Bohl

"We have a sport supervisor who looks over every sport, and for basketball and football, it is Richard Konzem. "Bohl said. "So when they have their needs for day-to-day operations, they would go to him. The coaches just go to their own associate athletes directors when they need something."
The structure allows Bohl more time to focus on all of the different areas of the Kansas University Athletics Corporation, instead of getting tied into one specific area. The structure has worked very effectively and will continue to work effectively, Bohl said.
Bohl said one of his main focuses was generating revenue to provide different opportunities for student-athletes. Kansas has an estimated $25 million
budget for next year, and will need to raise between $500,000-$700,000 to fit the growing costs of maintaining the department, such as salary raises and increases in scholarship money to cover the tuition increase.
Bohl also looks for more money to better the athletic facilities. Shortly after arriving, the KUAC received a $4 million gift from Dana and Sue Anderson to build the Anderson Family Strength Center, which is scheduled to open after spring break.
John Matsko Jr., administrative assistant, said that Bohl brought energy to the workplace.
"He brings tremendous enthusiasm and creativity to the athletics department," Matsko said. "His motor is always running, and he's always trying to bring about new ideas."
Doug Vance, assistant athletics director, said that the enthusi
"He's just a very warm person," Vance said. "He's someone who is very easy to know—easy to talk to."
asm carried over into Bohl's life outside the department offices.
Bohl also enjoys golfing and reading in his spare time. As athletics director, he plays golf at several functions per year. He loves to read with Sherry, and enjoys historical autobiographies, but the two have different reading styles, Bohl said.
Outside of work, Bohl enjoys spending time with his wife, Sherry, and three children. Sherry is his best friend, Bohl said, and his family helped throughout the job speculation.
"This has really been such a distraction," Bohl said. "But my family has been nothing but supportive."
"I like to be able to take a book and just chew on 15 pages for a while." Bolt said. "Sherry, on the
other hand, can just sit down and
read a book all the way through.
A midwesterner for almost his whole life, Bohl grew up in Ohio. After majoring in math at Bowling Green, Bohl gained his masters from Southern Mississippi while teaching electronics at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi. Miss While getting his doctorate at Ohio State, he became an intern at Ohio State, and eventually worked his way to associate athletics director. From 1987-1996, Bohl was athletics director at Toledo. Then he took the job at Fresno State from 1996-2001.
As for now, Bohl goes about his job as if there was never any doubt about his job security, concentrating on finding fans to put in the seats and ways to raise the excitement around his Kansas athletics program.

The student protests on college campuses against a war in Iraq do not seem very effective to Hammond.
Marcus Hammond, Paola junior, said going to observe the protest was the lesser of two evils.

the protest so they could witness confrontational rhetoric in action at KU. The students in Harris's class, introduction to rhetoric and social influence, watched the protesters.
"I'm pretty much apathetic." Hammond said. "We can either listen to a lecture about it or see it."
Approximately 230 colleges across the nation participated in the "Books not Bombs" student protest. More than 200,000 students nationwide expressed their opposition to a war in Iraq, Flott said.
The KU organization Students for Peace helped coordinate the activities at the University of Kansas for "Books not Bombs." Flott, a member of Students for Peace, said the group wanted to have weekly rallies and marches on campus against a war. Students for Peace is also planning panel discussions with faculty to examine what war in Iraq would mean.

seven months sooner than they had planned. Although the couple said they had nothing to complain about, Allen said because of the short notice, some out-of-town guests won't be able to attend the wedding.
"Weddings are usually for everyone else
except for the couple." Zellner said. "It must be great to have someone else take care of all the work."
especially won't care because it's going on in Lawrence, Kansas."
The wedding will be open to the public at Union Station in Kansas City, Mo., and Mayor Kay Barnes will speak during the ceremony. Following the wedding, Allen and Cornette will ride in a sleigh in the St. Patrick's Day Parade downtown.
"We will either go to Sedona, Ariz., Cabo San Luces, or to the Bahamas," Cornette said. "We are really hoping for the beach."

Nurses

ships that are available just to male students, Clifford said.
Heath Scheibmeir, Piqua junior, is also in the nursing school. He got a degree in music education at Bethany College before returning to school to be a nurse.
He said he chose to go back to school because of the promising future for nurses caused by nationwide demand.
Like Benson, Scheibmeir said he liked how involved nurses were able to be with patients, even more so than doctors.
Scheibmeir wants to start out being a nurse in the critical care
unit and then eventually be a nurse in anesthesiology, he said.
Even though he is in the minority at the nursing school, he doesn't see the stereotype of nurses being all female as much as he thought he would, Scheib-meir said.
The reason for this, he said, is more males are choosing to go into nursing. But he also joked "not that we are planning on taking over."
Some of the male nursing students like being the minority more than others, said Scheibmeir, who's married.
"Most of the single guys think it's heaven," he said.
