Evolution ruled optional, in theory anyway
Local reaction praises, berates decision
Story by Amber Stuever • Photo illustration by Kyle Ramsey
In the aftermath of the Kansas State Board of Education's decision to de-emphasize the teaching of evolution, the heated debate between science, religion and politics continues.
The board voted 6-4 on Aug. 11 to adopt standards that do not require evolution to be taught in private and public schools in Kansas.
"It's very clear that some members of the Board of Education are simply ignorant of modern science knowledge," said Walter Dimmick, associate professor of evolutionary biolo-
nator of

entific debate between evolution
that much.”

The new standard allows local boards of education to decide whether or not evolution will be taught in the classrooms.
the debate between evolution and creation science." Dimmick said. "There hasn't been a meaningful scientific debate on this in 30 years. This is a thinly veiled attempt to promote a particular religious viewpoint."
Dimmick said the debate between evolution and creationism is one for the religion and theology classrooms, not the science classrooms.
John Bacon, State Board of Education member who represented Lawrence, voted in favor of the standard.
"The intention is to encourage scientific evidence to be looked at critically and for students to think creatively without being driven to think one way or another, without seeing all the evidence." Bacon said.
Dimmick said the decision was an embarrassment to the Kansas school system, and its results would be far-reaching. He said
However, Bacon said his decision was based on input from parents who were not as convinced of the evolution theory when compared to the creation theory.
"There are still plenty of people that aren't on that bandwagon just yet," Bacon said. "Especially in Kansas."

Bourgeois Pig reopens despite construction

The latter is the duration that the Bourgois Pig, a downtown coffee bar, was closed due to structural concerns that were brought to the fore by a city utility project.
The Bourgeois Plg. 6 E. Ninth St, celebrated its grand re-opening Friday with catered food and drink specials after returning to operation the previous day. The bar was closed by the City of Lawrence July 12 after mortar from the building's brick walls crumbled during heavy vibrations from jackhammers working on the utility replacement project.
Russell Livingston, co-owner of the Bourgeois Pig, said that he knew there were structural concerns with the building that eventually needed to be addressed. However, he said that the building was always safe and that the city was at least partially responsible for the damage that led to the temporary closing.
Gunar Harmon, manager of the Bourgeois Pig, said that it would be difficult to estimate how much potential revenue was lost during the closing.
Livingston said that he was more concerned with his employees not being able to earn money and his loyal customers being mildly put out.
"July is generally a slow month," Harmon said. "If we had to be closed, this was the best
"It's hard to put a value to those things." Livingston said.
time of year."
"We took the lumps and moved on,"
He added that the Bourgeois Pig would not seek compensation from the city.
Livingston said "The primary focus was to get back open."
The damage to the Bourgeois Pig is the most tangible evidence of the inconvenience that the utility project brought to downtown businesses.
The construction that began with replacing a water line and adding sanitary and storm sewers last spring on Ninth Street around downtown had burrowed its way into the heart of the shopping district. Business owners have complained that customer traffic had slowed as a result of street closings and that business had suffered.
"It's been a difficult summer," said Marcia McFarlane, Downtown Lawrence Inc., administrator.
Not all of the news has been bad though. McFarlane said that some business owners had their best summers yet and that the city had been very communicative and up front about delays and problems.
Earlier this month, the city authorized more money to speed the completion of the project. The city added $22,682 to the contract with construction firm Wideman-Godfrey crews will work on Saturdays through Labor Day, with some work being performed at night.
City Manager Mike Wilden said that, for the most part, the construction downtown would be finished within the next two to three weeks.

Revised policy eases hearing of grievances at University
By Nathan Willis
reporter@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Filing a grievance against a person or organization at the University of Kansas will be easier and quicker this year for students, faculty and staff, but it will be harder to abuse the system.
Major changes in the grievance policy — which allows students, faculty and staff to challenge what they feel are unfair practices or policies by other students, faculty or staff in a court-like setting — will take effect Thursday as the University begins the new academic year. Administrators approved the changes this summer.
Students can use the grievance system for things such as actions to challenge grades. Faculty and staff can challenge actions by students, colleagues or bosses. The system works similarly to the courts, with lower-level bodies, usually one for each department, hearing complaints first. Either party can appeal verdicts, and cases can eventually be sent to the University's 50-member judicial board, which serves as a kind of supreme court.
Jeannette Johnson, assistant to the provost, said the changes had been a long time in coming. The current grievance system, established in 1981 and revised only slightly since then, contains several inconsistencies and redundancies, she said.
"Over the years, as people worked with the procedures, they found them problematic in ways we hadn't anticipated." Johnson said.
One of those problems was a bogged-down judicial process, said Richard Levy, a professor of law who has spent the last few years studying the system and making recommendations to the University. Under the old system, a complaint could be heard by several panels and administrators before working its way to the judicial board. Delays between hearings while administrators conducted reviews were sometimes extensive, he said, meaning that the judicial board didn't hear many cases until more than a year after they had first been filed.
"Just about everyone who had to manage cases ran into problems." Levy said. "There was basically no one who was pleased."
The changes will radically streamline the system, he said. Multiple hearings by entities below the judicial board and lengthy delays will no longer be problems. Instead, all appeals from the initial hearing will go directly to the judicial board. And the new rules will allow only 30 calendar days between the submission of a complaint and the initial hearing, further expediting the process. Lew said.
The streamlined procedures also will cut down on the potential for abuse of the system, Johnson said. In the past, some staff have filed complaints in more than one jurisdiction, allowing the person launching the complaint two chances of victory

Watkins director aims to increase awareness of center's assets
By Amber Stever
reporter@kansas.com
Kanson staff writer
Watkins Memorial Health Center's new director wants to promote the center and its staff and get a better idea of what students need from them.
Carol Seager, a 25-year veteran of health care administration, started as the new director of Watkins July 19
"We need to do a better job of letting students know what's here," Seager said. "We need to let them know not only the type of services here but the credentials of the staff. We have regionally and nationally known staff here, and I'm not sure the students know that."
One of the ways Seager hopes to publicize Watkins is through its "Focus on Health" series that will begin in September and continue through the semester. Twice a month, Watkins will hold a lecture
"We will be looking to do a lot more outside of this building, integrating into the community more," Seager said. "Outreach is going to be a goal, and 'Focus on Health' will be a key."
on health care issues for students at the KU Visitors Center.
Seager said she also hoped to receive an extensive assessment of what students need from their student health center.
"Our goal is to help us meet your goals," Seager said. "We want to
hear from you; we want to know what we can provide."
Seager came to the University of Kansas from Clemson University.
David Ambler, vice-chancellor for student affairs, said Seager was chosen because of her enthusiasm and wealth of experience.

Seager replaced James E. Strobl who retired last year after 16 years as Watkins' director.
"I think we were all impressed with her wanting to find new ways of delivering our services, being more creative in how we approach the uniqueness of a student health
Seager has been an administrator for two other universities and various hospitals.
She spent the past five years as director of health services at the Redfern Health Center in Clemson, S.C. Seager also worked at Mount Clemens General Hospital in Mount Clemens, Mich.; Memorial Hospital in Michigan City, Ind.; Memorial
Hospital in South Bend, Ind.; and the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind. She was there for 12 years, first as the university employment manager and then as director of student health services.
Seager's awards include being named the Young Women's Christian Association's "Woman of the Year" and receiving Notre Dame's presidential award and the American College Health Association's E. Dean Lovett Award.

Dillons' shaplifter escapes minus stolen merchandise
A botched shoplifting attempt escalated into a frenzied chase the afternoon of Aug. 8 at Dilons, 1015 W. 23rd St., Lawrence police said.
A man loaded a Dillons' handbasket with two jumbo lobster tails, two smaller lobster tails, shrimp, one chicken fajita, one Sunkist orange and two T-shirts. He ran toward the west door but turned and escaped through the east exit.
The man was chased down the east side of the building by three Dillons' employees. He shimmied through a hole in a fence into a nearby apartment complex, where he crawled under a wooden deck, basket still in hand.
He then stuck his hand inside his pants and yelled "Ever been shot with a gun?"
The three employees backed away; seconds later they tackled him. They determined he had no gun and seized his groceries, valued at $118.20.
The man then ran south on Naismith Drive toward 24th Street. He has been described as 6-foot, 175 lbs., with a dark complexion. He was last seen wearing a maroon T-shirt and black shorts.
"There's a back-to-school shopping tip; pay for your stuff before you leave the store," said Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence Police Department.

Well-known pizza shop loses lease, moves store
After more than two decades of serving pizzas to students underneath The Wheel Cafe at 14th and Ohio streets, Pyramid Pizza has moved to a new location.
"It's not something that we wanted to do, because we liked that location," said Mark Dodson, owner of Pyramid Pizza.
Dodson said the location provided good business from football games and late night walk-up traffic and that students were about 80 percent of Pyramid's business. Finding a new location close to campus was Dodson's priority when he found out that Pyramid would be unable to renew its lease.
Pyramid's new location is 701 W. Ninth Street.
Pyramid was unable to renew its lease because Rob Farha, owner of The Wheel Cafe and lease-holder for the building that housed Pyramid, decided to open his own pizza place, The Wheel Pizza Co. Dodson said that although he did not want to move, he was not treated unfairly by Farha and was happy with the new location.

Farha could not be reached for comment.
Olathe student to be retried after hung jury
Because his trial ended in a hung jury, Gregory Hunsuck II, Olathe sophomore, will be retried at 8:45 a.m. Aug. 25 in Division II court on a rape charge stemming from an incident Oct. 17 at Ellsworth Hall, the Douglas County district attorney's office said.
Decisions were reached June 18 on the other two charges, furnishing alcohol to a minor and sexual battery. Hunsucker pleaded guilty to the first charge and was found not guilty on the second. Despite a three-hour deliberation, no unanimous decision could be reached on the rape charge.

Former secretary charged with theft from KU office
A former secretary in the Office of Minority Affairs was charged with five counts of theft this summer.
Constance Conboy, 45, will stand trial at 9 a.m. Nov. 3.
The charges came after money was reported missing Feb. 5 by Sherwood Thompson, former director of minority affairs. The thefts occurred between May 7, 1997 and Sept. 18, 1998.
James Kitchen, associate vice chancellor, said the amount taken was between $4,000 and $5,000. Kitchen said the theft was uncovered by an audit, but that he had been informed of suspicions before the audit took place.
Conboy's lawyer, Craig Stantiflee,
could not be reached for comment.
Alton Scales, director of the renamed Office of Multicultural Affairs, said it would be unfair for him to comment because he was not at the University at the time of the incident.

Former professor to lead new Board of Regents
A KU professor was appointed as the new executive director of the Kansas Board of Regents in July.
Kim Wilcox, the former chairman of the department of speech-language-hearing, is the first full-time chairman of the board since its responsibilities were increased this spring.
The Kansas Legislature voted to expand its governance to include the state's vocational schools, technical schools, and community colleges. Previously, the board was in charge of coordinating the operations of Kansas's six universities.
"I'm just excited to have the opportunity to take on this challenge and eager to get to work," Wilcox said.
Gov. Bill Graves also appointed four members and five new members to the board in June.

Downtown picture-perfect for photography exhibit
Downtown businesses are putting on their best faces and saying "cheese" as subjects of a photography exhibit that debuts at 6 p.m. tonight at the Lawrence Visitors Center, North Second and Locust streets
"The Faces of Downtown Lawrence - Portrait of a Business Community" is the brainchild of local photographer John Gladman and is supported by Downtown Lawrence Inc. The show features the owners and employees of 21 businesses.
Gladman said that his first priority was to make high-quality portraits and that he also wanted to capture the environment of each business.
Last winter, Gladman approached DLI with the idea, and DLI extended the opportunity to all members who had experienced success or offered something unique.
A ceremony and reception will mark the exhibit's debut, which is open to the public. Tonight's show is free, but planners are asking those interested in attending to call DLI at 842-3883.

Clinton to speak in KC; Vietnam veterans object
NATION
President Clinton will arrive amid controversy today in Kansas City to speak at the 10th National Convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He will address the group at 11 a.m. in the Battle Hall Convention Center, 301 West 13th St. Clinton's speech is part of the VFW's convention celebrating the organization's 100th anniversary. The convention will begin Saturday and continue until August 20.
Some of the 30,000 veterans and their families expected to attend the convention are unhappy with the president's military views.
George McClintock, commander of Platte City VFW Post 405S, said some veterans objected to Clinton's appearance because he avoided military service in the Vietnam War and because of his presidential record. McClintock, a Vietnam veteran, plans to skip Clinton's speech.

Mediation to replace multiple hearings
Of course, the quickest resolution to a problem is the one that doesn't require a hearing, said Molly Mulloy, administrative assistant for University Governance. To that end, a key component of the new policy is mediation, she said.
Continued from page 1A
in two different initial hearings, she said. That won't be possible under the new rules, she said.
The old policy contained mediation procedures, but it was too little, too late, Mulloy said.
"Once it was appealed to the judicial board, you had to have mediation, which always failed," Mulloy said.
It failed because the parties involved already had been through one or more hearings at that point and were too entrenched in their positions, she said. In addition, members of the judicial board — not trained mediators — worked to resolve disputes.
Now, mediation will come before the initial hearing when the sides have not yet become so entrenched, Mulloy said. In addition, trained or experienced mediators will work to resolve disputes, she said.
With these major changes and other minor tweaks, University administrators said they hoped the new system would function better than the one it replaces.
"You never know how something like this will work until you've tried it," she said.
Still, it's hard to know exactly how successful the new system will be. Johnson said.

Downtown business area gets new face,new store
By Clay McCusition reporter @kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Entertainment and shopping on the block of 10th and Massachusetts Streets will have a new face this fall.
The Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., is being renovated inside and outside to heighten its dance club atmosphere. And after two years of vacancy, the former Varsity Theater, 1013 Massachusetts St., is home to an Urban Outfitters clothing store.
"We're trying to preserve it, but at the same time we're trying to make it funky and new and fresh," said Nicki Geist, one of the Granada's managers.
Although the Granada will remain open, its renovations will take place during the morning and early afternoon hours during the next six months.
The renovations began last week. And month the, Granada added a Latin American dance night called "Viva Ritmo" ("Long Live Rhythm"). Each Wednesday evening features a wide array of Latin music played by a deejay. Though live bands may appear at Viva Ritmo in the future, the emphasis is on dancing.
"That was one of our big projects, getting that done,
because it's the first thing people see." Goel said.
"We're still a live music venue, but we're primarily a dance club." Geist said.
Inside the building, new furniture and fittings will update and brighten the decor. As with the other changes, the Granada management hopes the interior alterations will highlight the club as an attractive locale for drinks and dancing.

Urban Outfitters
"There have been a couple of people who liked it better as a movie theater, but the movie theater had been closed for two years," said manager Robbie Talley. "Mostly, people are very impressed."
"It's an investment, but it's obviously worth it," Geist said. "We want to make sure all our dance nights are busy."
Across the street from the Granada, Urban Outfitters inhabits the former Varsity Theater. The store opened July 14.
There are no movie screens or plush seats in the Varsity Theater anymore. Gleaming iron beams, graypainted concrete floors and a spiraling staircase showcase a large clothing collection, candles, books and assorted bric-a-brac.
"It definitely will bring foot traffic and business to this end of downtown." Talley said. "It's more of a destination store than a run-of-the-mill mall store."
After 2 years of vacancy and renovation, the Varsity Theater, 1013 Massachusetts St. is now home to an Urban Outfitters clothing store. Urban Outfitters is the only store in Kansas.

Urban Outfitters has about 30 locations throughout North America. The chain's Lawrence store is the only one in Kansas.
"It's a lot different from any of the other stores on Mass. street," said Megan Prather, Columbia, Mo., sophomore, who was shopping last weekend. "It's a cool-looking store."
Prather had visited an Urban Outfitters store once before, in New York. She said she was surprised and happy to find one in Lawrence.
"Last night we were walking on Mass, and we got all excited," Prather said. "I think it's great."

Tuition hike shows trend of rising college costs
University fees to rise $1 per credit hour
By Nathan Willis reporter@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Students and University of Kansas officials had mixed reactions to a 2.5 percent tuition hike and accompanying fee increases approved by the Board of Regents in June.
At its June 24 meeting in Topeka, the Regents approved a 2.5 percent increase in tuition and $1 per credit hour fee for technology and libraries in the 2000-2001 academic year. The tuition hike, which affects both in-state and out-of-state students, follows a 2.3 percent increase for this academic year.
The technology fee, which helps pay for computers and other high-tech equipment, was implemented last year but must be renewed by the Regents every year. The library fee, which will help pay for supplies and will keep one library open around the clock during finals, is new.
Barbara Conant, Regents communications director, said the Regents tried to keep tuition increases in line with inflation.
"The Board is cognizant of the effect that any kind of increase has on students." Conant said. "We want to keep education accessible and provide the resources students need. It's a true balancing act."
Conant said the average tuition across the nation was rising about 4 percent annually. She said the Regents were satisfied that the modest increase kept the balance.
Some University officials and students agreed that the hike was fair.
Lindy Eakin, associate provost for support services, said he thought the increase was reasonable.
The hike closely mirrors personal income growth in the state, making the true cost of tuition about the same, he said. He also noted that the Kansas Legislature's share of the budget would increase about 5 percent for the 2000-2001 school year, meaning tuition was not rising as fast as the overall budget.
Some students found the increase rea

sonable as well
The library and technology fees are fine with her too, because they are going to good causes, she said.
Jared Hamilton, Olathe senior, said that for out-of-state students like his girlfriend, the increase could squeeze already tight money. Still, he said he thought the increase was generally worth the resources it would provide.
But not everyone agreed; some of the Regents had a few reservations.
"It may set a precedent that we don't want to continue." Conant said.
Conant said that although the Regents supported the $1 fees for libraries and technology, the recent trend toward charging specific fees instead of increasing tuition could be bad in the long run because it could force students to bear costs that had traditionally been covered by the Legislature.
It's a precedent that some already are worried about.
Korb Maxwell, student body president,
vocally opposed the library fee during
the summer. Though it would provide $600,000 for University libraries, he said it was a cost that should be borne by the Legislature rather than students.
Maxwell was out of town last week and could not be reached for comment.
Eakin said Maxwell's sentiment was common.
"There are a number of people saying this is not a good trend, that the state's escaping their responsibility." he said.
Eakin said the Legislature's share of funding had declined throughout the past several years. In the 1980s funding from the Legislature covered about 70 percent of the budget while the other 30 percent came from tuition, he said. Now, the Legislature covers only about 60 percent of the tab while tuition covers 40 percent.
Although increases in the past few years have been much smaller than increases in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Eakin said students should continue to expect modest increases.
"As a public institution, students now and in the future will have to realize that tuition will have to rise in the future," Eakin said.

Lawrence stores encourage students to buy books online
By Amanda Kashuchi
reporter@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
With college students spending more and more time on the Internet, some Lawrence bookstores are moving toward the trend of selling textbooks online.
The three major sources for textbooks in Lawrence — the Kansas and Burge Unions, University Book Shop and Jayhawk Bookstore — now allow students to either pre-order or purchase books online. Although students could purchase books online from most bookstores for several semesters, it is only this fall that the online system is being pushed as an option.
The Unions have joined forces with efollett.com, one of the largest online textbook sellers owned by Follett Higher Education Group.
"By buying books online, students can save 25 percent on used books, save on shipping charges, and they don't have to wait in a check-out line," said Terri Shank, spokesperson for Follett. "It'a burreponed industry."
At efolet.com, students can have their books shipped to them or they can pick them up at their local bookstore.
Bill Getz, textbook manager at the bookstores at Kansas and Burge Unions, said he was enthusiastic about the recent partnership with Follett.
"We can serve all customers easily and they can purchase textbooks securely," he said. "They are delivered promptly."
Students can link to the Unions' Web site, www.jayhawks.com, and preview their purchases, preorder and place orders. The online system also allows faculty members to efficiently place textbook orders for their classes.
Shank said her company was keeping up with the times when they started their online market in 1995.
"We wanted to make our products available where the students were." she said.
University Book Shop allows students to preorder, reserve, purchase and look at prices at www.ubs.lawrence.com.
"We hope this will increase our revenue because it's one more convenience we offer to our customers," said Mike Lammers, manager of the book shop. "Everyone is so short on time now, you can do it from home."
Lammers said he expects to receive more traffic next semester when the book shop will advertise more.
"It's a secure transaction over the Internet," he said. "Or, you can pre-order over the Internet and pay at the store."
Jayhawk Bookstore offers the option of preordering at www.jayhawkbookstore.com, but students
can't see prices or pay for books online.
"We don't think it will hurt us because most students go to class first and then buy their books," said Justin Leming, computer department manager at the bookstore. "Online sellers can't deliver books in a day. They aren't as fast."
Shank said online bookstores are not trying to hurt local stores that do not have online capability.
"We are partnering with a lot of campus bookstores where students can buy online and pick up at their local store," she said. "We want maximum convenience for all."
Only the Unions have partnered with Follett. Both the University Book Shop and Jayhawk Bookstore have no plans in the future.
"We're a family run store," Lamers said. "We stay competitive by offering low prices."
Some students are hesitant to switch to buying books online.
"It's just as easy to stand in line and to make sure you get what need," said Carrie Waters, Overland Park junior.
Shank and her company said they hoped other students thought otherwise.
"Three years ago, we only had 25 schools with us," she said. "Now, we have over 800."

Fall break to begin for students in 2001
Early this summer, the Board of Regents approved the fall break proposal crafted at the University and recommended by Chancellor Robert Hemenway last May.
Barbara Conant, Regents communications director, said that the Regents were the last stop on the proposal's two-year journey toward approval.
"I think it passed fairly easily," Conant said. "I know it passed unanimously."
Conant said the Regents had been studying the proposal long before they met and voted, which allowed for an easier passage.
The break will give students two days off — a Thursday and a Friday — in the middle of October.
When Hemenway approved the break last spring, he stipulated that the first fall break would be
a test. He said that if students abused the privilege by skipping class and leaving early, he would rescind it.
The calendar for the 2001-2002 school year also includes a longer winter break, which will allow for an intersession during the first two weeks of January. It maintains the same number of class days by shortening each finals period by one day.

Rider trends shift KU bus routes

Students at Haskell Indian Nations University will be able to use the KU on Wheels service when buses resume running today, but modifications to two routes will restrict access to West Lawrence.
The East Lawrence route, which goes southeast to the intersection of 23rd Street and Haskell Avenue, now includes a stop at the circle drive at Haskell.
"We had a small but very consistent number of students who needed the bus either to get to Haskell or to KU," said Karen Swisher, Haskell interim president. "It's nice for the students to have."
Kasold Drive is now the western boundary for the West Sixth Street route; formerly, Folks Road near Free State High School was the boundary. And the 22nd and Kasold route will no longer travel south on Iowa Street from the University and then west on Clinton Parkway; instead, it will go west on 15th Street and south on Kasold Drive.
Holly Krebs, KU on Wheels director, said demand for buses at Haskell increased, while riders on the West 6th and 22nd and Kasold routes decreased.
"They just weren't being utilized like they could be," Krebs said. "Most of the time there would only be just a couple of people on those buses."
KU on Wheels also has expanded the Park and Ride service. Last year, 300 spaces in the Lied Center parking lot were allotted for the service;
this year, there will be 500 spaces available.
"I'm assuming we'll see all 500 of them," Krebs said. Eight buses will serve the lot each hour from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Park and Ride passes cost $120 for the year. ■ KU on Wheels also requests that students who wish to buy bus passes bring back their old bus pass card if they have one. KU on Wheels will provide a sticker
to show that the pass is valid. Bus passes are available at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union. A pass for the fall semester costs $60 and $110 for the school year.
and the Senior year
kn Krebs and Ann Ewesole,
associate dean of students, will serve on the Lawrence Public Transit Advisory Committee. The city hired consulting firm KA Associates to draft a proposal to create a municipal bus system that would coordinate
with KU on Wheels.
Although City Manager Mike Wildgen said 2 mills are included in next year's budget to raise the $1 million needed for a city bus system, Krebs said KU student fees probably would not be affected.
"I don't expect them to if our system stays the same, and we're trying to keep our system as similar as it is now," Krebs said.

The spring of the new century may mark the birth of public transit in Lawrence if all goes as planned.
"We're in for the real time," said Mike Wildegen, city manager.
mike Wilden, city manager. Mayor Erv Hodges said that the Lawrence City Commission expected to see the system start operations by spring 2000.
Hodges said that about $1 million of the city's general budget had been set aside for start-up and initial operating costs for the new system. About $500,000 already has been allocated for an on-demand transportation system that is already in place for residents with special needs.
In July, the commission contracted with KA Associates of Wichita for $65,000 to help plan and develop Lawrence's new mass transit system. KA Associates is working with the city to develop routes and schedules, establish fares, develop a plan to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, buy vehicles and equipment, and locate outside funding sources.
The contract also calls for developing a marketing plan, identifying how many and what types of jobs will be required, reviewing and updating operational policies, and providing staff support to help start the system.
"There's a lot of activity going on now," said Hugh Kierig, a consultant with KA Associates.
Kierig said that his firm was fast-tracking certain tasks and that he expected it would meet the goal of having a start-up system in place by March.
Hodges said that KA Associates had received excellent references from other cities that it had worked with on public transportation, and that the firm would be particularly responsive to Lawrence's specific needs.
"They are a smaller group, and we felt we would get personal attention," Hodges said.
MEETING DATES FOR PUBLIC TRANSIT COMMITTEE:
Aug. 19
Sept. 2
Sept. 16
Sept. 30
Oct. 14
Oct. 28
All meetings will be at 9 a.m. at the City Commission Room in City Hall.
Wildgen said that coordinating with the University of Kansas' bus system also was a factor in the decision.
KA Associates has worked with Ohio State University and the University of Oklahoma.
"We looked for firms that had experience working with universities, and they had it." Wildgen said.
Kierig said that coordinating the city's and the University's buses would be a primary concern as the system developed. He said it was important to eliminate duplicate services so that University and city buses weren't covering the same ground, and so both services could be used by students and non-students alike.
KA Associates is working with the Public Transit Advisory Committee, which was appointed by the mayor this summer to provide input. The committee is made up of representatives from most groups with a stake in public transportation, Hodges said, including the University, Haskell Indian Nations University and Independence, Inc, an advocacy group for people with special needs.
The committee will hold open meetings with KA Associates. The first meeting will be at 9 a.m. Friday at the City Commission Room in City Hall, 6th and Massachusetts streets. There is no time set aside for public comment during these meetings, but Hodges said that KA Associates would be seeking public input, which is required by their contract.

Landmark bakery set to reopen
By Katie Hollar reporter@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
After nine months of locked doors and doughnutless nights, Joe's Bakery, 616 W. Ninth St., is scheduled to reopen sometime near Labor Day.
In November 1998, divorce proceedings forced owner Ralph Smith to choose between running his business and fighting for custody of his children. He made his children the priority and closed Joe's.
"I can rebuild my business," he said. "I can't just have more kids." When Smith's divorce was finalized Jan. 5, he received partial custody of his children. He has been working every day since to refurbish and remodel the landmark bakery, a favorite of KU students for decades.
the bakery in 1954, and Ralph Smith began running the business in 1980.
Smith's father, Joe Smith, opened
He said the break gave him time to reexamine the bakery and break away from the tunnel vision of everyday tasks.
His hiatus inspired him to implement several changes to the bakery.
"The same guy owns the bakery, but with a different outlook," he said.
In recent weeks, Smith has installed a smaller, more efficient oven, created a window to the kitchen and rearranged the floor plan of the bakery's front.
He also is contemplating changing the menu by cutting back on sandwiches and possibly adding pizza and cookie bouquets. He emphasized that Joe's classics — hot glazed doughnuts and egg-salad sandwiches — still would be available.
The bakery's hours have yet to be
determined. Although Joe's used to be open as late as 2 a.m., Smith is considering catering to an earlier crowd.
"After 20 years of working nights, I'm kind of tired of it, but I hate to shut my nights completely," he said. "I may just open up and float awhile."
For KU students who have been deprived of Joe's pastries since Thanksgiving, the bakery's reopening is welcome news.
"I love Joe's," said Frances Gorman, Shawnee junior. "I am so happy, I can't wait. They are the only bakery in town that makes my long johns the right way, with real cream instead of that pudding stuff."
Greg Lewis, Norfolk, Va., junior,

"When my dad went here, he gained 25 pounds his freshman year
just from Joe's," he said. Maybe

Student Senate meetings move to campus residences
By Chris Borniger reporter @kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Student Senate meetings will be in some unusual places this fall their constituents' residences.
The Student Senate Executive Committee last month approved a bill introduced by Student Body Vice President Dede Seibel to move the weekly meetings out of their traditional venue, the Kansas Union, this semester.
The new locations include McColum Residence Hall, the Visitors Center at Templin Hall, Smith Hall, Naismith School, Delta Gamma sorority and Wagonn Student Athlete Center.
Seibel said Smith was chosen to accommodate scholarship hall residents because the scholarship halls are not large enough for the meetings. The meeting at Wagonn, she said, would be an attempt to involve athletes in Senate meetings.
"Senate has done a little reaching out, but most people only see us during campaigns," Seibel said. "We thought bringing Senate to our constituents would be a good first sten."
stuffs would be a good first step." Although meetings always have been open to students, Seibel said she hoped the venue changes would encourage greater participation in Senate.
"We need to improve the atmosphere of the meetings," she said. "Sometimes we lose sight of what we're really talking about. This will enable senators to reach out to more students, and students will get to see what we're all about."
Mandy Petzold, vice president of programming for the Association of University Residence Halls, said she was glad that Senate would meet in the residence halls.
"it shows they care about people up here," Petzold said.
However, not all students are satisfied with the changes.
"I'm curious to see how all-encompassing they'll be," said Brett Stoppel, off-campus senator. "I don't see how they'll accommodate students who don't live on campus."
About a week before each meeting, the more than 3,000 students in the residence halls will receive notices in
their mailboxes informing them that a meeting will be held in their vicinity.
But, Stoppel said, keeping senators informed would be difficult.
"Attendance may actually decrease," he said. "I know I'll have to check every other Wednesday because I'll forget."
StudEx and committee meetings still will take place in the Kansas Union. The first Senate meeting will be 7 p.m. Sept. 15 at the lobby in McColm.
In other business this summer, StudEx:
- Organized the Leadership Training Camp, which will be Sept. 11-12. David Adkins, former student body president, will be the keynote speaker.
- Modified meetings' agenda orders. Committee reports will be reviewed by StudEx instead of presenting them to the entire Senate. StudEx officers still will give reports.
■ Assigned charges to each Senate committee. StudEx will review how each committee is fulfilling these charges, Seibel said.

Mazumdar said the University's announcement that alcohol would be allowed in the suites when they open this fall was motivation to draft the resolution.
"The University prostrates itself and shows no class and no principles by allowing alcohol." Mazumda said
all institutions governed by the Board of Regents. Section G-14 of the Regents Policy and Procedure Manual delegates the authority to approve alcoholic beverage service to the chief executive officer of each university.
All 11 StudEx members approved the resolution, which was sponsored by Partha Mazumdar, graduate senator, and StudEx Chairman Marlon Marshall. The resolution criticized the University for allowing alcoholic beverages to be served in Memorial Stadium's scholarship suites and in the James Naismith Society Room in Allen Fieldhouse.
Jeannette Johnson, assistant to the provost,said Chancellor Robert Hemenway would approve alcohol only for functions sponsored by University groups at which no undergraduates will be present. The holders of leases to skyboxes in Memorial Stadium can serve alcohol at their own discretion. At all other approved areas, alcohol service only can be provided by staff at the Kansas and Burge Unions.
The University takes precautions against improper use of alcohol, Johnson said. The group sponsoring

The only events eligible for such approval, however, are official University events and fund-raising activities for University programs. Alcohol service must be approved in advance and is allowed only in non-classroom areas. A list of these areas, which include the Spencer Museum of Art, the Lied Center, the Museum of Natural History and the Edwards Campus, must be on file with the Regents.
The resolution states, "It is not the alcohol we desire, it is the hypocrisy we deplore."
The University of Kansas policy that allows alcohol to be present at certain events came under fire in June when the Student Senate Executive Committee unanimously passed a resolution condemning it.

Mazumdar said the policy sensus a mixed message to students in the wake of recent efforts by the University to curb student alcohol abuse. He cited the zero-tolerance policy enforced in University housing, the ban on beer sales at the Jaybowl and Hawk's Nest in the Kansas Union, and administrators' participation in a task force designed to curb student drinking.

Dede Seibel, student body vice president, said StudEx wanted to send a strong message to the administration expressing student disapproval of the policy.
"We wanted to bring to the chancellor what our feelings are on the policy, especially one with such disparities," Seibel said. "At least we brought them to the table."
He said the University had acknowledged the resolution but stands behind its policy.
The University of Kansas universities are under new direction.
Keith Russell, hired during the summer as the new dean of libraries, said he hoped to make KU libraries more friendly and positive. He said he also wanted more students to take advantage of library resources.

Russell said he was excited about some of the changes the libraries
"I just watched the ads and talked to a lot of colleges," he said. "It's an honor to be head of such a recognized library."
"It's challenging, but it's important to make changes to the library systems," Russell said. "Our ultimate goal is to get any student any information they want any time."

'Chicken Soup' features KU student
Sophomore author obtains writing goal
By Amanda Kaschube
Kansan staff writer
The new book Chicken Soup for the College Soul, features a collection of stories written by college students, including a KU student.
Lia Gay, Santa Monica, Calif., sophomore, wrote two short stories about her experiences in college for the book, which was released two weeks ago. The book also deals with topics such as alcohol and roommates and features best-selling authors and several chief executive officers.
"I wrote on my experiences at college that I thought everyone could relate to," Gay said. "The first time you leave home is hard and this book can help you."
In the book, she writes about dealing with communal showering and returning home for Thanksgiving Break for the first time since arriving on campus.
In *The Long Road Home*, Gay writes that when she went to college, she changed and so did her family. In *Shoes in the Shower*, Gay writes that meeting new friends is difficult at times, but worth it in the end.
Kimberly Kirberger, the book's coauthor, first met Gay when she was a baby. Kirberger, who has coauthored several other Chicken Soup books, said she asked Gay to write stories for the 1998 Chicken Soup for the Teen Soul when Gay was 15.
"Lia helped me get the green light to write the book," Gay said. "She
wrote a letter of recommendation to the company and sent in several sample stories as well."
Since then, Gay also has written stories for Chicken Soup for the Teen Soul III, and Chicken Soup for the Teen Soul II, which she also helped edit.
"She just wrote from her own experience," Kirberger said. "She's a great writer."
Kirberger said Chicken Soup for the College Soul had received a great response so far.
"I've heard from college students who said college was not frightening after they read the book," she said. "It's the perfect gift to pick up for anyone in college."
Emily Liggett, Prairie Village junior, read the book its first week in stores.
"Lia's experience and her position when she wrote the stories was more helpful to freshman because she felt the same way," she said.
Gay said she received several letters from teen-agers who appreciated her stories in the teen series.
"They just said they related to my stories and they knew exactly how I felt," she said.
Gay and Kirberger might collaborate in the future on another teen-age love series, which would deal with useful topics such as relationships.
"We're going to do a three-part series," Gay said. "One will deal with relationships, one with friendships, and another with tough stuff."
Gay, who is majoring in journalism, hopes to work for magazines when she is older. She said the Chicken Soup books had opened a lot of doors for her.
"I've always wanted to write," she said. "This is my dream come true."

KU freshman gets jail time for swastika burning case
By Michael Terry reporter @kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A University of Kansas freshman who was accused of burning a swastika in the carpet of a third floor hallway at Oliver Hall on March 18, was convicted of arson, a felony, July 23.
Douglas County District judge Paula Martin sentenced Aaron Hale Culwell, a St. Francis freshman, to 30 days in jail.
Kansas sentencing guidelines state that arson carries the presumption of probation if the convicted person has no prior criminal history, which Culpech did not
He was placed on probation for two years, but if he fails to meet the conditions of his probation, he will go to prison for one year.
He also must pay court costs,
submit to random drug testing and
pay $1,081 in resituation to the Uni-
versity of Kansas.
The conditions of Culwell's probation require him to attend school full time or find a full-time job once he is released from jail. Culwell could not be reached for comment, and his lawyer, James
Rumsey, would not comment on the sentence.
The student body has condemned crimes such as Culwell's in a hatecrime referendum, which passed in a 2,993 to 1,051 vote during the April 16 Student Senate elections. The referendum called for mandatory and permanent expulsion of students convicted of committing violent hate crimes or sexual assault.
Ashley Rogers, Topeka senior, said she thought a hate-crime policy was a good idea.
"I'm not sure how constitutional the policy is, though," Rogers said. "I think the proposal is too broad and needs to be narrowed and more defined."
Whether a crime like Culwell's will lead to permanent expulsion from the University is not certain. Even though students have passed the referendum, it must be brought before the administration for approval
David Ambler, vice chancellor of student affairs, said that the zero-tolerance policy had not been brought before the administration yet. He said he believed that the Senate would prepare and bring
"As defined now, the University will not accept the zero-tolerance policy," Ambler said. "The call for immediate and permanent expulsion without a hearing is troubling, and the Student Senate will be advised of this."
the policy to the administration once the semester starts.
Ambler said the courts had ruled that to immediately and permanently expel someone without a hearing at the university level would infringe upon that student's rights.
He said the University had its own policy that required a student be given due process through a hearing before sanctions were imposed, which can include suspension or expulsion.
Ambler suggested that if the Senate decided to push forward with the zero-tolerance policy that they should get together with a lawyer and draw out specific details for defining such a policy.
"It's difficult to define what is and isn't a hate crime, and we don't want to implement a policy that will not hold up in a court of law," Ambler said.

Safety officers lack specific plan if wave of violence visits campus
By Michael Terry reporter@kanson.com Kansan staff writer
Recent acts of random violence across the country have sparked questions about how safe public places really are and whether cities are prepared to handle life-threatening situations.
On April 20, 12 students and one teacher were killed by two high school students at Columbia High School in Littleton, Colo. Numerous others were injured. In July, there was a shooting spree that crossed state lines from Illinois to Indiana, and another man killed his family and nine people in Georgia. Then, on Aug. 10, five people were shot inside a Jewish community center in Los Angeles.
Sergeant Troy Mailen said that the University of Kansas does not have a specific contingency plan for the types of incidents that occurred in Littleton and Los Angeles, but that they try to be prepared for
Shootings have occurred in Los Angeles, with a population of more than 3.6 million, to Littleton with a population of about 39.000.
anything.
"Officers at KU's Public Safety Office are trained extensively at the police academy and maintain their commission through a variety of training exercises," Malen said. "Our officers are always pushing themselves to do the best job possible to make the campus safe."
Felicia Nichols, Topeka junior, said she felt safe on KU's campus.
"The University feels like a community, but things are going to happen that we can't stop," she said.
Mailen said the department also had a trained negotiator on staff, Schuyler Bailey, to deal with hostage situations when they arise.
David Ambler, vice chancelor of student affairs, said although there is no specific contingency plan for incidents like the one in Littleton, there is a protocol to follow.
"The University is connected to the Douglas County Emergency Network Planning System, which gets the emergency personnel and vehicles to the sight," Ambler said. "These are usually used in natura'
disasters but could be used for other incidents as required."
Ambler said that he thought KU was an easier target than Columbine High School in Littleton because of all the access roads in and out of the University and its size.
"The University does everything it can to protect its students, but this is a public university and you can't just kick people off," Ambler said.
Mailen said that preventative measures are the best way to stop violent incidents from occurring.
KU public safety officers are on duty 24 hours a day working in 10-hour shifts, and there is always a shift sergeant on duty in case there is a major crisis, Malen said.
For the last five years, the University has had a volunteer bicycle patrol trained by the Topeka Police Department.
"This is a way to keep a high visibility presence at football games and other events to deter crime," Mailen said. "On bicycles we're able to respond quicker to tight situations that an officer in a car might have difficulty reaching."

Kansas history needs rewording

Historical society to rewrite, alter offensive signs
By Lesley Simmons reporter@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Kansas highways are devoid of about 35 historical markers while the Kansas State Historical Society refurbishes them after complaints from community members about the portrayal of the history of their areas.
The Kansas State Historical Society displays more than 125 historical markers across the state, said Kristen Howland, public information officer for the society. The markers are signs that explain the historical significance of an area to travelers.
After receiving complaints from across the state about some markers, the society decided to review the accuracy and language of each one. Howland said the society had been interested in updating the signs since the start of the decade and that funds were made available this year by the Department of Transportation.
Since 1994, a committee of legislators, members of the society, community members and employees of the Kansas Department of Transportation have examined all 125 markers.
Some of the 35 signs only will be refurbished, but others will have wording changes.
Staff members at the society have been working on the new texts for the past two years.
The "Lawrence and the Old Trail" marker located at a service area on Interstate 70 eight miles east of Lawrence is one of the markers that will be replaced by November.
One section of the old marker described the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails as "beset by Indians.
choiera and starvation. Over them traveled explorers, traders, missionaries, soldiers, forty-niners and emigrants, the pioneers who brought civilization to the western half of the United States."
On the new marker, that section will say that the Oregon-California and Santa Fe Trails were traveled in the 1800s by "explorers, missionaries, soldiers, emigrants in search of land, and forty-niners in search of gold" following "trails established centuries earlier by Native Americans. Tribes living in this area during the 1800s included the Delaware, Kaw, Kickapoo, Shawnee, and Wyandot."
One marker in Lecompton
already has been replaced as a result of lobbying by community members. The old marker identified the city as a former slavery capital. The new one identifies the city as the former capital of the Kansas Territory, but still mentions that Lecompton was pro-slavery.
Howland said the new marker had been up for more than six months.
Steve Jansen, director of the Watkins Community Museum in Lawrence, said some members of his church in Topeka had been unhappy with the Lecompton sign. They thought the sign boasted of the city's pro-slavery past, he said.
Jansen said he understood the motivation to change the sign but wanted it to remain historically accurate.
"If we never grapple with the past, we will never come to terms with the present." Jansen said.
The Department of Transportation is cooperating with the society to install the markers.
Rick Ross, chief landscape architect at the department, said that his office had received photos of the new markers in progress at the foundry.
Howland said that all the new markers would be installed across the state by November.
Greeks to continue recruitment process
Edited by Mike Loader
By Katie Hollar
reporter@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Ballou, Topeka freshman, is one of 860 KU women who will participate in sorority recruitment this week.
Hannah Ballou admits she's a lit
t nerve.
"I'm kind of scared, but I think I'm going to have a good time," she said. "KU is such a big place, I would like to be part of a smaller, more familiar group."
This year's sorority recruitment began Aug. 14 with check-in and orientation. Parties began yesterday, and the process will continue through Saturday. This year, for the first time, formal fraternity recruitment will be in October instead of August.
Sorority life has been a tradition at the University of Kansas since the first chapter, Pi Beta Phi, was chartered in 1873. Recruitment has been an annual event since the 1910s.
"Last year we voted to move it to October so that men who did not have a chance to join in the summer now have an opportunity to do so," said Brian Cooper, Interfraternity Council vice president for recruitment.
Prospective sorority members will attend a series of parties this week, narrowing their choices each day. Yesterday the women visited all 13 sorority chapters, and during the next two days they will visit nine. On Saturday, the week's efforts will end in the placement of members into chapters.
Erin Carlson, Panhellenic VicePresident for Public Relations, said that while 860 women will participate in recruitment, about 650 will join chapters. Carlson explained that this difference was due to participants withdrawing from the process
"If you continue to go back every day, you will be placed in a chapter," she said.
RECRUITMENT BY THE NUMBERS
Chapter Houses: 13
Recruitment Counselors: 52
Recruitment Teams: 26
Parties: 30
Prospective Members: 860
Available Slots: 650
"We feel it's really an appropriate name change," Carlson said. "Rush is kind of an archaic name in many ways."
Several changes have been made to the selection routine. First of all, the name change went from the traditional rush to recruitment.
Moreover, the selection method has been modified to empower the prospective members. Instead of the chapters choosing the women, this year the women rank their favorites as well.
"That's the big difference this year," said Taylor Gill, Panhellenic Vice-President for Recruitment. "The ranking is a more user-friendly system."
Carlson said these changes reflected a trend around the nation's universities.
"A lot of stronger greek communities are going to a recruitment system," she said.
There is one less chapter on KU's campus this year. Over the summer, Alpha Xi Delta decided to close its doors. As a result, the Panhellenic Association raised the pledge-class quota to allow more women an opportunity to join.
"We went from 14 to 13, so we wanted to make sure every woman has a chance," Carlson said.
Gill offered advice for participants like Ballou.
"Keep an open mind, have fun and have a good attitude," she said.

Press box nears completion, despite setbacks
Workers to finish by home opener
By Michael T. Rigg
sportswriter @kanan.com
Kansan sportswriter
A one-day worker walkout and necessary increases in funding were unforeseen roadblocks this summer along the way toward the construction of the University of Kansas' new press box at Memorial Stadium.
In order to avoid making its stadium a work in progress, the University will be forced to pay up to $300,000 to ensure that the construction will be completed on time.
Such measures are out of the ordinary in the state of Kansas, Bob Frederick, athletics director, said.
Walton Construction Company, a Kansas City, Mo., construction firm, will use the money to compensate for the use of additional workers needed to ensure the project's timely completion.
Frederick said the project would be completed by Aug. 31, with the exception of punch list items that were not vital to the
press box opening Sept. 11 for the Jayhawks' first home game against Cal State-Northridge.
"It's the first time it's happened in the state of Kansas for a construction project," Frederick said. "However, the box will have a completed look for it in time for the first game."
Walton Construction presented Fredrick a budget at the beginning of the summer that would have set the completion date back to Oct. 4, which would have caused the press box to be closed for three home football games.
Further complications arose Aug.4 when union workers on the project walked off the job for a day because of the employment of non-union painters.
"The painting contractors weren't union members, so some of the other workers on the project hung a sign up outside the stadium making everyone aware of the situation." Darren Cook, director of facilities, said. "When the union workers arrived that morning and saw the sign, they all went home for the day."
Walton Construction handled the matter internally, and the workers returned the next day.
The press box, which will include 36 new scholarship suites and a new media area,
will be three times the size it was last fall. Upon completion of the project's phase two, the total project will cost the University $26 million.
The other part of Phase Two, the new MegaVision board on the stadium's south side, will be fully functional for the Cal State-Northridge game.
The board officially will be unveiled Aug. 22 when the University will show two movies on the board as part of the football team's "Get Ready Rally."
"The video board is just about done," Cook said. "It's moving along quickly and smoothly."
The board was unveiled to the media as part of the team's media day Aug. 5. Photos of the board at media day are displayed on the athletic department's official Web site (www.jayhawks.org).
The University also will recover the running track at the stadium in October for about $178,000, which will return the Kansas Relays track event from a two-year hiatus. The new track will not affect the University's plan to lower 'the football field, remove the track, and replace the AstroTurf playing surface with natural grass, Frederick said.
"I it's just a matter of fund raising," he said. "We need to raise enough money to

build a new softball field, which will open the door for a new combined soccer and track stadium to be built in the softball field's place, which will lead to the removal of the track at Memorial
Stadium."
Both new stadiums will be near their present locations south of Anschutz Sports Pavilion and west of Oliver Residence Hall.

Computer Store Owner Arrested for Criminally Low Prices
The employees of UnI Computers were treated to a rude surprise when they found out that their ridiculously low prices on both new and used computers represented a threat to their competition. With UnI's wide selection of both Macintosh and PCs as well as a top-match certified sales and service staff, it's easy to see how a large computer conglomerate would feel threatened by UnI's professional staff and friendly service. Charges were dropped soon after the arrest and UnI is again open for business buying, selling, and servicing all major brands. Asked if this incident would make them raise their prices, Charles Jones the owner said, "We don't need any stinkin' high prices."

Hawk Week greets new students
Free busing is among new additions to week
Coca-Cola
By Emily Hughey reporter@kanson.com Kanson staff writer
The freshmen are here.
As new students, they get an entire week or activities dedicated to them; Hawk Week.

While primary goals of the event are having fun and offering a warm welcome, getting students involved is at the crux of Hawk Week coordinator Lindsey Gaston's vision.
Free food, campus tours, dancing, live music, seminars and movies all are available to students. Hawk Week, which started with UnionFiesta at 8 p.m. Saturday in the Kansas Union, is a nine-day series of programs, seminars and activities geared toward orienting new students to the University of Kansas.
"You have all the different organizations and things you're interested in available to you. When you go to that first meeting, that takes a lot of guts and Hawk Week makes that easier for people," said Gaston, El Dorado senior.
Gaston said more than 100 student organizations would park information booths or tables on the Strong Hall lawn where students could sign up to join the groups. As a senior, Gaston said he recommended that students take advantage of the accessibility of organizations during Hawk Week.
"The time you have here is short," Gaston said. "I'm realizing that more and more. You should experience as much as you can."
While the Office of New Student Orientation is sponsoring most of the Hawk Week events, Student Union Activities also has a key role. Along with Gaston, SUA president Cameron Popp has been planning Hawk Week for the past four months. He said he thought that this year's Hawk Week would be one of the best.
"Hawk Week has taken some steps forward." Popp said. "With some of the new events and improving the old ones, I really think it's going to be a big success."
Unlike years past, free busing will be available for students to every event.
Saturday night's UnionFiesta also is new, replacing the Hawk-a-Manka kick off held last year at the Lied Center. Gaston said that the event was replaced to draw more students.

Bill Towns, operations supervisor of the Kansas Union, said he was pleased with the turnout for the first event of Hawk Week. About 1,500 people attended Union Fiesta.
Popp said funding for the event came from a multitude of outlets, the greatest of which was Coca-Ca; it donated $10,000 to the program. He said SUA spent about $4,000, and Gaston said he thought the entire week's cost would be about $35,000 to $40,000.

IRS audit declares misuse, closes alumni restaurant
By Amanda Kaschube Kansan staff writer
Kansan staff writer
The conclusion of a three-year audit by the Internal Revenue Service has left University of Kansas alumni without a meeting place in the Adams Alumni Center.
Last month, the Learned Club closed its kitchen. The IRS ruled that the club, the restaurant at the Adams Alumni Center, was not being used as the Alumni Association originally intended and would not be able to use its la carte menu for lunch and dinner or any other University functions.
"It's a great tragedy," said Fred Williams, president of the association. "Many people have been hosted in the center, either guests of the University or people who just stopped in on quick notice."
The IRS concluded that the club, which was established as part of the association — a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) entity — did not qualify as a 501(c)3 activity because some of its services were not closely aligned
with the Association's overall mission to serve the University as a whole instead of individuals. The IRS interpreted some club activities as being more appropriate for a social club than for a not-for-profit, charitable organization.
"We were all shocked," Williams said. "We wondered why the IRS would choose to make this a regulatory issue. The club had been a great benefit to the community."
While the club will not be used for dining purposes, the association will maintain its Kansas liquor license and will continue to host pre-game and pre-theater buffets with the help of private caterers. The agreement with the IRS allows the association to host any banquet or meeting events that already had been scheduled by individuals before the ruling.
"There is a fine line as what the IRS considers a private, single individual event versus an event of larger size (association or university-run)," Williams said. "As long as the event is a University one, then it's okay."
Mary Beck Briscoe, a 1699 graduate of the University who lives in Topeka but is moving to Lawrence, said the ruling saddened her.
"We always enjoyed going there for dinner and we had hoped to dine there more after we moved," she said. "It's a big loss."
The IRS settlement preserves the Association's not-for-profit status and does not require it to pay any taxes or penalties. Williams said the association actually received refunds from the IRS on previously paid income taxes.
One of Williams main concerns was the club's effect on the 11 full-time and 40 part-time employees of the club, many of whom were students.
Negotiations are under way with caterers who will be permitted to use the kitchen facilities during events.
"We had an experienced group of employees throughout the years and it has been a venue for students to be employed," he said. "The Lawrence community is continuing to grow and I feel all of the
The association will retain the 44 full-time and parttime employees who work in non-dining related programs.
employees will find other jobs."
Williams said the closing should not affect alumni membership to the Association.
"The Association will not cease," he said. "Most of our membership is outside the state of Kansas and uses the club for larger events instead of regular meals."
Like most associated with the University, Briscoe was unaware the audit took place.
"We didn't hear about it until it was all over," she said. "I think many will be surprised when they hear the ruling.
Williams agreed.
"It will have a tremendous impact on the faculty and administration who used it as individual members," he said.

Battle tensions in Kashmir rise, conflict is not a discussion topic
By Michael Terry
reporter@Kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The most recent evidence pointing toward the heightening of the battle for the northern state of Kashmir came last weekend, coinciding with the two countries' independence days. According to The Associated Press, at least seven people were killed and 17 were wounded in Kashmir and in the northeastern state of Assam after separatist militants fired at a police station and set off bombs.
Despite escalating tensions in India and Pakistan this summer, many students are not aware of the details of the conflict and are not concerned about the issue.
The continuation of violence in the area was sparked by Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's speech in New Delhi yesterday urging Pakistan to stop training and arming militants waging war in Kashmir. Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif made
During the past 50 years, India and Pakistan, the world's newest nuclear powers, have fought two wars for Kashmir, India's only state with a Muslim majority. Although many students are aware that there is a conflict in the region, it does not seem to be the topic of Friday or Saturday night discussions.
similar charges toward India in his Independence Day speech Saturday.
Nathan Chang, Olathe sophomore, said that he knew India and Pakistan had been fighting for many years, but that he didn't know what the conflict was about.
"I think it would be interesting, but right now I'm really busy," he said.
Nick Spacek, Lansing junior, said that he had read about the conflict, but that he was not able to follow it on a regular basis because of a lack of coverage in local media sources. He said that he and his friends discussed the news, but that the Kashmiri conflict had not come up.
"There's not so much coverage. at
least in this area." Spacek said.
"That might be why there's so much apathy. It's hard to be interested in something that you haven't heard that much about."
Paul D'Aniert, associate professor of political science, said he didn't think India or Pakistan would want to start another war because a loss would be costly to either country. He said that when countries with poor economies lose wars, governments could and did get overthrown.
"Tensions over Kashmir have existed for over 50 years," D'Anieri said. "The recent escalation in the tensions between the two is due to Pakistan's domestic problems, and them wanting to draw attention away from those problems."
Deborah Gerner, associate professor of political science, said she agreed with D'Anier. But, she said, the spark for this summer's tensions was India's initial nuclear testing last May and Pakistan's subsequent reaction with its own round of tests.
"This latest conflict is like kindergarten politics with nuclear weapons," Gerner said. "It's ip prickling back and forth, and if both sides are not careful, it could escalate into a war that neither side can afford."
She said that most people weren't aware of the severity of the situation, evidenced by the fact that the U.S. military had been put on alert in both countries.
Saira Sufi, Topeka junior, said that she was close to the issue because her father was from Kashmir and because she visited Pakistan often. She said she thought Kashmir should be granted independence because most of its population was Muslim and deserved to make decisions for themselves.
"Both Pakistan and India are stubborn, and each side wants to show off their power to one another," she said. "Pakistan wants Kashmir for religious reasons while India feels that Kashmir is theirs since a religious leader said so."
Pakistani republic would push toward war in India
Associated Press Writer
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Naim Noor puffs on a cigarette and speaks darkly of the possibility that an enraged Pakistani public will push its leaders toward war with India.
"There is real hatred," said Noor, a shopkeeper. "People are very enthusiastic. They want a war."
Experts say that Pakistani politicians are likely to harness that anger and ratchet up support for guerrilla fighters battling the Indian army in the disputed territory of Kashmir, while avoiding a full-scale war that could devastate the two countries.

"It could spin out of control, but my own judgment is that it won't," said William Hopkinson of the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London. "I see more pinpricks ... and provocations, not armored divisions."
But they warn that the situation following a series of confrontations between the world's newest nuclear powers is unstable and emotions are extremely high.
Pakistani newspapers have been filled with romanticized stories of rebels and soldiers, such as Karnal Sher Khan, a Pakistani captain who battled Indian soldiers on the remote mountaintops near Kargil, killing several
before he fell in battle.
Pakistan insists that he died a hero defending his country on home soil. India says he was killed assaulting a position on the Indian side of the border.
Tensions rose further this week when an Indian fighter destroyed a Pakistani naval patrol plane that India says violated its border.
To diffuse the anger and attempt to focus world attention on the Himalayan region, Pakistan is likely to boost its support for Islamic rebels fighting in Kashmir, the only majority Muslim state in India.
"Any minister who stood up and said 'We must seek peace. There is no need for a quarrel,' is likely to be howled down, given the way that tempers have built up," Hopkinson said.
can bring pressure on India to negotiate. India has said there will be no talks until Pakistan stops supporting the rebels.
That anger is putting pressure on a Pakistani government that is already seen as ineffective and unable to deal with crushing domestic problems such as rampant corruption and a faltering economy.
India and Pakistan have fought two wars about Kashmir since the subcontinent was divided in 1947. A sharp increase in guerrilla fighting on the border is likely to heighten international concern about the possibility of a war between the two nuclear powers.
"At the very least it says to people who are all steamed up and want war that we are doing something," Hopkinson said.
Kashmir's chief minister Farooq Abdullah has said more than 1,000 armed militants infiltrated into other areas in Kashmir from Pakistan while the army was busy battling guerrillas in Kargil.
Pakistan hopes that by galvanizing world attention it
The Pakistani army is likely to avoid any major clashes with the far larger Indian army.
"India and Pakistan happen to be two of the poorest countries in the world," said Lt. Gen. Sardar Ali of the Institute for Regional Studies. "If there is war they will become even poorer."
India, like Pakistan, has put its army on alert, but says it wants dialogue and not escalation. The United States and the United Nations are urging restraint.
At the Ayub market, a cluster of rundown shops in central isiamabad, Noor says the costs of the war are of little consequence to many people.
"I don't think things will escalate by design, but I think if India does not exercise restraint, things could go for the worse." Ali said.
Service honors bomb victims
The Associated Press
OMAGH, Northern Ireland — Shedding silent tears about unspeakable horrors, more than 10,000 Protestants and Catholics united in prayer yesterday — one year to the minute after Irish Republican Army dissidents committed Northern Ireland's worst-ever terrorist attack.
Residents filled the streets of central Omagh as far as the eye could see. They observed a minute's silence in solidarity with the 29 dead and the hundreds left broken in body and soul when a car bomb tore apart a crowd of weekend shoppers and tourists at 3:10 p.m. Aug. 15, 1998.
The residents offered prayers in English, Gaelic and Spanish for those slain, among them two infants, fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, three schoolboys from the neighboring Irish Republic and a Spanish teacher and exchange student.
They also prayed that the 1998 peace accord the bombers hoped to destroy might yet be rescued from its current crisis.
Kevin Skelton predicted that if the Protestant Catholic government is formed, heland would be the greatest country in the world.
"But if the trouble just goes on, the. I'm off," he said, meaning he would move from Northern Ireland, "because I will not see my children put through what I went through. There'd be no future here for me."
In Londonderry, 30 miles north of Onamag,
authorities spent yesterday clearing away the
charred debris of vehicles and businesses
destroyed overnight by a Catholic mob.
It was the most serious rioting in Northern Ireland since the Omagh attack, and the latest expression of chronic tensions and hatreds in this divided society.
About 300 people threw about 100 gasoline bombs, hijacked vehicles and looted shops amid anger about a Protestant parade that British authorities permitted to pass through the city Saturday. The violence marked the 30th anniversary of Britain's fateful decision to deploy troops here as peacekeepers.

Bush secures front-runner position
Forbes, Dole finish second, third in poll
The Associated Press
AMES, Iowa — George W. Bush cemented his front-runner status Saturday night with a convincing victory in the Iowa straw poll, passing an early test of political potency that could unravel other Republican presidential campaigns. The Texas governor said he was on the road to winning the nomination.
Steve Forbes and Elizabeth Dole finished second and third in the nonbinding poll. Weak showings by former Vice President Dan Quayle and Lamar Alexander hurt their campaigns.
Alexander, the former Tennessee governor, is almost certain to drop out of the race, sources close to his campaign said. Quavie faces deep troubles as well
A total of nine White House hopefuls poured millions of dollars and spent hundreds of hours in this initial caucus state to test their political strength. Iowans were bused from across the state
to feast on free food and music provided by the vote-hungry candidates. With carnival tents and stale popcorn, the event looked more like a state fair than a political trial.
"This victory today in Iowa put me on the road to winning the nomination of the Republican Party," declared Bush, who was criticized by nearly every one of his rivals in their addresses earlier Saturday.
Forbes, who had hoped for better results, found a measure of solace in the fact that two-thirds of the voters did not vote for Bush.
Though no straw poll winner ever has won the GOP nomination, the contest has helped and hurt any number of candidates ahead of the first real votes of the campaign season, the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary.
Bush received nearly one third of the straw poll vote, or 7,418.
Forbes' second-place finish was solid but somewhat disappointing. Having outspent the entire field, the millionaire conservative had hoped to show that his money and message made him a serious vote-getter. He received 4,921 votes.
American Red Cross, had 3,410 — a solid showing for a first-time presidential candidate trying to expand the party's base to include more young women.
Elizabeth Dole, former president of the
Alexander, with 1,428 votes, and Quayle, with 916 votes and an eighth-place finish, were the night's biggest disappointments.
Quayle has said the straw poll would not end his presidential quest, but his finish behind three other conservative contenders — Gary Bauer, Pat Buchanan and Alan Keyes — could dry up his fund-raising sources.
Alexander's money problems already are severe. Aides said shortly before the vote that he would drop out if he finished lower than fourth; he finished sixth.
After a closed-door meeting, Alexander's staff left the arena. One aide had tears in his eyes. The former Tennessee governor has been running for president virtually non-stop for six years, having lost the 1996 nomination deeper into the primary season.
"We're going to go back to Tennessee tomorrow to consider our options," said Mike Tuffin, Alexander's New Hampshire field director.

Each of the candidates was allotted a

"The power of these Washington elites won't be tamed, bent or broken by a candidate who relies on pollsters and tutors to tell him what he thinks," he said.
Hatch disputes idea he is intolerant
The Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — Sen. Orrin Hatch says that when he told fellow Republicans at their state convention two months ago that they should be proud of their party because it didn't have gays and lesbians, he didn't intend the comment to sound prejudicial.
The Utah lawmaker told The Salt Lake Tribune in a story for Friday editions that he was just pointing out that gays and lesbians, by and large, are very intelligent, highly educated, high-earning people, who support mainly Democrats.
Hatch said he resented any implication that he was intolerant.
"You can sum it up in one sentence: that Orrin Hatch is tolerant of all people and that he doesn't try to tell people how to live unless they ask him," said Hatch, who is a GOP presidential candidate.
Hatch has drawn fire from gay rights groups in the past for what they considered insensitive statements.
At the Utah Republican State Convention in June, Hatch offered a David Letterman-style list of why Utah Republicans should be proud of their party, including: "We don't have the gays and lesbians with
us." In 1988, he called the Democratic Party the party of homosexuals and abortion.
While he is tolerant of all people, he does believe that homosexuality is contrary to the Bible, he said.
"It's a religious belief to me that homosexuality flies in the face of biblical teachings," he said.
Hatch said that is different from the situation of blacks and other ethnic minorities.
"People of color can't do anything about their color," Hatch said. "But I do believe gay people have a choice to live within the legal rules or not."
"That's why we have civil-rights laws to protect African Americans from discrimination," he said.
Jeanetta Williams, president of the NAACP Salt Lake branch, said Hatch's statements comparing gays and blacks were a slap in the face.
To demonstrate his tolerance, Hatch cited his compromises with Democrats on federal legislation affecting AIDS and hate crimes, his help in fund raising to combat pediatric AIDS.
Last month, however, Hatch introduced a measure that would not include gays as a protected group under the hate crimes law.
Students, staff set to return to Columbine
LITTLETON, Colo. — With armed guards at the entrance and dozens of police officers patrolling the neighborhood, students will return to Columbine High School for classes today for the first time since last spring's deadly rampage.
Before classes begin, Principal Frank DeAngeli will lead the students, teachers and staff in a "take back the school" rally and will raise a U.S. flag that has been at half-staff since the April 20 attack.
Joshua Lapp, 16, who witnessed several of the killings, said he and others were nervous about returning, but he especially dreaded facing the mob of cameras and reporters expected at the school.
Parents and alumni plan to shield students and teachers from the media attention by forming a human barrier along a path between a secured parking lot and the school.
Bullet and shrapnel holes have been plastered and painted over. There's a new wall blocking the entrance to the second-floor library, where most of the victims died.
Security has been tightened. All students must wear identification badges.
But the nearly 2,000 students will not have to pass through metal detectors or let anyone check backpacks.
"We heard shortly after the tragedy and from lots of people — students, staff, parents — that they didn't want their school to be turned into a fortress," said school district representative Rick Kaufman.
Two mental health counselors will join the regular staff of six counselors, in case the return is emotionally jarring for any student or teacher. There also will be a safe room in the school for anyone who needs special attention during the first week of class.

Chinese approach U.S.experts
Officials recommending military action against equality-seeking Taiwan
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Chinese officials have been sounding out U.S.-China specialists for their opinion on possible Chinese military action against Taiwan following Taiwanese assertions that Beijing and Taipei should be treated as equals.
Douglas Paal, president of the Washington-based Asia Pacific Policy Center, said he had been visited separately by Chinese military, government and academic representatives. He described the meetings as much more intense than interviews that he regularly has with them.
He said they talked about the possibility of capturing small, outlying Taiwanese islands, then appeared to back away from that option as too ambitious. They also raised the possibility of attacking ships.
At another point, Paal said the Chinese approaches to U.S. experts might be part of psychological warfare or just saber rattling, or an attempt to keep the United States busy while it attacks Taiwan.
James Mulvenon, a Chinese army expert at the Rand research organization, said he also was approached by Chinese emissaries.
"They walk in with the same message."
"The goal for China would be to cause maximum impact in Taiwan without bringing in the United States," he said.
Mulvenon told The Washington Post. "We're going to do something. We can't tell you what, but we're going to do something.
He said any military action against Taiwan would have a ruinous impact on China's efforts to build relations with the outside world, including the United States and European countries.
Meanwhile, an administration representative denied news accounts that China warned the Clinton administration about possible military action against Taiwan.
"We have not received any threats or ultimatums from the Chinese," said National Security Council representative David Leavy at the White House.
The Post said the White House thought it's unlikely that Beijing would launch any military action before October to avoid spoiling a meeting next month between Clinton and Chinese President Jiang Zemin in New Zealand.
White House officials said military action could range from striking Taiwan to seizing an unpopulated island belonging to Taiwan.
"I don't think they'll do it soon, but I can't say they won't do it at all," said a senior administrator.
The newspapers said the warnings had come from lower-ranking Chinese officials and not from China's top leaders. The lower-level officials may have been gauging how the United States might respond, or may have hoped the Clinton administration would urge Taiwan to
"Both sides recognize the danger in the situation. Our policy is the same—it's one China."
David Leavy
back down, the reports said.
"Obviously we're watching the situation closely, and we have been in touch with both sides on a number of occasions over the last several weeks," Leavy said. "Both sides recognize the danger in the situation. Our policy is the same — it's one China."
National Security Council representative
back down, the reports said.
For more than a week, military aircraft from China and Taiwan have been flying over the 100-mile-wide straits separating Taiwan and the mainland. The opposing planes have not tangled, but Leavy said the United States is urging both sides to back off.
China has considered Taiwan a rogue province for 50 years, since Nationalist forces retreated to the island in defeat after battling Communist forces on the mainland. China has refused to renounce violence to force Taiwan back under full mainland control.
"These are how accidents happen, and we've made that clear." Leavy said.
The situation has grown more tense since Taiwan's recent assertions that it should be treated as China's equal.
War of words intensifies between Serbian leaders
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia — Ratcheting up the rhetoric, a senior government official said yesterday that opposition's leaders are "terrorists" and accused them of planning to kill officials loyal to Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic.
The remarks by Mirko Marjanovic, the prime minister of Serbia and a close aide to Milosevic, were directed against the Alliance for Change, which is leading demonstrations calling for Milosevic to step down. Serbia is Yugoslavia's main republic.
The United States favors eventual reunification so long as it is carried out by peaceful means.
The Associated Press
In a statement, Marjanovic said opposition leaders want to physically liquidate and kill those who think differently. He also accused opposition leaders of collaborating with NATO, which waged a 78-day bombing campaign to force Milosevic to accept a peace plan for Kosovo.
"So we stand informed that the Alliance is a terrorist organization." Mirko Marjanovic Serbian prime minister
Marjanovic cited a speech at an anti-Milosevic rally Thursday, in which Alliance activist Vesna Pesic warned that the Yugoslav people may use the Romanian method, if the president refuses to step down. The remark referred to the bloody 1989 uprising in which Romanian dictator Nicolae Causescu was executed.
"So we stand informed that the Alliance is a terrorist organization," Marjanovic said.
Zoran Zivkovic, a member of the Democratic party, said at a protest yesterday that the opposition will give Milosevic a deadline to resign. If he refuses, Zivkovic said: "We will take the matter in our hands
A statement by the Democratic Party, which is part of the Alliance, said Marjanovic certainly knows what terrorism is because he has terrorized Serbian people for eight years while premier.
and make him do that by force, by people's will.
The rally in Trstenik, about 90 miles southeast of Belgrade, was attended by about 1,000 supporters. Alliance leaders also spoke in nearby Krusevac to an enthusiastic crowd of several thousand people.
With the backing of the influential Serbian Orthodox Church, the Alliance plans a huge central protest in the capital Belgrade on Thursday.
The Aug. 19 rally was called a shameful kissing up to President Clinton, whose birthday is that day, claimed Zivorad Djordjevic, chief editor of the state-run Borba daily and a Milosevic ally.
The opposition leaders want to prove their utmost loyalty to Clinton, Djordjevic wrote in a commentary for Monday's edition.
Several opposition leaders rejected the notion that there was a connection with Clinton's birthday.
The former commander of the Yugoslav Army, who now supports the opposition, said there was no chance Milosevic could successfully use federal troops to crack down on political opponents.
Gen. Momcilo Perisic, in an interview aired late Saturday on Belgrade's Studio B Television, was commenting on recent threats by current Army commanders. Perisic said a majority of officers and soldiers would refuse to follow orders to attack opposition members.
Military says Iraqi targets hit in no-fly zones
The Associated Press
BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S. warplanes attacked several sites in Iraq yesterday, wounding three people and destroying a mosque, the Iraqi armed forces said.
The U.S. military confirmed the strikes in the so-called no-fly zones, saying U.S. warplanes bombed an Iraqi radar site in the north in response to anti-aircraft fire.
The official Iraqi News Agency quoted the Iraqi military as saying one mosque was destroyed and three people injured in the attacks by nine evil ravens over the provinces of Dohuk, Irbil and Mosul.
The U.S. Air Force reported that F-15s dropped guided munitions on a radar site some 287 miles north of Baghdad, the German-based U.S. European Command said in a statement.
It said equipment at the radar facility was used to gather information and, in turn, to target planes. All the planes returned safely, the statement added.
In the south, a U.S. Air Force F-16, a U.S. Navy F-14 and a British GR-1 "Tornado" aircraft attacked four military targets in three locations, said a statement from the U.S. Central Command at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida.
The planes struck a military communications site near Al Axnarah, a military radar site near Ash Shuaybah and a communications site and radar site in the vicinity of Tallil, the statement said. All the planes returned safely, the statement said.
The no-fly zones were established to protect Iraq's Kurdish and Shiite Muslim minorities. Iraq does not recognize the zones and has challenged the allied planes patrolling them since Dec. 28.

Student protests delay the beginning of fall semester
The Associated Press
MEXICO CITY — Silence looms over the sprawling and normally bustling main campus of Latin America's largest university, four months after a student-led strike brought classes to a halt.
Graffiti covers the walls and murals mocking school officials adorn its corridors. A university police car is parked outside one classroom building, its normal blue-and-white exterior covered in psychedelic motifs.
The calm scene stands in stark contrast to the off-campus clashes with Mexico City police as students protesting tuition hikes at National Autonomous University, or UNAM, try to prevent entering freshmen from registering.
The fall semester was to begin Monday, but has been delayed indefinitely for most students.
"This is a decisive moment because if the conflict between students and officials goes on, it will have disastrous consequences for the UNAM, for students and professors," Maria Stoopen, professor of literature, said.
In recent weeks, conflict has been more common than negotiation with little hope for an immediate resolution. In the most recent confrontation, 150 riot police were called out Friday after 50 striking students
"We are in agreement with the students that the university is in need of an overhaul. But we disagree on the means to reach that end."
Cristina Gomez National Autonomous University professor of history
UNAM officials said 195,000 of the expected 268,000 students had been able to register for the fall semester. But on Friday they announced that only 45,000 students — mostly those who use off-campus facilities — would begin the semester on time.
formed a human chain to block a registration center north of the city. No violence was reported.
Students have barricaded the campus, and it is unlikely they will be forcibly dislodged, in part because of history. One of the darkest moments in Mexico's recent past came when soldiers fired on anti-government student protesters in 1968, killing an estimated 300 people.
dent Francisco Barnes de Castro to raise tuition for the first time in more than 50 years from a symbolic 2 cents to $160 a year.
The present strike began April 20 to protest a decision by university Presi-
The Mexican constitution guarantees free public education to all, but UNAM officials argue that doesn't include higher education.
"We are in agreement with the students that the university is in need of an overhaul," Cristina Gomez, professor of history, said. "But we disagree on the means to reach that end."
As the strike dragged on, Barnes agreed to forget about the tuition increase. But by then the students were fired up and pressed other demands, such as greater student participation in running the school.
The spring semester was suspended, and with negotiations stalled on the students' new demands, professors have begun to take the initiative to end the strike.
Teachers and students sought a basic agreement Thursday that would give students and professors a greater say in the university's academic policies. They failed to strike a deal.
Though some students are fed up with the strike, sophomore Yaokoa Chavez, a Latin American Studies major, said the strikers were resolute in their demands.
"We are wom out, tense and tired — but not discouraged," he said
Leftist students fight to unify
Riot police block march of South Korean students to North Korean border
The Associated Press
SEOUL, South Korea — Armed with tear gas launchers and water cannons, South Korean riot police blocked thousands of leftist students from marching to the border with North Korea yesterday to promote national unification.
After a rally at Seoul National University, several hundred students confronted 8,000 riot police at the school's main gate at nightfall. About 200 students lay on the pavement, shouting: "Let's accomplish unification!"
The students were among about 5,000 leftists who gathered at the university demanding unification of the rival Koreas. The rally was part of activities marking the 54th anniversary of Korea's liberation from Japan's colonial rule in 1945.
Several students were seen hurling fist-sized rocks at police, who did not respond with their tear gas and water cannons. No serious clashes were reported.
Authorities deployed 13,000 police around the school and along a highway leading to the border, 55 miles away, as the leftists had planned to attend a North Korea-sponsored rally there.
The Seoul rally was one of the largest in recent years. Government officials expressed concern that the leftist student movement, which has waned significantly in recent years, may gather momentum.
Earlier, the students held a boisterous campus rally, during which they demanded the withdrawal of 37,000 U.S. troops in South Korea, arguing their presence hinders unification.
In a separate government-sanctioned pro-unification event, 60,000 South Koreans formed a "human unification belt," a 30-mile chain of people holding
hands along a highway from Seoul to the gateway to the border.
At the border village of Panmunjom, several hundred North Koreans had a rally calling for unifying the two Koreas under a system that would leave their different systems intact, the North's official Korean Central News Agency said.
The border rally, an annual event for the past decade or so, was the highlight of a North Korean celebration of the Aug. 15 Korean Independence Day.
South Korea bars its citizens from participating in the rally, which it regards as anti-Seoul propaganda. Past efforts by students to attend it touched off violent clashes with police.
The Korean peninsula was partitioned into the communist North and the capitalist South in 1945 with Japan's defeat in World War II. The North and the South are still technically at war, having signed no peace treaty at the end of the 1950-1953 Korean War.
People of the two Koreas cannot visit the other side without government approval, which is rarely given.
South Korea celebrated the holiday by calling for peace and freeing, among others, 56 political prisoners, including seven North Korean spies.
The 56 were among 1,742 convicts set free under a sweeping presidential amnesty. The amnesty also affected 1,115 others who were convicted earlier but have been free on parole. They had their civil rights restored or their criminal records erased.
In a nationally televised Independence Day speech, President Kim Dae-jung urged North Korea to accept talks to discuss peace.
He denounced North Korea for seeking to deal directly with the United States, while avoiding official dialogue with South Korea. North Korea shuns official dialogue with the Seoul government, which it regards as a U.S. puppet.
Despite North Korea's intransigent and hostile stance, the South Korean leader said he will continue to push his policy of engagement with the North's Stalinist regime.
Opponents criticize Kim's so-called sunshine policy as coddling North Korea.

Joslyn said tha
The most recent Kennedy tragedy swept the nation this July, but members of older generations felt more tied to the story than KU students who were not alive during President John F. Kennedy's assassination.
John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and her sister Lauren Lesten died on July 16 when the small airplane Kennedy was flying crashed in the ocean near Martha's Vineyard, Mass.
Kennedy's father, John F. Kennedy, was assassinated in 1963. His uncle Robert Kennedy was assassinated in 1968.
Mark Joslyn, assistant professor of political science, said he thought the tragedy was more important to older generations of Americans, like the baby boomers, who remembered John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy.
"That's why we saw a lot of it on the news." he said.
Younger Americans don't have the same ties to the Kennedy family, he said.
Joslyn said that for older Americans, the Kennedy family represented an idyllic American vision.
"If we had a king and queen, it would be the president and his wife." Joslyn said about John F. Kennedy.
He added that Americans identified with the Kennedys, and in some ways Americans saw their ambitions as a nation manifested in the Kennedy family.
"The built-up hopes and ambitions died with Kennedy," he said.
Kelly Jo Karnes, assistant director for greek programs, said that she was a huge Kennedy fan.
"I love reading about the history of it, and I've been to Dallas," she said. "I stayed glued to the TV a lot, hoping they would find him."
Marcela Granados, San Jose, Costa Rica junior, said that she was not sad at first.
"When I saw all the stuff on TV over and over again, and they showed the pictures and played the music, it made me sad," she said. "The media
made me sad."
Purushothaman, Lawrence graduate student, said that John F. Kennedy Jr. was too young to die.
Shanmuga
Toward the end of July, Purushothaman lost interest.
"It was too much," he said. "They just kept talking about it."
Kevin Fussell, Scott City senior, said that he was moved by the tragedy.
"I was saddened for the family and the nation," he said.
Fussell said he liked the initial media coverage.
Even though she stayed glued to the TV until the end, Karnes said that she didn't approve of all the media coverage.
"I think they were intrusive of the family," she said. "They don't need to spy on the family."
Karnes added that she agreed with the family's decision not to make the memorial service public.
"They should be able to grieve in private like anyone else," she said.

Wife's lawyers to question Gingrich's 'other woman'
The Associated Press
MARIETTA, Ga. — In a move that may lead to an embarrassing court fight for Newt Gingrich, divorce lawyers for his estranged wife have won permission to
question a woman with whom the former House speaker has been romantically linked.
The 56-year-old former Georgia congressman, who espoused family values during his campaigns, reportedly has been seeing Callista Bisek, 33, an aide to the House Agriculture Committee.
COLUMBIA
Both The Daily News of New York and The New York Post quoted
Gingrich: reportedly has been seen with an aide to the House Agriculture Committee
sources in Friday's editions who said the pair has been spotted together often in Washington.
Cobb County Superior Court Judge Dorothy Robinson signed an order Thursday that allows attorneys for Marianne Gingrich to take a videotaped deposition from Bisek in Arlington, Va., where she lives.
No date for the deposition has been set and Gingrich's lawyer, John C. Mayou, declined to say what questions he planned to ask.
"I can tell you that she thought that they had a very sound marriage, right up until this unexpected demand for divorce." Mayuea said Friday. "And I can also tell
you that Marianne is prepared to thoroughly investigate Gingrich's personal life as well as his business activities."
Mayue said it's too early to say what financial settlement Gingrich might seek from the former speaker.
Gingrich separated from his wife May 10 and filed for a divorce, July 29.
His attorney, Randolph Evans, said he hadn't seen the judge's order and could not comment on the reports that Gingrich had been seeing Bisek before separating from his wife.
"I don't get into all of that because it just doesn't serve any useful purpose," he said.
Gingrich's personal spokesman, Mike Shields, declined comment. Bisek could not be reached for comment. A message left at her home Friday night was not returned.
The Gingriches were married Aug. 8, 1981. Reports of trouble between the two surfaced in 1989, when the couple told The Washington Post they didn't know if their marriage would last.
It is the second failed marriage for Gingrich, who married his former high school geometry teacher, Jackie Battley, when he was 18. They had two daughters during their 19-year marriage.
The architect of the Republican revolution in the House, Gingrich served as speaker from 1995 until the end of last year, when he gave up his seat in Congress after the Republicans' disappointing showing in the November election.
In 1994, Gingrich was asked about reports that he'd had extramarital affairs while running for Congress on a family values platform in 1978.

Detroit Rock City strikes a chord for metal heads, sour note for others
By Melody Ard Special sections editor
You don't have to be a Kiss fan to enjoy Detroit Rock City. But it helps.
Set in 1978, the movie by director Adam Rikin is a musical feast for fans of '70s and '80s heavy metal and includes songs from Kiss as well as AC/DC and Stivx.
Theater-going Kiss fans also are treated to cameo appearances by band members Paul Stanley, Ace Frenley, Peter Criss and Gene Simmons, who was also a co-po
who was also a co-producer.
In spite of the Kiss-craziness, anyone who has ever camped out or participated in a humiliating or bizarre radio station contest to win tickets to see their favorite band — whether that band was Kiss, Motley Crew or even New Kids on the Block — can relate to the plight of four high school boys desperate to see a Kiss concert in Detroit.
Film facts
Rating: R
Grade: B-
Where: Plaza 6, 2339 Iowa St.
Running time: 1 hour 35 minutes.
The friends, Hawk (Edward Furlong), Lex (Guisseppe Andrews), Trip (James De Bello) and Jam (Sam Huntington), purchased their tickets and arranged for transportation to Detroit on the train. However, when their plan was discovered by Jam's mother, the boys' dreams go up in smoke when she uses the coveted tickets as a cigarette lighter.
In spite of the setback, the enterprising students win four tickets in a radio contest and set
Tickletless and penniless, they set out separately for a chance to see the concert. Each has an equally strange and disastrous experience, including losing a stripping contest and getting caught in a robbery, but each comes away with a kiss — though not exactly the kind for which he was originally hoping. In spite of the experiences the boys find themselves in, all but one of the characters exhibits exactly the same personality he presented in the opening minutes of the movie.
Hawk is the tough-guy. Lex is the follower. Trip is the marijuana-provider and the brains behind most of the group's schemes.
Jam is the only character who seems affected by the experiences of the trip to Detroit. Ironically, his transformation from a boy intimidated by his overbearing mother to an independent
In the movie's only serious scene, Jam confronts his mother for her own hypocrisy. His mother, who tells Jam she is going to a church meeting actually goes to Detroit to protest the concert with the group Mothers Against The Music Of Kiss. Jam makes an example of her in front of the crowd and leaves her to join his friends.
Overall, the movie isn't thought provoking and is relatively predictable but seems to grab audiences with an abundance of slapstick comedy, since the dialogue itself is not particularly funny.
Fortunately, creators kept the movie under two hours, making it just long enough to tell the story but just short enough to keep the audience from getting bored.
thinker willing to stand up for his beliefs has very little to do with Kiss.
If you're not a fan of heavy metal or physical comedy, you would probably be happier spending your movie dollars elsewhere.
Fast-paced Lola pushes cinematic boundaries
By Brendan Walsh Kansan movie critic
The young and beautiful Lola (Franka Potente) receives a frantic call from her boyfriend, Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu). He's just batched a major criminal act, resulting in a missing 100,000 marks that he must replace in 20 minutes, lest he face the wrath of his boss. Apparently somewhat dependent, definitely dumb-witted, he calls Lola looking for someone to bail him out of this mess. Lola runs to his rescue.
Stylish, stimulating and fast-paced, the German film Run Lola Run is perfect for those with short attention spans. Vibrant, attention-grabbing visuals make up for a relatively empty plot, giving viewers an intense, if not all together complete, film-going experience.
Wearing lime green pants, shrouded in flaming-red hair, blessed with more gusto than your average female lead, Lola bolts through Berlin with a vague notion of somehow gathering up a great sum of money and delivering it to Manni on deadline. Lola has split-second meetings with various personalities along the way. After each encounter, director Tom Tykwer shows that person's future through a series of snapshots that flash in succession to tell a life story. In this creative film, these vignettes are among its brightest moments.
Dramatic tension continues to rise at breakneck speed when Lola can't find a way to come up with the money. She finally dashes off to stop Mani before

he does something irrational but is too late. Disaster strikes and the adventure is finished.
But hey, only 30 minutes of the film have gone by, and the movie ticket cost $5.50. Not to worry, Tykwer hits rewind and Lola gets another go at things. It's Sliding Doors meets Trainspotting.
Using the same basic plot several times made it easier for Tykwer to concentrate on the cinematic aspects of his film. Ambitious, innovative, but never cloying camera work makes each of Lola's runs entertaining. Bits of animation are mixed in with the real footage, giving an everything-goes aura to a movie that's already pushing boundaries.
The only real mistake is the pretentious opening scene. A crowd of anonymous people shuffles in such a way as to form the word "Lola," while a voice-over asks questions like "What is man's purpose?" and "What is the nature of humanity?" What? Looking to this movie for those answers would be like watching Spies Like Us for insights on the cold war.
That flaw aside, expect an entertaining, intense, movie-going experience. Don't be afraid of the subtitles. They can be a little distracting, but it's worth it in the end.

Kansas football sets bowl game as goal
Allen aims high for 1999 season
By Mike Miller
by Mike Miner
sportwriter@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
This is the year.
At least that's what Kansas football coach Terry Allen wants it to be.
"This is the year when we have to have success in the program," he said.
"We think we are a better football team than we have been the last two years. We want to be a bowl football team."
It's a reasonable goal for a team that has not been to a bowl game since the Aloha Bowl in 1995. But is it possible?
"It's realistic going into this season," Allen said. But any schedule that includes trips to play Notre Dame, Colorado, Kansas State and Texas A&M makes things tougher on a team that wants to play in December or January. Throw in a home game against Nebraska and there's little room for error.
"Much has been made about our schedule," he said. "It's tough, but
KANSAS QUICK FACTS
1998 Record: 4-7
Coach: Terry Allen
- Key Losses: OL Dan Dercher and Justin Glasaso
Key Returnees: C Chris Enneking, G Dameon Hunt, QB Zac Wegner, DL Dion Johnson
Outlook: Kansas has a shot at a bowl game this year if they bring their game to the next level.
Defending against the rush is the key to success this year.
if it comes down to it, I want to be playing for a bowl game at the end of the season."
To be a team with a winning record, much less a bowl team, the Jayhawks have to solve problems in three critical areas—the quarterback position, the offensive line and being able to stop the run or defense.
"Offensively we're going to be as good as our quarterback is going to be," Allen said.
"Can our offensive line play and can we stop the run? I don't know yet. But we better be able to stop the run."
At quarterback, Allen says incumbent senior quarterback Zac Wegner is the starter for now, but
will be pushed by junior college transfer Dylen (pronounced DIELen) Smith. He took more snaps than Wegner in the first scrimmage last Wednesday and had a little bit better day, completing a higher percentage of passes and throwing for more yards.
If Smith is the answer to the team's problems, Wegner said he could deal with that.
"I've learned to deal with all of it," Wegner said. "I don't see how things can get any harder."
Especially when it comes to the team aspect.
"My one wish is for this team to go to a bowl game," Wegner said. "I want the freshmen to experience the same thing I did as a freshman. Go to the Aloha Bowl was one of the best things I've ever been through."
It might be tough if he suffers another concussion this season.
Wegner's junior year ended with a brutal hit during the K-State game. Much of his spring semester was spent undergoing tests to determine if he was physically able to play.
The job of protecting him falls to an offensive line that remains a worry for Allen.

Women's soccer ready to bid for playoff berth

Kansan sportswriter
After a hard off season of workouts, the Kansas women's soccer team was ready to get down to business as fall practice began last week.
"I think they're real positive," Coach Mark Francis said. "Most of them have come in pretty fit. They've followed the program, if not the whole way at least part of the way, so they're fit."
Senior midfielder Cynthia Dahle also was pleased with her teammates' work ethic.
"The returning players have worked our butts off this summer so we've been able to come in and set the pace right away for the newcomers," Dahle said. "It's been really intense and we want to win."
The team enters this season with a newfound confidence as well, which has Francis eager to get started.
"They're willing to learn," Francis said. "I think the success we had in the spring made them realize we can actually win some games. They seem willing to listen and buy into what we're doing, which is good."
Francis has been pleased with the overall effort of his team as it prepares to seek their first-ever Big 12 Conference tournament berth.
"They seem ready to do whatever it takes," Francis said. "The intensity level has been really good, and I told them we need to maintain that the whole time." Debby ground.
Dahle agreed.
"I think we need to keep working hard like we have been," Dahle said.

Soccer recruits bring both youth and experience to field

In his first recruiting class at Kansas, Coach Mark Francis has built a formidable group. Individually, each player has established their own impressive list of accomplishments, but put them together and they rank as the 24th-best recruiting class nationally according to Soccer Buzz.
Eight fresh faces donned Kansas jerseys for the first time Wednesday as the women's soccer team kicked off fall practice.
This much talent, matched with their ability to catch on fast, has Francis anxious to get the season underway.
"The young guys have done well," Francis said. "You see that even on the second day they already look more comfortable than they did the first day."
Like Valento, her freshman teammates are mostly defensive minded. Bridget Goyen and Nikki Wahle both play defense
Freshman defender Brianna Valento agreed.
agreed.
"I feel like I'm fitting in," Valento said.
"It's still going to take a little time, but overall it's been fun."
while Mervi Kuittinen and Lindsay Hunting are solid midfielders.
"The freshmen have all done well so far," Francis said. "There's positions up for grabs. There's some versatility with these guys that's going to enable them to get some playing time. We'll have to wait and see who's going to jump out."
Francis has been pleased with his freshmen and sees many opportunities for them to play this season.
"It's hard, but it's what I expected coming into a Division-I program," Valento said. "The speed of play is a lot faster. These girls are more experienced and they know a lot more about the game."
Although the adjustment to the college game has gone pretty smoothly it hasn't all been easy for the freshmen.
Senior Laura Rhode is utilizing her final year of eligibility to play backup goalkeeper after completing her volleyball career for Kansas.
Three upperclassmen round out the class and each is expected to make an impact for the Javhaws.
"She's a real competitor, doesn't like to lose, so I think she's going to bring that to us," Francis said. "It always helps to have

somebody else who's been around the Division-I college atmosphere and already experienced that, to bring that level of competition to our group."
Two junior transfers, Emma Di Cesare and Hilla Rantala, both of whom followed Francis from the University of South Alabama, round out the class.
Di Cesare is a versatile player who can play either midfield or defense and is expected to contribute right away.
"Emma will make an impact, whether we put her in midfield or in the back because she has experience and she's definitely a player who can play at this level." Francis said.
Francis has assembled a talented bunch, but Rantala is the cream of the crop from

("Rantala's transfer to Kansas") is huge for us to get somebody that has her experience, both in college and also nationally." Francis said. "She's played in two under-20 world championships. You can't put a price on that kind of experience."
"I don't have any pressure on me," Rantala said. "I really want to go to the conference tournament. As for personal goals, I don't have any. I just want to do my best for the team."
Rantala will have the spotlight on her this season and be relied on to provide a powerful offense for the Jayhawks, but she doesn't feel pressured to perform.

Soccer team has beauty, more talent
Without a doubt, the ladies stole the show this summer.
Sure, there were other great sports stories: Lance Armstrong's triumph at the Tour de France after overcoming testicular cancer; Jean Van De Velde's tragic-comic collapse at the final hole of the British Open.
This team had it all—talent, determination, charisma and enthusiasm. They captured the hearts and imaginations of America, especially its young women; they set attendance records for women's sporting events at each stop
But those were just footnotes compared with the frenzy of attention and excitement surrounding the U.S. women's soccer team. Mia Hamm, Julie Foudy, Brandi Chastain and company were as ubiquitous as the heat this summer.

They received so much ink that you would think they
spent the summer as interns at the White House. They did, in fact, make it to the White House, but the only special favor they had to perform was a World Cup victory.
The unprecedented attention lavished upon these women and the nature of much of the fanfare brought a few questions to mind.
One recurring theme with respect to the women was the physical beauty of the players. David Letterman referred to the team as "soccer mamas" and "babe city." Chastain's removal of her jersey (revealing her sports bra) after her Cup-winning penalty kick made even more waves than when she posed nude in Gear Magazine (covered only by a strategically placed soccer ball).
Was there perhaps too much attention focused on the looks of these women? Does this kind of attention detract from these ladies' status as world-class athletes? Is this more evidence of the sexism that pervades our culture?

Kansas Relays set for 2000
The Kansas Relays will return in 2000, following a two-year hiatus because of renovations to Memorial Stadium.
The Relays were first run in 1923, and next year will mark the 73rd running.
They are are scheduled for April 19-22. The track at Memorial Stadium is scheduled for a Rekortan resurfacing, beginning in early October.
Bob Frederick, athletics director, said that he was pleased with the return of one of the richest traditions of KU sports.
"The Kansas Relays represents an important part of the history and tradition of the University of Kansas," he said. "It has always been our intention to bring it back."
The resurfacing project will take place during a three-week period in October. During that time, the Kansas football team will be on the road with games at Kansas State and Texas A&M.
KU officials said that the resurfacing project will cost $178,000 and the money will come from athletics department funds.

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 7.
The glimmer of a new idea is beginning to arise.
Test it before you give it too much energy. Many of your old ideas have proven to be flawed. There is much you can be proud of as you look back on the past. Draw confidence from this as you allow the less inspiring experiences to promote caution. This weekend you can do something very clever.
Taurus: Today is a 9.
The diamond in the sky set change in motion, but not to the full extent of its influence. More changes may come. What you thought of as a journey was the start of a longer expedition. On all methods of long haul transportation, the seats tend to be more comfortable and the ride smoother. Settle down for an enjoyable ride this weekend.
Gemini: Today is a 5.
It is easy to be critical of others and judge yourself harshly. When remembering old mistakes, you won der if you may be on the way to making another. It is not easy to be fair. Most of us are either too full of arrogance or too keen to apologise. Keep away from both extremes this weekend. All will be fine if you balance your thoughts and ideas.
Cancer: Today is a 6.
What are you doing this weekend? How does that answer compare with your ideals? Are you making yourself feel unhappy because your life does not measure up? Give energy to something real, perma nent and something you know. You'll find you like what you're doing, where you are and who you are with!
Leo: Today is a 9.
Here comes a lovely weekend. Everything is settling back into shape. You will experience familiar sensations again, but not in the same way. They have more meaning and more magic attached to them now. Appreciate things within your world that are special.
Virgo: Today is a 5.
Climb higher. The view is more inspiring. When you stand at the foot of a mountain, more effort is required to get to the top. When you climb, you discover you can rest on the way. Finally, you get to a place where everything looks different. That's where you need to be (and can get) this weekend.
Scorpio: Today is a 9.
Sagittarius: Today is a 7.
Libra: Today is a 4.
You are hoping for an education this weekend. You want to inspire a new level of understanding. There is rhyme and reason for a situation that has you foxed. What you have to learn is how to live with a paradox rather than wrestle with resolving it.
们
Capricorn: Today is a 4.
What you need is support and understanding, but what you are getting is confusion. You can't get the help you need until you understand why you need it. You can change if you are willing to alter your approach. There is potential for profit in this courageous shift.
You can't ballet dance in combat boots. If you try, you're going to find yourself looking foolish. There is a clever way to rearrange factors you dislike. Conflict will not help you. Wit and wisdom, along with your smart intuition, will work wonders.
?
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
C
P
Pisces: Today is a 8.
Believe in yourself, what you have to offer, and what you can do if you try. Believe that stories have happy endings. A story is unfolding that could have a sweet or undesirable outcome. What will tip the balance? Less fatalism on your part. Being strong, self contained serious and self disciplined will help enormously.
If you are tired of hanging your head against a wall, invest in a crash helmet. This weekend you want more direction. Something within you is reluctant. The irony is that as soon as you stop chasing what you seek, you'll find that it comes a little nearer and invites you to go after it once more.
LION
The more you think about what's going on, the less you understand. That syndrome will continue unless you stop employing your intellect and pay more attention to your intuition. It can help you see past ideas that don't add up. The actual solution is laughably simple.

Garner, Bando lose jobs don't make excuses
MILWAUKEE — Manager Phil Garner and general manager Sal Bando did their best to make winners out of the small-market, small-wallet Milwaukee Brewers.
They failed, and both were removed from their jobs Thursday during their seventh straight losing season. The Brewers fired Garner and reassigned Bando within the organization.
If the frustrations of playing the game at a financial disadvantage had begun to wear on them, neither Garner nor Bando showed it when they left their jobs. Garner called the firing justified, and Bando said that he asked team president

Astacio surrendered to authorities in Arapahoe County on Thursday. Police said they received a 911 call late Wednesday night from a woman who said her estranged husband had been arguing with her and hit her in the face before leaving the house.
The suspect later was identified as Astacio.

Returnees, new players form core
Continued from page 1B
Team chemistry also will be a key to their success. Currently, unity is running high for this team.
"We worked really hard in the spring. Coach Francis came in expecting a better work ethic than we've had in the past, and we need to carry that into the fall."
"I feel like we're coming together as a team more than we have in the past," Dahle said. "I really like Coach Francis and what he's doing with the team. It's going to be a total team effort this year, and I'm excited to be a leader of this team."
In addition to Dahle, the team will look to seniors Melissa Downing, Lindsey Loeffler and Betsy Pollard to guide it.
"In terms of leadership, we'll look to our seniors for sure," Francis said. "They're the older ones in the group, and they've been here the whole time."
Francis said several positions were up in the air right now because of many new faces in camp, but there were returnees whom he believed would play a significant role for the Jayhawks, most notably Pollard in the goal.
"Betsy's getting a chance to play this year, and I think she's capable of doing it." Francis said. "We're confident in her ability. Hopefully she can step up to the challenge, which I know she can."
Pollard, who has seen action in only four games over the last three years, received the starting nod from Francis following the departure of Katie Garrity. Francis praised Pollard's work in practice so far and said he had full confidence in his keeper.
Offensively the Jayhawks will look to junior Hilla Rantala, a transfer from South Alabama, as well as returning juniors Johanna Larsson, Lindsey Horner, Colleen Colvin and sophomore Melanie Schroeder.
Other key returnees will be juniors Meghann Haven and Kylie Watts, Loeffler, and sophomore Natalie Hoogveld.
After finishing 5-13-1 last fall, the dayhawks look to ride the momentum of a 6-0-1 spring season, and with the conference tournament field expanded to eight teams, their main goal is in reach.
Just ask Dahle.
"My expectations—I want to go to the tournament!" Dahle said.

Offensive line critical to success
Continued from page 1B
The loss of three starters forced the Jayhawks to shuffle their line around a bit in order to find the best player at each position.
Senior center Chris Enneking will return to anchor the line, while senior guard Dameon Hunt is the other returning lineman. The remaining holes will be filled by junior Chuck Jarvis, junior Justin Hartwig and junior John Oddonetto. Oddonetto, a former NJCAA All-American, points to the season opening game at Notre Dame as the obvious testing ground for the line.
"But we can't put all our hopes on that first game," he said. "We can't lose faith if we get beat bad, but it'll be the place where we see what we've got."
The Notre Dame game also will test the other critical aspect of this year's team — the run defense. Kansas ranked dead last in the Big 12 Conference and 107th overall in NCAA Division I A against the run. Things can only get better if the linebackers perform the way Allen hopes.
Tomax, a junior who sat out last season because of academic problems, mirrored his coach's statements.
"The thing we're excited about is that we have four new linebackers," he said. "The depth and ability that we have is better than a year ago, and Dariss Lomax can be our best defensive football player."
"I think we're a better unit, tighter and faster," he said. "The speed we have as a unit is better and the camaraderie is better," he said.
"The thing we're excited about is that we have four new linebackers. The depth and ability that we have is better than a year ago..."
John Oddonetto Kansas defensive lineman
Sophomore Andrew LeClair probably will start with Lomax at inside linebacker, while senior Tim Bowers, junior Chaz Murphy and sophomore Algie Atkinson will split time at the outside linebacker positions.
On the defensive line seniors Dion Johnson and Dion Rayford are the returning starters, but will be pushed by freshman Justin Sands and senior Jeremy Hanak. Senior John Williams and sophomore Nate Dwyer will split time at nose tackle.
"Hopefully, it will shore us up against the rush," he said.
For Kansas to be a bowl team, the run defense might be the most important aspect of the team's success. "We won't become a better team until we become better against the rush," Allen said.

World Cup champs embody sex and sports
I don't think so.
Continued from page 1B
Let's face it, sex and sports are nearly inseparable. Maybe sumo wrestling doesn't float your boat, but most of us have been conditioned to respond favorably to an athletic body. And popularity has often been boosted by good looks. I'm fairly certain that Jerod Haase wasn't the female fan favorite during his tenure
Part of being a fan is identifying with an athlete's persona. It's natural that we should be more interested in athletes that we find attractive. We're not just fans of athletes; we are fans of the people we believe them to be.

Knee injury sidelines new setter

Team members rely on seniors for leadership
By Shawn Hutchinson sportswriter @kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Misfortune caught up with the Kansas volleyball program Aug. 10, and someone ended up paying the price.
That someone was Amy Billings, the Jayhaws' highly touted freshman recruit, who suffered an injury to her kneecap during the second day of practice. After she underwent surgery two days later, the status of the 5-foot-10-inch setter was still in question.
That forces the Jayhawks, who are coming off a 15-27 season, into a binding situation. The team has only two setters on its roster, and with Billings out of action for an undetermined amount of time, pressure now falls on sophomore Molly LaMere to carry the load.
Second-year coach Ray Bechard said Billings' injury was tough to deal with.
"It itches you hard, and then you have to move on," he said. "It impacts the team from the standpoint that we only have two players in that position. But Amy's bound and determined to come back and contribute sometime this year."
Until then, the Jayhawks will have to make do with what they have — the new $3.8 million Horejsi Family Athletics Center in which to play, and 10 players returning from last year's squad, including five seniors. The Jayhawks also welcome six newcomers, who Bechard said can all contribute to the team in one way or another.
Among those returning is All-Big 12 Conference performer Amanda Reves. The senior middle blocker led the team last season in kills and blocks, en route to breaking Kansas' career block assist record as a junior. She enters the season ranked first all time with a 276 career attack percentage and fourth all time with 62 career block solos.
"As far as the team goes, we need to start getting things done right now." Reves said. "It's not an 'as if' year or a
'what if year or an 'almost'
year anymore. This is the
year to do it."
That urgency is sure to spill over to other Jayhawks. Senior middle blocker Anne Kreimer is recovering from off-season surgery on the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee, which she tore during drills last spring. The senior knows that getting back to 100 percent is vital if she hopes to contribute to the team this season.
"Right now I'm at like 75 percent," Kreimer said. "I need to get to about 80 percent, and hopefully I can get there in the next couple of weeks."
Kreimer posted 101 blocks and 29 aces last season, and ranks eighth on the career attack percentage list and 10th in career block assists.
Returning with Reves and Kreimer are seniors Mary Beth Albrecht, Tori Holtmeier and Kristi Kiyabu, which the team hopes is an equation that will add up to something special.
"The most important thing they provide is a great experience of work ethic and decision-making," Bechard said of his seniors. "They provide leadership, and that's what sets them apart from the rest of the group."
Last season the Jayhawks won 15 matches, their best win total since 1993. Despite tearing through the non-conference season, winning games at an 83 percent clip while compiling a record of 10-2, the Jayhawks fell flat in Big 12 play. A 5-15 record helped the Jayhawks freefall into a tie for eighth place in the conference.
If the first days of practice are any indication, the team is well on its way to curing its conference woes.
"I think our enthusiasm has surprised me a lot this year," Reves said. "There are a lot of people from different areas and a lot of new people on the team this year, but we've been really encouraging each other and working hard together."
Beachard said his team's main focus this season would be to duplicate last season's non-conference record, while trying to make an impact in the Big 12 standings as well.
"It's just a matter of us finding a way to win," he said. "That's the difference between the middle tier and the lower tier."

ATHLETIC CENTER

New volleyball center ready for upcoming tournaments
By Shawn Hutchinson
sportswriter@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The most noticeable aspect of the new Horejsi Family Athletics Center is that it's not Allen Fieldhouse.
Count the Jayhawks volleyball team as the first to come to this realization. The team, after having called 16,500 seat fieldhouse home since 1975, now will play in the new $3.8 million Horeisi Center, which seats 1,300. Quite a change, indeed.
"It's heaven," senior middle backer Amanda Reves said. "It's incomparable. We're pretty blessed to have our own place."
Heaven was completed shortly after the finish of the 1998 volleyball season. The 16,500-square-foot arena, named after a private donor, is located between the Wagnon Student Athlete Center and Hoglund Ballpark. The Horejsi (pronounced HOR-ish) Center contains volleyball locker rooms, concession stands and a ticket booth, and also will serve as a place to practice for the Jayhawk men's and women's basketball teams.
The Jayhawks hope their new building will do its job in winning over the
fans.
"We know the hard-core fans who have followed us over the years will return," second-year coach Ray Bechard said. "But our goal is to have more students involved and make it an event.
"We know part of it is putting a good product on the floor, so we hope to hold up our end of the bargain."
If the fans do come, the Jayhawks will now have a decisive home-court advantage over their opponents, which was never possible in the fieldhouse.
"Playing in Allen was fun, but the crowd was kind of drowned out because the place was so big," senior middle backer Anne Kreimer said. "It is a lot more acoustical," she said of the Horeisi Center.
The Jayhawks will soon get the chance to hear those acoustics. The season opener will be Sept. 1 against Missouri-Kansas City, and the official dedication ceremony will be Sept. 11 prior to the Kansas-Auburn match in the Jayhawk Classic Tournament.
The Jayhawks will play one match this season in the fieldhouse Oct. 15 prior to the annual Late Night with Roy Williams basketball season kickoff.

Top recruits consider Kansas
No.3 recruit says KU is among his top 10
By Amy Train
By Amy Train
sportswriter@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Shooting guard DeShawn Stevenson of Fresno, Calif., is No. 3 on ESPN Sportzone's top-50 recruiting prospects and could be coming to the University of Kansas next season.
Although Stevenson has not officially narrowed his list from the 80 schools recruiting him, Washington Union (Fresno) High School coach Larry Trigueiro said that Kansas was among the top five or 10.
"KU has a very legitimate shot at signing him," Trigueiro said. "He likes the fact that KU has a great program and that (Roy) Williams is a great coach."
Stevenson will not narrow his list until late September and will sign with his choice during the spring late-signing period.
Trigueiro said that Stevenson was very guarded right now and that he didn't want any school to drop him at this point.
"He is a great kid and an unbelievable basketball player," Trigueiro said. "He will make the decision that is best for him. He's got the mentality that wherever he goes he wants to make an impact."
that Stevenson was considering playing for the National Basketball Association, But, Trigueiro said that Stevenson would play college ball for at least two or three years before considering the NBA.
Previous inferences have said
Stevenson led Washington Union High School to the California Division III title, averaging 25 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists per game last season.
Drew Gooden, a 6-foot-9 incoming freshman forward from Richmond, Calif., said in a Kansas City Star article that Stevenson, his friend and former Amateur Athletic Union teammate, wanted to play for the Jayhawks.
Gooden is trying to get in touch with Stevenson to convince him to come to Late Night With Roy Williams in October.
Two other top-50 prospects still have Kansas on their list as well.
Travon Bryant, a 6-foot-8 inch power forward from Long Beach, Calif., plans to visit in October for Late Night with Roy Williams.
On Sept. 10, Kansas coaches are scheduled to visit Bryant at his home. Coaches from Kentucky, UCLA, Michigan State, Cal-Berkeley and Missouri also are planning to make in-home visits.
"Right now I want to concentrate on the upcoming season, trying to win a championship." Bryant said in a Lawrence Journal-World article. "I'll know more after the in-home visits. I have so many questions to ask the coaches."
Bryant is not expected to sign early.
Bryant averaged 22 points, 14 rebounds, five blocks and four assists last season. He is ranked No. 26 in the top 50.
Jared Reiner, a third prospect, is No. 32 on the top 50. Reiner, a 6-foot 11 center from Tripp, S.D., averaged 20 points, 12 rebounds and six blocked shots last year.
Reiner also is considering Florida, Duke and Kentucky.
Three scholarships are available for the 2000-01 season. None have been offered and Kansas coach Roy Williams might withhold one for possible transfers.
Other prospects considering playing for the Jayhawks in 2000-01 are: A.J. Moye, Atlanta; Andre Brown, Chicago; Terrence Crawford, Oklahoma City; Jason Parker, Tulsa, Okla., Demarshay Johnson, Oakland, Calif.; Floyd McClain, Houston; Jonathan Sanders, Westminster, Colo.; and Ricky Paulding, Detroit.
ESPN will televised the Dec. 18 Jayhawks game against Illinois in the United Center in Chicago starting at 11:05 a.m. Following the game, the Kansas women's team will play Illinois. The times were moved up because the NBA's Chicago Bulls have a home game that evening.
The Kansas-Missouri game on March 5 in Lawrence will be televised at 1 p.m. on CBS.

Although Haase and McGrath will not have any on-court coaching duties, they will oversee video coordination, equipment and other administrative duties while continuing their graduate studies at the University of Kansas.
"Our hope is that at the end of next season, C.B.
and Jerod will have been exposed to college basketball from a different perspective than what they received as players," said Coach Roy Williams."This will help them immensely as they will be prepared to be full-time coaches after next season."
The two occupy a position vacated by Ben Miller, who was promoted to assistant coach when Matt Doherty left to assume head coaching duties at the University of
Notre Dame.
"Ben Miller did so many things for us that it would be impossible for one person to do the job and still be a student," Williams said. "C.B. and Jerod are a perfect fit."
Haase transferred to Kansas from the University of California in 1995 and was a three-year starter for the Jayhawks. He ranks 18th on the school's all time scoring list with 1,264 points.

Men's tennis assistant coach leaves for Central Florida
By Melinda Weaver
sportswriter @kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
Men's tennis coach Mark Riley will be without his right-hand man, Bobby Cashman, who accepted coaching position at the University of Central Florida earlier this month.
Cashman spent two years as Riley's assistant, helping with the recruiting and development of players such as All-American Luis Uribe and Region V Rookies-of-the-Year Ed Dus and Quentin Blakeney.
"He helped us out immensely," Dus said. "He had the qualifications of a head coach, so it was like having two head coaches to teach us things. He knew a lot about the game."
Riley said that one of Cashman's best attributes was his good recruiting skills, which helped Riley build a new team after the squad lost many of its top players.
"He did a very good job for us and
added a lot of stability to our program," Riley said. "We had a young group last year, and he used his experience to teach them. He helped me replace the some of the team I
core of the team I had when I arrived."
The 1999 Jayhawks defeated three top 25 teams last season on their way to a 12-9 record.
KANSAS
TENNIS
Before coming to
Kansas, Cashman was the associate coach at Barry University in Miami for four years where he coached four All-Americans in 1996-97 alone.
In his college years, Cashman played tennis at Barry from 1986-90 and was named the team's most valuable player in 1986.
"This is an excellent career opportunity, to head my own program," Cashman said. "Kansas was a great experience for me and my family, but I'm ready to face a new challenge."
Riley said that Cashman would be missed, but that the team knew he deserved this opportunity.
"We're sad that he left, but we are all very happy for him." Riley said. "It's a great opportunity. It has always been a dream of his to have a head coaching job."
Riley has not found a replacement but has several interviews next week.

"Riley's not going to find anybody as good or as experienced as Coach
Cashman, but it was good for him to go," Dus said. "He's deserving, to say the least."

Women's rowing team recruiting walk-ons
The Kansas women's rowing team that ranked No. 22 last spring in the U.S. Rowing Collegiate Coaches Poll is preparing for another season.
Their first race is in early October, but this week the Jayhawks' priority is finding rowers, not practicing.
The team, which has only 20 scholarships to give, has relied on walk-on recruiting for their success.
The scholarships are divided among 40-50 rowers. Money is set aside for the additional 25-30 incoming walk-ins in their second semester.
"With walk-on recruiting, we find athletes who in their mind thought they were done with varsity sports," said Coach Rob Catloth. "They are still good athletes."
Most Kansas rowers had no high school experience. Many were softball, basketball and volleyball players in high school.
Last year, in the team's fourth year as a varsity sport, they won the Intercollegiate Rowing Association Regatta at Camden, N.J.,
in May. The Jayhawks defeated Miami (Fla.). Colgate, Temple, New Hampshire and Drexel. Two former walk-ons also have had individual recognition
In June, Lawrence senior Risa Petty, co-captain and three-year letter winner, was named to the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association
Rowing
All-Central Region second team. She was also named to the Central Region All-Academic team.
Tara Allop, Ballwin, Mo., sophomore, was one of 14 freshman invited last year to a three-week training program at the Olympic Rowing training center in San Diego.
The Jayhawks anticipate improving on last year's national ranking.
"We only lose one rower from the first Varsity-Eight Boat, so we should be very successful." Petty said.
"Our goal is to make it to the NCAA championships," Catloth said.

Woodard returns to coach after successful pro career
By Melinda Weaver
sportwriter@kansan.com
Kansan sportwriter
Lynette Woodard has returned to her alma mater to serve as an assistant coach for the women's basketball team after a successful 20-year career in the sport.
She was recruited by Coach Marian Washington and will
Repace Deborah Newkirk, who has accepted a position as an administrative assistant for the University of Kansas basketball program.
---
Woodard: Returns to alma mater
"I am so happy to be a part of the
University of Kansas program officially." Woodard said. "I am excited about working with Coach Washington. I can't miss this opportunity."
Woodard brings experience from a long basketball career and is familiar with the Kansas program. She joined the team in 1978.
"She's been there and done that," Washington said. "She is pound-for-pound the best basketball player to play the game. She will impact highly any young players who set high goals for themselves and are willing to work hard to reach them. We feel very fortunate to have her with our program."
When the Wichita native graduated from Kansas in 1981, she held several collegiate and Kansas basketball records,
many of which have yet to be broken.
Her records include points (3,649), rebounds (1,714), steals (522) and field goals (1,572). Her points record is the highest ever in women's college basketball.
After her collegiate career. Woodard spent two years playing in Italy before returning to the United States to train for the 1984 Olympic games.
She was the captain of the gold medal team in 1984 and then became the first female Harlem Globetrotter.
Woodard spent three years playing professionally in Japan before accepting a position as the athletic director for the Kansas City, Mo., school district.
After two years, she took a break from her basketball career to work as a stockbroker.
In 1997, she ended her brief retirement to play for the Cleveland Rockers in the WNBA. In 1998, she played for the Detroit Shock.
Last season, Woodard served as the Special Assistant for External Relations and Women's Basketball at Kansas. While she was on the sidelines at all of the team's game, she didn't have an official post.
Her responsibilities this season will include assisting with practice sessions, coordinating team travel, recruiting and working as the team's academic liaison.
"She has been an ambassador for women's basketball not only in Kansas but for the nation," Washington said. "We feel fortunate to have all her experience as a player and as a professional."

Former KU player returns to Lawrence for good cause
**sportswriter**@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
By Doua DeRhodes
Ten-year-old Anthony Frei of Lawrence has compiled many memories this past summer, and that list got a little longer last Thursday morning.
Sporting two casts — one on each of his legs — Anthony had another memorable moment when former Kansas men's basketball player Greg Ostertag autographed the last cast.
Anthony, who is in the process of recovering from heel cord extension surgery, and other local youths got to talk to and play basketball with one of their heroes.
Ostertag returned to Lawrence this past weekend to participate in last Saturday's fourth annual Ostertag Golf Classic that benefits the American Lung Association of Kansas. Clad in a Utah Jazz T-shirt and shorts, Ostertag and the youth gathered at the basketball courts at Seventh and Kentucky streets to kick off the weekend activities which included the golf tournament and the first Big O's Spaghetti Night.
Athletic Coach
When all the questions were answered, Ostertag took to the court and played some basketball with about 30 kids. He taught them the fundamentals of blocking shots and allowed them to play him one-on-one or form a team against him.
Ostertag, who was a standout at Kansas from 1991-95, took time to answer questions ranging from his current status with the NBA's Utah Jazz to his shoe size.
An asthma sufferer himself, Ostertag's message was that the chronic disease need not stand in the way of athletic performance or dreams. Ostertag noted that although he still has asthma, he has not used his inhaler in more than a year.
All proceeds from the weekend's events will help the lung association teach children how to better manage their asthma and provide opportunities for them and their parents to learn more about the chronic disease
Brenda Frei, Anthony's mother, was very pleased with the activities and with Ostertag's involvement in the community. "We support the lung association because

Anthony and his siblings all have asthma," she said. "It is great for Greg to come out here and support this cause."
Frei was not the only one amazed at Ostertag's generosity and loyalty to the town he called home for several years. Other parents talked about how tough it must have been for him to come back and sign autographs and take pictures when a tornado ripped through Salt Lake City, his current home, not twenty-four hours earlier.
Ostertag, who said he often thought about Lawrence and his Jayhawk days, preferred to accentuate the positive.
"I have always loved working with kids. I guess that is because I am a kid myself."

Eleven sports offered from Recreation Services
Or at least get down and dirty with a little bit of flag football.
By Jason Walker sportswriter@kanson.com Kansan sportwriter
Jason Krone, assistant director of recreation services, said that playing intramurals was a great way to stay active and meet new people.
By Jason Walker
There are 11 intramural activities offered by KU Recreation Services this year, and every year, literally thousands of KU students participate in intramurals.
"The social aspect is the big draw," he said. "With so many kids participating from different groups students can get exposed to people from different areas of campus."
"Last year we had over 100 football teams and around 80 sand volleyball and soccer teams," he said. "So there were thousands of kids involved in just those three sports."
Krone said that not only greek houses and residence halls entered teams. Sometimes a group of friends gets together and forms a team in a sport that it enjoys.
Besides football, sand volleyball, regular volleyball and soccer, students also can play floor hockey, tennis or 8 ball pool. There is also a bowling league and a golf tournament, along with a swim meet and organized racquetball.
"We try to provide one activity that every KU student would be interested in," Krone said. "Plus it's a really fun atmosphere."
"Everyone wants to know how they can match up with their peers," he said. "Whoever wins their respective tournament has bragging rights for that year."
Krone said that the competition in intramurals was a big draw for campus organizations like Greek houses and residence halls.
Sean Younger, Mulvane senior and intramural supervisor, said that intramurals were a good way for students to have some good, cheap fun.
"It's only $30 for each team to play," he said.
"And that's pretty cheap. That way lots of teams can enter, and we can have some good competition."
Krone also said that every team sport has three divisions: men's, women's, and co-rec. So it is easy for almost everyone to find a way to fit in.
"That makes it easier to work the games into everyone's schedule." he said
"No one gets left out," he said. "We want everyone to be involved."
Younger said that at the manager's meeting each team gets to decide what day and time it wants to play.
Manager meetings begin Aug. 29 at 7 p.m. A list of sports and meeting times can be obtained at the recreation services office at 208 Robinson, or by calling the office at 864-3546.

Students needed to referee competitions
By Jason Walker
By Jason Walker sportswriter@kansan.com
Kanson sportswriter
Students at the University of Kansas have a wide variety of job opportunities. From being a bartender to working the front desk at a residence hall, students need jobs that give them some spending money and are fun at the same time.
For students who like sports, a good job could be waiting for them at Robinson Center.
Thousands of KU students participate in intramural sports, and keeping an operation that big running takes a lot of help. Students can be intramural officials, a job that not only deals with sports but also puts them right in the action.
Jason Krone, assistant director of Recreation Services, said that there were a lot of misconceptions about being an official on an intramural level.
"People think they can't play in that sport
if they officiate it," he said. "And that's just not true. Plus students see how professional officials get yelled at and think that every official gets treated that way, but we don't tolerate that kind of behavior."
Krone said that working as an official gave students other benefits besides money.
"You get to be around sports in a fun atmosphere, meet a lot of people and get paid for it," he said. "Plus you never have to work over breaks because we don't schedule any activities during school vacations."
There are five sports this fall that need officials: flag football, sand and indoor volleyball, soccer and floor hockey. Krone said that while previous experience in a sport was good for prospective officials to have, it was not necessary.
"Anybody who has interest in the sport is welcome to officiate," he said. "Even if you don't know all the rules we can teach them to you. It's a great way to start out in sports."
Jeremy Arthur, Erie junior, said that he has officiated for the last two years and was planning on doing it again this year.
"The best part is the people you get to meet," he said. "Plus you're around sports, and getting paid for it. What more could sports fan ask for?"
Krone said that Recreation Services was there to support its employees.
"We want our officials to know that they are not alone if an injury or disciplinary situation arises," he said.
Arthur said that he got comfortable by officiating a practice game before he actually put on the striped shirt.
"It kind of made me less nervous for my first time," Arthur said. "I felt better knowing I had already done it before when I did my first real game."
A list of officials' meeting times can be picked up in the Recreation Services office at 208 Robinson, or by calling the office at 864-3546.

Cross country prepares for the fall
Coach, athletes anticipate season
Kansan Staff Report
Getting Kansas' cross country athletes motivated is what Coach Gary Schwartz is hoping will lead the team to a successful season.
"You can accomplish a lot with motivated athletes, and I think we are returning a lot of motivated athletes," Schwartz said.
The cross country team had a frustrating 1998 season. Neither the men's nor women's teams qualified for the NCCA championship, which was at Rim Rock Farm, the Jayhawks' home course. Brian Jensen, Ronne, Denmark, senior, was the lone Jayhawk to qualify for the national meet.
"The men's team didn't quite measure up to our expectations," Schwartz said. "It was a pretty solid season, but I think our expectations were higher than we were able to accomplish."
The women's team also had a frustrating season last year, finishing last in the Big 12 Conference.
"We had a lack of depth and some injuries that we had to deal with and, plus, a real
young team," Schwartz said.
Schwartz is looking for improvement during the season, especially at the Big 12 Conference and the district meets. He had a very optimistic outlook about this season.
"I think the athletes that I have talked to this summer have had a good summer of training," Schwartz said. "They are coming in highly motivated and are ready to have a good season.
"The men's team has good talent up front, good depth,and we have good senior leadership."
CROSS COUNTRY
On the women's team, Schwartz said he hoped to significantly improve. He is looking forward to having more depth and athletes staying healthy.
There are going to be
There are going to be some changes with both the men's and women's teams: Schwartz is going to demand more of the individual athletes on the men's team, and the intensity of their workouts is going to elevated.
Schwartz will be looking toward his seniors on both the men's and women's teams to be leaders this season, particularly Diane Heffernan, Kearney, Neb., senior.
"People lead by different methods."
"You can accomplish a lot with motivated athletes,and I think we are returning a lot of motivated athletes."
Gary Schwartz Cross Country Coach
Schwartz said. "There are people who lead by example and people who are vocal leaders. I have a combination of all those. The seniors are among the best on the team."
Heffernan paced the women's team last season and finished 52nd in the Jayhawk Invitational.
"She is a good leader and somebody we will need to look toward." Schwartz said.
Schwartz said he was excited about this cross country season and thought his athletes were anticipating it, as well.
"I am looking forward to the season because last year was a break-through for a lot of people." Schwartz said. "They went home excited about getting ready for this coming year."

Cuban champion will not compete
Sotomayor injury saves IAAF from deciding on suspension
The Associated Press
HAVANA — Cuban high-jumper Javier Sotomayor, who tested positive for cocaine at the Pan American Games, has withdrawn from the World Championships because of a herniated disc.
His withdrawal means the International Amateur Athletic Federation won't have to decide whether to suspend him from the championships Aug. 21-29 in Seville, Spain.
"I feel very,very bad.I didn't think the injury was that serious."
"If Sotomayor doesn't compete in Seville because he's injured, many problems are solved," he said. "The case will follow normal procedure."

Cuban High-Jumper
IAAF spokesman Giorgio Reineri said last Friday that the federation had not yet received official notification of Sotomayor's withdrawal but would welcome it.
Sotomayor tested positive for cocaine after winning his fourth consecutive title at the Pan Am Games in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on July 30. He was stripped of his gold medal.
Sotomayor, 31, who's a two-time world outdoor champion, and the world indoor and outdoor record-holder, and Cuban officials have proclaimed his innocence and content that his drug test was manipulated as part of a conspiracy.
The IAAF has received a report on Sotomayer's case from the Cuban federation, which has refused to suspend him. Reineri said the report would be examined
by the IAAF's drug commission. If the Cuban federation doesn't suspend Sotomayor, the IAAF can.
Cuban sports officials announced Sotomayor's injury Friday.
The Cuban Sports Institute said Sotomayor would need an operation to repair the injured disc in his lower back. No date has been set for surgery, the institute said.
Rodrigo Alvarez Cambra, chief doctor to the Cuban delegation at the Pan Am Games, has called the injury a grave and serious problem.
Sotomayor was seen grimacing and reaching for his lower back after one of his jumps at the Pan Am games.
"I feel very, very bad," Sotomayor said. "I didn't think the injury was that serious."
Sotomayor is the only high jumper to clear 8 feet, first accomplishing the feat in 1989. He improved his record to 8 feet and one half inch in 1993.

Hall of Fame shortstop Reese dies at his home
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES—Pee Wee Reese, the Hall of Fame shortstop and Brooklyn Dodgers captain, whose leadership and example helped ease the way for Jackie Robinson to break major league baseball's color barrier, died Saturday. He was 81.
The Los Angeles Dodgers confirmed Reese's death. He died at his home in Louisville, Ky. The cause was not immediately known.
Flags at Dodger Stadium were flown at half-staff for Saturday night's game against Atlanta.
An eight-time All-Star, Reese sparked the Dodgers to seven National League pennants. He led Brooklyn to its only World Series championship in 1955, fielding the final ball in a 2-0 victory in Game 7 at Yankee Stadium.
"He loved the Dodgers, he always respected the Dodgers and the people who owned the Dodgers," pitcher Don Newcombe, who played eight years with Reese, said Saturday night. "The Dodgers were his life."
Nicknamed "The Little Colonel," the Kentucky native batted .269 in a
career that spanned 1940-58 and included the Dodgers' first year in Los Angeles.
Reese was inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame in 1984. A regular at the induction ceremonies at Cooperstown, N.Y., until recent years, he was not at the shrine three weeks ago for the festivities.
Reese was born on July 23, 1918, on a farm in Meade County, Ky., and moved to Louisville with his family as a child. He gained his nickname, not because of his size
Reese was first signed by the Louisville Colonels of the American Association in 1937.
— he was listed at 5-foot-10 and 160 pounds — but from his prowess at marbles. One year he was the runner-up to the national champion in The Courier-Journal marble tournament.
After his baseball career, Reese worked as a broadcaster with CBS, NBC and the Cincinnati Reds. He later became director of the college and professional baseball staff at Hillerich & Bradsby, maker of Louisville Slugger bats.
Reese married Dorothy Walton on March 29, 1942. They had two children, Barbara and Mark.
Denver Broncos begin life after Elway
The Associated Press
Rookie using "hands-on" approach to success
GREEELEY, Colo. — Although he's listed behind Terrell Davis, Derek Loville, Leeland McEiroy and Curtis Alexander on the depth chart, Denver Broncos rookie running back Olandis Gary has an edge over the other four. Gary is gaining a reputation as a pass receiver.
"Olandis might have the best hands of all the running backs. That is saying a lot because Terrell has awesome hands," said Broncos running backs coach Bobby Turner. "He has super awesome hands and can definitely catch the ball."
"I like his catching ability and the fact he is a between-the-tackles runner," Turner said. "He reminded me a lot of Terrell Davis when I saw him on tape, the foot quickness, his football instincts and just toughness."
That's high praise for a first-year back known as a tough guy with natural running ability.
That kind of talk that has Gary shaking his head. Both were late draft choice.
"Olandis might have the best hands of all the running backs. That is saying a lot because Terrell has awesome hands."
Bobby Turner
Broncos running backs coach
es — Davis was a sixthround pick, Gary a fourth—and they both played at the University of Georgia. But Gary is begging for the comparisons to end.
"It is too early for me to be thinking about how I compare to Terrell Davis in the NFL," Gary said. "No. I didn't keep in contact with him when he left Georgia and I really didn't know Terrell when I was in school because I transferred to Georgia his rookie year."
Right now I am trying to learn the offense the best I can," said the 5-foot-11, 218-pounder. "I have to show the coaches that I am here and I want to play football for the Denver Broncos."
While acknowledging
having some baby soft hands, he can't trace the origin of his catching ability. During four years at Georgia, Gary caught only 26 passes for 224 yards and a touchdown.
"We didn't throw the ball to the backs that much," Gary said. "I always worked on it in the off season. I worked on catching
the ball by myself to become better in all aspects of the game because at Georgia, we had to focus on a lot of things, because we rotated running backs."
Gary, who bares a striking facial resemblance to Chicago White Sox slugger Frank Thomas, admitted getting some unsolicited help from Davis.
"Oh, yeah, he's been advising me," Gary said. "He's kind of been my counselor the first few weeks."
"I put myself in his situation and it is tough," Davis said. "You come in here learning a lot of different plays and your head is just spinning."
Neil Smith finds himself on unfamiliar ground at camp
The Associated Press
PACER
GREELEY, Colo.
Training camp is a different world for Denver Broncos defensive end Neil Smith this year.
For the first time in his 12-year NFL career, he is
a starter. And Smith — who has earned two Super Bowl rings with the Broncos after spending nine years with
the Kansas City Chiefs — played only two plays during Denver's preseason opener.
But the 33-year-old Smith, who was benched during the final two regular-season games last year, is determined to make the cut.
"Everybody thinks I'm done, everybody thinks I'm washed up," Smith said. "Not me. I would've never attended camp if I didn't think I could get it done."
NFL teams must trim
their rosters to 65 players Aug.31 and 53 players Sept. 5.
Though he is still popular with his teammates, Smith knows he is still on the list of Denver's endangered species.
In the regular season, the Broncos probably will have up to 10 defensive linemen. Maa Tanuvasa, Alfred Williams, Montae Reagor and Harald Hasselbach have four of those spots locked up. The final defensive end spot should come down to former Chicago Bear Carl Reeves or Smith.
One of Smith's biggest motivation is his 2-year-old son Neland. While his older children — Joshua, 16, and Nesha, 8. — have seen him at the height of his career, Smith said he wanted to show Neland what his daddy can do.
And if he makes it, Smith could achieve a significant milestone.
He has 98 career sacks, leaving him just two regular-season sacks shy of becoming the 17th player in NFL history with at least 100.

Graf hangs up her racket at age 30
Steffi Graf joined superstars Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, John Elway and Barry Sanders as athletes who retired in 1999 when she announced her decision on Friday.
The Associated Press
"They all retired at the same time," two-time U.S. Open tennis champion Tracy Austin said. "What are they doing to us?"
All Graf did was dominate her sport while earning a women's record about $22 million along with 22 Grand Slam tournament singles titles.
"I have done everything I wanted to do in tennis," the 30-year-old Graf said in Heidelberg, Germany. "It is time to stop."
Bart McGuire, the WTA Tour's chief executive officer, said Graf had been a role model for female athletes in all sports.
"She has been a catalyst for the resurgence of women's tennis, especially in Europe," McGuire said. "Steffi is a class act."
"I can kind of sympathize with what she's going through because when you're at the top, it is not easy to maintain it," said Pete Sampras, who's currently the top-ranked men's player. "She had an unbelievable career, did it with a lot of class.
"She went out and got the job done and made the racket do the talking. I have always looked up to her, the way she approached the game. She worked very hard and is a great athlete. But she has nothing
to be ashamed of after winning 22
Grand Slams. That is not easy."

overnight success. She didn't win her first Grand Slam tournament title until 1987, when she surprised Martina Navratilova in the final of the French Open.
Andre Agassi, the third-ranked man, said Graf's retirement was a loss for tennis because she was the best lady that had ever played, dominated on every surface.
In 1982, Graf played her first WTA Tour match in Filderstadt, Germany. The 13-year-old participated in the draw and pulled Austin's name as her first-round opponent.
"She was this kid who hit the ball

so hard I couldn't believe it." Austin said Friday. "It was 4-all in the first set and she was painting the lines."
"I knew she was going to be a very, very good player," Austin said. "She had a huge, huge forehand and she moved like a deer out there."
Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario played Graf in seven Grand Slam tournament finals, winning the 1989 French Open and the 1994 U.S. Open.
"She's been a great player, a great champion, a good person and a friend," Sanchez-Vicario said in Manhattan Beach, Calif., where she is playing in the Acura Classic. "No one can replace Steffl. It's kind of hard to think she isn't going to 'be there anymore.'
Lindsay Davenport, the Wimbledon champion and the defending U.S. Open champion, thought Graf would wait before retiring.
"I was really expecting her to kind of end her career at the U.S. Open, so it is a little bit of a surprise," she said. "What I thought was really great was the older she got and the more she was winning, probably in the mid-'90s, the happier it seemed to make her. When she was playing in the '80s and just dominating, she never looked that happy, and I think she really learned to appreciate the game the older she got and more she played."
Billie Jean King called Graf the

"I'm glad that she is able to retire on her own terms and hope that she will keep some involvement and commitment to our sport the rest of her life," King said. "We will miss her great athletic ability."
Austin, whose career was shortened by a back injury, said she was not surprised by Graf's decision.
"It's a great loss for her women's tennis, but I love the fact that she's doing it on her terms because after all of these injuries she's had, it's great that she's not going out because of an injury."
"But I'm happy for her that she feels at peace," Pierce said.
Wimbedon semifinalist Alexandra Stevenson said Graf's retirement gave her goose bumps.
Mary Pierce, whose lone Grand Slam tournament title came at the 1995 Australian Open, was surprised at the retirement.
"Knowing I will never have the privilege of playing against her makes me sad," she said. But I will memorize her graceful and courageous run at the 1999 French Open. Steffi Graf was always my measure of greatness."
MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. — A year ago, Lindsay Davenport went from being a good player to a great one. She doesn't just hope for success, she expects it. And perhaps the nicest woman in tennis finally realized she hates to lose.
The Associated Press
Davenport a winner on and off court
"That was really hard for me to kind of step up and always be the aggressor and take chances and just be a more forceful presence on the court," she said.

& NEW Sports Equipment 1029 Massachusetts
But she did, and she's got U.S. Open and Wimbledon titles to prove it.
Davenport's transformation from perennial top 20 player to a Grand Slam champion occurred during one sizzling summer in her native California.
"Kind of set the whole summer on fire," Davenport said.
She won three consecutive tournaments on her favorite hard court surface last July and August, then defeated Martina Hingis to win her first Grand Slam at the U.S. Open.
Suddenly, everyone was talking about how the 6-foot-2-1/2 player with the booming serve and punishing groundstrokes had improved her game. Having dropped about 30 pounds, Davenport was quicker and able to get to balls opponents had previously hit out of her reach.
"She's wanting it more and working more," Hingis said. "She lost weight, and she's serving better."
All the attention was a bit overwhelming for someone who doesn't crave the
"I just really let the tennis — kind of like Pete Sampras — do the talking," she said.

women's Tennis Association Tour-leading 69 singles matches and six titles, her best year since turning pro in 1993.
"There's so much pride and a level of attitude you get when you know you're No. 1," she said from the Acura Classic, a U.S. Open tuneup that she won last year.
But not the kind of attitude associated with some of Davenport's fellow pros. She possesses none of the bravado of the Williams sisters or Hingis.
"I'm not the type of player that's going to say, 'I'm unbeatable' or 'Did you see how well I played or quotes like that,' she said. "I take
it pretty normal."
Because she's approachable and stands out in a crowd, Davenport frequently finds herself the recipient of strangers' friendly advice.
"I swear I'm a magnet for that," she said. "Everybody is like, 'If you did this, you'd become much better.' I kind of always roll my eyes."
But she says thanks and sends everyone off with a friendly smile. Even the ones who stare and ask about her height.
Davenport won her second Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in July, restoring her to the top ranking. A loss in the semifinals at Carlsbad a week ago put her No. 2 behind Hingis.
"To get to No. 1 and stay there for a number of weeks has been a huge honor, but at the same time, if I wasn't No. 1 and I won a Grand Slam in a year it would be a bigger success," she said.
"I made the cover of the sports section for winning the U.S. Open," she said. "For winning Wimbledon, I'm on the cover of the front page."
Despite her No.1 status, Davenport has never been one of tennis' cover girls. She isn't in the gossip columns for who she's dating or for throwing tantrums, like some of her opponents.
"A lot more people have come up to me since winning Wimbledon than the U.S. Open. It definitely puts me in a different category of

player."
"She dictated the whole match, and she was the one hitting the winners," Davenport said. "I thought if I'm going to lose, I'd rather be the one who makes 60 errors and just gets beat off the court by winners.
"What I really figured out is that if I'm going to lose, I want to lose it on my terms."
Davenport's confidence is evident to her rivals.
"You see it in her whole game. When she's down, she's believing in herself all the time," said Anke Huber of Germany, who's lost to Davenport twice in recent weeks.
Aranxta Sanchez-Vicario of Spain knows what it takes to be No. 1, having been there in 1995. She sees a difference in Davenport since last year.
"She's just hitting her balls and making them from everywhere. She's very, very confident and that's a big difference," Sanchez-Vicario said.
"She's elevated her game and now it's up to the rest of the players to go and get her to see who can knock her off."

Big 12 Football
Big 12 Conference faces another season of success, failure
It is the best of times, it is the worst of times.
On any given Saturday, the average football fan can see Heisman Trophy candidate Ricky Williams of Texas Tech tear up the defense, the overwhelming tradition at schools like Nebraska and Oklahoma, the grit and intelligence of Texas quarterback Major Applewhite and Kansas State linebacker Mark Simoneau.
or the picturesque setting of Folsom Field in Boulder Colo.
On the down side, fans wonder why the Kansas State Wildcats couldn't claw their way into the Bowl Championship Series last season despite being the fourth-ranked team nationally, or why programs such as Kansas, Iowa State, and Baylor couldn't quite put together
Rigg columnist sports@kansan.com
Michael T.
Though victories to earn national respect. So goes the life of the average Big 12 Conference football fan.
Four years ago, the Big Eight Conference merged with four members of the Southwest Conference to form the superpower creation that is the Big 12. The plan was for the new conference to win at everything from football to rubber band fights.
As Dr. Evil would say, "Can you hear me when I say, 'world domination?' "
However, now the conference is too big for its own good, which only widens the gap between the haves (see: Nebraska) and the have-nots (see: Baylor). But, as the Big 12 opens its fourth season of football, there is no doubt that the conference has made strides since its inception.
The only question is, which way?
This and many other questions will be pondered in the 1999 season, and no one will know the answers until sometime in January.
Will Nebraska be able to return to its old form with often-informed quarterback Bobby
More information See the Big 12 schedule on page 15B and the coach's poll on page 19B.
Newcombe and a much-maligned running game?
Can Texas &A M duplicate last season's stunning success with many of the same players?
The story of two Ricky Williams will be in place in the Lone Star State as Texas attempts to fill the hole left by its Williams departing, while, on the other side of the state, Texas Tech is grateful that its Williams stayed. How will both of these scenarios play out?
Can Kansas State stay on top of the Big 12 North and possibly top last year's results by winning the Big 12 and not leaving anyone an excuse to exclude the Wildcats from the BCS?
Will Colorado "walk the walk" along with all the talk of their "return to dominance" without a dominating running game?
In coach Terry Allen's third year in Lawrence, are the Jayhawks capable of putting up enough wins to prove Allen's program is headed in the right direction?
Can standout performers such as defensive lineman Justin Smith and offensive lineman Rob Riti offset Missouri's losses of quarterback Corty Jones and running back Deyin West?
In the Sooner state, can new coach Bob Stoops lift Oklahoma back to national dominance? Legally?
Can cross-state rival Oklahoma State turn the fifth-year of coach Bob Simmons' five year plan into a bowl appearance?
And can schools such as Baylor and Iowa State surround the great individual talents they have such as Darren Davis and Gary Baxter with a vehicle to win?
While the questions abound, the season can guarantee good times and bad times, no matter which school you root for. Unless you're psychic, there's only one way to find out how it'll end up in January.

Defeat will motivate new K-State leaders during coming season
By Michael T. Rigg sportswriter @kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Wildcats regroup after failed title run
As the Kansas State Wildcats begin the 1999 season, the bumper sticker on the K-State bandwagon should "Texas A&M happens."
It was the Aggies, after all, who killed the Wildcats' national championship hopes during the 1998-1999 season with a 36-33 overtime victory in the Big 12 Conference title game.
McDONALD 80 CUMMINS 58
Even though that loss will be hard to recover from, Coach Bill Snyder said the Wildcats hope to use that defeat as motivation for the coming season and as a springboard for future success.
"I'm proud of the kids, the coaches and fans on how they dealt with the loss," Snyder said. "It's behind us, but it's not going to disappear. Our coaches and players have been able to lean on the experience as a motivational factor for this year. It's important to learn lessons about life. It fortifies character."
Linebacker Mark Simoneau said he agreed.
"As soon as the last game was over, I started focusing on next year," Simoneau said. "We had a great year last year, but that is in the past. All we're thinking about is this year."
K-State is counting on either junior quarterback Jonathan Beasley, who was a redshirt in 1998, or longtime backup Adam Helm to fill in for Bishop, who is one of 11 players from the 1998-1999 Wildcats to join the NFL this season.
Snyder also will take unconventional measures, such as moving second-team
Unfortunately for the Wildcats, they must successfully replace departed stars, such as quarterback and 1998 Heisman Trophy finalist Michael Bishop, all-time leading rusher Eric Hickson, wide receiver Darnell McDonald and linebacker Jeff Kelly in order to avoid suffering more character-fortifying losses in 1999.

"I was open to the move because I want to do anything I can to help the team win," Mcntosh said. "I plan to use the same aggressive nature on each side of the ball."
"There is nothing comparable about them," Snyder said when asked to compare the two to Bishop. "They can't throw the ball 90-100 yards like the Paul Bunyon stories you heard about Michael. They are not as punishing of a runner as he was. They just can't do the same things Michael did."
Beasley and Helm are competing to replace the most decorated quarterback in Wildcat history.
Snyder is counting on all-purpose running back David Allen to carry much of the offensive load. Even though the team learned last week that Allen would miss the first month of the season because of an injury, Snyder is hopeful that Allen can carry K-State to the Promised Land.
Luckily, two of the games Allen will

Big 12 Football
'Huskers look to rebound from disappointing season
By Michael T. Rigg sportswriter@kansan.com Konsan sportswriter
The year was 1968
Richard Nixon was just elected to the White House, the Beatles were headed towards popularity, and, until last season, it was the last time the Nebraska football team suffered a four-loss season.
If you traveled further back in time, to 1961, you would find the last time that Nebraska finished a season with more than four losses.
So what will the Cornhuskers and coach Frank Solich do to avoid a blast from the past?
"I try not to dwell on the four
losses
Solich said.
"I to

and having a chance to win them all. We lost to some great teams last year."
The 28-21 loss at Texas A&M that ended the Cornhuskers' 26-game winning streak and a 40-30 loss at Kansas State that effectively ended on a controversial no-call on an obvious face mask penalty.
The close and controversial losses made Solich quick to defend his team's effort last season.
"It was an enjoyable season," he said. "The reason for that was the attitude of our players and the work ethic they showed throughout the course of the season, especially given the hand they were dealt. We had a lot of injuries and were forced to

play three quarterbacks. They also had to go through a coaching change. I feel good about how they responded."
Solich continues to defend his team and compares the 1998 'Huskers to past Nebraska teams.
"Nebraska has had some great teams in the past, but some of those things that happened to us last year didn't happen to them," he said. "I don't see it as trying to prove anything, we just need to go out and play good football."
Playing good football should come naturally to a team that returns 20 starters from last season's team, including preseason All-Big 12 Conference defensive back Mike Brown, quarterbacks Bobby Newcombe and Eric Crouch, and running back DeAngelo Evans. The number of returning players, coupled with Nebraska's ability to bounce back from off years, has expectations soaring in Lincoln. Those expectations are just fine with Brown.
"We worked so hard last year, but I was disappointed with the record," Brown said. "I think we're going to come on strong this season. We're going to come back and show everyone in the country we're the same Nebraska team."
The strength of the this year's team lies on the defensive side
of the ball. Along with Mike Brown, another Brown, Ralph Brown, joins him in the defensive backfield that many outsiders call the best in the nation. Nebraska also returns 1998 Academic All-America linebacker Brian Shaw and linebacker Eric Johnson to a unit that finished seventh in the Big 12 in 1998.
While the defense should be the least of the Cornhuskers' concerns this season, the offense is a different story. Nebraska enters the season with an unsettled quarterback situation. Solich hasn't said whether Crouch or Newcombe will be the starter, plus an injury-prone Evans and an inexperienced offensive line.
Offensive lapses were blamed for last season's Texas A&M loss and the 20-16 home loss to Texas.
"I think we'll be a better offensive team overall this season because of the game experience we gained last year," Solich said. "Certainly, the offensive line was an area of inexperience last year, and it showed at times. We did, however, move the ball well enough to score points in nine games last season. It was not like they fell off the end of the earth."
Hopefully for Solich, Nebraska football hasn't either.

Tigers fill gaps left by seniors hope to repeat bowl victory

Kansan sportswriter
By Michael T. Riaa
The cover of the 1999 Missouri football media guide proclaims, "It's a great time to be a Tiger."
Unfortunately for Missouri, it may not be the best time to be a Tiger fan.
The Tigers must replace quarterback Corby Jones, running back Devin West and nine other starters from last season's 8-4 team, and their best players for 1999 are both linemen.
The kicking game, a glaring weakness for Missouri in 1998 which helped cost the Tigers three victories, remains unchanged.
To keep up with the changing times, the Tigers' stadium,

while

adds a new
press box.
"This year is a big challenge after coming off two winning seasons and a bowl victory," coach Larry Smith said. "We lost two great players in Devin West and Corby Jones, but that is a part of college football."
TIGERS QUICK FACTS
On the bright side, the Tigers return arguably the top receiver corps in the Big 12 Conference. But there may not be anyone who can get them the ball. Missouri will use an inexperienced two-quarter-back system to replace Jones. Sophomore Jim Dougherty

Outlook: A weak non-conference schedule will help the Tigers' inexperience, but replacing Corby Jones and Devin West is no easy task.
and redshirt freshman Kirk Farmer will share the position.
Smith's team also will sport a two-headed monster at tailback to replace West with senior DeVaughn Black and sophomore Zain Gilmore to split the workload. Smith said this platooning system wouldn't be a problem for the Tigers in 1999.
"We plan on going with a two-quarterback system. We don't have a No.1 and a No.2 guy, right now it is 1A and 1B," Smith said. "We'll also go with a tailback tandem to replace West. They are both good backs who are very similar and fit into what we want to do offensively."
Missouri has the Big 12's easiest non-conference schedule with games against University of Alabama-Birmingham, Western Michigan and Memphis, which should help the inexperienced team.
Although the backfield remains unsettled, the line remains a point of offensive strength. Preseason All-Big 12
center Rob Riti will be the centerpiece of a line that will be relied on more than ever in the upcoming season. Riti said all the off-season changes didn't mean changes in Missouri's run-oriented offense.
"I don't see the personality of our offense changing," Rifi said. "We're a run-oriented team, but we we're going to find a little more balance. We have some good receivers that don't get the credit they deserve and a pair of young quarterbacks that can throw the ball for us. So I don't see things changing, just some more balance."
Balance is lacking on defense, as the Tigers' front seven tip the action towards the line of scrimmage. Sophomores Justin Smith, last season's Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year, and nose tackle Jeff Marriott, Insight.com Bowl defensive MVP, return for their second season. The only upperclassman returning is senior cornerback Carlos Posey, whose experience will be relied on heavily to shore up a backfield that will boast four new starters, including a sophomore and a redshirt freshman.
"We've got a solid defense and an offense that has a lot of young talent," Posey said. "The defense just needs to keep doing what we've been doing over the past couple of seasons in order to be successful."
In the Big 12, however, success starts with experience. And Missouri may not have enough of that to make it a great time for the Tigers.

Texas A&M sets sights on bowl game, big win

Outlook: A&M returns most of its Big 12 Championship team from a year ago. Though they lost Nguyen on defense, the remaining linebackers are equally talented. Offense will feature a two-back system that should blow by mast of the Big 12 South.

But Slocum couldn't care less.
Texas A&M coach R.C. Slocum needs six wins to reach 100 career victories. If he gets them in the first six games, only two coaches in history will have reached that milestone faster.
So what does he care about?
But Slocum couldn't care less. "Those kinds of awards and things you worry about when you're 75," he said.
"I'd like to get to the point where we could win a national championship every
onship every year" he said

Kansas State. The only tough spot on their schedule this year is a trip to Lincoln to play the Cornhuskers. With eight starters returning on offense and defense, they were picked to win the Big 12's South Division.
But a national championship?
"Once you start to play in some of
those big games, you realize it's not that big of a deal," Slocum said. "The more you do it, the more you get used to it. We think those big games might become routine for us."
To be a routine player in big games, A&M must replace the heart of their defense — graduated middle linebacker Dat Nguyen. Beyond that, the Aggies have eight returning starters on both offense and defense, including quarterback Randy McCown, and running backs Dane Hall and Ja 'Mar Toombs.
The defense will rely on linebackers Cornellius Anthony and Roylin Bradley. They are part of a group that Slocum thinks can be even better than last year.
Anthony agreed.
"You can expect more of a solid cohesive unit," he said. "We're very confident in our unit because we feel we are solid in every position."
The offense is equally solid. Although McCown won the job midway through last season, he was out for the biggest game of the season—the Big 12 Championship against Kansas State — because of a broken collarbone. Comfortable in his role, McCown dismissed any notions that he or the team might not be
ready for big games.
"The thing that matters is if you produce," he said "If we do that, then of course the national championship is our goal. It should be every teams' goal."
Toombs and Hall provide McCown with plenty of depth at running back. Slocum, known as a coach who almost exclusively favors the
run, might start to feature more passing in his offense for the sake of balance.
"In our key games last year, we threw the ball extremely well," he said. "I was encouraged by that. I think that we can make some more great strides this year."
As the favorite to win the Big 12 South, Slocum's team also must
shed its image as a perennial bowl loser to become one of the college powerhouses.
In the last 10 years, the Aggies have been to eight bowl games but only have won two. Though five have been by less than 10 points, Slocum has been branded with a loser tag.
That's hard to explain to a coach whose success during his first 10 years ranks among the most successful coaches of all time.
"I've been given that tag before," he said. "When we were in the Southwest Conference, we were seen as good team from a weak conference. Now, we're fighting for respect up here."
But the time his team has spent in the Big 12 may contribute to Texas A&M's success.
"There's not a team in the Big 12 South that's not capable of beating any other team in the conference," Slocum said. "Top to bottom, it's a very balanced year. This is going to be one of the premier conferences in college football."
If A&M does come out on top of the Big 12 this year, the coach and his team might earn some respect. And put him on his way to 150 wins.

Colorado coach has new regime
Buffaloes hope to return to past years' dominance
By Michael T. Rigg
sportreporter@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
On the surface, the Colorado Buffaloes have it all. They have a new, highly regarded coach in former Northwestern coach Gary Barnett, they will play on natural grass at Folsom Field for the first time since 1970, and they return 16 starters from last year's 8-4 Aloha Bowl championship team.
"I think that in 1991, we were a real physical football team and we took our identity from that," Barnett said. "Now, as I return, I think we've got some real skill players, especially in the secondary, but we're more of a finesse team on both sides of the ball. But it's my belief to have a chance in this conference that we've got to get back to the style of play that we were playing in the early '90s."
Barnett even has made up a slogan for the new regime: return to dominance. It is an attempt to bring the program back to the Bill McCartney days when Colorado dominated the Big Eight Conference.
Much of the style that made the Buffaloes so successful was abandoned by former coach Rick Neuheilus's "pass first, run later" philosophy. So, the Colorado administration hired Barnett, McCartney's assistant from 1984-91. During McCartney's reign, the Buffaloes enjoyed a previous return to dominance, routinely finishing near the top of the Big Eight and winning the national championship in 1990. In order to regain this form, Colorado must find life in its now-dormant running game, which finished 11th in the Big 12 last year.

Longhorns hope to build on last season's momentum
By Mike Miller
sportswriter@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Texas Longhorns face the daunting task of replacing Ricky Williams—the all-time leader in NCAA rushing vards.
But Texas faces other problems too.
It lost four offensive linemen, returns only five players from a defense that was the ninth in the Big 12 Conference and will play a 12-game schedule that doesn't give it an off-week until Thanksgiving break.
And Williams did other stuff besides carry the brunt of the offensive load. He was the focus for the media, the school and boosters, allowing sophomore quarterback Major Applewhite to develop into the Big 12 freshman of the year.
When asked what he'll miss more, Williams or the offensive linemen, Applewhite thought about it and was saved when coach Mack Brown simply replied "Yes."
Brown then joked that he petitioned the NCAA for Williams to receive a fifth year of eligibility.
To get past the personnel losses, the Longhorns will focus on the best recruiting class in the country, a defensive-minded coach whose team keeps getting better and one of the most talented freshmen quarterbacks in college football.
Ah. to have everything Texas has.
As a storied college football program and one of the richest schools in the country with more practice facilities than a small city, Texas uses its resources to produce a team loaded with more talent than any other in the Big 12.
But experience still counts for

something.
Besides Applewhite, guard Roger Roesler, fullback Ricky Brown and wide receiver Kwame Cavil, the offense is playing with fresh faces. The offensive line won't face a real test until the sixth game of the season, when Texas plays Kansas State. That's good news for Brown's club, whose offense was the key to last year's success.
"That's the thing to having a good season—the bar is going to be raised," Applewhite said. "Now we want to have a good season to raise that bar again."
Though the defense played well at times, it was the offense that was the key.
"Last year we were better on
defense because we were better on offense," Brown said. "We kept the defense on the bench. I've never seen a defense as bad as ours. I swear that we gave the other team cramps because they were running up and down the field so fast.
"Against New Mexico State (A 66-36 Texas win) everybody came by and said it was nice that we put some subs in so we could score. Hell we didn't put anybody in."
Three defensive linemen return, including All-Conference performers Aaron Humphrey and Casey Hampton. But they have to anchor a line that was ninth in the Big 12 in total defense.
Though the Longhorns had done poorly the previous year, nationally ranked 85th overall in total defense. Last year, they improved to 56th overall, but that was still a far cry from what Brown's teams have done in the past. When he was the coach at North Carolina, the Tar Heels ranked second overall in total defense.
Texas is long way from being a dominant defensive team, but Brown is hopeful that they can at least maintain last year's success.
"We're trying to build on the momentum of last season and the enthusiasims of the fans," Brown said.
In Longhorn country, where horns haven't hooked a national championship since 1970, they tend to become eager for the possibility of a promising season. With only five opponents on the schedule that had winning seasons last year, Texas might have things go its way again this season.

Stoops ready for Sooner challenge
By Mike Miller
Though one of the most storied college football programs in history, Oklahoma has been anything but successful recently.
have gone through Norman Okla, since '94, but the latest to take the reins--38-year-old wunderkind Bob Stoops, fresh from the Steve Spurrier school of coaching—brings arrogance, confidence and brashness, but it remains to be seen if he also brings success.
The Sooners have not been to a bowl game since 1994 and have not had a winning record since 1993. For a school with six national championships, and
As the defensive coordinator for Florida, Stoops spent the last three seasons with a team that won 30 games and a national championship. Needless to say, he wants to have the same success running his own program.
"You should expect to win," Stoops said. "You should expect a successful team.
the fourth wins of all time, mediocrit is not acceptable.
Four coaches
"There's lots of pressure to win and win national championships, but that's OK."
To do that, he'll need to establish something the Sooners have been lacking the last four years—continuity.
"Players want continuity," he said. "It's something I think all people want. They need some kind of discipline."
For Oklahoma, that will be a necessity.
Though it ranked sixth in the NCAA in total defense, its offense was 101st in NCAA Division I-A in total offense. It was one of only two schools that averaged fewer than 300 yards per game and scored fewer than 20 touchdowns all year.
Some of the problems stem from an offensive system that has changed five times in the last six seasons, coupled with seven different quarterbacks in the last five years.
Stoops wants to change that. An observer of the "fun 'n gun" at Florida, Oklahoma may have something similar in store for opponents.
"Passing the ball is going to be an emphasis of ours. You've got to be able to throw the ball in today's game," he said.
But can he do it with a team that finished 5-6 last year?
Texas A&M coach R.C. Slocum thinks so.
"It's about what I expected," he said. "I feel that we have a good nucleus of players, but we've got to do a better job of developing the ones we've got."
"I've seen the players they have" he said. "With their talent level, they're not that far off."
But Stoops was curiously non-committal on his talent—the one thing he didn't have a strong opinion on.
With six starters returning on offense and five returning on defense, he'll have to work quick. A new quarterback and running back won't make matters easier, but consistency from his four returning offensive linemen will help. Junior college transfer Josh Heupel is

**Key Losses:** QB Eric Moore, RB De'Mond Parker, DT Kelly Greene
- Key Returnees: QB Josh Heupel, WR Jarral Jackson, LB Brandon Moore, CB Mike Woods, SS Oteil Jones
■ Outlook: The Sooners will be a revamped team with Stoops' direction. The defense will be good once again, and if Heupel is as good as his numbers indicate, the offense will turn around quickly. But inexperience is central to the Sooners' roster—if they can overcome that, they could see playing time in December.
expected to start at quarterback, but splitting time at running back will be junior Seth Littrel and senior Brandon Daniels.
If Heupel can connect with senior wide receiver Jarrail Jackson, most of Stoops' offensive willies will cease.
If the defense can play as well if last season, that will also help ease Stoops into his first year. Ranked only behind Kansas State in the Big 12 Conference last season, the Sooner defense must fill holes in the secondary, which lost both safeties, and on the defensive line.
The schedule doesn't make things any easier for Oklahoma, which includes trips to play Notre Dame, Colorado and Texas.
But the hothaded Stoops may have things go his way this year. If not, he'll just take another cue from Spurrier on visor usage.
"Am I going to wear a visor? Maybe. Am I going to throw it? Probably."

Texas Tech loses little, gains in experience
Heisman candidate Ricky Williams ready to outshine namesake
By Michael T. Rigg sportswriter@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Texas Tech coach Spike Dykes said that last season's surprising 6-0 start and Independence Bowl appearance was one of two things.
95 TEXAS TEER 6 KU 33
"I've been at Texas Tech a long time, and last year was the first year we had a chance to win every game," Dykes said.
"The moral of the story is that either we're getting better, or everyone else is getting worse."
Fortunately for Red Raider fans, it appears to be the latter. During the past six years, Texas Tech has qualified for

appear to get stronger this season on offense, with the return of standout players such as Heisman Trophy candidate Rickey Williams, top offensive linemen Jonathan Gray and Curtis Lowery and quarterback Rob Peters, who is finally healthy after missing two contests and playing through pain much of last year.
Making big plays has become commonplace for the 5-foot-9, 190-pound Williams, who is relishing the chance this season to step out of the shadow of 1998 Heisman winner and namesake Ricky Williams, who departed Texas for the NFL.
RED RAIDERS QUICK FACTS
1998 Record: 7-5, lost to Mississippi in Independence Bowl
**Key Losses:** WR Donnie Hart, DE Montae Reagor
Coach: Spike Dykes (12th season)
Key Returnees: QB Rob Peters, RB Ricky Williams, OT Jonathan Gray, DE Taurus Rucker, LB Kyle Shiholz, PK Chris Birkhalz
Outlook: Texas Tech returns plenty of key players from last year's bowl team, including the Big 12's best offensive player in RB Ricky Williams. However, the Red Raiders still must prove they can win big games to compete in the tough Big 12 Conference.
"He helped me make a name for myself," Williams said, who was often referred to as the other Ricky Williams last season. "He's a great running back, and I admire him for a lot of the things he did, but if I just do the things I'm capable on of the field, then people will forget about the name."
Last season, Williams certainly proved his capabilities on the field, finishing fourth in Division I-A rushing with 1,582 yards on the ground, a statistic that has made Williams a bona fide 1999 Heisman Trophy candidate.
Williams' durability is what impresses Dykes the most.
"He has carried the ball as many as 40 times a game and never one Monday he
has not practiced," Dykes said. "He has never told us he was bruised, beat up or tired. That tells you a lot about him."
On the other side of the ball, however, Tech must replace five defensive starters, including consensus All-American Monte Reagor. The Red Raiders will rely heavily on preseason All-Big 12 linebacker Kyle Shipley to counter these
losses, but even Shipley knows replacing a star like Reagor isn't easy.
"We will miss not only his abilities on the field, but also his leadership." Shipley said. "Every time we needed a big play, he would do it."

The Red Raiders will have excellent opportunities to make the necessary defensive adjustments due to a relatively

Cowboys to concentrate on keeping focus
Quarterback rebounds from frustrating season

Frustrating.
Oklahoma State quarterback Tony Lindsay can sum up last season in one word.
The Cowboys were a mix of tough defense and poor focus, coming up just short in three critical games and finishing the season at 5-6, 3-5 in the Big 12 Conference. Two of the games were decided in the last minute, once against Nebraska in Lincoln and against Texas in Austin.
For Lindsay, a junior from Denver, the season marked a stark contrast from his freshman year, in which he won Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year. Though he posted numbers similar to his freshman year, four loses in the team's first six games put a damper on his spirits.
"Everyone around me kept encouraging me and telling me to keep my head up, but I didn't listen. It made for a tough year," he said.
gets tough."
"Everything stems from your quarterback," Simmons said. "When you're a quarterback, you have to display confidence in everything, especially when it
Last spring, Oklahoma State coach Bob Simmons took Lindsay aside and told to him to keep an upbeat attitude but also to assume more a leadership role on the team.
Lindsay will need to be tough this season. The focus of the Cowboy offense, he is the not only the main Cowboy gun, but the only one with experience.
No other Cowboy quarterback has seen any playing time.
"I'm gonna have to tell the rest of the Big 12 to stay away from Tony Lindsay," Simmons said.
Lindsay can stay away from the rush by giving the ball to the coach's son, senior running back Nathan Simmons, and junior fullback, Jamaal Fobbs. Nathan Simmons rushed for 937 yards a year ago but could be hampered by offseason knee surgery, Fobbs and sophomore Reggle White might split time in the backfield, so coach Simmons
OSu
said that Fobbs might see time at slotback.
Though the skill positions have returning starters, the offensive line only returns two, and senior guard Adam Davis spent last spring rehabilitating his right shoulder. But with an average weight of 300 pounds, the line should be strong enough to develop a running game.
The strength of the defense is the linebackers, including two-time All-Conference Kenyatta Wright. He anchors a defense that returns five starters from a squad that ranked 29th overall in the NCAA and eighth in the Big 12. Seniors
The defense is another story.
Tarrel Knauls, Raymond Cato and Jack Golden make up the rest of an experienced linebacker core. But, coach Simmons was quick to shoot down any unearned praise.
"The word potential is thrown out there, but when the season comes around, they have to prove they are the best out there," he said.
Especially when Wright has not practiced with the team this fall because of a disagreement with coach Simmons. No comment was made by the coaching staff, except that they were hopeful Wright would be with the team as soon as possible.
The defensive line returns one starter, but Simmons isn't too concerned about that.
"One of the things that is said about Oklahoma State is that they're good against the run, bad against the pass," he said. "We have to get better in the secondary."
Two seniors, cornerback Evan Howell and free safety Adam Edwards are the returning secondary starters on a team that was No.10 in pass efficiency in the Big 12. Junior Alvin Porter, who attended junior college last year, and freshman Chris Massey will try to bolster the defensive backfield.
The Cowboys return both senior place kicker Tim Sydnes and sophomore punter Scott Elder, who were consistent last season. Fobbs was the second-ranked kick returner in the league last year and could earn time as punt returner, too.

**Outlook:** If a few things had gone the Cowboy's way last season, they would have been in a bowl game. Lindsay is poised for a huge year, and the defense might have one of the best units of linebackers in the Big 12. Wright is a terror, but he has yet to practice with the team. The Cowboys might surprise some people and finish second in the Big 12 South.
gram that could have won eight games last year. The task won't be any easier this season, as Oklahoma State plays six bowl teams, including trips to Lincoln, Neb., and College Station, Texas.
"We always talked about being the type of football team that could win on the road," he said. "Even on the road last year we had chances to win and didn't. We have to turn that around this year."
Lindsay remains the key to Oklahoma State's season. Even with the strength of the defense, he must direct an offense that came up short three times last season.
The solution to that? Lindsay's favorite word for the 1999 squad — focus.
"Last year, sometimes we were focused, sometimes we weren't," he said." But we have to focus this year. I know I say that a lot, but that's what we have to do win."

For many programs, a 3-8 season and a last place finish in the Big 12 Conference's North Division would have loyal fans and boosters calling for the coach's job.
Not so at Iowa State, whose administrators were so encouraged by last season's team that they gave Coach Dan McCarney a two-year contract extension.

Ames? Members of the Cyclone family, including McCarney, are convinced the program is headed in the right direction.
Getting the Cyclones started on new traditions was a common theme last season for McCarney, as he guided his team to victories against cross-state rival Iowa for the first time in 15 years and Kansas for the first time in 10 years.
"I think our administration, our fans and the people who support us know that we built a good foundation," McCarney said. "When you go to turn a program around, you have to stop all the negatives and reach some new solutions and start

an order for the 5-foot-8 Davis, it is all McCarney, his new contract and Iowa State fans have to look forward to.
New coach Kevin Steele tries to rejuvenate Baylor program
By Mike Miller sportswriter@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
By Mike Miller
It can't get much worse for Baylor.
After a 2-9 season, the Bears hired a new coach, revamped the offense and defense and are trying to start from scratch.
For a team that was ranked dead last in the Big 12 in rushing offense, total offense and total defense, starting from scratch is probably a good idea.
Coach Kevin Steele won't have too hard of a time starting anew. Baylor will be his first head coaching job after four years with the Carolina Panthers and six years at Nebraska. Though he maintains he wasn't forced from the Panthers' job, he probably was ready for a new coaching gig.
While acting as the Panthers assistant
coach, Steele got into a heated sideline argument with defensive end Kevin Greene, which ended with Greene choking Steele during a Panthers game.
a fresh start indeed. With smaller players even.
"That incident is not reflective of my character." Steele sa i d.
BEARS
"Actually, later we were sitting together on the bus when the bus driver came in, looked at us and started to say something when Kevin growled at him, 'Yeah it's us. Want to make something of it?' We went from there."
"All jobs are open," he said. "All the recruits will have a chance to play. We have to create an environment where everyone fights for positions. We're going to get the best players on the field."
On defense, Baylor returns nine starts, led by middle linebacker Rodney Smith. Smith, who has played under three different coaches, is ready for the changes Steele wants.
"For the last two or three years it's been very frustrating. I'm taking that frustration out on getting better." Smith said.
Getting better means improvement in all possible areas.
"We finished last in every type of category you can think of except punting," Steele said. "So I don't think it's going to be very hard to build confidence in these guys."
Confidence will be a necessity for quarterback Odell James. Without a central running back or any returning wide receivers, James is the key to the Baylor offense.
"Odell is just such a natural athlete and leader. He's important for us," said center Joe Jackson.
Patience also will be important. Previous coach Dave Roberts was gone after one year, and Steele will be under fire from day one. But after the incident with Greene last year, not too much rattles Steele anymore.

Retired Osborne still coaches
Nebraska great turns attention to younger kids
The Associated Press
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Tom Osborne still has the itch to coach. He's just not doing it on a football field anymore.
Osborne, who was enshrined Friday in the College Football Hall of Fame as one of the winningest coaches in Division I-A history, is using his retirement to teach at-risk middle school students in Nebraska through a mentoring program he created while he still was coaching the Cornhuskers.
"We feel that someone who affirms them, supports them, has a vision of what they might become and is there and is concerned is very important," Osborne said.
Osborne was inspired to begin the program after he saw more and more troubled players come into the Nebraska program. Some, like Lawrence Phillips, grabbed headlines with their problems. But others were heavy on emotional baggage and low on parental support.
"These were young people who were screened. They had decent grades. They were recommended highly by their teachers and coaches, so we were dealing with probably the upper 25 percent of high school graduates," Osborne said. "I began to realize a lot of things were falling through the cracks for young people."
The Teammates Mentoring Program, which Osborne founded in 1991, has chapters in 17 Nebraska cities and has a goal of having a presence in every school district
in the state.
While it may seem a daunting task, after crafting the Cornhuskers football program into a perennial powerhouse with a 255-49-3 record during 25 years, if anybody in Nebraska can do it Oshorne
PETER J. DANIELS
Osborne: Mentors students
do it, Osborne can.
People still regard him as a larger-than-life figure in Nebraska, where he won national titles in 1994 and 1995 and split the crown in 1997, his last season.
"So many people are willing to work with the program because of how highly people think of coach Osborne," said Shauna Valentine.
who coordinates the Lincoln chapter of the Teamsmage program.
Osborne began the program after asking players if they were interested in mentoring middle school children. Six years later, he expanded it to match students with adult mentors rather than football players.
"We didn't go to him with an idea. It was his idea, and he was doing it," Valentine said. "Beyond being the founder, he's been the cheerleader for the rest of us. He's the leader. He's the director in many ways, not only in the example that he sets but what he does."
Osborne, who along with his wife, Nancy, serves as a mentor in the program, said he hopes to reach 1,400 kids by next fall, with hopes of doubling the enrollment each year until the program reaches 10 percent of Nebraska middle school students, about 17,000 kids.
"We're limited only by the number of people who volunteer to be mentors," he said. "It's been probably the most meaningful thing that I've done."
That's saying something, considering Osborne led the Cornhuskers to an NCAA-record 25 straight bowl appearances, reached the 250-win plateau quicker than any other Division I-A coach and averaged more than 10 wins a season for 25 years.
Friday night, he'll be enshrined

Others to be enshrined include Division I players Al Brosky, Brad Budde, Bill Fraly, Randy Gradishar, Bo Jackson, Mel Long, Jim McMahon, Jerry Rhome, Jim Richter, Johnny Roland, Alex Sarkisian and Bill Stanflay. They were elected to the hall last spring and inducted during a December ceremony in New York.

Conference coaches tap Benedictine to win title
The Associated Press
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Benedictine has been picked by the Heart of America Athletic Conference football coaches to repeat as champions in 1999.
Coaches did not vote for their own schools.
With eight of 10 first place votes, Benedictine was followed by Lindenwood, while Baker and Missouri Valley tied for third and Evanuel placed fifth.
Lindenwood, (8-3, 7-2) lost in the first round last year to Southwestern in Kansas.
Benedictine, 8-1 in the HAAC and 9-2 overall in 1998, lost in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics playoffs in the first round to TriState in Indiana.
The poll's bottom five were MidAmerica Nazarenc, William Jewell, Graceland, Culver-Stockton and Central Methodist.
Nebraska coach Frank Solich recovers from rookie jitters
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — Frank Solich didn't forget the whistle this time.
Nebraska's second-year coach enters the 1999 season wiser — and less antyz — than last year, when he was so nervous he forgot to bring his whistle to the first practice.
One could forgive his jitters last season, when Solich replaced the legendary Tom Osborne, who retired after winning three national championships in his last four years.
Solich said he learned several things during his inaugural season that have caused him to tweak the way he does things.
"I didn't see an area that I felt that I really hurt our football team," he said. "But one thing that needs to improve is communication. Period."
While a slew of injuries to key players contributed to Nebraska's 9-4 record last year, communication problems plagued the team at times during games.
That, he said, was partly due to his trying to call all the plays after spending years high
above the field in the press box during games.
"We were meshing together a little differently than we had in
me on the field and coaches who had been out on the field up in the press box," Solich said.
There were times when plays were slow in being called and signals got m i x e d between play
LAKERSTONE
"When you send in a play, how that play ends up from what you said, to what the quarterback gets and the quarterback calls in the huddle and what you see run can be a far cry from what you expect when the ball is snapped," Solich said. "Some of that came down to inexperience on my part."
Solich said he will allow quarterbacks Bobby Newcombe and Eric Crouch — who both started games for the first time
in their careers last season more leeway in changing plays at the line of scrimmage.
Solich will continue his role as offensive coordinator but will not try to call every play.
"I will probably not coach as much on the field as I did last year," he said. "That will probably be appreciated by a couple of coaches."
He also will try to move around more during practices rather than concentrating on one or two positions on offense.
"Sometimes when you're a head coach and offensive coordinator you get so offensive-oriented that your defense kind of looks at you and wonders why you're the head coach," he said.
Solich said he's always willing to learn and change.
"I've never been involved in this game yet where I haven't constantly been in a learning process," he said. "We're always looking for better ways to do things. We've worked hard at criticizing ourselves as a staff ... to make sure we're giving our team the very best chance to win."

Tech's Ricky Williams prepares for the spotlight
The Associated Press
LUBBOCK, Texas — It could be argued that Texas Tech's star back runs in one of the biggest shadows in college football history.
plenty to distinguish a running back
He was the nation's fourth-best rusher last year with an average of 143 yards a game, usually
running back — unless he happens to play in the same conference as a H e i s m a n Trophy winner who is the most prolific Division I running back ever.
Williams: Looking to share name with other Williams
---
And, worse
yet, who happens to have the same name.
"I was probably asked about Texas' Ricky Williams at least once per interview," said Texas Tech's Ricky Williams said. "And I know that some people still think I'm the guy with the dreadlocks."
He acknowledges the questions and comparisons have rankled him.
"I want to make the other Ricky have to share his name
with me," he said. "It would be nice for him to be mistaken for me someday."
Now that his nemesis is in the NFL, there should be no more confusion. The other Ricky Williams is poised to become the top back in Texas, and possibly the nation. He's even on track to challenge the rushing record Williams set last year.
Entering his junior season, Tech's Williams has 2,476 yards, 214 yards ahead of the Longhorns star at the same point in his career but a long, long way from the record 6,279 career yards. The Red Raider must average 173 yards per game during his final two regular seasons to get there.
Talk of records doesn't seem to interest the Texas Tech star.
"I'll let other people have high expectations about my career, but my expectation is to play my very best game every game," he said. "The rest should fall into place."
Tech coach Spike Dykes said this is a key year for his back.
"The jury is still out on our Ricky Williams," Dykes said. "If you look at the legendary backs that have come out of Texas, his start is comparable to many of theirs and even more impressive than some. But it is just a start."

"He is a junior and these are the years when his legacy will
More than fame and Williams' Heisman hopes are on the line. Texas Tech's success this season depends on his ability to emerge in his own right.
"He will have to step up and play big if we're going to get off the ground," Dykes said.

do our part to make Ricky successful. "The offensive line has to come through."
Williams has spent the off-season working to live up to the expectations.
He put on 15 pounds — he is now listed at 5-foot-9 and 190 pounds — and took on a weightlifting and back-to-basics training regimen that included running hills while lashed to a car tire.
"I've really tried to work on my power," he said. "This year, I want to be able to run in such a way that even when the other team knows what is going to happen they are unable to stop me."

Coach Fuller joins upper tier after Vols' championship year
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — He doesn't have the national reputation of the best-known in his profession, the Bowdens, Spurriers, Holtzes and the rest of those guys.
No matter. Tennessee's Phillip Fulmer has the 1998 national championship trophy and they don't.
And the numbers say he earned it.
Fulmer was rewarded with a six-year, $6 million contract just before the Volunteers beat Florida State in the Fiesta Bowl to cap a 13-0 season, moving him into the upper tier of coaches in terms of salary. The national title put him there in terms of success.
Fulmer has the best winning percentage of any active college football coach (67-11, .859). His teams have won at least 10 games in five of his six full seasons, and he reached 50 victories quicker than any coach in Southeastern Conference history.
With the national championship, he matched the total compiled by all his predecessors at Tennessee. The Volunteers won their only other title in 1951 at the end of the fabled career of Gen.
"I'd like to think our program is in the upper echelon of college football. I'm more interested in what's happening today and tomorrow and how our team is going to do this year than I am with what we've accomplished."
Phillip Fulmer Tennessee Volunteer head football coach
Robert R. Neyland.
The university named its stadium after Neyland. They've already named a street after Fulmer, and if he keeps this up much longer, they may have to think of something else to name in his honor.
"I don't really dwell on that a whole bunch," he said. "Maybe someday you put your feet up and say it was a good run, but I'm not ready to do that vet."
Fulmer is an former offensive lineman, a solid, nose-to-the-grindstone kind of guy. He's not as funny as Florida State's Bobby Bowden or as quotable as Florida's Steve Spurrier or South Carolina's Lou Holtz, although he's gotten more relaxed with the coaches media duties during the years. What Fulmer does have is an
eye for talent, a relentless work ethic, the belief that what he teaches will work and the ability to convince his players of it.
"I'd like to think our program is in the upper echelon of college football," he said. "I'm more interested in what's happening today and tomorrow and how our team is going to do this year than I am with what we've already accomplished."
Nine players from the 1997 Vols team graduated into the NFL, including the No. 1 overall pick Peyton Manning.
If last year's effort is any indication, Tennessee isn't going away anytime soon.
"My rewards come from the kids, honestly," he said. "I know that sounds corny, but I like to see kids succeed and do well."
Colorado freshman lineman reconsiders after 3 practices

Freshman offensive lineman Dan Major, citing a loss of interest in the sport, quit the team Wednesday and returned to his

coach Gary Barnett said. "I don't think three freshman practices is a good indication. But we've left the door open for him to come back."
GU
Barnett said the 8-foot-6, 280pound Major, who wavered between Colorado and
Washington before February's signing day, did not ask to be released from his scholarship to transfer.
But if Major has a change of heart about playing and wants to transfer to Washington, that school might have second thoughts about accepting him.
In the wake of tampering charges levied by Colorado against former coach Rick Neuheisel and recruiting violations that resulted in Pacific-10 Conference sanctions against Neuheisel and his new school, Washington placed restrictions on any transfers involving Buffalo athletes to avoid the perception of a recruiting advantage.
"He said football wasn't fun anymore.I don't think three freshman practices is a good indication . But we've left the door open for him to come back."
Colorado's recruiting class, which lost 10 committed prospects after Neuheimer's exit, now stands at 14 scholarship freshmen and two junior college transfers — one of whom, Anwawn Jones, still is waiting to be admitted to school.
Gary Barnett Colorado coach
Meanwhile, Barnett said senior offensive lineman Ryan Johanningmeier, who broke his left wrist in conditioning workouts on July 30, will practice despite wearing a cast. Barnett predicted that Johanningmeier would be out of the cast by the Buffaloes' second game, against San Jose State on Sept. 11.
Alabama football legend dies after lengthy illness
Quarterback led 1934 team to national championship
The Associated Press
MOBILE, Ala. — Riley Smith, who played as quarterback to lead Alabama to a national championship in 1934, died August 9 after a lengthy illness. He was 88.
Smith converted from fullback after the 1933 season and played as quarterback for the Crimson Tide the next two seasons, earning All-America honors.
He won the Jacobs Award, given annually to the Southeastern Conference's top blocker, and is still regarded as one of the best blockers in school history.
He came back from an injury to lead the Tide to impressive victories over Georgia and Tennessee as a senior. Against Tennessee, he rushed for one touchdown and passed for one.
As a quarterback on offense, safety on defense, punter and field-goal kicker, Smith was a member of the Nationalai Collegiate Football Hall of Fame, National Football Foundation Hall of Fame, Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and Mobile Sports Hall of Fame.
Smith, who was from Columbus, Miss., was a good friend and teammate of the late Alabama coach Bear Bryant. Bryant also was a member of that 1934 team that won the national championship with a Rose Bowl victory against Stanford.
"Coach Bryant and Daddy would talk weekly when Bear was coaching and winning national titles at Bama, and he would always tell Bear that he wasn't throwing the ball enough," said Riley Boykin Smith, his surviving son who is commissioner of the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
The elder Smith spent three years in the NFL, but his career was cut short by a leg injury.
living the Redskins, he became coach at Washington & Lee. He left coaching for World War II and eventually settled in Mobile, where he worked in real estate. Services will be held at 11 a.m. Friday at the chapel of Radney Funeral Home in Mobile. Burial will follow in Pine Crest Cemetery.
In addition to his son, survivors include daughters Occlo Smith Malone of Birmingham and Sandra Smith Norton of Jackson. Miss.; one sister; nine grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.

Take KU off the shelf. Open the pages of this book, read, learn and enjoy.
Many students will learn as much outside as they do inside the classroom. But the unifying feature for every person who sets foot on Jayhawk Boulevard is the Hill.
Campus at night has a feel of quiet expectation. The buildings, classrooms, hallways and offices that house the living knowledge of the University of Kansas during the day sit silently like a book waiting to be taken from the shelf.
PATRONA DE MADRID
New feelings, inspired connections between disparate facts, intimate connections with unique people and creative approaches to old problems these are the joys of academia.
Every class, every professor, every graduate teaching assistant and every student has room in the margins for notes about life and KU's education.

This early photo of the University of Kansas was taken from the north and shows Spooner Hall on the left. Contributed photo
The campus is situated on a gently sloping hill, with the main building prominently positioned in the foreground. It features a large wooden structure with a steep roof and decorative trim, surrounded by a well-manicured lawn and several smaller buildings. To the right of the main building is another grand structure with a spacious courtyard and high windows, likely a library or an administrative center. The campus is surrounded by a series of trees and open fields, providing a serene environment.

By Derek Helms
The campus of the University of Kansas follows no set architectural plan, yet it has been called one of the nation's most beautiful by National Geographic. From the first day of class on September 12, 1866, when the campus consisted of a single building, to the present day, Mount Oread has developed into a mosaic of historic buildings and natural splendor.
Kansan staff writer
"In 1861, both houses of the state legislature passed a bill to place the University at Manhattan. But Governor Robinson, a resident of Lawrence, promptly vetoed it."
In his book "Across the Years on Mount Oread," Robert Taft, former professor of chemistry, said that the University nearly came to be under a cloud of purple and white.
"In 1861, both houses of the state legislature passed a bill to place the University at Manhattan," he wrote. "But Governor Robinson, a resident of Lawrence, promptly vetoed it."
Two years later, Lawrence defeated Emporia by one vote in the legislature and Mount Oread became the home of the University of Kansas, which opened in 1866.
The 11-room building that housed the University quickly became inadequate, and new Chancellor John Fraser commissioned the construction of a new building. At his own expense, Fraser traveled the East Coast to examine the most modern university buildings. After he returned, University Hall, later renamed Fraser Hall, was built. The building contained lecture rooms and a chapel.
Robert Taft
"The eastern influence is obvious," said Barry Newton, professor of architecture and urban design. "A very wide range of eastern universities were sampled."
former professor of chemistry
The majority of the limestone buildings that currently crowd Jayhawk Boulevard were built soon after.
Sponner Hall, now the home of one of the country's top museums of anthropology, opened in 1894. The hall was opened as a library and named for William Spooner, an uncle of former Chancellor Frank Snow.
In his long and complicated will, Spooner left $91,000 to the University — the largest donation ever made to a state university at the time.
The modern-day Stauffer-Flint Hall marked the western edge of campus in 1899. Before the School of Journalism occupied the building, it was named Fowler Shops and contained laboratories and a power plant.
Bailey Hall opened for chemistry students a year after Stauffer-Flint, in 1900. Before renovations, the building had 18 chimneys on the roof. Although the hall was officially named in 1938 for professor of chemistry E.H.S. Bailey, for years it was simply referred to as "Bailey's Barn."
The 'barn' was remodeled in 1951 to accommodate the School of Education.
Dyche Hall opened in 1903, and houses former professor L.L. Dyche's display of mounted animals, which gained national attention for the University at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. A popular myth says that one of the carvings decorating the outside of the building is the original representation of a Jayhawk.
Lippincott sits next to Dyche. Though renamed in 1979, the statue in front of the hall bears its original nameakes, James Green, who was the dean of law from 1878 to 1919. "Uncle Jimmy" Green is depicted greeting Alfred Alford, a KU student killed in the Spanish-American War.
increased so rapidly in the early 1900s that Strong Hall was built out of dire necessity. Strong Hall's three wings were completed between 1911 and 1923. Originally, the central portion was to include an elaborate rotunda but budget restrictions prevented it.
According to "Across the Years on Mount Oread," the number of students
Sandra Wiechert, author of "Historic Mount Oread; Catalogue of KU Landmarks," said that plans were changed for Strong Hall.
"The main entrance was originally to be on the north side of the building," she said. "But because Jayhawk Boulevard had become the dominate street on campus, they changed the entrance to the south."
A dramatic increase in the number of books acquired since the completion of the Spooner Library created the need for
Watson Library in 1924. The entry porch of the library was designed to resemble a renaissance bridge across a moat. At the request of alumni, the board of administration honored Carrie Watson, librarian from 1877 to 1921, by naming the building for her.
Hoch Auditorium opened in 1927 as a multi-purpose facility. The building contained a concert stage, lecture hall and a basketball court. The basketball court featured removable bleachers that could seat 3,500 people. Gutted by fire in 1991, the building was refinished and renamed Budig Hall, for former chancellor Gene A. Budig, in 1998.
IN THIS SECTION
The University's beauty isn't confined to buildings. Potter Lake was created in 1911 as a source of water in case of fire.
Potter Lake was both a popular stop after class and the source of tragedy. In 1921, The University Daily Kansan reported that at least six people had drowned in the water. After student requests, the University equipped Potter Lake with diving boards, dressing rooms and lifeguards, which were removed a few years later.

"No Whining part of provost's office solutions
By Derek Helms
Kansan staff writer
One thing about the University of Kansas Provost David Shulenburger is clear: he loves his work.
"This job is so interesting," he said. "I get to know almost everything that happens on this campus, and this is an extraordinary place."
Bombard him with questions and see what happens.
How has the University adjusted to the system of having a provost?
What about the KU's role in society?
Any thought about being ranked the eighth biggest party school in the country?
Shulenburger is happy to answer.
Any dislikes about the University?
Each question is met with the same welcoming eyes and amiable grin.
Shulenburger slouches back in his chair and crosses his hands while he answers the questions.
The relaxed demeanor of the former North Carolina farm boy is impressive considering that he is in charge of the daily operations of the faculty and the 11 individual schools of the University.
"This is a low-stress environment in a very high-stress office," said Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, associate provost. "And that is primarily due to the tone Dave sets."
"He has such a huge job," said Jenette Johnson, assistant to the provost. "He handles it in a relaxed way, yet you know he's working his tail off."
"He also has a great ability to delegate jobs to people he knows will get them done well," she said.
Brower Burchill, former associate vice chancellor with Shulenburger, attributes his ability to oversee the University to Shulenburger's
unique thinking process.
"He has this outstanding cracker jack mind," Burchill said. "He comes up with great ideas, and knows how to make them work."
One of Shulenburger's great ideas came to him when he began the new position of provost on July 1, 1996.
"I heard people complaining about how the old system worked," he said. "I told them that they had the opportunity to change that with the new provost model. So I had 'No Whining' buttons made up."
"Now people don't complain," he said. "They help come up with solutions."
Peter Thompson, former dean of the school of fine arts, said the buttons are just an example of the cooperative relationship Shulenburger shares with the deans.
"He is genuinely supportive and interested in all we do," he said. "You can tell that it hurts him when he can't provide something for us."
His face beams with pride when discussing KU.
Shulenburger speaks about the University's accomplishments with the same passion and conviction that a child tells his parents about summer camp. The topic causes him to set up straighter in his chair and lean forward.
"This is a first-rate university," he said. "The research and education coming from this school is phenomenal."
"Right now lives are being saved in Kosovo because of mine technology that was developed at the University," he said. "Folks in mathematics are reading currents in the body that will help sense seizures. I could go on and on."
So what aspect of Kansas is he most proud of?
"We honest-to-God change lives here," he said. "Every day."

Kansan staff writer
By Ben Embry
The unions are valuable resources for students, providing services such as a post office, snack bars, ATMs and Internet klosks.
"In many ways, the unions serve as the center of activity on campus," said David Mucci, director of the unions. "The unions have the programs and opportunity to bring students closer together."
The Kansas Union, completed in 1927, was built to commemorate students and faculty who were killed in World War I. Since then, the union has served as the downtown of the University of Kansas, catering to students' needs.
Both unions have rooms for meetings, classes, forums and other special events. They also house KU bookstores, where students can buy text books and other supplies.
The Kansas Union is the home of the Jaybowl, a recreation center with bowling, pool tables and video games.
The Burge Union houses Student Legal Services and University Career and Employment Services, where students can receive help with job searching, preparing a resume and scheduling interviews.
Student Union Activities, which provides social, cultural, educational and recreational programs for KU students, has offices in the Kansas Union.
SUA, a student-run organization, plans events ranging from movie sneak previews and celebrity lectures to live music.
"We are here to bring a variety of entertainment to the student body at the lowest possible cost," said Cameron Popp, SUA president.
SUA has eight committees that schedule events throughout the school year: feature and spectrum films, forums, live music, special events, recreation, fine arts and public relations.
Hawk Week, the week before classes start, is packed with SUA activities — live music, movies and beach parties — all of which are blessed by the absence of studying.
"This gives incoming freshman a chance to get to know each other and the University," Popp said. "It's a lot of fun."
This year's movie on the hill, The Matrix,
will begin at sundown Saturday at
Campanile hill. SUA will also have events,
such as a Jeopardy-style game show at
Alderson Auditorium throughout the week.

Official Hawk Week events include Beach- Boulevard, 8 to 10 p.m. tomorrow. Students can participate in sand castle building contests, play in a volleyball tournament, watch the KU Marching Band and enjoy tunes from Sons of Venezuela.

Summer in Europe provides real-life lessons
Edited by Derek Prater

When in Germany, drink the beer.
So say two KU students who traveled to Eutin, Germany this summer on an annual language institute trip. The students were part of a program headed by Frank Baron, professor of Germanic languages and literature.
Baron, a teaching assistant and 17 KU students returned in late July from the eight-week program that gives students the opportunity to learn German, experience European culture and earn language credit from the University of Kansas.
Keith Henderson, Topea senior, had an interesting adventure the first weekend in Germany
Baron took the students to Hamburg to acquaint them with travel and trains and to visit museums, a church and other sites of interest. On the trip back to Eutin, Henderson and two other students were separated from the group.
"They got off and switched trains, and we didn't "see them." Henderson said.
He ended up about 1,000 kilometers south of Eutin, so he and the other two students caught the last train of the night back to Hamburg.
"Of course it started raining," Henderson said. The weekend would be one of many learning experiences on the trip.
They went to a disco named Wall Street where the drink prices fluctuated on a big board like the prices of stocks on the big board in New York. When the bar closed at 4 a.m., they went to a park and slept in a tree.
By the end of the trip, Henderson said his
German had dramatically improved.

words we could understand," Henderson said. Erin Simpson, Lenexa senior, also learned something on the trip.
"My German improved considerably," she said.
Among Simpson's cultural experiences were a 20-hour train trek to see American musicians REM in Oberhausen and a trip to Prague, Czech Republic.
Baron said the group traveled to Berlin, Mainz and Munich, in Germany. The group also traveled to Prague, Vienna, Austria and to Budapest. Hungary, where Baron was born.
"The beer's cheaper than water there." Simpson said.
The students stayed in Eutin for about six weeks. living with families.
Henderson stayed with the Schonings, a couple in their late 50s. He's an auto mechanic and she's a housewife.
The arrangement is educational, Simpson said, but students are temporary guests, which can be a tenuous existence as they try to communicate with their families and understand what they have permission to do around the house.
By the end of the trip, Simpson said she was confident in her ability to travel, use the trains and ask directions in German. But, she said, menu reading remained a challenge.
And Simpson had some advice for students who travel abroad.

Roommates: can't live with or without them

Commentary
Those are the first, middle and last names of roommate hell.
Nagar (I mention his given first name earlier to push his buttons) and I lived together for four semesters.
Smelly socks, overflowing trash cans, a lack of general decorum — I blame it all on him.
And that's the thing about roommates. You love 'em. You hate 'em. You usually can't afford to live without 'em.
We had to live together our second semester as juniors because we were elected officers in our living organization.
We were thrust together by the winds of fate (Ragmar loves cliches, and I used to harass him about his favorite phrases).
Two guys, living in a group of 80 — we chose to live together for two semesters as sophomores as a kind of strange social experiment.
And we were forced to live together for a semester as seniors because no one else

would live with him (or was it me?).
At any rate, roommates can teach many lessons.
our many informative and friendly arguments about issues large and small.
Is rap really an art form? Does religion matter? Whose turn is it to take out the trash?
Ragnar did his Swedish heritage and Viking name proud, standing firm and butting heads with me in
When I dropped my arrogant facade long enough to admit I made a mistake or was wrong in an argument, he wrote the rare event on his calendar so that he would have proof.
When the trash mound above the can would no longer support one more Taco Bell bag, crumpled and carefully placed, one of us would break down and take out the garbage — three days later.
I can only hint how ugly his wooly socks, which he wouldn't wash for weeks, were.
I can, however, express the pride I felt the day I heard he was accepted to KU Medical School (despite his
questionable personal hygiene)
I find myself dialing the phone to reminisce about the days we lived together and to learn about his latest rock climbing trip — a hobby he dreamt about as an undergraduate and finally began pursuing in earnest a little more than a year ago. Occasionally we need for a brief. Oh!
We haven't lived together since December 1995. But some days I actually miss the guy from Lindsborg.
Occasionally we need for a beer. Or we get together with other friends at the bachelor parties and weddings that fill our lives.
Would I live with Ragnar again if he would have me? You bet I would.
I love him. I hate him. I couldn't have lived without him, smelly socks and all.

Veteran fine arts professor filling KU's dean vacancy
By Mindy Sigle
Kansan staff writer
PETROLE FLORENCE

As she brings the round, animalprint eyeglasses to her face with strong, graceful fingers, you can see that Carole Ross uses her hands often.
"I wanted to take piano lessons at the age of 3," Ross said. "I never wanted to play anything else."
She has known what she wanted to do with those hands for a long time.
Ross did learn to play. Now, the Pennsylvania native is the acting dean of fine arts at the University of Kansas.
"Juillard was very competitive," she said. "But it was an opportunity to study with the best music teachers in the world and the most outstanding talent in the world."
After Juilliard, she attended the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., and received a doctorate in musical arts.
Before working at the University, she taught at the Shenandoah Conservatory of Music, recorded a record for Capstone Records and performed with numerous orchestras.
Ross came to the KU as a visiting lecturer in 1970. In 1972, the University hired her as a full-time faculty member to teach piano in the department of music and dance.
"I really came to the University of Kansas to see the Midwest and had every expectation to return to the East Coast," Ross said. "But then I came to love it here."
In 1980, Ross was the director of graduate students in the school of fine arts. She has served as associate dean since 1983, except for one year when she served as acting associate vice chancellor for academic affairs.
July 1 was Ross' first day as acting dean of fine arts, following Peter Thompson's return to teaching in the department of art after 13 years as dean. Ross is expected to serve as acting dean for the 1999-2000 school year.
"It would be my preference that she stay in the job." Thompson said. "She would be a wonderful permanent dean."
Thompson has worked with Ross since she came to the University.
"Carole is extremely talented, intelligent and creative," he said. "It is hard to accomplish anything in the short time that she does have, but the school will be extremely well run. She knows the school better than everyone."
Because Ross had to make a quick transition to acting dean, she had to finish up her responsibilities as associate dean.
With her busy schedule, she does not have much free time; however, she did have time to travel to Singapore last year.
Academy of Fine Arts to teach piano.
Ross stayed 10 days, and, as a result of the trip, one of the students there is coming to the University. Ross will be teaching piano to one freshman, Tai-Tee Koh from Singapore, and two graduate students in the fall.
"The best times that I have had have been working with students." Ross said. "I love teaching and working with grad students."
Amber Heiserman, Lawrence junior, appreciates Ross' love for her students.
"She's really available to her students. She'll always give you great advice. She's always there for you, and, any questions that you have, she'll answer." Heiserman said.
Heiserman has known Ross for six years because her mother, Lynn Heiserman, is Ross' secretary.
In her new position, Ross has ambitions for the school.
"I want to move the school forward. I don't want to hold it in this transition period," Ross said.

Campanile bells toll for professor; concerts liven hill during semester
For 36 years, Albert Gerken has walked up the 70 steps of the Campanile to go to work. With a closed fist and active feet, Gerken presses the 53 maple keys and 27 foot pedals of the University of Kansas' carillon.
MARSHALL
"There is really nothing else like it," Gerken said. "The carilion is such an interesting instrument."
In 1963, a professor from the University of Michigan called Gerken about a carillonneur opening at the University of Kansas.
A carillon is a musical instrument with bronze, cup-shaped bells arranged in chromatic series and played from a keyboard. Carillons a range of at least two octaves.
"The earillon is quite complex," said Gerken, professor of music and dance.
The carillon in the Campanile has 53 bells ranging in weight from 12 pounds to 7 tons. Gerken said that the carillon's keys are pushed down with a closed fist for added leverage.
Gerken began playing the carillon as a graduate student at the University of Michigan. He and a friend were majoring in organ with aspirations to work in churches.
"Initially, we decided to study the carillon because many churches have one," he said. "Then we were simply taken aback by the sound."
"Obviously with that kind of weight you need some mechanical assistance," Gerken said. The provided assistance makes the carillon entirely mechanical.
When Gerken took the job, his time was divided between teaching music theory and playing the carillon.
Now Gerken teaches only carilon students. He requires that students have prior experience in music. Each student spends one hour a day in the practice room in the Campanile, with much of the practice time devoted to preparing for recitals.
Carillon recitals are scheduled for 3 p.m. Sundays and 8 p.m. Wednesdays when classes are in session.
Gerken estimates that 75 percent of his work time is devoted to playing, although when the carillon is heard tolling the every fifteen minutes during the day, it is most likely an automatic program.
Mark Holmberg, associate professor of music and dance, was appointed assistant University

carillonneur in 1976 after two years of study with Gerken.
"My interest in the instrument grew from listening to Professor Gerken play," Holmberg said. "He really encouraged me to take up the carillon."
As a member of The Guild of Carillonneurs in North America, Gerken also performs throughout the U.S. and Europe.
"I've played almost every major carillon in North America and Europe," he said.
Additionally, Gerken has published 60 or 70 pieces of carillon music, often adapted from other works.
Gerken said he still loves to play the Campanile's carillon.
"I would say our carillon is one of the top 5 in the country," he said.

KU museums peek into different worlds

By Lesley Simmons
Kansan staff writer
Stepping into one of the three main museums on campus is like stepping into another world.
Especially for the bus loads of schoolchildren swarming Jayhawk Boulevard and converging on the Natural History Museum, the Museum of Anthropology and the Spencer Museum of Art.
The Natural History Museum provides glimpses of worlds that are far more than centuries apart.
"My mother used to take me when I was little, and I like to go back to see what's new," said Christina Fletcher, Overland Park junior in communications
Fletcher said she enjoyed the live snake exhibit on the sixth floor.
Ryan Snodgrass, Kansas City, Kan., senior in English, praised the exhibit of dinosaurs and other fossils on the third floor.
"It's really interesting to go to a place that shows you what Kansas was like millions of years ago," Snodgrass said. "Once Kansas had giant tortoises and 13-foot bison. It's fun to picture these creatures walking around where your house is."
The museum's panorama of North America plants and ani-
stuffed animals from throughout North America. It was the main attraction in the Kansas Building at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, Kemp said.
The Museum of Anthropology, in Spooner Hall, will hold its 11th Annual Indian Arts Show from Sept. 11 through Oct. 24.
Last year, 4,000 people attended the show, said Maria Martin, arts show coordinator. The show includes events at Haskell Indian Nations University, the Lawrence Public Library and the Lawrence Arts Center. Martin recalled many pieces from last year's competition, including the ceramic "Acoma Parachuter" by Marvis Aragon of the Acoma Pueblo tribe.
MUSEUMS
Spencer Museum of Art is located on Mississippi Street between Memorial Stadium and the Kansas Union. It is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday; Thursday evening until 9; noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
The Museum of Anthropology is located on Jayhawk Boulevard southeast of the Kansan Union. It is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday; Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. There is a $1 admission fee for students during the Indian Arts show.

The Museum of Natural History is located on Jayhawk Boulevard south of the Kansas Union. It is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday; noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.
"It was a piece done by a young boy showing a man coming down from the air in a parachute," Martin said.

Now starring on the World Wide Web: KU Libraries' online catalog
Edited by Derek Prater
By Mindy Sigre
Kanson staff writer
The University of Kansas' nine libraries hold about 3,450,500 volumes, including an extensive collection of newspapers, magazines, maps and reference books. Navigating this information can be a formidable challenge.
Starting fall semester, the task will be made easier with an online card catalog, accessible through
the libraries web site at www.lib.ukans.edu. Also, access to the 100 different databases on library terminals has been refined to be more navigable. Most of these databases are searchable using computers connected to the University's server.
William Crowe, Spencer librarian and former dean of libraries, said the improved system, combined with help from librarians, made finding information less taxing.
"It's really rewarding when you see the look on someone's face when they finally find the information they needed," he said.
Nevertheless, as the libraries move from books to the virtual world, Crowe is concerned that students may lose the experience of actual contact with printed books and other printed materials available at the libraries.
"My fear in this long transition from traditional paper print into a
more digital environment is leaving people to say, 'I will search the web, find something and then I am done.' "Crowe said."
Because the libraries are advancing their technology, they are adopting new ways to teach students how to use the library system to its full capacity, including surfing the Web and using books.
Andrea Gilligan, Emporia junior,
said that understanding the library
system required an inquiring mind.
"Don't go in there acting like a know-it-all. Ask questions. They love questions," Gilligan said.
Cindy Pierard, reference librarian, has set up many ways that students can learn the system.
Every fall and spring semester, the libraries conduct classes that teach students how to use the libraries. However, these sessions cannot teach the students all of the technical aspects.
"The days of learning the entire
library system in 50 minutes are over, "Pierard said."
Schedules for library classes will be available on the Web site and posted at the libraries.
But since the classes cannot cover everything, the libraries have brochures, which explain to students how to use different search engines. Online tutorials and virtual tours also are available on the libraries' Web site.

Dean of architecture designs students' future
By Ben Embry
Kansan staff writer
John Gaunt sits in the architecture dean's office with his back to the windows, his body framed by a crisp summer sky on a rare 80-degree summer day. It's a sky that has changed often since Gaunt moved to Lawrence in 1994; turning hazy on sticky 90-degree days and dark and menacing during torrid thunderstorms.
It's an appropriate backdrop for Gaunt. Like the towering July sky, the dean of University of Kansas' School of Architecture and Urban Design has been through some considerable changes himself.
Gaunt, a Minneapolis native, has been a practicing architect for 28 years and a dean for the last four. Prior to 1994, he was with Ellerbe Becket, an international architecture firm, for 18 years, serving as the firm's president and CEO during his last six years there.
As Ellerbe Becket's CEO, he was the leader of a diversified design firm of about 1,000 employees in six national offices, including a design/build subsidiary. His job was primarily global marketing, which meant frequent trips to Asia, Europe and the Middle East to develop business relationships with international clients. He also was responsible for articulating the values, directions and objectives of the organization, and guiding its strategic development.
About five years ago, he chose to move on.
"I decided to take some time off and think about what I wanted to do next." Gaunt said. "Maybe I would write a book or sit on a mountaintop."
Six months later, Gaunt moved to a new home in rural Lawrence. As a professor, the setting was different, but not foreign. Gaunt taught at Columbia University before working for Ellerbe Becket.
"I've always had an active interest in
teaching architecture," he said. "My interest has always been there in terms of the combination of practice and teaching."
As dean, he has the responsibility for the strategic direction and management of the school. He is an administrator and teacher, bringing the school the benefit of his extensive experience in interdisciplinary professional practice.
In Gaunt's opinion, educators need to understand professional needs and should make changes while holding onto traditions that have worked well.
He believes that his students should take advantage of the entire university. That means attending performances at the Lied Center, viewing artwork at the Spencer Museum of Art and becoming acquainted with the university's library.
He thinks it's important for architects to have a broad-minded view of the world.
Gaunt's interest in architecture stemmed from his love of art and a regard for all things analytical and technical. After receiving his bachelor's degree in architecture from the University of Minnesota, Gaunt pursued graduate studies at the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied with Louis Kahn, one of the most influential architects of the 20th century.
Under the tutelage of Kahn, Gaunt learned that for architecture to be successful, it must be grounded in the existence of humankind.
"Each design is an exploration of human need and use." Gaunt said. "Therefore, nothing is predetermined stylistically; everything is very philosophically based and contemplative."
As a result, Gaunt said that there needs to be an unequivocal balance between theory and practice at KU.
In the meantime, he jokes, he'll be enduring another blistering summer in rural Kansas.

However, Ryan, Kansas City, Kan. senior, said that she would not be able to get away with this at home.

"My mom never allowed me to hang anything on my bedroom walls at home, unless it looked classy and neat," Ryan said. "When I moved up here, I could put as many ocean pictures on wall as I wanted."

Personalizing residence hall rooms proves to be an ideal way for many students to gain independence and privacy from their parents. With this sense of newfound freedom, students decorate their rooms with their own touches.
Although parents usually do not dictate how to decorate dorm rooms, roommates might. All of the rooms in KU residence halls, except Templin Hall, consist of a single room, which usually measures about 12 feet by 15 feet. Roommates often find themselves compromising about the wall and floor space.
Generally, dorm rooms are only furnished with a bunk bed, desk, chair, dresser and miniblinds. Anything else that the students want in their rooms must be bought with their own money.
"My roommate and I basically split the room in half so that our possessions did not get lost in each other's stuff," Ryan said. "My side of the room was decorated totally different than my roommate's side of the room, but we didn't care."
Emily Best, Wichita junior, said she wanted her room to look as if she were still at home.
"I like my room to look very homey." Best said. "I have drapes on the windows, and I bought carpet so that my feet wouldn't be cold on the tile floor. I also have a lot of pictures so that I don't get homesick."
While students are encouraged to dec
orate their rooms, they must remember to adhere to the safety codes. These codes can be found in the KU Department of Student Housing Handbook, which is distributed to all residence hall members at their first hall meeting.
"Candles, incense, toasters, and other cooking devices, except for microwaves, are not allowed in the dorms at all." Best said. "Also, anything that acts as an obstacle to doors is not tolerated for safety reasons."
Other rules require that straight pins be used instead of nails when hanging objects so that large holes do not damage the wood. If the maintenance department workers find that the surface is damaged at the end of the year, the students will receive fines and possible disciplinary action.
"We have to be careful about sticky-tack because it takes the paint right off the walls," Megan Heald, Lindsborg senior, said. "It is tempting at times to want to use the heavy-duty stuff
because most of the rooms have cinder block walls."
The housing handbook also states that decorations cannot consist of actual road signs and road construction barricades because it is against state law.
The only rule about having loud audio equipment and sound systems in students' rooms is that it cannot disrupt others.
"I had so much fun when I lived in Oliver Hall because the guys who lived in my hall did not care if I blasted my music and had the bass turned up," Jimmy Smith, Basehor junior, said. "In fact, my room was the place to go if you wanted to watch South Park or Ally McBeal on surround sound."
reggy Wright, owner of BorderLine, 820 Massachusetts St., said that her store was stocked with interesting home decor.
Students looking for decoration items can look for ideas in many Lawrence stores.

Dean of pharmacy fills technology prescription
By Carrie Petree
Special to the Kansan
The door to his office is always open. And it should remain open in the near future.
Jack Fincham, dean of the School of Pharmacy, was a finalist for the position of dean of the University of Georgia Pharmacy College. Fincham withdrew from consideration for the position in late July.
For Fincham the process was an opportunity to grow.
"I think that a lot of times you have to stretch yourselves and look at what you are doing, look at whether you are in the right place at the right time." Fincham said. "Just looking at other opportunities is one way to see whether I am doing that."
For now, Fincham is focusing on his career here. It is important, he said, that a university constantly strives to provide a better learning environment.
His past projects had been a lounge for pharmacy students in Malott Hall and the addition of six computers and pharmacy software to the lab where students learn how to dispense drugs. His current project involves incorporating more technology into the two major pharmacy classrooms in Malott Hall.
SCHOOL OF PHARMACY
"One of the goals that I have is that students can eventually plug a laptop computer into a port, which will allow a lot of good things to happen," Fincham said.

380 students enrolled in school
The school was founded in 1885
Notable graduate: Jane Siebert, a KU graduate in the 1980s,
was the first woman in the United States to be director of pharmaceutical services of a pharmacy chain
G. R. Gordon-Ross, Lawrence second-year pharmacy student, said Fincham's professionalism and open-door policy has given him character and opportunities.
"He has given me a lot of confidence in my abilities and helped me in any way that I have asked him to," Gordon-Ross said. "He is very well-known in the profession, and that will help as well, just being able to say that I worked under Dean Fincham. Indirectly, that will help us all."
Finchah is a student's dean, according to Larry Davidow, dispensing lab facilitator.
"He spends an unbelievable amount of time working to benefit pharmacy students," Davidow said, "In not all schools do students benefit as they do here."
This student focus and student orientation is what Davidow said he has gained from Fincham.
"he serves by example," Davidow said. Fincham said 20 years of teaching had
given him a student-orientated philosophy. After he graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1975, he was a pharmacist for five years and a pharmacy teacher at three other institutions for 14 years. He came to KU in 1994 as dean and as a professor.
He said that he had always enjoyed teaching and working with students and that students are why the University was here.
"It is the university's and faculty's job to do everything that they can to make that experience the best possible." Fincham said.
Fincham has attempted to unite the pharmacy students within the university, but also to unite them with the rest of the pharmaceutical field. He said the field was a small community within the United States, and he told his students that they were about to begin a 40-year relationship with the KU pharmacy school and the rest of the field.
Gene Hotchkiss, assistant to the dean of the school of pharmacy, said he has seen that long-term relationship in the making.
"Dean Fincham has allocated resources and provided opportunities to all pharmacy student organizations within the School of Pharmacy," Hotchkiss said. "The availability of these opportunities is an integral and important facet in their education and professional development."

Although most observatories are located in desolate places on mountaintops far from the light pollution of the city, KU students and the public need journey no farther than Lindley Hall to view celestial bodies at the Tombaugh Observatory.
Named after Clyde Tombaugh, an early 20th-century astronomer who discovered Pluto, the observatory houses a collection of telescopes that are available to the public after dark on the second and fourth Sundays of each month.
"Saturn is quite spectacular through the six-inch refractor telescope," said Torry Crass, a Phelps, Wis., sophomore and president of The Astronomy Associates of Lawrence.
The array of telescopes includes five eight-inch reflector telescopes, a 14-inch and a 27-inch reflector telescopes, and a six-inch refractor telescope manufactured in 1885.
"Even though this is the oldest telescope we use, it's the best for planetary viewing because of the quality of the optics." Crass said.
Two of the eight-inch telescopes are linked to computers that are programmed to track particular objects in the night sky.
The 27-inch telescope, which was built in the 1930s and is no longer in use, is housed in a wooden dome that stands nearly three stories tall.
"With the computerized telescopes that we use for our open house, we can easily see over 100 objects in a night of viewing." Crass said.
Among those objects are the moon, planets, star clusters, nebulae, galaxies and any comets if they happen to be passing by.
tions were probably the most frequently asked by amateur stargazers surveying the moon's surface.
Crass said that, unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to see anything the Apollo 11 astronauts left on the moon. He said Apollo 11 ques-
"The moon is a big object," he said. "Looking for a flag on its surface is like looking for a pin." But Crass said that most people were amazed by the clear view of the moon or the rings of Saturn on a clear night.
Most people who show up to stargaze are usually members of the associates, but Crass said that the public also can use the telescopes.
Steve Shawl, professor of physics and astronomy and director of the Tombaugh Observatory, expressed a desire to have more of the community use the observatory.
"The department is working hard to move the observatory to a better site," Shawl said. He added that a better site would be one with less light pollution, but he did not say where it might be located.

Engineering dean dedicated
Bad grade did not deter him
By Levi Chronister
Kansan staff writer
Even a zero on a test in a seniorlevel class couldn't shake Carl Locke's resolve to become a chemical engineer.
"I'm still sort of mad at that GTA," Locke said, "but maybe that was good for me."
Not only was it good for Locke, but it was good for the University of Kansas.
Locke, the dean of engineering, specializes in corrosion engineering and teaches a course about it each spring. He also is teaching an honors tutorial for the first time this fall on the role of engineering in society.
"He is very enthusiastic about his teaching and his work," Billy Price, KU senior, said. "He would always tell great stories about driving down the road and stopping to look at a corroded light pole or rectifier. He made the class fun and definitely heightened my interest. I would like more teachers like him."
Locke has his junior high and high school teachers, as well as his uncle, to thank for setting him on his career path.
After Locke took an interest in technology, Locke's junior high teachers suggested that engineering would be a good career, while his uncle told him that chemical engineering would be a more viable major than petroleum engineering.
This information, along with the persuasion of his parents, led Locke to earn a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering at the University of Texas at Austin in 1958.
"It was never an option to say, 'I'm not going to college,'" Locke said. "Less than half of my high school class went to college, so it wasn't necessarily a given. The influence of home had a big difference."
Although the decision to be a chemical engineer was not difficult, getting the degree was a hit harder
"Starting into sophomore and junior level classes, I had some uncertainties." Locke said. "I had internal questions whether I'd finish or not, but never the question of changing majors."
Locke entered the work force in the fall of 1959 with Continental Oil Company (Conoco) in Ponca City, Okla., and earned his master's degree in chemical engineering in 1960. After leaving Conoco in 1965, he returned to the University of Texas at Austin to work on his doctorate degree and graduated in 1972.
He met Don Green, chairman of the chemical and petrolium engineering departments, at Conoco, although they didn't work together. The friendship proved fruitful after Locke's 13 years as professor at the University of Oklahoma.
Green was the head of the search committee to find a dean of engineering at KU, and the two had been in touch since Locke had offered Green a position at the University of Oklahoma.
"There was not a candidate we were happy with after a year," Green said, "so (Locke) came, interviewed, did a good job, impressed the committee and was hired."
Not only was Green partially responsible for Locke's selection as dean, he also encouraged his support for KU athletics.
"Not long after he came to KU, we were in the Final Four and we played in Dallas," Green said. "A couple of my sons and I joined Carl at the Final Four and I think he became a Jayhawk fan at that point."
Locke shows his enjoyment of athletics by playing handball at 6 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
"He's an avid and dedicated handball player," Green said. "He goes at it on the court; he plays to win."
Competitive on the court, Locke spends much of his time off of it interacting with others and helping
"What I like to tell people when they ask me what I do is that I go to meetings," Locke said. "It's just the nature of the business."
the faculty
While Locke might try to downplay his importance as dean, Green has only positive things to say about Locke's time spent as dean.
"As a dean I truly believe Carl has the student interests in mind," Green said. "He's a strong advocate for undergraduate programs and doing right by the students. He's an extremely great advocate for the school of engineering and represents the University in an excellent manner."
Since coming to KU, Locke is proud of the additions to the educational capabilities at the University, including the expansion of the engineering library.
"The students might not view it this way." Locke said, "but it's made a remarkable difference."
Locke has had a part in an increase in the engineering equipment fee to purchase more up-to-date lab equipment and to finance the expansion of Learned hall. This would extend the building south toward 15th Street and would have more facilities and better-equipped labs.
Locke, a father of two, often speaks fondly of his two children. His wife, Sammie, was a school teacher.
"She hasn't taught since moving here to Lawrence," Locke said. "She winds up making the house run and taking care of the kidnaps."
That's a job in and of itself, as Locke and his wife have a son and daughter-in-law who live in Lawrence with their five children, and a daughter and son-in-law in Perry, Okla., who have two children.
"He's dedicated to his wife and children and has a lot of interaction with them," Green said. "It's clear when you talk to him that he feels very strongly about the well being of his family."

Graduate students lose StudEx seats
By Matthew Friedrichs
Kansan editor
Graduate students lost potential clout this summer on the Student Senate committee that determines senate agendas and has broad legislative powers at times when the senate is unavailable to make decisions.
The Student Senate Executive Committee voted 5-4 to remove the executive director of the Graduate and Professional Association — a non-voting, ex office member — and the chairman of the Graduate Executive Committee — a voting, ex officio member.
None of the current committee members were aware that the positions existed on StudEx until Marlon Marshall, StudEx chairman, introduced legislation to eliminate the positions because they are not listed as members of the committee in the University Senate Code.
attending a meeting to represent the two positions, Partha Mazumdar, chairman of the graduate affairs committee and Graduate and Professional Association director, defended the positions. He said the GradEx chairwoman had not attended because she was unaware of the opportunity.
No one on StudEx could remember anyone
Aravind Muthukrishnan, Student Senate finance committee chairman, said the position were unnecessary because graduate students have double representation — they're involved in regular committees and events, and they're involved in graduate committees and events.
Marshall said his main concern was getting the rules and regulations to conform with the code that Student Senate started the fall in agreement with the University Senate and the University Code.
By eliminating the positions, StudEx clarified discrepancy between its rules and regulations and the University Code.

University Theatre hoping for rocking season start
By Carrie Petree
Kansan staff writer
A modern-day Conjunction Junction and Sesame Street, the musical Schoolhouse Rock Live! will open the 1999-2000 University Theatre season.
The musical premieres Oct. 8 as the first of nine productions packed into the theatre's fall and spring semester season. Theatergoers can expect a school year full of a variety of plays, from musicals to comedies to dramas.
Delbert Unruh, University Theatre director, said variety is what he aims for every year when selecting productions. The theatre strives to produce a group of plays that will suit the wants and needs of many.
"We try to put a season together that has a number of roles and addresses a number of areas," Unruh said. "It is a reflection of our audience."
Unruh said the University Theatre attracts University students, residents of Lawrence and even others from the outlying areas. Some members of the audience attend because they are interested in a particular theme that a play addresses. And there are always the dedicated theatergoers, Unruh said.
But "Schoolhouse Rock Live!" is a play that encompasses it all.
Katie Ramsey, a Leavenworth senior who works in the Murphy Hall box office, said that the fall musical always has the largest audience.
"It draws more students, and it draws more of the Lawrence community," Ramsey said. "Schoolhouse Rock Live!" especially should also draw more families with younger children, because it is similar to Sesame Street. Both the parents and the children have an appeal."
With such a broad potential audience, the fall musical should have a solid turnout, Ramsey said. However, the main stage productions rarely sell out, so tickets usually are
not difficult to come by. In fact, she said, the last time that a main stage production sold out was a few years ago when "West Side Story" was performed.
That is no reason to postpone purchasing tickets until the last minute. Ramsey said, although students usually do just that.
"Students wait, typically until the last minute, and then they are usually disappointed with their seats," she said.
Ramsey recommends purchasing tickets for fall plays around the first of August and for the spring plays upon returning to school after winter break. And because of the expected popularity of "Schoolhouse Rock Live," Ramsey said tickets for that show should be purchased even further in advance.
For ticket information, call the Murphy Hall box office, 864-3982, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Lied Center chalks out elaborate programs for coming year
Kansan staff writer
By Levi Chronister
Although it's a part of West Campus and surrounded by asphalt and grass, the Lied Center is the heart of cultural and artistic events on the University of Kansas campus.
One of the first projects at the Lied Center this year is its annual free outdoor concert, at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 20 on the center's northeast lawn.
Performances for the center's 1999-2000 season include Donald Byrd's Jazz Train, Queen Bey, and famous musicals including Porgy and Bess and Annie.
"She's a great spokesperson for the region and art form," Christilles said.
Karen Christilles, director of public relations, said Queen Bey was at the first outdoor concert and was received so well by the crowd that she's been asked back.
The concert also will feature an informational fair from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.Activities will include face painting, free balloons and information on local arts organizations, clubs and businesses.
"It's a great way to showcase and kick off the season." Christilles said. "And a really relaxed opportunity for students to be introduced to the things available to them in the Lawrence community."
Donald Byrd's Jazz Train is
another of the center's projects this season. The work is a combination of jazz and dance and is an artistic collaboration between Byrd and composers Max Roach, Vernon Reid and Geri Allen. The production begin at 8 p.m. April 7 and 8, 2000.
"It's a work in three parts," said Karen Lane Christilles, director of public relations. "Each composer made a new composition (Byrd) took and set on his dancers."
The shows at the center will be two of only three with live music performed by the composers. The other live performance was the premiere of Jazz Train last spring.
The presentation of Jazz Train is a partnership between the center, the Gem Theatre Cultural and Performing Arts Center, in Kansas City, and the State Ballet of Missouri. The three organizations received a $131,945 Lilia Waiiace Reader's Digest Fund grant for the project last fall.
"We were fortunate enough to receive it so everything we dreamed about can come true," Christilles said.
Other components of the project include a five-part lecture series on jazz, a presentation on jazz in film and workshops for students with the dancers and musicians. Allen, Roach and Reid will perform at area jazz
clubs during the final week before the performances
Jazz Train is part of the center's second phase of Cultural Countdown series, which focuses on African-American influences in the arts. Last season's Countdown centered on Latino influence, while future programs will show Native-American, Asian-American and technological effects on the arts.
Other performances at the Lied Center during this season include the Magic School Bus,"Victor/Victoria, and the Barber of Seville. Many of these are parts of Lied Series, which provide patrons an easy way of buying tickets to performances with similar themes and/or styles, such as Broadway plays or family entertainment.
Tickets for performances at the center are available at the Lied Center, SUA and Murphy Hall box offices. They are generally $30-35 a performance for adults and half-price for students.
The absence of a permanent educational director has made scheduling and other activities more difficult at the center since June. Lane Czaplinksi left the Lied Center in June for a position at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, one of the oldest presenting organizations in the country.
Wayne Kruse, the Center's event coordinator, is filling in as acting educational director until
a permanent replacement can be hired. Kruse is also a public school teacher.
"We hope to have a replacement in place by the start of the fall season." Christilles said. "We were very fortunate this happened in the summer so (Kruse) could step in."
The center is also available for rental and other campus uses, which have included a presentation of MTV's Love Line, an Amway convention and convocation. The center has also hosted Student Union Activities events and the Rock Chalk Revue.
"I saw Love Line there and I we've been three other times," Lori Feldkamp, Effingham junior, said. "It's a great place to watch a performance."
The Center was opened Sep. 28, 1993, and was funded by the Lied Foundation Trust. Ernst F. Lied, who attended KU from 1923 to 1925, started the trust. The center is dedicated to his parents, Ernst M. and Ida K. Lied.
Student Senate, individual and corporate donors and grants from organizations such as the Kansas Arts Commission, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Mid-America Arts Alliance also fund the center. This funding allows for workshops by the artists as well as the half-price student tickets.

Remedies easily hide homesickness
Bv Lisa John
Kansan managing editor
Got the blues for home? Cheer up, it may get better sooner than you think.
Leslie Aust, a December 1998 graduate from Kansas City, Mo., remembers the pang of homesickness during her first days at college.
What helped was keeping in touch with old friends, as well as making new friends, she said. A social life took her mind off her sadness, too.
"I was in a sorority then and that helped a lot. There was always something to do," she said.
But soon, her homesickness disappeared, and then when her parents asked when she would be com
ing home, her response changed.
She laughed and said, "I'd say,
'Never! I'm out of there.'"
Andrew Beck, a Kansas City, Mo., alumnus, said when he first came to KU, it helped to call his sister, a student at the University of Missouri.
"I probably talked to her more than to my parents — she knew what I was going through," he said. But Beck's homesickness was short-lived.
"I had grown out of it by the end of my first semester," he said.
Kyungmee Choi, a graduate student from Seoul, Korea, found unique ways to alleviate her home-sickness.
"To cook my own food, ordinary homemade food that I'm used to, helps," she said.
Describing herself as a "joker," Choi said she likes to have fun with her friends — one in particular for whom she's come up with a nickname.
"I have a friend — he's American — but I call him a 'mongmong-ah' in Korean, and that helps," she said.
But what's a 'mongmong-ah'?
"It's a dog's bark," she said. Although her friend has since moved to another city, the joke lives on.
"I call him up and say how is my 'mongmong-ah', he be barks, and I bark back," she said.
"We laugh. You don't feel the loneliness when you're cheerful like a child."

Journalism dean revolutionizes school
By Phil Cauthon
Kansan staff writer
After his early morning run, the dean of the University of Kansas School of Journalism flips on some classical music and peruses the Laurence Journal-World, The Kansas City Star and The New York Times.
But that is not the first place Jimmy Gentry gets his news.
Every day he gets on the Internet and goes straight to the Drudge Report — the site that first broke the Lewinsky story and that many journalists respect little more than supermarket tabloids.
"I don't necessarily believe him," Gentry said, referring to the site's namesake, Matthew Drudge. "But I know I'm not always going to get the standard stuff."
Gentry's aversion to the standard stuff is reflected in the changing face of the school. Since coming to the University two years ago, he has helped revolutionize the school's curriculum to prepare its students for media convergence. Starting in Fall 2000, students will be able to survey newspaper, magazine, radio, television and Internet journalism as well as advertising.
"The school wasn't preparing well-rounded students but
pigeonholed them into one field," Gentry said.
Career opportunities resulting from the new curriculum might include newspaper reporters who shoot video clips to post with their stories on the Internet or television studios that work out of a newspaper office, he said. But Gentry isn't waiting for the professional world to create standards. His proactive vision is to integrate the University's student-run news formats — KUJH-TV, KJHK Radio, the Kansan and its online component, www.kansan.com — as soon as possible.
The Digital jayhawk, www.digitaljayhawk.org, is an experimental platform for just that.
KU has a diverse following — whether it be alumni, sports fans or current students and faculty — that justifies creating a unified news medium to function as both a service and as a learning tool. Gentry said.
He said that integrating KU's news formats would require cooperation between the various branches of faculty, and he views his job as the school's mediator.
"I don't run this place, and I don't really control anything here," he said. "My job is to get everybody figuring out what our focus is and to work together to achieve common goals."
Rick Musser, professor of journalism, said that Gentry's leadership had put the University far ahead of its collegiate peers. Musser and Gentry both have traveled to newspapers that are experimenting with media integration, such as the Orlando Sentinel.
"The distinctions will blur between newspaper, broadcast and on-line reporters," Musser said. "We need to be able to train people to be reporters who can use various media as the tools of the trade."
Gentry came to KU after serving as dean at the University of Nevada-Reno for five years. He had also run the copy desk at the University of Missouri's student paper in the late '70s and was a faculty member there for 16 years.

Now Gentry and his wife, Mary Beth, are fully adjusted Jayhawks with basketball season tickets to boot. Their daughter, Kerry, is a KU junior sampling the richness of the University, he said.
Despite his propensity toward being on the cutting edge of journalism, Gentry does not deny the value in some of the standard stuff. The soul of the school
— writing, reporting and editing — will remain. But beyond that, who knows, he said.

Spooner Hall facelift requires art and masonry
By Lisa John
Kansan managing editor
When William Brown Spooner died in Boston in 1880, among the assets he left to his wife were his horses, harnesses, carriages and his robes. To the University of Kansas, he left Spooner Hall.
The $91,000 bequest to the University financed construction of the building that bears his name, as well as the first chancellor's residence. When Spooner Hall was dedicated on Oct. 10, 1894, the University was 28 years old and there were only five buildings on campus.
Today, after 105 years of enduring Kansas weather and temperatures, Spooner is getting a facelift.
1
Klp Davis, project manager of Kissick Construction's masonry division, Kansas City, Mo., said the work is necessary to save Spooner Hall.
"The building had shifted about four to five inches, making it structurally unsound for the entrance," he said. "We're taking the porch down. Then we'll survey the building to see what needs to be done."
Davis said that structural concrete beams and columns would be added to reinforce the structure. Originally, the corner columns that supported the front of the porch roof were made of solid sandstone. These are being removed, Davis said, and replaced by concrete columns. The fronts of original sandstone will be nut over the concrete.
Throughout this project, it's of utmost importance that the historical architecture be retained, Davis said. "We want it to have as close a historic resemblance as possible."
Making the work a little more difficult, Davis said, is that the front door of the building had to be accessible to the public during the reconstruction.

"That makes it extremely interesting." he said.
Bud Ballworth, assistant director for Design and Construction Management, said the $330,000 project is
in large part a stone restoration project.
"We will go in and remove all the stonework on the porch area, and then we'll do structural rehabilitation." Stallworth said.
The stones will be cleaned and repaired before being replaced.
This is where Gary Keshner's company, Creative Sculpture and Restoration, Kansas City, Mo., comes in.
Keshner said it took awhile to find the perfect match for the two shades of sandstone restorative material needed. But once located, the work began. After the sandstone blocks have been removed from the building, workers remove damaged and worn areas of the original sandstone. Then, mixing water with a powdered sandstone material, they spread the moist sandstone mixture on the area, replicating the original shape of the stone. They let it harden and then cut decorative grooves that match the original intricate designs.
Lloyd DuPont, Lees Summit, Mo., is one of those who is renovating the stonework. She said the project is running smoothly.
"I think it's been pretty predictable, which is unusual for such an old building," she said.
Keshner said he looked forward to working on the well-built Snooner Hall each day.
"It's not that it's such a challenging building," he said,
"It's a fun building."
Davis agreed. He has worked with Keshner on other buildings, such as the chapel at Baker University and the Muehlebach Hotel in Kansas City. Like those, Spooner Hall has a design all its own.
"Something this unique we only get to work on about once a year." Davis said.
Mark Reiske, production manager for Design and Construction Management, remembers when Keshner's company repaired the lion heads and terra cotta on Strong Hall in 1994. The repairs are still in good shape after five freeze and thaw cycles.
"We get up on Strong once a year to make sure the roof's OK, and a lot of the work he did is up high there, and we don't have any visible damage." Reiske said.
Stallworth said the work on Spooner began in July. The estimated contractual obligation for completion of the project is 150 days. Stallworth said.

Rec services gives students lots of options places to play
By Jessica Dawes Special to the Kansan
You don't need an expensive private gym membership to battle the infamous "freshman 15."
Recreation Services offers University of Kansas students, faculty and staff a wide range of fitness programs comprised of intermurals, sport clubs, aerobics classes and personal trainers.
The KU FIT program offers more than 60 non-credit aerobic fitness classes and costs $60 a semester. Between 300 and 450 people enroll in the KU FIT program each semester. Participants may attend any of the classes and may join the program at any time for a prorated cost.
"The goal of KU FIT is to provide quality fitness instruction in a safe, fun and friendly environment," said Michelle Reiter, interim fitness director.
Two years ago, KU FIT added personal trainers to its lineup. There are now five trainers. KU FIT enrollees may meet with a personal trainer three times a week for no extra charge. Additional sessions cost $7 per hour. Reiter said that 75 percent of KU FIT participants meet with personal trainers.
Recreation Services offers 26 intramural sports. Each sport is organized into men's, women's and co-recreational divisions. Interested students should attend informational meetings at the beginning of each sport season. Participation fees vary.
"I played three intramural sports last year, and they were fun and well-organized," said Nhan Nguyen, Wichita senior. "It was casual, and I played when I wanted to."
Intramural programs focus on participation and welcome all skill levels. Most teams require little or no practice time.
"Our goal is to offer at least one intramural sport that appeals to every individual every year," said Jason Krone, intramural director. "We want to provide an opportunity for everyone to play and enjoy themselves."
There are more than 25 sport clubs at KU. The sport clubs can be competitive, recreational or instructional in nature.
"The sport clubs offer a level of competition between the intramural and intercollegiate level," said Mary Chappell, director of recreation services. "The clubs are good for those who have participated competitively in high school and want to continue on a competitive level."
When an individual wants to start a club, a meeting is held to determine student interest. Club success is determined by student enthusiasm.
"I remember when the first rock climbing meeting was held," Chappell said. "We thought that no one would come, and 150 people showed up to rock climb."
Experience is not necessary for club participants.
"Some athletes will try a sport like rugby that they hadn't played in high school and find that they're good at it," Chappell said.

Wandering the Web
By Jennifer Roush
jroush@kansan.com
Kansas columnist
This week's columns come in two flavors—On The Hill and Off The Hill. Since you're reading the On The Hill section right now, it's a pretty darn good guess that this column is the On The Hill version. These are the last two Web columns I'll be writing for the Kansan, as I'll be copy editing and writing editorials this fall. However, Wandering the Web will continue as it did last semester, as a front page feature each Friday. Keep your eyes peeled for more Internet goodies every week.
All of the pages listed here will give you more information than you could possibly ever need about the University of Kansas, its student body and online community. So, without further ado, here are my Internet picks for getting around on the hill.
www.ukans.edu
This is the official University of Kansas Web site. It contains anything and everything you could ever need to know about good old KU, including student life, links to the various schools and departments within the University, and a visitors guide that'll help your parents get around when they come to visit for Parents'
Weekend. The site is presently being redesigned, and there's a link to a prototype of the new site. Follow the link, and then click on the feedback link to tell the KU Web administrator what you think of the new site.
www.digitaljayhawk.org The Digital Jayhawk is a first-of-its-kind multimedia online community for the
P.
University of Kansas and its alumni. First proposed by Gary Hawke and executed in large part by professional-in-residence
Jennifer Roush
Kansan columnist
Christopher Ryan, the Digital Jayhawk contains links to all the media outlets on campus, such as the Kansan, KUJH-TV, and KJHK-90.7 FM.
www.ukans.edu/kucia
Although the KU Campus Internet Association's page is really a link on the official KU home page, I've listed it here because it's a bit hard to find. It contains a link to what I think must be the coolest thing in the ukans domain: student web pages. Type this URL into your browser, then follow the link to student web pages, and prepare to be amazed at the inspired
strangeness that may have come from the mild-mannered guy who lives down the hall from you.
www.kusports.com/basketball
Nothin' But Net is the Lawrence Journal-World's page devoted entirely to men's basketball at KU. Get the latest information on recruitment, statistics and schedules here. There's a trivia game to test your knowledge of KU hoops, and a forum where fans can discuss KU basketball 24 hours a day.
www.angelfire.com.ks/TemplinRevolution
I debated whether to include this link, but I think it's important to note how a small group of inspired, dedicated individuals can actually affect change at the University. Besides, the site is really funny. (You have to appreciate any site that shows an animation of Templin Hall exploding in a giant mushroom cloud!) The History and Purpose links explain what Templin Revolution is and how it got started, and you can e-mail the group to order a t-shirt emblazoned with their logo and a picture of Templin going up in smoke.
Unforgettable experiences abroad conjure a Russian state of mind
Roush is a Lawrence senior in journalism.
Empty history books
Full of idealistic dreams,
I wish I could explain —
America isn't what she seems.
I never felt at home
Until I completely left it behind
A mental battle not to lose
This Russian state of mind.
— "Remembering Moscow" 1998 Sometimes there is a split second when I awake from a dream and don't recognize my own bedroom. The surrealism of that moment is compounded after I dream of my friends and experiences in Russia and then awaken to American surroundings.
I returned home from Russia about a month ago, and these dreams are still a common occurrence. I'll admit, sometimes I get quite emotional when reality sets in. I know my day will consist of preparing for my new life at the University of Kansas instead of a leisurely walk along the Neva River in St. Petersburg or a trip to Red Square in Moscow.
I realize how much I miss visiting famous museums, touring old czarist palaces, dining on Russian cuisine and speaking the Russian language. I simply miss the whole experience of living abroad.
My first trip there was six weeks last summer; this summer I spent seven weeks. The time I spent was long enough to really adjust to the Russian culture and to develop my own little niche. Both times, I became so comfortable with my new lifestyle and friends that leaving was truly painful.
Commentary
The strange mix of emotions that encompass the vivid dreams, dubbed "reverse culture shock," is common for travelers when returning to their homeland after a journey into another country and lifestyle.
Jet lag is just the beginning.
Jet lag is just the beginning.
I did not expect this type of cultural awareness when I returned to Iowa from my first trek abroad. Family and friends suddenly felt like strangers when, in actuality, I was the one who was strange — I was the one who had changed.
To make matters worse, I really did not want to leave Russia. I fell in love with Russia, but America will always be my motherland.
To make matters worse, I really did not want to leave Russia.
Now, I'm left with many memories. Anyone willing to listen will automatically be forced to hear a 20 minute story about the tumultuous Russian economy, cool discotheques, beautiful sights, unique customs and almost any other subject until they run away screaming.
Those close to me now see new habits emerging that previously never existed. I get cold almost immediately when in an air-conditioned place because this luxury is rarely found in Russia, and I eventually grew accustomed to the heat.
I now dress more like a girl after picking up on the Russian women's keen sense of femininity. (I still have an abundance of confidence, though, which is definitely not common among the females there.)
Also, the great American love
"I fell in love with Russia, but America will always be my motherland."

Kansan columnist
for fast food now seems awkward to me. Don't get me wrong. I'm a punk college kid; I'll always be loyal to Jimmy John's subs, mushroom pizza and diet cola — but I just can't break my craving for borscht, plov, tea and an occasional Baltica beer.
Now, please don't misinterpret me and think that I feel Russia is superior to America. Both countries deserve praises to be sung and faults to be corrected. In fact, there were many times that I would look out the window of my apartment down onto Nevsky Prospect and wish to see a familiar face walk by or to catch a surprise visit from an American friend. I had dreams of America in Russia to mirror the ones that now entertain my nights.
The longing to be in both countries is an insatiable need that perhaps will haunt me for the rest of my life — and do I ever love it.

KU dean devotes life to social work
Weak, poor need more attention care from society
By Jessica Dawes
Kansan staff writer
Ann Weick knew that she was cut out for a career in the socialwork field at an early age.
"I knew social workers growing up, and they were very inspiring to me," said Weick, Dean of the School of Social Welfare.
A native of Portland, Ore., Weick was certain that she wanted to be a social worker after her sophomore year at the University of Oregon, when she was a student intern at a rural public welfare office.
She earned her master's in social welfare from the University of California-Berkeley and a doctorate in social policy and planning from Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass.
Weick is a busy person. As the dean of one of the top social welfare schools in the country, her duties are not limited to overseeing and supporting the educational process for students. Besides developing new programs for the school, Weick also feels that it is important to develop and maintain a strong relationship with the community.

"Dean Weick has been instrumental in Lawrence in providing a forum for different groups in the community to talk to each other," said Jean Peterson, associate professor. "Her approach is getting people to talk, understand and appreciate one another."
And Weick does understand people.
"We must find the strengths that people have that will lead them out of problems." Weick said.
This theory led Weick and her colleagues to formally introduce the strengths perspective at the
WHITE HALL
SCHOOL OF WELLAPPS
School of Social Welfare more than 15 years ago.
Originally, the strengths perspective was applied to those with severe and persistent mental illness, but has been applied to every aspect of social work since.
"We developed the strengths perspective because sometimes social workers get so caught up in looking at human problems, and when you focus too much on a problem, you miss the solutions," Weick said.
Reaching far beyond the KU community, the strengths perspective is recognized nationally and at other universities.
"The strengths perspective has resulted in KU having a unique niche and way we're thought about," said Peterson.
The strengths perspective is a valuable tool for social workers in the professional community as well.
"Even when people are very sick, I still try to get them to focus on their strengths and see what their life has meant," said Ann Kirkpatrick, a hospice social worker who received her master's in social welfare from KU in 1997. Interaction with students is important to Weick.
Norella Munoz, Topeka senior in social welfare, met Weick for the first time at a "Students Concerned About Retaining Ethics" meeting and remembers Weick greeting and talking with the students who hadn't attended before.
"She made an effort to learn names and get to know a little bit about each person and their interests," said Munoz. "To this day, she calls me by my name when she sees me."
In addition to concentrating on students, she looks for solutions to social problems that she feels are in need of immediate attention.
But Weick admits that there is enough competition for the most pressing issues in social work.
"It is important to be concerned

about the most vulnerable people in our society," said Weick. "We need to focus on the very poor, those with persistent mental illness, the elderly and children."
Social work is a constantly evolving field that has continued to fascinate and challenge Weick throughout her career.
"Social workers are prepared to work with a wide variety of areas of human need, said Weick. "We have a leading-edge profession and must deal with new areas of need as they emerge."

Kansan staff writer
'Agent of peace' handles conflict constructively
Robert Shelton is the "agent of peace," or ombudsman, for the University of Kansas. His job is to attempt to ensure that staff, students and faculty members receive fair treatment from the University.
Shelton works in a small office in Smith Hall that remains austere even though it is decorated with mementos. Over his window it a prism, a gift from a former student. On his walls he has a paper cutting he got in China and a painting he received from an Israeli woman who visited his classes to speak about non-violence. He also keeps a rubbing made by his wife, and a carving of two pine trees his nephew made to remind him of their camping trips in Colorado.
Kellie Harmon, assistant to the ambudman, has worked with Shelton for six years. He likes knowing he provides a neutral, confidential place for faculty, staff and students, she said.
Shelton's job allows him to work outside the usual administrative procedures, solving problems that the University's normal administrative practices cannot resolve. Shelton, a professor of religious studies for the past 32 years, became bumdusman 14 years ago.
He came to Lawrence to teach at the Kansas School of Religion before it became the University's religious studies department and served as the new department's first chairman. Shelton said that his work as department chairman prepared him to be ombudsman.
"The department chair has a minimum amount of power to make people do things," he said. "I helped people work together."
When people come to see Shelton now, he does not have administrative power to make things happen.
Instead, he mediates between conflicting parties as an impartial agent for anyone who has trouble following the University's normal grievance procedures.
"Anyone can turn to my office," Shelton said. "I can approach anyone it is reasonable to approach."
Shelton is the only university
ombudman in Kansas, but
Wichita State University has a
similar program for students.
The ombudsman's office sees about 400 people a year — 85 percent of them students. Some people only need information or a referral to an administrative office. For more complex problems, Shelton may spend months acting as a neutral mediator. "It takes up almost all of my time." Shelton said.
He still makes time to teach one class a semester. In the spring he plans to teach the class "Human Conflict and Peace," a course he said grew out of his work as ambudman.
His studies have also taken him to China. In 1978, China had just begun to open up and allowed American farmers to visit. One of Shelton's former students organized a Kansas farmer's tour, and Shelton went along. The group, which included farmers, medical personnel and educators, stayed in both cities and villages.
Many of the skills that Shelton uses in his job today were learned through his experiences traveling. In 1960, he and three classmates drove from Geneva to Switzerland in a Volkswagon bug. The trip lasted more than three months. "We stayed in caves, people's homes, sometimes hotels," Shelton said. "That was my first experience seeing how different people lived." That lesson in understanding is still with Shelton as he serves as the "agent of peace" for everyone at the University.

Dean nurtures allied health, nursing, children
Stephanie McCarty Kansan staff writer
Driving race cars appeals to Karen Miller. If she could do something besides be a dean, that would be it.
"I would go to a race car driving school," she said. "They do have those, you know."
But because Miller happens to be the only person who is dean of two schools at the University of Kansas, she finds that there are simply not enough hours in the day to take racing lessons. She doubles as the dean of allied health and of nursing at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
What is life like as a dean? In a word: busy. Miller attends meetings from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. five days a week. In the evenings, she goes home to her three children, Megan, 22, Nicolas, 11, and Milli, 1.
"I just adopted Meili from China in March." Miller said. "Because families in China are
only allowed to have one child, they prefer to have little boys. Lots of little girls are abandoned every year."
In fact Miller's younger sister also adopted a girl from China.
"The girls will be able to grow up as cousins," Miller said.
Miller became the dean of nursing in 1966 and, in 1988, was named dean of allied health.
"Before I received the deans positions, I ran operations as vice president for patient care at Denver Children's Hospital," Miller said. "In a lot of ways, being the dean for nursing and the dean for allied health are quite similar."
Miller said that it is the dean's responsibility to ensure the quality of educational processes in the schools and to facilitate adequate resources.
"I also help to raise money for the schools and for student scholarships through private funders, such as friends and alumni of KU," Miller said.
resume. Miller received a bachelor's degree in nursing from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. She received her master's degree and doctorate in health care systems at the University of Colorado.
Like most deans, she has an impressive
She served as a board member for the National Institute of Nursing Resources and was elected as a fellow in the American Academy of Nursing.
Sanchez said that Miller often buys bagels for everyone in her office.
"Karen Miller is a very good role model for students in administration or nursing leadership positions," said Sandi Sanchez, executive assistant. "Besides being highly motivated and full of energy, Karen is upbeat, positive, and a joy to work with."
"It is such a pleasure work with such a talented faculty and city civic leader," Miller said. "I have also met some of the most exciting and gifted students here. They definitely make life very interesting."
Miller said that because she likes the students, it makes it hard on her when she must face difficult student situations, such as when the expected growth hits the School of Nursing and the School of Allied Health in a few years.
Miller hopes to see both the School of Nursing and the School of Allied Health ranked high nationally. She also wants to double the amount of research dollars that come into the school.
"Health professions are going to be one of the most sought-after careers," Miller said. "They are predicted to be in great demand due to the rapidly growing population."
"Over the last two years, I've been helping to raise money for the new school of nursing, which should be completed very soon," she said. A day in the life of a dean and mother can have its time restraints.
"But I still want to race cars," Miller said. "Or maybe be a senator."

Lightning rods strike at building safety
By Lisa John
Kansan managing editor
It wasn't always that wav.
When lightning strikes, people listen. But at KU, they don't necessarily worry.
I wasn't always that way.
Mike Richardson stood on the rooftop of Wescoe Hall on a recent winter summer day. Small, pointed lightning rods lined the flat roof at 30-foot intervals and topped each rooftop protrusion, all connected by a heavy metal cable that runs down to the ground.
Looking westward toward Budig Hall, Richardson, director of Facilities Operations, said he remembered all too well when he learned that Hoch Auditorium was on fire.
This lightning rod is one of dozens on top of Wescoe Hall. After Hoch Auditorium burned after a lightning strike in 1991, Regents schools across the state stepped up the program to add lightening protection to campus buildings. Photo by Lisa John/KANSAN
It was on a rainy Saturday in June, 1991 that his phone rang.
"I knew we were in trouble," Richardson said.
Even before the lightning, Hoch had three strikes against it; no lightning protection, dry timbers and no sprinkler system.
Back then, only about 25 of the buildings at the University of Kansas had lightning protection, said Warren Corman, University architect. At the time of the fire, Corman worked as an architect for the Board of Regents.
Corman was with his wife at the First Presbyterian Church when he saw a dark cloud of smoke coming from campus.
"Somebody came up and said that Hoch was on fire," Corman said. "But we didn't come up — it was raining like a son of a gun."
Not even the heavy rains could quench the fire.
"By nightfall, the whole building was gone, except for the front wall." Corman said.
After the fire, the Board of Regents ruled that all the Regents' schools in Kansas should have lightning protection on all of the key buildings, Corman said.
That's when he decided he'd better learn more about lightning rods.
"They're not what most people think they are," he said. "Lightning rods aren't to have lightening strike them — they're to dissipate the electrical charge as the clouds move across the sky."
And so began the statewide campaign to install lightning rods on the Regents schools.
At the University of Kansas, they started at the top of the Hill. The first KU buildings to get lightening protection were those with valuable collections, including Watson Library, Dyche Hall and Spencer Research Library, Corman said.
Doug Riat, associate director of Design and Construction Management, also remembers where he was the day Hoch burned. He was driving on the highway between Topeka and Lawrence.
"On the horizon I could see a large black cloud," Rlait said. "By the time I got there, the building was engulfed in flames."
Riat said that now more than 50 buildings on campus have lightning protection.
Cost of the installation averages about $35,000 per building, Riat said. Smaller buildings such as Danfort Chapel, cost about $5,000 per building.
"We have been spending an average of a little less than $100,000 a year on lightning protection since 1993." Riat said.
Richardson said that once the lightning rods had been installed, they're relatively maintenance free — until a roof needed to be repaired or replaced. That's where the challenge comes in.
"The lightning rods have to be reinstalled, so it's a continual maintenance issue — but it isn't a big problem," Richardson said. KU employees often reinstall the lightning protection themselves.
Having lightning rods does not guarantee a building will not get hit, Corman said.
"But it's like having 95 percent insurance — very rarely will it get hit if it's protected."
From a cost standpoint, Riat said the money is well spent. "If we can keep even one building from being destroyed by lightening, it's worth it."

KU students hooked on tales of fishing lore
By Matthew Friedrichs
Kansan editor
This fish story ain't no lie
This his story aren't no lie.
And if you don't believe me, ask Lisa John, Kansan managing editor, or Phil Huntsinger, associate professor of health, sport and exercise sciences. They were both there.
Ted Decker, a fisherman from Grantville, hooked and landed a University of Kansas class this big (imagine I've got my arms spread wide, and you can see west side of Memorial Stadium between my hands).
OK, OK, so maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but at least 100 students hung onto Decker's words and laughed for the duration of his hour-long presentation, despite the sharp pain of taking a Saturday morning class.
Decker fishes for the big ones. He catches flathead catfish in the Kansas and Missouri rivers.
"That's Walter," Decker said, holding a mounted head and circulating a picture of a 76-pound flathead he landed. "That's the biggest one I've ever caught."
Decker was the first in a line of fishermen that Huntsinger brought to teach Fish Kansas. Huntsinger has taught the class since 1985.
Every summer he tries to entertain, teach and maybe hook a few new fans for the sport.
Ted Decker certainly caught our attention.
During his best day fishing in recent memory, he caught a 70-pound flathead, a 30-pound flathead, a 10-pound carp and then nabbed two black snakes in his front yard when he got home.
The self-described river rat's stories write with life, twisting
and turning like the rivers that he practically lives on.
He's paddled his kayak on the Missouri River from Omaha to Kansas City and from Kansas City to St. Louis — by himself.
He makes notes on his Missouri River navigation map, marking a good fishing spot, indicating good camping areas and writing about his conversations with other colorful characters like "Flathead" in Waverly, Mo., and "Hambone" in White Cloud.
When he's not kayaking across Missouri, Decker feeds his hunger for fishing by tending lines hanging from branches within a few feet of the bank along the Kansas River.
He baits his large hooks — they're not designed for earthworms because the hooks are almost as big as a worm — through the tail of a perch, small carp, bulbhead or larger goldfish. Then he drops the hooks in the water before dusk.
He checks them early in the morning to see if he's landed anything worth eating.
When he finished answering questions, Decker pulled out a cooker filled with deep-fried catfish and offered samples of his handiwork.
This summer, the class struck at Decker's lure like the flatheads and went home with a taste of his fishing style.
As we munched on the catfish, Decker swallowed Huntsinger's bait — two slabs of ribs to show gratitude to Decker for giving up a Saturday morning of fishing.
"My wife said, 'Oh good, we can eat ribs tonight. We don't have to eat fish," Decker said.

Volunteering proves rewarding for students
By Phil Cauthon Kansan staff writer
When E.J. Reedy rolled up to the nation's largest homeless shelter in a bright white minivan, he felt distinctly out of place.
Reedy, Topea junior, had been taking tests at the University of Kansas less than 24 hours earlier. Suddenly he was standing on a crowded street in Washington, D.C., shocked by the throngs of poor just a few blocks from the Capitol.
But his week at the shelter, where more than 1,200 people sleep every night, developed much like his relationship with an old man who lived there. When the two first sat down to play chess, the man was reserved and the encounter was awkward. By the end of his week volunteering at the shelter, Reedy had established a trusting relationship with the man.
Reedy, as well as 10 other KU students, was participating in one of last year's Alternative Spring Break programs, organized by Student Senate's Center for Community Outreach. Now, as codirector of CCO, Reedy works to put other students in touch with organizations that need volunteers. CCO matches about 5,000 students with Lawrence and KU organizations every year, he said.
"We're all very lucky to go to college," Reedy
said. "Sometimes it's easy to get separated from the rest of the world. I think volunteering can keep you based, seeing some of the things happening outside our college lives."
At 3 p.m. today and tomorrow, CCO will hold informational sessions in Alderson Auditorium, fourth floor Kansas Union. Program coordinators from campus will provide information about positions at more than 50 local organizations.
One of those organizations is the student-run Jubilee Cafe. Tuesday and Friday mornings at 10th and Vermont streets, people in need of free breakfast can order food from the menu. Volunteers prepare and serve blueberry pancakes, bacon, sausage, eggs, fruit, cereal, juice and coffee. Volunteers are also needed for the fund-raisers that pay for the cost of the food.
Cafe volunteer Chris Hockley said the program not only helps the hungry, but also gives students personal exposure to the homeless problem in Lawrence.
"It's a unique volunteering experience because students have the opportunity to interact with people from the community," said Hockley, Overland Park senior. "It becomes not so much serving food, but coming to check up on people you've met."
In addition to student-run programs, CCO
maintains an archive of community organizations with descriptions of the countless positions available. Reedy said the volunteer opportunities were broadly organized under four categories: educational, environmental, multi-cultural, and hunger and homelessness.
Kris Hermanson, coordinator for the Lawrence Literacy Program, said that KU students were essential to the success of the program.
"The kids really identify with KU students," Hermanson said. "They see them as mentors, which really helps kids learn."
On Sept. 12, the Lawrence United Way will hold its annual Day of Caring to encourage volunteering and to raise awareness about community needs. The event usually draws at least 500 KU participants, said manager Andre Bollaert.
Most volunteer organizations prefer two to six months of commitment for a few hours a week, Reedy said.
"Really, there are all different levels of commitment for everyone who wants to volunteer," he said. "It's amazing once something becomes part of your daily life, it's much easier to do. It may seem stressful at first, but what you are going to gain in the end is more than you lose."

Follow directions to right path of success
By Lisa John
Kansan managing editor
Starting out on the right foot is important, University of Kansas students say. Their advice on how to succeed in school covers many angles.
Living quarters matter, said Erin Kriss,
Overland Park sophomore.
"Live in a dorm. It keeps you on campus 24-7." she said. "It keeps you right there always thinking about school. When you get out in your own apartment you have a lot more things to worry about."
Another tip from Kriss: "Don't bite off more than you can chew."
n Mark Ashbrook, Glenview, Ill., graduate student, said it's important to set priorities.
Bear in mind, he said, that students need to have fun, too.
"They should have a balance between partying, social activities and academics," he said. "You don't want to have too much of any one thing."
Ashbrook suggested that students find out what KU has to offer, including clubs, Lied Center programs, intramural sports and museums.
"Determine what's most important to you and build your schedule to manage things so that your priorities stay intact," Ashbrook said.
"Take advantage of how great, how incredibly diverse our campus is," he said.
- Jason Gray, Wichita freshman, said the most important thing to do is attend every class.

"Even if you don't have the assignment done, go to class because you'll probably pick up some information that will help you," he said.
Bart Baldwin, Ottawa graduate student, said it's important to be familiar with the surroundings, and to get involved in whatever interests von
Duane Bruce, Chillicothe graduate student, has well-defined rules for academic success: "Get to know your professors and grad assistants. Don't miss any more than three days of class during a semester."

taking," he said. "It's also a good idea not to go out partying so much at first."
tings, and to get involved in whatever interests you.
"Also, class attendance is important, as is note
Two students finishing up Freshman Summer Institute also had suggestions.
Sarah Hanson, Dallas freshman, advised getting to know the campus before school starts. "FSI helped me a lot in that way — I've been here for a month and now I know the campus, some of the professors and some students," she said.
Todd Stoeber, Garden City freshman, said to minimize the amount of time spent partying. "And then, make a master plan and stick to it because that will give you extra time to go out and party."

No kisses, no princes: Dead frogs live on

She slips her hand into a pale, blue rubber glove and plunges it into the murky brown water. Submerged in the cold water lies her treasure—about 50 dead turtles.
By Gina Leo
Kansan staff writer
In her first hunt, she pulls out an adult softshell turtle. Its neck stretches about 6 inches out of its shell, and its mouth hangs open. The turtle has been dead for about 30 years, yet is still perfectly preserved.
Banbury, Overland Park junior in biology, works in the University of Kansas Natural History Museum's herpetology department, home to more than 280,000 preserved animals. Countless shelves of jarred and boxed animals fill the collection's four floors and are used for research by students and experts around the globe.
The animals come from 155 countries, 70 percent of which are from the tropics in the Western hemisphere.
John Simmons, the herpetology department's collection manager, said some of the animals 100 years old, and many of the species were extinct.
"To replace the collection, if not impossible, would probably cost millions of dollars. I like to think of it as priceless." Simmons said.
One type of extinct frog in the University's collection was once so prevalent in the Andes mountains that only a few saw the need to preserve them. Today, the frogs are hard to find in any collection. The University has two jars full.
An extinct toad in KU's collection comes
from Africa, where natives licked the toads' moist skin to get a high.
Many of these animals are extinct, making Banbury's work even more important. Her job includes tagging animals and incorporating them into the collection, sending out loans of species, and tank diving — searching tanks of animals to make sure none are missing.
"My job is very precise and gets extremely tedious at times," Bansbury said. "But it's great because it incorporates many fields such as biology and genetics."
"You learn to desensitize yourself," Banbury said.
Banbury gets help from Hugo Alamillo, Chihuahua, Mexico, senior in philosophy. The two work together, fishing through jars and tanks full of preserved animals. They had to adjust to working with dead animals every day.
The herpetology department is very careful when it comes to animal rights, Banbury said. Most of the animals are already dead when they are collected from the fields. If one needs to be killed, though, it is done inducing as little pain as possible.
The department takes great care to maintain the quality of the animals. The collection building, which is kept at a constant 65 degrees, is state-of-the-art. It was finished in 1996 with the help of various grants and donations. The University is the first in the country to have such a building.
"Most people really don't get that excited about seeing a bunch of dead frogs, though," Simmons said.
When guests do come to visit, Simmons does n't hesitate to show them the animals.
The building's size allows many students to conduct research.

Putting pedal to the metal on the academic track
By Lisa John
Kansan managing editor
It's not every day that KU students get to drive a race car. But once in a while, if they're lucky and happen to be seniors in mechanical engineering, it just might happen.
In fact, it did happen.
This summer at the Society of Automotive Engineers competition in Pontiac, Mich., a formula race car built by 20 KU seniors placed 24th out of 90 collegiate entries.

Not bad, the students said.
Andrew Fairchild, Lawrence senior and team captain of the senior class project, said this was KU's highest ranking at the competition.
Did it take long to build? A rumbling chuckle (laced with groans) came from the four students who gathered for an interview last week.
As for the car itself, John Gallon, Fredonia senior, said it weighs 560 pounds, is rated at 115 horsepower, can go from zero to 90 miles per hour in five seconds and should "top speed" at around 113 mph.
"Only about 15,000 man hours," Gallon said. "That's counting the time it took to fix our mistakes."
The project began in a class taught by Rob Screm, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, last August.
"Taking it from pencil and paper, or rather from CAD (computer assisted drafting), took nine months," Fairchild said.
The car is fashioned with a carbon body molded into honeycomb layers, said Mike Meakins, Topeka senior.
Fairchild said that this made their car unique at the competition.
This helps because the car is lighter than if the frame was made of steel.
"We were the only full-tub monocoque." Fairchild said. "That means the body is a single structural piece — the body is the frame."
"A steel frame normally runs about 60 pounds, so we shaved about 20 pounds off by making it out of carbon fiber," Meakins
said. "It takes a lot more man hours to do and it's a lot more complicated to do, but it's lighter."
The students built a mold from fiberglass and wood into the shape that they wanted, Meakins said. Then they laid the carbon fiber on top of the mold.
The result is a car body that is lightweight, fireproof and shatter resistant. It's also very flexible, which helps when turning, Gallon said.
The students modified an engine to suit their needs.
Although this is officially an annual senior class project, underclassmen can volunteer to help. Fairchild said his experience working on the 1997 and 1998 cars helped him on this one.
"The engine is off of a street motorcycle. We modify it, and we program our own fuel injection system and make our own intake manifold." Fairchild said.
Beyond the textbook
"Every year we start from scratch on a new car. It's very interesting because you go from being a student to actually applying what you have learned," Fairchild said. "Instead of seeing everything on paper and writing down the homework problem, you're actually applying it and saying, 'Oh, they weren't lying when they said that was going to break if I did that.'"
Gallon agreed, and said, "You have to go outside for research, beyond the textbooks. You're going to find books that can show you what the parameters should be, but mostly you need to talk to somebody with experience."
Fairchild said that two former amateur race car drivers, Clancey Schmidt and Jim Self, were invaluable when team members wanted more information.
"We'll tell them that something will work on paper, and they tell us it's not going to work," Fairchild said. For instance, there might be a bolt in a place where a wrench couldn't fit.
Schmidt said he and Self have been glad to share their years of racing experience with the students.
Self said it's fun to work with the students.
"The main thing we do is try to get them to focus, and we use our practical experience to help keep them on track," Self said. "More than anything, we're just voices of experience.
"We can look at something and say 'I don't think that's going to work because it doesn't look strong enough.' We can do that from experience, whereas they only have the ability to calculate it. Sometimes their calculations are only effective in the best-built principles and sometimes things don't get built as they were calculated."
Phil Brown, Overland Park senior, agreed and said the best thing about the project was that they learn firsthand that things work differently in real life than on paper. "You put it on paper and you say, 'Hey this is going to be great,' but you actually put it together and it's not even close," Brown said.
Track talk
Moreover, an added benefit is that about half of the 20 students get to learn what it's like to don a fireproof suit, maneuver themselves into the compact car, buckle on a five-point safety harness and compete in a car race. They take turns driving at the national competition, participating in the different events.
"It's something that none of us will probably ever get to do again," Fairchild said. So what's it like?
Fairchild said it's not like driving a regular car.
"You hit the gas and you go, 'OK, that's a little different," he said.
Then there's the realization that you're feeling every bump in the road, every vibration. "If there's a pencil you drive over, you'll know it." Fairchild said.
Not only do students wear fireproof suits, but they also must learn how to climb out of the car in five seconds. In a demonstration last week, Brown made it out of the narrow quarters in only 4 1/2 seconds.
Students get to know each other during the year it takes to build the car. Estimates
What do their parents think about the race car driving?
"Mine try to ignore the fact," Fairchild said.
Meakins said his parents approve. "They think it's cool," he said.
of time spent on the project range from 50 to 100 hours per week per student. For the team leader, the load is even heavier, said Sorem, who became faculty adviser for the project in 1995 and began teaching the course in 1998.
Teamwork is where it all begins and ends, Sorem said.
"They start out thinking everybody has the same goals, and they quickly realize that everyone has different goals as to what they want out of the project and as to what they will put into the project," Sorem said.
As for Fairchild's position as team leader, Sorem said, "There's not a huge fight for that position because there is a lot of time commitment."
There's a financial commitment too.
The car costs from $15,000 to $20,000 to build, Sorem said. Most of that, he said, came from the department and the school, with outside sponsors helping with the rest.
An additional cost is the $6,000-$8,000 it takes to get the car and team to the competition and back, Sorem said. Again, students work together, helping raise money
Getting along
"But the worst part is that that's when the team breaks up, and I'll never see a lot of the students again."
Former racecar driver Clancey Schmidt said that this year he was particularly proud of the KU team's results at the national competition.
"The most rewarding part is at the end of competition — when we're done, we can look at the car and say 'We made it work, we did the whole thing and it's ours,' Sorem said.
"They did real well, and I think they can even do a lot better." he said.
"They've learned how to get ready for an event; they know how to double check everything on the car; they know how to build it so it won't break and they know what the judges are looking for," Schmidt said.
And as for taking 24th place in this year's event, Schmidt said, "There's an old adage in racing that to finish first, first you must finish. And they've been finishing."
PLAY IT AGAIN
SPORTS
For Sorem and the students, the highlight of the year — the national competition — celebrates nine months of teamwork, albeit with a bittersweet ending.

KU reaps benefits of alumni land donations
By Phil Cauthon
Kansan Staff Writer
When planning the future of their estate, William and Phyllis Benefiel decided to will their 200 acres in Barber County to the University of Kansas. The land had been the family homestead and, more recently, the couple — both KU graduates in California — had rented the pasture and cron land.
Now the land -- appraised at $57,000 -- will help support the KU School of Medicine. After William Benefiel's death last month, the property was transferred to the KU Endowment Association, a non-profit organization that manages such gifts for the University.
"When you live out of state, it's hard to own land because of inheritance problems," Phyllis said. "Giving the land to KU just seemed like the right thing to do. Once you've been to school there, of course, that's where your loyalty lies."
The Benefiels' gift brings the Endowment Association's total Kansas landholdings to 43,498 acres. The land's agricultural income, combined with mineral income from land in six other states, raised $1.6 million in the 1998 fiscal year.
John Scarfe, the association's director of communications, said the association hired property managers to produce wheat, corn, minerals or whatever
the land was best suited for. The income from the land is then given to the University as specified by the donors.
Sometimes land gifts are sold, using the money to create a fellowship for scholarships or research. One such fellowship, created from 510 acres in Rice and McPherson counties, financed $1,000 Effie J. Jones scholarships for 14 students last year.
Dwayne Sackman, senior associate dean of the School of Medicine, said that KU needed such gifts to remain competitive with other schools.
"We are truly grateful for the generosity of the Benefiels." Sackman said. "The school looks forward to making the best possible use of their gift."
If land given to the University is in the Lawrence area, it may be used for educational purposes, like the Nelson environment holdings, near Baldwin. Scarfe said that, while such land does not yield income for the University, it might serve a donor's goal of preventing the land from being sold or developed.
Financial concerns may also motivate potential donors to give land to the University. Land that has appreciated in value is subject to a capital gains tax when it is sold. However, if it is given to the University, the land's fair market value can be deducted from the donor's estate.
Donating land also avoids burdening the deceased's family with estate taxes,
particularly when the land is not producing income.
The first land given to the University dates to 1891 when Charles Robinson, first governor of Kansas, donated part of the land on which Memorial Stadium now stands. That same year the Endowment Association was formed to facilitate further gifts, which now constitute 86 percent of KU campuses in Lawrence, Wichita and Kansas City.
Scarfie said that a listing of each specific property, its donor and what the income from the land is used for would be difficult to compile because the donations have been accumulating for more than a century.

Regents give salary boost to Chancellor Hemenway
Also approve tuition hike, fall break beginning 2001
By Matthew Friedrichs Kansan editor
TOPEKA — The boss is getting a raise.
TOPEKA — The boss is getting a raise.
Members of the Kansas Board of Regents approved raises for Chancellor Robert Hemenway and the presidents of Kansas State, Pittsburgh State, Emporia State, Fort Hays State and Wichita state universities.
Hemenway's salary will increase to $202,428,a raise of $19,896 or almost 10 percent.
Raises for presidents of the other universities ranged from 9.9 percent to 15.9 percent, much higher than those for university faculty and staff.
The Kansas Legislature already has allocated funds for raises of 3.5 percent for faculty and staff. The legislature also has allocated funds to provide merit raises of as much as 4.9 percent for select university employees.
The discrepancy in raises was necessary to keep administrators in Kansas on pace with their peers, said to Bill Docking, chairman of the nine-member board.
"If we are to have top-flight institutions, it is essential that we close this gap." Docking said. "Our state and national economies currently are strong, and we must be competitive in the national market. The new salaries reflect an initial step in closing that gap."
In 1999, Hemenway's $182,532 salary placed him ahead of only Oregon's chancellor who makes $173,688. North Carolina pays its chancellor the most. $235,767.
The University's peer institutions as defined by the Board are the University of Colorado, the University of Iowa, the University of North Carolina, the University of Oklahoma and the University of Oregon.
Pat Miller, business manager for computing services, said a large raise was not unusual for the chancellor.
She said the difference between his raise and the raises for others at the University was an indication of differences in how the Legislature and the Board set salaries.
Chris Hepp, associate professor of music and dance, said the Regents decision had been easier to take because they had supported higher faculty salaries in proposals to the Legislature.
"This year, the spoils of war go to Chancellor Hemenway," Hepp said. "Next year, I hope they go to the faculty."
In other business, the Regents:
approved a fall break at the University beginning Fall 2001.
- approved tuition increases of 2.5 percent, a $1 per-credit-hour fee for libraries and a $1-per-credit-hour technology fee for KU students beginning in 2001.
- approved a request by Donald Hagen, executive vice chancellor of the University of Kansas Medical Center, to name a center that is scheduled to open next year the Theo and Alfred M. Landon Center for Aging.

Rent with missing roommate rough for students
By Lori O'Toole
Kansan staff writer
Nobody knows where Quinton Randel went after he left unexpectedly last January, but Gabe Zeckers and his five roommates would like to find him — along with his share of the $1,600 monthly rent and other expenses he owes them.
Attempts to reach Randel through his friends and his parents have failed. Zeckers, Lawrence senior, who attended Washburn Rural High School with Randel, was disappointed and angry. He also felt some guilt and regret since he was the one who invited Randel to move into the house.
"If I had to do it over again, there's no way I'd live here again," he said. "I'll never live with this many people again. The more people there are, the less responsibility there is."
Zecker's problem is not uncommon in Lawrence. With approximately 65 percent of KU's students living off-campus, many students have a disappearing roommate story they can share.
The University of Kansas provides some help.
Meanwhile, some apartment complexes are coming up with new lease approaches that eliminate — or at least alleviate — the missing roommate dilemma.
Zeckser's lease, like the majority of Lawrence apartment and house leases, say that the tenants are "jointly and severally liable" for rent. In
other words, landlords do not care if the rent comes from one person or is split equally among roommates as long as it is paid.
One of Zecker's roommates, Scott Rowland, KU 1998 graduate, said two roommates left him between semesters during the 1998-97 academic year while he was living at Colony Woods Apartments, 1301 W.24th St.
"They decided to go back home." Rowland said. "They felt like they weren't responsible for second semester."
Rowland, who had previously worked about 15 hours a week, began working at least 40 hours a week in order to afford the rent for his two-bedroom apartment.
"I was stuck with their rent for a month, but then they began to pay a small portion of it each月 after I confronted them about it," Rowland said.
Rowland was also able to find a new roommate
"It's an interesting problem," John Salvino, president of Master Plan Management Inc. said. "It all falls back on being jointly and severally liable."
Salvino said when a tenant approaches him with a problem concerning a disappearing roommate, he will try to contact the co-signer, if there is one listed. However, if the co-signer, usually a parent or a relative, is also nowhere to be found, the rent must be paid by the remaining tenants.

are distraught and concerned because they know they can be held liable, "Salvino said, 'We do spend a lot of time trying to find a sublease.'"
Salvino said if a sublease was not feasible, there are other ways to handle the situation.
"There was a situation in which one gentleman left, and I ended up evicting both of them and signed up the roommate for a different lease." Salvino said. "There's lots of different instances."
When a roommate hits the road, there are organizations in Lawrence that students can turn to.
Legal Services for Students, 148 Burge Union, offers free legal advice
Michele Kessler, associate director and attorney, said that nearly half of the landlord-tenant problems that are brought to the organization deal with roommate issues.
to students.
The catch — a big one — is that if the dispute involves two KU students, legal services can not help. If the dispute is not between two or more students, a representative will review the lease with the students, tell them their options and possibly help them write letters to the involved parties.
Kessler said if the money involved is at or above $1,800, small claims court is an option. However, finding the roommate and collecting the
money still poses problems.
"I usually advise the students to go to court to get a judgment against the person," she said. "If their parents would be concerned or if that person is looking for a job, it will be worth it."
Gerryman Robins, agent of Apple Lane and Quail Creek Apartments, 2111 Kasol Dr., had a past tenant who was successful in small claims court.
Lawrence seems to stand out among Kansas cities when it comes to off-campus housing.
in the late 1960s, as the property manager for the Pines in Topeka, one tenant paid all the rent after her roommate left. Then, with the paid bills as documentation, she was able to go through the court to win it back.
"It seems like Lawrence has more roommate problems." Debra Christians, Housing Division Officer for Housing and Credit Counseling's Topeka branch. "I'm not sure why that is. We also get a lot of referrals from KU."
Christians, who works with tenant and landlord complaints from across the state, receives the most calls from Lawrence, Topeka and Manhattan.
In addition to the number of roommate conflicts reported, Christians said that it is more common for Lawrence landlords to require students to have a parental signature on leases so that landlords have an additional avenue for seeking late rent.

apartment complex that is designed to accommodate students.
While Jefferson Commons tenants are still jointly responsible for damages to the shared kitchen, living room and dining area, each bedroom has its own lease and security deposit. The responsibilities of the bedroom rent belong to an individual rather than to all tenants sharing the apartment.
"Each tenant is only responsible for their portion of the rent," said Tamara Hofhines, resident relations director. "If a roommate leaves, they're not obligated in any way for the other roommate's rent."
Hohines said she thought this lease approach made tenants feel more comfortable.
"It makes people more willing to share an apartment." she said.
Other expenses such as late fees and bedroom damages at Jefferson Commons are also charged only to the individual rather than to all tenants in the apartment.
While Lawrence's rental market awaits potential alterations instigated by new — and possibly improved
— lease approaches, some tenants such as Zeckser are still trying to find the financial sources necessary to cover the burden left by their disappearing roommate.
Residence halls' phone service changes prefix
"We're hostile about the situation, but we all kind of gave up." Zecker said. "We're all working to help pick up the slack. It's been a really expensive lesson."

By Matthew Friedrichs Konson editor
The University of Kansas has added 5,000 new phone numbers to the campus phone system. Phone numbers 312-0000 through 312-4999 will supplement the 10,000 current phone numbers that begin with the 864 prefix.
Students moving into Templin Hall for the Freshmen Summer Institute were among the first on campus to receive the new numbers.
Elizabeth Pesek-Shields, equipment planning technician II, said Networking and Telecommunications Services would change the numbers for other on-campus living areas to 312 this summer.
"We had to come up with a way that made sense," she said. The logical approach includes changing the phone numbers for residential students — who change location frequently — while freeing more 864 numbers for academic and administrative offices.
Anna Hines, assistant director of network services at NTS, said officials at the University were aware that the 864 numbers would eventually run out when they acquired them in 1986.
When the University began to run out of 864 numbers, the decision was made to purchase the 312 numbers from Southwestern Bell.
Fax machines and the phase out of "key-system" technology multiple phones that ring successively as more than one call came into the same number
— were among the increased demands that necessitated additional phone numbers, Hines said.
People using campus phones will still be able to dial other campus phones using the last five digits of the number.
Calls to formerly valid 864 numbers will be forwarded to a recording that explains the change and that offers to connect the caller with the University operator.

Students find a love that doesn't date
By Katrina Hull
Kansan staff writer
A game of Scrabble is a typical game activity for sweethearts Mark Brender and Jennifer Phillips.
Losing his turn, Mark gracefully removes his letters from the board.
Unfortunately for Mark, "swaug" isn't a word this evening.
While Jennifer works on a word, Mark explains that she times his turns to keep games from extending past their midnight curfew.
KU graduate Mark Brende, 28, and KU Campus Crusade for Christ director Jennifer Phillips, 25, are not engaged, not dating and not pursuing a physical relationship. Instead, they are courting, a philosophy of building a foundation for a lasting marriage.
For this couple, courting boundaries include no hugging, kissing or spending time together alone. The only touching allowed is hand holding. Plus, they have a self-enforced curfew.
Brende and Phillips are out of the ordinary, but not alone, in their views on marriage and dating. They are part of a small number of KU students and graduates devoted to postponing sex, and sometimes even kissing, until marriage.
Dennis Dailey, KU professor of social welfare, said such behavior was not healthy, because it involved suppressing sexual desires. Dailey, who teaches a course on human sexuality in everyday life, said waiting until marriage to kiss was definitely taking abstaining too far.
Brende and Phillips, however, believe strict physical abstinence allows them to keep their focus on God until they are ready for marriage.
"The risk of struggling with sexual immorality would terminate our future together and our ministry," said Brende. "We're not Christians in the back row."
Because Brende and Phillips both lead Bible studies through Campus Crusade, they are in a position to set an example for college students.
"When you go about everyday life, you need to think about the person you are going to marry and make sure you are true to that person."
The future of their relationship does
R.J. McDaniel
not rely on sex, Brende said, but rather on an emotional and spiritual foundation that develops through friendship.
Leavenworth junior
Brende tested this foundation by asking himself three questions: Can I be friends with this girl for the rest of my life? Are we compatible? Could I thoroughly enjoy a honeymoon with this girl?
When he was able to answer "yes" to all the questions, he asked Phillips for her permission to move past friendship and into courtship.
Brende and Phillip's courtship and sexual modesty is not for everybody. Yet a different approach to relationships makes sense in a country where half of marriages are predicted to fail. Something is not working.
A courtship relationship is the opposite of cohabitation, or living together before marriage. Cohabitation is a trend that has increased from one-half million couples in 1960 to four million in 1997, according to a January 1999 social science research report from Rutgers State University of New Jersey.
As part of The National Marriage Project, Rutgers researchers David Popenoe and Barbara Dafoe Whitehead found that more than half of today's marriages are preceded by cohabitation, which has weakened the institution of marriage.
They reported that while an anticohabitation approach strengthens relationships through linking sex to marriage, it fails to address how to postpone sex until marriage.
Phillip and Brende achieved this by avoiding tempting situations.
John Wade, a staff psychologist for KU Counseling and Psychological
Services, said conventional dating patterns could set young people up for future divorces. He said there was pressure in college to date a lot of people and to move on whenever problems arose.
Wade said television also sends out a misleading message about racing into physical relationships.
"What typically happens in TV is people meet, have one date and hop in bed. And if that's not happening (in your life), you're missing the boat," he said.
Juniors R.J. McDaniel, Leavenworth, and B.J.Hill, Ellis, are not concerned that they might be missing the boat. Neither thinks dating is bad. Instead, each believes what they call "purity" in relationships matters more.
Purity involves the concept of sexual modesty, or reserving sex for a single committed relationship that only exists in marriage. Both said they wanted to wait at least until they were engaged before kissing their future wives.
"When you go about everyday life, you need to think about the person you are going to marry and make sure you are being true to that person," McDaniel said.
Hill said that at times it was difficult to separate society's definition of dating from his own ideas of what it should be. Both men agreed that Christian attitudes don't make them immune to sexual temptations.
"The locker room question is a test of conquering," McDaniel said. "The first question is 'How far did you go?' not 'How right is she for you?'"

first kissed her husband Steve, a
"Actually, when he kissed me I almost fell over," she said.
Lawrence graduate student, on her wedding day.
It wasn't easy to wait, but it was worthwhile, Wyss said.
"My mom thought it was kind of crazy. She said I needed to know if I was physically attracted. I said, 'Come on, Mom, I know if I'm attracted,'" Wyss said.
Phillips, Brende, Wyss, McDaniel and Hill currently worship in nondenominational churches. Their childhood religious backgrounds differ from Lutheran to Catholic to homes where church attendance was not encouraged.
All agreed that courting, not dating,
or being faithful to an unknown
spouse is not meant for everybody.
Dailey said that waiting until marriage for sex was an individual decision but that it can cause guilt and shame when premarital sex conflicts with individual values.
"What that means is they are withholding expressions of affection that are part or a normal and natural relationship." Dailey said.
Although religious convictions may be the most common reason for courtship and sexual modesty, a secular cause exists as well. Wendy Shalit, 25-year-old author of A Return to Modesty, hails modesty as sexy and erotic in a culture where loose, cheap and easy sex has lost its luster.
Phillips and Brende agree. Brende describes their time spent together, which does consist of activities other than Scrabble, as exciting and romantic.
Phillips said that she looks forward to an easy marriage, because she has waited to find the right person that she is comfortable around and can trust.
"For me," Phillips said, "I don't want to miss out on anything with my husband or give away anything that belongs to him."
And she doesn't mind playing Scrabble in the meantime, even when Mark wins.

Kids play in dirt, help break ground for Hilltop Center
By Michael Furman
Kansan staff writer
The ground breaking ceremony this summer for the new Hilltop Child Development Center drew 125 people, many of whom donned hardhats and pitched shovels into the dirt.
Pat Pisani, Hilltop director, encouraged anybody who wanted to help to join.
"We even have little gold shovels for the kids," she said. The ceremony was directed toward the children who will use it, but numerous University of Kansas administrators including Provost David Shulenburger braved the stormy weather to offer their support and congratulations.
"We are trying to make this a children's event, so they understand what's going on and when they'll get to use the new place," Pisani said.
Ann Wimmer, a Hilltop teacher, attended the ceremony with her granddaughter. She said people were excited about the new center because it was designed for the children.
"It's going to be so nice, especially for the students and parents with special needs." Wimmer said.
The new building will be one level, and classrooms will have their own bathrooms. The current Hilltop building is multiple levels and is not handicapped accessible.
Also, the center will be based on a natural Kansas theme. Dena Podelrebarac, president of the Hilltop board of directors and public education specialist at the Natural History Museum, said that the new design was appropriate.
"I'm also real excited for the natural theme; being a biologist I'm real interested in the wildflowers and the earthy colors," she said.
Podrebarda's daughter, Hillary, 5, is excited for the new center for another reason.
The excitement for the center was obvious Sunday as adults and children joined in shoveling dirt.
"We'll be in new classes, and we'll have new playground toys," she said.
Katlyn Fisher, 8, was hard at work doing her part for the center.
"I hope to go 3 feet down," she said as she struggled to puncture the ground.
Construction is expected to be complete by July 2000, and the building, which will be between Anschutz Sports Pavilion and Stouffer Place apartments, should be ready for classes in August 2000.
Two-thirds of the $3.4 million project will be paid by a $4-a-semester student fee. The KU administration and Hilltop are paying the remainder of the cost.

Lawrence: a culture rich in heritage
100
The complex history of a distinct town
Riot police block the street. Students protested the Viet Nam war and to improve social conditions in the United States during the tempestuous 1960s and 1970s. Contributed photo
By Phil Cauthon
Kansan staff writer
KU basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain was arguably the most famous person ever to live in Lawrence. Yet, when he lived here in the late 1950s, most Lawrence restaurant owners wouldn't let him in the door. If they did, he was likely given one of the worst seats in the house.
Such contradictions are a constant throughout Lawrence history. While Kansas' pre-Civil War status as a "free state" originated here, Lawrence was also the host of Ku Klux Klan rallies in the 1920s.
Author Bill Moyers wrote of Lawrence in 1971: "The town is large enough to harbor several communities with their own ways of life. It is small enough for every citizen to feel the impact of colliding values."
A free state and university
The first impact of such colliding values came about a decade after the first settlers arrived in 1854, setting up camp on the hill at 11th and Ohio streets. Abolitionist "free-staters" met in what is now South Park to organize resistance to the state legislature's early pro-slavery leanings.
In 1863, Confederate guerrillas led by William Quantrill attacked the "free-staters." Lawrence was left in ashes and at least 150 people were killed.
Ironically, Quantrill actually shaped Lawrence's destiny for the better, said Steven Jansen, the director of Watkins Community Museum of History.
Because of Quantrill's raid, Abraham Lincoln ordered that the present-day Union Pacific railroad be built along the Kansas River, in part to facilitate the reconstruction of Lawrence.
The rebuilt town was able to successfully lobby to become home of the first state university.
When the University of Kansas opened its doors in 1866, it was plagued with difficulties. None of the first 54 students
admitted had a high school education.
admitted had a high school education. "It was less like a college than a rather indifferent high school," Jansen said.
The University's difficulty in attracting top-noth students was complicated by tight economic times and the reluctance of state tax payers — predominately farmers — to sink money into higher education.
But one of the University's first professors, Francis Snow, worked hard to convince Kansas farmers that a quality research institution would be beneficial. Traveling throughout the state, Snow taught them new techniques for reading weather and for combating pests.
Soon, people from the Lawrence area put together $100,000 of their own money to build Fraser Hall.
Snow continued to reach out to the community and formed a tight-knit town and gown relationship, Jansen said.
"In 1867, Snow gives a lecture predicting a meteor shower," Jansen said in storyteller fashion. "When the meteors
began to fall, Snow — with the help of his students — climbs up into the church tower and rings the bell until all of Lawrence awakens to see the spectacle he predicted. It is out of that relationship that KU and Lawrence have grown."
Adding to the fortune of that relationship, Elizabeth Watkins helped the town and University overcome financial strain during the Depression. Her gift of more than 26,000 acres of farmland provided the means for the Kansas University Endowment Association to boost sagging faculty salaries and to share costs of the developing Lawrence infrastructure.
To this day, Watkins' gifts annually provide millions of dollars to the Endowment Association. Her gifts transformed the University into a high-quality yet affordable institution, which in turn has brought people from all over the world to Lawrence, Jansen said.

Basketball's birth

KU's first basketball coach was James Naismith, the father of basketball. Naismith came to KU at a time when students didn't know there was a University basketball team, and when the University Daily Kansan was publishing ads pleading for students to play on the team, Jansen said.
Students protest on Jayhawk Boulevard. The late 1960s and early 1970s was a time of civil unrest at the University of Kansas like many other locations in the United States as students and citizens alike worked for equal rights. Contributed photo
For nine years, Naismith's teams played in a basement with 16-foot ceilings and iron support pillars in the middle of the court. Before leaving KU, Naismith convinced the University to build a gymnasium — the old Robinson Gym, where Wescoe Hall now stands. Besides holding 2,000 fans and kindling the first sparks of KU basketball mania, the new gym ushered in Phog Allen, who fanned the flames of the University's best known tradition.
"James Naismith represents a very special tradition in Lawrence," Jansen said. "He also represents coming from some place else but adopting Lawrence and KU as his home."
Jim Crow and Wilt Chamberlain
As Lawrence's basketball tradition was beginning, the town's free-state tradition vanished. Jim Crow laws left KU cafeterias and Lawrence restaurants segregated.
Many professors called a separate roll for the Black students who sat at the back of the classroom. And Black students could only use the swimming pool on the last day of the month — the day before it was drained and cleaned.
At its birth, KU took pride in being one of few universities to admit Black students, but at the turn of the century it suddenly seemed determined to follow the status quo. Notable exceptions included the student-run chapter of the Congress Of Racial Equality (CORE), which actively protested segregation. Also, student editors in the Kansan often denounced racism as early as the 1940s. One editorial said that KU was no better than Hitler for sponsoring a blood drive that kept the blood from African-Americans separate from the blood from Caucasians.
Despite Phog Allen's proclamation that he wouldn't have blacks on his team, he soon gave in to pressure from KU's new chancellor, Franklin Murphy, to recruit black athletes.
Bill Tuttle, professor of history and American studies, said that major changes began to happen in Lawrence once Murphy became chancellor.
"He did a lot of clever, courageous, overdue things to desegregate Lawrence," Tuttle said. "I think Franklin Murphy knew all along that if he was able to recruit Wilt Chamberlain that things would change, that they would work

together in unusual and interesting ways to try to make this a more diverse and less segregated community."
Tuttle said that when Chamberlain arrived, the town's thick racism nearly made him return home.
"But Wilt immediately went to see the coach, made his feelings known, and from that point on, things changed," he said.
While Chamberlain was well known for his domination of basketball, he was also active in the Lawrence community. He led students in CORE and staged sit-ins at segregated restaurants, bringing media attention to a largely unquestioned practice. At the time, 33 of Lawrence's 38 restaurants were segregated; three had Black owners.
After Chamberlain left KU in 1958, it was widely believed that he harbored bitter feelings from his experience in Lawrence. He did not return to Lawrence until the University celebrated 100 years of KU basketball two years ago. Chamberlain later said that he hadn't returned because he felt he had let the community down after losing in triple overtime to North Carolina during the NCAA championship. He said that he had been proud to be a Jayhawk and left the court saying "Rock Chalk Jayhawk."

Student protests and counterculture
Student protests and counterculture Lawrence changed considerably in the next several years, largely because of the University's influence. Chancellor Murphy urged area businesses to treat people of other races with respect, saying that was the only way KU would attract scholars from around the world. Later, he threatened to show first-run movies on campus if theaters did not desegregate. They promptly did.
Once the student opposition to the Vietnam War was added to discontent over sluggish Civil Rights reform, Lawrence erupted into a hotbed of social unrest which culminated in the burning of the Kansas Union in 1970. Headlines in the Laurence Journal World in the late '80s told of citizen snipers, bonfires in the streets and bricks bombarding police cars. In the summer of 1970 two students were shot by police and the National Guard was deployed.
Rex Johnson, Douglas County sheriff from 1965 to 1990, said that before the civil rights movements and war protests the Lawrence community generally took peace and stability for granted.
"Whatever you thought of that cause, they made the University and town a better and closer community," Johnson said. He said the police and community leaders had met with students and town
activists to find a solution to the ongoing violence. In doing so, law enforcement was able to resist pressure to severely crack down on all protesters. Johnson said that the interaction fostered community-wide cooperation that continues today.
The student protests brought more than cooperation. The general mistrust of the "establishment" fostered a counterculture of long hair, Afros, peaceniks, love-ins, head shops and open drug use.
Today traces of that counterculture remain embedded within this generation's expression. Decentralized media like the KAW community radio and theKaw Valley Independent newspaper offer free thinking not available in most communities of Lawrence's size, Tuttle said. A testament to this town's peculiarity is that William S. Burroughs, renown writer of the Beat generation, chose Lawrence as his home.
The future of Lawrence
The original planners of Lawrence centralized the town's layout around a downtown district on Massachusetts Street, named after the home state of most of the first settlers. After Quantrill's raid, the 75 destroyed buildings were quickly rebuilt to serve a town of some 5,000 citizens. During the next century, Lawrence's population increased by less than 2,000 per decade.
But by 1950, Lawrence was quickly expanding. Part of the growth came from increased KU enrollment as a result of the GI Bill of Rights, and much of the rest was industrial development along the railroad.
The picturesque face of Lawrence wasn't compromised by its growth. Dennis Domer, associate professor of architecture and urban design, said that developer Bob Billings greatly enhanced Lawrence when he could have easily built strip malls and made off with quick earnings.
Billings, a former KU basketball player and graduate, designed the Alvamar neighborhoods around golf courses to preserve open, wooded areas and to ease the stress of urban density.
"People that worry about planning and the environment are generally poo-pooed in favor of quick development," Domer said. "By the time politicians begin using the environmentalists' arguments, it's too late."
Ten years ago, Lawrence voters shot down a proposal to level the 600 block of Vermont Street to make room for a mall. Instead, Domer said, the south end of Iowa Street is being stacked with discount stores and other commercial chains. The
west end of town is exploding with cookie- cutter housing as Lawrence becomes the evening home of many commuters working in Topeka or the Kansas City area.
Domer said that as Lawrence sprawls to the south and west, it will struggle to maintain its identity as a unique and dynamic city.
Tuttle agreed. He said that Lawrence's rapid expansion will distance it from its heritage.
"The result will be kind of a schizophrenic place, Tuttle said. "I'm not sure how much of a sense of experience will remain. Now, at any one time, there are
many, many different Lawrences functioning."
While the intimate Lawrence that Moyer described in 1971 may have been compromised by the suburban developments on the fringes of town, the vitality of the town's heritage is still not hard to find.
"There are always multiple stories; there are always multiple perspectives," said Lawrence historian Jansen. "The challenge is, the closer it is to us, the less sure you are that you've got enough of the stories."

Kanson staff writer
There is something about downtown Lawrence.
Crossing the Kaw River heading south on Massachusetts Street, something grabs you. Maybe the aroma of the abundance of restaurants hits your nose, or possibly the historic architecture grips your eyes. It might be the sound of curious window shoppers or live music emanating through the air. It could just be the sweltering heat of the Kansas sun.
Yeah, there is something about downtown Lawrence, but nobody can tell you exactly what it is.
"I think it's the small town attitude," said Nick Fulton, Coco Loco assistant manager.
Maybe.
"It's the cosmopolitan feel in a small Midwestern town," said Theodor Rzar, a Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop mechanic. That could be it too.
Chuck Magerl, proprietor of the Free State Brewery also has a theory.
who lives on Mass. Street, has a logical explanation for the pedestrian spirit.
"Some say it is the historic buildings, but you could go to a dozen other cities in Kansas and find more interesting architecture," he said. "It really is the spirit of the pedestrian nature."
Rzar agrees that people abandoning their cars and walking is part of the essence of the Mass.Street charm.
"A family can walk down Mass. Street, window shop, have a nice meal and spend an entire afternoon downtown," he said. "And you can't really do that in towns around Lawrence."
Sam Ventsam, a graduate student
"There is really nothing quite like walking downtown in the middle of the summer with sweat dripping from your face," said Dan Corderman, St. Louis senior.
"Parking on Mass, is a logistical nightmare," she said.
One thing that draws students to downtown Lawrence is its oasis of alcoholic beverages.
"Don't let anyone fool you," said Keith Long, Union City, Tenn., senior. "It's the bars that makes Mass. Street what it is."
Ryan Rodenburg, co-owner of the Brown Bear Brewery, agreed with Long.
"Our location downtown is essential," he said. "Where do people go when they want something to do? Mass. Street."
Maybe it's the dozens of restaurants tempting the appetite of the downtown constituency that encompasses the essence of the Mass. Street draw.
"You are never at a loss for something to eat or drink," Ventsam said. "The number of different types of food is amazing."
Nearly everyone agreed the eclectic nature of downtown is possibly its biggest charm.
"Mass. Street has a certain selection and variety that keeps it from being stale," Magerl said.
Ventsam agrees
"It is the cultural heart of the city," she said. "It has professionalism and practicality. You never know who you will see around the corner."

Mainstream, independent films available
By Levi Chronister
Kansan staff writer
Looking to see the new blockbuster movie or maybe a smaller independent film? If so, you can find a movie theater in Lawrence to meet your taste.
One of the first businesses along the south end of Iowa Street is Southwind 12 Movie Theaters. The theater, located at 3433 Iowa St., is owned by Hollywood Theaters. It features 12 screens and generally shows eight to 10 different films.
According to Ben Moore, the Kansas-Missouri District Manager for Hollywood Theaters, movies are chosen based on availability of new movies and current business. The theater's film department books films it figures will do better business, but that doesn't necessarily
mean a movie will not continue to be shown.
"We'll find a home for them all." Moore said.
A few blocks north is Hollywood Plaza 6 Theaters, also owned by Hollywood Theaters. It has six screens and features different movies than Southwind 12.
Both theaters show matinees around 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., and regularly priced shows around 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. If a movie is being shown on more than one screen, films on the second screen will start between the above times.
Student discounts at both theaters lower the cost of tickets to $4.75.
Liberty Hall, 614 Massachusetts St., features independent movies not usually seen at either of the two larger theaters.
"There was definitely a market (for independent films) in the area," Scott Bliss, Liberty Hall manager, said. "There hadn't been that opportunity before. It's kind of a natural fit."
While Liberty Hall has only two screens, seating 550 and 125 patrons, the theater also books new movies based on availability and on how well current films are selling. This can result in three or more movies at the theater.
Show times are generally around 4 p.m., 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., but concerts and other live events can alter these times. Matinees are often offered on weekends.
Specials at the theater include
Two-for-one Tuesdays, where two customers can see a movie for the price of one ticket, and $1 draws on Wednesdays.
While the types of movies may differ between the Hollywood Theaters and Liberty Hall, one similarity is that neither manager has noticed problems with keeping patrons under 17 out of R-rated movies.
"At least 60 percent of our movies are rated R, but they're not 'South Park or American Pie,' Bliss said. "That's usually not the content so the appeal to teens isn't so great."
Moore said the theaters had been checking IDs and putting employees in the hallways to make sure customers don't leave one movie and enter another.

Success recipe: Brew up business with good beer

Kansan staff writer
Lawrence is brimming with breweries, and University of Kansas students are brewing for the beer.
"I love the breweries here in town," Tim Mock, Lincoln, Neb., senior said. "They are really the only places that offer different kinds of beer that you can't find in a liquor store. And there is nothing better than a good beer."
Microbreweries have taken America by storm, but only three restaurant-microbrewery combinations have infiltrated Lawrence in the last ten years.
Free State Brewing Company, 636 Massachusetts St., was the first of its kind to come to Lawrence. Ten years ago, Chuck Magerl, owner, was writing an article about the histories of breweries in Kansas for a tabloid community paper. His research took on a life of its own, he said. The article set a lot of wheels turning, and Free State was the result.
"We didn't get into this business because it was a current fad or trend." Magerl said. "We started it more to gratify our own curiosities and dedication to a good beer."
More recently, two other breweries have joined in force. Brown Bear Brewing Co., 729 Massachusetts St., came to downtown Lawrence two years ago and Sports Page Brewery, 3512 Clinton Pkwy., was built in West Lawrence shortly thereafter.
train station decades before. The bar seems to have an atmosphere that evokes a sense of being close to nature and age-old tradition.
Each of these breweries has its own unique flavors of beers, atmosphere and clientele. Free State is known for its food, as well as for its brews. The restaurant is downtown in a building that was a
Brown Bear uses more of a party atmosphere. The combination of live music and beer makes for a wild night out in Lawrence, even though it's the smallest of the breweries.
Sports Page is just as the name suggests, a sports bar. Though it may be farther away from campus, it attracts sports fans of all ages.
There are six to nine basic beers on tap at the breweries. The beers range from a golden pale ale and a copper ale to a stout, and a little bit of everything else to satisfy customers' variety of tastes.
Shawn Schlegel, managing partner of Brown Bear Brewing Co., said they have a new speciality brew each month. They are working on an imperial stout that will debut in November.
When formulating a new recipe, brewers are allowed creativity.
"Our head brewer, Ian Adams, makes up recipes like a head chef," Schlegel said. "He takes a recipe from a different brewer and tweaks it a bit, to his liking, and
then we are left with a new beer with his signature."
Specialty beers are not the only thing that sets these breweries apart. Music also plays a role in attracting crowds. Both Brown Bear and Free State offer live music on a weekly basis.
Schlegel said he thinks that music is what sets his brewery apart. University of Kansas students seem to agree.
John Houlehan, Kansas City, Kan. senior, said that music is what initially attracted him and his friends to Brown Bear.
KIEF'S Audio/Video 24th & Iowa, Lawrence, KS. 842-1811
"We go to Brown Bear for the live music and then the beer, but we go to Free State for the beer," Houlehan said.
The breweries are no stranger to students and their huge market in Lawrence, especially for beer.
"You never neglect the students," Schlegel said. "They, and KU, are a huge part of this community."
And many students, like Mock, are just as dedicated as Magerl to finding and enjoying a good beer.
"It would be a disappointing world if they decided that only one beer was best," Magerl said.

Local venues keep the beat bumping in Lawrence
By Rob Pazell
Kansan staff writer
Live music and live music venues make the Lawrence nightlife.
It's no secret that you can find a live show any night.
Lawrence's live music venues offer audience sizes ranging from 1,000 to small bars holding no more than 200. Whatever the size, they veel in a constant stream of acts, both local and national.
For its architecture and auditorium quality sound, Liberty Hall endures as a favorite Lawrence venue.
Located at 644 Massachusetts St. since 1912, it is decorated with giant paintings on either side of the stage and on the ornate ceiling panels.
Capacity ranges from 700 to 1,000,
depending on the act. Acts visiting
Liberty Hall come from diverse musical influences.
"I rent the facility for anyone and everybody," manager Tim Griffith said. "We've done everything from Ice-T to Widespread Panic."
Coming shows at Liberty Hall include Cuban dance music in Los Van Van and bluegrass legend David Grisman.
Formerly a movie theater, the Granada specializes in national acts but also does its fair share for the local community, holding free shows every Sunday night.
When the Granada isn't grooving as a dance club, it is a live-music hotbed.
Recent sellouts at the Granada include Rusted Root and Marilyn Manson.
as bringing traveling acts from around the country.
The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., continues its tradition as the main home of Lawrence's local scene as well
With a capacity of about 500, the Bottleneck is a traditional choice for bands because of its size.
Acts such as Cibo Matto, Moe., and Henry Rollins have packed the place. Coming acts at the Bottleneck include System of Down, Superchunk, and Carl Denson.
Many small bars act as counterparts to their larger cousins.
The Brown Bear Brewing Co., 729 Massachusetts St., is part of the historic House Building, which survived William Quantrill's infamous raid during the Civil War. A restaurant during dinner hours, the Brown Bear clears tables off of a stage at night where a wide range of live acts play to a 21-and-old crowd.
"I try to be as diverse as possible
when I book music," co-owner Ryan Rodenbang said.
Regular acts at the Brown Bear include acoustic folk rock by Celia on Tuesdays, open jam sessions with Mudslinger on Wednesdays and five-piece acoustic rock by Sturgin Mill on Mondays.
The Jazzhaus, 926 1/2 Massachusetts St., guarantees live music Wednesday through Saturday.
Also a 21-and-older establishment, the Jazzhaus features a variety of music from many genres in an intimate, candle-lit setting. Tim Reynolds and Matt "Guitar" Murphy are among the names that have graced the stage.
"The music at the Jazzhaus is never the same," said Brett Pitner, Jazzhaus bartender. "You get something completely different each time."
The Jazzhaus will welcome students
with a back-to-school week of funk and jazz featuring Space Pocket, the Jesse Jackson 5, and Boogle Chylde playing Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, respectively.
The Replay Lounge. 946 Massachusetts St., continues its tradition of hard-edged style featuring punk, rockabilly, or just straight-up rock-and-roll for its 21-and-older patrons.
Local bands like the Teriyakis and Kelly's Heros tear up this joint, which has always had great compatibility with Lawrence
"The Replay pretty much appeals to everyone," bartender Gavin Johnston said.
The Replay Lounge starts its fall music lineup with rock-and-roll from Captured by Robots on Friday.
Classy Lawrence bars beat obnoxious Westport
—Edited by Derek Prater
Commentary
In this area, there are two youth hot spots that everyone knows about:
Lawrence and Westport.
POLICE
Both offer an inordinate amount of places to get liquored up. Both cater to a similar group, although Westport skews a little older.
Nick Bartkoski
Kansan Columnist
Other than that,
they're similar in the same way that hell is heaven's dark reflection. For everything that's good about the Lawrence scene, there's a grotesque parallel in Westport.
I've actually begun saying prayers to God that he'll be kind enough to strike me down before the phrase "Hey, wanna go out, I know this place in Westport" even enters my vocabulary.
If you go into a bar in Lawrence, one of the first things you'll notice is the really obnoxious guy. Usually he's drunk, but not always. The rule of the night is to avoid the obnoxious guy.
I should know, it felt kind of awkward when even the bartender wouldn't speak to me at the Wheel.
But in Westport it's an entirely different dynamic. You can't avoid the drunk obnoxious guy. EVERYONE is the drunk obnoxious guy. I'm sure in their heart of hearts they've got their redeeming qualities — like they help keep the ground from floating off into space — but everyone there is pushy, rude and, well, obnoxious.
With this fact in mind, one can only wonder how this large a collection of obnoxious people can enjoy themselves, unless of course they enjoy being around other obnoxious people so that they can be more obnoxious.
In Lawrence, there is subtle pressure to hook up and understandably so.
to hook up and understandably so. Ultimately people go out to meet each other. Both men and women will try to gloss over their imperfections and look their best.
However, in Westport, there's a Final
Solution-like impetus to take someone home and get it on.
Women come dressed not to say "I'm worth it," as in Lawrence, but "I'm willing."
The last time I was in Westport I saw a woman with a glow stick in her shirt. The only thing she could have done that would be more audacious would be to walk around with a neon sign with arrows pointing to her chest reading: "My Breasts."
Most of the truly stupid people in Lawrence are much younger, and that kind of forgives them.
The harsh truth is that even at 18, one still has a lot of maturing to do, so when younger adults do something stupid, it's expected.
To be honest, I'd expect people to have their act together by age 26.
I know that expectation only gives me four years to grow up, but who knows, maybe that will be one of the millennium-ending miracles that signals the end times.
I do have to say there's one thing I do like about the people who party in Westport: As a general rule, they don't park in the scholarship halls' parking lot when they go out.
Sure, our parking lot is too far away for Westport, but just close enough for the truly inconsiderate on their way to the Wheel. B
ut as I said before, these people are the crème de la crème of obnoxious people; I could see them walking the 60 to 70 miles just to spite us.
If you're older than 21, go to the Red Lion where there's a good environment and you get free popcorn.
So if you're looking to go out, don't drive for an hour just to go to a really sad parody of Lawrence.
Or if you're under 21, go see a show at the Bottleneck, where you can enjoy both a cool audience and a cool band.
Just don't park in my lot. Unless, of course, you want to be on a first-name basis with Quality Tow.
Barkoski is a Basehor senior in journalism.

Lawrence recording studios rock area bands
Jessica Dawes
Kansan staff writer
Local recording studios give Lawrence-area bands an opportunity to get their music out of the garage and onto store shelves.
Two recording studios in the Lawrence area are Mercy Record Studio and Red House Recording Studio. Also located in Lawrence are smaller project studios.
Red House, 701 Main St. in Eudora is one of the more interesting studios around.
Its building is 160 years old and has been home to a department store, a hotel, a general store and a funeral home.
"Red House has a neat historical feel," said Greg Franklin, Olathe senior. "One of their recording booths is in an old vault that the hotel used to store valuables in."
Because it was formerly a funeral home, some think that the building is haunted.
"Once a client told me that he saw a ghost, but I don't know if I believe him," said Casey Baum, Red House engineer.
Franklin's band, The Believe it or Nots, chose to record at Red House because of the studio's reputation
"We didn't feel rushed, and they made us feel really comfortable," Franklin said.
The average time that local bands spend in the studio is from 2 to 3 days. The
Believe it or Nots spent two full days recording and mixing.
"They gave us freedom to decide how we wanted everything to sound," Franklin said.
Expensive studio time has led some Lawrence musicians to record at home where they are not pressured to produce music under time limitations.
Most local bands pay for their own studio time, which costs from $30 to $60 per hour. Costs vary depending on how long a band spends in the studio, and weekday rates are generally cheaper than weekend rates.
"At home I have control of the music and time to experiment with it, instead of recording under a time
"In Lawrence, we don't have bands come in and spend eight months in the studio and $250,000 on a record to achieve a perfect plush sound. But for under $1,000, any band can make a decent record."
restriction," said Steve Squire, Lawrence resident.
Travis Millard, KU graduate, has recorded at Lawrence-area studios in the past but also records his music at home using a four track.
The four track allows musicians to record several instruments and vocals at different times, mix them and then play all the tracks together.
Matt LaPoint Mercy Record Studio engineer
This permits musicians to edit mistakes without having to start a song from the beginning.
"I basically have a mini home recording studio." Millard said. "There is more chance for discovery with a four track."
University of Kansas students represent about 70 percent of the clients at Mercy, LaPoint said.
Manufactured in cassette and digital formats, four-track recorders are widely available at music stores for between $200 and $500. The digital format uses a home computer to store the recorded music.
"A lot of bands should consider experimenting with four tracks before they come in to the studio to record," LaPoint said. "Bands are overlooking this option, and it gives them a chance to practice arrangements before they come in and pay for studio time."
Matt LaPoint, Mercy Record Studio engineer, agreed.
Mercy, 735 1/2 B New Hampshire St., began as a record label in the fall of 1992.
Mercy sought out new bands, signed them to their label, paid for their recording costs and promoted their music.
In 1995, the record-label disbanded and Mercy became the recording studio that it is today.
"Any music you can think of, we've
recorded here—everything from jazz bands to classical string quartets to hardcore metal." LaPoint said.
Although Mercy is no longer a record label, it still supports coming bands.
"At our facility, we actually have bands camp out with us while they record," LaPoint said, "We have showers here, as well as a kitchenette and sink."
LaPoint said that he enjoyed creating specific sounds for musicians.
"Someone might come in and describe how they want something to sound," LaPoint said. "As a musician and engineer, I can figure that out for them so that they don't have to waste their energy on technical stuff."
Although Lawrence-area recording studios aren't equipped with the same technology as major-label studios, Lawrence studios can still compete, LaPoint said.
"In Lawrence, we don't have bands come in and spend eight months in the studio and $250,000 on a record to achieve a perfect, plush sound," LaPoint said. "But for under $1,000, any band can make a decent record."
Once the recording process is finished, bands may purchase their album on vinyl, tape or compact disk.
Most bands promote and distribute their own music.
Many local record stores allow any band to sell its music under consignment and take only a small percentage of the profit.
"We are more than happy to help any band get their music out," said Bill Corrigan, manager of Alley Cat Records, 717 Massachusetts St.

Lawrence mansion receives healing touch
Designers donating time, talent and care to restoration project
By Lisa John
Kansan managing editor
Karla Nathan stretches on tiptoe to reach the uppermost leaves on a mural in the red brick mansion at 1613 Tennessee St.
Nathan is one of several dozen area decorators preparing for Designers' Showcase, working to restore the luster of the 138-year-old, 21-room house.
The Designers' Showcase is sponsored by Cottonwood, Inc., an organization that assists people who have developmental disabilities. Kesha Larson, director of communications, said the house would be open for public tours in September and October as a fund-raiser for Cottonwood.
Designers have been working on the event for more than two years.
Their advice helped.
"Those ladies took us under their wings and showed us everything they knew," Larson said.
This month when the Riordans moved out of the house into temporary quarters, the action began. On July 19, decorators, painters and carpenters went to work.
By midweek, it was clear that changes were in progress. Amid the wet paint and the array of ladders and equipment, the decorators' vision was emerging.
In each area of the house, an easel sports the designers' plans, including fabrics to be used on furniture and windows, carpet samples, paint colors and pictures of furniture.
"The designers are donating their time and talents," Larson said. "The kitchen is the only thing that's separate. Kitchens by Kleweno in Kansas City is doing that at a discounted rate for the homeowners."
In the dining room Wednesday, Markie Bieri, owner of Imagine That Designs, balanced on an eight-foot ladder, sponging gold paint onto the ceiling. Working from another ladder across the room was her friend, Jeannne Wyatt of Ranchview Floral, Overland Park, who is volunteering to help Bieri. Jennifer Catlin, owner of Two Girls and
a Brush, Lawrence, sat cross-legged on the floor applying a fresh coat of ivory paint to the wainscot.
Bieri said that three layers of flooring were removed before the original floor was revealed — a hardwood painted ivory and decorated with painted red Cupids, cats, birds and horses.
"I have no idea who painted this, but what I like about it is it's very whimsical," Bieri said. She said she planned the new decor using the ivory and reds.
In the viewing room, David Gawell, stood on a ladder and dipped his brush in ivory paint to repaint the molding around a window.
"When I first moved to town 12 years ago, this house was one of the first things that I noticed. My friends told me it was the Maupin house and that I'd never get to see the inside of it," he said. "And here I am."
Gawell, who works for Painted Ambient Co., praised the workmanship of the house.
"If there were a tornado coming through the center of Lawrence, 'I'd feel safe here,' he said. "They built these things to last forever."
Nathan, the artist who was painting bathroom mural, said she became involved with the project when she volunteered to help. "I ended up getting a room to do," she said.
The bathroom she's redecorating is no ordinary bathroom. The 9-by-9 foot space directly above the front porch includes four windows that stretch from floor to ceiling. A chandelier hangs below a plaster medallion, and ornate woodwork outlines the room. The ceilings are 14-feet tall.
Nathan plans to furnish the room with an antique hamper she bought at a garage sale, a cabinet and a canvas floor cloth that she said will look like a garden pond with stepping stones.
She smiles as she speaks of the activity going on in the house. Like many of the others working there, Nathan's clothes and skin are paint-spattered, but that doesn't dampen her spirits.
"It's pretty exciting to be involved in a project like this. Every time I come here I see something new that's been done." she said
The key for success in a project like this is flexibility, said Julee Travis, Cottonwood committee coordinator.
"It's giving the designers enough freedom to create a really spectacular display for the public to see, but at the same time trying to protect the history and integrity of the house," Travis said.
Known to local historians as the Ludington Thacher home, the house will be open for public viewing from Sept. 24 through Oct.17. For information about tickets and tours, call 840-1604.

Beat the heat with a cold treat; ice cream cools customers
Kansan staff writer
By Panyaluk Maneengam Kansan staff writer
Hot winds and searing sunshine mean it's time to scream for ice cream.
Because a scoop of this cool, sweet stuff can give people a short break from the heat, long lines of people has been a common scene at many ice cream stores in Lawrence.
Summer is the busiest time of the year for Baskin-Robbins. Normally the store uses two employees, but an additional employee joins the staff in the summer, Laden said.
"The hotter the weather is, the more people want to come here," said Penny Laden, employee at Baskin Robbins 31 Flavors Ice Cream Store. 1524 W. 23rd St
As temperatures pushed 100 degrees, a
crowd of customers also gathered in front of the counter at I Can't Believe It's Yogurt (ICBY). 2223 Louisiana St.
"Today is so hot," said Sarah Kreyling, Chesterfield, Mo., senior in communication studies and new ICBY staffer. "That's why a lot of people come in and want to have some cold ice cream."
At Sylas & Maddy's Home Made Ice Cream, 1014 Massachusetts St., unique flavors are made in the store daily.
"In summer we are busier than usual," said Betsy Madl, a two-year scooper in this downtown store. "Many times we have people in line to the front door and there is not enough tables for them to eat here."
Penny Annie's Sweet Shoppe, 845 Massachusetts St. offers popped-
corns, lemonade and a variety of canay. But this time of year Blue Bunny ice cream is most popular.
"In fall and winter, we can sell more candy and chocolate as a present for Christmas or New Year's day," said employee Macalei Kristolic. "But for summer, people come here and ask for more ice cream and lemonade since it's hot outside there."
Not only does summer heat bring people to ice cream stores, but flavor itself is temptation they can't refuse.
With 38 flavors at Baskin-Robbins, 27 flavors at Penny Annie's and 40 flavors at Sylas & Maddy's, ice cream lovers have many options. No matter how often they want to escape from the heat outside, they can find new and different flavors they might have never tried before.
They might have never tried before.
"We bring in different flavors every two weeks usually, and we also have low fat, non-fat and no-sugar-added ice cream," Laden said. Peanut butter and chocolate are two favorite flavors at Baskin-Robbins. "Most people have them not just because it doesn't make them fat, but it also tastes really good, she said.
At Sylas & Maddy's, besides having many flavors to choose from, people can even invent their own flavors.
"We let people write down the flavor they think that would be good, which they can invent by themselves and put it in the box," Madi said. "We'll go through it every month, and if we find something interesting, that person will get a certificate and free scoop from our store."
With a waffle cone of cappuccino chip in hand, Peter Gegenheimer said that he went out to eat ice cream once a week, usually in spring and summer. That's because the ice cream store is a good, cool place that he and his family like. He was with his daughter, Karin, who was licking a cone of mint chocolate.
Even people who rarely think of going out for ice cream find themselves making their homage to that frosty mecca as temperatures peak.
"The first thing I would like to have during a hot day is iced tea," said Karen Ronne of Kansas City, Mo., holding a cone of chocolate chip in her hand. "But today, it's very hot."

Food stores offer students variety and convenience
By Lesley Simmons Kansan staff writer
Students choose where to buy food based on rigorous criteria including price, quality, location and wherever they end up. Dillons stores are familiar to most Kansans, but Lawrence also has a variety of other stores catering to students' changing needs and preferences.
The Community Mercantile Co-op, 901 Mississippi St., specializes in organic foods. Students who are lactose-intolerant or vegan can find a large selection of dairy-free products.
"They have yummy juices and you can grind your own almond butter," said Ryen Anderson, Lawrence sophomore in graphic design.
He said that students on a budget probably could not afford to buy all of their food from the Merc but that it had good deals on bulk grains and snips.
The Oriental Supermarket, 711 W. 23rd St., stocks foods from around the world.
Elizabeth King, Topeka senior in psychology and Russian, went to the Oriental Supermarket looking for a special dessert that her best friend from high school had once brought her from Taiwan. She found it.
"I bought some pineapple cakes and a coconut drink," she said.
Dillons has three locations in Lawrence and will soon add a fourth store at the corner of Sixth and Waukarusa streets. The Dillons at 1015 W. 23rd St. and at 3000 W. Sixth St. are both open 24 hours. The third store is at 1740 Massachusetts St.
Mindy Sigle, Wichita junior in journalism, works in customer service at the Dillons on 23rd Street. She said she saw a lot of students when she worked.
"I go to parties with my friends, and people say,
'Hey, you guys work at Dillons," she said.
Checkers Foods, 2300 Louisiana St., is also open 24 hours. Every Thursday is "Banana Day" at Checkers, the day when bananas sell for 19 cents per pound.
Customers sack their own groceries, which helps keep costs down, said Rick Garcia, Los Angeles graduate student in education and stocker at Checkers.
One thing surprised Garcia when he started his job — the amount of French bread the store sold each week. "We go through tons of that stuff," he said.

Kansan campus editor
Are you dreading dorm food? Too busy studying to get out for a bite? Suffering from the post-party munchies?
Food is just a phone call away. Lawrence has numerous eateries offering delivery service — the only problem is deciding which to dial up.
Nate Constantinescu, Baldwin junior, said that cost is his first consideration.
"Whatever is cheap." he said, listing Pizza Shuttle and Royal Peking Restaurant as his top choices.
Ordering food for delivery is especially cost-effective if the servings are big enough to last two meals. Hilary Wisler, Lawrence junior, said that the Jade Garden was her favorite for that reason.
Another deciding factor is what kind of a deal you can get, Wisler said. She will often go with whoever is offering a special.
Nabil Masoud, Jordan freshman, said when he was concerned about his budget he would order Gumby's ("It's delicious, and it's a good price"), but sometimes he liked to spend a little more and eat at Bambino's Italian Cafe. He said he enjoyed the restaurant's pasta and salads.
Frequently the decision of where to order from depends on what's open. Even late at night, Gumby can be counted on to bring hot pizza to your door. It is open until 2:30 a.m. Monday through Wednesday; 3:30 a.m. Friday and Saturday, and 2 a.m. Sunday.
For those who are interested in something a little more exotic, like a tempeh reuben, falafel or hummus, there is the Glass Onion. While it does serve meat, it also offers a wide selection of vegetarian dishes.
Most pizza and Chinese delivery services are free, but some establishments charge a fee of $1 or less. Many services have a minimum order amount of $10. Even if the delivery service is free, though, tipping drivers is a common practice.
Brian Gee, a Yello Sub employee, said that $1 was an average tip for drivers. A higher amount is always fine, he said, if the service is good.
When it comes to convenience, delivery services can't be beat. But watch those late night pizza binges — too many of them can be costly when it means buying all new blue jeans.

Wee hours find many establishments willing to squelch hunger
By Rob Pazell
Kansan staff writer
It's 3 a.m. and that feeling of emptiness overwhelms your stomach. The refrigerator sadly contains a mere stick of butter and a piece of cheese.
The kitchen cabinets have nothing more than a can of coffee. Drive-thru windows have closed and pizza places have stopped delivering You come to the conclusion that all hope is lost and your stomach rumbles in agreement.
But, hope is not lost. Lawrence has a handful of late night eateries that can satisfy any taste.
Perkins Restaurant, 1711 W.
23rd St., offers breakfast meals galore. The menu includes omelettes and pancakes, plus
sandwiches and other nonbreakfast bites, and is open 24 hours a day.
Village Inn Pancake House, 821 Iowa, serves the same purpose, offering pancakes with every breakfast entree. Both spots have traditionally interesting mixes of customers, ranging from late-night students to the partied out.
Much to the delight of many, IHOP, a.k.a. The International House of Pancakes, may open a restaurant in Lawrence in the near future.
If breakfast foods don't float your boat in the wee hours of morning, then hamburgers might do the job. Steak and Shake, 3111 Nieder Rd., near Iowa and 31st streets, serves up tasty steak burgers and thick milkshakes, in a 1950s diner
atmosphere. For a different twist try the chili, or check out the numerous other delights on the menu. This St. Louis-based chain is also open 24 hours.
If sweets and baked treats are your style, Munchers Bakery, 925 Iowa, may be the answer. Chocolate doughnuts, cinnamon rolls and cream cheese brownies, among other savories, are offered around the clock at this traditional bakery.
If all else fails, Lawrence sports all night grocery stores, such as Hy-Vee, 3504 Clinton Pkwy., and Dillons, 3000 W. 6th St., serving West Lawrence. Dillons at 1015 W. 23rd St., stays open 24 hours a day, and is a short trip from campus and the residence halls.

Fresh apples ready for harvest.
By Mindie Miller Kansan staff writer
At 5:30 on Saturday morning, most Lawrence residents are sleeping soundly. But in the 1000 block of Vermont Street, a flurry of activity emanates from a parking lot where area vendors sell their products. They arrange fruits, vegetables, baked goods, fresh flowers and crafts as the sun rises.
At 6:30, a bell signals that the Lawrence farmers market is officially open for business. Smiling customers meander among the various booths, taking in the sights and scents and purchase items.
This open-air market has been operating in Lawrence since 1975, when it was held behind the Douglas County Courthouse. In 1982, Downtown Lawrence, Inc. began sponsoring the market, and it was moved to its current location. The market begins on the second Saturday in May and ends on the second Saturday in November. It is open from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays and from 6:30 to 10:30 a.m. Satdays.
Mark Schmidt, owner of Cinnam Man, Ltd., a gourmet bakery, said he has been selling cinnamon rolls, coffeeecakes, various flavored muffins and homemade breads at the market for four years. He has some regular customers, but his most effective form of advertising was verbal.
"Word of mouth has been good to me." Schmidt said.
Across the lot from Schmidt's booth, Ron and Renee Goolby.
owners of Agape Cacti & Critters, sell potted cactus gardens and succulents, or cacti without needles. Ron Goolsby explained that water could be a cactus's worst enemy.
"Water can kill cacti real quick. They don't need water for four to six weeks," Goolsby said. "Cacti love sunlight, so you can leave them outside. As long as the pot has drain holes, Mother Nature will do the rest."
Goolsby said that he and his wife had been coming to the market for only two months, but that he enjoyed the atmosphere.
"You meet people. You see people. I saw a girl last week I hadn't seen for 20 years," he said. "Plus, the smells are great."
Market customers share Goolsby's enthusiasm. Diane Bannerman-Juracek and her 4-year-old son, Brandon, are regulars.
"Brandon and I come every Saturday. Brandon always wants a sweet roll, and then we go to South Park," Bannerman-Juracek said. "The market is great."
Carol Thrasher, farmers market manager, said her favorite story was about eager customers.
"We do have customers who arrive about the same time the vendors do — about 5:30 or 6 a.m. And in the fall, when it's not light until later, they bring flashlights to view the produce," she said.
She said that customers arriving early could select the items they wanted to buy, but that they could not actually pay for anything until she rang the bell at 6:30.
The farmers market attracts an eclectic group. Thrasher said she saw many KU faculty members and some students as customers, but that most students don't like to get up that early on Saturday mornings.
"That's one reason I'd like to see the hours later," Thrasher said.
She said the hours were early on Saturday because much of the produce suffered in the heat. To beat restrictions presented by the weather, some market members would like to see changes in the market's format.
"There is one vendor in particular who feels we should have a 'proper' market with a permanent covering, like the market in Kansas City," Thrasher said. "We'd like the city to build us a beautiful enclosure with ceiling fans in another location where we'd have not only more stalls but also parking for customers."
Thrasher said the market had planned some special theme days to attract customers on Saturrdays. On Aug. 7, the theme will be "Do Play with Your Food." Activities will include zucchini car races, vegetable sculptures and potato stamping.
"Learn to Eat Your Five a Day"
will be the theme on Sept. 25.
Thrasher said that Nancy O'Connor, nutrition educator for Community Mercantile, would give a presentation of the food pyramid
On Oct. 9, the market will feature pumpkin carving, caramel apples, cider sampling, mums and kettle corn as part of its "Fall Harvest."

Freedom no more than a train hop away
By Lisa John
Kansan managing editor
Once a hobo, not always a hobo.
When John Reimringer gets into a car, he fastens his seat belt. Next, he locks all the doors. These are not the habits one would expect from a man who, 15 years ago, spent his spring break at the University of Kansas hopping freight trains.
Today, Reimringer is hesitant to share the details of his journey. For one thing, he is working toward a master's of fine arts degree in creative writing, and this is a story he would like to work up into fiction sometime. For another, he doesn't recommend that anyone hop freights.
"It's a good way to get killed," he said.
It's a good way to get killed. He said.
That's what his parents told him when he called home and told them his plans in the spring of 1984.
"The they weren't too happy about it," he said. "But I figured that if I got killed, they'd want to know. If I had told them I was going to Daytona Beach and then they found out I got killed on a freight train in New Mexico, it would have been a shock."
But the burning question is, when there was the alternative to spend spring break in a college mecca on the beach, why would anyone choose to hop freights?
"A friend of mine from the dorm had done it before, and I read about it, and
I was reading Jack Kerouac at the time — so it sounded like a fun thing to do," Reimrineg said.
In fact, the 22-year-old Reimringer had been reading "The Dharma Bums," story by Jack Kerouac that begins with Ray Smith bumming a ride on a freight train.
"Ijust wanted to travel and get out of Kansas," Reimringer said.
But in his own way.
He and a fellow KU student, Jonathan Lee, who had experience hopping freights in Nebraska, packed old blankets and old clothes in army-surplus packs, and on a cold spring night, headed for the Topeka railroad vards.
"We had set our destination as Alamogordo, New Mexico, where my friend had been born," Reimringer said.
"So we spent a long night walking around the yards, asking people who work there where the trains were going."
After finding no luck at the Union Pacific lines, they walked to the Cotton Belt yards, south of the river.
"It it were four in the morning; we were cold and tired." he said. "We went up and knocked on the door of the yard office. We'd checked to make sure there weren't any railroad detectives around. These guys in the yard office recognized us at once as college students out for kicks — we were trying to act like we were hardened bums. But they
looked at us and said, 'Y'all wouldn't happen to be college boys, now would you?"
Reiminger said that he and Lee had told them where they wanted to go.
"They checked a computer printout and said, 'We've got a freight coming in that will be here in about 20 minutes, and it will slow down when it comes over the Kansas River trestle, and you guys can hop on it there — but be careful," he said.
They told Reimringer and Lee that there would be some grain cars near the front of the train that they could get on. The young men checked out the area, looking for obstacles along the track.
"We were also thinking. If I fall when climbing on board, I'm going to push myself away from the train," he said.
nfly away from the crash, he said.
The moment arrived.
"The train came over the trestle moving slowly," Reimringer said. "We ran alongside it and jumped on the back of a grain car — they have ladders and you can grab the ladder with one hand and then with the other hand, and then you jummed."
His first jump was nearly a fall.
Of course they preferred to hop on trains that were standing still.
"When I jumped, I did miss with one foot, and I had the sense of swinging, and then I caught the ladder with my shin, which hurt a lot, and then I climbed on up," he said.
"But we didn't that first night — that's
called catching it on the fly," Reimringer said.
The seven-day odyssey seemed like it was longer.
He talked for nearly an hour, telling of adventures that included run-ins with the law, as well as run-ins with the dubious sorts — the hardened railroad bums
Their journey took them as far as Juarez, Mexico; their experiences took them farther.
— the ones around whom Reimringer said he thought twice about falling asleep in their presence.
They came to know life without guaranteed shelter. They felt the pang of hunger and faced the social isolation that those who live in the grimy world of "On the Road" feel when greeted by cold stares at a small cafe.
He said that a comforting thought throughout the trip had been the knowledge that, no matter how dirty, tired, cold or hungry they were, as college students, they always knew they had a way out.
A stunning revelation to Reimringer was that he didn't really agree with this quote by Kerouac after all: "There's nothing so noble as to put up with a few inconveniences like snakes and dirt for the sake of absolute freedom."
"We were constantly in danger from both sides of the law," he said.
"Having done it, I don't think we were free at all."

South Lawrence shopping district provides a place for spending spree
By Mindy Sigle Special to the Kansan
"You can find everything in South Lawrence," Harmon said.
With a gift certificate she received from Best Buy, Erin Harmon, Lawrence freshman, had to go to Kansas City to redeem it. But when she returned with her new microwave, she discovered that Lawrence's Sears had the same microwave—on sale.
South Lawrence, generally everything south of 23rd Street on Iowa Street, has expanded in the past few years. SuperTarget, J C Penney, Sears, Wal-Mart, Kohl's and K-Mart occupy the area that was once nearly desolate.
"I wish that my aunt and uncle would have given me a gift certificate to Target instead."
Michael Young, acting long-range planner for the city, thinks that the growth is good for college students.
Harmon said she was impressed with the selection at SuperTarget.
"The big box stores are where college students would be able to afford clothes," Young said.
But the six, big chain stores are not the only stores that attract people.
"You can practically find any car that you want down there." Young said.
The Lawrence Auto Plaza is located in South Lawrence. So are a number of restaurants, including Applebee's Neighborhood Grill and Bar and Chili's Grill and Bar. Banks and grocery stores like Aldi's and Food 4 Less are also there.
Construction sites show that more retail stores are moving to the area. One site, located between Payless Shoeresource and PetCo Animal Supplies, will become Pier 1 Imports. It is moving from Massachusetts Street in Lawrence's downtown district.
Young said other chains that have proposed to build in South Lawrence include Old Navy, Office Max and Home Depot; and room will be available for many other stores to join the growing area.
Jana Smoot, Chanute sophomore, said that the stores would not exist had it not been for the college students.
"College students are the ones who pay the bills," Smoot said. "We're the ones that go out to eat a lot, and we're the ones that shop a lot. Without the help of us, there would be no commerce here."
"When you live in a college town, everything has to be geared around the college," Shurtz said.
Still, Harmon thinks that she has found a diamond in the rough with SuperTarget.
"My friend Katie and I have a three-times-a-day limit," she said. "Life just wouldn't be the same without Target."

Community theater provides alternative
By Matthew Friedrichs
Kansan editor
The stage at the Lawrence Community Theatre, 1501 New Hampshire St., juts into the crowd. The audience sits on three sides of the action during plays.
That's the same type of reach the theater has in the community. KU students, an occasional faculty member and Lawrence residents collaborate on some of the better community theater productions in the area, said Richard Walker, administrative assistant and musical director at the theater.
"This is a very high level of quality for a community theater." he said.
Students who do not want to try out for University Theatre productions or who are not cast in KU productions often audition for shows at the community theater.
Jason Hart, a recent KU graduate, starred in "Forever Plaid." Kari Wahlgren, another recent graduate, starred in the theater's production of "Our Town."
The theater stages one or two musicals a year and a combination of comedy and drama, with an occasional farce thrown in.
This season will include "Raisin in the Sun," a collaborative effort with the English Alternative Theatre. Paul Lim, associate professor of English and coordinator
Tickets for the 160 theater seats vary in price, but students can buy the cheapest tickets, a $7 special, for Thursday night shows.
of the English Alternative Theatre, will direct the play.
Students interested in auditioning for shows can call the theater or watch for announcements of upcoming productions. Walker said auditions usually take place five to seven weeks before the show is scheduled to open.

Students who do not want to act, but want to get involved, can volunteer to usher, design sets, design lights, work with costumes and props, or work on show crews.

Naturalist continues snake-chasing
He would rather have a snake bite than a serum
Most people run from rattlesnakes. Henry Fitch chases them.
By John Franey Kansan staff writer
Fitch has been bitten by snakes too many times to recall but only six times by poisonous species. Twice rattlers and four times copperheads have struck.
Bookshelves full of volumes with titles such as "The Lizards of Costa Rica" and "Snakes of California" surround Fitch in the dining room of the modest ranch home that sits on the reservation. Daily log books lie scattered about. On the wall above the couch hangs the painting of a bright green lizard. Anolis fitchii the title.
"Copperheads normally don't kill people," he said. "In fact snake-bite serum is harder to take than a copperhead bite. I would rather have a copperhead bite."
Fitch, professor emeritus of ecology and evolutionary biology for whom the 590-acre Fitch Natural History Reservation is named, has been chasing snakes and nearly every other animal that slithers, flies or crawls most of his life. He will turn 90 this Christmas.
The iguana-like lizard was discovered in the Andes in 1971 by William E. Duellman, curator emeritus of herpetology at KU's Natural History Museum, and named for his long-time colleague because Fitch had the only published field observations of the lizards.
"I used to hunt snakes when I was little," Fitch said. "Everyone was afraid of them, and if I had one, I could cause a group of adults to scatter. It was a powerful feeling."
"It it's quite an honor to have a species named after you," Fitch said.
The lizard is not the only species named for Fitch. There are other animals with the fitchi moniker, and he has discovered and named several new species himself.
Fitch grew up on an apple and peach orchard in the Rogue River Valley of southern Oregon. There he began studying animals of all types at an early age, which led him to pursue a degree in zoology at the University of Oregon. After receiving his bachelor's degree in 1930, he headed to the University of California at Berkeley for his master's and doctorate degrees.
However, he is probably best known for his ongoing 50-year study of the ecology as a whole on the Natural History Reservation, where he has lived and conducted his research with Virginia, his wife of 53 years.
He joined the KU faculty as an ecology instructor and Director of the Natural History Reserve in 1948.
"I used to hunt snakes when I was little. Everyone was afraid of them, and if I had one, I could cause a group of adults to scatter. It was a powerful feeling."
"When Henry and I were going together, we used to spend our dates snake hunting," Virginia said.
One of the most respected naturalists in the world, Fitch has published more than 150 papers dealing not only with snakes, but also with mammals, birds, spiders, mollusks and plants. His latest publication, a book titled "A Kansas Snake Community: Composition and Change Over 50 Years" is an indepth study of the snakes on the reservation. It's the longest study of its kind on record.

with him in the field and at home on the reservation where they raised their three children. Two of the children, Alice and John, are now college biology professors in other states. The third, Chet, a carpenter and handyman, lives nearby and occasionally helps his father out on the reservation.
Although the reservation has been Fitch's home since 1948, his research has taken him all over the world from the semiarid San Joaquin Valley of central California where he conducted research on red tailed hawks and rattlesnakes, to the lush rain forests of Nicaragua.
There he helped the Sandanista government in the '80's with an iguanas conservation program. Iguanas are an important source of protein for Central Americans, and because of excessive hunting, their numbers are dwindling.
Trapping animals and trudging through deserts and rain forests can be dangerous work. A rattlesnake bite in California caused Fitch's arm to swell to three times its normal size. It left him immobilized for days, but he didn't go to the hospital. (I lost my wife.)
got a snot or serum, Fitch said.
"I'm glad I didn't have to go through the rattlesnake bites, that was before we were married," Virginia said. "The copperhead bites are bad enough."
"I just went to the doctor and got a shot of serum." Fitch said.
But the snake bites were minor compared to the accident Fitch had on the reserve last
March when he became disoriented and fell 20 feet into a ravine.
While tagging trees on the reservation for a plant succession study, he lost track of time and was overdue for his daily snack of fruit needed to bolster his blood sugar.
He has been a diabetic for 26 years. Suffering from an insulin reaction, he lost his way in the dark and ended up at the bottom of a ravine.
Worried when he was late,
Virginia called the Douglas
County Sheriff's Department,
and the search for Fitch began.
Weakened from hypoglycemia and unable to move because of a leg injury he suffered in the fall, he spent a cold night in the ravine as he helplessly watched a search helicopter circle overhead.
A man walking on a wooden bridge surrounded by dense foliage.
Unable to locate Fitch in the dense woods, the search party of nearly 100 was called off around 4:30 a.m.
The search resumed at first light, and Fitch was found four hours later. He was taken out of the woods and flown to the University of Kansas Medical Center.

"They practically nikednapped me," Fitch said. "They held me for two days before I finally persuaded them to let me out."
The accident didn't keep him down for long. He has resumed his research, and although he retired in 1981, he still teaches elementary, high school and KU
biology classes about natural history on the reserve.
"I think it's known as fortitude," William E. Duellman said of Fitch.
Duellman said Fitch has set a standard for all field biologists.
"That's his backyard, and he knows every tree and critter in there," Duellman said.

Some students 'donate' plasma to get quick-cash
By Stephanie McCarty Kanson staff writer
Area newspapers include advertisements that offer a chance to sell body fluids for up to $100 cash.
Nabl Biomedical Center's advertisements state that this is a good way for students to earn money: "Especially when you're broke and want to take a date to a movie."
After seeing a similar adar, Darren Anderson, Shawnee senior, went to Nabi immediately after class.
"My girlfriend expected me to get her something for our anniversary, but I didn't know how I would afford a gift," Anderson said. "It seemed to be a good way to get $100 fairly quickly."
But donating plasma is more than just a money-maker. Plasma, the liquid part of the blood, is important because it can be changed into life-saving medicines. Plasma volume-expanders are used to restore fluid volume in patients who have lost too much blood due to surgery, injury and life-or-death emergencies.
Plasma is used in bleeding and infection control. The plasma contains immune globulins which provide immediate protection against infection in patients who have impaired immune systems.
Christine Mondt, Salina graduate student, has been donating plasma twice a month for three years
"I have never really experienced any major problems from donating," Mondt said. "But I have gotten
light-headed."
KU students count for about 20 percent of Nabi's donations in Lawrence.
After filling out release forms, potential donors must go through a series of tests.
A nurse asks the donor about his or her medical history and checks his blood pressure, temperature and pulse. The nurse takes a blood sample to measure the protein in the plasma, as well as to determine the donor's blood type.
"The person at the front desk pricked my finger to verify that my blood was okay." Anderson said. "She also told me to go pee in a cup. Afterwards, I was supposed to go home until they contacted me with the results of the tests.
On Anderson's second visit, he began the process called plasmapheresis, where the nurse extracted blood from his arm. The machine separated the plasma from the red blood cells, which were returned to his body.
"The needle for the procedure was huge," Anderson said. "It was as thick as the plastic part in the middle of a ball-point pen that holds the ink."
Tracee Nelson, Nabi receptionist supervisor, said that donors should not be afraid of the procedure.
The entire procedure lasts 35 to 60 minutes.
"Even though we use a 16-gauge needle, there is nothing to be worried about," Nelson said. "It feels just like the needle that is used when giving blood at blood banks."
"We recommend that donors arrive fully hydrated so that the procedure passes quicker," Nelson said.
Anderson received $25 for his first donation. After three visits, he received a total of $50.
"I felt like such a loser, a bum, a real scrub by doing all of this just to make a few bucks." Anderson said. "I began to see the same people there regularly, and that's when I decided not to go back."
But Nelson said that she really appreciated the time and effort that the donors gave.
Nabi is a for-profit organization that merged with Immovax, a major vaccine medicine company. Nabi receives the plasma from the mergers and then sells it to other companies.
Nabi is the only plasma bank in Lawrence, but there are 66 Nabi centers nationwide.
The business is located at 816 W. 24th St., behind Laird Noller Ford. They welcome walk-ins on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 9 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.
Donors may call 749-5750 for more information.
"I know that it is for a good cause, but I think that it is pathetic that the only reason people are donating is to get money," said Jennifer Miller, Naperville, Ill., senior. "It kind of reflects our society today. Everyone wants something for themselves."

Wandering the Web
For everyone who's already read my other column in the On the Hill section this week, this is the Off the Hill version. (And for everyone who hasn't, it's still ... oh, you get the idea.) My last two trips through the World Wide Web this summer have shone the spotlight on sites devoted to the University of Kansas and the city of Lawrence.
To those of you who are already familiar with Lawrence, it's time to get reacquainted with an old friend. For incoming freshman, point your browsers to these sites, memorize their contents and avoid asking the local dumb questions about who Quantrill was and why Langston Hughes was important to Lawrence.
This is the online version of the Lawrence Journal-World, our newspaper of record. Go here to get local news and plenty of KU sports. Although the coverage of University news and events

can be a bit spotty, the sports coverage more than makes up for it. You also can find local weather and TV listings, as well as live web cams from around the city

Larryville is the name affectionately given to Lawrence by some longtime residents; this site is billed as a home on the web for those who love Lawrence, Kan. It's much more concerned with the part of the city outside the University. There are links to issues of local interest, such as elections, politics and the arts. It's beautifully designed and well worth a look.

Artwork best viewed with heavenly perspective
Kansas

By Mindie Miller
Kansan staff writer
In a cornfield east of Lawrence, the stalks are standing tall after the recent deluge of summer rain. Low murmuring voices lace their way through the leafy arms of the corn. Toward the center of the field, the voices grow louder.
A machete blade splits the air, severing a six-foot stalk, leaving five inches remaining above the muddy soil.
Whoosh!
"Could you hold the sketch up a little higher, John?" asked the man with the machete. A tan fedora and dark sunglasses shield his face from the glare of the sun.
John Pendleton raises the sketch a few inches. The drawing is a scaled-down version of the image that Stan Herd is creating in John and Karen Pendleton's cornfield.
Herd makes a few more swipes with his machete and then pitches it into the earth. Herd, a local environmental artist, is carving a turtle-shaped maze at the Pendleton's, owners of Pendleton's Country Market, 1446 E. 1850 Road. The completed turtle maze will measure about 560 feet by 400 feet — about 5 acres.
From the ground, it looks like Herd has cut down random sections of the field. But from a higher vantage point, the combination of standing corn and strategically-placed negative spaces takes the shape of a turtle. For nearly 20 years, Herd has been creating art that is best viewed from the sky.
In 1976, Herd rented an airplane and hired a pilot to fly him over Dodge City so he could view a mural he'd painted on a building.
Living art
"I was fascinated by flight the first time I flew. It just absolutely knocked me out as an artist — someone who is fascinated by visual images anyway. The mundane became the spectacular from up in the air, and it stuck in my mind that this was a beautiful canvas," Herd said.
Since that flight, Herd has created more than 20 large-scale works of art using agriculture and the earth as his canvas. He has completed most of his
His first earthwork was a portrait of the Kiowa War Chief Satanta. Herd's interest in Native Americans began when he was a young child growing up on his family's farm in Protection, a small town in southeast Kansas, near the Oklahoma border.
"I could walk out the front door of the farm house to the Bluff Creek bank and find arrow points," he said. "I realized there were a people on the land before my father and grandfather."
Herd's interest in indigenous peoples continued as he grew older. Born in 1950, Herd latched onto the tail end of the '60s radical movement as a teen — a movement characterized by protests against the destruction of the natural environment and the displacement of indigenous peoples.
"I was a rabid environmentalist before I even knew what it was. I just had a sense that we were living wrong." Herd said.
work on Kansas soil, although England, Australia, Texas, Oklahoma, New York and Nebraska have also been venues for his unique art.
So far, Herd has created four Native American portraits. He also has collaborated with faculty members at Haskell Indian Nations University, creating a medicine wheel design on the university's campus. The semi-permanent work, "The Wheel," is used by students for ceremonies and meditation. The site has become a major point of contention in the debate about the proposed South Lawrence Trafficway.
"The Wheel" is unusual because most of Herd's earthworks are no longer available for viewing. Since he creates most of his images in fertile fields, they are often plowed under at harvest time. Despite the time and effort he pours into his projects, Herd said he viewed the ephemeral nature of his art as a strength.
"I felt it was a statement of respect about the natural landscape," Herd said. "I don't think anything I've ever done or ever will do, will surpass the beauty of the land itself."
Art as a living
that he has been forced to set aside his idealism on more than one occasion. He completed the final version of "Absolut Landmark" in 1990. This earthwork, which appeared in an Absolut vodka ad, consisted of an Absolutvodka bottle against a star quilt pattern.
"The line I used to draw between what I would and wouldn't do has changed because I'm just trying to survive," Herd said.
Herd has done commissioned work for Beck's beer, Northwest Airlines and others. He also created the cover art for Garth Brooks' album "Fresh Horses."
Herd has also created massive field still life artwork using multiple crops and other natural materials, including his famous "Sunflower Still Life," which survived in a field outside of Lawrence for three years. The image was three sunflowers in a vase against a patchwork background. Herd used native Kansas sunflowers to color the still life sunflowers bright yellow.

Herd said that he is putting the finishing touches on his "Ancient Fish Maze" on a hilltop field on the outskirts of Lawrence. The design for the maze was inspired by the fossil of an 80-million-year-old fish, "Xiphactinus," which archaeologists discovered in Kansas in the 1930s. KU's Natural History Museum houses a specimen of the 30- to 40-foot fish.
Herd said that he tried to avoid involving himself in commercial projects but
Herd stays extremely busy, often working on several field projects simultaneously.
"I feel like I'm caught in the rapid part of a river, and I'd really like to get on the bank and try to relax." Herd said.
He said he was afraid he wouldn't be able to slow down for a while. In addition to working on the fish maze and the turtle maze, he is salvaging trees for a coming project and working on mural designs for a Topeka library.
He said that the turtle maze should be finished sometime this week. The Pendleton, who are hoping the maze will bring more patrons to their place of business, said they would charge admission to walk through the maze.

Soon, the corn will be bristling with voices as people navigate through the twisting maze. But the voices will disappear when harvest time rolls around and the turtle is returned to the earth.

Biggest ball of twine is big source of pride
The Associated Press
CAWKER CITY — The only claim to fame for this town is having the world's largest ball of twine. Even that can be disputed.
But Linda Clover, caretaker of the yellow sisal twine orb that's 40 feet around, says the question of bragging rights really doesn't matter.
What does matter, she said, is that the ever-growing ball is fun for folks in this north-central Kansas town of 800. It attracts scores of tourists who come to gawk and photograph the twine ball.
"Some feel it's dumb, but I say we could be known for where something bad happened. I would rather be known for a ball of twine which never hurt anybody," Clover said.
Wayne Musgrove, city clerk for 27 years, said there's no doubt that his town is known for its ball of twine.
"I go to meetings around the state, and they all know about the ball of twine," Musgrove said. "People here are so used to it they don't think much about it."
Among recent visitors to the ball were Don Stratton, his wife, Helen Young, and their two daughters, 4-year-old Sarah and 7-year-old Margaret, from Bristol, Vt.
"We were coming by and had to stop and see it because it was here," said Stratton, as his two children looked and touched the twine ball.
A sign near the twine ball shows its dimensions. The bottom reads:
"Thrift + patience = success."
"I love this sign," Helen Young said. Like other visitors to the ball, Stratton and his family were taken with the musky smell of the sisal.
Sisal is a strong fiber from the thick, fleshy leaves of the desert agave plant.
"People smell it and recall the days when they were on the farm. It makes people think of times gone by. I think that's a lot of the fascination." Clover said.
She estimated that there's about 6 million feet of twine in the ball. It's 11 feet high and weighs about 17,000 pounds, although nobody has tried to weigh it lately.
That translates to about 1,140 miles of twine. If the ball ever was unwound, it could reach eastward to near Baltimore, or stretch west to around Reno, Nev.
Other towns claim to own the biggest twine ball, but that doesn't concern Mrs. Clover or others in the town. At both ends of downtown are signs proclaiming the town as the home of the world's largest bull of twine.
"Possibly it isn't the biggest, but we don't care. People come to see it, so we must have something special," Clover said. "People like our odd thing. It's a great fascination."
Other claimants include Darwin, Minn., with a ball of twine, also 40 feet around, made between 1950-79 by Francis Johnson. It's in an enclosed area and is called the biggest twine ball made by one person.
Also, Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum in Branson, Mo., has a ball 41.5 feet around. It was wrapped between 1987-91 by J.C. Payne of Valleyview, Texas, who used nylon twine.
Clover said the unique aspect of the Cawker City ball is that it's a work in progress that gets bigger and heavier each year, and it's made only from sisal string.
"Some feel it's dumb,but I say we could be known for where something bad happened. I would rather be known for a ball of twine which never hurt anybody."

More string is added each year, especially at the annual Twine-o-Thon in August, so eventually it will outgrow the other contenders. She said some 33,000 feet of twine was added during last year's Twine-o-Thon.
Since the ball's inception, the town has built three shelters and the twine ball has outgrown each one. Clover or her husband, Jack, are at the site almost every day to tidy up the area and answer questions.
They also keep a supply of lengths of the sisal twine for visitors to add.
Clover is concerned that the day will come when the ball reaches the limit of twine it can take. She hopes it won't happen anytime soon.
"We let people be part of it, by letting them add twine," she said. "It's just fun. It's nothing serious."
"We want to keep it going as long we can," she said.
The ball got rolling by Frank Stroeber on his farm in 1953. In those days, hay bales were bound with sisal twine, and Stroeber started making a ball with the twine after it was removed from the bales.
ing their twine to him. By 1957, he had ball with 1.2 million feet of twine that weighed 5,000 pounds and stood eight feet high.
Pretty soon, neighbors started bring-
As part of the state's centennial celebration in 1961, Stroebel brought the big ball from his farm and gave it to the town. The unanswered question is why Stroebel, who died in 1974, started his project.
"The way I see it, the twine came off the hay bales, and he had to do something with it," Clover said. "You either saved it or burned it, and he started saving it."
For the most part, farmers now use plastic twine for their hay bales, forcing the town to buy sisal twine from the local co-op with donations it receives.
Things have changed over the years.
"Rather than farmers bringing in their twine, people are sending in donations," she said.
"Over time, it droops, just like the body," she said with a laugh.
Three decade-long search brings daughter to mother
The Associated Press
COFFEYVILLE — She never gave up.
After all that time,
Thompson, who gave birth to
her daughter during the 1960s
at age 14 and lost her two years
later, was reunited with her
child this month.
In the 32 years since she and her daughter were separated, Susan Thompson never gave up hope she'd see her little girl again. Call it tenacity. Call it stubbornness. Call it what you will, but most of all, call it love.
"I was real apprehensive at first," Thompson said about meeting her daughter. "I wasn't sure she was going to like me. But, I guess it's because I'm her mom, and she's my daughter. It fits like a glove," Thompson said.
Thompson spent years in search of her daughter, with no results.
Thompson named her Betty Jo. She said the state took away her baby because of a bad home environment that included her sister, who had run away from home several times and was pregnant.
While records on the case
exist in Ohio, a juvenile court judge said the documents were sealed and could not be made available to the public.
"Any response I'd give would be pure speculation on my part. I don't know," Judge Yvette McGee Brown said from Franklin County, Ohio.
Brown pointed out that Ohio still has a law on the books that girls under the age of 18 cannot get married.
"I lost track of her. I was so young at the time.I realized in my late 20s, though, there was something I could do."
"I'm sure an unmarried 16- year old mother in the '60s would cause an uproar." Brown said.
Susan Thompson
The judge said the juvenile court system today has a specific set of criteria for removing a child from the home. He said that today, court would have to have a finding of abuse, neglect, or dependency.
Recalling her time as a young mother, Thompson said she was working hard, despite her circumstances.
She continued to live at home
"I thought I was doing the right thing," she said. "I was working. I'd gone back to school. I was working as a, what they'd call a nurses aide now, but they called it a candy stirner back then."
Coffeyville resident
with her parents. Her father, a minister, died two months after she lost Betsv Jo.
"I lost track of her. I was so young at the time. I realized in my late 20s, though, there was something I could do," Thompson said.
A lawyer told her that the only thing he could confirm was that her daughter had been adopted. He indicated that delving into Ohio's adoption records were difficult.
She later married and had three more children, but never gave up on finding Betsy Jo.
But Thompson encountered more tragedy. In 1989, her husband died of cancer. She later had a grandson. He also died.
She remarried and moved to Coffeyville about 9 years ago. Her second husband also died of cancer.
"I had to put off searching for
my daughter for a while, but in February, Betsy turned 34. I was watching "Hugs and Searches," and I said, 'I'm going to call,' Thompson said.
Thompson eventually found a search agency called Ohio Adoptee Searches. Within two weeks, John Dehaven, who worked at the agency, found the names of the couple that adopted Betsy Jo.
"Basically, we had to scan public birth records to establish a new name for Betsy, then order her birth certificate." Dehaven said. "In Ohio (public records) are available to anyone. (The birth certificate) listed her adoptive parents' names and where they lived at the time of the child's adoption."
Dehaven said that people whose adoptions were finalized from Jan. 1, 1964, through Sept. 17, 1968 had only one recourse.
"You must file a petition with the probate court where your adoption was granted. They will forward this request to the State Bureau of Vital Statistics, who will open and send you the contents of your adoption envelope only if a birth parent has also filed a release," Dehaven said.
Complicating Dehaven's search for Thompson's daughter was the fact that Betsy's adoptive parents had divorced and relocated.
Eventually, Dehaven, scanning databases, reached Betsy Jo's adoptive dad, who said that she had moved to New Orleans. Her adoptive parents named her Carolyn Elizabeth.
Thompson also got the phone number for the adoptive mother and called her.
"She was real sweet. She told me, (Betsy Jo) has talked about finding you," Thompson said.
Thompson said that the adoptive mother asked her what made her think that this was her daughter.
"She asked about her name. I said, 'It's Betty Jo.' She said, 'My god, this is your daughter.' She remembered the name I
gave her." Thompson said.
The adoptive mother then gave her Betsy Jo's phone number.
"When I called, I told her I had named her Betsy Jo, and she said, 'You are my mom!' " she said.
Thompson said she told her daughter that she didn't give her up.
"She said her adopted mom had told her that, but she thought after all the years had passed, I may have changed my mind," Thompson said. "She said she tried to find me through talk shows like Ricki Lake. I told her, I was only 16, but, 'I didn't give you up' " she said.
Thompson said she and her daughter talked on the phone every day and finally decided it was time to meet. Betsy flew in from New Orleans, arriving July 10.
Betsy's visit has been a very good one. So good, in fact, she's decided to stay, Thompson said.
"Betsy Jo is going to stay. She told me, 'I don't want to leave you.' I told her, if you try to leave, I'm going to cut your legs off," Thompson said, laughing.

Dancer leaves old role to answer priesthood calling
The Associated Press
OVERLAND PARK — On a hot summer day in 1997, Kent O'Connor, a young actor and dancer then appearing in "Gypsy" at the New Theatre Restaurant in Overland Park, had a strange experience with a familiar song.
At the time, he was driving on I-435 listening to a tape of mixed music made for him by one of his brothers.
Among the songs was one by REO Speedwagon that included the repeated line, "I can't fight this feeling anymore."
"That line' caught me so off guard I almost had to stop the car." O'Connor said.
At the moment the song began, O'Connor was pondering the resolution of a quandary that began during his childhood.
It began with a feeling he could no longer fight.
This summer O'Connor is appearing at the New Theatre, playing a featured role in "Hello Dolly."
But he is playing another role as well, and his photograph appears not only in the theater program.
It is displayed as well, on the bulletin board at Holy Cross Church in Overland
Park. The wording beneath his picture at the church identifies him as a seminarian and future Catholic priest.
Now living in the church rectory for the summer, O'Connor devotes the time he has between stage performances to working with the church's summer youth program.
On Tuesday morning, for example, he helped lead a group of elementary school children as they prepared for an upcoming musical show.
He sang along as they rehearsed, and despite the fact that his singing was subdued, his strong tenor voice reached from the altar to the rear pew.
His is a trained voice, for although he is only 24, he has been working in the theater for 17 years.
He was seven and growing up in Topeka, when his mother asked if he would like to be in the Nutcratcher Suite. "And I said, 'Sure,' without even thinking about it," O'Connor said.
He began dance training that year and soon was involved with community theater, sometimes with as many as three productions at a time.
He threw himself into performing with such vigor and elan that his mother, Marilyn
"I remember looking into a flickering candle in the sanctuary and thinking, yes, I'll be a priest."
Kent O'Connor actor and seminarian
O'Connor, sometimes feared that he would hurt him himself off the edge of the stage.
But at the same time his theatrical fervor began to blossom, another seed was planted, one that grew more slowly but whose roots, perhaps, went deeper.
"When I was seven or eight, I was sitting in church as the priest was talking about religious vocations," O'Connor said.
"I remember looking into a flickering candle in the sanctuary and thinking, yes, I'll be a priest.
"I didn't mention it to anybody, because I didn't really know what it was all about. But I sensed it was a lasting commitment."
While O'Connor was in high school he
began to believe that what he was experiencing was a "calling," an almost inexplicable summons to the priesthood.
“It's not that I literally heard God call my name,” he said recently. “It was more of a constant nagging in the back of my head, an endless questioning: Am I on the right path? Is my life going to be complete?”
His mother, sensing something, joked that if he chose dance as a career he could always become a priest when his legs gave out. But though he laughed, he still wouldn't talk about that idea with anybody.
"For one thing, I wanted a social life," he said. "And what girl would date a guy who says he's going to be a priest?"
Beyond that, the theatrical world still beckoned. And so instead of entering a seminary, O'Connor went to the University of Kansas, where he studied dance and theater.
During spring break in 1997, his senior year in college, O'Connor traveled to New York City to try his luck in the cattle-call world of theatrical auditions.
"I went with this funny notion that the theater actually needed me," he said.
His reception was positive, his talent recognized. After five auditions he made the final cut for one show, was called back for
another, and received a job offer from a ballet company.
But despite that success, he reached an unexpected conclusion.
Suddenly frustrated with what he called the "self-centeredness" of the dance world, feeling like a trained dog performing tricks, he began to think he was wasting his other talents.
"I'm not doing anyone a big favor by being here," he thought. "The theater will do just fine without me."
And so he attended a religious retreat in Atchison and then visited Mundelein. Seminary near Chicago. He soon discovered that simply applying to Mundelein, a seminary devoted to training diocesan priests, is a rigorous process.
"Every candidate first has to be approved by his own diocese," said Thomas Tank, a Catholic priest and vicar-general of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas.
All candidates go through extensive psychological evaluation and are then screened by both dicosan and seminary acceptance committees.
Famous names are bait to Internet domains
After running that churchy gauntlet, O'Connor was finally accepted and has now completed his first sequence of semiinary course work.
K.C. man adds new twist to celebrity cybersquatting: no porn, just good causes
The Associated Press
SHAWNEE — When Rob Moritz started buying the online identities of Hollywood stars two years ago, he easily could have passed for a cybersquatter — the tag assigned to some of the worst hucksters of the Internet revolution.
Steadily, Moritz built a stable of big names with.com at the end — Billy Crystal, Faye Dunaway, Nick Nolte. to name a few.
Moritz began buying names out of his home in suburban Kansas City after he first used the Internet several years ago. He saw the potential to reach mass audiences, but much of what Moritz saw was the misuse of celebrity names — and much of that was pornographic.
It's called cybersquatting or, say critics,
"virtual hostage-taking." Individuals buy
up celebrity domains and lure traffic to
their own content.
Moritz and his Friend to Friend Foundation staked a claim to a potentially lucrative piece of online real estate, the domain name, the main part of an Internet address identifying a Web page's subject.
Moritz, however, tries to take the information highway's high road by giving away domains to the stars they identify. His mission: protect cultural icons from Internet exploitation.
As of late June, Friend to Friend had registered at least 300 celebrity names, of which about 40 had accepted the gesture. Moritz pays $70 for each name to Network Solutions Inc., an Internet domain name clearinghouse.
"Do unto others what you would like to have done unto you," says Moritz, 47, a former youth minister who travels abroad speaking to religious groups and portraying the biblical apostle Paul in stage productions. He also has aided humanitarian efforts in poor nations such as Haiti and Honduras.
Other squatters simply register the domain name and put it up for bid. Monica Lewinsky's domain name recently went on the block with a minimum starting price of $50,000.
"That's pretty serious exploitation," Moritz says. "It doesn't seem right."
There is, however, some potential benefit for Moritz.
Online users who punch in the name of a star who hasn't picked up their domain from Moritz — marytylermoore.com, for instance — be steered to his friendtofriend.com site, which mostly features links to electronic commerce sites.
In instance, friendtofriend.com links to a sporting goods retail site, fogdog.com. Moritz has what's called an affiliate relationship with fogdog.com, meaning that whenever someone reaches fogdog.com from friendtofriend.com and buys something, Moritz receives a percentage of the total sale, often ranging from between 10 percent and 15 percent.
"It's a powerful way of generating revenue for the e-commerce site," said Duffy Jennings, a fogdog.com spokesman.
Moritz's list includes names such as Seinfeld actor Jason Alexander, NBC's Jane Pauley and actress Mia Farrow. Others include Jane Fonda and Paul Reiser. The celebrities learn of Moritz either through word of mouth, or Moritz's efforts to contact their agents.
Once the celebrity agrees to the transfer, Moritz mails the domain paperwork to the person, who must then pay $70 to reregister the site under their own name with a domain name clearinghouse.
Sometimes, the stars will return the gesture, in money or memorabilia.
So far, about 40 celebrities have accepted their domains from Moritz, with some sending donations along with letters of thanks. The estate of the late Eva Gabor sent wigs to the American Cancer Society to help women undergoing chemotherapy.

Meade artist views spiritual sculptures on a 'higher plain'
Made of metal, glass, wood, his motorized art is meant to inspire people
The Associated Press
MEADE — Marc Berghaus' wife, Jeanne, came home one day to find that he had cut a hole in the floor.
That's how Berghaus
Descending through that hole into the basement where the Meade artist works is a little like falling through the looking glass into another world of what he calls spiritual machines.
That's now bergman thinks of his artwork, mostly composed of metal, glass and wood, and some of it with motorized, moving parts. He wants the pieces to make people examine questions of life.
He moved back to his hometown four years ago to work for his father's business. The
job gives him ample amounts of time to devote to his sculptures.
"The ideas for the finished pieces just pop into my head at random. I'll be driving around or walking, and an idea will just pop into my head."
"People never expect them to be this slow," he said. "But that's kind of the point — you have to stop and actually watch this. It takes him like 10 minutes to go all the way around."
"The Pilgrim" has a 5-foot long wooden base, below a glass case. Inside the glass, a small cast-bronze man circles a brass track. At one end of the track is an open Bible. At the other end are three symbols of the natural world: a rock, a sea shell and a pine cone.
The little man inside the glass case moves at a snail's pace, as do most of Berghaus' other mechanized creations.
Berghaus uses this time to make people stop and think.
"That's one of the goals — to make you more meditative. People are so used to video games and movies, things come at you real fast."
"Everything I do, I sort of have a meaning, but it's not a strict one," he said. "I like it that other people find additional meanings. Unless they're completely wrong."
Berghaus thinks of his creations as an out growth of his constant spiritual and philosophical questioning.
Most people think "The Pilgrim" symbolizes God vs. Nature.
One non-moving sculpture features six cast-bronze farm women lined up with hoes on a brushed aluminum base. The women are poised at the end of straight metal furrows.
"It's either called 'Work' or 'Garden', I can never decide," he said. "It's kind of a neat little spiritual thing to me, but some people just don't get that.
The tension between order and chaos fascinates Berghaue, and he relates his structured sculptures to the methodical approach he takes in examining spiritual and scientific questions.
That's the people with making some of them move, though; people are disappointed when some of them don't."
"You know, because (the man) is going back and forth (between the Bible and the natural symbols)," Berghaus said. "But it really has more to do with religions that are based on text. For instance, the major Western religions vs. religions that aren't like Zen Buddhism, Philosophical Taoism and maybe the Native American religions, ones that are more nature-oriented that don't rely on books."
A voracious reader, Berghaus became interested in Eastern philosophy while attending the University of Kansas. He took one year of art, but ended up with a degree in East Asian history.
"I like reducing really complex phenomena, whether natural or social or religious, to simple mechanic. It is impossible to do, but I like to try." he said.
Not all of his pieces are overtly spiritual in content, and not all of them involve motion.
. "Really only about half of them move," Berghaus said. "It just depends on the design.

The source of inspiration for his artwork is anything but methodical, however.
"The ideas for the finished pieces just pop into my head at random," he said "I'll be driving around or walk
ing, and an idea he just joke into my head.
Ideas first came to him in 1992, a year after he graduated from college. He knew he was onto something unique.
"I was painting, but I wasn't getting the results I wanted with painting." he said.
He quit painting when the sculpture ideas came and he hasn't painted since.

"I have to figure out how to make the gears work - how fast the machine should run" he
"I used to make my own little toys out of cardboard. They didn't move, at least not on purpose. But I made little scenes out of plastic models, so I'm kind of doing the same thing I did when I was a kid." he said.
"If I have to build a crankshaft, I've done that now; I know how, so I can do it faster," he said.
Now, he completes a

piece every month or so, instead of only two a year.
Marc Berghans Artist
Since he began recycling aluminum irrigation pipes with his father, he has had much more time to think about his work.
"I drive all day and I get lots of ideas when I'm driving. There's nothing but horizon ahead of me I just sort of drift off and these things pop into my head."

Dust Bowl leaves lasting legacy in Kansas
The Associated Press
FORT DODGE, Kan. — Battered by months of unrelenting wind and sweltering heat, Harley "Doc" Holladay woke up to a gloriously clear Sunday that April 14, 1935.
His parents figured the calm day with blue skies was perfect for hanging out laundry and for taking out those upholstered chairs to pound out the dust.
And there was even time for the 13-year-old Kansas farm boy to head out to a muddy pond just 300 yards from the house to skip a few rocks across its receding waters.
He saw it coming first: an immense black wall of dust rolling toward the farmhouse.
"I took off running for the house," he said. "We got everything inside as quick as we can."
His family made it inside safely before they were engulfed by the blackness. Young Harley, still clutching an armful of clothes, fell to his knees just outside the porch. He crawled into the house in the total darkness.
It lasted nearly 20 minutes. Gradually, an orange cast shone
through the windows as the storm abated.
"This was the worst one," he said.
The day would go down in the history books as Black Sunday, the most terrible "black blizzard" of the Dust Bowl era.
The drought began in 1933 and continued year after year until 1940. A 400-mile-long, 300-mile-wide region — covering 100 million acres of western Kansas, eastern Colorado, and the panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas
was battered by ceaseless winds which carried away clouds of farmland.
Many farmers were forced to abandon their land, their plight immortalized in John Steinbeck's 1939 novel "Grapes of Wrath." Some 100,000 people each year headed west, never to return.
Among those choosing to wait it out was the Holladay family. At the time, Harley and his parents were living on his grandparent's farm 16 miles northeast of Dodge City. The families were farming 1,700 acres and raised registered Herefords, pigs, chickens, mules and horses.
"They had to much invested in the area" to leave. Holiday said.
the area to leave, Holladay said. Back then, farmers believed pulverized ground made the best seed bed for their crops. Holladay, now 76, recalled how he and his brother used to stand at each end of a field so their father could see them through dusty haze in order to drill the wheat in straight rows, all in the hopes it would rain.
But the fine soil made fields more vulnerable to erosion, with dirt blowing so bad it collected like huge snowdrifts along fence rows. Today, you can still see the ridges it formed along the fence rows.
School children had to light kerosene lanterns in the middle of the day to read because the dust made it so dark. Wives kneaded their bread dough inside partially closed drawers to keep it as clean as possible. Dishes were turned upside down as the table was set.
If a dish was left uncovered for just 30 minutes, it collected so much dust you could write your name on it with your finger, Holladay said.
He can still remember the awe
of watching a ring of electricity formed around the windmill blades created as the wind-driven dust particles struck the metal blades. The humidity was so low, that you could see sparks of static electricity flying from wire to wire along barbed wire fences as the dusty wind blew.
Wet handkerchiefs tied around the face served as dust masks. During dust storms, windows and doors were chalked shut with wet paper.
And it was so unmercifully hot that Holladay's family would hang wun ganny sacks across open windows to dampen the blasts of hot air. Holladay would dip his shirts in water before putting them on to help keep cool.
Today's low till and no-till farming practices came out of the Dust Bowl era as farmers sought ways to control erosion.
"I think the thing that is important to remember is not farm the way they did back in those days," Holladay said. "If they don't farm properly, there could be another Dust Bowl."
State climatologist Mary Knapp said another Dust Bowl is unlike
ly because three major components need to be present: bare soil, dry conditions and wind.
Farmland cropping techniques today don't leave as much ground bare, she said.
"It could happen again, but it hasn't happened since then," she said.
One of the things that people tend to forget about the Dust Bowl era is that it was also extremely hot, she said.
Average high temperatures in much of Kansas were more than 100 degrees, and thermometers even hit 121 degrees in 1936. In Manhattan, for example, temperatures were above 100 degrees for 30 out of 31 days in July 1936.
But not everyone agrees another Dust Bowl is that unlikely.
A study released last December by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration showed droughts as bad as the 1930s occur once or twice a century, and there were longer and more severe droughts in the 13th and 16th centuries.
Scientists reviewed historical documents and data on tree rings, archeological remains and lake sediments.
Infamous crimes dark side of Sunflower State
The Associated Press
PITTSBURG —On a warm, peaceful spring afternoon, Max McCoy sits in a near-empty cafe in a quiet college town and begins to spin stories of murder and madness.
They're stories that have been told across the country - in some cases, around the world.
They go something like this:
Robbers enter a rural home — and slaughter the four people who live there, all for less than $50 and a radio.
A mysterious killer leaves messages for police — and then vanishes.
A love affair between a pastor and a member of his congregation leads to the murder of their spouses.
They all have something in common: They took place in Kansas, whose criminal history is often overshadowed — thankfully, some say — by its vibrant agriculture and political heroes.
McCoy, a former journalist and author, says there are two unofficial Kansas history books. One plays up the state's wholesome image, with notables like former president Dwight D. Eisenhower and longtime Sen. Bob Dole.
"You look at Kansas history, you get people who do great things. But you also get people who get messages from God, people who do despicable things — people with unfathomable motives," he said.
The other depicts what he calls the "raw, rough and true" version. In fact, that's the title of his upcoming book: "Kansas: Raw, Rough and True: A Gallery of Notorious Kansans."
"I think there's a tendency among some historians to overlook that part of it," McCoy said. "There are the toners-down, and the ones who want to present how it really was. 'We're not all waving wheat fields.'"
The latest installment in the state's ongoing crime story didn't begin here, but Kansas has quickly found itself in the thick of the fight.
The villain is methamphetamine, an illegal stimulant that moved in from the West Coast and quickly found a home.
It's cheap, made from easily obtainable ingredients and can be quickly — if dangerously — cooked up in small mobile labs that go from vehicles to motel rooms to open fields.
A major difference between meth and the introduction of previous illicit drugs is how deeply it affects those who aren't part of the criminal culture.
Farmers, for example, often have their anhydrous ammonia—a common fertilizer and key ingredient in the drug—raided by meth-makers.
And pharmacists, by state law, will soon be required to limit the amount of over-the-counter cold medications that can be sold to one customer at one time.
"You look back at history, and Kansas has been a real leader in a lot of things," said Manhattan historian Cheryl Collins. "The Populist movement of the late 1800s had a lot to do with Kansas, the temperance movement, the civil rights movement." Crime is no exception.
But if history is any indication, Kansas's stringent anti-meth measures may be a portent of what's ahead in the nation's battle against the drug.
When Stephanie Schmidt was murdered by a repeat sex offender in 1993, it set in motion a chain of events that led all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court — and beyond, to statehouses around the nation.
Her parents pushed for a law that would allow the state to keep persons convicted of sex crimes locked up beyond their sentence time if psychiatric professionals conclude the offender is likely to strike again. Other states, including Missouri, Arizona, California, Minnesota, Washington and Wisconsin, followed with similar laws.
The earliest high-profile crimes in Kansas were war crimes — Civil War crimes.
William Quanttrill's raid on Lawrence was the most famous incident of that time but McCoy would rather talk about a contemporary of Quanttrill's. Confederate guerrilla "Bloody Bill" Anderson, from Council Grove.
"He would ride into battle alternately crying and quoting Bible verses," McCoy said. "He kept scalks on the bridle of his horse."
A series of murders committed by the Bender family of Labette County, in southeast Kansas, drew national attention in the late spring of 1873.
But on Oct. 5, 1892, the gang's ambitions plan to rob two Coffeyville banks at once went awry. Five gang members rode into the southeast Kansas town; four died in the ensuing gun battle.
And in the last decade of the century, the Dalton Gang — which maintained a hideout at Meade, in southwest Kansas — made a name for itself with a series of robberies.
Dodge City plays up its Wild West heritage — Wyatt Earp and Bastmaster enforced the law there — with a "Boot Hill" museum, complete with a hanging tree.
The best-known Kansas killers of the century are most likely Richard Hickock and Perry Smith, hanged for the 1959 murders of four members of a Holcomb family — and immortalized in Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood."
Other writers in the true-crime genre have mined Kansas for material.
More recently, the story of the Rev. Thomas Bird of Emporia and his lover, Lorna Anderson — and the murders of their respective spouses — was made into a television miniseries.
Translators help find health options for minorities
The Associated Press
WICHITA — Sofia de la Pena speaks only Spanish. Her physician, Lewis Meline, speaks only English.
Yet, during a recent health checkup, Meline was able to tell her the news she wanted to hear — that everything was going well with her pregnancy.
Officials with the Wichita-Senegun County Department of Community Health say interpreters hired to translate during health exams and a bilingual advertising campaign have dramatically increased the number of Spanish- and Vietnamese-speaking clients using the department's services.
During the first six months of 1997, the health department served 470 Spanish-speaking clients, according to department records. During the same period in 1999, the department saw 1,696 Spanish-speaking clients.
The numbers were equally impressive for Vietnamese-American clients, with 152 served during the first six months of 1997, and 735 served during the first six months of this year.
Program director Margarita Hunt hopes to keep them busy for years to come, but she also has to search for ways to keep the program going. The grant that funded the department's three-year Bilingual/Bicultural Program expired at the end of June.
1990, it was a first in Kansas. Hunt said.
Since then, the department has aired commercials in English, Spanish and Vietnamese. It has trained health department employees in basic Spanish and cultural sensitivity, had pamphlets translated, and posted three billboards in, Spanish and Vietnamese to promote health department services.
When the program was launched in 1996, it was a first in Kansas. Hunt said
Officials say cultural differences make it difficult to persuade Hispanic and Vietnamese-Americans to seek health care when they come to the United States. Sometimes they don't know how much care is available.
An increasing population of minority groups in the Wichita area has department officials planning for the future, Hunt said. According to Census Bureau estimates, 10 percent of Sedgwick County residents will be Hispanic-American by 2025, and 4 percent will be Asian-American.
To help meet demands, the health department joined the Multicultural Mobilization Coalition, a new group of 30 Wichita-area health care and social service agencies pooling their resources to help increase health services for minorities.

Kansas' most influential make the list
K
Former Senator Bob Dole addresses a crowd at the University of Kansas. Dole donated his papers from his time in the U.S. Senate to the University. Contributed photo
The Associated Press
WICHITA — Ike is on the list, of course. So are Bob Dole and Amelia Earlart.
But some of those selected as influential Kansans, based on a poll by The Wichita Eagle of historians and others familiar with state history, aren't that well-known to the general public. Does the name Samuel Crumbine ring a bell? How about Mary Elizabeth Lease, or Charles Sheldon?
Those polled by the newspaper defined an influential person as someone who had an impact not only on the lives of people in their own era, but on Kansans even today.
all three join Dwight Eisenhower, the World War II general who later became president; Dole, the former senator and presidential candidate; and Earlart, the pioneer pilot who disappeared in 1937, on The Eagle's list of the 10 most influential Kansans.
Here, in alphabetical order, is The Eagle's list:
"Some people's impact may have actually appreciated after they were gone," said Dodge City's Dave Webb, author of "399 Kansas Characters."
—John Brown, Osawatomie.
During the mid-1850s —Kansas' territorial period —Brown led violent anti-slavery raids into Missouri
lent anti-slavery raids into Missouri. He came to Kansas from New York at age 54. He vowed that God was on his side and, in 1859, developed a plan that took him to Harper's Ferry, Va., where he planned to free Southern slaves.
He tried to take control of the government arsenal. Ten people in his group were killed in the attack, and Brown was caught and later hanged
Virgil Dean of the Kansas State Historical Society said that while Brown didn't live in Kansas much of his life, "he really has become a symbol of what Kansas was all about during the territorial period and how it was seen by the rest of the nation."
—Samuel Crumbine, Spearville and Dodge City.
The state's first public health officer, he is credited with eliminating the community drinking cup at the turn of the century.
He started a "Swat the fly" campaign and encouraged people to put screens on windows. To combat tuberculosis, he encouraged brick companies to print "Don't spit on the sidewalk" on bricks.
"There are so many things we take for granted now — in terms of cleanliness — that date back to Dr. Crumbine," said Webb. "He was a pioneer in the areas of health."
—Bob Dole. Russell.
After being seriously injured in World War II, Dole became a lawyer and county prosecutor. He then began a political career that took him first to the U.S. House and on to the Senate. He was the Republican nominee for vice president in 1976 and for president 20 years later.
"This is a man who has been involved in Kansas politics for more than 50 years and represented the state in both the House and Senate for 35 years," said Dean. "He has had an enormous impact in terms of national prominence."
—Amelia Earhart. Atchison.
The world's most famous woman aviator. She was the first woman to fly solo across North America and the Atlantic, and was the second person ever to cross the Atlantic. In 1937 she mysteriously disappeared while trying to fly around the world.
—Dwight D. Eisenhower, Abilene. The Supreme Allied Commander in Europe during World War II, he later became the nation's 34th president.
Eisenhower epitomized the life of the 1950s. During his eight years in office, he signed a law creating the St. Lawrence Seaway, helped establish the Department of Health, Education and Welfare and supported the creation of the Interstate highway system.
"His stature as president is grow
ing all the time," said Robert Linder, history professor at Kansas State University.
Alf Landon, Independence and Topeka.
A Kansas oilman, he was elected governor of Kansas in 1932 and was the GOP presidential nominee in 1936, losing to Franklin D. Roosevelt. His daughter is Nancy Kassebaum-Baker, the former U.S. senator from Kansas.
He became beloved by many Kansans as governor during the Great Depression when he cut taxes and reorganized state government. He started a water conservation program and helped farmers who were in danger of losing their land.
—Mary Elizabeth Lease, Kingman and Wichita.
She rose to national fame in the 1890s as a spokeswoman for the Populist Party — a grassroots political organization that rose out of the Midwest to become the voice of the common man, particularly farmers.
Although she was sharply criticized by the newspapers of the day, she persisted in raising awareness for farmers, telling them they should "raise more hell and less corn."
—Carry A. Nation, Medicine Lodge.
She was a Kansas prohibitionist who became internationally known for her ability to bust up saloons and speak out against liquor. Her trademark was a hatchet. She was arrested 30 times, and paid her fines from money earned on speaking tours.
—Charles Sheldon, Topeka.
Like Lease, she was often criticized and called anything from "zealot" to "crazy."
- Charles Sheldon, ropeka
A minister, he wrote "In His Steps"
in 1896. It is still one of the best-selling
books of all time, outranked only by
the Bible and "The Joy of Cooking."
In his book, Sheldon posed the question,
"What would Jesus do?"
Sheldon became one of the leading social reformers in the nation, turning a bar into one of the state's first kindergartens and preaching equal rights for minorities, women and the working class.
—William Allen White, Emporia. The "man from Emporia" whose editorsial in his Emporia Gazette often defined a Kansan to the nation. One of his best-known editorsials was "What's the Matter with Kansas?"
"He had the ability to articulate issues and sell them," said Craig Miner, a Wichita State University history professor.
Branson theater is Polish Prince's new home
The Associated Press
BRANSON, Mo. — All he really wanted was something to do on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, recalled Bobby Vinton, leaning back in a plush, soft-backed patio chair on the balcony of his Ozark mountain home, taking in one of the most spectacular lakeside views in the world.
"I was going somewhere and we had like a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday off because, basically, weekends are the big time," explained the jovial Vinton, who appeared peripatetic even when he's sitting down.
tainment.'
"Usually you just sit around with all your people who are getting paid, doing nothing on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday," music's early-'60s teen idol continued in a voice that still bore traces of his Polish-school unbringing in suburban Pittsburgh.
"So I told my agent, 'Gee, can't you ever pick up a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday?"
"He said, 'Well, I've got you booked in Branson on a Monday and a Tuesday,' Vinton recalled. "He said, 'That's a little place that has enter-
"I said, 'Well, I think it's country, though, isn't it?' I said. "That's in the mountains of Missouri." I said, "There ain't no Polish people there."
And this was no longer the 1960s, those teen-idol days when Vinton was recording one hit rock ballad after another, songs like "Blue Velvet," "Red Roses for a Blue Lady," and "Mr. Lonely." The time when he was selling 75 million records, more than anybody in the business.
This was the early '90s, and Vinton had long since morphed into the "Polish Prince" on the strength of both a hit song and a fan who happened to be the mayor of Chicago.
First came the song, "My Melody of Love." Written and recorded by Vinton at the suggestion of his mother, the rollicking Polka-like tune, with its mixture of English and Polish lyrics, created an improbable sensation on the pop music scene when it raced up the charts in 1974.
And among its fans was the late Mayor Richard J. Daley who created a scene of his own in Chicago when he arrived late for dinner with the king of Sweden because he was hanging out at a Vinton concert, singing
with the band. He told inquiring reporters the next day he'd been with the Polish Prince.
The name stuck, and it and the song gave Vinton a new image, one as big in Polish-American homes at the time as Polka King Frankie Yankovic's.
But the singer wondered if that was the kind of image that would play in Branson — then seen as the new nome of country music.
Fearing it wouldn't, he tried to cancel. But his agent nixed the idea, saying the show was already sold out.
"I said, 'How could I be sold out?' it's at a 2 o'clock on a Monday afternoon. There's not a place in America that I know that I could, or anybody could at 2 o'clock in the afternoon on a Monday and sell out."
So he showed up, thinking perhaps he should put on a cowboy hat, boots and a vest and sing what few country songs he knew.
And then, looking around at a town packed with tour buses from all the towns he'd been playing for the last 25 years, the idea struck him:
Instead, he decided to take a chance and just give them Bobby Vinton. Turned out, they loved that.
town." he recalled excitedly.
"I said I think I can make it in this
"I called my wife and I said, 'Come down to Branson, I'm going to build a theater here.'"
The result was the Blue Velvet Theatre, a stunningly beautiful edifice in the heart of Branson's entertainment strip with murals on the ceiling and sparkling blue tiles throughout the lobby. It opened in 1992.
After years of traveling from one gig to the next and singing in front of pickup groups, Vinton hired the Glenn Miller Orchestra as his house band when he moved into the Blue Velvet Theatre.
And, as the album nears completion, the younger Vinton fret about the confusion the two names may cause. When he's gone on the road in the past he's had some people arrive at shows expecting to see the Polish Prince.
His son Robbie manages the group when he's not working on an album of his own.
"So I says, 'Why don't you change it to your middle name, Stanley,'"
Vinton says shaking his head and laughing. "And we're back at where we started!"

Students are challenged to raise graduation rate
By Clay McCuistion writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Korb Maxwell, student body president, challenged incoming students to help raise the University of Kansas' graduation rate 28 percent during the next four years at last night's 134th convocation.
Maxwell called on the estimated 1,500 students in attendance to increase the number of students who graduated from 47 to 75 percent.
"I see this as a travesty," he said. "I want to change this. All the people on this stage want to change this."
Maxwell was one of four speakers who welcomed students to a new academic year last night at the Lied Center.
"We are here tonight to talk about fresh starts and new beginnings," Maxwell said. "It will take all of us working together, but I am positive if we commit ourselves through a pact, a pledge and a promise we can raise our current rates of graduation and reach our goal."
Chancellor Robert Mhenway peppered his convocation address with jokes and humorous asides.
The chancellor still made time in his speech for a number of serious points. He gave the students four hints for success at the University.
"My role is to point out to you all the lessons learned in 134 years of KU history," Hemenway said. "Which is why my speech may be a little long."
Hemenway first advised to students to sit in the front of their classes.
Second, he urged the audience
to discover the "hidden curriculum" — life and human contact outside the classroom environment.
"You know that you'll encounter the official curriculum." Hemenway said. "But also encounter this hidden, unofficial curriculum. Be aware of its possibilities."
Hemenway's third suggestion was that students should follow their instincts.
"Sometimes you won't know what you believe in." he said.
"My advice is to trust yourself as this experience takes place."
Finally, the chancellor told students to invest in the community.
"You're the only reason the University is here," he said.
The evening's program also featured a 10-minute opening video about diversity and opportunity and remarks by Provost David Shulenburger and Faculty Executive Committee Chairman James Carolliers. The event began at 8 p.m. and lasted an hour and 15 minutes.
"It gives the new, incoming students a view into the traditions and institutions that the University has. It's a little more than we've been exposed to before," said Dunavan, who was encouraged to attend by his brother Marcus, Topeka junior.
Matt Dunavan, Topeka freshman, said he enjoyed the convocation.
"It it got a lot of the students to be motivated." Dunavan said.

KU meets goal of 101 National Merit scholars

Kansan staff writer
Chancellor Robert Hemenway's goal of having 100 freshman National Merit scholarships enrolled at the University of Kansas by the year 2000 became a reality a year early.
The freshman class includes 101 National Merit Scholars who chose the University.
The Chancellor said this enrollment would help the University increase its rank as one of the top 10 public universities in the nation for recruiting National Merit scholars.
"We did a good job of bringing in prospects and telling them what we can offer to them," he said. "The results speak for themselves."
The majority of the new recruits are from Kansas, said Alan Cerveny, director of the Office of Admissions.
Cerveny said the large pool of recruits would be beneficial to the University.
"We will receive a lot of national exposure, and our rankings will also go up," he said. "The fact that a sizable number chose the University of Kansas represents the kind of institution and faculty we have here."
Last year, there were 64 National Merit scholars in the freshman class. In 1997, there were 90.
Cerveny said the chancellor's goal to recruit 100 National Merit scholars by 2000 was a challenge for his office.
"We had to adjust our scholarships so we had a level playing field with other schools such as Nebraska and Iowa State," he said. "We've had a pretty enthusiastic interest from the students."
The University offers $12 million in scholarships through departments, National Merit and other programs, Cerveny said.
Maureen Morton, Moravia, N.Y., freshman and National Merit scholar, chose the University instead of some East Coast schools for financial reasons.
"Kansas was on a list of the top 100 state schools, and I needed to pick a less expensive school," she said. "Everyone was surprised I chose to come here."
"We want people to understand the exciting academic program we have here and know that KU wants them," he said. "Good students attract other good students."

Cerveny said the Honors Program played an important role in recruiting National Merit scholars. When the scholars are contacted by the Office of Admissions, recruiters stress the merits of the Honors Program
Mark Nesbitt-Daly, assistant director of the Honors Program, said: "The Honors Program can provide individualized attention and services students can normally get from a smaller school. They can take honors classes with our outstanding faculty filled with other honors students."
One-third of the 300 freshman honors students this year are National Merit scholars.
"We encourage all the honors students to make the maximum of their years at KU," he said. "When they leave, if they've done well, they can go to the best graduate schools because of the top education they received."
National Merit scholars are students who scored in the top one percent on the Scholastic Aptitude Test. Since each state sets individual standards for SATs, the states have different ranking systems. To become a National Merit finalist, high school grades also are examined
Cerveny said he wanted to maintain the tradition of bringing in top students to the University.
"We hope we can continue to look at 100 National Merit scholars every year," he said.

Earthquake hits close to home for some Turkish students
By Katie Hollar
By Katie Hollar writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Almost 6,000 miles away from the epicenter of Tuesday's earthquake in Turkey, Lawrence residents and students at the University of Kansas reacted to the news of the tragedy.
The earthquake, gauged at a 7.4 on the Richter scale, struck at 3:02 a.m. local time — 11:02 a.m. Central Daylight Time — Tuesday morning near Istanbul, Turkey's capital and largest city.
Tugce Sarikus, Wichita junior, grew up in Istanbul and spent the summer there visiting her parents. She left Monday.
"A hospital 20 minutes from my house was completely destroyed," she said. "My parents were really scared and slept in their car for two days."
Although Ivan Orge's hometown is about 300 miles from the tremor, he had several family members in the area. Orge, Ankara, Turkey, graduate student, said he had heard yesterday that they were safe.
"I really didn't think it was a big deal until a friend told me the magnitude of the earthquake," she said. "I called my parents immediately."
Sarikus said she had experienced earthquakes in Istanbul before but never ones with this force.
Several experts have speculated as to whether some of the substantial damage could have been prevented if the buildings had been fortified properly.
he said. "It was just so sad."
"If you look at the areas with the most casualties carefully," he said, "most are in the working-class neighborhoods."

The 190th ARW is serving at Incirlik Air Base in the southeastern part of Turkey.
The quake rattled the northwestern part of the country.
Fruendt said electrical service at the air base was interrupted overnight, and 190th ARW members reported some buildings were operating with the help of backup generators and phone service was limited. They did not feel the quake and said that the disruption of utilities was just a nuisance.

Lewis Hall opens after renovations
Incoming coed residents happy despite missing laundry facilities, library
By Lori O'Toole
Resident assistant Annie McBride said she hadn't heard any complaints about the newness of the building although the lack of washers, dryers and computers have caused some irritation.
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
After more than a year of renovation, Lewis Hall, 1530 Engel Road, opened Saturday as home to about 270 students.
The smells of fresh paint and drywall linger in the air in Lewis Hall.
"It's like living in a hotel," Mr. Bride, Omaha, Neb., sophomore, said. "Everything is so new. It's not like what you think a dorm would be like."
The renovation altered the rooms from double-occupancy to quad suites with two bedrooms, a living area, a bathroom and a large walk-in closet.
Fred McElhenie, Department of Student Housing associate director, said the floor plan was similar to that of Templein Hall, which opened as a newly renovated hall for the 1998 fall semester.
"In trying to meet the needs of today's students, they're asking for more space, more privacy," McElhenie said. "It's more familiar, more like what they had at home. These are the kinds of things we're trying to accomplish through the renovations."
Lewis first opened in 1959 as an allwomen's residence hall. This is the first year that men are able to live there during the academic year.
The hall closed after the 1998 spring
semester. Workers emptied the building and knocked down the walls, sending debris out windows, down chutes and into trucks that hauled it away.
Workers installed new plumbing and electrical connections before they built the new rooms.
Construction, which was completed in July, cost $5.9 million. The only remainder of the original building is the exterior shell.
The change in the floor plan decreased the hall's capacity from 432 to 270.
McElhenie said there were hundreds of students on Lewis' waiting list.
The waiting list was cleared on Saturday since wait-listed students who

had indicated Lewis as a preference on their housing applications were moving in elsewhere.
Students who selected Lewis as a preference on their application and were assigned to a different location should reconfirm their preference with the housing department in order to be placed on Lewis' waiting list, McElhenie said.
He said about 50 percent of Lewis

Lawrence youth fires rounds into apartment
A 16-year-old Lawrence resident opened fire on an acquaintance's apartment at 3 a.m. Saturday at the 1700 block of 24th Street, Lawrence Police said.
Three men knocked on the door of the apartment. When its occupants did not answer, one of the men drove to the side of the building, parked and brought a gun back to the apartment's sliding glass door. He fired five rounds at the door while the occupants escaped through the front entrance.
The bullets lodged into the kitchen cab inets and were recovered by Lawrence police. No injuries were reported.
A security guard witnessed the shooting and called the police, who chased the subject on foot to Country Kitchen, 151.1 W. 23rd. He remains in custody.

Commission hears land disputes over three sites
The Lawrence City Commission confronted several growing pains at its meeting Tuesday night.
Developers, the Lawrence/Douglas County Planning Commission and neighborhood residents offered opinions about how growth should proceed at three sites.
Annexation of the area bounded by Clinton Parkway, West 27th Street, Crossgate and Inverness Drives was put on hold when the developer, Dial Real of Kansas City, asked the commission to defer the decision because of a dispute between the developer and the planning commission concerning zoning.
Jim Harpool, a representative from Dial Realty, requested commercial zoning for restaurants and shopping, while the planning commission recommended residential zoning.
Despite opposition from neighborhood groups, two other projects received approval by the commission. In a pair of 3-2 decisions, with Commissioners David Dunfield and Mike Rundle opposing both, a preliminary devel opment plan for apartments and a rezoning request were approved.
The development plan for Aberdeen South Apartments drew heavy criticism from residents in the neighborhood of the site north of West 27th Street and east of Wakamusa Drive.
A lot containing a vacant church at 1127 Iowa Street was rezoned from Single-Family Residence District to Residence-Office district despite objections from residents in the area.

A police chase Monday night ended in a wreck at Eighth and Michigan streets. Lawrence Police said.
At 1:13 a.m., a Lawrence police officer spotted a 1984 blue Honda CRX speeding west at the 900 block of East 23rd Street. The officer lost sight of the car.
A few minutes later, another officer located the car speeding north at Iowa and Harvard streets.
The officer followed the car west on Ninth Street and north on Michigan Street. The driver, Andrew D. Kemme, a 22-year-old Shawnee resident, continued down Michigan and turned west at Seventh Street. He then looped around the block, driving west on Seventh Street, south on Arkansas Street and east on Eighth Street.
At the intersection of Eighth and Michigan streets, the CRX struck a 1996 black Ford Mustang traveling south on Michigan.
The driver of the Mustang, Jeffrey Mudrick, a 22-year-old Lawrence resident, was not injured. Demme was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where he was treated and released for a broken arm.

Unexplainable object baffles astronomers
NATION
LOS ANGELES—A mysterious celestial object detected three years ago in the northern sky is baffling scientists who have been unable to figure out its makeup or how far it is from Earth.
It's rare for astronomers to find an unexplainable object, but it's even more unusual for it to remain undefined for more than a week, said S. George Djorgovski, a California Institute of Technology astronomer who helped discover the object.
But the mystery object's spectrum does not fit any of the known patterns. Scientists are unsure whether the object is inside our Milky Way galaxy or at the edge of the universe.
Usually, astronomers are able to determine an object's composition and distance by breaking down its light into a spectrum and analyzing it.
Some astronomers believe the object may be a new class of quasar, sources of energy found in the center of galaxies and believed to be powered by matter falling into massive black holes.
Movie theater workers sick of the Blair Witch
ATLANTA—Movie theater employees are enduring something even more frightening than The Blair Witch Project — having to clean up after fans who get sick after watching the low-budget horror hit.
Since the fictional documentary opened last month, workers at movie theaters have had to get out the gloves and mops as moviegoers get motion sickness from watching the film's jerky, first-person perspective.
"The first weekend someone threw up in the women's restroom, the men's restroom and in the hallway," said Kris Monroe, manager at Lofont Plaza Theater in Atlanta. "It's not pleasant to clean up.
"One guy — he was really cool — he threw up in the restroom and he just came out and asked us for a mop."

residents were returning students, while most residence halls had about 35 percent returning students.
Fox lived in Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall last year and decided to move to Lewis with three friends.
"I wanted to live on campus again, and this was new," Fox said. "It's nice to know that it's all clean. It's cool that we're the first ones to live here. In most of the other dorms, everything was a little banged up."
Despite the benefits of living in the new, clean building, McBride said that there were some disadvantages while residents wait for kinks to be straightened out.
She said there were still no washers and dryers, and no computers had been set up in the hall. She said fire alarms had also been going off for unexplained reasons.
McBride said another concern was that sprinklers for the fire system hang about an inch or so from the ceiling in residents' rooms. She said if someone broke them off, gallons of water would pour out.
McBride said the irritations were outweighed by the excitement of living in the newly renovated building.
"Of course it's great to be in a new place," she said. "Those who have lived in other halls before really appreciate it here."

Officer's role in bike accident investigated
By Katie Hollar
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Douglas County District Attorney's Office is still reviewing reports of last week's accident involving an off-duty police officer.
Bicyclist Steve Mitchell, 22, was struck by a Jeep Wrangler driven by off-duty Lawrence police officer Micah Stegall, 24, the evening of Aug. 14.
Douglas County District Attorney Christine Kenney Tonkovich said yesterday she was unsure when her office would reach a decision.
Mitchell said he had been on his way home from a concert, riding down the sidewalk on Eighth Street. Stegall was traveling south on Vermont Street when he turned left onto Eighth Street and swerved to the south sidewalk, colliding with the bicycle.
"There wasn't really any reaction time, it just happened so fast," Mitchell said. "I just looked down and my thumb was totally, totally thrashed."
Mitchell said Stegall helped him up and asked if he could help.
"He asked me if there was anything he could do," Mitchell said. "I just said 'I need to go to the hospital now.'"
Mitchell accepted a ride from Stegall to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where he was treated and released later that night.
Stegall is on administrative leave from the police department. Sgt. George Wheeler said departmental action was pending on results of blood-alcohol tests from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
"We're trying to make sure we handle this case like any other case." Wheeler said.
Stegall could not be reached for comment
After a series of corrective surgeries, including plastic surgery on Monday, Mitchell has limited use of his right hand. A bass player with the Lawrence-based band PBJ, Mitchell said he had regained some mobility but still had some difficulty with certain strumming techniques.
"I still can't play slap style," he said. "I don't know if it's ever going to be possible."
Mitchell, who has no health insurance, said he would not be able to work for at least another week.
"It really sucks, because I have a lot of bills coming up," he said.
Mitchell has not decided whether to press charges against Stegall or the police department.
"I'm not a money-hungry pig, but at the same time I feel I should be compensated," he said. "I'm at a moral battle."

Scholarship hall construction begins
Bidding problems delay early work on 'Amini Two'
by Lori O'Toole
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Phil Garito, Department of Student Housing assistant manager, said that the department anticipated spending $1.9 million on the scholarship hall, the majority of which was funded by a $1.5 million donation from KU alumni Margaret and K.K. Amini.
Workers broke ground on the University of Kansas' newest women's scholarship hall Tuesday two months behind schedule because of financial setbacks.
required an additional $600,000. Garito said the additional cost would be paid by the housing department and the Endowment Association.
However, the lowest bidder, B.A. Green Construction Co., 1207 Iowa.
Garito said that the delay would not prevent the hall from opening for fall 2000.
Eye said that the contractor planned to finish the foundation of the building before winter, but that the work was complicated since a portion of the foundation would rest on columns and other portions would rest on foundation walls.
John Eye, design and construction management project manager, was not as confident about meeting the building's completion date, which was set for next May or June.
Eye said precipitation could make
"They'll be drilling nearly into bedrock to support it," Eye said. "It's a big undertaking. The contractor doesn't seem worried. Frankly, I don't know that much at this point because the weather is such a big factor."
soil conditions unsuitable for work, but that the temperature probably would not be a factor.
Like most of the building's architecture, the foundation would be nearly identical to that of Amini Scholarship Hall's, Eye said. Architects said the two buildings were designed to be mirror reflections of each another.
Garito said there would be some small differences between the two buildings. Architects created Amini with pointed and triangular architectural elements, but designed the new scholarship hall with rounded elements.
Architects also planned for the new building's bathrooms to have privacy walls to divide the sinks from the remainder of the bathroom.
"Most of the changes we've made were results of suggestions from Amini men and students already living in scholarship halls," Garito said.
The new scholarship hall is not named but has been referred to as
Amini Two. Garito said it may be named after Margaret Amini but that the donors would most likely choose its name from a list suggested by University officials.
Fifty women will live in the new building. The additional hall will even the number of men's and women's scholarship halls at KU to five apice.
Alicia Reed, Miller Scholarship Hall president, said she had considered moving into the new scholarship hall next year to fill a leadership position.
"I'm concerned about it being behind schedule," Reed, Great Bend junior, said. "A lot of people choose to come to KU because of the scholarship halls since it's cheaper and it's such a great living environment. When there's not room, some people choose not to come to KU. By being behind schedule, I was worried that we may cut some women out of coming to KU."

With evolution, Kansas bows to politics,harming education
Board of Education decision is not good for students
It has been challenging to avoid the attention the state of Kansas has received because of recent decisions and controversies dealing with Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.
Why the big fuss? The Kansas State Board of Education, consisting of 10 locally elected officials, has effectively taken a scientific principle, upheld across several fields of science for nearly 150 years, and dismissed it as heresy. Once again, the nation has witnessed how modern politics can affect negatively educational standards. Unfortunately for Kansas, we are the butt of the joke.
The conclusions the Board of Education made about de-emphasizing the theory of macro-evolution were partly based on concerns expressed by constituents who believe that evolution is being taught as fact instead of theory.
in everyday speech, we use the word theory in a looser context than scientists do. A theory, as defined by proper scientific procedure, calls for the repeated explanation of a phenomenon. That explanation must withstand thorough and continuous testing by experiments and observations.
Darwin's theories of natural selection, micro-evolution and macro-evolution all have held up to these rigorous biological and geological tests for so long that it is easy to see how some individuals not familiar with science could take evolution to be the hard truth.
However, any good scientist will tell you that Darwin's Origin of Species is not a dogmatic edict for science — it is constantly developing. Many noted scientists have come forward to say that there are holes in the fossil record, making direct evolutionary tracing difficult. Nonetheless, with each fossil that scientists find and date, more accurate lines can be drawn to our past, linking species to past origins.
The "de-emphasis" of evolution, specifically macro-evolution, stands as a low point in our state's educational history. Notable scientists from across the nation,
here at KU, and even Bill Nye the Science Guy have spoken out against the new standards our state approved.
Despite all the c troversy, perhaps the Board of Education did prevent us from reverting to the dark ages. While outwardly satisfying the crea tionism constituents, the board effectively
Kyle Ramsey / KANSAS
judged that most school districts would
teach science with evolution as they always have. This hidden compromise will
keep evolution in the classroom, but will it bring in religion?

Alcohol policy exemptions blur intent of Alcohol Task Force
For more than a year, University of Kansas students have been the target of a campaign designed to curb irresponsible drinking. Through surveys and now advertisements in this newspaper
efforts are being made to decrease problem drinking on campus. Any approach to stop abusive drinking habits must be applauded, but this campaign becomes highly condescending when taken in the context of current University policy toward alcohol consumption at University events.
As it stands, the University prohibits all consumption of alcohol on campus with the exception of certain events approved by the chancellor. According to the policy, these events must "occur in connection with official University events and/or fundraising activities for University programs." These events are enjoyed solely by adults who are either more mature or, in the case
Making exceptions to allow alcohol at alumni, athletic and other events sends the wrong message to students.
of fund raising, more wealthy than the general adult population on campus.
The University would contend the loophole is a necessity for the success of events that seek to raise money. This same logic is used to justify alcohol consumption in the gleaming new Memorial Stadium Scholarship Suites. While this is likely the assertion of benefactors who are unable to attend University functions in a completely sober manner, it destroys any legitimacy the Alcohol Task Force has in attempting to curb irresponsible drinking.
In the 1999 fiscal year, about 70 exceptions were granted for alcohol consumption. If spread evenly during the year, that would mean
that alcohol was consumed almost once every five days on campus. Are we to assume that it was consumed responsibly on every occasion? The regulations concerning these events only speak of refusing liquor to those revelers who appear to be intoxicated. By then, they would likely fall into the Task Force's presumption of binge drinking.
Print ads always will fall embarrassingly short in promoting responsible drinking when the University continues to reserve the need to serve liquor to more distinguished guests and alumni. While we are inundated with the message that students need to drink responsibly, we constantly will be reminded of an administration that preserves an obvious double standard.
In respect to the aims of the Alcohol Task Force, the administration should strive for a more consistent policy that encourages responsible drinking by everyone.
Jeff Engstrom for the editorial board
Feedback enriches Kansan tradition
This year marks the 110th anniversary of the University Daily Kansan. The Kansan has been here longer than the basketball team. In fact, when basketball came to the University of Kansas, the newspaper reported the need for students to play on the newly formed team.
The newspaper was created as a vehicle for high school and University reporters to write about the events in the state. The Kansan became the laboratory newspaper in 1945 for the school of journalism. This structure is different than most college newspapers because the Kansan is part of the school. As a learning lab, it is a training ground for students who want to become journalists. This means that sometimes we make mistakes, but sometimes we also do award-winning, creative work
If you wander the halls of Stauffer-Flint, you will see all of the awards Kansan staff members have won and portraits of some of the alumni who have worked here. If you enter almost any professional newsroom in the country, you will find Kansan alumni. I witnessed this firsthand as an intern at The Des Moines Register this summer.
The Kansan wasn't only strong in the distant past. In the last few years, it consistently has rated in the top five of all student newspapers in the country.
But that's not to say that everyone always likes the newspaper. The Kansan has been picketed,
protested and, on occasion, all of the copies of a the paper have been dumped in trash cans or Potter Lake before students could grab one. The newspaper had no means of re course because it was a free publication so it won't con

For more than a century the Kansan has covered the happenings at the University. The Kansan has played an integral part in allowing the expressions of opinion on this campus.

Public doesn't open arms to conservative Christians
Calling all Christians — especially you conservative, politically active types. Get your muzzles out, put them on and crawl back in your hole. It is really upsetting some people that you have taken an active role in public discourse.
First you had to go and get involved in the Republican Party. Never mind that you helped propel the party to its biggest gains in decades, including a takeover of the House of Representatives, Senate and many governorships. You are annoying now because of your persistence and unwavering principles. The party needs your votes, money, energy and enthusiasm, but it doesn't want your ideas
The quieter you are the better. Haven't you learned yet what happens when you speak out too much? You will be called names, marginalized and demonized as much as possible, and the media will help do that. There are people who don't like a few of your issues, and it's easier to use harsh rhetoric and scare tactics than to reasonably debate them. Speak out at your own risk.

Then there is that quaint, old-fashioned concept of values you are always bringing up. No one is perfect, including you, so why keep talking about values? If you can't live the life of a saint, don't bother trying to raise the standard. For instance, if you've ever told a lie, you don't have the right to say it's wrong. To some, it's unseemly for people to learn from their own mistakes, share from their experience or believe in something better.
Wake up — truth, morality and values are relative these days. Day care centers can raise children as well as parents can. Bad behavior can be explained by your past. A
good economy covers a multitude of social ills. And, laws are conditional. It all depends on what your definition of "is" is.
And, finally, don't bother trying to promote alternatives in the realm of education. The traditional academic community has the corner on that market. Scientists and educators are the only ones with the ability to examine evidence and arrive at logical conclusions. There is not much room for opposing thought.
Look at the Kansas Board of Education. Board members were elected from 10 districts around the state, and in some cases they were hotly contested races. Everyone had the opportunity to question the candidates, offer input and vote. Imagine the audacity of conservative board members to exercise their conscience and pass any measure with which the cultural elite disagrees. The conservatives may as well retire today, because some people think they have been bad little board members.
School choice and vouchers are another big problem. The GI Bill that provides veterans with funding for college education at the public or private school of their choice has been a marvelous success. But, don't dare threaten our public school system with similar competition at the elementary or secondary levels. I can just see the sky falling.
Yes, you Christian conservatives are citizens and have certain rights. Just don't expect to be given the same respect as other groups in our society that have demanded and received a place at the table of public discourse. Our forefathers rightly said there couldn't be an established state religion, but some have extended that to mean that any part of your religion must be suquetched in the public arena.
After all, open mindedness, compromise and respect do have their limits.

Safety officers get city jurisdiction
By Michael Terry writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Keeping the streets of Lawrence safe is no longer the job of only the Lawrence Police Department.
The University of Kansas Public Safety Office entered into an agreement with the police department May 11 to increase the University's police jurisdiction. KU public safety officers now have jurisdiction across the entire city of Lawrence, instead of just on campus.
The agreement came almost a year after a July, 1998 Kansas state law that allowed state universities to enter into agreements with local police departments to increase campus police jurisdictions.
Chris Keary, assistant director of the public safety office, said that the agreement did not mean that public safety officers would be patrolling the streets of Lawrence in search of criminals. However, he said, when an officer witnessed a crime, he would respond to the situation. But, Keary said that public safety officers had not yet dealt with many crimes off-campus.
"We have enough work on the KU campus to keep us busy, but there are times when we're transporting prisoners to the Douglas County Jail or just out picking up the mail when officers see violations occur," he said. "Now, for example, if an officer sees a drunk driver or someone excessively speeding down Massachusetts Street, he can stop them and take the proper actions."
Individual public safety officers received additional training before they were given jurisdiction across the city.
Before the agreement, public safety officers were allowed to
make off-campus stops, but they were required to radio the Lawrence police dispatch and get authorization from the officer on duty, Keary said.
"KU's officers have law enforcement certification and could go into another police department with little or no additional training." Mailen said. "This agreement just helps to make the street's of Lawrence that much safer for students and faculty as well as the whole Lawrence community."
"This was a problem because if an officer saw a suspected drunk driver sideswipe a car off-campus and then proceed to drive off, he used to have to go through this long cumbersome procedure before he could make the stop," he said. "Now the officer can act immediately and use his best judgment as to how to react to the situation, and then notify the Lawrence police and decide on what course of action to take next."
Sgt. Troy Mailen said the agreement gave his fellow officers an additional comfort level. Public safety officers could now react to a situation without worrying about a judge throwing the case out because the officer was out of his jurisdiction, he said.
"We have enough problems here on our campus," Miles said. "If they're just going to stop an individual when they see it absolutely necessary, and not go out there looking to add another ticket to their book, then I think it will probably be all right."
Michelle Miles, Lawrence junior, said that she was concerned about public safety officers spending too much time off-campus.

Faculty members get change of pace with sabbaticals
By Nathan Willis writer@kanson.com Kanson staff writer
Associate Provost Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett is taking a sabbatical this semester, leaving her duties — which include overseeing admissions, scholarships and freshman and sophomore advising — in new hands.
"It's a large job," Carlin said. "I've had to learn a lot very quickly, but I also know I have to learn a lot more."
On Monday, Diana Carlin, an associate professor of communication studies, took the place of McCluskey-Fawcett, who has been associate provost for three years for the semester.
Her duties include overseeing new student orientation, the University Registrar's office, Academic Technology Services and the informational campaign, which began recently to combat problem drinking at the University.
Still, Provost David Shulenburger said he was confident Carlin would fit into the role nicely.
"We chose Diana because she has been very involved, particularly with the work Kathleen does," Shulenburger said. "She had an ideal background for stepping into it."
That background includes her time as chairwoman of the task force that developed plans for the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, which she will now oversee. She was also chairwoman of the Department of Communications two years ago, giving her valuable experience in many of the issues she will deal with.
"I'm one who likes a challenge," Carlin said. "I've found it's very easy to become immersed in teaching and lose sight of the bigger University picture. This has broadened my perspective."
But that doesn't mean she will stop teaching. She still has one
class, Gender and Communication, and she will continue to work with communications graduate students, she said.
Meanwhile, McCluskey-Fawcett will be in Washington, D.C. As a member of the psychology department faculty, she will be working with the American Psychological Association and will write an article for The American Psychologist. Sabbaticals require faculty members to work in their fields while they are away from the University.
McCluskey-Fawcett said she had never taken a sabbatical before but felt the time was right. She said she would resume her duties Jan. 6, and that she thought the office was in good hands until then.
"I have complete confidence in Diana Carlin and the directors," she said.
After Carlin completes her time in McCluskey-Fawcett's position, she will take the place of Assistant Provost Rich Givens for the spring semester.
Carlin said she had less experience with matters that Givens dealt with, such as space concerns, research and distributing money raised by the $1-per-credit-hour technology fee.
However, she has a semester with Givens to learn the details of the job, rather than just a few weeks, she said.
Givens said he planned to spend part of his sabbatical being a mentor to students. As a professor of chemistry, he will spend about three months at the Los Alamos National Laboratories in New Mexico — the same laboratories that many claim the Chinese government stole nuclear secrets from.
Givens, however, won't be doing anything related to that. Instead, he said he would use the lab's advanced equipment to study how light affects biological processes.

Professors sue the University for bias
By Lesley Simmons writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Federal court date set for couple who claim discrimination
Cynthia Annett, former assistant professor in the department of ecology and evolutionary biology, and her husband, Raymond Pierotti, associate professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, are proceeding with a joint lawsuit against the University of Kansas
And Mike Cuenca, assistant professor of journalism, and Marie Aquilino, former assistant professor of art history, also are suing the University for discrimination
Annett and Pierotti are seeking $400,000 for alleged violations of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Annett alleged that sexual discrimination in her department kept her from being awarded tenure. Pierotti, a member of the Comanche Nation, claimed that racial discrimination caused him to lose his lab space and his position as head of the department's minority affairs committee.
The couple have a Feb. 1 court
date in a federal court in Kansas City. Until then, they will continue to work with their law firm, which they have hired on a contingency basis, assembling evidence and taking depositions as part of the pretrial discovery phase.
Annett said that her problems began with her fifth-year mandatory tenure review. She was denied tenure. The reason the department gave her for not granting tenure was research productivity, but the department didn't reveal any specific problems, Annett said.
Berry Clemens, administrative assistant for the department of ecology and evolutionary biology, said the University general counsel had instructed her and her colleagues not to talk about the case.
Annett was given a one-year contract, with a second chance for tenure review at the end of the year. She said her department told her that for her second tenure review she would be judged by separate criteria than other candidates, but she wasn't told what the criteria was.
The University's faculty handbook states that, during the tenure process, the "department shall make known to its faculty the criteria for evaluation."
Aquilino fitted suit against the University, alleging that she was
denied tenure because of sexual discrimination. Her trial date is March 3 at federal court in Kansas City.
Aquilino said in June that she thought she was denied tenure because she didn't fit gender roles among the faculty and because she incorporated gender issues into her classes.
Aquilino said she went through all of the channels in filing a grievance with the University before deciding to sue. She said she was seeking $100,000 in damages but would be content with whatever amount the courts decided.
Now she is writing a book about domestic violence in contemporary visual culture with a grant she was awarded by the American Association of University Women
Linda Stone-Ferrier, chairwoman of the department of art history, said that according to University policy she could not comment on the lawsuit.
Daniel Bays, professor of history and chairman of the history department, said he didn't know any of the details of these lawsuits, but that he approved of the tenure system in general.
"I think it's a protection for the individual, if they receive tenure," he said. "The process is a protection for the teaching and scholarly standards of the institution."
Bays said the peer review system
prevented friends of superior faculty members from receiving tenure undeservedly.
Cuenca filed a lawsuit alleging that he had been consistently denied positions within the journalism school because he was Asian-American. He will have a mandatory tenure review next year. Cuenca said he would let the court decide the amount he should be awarded.
Cuenca said he was motivated to file suit because he wanted to have his record cleared and because he wanted to see policies put in place to keep others from going through what he had been through.
He also is working on the discovery phase of his case. No court dates have been set.
James Gentry, dean of the school of journalism, said he could not comment on the case and deferred to the University counsel.
Barbara McCloud, assistant University general counsel, said it was the office's policy not to comment on pending litigation.
Cuenca and Pierotti continue to work for the University. Annett has an unpaid position now as adjunct professor in the Russian and Eastern European studies department. She will be leading student exchanges to Siberia.

Maxwell leads committee that reports to Regents
By Chris Borniger writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Student Body President Korb Maxwell is now the chief student representative for not only the University of Kansas, but also for all six universities governed by the Board of Regents.
In June, Maxwell was elected chair of the Students' Advisory Committee, which consists of the student body presidents from the University, Kansas State University, Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University and Pittsburg State University.
Maxwell said his three years of working with Regents and the state legislature as a member of Student Legislative Awareness Board gave him the experience needed to work with Regents.
"My role has been the voice of students," he said. "That lets me use my knowledge to benefit students in a very real way. Now I have a direct way to talk to the Regents."
Maxwell will attend all Regents meetings. He said his close involvement with the Regents would be an asset to Student Senate.
"Since I'm actually sitting at the table with them, I can relay back to Senate better." Maxwell said. "It's helpful to have that conduit and get their advice."
The committee, established in 1975, advises the Regents on University-related issues. The committee is made up of six voting members, but student body presidents from the KU Medical Center and KState's Salina campus also are members. As chairman, Maxwell represents more than 80,000 students in
Regents universities.
Maxwell said that this year's agenda for the committee included continuing work on
for the committing work on increasing faculty salaries, improving academic advising, establishing a zero percent increase on tuition and increasing library funding. He said the committee also would deal with one of the greatest issues of concern to students
P. S. Bhatia
Maxwell: Leads advisory committee to Regents
— the recently modified structure of the Board of Regents.
"There's a big difference between what they're after and what we're after," Maxwell said.
At the University, Maxwell said his contact with the Regents would increase student influence on the administration.
"The administration wants an easy ship and not to rock it at all," he said. "If I can go straight to the top, the Chancellor has to notice that. I'm talking to the boss' boss."
Jason Heinrich, student body president at K-State and committee member, said he expected Maxwell to represent SAC well.
"We want to establish SAC as an important player in the system of higher education," Heinrich said. "Korb's a great leader, and he has good vision. He'll do a fine job."

Wild Care helps animals get back on their feet
KU students care for injured critters
Melany Sutherland methodically cuts up a dead rat with a pair of scissors in preparation for feeding a baby kestrel hawk brought into Wild Care, a farm that has been converted into an emergency veterinary clinic.
By Tadd Halstead
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer.
Sutherland gently taps the head of the hawk in an attempt to get its attention. The hawk, sparsely covered with brown and white down, extends its long, sinewy neck upward to grasp the food from her hand. The kestrel, eyes still shut, is blind to the world and to the human nature of its provider as it voraciously swallows the small piece of rat entrails.
The kestrel is one of many animals at Wild Care, a non-profit organization at Sunflower Farm, located outside Lawrence off K-10 Highway.
Sutherland, administrative manager of Wild Care for the past eight years, said that the organization's main mission was to care for injured or orphaned animals and nurse them back to health or raise them until they were able to be released into their natural habitats.
Jill Richardson, Lawrence senior and Wild Care volunteer, learned about Wild Care at an Earth Day event in South Park.
"I've always been interested in animals, and I thought the hands-on work with animals would be a good experience," she said.
Fifteen KU students volunteer at Wild Care.
The kinds of animals commonly rehabilitated at Wild Care are proportionate to what one would find in nature. A high percentage are injured or orphaned cottontail rabbits, while about two or three bobcats are treated during a year. Sometimes more exotic animals are brought into Wild Care. Volunteers have even rehabilitated a bald eagle and a peregrine falcon.
Regan Johnston, doctor of veterinarian medicine, divides her time between her private practice and Wild Care. She said most injuries were orthopedic or traumatic and that the cause of injuries were usually man-made.
Some of these causes include automobiles, wire fences, sixpack rings or birds flying into telephone wires. Young animals usually are orphaned rather than injured, often because their parents have been killed by humans or predators.
Sutherland said that 70 percent of all injured animals were because of human intervention. But, she said, the number could be as high as 90 percent and that animals should be cared for out of a sense of responsibility.
Wild Care has several buildings to administer treatment to injured animals, including an eagle flight pen with an outdoor flight area, turtle and waterfowl habitats, pens that house larger animals such as deer, and a building that holds an office and cages for birds.
Wild Care's second mission is to educate the public about co-existing with animals through educational speeches at schools, festivals and with special interest groups. Animals that are not able to be released because of extensive injuries are used as educational tools by volunteers to teach the public.
Inside the office, a large grackle in a cage sitting on a desk greets visitors and volunteers with a raucous kaw. Beyond the office, displaying the egalitarian qualities of Wild Care, is a room where caged blue jays and exotic predatory birds await treatment. Nearby — a grim reminder of their species' low positions on the food chain — live mice and rats wait as condemned sustenances for the injured raptors and birds of prey who reside in two small rooms in the back.
About 70 volunteers assist with handling and rehabilitation of the animals. Volunteers must be 18 years old, and they must attend a monthly orientation session at which prospective volunteers tour the buildings and learn what is expected of them.
"I've always been interested in animals and I thought the hands-on work with animals would be a good experience."
Jill Richardson Lawrence senior
Volunteer Mary Trybom said, "Since I grew up on a farm, I've always been around animals, and I feel like I'm doing my part to help the environment and wild animals."
Volunteers have been receiving improved training to deal with questions from people on the phone. Often people call with questions about injured or abandoned animals. Volunteers tell callers that most injured adult animals are approachable, but that most young animals should be left alone, particularly if it is a baby rabbit or young birds in a nest.
This training has led to a drop in the number of uninjured animals being brought into Wild Care, allowing volunteers to devote more time and effort to animals in need of medical attention.
Wild Care began in 1979, when someone brought a Great Horned owl to veterinarians at the animal care unit at the University of Kansas. The veterinarians cared for the owl until it could be released back into nature. The owl is now the organization's symbol.
By the mid 1980s, so many injured and orphaned animals were being brought to the care unit that volunteers were recruited to alleviate some of the pressure on the veterinarians. In 1992, state and federal budget cuts required Wild Care to leave the University and relocate to its present location. Since then, the organization has received public and private donations.

Photographer creates unique exhibit of downtown
Portraits feature owners in stores
By Derek Prater
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Until 1958 there was only one central business district in Lawrence—downtown.
So when photographer John Gladman approached Downtown Lawrence Inc. with the idea for an exhibit featuring downtown business owners and their businesses, it didn't take long for enthusiasm about the project to spread up and down Massachusetts Street.
"I can't think of a better way to give downtown Lawrence the exposure it deserves," said Marcia McFarlane, Downtown Lawrence Inc. administrator.
"The Faces of Downtown Lawrence — Portrait of a Business Community" debuted Monday night at the Lawrence Visitor Information Center, 402 N. Second St. The exhibit comprises portraits of 21 downtown business owners in their places of business. Portraits include businesses such as Free State Brewing Co., the Antique Mall, Waxman Candles Inc. and Milton's Coffee and Wine.
Steve Jansen, director of the Watkins Community Museum of History, 1047 Massachusetts St., said he thought the exhibit was an especially suitable way to draw attention to the museum because it was of legitimate cultural interest as opposed to traditional advertising.
Linda Lester, owner of The Etc.
Shop, 928 Massachusetts St., said
she was drawn in by the uniqueness
of the project.
"I don't think anyone has ever done anything like this before," Lester said.
Gladman said his goal was to make first-rate portraits that also captured the environment of each business.
"I wanted the portraits to tell something about what these people do," Gladman said.
tor in starting the project, the turn of the millennium gave the project special historical significance.
"This is not only a great marketing tool for me but for each one of these people in it." Gladman said.
Gladman has worked on exhibits like this before with clients such as the Kansas City Symphony. When he opened a studio in downtown Lawrence in January, Gladman thought that a similar project would be a great marketing idea.
Both Gladman and McFarlane said that though it was not a fac-
Jansen, who eventually will oversee the exhibit when it moves to the Watkins Museum, said that whatever the reason, he was happy to see historical documentation of downtown.
"I'm glad, as an historian, whenever we find a reason to document who we are and tell our story." Jansen said.
As for the photos themselves, Jansen said he was surprised by the quality of his portrait.
"It was well-arranged, and it was an attractive, warm photograph," Jansen said.
McFarlane said that the schedule for the exhibit had not yet been finalized, but that she expected it to be at the Visitor Information Center for four weeks. After that it likely would visit the Watkins Museum and the Lied Center before making a tour of venues around the state. Gladman said that the tour could be a big benefit of the show.
"Hopefully, this will travel around, and people will see it and say, 'I've got to go check out downtown Lawrence,' Gladman said. "A lot of people don't know what's down here. These little shops are so unique; they should be getting a lot more attention."

Search continues in Turkey for earthquake victims
The Associated Press
ISTANBUL, Turkey—Terrified earthquake survivors sought the safety of open ground Tuesday as the enormity of Turkey's tragedy became clear: more than 2,000 people killed, 13,000 injured and thousands more missing after an overwhelming show of nature's power.
Layer by layer, from thousands of sites around western Turkey, the ruins of homes and apartment buildings gave up their dead — many in the pajamas and nightgowns they wore when the immense earthquake wreaked its 45 seconds of terror and destruction in the chilly hours before dawn. Some bodies were shrouded in the blankets and sheets of their own beds.
Geophysicists at the U.S. National Earthquake Information Center described the quake as one of the most powerful recorded in the 20th century, nearly rivaling the 7.9-magnitude earthquake that devastated San Francisco in 1906. It was felt as far east as Ankara, 200 miles away, and across parts of the Balkans.
As many as 10,000 people could still be trapped in rubble around the town of Golcuk, (pronounced GUL-jik) 80 miles southeast of Istanbul, according to the town's mayor, Ismail Baris. Thousands more were missing in Istanbul and elsewhere.
State TV reported 500 dead in Sakarya, a city 90 miles east of Istanbul.
The semi-official Anatolia news agency, quoting the prime minister's crisis center, set the overall death toll at 2,138 and the number of injured at 13,179 on Wednesday.
U. S. scientists initially reported the earthquake had a magnitude of 7.8, but acknowledged later Tuesday that its intensity might be downgraded to as low as 7.4 as additional measurements were taken into account.
The memory — and fear — of quakes runs deep among Turks. Tens of thousands of people fled to the outdoors and refused to return home amid more than 250 aftershocks. Highway medians, parks and empty lots were turned into makehift tent cities.
"We are terrified of returning home.
We will have nightmares for a long time," said Leyla Osbell, hanging blankets from trees to shade her three young children.
Authorities evacuated eight villages Tuesday near the town of Altinova, 175 miles southwest of Istanbul, because of a leak at a damaged natural gas station there, said Nihat Ozgl, the governor of the nearby town of Yalowa. It was not clear how many people were evacuated
Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit toured some of the worst hit areas before chairing an emergency Cabinet meeting Tuesday.
Under a brilliant summer sun, the hunt through the rubble produced both woeful discoveries and joyful reunions
In the Avicular district on the impoverished fringe of Istanbul, a boy cried out from the cracked concrete slabs and splintered plaster that was once his home: "Help me! I'm still alive!"
His appeal was momentarily lost in the din of desperation and anguish. Survivors wailed for those who perished when buildings shook, then entombed, sleeping families. Trucks
and backhoes rumbled as they peeled away debris. Rescue workers — some digging with picks or bare hands — carted away corpses and tried to listen for any signs of life.
"I'm here!" the boy yelled again. A worker touched his hand. "Oh, thank you," sobbed 6-year-old Memet Arsgulou. Soon he was free, weeping and hugging his mother.
Nearby, a mother tried to pry away a wall of cement blocks that she believed covered the room of her baby daughter. She eventually gave up and pounded her fists on the remains of her home.
"No, no, no!" she yelled. "Why God?
Why?
Although the quake left few marks on central Istanbul — the museums, majestic mosques and Ottoman sites familiar to tourists — the edges of the 12 million strong metropolis revealed the potential hazards of communities hastily built to accommodate the crush of rural fortune seekers. Shoddy apartment blocks and shantytowns crumbled in the quake or collapsed floor upon floor. To the southeast of Istanbul, the dev
astation was near total in some places.
Ozgal, the governor of Yalova, said: "There are hundreds of buildings collapsed. We need everything — field hospitals, kitchens, tents and ambulances."
In Izmit, an industrial city near Golcuk, medical workers smashed pharmacy windows to get supplies for hospitals swamped by the injured. More than 109 sailors were dead or missing in the ruins of barracks in Golcuk.
A host of nations, including the United States, Germany, Switzerland, Iran and even Turkey's fierce rival Greece, offered rescue teams and equipment, including dogs trained to sniff out humans trapped in the rubble.
"We can only imagine how difficult this is for them, and we will do what we can to help," President Clinton said in Washington.
"It's going to take Turkey a long time to recover," Richardson said, calling the quake "devastating."
U. S. Energy Secretary Bill Richardson, who was in Istanbul for talks on oil and gas pipeline projects, said he felt "45 seconds of very violent shaking" at 3 a.m.
U.S., Russia to discuss plans for reducing nuclear arsenals
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — The United States and Russia began talks Tuesday on reducing their nuclear arsenals and on U.S. plans to set up a new antiballistic missile defense system.
The three days of talks were not expected to produce any agreements, although the sides were likely to explore the possibility of a START III treaty that would cut their nuclear weaponry to 2,000 to 2,500 warheads each.
The U.S. team was led by Undersecretary of State John D. Holum. Grigory Berdennikov, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry's department for security and disarmament, led the Russians.
The existing START II treaty, signed by both countries in 1993 but not yet ratified by Russia's parliament, calls for both countries to scale back to 3,000 to 3,500 warheads each.
Russia has also agreed to listen to U.S. proposals on amending the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty. The United States is considering a proposal for an anti-ballistic missile defense system that is currently banned under the ABM treaty.
The U.S. plan calls for a defense system that could shoot down a single missile or a small number of missiles from such countries as Iran or North Korea. It would not be designed to counter the kind of large-scale missile attack that Russia is capable of launching, the Americans say.
Moscow adamantly opposes such changes, saying a new anti-missile defense system in the United States would upset the strategic balance.
But Russian President Boris Yeltsin agreed to discuss ABM modifications when he met President Clinton in Germany in June.
Military analyst Pavel Felgenhauer said the Russian military and diplomatic elite have been deeply critical of Yeltsin's decision to discuss the ABM treaty, seeing it as a betrayal of national interests.
However, Moscow has expressed a strong interest in a START III agreement, which would allow the cash-strapped government to save money.
The new treaty cannot be formally agreed upon until the Russian Duma ratifies the START II treaty
The Kremlin has urged the Duma to make START II a priority, but lawmakers say there is virtually no chance of approval until after a new parliament is elected in December.
Lebanon guerrillas attack soldiers in Israel to avenge leader's death
The Associated Press
MARKABA, Lebanon—Hezbollah guerrillas avenging a commander's slaying killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded four others in clashes Tuesday in southern Lebanon that also left one guerrilla dead, security officials said.
Israel sent its air force on several bombing runs during a fierce four-hour artillery, mortar and rocket battle in Wadi Slouki, a valley across from the Israeli-occupied zone.
Israel confirmed airstrikes on Lebanon, but did not have immediate comment on its casualties. It was the most serious fighting since Israel air raids in central Lebanon in June, where 10 people were killed.
The Israeli casualties, if confirmed, would be Israel's first combat fatalities in Lebanon since Prime Minister Ehud Barak took office in July. They almost certainly would increase calls in Israel for a withdrawal.
Barak has pledged to pull the army out of Lebanon within a year. He suggested the fighting would be what would make it possible to remove
the Isreali army from Lebanon by agreement.
Meanwhile, in the Hezbollah stronghold of south Beirut, a funeral was held for commander Ali Hassan Deeb, better known as Abu Hassan, who was killed by roadside bombs Monday in the southern port city of Sidon.
The Iranian-backed Hezbollah and the Lebanese government blamed Israel for the bombing. No one has claimed responsibility.
More than 8,000 Hezbollah supporters marched behind Abu Hassan's coffin. Ceremonies were conducted in a traditional Shiite Muslim manner.
The crowd shouted slogans borrowed from Hezbollah's Iranian revolutionary mentors: "Death to America! Death to Israel!" and "America is the Great Satan!"
In Tuesday's combat, fighter jets fired two missiles at the Wadi Slouki area, which is believed used by Hezbollah guerrillas as a base.
An Israeli army spokesman in Jerusalem said jets destroyed a Hezbollah gun and towing vehicle, but there was no independent confirmation that any guerrilla targets were hit.

Peruvian military kills rebel and wife
The Associated Press
LIMA, Peru — One of a dwindling number of Shining Path rebel leaders was killed, along with his wife, during a clash with military forces in Peru's northwestern jungle, officials said Tuesday.
Carlos Audel Nunez, also known as "Comrade Manuel," died Saturday in the jungle province of Tocache, 280 miles northeast of Lima, along with his wife, Mercedes Chamorro Arrieta, military officials told The Associated Press.
Nunez was considered the right-hand man of Filomeno Cerron Cardoso, who officials say now heads the Maoist Shining Path after the July 14 capture of the group's national leader, Oscar Ramirez Durand.
Military units had been sent into Peru's jungle highlands north of Lima to search for Cardoso, who fights under the name "Comrade Artemio."
Nunez's death was another blow to the weakened rebel group, which lost its destructive momentum after the capture of its legendary founder, Abimael Guzman, in a Lima safe house in 1992.
Cardoso's rebels had been blamed in recent weeks for a series of attacks and acts of sabotage, including firebombing trucks and knocking out electricity towers, affecting towns throughout the Huallaga Valley, a traditional stronghold for the rebel group.
The Shining Path in the late 1980s and early 1990s almost brought the Peruvian government to its knees, assassinating mayors and informers and waging a vicious car bombing campaign in Lima. Since 1980, the fighting has left 30,000 dead, including soldiers, rebels and civilians.
Taiwan rolls out tanks, tensions increase
The Associated Press
CHI TOWNSHIP, Taiwan — Tanks blasted at steel targets and ran obstacle courses through water and smoke Tuesday, while anti-tank launchers fired salvos in a deafening display of how Taiwan would defend itself against any invasion from China.
Such live fire demonstrations have always been common as Taiwan's government tries to show taxpayers their defense dollars are being well spent. But they've taken on a new urgency now that military tensions across the Taiwan Strait have escalated to their highest level in three years.
Beijing has reiterated its threat to attack Taiwan following President Lee Teng-hui's assertion of statehood last month. But Taiwan doesn't want a fight, and the Taiwanese military commanders said the timing of the tank drills — which had been in the works
— which had been in the works for months — was purely coenci-
After the firing stopped and the smoke cleared, Lei Yuan-chiao, deputy army commander in chief, smiled broadly and gave a thumbs up verdict on the rollout of four souped-up M-41D tanks. The tanks could play a crucial role in any war against China, even though they are almost as old as the half-century conflict that has simmered since Taiwan was separated from China in a 1949 civil war.
dental.
"We can now be assured of the effectiveness of the upgrade," Lei told reporters who watched the display along with lawmakers and residents of the mountainous area around a sprawling complex of defense factories, 120 miles south of Taipei.
The Taiwanese insisted they were not rattling any sabers.
It was likely a coincidence that the Taiwanese exercises came right after China's profile made its own high-profile display of

force Monday, parading missiles on trucks, armored personnel carriers and tanks through Beijing.
At the Taiwanese military show, a local noodle shop owner, Lin Tun, said he was impressed by the tanks but not overly worried about an attack from Beijing.
"It's really good to know that our military is on the ball," Tun said. "But I don't think China will do anything. We're not scared of
China."
China says Lee's July 9 statement that relations between the sides should be termed "state-to-state" was effectively a bold step toward formal independence, something China says will lead to war. Beijing has demanded that Taiwan repudiate Lee's remarks, but Taipei has shown no signs it will back down.
Ever since their civil war, China has viewed Taiwan as a renegade province that must eventually be reunited with the mainland, by force if necessary.
Taiwan's military says flights by Chinese warplanes over the Taiwan Strait have become more frequent in recent weeks — including, for the first time, training flights by the Chinese air force's most sophisticated Sukhoi 27 jets. But it insists it sees no indications that China is preparing military action.
Many of the overhauled M-41D tanks will be deplored on the
heavily fortified island groups of Kinmen and Matsu just off the Chinese coast, the military said. They are considered prime targets for any Chinese show of force.
So far, 50 of Taiwan's aging corps of roughly 400 M-41 tanks have undergone the upgrade — receiving night vision viewfinders, laser sights, new diesel engines and cannons, said Chang Ke-su, an officer on the project.
The upgrade program, at $621,000 per tank, is far cheaper than the cost of purchasing new models. It was accelerated after China held threatening war games and fired missiles into waters near Taiwan in 1996, the last major flaring of tensions across the strait.
The 25-ton M-41 tanks dates first entered service with the U.S. Army in 1950. But for Taiwan, the model is still vital to guarding the shoreline and sinking landing vessels before they can make a beachhead, Lei said.
Rebel groups in Congo call for cease-fire in dispute
The Associated Press
KISANGANI, Congo — Four days of heavy combat in this northern Congolese city turned into an uneasy calm after Uganda and Rwanda agreed to an immediate cease-fire.
The two nations, whose fighters had been battling in the streets of Kisangani since Saturday, agreed Tuesday night to put down their arms.
"There been a cease-fire. Both sides agreed," Lt. Col. Patrick Nyavumba, commander of Rwandan forces in Congo, said Tuesday. He did not indicate the length of the cease-fire, but Ugandan state radio also announced that an accord had been reached.
Neither rebel movement signed the accord, though both said they agreed to it.

UGANDA

A cease-fire was called between Ugandan and Rwandan forces, who were battling in the streets of Kisangani.
The agreement, which called for an immediate end to the fighting in Kisangani, followed talks between Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni and Rwandan Vice President Paul Kagame at Queen Elizabeth National Park in southwestern Uganda.
While Rwanda and Uganda were once unified in their support for rebels fighting Congolese President Laurent Kabila, a simmering feud about their backing of separate rebel factions turned into full-scale combat on Saturday.
While the two nations had initially joined a group of Congolese Tutsis, disaffected Congolese soldiers and opposition politicians fighting Kabila, their differences have deepened since Kabila and three other African nations
signed the July 10 accord in Lusaka, Zambia. At issue is which rebel leader will sign the Lusaka accord.
Wamba, who was thrown out of the main rebel group in May, insists on signing the July agreement. With Ugandan backing, he set up his headquarters in Kisangani.
His Rwanda-backed successor, Emile Ilunga, claims Wamba has no troops and no political following. He refuses to sign the accord if Wamba does.
Uganda also wants a quick withdrawal from Congo while Rwanda refuses to pull out until Rwandan Hutu militiamen, responsible for the 1994 Rwandan genocide, are removed from Kabila's army and turned in for trial.
Russia blames peacekeepers for causing attacks in Kosovo
The Associated Press
PRISTINA, Yugoslavia — Russia blamed its NATO peacekeeping partners for attacks against Kosovo Serbs while victims of the latest violence — a mortar attack in an area where American troops are supposed to keep order — were buried.
Russia leveled its charge one day after attackers, who are presumed to be ethnic Albanians, fired nine mortars onto the southeastern village of Klokot, killing two Serbs and injuring five. The Kosovo Liberation Army was supposed to have turned all mortars and other heavy weapons over to peacekeepers, although it was unclear whether the guerrillas launched the attack.
"Violence is raging in Kosovo. The killings of peaceful civilians, arsons and robberies of non-Albanians multiply," the Russian Foreign Ministry said. "In essence, ethnic cleansing is in full swing in Kosovo. This is the outcome of the 'poly'
of pacifying' Albanian separatism on the part of several Western nations."
The statement was a clear reference to American support for ethnic Albanians and the separatist KLA during the 78-day NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, which ended when Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic accepted a peace plan in June.
Russia called for energetic actions to stop terrorism, separatism and ethnic cleansing in Kosovo, a province of Serbia, Yugoslavia's dominant republic. The statement also charged Kosovo's independence-minded ethnic Albanians of openly challenging the international community.
On Tuesday, Serb villagers in Klokot buried the victims of the mortar attack — a 23-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man. An American tank stood guard outside the Serbian Orthodox church as the procession passed through the village.
Threats by ethnic Albanian neighbors have prompted
most of the province's 200,000 Serbs to flee. But Klokot villagers vowed to stay, despite the attack.
"We don't have anywhere to go," cried Ljubica Marinkovic, a villager.
Russia vehemently opposed NATO's bombing campaign and generally sided with the Serbs, Moscow's traditional allies.
Hopes that ethnic tensions may be easing were raised Monday when ethnic Albanians in the northern city of Kosovska Mitrovica called off a planned demonstration after U.N. and French officials announced a plan to allow 25 Albanian families a day to return to their homes in the Serb-controlled sector of the city.
The city has been divided along ethnic lines the troops have been attempting to prevent violence.
On Tuesday, however, a Serbian leader in Kosovska Mitrovica denied he had agreed to the resettlement plan.

Gore project claims exaggerated savings
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON— Some of the cost savings claimed by Vice President Al Gore's project to streamline government were
overstated, and other cuts in expenses can't be substantiated, according to auditors who looked at changes in three agencies.
SINCE 1980
Gore's "reinventing government" project claimed $21.8 billion in savings it lacked evidence to support, inflated savings by double-counting cost cuts and took credit for savings that may have been the result of other efforts to
Gore: Exaggerated savings
our government bureaucracy, the General Accounting Office report said.
Project officials also neglected to take into account expenses that offset some of the savings, said the GAO, Congress' auditing and investigative arm.
White House officials disputed the GAO findings and said offsets to the savings were accounted for. They acknowledged that savings were overstated by several hundred million dollars but said the reinventing project is on track to save an estimated $137 billion and characterized the GAO's findings as an arcane debate about accounting.
"What really matters is that government is smaller than it's been since the Kennedy administration, and it operates better, more efficiently and is saving taxpayers money," said Linda Ricci, spokeswoman at the White House Office of Management and Budget, which calculated the savings estimates for Gore's project.
A House Republican who requested the report seized on its findings to criticize Gore, the front-running Democratic presidential candidate.
Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ind., chairman of the
House Government Reform Committee, said the report released Monday shows that Gore greatly exaggerated the success of his National Partnership for Reinventing Government.
"It looks like they were reinventing accounting rules," Burton said.
Gore launched the reinventing project in 1993, promising to make government work better and cost less by reducing bureaucracy, cutting contracting costs and relying more on technology. Project officials claim $107 billion in savings and say they have locked into place another $29.6 billion in savings.
GAO looked at almost $30 billion in claimed savings from reinvention initiatives at NASA and the departments of Agriculture and Energy. They found several problems:
— OMB did not keep records supporting $21.8 billion in claimed savings. Ricci said OMB did not save worksheets from the calculations, some of which were done six years ago. But she said that OMB budget specialists could reconstruct how they calculated the savings.
— The project claimed savings that could not be fully attributed to its efforts and actually resulted from separate efforts, said GAO. For example, Gore's project took full credit for savings at Energy Department weapons laboratories that would have occurred anyway because of the end of the Cold War. GAO noted.
— OMB double-counted estimated savings in at least two instances, thereby inflating cost cuts. Ricei disputed GAO's findings and said OMB analysts inadvertently double-counted in only one case, leading to an overstatement of about $770 million in savings. She said that was more than offset by another counting error in which OMB underestimated about $2 billion in savings.
Ricci said that NPR's estimate of $137 billion in savings will pan out.
"While I won't predict down to the dollar," Ricci said, "we will be comfortably within that range."
Smoking hazards worse than was earlier thought
The Associated Press
LONDON— Highlighting the dangers of passive smoking, a new study suggested Tuesday that breathing in other people's cigarette smoke makes nonsmokers 82 percent more likely to suffer a stroke.
The study by researchers at the University of Auckland in New Zealand is the most rigorous to date and gives more ammunition to those campaigning to have smoking banned in all workplaces and public areas.
Current estimates of how smoking increases the risk of various diseases are dramatically underestimated because the ill effects of secondhand smoke inhalation are not taken into account, say the researchers, whose work is published in the British medical journal Tobacco Control.
That means research into the hazards of tobacco smoke has artificially narrowed the true gap between smokers and people whose bodies really are tobacco-free, said Dr. Rodney Jackson, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Auckland and one of the authors of the study.
Because New Zealand's anti-passive-smoking legislation is among the most progressive in the world, it is easier to separate out people who have been exposed to secondhand smoke, he said.
The study examined 521 stroke patients in Auckland and compared them with 1,851 randomly selected healthy people matched by sex and age to see the effect of smoking and second-hand smoke on the chances of suffering a stroke. None of the subjects was older than 74.
"Half the people who have strokes are 75 or older, so these are premature strokes that should not be happening," said Ruth Bonita, the lead author of the study, who now runs the noncommunicable disease section at the World Health Organization.
Anyone who smoked at least one cigarette a day was termed a smoker. Those who had either never smoked or hadn't smoked for at least a decade were considered nonsmokers. Other former smokers were divided according to how long it had been since they stopped.
Lutherans, Episcopalians consider unity
The Associated Press
DENVER—Challenging his listeners to make history, a noted historian yesterday presented a controversial proposal for close unity, but not full-fledged merger, between the Episcopal Church and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
Martin E. Marty, a Lutheran pastor and recently retired University of Chicago professor, was co-chairman of the panel that wrote the proposal.
also favors the pact.
"Through your vote, you can make history," Marty told the Lutheran church's national assembly.
The Episcopal, co-chairman,
Bishop Christopher Foping of Iowa,
told the assembly that they may not
have this opportunity again. He
prayed that they would not miss it.
"What a step into the new millennium," said Lutheran Presiding Bishop H. George Anderson, who
But in his sermon at opening worship Monday, Anderson said he faced the week's deliberations with fear of boiling frustrations, of misunderstood arguments, of temps out of control and of conflict that seems unresolvable.
Anderson's prepared text said some have talked about an ecumenical train wreck, but he omitted that remark.
Under the proposed pact, scheduled for a vote today, the 5.2 million Lutherans and 2.3 million Episcopalians would recognize and share each other's clergy and sacraments, cooperate in mission projects and make joint decisions on important issues.
The Rev. Daniel Perry, the ecumenical officer for the Episcopalians, said the pact would help both denominations because they could share clergy and mission work in urban and rural areas where
their resources are spread thin.
The pact needs two-thirds approval from the 1,039 delegates. Two years ago, the Episcopal Church gave overwhelming approval but the Lutheran assembly's vote fell just short of two-thirds. The pact has been slightly reworked since.
The sticking point is that in the future Lutherans must follow the Episcopal practice known as the historic episcopate. Each Lutheran bishop will be installed by three predecessor bishops in a line believed to extend back to Christ's apostles, and all clergy will be ordained by such bishops.
Catholic and Orthodox churches, like the Episcopalians and other Anglicans, follow this procedure. But Lutheran teaching does not require it and many Lutheran bodies, including those in the United States, have never followed it.
Hours before the assembly open
ing, a meeting of Lutheran bishops shared worries about this week's deliberations and the aftermath.
Bishop Richard Foss of Fargo, N.D., a staunch foe, assured his colleagues that no schism would occur if the Episcopal nact passes.
"There is zero chance of a breakaway church," he said. "That's just not on the table."
But several of his colleagues warned there would be hard feelings among members whichever side wins.
"We're a divided church on this issue," said Bishop Peter Rogness of Milwaukee.
Since 1892, when the Lutherans and Episcopalians first declared a preliminary level of fellowship, the Episcopal Church has seen a net loss of 455,000 members, or 16 percent. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has lost membership, too, but far less drastically.

story steph brewer • photos by christina neff
Kansas has more to offer than wheat and Wizard of Oz jokes. When I started my freshman year at the University of Kansas in 1995, I decided that I was going to spend at least one weekend exploring the oddities of the state. I had heard about the big ball of twine on a quiz show and, of course, was determined to view this wonder. After all, there's nothing more fascinating than twine. Fast forward to the fall of 1999. It's its fifth year, and December graduation is staring me in the face. I still haven't seen the twine. I decide to take a road trip and document my findings in the Kansan. Here is my story.
July 28, Killingworth, CT: I decide to get a head start on my first feature page, of which I am the editor, before I go back to school. I sit down at my computer for a long night of research about odd sites in Kansas. Ten minutes later I am printing out my list courtesy of the www.roadsideamerica.com Feed the Tree archive. Apparently, I'm not the only one interested in twine and large prairie dog statues.
August 11, Lawrence: I'm back at school preparing for the trip. My designer bursts my bubble by telling me that many of my proposed desti nations, such as the Barbed Wire Museum and the giant

August 12,
Lawrence, 9:45 a.m. I arrive at the newsroom to
learn that we are running
an Associated Press story
on the Cawker City ball
of twine in the back-to-
school issue of the
Kansan. This means I have to cross the site off my list. I am crushed but determined to still have my adventure. We're starting off by going to Abilene, then to Lucas and, finally, back home to Lawrence.
August 12, I-70, somewhere between Lawrence and Abilene,
11:30 a.m.: Having stayed out way too late last night, I am already tired of driving. At least the scenery is prettier than I thought it would be.
August 12, Abilene. 12:30 p.m.: We arrive at our first destination, The Museum of Independent Telephony. Telephony is the science of telephone transmission or the making or operation of telephones. Warning to potential visitors: This place is tricky to find. There are signs for the Dickinson County Heritage Center and Museum — where the telephone museum is housed — but the building is hidden by the Dwight D. Eisenhower museums. Turn at the Eisenhower complex and drive all the way back. Or you could see the Eisenhower stuff first. Personally, I am too psyched to see a museum dedicated to the miraculous creation called the telephone to spend time researching a dead president.
Upon entering the museum, I use a touch-screen television to view members of the Telephone Hall of Fame. If the criteria for being a hall of famer included talking on the phone and racking up huge phone bills, I might be considered. Unfortunately, members are men and women who have been honored for outstanding accomplishments and service to the independent telephone industry.
Next, I play the role of telephone operator on an old-fashioned switchboard. This is just one of many interactive features at the museum. Visitors also can talk to a friend on the old-fashioned "Talk to a Friend" telephone, pretend to talk in a turn-of-the-century phone booth or listen to music on old phones. There also is a short film about the telephone. History buffs will enjoy number of displays describing the history of the telephone and a recreation of an old telephone office.
After I have my fill of phones, I venture to the museum's backyard where I find chickens and a carousel. The fun never ends in Abilene. However, it is time for us to move on to our next destination. Lucas beckons.
August 12, I-70, somewhere between Abilene and Lucas, 2:15 p.m.: I keep myself occupied by looking at the Flint Hills and the plethora of cows that dot the Kansas landscape. However, I soon realize that my driving suffers when I look out the side windows too much, so I leave the cows to their grazing.
August 12, Lucas, 4 p.m.: We enter Lucas and follow the signs to the Garden of Eden. The sight of the house shocks me out of my travel-weary stupor. Tan sculptures snake up into the sky, appearing both ridiculous and scary. We learn at the door that there is a guided tour that costs $4.25. I have to pay in quarters. Having been told by my associate editor that the tour would include the viewing of a rotting corpse, I am eager. I want to get to that part right away.
The rest of the tour soon proves to be as interesting as an old, dead guy. We start by walking around the outside of the house. We learn that the wacky, limestone house was built by S.P. Dinsmoor in 1907. The back porch features home touches such as cement-filled beer bottles. These

were added so people could look at alcohol since they couldn't drink it during Prohibition.
Next we tour the garden. Huge cement poles support 150 sculptures. The religious part of the yard features an arbor with statues of Adam and Eve. Our tour guide tells us Dinsmoor had to clothe the naked innocents because of pressure from town officials. The religious theme continues around the front, but then the mood turns political.
Lynn Scheider, our tour guide, tells me one of the political statues, a labor crucifix, is among the more popular at the house. The statue criticizes lawyers, doctors, preachers and bankers for taking money from the common man. This makes me laugh since Dinsmoor specifically designed his house to be a tourist attraction and admits in writing that he wanted to charge people to see his body decompose. Hmmm ... sounds like a big business attitude to me. Despite this conflict between principle and practice, I'm impressed by this crazy house.
Finally, it is time to enter the mausoleum to see my first-ever dead body. It feels sick and wrong to want to see this, but I do it anyway. It's less ghoulish than I thought it would be, but it teaches me a valuable lesson. I never knew hair lasted that long. Dinsmor has been dead 67 years and he still has a beard!
Inside the house a new tour guide shows us some pictures of Dinsmoor and his wives. His second wife married him when she was 20 and he was 81 and they were still able to have kids! I'm not so sure I understand why she'd want to be that intimate with a man old enough to be her grandfather. I guess he must have had hidden charms.
Downstairs I realize that I didn't have to go to the Barb Wire Museum because there's a barb wire collection here! I learn that apparently barb wire collecting is a popular and fast growing hobby. I better get started so I don't get left behind.
We decide to head back to Lawrence, so I sign the guest book and bid farewell to Dinsmoor and all of his cement.
August 12, Lawrence, 7:30 p.m.: I arrive home. My adventure is finished. I would've liked to visited more sites, but I'm satisfied. I have driven 400 miles, seen a lot of phones, observed a man decomposing and made it back in time for Thursday night TV.
Paradise found in sculptor's concrete fantasy land
By Dan Curry
Associate feature editor
There are two Gardens of Eden. Adam flubbed the first one out of existence.
At the entrance to his yard, a concrete angel hovers above a brown scene of Old Testament characters. Adam and Eve hold hands beneath a child who falls from a concrete stork's bill, and Abel's shepherd dog noses his master's grave. Real coyote teeth line the dog's concrete gums.
The other Eden lives on in Lucas and consists of several large outdoor concrete sculptures. They depict allegorical tableaus that resemble old-fashioned political cartoons rendered in three dimensions.
The creator, S. P. Dinsmoor, a bony, hazel-eyed farmer with a long, white beard, a fetish for concrete and a disconcerting chumminess with death, built the sculptures during the 1920's.
The head of the devil glows at night with a light bulb for a brain, and the All-seeing Eye of God, constructed with wire mesh and hand-mixed cement, oles passsyby.
Once it sometimes spoke to them.
"Coke, you son of a gun, where is your brother?"
Once it sometimes spoke to them.
Abel?" the Eve said.
Dinsmoor had run a pipe from his basement up through a concrete pole into the All-Seeing Eye. Dinsmoor wrote that he would startle people outside his home with messiacal questions from God.
This is the legacy of a man who rescued his first wife from her first grave in 1917, sired two children in his eighties with a second wife in her twenties, went blind in 1930 and had himself buried in a glass-walled coffin in his back-yard tomb 67 years ago. Any visitor since may press his nose against the cold pane and observe, for a price, the portrait of an artist as a dead man.
He mixed more than 113 tons of cement to express his religious and political beliefs, which included a firm faith in the power of the vote, absolute equality for everyone and the turkey as the most proper and noble national bird.
It all may sound demented, or "bughouse," as Dinsmoor proclaimed himself in his book.
Retiring from farming in the 1920s no doubt left Dinsmoor in dismal finances. The Garden of Eden was his solution.
But the man was savvy.
He built his house and art with the aim of creating
The site has held up well the years and still attracts tourists, Hood said, whose group, the Kansas Grassroots Art Association, purchased the site 7 years ago to preserve it.
But in Dinsmoor's day, folks weren't so enthusiastic.
a profitable tourist attraction, said John Hood, owner of J. Hood Booksellers, 1401 Massachusetts St., and part-owner of the Garden of Eden.
People would sit on Dinsmoor's fence and bait him while he worked on his sculptures — until he drove steel nails pointy-side-up into the railings. Then officials shut off his perpetual fountain when they discovered that Dinsmoor had tapped into the city's water main, and, in a final insult, the city forbade the burial of his first wife in his backyard tomb
Dinsmoor, however, would not be compromised.
Shortly after she was interred in the city graveyard, Dinsmoor stole in the night with a shovel in the crook of his arm.
He brought her back home. Later that night, in the hush of his mausoleum, S. P. Dinsmoor tucked her in with a blanket of concrete so that no city official could disturb her. His coffin now rests upon the slab that holds her in its heart.

WHAT DUNBAR DID
- Kimberly Dunbar, a former booster of the Notre Dame Quarterback Club, spent more than $35,000 on Notre Dame players between June 1995 and December 1997. Dunbar, who is serving a four-year sentence for embezzling more than $1.4 million from her former employer, bought gifts and trips for players, including those with whom she had personal relationships.
Among the notable beneficiaries:
Irish violations could affect game
- Derrick Mayes, a wide receiver with the Green Bay Packers. In 1995, Dunbar took Mayes, whom she was dating at the time, to Las Vegas. According to court documents, she paid for his $1,836 ticket and spent $756 on a hotel room during the trip.
Before the June 14 court move, Mayes had denied
Before the June 4 court date, Moyers had denied admission to accepting the gifts at the hearing. He admitted to accepting the gifts at the hearing.
Jarvis Edison and Allen Rossum. In December 1997, Dunbar took Edison, with whom she has a child, Rossum and his girlfriend to Las Vegas on a $10,000 trip to see the Mike Tyson-Evanholy Holyfield fight.
Kansas may benefit from NCAA ruling
By Mike Miller sports@kansan.com Kansan scrippter
The NCAA's ruling on whether a booster of the Notre Dame football program gave financial help to players may not be announced until after the Aug. 28 football game against Kansas, and the probable probation outcome could be to the Jayhawks' advantage come game time.
Even if Notre Dame avoids harsh sanctions such as a ban from bowl games or national television, the likely decision of probation could make things easier on
Kansas.
As a preseason game, the Eddie Robinson Football Classic between Kansas and Notre Dame will garner loads of attention from the national media. The impending decision may loom over the game, adding pressure to Notre Dame and removing some of the focus on Kansas.
Notre Dame has been awaiting a decision since a meeting with the NCAA Infractions Committee on June 4. At that meeting, officials heard evidence that Kimberly Dunbar provided players, their families and friends with more than $35,000 in gifts and trips.
The NCAA's rules prohibit schools and their representatives from providing athletes or their relatives or friends a benefit not authorized by the NCAA.
Other harsh penalties besides bans might include a loss of scholarships or
recruiting restrictions. Even if the committee decides that the violations were major, Notre Dame could skirt serious punishment by receiving probation for five years.
Either way, the luck of the Irish seems to be running out.
When Notre Dame became aware of the situation, it contacted the NCAA to report the possible violations. Because of their assistance, officials hoped that the possible violations might not be viewed as major. NCAA enforcement officials agreed, recommending that the case should not be viewed as major.
But the infractions committee decided to review the case as a possible major violation anyway.
The Rev. E. William Beauchamp, executive vice-president of Notre Dame, issued a statement concerning the University's
stance:
"Ever since the university became aware, more than a year ago, of Mrs. Dunbar and her relationship with Notre Dame football players, we have investigated those relationships fully and made complete reports of our findings to the NCAA... We have disbanded not only the Quarterback Club, but also all fan organizations in all sports."
John Heisler, sports information director at Notre Dame, released the most recent statement on the subject in a prepared fax.
"We are not in a position to discuss this matter while it is an ongoing issue with the NCAA. The University does not expect to make any further public comment until the NCAA issues its ruling, whenever that may be," he said.
Big Mac, Sosa: chapter two is still a thriller
Kansas has not issued a statement regarding Notre Dame's situation.

Well. here we go again.
Before this season began, Mark McGwire consistently reminded us that 1988 was a year for the ages and never could be duplicated. But here we are heading in to the home stretch with Mac and Sammy leading the majors with 47 long balls each before yesterday's games.
Is anyone really shocked? Let's look at it for a second. Sammy still plays at homer-happy Wrigley. McGwire still has tree trunks for forearms. And both still get to face regularly whatever rag-arm the Marlins and Rockies
So after last weekend's head-to-head showdown in St. Louis (in which they crushed three homers each), both are on pace to finish in the mid 60s — short of last year's total but still better than a record that stood for 38 years. Anyone remember when Mike Schmidt used to lead the league with 40 home runs? Me neither.
JOHN HALL
No doubt, Major League Baseball would love to see a run at 70, and with this
latest barrage, it appears that they might seriously challenge that incredible number. The Cubs and Cardinals front offices have to be enjoying all the hoopla. Last weekends' head-to-head match-ups at Busch Stadium in St. Louis drew more than 145,000 fans. Not bad for two teams who are a combined 29 1/2 games behind the NL Central-leading Houston Astros. The Expos couldn't even get 14,000 fans to show up for Tony Gwynn's 3,000 hit.
Here's what I'm thinking: If this whole thing is so good for baseball, maybe everyone should get to help the sluggers out. The Cubs and Cardinals higher-ups should trade their injury-ridden pitching staffs to other National League teams. It's not as if the Cubs would miss that 5.36 team ERA, and Sammy has to be dreaming at hitting off of Steve "Let me place it on this tee for you" Trachsel.
in a way, baseball itself has already done a little something for the home-run race. When the umpires resigned earlier this season in an attempt to pressure baseball before next year's contract negotiations, baseball got to shed some inconsistent umpires that it wanted to let go but hadn't the authority to fire.
Minor league umpires jumped at the opportunity for a major-league job, even at the expense of some criticism from their co-workers. Their salaries will be at least $75,000 per year instead of no more than $17,000 for a full minor-league season. That sounds like an easy decision to me.
My point is, how many of those 25 rookie
umpires are going to ring Big Mac up on a
close pitch with half the world watching in
September? Media attention is the last thing
they are going to want.
42
So, mark your calendars for October 1, 2 and 3 — the last three days of the season — when Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire will go face-to-face once more in St. Louis. And don't be surprised if both are shooting for the record.
Remember, people, this is history. You may never witness it again - until next year, of course.

Pride, Johnson gain experience abroad
Pride plays for U.S., averages 13 points

In her fourth summer playing with the U.S. Pan American Games team, Kansas' Lynn Pride continued to shine in international play as one of only two collegiate athletes on the team.
The U.S. women's basketball team has won a medal in every Pan Am Games since 1955, earning six golds, three silvers and two bronze, and the 1999 team upheld this tradition.
Pride averaged 13 points and seven rebounds per game for the U.S. team en route to its 85-59 victory against Brazil for the bronze medal.
The team consisted of seven former ABL or WNBA players, three athletes who graduated from college in 1999 and two college basketball players.
Qualified collegiate athletes tried out for the team May 19-24 in Colorado Springs, Colo., and the USA Basketball Women's National Team Committee, a team of coaches from junior colleges, universities and professional teams, made the final selections based on the trvouts.
Only Pride and Edwina Brown were selected from the pool of applicants.
"This is a tremendous opportunity for Lynn," said Marian Washington, Kansas women's basketball coach. "Lynn is going to experience one of the highest levels of competition in women's basketball. This will be a really positive experience for herself, her family and the University."
"She's the best collegiate player in the country," Fortner said. "She earned the right to be there. She plays hard on both ends of the floor. She has an amazing offensive game, and she has a very big presence on defense."
U. S. coach Nell Fortner sited Pride's versatility and all-court talents as top reasons for her selection.
The team began practicing on July 17 in preparation for its first game on July 30, and inexperience was a large contributor to the team's 4-3 record.
"I felt we were the second-best team there," Fortner said. "Cuba was definitely the best, and we gave them a good run for their money in the semifinals. They were a very young team internationally, and I was very pleased
with their progress."
Pride's best performance came in a 92-80 win against the Dominican Republic, when she led the team with 20 points and 11 rebounds.
Pride also led scoring in the first loss to Cuba with a 15-point performance and scored in double figures in all but two competitions.

Big 12 rival players unlikely teammates in All-Star games
By Melinda Weaver

Kansas sportswriter
Until August, Kansas forward Jaclyn Johnson never would have thought she would have to call Kansas State's Nicky Ramage her teammate.
However, when a Big 12 Conference All-Star team featuring a player from each team in the conference traveled to play in Scandinavia, that is the situation in which the girls found themselves.
Against teams like the Tapiolan Honka TopCats and the Finnish National Team, Johnson didn't attempt to pass over Ramage, instead, she passed to her.
"It gave me a new perspective on the people I play against during the season," Johnson said. "We were all working together to try to accomplish the same thing. I thought there would be some animosity, but everyone got along great."
Oklahoma State coach Dick Halterman, who coached the All-Star team, said that he tried to ease the tension from the first day of practice, but that he did not find it to be much of a chore.
"I told them that we were going to be up-tempo, play man-to-man, put the ball in the air and have fun." Halterman said. "There was a lot of talent on that team, and I was amazed at all the phenomenal passes they made to each other and how well they worked together. We never had a problem with someone being too selfish and looking out only for themselves."

Cornhuskers top preseason poll in volleyball; Kansas ranked 9th

Kansas sportswriter
The 1999 Big 12 Conference preseason volleyball poll has the familiar tinge of Big Red.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers, defending Big 12 Conference champions and 1998 NCAA Tournament national semifinalists, were picked to repeat as conference champions in a voting of the league's coaches released Tuesday by the conference office in Dallas.
The Cornhuskers received all 10 first-place votes in the poll.
The Jayhawks were a preseason pick to finish ninth of 11 teams in the Big 12 because Oklahoma State does not compete in volleyball.
Individual Nebraska players also received accolades. Nancy Meandering, a 6-1 junior outside hitter, was picked as the preseason favorite for player of the year, and teammate Laura Pilakowski was the preseason pick for freshman of the year. Three other Cornhuskers also received votes for the conference preseason team.
(Coaches weren't allowed to vote for their own teams).
Jayhawks coach Ray Bechard
"Historically, over the years, they've been the favorite, and they have quite a bit of tradition," he said.
said he wasn't surprised that Nebraska was the team that other Big 12 teams were shooting for this season.
Amanda Reves, a 6-foot-1 senior middle blocker, was the lone Jayhawk to receive votes for the preseason conference team. Reves is coming off a junior campaign that resulted in honorable mention All-Big 12 honors.

Leo: Today is a 10.
You have a winning hand today, and it you play your cards in the right order you will win every trick and make it look easy. Others will be amazed by the breadth of your vision and the depth of your knowledge. You'll be pretty impressed with yourself, too.
Virgo: Today is a 8.
The winds of change may be blowing strong, but no way will they blow you down. According to your solar chart, you can have a say in what takes place today, but only if you overcome your fears and start taking a few more risks. What do you have to lose?
Libra: Todav is a 9.
You will get all the help you need today. You won't even have to ask for it: Those you live and work with will know instinctively what it is you require and present it to you on a silver platter with a carnation on the side. Oh, that every day could be this good.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
You are as good as the next man and better than most — and don't you know it. With Pluto, your ruler, perfectly aligned to Mercury, planet of the mind, you don't need encouragement and you don't need support — you just need people to get out of your way.
Stand up for what you believe in, and if others try to shout you down, take it as a sign that you are on the right track. Free speech is a right that is being slowly eroded. Use it or lose it is the message of the stars today.
Sagittarius: Today is a 4.
Keep your nerve and keep telling yourself there is nothing anyone can do to hurt you or make you change your opinions. And if someone threatens to damage you financially, take it as a sign that you are on the right track — and redouble your efforts.
Capricorn: Today is a 3.
Aquarius: Today is a 2.
Your convictions will change dramatically today — you may even find yourself agreeing with a doctrine or point of view you only recently decried as foolish and false. But be careful you don't go to extremes: There's nothing so dangerous as a non-believer who sees the light.
Pisces: Today is a 5.
Aries: Today is a 6.
With the work and career sectors of your chart so strongly marked today you should be looking for ways to move up in the world. Don't worry that your ambitions seem extreme: If you can see yourself in a position of power, you will find a way to get there.
Taurus: Today is a 3.

Because you are the kind of person who likes to experience things first hand, you are unlikely to believe what you are told today. But once you have tried it yourself you will quickly become a convert — and spend a large chunk of your time trying to convince everyone else.
LAW OFFICE
Be true to your nature and refuse to do anything unethical or underhanded, especially on the work front, where colleagues and employers may try to enlist your help in a scheme you know is wrong. You don't have to tell tales, but you do have to keep your distance.

The former Dallas Cowboys coach and Scooter Yates, already partners in the fishing rod business, are looking to open a chain of Barry's Chicken Ranch restaurants. Their company, Just Bird, will open the first Chicken Ranch on Sept. 7 in Norman, Okla., and the second is slated for Lawton, Okla.

Ineligible running back returns for Aggies
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — D'Andre "Tiki" Hardeman is back with the Texas A&M football team

"I am pleased to announce that Tiki Hardeman has been declared eligible and is cleared to compete this fall," coach R.C. Slocum said. "He didn't give up, but instead chose to work as hard as he could in the classroom and I'm proud of him. I look forward to having him on the playing field."

Mets, Cubs may open next season in Tokyo
NEW YORK — It looks like sushi will join hot dogs and beer on the menu for opening day, with the New York Mets and Chicago Cubs set to open next season in Tokyo under a deal that is all but complete.
Players on the two teams have approved the trip, and the team managements also gave their permission.
The two games at the Tokyo Dome March 29-30, would be the first regular-season games played outside North America.
As part of the trip, the Mets and Cubs would play a total of four exhibition games in the Tokyo area on March 27-28, including at least one against the Yomiuri Giants, officials familiar with the negotiations said
Tuesday on the condition they not be identified.

Williams injured, drops out of du Maurier Open
TORONTO — Serena Williams, seeded eighth in the $1.05 million du Maurier Open tennis tournament, injured her right shoulder in practice Wednesday morning and defaulted her second-round match against unseeded Slaina Tiaja of Croatia.
Because of Williams' default, her spot in the draw went to 80th-ranked Amelie Cochette of France, a qualifying-round loser. She was beaten 6-4, 1-4 by Taila.
Jennifer Capriati, still on the comeback trail after her fall from tennis grace, beat seventh-seeded Nathalie Tauziat of France 1-6, 6-4, 6-2.
Ninth-seeded Barbara Schett of Austria finished off the last Canadian in the field. Renata Kolovic, 6-3, 6-1.
Williams, who received a bye in the first round, suffered a rotator muscle strain that will keep her out of next week's tournament at New Haven, Conn. She'll be re-evaluated at the end of August and is expected to be ready for the U.S. Open beginning Aug. 30.
"This is kind of a step back for me because I planned on doing well at this tournament," said Williams, who last week won at Los Angeles, her third title this year.
"It is inflamed a little and it's like I have some tendinitis in it also." Williams said. "It hurts me to hit forehands and backhands and serves."

Johnson was major factor in All-Star success
The team met on Aug. 2 and spent Aug. 6-13 competing against six Scandinavian teams: Tapiolan, Chevakata Russia, Finland's national team, Helsinki Panthers, Norrkoping Flamingos and the Nerike Basketball Club.
The team finished the trip with a 5-1 record, with its only loss coming to the Finnish National Team.
"We thought we should have been 6-0, but we didn't play well on the night we lost," Halterman said. "We had seen them play and thought they were a lot weaker than they were. We were a little overconfident."
The team cruised to its other five victories. 88-72
over Tapiolan, 82-73 over Chevakata, 100-70 over Helsinki, 97-75 over Norrkoping and 84-54 over Nerike.
Johnson was a major contributor to the team's success, averaging 11.2 points and 4.5 rebounds per game.
Her 67 points were the team's third highest and her 27 rebounds were the fourth highest. She also contributed 12 assists.
"I was very impressed with Jaclyn on this trip." Halterman said. "She fit into the team very well. I knew she was a big, physical kid who could get the ball to the hoop, but there's a lot of finesse to her game, too. I was more impressed with her overall ability than just her strength."
The experience started Johnson thinking about playing overseas after graduation, but her style of play would not fit on every team.
"The rules are all the same, but the style of play is very different," Johnson said. "They aren't as aggressive as we are in the United States, so it took some adjustments. If I ever play overseas, I'll have to play in southern Europe. I hear they are more physical down there."
Johnson said her experience did not just teach her about basketball skills.
She also was able to dine with members of the opposing team and learn about their culture. The team spent most of its days sightseeing.

Jayhawks to battle tough Big 12

Kansas volleyball coach
Former pro player joins softball coaching staff
By Chris Wristen

Kansas writerwriter
After an up-and-down season last spring, the Kansas women's softball team looks to make improvements during the off-season with the addition of two new assistant coaches.
- Seventeen players return from last year's squad that finished 31-29 and made a late season charge before being ousted in NCAA regional play.
Julie Wright and Drew Christmon joined the coaching staff last Monday and will work side by side with Coach Tracy Bunge to guide the Jawhaws this spring.
"It's in a competitive conference being in the Big 12, and being in the Midwest," Christmons said. "I'm born and raised in
a Midwest city in Oklahoma, so it's a little closer to home.
Christmon brings a slew of experience with him, both college and professionally. After playing football and baseball for the University of Oklahoma from 1990-92, he went on to serve as a utility player for the Detroit Tigers for four years.
Following his professional career, he joined the softball staff at Cal State-Northridge as an assistant coach before coaching at a high school in California.
"I am thrilled to have Drew joining the staff and the program," Bunge said. "I am excited about the experience, both playing and coaching, that he brings to our hitters, infolders and catchers."
Christmon said he hoped to help team members improve both as players and as people.
"If I could rub off anything from myself it'd be an aggressive style of play, knowledge of the game and to be mentally prepared for anything that comes their way—adversity, positive things," Christion said. "Just to help them learn how to be a champion."
Wright joins the Kansas staff after serving as an assistant coach at the University of Ohio for the past three years. Before coaching, she played shortstop for Ohio under Bunge, then a first-year coach. After graduating in 1995 with a degree in sociology and criminology, she worked for Ohio Governor George Voinovich, and then served as a parole officer before returning to softball.
For the Jayhawks, Wright will be a recruiting coordinator, academics coordinator and will work
with outfielders and hitters.
"Jule will bring tremendous energy to the program and to the staff." Bunge said. "I look forward to working with her and I am looking forward to what she will bring to our program."
Wright and Christmon replaced Marla Looper, who took an assistant coaching job at the University of Texas, and Carla Marchetti, who took an assistant coaching job at Texas Tech.
- The softball team will hold walk-on tryouts at 4 p.m., Tuesday. Anyone interested in trying out must attend a meeting at 7 p.m. Monday at the lobby in the Wagnon Student Athlete Center. Everyone must bring proof of insurance and a copy of a recent physical.
University, track team ready for 73rd Relays
By Rebecca Barlow sportswriter @kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
Kansas officials are looking forward to the return of the Kansas Relays in 2000, but there is a lot of work to be done before the first event of the meet is held.
The Relays, which have not taken place in two years, will be affected by the two-year hiatus. About 50 colleges and 180 high school teams competed in the 72nd Relays in 1997, but Gary Schwartz, track and field coach, now has to contact these teams about coming back for the 73rd Relays April 19 through 22, 2000.
Regional schools such as Emporia State University and Kansas State University have said they would come back for the 2000 Relays. But Schwartz said he still had to work with other college teams, which already have set their schedules, to convince them to compete in the Relays. He said there should not be a problem getting high school teams to participate.
The Relays have been postponed because of the renovation of Memorial Stadium. The resurfacing of the Memorial Stadium track will make it possible for the meet to take place.
"To ensure that the Relays continues without additional interruption, we felt it was necessary to resurface the track at this time," said Bob Frederick, athletics director. "We are moving forward with plans to build a new track facility on campus in the near future, and we are now in the process of determining that timetable."
CANS & HOLAY
1999
The work on the track, which will be recovered with a surface called Rekortan, will take place Oct. 3 through 22, while the Kansas football team has
two consecutive road games.
The Relays have been run at the University since 1923.
"The Kansas Relays is a meet which represents an important part of the history and tradition for the University of Kansas and it has always been our intention to bring it back," Frederick said.
Schwartz said he also was looking forward to the return of the Relays.
"I'm excited that we will be in a position to bring back the Kansas Relays this year and continue its tradition for years to come." Schwartz said. "We plan to maintain the same format."
Besides being an exciting event for high school and college athletes, Schwartz said the Relays also meant a lot to track fans and helped in recruiting for the track team and at the University.
City Manager Mike Wilden said the event was beneficial to the community because of the visitors it brought to the area.
"Any kind of destination event like this is important to the community," he said. "It brings in outside monetary influence."

Wounded Jayhawks recovering
By Mike Miller
By Mike Miller sportswriter@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The two-a-day, fall practice schedule is a difficult time for many football teams, often bringing nagging injuries. The 1999 Jayhawks are no exception.
Thus far, the Kansas football team has had its share of aches and pains, but nothing Allen would call serious.
An injury-free August is every coach's dream, but as Terry Allen knows, dreams don't always come true.
Before last Saturday's scrimmage, most players had not had a day off since Aug. 4, making Sunday the first day off in almost two weeks.
"Seventy-eight of these guys were here all summer. They didn't get much time off, so we're a little worn out," he said.
The Jayhawks' trainers needed the break as much as the players.
During last week's heat wave, anywhere from 12 to 15 players were in the injury tent each day with a variety of ailments.
Running back Henri Childs had a calf laceration, and wide receiver Anton Paige and running back Reggie Duncan had tight hamstrings. Linebacker Marcus Rogers played through a groin pull, defensive end Jeremy Hanak tweaked a knee and tight end Jason Gulley had swelling in his knee.
But those were just the nicks and cuts.
Some of the more debilitated Jayhawks include right tackle Justin Hartwig and offensive lineman Bob Smith. Smith resumed practicing Monday after aggravating an old knee injury, and Hartwig should return to practice today after recovering from a sprained ankle.
The concussions that ended quarterback Zac Wegner's season last year have not been a problem so far, and neither Wegner nor Allen have given the concussions a second thought this year.
Allen agreed.
"I try not to think about it, so I don't really worry. I just figured this is my senior year, so I really have nothing to lose," Wegner said. Allay agreed.
"People have been up and down on Zac since he's been here," he said.
Though he was concerned about his quarter-
back's health. Allen said he doesn't want to subject Wegner to any unnecessary impacts.
"We're not going to test the waters and say 'hang your head against the wall and we'll see how you react.'"
Wide receiver Michael Chandler, who was shot in the groin last spring when three men broke into his apartment, has fully recovered from the wound. He was hospitalized for a short time, but was eager to get back on the field.
"I've tried to put that in the back of my head. Football gave me something I could do," he said.
Perhaps the Jayhawks' most devastating injury didn't even occur on the playing field. Wide receiver Byron Gasaway was doing a triceps exercise July 22 when he dropped 205 pounds of weights on his jaw. He fractured the jaw in three places and it was wired shut.
"The toughest thing was getting used to talking and eating." he said.
"If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, it doesn't." he said
Unable to open his jaw, Gasaway could not speak above a whisper, but remains hopeful about a return this season.
"If there was a position we could to afford to lose anybody at, it was at wide receiver," he said.
Gasaway has not been designated as a redshirt player this season, but could be eligible for a medical redshirt.

Top five sports movies get film buff's thumbs up
But working at Blockbuster this summer enabled me to watch countless movies and think about one of the best things about the movie industry — sports movies.
Why are sports movies so appealing to people? Because we can see a little bit of ourselves in every athlete portrayed in these movies. We've all been the underdog that has overcome the odds. We have all been the favorite who has come up a bit short. And we all have that dream of coming through at the key moments in life. What little boy out there has not
pretended to be Roy Hobbs? And who hasn't wished that they had the work ethic of Rudy?
CARLTON DAVIS
Brad Hallier columnist ipoints at kansan.com
Every single one of us has a sports movie that we know by heart. What male out there doesn't know every line of Major League or Caddyshack? We all know what
But there are some sports movies that rise above them all. I cringe when I hear a buddy say, "Oh man, Kingpin is the greatest sports movie ever!"
movie the line, "Yo, Adrian," came from. And while not as many people have seen Charlots of Fire, most can hum the infamous Vangelis opening score.
Uh. no.
There are five sports movies that rise above them all. And with all due respect for Major League, Slap Shot,
Bull Durham, Rudy and Happy Gilmore (okay maybe not Happy Gilmore), here they are:
5. The Natural. The wonderful tale of never letting a dream die was portrayed to perfection by Robert Redford as Roy Hobbs. As a hotshot prospect for the Chicago Cubs, Hobbs' life takes an unexpected
detour from baseball. The detour lasts 16 years, and Hobbs then attempts to take the fictitious New York Knights to the pennant. The ending scene and music still brings me chills.
4. Chariots of Fire. With one of the most popular musical scores in the history of movies, this movie is based on the true story of Great Britain's 1924 Olympic track team.
3. Field of Dreams. "If you build it, he will come." The awesome story of believing in the unbelievable and baseball as America's game. Ray Kinsella, played to perfection by Kevin Costner, hears the mysterious voice telling him extremely vague commands. But Kinsella doesn't listen to anyone but the voice, goes with his instincts, and his apparent disgust for his dad leads to the ending of the only sports movie that can still bring tears to my eyes.
2. Hoosiers. By far and away, the most powerful basketball movie ever. Gene Hackman turns in a flawless and powerful performance as Norman Dale, a college basketball coach with a dark history. He is given redemption at a small Indiana high school, where he goes from goat to hero in the town of Hickory, Ind. Based loosely on a true story, this movie is shown by several coaches of various athletic teams for inspiration.
1. Rocky. Does this shock anyone? It shouldn't. Ignore Rocky V. The original is by far and away the champion of sports movies. "The Italian Stallion," played by Sylvester Stallone, is a small-time club fighter and palaooka. The heavyweight champ, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), obviously based on Muhammad Ali, looks for the ultimate underdog for a shot at his belt. Rocky is given the shot, and he prepares for the fight like he has never prepared before. Everyone knows the popular Bill Conti music, and the "Gonna Fly Now" song. But the real reason this movie is the best? In the end, Rocky wins something more important than the belt. Like the movie, the 1976 Best Picture, Rocky wins respect.

Soccer team does double duty

Two-a-day practices help members bond
Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Going to class never sounded so good. The Kansas women's soccer team wrapped up two-a-day practices yesterday after a week of battling high temperatures.
Practice was held, regardless of the temperature.
"They're not fun," said sophomore midfielder Allie Heyworth. "I'm very excited for school to start because then they're over, but it's gotta be done."
"Obviously the afternoon sessions are a lot tougher because of the heat, but they've been doing a good job," Coach Mark Francis said. "They haven't been complaining about it. They've just been getting on with the job at hand so you can't really fault them on their effort."
The team's effort is something that has pleased Francis immensely.
"Their work ethic has been really good," Francis said. "Two-a-day's are hard, especially when it's this hot, but they've been buckling down and doing a good job."
The practices also have been time consuming for the players.
"I eat, sleep, play soccer. That's about it," junior defender Kylie Watts said.
The extra practices haven't bothered Watts though, and she's been pleased with how they've been going.
Morning practices have consisted mostly of defensive work, and offensive drills have been saved for afternoon sessions. Those morning practices have helped the team's defense improve immensely, said Francis.
"The defenders in the back have been doing a good job when we've worked with them as far as defending in the defensive third of the field," Francis said.
Heyworth agreed.
"Our defense is awesome," Heyworth said. "We've been concentrating a lot on our defense. We just have the most solid defense in the Big 12 I think."
The only strike against the defense may
be the loss of junior Ashley Gorham, who broke her kneecap while playing for her club team during the summer.
"She's out for a while," Francis said. "We're hoping she's going to be able to come back, but we'll just have to wait and see."
While the defense looks solid, Francis would like to see offensive improvements.
"We need to improve our ability to keep possession of the ball," Francis said. "Our play in the attacking third of the field needs to be better."
Although time consuming and hot, the two-a-day's have helped pull the team closer together.
"We're a little more comfortable with
each other," Watts said. "We're getting to know how each other plays more. We're getting more touches on the ball and getting back into the flow of things."
Francis also believes the extra practices have been good for his players.
"The team as a group is bonding together," Francis said. "When you work hard together as a group, doing anything brings you a little bit closer together, so that's been good."
He is also pleased with the way his players support one another on the field.
"They've really been encouraging each other which is good to see because that stuff is going to make a difference in the end."

Sports clubs offer students year-round competition
By Scott Kirsch sports@kanson.com Kansas sportwriter
From badminton to ultimate frisbee, the Sport Club Program at the University of Kansas has something to offer nearly everyone.
Unlike the intramural sports also organized by Recreation Services, Sport Club activities go year-round and are geared toward students more dedicated to a particular sport. They also can be competitive, recreational or instructional in nature, depending on the interests of the participants.
Because the clubs are year-round, the financial needs are much greater than the intramural program. Rick Rosenstengle, associate director of Recreation Services, said that Student Senate tried to help out as much as possible, but their resources were somewhat limited.
"The financial help a club receives is based on a tier system." Rosenstengle said. "It depends on how many members a club has, what each member has to pay, and how much money the club can generate."
Also, unlike intermurals, sport clubs may represent the University in intercollegiate competition and perform club activities, such as practice.
Coach Carl Eaton said he is excited about this year's team, although it lost four seniors from last year's suaul.
One example of a successful club has been the soccer club. Last year the team was a national quarterfinalist. Midwest Regional Champion and it won the Ed Chartrand Memorial Tournament, while posting a 17-3-2 record.
Eaton said he has generally been pleased with the progress of the sports club, but like any good coach, he wants more.
"We would still like to see a Big 12 (Conference) tourney take place in the near future," he said. "It would be fun for all the teams to get together and compete some weekend. Obviously we also would like to see the University get a Division-I program going.
"Iowa State and some of the Texas schools have particularly good teams, but there are still no Division-I soccer
"Iowa State and some of the Texas schools have particularly good teams, but there are still no Division-I soccer men teams in the Big 12."
Carl Eaton Soccer club coach
men teams in the Big 12."
And even though the soccer club has seen its share of success, the lack of a Division-I status has hurt the team in some competition, especially when it battled Brigham Young University last year.
"BYU, although they are the exception, is sponsored by Nike. All their players have been offered Division-I scholarships, and their classes are scheduled around soccer." Eaton said.
They defeated the Jayhawks 3-0.
Kansas practices three times a week, but practices must be scheduled around their classes, not the other way around. Although the club receives $6,500 a year from Student Senate, it is still left scrambling for extra revenue.
Eric Gray, Overland Park senior, has played on the soccer club for four years, but this year his role has changed, since he has taken on the role of president. His duties include getting uniforms, scheduling and financing.
"We still have to go out and get donations, advertising and all that stuff to pay for uniforms and travel expenses," Gray said.
However, Gray said it was all worth it.
However, Gray said it was all worth it. The soccer club began tryouts Aug. 17, and its main season goes through November, but it probably will have a few games in the spring as well.
The club is planning to return to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., in the spring, where it played last April after a Kansas City Wizards game. The club members also hope to qualify for the national tournament.
If interested in a sports club, call 864- 3546, or stop by the Office of Recreation Services.

New women's golf coach confident she can improve team's performance
By Brad Hallier sports@kansan.com Kansan associate sports editor
Nicole Hollingsworth has waited more than two months for this.
Today, the Kansas women's golf team will begin practice with Hollingsworth as its new coach. She took over the program on June 15 after former coach Jerry Waugh retired following a long career in Kansas athletics. He was a varsity basketball player, assistant basketball coach, assistant athletics director and golf coach.
"Nicole comes to us highly recommended as an individual who is a tireless worker and tremendously organized in her duties as a head coach," said Bob Frederick, athletics director. "She places an emphasis on achievement in both the classroom and competition. We think she will be a great addition to our staff and help our women's golf program move forward."
Hollingsworth came to Kansas after spending three seasons at the helm at the University of Ohio, a member of the Mid-American Conference.
Even though Hollingsworth will be coaching a team that finished 11th at the Big 12 Conference tournament in April, she is confident that she can turn the program in the right direction.
"I am a disciplinarian who strives to do well, and I feel I can take this team to the next level," she said. "This is not an easy conference, but with the personnel that we do have, I feel we have a shot
The Jayhawks only lost one player, Mandy Munsch, who graduated in May. The top returnees include seniors Susan Tessary and Carrie Padden and junior Ashley Bishop.
to do well."
"This is a big-time step for me," she said. "I'm really excited to be here and am looking forward to getting at it."
Hollingsworth certainly has the credentials to turn the women's golf program around. She is a
certified LGA Teaching Golf Professional. At Ohio, she was the first women's golf coach when women's golf became a varsity sport in 1996. With Hollingsworth at the helm, the Bobcats' yearly combined stroke average dropped by more than 15 strokes since the program's debut.
KO golf
Her golfers also succeeded in the classroom. During the winter quarter last season, Ohio's team grade point average was 3.44.
Hollingsworth also played golf for four years at Indiana University from 1992 through 1995. The 1995 Hoosiers won the Big 10 Conference championship and finished fifth nationally.
She is a member of the National Golf Coaches Association, National Women's Coaches Association and the U.S. Golf Association.

Amateur favorites slip at Beach
Top players miss cut at U.S. championship
The Associated Press
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif.—The Monterey Peninsula has a knack for humbling even the greatest golfers. It claimed a couple of new victims at the U.S. Amateur Championship.
Matt Kuchar, the 1997 Amateur champion, and 1998 runner-up Tom McKnight were ousted Tuesday after the second round of stroke play. Sixty-four other golfers made the cut, advancing to yesterday's start of match play.
McKnight were among the favorites heading into the event.
The upsets certainly were not as dramatic as Bobby Jones losing in the first round of match play when the Amateur was held at Pebble Beach in 1929, but Kuchar and
Kuchar shot a 10-over 81 Tuesday on the Pebble Beach course, giving him a two-day total of 154 and missing the cut by two strokes. After finishing his round, he stood on the 18th green with his back to the Pacific Ocean and sighed.
"I was more unlucky than bad today," he said. "All the breaks that could go wrong went wrong. The lack of knowledge of the course really hurt. Each time I made a little bit of a mistake, it multiplied itself and became a big mistake. I kept being in places you couldn't be."
Kuchar, one of the rising stars in golf, was among the leaders after shooting a 73 Monday on the Spyglass Hill course in the first round of stroke play. After that round, he said he enjoyed amateur golf so
much he might never turn pro.
"It's disappointing," he said. "This is a tournament I really wanted to reprove myself."
McKnight shot a 10-over 82 on Spyglass Tuesday and missed the cut.
"It was pretty embarrassing, the shots I hit," said McKnight, a petroleum distributor from Galax, Va. "I just played terrible."
Todd Miller had a much better day, though he lost his caddie while advancing to the match play that ends, after six rounds, on Sunday.
Miller, 19, was accompanied around the course by a man who's quite familiar with the Monterey Peninsula—his father, Johnny Miller, who twice won the AT&T Pro-Am tournament held each year at Pebble Beach.
His two-round total of 147 easily qualified him for match play. The cut was at 9-over 152.
Tiger cheers Garcia's attention
The Associated Press
CASTLE ROCK, Colo. - A mere 22 years of age and in only his third full season on the PGA Tour, Tiger Woods already is having to fend off challenges from the younger set.
"It was bound to happen," Woods said yesterday with a laugh and without a trace of wistfulness. "You can't be the young guy on the block forever. I welcome that."
Woods staged a riveting duel with 19-year-old Sergio Garcia in the final round of the PGA Championship on Sunday, edging the swashbuckling Spanish by a stroke. The two young guns will hook up again this week in the Sprint International, which begins Thursday at Castle Pines Golf Club.
The event features eight of the world's top 10 players, including No. 1 Woods, No. 2 David Duval and No. 3 Davis Love III.
Also contending are fifth-ranked Lee Westwood; No. 6 Vijay Singh, the defending champion; No. 8
Ernie Els; No. 9 Mark O'Meara and No. 10 Nick Price

berth on the 1999 European Ryder Cup team and galvanized the sport like no one since, well, Woods.
"I don't know if it was the largest crowd I have played in front of," Garcia said, "but it was one of the best. A crowd has never pushed me and helped me as much as they did."
Woods, asked if Garcia's sudden popularity will relieve some of the pressure that has been on him since 1996, said, "No doubt about it. Now, he is getting the galleries and the attention, the media coverage. When I first came out, it was very tough to focus on golf and budget your time with all the demands on it. David (Duval) went through the same thing. Now Sergio is starting to find that out."
It was an extension of the gallery support he received on Sunday at Medinah, when the crowd became more pro-Garcia than pro-Woods.
Garcia's shot from the base of a tree on the 16th hole on Sunday — and his dash up the fairway and leap to see the ball reach the green — will be a highlight of the 1999 season.

"Serious Drinks for Drinking Seriously"
Player's brother answers request for kidney donor
The Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — A brother of Spurs forward Sean Elliott said yesterday he had no hesitation about donating a kidney for Elliott's transplant and urged others to become organ donors.
"It's something that I would have done for either one of my brothers. Fortunately for Sean and myself, I was a good match," said Noel Elliott, 32. His kidney was removed in surgery Monday then immediately used in his brother's transplant.
Sean Elliott, 31, a 10-year NBA veteran who helped lead San Antonio to its first NBA championship in June, continues to recuperate at Methodist Specialty and Transplant Hospital.
His blood pressure is good, he is becoming more active and he has been taken off of intravenous fluids, said transplant surgeon Dr. Francis Wright. Elliott is expected to be hospitalized about a week. His brother could be released later this week.
"Basically, it continues to be good news all-around for both of them," Wright said.
Sean Elliott needed the transplant because of a disease called focal segmental glomerular sclerosis that prevents his kidneys from properly filtering waste from the blood. It is not known what causes the illness.
Elliott has not spoken publicly since the surgery. Through spokesman Armando Rios, Elliott issued a statement Wednesday calling Noel's kidney a gift of love and life and thanking well-wishers for their support.
"I know there will be difficult days ahead. Knowing that I have your continued prayers and support, I'm sure it will go well," he said.
Elliott has indicated he wants to return to the NBA after the transplant. Doctors have said it could be two or three months before they know the feasibility of his making a return to the Spurs.
His mother, Odiamea Elliott of Tuscon, Ariz, also thanked the public for prayers, phone calls and messages.
"This is just a step for Sean," she said. "It's his first step toward recovery. Noel will be well. Sean has a lifelong journey to make, and if you would continue your support and prayer, that would be helpful to us."
Ms. Elliott said she was glad both of Sean's brothers offered to provide a kidney. Noel was determined to be an appropriate match.
"This is actually every mother's dream and every mother's nightmare, because you want your children to love enough to be willing to do that," she said.
"But then by the same token, I had my two sons in the operating room at one time. I think fathers could even understand this. It was scary. It was scary," she said.
Noel Elliott, a sales associate for Wal-Mart in Arizona, joked that the kidney donation had made him an instant celebrity.
One of the worst parts of the ordeal was the blood testing done before the surgery to determine donor eligibility, he said.
"They draw a lot of blood. But you just do what you have to do," Noel Elliott said, adding with a laugh that he told Sean, "I was going to have to have tickets to the Spurs games — and a book deal."
Noel Elliott urged others to become organ donors.
"I do want to encourage anyone that's on the line, on the edge of being a donor or not, to seriously consider donating an organ or bone marrow," he said.
Noel Elliot said that he and Sean had seen each other several times since the transplant, slowly creeping back and forth from room to room.
"The exchanges are just, I would call them, normal brotherly love kind of exchanges. He's thanked me repeatedly. I think we just feel just a deep commitment to each other," he said.
Despite no-hitter, Jimenez in minors
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS - The only National League pitcher to throw a no-hitter this season is headed for the minor leagues.
The St. Louis Cardinals optioned right-hander Jose Jimenez to Triple-A Memphis Tuesday and recalled right-handed reliever Rick Heisman. Heisman pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings in the Cardinals' 6-5 win against Philadelphia.
Jimenez beat Randy Johnson and the Diamondbacks 1-0 with his nohitter on June 25 at Phoenix. A lit
tie more than a week later, Jimenez and the Cardinals again shut Johnson and the Diamond hacks at home.
But otherwise, Jimenez has struggled. After going 3-0 in a September call-up last season, Jimenez is 5-12 with a 5.81 ERA in 1999. In his start last Sunday, Jimenez
lasted just two innings against the Chicago Cubs, giving up five earned runs and five hits — including two Sammy Sosa home- runs.

Browns premiere practice in Cleveland draws 25,000
The Associated Press
The Cleveland Browns and some of their fans got their first chance to see the new home of the NFL's newest team.
As workers continued putting finishing touches on the $283 million, 79,000 seat.
Cleveland Browns Stadium on Tuesday, the team took the field for an afternoon practice after working out in the morning at its training facility in Berea. Ohio.
here for a practice. The turf is great, and I can't wait until we can get started for real."
"It's beautiful," linebacker Chris Spielman said. "I can't believe there's this many people here for a practice. The turf is great, can't wait until we can get."
n t b
A crowd estimated at 25,000 watched the team run through its drills for two hours. They roared as the defense jogged toward the famed "Dawg Pound," Cleveland's rabid bleacher section of 10,000 that was replicated and remodeled in the new stadium.
The team used the day, dubbed "Stadium Sneak Preview," as a dry run for Saturday's exhibition game against Minnesota, the first NFL game in Cleveland since Dec. 17, 1985, just before owner Art Modell took his team to Baltimore.
Season-ticket holders were invited to the event to check out their new seats. Concession stands served hot dogs, burgers and
beers. Videos were shown on the stadium's two giant scoreboards, and a high school marching band provided prepractice entertainment as if it was a football Sunday.
"I think it's gorgeous," Browns coach

Titans Defensive end Kenny Holmes will be out at least 10 days after undergoing arthroscopic surgery to
repair a flap of cartilage in his left knee. Holmes played in Tennessee's 22-20 exhibition loss to Kansas City on Sunday after missing a few practices with the sore knee. The knee stiffened up Monday, and Coach Jeff Fisher said they decided to fix the problem now rather than wait.

Hebron was the backup to NFL MVP Terrell Davis last season. He had only 58 carries for 253 yards the past two seasons.
Packers
Tight end Mark Chmura will miss the next two weeks while resting a bulging disc in his neck, but Coach Ray Rhodes cautioned against reading too much into the Pro Bowl selection's condition.
"We're just going to let that cool down," Rhodes said. "We'll reassess it when the time's right. It's too early to worry about."
Chmura has been treated with traction, ultrasound and massage. He has experienced periodic numbness in his upper body after contact drills.

Chmura watched practice from the sidelines Tuesday and will continue to do so. Both he and Rhodes expect him to be ready for the Sept. 12 season opener against Oakland.
Lions
Rookie defensive end Jared DeVries, who injured his foot early in camp, is expected to be fitted for a cast. It is not known when he will return.
"We're going to put a cast on him for a full week and see what happens," Coach Bobby Ross said. "If (it doesn't get better), we'll have another step to take. I don't know what that step will be. We'll have to walt and see."

"I'm getting itchy now," said Brown, who no longer has pain. "It's getting close. I'm like a caged dog who hasn't eaten in a year. I want to eat."
The condition of offensive lineman Ernest Dye was upgraded to serious from critical after extensive surgery to repair his right arm produced a pulse.
Dye, defensive end Carl Simpson and offensive guard Lester Holmes were injured Monday when their car overturned as they were driving to a team meeting.
Cardinals
"Ernest's situation is day to day, then week to week," said Dr. Jerry M罗, one of the surgeons who operated on Dye for more than eight hours Monday.
It isn't known how long Dye will have to remain in the hospital.

Simpson was checked for pain in his hip and released. Holmes received a severe cut to the forehead and was released from the hospital on Tuesday.
Philadelphia waived place-kicker Chris Boniol and signed Norm Johnson to a two-

Starting tight end Christian Fauria will be sidelined for up to three weeks because of torn cartilage in his right knee, Coach Mike Holmgren said. Fauria, who hurt the knee in Saturday exhibition loss to Buffalo, underwent arthroscopic surgery yesterday. Itula Mili will start in Fauria's absence, with Deems May backing him up.
Star Jamaican sprinter in drug scandal
The Associated Press
SEVILLE, Spain — On the eve of the World Championships, track and field got the last thing it needed — another drug scandal.
Already reeling from a series of high-profile doping cases, the sport took a massive blow yesterday with the news that one of its most prolific stars, spinner Merlene Ottey, had tested positive for a banned steroid.
The 39-year-old Jamaican pulled out of the championships, which open Saturday, after learning that traces of Nandrolone were found in her urine sample at a meet in Lucerne, Switzerland, on July 5.
Nandrolone, a performanceenhancer has produced a recent rash of positive tests in track and field and other sports.
Experts said this could be the result of more sensitive testing procedures or a sign that Nandrolone is being ingested unwittingly in other products or food supplements.
Otley, who has won more World Championship medals (14) than any other male or female athlete, said she was the victim of a terrible mistake and would fight to prove her innocence. She offered to undergo another test.
"To write this statement has been the most difficult and emotionally draining experience of my life," Ottey said in announcing her withdrawal. "I have lived my personal and athletic life with the utmost honesty and integrity.
"I have applied only the highest ethical standards to myself and expect the same from others. I have
always proclaimed fairness in sports and adamantly oppose the use of banned substances."
The International Amateur Athletic Federation, the sport's world governing body, confirmed that Ottey's "A" sample turned up positive for Nandrolone. The backup "B" sample is due to be analyzed in the next few days at the International Olympic Committee-accredited laboratory in Lausanne, Switzerland.
If the "B" sample is also positive, Ottey faces a possible two-year ban that would effectively end her career and erase her hopes of competing in her sixth Olympics next year in Sydney.
Otley's agent, Daniel Zimmerman, said the spinner was adamant that the test result was wrong.
Since 1979, Ottey has been tested
approximately 100 times and all results were negative, her management company FKG said. The most recent tests at Ljubljana, May 12, and in Stockholm, July 30, also have shown negative results, the group said.
JIAF and Jamaican track officials said they were upset the news of the positive test had leaked out before the "B" sample test. Under confidentiality rules, an athlete is not supposed to be identified until both samples have been analyzed.
Otley has won 34 medals in major championships, including three golds at the worlds. She has won seven Olympic medals — five bronzes and two silvers.
Known for her glamour and grace as well as her speed, Ottey has been a dominant figure in the sport for two decades.
St. Louis Cardinal apologizes as feud with Phillies grows
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — Ricky Bottallico moved quickly to resolve the latest twist in the budding feet between the St. Louis Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies.
Bottalico, the Cardinals' closer, went to the Phillies clubhouse prior to the Cardinals' 6-5 win Tuesday and apologized to Philies manager Terry Francona for cursing at him a day earlier.
Bottalico, traded from Philadelphia to St. Louis in November, escaped a ninth-inning jam and got his 18th save Monday in the Cardinals' 4-3 win. As the game ended, he turned toward the visiting dugout and cursed loudly at Francaona.
Bottalico would not talk about the conversation.
The incident is the latest in a developing rivalry between the two teams. It began last summer when the Cardinals signed J.D. Drew — the Phillies' No.1 draft pick from a year earlier — to a $7 million, four-year contract.
Bottalico was upset when he was traded along with starter Garrett Stephenson to St. Louis for outfielder Ron Gant, reliever Jeff Brantley and pitcher Cliff Polite.
After the trade, Gant and La Russa exchanged words.
Stephenson left the Phillies on bad terms, exchanging public insults in the newspapers and public a grievance against the team that claimed he was sent to the minors while he was hurt. The grievance was settled, with Stephenson receiving service time but no money.

Missouri loses Dausman for season
The Associated Press
LEXINGTON, Mo. — The Missouri Tigers aren't even halfway through their preseason practice schedule yet, and already they are taking hits as if they were facing Nebraska without wearing pads.
The latest blow to Missouri coach Larry Smith's program came Tuesday, when he announced that junior wide receiver John Dausman had a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. He will miss the entire season. Dausman suffered the injury during a non-contact drill on Monday.
"You never replace guys like John," Smith said. "We go from three veteran receivers to two, and it means that (somebody has) to fill the void."
Last season, it was Dausman, 6-feet
1 and 182 pounds, who filled the void for the Tigers, who entered the year with just one proven starter at wide
receiver. A walk-on transfer from Northwest Missouri State, Dausman started five games for Missouri, catching 18 passes for 364 yards and three touchdowns. Against Kansas State in the final game of the regular season, Dausman caught six balls for 169 yards.

At least Dausman will be back, although not until next year. But 15 other Tigers who were expected to be on the fall roster are not with the team. Six players have left in the past
week, including starting offensive lineman Jeff Hellerstedt.
"I can't explain it," Smith said. "I see that as a trend. More and more athletes aren't quite able to handle the pressure or handle the (demands) of academics and school. Maybe they're burned out. I don't know."
If you include the injured Dausman and fullback Rob West, who has a hairline fracture in his left foot, that's a loss of 17 Tigers. West had a screw inserted into his foot on Tuesday and will be back in two to four weeks.
The Tigers still have three days of two-a-day practice at Camp Wentworth in Lexington, Mo., left before returning to Columbia. Missouri opens its season at home Sept. 4 against University of Alabama-Birmingham.
K-State player takes hit, gives thanks for recovery
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN, Kan. — When Jarrod Cooper opens his mouth around journalists, the notebooks come out and the tape rolls. Nobody's sure what he'll say next, only that it will probably be entertaining.
Kansas State University's annual media day was no exception, as the Wildcats' junior strong safety regaled one crowd of reporters after another with a story of how he beat running back Frank Murphy in a video-game bet and got him to dye his hair sunflower-yellow.
Typical Cooper — but that he even felt like talking about anything Saturday was the real story. Cooper, who carries a well-deserved reputation as a hard hitter, had taken the hardest hit of his life a little more than two weeks before.
On July 31, while Cooper was standing at a pay telephone outside a Manhattan convenience store, a car jumped the curb and pinned him against a brick wall. Police arrested the driver on suspicion of drunken driving.
"We went to the gas station to get a bag of chips," Cooper said. "I had a whole handful of quarters. I went to make a phone call, and the next thing you know all of my quarters fell on the ground."
Cooper didn't even see the car coming.
"I didn't see anything," he said. "My team
mate Turelle Williams told me to watch out at the last minute. I turned around, and it was right there."
The impact caused severe bruising, pulled muscles and cuts, Cooper said, but no broken bones.
"He was back the next day," said free safety Lamar Chapman. "That couldn't happen to anybody but Cooper. Anybody else might just have laid there, maybe even retired, but not Coop."
The accident left him with a good deal of lingering soreness, Cooper said, and he was unable to run until Saturday.
"I just thank God I can walk," said Cooper, who recorded 86 tackles — 56 unassisted last season for a team that ranked third nationally in total defense at 268.3 yards per game.
"I got hit extremely hard," he said. "I got smashed on a brick wall. Every time I think, 'OK, am I going to be able to start the season?' I just thank God I can walk. It's a miracle that I'm able to stand here talking to you guys."
The incident was not the Wildcats' only recent brush with a life-threatening situation. Last week, defensive coordinator Phil Bennett's wife, Nancy, was hit by lightning during a morning jog. She remained in critical condition yesterday at the intensive care unit in a Manhattan hospital.
The Associated Press
PHOENIX — Since last January, when they won their first playoff game in more than half a century, very little has gone right for the Arizona Cardinals.
First came the usual injuries and contract disputes.
But the latest blow is the worst— an auto accident that injured starters Lester Holmes and Carl Simpson
and left doctors trying save the right arm of backup offensive lineman Ernest Dye.
This was supposed to be a season of great expectations.

Hussein's son tortures team, newspaper says
The Associated Press
LONDON—A former Iraqi soccer star said that he and other players were tortured when they played badly, by order of President Saddam Hussein's son, The Sunday Times reported.
The claims by former Olympic competitor Sharar Haydar Mohamad al Hadithi support repeated allegations by Iraqi dissidents that Hussein's son, Odal, ordered players to be imprisoned and tortured and to have their hair and mustaches shaved off after losing matches.
In 1997, FIFA, the game's international governing body, investigated reports that Odai had the Iraqi team whipped with canes after it was eliminated from the World Cup qualifying competition. FIFA cleared Iraq's football federation of the charges.
Odal, 35, runs the Iraqi football federation and the country's Olympic committee, in addition to owning Iraq's most influential newspaper as well as radio and television stations.
He is also head of the paramilitary Saddam Fedayeen commando units. Odal killed his father's bodyguard during a 1988 banquet for Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak's wife, after a fight. And in 1996, he was seriously injured in an assassination attempt by Saddam's opponents.
The Sunday Times article was based on interviews with al Hadithi and Abbas Janabi, Odal's former private secretary and press spokesman for 15 years, both of whom have left Iraq.
The article said that after Iraq lost an exhibition match against Jordan in 1993, al Haditih was taken to Al Radwaniya prison with three other players and mistreated for three days before being released.
When al Hadithi tried to resign in 1994, the article said, he again was taken to the prison, 30 miles from Baghdad, and was repeatedly hit on the soles of his feet, dragged on his bare back through a gravel pit and then forced to jump into a tank of sewage so the wounds would become infected.
After his release, he was banned from soccer for life and told that he might be killed if he was seen so much as kicking a ball in the street, the newspaper said. Al Hadithi now lives in hiding abroad.
Janabi corroborated the allegations of torture and said he and more than 20 officials from the Iraqi Olympic committee witnessed the team being forced to kick a concrete ball around a field at the prison after they failed in a World Cup qualifying round in Qatar in 1993.
Odal believed aggressiveness against sportsmen made them try harder, Janabi told the newspaper.
"He thought they would be so frightened by the punishments that they would be encouraged to give a better performance," Janabi was quoted as saying. "He became senseless and cruel until he arrived at a stage when he sent players to prison, not only incarcerating them but putting them through a course of torture which was almost unbearable."

Evolution decision troubles KU faculty
By Clay McCuistion writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas faculty and students are bracing themselves for potential effects of the State Board of Education's decision not to require the teaching of evolution in Kansas public schools.
The board voted 6-4 for new science standards Aug. 11. The vote may make it harder for Kansas to attract qualified science instructors and top-ranked students, said Sally Frost Mason, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
"People are going to think twice before they come to the state of Kansas," said Frost Mason, also a professor of biochemistry. "It creates a PR nightmare for us."
She said that problems would arise in teaching in-state students educated under the new science standards.
"It's going to make our job even more difficult when they come to KU because they won't have the background." Frost Mason said.
The University has a distinguished department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and Natural History Museum, she said. Students regularly move on to study at universities such as Harvard and Johns Hopkins.
But now the University's reputation may suffer.
"The damage is that people look at us as a comedy," Frost Mason said. "It's funny, but embarrassing."
Frost Mason, who was raised on the East Coast, came to Kansas 20 years ago to work at the University.
"For the first time in 20 years, I've questioned whether I made the right decision," she said.
Thomas Taylor, chairman of the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department, also is concerned with the ramifications of the board's vote.
"It's deplorable," Taylor said. "It's going to have an impact if it's allowed

City seeks helping hands
Student volunteer project to merge campus with community

But before the celebration ends, students can venture off campus to help the Lawrence community.
The Office of New Student Orientation and the Center for Community Outreach are sponsoring a campus-wide community service project from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. tomorrow.
Students will meet at 9 a.m. at the lobby in the Kansas Union, where they can choose their day's project from 17 different service options.
"There will be anything from a habitat house for Habitat for Humanity to the humane society, to three different nursing homes," said E.J. Reedy, co-director for the center. Reedy said other opportunities included the Salvation Army; Big Brothers Big Sisters; Edgewood Homes, a low-income housing development in town; and a clean-up with homeless members of community.
"We could easily cover up to 200 people and if we had 500 people show up, we could probably handle that, too," Reedy said. "It's really to get out and experiment. It's for people who don't want to make big time commitments but they may want to know what it's like to be a big brother or work in a nursing home. It gives them the freedom to see what's out there."
Mary Ryan, director of New Student Orientation, said that the project had been a part of Hawk Week for three years, but that she expected this year to attract the largest turnout.
"It started about 3 years ago, but I don't think it's been to quite this level," she said. "The Center for Community Outreach has taken a lot of initiative to really increase the sites. We also promoted CCO through orientation."
Ryan commended the event as beneficial for both the University of Kansas and Lawrence communities.
“It’s nice for the college students to be exposed to a lot of youth in the community, and I think it’s nice to build bridges between the University and the community,” she said. “Part of that is taking this great energy and value from those college students and giving back to the community.”
While Hawk Week events traditionally are geared toward new students, Ryan said the community service program was open to everyone.
"Part of this week is a lot about getting to know people and the University," she said. "Certainly a lot of

new students come here knowing a lot of people, some may know a lot but they want to meet new people and some may not know anyone at all. It's a huge transition, and I think that the opportunity for service is a very comfortable way to get to know one another.

CORRECTION
In the story about the closing of the Learned Club in Monday's Kansan, the newspaper incorrectly stated that the club would be closed to all Alumni Association and University of Kansas related events. The club will remain open for all Alumni Association and University events, but the food will be provided by an outside caterer. The Kansan regrets the error.

Lack of class rosters was 'crisis of the day'
Faculty and staff began the fall semester by learning new students' names and faces but without class rosters to help.
Bob Turvey, associate director of the Office of the University Registrar, said more than 10,000 class rosters should have been printed Wednesday, but his office failed to make them a priority to the printer. Because it takes about 12 hours to print all of them, the rosters could not have been rushed to make up for the delay, he said.
The rosters were printed yesterday, and Turvey said he hoped they would be delivered to faculty today.
"The first day of classes generates a lot of problems," he said. "This was certainly one of them."
Scott Harris, assistant professor of communication studies, said that not having the rosters was an annoyance.
"It's my crisis of the day." Harris said. "There was no way to find out if people in the class actually enrolled."
Turvey said the registrar's office would begin printing rosters two days before classes started, instead of one, to avoid problems in the future.
"Teachers deserve and want some idea of who's in their class," Turvey said.

New director of unions wants more interaction
"In our society, people are not coming together," he said. "One of the true college experience, besides learning, is meeting new people with new ideas."
David Mucci, new director of the Kansas and Burge Unions, said he would strive to bring more student interaction and unique activities to the Unions by combining fun with learning.
Mucci previously had been the director of the University of Idaho Student Unions for six years.
Murci will be on the building committee and will provide help managing the renovations at the Kansas Union this fall. Included in the additions is an expansion of office space for student organizations.
"We want the Union to look, feel and be more lively," he said. "We are going to find programs so unique that they
will draw people to the building."
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, said the committee chose Mucci because of his experiences in student activities and his creativity with the challenges of the Union.
Mucci said he was drawn to the campus because of its beauty, outstanding student body and great staff.
"He was a unanimous choice of the committee and staff," he said. "We believe he will be a worthy successor of the tremendous leadership of James Long.
Long will become the assistant provost for facilities planning and management in January after 16 years as director of the unions.

Bush says he hasn't used illegal drugs in last 7 years
AUSTIN, Texas—George W. Bush says he hasn't used illegal drugs within the last seven years, while insisting that such personal issues have no place in the 2000 presidential race.
He snapped at reporters asking about possible illegal drug use Wednesday, saying he would refuse to play that game. But he answered a hypothetical question The Dallas Morning News out to him later in the day.
The newspaper questioned him about the requirement that federal employees answer questions about drug use to get high-level security clearances.
"As I understand it, the current form asks the question, 'Did somebody use drugs within the last seven years?' and I will be glad to answer that question, and the answer is "No," "The News, in a story for yesterday's editions, quoted Bush as saying in New Orleans.
That was a departure from the response he gave during a news conference in which he said rumors about his personal life were ridiculous and absurd, possibly planted by political opponents.
WASHINGTON—Republican lawmakers and the White House may seem far apart on a fiscal 2000 budget, but President Clinton offered an optimistic assessment of the situation yesterday.
"We'll get this worked out." he said.
"We get this worked out," he said. Sitting at an education event, Clinton again asked if he would cut plan. But he made it clear that he didn't, "consider that a major problem."
"Yes, I'll veto the tax plan," he said.
"But let's not stop with the negative."
The GOP has passed only two of 13 appropriations bills it must send to Clinton before fiscal 1999 ends in September. White House officials have declined to say whether Clinton would sign a continuing resolution while negotiators work out details, fueling speculation that the country could face another federal government shutdown. GOP officials are eager to avoid a repeat of the politically punishing 1995 shutdown.
Asked after the event whether a deal was possible, he seemed even more upbeat: "We'll get this worked out."
The president's speech at the education event highlighted a report that found schools will continue to handle an increasing number of students in coming years.
CDC study: Hepatitis C is most common blood virus.
ATLANTA—At least 2.7 million Americans carry the hepatitis C virus, making it the most common blood-borne infection in the United States, according to a study in yesterday's New England Journal of Medicine.
The study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta represents the first look at the prevalence of hepatitis C in the United States.
Scientists discovered the virus in 1989.
People who inject illegal drugs or engage in unprotected sex account for most people who carry hepatitis C, but people who had blood transfusions before mid-1992 also are at risk.
The disease and alcohol abuse rank as the leading causes of liver disease. The infection results in about 1,000 liver transplantals annually in the United States.

Broken buildings, lives after Turkey quake
ISTANBUL, Turkey—As the death toll from western Turkey's worst recorded earthquake surpassed 4,000 today, hundreds of thousands of Turks camped out in yards, parks, even on highway medians for yet another night in fear of going home — or because they had no home to go back to.
The masses of people huddled under Day-Glo tents or simple bed sheets tied to sticks for a second straight night provided mute testimony to the difficulties that lie ahead in returning the densely populated region to normal following Tuesday's powerful tremor.
"We don't trust our own homes," said 21-year-old Dilek Turkmen as she watched rescue workers sifting through the rubble of a collapsed apartment building on the outskirts of Istanbul.
More hard evidence: an inferno at the major Tupras oil refinery, still raging out of control today and threatening severe setbacks to the area that accounts for a third of Turkey's economic output.
Turkey's business newspaper, Financial Forum, estimated the quake would cost Turkey's struggling economy about $25 billion.

Evolution decision worries faculty about KU reputation
Continued from page 1A
Taylor said he hoped that the decision would be overturned by Gov. Bill Graves or by citizens voting BOE members out of office.
"People are going to think twice before they come to the state of Kansas. It creates a PR nightmare for us."
He said incoming students needed to know about evolutionary theory."We assume in higher education that students learn certain things in K-12," Taylor said. "It puts them at a disadvantage with their peers from other states."
Sally Frost Mason
"Just about everyone in our department has received comments from colleagues from around the world," Taylor said.
Taylor was interviewed by the British Broadcasting Corp. about the board's vote and has received numerous telephone calls.
dean of the college of liberal arts and sciences
Frank Goodoff, Houston junior, said the BOE — not the state — should be held responsible for the decision.
"I don't think it's so much a reflection on the state as the members of the school board," he said.
A computer engineering major, Goodoff said he doubted the school board's decision would affect the quality of science education in the state.
"Realistically, I don't think it's going to change what teachers teach," he said.
Amy Knoche, Olathe freshman in biology, was more upset by the vote.
"It shows we're kind of close-minded," she said. "You're kind of shutting yourself off."
Knoche said she was disturbed by how the state was perceived after adopting the new science standards.
"It's something that makes Kansas look dumb," Knoche said. "It's something we can't run away from now."

Chancellor Robert Hemenway named $5,000 checks to eight University of Kansas professors yesterday.
"The people who win are very deserving." Hemenway said. "They are representative of the quality of all of the KU faculty."
The chancellor, Provost David Shulenburger, Kansas University Endowment Association President Jim Martin and Commerce Bank Community President Mark Gonzales surprised the professors all from different departments with awards for teaching excellence during the first day of classes.
The W.T. Kemper Fellowships for Teaching Excellence honored Arlene Barry, associate professor of teaching and leadership; Diana B. Carlin, professor of communication studies; David Holmes, professor of psychology; Jan Kozma, professor in Italian; and Victor Bailey, professor of history.
Greg Simpson, head of the psychology department, said Holmes, his colleague, deserved the honor.
"Dr. Holmes for years has been known as one of the finest and most inspirational professors in the College of Liberal Arts and Science," he said. "The department is very pleased."
Stephen R. McAllister, professor of law; Philip A. Schrodt, professor of political science; and Norman A. Slade, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, also received the award.
Schrodt, who specializes in foreign policy decision-making and other international political issues, seemed surprised when the chancellor entered his classroom while he was teaching.
"This shows that the University cares about teaching," he said. "It's a great honor."
Hemenway said he enjoyed handing out the awards and suspending class at the same time.
"We get a chance to interrupt class and say some nice things about the professors," he said.
The awards honor outstanding teachers and advisers at the University who are chosen by a seven-member selection
committee that includes students, faculty and alumni.
The W.T. Kemper Foundation, of which Commerce Bank is a trustee, provided $250,000 for the program. The Endowment Association matched the amount, totaling $500,000 for the University to award its teachers.
Hemenway said the money allowed the University to praise teachers who embodied excellence.
"It enables us to identify 20 faculty members every year," he said. "The teachers achieve so much. We just put our money where our mouth is."
In total, $100,000 will be distributed to faculty members this week and next.
The "surprise patrol" will make visits today and Monday to eight more faculty members on the Lawrence and Edwards campuses. Also, four University of Kansas Medical Center faculty members in Wichita and Kansas City will be honored Aug. 24, 25 and 31.
The awards allowed the University to

A media campaign that targets alcohol abuse by University of Kansas students was kicked off with full-page advertisements in the University Daily Kansan on Monday and yesterday.
It's only the beginning of a four-and-a-half-year media blitz paid for by a $450,000 grant from the Kansas Health Foundation, said Jannette Berkley-Patton, the campaign's project facilitator. Berkley-Patton said the campaign organizers planned to run two quarter-page ads weekly in the Kansan this semester. In the months to come, the campaign leaders also will put up posters at residence halls, advertise on the KU on Wheels buses and set up table tents.
"It's really exciting for us," Berkley- Patton said. "We've just had nothing but incredible support for each project."
The program is modeled off a similar program employed for about 10 years by Northern Illinois University. KU administrators hope to duplicate the results of the northern Illinois campaign where heavy drinking has dropped 44 percent in the last decade, Berkley-Patton said. The University of Arizona implemented a replica of Northern Illinois' program and has seen similar results, she said.
"They've reduced binge drinking by 30 percent in just a few years," she said.
She said the University's goal was to reduce binge drinking 20 to 25 percent in four years.
Diana Carlin, interim assistant provost who helps oversee the campaign, said that her background as an associate professor of communication studies led her to be optimistic about the campaign.
"I'm very intrigued by it," she said. "It's not based on fear appeals, which don't work. Often, we act out of what we perceive to be the social norm, and this approach tries to redefine the norms."
Rather than trying to scare students with negative consequences of heavy drinking, the campaign focuses on the students' perceptions of how other students drink. Carlin said.
"Students have a false impression," said Provost David Shulenburger. "All this is doing is presenting the actual data and the actual facts about alcohol to students."
Specifically, the ad that ran in the Kansan said 58 percent of KU students
More information
Look for the report in Monday's paper about the allowance of alcohol on campus for special events.
had between zero and five drinks when they partied a statistic gathered from an alcohol survey administered to 1,621 students chosen to be representative of the student body.
During the summer, student focus groups were formed to evaluate the campaign. She said that students in the focus groups appreciated the positive approach. The focus groups, as well as 17 students approached on the street and 30 to 40 surveys collected from students, critiqued the content and design of the ad, and the one running in the Kansan is a result of their comments, she said.
Still, some students, such as David Borys, Overland Park freshman, said they questioned how effective the campaign would be. He said that even though he had read a Kansan with the ad in it, he hadn't noticed it.
"I don't think one ad is going to change anything." he said.
But, he added, a large, sustained campaign might have some effect.
Berkley-Patton acknowledged that the few ads now would probably have little effect but said that a steady stream of information should eventually embed itself in students' conscience.
The campaign actually started during the summer with new student orientation, she said. New students received postcards promoting the campaign and an article about the campaign in a newsletter.
Berkley-Patton said the response received from students so far was minimal but that this could have been partly because of the barrage of information students received at orientation.
"We did get a couple comments that students were happy to see it, but that's about it," she said.
Still, Matt Wachel, an orientation assistant and St. Louis, Mo., senior, said he thought the campaign would work in the end.
"I think there's truth behind it," Wachel said. "Anytime you can publicize and alleviate people's misconceptions about alcohol, it's worth the money."

Inclement weather, worker shortages and other problems associated with major construction projects pushed the completion date to Oct. 4. Because the University of Kansas Athletics Department underestimated the necessary time for the project, it paid Kansas City, Mo.-based Walton Construction Co. a $300,000 incentive to finish the project by Aug. 31, so that the stadium would be ready for the Sept. 11 home opener.
It is difficult to miss the changes made to the stadium since the end of the 1998 football season. A new, larger press box with new scholarship suits is nearly complete, and a Mega Vision board has been installed as "phase two" of a $26
Lack of planning and time have cost S300,000
million renovation plan. These changes will benefit the football program and the University. To build a strong program, there must be investment in the facilities as well as the players and coaches.
Since the Oct. 4 completion date would have been after three home games, the incentive was a necessity. It would be ridiculous to open the season with a stadium unfit to play in. At the same time, perhaps the headaches of this project could have been avoided with better planning and foresight. The new press box and Mega Vision board were each major additions. Was there really a
rush to install both at once?
The University seems to have underestimated the amount of time projects such as this really take. Obviously one can't predict what Mother Nature will do when signing construction contracts months in advance, but there wasn't enough cushion time allowed for the problems that arose.
It's not that the improvements weren't wanted or necessary, but a lot of trouble and money could have been saved if the University had not tried to cram both projects into one short time frame.
We urge the University to take this frustrating experience and learn from it. This lack of foresight and misjudgment cannot be tolerated in the future. There must be better planning and less risk-taking in future construction projects.

New-look Regents must work as one
As students begin another semester in the revamped Kansas higher educational system this fall, the bureaucracy that oversees higher education may need a quick lesson in teamwork.
Earlier this summer, Gov. Bill Graves and the Legislature passed a bill to vastly enlarge the Kansas Board of Regents' scope of governance to include 19 community colleges and 11 vocational-technical schools. The board previously governed only the six state universities.
The new Board of Regents, which includes five Republicans and four Democrats, has a wide variety of experience in all aspects of Kansas higher education. And Kim Wilcox, a former chairman of the University of Kansas speech-language-hearing department, will be the Regents' first executive
Regents must place students, universities before politics
director who will lead the group onto some unchartered ground.
The philosophy and goal of the larger board will be to improve communication with the Legislature on issues such as faculty salary, degree coordination and budget issues. But the manner in which the board was set up could turn out to be a hindrance to these goals.
The bill states that three separate commissions will be created to supervise different areas. One commission will govern the six state universities, while another will govern the community colleges and tech schools. The final
commission will be in charge of coordinating the other groups' work and dealing with the Legislature.
This structure could become troublesome if the board members don't work for the common goal of an improved overall system.
The board must look well into the future and provide the state universities, community colleges and tech schools with the means to create a unified system that can implement new degree tracks quickly, improve communication and efficiently lobby the Legislature. It also will need to look at ways to standardize classes at all institutions and make credit transfer rules more uniform.
It will only happen with the simple, but hard to implement, notion of teamwork.

A lot of people are out for the blood of six members of the Kansas Board of Education. The board members are the targets of a near nationwide louch
mob for voting to adopt new science standards for Kansas public schools that leave the teaching of evolution to the discretion of individual school districts.

Jeremy Johnson guest columnist opinion at karsan.com
You've probably read about these supposed religious-minded conservatives motivated to
Media pigeonholes board into stereotype
radically change science education by obliterating neo-Darwinian evolution from public classrooms. According to most of the news stories I've read, the board is on an underhanded mission to bring God into the classroom. The media has painted a pretty grim picture of these people, and it's no accident.
Perspective
Things may not be quite what they seem, though.
The standards adopted by the board were the amended form of an original document drawn up by a 27-member committee of science educators. Linda Holloway, board chairwoman and one of the six to vote for the new standards, said the original document was aimed at making evolution the major theme for all of science education. This would have radically changed the way evolution is taught in public schools, Holloway said. As things stand now, the adopted modified version simply gives the individual school districts the freedom to teach evolution as they see fit.
Bring along the support of a media that will pounce on even a whiff of a breach in the separation of church and state and you have yourself a winning strategy. The public doesn't really give a rip about whether or not your ancestors were hairy primates with a banana fetish. They do, however, care about religion being imposed on their kids. So, scream religion and you have yourself a media feeding frenzy to recruit fresh blood out to get the State Board of Education.
Holloway said she only asked the committee for evidence of macro-evolution and basically got in reply, "We're the experts, and that will have to do." Because of the committee's reluctance to defend its position and existing controversy over the theory, the board didn't think evolution as objective reality should be forced down kids' throats. Thus, it made its decision to leave the subject up to the individual districts.
Ah, but bringing religion into the schools certainly is. So, the best way to rally a public against an entity that doubts the proof for macro-evolution as waterproof, irrefutable reality isn't to present the lacking evidence. No, the best way is to discredit these people as backwards, unqualified, religious-minded conservatives whose only aim is to bring God into schools and to scare the public with doomsday prophesy that evolution removed from the classroom will be the end of educated children in Kansas.
It banned nothing. It censored nothing. It changed only the people who make the decisions. More than likely, the teaching of evolution won't change. But, the sin of the board is that it made change a possibility. It makes possible a challenge to neo-Darwinian authority.
Since the board's decision, I've heard a lot of name-calling and have seen the use of fear tactics to discredit the six members who approved the new standards. What I haven't heard is whether the board has a point. That never seems to come up. Since the decision on the new standards, the board's critics have called it names, tried to discredit it, threatened lawsuits and made veiled threats that its decision could spell the death of Western civilization as we know it. All the while, the board sees a reluctance to give what should be easily offered, airtight evidence for the critics' case.
Still, the orthodox scientific answer of our ancestry isn't orthodox at all if you ask the average American. Gallup polls show that nine out of 10 Americans don't believe we evolved from less advanced forms of life in which an intelligent creator had no part, and nearly seven out of 10 think creationism should be taught alongside evolution in the
The board's decision was to encourage intellectual honesty. Religious prejudice wasn't the motive, although critics would like everyone to think so. It just makes me wonder, if the board's opponents have to resort to this type of behavior, and if truth can withstand scrutiny, what is its motive?
I thought in this day and age that was a good thing. We're taught in school to think for ourselves. We're taught to question expert opinions and orthodox views to the big cultural questions, except for the question of how we all got here in the first place, I guess.
classroom. The polls show that this isn't a big issue in the lives of most people.

Creationism has no place in school science lessons

one of the great centers of world culture.
Sometimes I even manage to convince other people that Kansas is not dominated by hicks who still view the automobile as a newfangled contraption.
Sigh. Still, the opinion of the rest of the nation isn't something we should base public policy on. Let's examine the school board's case, shall we?
"Kids should be studying science, basic facts that can be measured and observed," said Steve Abrams, a member of the board. One of his main arguments is that evolution cannot be witnessed in action, or recreated in a lab.
Very true. Then again, neither can atoms or electrons. Should we omit the mention of them as well? The whole notion of "It can't be seen; therefore, it is irrelevant" wipes whole volumes of science from our libraries.
The school board holds that evolution is "unproven," that it has a competing theory — creationism. Why, they argued, should the latter be censored while the former is taught?
Quite simply, because the only people who hold to the opinion that creationism is a science are Christian Fundamentalists. A science that is only believed by a certain religious denomination is not a science. It is a tenet of faith.
Go to the departments of biology and paleontology here at the University of Kansas. Ask the professionals in the relevant fields what they think of the scientific validity of both evolution and creationism. You will find that the former is held as a basic lynch pin of the entire field, while the latter is held as an article of religious faith.
Does this mean that creationists are wrong in their belief? No. Christ rising from the dead is not scientific either, yet many people, this columnist included, believe it happened. It is an article of faith, one which defies logic, one that requires belief in a divine power capable of bending or altering natural law.
Modern science holds that evolution is true. The Kansas school board may deny that if it wishes, but it cannot change it.
In short, a biology classroom is not the proper place to deny a concept which is a keystone of modern biology. Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and unto science that which is science's.
Another argument commonly offered holds that the very notion of evolution is offensive to those who hold a strict interpretation of the Bible, and therefore should not be offered.
And if we merely adjust science to fit the Bible, why, that's religious discrimination. We must apply the law fairly, and ban all science that does not fit all religions. No more teaching that cows are non-divine animals. No more teaching the basics of a modern economy; a Cargo cultist would regard it as heresy.
If one takes it literally, the Bible denies the Copernican model of the planets, around which modern astronomy is based. We should be consistent, if not wise, and ban it along with evolution, and go back to teaching that the sun rotates round the earth. Nor should we teach that slavery was wrong, for in the book of Leviticus it states that: "Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession."
The decision made by the state board was based on religious belief, not science. Separation of church and state has fallen by the wayside in Kansas. Maybe we should pick it up again before it expires completely.

Apartments offer new services
Jefferson Commons built for student living

Jefferson Commons, Lawrence's newest apartment complex, opened Sunday, introducing a new approach to off-campus student living.
The three- and four-bedroom apartments, at 1410 Kasold Drive, came fully furnished and were rented per bedroom rather than per apartment to avoid financial difficulties if roommates decided to move out.
Tamara Hoffines, Jefferson Commons resident relations director, said the complex was more student-oriented than others because of the amenities it offered.
For example, the complex employs Community Assistants to work as liaisons between the residents and the management.
Hoffhines said the assistants were generally college students who would help create regular newsletters, plan activities and visit with the residents about their concerns and complaints.
"A lot of times the residents feel more comfortable talking with their peers," Hofhines said. "It's easier for them to get their complaints resolved this way."
Jefferson Commons' first activity took place yesterday morning. Employees gave bagels and juice to students who were on their way to class.
Hofhines said a pool party with a disc jockey playing was scheduled for tomorrow. There also will be a sand volleyball tournament, she said.
In addition to the Community Assistant program, the complex offers a roommate matching service, which pairs up residents based on information about their ages and majors and preferences about smoking, alcohol and noise.
Sean Dolyk, Doylestown, Ohio, junior, found two of his three roommates through the service, which he said he was thankful for.
"It's pretty hard matching yourself to people just based on flfers," he said. "I've tried doing that a couple times, and it's never really worked."
Dolyk and a friend decided they wanted two additional roommates to share a four-bedroom apartment at Jefferson Commons.
Working with the complex's system, Dolyk chose his two new roommates based on the
information they provided
In addition to the programs, Hofhines said there also was Internet access in each room, as well as a 24-hour computer room, a workout facility, a swimming pool and a club house on site.
Dolyk said his apartment looked amazing, and he would be happy living there, but he was waiting yesterday for his phone to be connected, his cable to be repaired and for weather stripping to be placed underneath his front door.
He is not the only resident who waited for kinks to be worked out.
Brett Norman, Overland Park sophomore, was still without a dining room table and a telephone connection yesterday after moving in Sunday.
"It's more of a hassle and annoying than anything else." Norman said. "It's an inconvene-
nience."
Jefferson Commons did not receive all of the furniture in time for some residents' arrivals. Hofhines said that the management would deliver the missing furniture for the furnished apartments when it arrived.
Hofflines said that there were about two phone problems in each of the 13 buildings, which resulted from electrical wiring errors, problems with Southwestern Bell and residents who failed to set up their lines before they moved in.
Hofhines said a team of Southwestern Bell employees and Jefferson Commons electricians worked on the phones with problems yesterday.
"Every new complex has some problems, and ours has been the phones," Hofhines said. "I think the residents have been pretty understanding."

Security is increased after violent incidents
Jefferson Commons, 1410 Kasold Drive, only has been open for five days, but two bouts with violence have prompted management to increase security measures.
Robin Corrick, Jefferson Commons community manager, said that a Lawrence police officer lived on-site as a courtesy associate. Earlier this week, Corrick added the services of MIL-SPEC Security, which sends a security patrol around the complex several times each night.
Since the complex's opening on Sunday, Lawrence police have reported two violent incidents.
On Sunday night, a fight between two roommates resulted in a call to police when one of the roommates, a 19-year-old female KU student, said her roommate's mother pushed her down the stairs.
The mother said the woman lost her footing and fell down.
The woman decided to drop charges and was assigned another roommate.
Lawrence police continue to search for the suspects in a gang-related fight at 2:20 a.m. Tuesday in the Jefferson Commons swimming pool.
According to Lawrence police reports, a fight broke out when a group of residents blamed a group of visitors for taking their wallets while they were in the swimming pool.
One of the residents, a 22-yearold male KU student, was attempting to resolve the conflict when he was told it was "schoolyard business," which police interpreted as gang-
related. He also was slapped in the face by one of the visitors, police said.
Police said the resident jumped into the pool in an attempt to hide from the quarreling visitors but was hit with a patio table and beer bottles. After the suspects fled, residents helped him out of the pool. He was not injured.
The suspects have been described as a group of four to six men about 23 years old. Two of the men had gold teeth and were smoking blunts, according to the police report.
Corrick attributed the episodes to back-to-school stress and curiosity about the apartments.
"It's a new property; it's a fun place to be, people want to see it," she said. "And when you get that many kids around in one place, something's bound to happen."
Charu Narula, Leawood junior and Jefferson Commons resident, agreed.
"Anytime you get in an environment with that many college students, things are going to happen," she said. "It doesn't matter where you are."
Narula said she did not feel unsafe at the complex.
"I've seen police officers at the perimeter and patrolmen walking all around making sure minors aren't drinking and parties don't get too loud or anything," she said.
Corrick said the additional security seemed to have corrected the problem.
"I guess they're taking care of it," she said.
Wednesday night was pretty quiet, she said.

Pyramid Pizza reopens looks to keep customers
'We Pile It On!'

The photographs displayed on the walls at Pyramid Pizza show its pizza boxes in locations all across the world — at the Golden Gate Bridge, on top of the Continental Divide. But for about two decades, KU students have associated Pyramid Pizza with one location in particular — underneath The Wheel Cafe, 507 W.14th St.
"We were out playing basketball, and we walked up to get a slice and Pyramid was gone," Moore said.
Whether catching a bite to eat on the way home from classes or grabbing a late-night slice after an evening at one of the neighborhood bars, generations of students knew where to find a familiar piece of pie.
In May, Mark and Kathy Dodson, owners of Pyramid Pizza, began moving to their new location at 701 W. Ninth St. after Rob Farha, owner of The Wheel, decided not to renew their lease so that he could own his own pizza business.
Tip Moore, Wichita sophomore, lives just down the block from The Wheel at the Beta Theta Pi fraternity house and said he was surprised and disappointed to discover Pyramid was gone.
"It was one of the most difficult decisions I've made since I took over here," Faraha said.
Now campus pizza fans will find a new face at the old Pyramid location and a fresh face for Pyramid at a new location.
Farha, who is in his third year as owner of the Wheel, said that it was hard to make the Dodons move because they were good tenants and had been owners of Pyramid for only about a year. It was
purely a business decision, Farha said.
"The bar business is a lot tougher than when I used to work here," Farha said. "I wanted to diversify and find a way to create another source of income."
Mark Dodson said that though they had not wanted to move, he did not feel they were treated unfairly by Farha.
The inevitable comparisons to Pyramid's pizza are something that Farha knows he will have to face, and he said he realized some Pyramid fans might be put out by the move.
"There's been upset students; there's been students who don't care," Farha said. "It's something I'm prepared to go through."
Moore said that Pyramid definitely would be missed.
"We're anxious to see what The Wheel has to offer, but we're going to miss Pyramid," he said.
As for Pyramid's new place, the Dodons said they were happy with both the location and the building.
"We wanted to stay close to campus because 80 percent of our business is students," Mark Dodson said.
Mark Dodson said that walk-up traffic was good at the new location and that the only real loss for Pyramid was football game-day business.
Kathy Dodson said that the new location had several advantages such as dine-in seating and air-conditioning. She said she and her husband felt a special bond with the new place because they did much of the work on it themselves.
Both places will provide students with a cure for late-night munchies. The Wheel Pizza Co. will stay open until 2:30 a.m. Monday through Saturday, and Pyramid stays open until 3 a.m. Thursday through Saturday.

Maxwell to focus on promises
Financial matters, parking, KU safety head Senate's list
By Chris Borniger
writer kanson.com
Konsan staff writer
Prominent issues in last spring's Student Senate elections will probably resurface when Senate begins meeting this fall.
Korb Maxwell, student body president, said he planned to act upon many of the issues he cited during his campaign, such as gaining more parking spaces, establishing a course retake policy, forming a campus safety master plan and lobbying the Kansas Legislature for lower tuition inflation and increased faculty salaries.
"First, we need to deliver on what we actually said we'd do," Maxwell said. "I thought every one of our goals was realistic and attainable."
He said he saw lowering tuition and fees as his biggest job. Also, he said he wanted to reduce the $20 fee students paid to support women's and non-revenue generating sports, which had separate budgets from major revenue-generating sports. Major sports at the University of Kansas have a $3 million surplus in their budgets. Maxwell said the disparity was unfair.
"People in those sports are treated like second-class citizens," he said. "That surplus money should be supporting other sports too."
Maxwell also said he would lobby the Board of Regents for a statewide sexual orientation non-discrimination policy. Although the University already has one, Maxwell said Emporia State University President Kay Schallenkamp's decision to revoke ESU's policy made a counteracting policy necessary.
STUDENT SENATE GOALS

1999," he said.
Ben Walker, Student Legislative Awareness Board legislative director, said his goals for the year were not just about issues.
"Unfortunately, it's going to be a tough year because of the state's budget deficit." Walker
said. "But I want SLAB to become more active on campus. Hopefully, we can make more students likely to vote."
Some senators said they didn't expect partisan sentiments from last spring's campaign to hinder cooperation at Senate meetings.
"Things are always kind of tense at the beginning of the year," said Luke Pfannenstiel, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator. "But the differences aren't usually that big."
Maxwell said that students could expect a proactive Senate this year.
"Our role is in advocacy," he said. "The times when student government increased its power were in times of student activism. There need to be times when Senate's willing to take action."
Although the full Senate does not meet until Sept. 15, committee meetings begin Sept. 8.

Buses experience first-day problems
By Nathan Willis and Michael Terry
Kansan staff writers
Students who signed up for the Park-and-Ride program, which transports students from the Lied Center parking lot to the main campus, found it difficult to park or ride yesterday morning.
Lawrence public schools held its convocation at the center from 7 to 11 a.m., jamming the 1,000-space parking lot and forcing Park-and-Ride students to park along curbs and in the grass.
"We had the entire faculty and staff of the Lawrence schools there," said Karen Christilles, Lied Center director of public relations.
John Bialek, manager of KU on
Wheels, said that, to make matters worse, the cars parked along the curbs prevented buses that picked up students with Park-and-Ride passes from leaving the lot.
Between 8 and 9 a.m. the situation worsened because cars trying to leave the lot further blocked access, said Charles Pirtle, night operations manager for the Lawrence Bus Co. Buses were delayed about 30 minutes while cars were moved out of the way.
Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking, said she didn't know whether the illegally parked cars were towed or moved by their owners. She also said she didn't know if the parking department issued tickets.
Christie's said day events that attracted such large numbers of
people were rare at the center, so yesterday's scenario shouldn't be repeated often.
Hultine said the parking department would issue up to 500 permits for the 1,000-space lot this year, which is 200 more than last year. However, by the end of Wednesday, the department had sold only 223 permits, she said.
The Park-and-Ride situation was not the only transportation glitch during the first day of school.
Bialek said that a KU on Wheels bus broke down in the morning along the 15th and Crestline streets route, but it was replaced in 15 minutes.
Michael Young, transportation board secretary, attributed the problems to opening-day jitters.
first day of class. To have this kind of thing happen is not surprising."
"Most likely this is a limited incident," Young said. "It's the
He also said that the transportation board had considered potential problems with Park and Ride when the Lied Center held day events but that it considered the problems infrequent enough to justify selling more permits.
"We know that that lot has the capacity to do it," Young said. "We also know that if the Lied Center has something planned, we have to work around that."
The reopening of Lewis Hall probably amplifies the need for permits. Young said.
Pirtle said the Lawrence Bus Co had asked the KU Public Safety Office to increase surveillance of the lot in the future, in order to prevent a similar situation from occurring.

Back-to-School Block Party ends rush week
By Lari O'Toolle
writer @kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The week-long sorority recruitment process will end Saturday night with the Women's Back-to-School Block Party, which is open to all women on campus.
The preference round, the final round of sorority recruitment, will be tonight.
Bill Nelson, director of greek programs, said prospective sorority members would attend a maximum of three parties based on the number of invitations they received from chapter houses.
He said the women also would indicate in preferential order the sororities they are willing to join.
Applicants will be placed into chapters on Saturday.
Nelson said there would be a Panhellenic Association installation ceremony at 3 p.m. Saturday at the Lied Center to induct the women into the greek system.
The party was scheduled from 8 p.m. to midnight Saturday at the Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall parking lot.
The event is free, but Carnes said a five dollar donation would be requested to raise money for a house the greek community planned to build for Habitat for Humanity.
Kelly Jo Carnes, assistant director for greek programs, said the party was serving several purposes, including assisting the members in following a guideline set by the National Panhellenic Conference.
"The rule says 24 hours after Bid Day they're not to be in the presence of alcohol or men," she said. "The 24-hour time is to say 'this is your sisterhood time.'"
Carnes also said more than 100 prizes, including free dinners and free semesterlong fitness center memberships, would be available.
She said there also would be free snacks, including Coca-Cola products, popcorn, cotton candy and fresh vegetables. There will be a dunk tank and other carnival-type games, as well.
"I think it's a really great event and a great idea," Carnes said. "In the past, there hasn't been a collaboration between the residence halls and the greek system. I think that this is a great step to do that."
Representatives from student organizations will be at the party handing out information.

Private health spots compete for clientele
Fitness clubs offer healthy benefits
By Amber Stuver writer @kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
As students invade Lawrence for the fall semester, Lawrence's private health clubs are preparing to battle for new and old clientele.
Lawrence Athletic Club, 3201 Mesa Way, and Total Fitness Athletic Center, 925 Iowa St., have moved, expanded and renovated in time for the fall semester.
The newest addition to the Lawrence health club scene is Lawrence Athletic Club's south location at 2108 W. 27th St. LAC South is located at the old Total Fitness location but has undergone renovations.
The new club features $400,000 worth of new equipment, a new 1600-square-foot suspended hardwood aerobic floor, new lockers, ceramic tiles and saunas. It is also fully mirrored and features rubber flooring, a stereo system and juice bar. The club is open from 5 a.m. to 1 a.m. Monday through Friday, 7 a.m.-8 p.m. Saturday, and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.
Owner Rick Sells said he opened the south location to attract Total Fitness members who didn't want to move with the club when it opened its new location on Iowa Street.
"These people want a health club in their own backyard."
Improvements also are being made at Lawrence Athletic Club North, which was damage after a fire last spring. The club has since reopened but still is undergoing about $1.4 million worth of rebuilding and is adding $700,000 worth of new equipment.
Sells said.
The construction is scheduled to be completed by Sept. 13. The north location also features six tanning beds, a six-lane pool, two racquetball courts and a hardwood basketball court.
Total Fitness Athletic Center moved to its new location at Hillcrest Shopping Center last May. The club doubled in size with the addition of two half-court basketball courts, a wellness center and a larger aerobics facility.
"Most people join our clubs because we offer more," Sells said. "Our clubs are brand-new. They're state-of-the-art."
"I came here, and I just like the facility," Kelly said. "They have a nice weight room, and there's hardly anyone here and they're open 24 hours during the week."
John Kelly, Kansas City junior, joined Total Fitness after the temporary closing of LAC because of the fire.
Total Fitness's hours are from 5 a.m. Monday to midnight Friday and from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Sells said both LAC locations offered deals to attract students who left after last spring's fire. LAC South is offering a special of $99 a semester or $178 for two semesters, which does not include access to the north location. Mem-

burship to the north location,
which does include access to both
facilities, is $119 for one semester
or $218 for two semesters.
"They're getting totally brand-new equipment and I'm not raising my rates," Sells said. "They're going to come back."
The cardiovascular equipment and aerobics room have been available for use since Monday at LAC South. The weights will be ready for use Tuesday.
Marty Tuley, Total Fitness president, wouldn't quote rates on the phone, but he said the club offered special prices to students. He said that Total Fitness offered complimentary personal training and wellness to members and that it had a quality staff.
"We have a very well-educated, very well-qualified staff," Tuley said. "We put a very heavy
emphasis on training so we know our customer service is good."
Lawrence's other health clubs include Sixth Street Fitness, formerly New Life Fitness, 2500 W. Sixth Street.
Amanda Perdaris, manager, said people came to New Life Fitness for the personal service and lack of crowds.
"This is the place to go if you want to come in, get your workout done and go," she said.
Body Boutique, 925 Ileu Street, offers a facility exclusively for women with cardiovascular and weight equipment, tanning beds and aerobics.
"It's all women and I like that," said Kendra Glassman, Salina freshman. "I'm just intimidated, I guess, by guys that lift, and I'm too short for all the machines."
Local furniture store closing doors

Actually, 1998 was the store's best year on record with $1 million in sales, said co-owner Ron Johnson.
The 35-year-old downtown store is closing its doors Sept.1, because of conflict with a new landlord. When the property was traded May 1, the new owner increased rent 850 percent.
"We just didn't have that figured in the budget," Johnson said.
Johnson looked into several alternatives, including relocating and building a free-standing store, before deciding to close. Either of those options would cost the store about $8,000 a month; prior to May 1, rent was $750.
Pat Talbott, manager of the Prairie Village-based Jayhawk Equities L.L.C., which now owns the property, said his company tried to accommodate the furniture store.
"We're definitely going to increase inventory. We'll have a much better selection in every area."
"We offered to lease it to them at a much-below-market rate, and they couldn't afford it." he said.
Danish Inspirations, now located at 1012 Massachusetts St., will move into the building by Nov. 1. The modern furniture store will nearly double its size, said Danish
Chet Johnson, Johnson's father, opened the store in 1964 with $8,500 worth of merchandise. As the business grew, the store expanded; in 1981, the store spread into the area next door. That same year Johnson and his brother Larry took control of the business.

Johnson said the store's success was because of a strong connection to the Lawrence community.
"We're definitely going to increase inventory," Leedy said. "We'll have a much better selection in every area."
"Lawrence citizens aren't our
customers," he said. "They're our extended family. And when you drive money from the community, you need to give back to the community."
Under this philosophy, Johnson Furniture has donated items to numerous charity auctions, sponsored the AquaHawks swimming team and the Special Olympics.
Last year, it purchased an ad in the Laurence Journal-World congratulating the Haskell Indian Nations University women's basketball team for its success.
"The Johnsons have been good to Lawrence," said Jeff Tschudy, store manager. "That's something a chain won't do."
Johnson Furniture is spending its last days with a going-out-of-business sale.
"It's our main objective now to do good business in the time we have left," Johnson said. "It's been a great 35 years. It's the end of an era."

Don't fugetta 'bout it — ganster movie that is
Grant saves Mickey Blue Eyes from mobster comedy cliché
By Brendan Walsh
Kansan movie critic
The matie can't rub out Hugh Grant's smile in his latest movie Mickey Blue Eyes. Grace plays an Englishman who falls madly in love with the maffa boss's daughter.
Contributed art.
Hugh Grant could write the book on how to be the male lead in a romantic comedy. Always charming, attractive enough to get geten's attention and insecure enough to seem non-threatening to men, Grant can make a ho-hum comedy into a real winner.
And that's what he does in the title role of Mickey Blue Eyes.
An auctioneer in New York City, Michael Felgate (Grant) is so enamored with girlfriend Gina Vitale (Janeine Triplephorn) that he asks her to marry him after just three months of dating. He is shocked and dismayed when she says no, but vows to change her mind. He finally finds that the reason Gina won't marry him is because she's part of a mob family and

fears getting the super-innocent Michael involved in her family's crookedness. Thirty seconds of intense conversation follow, and—not to worry—the couple agrees that they can overcome Gina's genealogy and live crime-free lives.
Things do not go as planned after Gina's uncle finds out what Michael does for a living. He decides that selling Gina's cousin's garish paintings through Michael's auction house is the ideal way to launder money. But mayhem ensues, the engagement is called off and someone gets killed. Michael still loves Gina though, so he must do what is necessary to win back her love.
What follows is predictable as can be, but that is the way audiences want it. Mob humor is hardly new territory—see Analyze This, Mafia!, etc.—and writers Adam Scheinman and Robert Kuhn don't go beyond what is already out there. The gags rely predominantly on the various awkward situations that Michael endures as he adjusts to the lives of the Mafiosi.
But Grant's gift for comedy saves Mickey Blue Eyes in the end. He bumbles when speaking, bungles important situations but remains smiling
throughout. His comic timing is impeccable, his acting appropriately subdued and dry. Keep him out of roles in action movies like his ill-conceived appearance in Extreme Measures and Grant truly shines.
Triplelhorn is overshadowed by Grant, but holds her own in the end. Smart-looking and classy, she is the perfect compliment to Grant's foolishness. James Caan has a major role as Gina's dad and performs adequately. Certainly not a stunning performance, but well done.
Joe Viterelli, fresh from his appearance alongside Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal in Analyze This, plays a member of Gina's family's gang. He looks amazingly authentic as a tough guy, but shows his range when called on as a comedic sidekick.
Less romantic than funny and more hit than miss, this lighthearted look at mobsters is worth the ticket price.

Chemical Brothers cover all of electronica's bases
By Bryan Anderson
Kansan music critic
Grade: A
Remember when electronica was supposed to be the next big thing? In 1997, the Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy lead a second British invasion and succeeded in bringing electronic music to the attention of mainstream America. However,
like Star Wars: Episode 1 — The Phantom Menace, the electronic insurgence did not live up to the tremendous hype.
It is two years later, and hiphop music is the next big thing. The time is perfect for the new
SWITZERLAND
The next track Out of control seems like a show of reverence for electronic music pioneers New Order. It has a simple groove with an intense breakdown that gives the listener a chance to catch his or her breath. On orange wedge the Brothers make listeners aware that they have funky beats to bug out to. They slow it down a bit, but turn the funk
Chemical Brothers album, Surrender. While The Prodigy seemed more like rock stars than electronic artists, the Chemical Brothers, with their big beats and relaxed style, seem to have more in common with hip hoppers, a reminder of their days as DJs in British clubs. With help from a diverse crowd, from Noel Gallagher of Oasis to Missy "Misdeamonor" Elliot, the Brothers ease into an album that covers all spectrums of electronic music.
The opening track Music response shows their hip-hop influence immediately. With help from Elliot, the Brothers lay disco guitars and a simple melody with a heavy bass line and enough electronic noise to let listners know that they mean business. On the next track the Brothers head to the opposite side of the electronic spectrum. The track conjures up images of a club with flashing lights and wall-to-wall bodies moving in unison.
up in retaliation.
The Chemical Brothers enlist the vocal help of Gallagher for Let fcrever be, a pop tune with a busy bass guitar line, which is a departure from their usual style.
They mellow out a bit on sunshine underground, asleep from the day and the title track surrender, while still managing to slip into a bit of a frenzy on them. On Got glint? they take a cue from their French counterparts Daft Punk and unload some quarter notes and funk with a breakdown that includes space-age sounds and solid hand claps.
The centerpiece of the album is the first single Hey boy hey girl. With a sample of the old school, hip-hop tune The roof is on fire, the song's block-rocking beats let the people know that they came to rock the party. On the last track, Dream on, they settle everyone down and send them home satisfied.
While Surrender is not the second coming of the electronic revolution, it is a sampler of the different genres of electronic music, some of which the Chemical brothers have pioneered. Surrender is their strongest work to date.
Dawson's Creek star grows up on screen
Actress leaves teens, but not teenage roles
The Associated Press
Katie Holmes is growing up - whether she likes it or not.
She still plays a teen-ager on TV, but Holmes is no longer a teen in real life. She put college on hold to relive the joys and heartaches of high school on the WB network's Dawson's Creek, but finds herself back at the crossroads between adolescence and adulthood in art and life as Joey, Dawson and the gang enter their senior year, and her real world begins changing dramatically, too.
"I'm still having fun playing a teenager and I'm still having fun being that little kid, and continuing to kind of embrace my youth," the 20-year-old actress says, sprawled across a couch in her Manhattan hotel suite. "Parts of me do want to be that 25-year-old who is in complete control and, you know, ready to conquer the world, and there's the other part that still wants to be that demure little 16-year-old, that is still protected. I don't know, is that normal?"
Complicating any hopes for an easy adjustment into the adult world is her thriving film career. She co-stars opposite Helen Mirren in the new movie Teaching Mrs. Tingle, and opposite Michael Douglas in the recently completed Wonder Boys.
In an interview, Holmes reveals the central contradiction that surfaces continually in her film and TV work, seeming at once unattainable and the quintessential girl next door, a wholesome daughter of the Midwest who can't help her undeniably savvy sex appeal. She displays the same disarming blend of pixie-like innocence, brains and guile that makes high school boys weak-kneed and melts the hearts of casting agents.
What has been toughest for Holmes is how easy her leap to stardom was, an unknown Catholic schoolgirl from Toledo landing a movie role in The Ice Storm at her first Hollywood audition, then starring in a teen TV hit right out of high school.
More movies (Disturbing Behavior, Go) followed, accompanied by trappings of fame that included magazine covers and a slew of Web sites devoted to her.
"I did struggle for a while with the
knowledge and the guilt," Holmes says. "You know, why did this happen for me? Why didn't I struggle for five years? Is this in any way indicative of a long career or is this just a short thing? What is this? What does this all mean?"
Entering it's third season, Dawson's Creek will continue without creator Kevin Williamson, the writer of such horror films as Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, who leaves popcorn hack-and-slash behind in Teaching Mrs. Tingle, his directorial debut.
His departure — to focus on his new TV project, Wasteland — makes some wonder how long Dawson's Creek can survive without him, especially as its rising young stars (Holmes, James Van Der Beek, Michelle Williams) get more movie roles.
A Dawson's Creek run that avoids becoming a lifelong saga a la *Beverly Hills* 90201 would suit Holmes just fine.
"I want to take it slowly and learn as much about it as I can, and really take the time to grow up and take the time to challenge myself with different roles at the times when I am ready," she says. "I also really want to go to college. It all depends on what's going on with Dawson's Creek and where my career is headed after that, if any where."
Holmes sees the irony of playing Leigh Ann Watson in Teaching Mrs. Tingle, which features Mirren as a heartless teacher out to crush Holmes' spirit and prevent her from getting out of their one-horse town.
"Leigh Ann was essentially me when I was in high school, in that I was very ambitious and
driven and I wanted a life outside of what I knew," she says, rolling her eyes at how things turned out for her, how her all her dreams came true. "It was so out of the blue, so unexpected. I mean all of a sudden my life changed, and it was unbelievable, and I was like a deer in the headlights, so many emotions going on."
"I still am not used to it, I guess. It's been really wild. Such a great ride." Holmes says, choosing her words carefully despite her obvious excitement.
"Right now I just want to be smart about it. I know that I've been given so many unbelievable opportunities and what I hope to do is just take advan-

'Hawks search for standout
Increased depth key to success
By Mike Miller

Kansas sportwriter
Luckily, the Jayhawks have several wide receivers that can fit the bill.
When Coach Terry Allen arrived at Kansas, he wanted to upgrade the skill positions. Three years later, he's accomplished that goal at wide receiver.
"This is probably our most anticipated year since I've been here," said senior wide receiver Michael
Chandler. "We have so much depth. We've got height, speed, size, hands. We're set."
Chandler, a senior co-captain, along with junior Termaine Fulton and sophomore Harrison Hill have become reliable wide-outs for Kansas. Last season, as the top three receivers, they accounted for more than 50 percent of all receptions and two-thirds of the touchdown receptions.
Hill was poised for a breakout year last season when he caught eight passes for 118 yards against Alabama-Birmingham, but he suffered a hamstring injury midway through the year. He still led the team with 28 receptions.
Fulton is the deep threat among
the bunch. His 503 receiving yards led the team, and his career average of 23 yards per catch is among the best in school history.
"We all have some good stuff." Chandler said. "Termaine's one of the faster people. Harrison's got some great hands.
"And I'm one of the bigger receivers we have."
Chandler led the team in receptions two years ago and had a reception in every game except the season finale against Iowa State.
"He's the experienced old man of the group." Fulton said.
Throw in speedy junior Eric Patterson, junior Algen Williams and Anton Paige, a redshirt freshman who is the tallest target on the
field at 6-foot-5, and the receivers form one of the best units in the Big 12 Conference. Only Iowa State has more receivers returning who caught more passes last year.
"Two years ago from now we've come a long way," Fulton said. "When we came in, there wasn't much here. Now we have a lot of good receivers."
And that's without sophomore Byron Gasaway, the fastest receiver among them. Gasaway fractured his jaw July 22 and might be out for the season. "We've still got enough guys to be all right but we're going to miss him," Hill said.
Morningstar ready to defend Jayhawks
That leaves more playing time for everyone else.
See ROOKIE one age 2B

Kansan sportswriter
Scholarship or no scholarship, Jamie Morningstar is a Jayhawk.
Of course, it could have been a different story for Morningstar, a freshman walk-on for the Kansas volleyball team.
As a senior last season at Lawrence's Free State High School, she received scholarships to play volleyball at other schools. She will admit, however, that there weren't many that came rolling in.
The only Division-I offer she received was from Colgate University in New York, a school better known for first-round losses in the men's NCAA Tournament in basketball. Not exactly the place to start a budding volleyball career.
So Morningstar did the easy thing. After her senior year at Free State, where she led the team in kills (303) and digs (164), she simply staved home.
"My parents went here, I love this town and I love this campus," she said. "It's just a great program with great coaches."
"Even when we didn't live in Lawrence, we always cheered for KU," she said. "It's always been a school that I've loved more than any other."
The result? Morningstar will begin her Kansas career as a walk-on.
Morningstar said that one of the deciding factors in choosing Kansas was that her father, Roger, was a basketball player for the Jayhawks from 1974-75. Kansas pride, therefore, was in her from the start.
The only downside is that Morningstar plays defensive specialist, which, according to Kansas coach Ray Bechard, is usually a non-scholarship position.
"Scholarship or not, it's really not a big issue
with her," Bechard said. "It's just the opportunity to contribute that important."
Morningstar may get the opportunity to contribute as early as this season. The Jayhawks have three defensive specialists on their roster. One, Kristi Kiyabu, is a senior. The other, Jennifer Kraft, is sitting through a redshirt season.
("Mormingstar's) goal defined is the ability to come in and serve balls, and serve and receive," Bechard said. "Anytime you have a specialist, the hope is that they raise the intensity of your team when they step on the floor."
"I accepted the role that I am on this team and wherever Coach puts me, that's what I'll do," she said. "If he doesn't put me in, then I'm there for my teamsmate that are in."
Morningstar said one of her goals was to try and earn a scholarship somewhere down the road. But she knows that road will not be easy.
"Whether or not that happens, it really doesn't matter," she said. "I have to prove to them that I'm worthy of one, I guess. I just have to work my hardest no matter what."
Starting Sept. 1, when the Jayhawks open their season against Missouri-Kansas City at the Horesei Family Athletics Center, she'll get that opportunity.
The Jayhawks have been hard at work practicing for two weeks. Morningsar said that it had taken some time to adjust to the Division-I level, but she had learned a lot as to what her role with this team would be.
Edited by Mike Loeder
"My jobs are to serve, pass and to keep the team going and to just be a good teammate," she said. "On and off the court, I need to be there for my teammates just like any other player."

Water polo, body cramp brings back the memories
Seeing all these freshmen run around has put me in a nostalgic mood. I thought back to my freshmen year at Kansas, back when Budig Hall was a big construction zone, when the smart card was still a science-fictionish idea of the future, when residence hall phone numbers started with 864.
Welcome to your first Friday of classes.
The Fall 1999 semester has begun. A barrel-load of new freshmen have arrived.
The drama continues.
I'm supposedly wiser now that I'm in my senior year. I just wish I had a little more wisdom to offer besides my, "Drop Spanish at KU and take it at Johnson County," no-brainer.
young lot. My high school had limited opportunities when it came to sports. No soccer team. No tennis team. Only the very basic sports were offered.
But I do have a story and a moral for our young new students. It goes like this:
When I first came to Kansas, a huge University of roughly 25,000 students, I
was a little intimidated by the college atmosphere. But then I realized the opportunities KU offered, sports and otherwise.
Think about it. So many people your age in one town. So many being the opposite sex. All ready to party. Or — play sports.
Wanting to explore new sports, I answered the call to a new and mysterious sport. I joined the club water polo team.
I knew nothing about water polo except for that it was easily the most difficult sport I had ever tried. I used to run cross country in high school, and running 15 miles wasn't a
Seth Jones columnist sports@kansan.co
ming after a water polo ball non-stop nearly killed me. Once, I even woke up in the middle of the night with a total body
cramp. They're really freakish, if you've never had one before. I wouldn't suggest them on my list of new things to try at at school.
My water polo career only lasted two weeks. I decided it was time to hang up the Speedos and shower cap as I stood in the shallow end of the pool watching everyone else scrimmage. I had my own coach assigned to me. Rather than talking water polo offense or working on my defense, his job was to try to teach me the proper way to swim.
But understand that if you remain level-headed, Kansas is filled with new opportunities like water polo. Even if you don't really know how to swim, it can be a fun way to sink.
But the guys were cool about my swimming problems. They really didn't care. Sure, they were concerned whenever I'd get tired and start to bob under water, but they still appreciated my efforts. They would have helped me stick it out if I just would have had the same love for water polo as they did.
What Kansas can offer when you mistreated it is bad. For instance, your friendly neighborhood columnist Seth suggests you avoid such things like binge drinking, "minor in possession" tickets, the freshman 15 and a 0.5 grade point average. These things lead to running back home to mom and dad and working at the local Quicky Mart or widget factory.
You may consider me foolish for trying water polo while being a poor swimmer. But what other opportunity would I ever have to try water polo?
This is what the Kansas can offer, when treated right. Opportunities exist for students to try new things and to have fun in adventures with new friends. Meanwhile the same students are getting an education and avoiding that career in the fast food service industry.

Traffic offense places Earl in county jail
Earl, who is a forward for the Jayhawks, is scheduled to appear in court at 8:15 a.m. Sept. 8.
Kansas basketball player Lester Earl spent 50 minutes at the Douglas County jail early yesterday morning, Lawrence police said. According to the Lawrence Municipal Court, Earl had failed to appear for two traffic offenses. One was a speeding ticket, but the court would not disclose details of the second, a criminal traffic offense.
A representative from the team could not be reached for comment.
Police said that Earl was arrested on a warrant for failure to appear and was booked at 1:45 a.m. yesterday. Bond of $331.50 was paid in cash, and Earl was released at 2:35 a.m. yesterday, police said.

Manning: Traded to Bucks from the Orlando Maic
Orlando general manager John Gabriel were able to fill the needs of two franchises that appear to be headed in different directions.
"This thing came together pretty quickly," Grunfeld said. "We're excited about adding some proven veterans to our young core."
Ellis and Manning were both acquired by the Magic in off season trades with Seattle and Phoenix, respectively, and hadn't played a game in Orlando.
Both Manning and Ellis told the Magic they were interested in playing for a contender, and Orlando may have accommodated their wishes. With a young starting five that includes Ray Allen and Glenn Robinson, the Bucks made the playoffs last season for the first time in seven years.

One of your relationships may have hit a snag recently. Today, take time to smooth things out.

Taurus: Todav is a 7. April 20 - May 20
This morning, you may remember an unusual dream you had last night. Look for the message. With the weekend coming up soon, you may be obsessed with thoughts of pleasant ways to spend it - and whom to spend it with. If you have more than one choice, pick the person who you know is better for you.
Gemini: Today is a 5. May 21 - June 21
You may feel as if you are pushing a rock uphill today, and worse, are not even appreciated for your extra efforts. This may cause you to lash out at someone who does not deserve it.

Signatures today is on 10 Nov 2021. What a day this is for power dressing, power plays, and for powerful people to take an interest in you. You are not one for currying favor, so just attribute it to your spectacular performance of late. Be prepared to wind down this evening and play it cooler.

Cornhusker fans win back tickets to Missouri game
After sending out letters last week saying the tickets wouldn't be available, Missouri officials resented Wednesday and said they would try

Many Husker fans who had paid $37 for
reserved seats were told by Missouri officials last week that the tickets were not available.
They were instead offered full refunds or the chance to purchase $15 general-admission tickets for a grassy hillside behind the north end zone.
But when Nebraskans threatened legal action, Missouri officials relented.
Jason Hayes, an assistant attorney general who heads Nebraska's consumer-protection division, asked for an explanation from Missouri officials.
Hayes received a call from Kelly Mescher, part of the Missouri's legal staff, who said they would accommodate most of the people who were told they had the tickets.
"They weren't sure that they can accommodate everyone, but they were going to try their best," he said.
Recent radio advertisements in Missouri urged Tiger fans to buy season tickets and "Stop the Red Storm!"
When Nebraska last played in Columbia in 1997, some 20,000 Husker fans were among the sellout crowd of 66,846.

"He's going to enroll in school, work with the scout team and get ready to play next year," Barnett said.
Jones signed with Barnett at Northwestern out of high school in 1996 and started at drop linebacker for the Wildcats as a redshirt freshman in 1997. He left Northwestern after the 1998 spring semester and since then has attended Los Angeles Valley College and Laney College in Oakland, Calif.
He intended to transfer to Colorado when Barnett was named coach last January.
The Buffaloes projected Jones as their starter at drop linebacker this year until the eligibility situation erupted.

Second-seed Rafter leaves tournament
INDIANAPOLIS — Patrick Rafter advanced to the quarterfinals of the RCA Championships with a 7-6 (7-5), 6-2 victory yesterday against Canadian Daniel Nestor, then withdrew from the tournament because of tendinitis in his right shoulder.
Rafter, 26, blamed the chronically sore shoulder for his sluggish start, then withdrew after meeting with his trainer and doctor.
Rafter was seeded second, behind Pete Sampras, who played later yesterday.
His withdrawal means Jan Siemerink of the Netherlands automatically advances to tomorrow's semifinals. Siemerink won 6-2, 6-3 yesterday defeating Sweden's Magnus Larsson.
Rafter's shoulder has troubled him for six weeks. The ATP's fourth-ranked player said the constant grind of the schedule had not allowed him to rest. He planned to take a forced leave at his home in Bermuda to ensure he's ready for the U.S. Open beginning Aug. 30.
The Australian is entered in next week's tournament at Long
Island, but said he won't play there either.
"I'm pulling out of here to give myself a little more time for the U.S. Open. I wanted to keep my run going. I didn't think (the shoulder) would progressively get worse and worse," Rafter said.
"I've been serving flat. I'm not serving any kick serves out there. I just serv.'"
HORSE RACING
Real Quiet breaks leg future now in doubt
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — Real Quiet, the 1998 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner, won't race again this year because of a cracked leg bone, costing the Breeders' Cup Classic yet another star.
Whether the 4-year-old colt will ever race again remains to be seen.
"There's a little crack in the splint bone in the right front leg," said trainer Bob Baffert yesterday by telephone from Del Mar, Calif.
Baffert said he'd been told the injury should heal fine, but would wait 90 days and to see how it looked. He said the horse was finished for the year.
The injury was discovered after Real Quiet worked seven furlongs Sunday morning at Santa Anita.
"There was a little filling, and X-rays showed a little crack at the top of the splint bone," he said.
Real Quiet, who won the Hollywood Gold Cup in his last start June 27, was scheduled to start next in the Pacific Classic Aug. 29 at Del Mar and in the $4 million Breeders' Cup Classic Nov. 6 at Gulfstream Park.

Look in any newspaper and you'll find sports stories describing coaches blazing the recruiting trails, searching and competing frantically for quality recruits.
For the Kansas rowing team, the process takes place in its own back yard.
Assistant coach Jennifer Myers offered potential walk-ons information about rowing tryouts yesterday in front of Strong Hall. Myers also will be on the front lawn of Strong Hall from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. today.
"We hope to have around 100 prospects sign up," Myers said. "They go through a six-week tryout program. We then keep around 25 to 30 rowers."
The Jayhawks signed three recruits with rowing experience in May. Galina Levin and Jennifer Van Ruyven of St. Catherine's, Ontario, Canada, and Sara Stuart of Severa Park, Md.
Most recruits, however, are landed as walk-ons during the first two days of school. Myers said.
Recruits come from a variety of backgrounds. Yesterday, in front of Strong Hall, some prospects who had high school experience were from Texas, Massachusetts, Wisconsin and the West Coast. Many, though, such as Hanna Dreling, Augusta sophomore, are regional prospects looking into a new sport. Drelling played volleyball throughout high school and said she wanted to get back into athletics.
"Most recruits are freshmen, but we've had a few sonhomores also." she said.
"The taller you are the better." Myers said.
"The ideal rowing height is 5-foot or taller."
Inexperienced rowers usually come from basketball and volleyball backgrounds.
"I haven’t done sports for a while and I’ve missed it," Dreling said. "I tried intramurals last year and would get frustrated because I wouldn’t have any fun."
The team will have an informational meeting at 4:30 p.m. Monday in Wagnon Student Athlete Center.
Kansas begins its rowing season Oct. 2 at the Head of the Ohio Ragdanna near Pittsburgh, Pa.

Most Big 12 stadiums receive face-lifts

Renovations at Kansas' Memorial Stadium will cost upwards of $26 million.
However, that price is small for a move that Kansas officials say will transform the 78-year-old stadium and will help football recruiting immensely.
The Jayhawks aren't the only team that thinks renovations will move its program a step ahead of the rest of the Big 12 Conference and a step toward landing bigger-name recruits.
Nine other Big 12 teams have made drastic football stadium renovations during the past five years, making the multi-million dollar overhaul of Memorial Stadium simply an effort to keep pace with the rest of the conference.
"I know we've just gotten equal to several other conference schools in terms of facilities," said Rob Bowlks, administrative assistant for Kansas football. "In the past, we were behind. We're more comparable to the best teams in the conference now."
Cross-state rival Kansas State has added 8,000 seats to Wagner Field in a $12.8 million project. Missouri is planning to replace its press box with a press-and-suite megabox to the tune of $10.5 million in time for the 200 season.
Also, conference opponents Colorado, Iowa State, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech have all have completed or have plans for major improvements sometime in the near future.
Among those teams are the five-time National Champion Nebraska Cornhuskers, who, with their 30,000 square-foot weight room and 72,700-seat stadium, are regarded as the owners of the conference's best. The Cornhusker brass just pumped $36.1 million into Nebraska's Memorial Stadium, which includes 42 skyboxes, a club seating area, a lounge and renovated concourses. Nebraska coach Frank Solich said that he hoped that the renovations would give Nebraska a recruiting edge and keep the Cornhuskers looking down at the rest of the Big 12.

Kent Brown, sports information director at K-State, said that the pride a university takes in such new facilities was what impressed recruits the most.

grass, but I do think that turf generally winds up on the negative side of the lists when they start to make up their minds with recruiting. I love it. I love coaching on it, and the players, for the most part, are extremely happy that we're going to be on grass."

Kansas plans the switch to grass, something seven other Big 12 teams have done, sometime in the next five years. However, fund-raising efforts must be completed in order to build a track stadium, which will lead to the track removal at Memorial Stadium and the resurfacing of the field.

Former backup is new soccer goalie
By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Pollard steps up with eye on goal
Ever since she was six years old, Betsy Pollard has dreamed of this.
Pollard, a senior goalkeeper for the Kansas women's soccer team, received the nod from Coach Mark Francis to be his starting goalie this fall.
And it almost didn't happen.
Two weeks before practice was to begin this season, Francis received a phone call from Garrity. She had decided that she didn't want to play anymore and that she would not be returning to the University.
"She let a lot of people down." Francis said. "There were a lot of people counting on her — her teammates."
Pollard has served as the backup keeper for the team since she was a freshman, when she played behind Jen Fecke. Last spring, after becoming academically ineligible, Fecke left the team and was replaced by Katie Garrity.
As the only remaining goale on the Kansas roster with game experience, Francis made Pollard his starter. He supports her in the new role.
"Betsy's been working very hard, and she's been doing an excellent job so far." Francis said. "She's taken the role very well and picked up her game and focus."
Enter Pollard.
"The kids voted her as a captain so they've obviously got a lot of confidence in her," he said.
He also is confident that the team supports his decision.
The team maintains its confidence level in Pollard, even though her game experience is minimal. Throughout the past three years she has seen action in four games logging 22 minutes of playing time. However, this isn't
"I have a good confidence in myself. If I have confidence in myself, then I believe my teammates will have confidence in me."
Betsy Pollard Kansas goalkeeper
"I've been in a lot of game situations in club and high school." Pollard said. "I train just like all the other keepers did, and on a lot of days, we have scrimmages, so I get a lot of game experience at practice. I think I'm ready to take the challenge."
a concern to Pollard.
Also contributing to her teammates' confidence may be Pollard's self-belief.
Since gaining the starting role, Pollard has shown much improvement on the field.
"I have a good confidence in myself," Pollard said. "If I have confidence in myself, then I believe my teammates will have confidence in me."
"Her confidence level and her ability in goal has doubled," said Kelly Miller, goalkeeper coach. "She's really come through for us."
Pollard realizes the opportunity she's been given and plans to make the most of it.
"It's my time to shine right now, so I have to go out there and give it everything I have," Pollard said. "I've never been given an opportunity as big as this one, so I've got to take advantage of it."
Pollard still has some adversity to overcome.
"Athletic-wise, she's not as strong as most of her counterparts that are going to be in goal," Miller said.
What she lacks in athleticism
she makes up for in other wavs.
"Character-wise, and her ability and heart for never giving up, by far exceeds and takes care of that deficit of athletic ability." Miller

said. "I've been really happy with her."
Francis agreed.
"She's a great role model," Francis said. "In the weight room she works very hard. She's very enthusiastic about what she's doing. She portrays that very well in how she carries herself and how she plays."
"She's ready now," Miller said. "I have all the confidence in her right now."
Pollard said her goal was to lead her team to the Big 12 Conference tournament in San Antonio.
Pollard is ready to be a starter, Miller said.
"It'd mean the world to me," Pollard said. "I don't even know how to put it into words. It'd be the greatest feeling ever. It'd just be everything I've waited for."

Houston Comets star dies at age 32
The Associated Press
HOUSTON — Kim Perrot, the popular Houston Comets point guard often described as the heart and soul of the two-time WNBA champions, died Thursday of lung cancer. She was 32.
Perrot died peacefully with friends and family by her side at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, the team said.
Perrot, who was diagnosed with lung cancer on Feb. 19, had been seeking alternative treatment in Mexico after undergoing surgery Feb. 24 to remove tumors in her brain, where the cancer had spread.
The Comets were in Los Angeles on Thursday preparing for Friday night's game against the Los Angeles Sparks.
Her condition worsened during her second trip to Tijuana, Mexico, where she had been receiving alternative treatment. She returned to Houston last Saturday.
COMETS
Perrot, who was a native of Lafayette, La., arrived in Houston three years ago, fresh off the professional women's circuit in Europe.
She was signed as a developmental player for the fledgling Women's National Basketball Association franchise in Houston.
Despite her 5-foot-5 frame, Perrot quickly became a starter and crowd favorite noted for ferocious play that helped the Comets win championships in 1997 and 1998, the WNBA's inaugural seasons.
Last year, Perrot averaged 8.5 points and 4.7 assists with 84 steals in 30 regular-season games and was second in voting for WNBA defensive player of the year.
In the off season, Perrot began suffering headaches. After conducting several tests, doctors delivered the startling diagnosis of lung cancer for Perrot, a non-
smoker. The cancer already had spread to her brain when it was detected.
After brain surgery, Perrot entered radiation treat attack tumors in be head
After brain surgery, Perlman ment to attack tumors in her head. She went to Mexico for alternative medical procedures rather than submit to chemotherapy prescribed by her Houston doctors.
Perrot played four seasons at Southwestern Louisiana. She scored 58 points against Southeastern Louisiana in 1990, the second-highest total in NCAA history.
Perrot set 26 school records including the career scoring mark of 2,157 points.
WNBA
Despite her illness, Perrot made about 100 public appearances as a motivational speaker, often at schools.
Track community skeptical of tests
The Associated Press
SEVILLE, Spain — Primo
Nebilo seldom, mines words
With drug scandals stealing headlines on the eve of his sport's showcase event, the International Amateur Athletic Federation chief called doping a "moral cancer" that should be cured through the diffusion of a culture of honesty in sport.
"One thing I particularly want to underline," the 76-year-old Italian said. "No one can give us lessons on this matter. Our intransigence is total and goes back a long way."
The latest shock came Wednesday when 39-year-old Jamaican sprinter Merlene Ottey withdrew from the World Championships after testing positive for the steroid Nandrolone. Nebiolou admitted it was uncertain whether Ottey had committed a doping offense or whether there had been some mistake.
In the last month, Cuba's Javier Sotomayor, Britain's Linford Christie and American Dennis Mitchell also have seen their careers tarnished by positive tests.
Morocco's Hicham El Guer-
"I don't understand that in a few days four of the biggest stars in athletics were tested positive," he said. "I'm surprised and I hope there's something wrong with the analysis or something like that."
rouij, the defending world 1,500-meter champion and mile world record-holder, is hoping the tests are flawed.
American sprinter Maurice Greene, the world recordholder at 100 meters, called for blood testing at next year's 2009 Sydney Olympics.
"I would say the best thing to
i=e… to take blood," Greene said. "That's going to be the best thing to do. I can't wait until that time comes."
World 200-meter recordholder Michael Johnson was highly skeptical when asked whether he had confidence in the testing process.
"I have confidence in God and my parents," he said. "That's about the extent of what I have confidence in."
"This is a scary thing," said American 400-meter runner Jerome Young. "They need to do more research. I think there was something wrong with the machine. There are too many athletes going down."
Elliott recovers, talks of return
The Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — Sean Elliott was tired Thursday, three days after his kidney transplant, but he said he otherwise was doing well and might return to the NBA champion San Antonio Spurs.
"I feel like I'm doing great," he said. "I'm a little tired. But other than that, I'm just excited. I just want to enjoy life, that's for sure."
Appearing in public for the first time since receiving his brother's kidney, Elliott thanked well-wishers from around the world who have sent flowers, cards and e-mail messages.
Doctors performed the transplant at the hospital Monday.
Elliott wore a golf shirt and warm-up pants while sitting in a wheelchair beside family members as he spoke with reporters in the lobby of Methodist Specialty and Transplant Hospital.
Elliott's 32-year-old brother, Noel Elliott, donated one of his kidneys, which was immediately implanted in Elliott's body.
“It’s been hard, kind of, to move,” Elliott said. “My brother gave me a giant kidney, so I’ve got this extra lump in here and it’s a little different. But it’s working really good.”
Elliott, 31, a 10-year NBA veteran who helped lead San Antonio to its first NBA title in June, needed the transplant because of a disease called focal segmental glomerular sclerosis. Doctors don't know what causes the illness, which prevents the kidneys from properly filtering waste from the blood.
Without the transplant, Elliott likely would have had to begin kidney dialysis in a matter of weeks. He said there is no way he can repay his brother for donating the kidney, which Elliott called "the greatest gift."
"I've just got to be the best brother I can and take care of what he's given to me," he said, joking that he probably would get his brother some Snurs game tickets. too
Elliott has said he would like to return to the Spurs. On Thursday, he said he hadn't thought much yet about an NBA comeback, although he didn't rule it out.
"If I feel as good and keep progressing as I have been, I'm sure I'm going to want to have a go at it. But we'll have to wait and see," he said.
This week Elliott has concentrated mostly on trying to walk around. He said he may spend some of his recovery time in Tucson, Ariz., his hometown where several family members live.
SAN ANTONIO
SPRRB
But because his doctors and treatment are in San Antonio, much of his recuperation period will be spent in Texas.
Other NBA players have called, visited or sent flowers. Karl Malone, Scottie Pippen, Detlef Schrempf and former Spurs player Vinny Del Negro have been among those offering support, Elliott said.
"Dave came by, Avery came by," Elliott said. "Avery was scared to death. I think I scared him. I had all these tubes and stuff coming out of me, so I don't think he was used to that."
David Robinson, Avery Johnson and Steve Kerr of the Spurs have visited the hospital.
Elliott urged others to follow his brother's example and become an organ donor.
"I'm just so proud of him," he said. "To be able to give a part of your body like that is just an amazing sacrifice."
'Phenomenon' aims for golds
The Associated Press
SEVILLE, Spain — Maurice Greene swaggers onto the stage like a rap star, flashbulbs popping all around him, basking in the fame that befits his status as the world's fastest man.
Greene grabs the microphone and delivers his message for the day: "Beware of the Phenomenon."
Now Greene has his sights set on another prize: three gold medals at the World Championships.
Greene is referring to himself, using a nickname that sums up the spectacular impact he has had on sprinting in the past three years, highlighted by his 100-meter world record of 9.79 seconds.
The 25-year-old American is competing in the 100, 200 and 400-meter (4 x 100) relay. Carl Lewis (1983 and 1987) and Michael Johnson (1995) are the only male athletes to win three golds at a single world.
Greene is seeking to become the first man to complete a 100-200 sprint double at the worlds, and the first at any major championship since Carl Lewis won both events at the 1984 Olympics.
The 100-meter heats are tomorrow, with the semifinals and final on Sunday. The 200 heats start Tuesday, with the semifinals Wednesday and final Friday.
"I'm just eager to get on the track and run," Greene said Thursday. "They say the track is very fast. I just want to see how fast."
In only three years of elite competition, Greene has already established himself as one of the most prolific sprinters in history.
He has broken the 10-second barrier — the standard for excellence in the 100 — 22 times, including six times this year alone. Only Namibia's Frankie Fredericks has run more sub-10 races (26), but he accomplished it during an eight-year period.
Greene entered sprinting lore June 6 in Athens, Greece, when he shattered Donovan Bailey's world record (9.84 seconds at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics) by an astounding five-hundredths of a seconds. He became the first man to run legally under 9.80 (Ben Johnson's 9.79 was erased from the books after his positive drug test at the 1988 Olympics).
While Greene looks untouchable in the 100, a gold medal in the 200 is no certainty. Greene is still learning the longer sprint and his best time this year (19.92) is behind the 19.86 run by Fredericks and Ato Boldon and the 19.87 by John Capel.
"The 200 is a challenge for Maurice," said Greene's Coach, John Smith. "It's an event he won't run a great deal, but he's real good at it. So he needs to step up in this area to become that sprinter he's always wanted to be — not only tops at the short races, but be able to go up to the furlong."
Smith said Greene had improved on and off the track since taking the '97 gold in Athens.
"He's a lot more confident in himself," Smith said. "He knows now when he puts him out there he can accomplish his goals. He's a mature competitor. He takes the sport seriously. He feels his responsibility is to carry his weight."
One of Greene's greatest assets, Smith said, is rising to the occasion at the big meets.
"He's able to push the elevator and go up to a different floor every time," Smith said. "I've seen him go higher, higher and higher. He's a wonderful architect. I'd like to know how he does it."

Redskins lure Fryar back to the field
The Associated Press
Apparently, Irving Fryar isn't satisfied just talking to football players. The 36-year-old receiver has turned in his microphone for a helmet and pads.
Fryar, a 15-year veteran with New England, Miami and Philadelphia, has agreed to terms with the Washington Redskins and will leave his television reporting job.
The wide receiver retired last December following the Eagles' season and has been working as a football analyst at WPVI-TV in Philadelphia.
Fryar, who signed yesterday, could be in uniform for the Redskins' exhibition game by tonight.
Luring Fryar back on to the field has been in Washington's plans for months, and negotiations intensified in recent weeks.
WPVi sports director Gary Papa said Fryar agreed on Tuesday to come back, left for Washington on Wednesday and had a physical and tryout scheduled at Redskin Park yesterday.
Fryar, a five-time Pro Bowl selection, originally decided against playing anywhere else because it would mean moving his family. After failing to meet performance incentives needed
for a contract extension with the Eagles, he became a free agent.
"I won't change my mind. I'm done. I am done." Fvrar said after last season.
Terms of the agreement were not available. Neither Fryar nor his agent, Michael George, were available for comment. Redskins director of player personnel Vinny Cerrato only would say that the Redskins were in negotiations with the receiver.
Fryar, who will turn 37 next month,
caught 46 passes for 556 yards with the
Eagles last season. He last made the
Pro Bowl in 1997, when he had 86 receptions
for Philadelphia.
Broncos
Free safety Tori Noel was diagnosed with a herniated disc, an injury that might be career threatening. The team said surgery would keep Noel out for the year, if not longer.
The 24-year-old Noel collided with running back Olandis Gary at practice. He was motionless on his back and remained that way as team trainer Steve Antonopulos and his staff attended to him. He was later taken away by ambulance.
No paralysis was involved.
New York added to its receiving corps
NFL Roundup
with the signing of Quinn Early. The 12-year veteran has caught 454 passes in a 12-year career and will compete with Dedric Ward and Dwight Stone for a spot behind starters Keyshawn Johnson and Wayne Chretb.
Early played for Buffalo for the last three years following stints with the Chargers and Saints.
The Jets training camp at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y., is only about 10 miles from where Early attended high school in Great Neck. Giants
Giants
His return was brief, but Mark Collins decided to call it a career where he started. Collins, a cornerback on the Giants' two Super Bowl championship teams, re-signed with the club for the purpose of announcing his retirement.
Collins, who played nine games with Seattle last season, wanted to end his 13-year career with his original team.
A second-round draft pick from Cal State-Fullerton in 1986, Collins played eight seasons with the Giants. He started on both of their Super Bowl teams and was in the starting lineup
for 104 of his 112 games with New York. Collins also played three seasons with Kansas City and one each with Green Bay and Seattle. In 168 career games, he had 749 tackles, 27 interceptions and three touchdowns, two on interceptions and one on a fumble recovery.
Bears
Collins is the third member of the Super Bowl teams who re-signed to retire as a member of the Giants. Center Bart Oates and defensive tackle Leonard Marshall did the same.
Chicago signed linebacker Antony Jordan after releasing veterans Andre Collins and Jim Schwartz.
Jordan, waived by the Indianapolis Colts earlier this week, started three games last season and had 27 tackles. The 6-foot-2, 239-pound linebacker, who also plays on special teams, was selected in the fifth round of the 1998 draft.
Schwantz, who returned to the Bears last season after playing in Dallas and San Francisco, was one of just two current Bears who played for Mike Ditka, Dave Wannstedt and Dick Jauron. The linebacker played in all 16 games last season and led Chicago with 23 special teams tackles.
Bengals draft pick still holding out on signing deal
The Associated Press
Rookie quarterback Akili Smith has missed so much of Cincinnati's training camp in his contract holdout that he is unlikely to be of much use this season, Bengals quarterback Jeff Blake savs.
Smith, Cincinnati's top draft choice, would be Blake's backup if he signs. But he is missing practice time needed to learn the Bengals' offense, Blake said.
"He could come in and play, but I don't think he could be productive," Blake said of Smith. "He could get'

"It took me two years to lear his offense," said Blake, a Pro Bowl starter after his 1995 season with Cincinnati.
said of Smith. "He could get by on athletic ability, but that will only take you so far ... That's why they have training camp."
The Bengals have failed in their latest effort to sign Smith, the former Oregon star.
Management and Smith's agent, Leigh Steinberg, are at odds about how Smith would earn his money. The Bengals say they have offered a six-year deal for nearly $45 million. Under that proposal, Smith would average $4.7 million per year for six years if he participates in 55 percent of the plays and, as the contract progresses, has thrown for 2,500 yards in two of the three prior seasons.
Bengals president Mike Brown said Smith's side didn't like the performance requirements.
"They find that absurd, and we find that more absurd that they look at it like that," Brown said. "They want us to give everything to their guy. We want him to earn some of it."
Steinberg said he had sent a series of proposals to the Bengals in an attempt to close the deal.
Former NFL player killed by police had drugs in system
The Associated Press
SAN DIEGO — Former NFL player Demetrius DuBose had the drug Ecstasy, cocaine and alcohol in his blood when he was fatally shot by police who suspected him of burglarizing a Mission Beach home last month.
But an autopsy report released Wednesday also shows that police shot him 11 times, mostly in the back and stomach.
"The report doesn't say he was under the influence of drugs," said Brian Watkins, an attorney for the DuBose family. "But regardless, nothing justified him being shot multiple times in the back."
The autopsy report, usually a public record, was sealed while the San Diego Police Department conducted an internal investigation into the July 24 shooting, said Lloyd Amborn, a representative for the San Diego County Medical Examiner's office.
Amborn said the office decided to make the document public after police investigators Tuesday submitted their report to the district attorney's office, which investigates all police shootings resulting in injury or death.
The blood tests revealed only a trace of alcohol — about the equivalent of one beer — in DuBose's system the night he was killed, but there was a significant amount of cocaine, a stimulant, and Ecstasy, a methamphetamine-type drug that can cause hallucinations, according to the report.
He likely had ingested cocaine a few hours before the shooting and Ecstasy up to a day earlier, said Dwight Reed, forensic toxicology manager for the San Diego County Medical Examiner's office.
He could only guess at the effect the combination had on DuBose's behavior and said that he didn't know anything about his tolerance level.
DuBose's family hired their own investigator and another autopsy after police initially refused to release details of his death. They thought excessive force was used because DuBose was African American.
DuBose's roommate, Randy West, had said DuBose slipped onto a neighbor's balcony for a better view of the sunset and fell asleep on a bed, which didn't indicate someone who under the influence of cocaine, Watkins said.
One of the tenants found DuBose, asked him to leave and called police, who already had received two burglary reports for the neighborhood, authorities said.
While West and DuBose were trying to resolve the situation with the neighbor, police arrived. After questioning the men, police tried to arrest DuBose. When he refused, police tried to spray him with Mace, but DuBose ran down an alley. They caught him and suffled, and then he got away again.
weapon that consists of two wooden sticks joined at the ends by a short chain or rope. That's when the officers fired.
DuBose was shot 11 times with 9millimeter guns, many of the copper-jacket bullets ricocheting throughout rather than exiting his body. the autosys showed.
When they caught him a second time, they struggled with him. He somehow managed to get the officers' nunchucku, a martial arts
He was shot five times in the chest and abdomen and six times in the back. The report didn't specify which shot was fired first, although eight were labeled fatal.
District Attorney Paul Pfingst will decide within the next few weeks whether criminal charges are warranted against the officers, representative Gayle Falkenthal said.
"The district attorney's findings don't cover personnel or disciplinary action," she said. "And nothing stops a civil lawsuit from being filed by the family."
Watkins said he would reserve a decision until the district attorney concludes his investigation.
Chief Dave Bejarano won't comment on the case until that time. either, police representative Bill Robinson said Wednesday. The officers are on administrative duty pending the outcome. Their names haven't been released.
DuBose played for Notre Dame from 1899 to 1992 and was a team captain. He was a second-round draft pick of Tampa Bay in 1993 and played four seasons with the team as a linebacker.
Coming off loss Wildcats bet on their new blood
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Jonathan Beasley says he is not bothered at the prospect of replacing the only Kansas State quarterback who beat Nebraska in 29 years.
Bishop, Eric Horton and Darnell McDonald.
Despite two heartbreaking losses that ended last season, the Wildcats seems genuinely upbeat heading into a season without Michael Bishop, Eric Hickson and
David Allen shrugs his shoulders when asked about replacing K-State's career-rushing leader.
And Aaron Lockett, when reminded that he is one of only two returning Wildcats who caught a pass last season, just grins.
C
"I have faith in the youngsters we have," said Bill Snyder, who also will be without kicker Martin Gramatica.
The Wildcats are coming
off an 11-2 season in which they had the national championship game squarely in their sights but squandered it in a double-overtime loss to Texas A&M in the Big 12 Conference title game. Three weeks later, they lost to unranked Purdue in the Alamo Bowl and saw what had been the finest season in 103 years of Kansas State football turn into one of the most bitterly disappointing.
This year, as they take their first steps toward regaining all that momentum, their biggest void is at quarterback.
In two years as a starter, Bishop walked off the field as a loser only three times. His powerful arm and legs led K-State to its finest two years, getting the Wildcats close to a national title game in the Fiesta Bowl.
Beasley, who was a backup in 1996 and 1997 and a redshirt last season, can throw about as well as Bishop but is not as quick on his feet.
He'll be competing with junior Adam Heim
"they both have some experience in our svs
tem. They've had the opportunity to play and compete for several years," Snyder said. "This will be Adam's fifth year and Jon's fourth year. Jonathan's being a backup quarterback for two of those three years, and was a redshirt the other has given him an opportunity to get a lot of reps on the practice field. What they don't have is an ample amount of playing time under stressful conditions."
A.
Beaslev said that whenever a great quarterback left, Kansas State had had somebody step in and do the job.
Beasley: Says she is not worried about replacing Bishon
The Wildcats took a big blow when running back Frank Murphy broke a bone in his foot during conditioning exercises on July 24. He could be out as long as eight weeks.
But the No. 1 running back spot was probably going to go to Allen, among the nation's most dazzling punt returners of 1998. Allen returned punts for touchdowns in three consecutive games and tied an NCAA record with four touchdown returns. He broke his own Big 12 record with 730 yards in punt returns.
"I'm really excited about this year because now at tailback I get more of an opportunity to play and see what I can do there," said Allen, who had 31 carriers last year.

Baseball
Respected umpire sure of return
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — Richie Garcia will be in Tiger Stadium on Sept. 2, working behind the plate or at one of the bases, just like he has every baseball season since 1975.
And he promises the game between the Texas Rangers and Detroit Tigers won't be his last.
"I'm not quitting. We're not quitting," said Garcia, one of 22 umpires whose resignations were accepted by baseball. "I've got in my mind that I'm going to be working Sept. 3, and if not Sept. 3, then some other time."
Fearful baseball would lock them out after their labor contract expires Dec. 31, umpires announced last month that they would quit en masse to try to force an early start to negotiations.
But the strategy backfired when their union split and 27 of the 68 umpires either refused to resign or withdrew their resignations. Baseball then hired 25 new umpires from the minors.
Garcia, a 57-year-old grandfather of four, is one of the game's most-repected umpires. He's surprised that some of the umpires being kept have less experience and lower ratings.
Garcia has earned a reputation as one of the best balls-and-strikes umpires in the league. His engaging personality has always made him popular with players, managers and fans,
some of whom best remember him for his controversial call in the 1996 AL playoffs. That's when young Jeffrey Maier reached over the right field wall in Yankee Stadium, prevented Baltimore's Tony Tarasco from s a t c h i n g Derek Jeter's drive and turned it into a home run.
.
After his name appeared on the list of umpires possibly on their way out, Garcia said he has been approached by people around the league offering kind words and advice.
"This situation has been a chance for me to realize there are people who have appreciated what I've done on the field for 25 years," he said. "Obviously, the American League doesn't appreciate it. All I heard from them was, thank you for 25 years and I hope you have a nice retirement."
That day still is years away as far as Garcia is concerned, so long as he gets to plead his case.
"I had a long visit with Richie before the game," Texas manager Johnny Oates said Wednesday night. "Don't count on him leaving just yet. This thing can get worked out where we're able to keep the good umpires."
hours each day working to make sure he and the other 21 umpires are heard. He is in constant contact with umpires and the union's lawyers, who are trying to convince the National Labor Relations Board to seek an injunction to prevent the 22 from being let go.
Garcia, vice president of the umpires' union, said he's spending 18 or 19
"We're still going to the NLRB every couple of days," Garcia said. "We're sending more and more evidence of unfair labor law practices. We're actually putting our faith in the legal system. Hopefully, we can get something negotiated before Sept. 2."
The last month's upheaval has strained relationships among some of the umpires, Garcia said. Friendships have been broken and those umpires who crawled back to baseball won't be forgotten — on his crew, Mike Reilly broke with the union leadership and Laz Diaz and Brian O'Nora agreed to become permanent replacements.
Garcia also blames baseball and the league offices for not creating a dialogue.
"There's a lot of animosity," he said. "We feel that they contributed to the firing of the 22 girls."
Garcia is holding out hope that a solution can be found before Sept. 2. He has plenty of ideas on how to fix things, Garcia just wishes management would listen.
And he's hoping the umpires who broke with the union will explain why.
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Cardinals have decided the future is now for Rick Ankiel.
Earlier in the season, general manager Walt Jocketty said he was not going to rush Ankiel, a second-round draft pick in 1997 who turned 20 last month but has one of the most promising arms in baseball. Then he went 6-0 with an 0.91 ERA at Double-A Arkansas, and they promoted him to Triple-A Memphis.
After watching Ankiel throw six innings where there was only one-hit ball Monday, Jockeyt had seen enough that he can't wait for September to bring him up with the rest of the minor-league callups. Ankiel, who was 7-3 with a 3.1 ERA in 16 starts for Memphis, will make first major league start Tuesday night at
Cardinals bring up rookie pitcher
offers
"The last few days, we decided to kind of speed the process up a little." Jackett said.
Jockety said the main reason Ankiel was getting an earlier look-see was because the rotation was shy one member after Jose Jimenez, who had been a disappointment aside from his no-hitter and two-hitter against Randy Johnson, was demoted Tuesday.
ST LOUIS
CARDINALS
"We talked about it at length with our minor-league personnel after I saw him pitch," Jocketty said. "We just decided since we were making the change with Jimenez, we would bring Rick up now and give him an opportunity."
It's no coincidence that Ankiel's debut will come on the road, to cut down on pressure. A bonus is it's coming in Montreal, one of the least baseball-savvy cities.
Ankiel, who signed for $2.5 million straight out of high school, had 119 strikeouts in 88-1-3 innings at Memphis. Last year, he had 222 strikeouts at Peoria and Prince William, both Class A teams, leading all minor leaguers.
"He's really going to get too much attention," said manager Tony La Russia. "But I'm really going to be oblivious, and so will (pitching coach) Dave Duncan to popular opinion.
we're going to watch this young man and do
"what's beef for him."
La Russia said that depending upon how Ankiel pitched would determine if Ankiel stayed with the team.
Ankiel will be the Cardinals' youngest pitcher to make his debut since Al Hrabsky also broke in at age 20 in 1970.
"We've got 25-year-olds playing and their first couple times out it's a little shaky playing in front of 40,000 people," reliever Rick Croushore said. "But he's got a good head on his shoulders, and if he stays calm and does what he has to do, I think he'll be all right."
Another top prospect, infielder Adam Kennedy, will join the team today in New York. Kennedy, 23, was the team's No.1 draft pick in 1997, and he batted .329 with 10 home runs, 62 RBIs and 18 steals in 89 games at Memphis.
Kennedy also played for the United States's silver medal-winning team in the Pan American Games last month.
"I'd be surprised if he doesn't hit in the big leagues," Jockett said. "He's hit everywhere he's played. He deserves to come up here and show what he can do."

Chancellor Hemenway and Provost Shulenburger have approved exceptions for alcohol to be served at events in several buildings across campus, Illustration by Jason Williams/ KANSAN
Alcohol finds its way on campus
(USPS 650-640)
By Matthew Friedrichs Special to the Kansan
Dinner, drinks and a speaker — the annual Kansas Political Science Association meeting held in November was no different from thousands of conferences.
But the drinks at the event attended by political science professors from universities across the state and from nearby schools such as the University of Missouri Kansas City were served at the Centennial room in the Kansas Union.
The political science meeting was one of more than 100 events for which Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Provost David Shulenburger approved applications to serve alcohol last year.
Paul Schumaker, professor of political science, helped arrange the event.
"It's simply an expectation," Schumaker said. "We're well beyond the point where Kansas is a dry state. We're talking about adults. No one is getting drunk."
And while the events approved by Hemenway and Shulenburger were only a handful of the thousands of presentations, lectures, dinners and receptions on campus, they were conspicuous for two reasons.
First, KU officials made an effort to change student alcohol consumption on Mount Oread, ending the sale of beer in the Kansas Union in November, sending a letter reiterating the University's zero-tolerance policy to students who live in the residence halls, and announcing a $450,000 Kansas Health Foundation grant and associated public relations campaign to curb binge drinking by students in February.
Second, at the same time KU
officials began implementing the new alcohol policies, construction on a new press box, complete with luxury or "scholarship" suites in which alcohol can be served, began in November after the final home football game.
"In a real sense, the issue is not alcohol — the issue is drunkenness." Hemenway said.
He and other University officials defend the on-campus events, saying they are controlled. Union catering employees trained as bartenders must serve the alcohol. Alcohol is not sold. Relatively small amounts of
See CHANGING on page 6A
alcohol are served and an hour and a half is allocated for alcohol service.
"It's different from a bar scene, and it's very different from a group who have demonstrated a significant number of people developing poor habits," said David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs.
An analysis of the records kept by the Provost's office for events scheduled between July 1, 1998 and June 30, 1999 shows that Hemenway and Shulenburger approved 68 applications by 31
members of the Student Executive Committee of Student Senate disagree. In June, they voted unanimously for a resolution that condemns the University for addressing student alcohol issues but allowing alcohol in the new press box.
"It's not the alcohol we desire, it is the hypocrisy we deplore," said the resolution written by Partha Mazumdar, Pittsburgh, Penn., graduate student, and Marlon Marshall, St. Louis junior.
But the press box is only the newest space on campus where alcohol can be served.
KU employee stabbed in fight on Ohio Street
By Katie Haller
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A 25-year-old man remains in custody of charges of attempted voluntary manslaughter after allegedly stabbing a University of Kansas employee early Saturday morning, the Douglas County Sheriff Office said.
The suspect, a transient in Douglas County jail records, allegedly stabbed Lawrence resident Aron Guthrie multiple times following a fist fight shortly after midnight at 12th and Ohio Streets.
Andrea Angelo, Topea junior,
was walking down 12th Street
toward Ohio Street when she saw
the squabble.
Angelo said she saw Guthrie and the suspect viling and fighting. She said it looked like a random fight, and the two men did not appear to know each other. She said she could see the knife in the suspect's hand.
When Guthrie yelled for backup, the suspect and his friends started getting into their car, Angelo said. Guthrie ran toward the car, she said, and punched out the driver's side window.
Angelo said the suspect then exited the car, brandishing his knife and shouting that he was going to cut Guthrie. Angelo then ran to get help.
Scene of the Crime
"There were cops everywhere, so I didn't think anything would happen."
Police were already in the area; there were several parties in the 1100 block of Ohio Street, including one at 1147 Ohio St. Angelo was not sure whether the two men were attending any of the parties.
Angelo said the next thing she saw was the police attending to the victim in the yard of 1147 Ohio St.

Ashford Galbath, Detroit
sophomore, saw Guthrie being
loaded into the ambulance.
"He looked pretty bad," he said. "He wasn't getting up."
Guthrie was treated at Lawrence Memorial Hospital and transferred to an undisclosed facility. His condition was unknown last night.
On-scene police officers quickly apprehended the suspect. He was initially arrested on charges of attempted second-degree murder, but prosecutors filed the attempted voluntary manslaughter charge Saturday afternoon. Deputy Ryan Robinson said he remained in jail yesterday on a $50,000 cash or surety bond.
Guthrie is employed by the University at the Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin dining center. Nona Golledge, assistant director of the Student Housing Dining Department, said Guthrie had been hired within the last month.
"We certainly hope he gets better as soon as he can," Golledge said. "We'd like him to come back to work soon."

Man's body discovered in river
By Katie Hollar writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The Douglas County Sheriff's office hopes to confirm today the identity of the man found in the Kansas River Friday morning.
Although identification was found on the body, the sheriff's office will not release the victim's name until they are certain. Lt. Don Crowe said. A friend of the man was unable to provide a positive identification this weekend. The sheriff's office aims to affirm identity with dental records today.
The Douglas County Sheriff's office, Lawrence Police Department and Lawrence Fire and Medical Departments responded to the call. The body was retrieved at 12:10 p.m. The victim was described as being in his early 20's and was wearing a striped T-shirt and cutoff shorts. Officials were not certain how long he had been in the river.
At 9:20 Friday morning, employees at Bowersock Mills & Power Co. called 911 when they discovered the corpse of a young white male floating in an intake grate.

Sorority recruitment releases 30 women
By Lori O'Toole
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
About 30 women were released from the sorority recruitment process this year, compared to the usual average of 10.
The sorority system received 652 new members Saturday, marking the end of the week-long recruitment process. However, the women who were released still have a chance to join a sorority through the open recruitment process — continuous open bidding — that starts this week.
Taylor Gill, vice president of recruitment for the Panhellenic Association, said more women were released this year than any other year since she had been tracking rush figures. She said the numbers were higher because of the loss of a chapter. Alpha Xi Delta closed its doors this summer.
"Traditionally that chapter had asked back more women than other chapters," Gill said. "Definitely in the last couple years the release rate has not been this high."
Bill Nelson, director of greek programs, said there were 52 more new members this year than last year and 82 more than two years ago, despite there being one fewer chapter
Nelson said 11 houses met quota, which is the maximum allowable number of new
Nelson said that though the quota was 52, a house could have accepted 55 new members if they used quota addition, a process encouraged by the National Panhellenic Association to reduce the number of women who, at the conclusion of bid matching, were left unmatched.
members a chapter can accept.
Nelson said there were as many as three sorority houses that did not have 140 members after Saturday's new members.
Nelson, who would not disclose the names of the chapters, said the houses were able to continue informal recruitment, beginning at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, to gain new members.
Nelson said the increased number reflected a higher retention rate of participating women.
He said each house determined its own informal recruitment schedule.
This year, 145 women withdrew compared to 249 last year, he said.
"I think it goes back to the quality of the recruitment counselors," he said. "I'm extraordinarily pleased."
Meg Godderz, graduate assistant for the greek community, said there were several
Tricia Fairchild, recruitment counselor and Topeka junior, said that at times it was difficult to persuade women to maximize their options by considering joining a house other than the one they most preferred.
changes in the training and selection of the 52 recruitment counselors who worked with the women last week.
She said the counselor positions were open to all junior and senior women in the greek community, instead of just those nominated by their houses.
"It was probably the strongest group of recruitment counselors we've had," Godderz said.
She said the counselors also emphasized the importance of keeping an open mind about the potential of joining any chapter.
"Just being in a house is great coming in as a freshman because it gives you an opportunity to meet a lot of people," she said. "It makes the campus a little smaller, too."
"Recruitment can be a very stressful time," she said. "It's tough to convince the women that it will be OK if they don't make the house their mom or their friends wants them to make."

With commercialization and violence rampant in the world, says Luciano, righteousness is the only salvation. And music unites.
Kansan staff writer
"We want to be missionaries and messengers and people who try to use their music to create unity," Luciano said. "If we can, we want to inspire people. If we can be a source of inspiration, if we can acknowledge the wickedness that has been handed to the people, we acknowledge it, and we see all these things, and we know that righteousness is the only way out of this quagmire of deception we are in."
Luciano, who will play with Mikey General, Dean Fraser, Firehouse Crew and the Earth Healer Dancers at 9 p.m. tonight at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts Street, said he just wants to unify unity.
Artist just wants to inspire unity
Dubbed the 'return of Bob Marley' by *Time* magazine, some say Luciano's music signals the resurrection of reggae from dormancy.
By Emily Hughey
The deception of which Luciano, a native of Davyton, Jamaica, speaks is the negativity, violence and sacrilege he said he thought were indigenous to society.
While Dave Clark, director of operations at Friends of Reggae International in Kansas City, Mo., said the nature of reggae is to unite people of diverse cultures, both he and Luciano said they had seen the decline and commercialization of the genre in recent years.
"Reggae has been through a lot. For a minute there, everything went dormant for a while. In the sixties, that was when the music was more effective," Clark said. "Then, after Bob Marley's death, the music started to get watered down. It started losing its potency."

KU faculty suprised with Kemper awards
Three more faculty members received $5,000 checks and surprise visits from Provost David Shulenburger during their classes Friday.
Ron Francisco, professor of political science and Russian and East European studies; Allen Ford, professor of business; and James R. "Pete" Shortridge, professor of geography, were awarded W.T. Kemper Fellowships for Teaching Excellence.
Jim Martin, president of the Kansas University Endowment Association, and Mark Gonzales, community president of Commerce Bank, were also present when the awards were handed out.
The W.T. Kemper Foundation donated $250,000 to the University of Kansas to reward teachers and advisers. The Endowment Association matched the amount, enabling the University to award $100,000 during five years.

Eleven faculty members have now received their awards and checks. The surprise patrol will make visits today to other faculty and will wrap up the tour Aug. 24, 25 and 31, when they travel to the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City and to the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita.
The awards recognize outstanding teachers and advisers as determined by a seven-member selection committee.

FBI looks into possible theater terrorism
MERRIAM—The FBI is investigating the smoke bombing of a Merriam movie theater over the weekend as a terrorist incident.
The incident probably is related to about a dozen similar incidents elsewhere in the country, FBI spokesman Jeff Lanza said Saturday.
About 1,000 people were evacuated from the 20-screen Cinemark theater complex Friday night after someone ignited two crude smoke bombs that emitted noxious fumes — possibly chlorine gas — in and near one theater.
Lanza said the bombs consisted of two 20-ounce drink cups that had been filed with chemicals and then set on fire.
The bombs were not designed to explode and no one was injured.
Lanza said the technique and the bombs resembled those found over the last couple of months at theaters in Dallas, Chicago; Joliet, Ill.; and in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and Wisconsin.
Similar devices also were found at Cinemark corporate offices in Plano, Texas, and at some theaters owned by Kansas City's AMC Entertainment Inc.
Lanza said the bombers seem to be focusing on newer multiplex theaters. He said he knew of no serious injuries at other theaters.

Hurricane hits Texas misses coastal cities
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Hurricane Bret, the biggest storm to hit Texas in nearly 20 years, roared ashore Sunday with horizontal sheets of rain and 1.25-mph winds that whipped and bent palm trees and forced thousands of people to flee inland.
The rapidly developing storm made landfall about 6 p.m. in sparsely populated Kenedy County, about 70 miles south of Corpus Christi.
Businesses and homes were shuttered from Brownsville to north of Corpus Christi, and highways leading inland were packed with bumper-to-bumper traffic for miles.
Forecasters warned about tornadoes spawned by the storm, a foot or more of rain and a storm surge that could approach 25 feet.
"The good news is that the core of the hurricane ... is not over the more populated areas," said Max Mayfield of the National Hurricane Center.
Sagan biography reveals scientist's passion for pot
SAN FRANCISCO—The late astronomer and author Carl Sagan was a secret but avid marijuana smoker, crediting it with inspiring essays and scientific insight, according to Sagan's biographer.
Using the pseudonym "Mr. X," Sagan wrote about his pot smoking in an essay published in the 1971 book "Reconsidering Marijuana." The book's editor, Lester Grinspoon, recently disclosed the secret to Sagan's biographer, Keav Davidson.
Davidson, a writer for the San Francisco Examiner, revealed the marijuana use in an article published in the newspaper's magazine Sunday. "Carl Sagan: A Life" is due out in October.
"I find that today a single joint is enough to get me high ... in one movie theater recently I found I could get high just by inhaling the cannabis smoke which permeated the theater," wrote Sagan, who authored popular science books such as "Cosmos," "Contact," and "The Dragons of Eden."
In the essay, Sagan said marijuana inspired some of his intellectual work.
"I can remember one occasion, taking a shower with my wife while high, in which I had an idea on the origins and invalidities of racism in terms of gaussian distribution curves," wrote the former Cornell University professor. "I wrote the curves in soap on the shower wall, and went to write the idea down."
Sagan died of pneumonia in 1996. He was 62.

North Korean press criticizes war games
TOKYO—Military exercises between the United States and South Korea show the two allies' rising militarism, making a second Korean War "unavoidable." North Korea said yesterday.
America and South Korea have been conducting war games to simulate a coordinated response to a North Korean invasion as part of their annual joint military exercises.
"The United States and South Korea are in a belligerent relationship," said an editorial in the Rodong Shinmun, the newspaper of the North's ruling Workers' Party, monitored in Tokyo by the RadioPress News Agency. "A second Korean War has become unavoidable."
The two Koreas fought a war from 1950-53, after the peninsula was divided into the communist North and capitalist South following the 1945 liberation from Japanese colonial rule.
The United States keeps 37,000 troops in South Korea under a defense treaty.

Safety office gets computers adds to staff

The Public Safety Office is aiming at getting rid of its paper trail within the next five years.
Sgt. Troy Maileen said that the office still needed two additional officers, but that he expected the positions to be filled by next year.
The new computer system is part of a series of improvements to the office during the next several months, such as $30,000 worth of laptops for patrol cars and last salver's hire of a new public safety officer.
With the help of a grant it received last spring, the office is installing a computer-based Record Management System to file reports with.
"One of the most significant additions was the hiring of Shawn Reynolds, a new public safety officer, April 26, to help patrol the KU campus," he said. "Reynolds has already went through his academy and in-house training, but he still had 11 weeks of field training with a shift sergeant before he can patrol the campus on his own."
A $22,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Justice COPS office made the purchase the five new laptops possible.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey said the short-term goal was to make the paper trail more efficient, but the main goal was to put everything on the computer system within the next five years.
"Going paperless' just makes everyone's job a little easier than before." Bailey said. "Now that officers will just have to go and download their reports into the computer, then they will have more time to spend patrolling the streets."
"This breath tester is a newer model that actually has a computer memory to record the time and the level of a person's blood alcohol level," Mailen said. "It can store up to 50 separate tests and helps the officers to judge the time between the preliminary observation period and the administering of the test, which is supposed to be 15 minutes."
The office also purchased a new preliminary breath tester to help officers better judge the intoxication levels of suspected drunk drivers.
The office will also hire a student to help create and maintain new Web site.

University joins coalition based in service learning
By Clay McCuistion
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas is joining Campus Compact, a national coalition of universities dedicated to learning through community service.
The Providence, R.I.-based Campus Compact provides resources for its 620 member universities and their leaders. A $2,500 membership fee gives the University the chance to apply for grants, access syllabi for courses incorporating community service and interact with other member universities.
"The chancellor really is making a commitment to Kansas, to service learning, to community service, to all those ideals," said E.J. Reedy, co-director of Center for Community Outreach. "He's actually doing something about what he's been talking about the last couple of years."
Chancellor Robert Hemenway set serving Kansas as one of his Initiative 2001 priorities. Service learning is an important part of Hemenway's plan.
"I firmly believe that a public university has a responsibility to make life better for the citizens who support it," Hemenway said. "It seemed to me to be self-evident that we ought to go on and do it."
Reedy, Topeka junior, cautioned that simple membership in the organization wasn't enough.
"That's definitely a great opportunity. But you have to have the support institutionally to go after things like these grants." Reedy said.
Christina Harms, the other Center for Community Outreach Director, said that a center for service learning was needed on campus. The center could help apply for grants and coordinate service activities through the University.
"That could really enable more professors to become involved." Harms, Wichita junior, said.
Hemenway said more resources might be allocated for service, but only if interest was shown by students.
Both CCO directors and the Chancellor agreed that service learning provided a valuable supplement to classroom education.
"Working with the community directly enhances your learning experience," Harms said. "I definitely

see that as something that will be part of our role in upcoming years."
Marylee Southard, associate professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, created a service learning class in 1983. Engineering Communication to NonTechnical Populations takes engineering students into local grade schools, where they help teach science.
Southard said both the elementary school students and college students were pleased with the experience.
"The students have raved about it," she said. "The KU students have said they really hated to leave at the end of the class and that it was really hard to leave at the end of the semester."
Southard said that service learning had practical, as well as philanthropic applications.
"It's definitely a skill that can be used in the workplace and community," she said. "This is a concept that can be applied to many disciplines"
The notion of serving the university didn't start with Hemenway's initiative. Southard said.
As a public university, KU should try to help the community around it."
Library opens Darwin exhibit after decision
By Amanda Kaschube
Kansan staff writer
As a reaction to the Kansas State Board of Education's ruling against teaching evolution in schools, the Spencer Research Library opened a Charles Darwin exhibit last week.
The exhibition features artifacts related to evolutionary topics highlighted by Darwin, the father of the theory of evolution.
William Crowe, Spencer librarian, said that the board's ruling opposed all of Darwin's principles.
"We thought it was important to call attention to the issue," he said. "We have the resources here for others to use."
The exhibit, entitled "Is Man an Ape or an Angel?" contains a copy of Darwin's 1859 book called "On the Origin of Species," which is one of 1,250 originally published. There are 100 copies in the United States.
"It looks just like an ordinary book but the ideas inside changed the world," Crowe said. "It is not a commonly held book."
The exhibit also includes a portrait of Darwin, a letter written by Darwin to James E. Todd, who was on the geology staff at the University of Kansas from 1907 until his death in 1922, and a copy of Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee's play, "Inherit the Wind."
"Darwin's theories changed with research," Crowe said. "As he got new information, he kept building and adding. That's evolution at its core."
The library also created a Web site (www.ukans.edu/-spencer/exhibits/darwin/darwin.html) that includes everything in the library exhibit. Crowe said that there were an increased number of hits at the site late last week.
Courtney Rowland, Wichita junior, has taken several biology classes at the University. She said that the exhibit would persuade those who didn't think in Darwin's theories were true.
"I think it's vital to learn evolution," she said. "There

are so many things we can't explain through religion. I don't understand the board's decision."
Crowe said that exhibits at the University were not one-sided. Several bibles were on display at Watson Library this summer to inform students.
The exhibit's title comes from a quote by former British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli. Responding to the idea of evolution, Disraeli voiced his opposition by saying, "Is man an ape or an angel? Now I am on the side of angels."
Crowe said that he wanted students to come read Darwin so they could draw conclusions for themselves.
"This topic requires some light to be shed on it," he said. "We have some of the best information at KU. We can bring the world to Kansas."

rounded by people who care."
Men and women at the University of Kansas have many resources to battle sexual assault—an act which occurs most frequently during the fall semester.
"Students are most vulnerable to being attacked during times of transition," said Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director for the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center.
Sarah Jane Russell, executive director of the Douglas County Rape Victim-Survivor Service, also wants students to be aware of sexual assault issues.
"The crime of sexual assault is very real, and it happens in the student community," she said. "I don't say that to make anyone fearful of the campus, but it is important that they know it can happen. If it happens, students need to know they are sur-
She said there were several myths about sexual assault. One was that women think that it couldn't happen to them, that it happens to a particular kind of person.
She said another myth was that it was easy to recognize situations that could lead to sexual assault.
She said the most problematic misconception about sexual assault was that it was justified for a woman to be raped who was intoxicated, wearing certain clothes or at a certain party.
Kansas law states that a woman is unable to consent to sex if she is physically impaired due to drug or alcohol consumption, Montgomery said. The law considers sex under these circumstances rape.
RVSS provides services to survivors of sexual assault, including a pool of volunteers who serve as advocates. RVSS advocates provide survivors of sexual assault
emotional support and information.
Sally Puleo, Chicago senior and women's studies major, is an advocate.
Advocates are available 24 hours a day to accompany a rape victim to the hospital or police station. They can explain medical and legal procedures and answer questions.
All information received by RVSS is confidential, and a woman does not have to report her case to the police if she doesn't wan. However, when police respond to rape or assault cases they inform the victim than an RVSS advocate is available if desired.
During her shifts, Puleo carries a pager. If a rape victim calls KU Info or Headquarters Counseling Center his or her call will be forwarded to Puleo. Often the advocate meets the person at the emergency room, but Puleo said that every call would be handled differently, depending on the

"I want to be in a position to make women not feel like it is a secret they can't tell," she said.
The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center conducts educational workshops to raise students' awareness of sexual assault. The center conducts one program a month in the Kansas Union, open to all students, on topics such as healthy relationships, assertiveness and sexual assertiveness, and the presentation of women in the media. The center also conducts workshops by request for student groups, classes and living organizations. Commonly-requested topics include defining rape and ways to help a rape survivor. Also discussed is awareness of sexual assault.

Senate should have made effort to fill seats before cutting them
Though the full body of the Student Senate hasn't met this fall, student executives met this summer to make decisions that affect students. Some of them were good, some were bad.
One of the best decisions Senate has made in recent memory was to move its meetings out of the Kansas Union and into places where students will be able — and much more likely — to attend and contribute their voices. The locations are as diverse as residence halls, scholarship halls, academic buildings and the KU Visitor Center.
This may prove to be an antidote to the apathy on this campus. Each year, student senators complain about the lack of student involvement — this year, they have chosen to do something about it.
However, not all of Senate's decisions
Undergrad executives need to remember grad students
have been positive.
This summer, the Student Executive Committee eliminated two seats from its ranks: the executive director of the Graduate and Professional Association and the chairman of the Graduate Executive Committee. Of these two positions, only the GradEx chairman had a vote.
Korb Maxwell, student body president, said that the two positions were eliminated because they were redundant. Because graduate students can run for and serve in any position in Senate, there was no need for the seats. Also, they had been unoccupied for as
long as any current senators could remember. Maxwell argued that Senate practices should agree with Senate rules and regulations, and the eliminated seats were not mentioned anywhere in those regulations.
The problem for Senate is one of perception. While eliminating the seats may have been within regulations, it creates the perception that Senate is run by undergraduates who only are interested in throwing their considerable weight around.
This situation could have been fixed by publicizing the presence of these graduate seats and the absence of people to fill them. Eliminating the graduate seats may have been efficient and within regulations, but the move may make graduate students feel unwelcome.
Jennifer Roush for the editorial board
Americans should have right to die
Do you have the right to die? In the Netherlands, a law soon will be passed allowing terminally ill people to kill themselves or have themselves killed. The United States should carefully watch this important and positive step.
While no one enjoys thinking about it, unbearable pain is sometimes the dominant theme at the end of people's lives. Some people find it so overwhelming that they wish to die. They are unable to enjoy a private, social or even spiritual life. In these cases, suicide or euthanasia should be permitted.
To assume that we as a society can stop it by branding it as illegal is a gross misstep. Certainly, if people can own any property at all, they own their own bodies. If they
Harshly judging individuals who wish to end unbearable pain is simply incorrect.
perceive their lives to be without worth, it is not the place of outsiders to decide otherwise. While our sense of morality and religion may lead us to try to make this decision for others, this is undesirable. Just as we cannot force others to go to the church of our choosing, we cannot force them to find meaning in a life that they perceive as painful and negative.
powerful that the body and brain only can attempt to compensate for it and perform dramatically fewer functions. To assume that individuals who wish to die are quitting or prematurely stopping something positive is incorrect. The human body and psyche only can withstand so much.
While we must, of course, value life, mercy killing does not devalue it. To acknowledge that some things are worse than death is simply to realize the truth of the power of suffering. If individuals can be given an assurance by doctors that they will die, and that before they do they will experience profound pain, it is best to let them choose their own fate.

If there were no bumper stickers I may not have known that mean people suck, girls rule, and that nice people suck. And I would have never visualized whirled peas, a thought
that really gives me hope for the future.
While all of those expressions need no further explanation, the same can't be said for all bumper stickers. For example, there are bumper stickers featuring a cartoon character peeing on a Chevrolet logo, and there are stickers of the same variety with a Ford logo absorbing the urine stream. From these I've deduced that some Ford and Chevy owners don't like each other's vehicles. I feel a little left out, because I own a Ford pickup, but none of the stickers have ever explained why I should hate Chevy trucks.
That brings me to the meat of this column. (Get it, Bubba?) That's the reason I like reading and writing for this page so much. It gives anyone who writes here a chance to tell their side of the story. If you read Friday's columns, you remember that there were two opposing views about the Kansas State Board of Education's decision not to require the teaching of macro-evolution.
The editorial board is made up of 14 students who meet twice a week, debate issues, vote and then write the Kansan's editorial position on a topic.
Both were well done, and both explained their positions well. Maybe someday a Chevy truck owner and a better-informed Ford truck owner

A new feature of the page will be our Wednesday Pass/Fail section. This section will allow the editorial board to give a quick thumbs up or down to events or people that effect our lives.

Dear Chancellor Robert Hemenway.
We came to the University at the same time, so I was able to watch you grow as our chancellor. I doubt you had the same interest in my progression as a student, but since I'm still here for a fifth year, you can probably make some solid conclusions.

As strained as our relationship is, I feel kind of odd writing this letter. But, unfortunately, one of your policies has spun out of control, and I felt it my responsibility as a journalist and tenuous friend to point that out to you.

you for a cheap laugh.
I've never really acknowledged you before, but thanks.
But then the spring before I turned 21, an interesting wrinkle came into the equation. A girl fell on Tennessee Street and someone in a car struck and killed her. Both had been drinking.
This constituted a dark day for the University. Not because one of our own was lost, but because of the possibility for bad publicity. Who wants to donate to a University that lets its students drink to the point where they endanger themselves and others?
As a freshman, I made the semi-responsible choice not to drink until I turned 21—a choice I lived up to for my college career.
Sure, there were problems, but they were the same problems that had existed for years.
Because you couldn't change the rules off-campus, you acted out on campus. It made sense
Almost as great was when Matthew Vestal, the driver who struck and killed Lisa Rosel, received his sentence: 14 days of jail served on weekends. The lesson I learned was that it was better to get caught drunk behind the wheel of a car after killing someone than it was to be caught drinking in the residence halls. What kind of consequence is spending two months' worth of weekends in jail?
Then you shut down drinking in the Jaybowl, because you wanted to send a message that alcohol is not permitted on the KU campus.
Luckily, we still can drink at your place. How is that not on campus again? Anyway, why don't I come up some Monday night and we can split a six pack and watch WWF. You're a big Stone-Cold fan, right? We could even discuss the alcohol policy during commercials.
to attack the hottest of hotbeds of binge drinking; The Jaybowl and the residence halls.
When the letters to the residence hall residents came out, I was full of questions, mostly because I was a housing staff member. The letter made some vague threats and told everyone that having alcohol was a zero-tolerance offense.
I was unsure how this was different from the old policy, and still am, mostly because a letter was sent to residents without another letter telling the staff what changed — but that was great publicity.
I'm concerned that in your attempt to solve the problem, you're exacerbating it. Part of the societal reason that we have alcohol problems is because we tell people "no."
So anyway, I wanted to point that out. To show you I hold no ill will, I want to buy you a drink, but I can't invite you over. I live in student housing.
Yours sincerely, Nick Bartkoski
Except that's a lie. What about the "scholarship" boxes at Memorial Stadium? What about the 70 other alumni-only events last year where alcohol was served?

Creationists believe in science, too

The creation scientists never stated that they wanted to teach the Bible along with science or evolutionary theory. Creation scientists, hence the name, study scientific data the same as other scientists but have come to the conclusion that a higher power was at work in creating the universe. They also bring up the numerous loopholes and unsubstantiated evidence in the Big Bang theory, evolutionary theory and fossil records. They want children to be taught

Musician wants to promote unity
Continued from page 1A
Nevertheless, Luciano's music focuses on positivity, which he said he thinks the people need right now.
"Over the time of time, only righteousness really lasts. I'm really encouraged to sing positive music because it's the only way out," Luciano said. "We have seen a degradation in the music ... Rock music has tried to make it dance hall style, and they're singing to appease themselves."
David Moskowitz, Pittsburgh, Pa., graduate student, is writing his dissertation on Bob Marley. He said that although Luciano did incorporate synthesizers into his music, the basis of his music was roots rather than commercialized dance hall.
"They do really look at Luciano as a guy who could bring roots back," Moskowitz said. He also said reggae was not innately mainstream and that Bob Marley only became as popular as he did because Eric Clapton covered Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff."
One particular performer who Clark said exemplified the self-appeasement of recent reggae artists is Shaggy, whose track Bombastic lauded his own sex appeal. Clark said he thought the reason the true creators of reggae music, like Luciano, weren't as mainstream was because the industry didn't identify with their style of music.
"We think that music is not money that makes the world go round, we think that people can relate to the beat which is the heartbeat," Clark said. "The industry and the critics could not relate to the beat. They said: 'It's only minors and major — it's only a heartbeat.'"
But the heartbeat is the foundation of reggae music. Percussion sets the base for the song, Clark said. Then add the reggae strum, or guitars, that provide the rhythm that goes along with the drum and the bass that defines the song. Also integrated into the mix are the horns and the keyboards. On top of all the music is the greatest body of content, the vocals, which Clark said made Luciano's music change listeners' moral consciousness.
"If you listen to Luciano, the message is in his music," Clark said. "It can get really philosophical but at the same time, he's reuputing people of various backgrounds and cultures."
Inspired by artists like Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder, Luckeyduve and by his Rastafarian faith, Luciano crusades for what he said he was people's only salvation — Jesus Christ and righteousness. He said he had tried to convey his message through reggae with hints of salsa, samba and hip-hop, but that his next endeavor would be a gospel album.
"My true, honest, inner-gut feeling is that roots gospel religion is what the people really need right now," Luciano said. "The simpler the music, the more authentic the drums, the more authentic the congos, the strings, the guitars, the harps, the more it touches the deepest recesses of the mind."
Although both Clark and Luciano said true reggae was far from being mainstream, they said they saw a brighter future for the music.
"Other brothers have laid the foundation and paved the way for all of us." Luciano said.

said. "I've seen several people like Luciano come into this world and try to take the music to the people. But nobody wants to invest in it. But with Luciano himself, that won't hurt him."

It would be perfectly understandable if the metal fan at Liberty Hall didn't know what to make of Skunk Anansie's performance Friday night.

one opening Rammstein. The band doesn't seem eager to fit completely into the metal genre. They only want to be a rock band, and if they sound heavy, it's a reaction to the lobotomized glee of Britpop that dominated Europe at the time that they formed.
This conscious playing to the audience paid off, in that by the fifth song, the crowd seemed sufficiently impressed by Skunk's hardness, and forgave Skin the deadly metal sin of bringing out a tambourine to bang on during The Skank Heads. Tambourine aside, the performance was full-on metal, with Skin frequently licking, rubbing and hitting Ace, including one hit that resulted in his ear monitor being jammed into his ear. Skunk Anansie managed a rare feat, leaving the stage with cheers that seemed to be for them, not for the fact that the headlining band was one step closer to coming onto the stage.
In terms of contemporaries, Ace said that the band is influenced as much by groups like Radiohead and Rage Against the Machine—a band whose political fervor is echoed in many of Skunk's lyrics—as much as any metal acts. But by touring alongside metal bands with larger American audiences, Skunk Anansie is able to expose themselves to larger crowds. They also get to play smaller markets such as Lawrence, where many large European bands never venture.
view after the show, Ace said that this was intentional because the band wanted to impress as many metal fans
Even though the band is big enough in Europe to headline the last day of this year's Glastonbury festival, it seemed to be an unknown in the theater. The group had just been added to the bill alongside Sevendust, Staind and Powerman 5000 and was in the thankless first band slot. Members came out speaking in thick British accents. The British, Ozzy Osbourne notwithstanding, are not known for their national propensity towards metal.
Evidence that the band — Ace on guitars, Cass on bass and Mark on drums — can play gently and Skin's voice can actually sound delicate briefly came through on songs like We Don't Care Who You Think You Are and The Skank Heads, only to be blown away by more rock. In an inter-
Despite all this and utilization of a tambourine onstage, Skunk Anansie spurred the youth of America to thrust devil signs up in approval.
Focusing on its third and most recent album, Post Orgasmic Chill, Skunk started off in full metal mode and only stopped for the briefest of moments. Forgoing any slow build-up, the band opened with the explosive song Selling Jesus from its 1995 debut Paranoid & Sunburn. Lead singer Skin took the stage, spitting out lyrics, jumping and pacing the stage in a black-hooded sweatshirt, a fusion of Grace Jones and Unabomber chic.

Alcohol rules rigid, but exceptions exist
By Matthew Friedrichs Special to the Kansan
The rules for serving alcohol on campus are meant to enforce the state and national drinking age.
"It's so hard to determine if someone is 21 or not," said Provost David Shulenburger.
Alcohol may only be served in rooms and buildings designated by Chancellor Robert Hemenway. The provost's office has a one-page application that groups are supposed to submit two weeks before an event. He and Hemenway review the applications to decide whether to allow alcohol.
Union catering employees must serve the alcohol.
The rules, including a question on the application about whether undergraduate students will be present, are intended to ensure that the University follows the law.
"About the only way we feel we can be consistent is to use really rough screens," he said.
As a result, Shulenburger usually doesn't grant permission for alcohol if undergraduates will be present.
"If we had only graduate students,we probably wouldn't have these rules." Shulenburger said.
Last year, several approved events fell outside the guidelines set by the provost's office.
Most applicants submitted their requests well in advance, but at least 13 of the approved applications were submitted less than two weeks in advance. Several events also were approved despite the presence of undergraduates.
On May 7, Warner Ferguson, associate director of the Kansas and Burge Unions, faxed a request for a farewell event that evening for Jim Long, former director of the Kansas and Burge Unions, who was moving to a job as an assistant provost. The application was approved.
Ferguson's application indicated that four students, all older than 21, would be present.
The aerospace engineering department received approval for an event that undergraduate
students attended.
Mark Ewing, department chairman, asked to serve alcohol at an awards banquet that included the 55th reunion of aerospace engineering alumni.
After a series of memos between Ewing and Shulenburger, the event was approved on the condition that underage students would wear different color name tags and would not be served alcohol.
In a memo dated April 28, 1999, Shulenburger asked Ewing to change the event next year.
"I ask that as you plan your awards banquet for next year, you alter the schedule, perhaps by scheduling a separate event for alumni, donors and board members at which alcohol is served and dispensing with such service at the student-centered banquet."
Ewing said the drinks were part of culture.
"It's the sort of thing adults do before dinner," he said.
He said having the event off campus would have eliminated any controversy or involvement by the provost and chancellor.
"We actually had our 50th reunion at the Holidome, and there was no problem," Ewing said.
Melissa Birch, business professor and director of the Center for International Business, shares some of that frustration.
She organized on-campus presentations by business leaders. A way to thank the speakers for the time they had taken from their business day was to offer refreshments, including a glass of wine.
"I think it's ridiculous that we had to jump through so many hoops to get something so simple done," Birch said.
The rules for the press box will be slightly different when suite users move in for the first football game Sept. 11. Suite users will have to deliver alcohol the day before the game and will be responsible for dispensing alcohol in their own suite.
They also have to carry an $1 million insurance policy.

University-related departments, offices or organizations for 124 events.
The events ranged in size from 20 to 500 guests. About 8 of the thirty events held at the Natural History Museum and 12 of 80 events held at Spencer Art Museum included alcohol service. Other events where alcohol was served were held at the James Nalsmith Society Room adjacent to Allen Fieldhouse, the Kansas Union, the Lied Center, the Anthropology Museum, the Burge Union and the Continuing Education Building west of Kasold Drive.
The Athletics Department and University of Kansas Athletics Corporation had eight requests approved to serve alcohol at 21 events including receptions at the Naismith Room for all the home men's basketball games and a reception in Anschutz Sports Pavilion for high school football coaches who attended a clinic sponsored by football coach Terry Allen.
Bob Frederick, athletics director, said the new press box would not have been constructed if suite users could not serve alcohol to their guests.
He also said the department had a good track record entertaining guests.
"We certainly haven't had any problems in five years at the Naismith Room." Frederick said.
Up the Hill on west campus, bartenders served drinks at multiple events at the Lied Center.
Jackie Davis, director of the center, had one request for all 34 center-sponsored performances approved. Fred Pawicki, center director of operations, had three events, including a Chamber of Commerce mixer and a reception for Leadership Lawrence approved.
"In social settings for performing arts across the country, you can usually buy a glass of wine," Davis said. "It has been a nice benefit for donors to come to a reception and to be able to

The University of Kansas gave permission to 124 organizations on campus last year in order to serve alcohol. These permits allow the organizations, departments, offices to serve alcoholic beverages on this normally dry campus.

have a drink with the artist."
Without permission to serve alcohol at the center, Davis said she could have to arrange receptions at the homes of patrons.
"None of our alumni have asked us to have it," Fincham said. "None have asked us not to have it."
In addition to entertaining guests at athletics and performing arts events, University groups provided drinks for alumni, professors, businessmen and prospective graduate students.
Jack Fincham, pharmacy dean, received permission to serve alcohol for a pharmacy reunion.
Rachel KesselImaryKANSAN
"You see it in other venues where people have a meal and share times or conversations with others. It's just an accepted custom in our society."
Melissa Birch, business professor, had permission to serve wine at six colloquia for small groups of business, liberal arts, engineering and journalism professors. Area business leaders involved in international trade spoke at the events sponsored by the Center for International Business.
"What are you going to serve them at 5:30, 6 o'clock? Coffee and cookies?" she said.
Alcohol is a social expectation and a way to say thank you to people who spoke for free. And the 20 to 25 guests drank less than two bottles of wine at each of the events, she said.
Among other events approved by the chancellor and provost:
Spencer Art Museum sponsored events for donors and volunteers.
KU Friends of the Libraries had two meetings.
The chancellor's office arranged a reception for state legislators the morning of the KU vs. K-State football game.
Clyde Stollenberg, professor of business, arranged a reception for Toro Hashimoto, who is the president of Fuji Bank in Japan and who studied economics at the University with

a Fulbright scholarship in the 1950s.
■ Mike Reid, manager of the KU bookstores, received permission to serve wine at an annual open house for faculty and staff, but changing attitudes about alcohol are causing him to re-evaluate that decision even though he has received thanks from faculty members.
"Whether we offer wine in the future is now up in the air," Reid said.
The future is not cloudy for the press box. Alcohol will be allowed in the suites during the first game Sept. 11, but not everyone will serve drinks.
Frederick won't serve alcohol in his suite, which is on the same level as the media work room.
"I want to be able to have students in my booth, and I just don't think it's a good idea to have alcohol on the same level as the media." he said.
And Hemenway stresses that underage drinking will not be allowed in the press box.
"If we see people underaged being served alcohol in those facilities, we won't hesitate to act," he said.
Barbara Ballard, associate vice chancellor of student affairs, said the students perceived more of a double standard than actually existed.
"Ten years from now, they'll be up there, and they'll think there is nothing wrong with it," she said.
As for alcohol on campus, University guests will continue to enjoy an occasional drink. University officials say it is part of entertaining guests.
"People might not like it, but that's how the world operates," Ballard said.
Ballard, who is also a state representative, said she would vote against legislation banning alcohol on campus.
And a complete ban of alcohol is the only way the University could deal with alcohol and be completely consistent, Hemenway said.
"I don't think that's realistic," he said.

The Digital Jayhawk, produced by the School of Journalism, makes vast amounts of information available to students at the University of Kansas while providing an online experience enabling them to learn about media convergence.
about media convergence. The database, created by Christopher Ryan, professional in residence, was structured to store information provided by student media and organizations, among other sources. The information is separated into six sections: news, groups, events, talk, fun and classes.

The Digital Jayhawk was launched last semester and can be accessed at www.digital Jayhawk.org
The news page updates its articles daily and receives news and information from various media labs on campus. The database enables these media labs to access one another to provide more in-depth news coverage. This makes it possible for The Daily Kansan to use audio
provided by KJHK to enhance a Kansan story. KUJH, in turn, is able to broadcast a story to accompany a Kansan article.
"This is media convergence in action," said Ryan, who helped create a similar site for the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel. "Boundaries between are breaking down and our goal is to make this work."
goal is to make this work. Boss Bobssell, creative director, said, "its real strength is the experience it gives students on how to work with converging media. It can't give all the skills needed, but it gives a good start. If you understand the concept you'll have no problem adapting."
Group self-publishing enables better communication among groups and classes by allowing student organizations and instructors to create sites on the Digital Jayhawk to convey information. Clubs can use the site to sign waivers needed for activities and to post relevant information. Professors can use the site to discuss assignments and other bulletins for their classes.

Jayhawk to provide a more personal experience. By customizing the site, a visitor can decide which information, links and news appear on the first page.
The Digital Jayhawk was first proposed to Jimmy Gentry, dean of the school of journalism, by Hawke in the fall of 1997. Gentry also had thought of a similar project but preferred Hawke's plan.
Hawke said the Digital Jayhawk is available to anybody interested in the University but is specifically for alumni, faculty and students. He also said the Digital Jayhawk could be used by prospective students as a tool to better acquaint themselves with the University.
Gary Hawke, projects executive director, said he hopes to keep banner ads minimal while increasing specialized corporate sponsorship through such companies as Sprint and Gateway Computers.
and Gateway Computer Bossell said he hopes that eventually the Digital Jayhawk would earn money through a pay-per-view site which would feature athletic games available to alumni and others not in the area.
Hawke said, "I hope exposure will help, so lots of people on campus will see what is available to unite the entire campus."
Hawke said the school of journalism has had wonderful cooperation from the administration and academic computing in securing money and equipment to make the Digital Jayhawk a reality.

Taiwan delegation visits discuss welfare programs

people get off welfare perma-
ture. A four-person delegation from Taipei, Taiwan,
visited Kansas Thursday, Friday and Saturday to learn about programs to help poor people save money and start their own businesses, instead of relying on traditional welfare.
University of Kansas professors in the school of social welfare are involved in two new approaches to help people get off welfare permanently. Taiwan, Taiwan.
The delegates have visited several of the 13 sites in the United States, including sites in Oakland, Calif., and Chicago that are participating in programs encouraging poor people to save. The site in Kansas City, Mo., that Deborah Page-Adams, assistant professor of social professor, is involved with is one of the three most successful sites.
"Providing economic opportunity is more important than providing social services," she said.
Mahasweta Banerjee, associate professor of social welfare, works with a pilot program. Micro-Entrepreneurial Training Program, which helps long-term welfare recipients start their own businesses.
Banerjee said for poverty to end, two things must come together—people must earn money, and then save and invest their money. Banerjee's program focuses on how people earn money.

She said that jobs were available right now, but many of them were minimum-wage jobs with none of the health insurance, life insurance or contributions to retirement plans that often came with higher-paying jobs.

The program is funded by a grant from the Kansas Department of Human Resources and is in partnership with the Small Business Development Center at the school of business.
Banerjee said that participation in the program would help them build a credit history, so that after the program ended they might be able to expand their businesses using bank loans.
The program is open to anyone who has been on welfare for more than 30 months, but all current participants are women. Banejee said the reason all participants were women was that most long-term welfare recipients were single mothers.
Page Adams leads the University's participation in the Family Asset Building Program, in partnership with the Heart of America Family Services Family Focus Center in Kansas City, Mo. The program sets up savings accounts for 75 participants. The money in these accounts can only be used to pay for school, home ownership or starting a business. Every month each participant can deposit money in the account, and the program will match the amount two to one for any amount up to $30. At the end of the four years the program runs, each participant can build a savings of up to $4,320. The program is funded by the Kauffman Foundation and the Corporation for Enterprise Development.
Page-Adams said that the concept of helping poor people save money for the future was growing rapidly in the United States, and that the delegates from Taiwan were seriously considering starting a similar program in Taipei.

Digital Jayhawk melds media
Kansan, KJHK KUJH available
Todd Holstead
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The Digital Jayhawk, produced by the School of Journalism, makes vast amounts of information available to students at the University of Kansas while providing an online experience enabling them to learn about media convergence.
The database, created by Christopher Ryan, professional in residence, was structured to store information provided by student media and organizations, among other sources. The information is separated into six sections: news, groups, events, talk, fun and classes.
Ryan, the Digital Jayhawk's content and technical adviser, said, "The Digital Jayhawk exposes students to the high end of technology. It serves as a research project for students and has a large database designed to import information from many sources."
The Digital Jayhawk was launched last semester and can be accessed at www.digitaljayhawk.org
The news page updates its articles daily and receives news and information from various media labs on campus. The database enables these media labs to access one another to provide more in-depth news coverage. This makes it possible for *The University Daily Kansas* to use audio
provided by KJHK to enhance a *Kansan* story. KUJH, in turn, is able to broadcast a story to accompany a *Kansan* article.
"This is media convergence in action," said Ryan, who helped create a similar site for the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel. "Boundaries between are breaking down and our goal is to make this work."
Boss Bossell, creative director, said, "It's real strength is the experience it gives students on how to work with converging media. It can't give all the skills needed, but it gives a good start. If you understand the concept you'll have no problem adapting."
Group self-publishing enables better communication among groups and classes by allowing student organizations and instructors to create sites on the Digital Jayhawk to convey information. Clubs can use the site to sign waivers needed for activities and to post relevant information. Professors can use the site to discuss assignments and other bulletins for their classes.
Ryan said, "We want as many students involved as possible to learn about database management media."
The talk forum enables visitors to discuss topics ranging from sports to the arts. There is also an option for group and class sites to have closed discussions without intrusion from outside users.
Ryan hopes to mirror the Sun-Sentinel by providing a wide range of games and activities on the fun site. Currently visitors are able to send cards to others from this forum.
Jayhawk to provide a more personal experience. By customizing the site, a visitor can decide which information, links and news appear on the first page.
Visitors can customize the Digital
Gary Hawke, projects executive director, said he hopes to keep banner ads minimal while increasing specialized corporate sponsorship through such companies as Sprint and Gateway Computers.
Bossell said he hopes that eventually the Digital Jayhawk would earn money through a pay-per-view site which would feature athletic games available to alumni and others not in the area.
Hawke said the Digital Jayhawk is available to anybody interested in the University but is specifically for alumni, faculty and students. He also said the Digital Jayhawk could be used by prospective students as a tool to better acquaint themselves with the University.
Hawke said, "I hope exposure will help, so lots of people on campus will see what is available to unite the entire campus."
The Digital Jayhawk was first proposed to Jimmy Gentry, dean of the school of journalism, by Hawke in the fall of 1997. Gentry also had thought of a similar project but preferred Hawke's plan.
Hawke said the school of journalism has had wonderful cooperation from the administration and academic computing in securing money and equipment to make the Digital Jayhawk a reality.

Taiwan delegation visits discuss welfare programs
University of Kansas professors in the school of social welfare are involved in two new approaches to help people get off welfare permanently.
A four-person delegation from Taipei, Taiwan, visited Kansas Thursday, Friday and Saturday to learn about programs to help poor people save money and start their own businesses, instead of relying on traditional welfare.
The delegates have visited several of the 13 sites in the United States, including sites in Oakland, Calif., and Chicago that are participating in programs encouraging poor people to save. The site in Kansas City, Mo., that Deborah Page-Adams, assistant professor of social professor, is involved with is one of the three most successful sites.
Ann Weick, dean of the school of social welfare, spoke to the delegation Friday afternoon in Twente Hall. Weick talked about the new approach to helping poor people that is starting to become popular in the United States.
"Providing economic opportunity is more important than providing social services," she said.
Mahasweta Banerjee, associate professor of social welfare, works with a pilot program. Micro-Entrepreneurial Training Program, which helps long-term welfare recipients start their own businesses.
Banerjee said for poverty to end, two things must come together — people must earn money, and then save and invest their money. Banerjee's program focuses on how people earn money.
She said that jobs were available right now, but many of them were minimum-wage jobs with none of the health insurance, life insurance or contributions to retirement plans that often came with higher-paying jobs. Her program encourages people to combine self-employment with another job.
They are encouraged to start businesses they can run out of their own homes, like cleaning services, child-care services, catering services, making clothes or beauty care.
The Micro-Entrepreneurial Training Program provides business training and support, and if the participant's business plan is approved, a loan of up to $2,500 at the current prime interest rate.
Banerjee said that participation in the program would help them build a credit history, so that after the program ended they might be able to expand their businesses using bank loans.
The program is open to anyone who has been on welfare for more than 30 months, but all current participants are women. Banerjee said the reason all participants were women was that most long-term welfare recipients were single mothers.

GOP rivals ask Bush to tell the whole story
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—As questions about past illegal drug use continue to dog Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush, some GOP rivals said yesterday that he should answer them directly and get the issue behind him.
But at the same time, his competitors and supporters maintained that past indiscretions, including possible use of illegal drugs, should not disqualify the Texas governor or anyone else from becoming president.
Noting that Bush has
addressed the issue partially, Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said Bush should "just answer the darn question and get rid of it."
"If there wasn't anything here, then George Bush should have just said there wasn't," Hatch said on NBC's "Meet the Press".
"If there was, I think he, at this point, should answer it, get it behind him, because the polls show most of the American people are forgiving," Hatch added.
There has been no evidence or credible allegation that Bush ever has used an illegal
drug, although he has admitted to formerly drinking heavily and "mistakes" as a youth. Questioned repeatedly on the drug issue, Bush said last week that he had not used illegal drugs within the past 25 years, but would not elaborate.
Except for Bush, all of the GOP candidates have said unequivocally that they never have used illegal drugs. Democratic rivals Vice President Al Gore and Bill Bradley both have admitted to experimenting with marijuana during their youth.
Rains threaten Turkey quake zone
The Associated Press
ISTANBUL, Turkey—Bulldozers and jackhammers tore into flattened buildings still entombing thousands of earthquake victims in Turkey yesterday, rushing to clear decomposing corpses before expected rains increase the risk of epidemics.
Just how many people remained buried across populous north western Turkey was still unknown nearly a week after Tuesday's enormous quake. The official death toll has surpassed 12,000 and some officials have predicted as many as 40,000 may have died.
Amid the tears, an astonishing ray of hope: A 57-year-old stroke-crippled woman unable to cry for help was found alive after nearly five and a half days trapped in rubble in the town of Golcuk, about 110 miles southeast of Istanbul.
Another woman, 52, was pulled out by Israeli, Turkish and Bulgarian rescue teams from the rubble of her home in Cinaricak, southwest of Golcuk, according to an Israeli army statement.
In many places, however, the search for the living was scaled back and there was only the roar of machinery ripping into the wreckage where rescuers once carefully listened for any signs of life.
Survivors, some with family members still buried, watched helplessly.
"We can't even get our dead," said Osman Bakay, who has two relatives still caught in a collapsed five-story building in Yalova, about 30 miles south of Istanbul.
The stench of decomposing bodies across the quake zone was an obvious reminder that serious diseases could flare any moment. Typhoid fever, cholera and dysentery topped the list of concerns. Officials have sprayed disinfectants, distributed water purification tablets and started spreading antiseptic lime in the region.
Rains forecast to begin
today could bring contaminated runoff into streets. They also could contribute to other health risks—for example, carrying down toxic particles pumped into the sky from a huge fire that burned several days at Turkey's biggest oil refinery after Tuesday's quake.
Health Minister Osman Durmus urged people to leave the area near the refinery in Izmit, about 90 miles southeast of Istanbul.
Up to 25,000 beds were available at hotels and resorts around the region, government officials said. Food, plastic sheeting and buses also were sent in. Tent cities have been erected in some areas.

Hit me with your best shot
story by dan curry* photos by kate levenson
Left: Stranded on the top of car No. 5, competition pauses. Bull-dozers were used to separate wrecked vehicles. Both cars continued in the derby.
84
In the cornfields south of the new county jail, crumpled car skeletons sit on the earth
The people responsible for them stand in a group outside a nearby garage.
They step back as a car rolls to a stop on gravel damp from a midmorning electrical storm.
The '76 Chevrolet Impala has no windows, mirrors or headlights. The bumps are jagged and chained. In overalls and a straw hat, Lawrence asphalt pavier Dwight Byers broods behind the steering wheel.
Painted crimson and blue, it is not a car ordained for restful pasture and weekend drives.
Violent death awaits it
"I like to smash cars," says Byers, who intends to drive the Impala at the demolition derby in Tanganoxie the next evening. "This car will do good."
Like cockfighting or bearbaiting, a derby is a simple spectacle: big strapping American cars batter each other until one survives, a sorry victor, bent and hissing steam. The sport has been derided as the dregs of car racing and described as the state fair's whore that draws crowds in ways pig-racing cannot.
Unlike other sports, the derby is really not about winning or losing — it's about smashing and surviving and the culture that thrives on it. The reasons these people risk their necks, destroy their cars and pay $10 just to see it happen may be as old as the death wish and as deep as the will to live.
"We're all in construction," says plumber Kenny Patterson, a derby mate of Byers. "I got so much construction in my life I need some destruction."
They search for cars to buy during the winter and pay as much as $250 for a steel-laden 70s sedan.
Once they get the car to the shop they kick out the windows, or pry them out if they've got the time.
Kenny, his brother Bobby, dump truck driver Terry Harmon and Byers' girlfriend Kayla Weaver all build and race cars with Byers. They call their fleet of vehicles the "Hawk Flock."
They also build a firewall, in case the gas tank explodes.
They gouge the headlights, tear out the back seat, shear the chrome, yank off the mirrors and gut the interior. They relocate the battery to the front seat and put a new gas tank in the space where the back seat used to be. They trim the bumpers, so they won't snag in battle, chain the doors shut and crimp the trunk, so it won't fly up after the first solid hit.
They bolt everything down and tighten the nuts.
All that's left to do is to test the transmission they spent a week rebuilding.
"Please be careful," Weaver says to Byers, who fiddles with the ignition.
Byers fires the engine. Flames spit from the headers in the hood. He hits the gas and brakes simultaneously. The shock and sound of detonating gasoline ripples the skin on Byers' face.
It is a terrible minute, watching the Impala buck uncontrollably. Its engine rips and coughs blue gas rings.
Kenny Patterson's 8-year-old daughter covers her ears and begs him to stop.
When it's over, Byers says, "I think it's leaking oil." Three men lean over the car, hold their beer against their hips and peer into the engine.
Most foreboding is that the Hawk Flock drivers have attached metal bars in front of the dash, on the driver's side door and behind the front seat of Byers' car. These bars protect the driver against deadly driver-sides hits.
"People are usually pretty good about not hitting the driver's side," Harmon says. "But there are people out there who'll do it. There's bad eggs."
Harmon would know about the dangers. Three years ago he broke his back in a derby. Emergency workers cut through the top of the car to lift him out.
Byers collided with a truck driven by one of his friends. Byers escaped with bad bruises on his chest. Weaver, who was going to race in her first derby that week, underwent four hours of surgery on her face.
Byers and Weaver were in a serious car accident when driving a derby car home on July 4..
He bit clear through his tongue two weeks ago, at his first derby back since his accident.
Barney Farr, demolition derby organizer and Leavenworth city employee, says he pays a $1,500 insurance premium for derbies, which is the single greatest expense he has.
"I'll never do it." Weaver says. "Not now."
But Farr says that derbies are no more dangerous than any other sport.
Byers assures her she will
"We'll get you in a derby car," he say and squeezes her shoulders.
"You get bumped up, cut," Far says. "But you have a good night of sex, it'll do that."
Farr enforces rules at the Leavenworth County derby to keep the drivers safe and the competition fair, he
says.
He doesn't allow welding and forbids pouring sand or grout in the frames, filling the tires with liquid or attaching extra metal bars inside the body. Farr will reject 10 cars out of 70 at a typical derby for violating the rules.
At Toganoxie the next day, a crowd of people press around Byers' car.
Byers will be unstoppable, a spectator savs.
"People cheer when they see me drive out there because they know there will be some big hits," he says.
Byers is something of a celebrity here. He has won his heat more than 30 times in two decades. He has trophies that come up to his hip. He has derbied on The Nashville Network. But he hasn't won the whole thing.
But those big hits hurt him.
The paradox of derby driving is that each stroke against your opponent is a stroke against yourself. It's Newtonian: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. For that reason, drivers who go after the $1,000 cash awards tend to hide in the corners to protect their charlots. It's called paint scraping, pussyfooting or sandbagging. And everyone hates it.
"I hit often and I hit hard." Byers says. "Those people who sandbag aren't competing."
where their windshields once were or wave to girlfriends.
Across the trunk of one car reads "Hit me. I like it."
The crowd counts down from five, the officials shake their sticks and the derby begins.
Tires squeal and two lines of cars advance backwards. People brace against the probable impact.
Rocks and mud hit a Frenchman in the audience in the face. He giggles and says that there is nothing like this in his country.
Byers' car hurls like a juggernaut across the arena, and some cars, understandably, flee from him.
Then his engine dies again. He can't get it restarted, and he's out before he even began. Afterward, you can hear the disappointment in Byer's voice as he calls his car a hunk of junk.
Others hit him dead-on.
This is the third time this car has died on him early in the heat.
He gives his car away and leaves early, his girlfriend trailing after.
"He won't stop derbying," she says. "They're all crazy."
Rules of the game
- No driver-side hits
- No head-on hits
- American cars only
- Must make contact within one minute
Weighing in at one-and-a half tons, Byer's 1976 Chevrolet Impala is a sought after machine.
- Last car running wins

Rally is soggy but not sunk
Rain does not keep eager fans from stadium
By Mike Miller
By Mike Miller
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
It was football weather — even if the first Kansas home game wasn't until Sept. 11.
An early-afternoon rain had soaked the turf at Memorial Stadium, but about 2,000 people came to the Get Ready Rally last night despite the rain.
It was mostly families, some in crimson and blue, some in rain gear, who came for free food and games at Memorial Stadium. But when another drizzle hit as the players arrived, they stayed to meet the 1999 Jayhawk football team for the first time.
"My daughter loves Baby Jay," said Terry Campbell, Lawrence resident. "So we come out here, she gets to play some games and I get some autographs."
Students came too, though if they were too late for the free food — the first 1,000 people got free food — they came for autographs or to buy all-sports tickets.
a raffle, 14 different game booths for kids, free food and the debut of the Mega Vision board gave fans several options at the rally.
"I'm mad that I didn't get any food," said Steve Stewart, Topeka junior. "But I needed a sports pass anyway. Maybe I'll win something."
"We got a good crowd," said Rick Mullen, event organizer and director of promotions for the athletics department.
"It stopped raining for a few
hours and gave people a chance to see the new board."
But they stayed for the players.
When the players' bus rolled up to Memorial, it started raining again, and anyone who didn't have an umbrella or a poncho got soaked, including the kids, most of the parents and the players.
But the rain didn't do much. Most of the players took their time weaving their way through the crowd, signing autographs and posing for pictures. Some, like fullback Moran Norris, came ready for the rain.
Wearing a hat with a miniumbrella, Norris laughed when someone asked if he knew it was going to rain.
"I guess. I bought the hat in Houston for the sun, but it works all right for this," he said.
Norris also didn't mind braving the elements for the fans.
"It's good. We get out here for the community and the kids."
Linebacker Dariss Lomax agreed with Norris, but wasn't quite as cheery without an umbrella hat.
"It's tight. I wish it wasn't raining, but you know," he said. Later, when the pep rally portion of the rally began, the sky cleared just in time for the band to play and for coach Terry Allen to introduce his team.
Introducing senior co-captain Michael Chandler to address the fans, Chandler evoked the biggest response from the crowd.
"I wanted to clarify something. "A lot of people have been writing us off. We're going up to Notre Dame to name him." he said.
A cheer went up from the crowd, as expected. They welcomed the new football season even if the elements didn't.

Coach says he'll discipline Earl
Kansas forward Lester Earl, who was arrested early Thursday morning, will be disciplined for his actions, men's basketball coach Roy Williams said Friday.
Although Williams did not say what Earl's penalty would be, running extra laps may be out of the question because Earl is undergoing rehabilitation on his knee, which was operated on before the start of the 1998-99 season.
A
"There will be discipline, and it may or may not be something the public
sees, Williams said. Another factor in Williams' decision is a NCAA rule that prohibits practices before Oct. 16, which is the official start of the season.
Earl was arrested Thursday on a warrant for failure to appear by Lawrence police in front of Dos Hombres, 815 New Hampshire St., Sgt. George Wheeler said. After the arrest, Earl was booked at the Douglas

Earl had failed to appear in Lawrence Municipal Court for two traffic violations, the court said. He had previously been cited for speeding and driving with a suspended license.

Today at 4 p.m. the Jayhawks will play an exhibition game against Park College in Kansas City, Mo., The team hopes to continue its winning ways it developed last spring when they posted a 6-01 record.
The Kansas women's soccer team has been waiting a long time for this day.
"The biggest thing is that we gained a lot of confidence in the spring and also got into the habit of winning," Coach Mark Francis said. "That's a habit, just like losing is, and to be honest with you, they liked it better than losing. I think it fired them up a little bit and gave them a lot of confidence."

Today's game will mark the first opportunity for the team to compete against anyone other than themselves this season, something which Francis thinks will be good for his team.

"After a while you get tired of kicking your own teammates," Francis said. "You want to get out there and play against some outside people, so I think they're looking forward to playing somebody different."
"It will be good to see us all in a game situation where we're all together as one team instead of split up like when we scrimmage." Hensley said. "We're clicking really well. It'll be interesting to see how well we play together since we've been clicking so well."
Kansas doesn't know much about its opponent, but that's not a concern to Francis. He's hoping to use the game to give his players an opportunity to play, and see what they can do.

Katie Henslev agreed.
"We're going into it pretty blind, but it's going to be more for preparation than anything else," Francis said. "We're trying to get everybody some playing time and see how some different combinations of players work."
Francis also plans to use the exhibition to determine who the final members of his starting lineup will be. The game against Park is Kansas' final tune-up before Friday's home and season opener vs. Colorado.
"We've still got some unanswered question marks at some positions, and then there are some that are pretty solid," Francis said. "There's still some people we're shifting around a little bit. That's something
we'll be able to look at on Monday — putting different people at different spots, and see who's going to be able to do the job for us."
This comes as good news to some of the players who are looking to earn their place on the team. Most notably, the freshmen, who will also be experiencing their first college competition today.
The team is eager to start playing games and Hensley expects them to play well.
"I just hope to play first," freshman defender Bridget Goyen said. "I don't know
how we'll do since we haven't played anybody. I'm just excited about it."
"I think we'll be even stronger as a whole team instead of going against each other because we're all aiming for the same goal—to get to (the Big 12 Conference tournament in) San Antonio."

Boy, do I have the team for you.
Sick of owners with deep pockets and teams with room temperature payrolls winning games instead of the players?

Please meet the Cincinnati Reds, the team every baseball fan who's looking for a level playing field should be rooting for. Cincinnati is
in the midst of a playoff race with Houston, Atlanta and the Mets, teams whose average payroll is almost twice that of the Reds.

lion. There's 14 teams above .500, but the Reds are the only winning team with a payroll under $40 million.
Just eight major-league owners pay their players less than the $33 million than the Reds make. Two of Cincinnati's all-stars - Sean Casey and Scott Williamson - make a combined $420,000. Barry Larkin, the other, grew up in Cincinnati and is one of those rare athletes who has spent an entire career with one team.
The players are all guys who know their role, and all guys you'd have a beer with. Greg Vaughn, the team's highest-paid player, is hitting .225. But he doesn't care about that: "As long as I drive in runs," he says. He leads the team with 78 RBI.
Vaughan can't talk to the media for more than a few minutes without saying how lucky he is, and how he plans to never lose perspective as long as his family is healthy.
But it's more than monev.
The Reds have no egos, no selfish players. Then again, how could they? Even with the success and no other decent professional team in the area, most home games draw crowds under 30,000.
And Casey, the team's other star, is Everyman. He wears an NWO shirt under his game jersey and will talk your ear off about anything in the world. His minor-league report said his psychological weakness was that he cared too much about people.
The Reds play like you wish your favorite team played.
This is not a team of angels, don't get me wrong. But anybody who deals with major league baseball teams on a regular basis will tell you that this is a team you root for if you know them. They're nice guys with level heads who play hard.

The Reds aren't even the talk of their own division. That title goes to Smilin' Sammy Sosa's and Mark McGwire's encore performance of the home run derby. I lived in Cincinnati this summer, and the only big crowd I can remember was when the Cardinals played. The Reds were even slapped in the face that game when McGwire homered. Not only did the Cincinnati crowd dish out a standing ovation, but the Reds even set off fireworks, which are usually saved for hometown players.
They have no flashy revenue-producing stadium like Ohio's other team in Cleveland. They play in corporate-named Cinergy Field, a vanilla stadium if ever there was one. There are construction plans for a new stadium, but the Reds must wait in line at the contractor's office behind the sorry Bengals and their downtown stadium, which opens next fall.
They're also the best cure out there for Yankee-itis.

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 7.
If you're doing what you love, they say the money will fallow. If you're not doing what you love, you certainly should be. Everybody should be, but you more than most. If you're miserable, everybody's miserable. When you smile, the whole world smiles with you. So, be happy! And, if you're not doing what you love, change jobs!
Taurus: Today is a 8.
Conditions have just changed again, in your favor. For the next several weeks, you're luckier than usual with love. Today, you're just about as lucky as you will be for quite a while. So, if you have a hunch, follow through on it! Move quickly, though. This opportunity won't last.
Gemini: Today is a 7.
Arithmetic is probably not your strong point. Think of a goal so enricting, so exciting, that it will get you eager to cozy up with the numbers. How about a trip to Europe? Done that yet? This can be yours through the magic of saving. The earlier you begin, the more you'll have later. It's elementary. Do the math.
Cancer: Todav is a 8.
Working with a partner is your key to success again today. You both do better together than apart. Conditions are changing in your favor, too. You may have been successful for the past few days, but you've had to work at it. Soon, you can learn a way to achieve your goals much more easily.
Leo: Today is a 8.
For the past few weeks, you may have defended your position and made sure everybody considered your opinion. You've probably emerged as a strong leader even though you had to compromise on a couple of minor points. Now, for a few weeks, your attention will be on the bottom line.
Virgo: Today is a 8.
You've just undergone a transformation, but you probably look the same on the outside. You're getting much more confident on the inside. It's partially because of things you've been through lately, what you've done and your interaction with other people. And, it's partially because conditions changed. You're luckier now.
Libra: Today is a 6.

Sagittarius: Today is a 7.
The battle you've been fighting is almost won. It's not entirely because of what you've done, either. It's partly due to a change in the climate. You'll be slightly luckier starting today. The luck will show up through your friends. So, today and always, celebrate with them.
The pressure is increasing. Sometimes you get away with a quick once-over result because you're so charming. People hesitate to make you do it over. That used to be how it was, and maybe it's that way again someday. For the next four weeks, strive to do it right. If you don't, you'll hear about it.
Capricorn: Today is a 9.
Aquarius: Today is a 5.
Finally, some relief The sun transit into Virgo brings you out of the drums and into a refreshing breeze. Where you were stuck before, now you break free. Run, dance, celebrate. Who cares if it's a Monday? You've worked late lots of times!
If you can get this financial thing figured out, you'll be ahead. There's usually a paper trail, but yours may have dried up. You'll find out what really happened, if you follow the money. It could lead you to somebody in authority. Don't give up; this could get interesting.

You'll hustle this morning. The stock of things you left over the weekend seems to have grown. Who put this new demand on top, the one that was supposed to be done yesterday? Better do that one first. And, do it perfectly. It will be graded.
A partnership is a special kind of relationship. You have very different skills. You don't always understand each other, or even get along. If you can manage to keep after the same goal, you'll get further. One is the booster, the other is the rocket. Doesn't matter which is which. You could even trade off.

Nebraska receiver charged with sexual assault
LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska receiver Shevin Wiggins was arrested and charged Friday with sexual assault of a child for allegedly fondling two 14-year-old girls outside a foster home, Lancaster County authorities said.
Wiggins, 24, and another man, Floyd Brown, 22, are accused of touching the girls late July 25 or early July 26 inside a camper in the driveway of the home near Lincoln, Sheriff Terry Wagner said.
Wiggins and Brown were arraigned Friday in Lancaster County Court after Wiggins voluntarily appeared
with his attorney and Brown was taken into custody at his home.
Wiggins, is a starting receiver for the Cornhuskers, and is best known for kicking a football into the arms of teammate Matt Davison for a last-second touchdown at the Cornhuskers rallied to beat Missouri 45-38 in overtime in 1997.
Both men posted bonds of $10,000 and were released from jail. A third unidentified man involved in the incident has not been arrested. Warner said.
Nebraska coach Frank Solich said Wiggins was indefinitely suspended from the team until the facts of the case are clear. He said Wiggins would
not be allowed to practice or play in games during his suspension.
"It's unfortunate certainly for Shevin and all of us," Solich said. "I don't know the facts of the case. I only know that for all the years Shevin has been with the team he's never been in any trouble."
Wiggins, a native of Palmetto. Fla., was granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA in April after an earlier ruling on eligibility for student with disabilities was reversed. Wiggins has a reading disability.
The arrests followed an investigation into allegations by the two girls, Wagner said.
One of the girls told police she was asleep in the living room of the foster home when she was awakened by one of the men, according to an affidavit for an arrest warrant. She said the man led her to the porch where another girl and two other men were waiting.
The three men and two girls then entered the camper where the girl said Wiggins removed her clothes, the affidavit said. The girl told police she was fondled by Wiggins and another man, the affidavit said.
Brown denied inappropriate contact. Sexual assault of a child is a felony punishable up to 5 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Reves has her eyes on victory
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportwriter
Amanda Reves doesn't need to spend a lot of time talking about her achievements during her career with the Jayhawks volleyball team. Her statistics speak volumes by themselves.
Heading into her senior season, Reves, a middle blocker, already has set Kansas records for career block assists (312), career attack percentage (276), and career blocks per game (1.21). Since 1997 she has been named to seven straight all-tournament teams and as a junior last season claimed All-Big 12 Honorable Mention. She also received votes for the preseason all-conference team.
But Reves doesn't get caught up in very many of the statistics.
As the Jayhawks' Sept. 1 season opener against Missouri-Kansas City approaches, Reves said that most of her focus lies with making the team better and doing what she can to help the Jayhawks have their first winning season since 1993.
One statistic that does jump out at Reves, however, is the fact that the Jayhawks have been picked to finish ninth in the Big 12 this season by the league's coaches. She said that was a motivating factor heading into the season.
"It's always interesting to see what other people think about our team," Reves said. "But it's always a motivation to push much farther than their expectations."
If the Jayhawks are to accomplish that task this season, much of the workload will fall on Reves. Not only is she the most dominant player in the middle for the Jayhawks, but, according to Kansas coach Ray Bechard, one of the team's leaders as well.
"I think that's a shared responsibility," Bechard said, "but certainly she does her part just from the standpoint of work ethic on and off the floor and just the energy level she brings each and every day.
"She is, along with some of her other senior counterparts, the type of person
you want representing Kansas volleyball."
Reves acknowledges the fact that she is a team leader, but said the team's other four seniors, Kristi Kiyabu, Anne Kreimer, Mary Beth Albrecht and Tori Holtmeier, also play a leadership role.
"I think all five seniors really are leaders for the newcomers and younger players." Revs said. "There's a real bond between the seniors and it kind of sets a standard."
Reves, a social welfare major, has done her part in setting a standard in the classroom as well. Aside from being a three-time Jayhawk Scholar and Academic AllBig 12 honoree, she was also named to the 1988 GTE/CoSIDA Academic All-District 7
"Sports have kind of been a priority in my life for I don't know how long. I've competed with my sister and my brother in everything we've done," said Reves, whose identical twin sister plays on the Jayhawks women's basketball team." Academics is just something that I've got to get done."
Reves began as a walk-on from Denver, Colo., but after a tournament in 1996 where she recorded a .375 attack percentage with 17 kills and 17 block assists, she was awarded a scholarship. Since then, Reves has become one of the most highly-decorated Jayhawks ever to play the game.
Beachard, who coached at Barton County Community College in Great Bend before coming to Kansas last year, said Reves should be classified as one of the premier players in the Big 12.
"I think I would have to rank her right up there as one of the most intense players and committed players I've ever coached," he said. "She's been known more for attack and block and she's made tremendous efforts to try and balance her game and make herself the most complete player she can be."

Baylor loses star women's forward to torn knee ligament
The Baylor women's soccer team, ranked 17th nationally by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, received a blow Thursday when forward Molly Cameron tore her anterior cruciate ligament on her left knee during practice.
Cameron, a senior from Tulsa, Okla., will miss the entire season.
She will undergo surgery tomorrow to repair the tear.
Cowell said. "She has come back from injury before, and we expect the same this time. Without a doubt, Molly will be our number one recruit next year."
Surgery is nothing new to Cameron. Before the 1998 season she had to have surgery to repair laxity in her ankle which forced her to miss two games that season.
"Obviously, this is unfortunate, but Molly is a competitor." Bears coach Nick

Cameron is the career scoring leader at Baylor with 136 points and holds the career goals record with 56. In addition, she also holds season records for points, 75, and goals, 32, which she recorded during her freshman season on her way to finishing the season third in the nation in scoring. She also has six career hat tricks and has the single-game record of five goals in one game. Cameron was the Big 12 Conference
Newcomer of the Year in 1996 and was voted an honorable mention All-American.
Cameron has made her mark against the Jayhawks as well. Two years ago she scored the game-winning goal with less than three minutes left in the second overtime period in a 1-0 Baylor victory. Baylor defeated the Jayhawks 1-0 last year, but Cameron did not score.

Ki Aikido club tries to help mind,body
By Jason Walker
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
The words martial arts usually make people envision lots of kicking, punching, and movies such as the Karate Kid. Ki Akido, however, is a different type of martial art altogether.
The University of Kansas Ki Aikido club practices a martial art that doesn't stress physical contact. Instead it emphasizes development of the mind and body to work together. Eric Neuteboom, Colorado Springs, Colo., senior, said for the most part striking is not involved.
"You try to use your opponent's momentum against them," he said. "You use fluid motions and holds like wrist locks to subdue your opponent."
Neuteboom said that Ki Aikido's style was different from most other types of martial arts.
"People automatically assume it is a militant martial art like judo," he said. "But it's entirely self-defense. You don't even have to be strong or fast to be good at it."
"I just happened to take the class and was blown away with it," he said. "I never liked fighting, but the goal of Ki Aikido is to subdue your attacker without hurting them. There is no offense, you just try to redirect the force of your opponent's attack."
Andrew LeBar, the volunteer coach of the Ki Aikido team, said he had been practicing the martial art for ten years and had immediately fallen in love with it.
LeBar said that the most important aspect of Ki Aikido is the benefits it has on the mind and body.
"It focuses on self development and spirit," he said. "We do breathing and meditation exercises to teach mind-body coordination."
"Today people seem to do things without thinking about them," he said. "We try to teach people how to handle everyday situations better."
LeBar also said that the things people learn from Ki Aikido can help them in all aspects of their lives.
The team also has had some success at national competitions. Neubeum said that last May the team traveled to Seattle to compete in the national tournament.
"We won it," he said. "The KU team is widely known in national Ki Alikoid circles." LeBar said that the second World Cup of Ki Alikoid is next summer in Japan, and the KU team is trying to raise money to go.
"We want to send a six-man team," he said.
"In 1996 we went to the first World Cup in Japan and got eighth place. Hopefully, we can go this time and do even better."
Neuteboom said that there are about 30 people on the team and that anyone was welcome to join. The team practices at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and at 10:00 a.m. on Saturdays. Anyone interested is welcome to stop by practice or call Eric Neuteboom at 840-0087.

Soccer headers could damage players' brains
The Associated Press
BOSTON — Adult soccer players appear to suffer a loss of some mental abilities, possibly from whacking the ball with their head, two researchers suggested Friday.
Their study, which was outlined at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association, bolsters a growing body of research pointing to possible mental harm from headers.
But researchers caution that no study has conclusively demonstrated that headers—as opposed to concussions from colliding with other players—are to blame. It is also unknown if the impairment, as measured by psychological tests in such studies, translates into any real handicaps in everyday life.
The U.S. Soccer Federation had no immediate reaction to the report.
"Given the findings, I think it may be worth pursuing this further by asking: Does a lifetime of soccer playing lead to problems with social or occupational functioning?" said psychologist David Abwender, a neuropsychologist at New York State University-Brockport.
He and Danielle Symons, a doctoral student in sports science at the University of Florida, studied a total of 26 men and women playing soccer at the Brockport campus and six current or former professionals ages 30 to 55. Researchers used a group of swimmers for comparison.
On tests of reaction time and ability to deduce unstated rules of a card game, soccer players did 12 and 16 percent worse on average than swimmers. Soccer players who have
competed at relatively higher levels — and presumably did more frequent heading — performed significantly worse on 5 of 11 tests, even when age differences were accounted for.
Frank Webbe, a Florida Institute of Technology psychologist who has also studied mental impairment in soccer players, said the Brockport study appeared to buttress similar findings elsewhere. He said simple common sense suggested headers might do harm in the long run.
"If you were to go up to someone and say, 'Would you bang your head against that wall 20 or 30 times a day?' ,you'd probably say. 'No.' Webbe said.
George S. Baroff, a psychologist who studies brain impairment at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, said such cognitive loss might stem from a mixture of repeated concussions from collisions and banging from headers.
In interviews, researchers differed in their recommendations for parents and soccer leagues because so many questions remain. Several encouraged use of the correct size of ball by children. But some went as far as broaching the idea of soft helmets or even banning headers among children younger than 11.
Symons, a former player and coach, said children's coaches often lacked experience and need better instruction.
"Kids go out and kind of bonk the ball with their heads for awhile, but they're never properly taught until high school," she said.
Comets soar past Monarchs in last game
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — It was time to play, and Cynthia Cooper didn't want to be a spectator for a second straight game.
The Associated Press
Cooper returned after missing one game following the death of teammate and best friend Kim Perrot. She scored 27 points and had 10 assists Saturday night as the Houston Comets closed the regular season with a 74-65 victory against the Sacramento Monarehs.
The league's two-time MVP sat in street clothes Friday night as the Comets dropped a game in Los Angeles. There was no thought of missing the season-finale.
fighting through them."
"I decided I was going to play when I saw my team out there struggling with the same things that I was struggling with last night," Cooper said. "I couldn't stand another night watching them go through the same things I was, but
Houston definitely needed Cooper. Comets All-Star forward Syneryl Swoopes sprained her right knee going for a rebound at the 6:58 mark of the first half and did not return. She is expected to be available for the playoff opener Thursday
against either
Sacramento
or the
Los
Angeles
Sparks.
"When she went down, I was thinking 'enough is enough,'" Cooper said. "But I believe she's not hurt and will be back practicing with us on Monday."
Cooper made 9-of-18 field-goal attempts, including 4-of-7 from 3-point range. She also converted all five free throws.
Despite her play, Houston still trailed 57-52 with 8:50 remaining. Cooper ignited an 18-4 run, scoring 10 points and putting Houston ahead 70-61 with 55 seconds remaining.
"I felt it was time to take charge and make some things happen," Cooper said. "It didn't have to be me, but I was trying to get my teammates involved."
For the Monarchs, it was the third straight loss, all without center Yolanda Griffith, the league's leading rebounder who will miss Tuesday's game and perhaps the entire playoffs. She had surgery last week on her right knee.
"Yolanda brings a lot to this team both on offense and defense," Monarchs guard Ticha Peniheiro said. "But we've seen we can play without her. We need to bring our 'A' game to the playoffs."
Penicheiro said he knew a victory in
the playoff game against Los Angeles meant a three-game series with Houston — no easy chore.
"They are still the two-time champs, the best in the world," Penicheiro said. "They've gone through a lot emotionally, but they've handled it like real professionals. They are still the team to beat."
Both Tina Thompson and Sonja Hening scored 12 points for Houston (26, 6), which has won 12 of 14. The Comets defeated Sacramento three of four times this year.
Ruthie Bolton-Holfield scored 16 points and Tangela Smith added 12 points and 10 rebounds for the Monarchs (19-13), making their first playoff appearance.
The game drew a franchise-record 15,689 fans, the most since the Monarchs' inaugural home game in their first WNBA season.
Davis troubled by rain is out of Olympic trials
The Associated Press
BLOOMFIELD, N.J. - Actress Geena Davis lost her bid to be an Olympic archer, but she said she loves the challenge and will try again in four years.
"I think I did well. I was very happy." Davis said Saturday after finishing 24th out of 28 women competing in the U.S. Olympic trial semifinals.
Davis, 43, made it to the semifinals just two years after taking her first archery lesson. The top 16 archers advanced to yesterday's competition.
Her coach, Don Rabska, said she was having trouble adapting to the rain.
"It's tough for us because we never get to practice in the rain in California," Rabsa said. "It caught her a little off guard."
Davis also said the first serious media attention in her two years as an archer distracted her a bit.
"I was ill-prepared for this onslaught," she said. "It was like being at a premier."
The star of "Thelm and Louise" and "The Accidental Tourist" — for which she won an Oscar in 1988 — was inspired to take up archery after watching Justin Huish win two gold medals at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.
Few people knew of Davis' hobby until she finished 29th out of 300 women in Ohio to qualify for the Olympic semifinals. On Saturday, reporters blanketed this small suburban park along with about 40 movie fans who watched from behind a rope, hoping to catch a glimpse of the actress.
Davis said she loved to challenge herself and wanted to stay with archery "to see how good I can get." She said she would try out for the Olympics again in four years.
Janet Dykman, 45, a 1996 Olympian, and Denise Parker, a two-time Olympian, were among the group to advance, while Huish was among the 16 men to advance.
Dykman has shot with Davis in California and said she thought the media attention had been a little distracting to the actress.
"We've kept it pretty low-key for her, and this is the first time it's exploded for her like this," Dykman said.
Others archery enthusiasts say Davis' participation is giving needed recognition to a little-known sport.
"A lot of people think archery, and they think hunting and stuff," said archer Jessica Carlson, 22.
Rodman jailed for disturbance
The Associated Press
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — Denis Rodman was released from jail yesterday, several hours after police were called by someone at a
restaurant-bar, who said the flamboyant former NBA star was drunk and causing a disturbance.

The 38-year-old Rodman, known for his dyed hair and numerous tattoos and body piercings, spent a few

hours in custody before being released on his own recognizance, Set. Jim Kaminskv said.
Rodman was booked for investigation of being intoxicated in a public place, a misdemeanor, Kaminsky said. Rodman was ordered to appear in court Oct. 1. Before then, prosecutors will determine whether to file any charges. Kaminsky said.
Police had few details of the incident, but the restaurant owner said
it didn't appear to be instigated by Rodman.
"From what I understand, a woman was verbally abusing him, and he said something back to her and her boyfriend grabbed him and the police were called," said Ralph Furra, whose wife Julie was managing the restaurant at the time.
His wife did not place the call, he said.
Police arrested Rodman outside the restaurant, where he is a regular. Furra said.
"We've never had any problems with him, he's well-behaved," Furra said.
Rodman played for the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls before joining the Los Angeles Lakers for a short stint this year. The Lakers waived him in April.
Rodman, who has made headlines off and on the court for years, has been sued twice this year. A Kentucky woman has filed suit against him in June, claiming he assaulted her in the lobby of a Las Vegas resort.
On May 19, a casino security guard sued Rodman, accusing him of grabbing her breast while she was working at the Las Vegas Hilton.

Rookies must fulfill savior roles
The Associated Press
Dauunte Culpepper's NFL debut was hardly auspicious: He was sacked five times and completed just two of six passes for 15 yards in Minnesota's 36-21 loss to the Giants.
But of the five quarterbacks drafted in the first round last April, Culpepper is in the best position — the bench.
He's also the only one not viewed by his team's fans as some sort of savior. He will sit behind Randall Cunningham and Jeff George until he's ready to become Minnesota's quarterback of the future.
The others?
Tim Couch, No. 1 overall, is already the fan favorite to start for the new Cleveland Browns ahead of Ty Detmer, the journeyman picked up from the 49ers. His offensive line, anchored at the tackles by Lomas Brown and Orlando Brown is pretty decent.
Couch may have a chance to progress as quickly as Peyton Manning did last year because he has good handlers. Chris Palmer, the Browns' coach, was a quarterback coach and offensive coordinator, and had a major role in helping Drew Bledsoe and Mark Brunell achieve their potential.
Donovan McNabb, No. 2 overall. Like Couch, he's the fan favorite to start ahead of a journeyman, Doug Pederson. And like Palmer, Andy Reid, the Eagles' coach, is a quarterback guru.
But where Couch is a classic pro dropback passer, MNebanks played in an option offense at Syracuse. Moreover, he's playing behind a poor offensive line and the Eagles are probably far worse than expansion Cleveland and in a city where fan opinion turns quickly.
One plus: He's quick enough to scramble for his life. That also might be a minus — he didn't slide in college.
Cade McNown, No. 12 overall. He's in a worse position than McNabb. He was thrust into the starter's position when the Bears cut Erik Kramer just before camp, he held out for two weeks and Chicago may be worse than Philadelphia. McNown's got a winner's mentality but there are questions about his arm and his height.
**Akill Smith, No. 3 overall. Unsigned, perhaps because Cincinnati thinks it doesn't need him now with Jeff Blake to play quarterback. But the Bengals are a team with a shallow offensive line and a high injury potential.**
“It’s impossible,” Blake says of Smith's holdout. "He could come in and play, but I don't think he could be productive. He could get by on athletic ability, but that will only take you so far. That's why they have training camp. If you could come in off the street, you could do it."
Yes, Culpepper has to be happy to have landed where he did.
Browns lose in stadium opener
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — The Brows returned to Cleveland for the first time in nearly four years, opening their new $283 million stadium with a 24-17 exhibition loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday night.
It was an historic night for Cleveland, which hadn't held an NFL game since Dec. 17, 1985, when the Browns played their final game in old Cleveland Stadium before moving to Baltimore.
Led by Randall Cunningham and Cris Carter, the Vikings dominated the expansion Browns from the start. Cunningham was 11-of-12 for 124 yards before being replaced by Jeff George. Carter, whose 5-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter gave the Vikings a 14-0 lead, made five catches alone in the first period when Minnesota out gained the Browns 130 yards to 24.
Rookie Tim Couch, making his first NFL start for Cleveland, was 8-of-17 for 77 yards. Ty Detmer, expected to be the Browns starter when the regular season opens, threw two touchdown passes.

Denver has no tricks for Packers
The Associated Press
DENVER — Coach Mike Shanahan rarely tips his hand, but Saturday he said the Denver Broncos didn't plan any quarterback shuffles for their game today in Madison, Wis., against the Green Bay Packers.
Denver, from the quarterback rotation to the use of Terrell Davis, will present a similar approach to the one showed a week earlier against the Arizona Cardinals. The exception will be the use of Chuck Clements, who was brought back when Jeff Brohm sprained his right ankle.
"Bubby Brister will play the first 20 to 35 plays, and Brian Griese will finish the game," Shanahan said. "Possibly Clements will get a series or two depending how the game is going."
Davis isn't expected to be in beyond the second series. Against the Cardinals, Davis had six carries for 43 yards before retiring to the sideline.
"He will get about six carries and then it will be (Derek) Loville," Shanahan said. "Terrell will play more against Dallas next week. He will and the first unit will play about three-quarters of the game."
The game plan will continue to be a diluted one in comparison to a normal regular-season game. Brister indicated, and Shanahan concurred, it will be no more than 25 percent to 30 percent of the offense that teams would see come September.
"That is normally the case," Shanahan said. "We don't get too complicated with our game plan, we don't like to trick people, but simply like to go out and watch people execute."
He promised a few wrinkles and a more complicated game plan the next week against Dallas.
Bengals safety breaks neck, team handles trauma
The Associated Press
CINCINNATI — For the second time in three years, the Cincinnati Bengals are handling the tough emotions that come with having a player hospitalized with a serious neck injury.
Safety Kelvin Moore was in stable condition yesterday at a hospital in Pontiac, Mich., two days after he broke a vertebra in his neck while making a tackle in a preseason game against the Lions.
Moore has feeling in his arms and legs and is expected to make an excellent recovery, team Dr. Robert Heidt Jr. said. But he said there's no way to tell whether 24-year-old Moore will ever play again.
After watching film of the play, coach Bruce Coslet said Moore did everything right and still got hurt.
"It looked like he was a little bit stumbling into him and just bent his head back." Coslet said. "It just happened."
It brought back memories of how offensive lineman Scott Brumfield was hurt on Nov. 3, 1996, in a game in Baltimore. Brumfield banged heads with teammate Troy Sadowski and was temporarily paralyzed.
Brumfield made a full recovery from a spinal cord concussion and played for the Bengals in 1997, appearing in 15 games.
Moore's injury also brought back memories for Detroit fans. Former Lions Mike Utley and Reggie Brown suffered severe neck injuries this decade and had to retire.
"With these powerful athletes flying around and the collisions they generate, sometimes you wonder why there's not more of them," Coslet said. "But when it happens, it's devastating.
"It's part of the game, and injury always has been part of the game. When it
becomes career-ending or life-threatening or whatever other adjective you want to use, it puts things in perspective quick."
Moore was on the Bengals' practice squad last season as a rookie free agent. He was in line to be on the Bengals' special teams and play as an extra defensive back on passing downs.
His injury came one week after cornerback Ric Mathias hurt his knee, ending his season.
"You've got to say, 'Hey, we can't let this affect us,' and that's tough to do right now," Coslet said. "But you've to go on."

Mets edge Cardinals
McGwire slugs away, makes history again
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — New York Mets fans got all they wanted yesterday. They watched Mark McGwire make history, then saw their first-place team win a dramatic game.
McGwire hit two home runs and became the first player to reach 50 homers in four consecutive seasons, but the Mets came from five runs down and beat the St. Louis Cardinals-8 T Sunday
in the first game of a doubleheader
Big Mac launched a monstrous homer in the first inning against Octavio Dotel. He hit a 1-1 pitch an estimated 502 feet — his longest of the season — and left a dent about 60 feet high on the scoreboard in right-center.
1
McGwire: Enters the history books again.
"That's the farthest I think I've ever seen a ball hit."
Mets manager Boby Vadentine said.
The shot shattered a light bulb in the 16 for Ray Lankford's number — just a few feet below McGwire's 25. In the bottom of the third inning, a worker climbed up the back of the scoreboard and screwed in a new bulb.
McGwire's 50th homer looked routine compared to his first-inning blast. He led off the seventh with a fly ball that
just cleared the outstretched glove of Shawon Dunston in left-center and landed just over the 396-foot sign.
The Mets came back from a 6-1 deficit to tie it in the eighth on John Olerud's grand slam and Mike Piazza's 30th homer.
After McGwire's single in the ninth off Armando Benitez (2-2) — who struck out McGwire in his first six at-bats against the slugger — helped the Cardinals take a 7-6 lead, the Mets came back once again.
Ricky Bottalco (2-7) came on with one out and walked the first two batters he faced. Rickey Henderson followed with an RBI double before Alfonzo singled to left through a drawn-in infield to score Matt Franco with the winning run
"Big hits, big players." Valentine said.
"We play to the last out. We were down 6-1 and not doing much. But we came back."
The Mets poured out of the dugout to mob Alfonzo — a scene similar to their comeback win last month against the Yankees — and Robin Ventura lifted Henderson up on the pitcher's mound.
The Mets won for the 22nd time in 29 games to remain in first place in the NL East.
McGwire's homers came in his first career at-bats against Dotel and Tam. McGwire has seven multihomer games this season and 161 in his career. He also leads the NL with 116 RBIs.
McGwire moved ahead of his pace from his record 70-homer season, hitting No. 50 in the Cardinals' 124th game — one game earlier than last year, when he hit his 50th and 51st homers in a double-header at Shea.
That is the second-fastest pace ever, behind only Chicago's Sammy Sosa — who hit his 51st Saturday in the Cubs' 121st game.
Baseball managers may get the axe
The Associated Press
NEW YORK - The firing of Milwaukee's Phil Garner was only the start of what figures to become a major managerial reshuffling.
Rumors fly in majors of management changes
Jim Riggleman of the Chicago Cubs already is rumored to be on the way out and Larry Parrish of the Detroit Tigers could follow.
Neither Anaheim's Terry Collins nor Baltimore's Ray Miller appears safe. If the New York Mets miss the playoffs, part of the team's management may push for Bobby Valentine's departure.
For now, Davey Johnson seems to be safe in Los Angeles, even though the Dodgers could finish last despite the second-highest opening-day payroll at $79.2 million
Riggleman's Cubs, who made the playoffs as
the NL wild card last year, were last at 51-68 heading into the weekend. He's heard the rumors.
"It's part of the process," he said Friday. "If you're not winning at the rate we're not winning, it's always going to be there. I don't like it. It's one of those times I'm glad I'm not married. I wouldn't want my wife to see all that."
Cubs' players have made 16 trips to the disabled list, a group that includes pitchers Kerry Wood, Kevin Tapani, Jeremi Gonzalez, Terry Adams twice, Jon Leiber, Rick Aguilera and Matt Karchner.
After finishing last at 65-97 last year, the Tigers hoped for a big improvement this season that would give the team a boost before its move to Comerica Park next year. But Detroit began Friday in last place at 47-73, 26 games behind AL Central-leading Cleveland. Even Parrish has admitted his job is in
Even Parrish has admitted his job is in danger.
"If someone had told me during spring
training that Dean Palmer and Brad Ausmus would play like All-Stars, and that Jeff Weaver would pitch the way he has, I'd have said we're in the hunt for a wild-card playoff spot," general manager Randy Smith said. "But some other guys, who figured to have good seasons, have struggled."
Anaheim decided in June to give manager Terry Collins an extension through 2001, but the Angels clearly are disappointed with this season. After signing Mo Vaughn for $80 million during six years, they expected to go to the playoffs.
But the Angels, another team hurt by injuries, were last in the AL West at 49-71, 22 games behind first-place Texas and 11 behind third-place Seattle.
"We played a lot of guys that came out of spring training who were going to be in Triple-A or going to be our extra players." Collins said. "This team has played hard. We have gone through some tough times."
High school basketball tests 30-point rule
Regulation may help ease sting of lopsided contests
The Associated Press
by a little more quickly under a new rule that the Kansas State High School Activities Association is trying. This season, the time clock will continue to run in most cases if a team takes a 30-point lead in the second half.
PEABODY — The girls basketball team at Peabody-Burns High School couldn't ask for much more in a gym. It features shiny wood floors, glass backboards and three courts.
But the two-year-old gym has not helped the Lady Warriors win. The Class 2A team dropped eight games at home on the way to an 0-20 season. Fans who perched on dark blue, plastic bleachers watched their team lose 86-21 to Moundridge, 74-29 to Goessel and 80-37 to Inman.
The rule, which has received a mixed reaction from coaches and players, will apply to boys and girls in junior high and high school.
"It it gets old, sitting there getting stomped game after game," said Peabody-Burns coach Darla Long, who supports the rule. If the rule had been in effect last season, it would have applied in 12 of the team's games.
Under the rule, if a team takes a 30-point lead, the clock only stops for timeouts, a reference meeting with a scorer or timer, a technical, intentional or flagrant foul, when a player fouls out, or an emergency.
Those kinds of blowouts are supposed to go
Michigan also is experimenting with the rule this year. The National Federation of State High School Associations, based in Kansas City, Mo., has asked states to test the rule before deciding whether to make it permanent.
The clock wouldn't stop for routine fouls and free throws.
Paul Palmer, assistant executive director of the Kansas activities association, said he hopes the rule will encourage winning teams to substitute their best players and passmore before shooting. He said those things should help decrease the disparity in scores.
Jerry Diehl, assistant director of the federation, said the proposed rule arose out of concern about poor sportsmanship during routs.
"We've had some rather hideous kinds of situations," Palmer said of blowouts.

Wife runs to record, husband hurls for title
The Associated Press
SEVILLE, Spain — Now, Marion Jones has another contender to deal with — her husband.
As Jones, the defending champion in the women's 100 meters, was smashing the World Championships record during a quarterfinal heat Saturday, C.J. Hunter won his first major international title in the shot put with a career-best throw of 71 feet, 6 inches.
The usually passive 300-pound Hunter couldn't contain his emotions after the surprising throw on his final attempt ended John Godina's string of two consecutive title titles. He swung his arms
in windmill fashion and smiled broadly.
"Other than the birth of my kids and marriage to Marlon, this is the best thing in my life," Hunter said.
After his winning throw, Hunter made eye contact with Jones, who was sitting in the front row of the stands.
"I knew as soon as I let it go ..." Hunter said of the feeling on his final toss. "I didn't want to hold back."
Before Hunter began his celebration, the stage was set for some sizzling sprint times on the lightning-fast Olympic Stadium track. Jones and Maurice Greene, Kansas City, Kan. native, sending out strong messages with sparkling times in the quarterfinals.
Jones, seeking an unprecedented four golds, won her heat in 10.76 seconds, the fastest time in the world this year. She also advanced to today's final in the long jump, leaping 22 feet, 41/4 inches.
In the men's 100. Greene ran his seventh sub-10 race of the year and appeared ready to threaten his world record of 9.79.
"It's going to be a very fast final," Greene said. "Everybody's predicting I'll break (the record). We'll have to wait and see."
Greene beat one of his top rivals,
Canada's Bruny Surin, who clocked 9.95.
"My coach (John Smith) told me, 'Show 'em a little, but don't show 'em all of it,' said Greene, who also is competing in the
200 and 400 relav. "I believe I did that."
American Stacy Dragila, winner of the first world indoor women's pole vault title in 1987, completed a historic double, winning the first outdoor world title and equaling the world record of 15 feet, 1 inch.
Dragilia, a former roster performer, volleyball player and heptathlete, matched the pole vault record held by Australia's Emma George. Dragilia then missed three times at 15-3, not coming close on any attempt
"I came here with a plan," Dragila said. "I wanted to jump high, and I wanted to be on the podium. I didn't worry about what the other competitors would do.
Olympics will use blood tests to detect drugs
Effort announced after track scandals
The Associated Press
SEVILLE, Spain - Some form of blood testing will be introduced at next year's Sydney Olympics in a bid to improve detection of performance-enhancing drugs, the IOC
announced Fridav.
In another move to step up the fight against drugs, the International Olympic Committee affirmed that a world anti-doping agency will definitely be set up by the end of this year and will be operational for the Sydney Games.
Calls for blood testing at the Olympics have mounted in the wake of a spate of high-profile drug scandals in track and

OLYMPIC GAMES
field and other sports.
Several performance-enhancing drugs of choice, such as human growth hormone and EPO (erythropoietin), cannot be detected in standard urine tests.
The drug issue was a centerpiece of an IOC executive board meeting on the eve of the World Athletics Championships opening Saturday in Seville.
"There will be blood testing in Sydney, if not for doping control, at least for scientific research," IOC spokesman Franklin Servan-Schreiber said.
"The test work and we have a procedure," H. said, noting
that blood tests were carried out at the world short-course swimming championships in Hong Kong earlier this year.
The goal is to have a foolproof test that could be used as part of the official doping control procedures during the Sydney Games. Normally, all medalists, as well as other athletes chosen at random, are tested during the Olympics.
Supplements may be cause of positive tests
The Associated Press
SEVILLE, Spain — Spiked food supplements are apparently responsible for the recent flood of positive tests for the banned steroid Nandrolone, track and field's medical chief said Friday.
Arne Llunggvist, chairman of the International Amateur Athletic Federation's medical committee, said athletes may have ingested Nandrolone unwittingly in unlabeled over-the-counter supplements.
"It may be totally inadvertent," he said in an interview on the eve of the World Championships, which have been overshadowed by a series of high-profile doping scandals.
Experts have been puzzled by the sudden resurgence of Nandrolone, a muscle-building drug that has been around for decades and detectable in urine tests for years.
Sprint stars Merlene Otty and Linford Christie are among those athletes who have tested positive for Nandrolone. On Friday, Dutch sprinter Troy Douglas' name was added to the growing list.
The wave of Nandrolone cases spread Friday to the Arab Games in Amman, Jordan, where two Moroccan women athletes were stripped of their medals after positive tests.

Headliner cancels; festival called off
By Todd Halstead
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The Jayhawk Music Festival, Kappa Sigma fraternity's vehicle for philanthropy, will not last for the time being.
Travis Dillon, president of Kappa Sigma, said yesterday that the festival was canceled because the headlining act, Everlast, dropped out.
"He's ill in some way, but I don't know his condition." Dillon said.
The Festival was also sponsored by Lawrence radio station KLZR FM-105.9. Justin Parlette, KLZR employee, said that both Everlast and his mother were experiencing ill health.
This year's festival schedule included Everlast — formerly a member of House of Pain — as the headliner, and the Roots and Macy Gray, who were traveling with Everlast and also pulled out of the festival without reason.
The festival first appeared five years ago with 311 as the headliner. Since then, it has grown to attract such bands as the Violent Femmes and last year's headliners, Everclear and the Pharcyde.
Dillon said the festival was one of the first in a recent explosion of outdoor concerts.
"It it was a way for us to raise money to donate to charity," he said. "It started before a lot of the outdoor festivals like Lollapalooza got started."
"I was looking forward to going because it was my first time," said Jerreme Jackson, Lawrence sophomore. "I didn't know who all the bands were, but I like the Roots. It was going to be a good experience hanging out with the guys from my house and at Clinton Lake."
Justin Harriman, Overland Park senior, said: "I was surprised to hear the cancellation over the radio at Target. It too bad but if they're ill, they're ill."
Because rising ticket prices decreased sales last year, Kappa Sigma earned only enough money to pay for concert expenses.
In the festival's first three years, the fraternity earned enough money to donate $75,000 to charities.
The opening act for the festival was to be decided tonight at a Battle of the Bands at the bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire Street.
A spokesperson for the Bottleneck said the Battle of the Bands probably still would continue as scheduled.

Police investigate drowning death
By Katie Hollar
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Law enforcement officials are still investigating the death of a 22-year-old KU student found Friday in the Kansas River.
Aleene Elliott, funeral director of Elliott Mortuary in Attica, confirmed that Jarold E. Baker, Attica senior, was the drowning victim authorities retrieved from the river Friday morning at Bowersock Mills & Power Co. Elliott Mortuary released Baker's obituary Sunday evening.
Although Elliott Mortuary did identify Baker as the victim, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office has yet to do so. Lt. Don Crowe said the department hoped to have a 100-percent identification in the next couple of davs.
Crowe said Sheriff's department detectives had the victim's whereabouts traced to 11 p.m. last Tuesday night. No missing-person report was filed. Crowe said one of the victim's roommates said it was not uncommon
Crowe said an in-depth investigation would continue.
"We're just trying to figure out how he got in the river and why," he said.
The last time Jason Topliff, Goodland senior, saw his friend was last Monday night. Topliff also talked to Baker on the phone last Tuesday.

Baker had lived in Pearson Scholarship Hall for two years. Yesterday one of his former hallmates, Ethan Good, Marion senior, said that Baker's car was still parked at his apartment miles away from the river. Good added that Baker was an avid cyclist and wondered whether he had an accident while cycling.
"None of us noticed anything unusual." Tomliff said.
Baker's professors and peers mourned the loss of a student and friend.
"Iam saddened by the death of KU student Jarold Baker. It is a tragedy when one so young and with so much promise is lost," Chancellor Robert Hemenway said in a statement issued yesterday afternoon.
Hemenway sent his condolences to Baker's family and friends.
Baker studied aerospace engineering at the University and planned to graduate in May.
Local services for Jarold Baker, shown in this 1995 photo, will take place Thursday. Contributed photo
Richard Hale, assistant professor of aerospace engineering, had Baker in class.
"He was an outstanding hard worker," Hale said. "He was the kind of student you like to get."
Hale said that Baker was a hands-on kind of guy and that he really understood what he was doing.
"We consider it a real loss. He could have made a real contribution." Hale said.
Topliff was Baker's roommate when he lived in Pearson.
Topliff said Baker also enjoyed tennis, rac
"He was just a person who would be a friend to anyone," Topliff said.
quetball and cooking in the scholarship hall. Robert Choromanski, Lenexa senior, also lived with Baker in Pearson. He said that Baker was always concerned for others and that hall residents often went to him with their problems.
Baker was a member of Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship and attended Clinton Parkway Assembly of God Church, 3200 Clinton Parkway. He participated in the church's "Adopt-a-College-Student" program and was adopted by Lawrence residents Jim and Debbie Hall.
Jim Hall said he had known Baker for one year. He said Baker routinely ate meals with his family and took his three young daughters out to dinner and movies.
"He was real friendly," Hall said. "He'd do anything for you. He was a model person as far as I'm concerned."
A service was held yesterday in Attica at the United Methodist Church. A second service is planned for 7 p.m. Thursday at Clinton Parkway Assembly of God Church.
The family said memorial contributions could be made to the Jarold Baker Memorial Scholarship at Chapparal High School or to the Chi Alpha Christian fellowship in care of Elliott Mortuary.

New laws put pets, owners on shorter leash
By Derek Prater
Kansan staff writer
This summer, the Lawrence City Commission passed three ordinances requiring stricter pet control.
JUNE 1975
Students returning to campus this fall with pets in tow face a new set of rules regarding how to control them.
"They've just got more teeth in it than our old ones," said Gayle Martin, communications coordinator for the City of Lawrence.
Dede Dresser, Lawrence resident, walks around Putter Lake with her three dogs, Spud, Telo, and Scooter. Scooter and Telo are in violation of the animal-at-large ordinance, passed by the city this summer. Photo by Eve Katz/KANSAN
The ordinances address three issues—animals at large, removal of animal excrement and dangerous dogs.
Sgt. Doug Bell, who heads the animal control unit, said students might run into the most trouble with the animal-at-large ordinance.
"Some of them will take their animals to class with them and leave them tied up to a tree," Bell said. "They can't do that anymore."
Dogs must be on a leash and under physical control by owners everywhere in the city, Bell said. They cannot be tied to a tree or a post and left alone, whether on campus, downtown or anywhere else.
Angie Uskokovich, St. Louis senior, said that she understood why the new ordinances were created and that keeping her dog on a leash all of the time was a pain.
"I think it's a good law for people who let their dogs run wild, but my dog is trained and obeys commands," she said. "I shouldn't have to keep him on a leash all the time."
Uskokovik said she was especially unhappy that her dog wouldn't be allowed to run around in parks or on campus.
emphasize that the police were not out looking for animals at large. Instead, she said, they would respond to complaints, and the ordinances would provide more concrete guidelines about how to handle complaints.
While police are not looking for them, Martin said they would take action if they come across an unattended animal.
Martin said the city wanted to

mal-at-large ordinance. Their owners voiced nearly an hour worth of opposition to the at-large ordinance at the July 20 city commission meeting. Cats not on their owners' property are considered "at-large" unless restrained by leashes.
In addition to keeping pets on a leash, pet owners are now responsible for removing animal excrement left behind by their pets under the
"pooper-scooper" ordinance.
Uskokovich said she thought the ordinance was a good law.
"That's just basic respect for other people," she said.
The commission decided to look into revising animal control policies after two pit bulls killed a terrier in May. The pit bulls weren't destroyed, but the owner was fined.
David Corliss, legal advisor for the city, said the commission wanted to
New Pet Ordinances
The Lawrence City Commission has recently passed ordinances requiring stricter pet control.

go beyond that issue to create more comprehensive animal policies.
He said the animal-at-large ordinance replaced a command-and-control rule that was subject to individual interpretation.
The dangerous dog ordinance is the city's response to a call by some Lawrence residents to ban pit bulls from the city altogether. Instead, the ordinance sets the guidelines for classifying dangerous dogs, controlling those deemed dangerous and penalizing owners who don't control them.
A dog must be deemed dangerous through an administrative hearing, then registered annually with the city and kept in a locked enclosure to keep the dog in and children out.
Not all of the animal ordinances passed were directed at controlling animals and protecting humans. The commission also passed an animal cruelty ordinance to protect animals from humans. Violators can be fined up to $1,000 and spend as much as six months in jail for each offense.

University of Kansas recognized for excellence by national publications
By Chris Borniger
writer @kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
Two publications released this month once again have ranked the University of Kansas as one of the top public universities in the nation. State
nation.
In a tie with Iowa State University, U.S. News & World Report ranked the University No. 38 in a list released last week of the top public universities. And the year 2000 edition of the Fiske Guide to Colleges named the University one of the nation's best buys in higher education.
Provost David Shulenburger said the University's repeated appearance on the lists had created a standard to fulfill.
The Fiske Guide described its "best buy" universities as ones that offered remarkable educational opportunities at a relatively modest price. Only 21 universities received that distinction, including three other Big 12 Conference schools — Texas, Colorado and Baylor universities.
"KU has a quality that compares with the best universities in the country," he said. "I think it's a wonderful thing to get a reference of this kind."
The guide said KU was an excellent deal.
The University also earned four stars out of a possible five for academics, social life and quality of life. Texas and Colorado also earned four stars for academics, while Baylor, Texas A&M, Iowa State University, and the universities of Missouri, Oklahoma and Nebraska earned three stars for academics.
The University is the only institution in Kansas mentioned in the guide.
Shulenburger and the University's high out-of-state enrollment and its position as a level-one research university made
the institution stand out.
"We're attracting students from around the country," he said. "Not only does KU offer national quality, but the students recognize it. The credentials you get here are credentials that mean something."
In its evaluation, the guide specifically cited the University's programs in journalism, architecture, film and television, theater, child language development, finance and accounting. The University's study abroad program and scholarship halls also were mentioned.
John Gaunt, dean of architecture, said he was pleased with the citation because there was no national

ranking of architecture schools.
"All we can do is form an impression, and these kinds of references always help," Gaunt said. "That impression engenders a sense of confidence in students, in the school and the faculty, and helps in any creative work they do. We welcome any such accolade."
The guide profiled 300 universities around the nation, gathering data through surveys and interviews. U.S.News & World Report ranked universities by assigning scores in 16 academic areas and computing a composite score.

Sgt. Troy Mailen said the meter was removed from the ground between 3 p.m. Thursday and 7:45 a.m. Friday from Lot 90 near Robinson Center.
The meter contained about $50 in change, and the meter was valued at $500.

Police find knife used to stab KU employee
Bowen P. Dino, 25, the suspect in Saturday morning's stabbing, remains in custody at the Douglas County Jail on charges of attempted voluntary manslaughter, Lawrence police said. Bond is set at $50.000.
The victim, 21-year-old Aron Guthrie, a KU employee, initially was treated at Lawrence Memorial Hospital and then was transferred to University of Kansas Medical Center, police said. Guthrie was being treated for possible nerve damage to his jaw.
Officer David Anderson said police had recovered the weapon, a folding buck knife with a 4 3/4-inch blade. Dino allegedly stabbed Guthrie after a fight shortly after midnight Saturday at 12th and Ohio streets.

Suspects still at large after robbing students
Police continue to search for two men who robbed six KU students and a Lawrence resident early Sunday morning at Colony Woods Apartments, 1301 W. 24th St., Lawrence police said.
Three KU students were approached at a downtown coffee shop Saturday night by two men who asked them if they wanted to buy any marijuana.The three said no.
They later saw the same two men outside Building C at Colony Woods. The men asked about a party and whether they wanted marijuana again.
When the students said no, one of the suspects removed a small black revolver from his pants pocket, pointed it at one of the students and demanded money, police said.
The victim said he had no money. After one of the men punched him in the face, he gave them his watch. The suspects obtained watches from two of the three victims.
Meanwhile, two more KU students walked past Building C and saw the two suspects talking to the first three victims. Lawrence Police said the two newcomers were acquainted with the first three, and, not knowing that anything was wrong, walked into the robbery.
Two more victims became involved after parking their car. After they got out of the car, the two suspects approached them and demanded money. As one of the victims handed over his wallet, he saw that one of the suspects held a knife. After the other victim told the suspects he had no money, he was struck in the face.
The first suspect was described as an African American about six-foot-three, thin, wearing black shorts and a black tank top. The second suspect was described as six-foot African American, with a heavier build and wearing a white T-shirt, a collared shirt and blue jeans.
Some subscribers get more bang for the buck
-Katie Hollar
The University Daily Kansan is now being delivered to the doorsteps of some students who live off campus.
The Kansan is now an insert in copies of the Lawrence Journal-World delivered to about nine apartment complexes across Lawrence. Beginning last week, students at certain complexes with Journal-World subscriptions have been receiving the Kansan each weekday morning.
Ralph Gage, general manager of the JournalWorld, said he hoped the arrangement would improve the readership of both papers.
Tom Eblen, Kansan general manager, said the arrangement helped create a wider distribution for the paper.
"It allows us to get the student paper in the hands of Journal-World subscribers when they don't come to campus," Eblen said. "This is really, by far, the most practical way for us to distribute our paper."

Gage said he and Eblen would evaluate the arrangement after the fall semester.

Internet site returned to area anti-gay group
TOPEKA—An anti-gay Web site owned by pastor Fred Phels Sr.'s church is accessible again after people trying to find it were diverted for three days to a site that preaches love for homosexuals.
From Wednesday until Friday afternoon, computer users looking for www.godhatesfags.com, which is owned by Westboro Baptist Church, found www.godlovesfags.com., owned by Kris Haight, a 22-year-old gay man from Newport, N. H.
Height said he returned the site, which he obtained Wednesday, after the church's attorney threatened to sue his employer.
Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church are well-known for their anti- gay demonstrations.
The attorney, who is Phelps' daughter, said she made no such threat, although she noted that it would not be wrong to do so. She contacted both the FBI and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
Haight denies that he hacked into an e-mail account and said he received an e-mail Tuesday telling him that he would receive ownership of the Web site. He would not identify the sender.
Hight said he decided to give the site back to the church on Friday.
The Web site's notice on Friday gave users a choice of clicking on either Web site. Church officials said its Web site would be up and running within a day.

Iraq claims U.S. forces killed two in attack
BAGHADH, Iraq — American and British warplanes killed two people Monday in an attack on a northern Iraqi town, Iraq's armed forces said.
The U.S. military said allied planes shot at an Iraqi military radar station after being fired upon by Iraqi anti-aircraft guns.
A statement from the U.S. European Command in Stuttgart, Germany, did not mention casualties, saying only that damage to Iraqi forces was being assessed.
The Iraqi armed forces said U.S. and British planes flew 18 sorties over northern Iraq, bombing the town of Ba' sheqa. The town is 280 miles north of Baghdad.
The U.S. military said the allied planes were fired on Monday while patrolling the no-fly zone in northern Iraq.

Effects of storm's destruction felt in southern Texas
The Associated Press
RIVERIA, Texas—A blustery shadow of its former self, Hurricane Bret was downgraded to a tropical storm yesterday as it plodded across a sparsely populated swath of southern Texas.
There was little structural damage in Sarita, the only town in Kenedy County and home to 460 people, but power lines and trees were down.
The storm, the biggest hurricane to strike Texas in nearly 20 years, continued to drench the region with thunderous squalls today, but no injuries had been reported since Bret made landfall about 6 p.m. Sunday in Kenedy County.
Up to 25 inches of rain fell by early yesterday on the coastal plains of Kenedy County, where the average rainyfall for a whole year is 29.7 inches, the National Weather Service said. Rain tapered off there but continued falling elsewhere, and there was a chance of flooding in places plus isolated tornadoes.
The King Ranch occupies much of Kenedy and Kleberg counties. Ranch president Jack Hunt said about 50 people had evacuated before Bert arrived and had left 55,000 head of cattle to fend for themselves.
a tornado between Rockport and Aransas Pass destroyed a mobile home and damaged several other buildings, the Aransas County sheriff's department reported yesterday.
Damage was substantial in Falfurrias, about 60 miles southwest of Corpus Christi, Mayor Michael Guerra said. The eye passed over the town of about 5,800 residents about 3 a.m., ripping roofs from homes and businesses, he said. Up to 90 percent of the town had no electricity, he said.
"We have a lot of debris and live power lines in the roads, and we've had four convenience stores lose the canopies from their gas pumps," he said. Maior damage also was reported in Port
Major damage also was reported in Port Mansfield, about 50 miles north of Brownville.
Power outages were reported from the state's southern tion to the counties surrounding Corpus Christi.
Power outages were reported from the state's southern tip to the counties surrounding Corpus Christi.
Bret was expected to turn toward Mexico, where more than 3,500 people near the Rio Grande have been evacuated because of the possibility of flooding.

Web site finds students' 'Best Book Buys'
Local book store is not worried yet
By Todd Halstead
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students looking to avoid inordinate text book costs may be able to do so by purchasing new and used books at a discount from online book retailers.
"We help students find out who's got what books online and at the best price," said Steve Loyola, president of Best Book Buys at www.BestBookBuys.com.
Visitors to the site, operated out of Los Angeles, can use it to search the 26 bookstores that work in conjunction with Best Book Buys to find text books, audio books and out of print books for the lowest price.
Loyola said he recently found an obscure book for a student called Applied Statistics and Probability for Engineers, which was listed at the student's university for $108, for $22 from a dealer having a close-out sale.
The company is comprised of Loyola and two friends and was picked
as the best online book dealer search engine in Money magazine's May 1999 issue. It is also expanding to offer music discounts with the launch of BestMusicBuys.com planned for today.
"We plan on branching out into many other categories, but we're taking it slow in order to ensure quality," Loyola said.
Best Book Buys also is providing a contest eligible to officially-recognized university groups and organizations running through Nov. 15,1999. The group who has the most people submit an official
entry form wins $2,000, second place $1,000, and third place $500.
Students who opt to search for text books themselves have a wide range of options, including classbook.com, amazon.com, buybooks.com, bigwords.com, vivasmart.com, bookstreet.com, barnesandnoble.com, bookcloseouts.com, atbooks.com, bookpool.com, booksamillion.com, classbook.com, borders.com, cheapybooks.com, and books.com.
Terri Shank, spokesperson for efollet.com, said with students spending more time on the Internet, it is a "natural progression" for
students to start purchasing text books online. The Web site serves the Kansas and Burge Unions.
"We look forward to being competitive with online book dealers," Michael Lammers, manager of the University Book Shop, said. "I don't think at this point its going to be a big issue. We have a large selection of used text books and that saves students money. We're also local and that makes it easier for students to return books. I don't think it's going to be that big of a deal."

'Queer Radio' to replace 'Simply Sex' in KJHK slot
By Emily Hughey
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
With the first fall at full-powered frequency and a revitalized Web site in the works, KJHJ launched the semester with a new sound.
KATWAN
Students who desire new listening options can tune in to "Queer Radio" with Buck, which is going across the airwaves every Monday. "Queer Radio" replaced Monday's 5 to 6 p.m. siot, formerly occupied by "Simply Sex."
"It's a radio magazine," Buck Rowland, host of "Queer Radio," said. "It will have music of all kinds and interviews, both academic, political and entertaining."
However, though both shows are sex-related, the climate of Rowland's show will be far different.
"It's much more intelligent than 'Simply Sex' was," Elena Abatgis, program director of KJHK, said. "There will probably be some sexual topics on 'Queer Radio' but he doesn't want it to be too sexual."
Rowland, a Wichita graduate student, said he wanted to entertain audiences of all kinds with a more high-brow atmosphere.

"We want to show the variety of the lives that queers live," Rowland said. "We hope it has a sound in the vein of college radio, public radio and Top 40 radio."
Although Rowland said his show included topics and music he deemed queer, he said he didn't claim to be a representative of the lesbian, gay or transgendered communities. He said he wanted everyone to enjoy his show.
I'm not catering to them,but I'm including them."
"I don't in any way feel I represent all LBGT people," Rowland said. "But this is a format which LBGT people can listen to and be included.
Jack Shay, social coordinator for Queers and Allies, said he hadn't listened to the show yet, but he was looking forward to it.
"I know Buck really well, and the influence he'll have in any radio show, queer or otherwise, will be great." Shay said.
Gary Hawke, faculty adviser for KJHK, said he expected a great semester for the station with a mixture of old and new. Regular listeners can look forward to the return of programs like Radio Babylon with Fernando Poo, Malicious Intent with Mean Dean and the Jukebox Polka hour.
"Basically, Hip Hop Hype is always very popular and Malicious Intent with Mean Dean and Jukebox Polka — everybody knows that guy." Abgatis said. "And Fernando Poo, he does sort of electronic stuff, anything that has to do with the man taking over the world. People listen all over the world on the Internet to him."

Technology fee worked smoothly because of all-around cooperation
While rising student fees are a valid concern, students should listen to the story of a student-fee dollar well spent.
Last year, when the $1 technology fee was instated, the Legislature matched each student dollar with $2 of state funding and created approximately $1.8 million specified for technological improvements at the University of Kansas
Lindy Eakin, associate provost for support services, said the money was divided three ways. Approximately one-third went directly to each school based on its enrollment. Therefore, an engineering student's dollar improved technology within the school of engineering.
Student fees can succeed but should not become a rule.
A student advisory committee distributed another third for information and technology projects. The final third advanced the University's technological infrastructure by upgrading the fiber-optic backbone that connects all buildings on campus and increases transmission speed along the network.
Eakin said the progress the schools had been able to make with the additional technology funding was tremendous. He said the upgrade placed the University in the top 100 universities for
Internet activity.
The specific student technology fee worked properly and efficiently, because it allowed student money to go directly back to students for a specific purpose. And, the need for improved technology simply could not be put off.
Nevertheless, definite concern exists that the trend of specific fees will force students to bear more of the financial burden for what traditionally was covered by the state. Shifting costs to the students, even when the money directly benefits them, could help push the cost of higher education out of reach of more Kansans.

Joe's Bakery: Coming soon
Traditions are an integral part of the college experience. It takes years for traditions to form, and when a tradition is broken, it can be a disturbing event. This is what happened last year when Joe's Bakery did not reopen after Thanksgiving break.
But now there is good news for those who have been going into sugar withdrawal because of the bakery's closure. Joe's Bakery will reopen its doors sometime around Labor Day.
Joe's Bakery has been a fixture in Lawrence since its opening in 1954. For 45 years, KU students have satisfied their late-night bakery cravings by going to Joe's Bakery to enjoy pastries such as bear claws, cinnamon rolls and fritters. The tradition of going to Joe's was so longstanding that students would flock there a generation after their parents did while they were students at the University. Joe's Bakery is featured as a popular hangout by practically every college guide, has been a part of several Kansan stories and is even featured on the KU version of Monopoly. Because of some personal problems of the bakery's owner, it has not been open since last fall.
Joe's Bakery will be back soon. Hopefully its tradition will continue for a long time.
the scholarship halls no longer could make their traditional Joe's runs. Cookies to celebrate birthdays
no longer could be bought there. A late night sweet tooth could not be satisfied by quick visits to Joe's. For nearly a year, students have had to find alternate sources for their bakery and late-night snacking needs.
Now, there is excitement in the air because the tradition is set to be put back into place. Sophomores who missed their brief window of opportunity to sample this tradition can find out if it lives up to the hype, and freshman have their chance to try it for the first time.
Most importantly, traditionalists who have been dejected since Joe's closing can breathe easier. A favorite KU pastime is being restored, hopefully just as strong as ever.

Perspective
Lawrence is a landlord's market. Even though college students put enough money to run a small country into local businesses and sales taxes, landlords are the true beneficiaries of our cold hard cash.
Tenants should make landlords clean house
es, unfinished carpentry,
rats and carpet stains that
could easily pass for police
evidence, and landlords get
to charge whatever they
want for nothing less than a
12-month lease.
Think about it, we deal with faulty electrical outlets, last-minute apartment switches, roach-
True, many of the houses and apartments in the "student ghetto," the area of Louisiana to Massachusetts Streets and from 9th to 19th Streets, are older than God and to expect anything in the Martha Stewart realm is unrealistic. Also, this area

in general is pretty smarmy    there are random drunks urinating on cars, domestic quarrels at 2 a.m. and burglaries. (Whoever stole my Weber grill from my porch, you know who you are, bring it back!) But living off-campus should not mean that your living place can't be decent.
not mean that your living place can be deceitful. As school begins, a fairly stressful time in itself, many of us are trying to clean up the last tenants' messes or complex blunders. On the first day of class, I ran into three friends on Wescoe beach whom I had not spoken to in at least three months. The first topic of conversation revolved around their personal rental hells. The main feeling was helplessness.
Don't feel helpless. We are students, we are the future of society, we can legally drive, smoke cigarettes and buy porn. It's a shame to know that just when sales clerks stop following us around stores to see if we will shoplift, we move on to situations in which we get cheated and charged at the same time.
Activist Bobby Seale said, "Power to the people!" and I think we should grab hold of our predicaments and take control. Technically, these landlords, property monsters or on-site apartment managers, are working for us. Let's start making them really work for us.
For complaints about repairs and lease disputes, Legal Services for Students at the University of Kansas, 864-5665, handles cases for 3,000 students a year. In 1998, 15 to 20 percent of cases were landlord-tenant disputes.
Unfortunately, it often takes a call from
Do not hesitate to call the Kansas Department of Health and Environment at 842-4600 if you have rats or roaches. Seriously, do not slack on this one. If your home is infested, your landlord has to pay for damages and housing for you until the creatures have been removed.
mommy or daddy to actually get things done. Man, that's embarrassing. One of the purposes of college is to live apart from our caregivers and establish life skills that will someday enable us to go to the bathroom without our parents hovering over us with wads of toilet paper.
Just because Lawrence landlords treat tenants like they're five years old, doesn't mean we have to act like infants. To independently solve these problems you've got to let your fingers do the ranting and raving. Try calling the Better Business Bureau of Northeast Kansas, Inc. at 766-2009. I know it seems like a lame idea, but this institution cares about fraudulent advertising and management companies who do not provide clean, safe residences. Plus, it's a great threat.
Housing and Credit Counseling Inc. in Lawrence and Topeka, 749-4224, can also provide assistance.
When you're in a situation like this, the best thing to do is A) Stop talking to your friends about it. They've heard it, and they have their own problems, and B) Find out your rights. Two years ago I found out most judges will award you money if you take a roommate to court who neglects to pay rent on a multi-person lease with no cosigner. I never had to do it, but it made me feel better just knowing I could have my day in court.
Most of all, I recommend bugging your landlord into submission, especially if they have 50 other tenants with minor complaints. This is one instance where persistence works, unlike in dating or using duct tape. Just don't be too obnoxious, you'll regret it when you're trying to get your deposit back.

KU student in Costa Rica finds clean air, pure life
In a country where the No. 1 business is gingo dollars, this town is not a tourist destination. Foreigners stick to locales with bigger surfing waves, white sand beaches and large resorts. Golfoft, at first glance with Midwestern eyes, appears to be a miserable sprawl of tinfooed shacks stuck in the middle of nowhere. But the locals love it and are happy with the sedate speed of life, clean air, relative safety
Golfito lies at the end of the road in southwestern Costa Rica, a funky, worn-down town of 15,000 tucked into a protected golf along the Pacific coast. The road and the town cling tenuously to the sharp, jungly hills that spill into the turquoise water of the Golfo Dulce.
Marcello
Started as a United Fruit Company banana port, Golffo suffered an economic collapse when the company left in 1985. To remedy the situation, the city was declared a duty-free port in 1990. Ticos, or native Costa Ricans, swarm to the town on weekends and holidays to spend their $500 yearly allotment on televisions, stereos, refrigerators, tires and other imports.

free compound of 52 stores employs more than 700 locals. Taxes from the stores support social welfare programs throughout the country.
Elsewhere in the town, there are rooms for rent known as cabinas, small restaurants called sodas, grocery stores, a gas station and numerous hole-in-the-wall bars and bars.

walk, popping open umbrellas when it rains—a daily occurrence during the wet season.
The rain creeps up slowly most afternoons, usually without the thunder, lightning and flare of a Midwest soaker. Instead, the clouds work over the hills and then dump their contents on tin roofs, asphalt and plants. My host brother claims it once rained for a week straight. When it isn't raining, the humidity keeps paper products a bit damp and jeans on the line for four or five days.
In the jungle, a cloudy day dims the light drastically, while the dense plants hungry soak up moisture—shooting out monstrous leaves and a scattering of bright flowers wherever possible.
The forested hills around Golfto are a reserve of secondary growth rain forest. This land protects the city's water supply and provides an easy escape to pristine waterfalls, chilly mountain streams and beautiful ocean vistas. In the jungle, you can sense one of the world's best oxygen factories at work as you drink in the pure, sweet air.
For this reason, the University of Kansas' Estudios Tropicales program is located here. Former United Fruit Company offices house the program's one classroom, small library, computer lab and offices for the six professors. This semester there are nine students, about half the number that is usually here. We arrived August 4 in Golfift and have been in orientation since, working on our language skills, Costa Rican history and getting to know the town. On August 23 classes begin—biology, birds, oceanography, mangroves and other subjects will be our focus for the next four months.
Already, one lesson has stuck: Pura vida! It's the mantra, ethos, hello and bottle-clinking toast of the Ticos. Pure life. Pura vida!

Watkins offers immunizations
Certain students may need shots
By Amber Stuever
By Amber Steuer writer @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Watkins Memorial Health Center is reminding new students to get immunized now to avoid enrollment holds next semester.
Approximately 2,000 students were not allowed to enroll last fall for the spring semester because they had not been properly immunized or had failed to produce documentation of immunization when they came to the University.
Randall W. Rock, chief of staff at Watkins, said the center hoped to avoid future enrollment holds by reminding students to follow University policy, which requires vaccinations for measles, mumps and rubella.
"The policy is a way to enforce people getting caught up, and it protects the individual, and it protects the campus community from infection and disease," he said.
Most students received the required vaccinations before entering kindergarten or first grade. However, international students may have been subject to different policies in their native countries. Also, some students born in the 1960s and early 1970s may have received their vaccinations under a different protocol that has since been found to be inadequate.
"The initial protocol was found to be less than universally effective and new protocol have been established to hopefully guarantee life-long immunity." Rock said.
Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) are common childhood illnesses that can cause serious problems during adulthood or pregnancies. Possible effects of measles are rashes, coughs, and fevers and the illness can cause ear infections, seizures, brain damage or even death.
Mumps can cause fevers, headaches and swollen glands and it can lead to deafness, swelling of the testicles and ovaries, or rarely, death

Diane Hendry, Watkins' supervisor of radiology and MMR immunization administrator, said students who still needed shots would be reminded by mail soon. She said Watkins didn't yet know how many students still needed immunizations this year.
"Nobody wants to be sick, and nobody wants to be out of class for two weeks," Hendry said.
Erin McAovy, Chicago freshman, said she had no idea whether her shots were updated, but she understood the concern.
"I don't really worry about it, but I think it's really good that they require us to make sure everyone is so-called healthy around here," she said.
Students can get MMR immunizations at the immunization window at the radiology department in the east hallway of Watkins, by appointment or walk in to the general medicine clinic. MMR shots cost $10.
Watkins also offers optional immunizations cheaper than students would find at most medical clinics.
Immunizations can help prevent diseases such as cholera, influenza, hepatitis A and B, lymerix, yellow fever and chicken pox. The cost of some of the immunizations may be covered by insurance.

Vaccines may be used to kill junkies' buzzes
The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — Designer antibodies may sometimes be used to immunize people against the rush that users of cocaine and other drugs crave.
If these vaccines fulfill their promise, they could revolutionize emergency treatment for PCP and amphetamine users. And though they won't cure addiction, they could also help people who want to kick the habit, researchers say.
"Our goal would be to protect against the sudden unexpected urge to use, so that if the patient used it, he wouldn't get the effects," said Dr. Michael Owen, a pharmacologist at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences who hopes to begin tests this year on a PCP overdose treatment.
The illegal drugs all have molecules so tiny they sneak unnoticed through the body's immune system. To create antibodies, researchers must hook the molecule to a protein big enough to set off the immune system's alarms.
The drug-plus-protein can be injected directly, to prompt the body to make its own antibodies. Or scientists can create the antibodies by working with laboratory animals and then inject them into patients.
Either way, the antibody grabs the drug in the bloodstream before it
At least that's how it works in animals so far.
Antibodies could be used to treat an overdose or block a drug's effects for a longer period, perhaps a month or more.
gets to the brain.
PCP intoxication can be fatal, and both it and amphetamine psychosis can leave permanent mental scars, said Frank Vocci, head of medications development for the National Institute on Drug Abuse and Alcoholism.
The ability to bind the drugs to antibodies could be a major leap forward in treatment for them, he said.
Cocaine addiction is a much bigger and trickier problem. More than 2 million people need treatment. About 900,000 a year start treatment, but at least three-quarters go back to the drug. Vocci said.
"Maybe if we had something to help them out for the initial period, it might boost the efficacy keep them in longer," he said.
One cocaine vaccine, developed by a biomedical company in Massachusetts, is already being tried on people at a Connecticut clinic.
The study was not designed to look at the effectiveness of the vaccine, but a few of the participants reported that cocaine "doesn't seem to have the bang that it used to have," Kosten said.

ESPN2 offers late-night TV alternative
I can't help it. I'm a television-age baby.
When it's time to relax, I sink into a warm, bum-like couch, assume the fetal position and allow a 3/4-inch cable to become my umbilical cord.
And what a magical cord it is, nurturing my hunger for sports, sports and more sports. Football, baseball, basketball, golf and women's billiards?
Perhaps the best thing about the glut of sports programming is the coverage of sports that stray outside the mainstream. Of course, some are ridiculous. I certainly don't need to watch some no-neck Canadian freak see how far he can carry a keg in the 1976 World's Strongest Man Competition.
But every now and again, I find myself hooked on the intricacies of a sport that I encountered only by the grace of my precious cable.
One such experience came a little more
than a year ago.
Blurry eyed, I was doing some late-
night channel surfing and finding
nothing that interested me. As I
flipped through what I like to think
of as the heart of the batting
line-up,
channels 44-46, an enormous man
wearing what appeared to be a dia-
mage caught my attention. ESPN2 was
Ivan Ivanovich
Derek Prater columnist sports@kanan.com
showing a Sumo wrestling tournament,
and it blew my mind.
The wrestler who caught my attention wasn't Asian. I wasn't even sure he was a man. You've heard the expression "manmountain." At 6-feet-7 and 728 pounds, Emanuel Yarbrough is a whole mountain range.
To most Americans, myself included at the time, Sumo is little more than a bit of corpulent comedy. Two big, fat Asian men with buns in their hair, bellies and butts hanging out of diapers and the smack of tubby tummies as they grope at each others diapers. How could this be a serious sport?
Yarbrough is a nightclub bouncer from New Jersey, and I'm sure that if he were to "bounce" me, I'd end up swimming in the Atlantic.
Preter is an Lawrence graduate student in journalism.
What was even more impressive than Yarbrough's girth was when an Asian wrestler about half of Yarbrough's size stepped up and tossed him on his enormous duff. I forget the other wrestler's name, but he overpowered a 728-pound man and made it look relatively easy.
This is serious stuff. Good Sumo wrestlers use strategy, technique and determination to go along with their massive bodies and strength. Balance is the key, and wrestlers must understand how to maintain their own while trying to knock off their opponent's.
After I got into the skills involved, I learned the history and traditions of the sport, which are even more cool. Sumo is to Japan what baseball is to the United States, only about 1,000 years older.
Sumo is one of the earliest forms of martial arts, and its traditions are derived from Japanese culture. Shinto, Japan's oldest religion, has a strong influence on the way wrestlers conduct themselves. They must always act in a dignified and courteous manner, probably not along the lines of our professional football players.
Those diapers? They're called mawashi. After a wrestler throws on his mawashi, he climbs onto the dohyo (the ring) and throws salt to purify the ring. He then holds out his hands to show he's unarmed, claps them together to alert the gods, stamps his feet to ward off evil spirits, squats and faces his opponent to show respect.
How could any sport with so much tradition be thought of as silly? Especially when compared to the World's Strongest Man Competition, which I must admit I've also watched blurry-eyed in my dark, warm living room.

Pair of hat tricks get win for team
By Chris Wristen
cwristen@ukans.edu
Kansas sportswriter
Maybe Lindsey Horner's teammates saw this coming.
Horner, junior forward, whose teammates refer to her as "Tap," did quite a bit of tapping yesterday at the expense of Park College goalkeepers Jenni Visala and Helene Balmir, as she netted three goals to help lead the Kansas women's soccer team to a 7-0 exhibition victory at Park.
The game was Kansas' final tune-up before Friday's regular season and conference opener against Colorado.
The Jayhawks came on fire, unloading 20 shots during the first period. They didn't connect on any of them, with their closest opportunity coming just over a minute into the game on junior forward Hilla Rantala's sliding attempt that blasted off the crossbar.
"The first 30 minutes I thought we dominated the ball," coach Mark Francis said. "We had a lot of chances, but we didn't do a good job of finishing in the first period."
That changed in the second period when Horner entered the game.
The scoring barrage began in the 37th minute when Johanna Larsson, senior midfielder, fed a pass to Horner who tapped it past the keeper into the left side of the net. Just more than a minute later she struck again, snagging a pass from Kylie Watts, junior defender, and burying the shot from 20 yards out. Midway
through the period she completed the hat trick by burying a shot off a pass from Katie Hensley, junior midfielder.
On the third one I had time to set up my shot, so I figured I might as well go for it," Horner said.
When the third period arrived it was Melanie Schroeder's turn to join the show by adding a hat trick of her own.
Schroeder, sophomore forward, who along with Watts, led the team in shots attempted with eight, netted her first goal on a solo run down the right side of the field. Four minutes later she scored from the top of the box off a cross from Mervi Kuittinen, freshman midfielder. Meghann Haven, junior forward, added a goal before Schroeder completed her hat trick.
Although happy with the number of goals scored, Francis would like to see improvement. His team attempted 49 shots during the game but only 21 were on goal.
"Against teams in our conference we're not going to get anywhere near that number of shots, so as a percentage for number of goals we score for number of shots we had, we need to do much better," he said. The defense also shined for the
The defense also shined for the Jayhawks, allowing only one shot attempt the entire game.
Overall, the players were pleased with their performance and saw it as a confidence builder heading into the regular season.
"It's given us a lot of confidence," Schreder said. "We come out here with so much more excitement. We know we actually want to play, and when we do score, it boosts us even more. It shows that we can do it."

Beefier schedule could bolster Buffalo hopes
By Michael T. Rigg
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Wanting to rejuvenate a once-dominant football program, first-year Colorado coach Garv Barnett went right to the schedule.
Gone from Colorado's future schedules will be the San Jose and Fresno States of the college football world — schools that the Buffaloes have easily defeated. The Buffaloes instead are slated to play national powers such as Florida State and Penn State in the next five years.
Colorado's philosophy is in complete contrast to schools like Missouri and Kansas State, who routinely schedule struggling Division I-A teams like Temple and
memphis, or Division IAA teams for their non-conference foes. Such opponents become problems in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) formula that helps decide the national champion, because strength of schedule is used to determine the nation's top teams.
For Barnett, the reasoning behind the toucher scheduling is simple.
"I really believe that if you're going to sit down and coach a program and have a program that wants to be in the national title chase, you have to have a schedule that attracts attention, voters and the media." Barnett said. "We're trying to take an aggressive role, fill our non-conference openings with teams that are big games, but if you win, you get a lot of points in the BCS championship chase."
This philosophy is a contrast to that of Missouri coach Larry Smith's. Smith schedules his three non-conference openings with one game his team will win easily, one game against a team with lesser ability than that of the Tigers', and one game for national exposure. For example, last season Missouri played a home game against a weaker Bowling Green team, then two weeks later traveled to Columbus, Ohio, to play national championship-contender Ohio State.
Missouri will play an easier schedule this season to help out the Tigers' inexperience, then will bolster its schedule next season with games against Michigan State and Clemson.

Four new linebackers preparing for season opener
By Mike Miller
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The four starting linebackers for the Kansas football team are bigger, faster and more athletic than last year's group.
"We've got better personnel in place to get that accomplished," said coach Terry Allen of junior middle linebacker Dariss Lomax, junior outside linebacker Chaz Murphy, sophomore middle linebacker Andrew LeClair and senior outside linebacker Tim Bowers. "The depth and ability that we have is better than last year." Allen said.
Averaging 6-foot-3, 240 pounds, they are supposed to be better at stopping the run something the Jayhawks were horrible at last year.
But with the first game of the season four days away, it's unclear how this new group of linebackers will do this season. Inexperience can be devastating to a defense made up of four new starters.
Lomax sat out last season
because of academic difficulties and Murphy transferred from Garden City Community College. LeClair and Bowers have two career starts each. Their total of 63 career tackles is fewer than teammate Chad Coellner had last season.
LeClair, whose father played for the Cincinnati Bengals, points out that simply learning defensive schemes can be difficult, let alone executing them during games.
"We have to look at the formation the offense is in, the personnel they have on the field, how the defensive line is lined up, if anybody's in motion. There's a lot of stuff to recognize and sometimes it takes a couple of years to learn all that stuff." he said.
"We're getting used to playing together. Getting used to where each person plays is the biggest thing," he said. "And we're a lot closer. Maybe it's because we're so used to running the same defense with the same people."
But Bowers is confident they can overcome the inexperience.
Lomax echoed Bowers' statements by emphasizing teamwork.
"Our camaraderie is better. We worked harder in the summer than we have before," he said.
Couple their physical aspects with teamwork and they might be more effective than last season's players.
They'll be tested right away when they face Notre Dame on Saturday at South Bend, Ind. The Fighting Irish had the 16th-ranked rushing offense in the NCAA last year, and quarterback Jarious Jackson is a threat throwing and running the ball.
"He's kinda like some of the quarterbacks we see in the Big 12." Bowers said.
"We've got game plans similar to quarterbacks we've seen in the past, like Tony Lindsay, Corby Jones and Michael Bishon."
—Edited by Ronnie Waschter
The challenge presented by Jackson just begins what the Jayhawks will see for the rest of the season. Teams like to run the ball, and quick, elusive quarterbacks dominate the Big 12 Conference.

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is an 8.
This is a good day for group activities, except for one little thing — the group's going to want to play. The group, as a unit, could get called on the carpet for insufficient attention to duty. This could be serious but, unfortunately, nobody's taking it that way. You're all having too much fun. Your joy could change the way things are done around there.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
You're drawn up tight, from a gallop to a complete halt. That was a pretty sudden change. You'll be up to speed again in a couple of days. Now, you need to do exactly what the experts tell you. You're getting stronger every day, possibly because of a change in habits. These things take time, though.
Gemini: Today is an 8.
There's a conflict today between staying close to home or traveling. Maybe technology can help. You can either go on the trip and call home a lot, or stay home and your business over the phone. The latter option could turn into the way you do your job.
Cancer: Today is a 5.
This is not a good day for romance. It's not your fault, or anybody's actually. Nerves are just a little jittery; that's all. Tempers are short. If your mate has an ongoing complaint, don't bring up the subject. Tread carefully and play gentle music on the radio, even if you do miss the news.
Leo: Todav is a 5.
A partnership or legal matter could pay off today. It might just be your mate repaying that $5 loan out of the grocery money. It looks like more than that, however. Tensions are running high all around, so think about what you're saying. Don't relax until tonight, after the day's work is done.
Virao: Today is a 7.
You're the kind of person who wants everything to be perfect. You'll go to a lot of trouble to make it that way too. Today you might get a chance to do just that. It's not your fault that everything seems to require adjustment. Jobs need to be redone because factors change.
Libra: Today is an 8.
you may be a little more relaxed today, but things are still not going smoothly. There's not enough money, most likely. You and your sweetheart have all sorts of dreams, but how will you make them happen? It might look kind of hopeless, actually. But then, you learn something new. Start studying.
Scorpio: Today is a 5.
Sagittarius: Today is an 8.
You and your partner may have some tough decisions to make. Should you make major changes to the place you have or pull up roots and go somewhere else? There are good things and bad things about each option, but the bottom line's the one you should give top priority.
Lately, you may have become fond of surprises. You love to pull them on other people, especially people who are habitually nasty. You might be able to do that again today. Keep digging, and you may find something that will change the game considerably. The game, by the way, is called "checks and balances."
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
LION
Somebody's been giving one of your friends a rough time. It's about to happen again, too. Counsel your friend not to take it so hard, to develop a tough skin, like yours. You're not usually one to get mushy, but today you could lay it on pretty thick.
The warring factions will most likely be at each other's throats again today. Each wants to be right, no matter what the cost. From your perspective, they both might look silly. How do you get them to see the light? It might take a miracle. Well, Pisces is the sign of miracles. See what you can do.
Pisces: Today is a 6.
Somebody's bound to toss you a challenge. Can you make cars that run without gasoline or electricity? Maybe, you say. You'll think about it. A couple of the requests you get today will be tough. Choose which ones you'll accept carefully.

Marino spent about an hour waiting in a side room of Miami's federal courthouse while prosecutors finished cross-examination of the final witness in Brownlee's defense.
The veteran quarterback said he met Martin when the receiver first joined the Dolphins in 1989 and that Martin had accepted invitations to his house and had met his family.
Ron DeWaard, a U.S. Attorney, drew a few chuckles when he ended his cross-examination by telling Marino, "Good luck this year."
Marino said nothing as he left the courthouse accompanied by O.J. McDuffie, another Dolphins receiver.

Arkansas player faces variety of charges
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — An arrangement scheduled yesterday for Arkansas defensive end Carlos Hall on a forgery charge was pushed back to Sept. 1 — three days before the Razorbacks open their 1999 season at Southern Methodist.
But even if the forgery charge is resolved then, Hall still will be suspended from the Razorbacks for violating team rules. He faces a Sept. 20 arraignment for leaving the scene of a traffic accident on Interstate 40.
Yesterday's arraignment before Washington County Circuit Judge William Storey was delayed because of a scheduling conflict involving lawyers.
Hall is charged in Fayetteville with stealing three checks totaling $220 from a university mail room, then endorsing and cashing them. The checks had been made to the University.
He also is accused of leaving the scene of an accident in which a person was injured and with driving under the influence of alcohol.

Top pole vaulter says Russia is in bad state
SEVILLE, Spain—Maxim Tarasov, the second-best pole vaulter in history and a favorite at the World Championships, is lamenting the current state of Russian sports. He said it was understandable that some promising athletes were leaving his country.
"Things in sports are getting worse and worse in Russia. That is my feeling," Tarasov said Monday, on the eve of pole vault qualifying.
Tarasov has been living in Budapest for most of the past seven years, and does not rule out seeking Hungarian citizenship.
"In fact, I could well become, let's say, Hungarian," he said, but stressed he has no such plans at the moment.
Tarasov, 28, said he would hang on to his nationality unless there was something really terrible in Russia.
Sports infrastructure has gone dramatically downhill from the Soviet days.
"In my home city there are simply no facilities for pole vaulting, so when I became a national-level vaulter I had to spend half a year away, where there is a pit and a runway," he said. "And now it has become even worse."
Only one athlete — Ukraine's Sergei Bubka — who holds the world mark of 20.14 feet, has vaulted higher than Tarasov.
INTERNATIONAL SOCCER Clubs hope to reduce international matches
ZURICH, Switzerland — The top European soccer clubs want to limit the amount of time they lose players to national teams.
Representatives of six top European soccer clubs met with FIFA president Sepp Blatter Monday, with one of the main issues being their desire for a severe reduction in the number of friendly international matches.
Blatter told the so-called G-14 group of wealthy clubs that FIFA's ruling executive committee would shortly study a proposal to reduce from five to four days the period they would have to give players for official international games.
AC Milan representative Adriano Galliani said the clubs were, in principle, not opposed to the general idea of the World Cup being played every two years, provided the overall calendar could be properly synchronized.
In February, Blatter backed down on his controversial plan for a twice-yearly World Cup and said the international soccer calendar had to be reorganized first if the idea was to become reality.
He said world soccer should have a radically revised calendar by the year 2005 with fewer domestic matches and better coordination of international play.

Kansas sprinter to compete for two gold medals
The Associated Press
SEVILLE, Spain — He's enjoying the best season of any male 100-meter spinner in history — breaking the world record, running under 10 seconds nine times and winning his second world title.
Yet Maurice Greene still has something to prove.
A day after capturing the gold medal at the World Championships in 9.80 seconds, just short of his own world record, Greene said he won't be considered a truly great sprinter until he completes a 100-200 double.
"To be the complete spinter, that's practically every spinter's goal," Greene said yesterday.
Greene, a native of Kansas City, Kan., will get his chance this week when he bids to become the first man to win both sprints at the World Championships, and the first at any major championship since Carl Lewis at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.
The 200 heats are scheduled for today, the semifinals tomorrow and the final Friday.
If not for his manager, Emanuel Hudson, Greene might not have been
going for the double at all.
"If he's open, if he tells you truthfully, he didn't want to run the 200 this year," Hudson said. "I've been telling him that to be considered a real runner you've got to win both races.
Hudson pointed to the example of Michael Johnson, who accomplished a historic 200-400 double at the 1995 worlds and 1996 Olympics. He said he also motivated Greene by citing all the attention being paid to Marion Jones' historic bid for four gold medals in Seville and five at next year's Sydney Olympics.
Greene's chances of victory in the 200 in Seville have been bolstered by the absence of his friend and training partner, Ato Boldon, the reigning 200 champ who is out with an injury.
The big question is whether former world champion Frankie Fredericks of Namibia, who scratched from the 100-meter final with a thigh injury, will line up for the 200.
If that race is anything like Sunday night's 100 final, watch out. Despite a slight stumble out the blocks, Greene blazed to the second-fastest time ever, just 01 off the world mark of 9.79 he set in Athens, Greece, on June 16.

Baseball coach optimistic about season
By Joel Francis
sports@kanson.com
Kanson sportswriter
Expect some new faces when the Kansas baseball team takes the field.
Eighteen players will join the roster and try to erase last season's disappointing 14-40 (4-26 in the Big 12 Conference) record.
Though practice won't start until Sept. 8, coach Bobby Randall said he feels good about the team.
The team finished last year with the most losses in school history, but the core of last year's squad, combined with the new players should give the team more depth and competition, Randall said.
"I feel better at this point in the fall than in other years," said Randall, who is entering his fifth season as head coach. "Already this has been a better fall from a talent and numbers standpoint."
"What I hope the recruiting class does is fill in the holes for competition," Randall said. "In the last couple years we've lost key players to
injury before the season started and we never compensated. Hopefully now we have the depth so the injuries won't be so devastating."
One of the new faces is right-handed pitcher Jim Caine. Caine, a freshman, was the Illinois Player of the Year last spring as he helped his high school team win the state championship.
KU
"I just want some experi-
Randall: Hopes team will qualify for regional tournament
some experience and to improve on my skills," Caine said. "I am not going to sell myself short or let the team down."
Outside expectations for Caine may be high, but Randall said he is not pressuring him.
"Right now he doesn't need to be our savior," Randall said. "He just needs to learn."
Caine was selected by the Minnesota Twins in the 10th round of the June baseball draft. The choice between going pro and going to school was a difficult one for Caine, but he thinks he made the right choice.
"KU offers me more of a team atmosphere," Caine said. "It's something I believe in, that's hard to let go of. In the minors, you're looking to beat the guy ahead of you, and the guy below you is working to beat you. I want to work as a team member."
Junior Pete Smart is the only returning left-handed pitcher for Kansas this season. Smart pitched in St. Cloud, Minn., in the North Woods League during the summer.
"I had a good summer," Smart said. "I became a better pitcher. I worked on my off-speed pitches and in the course started to throw harder."
Despite the loss of five seniors, Randall remains confident in his team's defense.
" our starting rotation remains intact," he said. "O'Neal and Olson,
Baseball
our top relievers are back, plus we have some fresh junior college and freshman arms. With the new players in the mix, we should have more experience in the infield and outfield, with some competition at several positions."
Putting last season behind them team members also have high expectations for this season.
I want to make it to the regional tournament," Smart said. "That means we will have to place in the top four or five in the conference, and win 25 to 30 games."

Student wants bring ice hockey to Kansas
By Scott Kirsch
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Three of these four are part of Kansas tradition, but Ty Abrahamson wants to make hockey one too.
Wheat. Basketball. Bob Dole. Hockey?
Abrahamson, an Olathe senior, said that Kansas has had a hockey club before, but financial problems led to its demise three to four years ago. Abrahamson hopes to resurrect it.
"I really want to spread hockey awareness," Abrahamson said. "I would like to see us play other schools and have a booster club."
The idea began last year, when a friend of him from Michigan suggested it. Abrahamson then got the puck sliding last March, and hopes hockey will become an officially recognized sports club by next month.
Rick Rosenstengle, the associate director for
Recreation Services, said that the University could grant Abrahamson's wish.
"We really haven't gotten very far as of now, but it should happen soon." Stenestengle said.
Although Abrahamson is originally from South Dakota, he learned to play hockey here in the Lawrence and Kansas City area. Much of his learning has taken place in the last four to five years at Ice Sports Kansas City.
"I've always loved hockey." Abrahamson said. "It's really the best sport. It's fast, fun, and a good workout."
Ice Sports, where tryouts will be held in a couple of weeks, is about a 25-30 minute drive from Lawrence and is located on Kansas Highway 7 and Johnson Drive. Tryouts will begin either Wednesday or Thursday of the second week of school.
whether Abrahamson's team is recognized by the University as a sport club, his team will
begin play this fall in a men's league at Ice Sports, although both men and women are welcome to try out. The team will compete in the league's Division A.
Abrahamson also has a coach lined up, although it is not a done deal, and also would like to see the team play at the Topeka Expocentre.
Students interested in playing for Abrahamson's team can call him at 830-0083, or e-mail him at mryoda@eagle.cc.ukans.edu.

Barnett breaks Big 12 soft non-conference trend
Continued from page 1B
"For this football team, this is a perfect schedule to play," Missouri sports information director, Bob Brendel, said. "We needed to soften our schedule since the last couple of years have been brutal. This is not a year where we're going to contend for a national championship."
Contending for a national championship was exactly what the Kansas State Wildcats were doing last season. The Wildcats started the season 11-0, but were behind the other undefeated teams in the nation, Tennessee and UCLA, in the BCS standings, primarily because of their strength of schedule.
Although K-State's weak non-conference slate hurt its strength of schedule ranking, Wildcats coach Bill Snyder thinks that belonging to the Big 12 Conference is a big enough obstacle for his team to overcome.
"The competitive level of this conference is very high from top to bottom," Snyder said. "Any football team in the conference can beat any other team in the conference on any given day."
This season K-State will play Temple, Texas-El Paso, and Utah State in its nonconference schedule. While Snyder believes a team's schedule should not dictate whether or not it plays for a national title, he believes the current BCS system is the best way to determine a champion.
"I can't complain about the system because I can't put an idea on the board that's better than the one we have," Snyder said.
Beating up on weaker non-conference teams is also a way for teams that most likely will not contend for a national championship, like Iowa State and Kansas, to gain much-needed confidence and victories. Iowa State plays Nevada-Las Vegas, a team that finished 0-11 last season, while Kansas plays Cal-State Northridge, a division LAA foe, in 1999.
"Knowing we can win games is really important when you haven't turned the corner yet," Iowa State coach, Dan McCarney, said. "The non-conference part of the season is going to be very important to us."

Ideal team close to home for KU basketball player
By Melinda Weaver sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Kristen May did not have to travel a great distance to find her ideal college.
May graduated from Lincoln College Preparatory Academy, in Kansas City, Mo., this spring. May, a freshman guard for the Jayhawks women's basketball team, was impressed with Kansas as soon as the team started recruiting her and she pleased her family by staying close to home, she said.
"The people here are great, the program is great, the location is great and the academics are great." May said. "It's just great."
May's interest in basketball was inspired by her father, who began taking her to the court with him when she was young and bought her a toy basket when she was four. At age seven, she entered her first basketball league.
During her senior year, she led Lincoln Prep to a 22-8 record and a fifth-place conference finish, the best in school history. During that season, she averaged 21 points, nine rebounds and seven steals per game.
At the time, she did not expect to play college basketball, but by high school, she had developed into a top player.
"I'm very excited to have Kristen on our team," Kansas coach Marlan Washington said. "I think she will develop into a very fine player for us."
May spent the summer developing her skills with a workout sent to her by assistance strength coach Joy Hayes. She also played ball against her older male cousins to keep her game solid and studied past Kansas teams to learn Washington's style of play.
KU
"I did my homework this summer, and I noticed that in the past, Kansas has not been consistent
with their fast breaks." May said.
"They run a good offense, but to win games, you want to push the ball up the floor and get looks under the basket. I hope to bring an up-tempo game and make good passes on fast breaks."
May described her style of play as "funky," explaining that she was not afraid to hustle and hit the ground.
make the defense wonder what you are going to do by making every aspect of your game a threat."
She said she hoped to improve her three-point shot during her stay at Kansas.
"I love to pass, and I am great off the dribble, but to be a good point guard, you have to have a good shot," May said. "You have to
There is more competition at the collegiate level because every player is even," May said. "In high school, you can get away with not playing as well, but in college, you have to work harder to stand out and prove yourself. You have to go to the gym instead of going to that party that all your friends are going to."
May said that another appeal of college basketball is the chance to prove herself on another level.
In her first season, May will be playing reserve to Lynn Pride. Suzi Raymant and Jennifer Jackson, so she cannot expect too much playing time.
She said she expects her role to be a motivator, even if she does not see as much playing time as she would like.
May has not had the opportunity to practice with her teammates yet but said that she liked everyone she had met.
"Coach Washington is a beautiful person." May said. "A lot of players are intimidated by their head coach, but she is so loving, like a mom. All of my teammates are great, too. They have been very friendly and helpful. It helps me to fit in and get acclimated."

Friends recall Perrot's spirit
The Associated Press
HOUSTON — There were tears but little mourning as fans, family and Kim Perrot's Houston Comets teammates both laughed and wept while they relived special moments from the feisty point guard's all-too-short life on Monday.
"I wouldn't be here today if she hadn't fought me," joked a misty-eyed Comete coach Van Chancellor, who recalled for the 1,000 attending the service how he "mis-coached" Perrot their first year together.
He met the 32-year-old Lafayette, La., native two years ago at a Houston high school gym, where he was holding tryouts for the new WNBA franchise. He didn't like what he saw.
STATE COLLEGE COMETS
"Too wild, too small and too everything." Chancelor said, laughing at how
he underestimated the s-foot's Perrot. He reasserted his mistakes after fans suggested he look at Perrot's ability.
Diagnosed with cancer last February. Perrot died in Houston on Thursday. A private burial in her hometown was scheduled for Tuesday.
"Kim was special. Kim used her gifts to the fullest" said Leslie Alexander, owner of the Houston Comets and the Houston Rockets. "She never gave up on her dreams."
Chancellor said he and Perrot often joked that their great skill was responsible for the success enjoyed by two-time MVP Cynthia Cooper.
Cooper said it was her best friend's generous spirit and love of people that left her mark on the world.

Brown Bear closes after two years
Commission rejects compliance outline
(USPS 650-640)
.Bv Derek Prater
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A decision made at last night's Lawrence City Commission meeting may have spelled the end for the Brown Bear Brewing Co.
Despite a business plan presented to the commission by brewery owners to bring the Brown Bear, 729 Massachusetts St., into compliance with zoning regulations, a motion to reintaste the brewery's liquor license was not seconded.
Shawn Schlegel, co-owner of the Brown Bear since its opening two years ago, said that this was apparently the end of the Brown Bear.
"This is the city I live in, that I made my home, and it's taking my livelihood away from me," he said.
The Brown Bear's previous license
expired Friday, and city officials declined to renew the license because the brewery was not meeting a requirement for drinking establishments in the downtown area.
The C-3 zoning ordinance was passed by the commission in 1994 to stop the proliferation of "pure bars" downtown. The ordinance requires that new drinking establishments in the downtown area make at least 55 percent of their gross receipts from food sales. Previously established businesses were exempt from this requirement.
Last week, as the owners of the Brown Bear were applying for their new license, an internal audit showed that the brewery earned only 50 percent of its revenue from food sales.
Without a liquor license, the Brown Bear has been closed since Saturday, and the owners were left with the option of making an appeal to the commission for another chance.

Commission to monitor drinking establishments
by Derek Prater
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
By Derek Prater
The Lawrence City Commission's ongoing imbroglio with neighborhood bars took a turn toward a more comprehensive approach last night at the city commission meeting.
In reference to a proposed ordinance regarding Los Amigos, 508 Locust St., David Corliss, director of the city's legal services department, recommended that city officials monitor all drinking establishments and issue a quarterly report to the commission.
Cortliss told the commission he thought that the special conditions applied by the ordinance to Los Amigo's license would not hold up legally without sufficient data to support those conditions.
The ordinance was rejected by the commission and replaced by an agreement between the city and the bar.
Corliss said that monitoring drinking
establishments would allow the city to be more proactive in situations such as the one with Los Amigos.
In April, the commission adopted an ordinance that placed additional requirements on Los Amigo's liquor license because of complaints from neighbors. Neighborhood bars The Wheel Cafe, 507 W. 14th St., and The Hawk, 1340 Ohio St., also faced additional requirements on their liquor licenses created by the commission last winter.
The owners of Los Amigos challenged the ordinance requirements and began negotiations with the city to address any problems.
Los Amigos agreed to post signs in the bar encouraging patrons to respect nearby residents, hire a private security service for Friday and Saturday nights, and designate one person to coordinate traffic on those nights.
Ted Boyle, a representative of the North Lawrence Improvement Association, was disappointed with the commission's decisions.
"I think the commission got bullied by the lawyers of the bar and disregarded the feelings of the residents down in that area."

McLachlan's Lilith Fair to end after three years
By Emily Hughey writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Throngs of women sprinkled with an occasional man dance to the pop, rock, rap, folk and country sounds of female artists on stage.
Welcome to the third annual Lilith Fair.
Tomorrow will be the third and last year of musical artist Sarah McLachlan's brainchild - a solely female artist music festival. Some students are going for the first time, some for the third and others have vowed to never go back.
And one University of Kansas student will enter the Lilith Fair gate at Sandstone Amphitheatre in Bonner Springs with a dual identity. Vicky White, Overland Park freshman, will be both a performer and a fan. She will perform a 20-minute set at the Village Stage at the festival and then wander the crowds as a fan.
"I'm hoping that I'm going to have backstage passes," White said. "I'm playing on the Village Stage, which doesn't sound very prestigious, but I really want to meet some people."
White was selected through an online contest on Lilith Fair's Web site (www.lilithfair.com). She said she was so ecstatic when she found out she had been selected that she called all of her friends.
"They called my manager and my manager called me, but they didn't tell me why," White said. "They just said 'It has to do with the Lilith Fair.'"
Although White said she had always wanted to go to the festival, she hadn't been able to afford a ticket. This will be her first time at Lilith.
Randi Sereres, Lenexa junior, bought two tickets to the festival as a birthday present for a friend. She said she typically didn't attend female musicians' concerts,
but that she liked this year's line-up of artists.
"One reason is because of Sarah McLachlan," Sereres said. "She's one of my newfound favorite artists and I've always really liked the Indigo Girls and the Dixie Chicks and all the others. I just thought it would be really great to see all of them in one place."
"Women, and famous women, are out there showing that women can accomplish things in society and proving that they can be successful," she said.
But the festival is not just for women. Though they are usually outnumbered, men attend Lilith as well.
"The first time. I went inst for the artists." he said.
Doug Miller, Overland Park senior, is one such student. He has been to the festival twice and said he was looking forward to tomorrow's show.
"The first time, I went just for the artists," he said. But, he said, after talking with some of the women at the concert, he began to develop more respect for feminism and for the festival itself.
"It shows that women can excel in the rock world as well as in other avenues," Miller said. "I think it's been extremely positive for women and all women. It's encouraged them to create art and chase their dreams and other professions."
Although the male to female ratio was very unbalanced, he said he had never felt threatened.
"You could say I'm outnumbered, but I don't feel any discomfort," Miller said. "The women tend to be very receptive and I have a good time out there."
He said he would attend the concert with female friends because he didn't have any male friends interested in seeing the show — even though they liked the headlining bands.
Serenes said many men didn't attend because they thought people would think they weren't masculine.

Renters' insurance available for residence hall, apartment tenants

Kansan staff writer
Leilani Welbes purchased a renters' insurance policy two weeks ago when she moved into her first apartment.
Welbes, a Tripoli, Wis., graduate student, said she considered the $84 she paid for the year-long policy a small price for the security she now has in return.
she now had it and something happened, "I did not have it and something happened, 'I be screwed,' Welbs said. "I wouldn't know where to go or what to do."
women.
Thousands of students moved to Lawrence in recent weeks, bringing with them expensive computers, stereos, clothing, televisions and other personal belongings.
and other personal items A fire or a theft could destroy such belongings, and uninsured students could be left empty-handed.
Michele Kessler, student legal services associate director and attorney, said she had seen similar situations happen several times. Oh I'll never
Kessler said that about 10 uninsured students who suffered losses last year sought help from her department.
she said.
She said that was why students should consider purchasing renters' insurance.
Kessler said students should first find out if they are covered by their parents' homeowners' insurance.
"I think a lot of students think 'Oh, I never
lose anything. I don't have that much stuff'"
A renters insurance policy would cover personal property such as furniture, jewelry, carpet and appliances if they were stolen, damaged or destroyed. A landlord's insurance would not cover such losses.
She said students who are not should consider purchasing their own policy.
The Kansas Insurance Department reported most policies cover damage to property caused by a variety of hazards, including lightning, freezing and falling objects. The policies usually do not cover damage from floods, sewer backup or power failure.
Insurance agencies determined the premiums, or how much a student would pay for the year, by factoring in the geographic location of the residence, proximity of a fire sta
tion, water supply, type and age of the building, number of tenants in a building, coverage amount and deductible amount.
Area insurance agents said that they have not had an increase of students purchasing insurance since students moved to Lawrence for the fall semester.
This follows a trend reported by the Kansas Insurance Department. The department estimated that only one in four renters have renters' insurance.
Lance Wollesen, agent with Shelter Insurance, 1120 E. 23rd St., Suite C, started working at the agency last month. He said that he sold renters' insurance policies to two students last week.
Although he said that this was busier than a usual week, it was not as busy as he expected.
Jo Buzzard, agent at American Family Insurance, 1414 W. Sixth St., said that there were not many students who purchased renters' insurance.
She said this was because most students were not aware that they needed it or did not think it was necessary.
Buzzard estimated the average student cost for renters' insurance at $15 to $20 a month.
Fred McElhennie, assistant director of the Department of Student Housing, said the department encouraged residents of the residence halls, scholarship halls and of the Jayhawk Towers to be insured.
He said this was the fifth or sixth year the department had done so.
McEllenbite said the department had distributed informational brochures about renters' insurance to residents' rooms in residence and scholarship halls and the towers last week.
"It's just a matter of if something happens, and there's no negligence on the part of the department and they don't have homeowner's, they're out the cost of the article," he said. "It would be foolish not to have valuable items covered."
"We're not working for the insurance agencies," McElhennie said, "But we think it's information the students should have in hand."

BUYING RENTERS INSURANCE
1. Find out whether or not you are covered by your parents' homeowners' policy. Lance Wollesen, Shelter Insurance agent, said most students younger than 25 would be covered. However, the students' personal property is only covered by 10 percent of the total amount of their parents' policy. Wollesen said that students whose parents did not have homeowners' insurance; students whose personal property was worth more than 10 percent of their parents' total policy; or students who were older than 25 were least likely to be covered.
2. Determine the type of coverage, amount of coverage and deductible you are looking for.

3. Contact different insurance agencies to compare the premium. Inquire about what items the agency will not insure.

KU on Wheels moves stop on 22nd Street
A KU on Wheels bus stop on the 22nd Street and Kasold Drive route will move a block east starting tomorrow.
The stop, which is located at the corner of 22nd Street and 22nd Court, will move to the corner of 22nd Street and Heatherwood Drive.
Holly Krebs, KU on Wheels transportation coordinator, said complaints from residents of nearby houses caused the change.
Krebs said she hoped the move would not inconvenience students on that route.
"Some people waiting were standing on residents' lawns, and there were problems with people littering," she said. "In order to keep residents happy, we're trying to accommodate their needs."
The stop serves three apartment complexes in the area — Quail Creek Apartments, Shannon Plaza and Heatherwood Valley Apartments.
"Our big emphasis is on people getting picked up," she said. "We want students to avoid waiting at the wrong corner."
Krebs said the transportation board would consider any route modifications in October for next semester.

Stephenson Hall floods will get new equipment
Stephenson Scholarship Hall will receive a new water heater at semester break to replace its hot water storage tank, which flooded the hall Sunday night.
David Bettenhausen, hall president and Columbia, Mo., junior, said rust corrosion ate through the bottom of the metal tank, which formed a hole the diameter of a pencil.
Water from the tank, which stored between 150 and 200 gallons, flooded the pantry, kitchen, dining room and computer room.
Phil Garito, department of student housing associate director, said employees welded a patch onto the bottom of the tank Monday afternoon.
"There's a possibility that there will be another spot that will rust through," he said. "Usually when one shows up, others happen."
Garito said workers would weld a similar patch onto the tank if another small hole developed, but the tank, which could be up to 48 years old, may have to be replaced sooner if the hole is unrepairable.
Garito said Stephenson residents would be without hot water for a couple of days if the storage tank needed to be replaced before winter break. The total figures needed to fix the heater are not yet available.

Sorority's fund-raiser will conclude today
Today is the last day of a Sigma Lambda Gamma fund-raiser that began Thursday. The historically Latina sorority is sponsoring the Student Advantage table from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. today in front of the Kansas Union.
Students who sign up will receive a discount card and a phone card with 30 free minutes by mail. Students only pay if they choose to use their discount card as a phone card. The discount card can be used at many locations in Lawrence and nationwide.
Belinda Hinojos, Kansas City, Kan., junior in psychology, said it was too soon to tell how much the fund-raiser would earn. She said the sorority would use the money to pay for a variety of things throughout the year, including sending two members to the sorority's national convention in Illinois next summer.

School board reverses Star of David decision
GULFPORT, Miss. — A Jewish student told to hide his Star of David necklace at school may wear it freely, the school board said in reversing its ruling that the pendant could be viewed as a gang symbol.
"When we made the decision last week, it was based on information from the security officers only." Harrison County School Board president Randy Williams said after Monday's vote. "But we realized that it infringed on freedom of religious expression, and that freedom supersedes the safety issue."
The School Board unanimously voted to exempt religious symbols from its policy prohibiting students from wearing anything that could be viewed as a gang symbol.
Ryan Green, a junior at Harrison Central High School, wore his Star of David pendant at registration and on the first day of school earlier this month. He was told to tuck it beneath his shirt because it could be interpreted as a gang symbol.
Ryan's parents asked school officials to reconsider the policy, and the American Civil Liberties Union on Friday asked a court to strike it down.
WASHINGTON—The Pentagon said yesterday it had dropped plans to suspend or discipline a veteran Defense Department background checker for allegedly asking intrusive questions about former Sen. Gary Hart's personal life.
Officials close case on Hart's background
"After further review of the circumstances, it was decided that no adverse actions will be taken" against the investigator, David Kerno, said Pentagon representative Glenn Flood.
That closes the case. Flood said. "No further actions will be taken."
Hart had complained about questions asked during a background check required to grant him the top-secret security clearance needed to serve on a defense oversight board.
Kerno, 53, a 19-year Denver-based investigator with the department, had questioned three of Hart's law firm colleagues and apparently asked several questions about Hart's sexual conduct.
Hart complained to the Pentagon earlier this year that the questions went beyond the bounds of what was necessary for a security check and suggested that such inquiries would discourage people from serving in voluntary positions on defense.
The Pentagon removed Kerno from investigatory field work and assigned him to a desk.
Critics suggested that Kerno was punished because of Hart's close relationship with William Cohen, secretary of defense. Both are former senators and wrote a novel together.
PARIS—The photographers who chased Princess Diana should be prosecuted since the car crash that killed her would not have happened if not for them, the lawyer of her boyfriend Dodi Favred's family said yesterday.
Al Fayed continues suit in fatal car wreck
The lawyer, Georges Kiejman, criticized the state prosecutor's recommendation last week that charges against nine photographers and a press motorcyclist be dropped. The 10 are charged with manslaughter and failure to assist persons in danger.
"These recommendations are surprising," said Kiehlman, who is representing Mohamed Fayed, Dodi Fayed's father. "They distort the facts."
Investigating judge Herve Stephan, who is expected to conclude his own probe soon, is not obliged to follow the state prosecutor's recommendation.
Princess Diana, Fayed and their driver, Henri Paul, were killed in a Paris traffic tunnel Aug. 31, 1997. Only bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones survived. Paul was drunk at the time of the crash, and alcohol and excessive speed are considered the main causes of the accident.
Initial blame was put on the photographers chasing Princess Diana. Kiejman said the driver would never have sped to get away from them if the occupants of the car had not been harassed.
He said he would appeal should the judge decide not to send the photographers to trial.

Liquor license goes unrenewed after failure to meet ordinance
Co-owner Ryan Rodenburg told the commission that he thought the Brown Bear could meet the requirement, but that it needed more time to establish the restaurant side of the business.

Commissioner Mike Rundle said he was not convinced that the plan would bring the brewery into compliance with the city ordinance.
Melineh Kurdian, a Wichita senior who performed live music at the Brown Bear, said she was shocked to hear of the closing.
"I find it really disappointing because it's a great place for live music," she said. "It's a shame to close because of a law like that."

Local musician to perform at festival

However, one male student who attended the first 11th three years ago has not returned since.
"I think men are probably afraid to go because they think they might be classified as feminine," she said. "But I do know tons of men who love Sarah McLachlan and the Dixie Chicks and the Indigo Girls. Plus, it's a great place to meet women."
In three years ago has not returned since:
"I went one time, and I dug the music," said Nate Jensen, Wichita sophomore. "I just didn't like seeing all the girls kissing all over each other. Not that I have anything against it, it was just too much for me to take at one time."
He said that even though he wouldn't go to the show again,he thought Lilith offered variety to the line-up of summer music festivals.

"I hope somebody picks it up," Jensen said.

Lisa Bitel, director of women's studies, said she thought Lilith created role models for women within the rock music industry and that the festival should continue.
"I think it's a shame that they're going to end a festival that celebrates women's music aimed at a feminist audience," she said.
Nevertheless, McLachlan is ending the show after just three years reportedly because she wants to have a baby. Also, she has said in various interviews, she wants Lilith to maintain the positive image it now holds rather than allowing it to flizzle out like other festivals such as Lollapalooza and the H.O.R.D.E. Festival.
Tickets to Lilith can be purchased at TicketMaster for $29.50 through $54.50.

Law school begins search for dean after false start
By Nathan Willis
writer@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
As the search for a new dean of the law school begins, newly appointed search committee members hope history doesn't repeat itself.
Following a failed search last spring, Provost David Shulenburger appointed a new nine-member search committee, which met for the first time Monday evening.
Mike Davis, professor of law, who was elected committee chair at the meeting, said the new committee would try to avoid repeating the results of the first.
"We'll do what we can to increase
the size of the applicant pool." Davis said.
However, he said that the committee had not yet come up with any firm plans about how to do that.
Shulenburger said that although there were two qualified applicants last year, one took a job elsewhere and the University could not reach an agreement with the other.
"A dean is an absolutely essential person in the school, and you don't really want the second-best choice in that slot," he said.
So he scrapped the search and decided to launch another this fall, even though the second search will be time-consuming and expensive, he said. In the meantime, Michael Hoeflich, current dean of law,
agreed to stay on another year while the second search progressed.
One obstacle that Shulenburger said might have had an impact on the previous search was the problem of low faculty salaries.
"Every dean candidate who's any good is going to want to know about what the faculty are paid." Shulenburger said. "They look at our faculty and wonder, 'Are we going to be able to keep those people?' A dean's job would be easier if we paid more."
Deans also hire faculty for their schools, and low salaries can hurt their recruiting efforts, he said.
As for the dean's position itself, Davis said the salary range was competitive.
"I think the University administration is willing to make a competitive offer," Davis said. "That will probably not be a barrier to our efforts."
It's impossible to say how much money the new dean will make because it is based partly on experience and qualifications, Bachman said.
Hoefflich's salary is $170,500. By comparison, the average law dean salary at the public universities of the Big 12 Conference was $173,000 last year, Shulenburger said. In the Big 10 Conference, it was $181,000.
Davis said that the failed search did not dampen committee members' hopes of finding a dean this time.
The committee plans to have a
small list of candidates to give to Shulenburger by the end of the semester, Davis said. However, the committee has not set any official deadlines yet.
For the next week or two, the committee plans to work on creating an ad for the position and deciding which publications to advertise in, as well as taking care of some initial paperwork, Davis said.
"The first focus is to put together as broad and diverse and high-quality an applicant pool as possible." he said.
From there, the committee plans to reduce the pool to six or seven applicants and invite those remaining for on-campus interviews, said Jill Bachman, Rulo, Neb., second.
year law student and committee member. Finally, the list will be narrowed to two or three candidates, from whom Shulenburger will choose the new dean, she said. But that is only if all goes as planned. The fruitless search last year proved there are no certainties.
"It think it bothers a lot of students." she said.
Meanwhile, Bachman said the extended process had hurt student morale within the law school.
"When someone resigns from a position but then decides to stay on, you wonder if their heart is really in it," she said, referring to Hoeflich.
Financial problems leave future of teaching award uncertain

Kanson staff writer
The 20 professors who won William T. Kemper Teaching Excellence Awards, which were passed out from Thursday morning to Monday evening, often mention being grateful because of what the award represents teaching excellence.
teaching excellence. But buried beneath the accolades for teaching, there are down sides to the awards.
One is financial.
During each of the past four years,
$100,000 has been handed out — $5,000
to each of the 20 professors each year,
said Carol Prentice, assistant to the provost. The money awarded during
the five-year lifespan of the Kemper
awards will total $500,000.
That, of course, means the award money will run out after next year.
Plans for what will happen after that are still uncertain.
Jim Martin, president of the Kansas University Endowment Association, which sponsors half of the money for the awards, said that his organization was hopeful about continuing the award in some form.
"Without question, we hope the program can be continued on in future

years, and we will be making specific plans to pursue funding in the coming year," Martin said.
Prentice said that she didn't know if Chancellor Robert Hemenway was forming plans to continue the awards. Hemenway was out of town yesterday and unavailable for comment.
Another financial issue is how well the top professors are paid. Although on average, KU professors earn only 88 percent of what professors do at the University's peer institutions, the 20 faculty members honored this year earned $69,41 on average before they received the award — about the same as the average salary at a peer institution. There were, however, big differences in how much individual professors among the 20 earned — ranging from $43,542 to $118,125.
Some professors said incentives for quality teaching should be more abundant and more long-term.
"I think that in terms of teaching, awards could be more general and a bit longer-lasting," said Norm Slade, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology and a Kemper recipient this year.
Slade said that although he would remain at the University, some professors honored as excellent teachers might be lured away by the promise of more money elsewhere.
Prentice said that of the 48 Kemper recipients honored at the Lawrence campus in the first three years of the program, only three had left the University.
One trend in the Kemper awards has been clusters of awards in certain departments. Communication studies leads the pack across the four-year span of awards, with six professors having received an award.
Prentice said that a committee selected the award winners from about 55 applicants. For the past three years, the committee has been composed of previous years' award winners. She said that although no attempt was made to screen committee members from voting for faculty members from their departments, she didn't believe politics had come into play.
"I've never sensed that there's been bias toward a particular discipline or
department," Prentice said.
She said committee members always ranked the candidates individually before meeting.
Regardless of how they were selected professors said that they were grateful for the money. How they plan to spend that money, however, varies
"I have a 12-year-old who's sort of mentally spending it faster than it's coming in," said Arlene Barry, associate professor of teaching and leadership.
But because Barry, not her 12-year-old, will control the money, a family trip is probably in order, she said. The likely destination is France.
Trips were popular spending options for the extra cash. But not all planned trips were purely for pleasure.
Jan Kozma, professor in Italian literature, said that she was going on sabbatical in the spring semester. While on sabbatical, she'll be on a research trip in Italy brushing up on her linguistics, and the money will come in handy to help defray the costs of living in ultra-expensive Rome, she said.
"It came at a good time," Kozma said.
"With the millennium coming, all the prices in Rome have risen about 30 percent."

Robinson changes benefit academics
Hammering, sawing, and drilling are familiar sounds on campus. The ongoing construction projects at Memorial Stadium, Joseph R. Pearson Hall, and Murphy Hall have been among the most visible. We all have made compromises for the improvement of the Universities of Kansas' buildings.
Some users of Robinson Center's racquetball courts have been grumbling about poor access to the facilities because of the construction of a new exercise lab. The construction has led to a strain on the already limited number of courts and hours available to play.
The exercise physiology lab was approved by the Board of Regents and the Legislature at a cost of nearly $1 million, which is coming from grants. The lab is a significant step for the growing
New exercise labs are worth the inconvenience at courts
Health, Sport and Exercise Science department and will boast a metabolic chamber, four exercise rooms, a nutritional kitchen, a biochemical lab, and several offices.
In fact, the metabolic chamber, which accurately measures caloric use of human subjects during a 24-hour period, will be only one of a few in the country, raising the standards and reputation of the School of Education and the HSES department. Such facilities will bring in much more money in research grants, compared to the money brought in by tuition for a racquetball class.
Recreation at the University is a complicated subject. Most services the University provides at Robinson's facilities are reserved first for academics, and second for recreation. The further encroachment by the HSES department into the area once used for racquetball at Robinson will undoubtedly complicate things further, especially for the students and faculty who used the courts.
We know that Robinson is a state building and will be used for academics before recreation. And while it seems once again that the small recreational luxuries that Robinson offers are being swallowed, the University is left with few options. Until a new recreation center is built, concessions have to be made in the interest of academic excellence.

I am so happy to be a part of this.
Perspective
I feel a lot better now. For three years I've apparently been attending an inferior university. Thankfully, now that the University has managed to coax a few more National Merit Scholars into its ranks with an overgrown carrot of financial and academic benefits. I can suddenly feel proud to be a student here. I can at least that's.
Perks to privileged few not necessarily merited
what I'm supposed to feel. Unfortunately, I instead find myself filled with frustration and disappointment. Rather than spend its time and money on actually improving the quality of this school, or helping those students who are struggling to pay for their education, the university has instead decided to recruit heavily from the ranks of the privileged so as to gain a minor statistical advantage above its peer institutions.
Most went to large schools that offered accelerated programs and a college preparatory curriculum, and most lived in communities whose residents exceeded the state's average level of educational attainment. Although the numbers may be a few years old, I have a feeling that not much has changed.
What this collection of really dull statistics tells us is that many who join the ranks of the National Merit Scholars come from backgrounds that give them every advantage for success; family and financial stability at home, college educated parents, and high schools with advanced programs. The University's quest to recruit these students only gives them further advantages, creating a wonderful paradox: those who have already demonstrated that they have the ability to succeed are given every advantage the school can offer, while those who have difficulty in school are left with the scraps.
What has been created is a situation where a select few become our first-class students who receive a hefty benefits package — free education for four years (no tuition, no fees, no room and board charges), priority placement in University scholarship halls, and enrollment in the Honors Program where they enjoy smaller classes taught by professors, not to mention the other monetary awards already given to them by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation and its sponsor corporations or both. The rest of us are relegated to the lower classes where we must pay for our education, apply for special housing or find ourselves in the less-than-spectacular dormitories, and take courses in overcrowded classrooms taught by GTAs.
Rather than spending its time and money trying to attract quality students, perhaps the University should be using those resources to find ways to create quality students. We are supposed to believe that everything that is spent on recruiting these Merit Scholars is good for all of us because it makes the University a better institution, but the fact of the matter is that the quality of a school cannot be judged by the students who come into it, but only by the students who come out of it.
I am not suggesting that that the University not give any sort of aid or benefits to National Merit Scholars, but rather start paying attention to the other tens of thousands of students who go to this school and help them out, instead of just focusing on a tiny, elite fraction of the student body.
incomes of more than $50,000 per year and 61.9 percent of their parents had at least a bachelor's degree, with the most common situation being one parent with a bachelor's and the other with a master's or higher.
Let's look at some facts. In a study done of Kansas's National Merit Semi-Finalists (NMSFs) in the graduating class of 1993, it can be seen that most of the NMSFs had every social advantage while growing up. Nearly 90 percent of these students had parents who were still married, 60.2 percent lived in households with

My grandfather lives a large portion of his life in the past. I have never left his house without at least getting one story about the past. Whether it is the war, work, or the women he chased — these are by far the worst stories, as nobody really wants to think about their grandpa in this manner — I come away with a little history lesson from our discussions.
I enjoy them every time, even though I have already heard each one before. Yet I am always disturbed that he never focuses on the future.
I found myself staring blankly into the institutional gray walls of a university meeting room and reminiscing about the past. Conversations with friends began drifting regularly toward remembering the old times instead of focusing on the future.
Like my grandfather, we would sit around and talk about what we did or how the current night reminds us of a previous one. My grandfather had the war. I had my freshman year and pledgeship. He had a business he helped build and gave his energy to, I had a coalition that I created and a campaign that I gave my GPA to. He chased women. The analogy falls off here, as I seem eternally confounded by the opposite sex, but you get the point.
Call this a personal testament to inherited traits if you wish, but I began to think it was more than that. So, after talking with many others I realized the Maxwell genes are not eternally tainted and am now sure the problem is much deeper than natural laws. I have become a senior and am in my last year at the University. In the process, I received all the emotional baggage that comes with that. I was
He never looks to what is coming next, or where his life is going; only to where it has been. He spends his time living in the past. That is why I got scared this summer when I realized I was becoming him.
Whether it is your first year here or your last, don't let yourself waste it on pipe dreams of the past. Take hold of what you have in front of you. Time here is short, the span to make a difference small, and when it is over, its over. I don't plan to waste my final year here. I can only hope nobody else does.
Maxwell is a Leawood senior in American studies and political science. He is student body president.
I realized that the time for my class, my friends and myself was not behind us, but clearly in front of us. Sure, the end is in sight for many of us, but that should give us all the more reason not to be sitting back and reminiscing. Instead, we all need to be out in front, showing the way; dispensing the wisdom we have learned in our time here, but more than that, giving an example of what is possible by our actions. It is our time, and this goes well beyond the seniors on campus. We cannot squander it.
We had already done, heard, or seen all the university had to offer. Or so I thought. I realized my summer lamentes were wrong when the school year started. At Traditions Night I sat in amazement, listening to what it means to be a Jayhawk. I felt what it means to be part of KU when 3,000 of us sang the Alma Mater together. I got goosebumps when the Rock Chalk chant began. I smiled as new student after new student came to an information table to get involved in Student Senate, all with ideas about how to make this University better. My first class left me confused and yearning for more after the professor challenged my views and told me the questions we would explore. I could hardly control myself when I got my first Wang burger for the year from The Wheel.
at the end of my journey. My ARTS form, which used to be sparsely peppered with the word "fulfilled" now was full of that term. My presidency had much the same feel. People began talking to me more about who was going to run for President next year, then asking what I was going to do this year. Things were coming to a close for my friends, my class and for me.

Regents saddled with obligations, power
Board says load will not affect Kansas students
By Clay McCuliston
writer @kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Kansas Board of Regents will face challenge piled upon challenge this year.
The nine, governor-appointed Regents govern the state's six public, four-year universities. They oversee academic programs, choose leadership for the universities and set budgets and tuition.
Until this summer, that was all they did.
But on July 1, five Regents were replaced, and the powers and responsibilities of the board were dramatically expanded. The Regents now supervise 31 other colleges — community colleges, technical schools and Washburn University — and coordinate all of the state's higher education.
"Every one of those institutions, KU certainly included, is concerned that their needs not get lost in the transition," said Kim Wilcox, executive director of the the board. "There's a lot of interest in making
sure that everyone continues to get the time and attention they deserve."
Wilcox, a former University of Kansas communications professor, supervises about 25 staff members in the board's Topeka office.
"That's the challenge we're working on, that those nine people can get the job done efficiently," Wilcox said. "I think they all would agree they're working hard to get up to speed."
Making the board's task even more daunting is a requirement that it now oversee coordination and long-range planning for all state colleges.
"There's a new and rather large responsibility with which there is no existing support," Wilcox said. "That's an additional load on the staff and the Regents."
The board asked for $60,000 to pay for its new responsibilities. The request was denied by the state legislature.
"The legislature chose not to fund that, but we still have to do that work," Wilcox said.
Bill Docking, chairman of the Regents, was one of the four holdover board members. He said he also was concerned with the resources available for the board's new obligations.
"Getting to work on the coordinating responsibilities will be a major challenge," said Docking, an

Arkansas City banker and KU graduate. "We don't have the funding for that."
Docking said he didn't expect the change to have a negative effect on the University, however. The Board will continue to govern the University and the other five Regents schools — Kansas State, Emporia State, Wichita State, Fort Hays State and Pittsburg State University — as it has in the past.
"I don't think KU or the other five will see change." Docking said.
To ensure the Regents would pay attention to the 37 schools that they now supervise, the nine members were subdivided into three committees. One committee oversees the public, four-year universities; another the community colleges and technical schools; and another the higher education coordination...
"The biggest challenge so far has been getting our arms totally around all our new responsibilities," Docking said. "We're trying to think broadly."
"I think we made great, productive strides in our retreat earlier this month," Docking said. "Watching this group of nine individuals come together as a functioning board; that's a great positive step for us."
times in July and twice in August. Aug. 11 and 12 they were on retreat in Valley Falls.
This summer, the Regents met three
Mary Burg, executive assistant to the chancellor and administrative liaison to the Board of Regents, said she and the University were positive about the reconstituted board.
"KU is committed to helping the new board be successful," Burg said.
"The members have a major challenge ahead of them in coordinating all of higher education, and we believe they are up to the challenge."
Burg said that the KU students would not notice a change in how higher education was coordinated by the Reents.
"They still have a strong commitment to KU, and the other public universities," she said. "Their coordination of all post-secondary education will strengthen higher education across the board."
The Board of Regents' next meeting will be Sept. 15 and 16 at Pittsburg State University.

New parking garage completion on schedule
Plans for enhancement of building started, too
By Michael Terry
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
The opening of the new $10 million University of Kansas parking garage is still 11 months away, but plans are already in progress on how to enhance the garage once it's built.
The garage's construction, which began this past June by The Law Company of Wichita, is scheduled for completion in July of 2000, and is presently on schedule, said Donna Hultine, assistant director for the parking department. Planners designed the garage with expansion in mind for the Future.
Planners designed the garage with expansion in mind for the future.
Hultine said the garage's foundation was able to hold additional weight in case the parking department decided there was a need for more spaces in the future, they could be added on top of the original structure.
Tom Waechter, planning coordinator for design and construction management, said that another proposed plan was to connect the Kansas Union to the garage as part of the Kansas Union expansion project.
"At first we considered an overhead link, but the expansion plan only allots $4 million and this method would have been too expensive." Waecher said. "Now a walkway from the second level of the Union is the plan we'll be working with."
A designing committee has been appointed by the Office of the Provost to decide on what exactly would be included in the Union expansion project including the walkway and should start meeting sometime in September, Waechter said.
Hultine said the that the new five-level parking garage was designed to add 818 new spaces, which will have handicapped spaces on every level.
“五 hundred of the spaces will be metered and offered on a first-come-first-serve basis” Hultine said. “All of these spots will be metered at a rate of $1 per hour.”
The metering of 500 spaces will help pay back the 20-year $10 million bond that was acquired by the Board of Regents for this project.
In addition to the money received from the meters, the bond also will be paid for by parking tickets and other fines issued by the KU Parking Department.
The parking board will meet in the coming weeks to decide how it wants to split up the remaining 318 spaces, she said.
Morris Faiman, parking board member for the last 10 years and professor of pharmacology and toxicology, said no specific split of the 318 spaces had been decided by last year's board.
"I think the space issue will be decided by this year's board," Faiman said. "However it comes out, everyone will benefit from the new garage."
One of the proposals for the remaining spaces was to split the spots evenly - with 154 for yellow permits and 154 for red permits.
"Once the garage is open the parking department will remove all the metered spaces from Lots 91-94 outside Memorial Stadium," Hultine said. "The spaces then would be divided up between yellow and red permits."

Students work to avoid ailments while abroad
By Amber Steuever
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Amid the visas, travelers' checks and airline tickets, students preparing to study abroad may forget one necessity — good health.
University of Kansas health and study abroad personnel warn that before leaving the country, students traveling abroad should take proper precautions to stay healthy.
"Your health is in your hands," said Susan MacNally, study abroad coordinator. "Know yourself, know your conditions. Knowing yourself and taking responsibility for yourself is the kev."
Stars and Stripes on display
The Office of Study Abroad and Watkins Memorial Health Center suggest a series of precautions for students planning to study abroad.
Jody Woods, Watkins nursing supervisor and nurse practitioner, advises students planning to study abroad. She said students could begin by getting their vaccinations.
Watkins uses a software program that inputs students' destinations and outputs recommendations of vaccinations and precautions from the Center for Disease Control.
Woods is not authorized to require students to receive all recommended immunizations and tests before studying abroad, but she suggests that all students studying abroad should be immunized for tetanus, diphtheria, hepatitis A and B and measles, mumps and rubella (MMR).

"While you're there I don't care really what you do, but I hope you take precautions, and I don't want you to bring anything back over," she said.
A girl with a bun is looking at a wall covered in square cutouts.
Individual countries may require other vaccinations or tests. Some governments require students to be tested for certain diseases and viruses, such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), before they enter the country.
Margareta B. O'Connell, director for the Office of Study Abroad, said the most basic precautions students could take were to let the the office know if they had medical conditions, get check-ups and take proper medications and supplies when going abroad.
STAYING HEALTHY ABROAD
"Students are never rejected from a program because of their health, but it's helpful for them to let us know if they have special needs so we can help them," she said.
O'Connell said that out of the 1,000 students who study abroad each year, few were seriously sick or injured.
In case of an emergency, all students are covered by Medical Evacuation and Repatriation Services (MEDEX), which is included in the study abroad fee. MEDEX will direct students abroad to a hospital or provide emergency transportation if necessary.
Learn about potential problems and how to decrease risks.
Get standard immunizations for tetanus measles polio etc.
- Get other immunizations for hepatitis A and B, Japanese encephalitis, meningitis, rabies, typhoid fever, yellow fever and other diseases.
See a doctor, optometrist and dentist and take care of problems before leaving.
Takes a sick kit
Be cautious of insect-borne diseases.
Don't drink the water unless it's boiled or bottled and has a seal.
- Carry adequate medical suppl
including syringes, if needed.
B avoid salads and other uncooked vegetables, and eat only fruits that can be peeled.
Take latex condoms.
- take lake conditions.
- Carry adequate medical supplies.
Call the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at (404) 332-4555 for further advice
O'Connell said there was always a coordinator on site to help if medical attention was needed abroad.
"The sources are different, but there is always someone to talk to," she said. "We're only an e-mail or a fax away here in the office."
Although there are always health risks when traveling abroad, many students said they were comfortable with the medial treatment options when studying abroad.
L. B. Ernst, Overland Park junior, said she received about seven immunization shots before studying in Northern Africa this summer. She still was sent to an African hospital for food poisoning. She said despite being in a Third World country, she was satisfied with the care she received.
"It wasn't as nice as what you'd get here, but it was a good hospital," Ernst said. "Everything was sanitary and clean. I felt really safe. It really wasn't a concern at all."
Ryan Monroe, Overland Park senior, said he got a couple stomach viruses and the stomach flu when he studied in China for a year.
"Food was a problem, mainly because most places I ate were local food stalls or local restaurants that follow no health codes." he said.
Missi Shoen, Norton junior, said she thought she was safe when studying in Spain last semester but knew that proper precautions had to be taken.
She said that when she was in certain countries, such as Spain, she didn't feel at risk, but in other countries she was very careful about what and where she ate.
"There are health risks depending on where you travel." Shoen said.

Crew recalls troubled times on Mir
The Associated Press
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — They endured a fire and crash, breakdowns and blackouts, sweltering heat and noxious fumes.
One came back noticeably thinner, another looking skeletal, because of rations on the space station Mir. And a third struggled with depression.
Once back on Earth, more than one vowed never to return and three promptly quit the astronaut corps.
Yet as Mir finally begins to wind down, its last long-duration crew due to leave Saturday and a fiery plunge planned for early next year, the seven Americans who lived on the Russian station to help NASA prepare for a new space station can't help but feel a little nostalgic.
Sure, they'll miss Mir, or at least miss knowing Mir's there.
“It’s sort of like if you’ve lived in a house and you’ve really enjoyed living in the house and maybe your kids have been born there,” says
David Wolf also will be sorry to see Mir go, even though he said it was time Russians focused their scarcity resources on the international space station, a work in progress 250 miles in the sky.
Lucid was the only American woman on Mir. Her craving for M&M's and potato chips and her delayed homecoming — she spent more than six extra weeks in orbit because of problems with her shuttle ride home — endeared her to everyone.
Lucid lived on Mir for six months in 1996 and, in doing so, set a space endurance record not only for Americans but also for women worldwide.
live. You may never go back, but you always know you could," said Wolf, who stayed on Mir from the end of September 1997 to January 1998.
"Mir has been a very historic part of space travel, and I think you'll feel a sense of loss when Mir comes down," Lucid said.
NASA astronaut Shannon Lucid. "But then there comes a point in time when you need them extra bedrooms, and you need to move."
"It's like maybe a place you used to
The first American on Mir, Norman Thagard, came across as a whinner after he arrived in March 1995. But the truth is, he sat on Mir almost two months with virtually nothing to do, waiting for his experiments to arrive on the Spektre module.
NASA had underestimated the psychological hardships of training for a year in Russia, conversing in Russian, then living with Russians on their space station.
Thagard returned from almost four months looking anemic and haggard. He'd lost muscle. By year's end, he'd resigned.
John Blaha, the only test pilot and nonscientist of the bunch, also suffered on Mir. He replaced Lucid and spent the first month of his four-month mission in a depression — he badly missed his wife of 30 years,
back home in Houston.
In the end, he said he enjoyed his time on the space station.
Next came Jerry Linenger, who battled two-foot flames from a burst oxygen generator in February 1997, then English-American Michael Faole, who four months later found himself trying to save the ruptured station following a near-catastrophic collision with a cargo ship.
Within months of returning to Earth, Blaha and Lineniger followed Thagard out the door.
Wolf relieved Foale in September 1997 after considerable debate about whether Mir was safe. Wolf spent most of his time doing maintenance and repairs on the insufferably hot space station. He returned 20 pounds lighter.
Australian-American Andrew Thomas closed out the shuttle-Mir collaboration in June 1998. In all, the American astronauts spent a total of 907 days on Mir.
Utah senators' comments anger NAACP
The Associated Press
SALTLAKECITY—Sen. Bob Bennett, R-Uttah, said he didn't mean to offend anyone when he predicted that George W. Bush would be the GOP presidential nominee unless an African-American woman came forward with an illegitimate child he had fathered.
"When I make a mistake, it's a beaut," Bennett said Monday after a private meeting with civil rights leaders. "There's no question this was a mistake. I had no intention of offending anyone."
Bennett said he was thinking of the movie Primary Colors and its portrayal of a fictional Southern governor's womanizing when he made the clumsy remark to the editorial board of The Standard-Examiner newspaper in Ogden, Utah, on Aug. 13.
"Unless George W. steps in front of a bus or some woman comes forward, let's say some
Black woman comes forward with an illegitimate child that he fathered within the last 18 months, or some other scenario that you could be equally creative in thinking of, George W. Bush will be the nominee." Bennett told the newspaper.
"It was simply a clinical description of the state of politics in America, but it was not received that way, and I should have been smart enough to realize it probably would not be received that way." Bennett said Monday.
Jeanetta Williams, president of the NAACP's Salt Lake City branch, said after meeting with Bennett that such an excuse wasn't good enough.
Leaders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People also are upset with comments made by Utah's other Republican senator, Orrin Hatch.
"People of color can't do anything about their color," Hatch said recently. "But I do believe gay
people have a choice to live within the legal rules or not. It's up to them, they do have a choice, where an African American has no choice with regard to the color of their skin."
Williams and Edward L. Lewis, president of the NAACP's Utah, Idaho and Nevada branch, criticized Hatch for contrasting gays and African Americans in terms of civil rights.
"We do not equate being gay or being lesbian with 300 years of slavery and being Black in America," Lewis said. "It is not the same thing. However, we do feel that everyone should have their civil rights."
Hatch was hosting a golf tournament and was not immediately available for comment Monday. His spokeswoman, Heather Barney, said Hatch had done an a lot for the minorities' communities and had taken his responsibilities seriously in representing everyone in Utah.

Public employees strike and march in South Africa
The Associated Press
PRETORIA, South Africa—Tens of thousands of striking public workers marched through South Africa's capital yesterday, demanding higher wages in the biggest union protest in the post-apartheid era.
The government's main wage negotiator, Public Service and Administration Minister Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi, responded to the mass labor action by agreeing to return to the bargaining table within days.
The strike comes just two months after the inauguration of President Thabo Mbeki.
The unions demand a pay hike of 7.3 to 8.3 percent. The government had said it could only increase wages by 4.7 to 6.3 percent, depending on job categories.
Some scuffing broke out when dozens of police officers, wearing police union T-shirts and shaking their fists, joined the demonstration and tangled with other policemen deployed for crowd control.
Underscoring the social changes sweeping South Africa, white state workers — who under apartheid were virtually guaranteed the best jobs at higher pay — joined the strike.
The strike threatens to tear apart a decades-old alliance between Mbeki's African National Congress, the predominantly Black Congress of South African Trade Unions and the Communist Party. The three together fought white rule, but because apartheid ended with 1994's first all-race elections, the ANC has differed with its leftist partners on the course South Africa should take.
Legacy of ethnic conflict in Balkans
Kosovars block way of Russian troops Serbs fear for lives
The Associated Press
Yugoslavia-
ORAHOVAC
ORAHOVAC, Yugoslavia— Rejecting NATO demands, ethnic Albanians refused to lift their blockade against Russian peacekeepers yesterday, warning that Moscow's forces will only destabilize the situation.
Using trucks, tractors and trailers to block twisting mountain roads into this divided town, ethnic Albanians blocked Russian peacekeepers from replacing Dutch soldiers who are scheduled to withdraw in a few weeks.
Several thousands of residents manned the barricades under a hot summer sun, waiving signs written in Albanian, German and English. Some read: "Russians killed us," "NATO No Russians" and "We are UCK," using the Albanian abbreviation for the Kosovo Liberation Army.
Russian, Dutch and German officers met with a four-member ethnic-Albanian delegation Tuesday to demand they move the mile-long traffic jam that clogged the main road into Orahovac. The Albanians refused and rejected a proposal for joint Dutch-Russian patrols.
"We will stay here until the Russians grow tired of insisting and give up," said 53-year-old Ismet Bugari.
In the Serb quarter, several hundred
Orahovac Serbs rallied in support of the Russians, shouting "Serbia, Serbia, we want Russians! We won't give up the Russians, KLA out!"
Local Albanians claim Russian mercenaries fought with the Serbs during an 18-month crackdown on Kosovo separatists, which ended when President Slobodan Milosevic accepted an international peace plan after 78 days of NATO bombing.
The Albanians and the peacekeepers agreed to meet again today. Dutch Lt. Col. Ton van Loon said peacekeepers had decided against using force to clear the blockades.
Yesterday afternoon, scores of young men and women walked along the blockades, selling food and drinks. Some protesters set beach umbrellas up against the blazing sun.
NATO and the United Nations are struggling to overcome deep ethnic hatred between Kosovo's Serb and Albanian communities, which speak different languages, practice different religions and have separate cultures.
Kosovo's dwindling Serb population trusts Russians — fellow Slavs — more than NATO to protect them from ethnic Albanians seeking revenge for atrocities committed under Milosevic's crackdown.
In Moscow, the Russian Foreign Ministry denounced the blockade as an open challenge to the international community and Moscow's participation in the Kosovo peacekeeping force. Russia's deputy defense minister, Alexander Avdeyev, said it was up to the NATO-led peacekeeper command to sort out the problem.

A spokesman for the Serb community, Jovan Duricis, said Serbs were insisting on Russian protection because they are prisoners in their own country and are under attack by ethnic Albanians.
NATO's bombing campaign stopped Serb atrocities against ethnic Albanians, but 40,000 NATO and Russian soldiers have not been able to stop ethnic Albanians from attacking Serbs, Gypsies and other minorities.
In Geneva, the U.N. refugee agency warned Tuesday that a Serb-free Kosovo soon could be the result since only 30,000 Serbs remain from the province's prewar population of 200,000.
"We are pretty much approaching the line of a Serb-free Kosovo, which is an extremely sad phenomenon," said spokesman Kris Janowski. "The terrible scenario that we warned against of one exodus following the other is happening."
Muslim mass grave exhumed in Bosnia, more may be found
The Associated Press
SARAJEVO, Bosn-
Herzegovina— Twenty-three
bodies have been exhumed by the
Muslim Commission for Missing
Persons from a mass grave in
Bosnian Serb-controlled territory,
media reported yesterday.
The Daily Oslobodjenje said the exhumation was completed on Monday near the Serb-held town of Zvornik, 45 miles northeast of the Bosnian capital Sariaievo.
The bodies were believed to be Bosnian Muslims from Srebrenica killed by Serb soldiers in July of 1995.
Srebrenica was a Muslim enclave in northeast Bosnia, which the United Nations declared a safe zone, but that did nothing to prevent Bosnian Serb forces from overrunning it in July 1995.
After the enclave fell, some 7,000 Muslims, mostly men, were missing. They were believed to have been massacred by the Serbs and are now being found in numerous mass graves spread throughout the area. So far some 2,000 bodies have been found.

Fire ignites aboard plane
The Associated Press
TAIPEI, Taiwan— An explosion sparked a raging fire aboard a Taiwanese jet on Tuesday. Twenty-eight people were injured in the second disaster to strike a Taiwanese passenger plane in several days.
The fiery landing of the UNI Airlines MD-90 followed a China Airlines crash-landing Sunday in Hong Kong. In both cases, the planes were manufactured by McDonnell Douglas Corp.
The plane in yesterday's incident caught fire on the runway in east-central Taiwan's Hualien Airport, 110 miles southeast of Taipei. As the jet touched down, there was a loud noise from the front of the cabin, and thick black smoke poured out from one of the overhead luggage compartments, according to the airline's vice president, Si Chung-ching.
Of the 96 people aboard,28 were hospitalized,including a man and woman who suffered severe burns.
Black smoke churned out of a gap.
ing hole on the right side of the plane's fuselage, while aircraft insulation and charred luggage littered the runway. Passengers were evacuated swiftly from the jet, but it took firefighters more than half an hour to douse the flames.
Authorities were not sure what caused the explosion and said they could not rule out a bomb. Police opened a criminal investigation to go along with an already-launched safety probe.
The plane had carried 90 passengers and six crew, all of them Taiwanese, on a 25-minute flight from the capital, Taipei.
Meanwhile, a Taiwanese regulator said faulty information may have played a role in Sunday's crash landing, when a China Airlines MD-11 jetliner out of Bangkok brushed a wing on the runway, burst into flames and flipped over. Two people died and 211 were injured.
Chang Kuo-cheng, the deputy director general of Taiwan's Civil Aeronautics Administration, said the pilot tried to land in stormy
cross winds that exceeded his safety threshold after getting faulty information from his co-pilot.
The co-pilot told the pilot that the winds were blowing at 26 mph when they were actually 30 mph, Chang said.
Hong Kong investigators who recovered the black box cockpit recorder from the wreckage on Tuesday would not discuss the issue.
Of the injured, 48 people were still in the hospital Monday afternoon, including one person in critical condition and three in serious condition, a Hong Kong government spokeswoman said.
Representatives from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, aircraft manufacturer Boeing Co. and jet engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney arrived in Hong Kong on Tuesday to help the Hong Kong and Taiwanese investigators.
Seattle-based Boeing was there because it has purchased McDonnell-Douglas, the plane's manufacturer.

Bombing still haunts victims
OKLAHOMA CITY—A study of survivors of the Oklahoma City bombing found that nearly half developed post-traumatic stress disorder or had other psychiatric illnesses, such as depression or problems with drugs and alcohol.
Forty-five percent of those studied were found to suffer illnesses that included chronic depression
The study, published in today's Journal of the American Medical Association, looked at 182 adults who were inside or just outside the federal building when the bomb went off in 1995, killing 168 people and injuring nearly 700. The survivors were interviewed six months after the blast.
The researchers said that they were surprised by the degree of suffering and that they hope the results help mental health professionals focus their efforts after disasters.
and drug and alcohol problems.
The biggest single group of survivors — one out of three — had post-traumatic stress disorder, a condition often seen in Vietnam veterans. Its symptoms include flashbacks, angry outbursts and sleep and concentration problems.
Bombing survivors have described nightmares, a fear of entering tall buildings, loss of trust and flashbacks triggered by loud noises.
The study was conducted by researchers at Washington University, the Oklahoma State Department of Health and the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences.
"I can still smell the smoke," said Martin Cash, a former benefits counselor with the Veterans Administration who lost an eye in the bombing. Once, when his wife was moving furniture at their home, she bumped the wall.
"That big, thud, I came unglued," he said.
Fifty-five percent of those studied only counseling, not psychiatric care, said Carol North, a psychiatrist at Washington University's School of Medicine in St. Louis and one of the study's authors.
"Nobody was untouched by this disaster, but different people were touched differently," she said. "Human distress is understandable after horrendous events such as this. We should not necessarily equate that with mental illness."
Those with more serious injuries were more prone to develop a disorder, as were those who had a family member seriously injured or killed. Survivors most at risk were those who refused to think about the event and had feelings of isolation and loss of interest in their surroundings.

House of inspiration story by jason pearce photos by matt daugherty
Young woman sitting on a wooden staircase in a forest.
Amy Blackmarr, McClouth graduate student, sits on the stairs of her "House of Steps." Blackmarr's third and latest book is based on her life in the house.
KU student and author records daily life in her unusual country dwelling
"This house is a metaphor for my life over the last years," Amy Blackmarr, graduate student.
The neighbors refer to it as the tree house. But this three-level dwelling in rural McClouth is simply where life has taken published author and University of Korean student Amy Blackmarr.
Kansas student Amy Blackmarr.
Her drafty house of three years stands out from the surrounding wilderness north of Lawrence like a dominant focus in a cluttered painting.
telling paragraph.
Her latest book, House of Steps, is a collection of personal essays written while living here with two dogs named Max and Floyd.
The lumber of the house seems to curve upward, encircling the structure until it reaches the dome of the thin tower. The nearby trees sway in the wind while birds and wasps make their presence known on a daily basis. The only hint of city life is her Honda parked on the loose gravel out from $ ^{4} $
She said that the builder had patched his ramshackle house together with anything he could find, including odd pieces of wood, plastic and foam, in order to complete the house quickly.
pierced "There is something a little inhospitable about this place," she said.
But this is the life that Blackmarr has dreamed about living. She wanted to dwell in a place that she could love, where she could continue to develop and change as a writer and a person.
This house of steps has no doors between the rooms and no closets. The staircase that connects the first floor and the third floor bedroom is narrow, twisting and uneven.
in the prologue to House of Steps, Blackmarr writes that when she sits in her study writing down the changes in her life, she rediscovers the process of day-to-day living.
"I couldn't imagine trying to take care of this place and go to school, commute to Lawrence and write books. But I had rented it, and I was stuck with it," she said.
In the book, Blackmarr refers to her home as a dark house with no rounded edges and little else that seemed to offer comfort.
tographs. She didn't know how much upkeep it would take—mowing the large yard, plowing the gravel driveway in the winter and making various repairs—to live here.
little else that seemed too much. Blackmarr, 40, didn't enjoy this lack of comfort when she first moved here from Georgia in 1996 after seeing only three photographs.
it, and I was stuck in the essay. The essays in the book developed from her life in the country. They include stories about the wildlife of the area, the serenity of the outdoors, the trees, her dogs and some mischievous teen-agers who bashed her mailbox.
"And yet all of them contain memories of my past," she said.
my past, she
Blackmarr said that people could read each of the essays independently or the work as a whole.
"This house is a metaphor for my life over the last years, she said. "It's a process of coming to terms with change and discovering that your commitments to your promises to yourself don't always take you where you think want to so."
This process, Blackmarr said, taught her to appreciate everyday life.
Before Blackmarr decided to dedicate her life to writing, she had owned a successful paralegal business in Overland Park from 1979 to 1991. She said that the monotony of the business life led her to re-examine her life.
"I was sitting there in front of my computer screen working for those lawyers when I thought to myself that I did not want to be doing this when I am 50 years old, " she said.
At this same point in her life, Blackmarr said that she had been writing seriously for several years, including children's literature and adult stories in her spare time.
But it was been enough. So she sold her business and moved back to southern Georgia where she had grown up.
But it wasn't enough.
up.
Blackmarr settled in at her family's old, unheated fishing cabin where she tried writing as a career. She decided to live and write there until her supply of money ran out. Although publishers encouraged her writing, none offered to buy her work
"I then decided to go back to school and live on government loans. This allowed me to go to school and to keep writing," she said.
Nine months later, after writing her first unpublished novel, she ran out of money.
While attending Valdosta State University in southern Georgia, she wrote Going to Ground as her master's thesis. This later became her first published book of personal essays set on the grounds of the fishing cabin.
cabin.
Doug Atkins, professor of English, said the personal essay couldn't be easily defined.
"It's a non-fictional work, though it may use fictional elements," he said. " Its drama consists in part by the way in which private experience becomes public meaning."
Atkins said a remarkable rebirth in the essay style has interested many new readers and writers.
"Some are calling our age the age of the essay," he said.
essay, he said. Before Blackmarr learned that Going to Ground would be published by the Viking publishing company, she had decided to continue her education at the University of Kansas when she was selected as a Madison and Lila Self fellow.
1m's fellowship, which she chose above a University of Georgia fellowship, allowed her the chance to continue writing the personal essays while pursuing her doctoral degree. She received a four-year stipend that pays for living expenses, tuition and fees.
Soon after accepting the fellowship and signing the lease, a Viking agent called and informed Blackmarr that Going to Ground had been bought and would be published.
This was the happiest moment in the process of making the book for Blackmarr.
Now she is writing her third personal essay collection called Above the Fall Line

THE RULES OF BEAUTY AND SURPRISE
JULIANNE BOLZER
House of Steps reveals life's charm
By Clare McLellan
Kansan book critic
Amy Blackmarr's latest book entices readers to find the good in challenging, new surroundings and enjoy the simple things in life: pets, a Honduran box, False Potato Beetles...a quiet dinner with good friends.
House of Steps, the follow-up to Blackmarr's Going to Ground, is a collection of personal essays woven together with the common thread of finding a home.
The many and varied stories revolve around Blackmarr's real house of steps, as she calls it, located just outside Lawrence. The house is an architectural oddity full of steps and curves, filled with mice and wasps. She resented it from the minute she saw it.
Each essay tells an anecdote about the life she lives in the house and of the memories this experience conjures up.
She left her grandfather's cabin in Georgia for this bizarre house off a dirt road in Kansas.
As she settled in and became reacquainted with life in the Midwest, she discovered the wonders of mowing her half-acre yard, exploring the surrounding forests with her dog and all the simple joys of living alone.
Through these remarkably colorful stories, certain truths emerge in subtle tones. From each story a lesson can be learned, or a discovery can be made. Blackmarr does this in such a way, though, that the reader doesn't feel bombarded with morals or overwhelmed with instruction.
Instead, the book suggests ways one can be happier by making others happy and finding solace in familiar smells, sights and sounds.
Another theme is the proverbial "if life gives you lemons..." mantra.
Blackmarr makes an adventure out of finding mouse "evidence" in her kitchen and shoveling her driveway in her ski-bunny snow suit. Mundane events take on new zest in this book, and it is inspiring.
Blackmarr is also quite willing to own up to her imperfections and poke fun at them. At the same time, she emphasizes that they are a natural part of life. Missing a plane, overcooking a roast, driving all the way to the vet and leaving the dogs at home all fall under the umbrella of live and learn. And routinely overcooking roasts also falls into the category of quirks we must learn to deal with in ourselves.
Inside House of Steps is the kind of book that doesn't have to be read straight through to find its magic. Picking a story at random and reading on a whim will pepper readers' days with fun, feel-good stories that impart a feeling of calm and comfort.
Blackmarr describes the lazy August evenings filled with the sound of cicada throngs. She evokes the crisp autumn days that will soon turn to snowy Kansas winters. The sensations become real. The joy of simple, country life has never held more charm.
Blackmarr will read her book at 7 p.m. September16 at Borders Books and Music, 700 New Hampshire St.

'Hawks to battle lore of the Irish
'Touchdown Jesus among distractions
By Mike Miller
By Mike Miller sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
It's understandable that the Kansas football team would jump at the chance to play Notre Dame — no team in college football history has a more storied tradition.
The Irish have the best winning percentage in history, more Heisman trophy winners, more All-American players, more Hall-of-Fame players and more National Championships than any other school in the NCAA.
The field at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Ind., might be the closest thing to hallowed ground in college football.
"The team, the tradition, everything, it's impressive." said Kansas running back
David Winbush.
The field might be so impressive that it could be a distraction to the Jayhawks when they play against Notre Dame this Saturday. This will be the first trip to South Bend for most of the players on the football team and underthebelts the first

the game more difficult to prepare for if the same thing happens to Kansas?
"To step on that field with Touchdown Jesus, it could be tough," said coach Terry Allen.
"The intimidating facet is something that had to be talked about. It's important that you talk about it."
And the players are doing their best to approach it like any other game.
"It's one game on a 12-game schedule. If we lose, it doesn't mean it's the end of our season," said outside linebacker Tim Rowers.
"But if we win, it could help make our season."
Quarterback Zac Wegner acknowledges the importance of the game, but points out that some schools in the Big 12 Conference can be just as nerveracking.
N
"I don't see how it could be much different than playing in Lincoln," he said.
Which could be a saving grace for Kansas. Playing games at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Neb., with 76,000 Nebraska fans is comparable to Notre Dame Stadium with 80,000 fans.
If Kansas does ignore being on the field and the crowd, the overall history of Notre Dame or being 17-point underdogs could
intimidate the Jayhawks. But only if they let it
"It's only going to motivate us if nobody gives us a chance," Wegner said.
Or the players could use the the environment to their advantage. The media attention, national television and the field; it could make the 'Hawks rise to the occasion.
"It'll give me more of a charge just to play on the field," said running back Mitch Bowles. "You know it's where guys like Raghib Ismail played — it's college football in the making."
But the most likely result from playing on the field at Notre Dame Stadium, may be recognizing the field — from when the Jayhawks watched Notre Dame on television.
"Every Saturday growing up that's what I did was Notre Dame," said right tackle John Oddetto.
"It'll be neat to be on the other side of the TV."

Cheerleaders band promote crimson, blue for team,fans

School hadn't started yet, but he was on the turf at Memorial Stadium in the heat and humidity practicing with teammates. He cuts right and pivots left to complete the routine.
But it isn't David Winbush or Zac Wegner, or anyone else on the Kansas football team. It's Brad Ashley, a trombone player for the Kansas Marching Band.
Ashley, Olathe sophomore, his band mates, the cheerleaders and the Crimson Girls have been practicing since early August and all went through their own forms of two-a-days at the same time the football team was suffering through its practices.
The band, cheerleaders and dance team are all mainstays of college football, but players and fans sometimes take them for granted.
"I don't think about the band the whole time (during a game)," said junior linebacker Dariss Lomax. "But when you get a chance to think about it, they do pump you up. They do keep you going. We need them, they're important to us."
All three groups are important to the fans, as well. However their efforts and hard work are not always appreciated.
But the band does not give up, and members continue to put in the hours that they do.
Most people don't realize how much work it is." said Angela Rahjes, Kensington senior. "We go through hard practices in hot weather, early mornings and afternoons."
New center gives' Hawks 'loud mouth and energy'
"Anything worth doing right is a lot of work," Foster said. "The kids believe in what they're doing, and they have a commitment."

ketball tradition.
But that didn't discourage Shelite from becoming a Jayhawk.
Shelite began receiving recruiting letters during her freshman year of high school, but she chose Kansas above all of the smaller colleges located closer to home.
If her high school success is any indication, she should do well at Kansas.
"They were the school that I had the most interaction with," Shelite said. "Everyone I met was overwhelming friendly, and it just stuck in my mind."
"I want to be able to achieve something that no one has faith in me being able to do." Shelite said.

women's BASKETBALL
Shelite. a 6-foot-4 freshman center, was the Class 3A Player of the Year as a high school junior for Medicine Lodge, a three-time first team All-State selection and a first-team All-Southwest Kansas selection for three seasons.
Shelite's interest in basketball began as a young child when her father pushed her to try out for volleyball and basketball teams.
She remained active in the sport through the summers, when
Shelite said she honed her skills through the instruction of her summer coach, Marion Heim.
"Summer ball is about three paces faster than high school basketball." Shelite said.
Now, Shelite finds herself competing for the starting center position under the direction of Jayhawks coach Marian Washington, who played a major factor in Shelite's decision to play at Kansas.
Washington needed to recruit a center to compete with Heather Fletcher and Kristin Geoffroy for the spot that Nakia Sanford left
when she graduated in May.
"Adding Jamie will make our inside game as deep as it has ever been in terms of depth," Washington said. "She's very competitive, and she's a good athlete. I think she will contribute and be a good player for this program."
Sheila tied she liked to describe her style of play as aggressive and hoped to bring energy and communication to the team this season.
"I have a lot of energy and a loud mouth," Shelite said. "I think a loud mouth is important because a team has to have communication, or they can't play well."
Kansas may steal pot of gold Saturday
We're going to beat Notre Dame on Saturday. I'll tell you why in a moment, but first, stick with me for a minute and let's talk about how this is a great game for the Kansas football program.
I'll be honest with you, dear reader. You've never read a Jonesey football column. Ever.
It's because I have never written one. But today I am breaking my silence on college football. And I'm starting off nice — the mean football columns will come later in the season.
Kansas faces Notre Dame this Saturday, in the Eddie Robinson Classic. So let's look at the implications of this could-be momentous, could-be disastrous opening football game.
Kansas is a basketball school. That's common knowledge. But one day, could
we be a basketball school AND a football school? Could the Get Ready Rally ever be as popular as Late Night with Roy Williams?
We are taking a step in the right direction by facing the Fighting Irish. More eyes will be watching this Jayhawk football game because of Notre Dame's huge following and once-

great football program. And some football fans find the little Fighting Irishman character humorous. Like Mini-Me.
Football being such a big-money sport, Kansas looks at landing around a million dollars for making the trip to South Bend, Dn. In football terms, this will cover the cost of Zac Wegner's medical bills plus new pads for the special teams. Rumor has it there could possibly be a new water cooler thrown in as well.
And just when you thought football was all about money and illegal contributions from Notre Dame's alumni, the Eddie Robinson Classic tries to do something noble.
All the profits from the Classic, in its second year and named after the former Grambling State coach who had a 408-165-15 record during 55 years of dealing with college football players, is donated to a scholarship fund for high school seniors and eighth graders.
Money aside, more people will know Coach Terry Allen's name after this weekend, and that we do have a football program. If we walk out of South Bend with a win... watch out.
We could make a phone call to Bill Snyder and tell him that maybe it's okay to schedule a decent team. The momentum taken from the match could win us another game or two on pure adrenaline and attitude. Kansas might actually sell a couple "Kansas Football" T-shirts. Highlights of the game would be shown on the MegaVision non-stop during home games.
Notre Dame has a lot on its mind. It's awaiting to hear what will happen with the alumni who reportedly gave players, families and friends more than $35,000. They haven't proven themselves in a few seasons, and in their past four bowl appearances, they've come up empty. With smoke and mirrors they continue to pretend to be one of the top teams in the nation.
And we will win. We have competitors out there wearing the Crimson and Blue. Our guys are frothing at the mouth for a chance to have a story to tell the grandkids. A chance to beat Notre Dame on their own turf doesn't come around very often, especially when you play for Kansas.
Some circles have referred to this game as a "tune-up" game for the Irish before their big games the next two weeks against No. 8, bad-boy Michigan and then the next week at No. 23 Purdue. We might find ourselves being overlooked by the Fightin' Irish.
And then you can always count on the luck o' the Jayhawk.

Aries: Today is a 7.
Somebody who cares very much is watching today. You may get a creepy feeling. Actually, this person probably means well; it's just that you like to be left alone. You're not much on touchy-feely friendships. So, somebody who's over attentive could get on your nerves. Don't snap.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
It may be hard to see how much you've accomplished over the past few weeks, but it's most likely been a lot. There's still something to deal with that might startle you. It's something more expensive than you'd planned. Don't worry. Doing without it is probably good for you.
Gemini: Today is an 8.
This is a good day to draw up your lesson plan. Even if you're not a teacher, it doesn't hurt to know what you're going to do next. A plan helps you get from here to there with grace and ease. Today you'll LOVE writing. You might pop out a short story, too.
Cancer: Today is a 5.
Your day's looking brighter, and your sweetheart's most likely in a better mood, too. That doesn't mean the day will be a snap or that everything will go according to plan. It's just that, well, you won't care quite as much if it doesn't.
Leo: Today is a 6.
If you were to get what you want, how much would it be? In dollars and cents? You won't get money by winning the lottery, although that would certainly be nice. No, this money looks like funding to create something you've been dreaming about.
Virgo: Today is a 8.
Today, your hassles aren't like the ones you had yesterday. These are more emotional than technical And, in some ways, that's more difficult. You know the technical difficulties can be solved. It's just a question of reading the manual. But, where's the manual on relationships?
Libra: Today is a 7.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
P
Something you thought would work well may fall flat. Something else, that you thought wouldn't fly, could take off and soar like a hawk. Don't beat yourself up for guessing wrong. Adapt to reality as quickly as possible.
There's another rivalry today, but to you, this looks like a kinder, gentler one. This disagreement might be on the best way to serve others, for example. You have some input that would be valuable to the combatants. They may not have all the information they need to make the decision.
Saaittarius: Today is an 8.

Although you'd like to devote every moment to the soap opera at work, you may not be able to. Something at home needs your attention. It might be nothing more significant than buying groceries, but don't forget it. If you don't do what's expected of you tonight, there will be trouble.
Today, your main concern will be the money. How can you get it without going into your reserves? Actually, that might be your clue. There may be some way to get what you want by using what you have as collateral. This could work at home, and at work.
Aquarius: Today is a 4.
Today's proceedings should turn out well for you, for the most part. There's a lucky break concerning love, but something else might not turn out as planned. That's something you're learning how to do. Be patient tonight.
Capricorn: Today is a 5.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
If you could have anything, what would it be? Your wish would probably not be for yourself. You make the world a better place. It may not happen tonight, but that doesn't mean it won't happen.

Royals rookie Febles placed on disabled list
Febles, one of three rookies whose outstanding play has given the Royals hope for the future; tore ligaments in the finger while sliding into second base against Tampa Bay on Friday. He left the game immediately and has not played since.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.— Second baseman Carlos Febles will be out two or three weeks with ligament damage to the little finger of his left hand, the Kansas City Royals said Monday.
After a reexamination in Kansas City on Monday, the finger was placed in a splint and Febles was put on the 15-day disabled list.
Febles, 22, has combined with shortstop Rey Sanchez and rookie center fielder Carlos Beltran to provide Kansas City with terrific up-the-middle defense. The Royals are on pace to challenge the team record of 192 double plays.
"It hurts us tremendously," said manager Tony Muser.
Febeles was hitting.267 with 10 home runs and 50 RBI and was second in the American League with nine triples.

Exactly 10 years after Rose was kicked out of baseball for life, commissioner Bud Selig said Monday that if Rose is elected to the All-Century team, the sport's career hits leader would be invited to the World Series.
Rose was snubbed by baseball last month when the living players among the 100 on the All-Century ballot participated in a memorable on-field ceremony before the All-Star game. Rose wasn't asked to a pregame luncheon with the others on the ballot.
Nine outfielders will make the team, and Rose was ninth in the latest vote totals, which were released last week. Stan Musial and Roberto Clemente were close behind.
whoever is elected to that team will be invited to the World Series," Selig said Monday.
Fans vote for 25 players, and the 30-man All-Century team, including five additions selected by a media panel, will be announced before the World Series opener Oct. 23.
"This is a result of an election, and I felt that in terms of what baseball does, those people who are elected ought to be asked to come," Selig said. "But does it change his status or anything else? The answer is no."
Rose said last week that he had heard rumors he might be invited if he's elected.
that he's OK with me being part of the All-City team," Rose said.
"That's good news for me to hear,

Reserve Cyclone guard to try for Olympics
AMES, Iowa — Tony Rampton, a reserve on the Iowa State basketball team, has left school to try out for the national team in his native New Zealand.
"It has always been a dream of mine to play in the Olympics," Rampton said in a statement Monday. "Returning to New Zealand gives me a chance to further my basketball at the national level."
"In addition to earning his degree, Tony has made numerous contributions to our men's basketball program on and off the court in his four years at Iowa State," Coach Larry Eustachy said.
Rampton received a degree in marketing in May but had one year of eligibility remaining and was going to do some graduate work. He averaged 1.3 points and 1.8 rebounds in 29 games last season.
MANHATTAN, Kan—Ian Sulic, a forward from Split, Croatia, has joined the Kansas State basketball team for the 1999-2000 season, Wildcats coach Tom Asbury announced Monday.
Croatian forward joins K-State basketball
Sulic, 6-foot-9 and 230 pounds, averaged 13 points and eight rebounds a game last season for Team Karlovac, a first-division Croatian team. He also led Croatia
to a bronze medal at the 1995 Youth Olympic Games in England.
"We're excited to have Ivan Sulic as a member of our basketball family." Asbury said. "He brings a wealth of international experience to our program."
Sulic will have sophomore eligibility.

Free agent Brandon re-sians with Minnesota
A team spokesman would not comment on the signing Monday night, but did confirm the team would have a news conference at 11 a.m. CDT yesterday to announce the signing of a free agent.
According to WCCO-TV, Brandon was going to sign a six-year deal worth nearly $60 million. The Saint Paul Pioneer Press put the figure at $58 million.
MINNEAPOLIS—Free agent point guard Terrell Brandon was set to resign with the Minnesota Timberwolves yesterday, according to published reports.

Brandon's agent, Bill Duffy, did not return phone calls from The Associated Press on Monday.

He averaged 13.9 points and 8.6 assists last season, leading the NBA in assist-to-turnover ratio.

Athlete continues to go for golds in Spain
SEVILLE, Spain — A day after losing her bid for a record four gold medals, world 100-meter champion Marion Jones won her opening heat in the 200 meters yesterday.
The Associated Press
Jones, who settled for bronze in the long jump Monday night, eased up in the final 20 meters and crossed the line in 22.69 seconds, the fourth-best time of the seven heats.
Jones hasn't lost in the 200 since 1995 and has won 21 consecutive finals in the event. She said she was tired after getting only five hours of sleep.
"When I was standing behind the blocks, I should have been visualizing the race," Jones said. "Instead, I was visualizing going back to my hotel and going back to bed."
Fellow American Inger Miller, who took the silver behind Jones in the 100 and figures to be her main
challenger in the 200, comfortably won her heat in 22.92.
"It was basically like a workout for me, just feeling it out," Miller said. "I've got the same motivation I had in the 100, the same high energy. That's my plan, to be on the podium."
The fastest time in the women's 200 heats was run by Jamaica's Beverly McDonald, who ran 22.52. Defending 200 champion Zhanna Pintusevich of Ukraine finished only fifth in her heat at 23.19 but still qualified for the next round.
The 200 quarterfinals were last night.

Maurice Greene, the men's 100 champion, finished only third in his opening 200-meter race. Greene, attempting to become the first man to win the 100 and 200 at a world championship, looked sluggish as he was overtaken by two runners and finished in only 20.76 seconds.
Greene looked upset after the race.
heat, was beaten by Greece's Konstantinos Kenderis (20.68) and Britain's Douglas Turner (20.72).
Former world 200 champion Frankie Fredericks of Namibia, who scratched from Saturday's 100 final with an injury, comfortably won his heat in 20.60. He said he'd been suffering from a sciatica problem since May.
In the decathlon, defending champion and world record-holder Tomas Dvorak of the Czech Republic got off to a solid start, posting the second-fastest time in the 100 meters (10.60 seconds). Chris Huffins, the U.S. and Pan American Games champion, clocked the best time (10.43).
Dvorak broke Dan O'Brien's 7-year-old record in the decathlon on July 4 in Prague, amassing 8,994 points, just short of the magical barrier of 9,000 points.

Bechard making progress
One week from the Jayhawks volleyball season opener against Missouri-Kansas City at the Horesei Family Athletics Center, Kansas coach Ray Bechard insists that his team is making progress.
Whether or not that progress results in more victories in the win-loss column this season for the Jayhawks and their second-year coach remains to be seen.
"Statistically, there are a lot of things we look for in making progress," Bechard said. "But the bottom line is people are going to look at our win-loss record. We feel like there are a lot of other areas you can look at, but obviously that's what we're going to be measured by."
Where and how the Jayhawks are measured is a task that falls to Bechard, who was hired as the sixth coach in the program's history on Jan. 29, 1998. Before coming to Lawrence, Bechard spent 13 years at Barton County
Community College in Great Bend, where he departed the school after having amassed an successful record.
Start off with winning 92 percent of his matches, equaling 716 wins. Then follow that up with the 128-straight home match winning streak he left behind, which at the time was the longest in the country. Finish it off with Beckhard's induction into the National Junior College Athletic Association Volleyball Hall of Fame last spring.
"We built obviously a pretty good (program)," Bechard said of his days at Barton County. "I would have been contented with coaching at Barton County for an extended period, but I am very excited about being here at Kansas."
That's where the Kansas volleyball program stands right now, in the hands of an NJCCA Hall-of-Fame coach looking to make a lasting impression on the Jayhawks.
"He not only knows the game, but is very personable," said senior outside hitter Tori
Holtmeier, who spent two years playing for Bechard at Barton County before transferring to Kansas. Bechard's first season as coach of the Jayhawks resulted in a six-win improvement in comparison to the previous season, including a 10-2 record in non-conference play. However, the team still finished tied for eighth in the Big 12 Conference with a 5-15 record.
Getting the Jayhawks turned in the right direction on the volleyball court is a tough task for Bechard, but he also said his responsibility as a coach entailed much more. Such as instilling into his players lessons that they can use for the rest of their lives.
"Somebody told me once that if you can get people to contribute more than they consume, then you really are on the right track. If you think about that, it's a good philosophy to have, he said."
And a philosophy that has served the Jayhawks second- year coach well.
Quarterback questions loom as season begins

Only two Big 12 Conference teams are in action this weekend — Kansas invades South Bend, Ind., to take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and Texas plays at home against North Carolina State in the Black Coaches Association Classic.
Texas coach Mack Brown is excited about the exposure and experience the game will generate for his team.
"We wanted to participate in a preseason game and this opportunity provides us the chance to play an additional haome game, gain some valuable national exposure, and support a special organization in the Black Coaches Association," Brown said. "It also pits us against a solid opponent in North
Carolina State."
The Wolfpack finished 7-5 last season and earned a trip to the Micron PC Bowl.
"I think the game will be an exciting start to our 1999 season." Brown said.
Saturday's game will give Texas fans their first chance in five seasons to see the Longhorns without 1998 Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams. The game is at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday and can be seen on ESPN2.
With the season fast approaching, teams like Nebraska, Kansas State, Missouri and Iowa State are still looking at unsettled quarterback situations.
Of the above schools, K-State is the only one that has refused to platoon quarterbacks for the upcoming season.
"We're not going to use a two-quarterback system," said Wildcats coach Bill Snyder.
Instead, Snyder will decide between redshirt junior Jonathan Beasley or senior Adam Helm to replace 1998 Heisman Trophy runner-up Michael Bishop.
Meanwhile in Lincoln, Neb., coach Frank Solich is reluctant to pin all his quarterback hopes on the oft-injured Bobby Newcombe, so Eric Crouch is also taking snaps in practice with the first team offense. While Newcombe will be the starter come the 'Huskers' season opener on Sept. 4, Solich is confident that Crouch can step up if Newcombe falters.
Missouri will test out two
"They both do a lot of good things when they're out there," Solich said.
quarterbacks this season, with both sophomore Jim Dougherty and redshirt freshman Kirk Farmer receiving an equal number of snaps.
"As far as the quarterbacks go, we plan on going with a two-quarterback system," said Missouri coach Larry Smith. "We don't have a number one and a number two guy, right now it is 1A and 1B. That's the way we'll go into the season."
Colorado received bad news last week when the Buffalofoes learned that preseason All-American offensive guard Ryan Johanningeier broke his wrist.
While Johanningmeier will be in a cast for up to six weeks, he only missed limited practice time and will play when the Buffaloes open their season Sept. 4 against

The 230 member Marching Band will learn at least seven half-time programs this year, one for each home game, and for the home opener on Sept. 11 the band will play at least 29 different songs or cheers.
"We generally arrive at the stadium four hours before a game to practice our routine," said Foster. "And on a good day 500 to 1,000 people will stay after the game and listen to us play. Kind of like a victory celebration."
The cheerleaders and Crimson Girls practices include putting in time at the weight room.

week for two-and-a-half hours and has weight training during the evenings that usually last an hour Kristi Smith, Kansas City, Kan. junior, said.
The Crimson Girls have a similar practice schedule.
The hard work pays off though when game time comes around.
"I love KU," said Smith. "And this is something I can give back to KU to show my support."
"Running out onto the field during pregame is the most exciting thing," said Rahjes. "It's one of the reasons why I'm in the band."
There seems to be a give-and-take relationship between all parties involved and the fans, though. The band especially is influenced by the fans.
"People in the stands get the band excited and it psychs up our kids," said Foster. "It makes us want to do a good job for these people."

Cubs lose 12-4, outplayed and dwarfed by Giants
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Charlie Hayes hit a three-run homer, J.T. Snow and Ellis Burks drove in three runs each and the Chicago Cubs bobbed their way through another ugly day, losing 12-4 to the San Francisco Giants yesterday.
The Cubs, who beat the Giants for the National League wild-card last year, have won just twice in the last 15 games. San Francisco, meanwhile, has won five in a row.
Shawn Estes (8-7) scattered three runs and six hits over seven innings, striking out six. Sammy Sosa broke up his shutout bid in the fourth inning with an RBI double that would have been a home run if the wind weren't blowing in.
Sosa, who leads Mark McGwire 51-50 in the home run race, finished the day 2-for-3.
Andrew Lorraine (1-2) lasted just
3 1-3 innings, giving up seven runs
— six earned—and eight hits. As if that weren't bad enough, a bee stung him on the pinkie of his pitching hand before the second inning began.
CHINATOWN
The Cubs got off to a bad start when Marvin Benard opened the game with a single after a 49-
minute rain delay, and it got uglier from there. Hayes hit a chopper right at Manny Alexander at second for what looked like a possible double play. But the ball skipped off of Alexander's glove, and Benard got to third on the error.
Barry Bonds drove in a run with a double off the left-field wall, Jeff Kent had an RBI single and Snow's sacrifice fly gave the Giants a 30-lead when the first inning finally ended.
The Cubs didn't look any sharper in the five-run fourth inning. With Scott Servails on first, Bardrew drew
Mark Grace in with a shallow grounder. Grace grabbed the ball, but no one had covered first, so he didn't have a play. It was too late to get Servais at second, too.
That brought up Hayes, who hit a line-drive home run to left-center for the 6-0 lead. Bonds followed with a single to knock out Lorraine. Reliever Steve Rain didn't fare any better, giving up RBI singles to Burks and Snow before Rich Aurilia finally grounded out to end the inning.
San Francisco added three more runs in the fifth with a two-run single from Burks and another RBI single from Snow. Kent hit a solo homer in the seventh.day, losing 12-4 to the San Francisco Giants yesterday.
The Cubs, who beat the Giants for the NL wild-card last year, have won just twice in the last 15 games. San Francisco, meanwhile, has won five in a row.
ATLANTA — Maybe they should roll a few beds into the Atlanta Braves clubhouse and turn the place into a hospital.
The Associated Press
Who would know the difference?
Battered Braves keep fighting
Every day seems to bring a discouraging medical report from the team seeking its eighth straight postseason appearance.
And those are the lucky ones.
Greg Maddux: chipped bone in his pitching hand. Rudy Seanez: stress fracture in his pitching elbow. Kevin Millwood: sore back. Brian Jordan: aching wrist.
Yet, in what may be their most impressive performance since the worst-to-first of 1991, the Braves have remained one of the National League's strongest teams.
Andres  Galarraga,  Kerry Ligten堡, Javy Lopez and Odalis Perez are done for the year, the first two without ever playing a game.
Going into last night's game
Braves
against Cincinnati, the Braves had won five in a row and 14 of their last 18 to remain a half-game ahead of the streaking New York Mets in the NL East.
The Braves got an indication of what type of season it would be before it began.
Galarraga, who hit .305 with 44 homers and 121 RBIs last season, was diagnosed with cancer in his back just before the start of spring training. While expected to make a full recovery, the Big Cat had to sit out the year to undergo treatment.
In the early days of spring training, Ligtenberg felt a twinge in his right elbow. Doctors discovered a partially torn ligament, meaning the Braves would have to replace the pitcher who became the first rookie in 12 years to save 30 games.
Lopez, a two-time All-Star catcher who had 34 homers and 106 RBIs
in 1988, hobbled for a couple of weeks on a sore right knee before succumbing to season-ending surgery in late July. The Braves promptly traded for Greg Myers.
The same day Lopez's season ended, the Braves learned that 21-year-old Perez, their fifth starter, would need surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left elbow. Like Ligtenberg, he'll be out at least 12 months.
So, at the July 31 trade deadline, Atlanta acquired left-hander Terry Mulholland from the Chicago Cubs. He has been a valuable addition both starting and relieving.
Batting in the cleanup spot formerly occupied by Galarraga, Jordan reached 100 RBIs for the first time in his career even though he's been plagued with various maladies.
Seanez wasn't as fortunate. A valuable middle reliever, he underwent a bone scan and learned that he has a stress fracture.
Seanez was placed on the DL for the seventh time in his career, but expects to return after resting a couple of weeks.
Red Sox trade for veteran pitcher
Two minor leaguers join Cardinal team
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — The Boston Red Sox yesterday acquired veteran left-hander Kent Mercker for their wild card stretch run, sending two minor leaguers to the St. Louis Cardinals.
Mercker is 6-5 with a 5.12 earned run average this season in 25 games, 18 of them start. Since July 1, Mercker is 4-2, with a 3.99 ERA. He is also 1-0 with a 2.53 ERA in four appearances against American League teams this season.
He was 11-11 in 1998, leading the team in wins in his first season in St. Louis after signing as a free agent. For his career, Mercker is 60-58.
Mercker was expected to join the team today in Minnesota, where the Red Sox are playing the Twins. Red Sox general manager Dan Duquette said the addition of Mercker should strengthen the
team for its stretch drive. Boston entered last night's games tied with Oakland for the AL wild card spot.
"He's a versatile pitcher who has the ability to be effective as a
starter and as a reliever," Duquette said. "He has had success throughout his career late in the season, and
ST LOUIS
CARDINALS
also has extensive postseason experience."
A team representative said it wasn't clear if Merker would initially start or relieve. The Red Sox are a starter short since placing right-hander Bret Saberhagen on the 15-day disabled list Monday because of a weak throwing shoulder.
For his career, Mercker is 4-2 with a 3.16 ERA in games in September and October, including 3-0 with a 2.70 ERA last September.
Mercker pitched in the playoffs during the 1991-1995 seasons as a
member of the Atlanta Braves. He is 0-1 with a 2.25 ERA in the post-season.
In exchange for Mercker, the Cardinals got left-hander Mike Matthews and catcher David Benham.
Matthews, 25, is a career minor leaguer with a lifetime 43-48 record. He began this season with Cleveland's Triple-A affiliate. He was sent to Double-A Akron in June and was traded to the Red Sox organization Aug. 3, pitching for Double-A Trenton. Overall, he is a combined 0-5 with a 7.47 ERA this season.
Matthews was the Indians' second choice in the 1992 amateur draft. He went 7-0 with an Appalachian League-leading 1.01 ERA his first season but missed the entire 1993 season with an injury.
Benham, 23, was drafted by the Red Sox in the 12th round last June. He is hitting .238 with three homers and 11 runs batted in in 33 games for Class-A Sarasota.
The Cardinals assigned Matthews to Double-A Arkansas, and Benham to Class-A Potomac.
Little league team vies for second title
The Associated Press
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Little-used pitcher Chris Fontenelle struck out nine batters in four innings yesterday and celebrated with suhi after defending champion Toms River, N.J., advanced to tomorrow's U.S. championship with a 3-1 win against Brownsburg, Ind., at the Little League World Series.
Fontelli, who mostly plays shortstop and idolizes Derek Jeter, had pitched only two innings in 21 playoff games before the series, but took the mound to keep the team's No. 2 starter, Eric Campesi, available for tomorrow. Either Campesi or Casey Gaynor will likely pitch tomorrow against a U.S. opponent that had not been determined.
rhenix City, Ala., played Boise, Idaho, last night. Fontenelli awaited his traditional postgame meal, delivered by the mother of third baseman Dave Cappello.
"We like sushi. We always have it after a game, and Dave's mom is bringing some down. So maybe it is good luck," said Fontenelli, who has played baseball since his mother started hitting him ground balls at age 4.
Campesi and Steve Bernath finished the game.
Toms River (3-0) is trying to become only the second U.S. team to win consecutive world series. A Little League team in Long Beach, Calif., won in 1992-93, but the first was by forfeit at the series for
11- and 12-year-olds.
Brownburg starter Zach Mills shook his head, spat and then wept when manager Gary King took him out of the game after two walks to start the third. Mills joined the team during the central U.S. playoffs when another player was injured.
"He's a tough kid," said Mill's father, John. "I'm sure he really wanted to stay in there. But it's high pressure. Coach made the right decision. You've got to get the batters out, and he wasn't getting them out."
Brownburg has been unable to use its best player, Nick Shipley, for anything but pinch-hitting because of a torn muscle in his throwing arm. Fonteenli struck him out in the third.
"He's a good pitcher, and he pitched for his team during the season," the elder Gaynor said. "He just doesn't get a lot of work because we have Casey and Eric and Zack (Del Vento, the winner on Monday)."
Also yesterday, Yabucoa, Puerto Rico, (2-0) came close to clinching a berth in tomorrow's international final with a 3-1 win against Osaka, Japan. Jorge Colon hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the fifth.
Colon also scored in the fourth on a single by Nelson Hernandez. Right fielder Juan Rivera saved at least two runs and maybe three with a diving, twout catch in right field in the top of the fifth with the score 1-1 and the bases loaded.

Chiefs tired after fast-paced practices
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Gunther Cunningham's fast-paced, up-tempo training camp may be taking a toll on the Kansas City Chiefs.
Even Cunningham admitted after yesterday morning's practice that his troops were getting weary.
"When we went to two minutes I thought they were all going to fall down and pass out," said the first-year coach. "But we had a good two-minute drill. The offense did a good job on the first one and the defense did a good job on the second one. It was a good day at the office."
During a three-week stay at their training camp in River Falls, Wis., the Chiefs astonished even themselves with the pace of two-a-day practices. Cunningham, who replaced Marty Schottenheimer this year, said he wanted no waste time.
"There's a lot of guys who are tired right now,
me being one of those guys who's tired," said backup quarterback Warren Moon, 42. "Over the next few days we should be able to get our legs back and start getting back into a regular routine. But a tough camp was what this team needed."
Still, no one is complaining that they're being worked too hard.
"The attitude is back in the right direction again," Moon said. "But we need to get our second wind back so we can start the season off fresh."
The Offers kept up their pace after ending camp last weekend.

"It's kind of tiring. I'm kind of exhausted," said safety Reggie Tongue. "But we're learning a lot, getting better."
to the new tempo.
It figures that by now, players would be adjusted
"You would think so," Tongue said. "But after you go out there and start running around a little bit, the legs aren't there and you feel it. But it's a good thing. We get out there and get our work done. We're getting in shape and getting a gametype tempo in practice."
The Chiefs will travel to Jacksonville, Fla., tomorrow for a night exhibition game against the Jaguars. They plan to use most of their first team for at least the first half, including quarterback Elvis Grbac.
"Just like this practice, I'm sure we're going to be a little more fatigued, but I don't care," Cunningham said. "We've got to get our work out of the way. The schedule's not in our favor. But we're going to do what we have to do."
Outside linebacker Donnie Edwards, hobbed since the first week of camp with a bruised hip, should see his first action against the Jaguars.
Modest standout faces media hype
The Associated Press
The line starts forming whenever word gets out that Drew Brees is home.
From all over the Austin, Texas, neighborhood people come to the Brees' doorstep, asking for their buddy.
The guy nobody wanted out of high school is everybody's favorite quarterback these days. He turned the Big 10 Conference upside down with his 3,983 yards passing and 39 touchdowns last season, and the Kansas State Wildcats still haven't figured out how he beat them at the Alamo Bowl.
Now the quarterback for No. 23 Purdue is a Heisman Troop favorite.
"Never would have thought. Uh-uh," he said.
He seemed destined to be a big-time quarterback. His family tree is full of football players.
His high school team went 28-0-1 in Brees' junior and senior years in Class 5A, the toughest
in Texas. He threw for 5,461 yards and 50 touchdowns.
No one seemed to want Brees.
Then he got a call from Joe Tiller, who was moving to Purdue.
He played sparingly his freshman year, enough to show he was picking up the offense but not enough to win Tiller over completely.
Then in just his fifth game, Tiller threw for 522 yards and six touchdowns against Minnesota.
The next week he set NCAA records with 55 completions and 83 attempts.
Suddenly, everyone was talking about Brees.
In the Alamo Bowl, he took the Boilermakers 80 yards in the final minute to upset the Wildcats 37-34.
That's what really started the Heisman hype, a subject Brees hates.
"He's just a down-to-earth guy." Tiller said. "He likes to be thought of as one of the good guys."
Cincinnati quarterback scurries to attend camp
The Associated Press
CINCINNATI — Now that he's got a seven-year deal worth as much as $56 million, Akili Smith has a lot of catching up to.
The determined back of the future took an overnight flight and arrived for what's left of training camp yesterday, less than three weeks
The Cincinnati Bengals' quarter-
ZEBRA
before the season opener.
Smith, the last unsigned member of the celebrated quarterback class of '99, agreed to a contract Monday evening.
He got about two hours of sleep overnight, attended a brief news conference after signing his contract, then headed for training camp and an afternoon workout in Georgetown, Ky.
Brown talked all off season about acquiring a quarterback to pull his team out of a decade-long rut. He said he's still hoping that Smith can pick up the offense quickly enough to make an impact this season.
("General manager Mike Brown)
said, "I don't care about you sleeping,
I don't care about you eating. We
want 'you in there practicing.'"
Smith said.
"It is a good time for him to be in Cincinnati, with our new stadium coming out of the ground," Brown said.
Smith, chosen overall behind quarterbacks Tim Couch and Donovan McNabb, doesn't want to repeat the experience that Bengals quarterback David Klingler had in 1992.
Klingler, the No. 6 pick overall that season, didn't sign until one week before the season opener. The Bengals made him the starter 12 weeks into the season, but he got sacked 10 times by Pittsburgh in his debut and never panned out.
Smith, who like Klingler has been represented by agent Leigh Steinberg, has a few things in his favor. Unlike Klingler, he got to work out with the Bengals before training camp started, so he's not as far behind.
Jury deliberates in receiver's case
The Associated Press
MIAMI — Miami Dolphins receiver Tony Martin never made any effort to hide a series of cash repayments and simply was trying to help a longtime friend through troubled times, his lawyer told jurors yesterday.
Martin faces five federal charges of money laundering. He is being tried alongside Rickey Brownlee, who served seven years in prison for two
1980s drug convictions, in a case largely focusing on brownlee's alleged
CAROLINA
narcotics activities from 1994 to 1997.
After the closing statements in the 3 1/2-week-old case were completed this morning, jurors begin deliberations.
Martin is accused of leasing three cars in his name on behalf of Brownlee, who paid him back with cash. He also is accused of taking $100,000 in cash to reimburse a check written to Brownlee's first lawyer.
At issue is whether Martin, who has known Brownlee since childhood and calls him his uncle, knowingly accepted drug money.
Yesterday, Srebnick recounted Martin's inner-city upbringing in Miami, saying Brownlee was somebody who helped the youngster pursue his dream of playing professional football.
So when Brownlee needed a car and had no credit after his release from prison in 1993, Srebnick said, Martin was willing to help out the man who once helped him.
Srebnick also noted that Martin, who has been heavily in debt for years and filed for bankruptcy last March, received less in repayment than the amount of the checks he wrote for the cars.
The lawyer also pointed out that Brownlee managed two restaurants that took in about $1.6 million during 2 1/2 years. Srebrnick said that Martin saw his friend as a successful businessman.
"The government wants you to think 'cash' is some kind of fourletter word," Srebnick said. "It's currency. It's money. There is no evidence that any money Martin received was drug money."
Assistant U.S. Attorney Ron DeWaard painted a different picture in his closing argument. He called Martin a money launderer for a drug trafficker and said there was no way the receiver could have thought the huge cash reimbursements were anything but drug money.
"When you do a transaction with a drug dealer, you can't say, 'I don't care. I'm not going to look at where that money is coming from.' DeWaard said.
Three months after Brownlee's 1993 release, DeWaard noted, Martin wrote checks for more than $13,000 to lease a 1994 Acura Legend. Days later, the receiver deposited $12,900 cash into his bank account. Similar deposits were made after Martin leased two other cars used by Brownlee.
Recounting video and audiotapes of undercover drug transactions linked to Brownlee, DeWaard said Brownlee piled up $1.3 million in unexplained wealth.
Brownlee's lawyers argued that his money was made from the restaurant business, not drugs, and any cash given to Martin was legally acquired.
Attorney Peter Raben said prosecutors disregarded $1.6 million in revenue generated

African runners win world titles
SEVILLE, Spain — Hicham El Guerrujol of Morocco and Haile Gebralesse of Ethiopia strengthened their status as two of the greatest distance runners in history with commanding performances at the World Championships yesterday and retained their titles.
The Associated Press
El Guerroul won the 1,500 meters in a championship record of 3 minutes, 27.65 seconds — the fifth fastest time ever — while Gebelserlasse ran to his fourth consecutive gold medal in the 10,000 meters in 27.57.17.
With victory assured, he blew kisses to the crowd and eased up as he ran the final 50 meters. After crossing the line, he fell to his knees and kissed the track.
In the 1,500, El Guerroj moved in front just past the 800-meter mark and pulled away to win by a large margin.
doubles yesterday, winning their quarterfinal rounds in the 200 meters.
Greene looked flat and finished third in his opening heat in the morning, but came back strong in the evening, moving well clear of the field before easing up in the final 10 meters to finish in 20.23.
It was another dominant show by Gebruselassie, who has set 15 world records in long distance events. It was his first 10,000 race of the season.
Only 24, El Guerrouj, the heir to north African greats Said Aouita and Noureddine Morceli, already has won two world titles and an Olympic gold medal. He also holds the world records in the 1,500 and the mile.
El Guerrotj dedicated his victory
Noah Ngeny, the 20-year-old Kenyan who pushed El Guerrouj to the mile record in Rome July 7, finished second in 3:28.73. Spain's Reyes Estevez, cheered on by a capacity crowd at the 60,000-seat Estadio Olimpico, got the bronze in 3:30.57.

In the 10,000, Gebriselassie toyed with the field for most of the race before edging into the lead for good 10 meters before the final lap. At the 200-meter mark, he bolted away. As he sprinted down the straightway, he looked over both shoulders but there were no challengers in sight.
Jones overcame heat and fatigue to take her races in 22.69 and 22.45 seconds, the fourth fastest times in both rounds.
The other gold medal of the night went to Romanian Mihaela Melinte, who won the inaugural women's hammer competition at the worlds with a throw of 247 feet.
Jones, who lost her bid for a record four gold medals when she was beaten in the long jump, can still get three golds with victories in the 200 and one of the relays.

Swimmers make splash at Olympic pool
Based on the record-breaking performances in the pool at this week's Pan Pacific championships, next year's Games could set a world records benchmark for which future Olympics will be measured.
While the Sydney International Aquatic Center at Homebush has become the sport's newest speed palace, swimmers admit they are at a loss to explain whether it is the venue or just peak performances by the athletes.
Six world records have been broken in just three days at the Olympic pool in the first major test of a venue for next year's Games.
SYDNEY, Australia — Sydney's Olympic organizers couldn't have asked for anything more.
Australian Susie O'Neill said it might be swimmers anxious to get acclimated.
University Dance Company
On Monday, American Jenny Thompson broke Mary T. Meagher's 18-year-old 100-meter butterfly record. Australia's Ian Thorpe broke his third world record of the meet yesterday, again smashing the 200 freestyle, while South Africa's Penny Heyns also continued her run with a fifth world record in five races in the 100 breaststroke.
"It's probably just the atmosphere, I think, everyone just wants to swim well at this pool." O'Neill said.
7 PM Wednesday, August 25
American Lenny Krayzelburg, who set a new mark in the 100-meter backstroke last night by breaking a record that had held since 1992, said the pool was the best he had ever swum in.
This is the first major international meet at an Olympic venue, and although it is not an official test event, it provides an indication of what the pool could offer next year for Olympic swimmers.
Ozone treatment of the water helps visibility and reduces the taste, smell and eye soreness that comes from chlorine.
Anti-wave lane ropes, a level wet-deck and water depth of 10 feet that reduces turbulence, angled starting blocks with handle bars, ozone-treated water, temperature controls of the air and water, vibrant colors around the pool and energetic music all play a part, according to pool general manager Jamie Barkley.

Merging golf cups suggested
The Associated Press
AKRON, Ohio — Forgive the Americans if this cup business is getting old.
They play the Ryder Cup one year, the Presidents Cup the other. They can't seem to hang onto either one, and it might not be long before they can't seem to keep them straight.
Nick Faldo set a record by playing on 11 straight Ryder Cup teams. Big deal. Barring injury or boredom, Tiger Woods will have played on his 11th straight U.S. team at the ripe young age of 31.
By then, the two cups may more closely resemble the Davis Cup — no one will care, including those who have to play it year after year.
"Whether the top players, that are going to be asked to represent their country every year for the next decade, will ever opt not to play, I don't know," Payne Stewart said. "I hope that never occurs, but I think we're going to have to take a long, hard look at it."
When Samuel Ryder commissioned that gold chalice in 1926, he never dreamed the world of golf would stretch far beyond the Atlantic Ocean to places like South Africa, Australia, even Paraguay. The only world powers in golf back then were Britain and the United States.
Imagine what Ryder would think if he could see all the talent assembled this week at Firestone Country Club for the NEC Invitational, the $5 million World Golf Championship bonanza for Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup players.
So many great players. So many cups.
In a downtown Atlanta hotel room last November, Jack Nicklaus first broached
Assume that Europe wins the Ryder Cup (again) next month at The Country Club Europe then would have the right to meet the International team in the 2000 Presidents Cup. The winner of those matches would play the losing Ryder Cup team in 2001.
The only drawback is where to play.
the idea of a tri-match, conceding that it might become harder every year to get the Americans motivated to play for a cup.
Interest would be minimal if Europe and the International team were to play the next Presidents Cup in Virginia, just as it would be if the International team played the Americans at The Belfry in 2001.
Plan A: The winner keeps playing
"Right now, it's pretty good the way it is," Nicklaus said. "Someday, probably sooner rather than later, that might happen."
The solution? The losing team would be the home team, giving it two years to prepare a site. It would help if each team stuck to one venue, although the International team should have more flexibility.
Here's how it can.
Each cup could keep its name, even if it lost some of its identity.
Plan B: The mother of all matches
This is a little more complex, but a lot more compelling.
The United States, Europe and International team would each bring 12-man squads to the new and improved and globally correct Ryder Cup — three teams playing every two years for one cup.
On the first two days, six best-ball matches would be played in the morning, followed by six alternate-shot matches in
For every session, the captain submits his pairings in what amounts to a blind draw. A U.S. team plays a European team in the first and fourth matches, Europe plays the Internationals in the second and fifth matches, and the Internationals play the United States in the third and sixth matches.
For Sunday singles, another blind draw. Six Americans would play six Europeans and the other six Americans would play six from the International team. The left-over six from Europe and International would play each other.
The team with the most points wins. In case of a tie, each captain submits one name to compete in a four-hole playoff.
The only hang-up is getting the PGA of America and the PGA Tour to agree on who runs the show and controls the dough — a major obstacle.
Still, it would help maintain pride and enthusiasm about playing for the flag, and it would reflect the global nature of golf.
Purists no doubt will protest that the storied Ryder Cup should never be tainted. Then again, the rest of Europe was invited to the Ryder Cup in 1979, and it somehow managed to survive. Is it too much to invite the rest of the world to the dance?
the afternoon.
Samuel Ryder surely would not have frowned on the inclusion of Seve Ballesteros, just as he wouldn't protest the inclusion of Ernie Els.
He would probably say the same thing he uttered to George Duncan that night in 1926 when the idea of the Ryder Cup matches was first hatched.
"Why not?"
Controversy dampens spirit at tournament
ALQHA, Ore. — Phil Mickelson was in a good mood when he came into the clubhouse.
The Associated Press
He had just shot a terrific round on an easy course at the Fred Meyer Challenge, a low-pressure charity tournament.
Walking up the 18th fairway, Mickelson waved to a group of fans in the grandstand after they yelled, "How's the baby?" in reference to his daughter, Amanda, born the day after the U.S. Open two months ago.
But Mickelson's demeanor quickly changed when he was asked about the lingering controversy about whether Ryder Cup players should be paid.
During the PGA Championship earlier this month, American team captain Bren Crenshaw angrily picked out Mickelson, along with David Duval, Tiger Woods and Mark O'Meara as players who wanted a say in how the PGA of America spends profits from the Rvder Cup.
"I did not say anything to the media. I did not say a word," Mickelson said Monday. "I didn't say what my views were. All Ben said was he was disappointed in me. That was a confidential meeting. He was out of line.
"And you'll have to ask him why he was disappointed in me."
Before his pointed comments, Mickelson was happier discussing his opening round at the Reserve Vineyards and Golf Club west of Portland. He made an eagle on No. 5 and seemed to gain momentum as the day wore on and the temperature climbed near 90 degrees.
Mickelson and teammate Jay Haas finished at 11 under-par 61 to grab a share of the lead in the $1 million best-ball tournament.
Billy Andrade and Brad Faxon had an eagle on No. 16 and a bird on No. 17 to also finish 11 under.
"Phil really played a great round of golf," Haas said.

"He very much liked the Swedish people, and the area is beautiful. The chemistry is right, and the timing is right," Haney said, adding that Johnson's presence might help promote basketball in a country where most people prefer ice hockey and soccer.
Johnson, 40, tested positive for the HIV virus in 1991 and retired for the first time just before the start of the 1991-92 season. After returning to play on the U.S. team that won the gold medal in the 1992 Olympics, he made a brief comeback before the 1992-93 season, but quit again after several players worried aloud about possible health dangers of playing against him.

It brought back memories of a tragedy in his life, when his brother, Fred Bates, was shot and killed in Tallahassee, Fla., seven years ago at age 18.
BEREA, Ohio — Corey Fuller, a Cleveland Browns defensive back, was understandably upset when he read that a 13-year-old girl in Cleveland had been accidentally shot by one of her playmates.
Browns coach Chris Palmer noticed that Fuller, one of the Brown's' defensive starters, was distraught. The coach discussed the situation with him.
"I told him that I wanted to get in touch with the family of the little girl who was killed," Fuller said. "I just wanted to talk to them."
That afternoon, two siblings of the girl arrived at the Brown's training camp. Fuller met them and prayed with them.
As a young player with the Vikings, Fuller was once jailed for two days after an altercation with a fan. He also was fined twice by the NFL for excessive violence during a game.
"Football is a violent sport," he said. "That's the reality of it. But I'm not a violent plaver."
He credits former Minnesota teammate Cris Carter for teaching him to control his anger.

Sidewalk scribbles may be banned
KU may chalk advertisements
（USPS 650-640）
By Nathan Willis
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Most of the sidewalk chalk is gone now, washed away by the rain or facilities and operations crews.
But the first couple days of school last week, the usually gray concrete campus sidewalks were flooded with a sea of color — largely student-etched advertisements pitching Web sites.
And that had administrators seeing red
"I think it's extraoardinarily discourteous to the University community," said Provost David Shulenburger.
Discourteous, however, is all it is for now. There is no policy at the University of Kansas specifically barring sidewalk writings.
But, Shulenburger said, that might change. He said that any potential policy changes would come from university governance.
Mary Hawkins, president of University Council, said governance had dealt with the issue before but had not passed a regulation against sidewalk writing. She said she didn't know if governance would address the issue again this year.
Meanwhile, Shulenburger said the proliferation of chalk forced facilities and operations crews to wash off the sidewalks as part of their cleaning rounds.
"It adds to the expense of the University, an institution that has a limited budget," he said.
Shulenburger also said he was concerned about the number of writings and drawings that were advertisements, such as an ad in front of Wescoe Hall plugging bigwords.com, an online textbook
company that promised a 40 percent discount and free shipping within 48 hours.
Jodi Gershini, communications director for the online textbook company, VarsityBooks.com, said the company hired KU students to serve
For now, bigwords.com and other companies are treading a fine line between University policy and the administration's discouragement of the practice.
as marketing representatives. She said it was those students, not VarsityBooks.com, who decided how to market the company on campus, meaning the students were responsible for placing sidewalk advertisements.
"We don't tell them what to do or how to do it." Gershini said.
She said the students had to pore through University regulations to determine which forms of marketing were allowed before they could design marketing campaigns.
She said she didn't know that KU administrators had discouraged the practice and that if other companies were willing to stop, VarsityBooks.com probably would, too.
—Edited by Allan Davis
"If the school is not happy about it and passes some rule against it, then we would tell our campus reps to stop doing it." Gershini said.
He said that the sidewalk writing was drinkspecials.com's major ad campaign on campus and that it had significantly increased hits on its Web site.
Another frequent sidewalk advertiser, drinksspecials.com, lists drink specials in local bars and restaurants. It also was careful to check the legality of the practice before hiring students to scrawl on sidewalks.
"We checked with the Public Safety Office on Wednesday and were told by officers on duty that it was legal," said John Laing, chief executive officer of Drinkspecials.
New jurors chosen for Hunsucker trial
By Katie Hollar
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Credibility was the credo yesterday at the second rape trial for Gregory Hunsucker II, Olathe sophomore.
It was a running theme as Prosecutor Dave Zabel and Defense Attorney Don Smith questioned 45 potential jurors for more than two hours yesterday morning.
Credibility was also an issue in the afternoon, when Smith focused on several discrepancies between the alleged victim's initial written statement last October, testimonies this June and responses to questioning yesterday.
Throughout his opening statement and subsequent questioning of the alleged victim, Smith pointed to several examples of inconsistencies. These included whether she was laying or sitting on her bed when Hunsucker restrained her and whether he unnapped her bra or pushed it aside.
The rape charges stemmed from events on Oct. 17 at Ellsworth Hall. The alleged victim, a female resident of the hall, said Hunsucker overpowered her, penetrated her vagina with his finger and touched her
She said although her memory was sketchy, she did not waver from the truth.
breasts without consent.
Kansas law defines rape as sexual intercourse with a person who does not consent under several circumstances, including when the victim is overcome by force or fear.
Sexual intercourse is defined as any penetration of the female sex organ by a finger, the male sex organ or any object. Kansas law states that any penetration is sufficient to constitute sexual intercourse.
Hunsucker initially was tried in June for rape and two other charges from the night of Oct. 17 — furnishing alcohol to a minor and sexual battery. He pleaded guilty to furnishing alcohol to a minor and was fined $250 and ordered to undergo an evaluation for alcohol treatment. The jury found him not guilty of sexual battery.
Despite a three-hour deliberation, however, the jury was unable to reach a unanimous decision. Kansas law allows a case to be retried indefinitely if there is a hung jury.
While the jury in June was comprised of 11 women and one man, this jury includes six men and six women.
Hunsucker's trial will resume at 9 a.m. today in Division II court. Zabel said he expected the trial to continue for three days.
Student Senate has money to spend
--Edited by Chris Hutchison

Kansan staff writer
By Chris Borniger
How to spend the hundreds of thousands of dollars sitting in Student Senate's reserve account will probably be a contentious issue when senators first meet next month.
The account, which holds money left over from previous Senate fiscal years, contains about $350,000, according to Student Body President Korb Maxwell. The entire Senate budget for this year, is $737,000.
The money in the reserve account, however, is in dispute. Maxwell said it could pay for several small projects, such as shelters at KU on Wheels bus stops.
"We want to do something that will improve the overall University community," he said.
Student Senate Executive Committee Treasurer Patrick McGiffert said about $200,000 of the money was reserved for emergencies, such as when Senate in 1994 allotted $140,000 to ball out the KU on Wheels system.
"It's smart to keep a substantial amount in
reserve." he said.
According to Maxwell, using surplus money from the reserve account is typical. He cited a memorial west of Potter Lake honoring students who served in the Vietnam War, which was built in 1983 with funds from the account.
Maxwell said he favored spending some of the money rather than letting the account continue to grow.
Maxwell also said he was exploring ways to get matching funds through the Kansas University Endowment Association.
"If we find someone to match our money, we can leverage it more." he said.
"I'm of the opinion that, if the project is worthy, then yes, go ahead and spend the money," he said. "But don't spend it just for
Aravind Muthukrishman, finance committee chairman, said he opposed spending the money in the reserve account.
"We want to do something that will improve the overall University community."
the sake of spending it. Giving it up wouldn't be a prudent move."
Because the reserve account is subject to state control, the state claims the interest.
"The way it it's treated now is like a tax," he said. "I'd rather sit on it and let it grow in an interest-bearing account. Then the money students pay is like a donation. With no restrictions, then we could really do something to benefit students more than a $25,000 program that falls flat on its face."
Student Body Vice President Dede Seibel said senators would have to work together to resolve the issue.

Provost pleased that KU loses party ranking

Kansan staff writer
The Princeton Review's guide to the 331 best colleges in the nation ranked the University as the eight best party school in 1997 and 1998.
Breaking a two-year streak, the Princeton Review did not rank the University of Kansas as one of the top party schools in the nation this year.
And KU administrators couldn't be happier. "I'm very pleased with that," Provost David Shulenburger said. "I think that was an anomaly the last time. This is a serious place."
To determine the rankings for this year's issue, the Princeton Review surveyed 59,000 students around the nation about aspects of their colleges' campus lives. California's Sonoma State University took over the University's eighth-place slot. Florida State University was ranked first.
TOP 10 PARTY SCHOOLS
University was rated "The Princeton Review is a pretty disreputable guide of this type," said Shulenburger.
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, said he also was pleased that the

University was no longer ranked as a top party school.
"That's the best news in respect to a rating I've ever received," he said. "You're always concerned about the image portrayed of your institution in the media."
6. U.
7. University or Alabama-Tuscaloosa
8. Sonoma State University (California)
9. Washington State University
10. University of Georgia
Ambler said the Princeton Review's rankings received too much attention.
"It's the most irresponsible, unscientific and frivolous rating, and yet damaging," Ambler said.
Evan Schnittman, vice president of publishing for the Princeton Review, said the ratings
weren't supposed to be statistically perfect. Instead, he said, the rankings were supposed to convey a general picture of university life.
Schnittman said the University's anti- alcohol campaign during the last year may have contributed to its disappearance from the top 10.
"We never, ever, ever claim to be scientific," Schnittman said. "It's never been anything less than anecdotal."
"My hunch is that people have pulled back and are a little gun-shy," he said.
"I doubt very much that has anything to do with it," he said.
Shulenburger said not enough time had passed for students' attitudes toward alcohol to change dramatically.
Dede Seibel, student body vice president, said she hoped the University's absence from the list would alleviate some of the stereotypes about the campus. She said positive mentions in U.S. News and World Report and Fiske college guides should be highlighted instead.
"These are the stats that truly say what KU is about," Seibel said.

City Commission plans for more bicycle paths
The Lawrence City Commission took another step toward making Lawrence more bicycle-friendly at its meeting Tuesday night.
Aaron Bartlett, city transportation planner, presented the commission with the Bicycle Compatibility Index report and the Draft Bicycle Work Program.
The BCI report was prepared by TransSystems Corp., a national traffic consulting firm, and suggests ways that Lawrence can become more compatible with bicycle traffic.
Recommendations include developing a network of bicycle routes, designing new roads with bicycle lanes and paths in mind, retrofitting some existing roads as they are resurfaced or repaired and sending a consistent message to drivers and cyclists about traffic rules.
Existing roads that the report suggests are compatible for bicycle lanes include Naismith Drive from Iving Hill Road to 23rd Street, Louisiana Street from 19th Street to 31st Street, and Vermont Street from Seventh Street to 11th Street.

Martin star collapses enters three-day coma
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.—Actor Martin Lawrence collapsed while jogging and lay in a coma for three days before regaining consciousness, hospital officials said Wednesday.
Lawrence, 34, who starred in TV's Martin and the movies Life, Bad Boys and Nothing to Lose, was listed in serious condition yesterday at Los Robles Regional Medical Center.
The cause of the collapse was not disclosed.
His girlfriend opened their front door on Sunday after he had gone out for a jog and found him keeled over the doorstep, moaning and having trouble breathing, hospital representative Kris Carraway.
Lawrence arrived at the hospital with a temperature of 107 degrees and had lanced into a coma. Ms. Corm

He didn't regain consciousness until Tuesday, she added.

Annual tomato tossing draws crowds to Spain
BUNOL, Spain — Drenching themselves in thick red mush, thousands of revelers pelted each other with 140 tons of ripe tomatoes yesterday in Spain's sloppiest summer festival.
The warriors were given free wine before the battle to get them in the mood, as well as safety goggles, masks and helmets to protect them from the juicy ordinance. Seven tomato-laden trucks disgored the day's supply of red ammunition, and it was everyone for themselves.
Residents of Calle San Luis, the street where the battle was fought, covered buildings with plastic sheets to keep them clean.
Participants screamed for spectators enclosed in balconies to shower them with buckets of water. Onlookers were only too happy to oblige.
Authorities in Bunol, 25 miles north of Valencia on Spain's east coast, said the decades-old tradition this year drew more than 30,000 people, some of them from as far away as Japan and Argentina.
Mayor Minneva Gomez said the town bought 100 tons from a farm cooperative, which threw in another 40 for good measure, free of charge.
Gomez said it takes about three hours to hose down the town and leave it good as new. "Not a trace of tomato, anywhere," she said.
Truck bomb explodes near Afahistan ruler
KABUL, Afghanistan—A powerful truck bomb exploded near the home of the leader of Afghanistan's ruling Taliban movement, killing seven people, including three bodyguards, Taliban officials said yesterday.
The explosion, shortly after 1.0 p.m. local time Tuesday in southern Kandahar, shattered windows and doors and sent frightened residents scurrying for cover.
The truck was parked three houses away from Mullah Mohammed Omar's home, said Taliban representative Abdul Hai Muttain.
The Taliban religious army, which rules 90 percent of Afghanistan, is fighting an opposition alliance that has been restricted to northern Afghanistan.
No one took responsibility for the explosion, but Muttman blamed the Taliban's enemies.
Omar was not at home at the time of the explosion, which slightly damaged his walled compound, officials said.
Tuesday's truck bomb was the first attack on the Taliban in their stronghold of Kandahar, hundreds of miles from the fighting.
Muttmain said the Taliban, who have been under pressure from the United States to hand over accused terrorist Osama bin Laden, suspect the United States was involved in the bombing.
Pakistan won't have arms race with India
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—Nuclear weapons are an indispensable part of Pakistan's security, but the country won't embark on a tit-for-tat nuclear arms race with hostile neighbor India, the government's defense committee said yesterday.
The number and types of weapons Paki stan will possess will be determined by "our minimum nuclear deterrent capability," which is an "indispensable part" of maintaining the nation's security, a government statement said.
The nation's defense committee condemned India's policy advocating the development of nuclear weapons and the retaliatory use of them. The committee's members include the army chief of staff, his naval and air chief as well as ministers of foreign affairs, finance and information
Pakistan and India both exploded underground nuclear devices last year and declared themselves the world's newest nuclear powers.
The international community urged the Asian rivals to open talks, most notably on the 52-year-old territorial dispute over Kashmir. India and Pakistan have fought three wars.
A sluggish negotiation process that began earlier this year collapsed when Pakistan-backed Islamic militants gained control of territory in Indian-held Kashmir in May. The dispute threatened to escalate into an all-out war, generating fears of a nuclear conflagration.
Stolen paintings found after long investigation
HELSINGOER, Denmark—Two suspects who were negotiating to sell stolen paintings by Rembrandt and Giovanni Bellini have been arrested, Danish police said yesterday.
The artwork was found late Tuesday, slightly damaged but in good shape, said Deputy Criminal Inspector Kjeld Agerskov.
A seven-month investigation led investigators to a suburban basement where they found Rembrandt's 'Portrait of a Lady' and Bellini's 'Portrait of a Young Man in a specially made box apparently made for their transportation.
On Jan. 28, two men store the paintings from the private Nivaagard Collection museum in nearby Hoersholm, 15 miles north of Copenhagen.
The suspects held several meetings with potential buyers. Aeskerskov said,
Despite their immense financial and artistic value, the paintings were not protected by sensors, surveillance videos or alarms at the museum.
The Associated Press
United States, Somalia refuse to sign U.N. treaty
The Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS—Dozens of ambassadors and a top U.N. official called yesterday for all governments to ratify treaties to protect children of war and to cease enlisting soldiers younger than 18 to fight.
At an open meeting of the United Nations Security Council on the plight of children in war, delegates voiced alarm at the increasing numbers of children killed or maimed in wars or actively recruited to fight in them.
"Children neither start wars nor perpetrate them. They should not pay the price for adults' wars," said the deputy British Ambassador Stuart Eldon in announcing more than a half million dollars to support U.N. projects for children affected by wars.
U. N. figures show more than 300,000 children under 18 are known to be under arms around the world, in places such as Sudan, Colombia, Angola, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. In most of these countries, children under 15 — and even as young as seven or eight — have reportedly been taking part in armed conflicts.
In the last decade, 2 million children have been killed, 1 million orphaned, 6 million seriously injured or disabled and 12 million made homeless because of war.
The U.N. Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict, Olara Otunnu, made a pointed appeal yesterday for the ratification and worldwide application of the Geneva Conventions, the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the treaty establishing the International Criminal Court.
His call was backed by ambassadors from Malaysia, Argentina, Canada, the Netherlands and Russia, among others. Several ambassadors including those from Slovenia and Britain also backed Otunnu's plea to raise the age limit for the recruitment of soldiers from the present 15 to 18.
The United States, however, opposed the move because it wants to retain the ability to recruit high schoolers for the military.
The U.S. is also the only country aside from Somalia that hasn't signed the Convention on the Rights of the Child. And it was one of seven countries that refused to sign the statute creating the world's first permanent international criminal court, and has been trying to curb its reach to protect U.S. civilians and military from political prosecutions.
Deputy U.S. Ambassador Nancy Soderberg referred indirectly to the U.S. positions on the touchy subjects, saying the council shouldn't be distracted by the debates on the margins.

City raises fake ID, MIP fines despite objection
By Darek Prater
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A night of drunken revelry just got more expensive for underage partiers in Lawrence — if they get caught.
Despite objections from Michael Henry, University of Kansas student representative, the Lawrence City Commission passed two new ordinances Tuesday night that raise the fines for minor in possession of alcohol and possession of false identification from $200 to $300.
Henry, community affairs director for Student Legislative Awareness Board, appealed to the commission not to raise fines but instead to work with the University of Kansas to curb underage drinking.
"We're just a little concerned that raising the fines for minor in possession and fraudulent IDs won't exactly curb the problem like the city might think it will," he said.
Henry offered alternative ideas to the commission to address the problem of underage drinking.
sion to address the problem of underage diking. Rather than increasing fines, the commission should consider adding public service requirements for offenders, Henry said.
"Places like the juvenile correction facility are in constant need of tutors," Henry said. "What better way for our students at the University who do commit a crime ... to pay for it than by working with a 13-year-old who has already committed a serious crime?"
Henry also said that he thought that programs such as the one supported by a $400,000 state grant to the University, which attempts to dispel misconceptions about drinking by advertising "drinking norms," were more effective than simple punitive action.
He said that Student Body President Korb Maxwell was offering to form a university commission to work with the city on creating more non-alcohol related activities for people in the 19 to 24 age group.
Commissioner Marty Kennedy pointed out that the ordinances were put forward by an alcohol abuse task force formed last year that was made up of representatives from the city and both the University and Haskell Indian Nations University. The task force developed a comprehensive plan to combat alcohol abuse and underage drinking, and the ordinances were just a part of the whole plan, he said.
Commissioner Mike Rundle said that though the commission welcomed new ideas to stop underage drinking, the commission was inclined to follow the advice of the alcohol abuse task force.
Commissioner David Dunfield said that the task force's recommendations were based on a simple principle.
"Sometimes it takes a harsh monetary hit to motivate some people," he said.
Henry said that he was disappointed with the commission's decision to approve the ordinances and raise the fines.
"I was hoping the commission would realize that our suggestions were coming from people that these ordinances affect," he said.

Changes alter culture of fraternity living
Fraternity recruitment moves to October
By Lori O'Toole
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Interfraternity Council moved formal recruitment from the traditional mid-August date to Oct. 3 through Oct. 8 in an attempt to generate more interest and greater involvement.
But the change also altered fraternity culture.
Bill Nelson, director of greek programs, said this was the first time in many years that formal recruitment did not take place during the week before classes began.
Since recruitment will not occur until October, men who would have pledged with a fraternity and moved into a chapter house are now living elsewhere under a year-long lease or housing contract.
"The chapters are not accustomed to pledges living out of the chapter houses." Nelson said.
Tim McCabe, Beta Theta Pi member
and St. Louis, Mo. senior, said his chapter would probably not participate in formal recruitment, but that the change would take some getting used to for chapters that do participate.
"It would hurt in a negative way," he said. "I feel it's good having the freshmen live in, get accustomed and meet everyone."
Nelson said the number of men involved in formal recruitment dropped from about 120 in 1992 to about 40 last year.
In addition to the low number of participants, the cost of the process placed an increasingly heavy financial burden on the Interfraternity Council, which Nelson said resulted in disgruntled fraternities.
He said the largest cost was housing the participating men in hotels for about a week since they would not permanently move until they pledged with a chapter house.
Brian Cooper, Interfraternity Council vice president of recruitment, said he hoped that the additional two months before formal recruitment would help out-of-state students have
"This is the beginning of a promotion of a culture for involvement for those who live out and who live in,"
Bill Nelson
Director of greek programs
more time to become better informed about the process and the campus.
Despite the anticipated improvements, Nelson said he was concerned about some of the negative aspects it may introduce.
For example, he said that men may not be willing to join certain fraternities based on stereotypes or perceptions they gain from others.
Ryan Kinsey, Dallas, Texas, freshman, said he would participate in formal recruitment in October. He said he liked the change and would not have participated in formal recruitment if it had been in August.
"I would have felt like I was being rushed into a fraternity that I may not like," he said. "It's quite a big decision."
Kinsey said his only concern with the change was that the houses may fill through informal recruitment.
Nelson said informal recruitment would continue to occur, and that some houses may not need additional members in October.
Nelson said he expected that about six of the 23 fraternities would not participate in the formal recruitment.
Nelson said it would be each chapter's decision whether to add the October pledges to the class that joined during the summer, to the spring pledge class, or to treat the new members as a separate class.
He said that the Interfraternity Council needed to work out the details of the recruitment schedule, but that there would be an alternate night for participants to visit fraternities in order to accommodate those with night classes or other obligations.
Nelson said he hoped about 150 men would participate in recruitment in October.
"This is the beginning of a promotion of a culture for involvement for those who live out and who live in," he said.

Decision supporting gay Scouts may set questionable precedent
Earlier this month, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the Boy Scouts of America could no longer dismiss or exclude gays from its organization. The decision was met with nearly unanimous approval in the gay community but was roundly criticized by others, especially in the religious community.
While on its face this decision seems like a step in the right direction, the New Jersey justices may have set a questionable precedent.
The main thrust of the court's argument in favor of forcing the Scouts to accept gays hinged on the idea that the organization is a "public accommodation" that must be open to all Americans.
This argument just doesn't hold up to
The Boy Scouts is not a public organization and should have autonomy in choosing members.
scrutiny. The Boy Scouts of America is a private organization that is free to determine its own requirements for membership. It raises its own money and is beholden to no one. As such, members rightfully may expect to be able to say who can and cannot become a Boy Scout.
There is a strong American tradition of freedom of association in which people are free to belong to any private group they see fit. This freedom applies even when the majority of citizens disagree with the views of the private group. And, just as free speech allows one not to
speak, freedom of association allows one not to associate with a group they disagree with.
Moreover, forcing the Boy Scouts of America to admit gay Scouts and Scoutmasters will do nothing to address the homophobic attitudes underlying their discriminatory admission policies.
There have been reports in the past week that the Boy Scouts of America may voluntarily drop its ban on gay Scouts so as to prevent future litigation of this sort. Dropping the policy for fear of litigation misses the point. If the decision is ultimately made to welcome gay Scouts, it should be made with the knowledge that homosexuals are members of society just as heterosexuals with the same desires to serve the communities in which they live and work.

Straw poll's only benefit is new voters
The Republican campaign for the presidency has trudged forward since the Iowa Straw Poll that was held Aug. 14, but not without change. Though it may seem that the campaign is just beginning, presidential candidate Lamar Alexander took the poll as his cue to drop out.
The first problem with the Iowa poll is that it is symbolic. It possesses little meaning in the grand scheme of things because of its unscientific nature. The second problem is the carnival atmosphere in which voters are given alluring freebies for their votes. Steve Forbes, beneficiary of an immense inheritance and the ability to buy just about anything — including votes — spent enough money to finish second to front-runner George
The carnival atmosphere and unscientific nature of straw polls makes results vague.
W. Bush, who has amassed enough campaign funds to fill several Iowa barns. With the amount of wealth and name recognition these two candidates possessed, the real race was for third.
The surprise of the weekend was the third-piece finish of Elizabeth Dole. Not only did she turn some heads by placing third, but she also brought out a whole new voting base. College-age women across Iowa came out to support Dole, who is stirring up interest in previously politically
apathetic young women. A network of women from Dole's sorority, Delta Delta Delta, even came out to show their support. Any tool that brings out young, new voters definitely is a positive.
Despite the new voters, the real question is, did the poll really matter? The answer is no. It is far too early to decide this race, and, even though candidates such as Bush and Forbes have large sums of money, they aren't invincible. The race should not be conceded yet, and candidates such as Alexander should not feel compelled to drop out only because they show poorly in straw polls. Candidates and voters alike should remember that the election is still a year away.

Perspective
school year camper cover
OK, so it's not a terribly original thought, but the transition between summer and the rest of the year is much less obvious than it used to be.
It occurred to me last week as I trudged up 14th Street to my very first class of the school year. Summer is over.
Joy of school shopping eases return to classes
Lydia Taylor columnist opinion kansan.com
When we were younger, summer days of unfettered freedom suddenly were replaced by hours trapped inside of dull classrooms with the overwhelming smell of floor wax. Now, devoting your present life to that oh-so-prestigious convenience store job is suddenly replaced with devoting your present life to that oh-so-prestigious ballroom dancing class.
Not much else changes between summer and fall. Sure, your wallet is significantly lighter after a trip to the bookstore. Sure, you (theoretically) have to get up before noon. When you really boll it down, though, there is no difference. One hopeless tedium is replaced with another. Hours of mindless work are replaced with hours of numbing monotony.
Days tend to blur together with no way to distinguish between them. All I know is that I'm tired and it's been a long, long time since I had a chance to take a nap.
Can you remember when you were young, and going back to school was a happy event? Yeah, neither can I. Have my scant 19 years completely ripped away the sense of wonder that everyone possesses when they are small?
For kids, though, the return to school is an exciting time. Last week, I had a conversation with a certain young boy I know who happens to be starting the second grade. All he could talk about was going back to school and how happy he was to do so. Wide-eyed with excitement, he told me about his upcoming school year.
More than anything else, one ritual used to mark a return to books and teachers with sharp pointers and evil eyes. Back in the glory days of elementary school (and to a lesser extent, in
I'll admit that I judge grocery stores on the basis of their school supply aisle. I'll admit that I can't go into a discount store without spending at least five or 10 minutes in its office supplies section. The day during my freshman year when I purchased my very own three-hole punch was a happy day indeed. And not too many things are more intoxicating than the wood smell of a brand-new pencil.
During the summer, I happened to discover that a local discount store was offering 12 cent notebooks. I couldn't resist. I went by, spent a glorious time, bought seven or eight notebooks, even splurged on a Scooby-Doo book. For a brief moment, that child-like innocence had returned.
Postpone your daily trips to the bookstore to see if your anthropology textbooks have come in. (They haven't.) Take a break from your studying, or from your partying, or from setting up the perfect residence hall room. Let's all go get notebooks.
Oh blessed event! How long for erstwhile days of innocence, triumphantly returning home with sacks of paper, pencils, crayons, watercolors, even the requisite box of facial tissue ...
middle school and high school), there was at least something one could count on to ease the abrupt return of the school year: the Great Annual School Supply Shopping Spree.
When you come back victorious with your Trapper Keeper and your pencil pack, maybe just maybe, the studying will seem a bit more interesting. Maybe it will be a little bit easier to wake up in the morning for your classes.
OK, so maybe I was a book-nerd. OK, so I do still have a strange (and possibly unhealthy) fixation with office supplies.
And,hey,you can't beat 12-cent notebooks.
I used to think that I was alone in my obsession with all things paper and ink. Since coming to college, though, I have met many, many other people who share a kinship with me in this, people who also thought they were alone and collected Post-Its in secrecy.

Freshmen, gray hair leave senior feeling her old age
I've walked on campus the last few days, and I've seen thousands of young, fresh faces walking proudly next to me. Sometimes they look a little confused, sometimes a little lost, but nonetheless, they look excited. They are excited about the college years awaiting them and the grown-up experiences they are beginning. I still have this year left — my senior year — my last year of true freedom before

take the next step and join the daily grind of the newspaper business. And while this is exciting in its own right, my outlook as I trek up and down the University of Kansas' Jayhawk Boulevard is different — gloomy in some ways.
The freshmen, all of them, are excited to be here. Awe, independence. I've heard them, and you've heard them, talking about their rooms in the residence halls, wondering where to nick up their foot;
YOUNG WOMAN
Signals of the impending aging process have been in the works for a while. First, one friend got married and then another. Then, one friend moved away and then another. Instead of picturing my life next month, I have started picturing my life five years in advance. Instead of receiving advice about the best bar to drink at underage, my mentors have begun to tell me
They walk around with fire in their eyes and ambition in their hearts. And while I like to think that the emotional side binding me to the University of Kansas hasn't deadened, I'm looking forward to life after college. Yes, I think I'm getting old.
ball tickets or praising their new English 101 instructors. I heard myself say the same things my freshman year.
I have fire in my eyes and ambition in my heart, but it's not about the University. It's about the life I'll be starting in May. That's why I'm getting old. I think I'm going to pull the gray hair sprouting from my head. I hope the freshmen still can recognize me.
What is age exactly? To me, it's more than the number you tack to the end of your name in commas. It's about experiences and living life. Maybe I'm feeling older and ready to move on because I've taken in everything this University has to offer. I walk down the campus sidewalks taking everything in, but not waiting for anything especially spectacular to happen. I guess I've seen it all before.
It also wasn't a problem when another freshman woman stopped me in front of the Union. She said she knew the Spencer Museum of Art was nearby, but she hadn't a clue where. I sent her down the stairs and out the door.
Assisted suicide not answer for unbearable pain
Never before have the freshmen asked me for help. See. I think I'm getting old.
It wasn't a problem when another freshman woman stopped me in the bathroom and asked me where she could pick up her bus pass. For starters, the bathroom definitely isn't the place to retrieve it. I sent her to the Union's sixth floor.

It wasn't a problem when a freshman woman stopped me at the bookstore in the Kansas Union. She was looking for an anthropology book, and her friend was as clueless as she. I helped her and sent her on her way.
My senior standing has made me a target for freshmen seeking advice. Either that, or this group of freshmen is the friendliest so far. The first day of school several freshmen stopped me to ask for help. Do I look as old as I feel? Do I have a sign plastered to my back that says, "Ask me, I know"? I guess I look like I've been here a while.
Feedback
In the Monday, Aug. 23, University Daily Kansan, Erik Goodman for the editorial board argued that suicide and euthanasia should be permitted in this country on the grounds that patients should not be forced to live lives of unbearable pain. Physicians for whom pain control is a special area of competence, such as Dr. Ron
Don Marquis
Professor of Philosophy
Stephens, who is on the palliative care committee at the KU Medical Center, and Dr. Kathleen Foley, who is the palliative care specialist at the Sloan-Kettering Cancer in New York, argue that pain can be controlled in all but possibly rare instances. It is plainly unreasonable to alter the law concerning homicide when the need is slight and the possibility of abuse is great.

Hilltop Daycare Center to get new home
Parents weren't happy with state of old building
By Lori O'Toole
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Ann Cudd takes her 5-year-old son, Alex, to the Hilltop Child Development Center in the morning before heading to work.
Cudd, associate professor of philosophy, said Alex likes playing in the Aqua Room, a kindergarten room where he stays in the center.
Two years ago, he started attending the day care center for the children of students, faculty and staff, located at 1314 Jiahawk Blvd.
Cudd, who is on Hilltop's Board of Directors, said she has grown to love the program's teachers and curriculum.
But she hates the building.
"It's run down, not very well maintained and some of the rooms are dark," she said.
A solution to Cudd's concerns, which mirrors those of other parents and Hilltop employees, is under construction.
In June, workers began moving
ground for a building that will replace the current Hilltop location. It will be between Anschutz Sports Pavilion and Stouffer Place.
The 20,000-square-foot, one-level facility will have a south and an east wing of day care suits. Each classroom will have a bathroom.
The new building will be handicap-accessible, unlike the current three-story building.
Douglas Riat, design and construction management associate director, said the plans encompass phase one the building. He said a second phase could be added in the future if the center needed more classroom space.
Riat said the contractor, Champion Builders of Topeka, began the building's foundation, which is planned to be completed at the beginning of October.
Riat said construction workers would work through the winter in order to prepare for the June 1 completion date.
Warren Corman, university architect, said the project would cost $3.1 million, two-thirds of which will be paid for by a bond issue and a $4-a-semester student fee, which began two years ago.
Hilltop management and the University administration agreed to pay for the remaining third of the

cost
"We're looking forward to a modern building," she said.
She said there would be more playground equipment, and flowers and grass would take the place of the sand, gravel and concrete that had served as landscaping.
Cudd said the new center would allow more children to become involved with the program, which she said is important because of the long waiting list.
She said she placed Alex on the program's waiting list when he was three months old, and he was not accepted until he was three years old.
In addition to Alex, Cudd's two year-old son, Thomas, attends Hilltop. Last year she was concerned for his health when Hilltop experienced a large infestation of cockroaches.
She said Thomas would attend the new center next year.

"I keep thinking about how great it's going to be," Cudd said. "Especially since it's been designed especially as a day care center."

Med Center sponsors school, reveals medical secrets
By Kimberly Erb
The University of Kansas Medical Center is trying to take the mystery out of medicine.
Special to the Kansan
Beginning Sept. 14, the Med Center will present its first Mini Medical School to community members and students seeking a stronger understanding of health care and medical research.
Each Tuesday evening for eight weeks, 220 individuals will hear presentations by Med Center faculty, researchers, teachers and clinicians. Slated topics by a total of 15 speakers range from tobacco use to the reproductive system and from skin cancer to the development of a vaccine against HIV and AIDS.
Mary Beth Gentry, associate dean for external affairs at the Med Center, said the program was designed to present complex medical science in an understandable format for the non-medical population.
"One of the things we think this program is going to do is help us to be better partners with people about their health care," she said.
Jeanne Drisko, assistant professor in the department of obstetrics
As people play an increasingly active role in researching and understanding their own health, the relationships between doctors and patients have progressed into partnerships, Gentry said. The Mini Medical School is geared to strengthen these relationships.
and gynecology, said the program accentuated the public's growing desire to become more knowledgeable about health issues.
"As physicians, we hope that our patients become their own best physicians," she said.
Drisko will be speaking about complementary and alternative medicine.
The Mini Medical School has attracted individuals of all professions and ages. High school and college students, pharmaceutical representatives, bankers, attorneys and homemakers have enrolled.
Upon completion of the course, students should know the basic concepts needed to understand news reports about medical
research, should know how to improve health and should have an understanding of the role research plays in medical practice.
"This will give an overview of what medical students are learning about health and health care and will also give an appreciation of the issues we are dealing with," said S.J. Enna, professor and chairperson of the department of pharmacology, toxicology and therapeutics.
Enna will discuss the benefits and dangers of sedatives and hypnotics.
were eager to provide the service to the community.
"We just want to create a greater awareness of academic medicine's role in the health of Kansans and the country," she said.
Enrollment is full, but there is a waiting list for interested individuals. Tuition is $75, and a limited number of scholarships are available.
Gentry said Med Center faculty

Professor wins national award for research on stereotyping
By Amanda Kashube
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Monica R. Biernat, associate professor of social psychology at the University of Kansas, has received national recognition for her research on social judgment and stereotyping from the American Psychological Association.
Biernat, who is on maternity leave this semester, is one of two winners of the APA's annual Distinguished Scientific Early Career Contribution to Psychology Award in social psychology.
"Since the award came from other psychologists, it was a nice recognition," Biernat said. "Hopefully, it will bring more attention toward teaching research."
The APA presented the awards Friday through Monday at its annual convention in Boston, which Biernat could not attend. Biernat shares the award with a professor from the University of Bristol, United Kingdom.
Greg Simpson, head of the University's psychology department, said he was pleased with Biernat's accomplishments.
in a sense, we are always surprised when someone wins an award," he said. "But we've known about the quality of
her work and the attention her work has gotten through funding from national agencies."
Since coming to the University, Biernat has received research grants exceeding $1.1 million from the National Institute of Mental Health.
Biernat's research on stereotyping and prejudices was conducted on campus through undergraduate psychology experiments during the last five years. She focused mainly on how women and African Americans are evaluated in society.
"Employers tend to have lower standards for them because they have an image of being less competent than white males," she said. "There is a paradoxical pattern that employers are impressed by women and blacks because they don't expect them to do well. But they are also less likely to be promoted."
Biernatal incorporates these themes into her social psychology classes at the University. She said stereotypes tend to sneak up on even the most open-minded thinkers.
"We try to talk about how stereotypes can impact judging people," she said. "Even though much has changed, they continue to exert influence."
Recipients of the award must have held a doctorate degree for less than
nine years. Biernat barely missed the nine-year cutoff for the award by being nominated last year. She earned her doctorate at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1989. She came to the University in 1992 from the University of Florida at Gainesville.
Simpson said Biernat was nominated by a sociology professor at another university and her nomination was then reviewed by a panel before a final decision was made.
"She did it all on her own merit," he said. "We are very pleased that she won such a national, highly competitive award. The department is certainly pleased with the high profile her award has given us."
Nyla Branscombe, associate professor of sociology, said she was happy her colleague received the national award.
"It's wonderful that the world has recognized Monica and her valuable work," she said.
Ironically, Biernat's award for research about the stereotyping of women is shared with a colleague who is male. Biernat said she has not experienced any bias in her field.
"The psychology field has a fairly good representation of women, unlike the engineering or physics," she said

Libraries offer new cards
The new borrower's card,
introduced by
the University of Kansas
libraries on Aug. 1, allows
non-students to use vending
machines and copy
machines in addition to
checking out books.
The new cards are available for $5 a year and may be acquired at Watson Library. The new plastic card is more durable than its paper predecessor and allows borrowers to use the copy machines.
The card is available for those not affiliated with the University and for those who attend other Kansas public schools, such as Kansas State University.
Julia Rholes, assistant dean for information services, said she did not foresee a problem with non-University borrowers intruding on students' and faculty's books.
"People tend to share well," she said. "It would be less of a problem because of the limits on books we impose."
from the Watson Library stacks for six weeks at a time. Now, the libraries have limited checkout to one week, with the option of renewal if no one else has asked for the journal.
In past years, people could check out bound journals
Rholes said this process should make the new borrower's card more efficient for the students, faculty and staff at the University.
"We had a lot of concern that bound journals weren't always on the shelves," she said. "We hope

Another change in library policies that affects the new borrower's card is the number of books a resident can have out at one time.
they are needed."
Rholes said all University-affiliated people could check out as many books as they wanted. But, she said, those with the borrower's card could have only 20 out at a time.
Still, some students are wondering about the availability of books when midterms or finals
approach.
"I can see how people could be concerned, because it is a University library that is meant for students," said Mandy Wilcox, Olathe junior.
Carrie Depenbusch,
Columbus junior, said she
thought the new card could
help others.
"I think it's a good idea, because it will be beneficial to other people who don't have the same facilities as KU," she said.
One problem in the library system that could hinder students and faculty is that the computers do not recognize the difference between the smart card and the borrower's card. Rholes said books would be available on a first-come, firstserve basis.
"Since there are no limits on the number of books KU people can have, it gives a little priority to KU," she said.
Rholes said she thought the card would be a success.
"The library is considered a resource for all citizens of Kansas," she said. "The card is a good value for those who are interested."

Solid power pop CD refreshes Verve Pipe
By Bryan Anderson Kansan music critic
"We were only freshmen." For some of us, especially at a university, this phrase has more significance than others. For the Verve Pipe, not to be confused with the British band The Verve, this phrase is the chorus from its breakthrough hit The Freshman from its third album Villains. For most people, this is all that they know about the boys from Grand Rapids, Mich. Led by vocalist/guitarist Brian Vander Ark and his bass playing brother Brad, the Verve Pipe tries to distance itself from its past runaway hit on
The latest release from the Verve Pipe is a technically sound album. It was produced by Michael Beinhorn, who has worked with such bands as Marilyn Manson, Hole and Soundgarden. The band used its studio time well. Laid down on the rhythm foundation of Vander Ark's bass and Donny Brown's drums, the lead guitar of A.J.
Dunning and the keyboard of Doug Corella sound tight, while the vocal harmonies are equally pleasing.
THE VERVE PIPE
The band lists influences such as the Beatles, the Pixies and Radiohead. As the boys from Michigan try to remove themselves from the trappings of one-hit wonderdom, these influences show.
The Verve Pipe is different from most "modern rock," which is being dominated by various forms of ska and punk, and the new metal of such bands as Korn and the Deftones. The Verve Pipe is an album of good solid power pop.
The first song supergig is an aggressive pop tune that lets the audience know that this album is not going to be The Freshman II. The band delivers fuzzy guitars and scathing lyrics. she loves everybody is another piece of aggressive power pop that showcases all ranges of Vander

The first single and focal point of the album is hero. It is a direct response to The Freshman. The lyrics reflect the guilt of having a big hit with a song written about the suicide of a friend. Vander Ark states simply: "I'm just a jerk/ but a hero's what I want to be." It has an ironically happy sound that is in contrast to
its big hit.
The rest of the album is upbeat rock with an edge. The Verve Pipe throws in the few requisite ballads, all of which are good, but none outstanding. The band also winks solidly at the Beatles on in between and half a mind.
The gem of the second half of the record is generations. The chorus has a Brit-pop.
feel to it, and the lyrics are easily accessible: "Another wakeup with the morning hung over./ we gonna pack up or waste another killer day." It is a sophisticated, well-crafted song and unlike anything it has done before.
All that aside, the band falls short on the track television. This song just does not fit the style of this album. With drum loops, electronic noises and industrial guitars, the Verve Pipe ventures into territory best left to Nine Inch Nails imitators, such as Stabbing Westward.
The Verve Pipe distinguishes itself from its past glories with its latest album. It also distinguishes itself from other modern rock artists with an album that does not sound like anything else being offered to the people right now. Whether or not fans of The Freshman catch on to the new sound is another question.

L7's latest album, *Slap-Happy* will not likely disappoint faithful fans, but gives no reason for anyone previously unimpressed to convert.
Kansan music critic
L7's Slap-Happy does not strike a chord
L7 doesn't attempt to make innovative music in any way. The band is content to be a loud all-girl rock group, with limited musical skills and no real attempts at harmony. L7 keeps up this trend on its sixth album.
Songs such as Crackpot Baby feature lyrics that consist primarily of two and a half minutes of the phrase "crackpot baby at a quarter to three" yelled over grinding guitars. This sounds perfect for the soundtrack of some 1980s horror film with cheap sexual exploitation and a rubber
monster. Lackey sounds remarkably like the score to 1988's cheesy Killer Klowns from Outer Space, complete with a spooky synthesizer moan over the standard guitar grind. Human is perhaps the best horror film song lyric, with the vaguely spooky mantra of "it appears to be human / but it's not." It has an even harder edge than most of the album, and resembles a professional wrestling entrance theme, as do On My Rockin' Machine and War With You. It's easy to imagine someone cracking a skull with a steel chair to most of this album.
Lt does play a little bit with its standard song formula, but nothing extreme. Little One sounds almost rockabilly, and Livin' Large is a slow ballad that even has chorus harmonies.
Experiments such as Freeway, which features what appears to be a drum machine and every bad computer effect available to a band in 1985, are less successful. These effects further marginalize the most gratingly repetitive song.
To be fair, L7 keep songs to a managable 2-3 minute range, smartly ending most songs just before they start to get tiresome.
The penultimate song, Freezer Burn slows things down even more than Livin' Large. The closing Mantra Down is a raucous finish that suggests that the band's sparse lyrics are intended to promote spiritual enlightenment and are not just indicative of laziness in songwriting.
Whether the consistency of L7's work is a mantra-like religious goal or just creative stagnancy isn't definite, but if someone already is part of L7's cult, this album should suit them just fine.
Fall schedules cater to sought-after audience
The Associated Press
NEW YORK—With the fall TV season in sight, you probably have a few ideas about what would make it a good one.
Well, so do the networks as they roll out their 38 new prime-time series.
But while you're thinking, "I'd like more funny comedies," or, "Let's have some gripping new dramas," the networks are thinking about you. Do you have what it takes to make the season a success?
The networks' fall schedules say a lot about the audience they are seeking. Now they need you to be that kind of viewer. Have a look at the list.
is television.
Last month, the NAACP and others condemned the dearth of minority characters on broadcast television. Paraphrasing a famous description of TV as a vast wasteland, the chairman of cable's Black Entertainment Television termed it a vast white land. The networks' subsequent retrofitting of their series with black characters hasn't changed anybody's mind.
Be white.
White performers are overwhelmingly who viewers see, and who they will continue to see this fall.
Adults 35 and beyond may despair that not only is youth wasted on the young, so
Be young.
Young people get to be vampire slayers or witches or (on the WB's new Roswell) good-looking aliens. And when portly, middle-age John Goodman gets creamed by a subway train on ABC's Now and Again, modern science brings him back as a super man.
One other thing: Young people have cornered the market on good sex. For example, an unsatisfied woman leaves her husband on the new ABC sitcom *Then Came You* and rediscovers passion with a lad of 22.
Be a guy.
Be a guy.
Burrrrrrp!!!
Guys belch, they scratch and they love TV. And this season they continue to prosper, whether in packs (such as the three house mates on ABC's Oh Grow Up and the two house mates on NBC's Mike O'Malley Show) or surrounded by females, as is the not-so-lonely guy on CBS' Ladies Man.
TV tells you that if you're a guy, you're absolved from the duty to stay young. Instead, you thrive in a state of arrested development, of adolescent immunity, no matter how old you are.
Even though you're white, young and/or an immature guy doesn't mean you don't have a sensitive side. After sowing your wild oats, TV says, you will rise above lust
Be romantic.
to that state of enlightened lust; romance.
to that state of enlightenment last. Romance. On CBS' Love & Money, a rich girl leaves her boring fliance at the altar to begin a committed relationship with her apartment building's handyman. She lives with her family in the penthouse, he lives in the basement with his father the doorman.
And don't forget Adam, the hero of NBC's Cold Feet. An adorable, Peter Pannish hunk, he is first seen in a state of co-optal bliss with his latest conquest.
Then Shelley walks into Adam's life. Gazing upon her, Adam knows instinctively that She's The One. By then, luckily, he has slammed on the brakes.
Be devout.
Stop thinking of what you watch this fall as shows. The proper word is content. But no matter if the name it goes by is *The X-Files* or *Barney and His Friends*, so-called branded content that succeeds on TV needn't stop there. It can be reconfigured for a feature film or a stage musical, a video game or a beach toy or a magazine.
It starts out one place, then, next thing you know, it's everywhere. Only one thing is required to tie it all together: the brand that won your favor in the first place. It's the culture's new religion.
"There is ample evidence that brands are being mustered into service to fill yawning gaps in our lives that once were the domain of church, family, school." Adweek magazine recently declared.

FBI used flammable tear gas in Waco standoff
Federal agency revokes denial about 1993 event
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—Taking back previous disavowals, the FBI now admits that federal agents fired one or more incendiary tear gas canisters during the 1993 standoff with Branch Davidian cult members in Texas, a federal law enforcement official says.
The agency, however, still maintains it did not start the fire that consumed the Davidians' compound
with leader David Koresh and more than 80 followers inside. The April 19, 1993, inferno ended a 51-day siege by federal agents trying to serve a warrant for Koresh's arrest on firearms and explosive charges.
"The bottom line here continues to be that the Davidians set that fire and that law enforcement did not set that fire," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity Tuesday.
Incendiary devices — believed to be two military tear gas canisters — were fired not at buildings in the Branch Davidian compound, but at a bunker nearby, the official said, adding that they bounced off the bunker's concrete roof and did not enter any structures.
The canisters were fired early in the morning, around 6 a.m., the official added. The fire that destroyed the compound started around noon after federal agents used a tank to punch holes in the compound before pumping in tear gas.
Other tear gas canisters used by federal agents throughout the day were not flammable or potentially explosive, the official said.
Until now, the FBI had maintained it used only nonflammable canisters to get tear gas into the compound because of fears that pyrotechnic grenades might spark a fire in the wooden structure.
However, the FBI reconsidered those assertions this week after Danny Coulson, a former deputy
we're asking of the reports, and we're trying to get to the bottom of it as quickly as we can."
"We're aware of the
Myron Marlin
Justice Department representative
director of the agency, told The Dallas Morning News that potentially flammable tear gas grenades were fired into an underground structure that led to tunnels opening into the compound.
But Coulson, who also was founding commander of the FBI's hostage rescue team, told the newspaper the incendian canisters were fired hours before the blaze began and played no role in starting it.
"We're aware of the reports and we're trying to get to the bottom of it as quickly as we can," Justice Department representative Myron Marlin said Tuesday.
Justice Department officials, including Attorney General Janet Reno, in the past have forcefully denied allegations that flammable devices were used by the FBI during the final standoff at Waco.
Martin called such allegations nonsense when they were raised by a documentary filmmaker in July.
"We know of no evidence to support that any incendiary device was fired into the compound on April 19, 1993." Marlin said.
The issue of whether the FBI used pyrotechnic devices has been a major focus of an ongoing inquiry by the Texas Rangers and a key allegation in a pending wrongful-death lawsuit against the government by surviving Davidians and families of those who died.
The federal government consistently has disputed accusations that the FBI started the fire. Independent investigators concluded the fire began simultaneously in three separate places.
FBI bugs recorded Davidians discussing spreading fuel and planning a fire hours before the compound burned.
Greenspan hikes interest rates in effort to deter rising inflation
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — By nudging up interest rates for the second time this summer, the Federal Reserve signaled that it may stay on the sidelines if there are no new signs of inflation or an overheated economy.
But some economists wonder: Is the Fed through with just two?
The answer lies with what new economic data tells central bankers about the pace of economic growth, which has been brisk, and the prospects for inflation down the road, economists said.
On Tuesday, the Fed boosted two rates by a quarter point, saying its actions should markedly diminish the risk of rising inflation.
Investors hoped that language means the Fed will stop with just two rate hikes. Some analysts said it reduces the odds of another increase this fall. But others think a third rate hike could be in the offing this year, possibly as early as the Fed's next meeting on Oct. 5, if signs of inflation crop up.
"The Fed could easily pull the trigger
again," said Paul Kasriel, chief economist for Northern Trust Co.
Allen Sinai, chief economist at Primark Global Economics, also thinks there could be a third rate hike, possibly in November.
"We think the economy will continue to do quite well and higher inflation on average will appear and push the Fed into one more dose of tightening this year, but it is a close call," said Sinai.
Bernardo Dali
With the nation's unemployment rate down to its lowest level in three decades, employers foraging for workers are wooing them with higher wages and benefits. While that's good news for workers, it's worrisome to the Fed because those increased costs could drive up prices.
Greenspan: Raises interest rates again this summer
Meanwhile, the economy is expected to grow 4 percent this year, a robust pace.
Some analysts suggested that central bankers will wait to see whether the economy slows on its own. David Jones, chief economist at Aubrey G. Lanton & Co. said he thought they will move to the sidelines and evaluate whether their actions are sufficient to cool off growth.
On Tuesday, the Fed increased its target for the federal funds rate, the interest that banks charge on overnight loans, by a quarter point to 5.25 percent. The rate had been boosted — by the same amount — for the first time in two years on June 30.
That triggered a quick quarter-point increase to 8.25 percent by commercial banks in their prime lending rate, the benchmark rate for millions of consumer and business loans.
At the same time, the Fed raised its largely symbolic discount rate, the interest it charges on direct loans to banks, by a quarter point to 4.75 percent.
Fed critics said they were unhappy that the central bank raised interest rates at all.
ics said they were unhappy that the central bank raised interest rates at all. "The Federal Reserve continues to allow their inordinate fear of inflation to put America's strong economy in jeopardy," said Sen. Tomas Karkin, D-Iowa.
Declassified documents might be re-examined
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON— To shine light on America's secret past, government record keepers have worked the past three years to declasify 600 million pages of documents.
Now, because Washington fears that nuclear weapons information has slipped inadvertently from the government's attic, the declassifiers might have to do it again.
Legislation headed for approval in Congress would require all these documents to be re-examined to make sure they don't contain details about the U.S. nuclear arsenal.
Present efforts to lift the veil of government secrecy are driven by an executive order President Clinton signed in 1995. The order instructs federal agencies to open by next April classified records that contain historical material and are more than 25 years old.
In the past three years, more than 600 million pages have been declassified.
Subjects range from the Cold War to Vietnam, POWs to UFOs. Researchers are rewriting history with new information
about the U.S.-Soviet arms race, the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba, a 1973 coup in Chile and covert action around the globe.
Declassification was moving at a fast clip until last year when some lawmakers worried that nuclear secrets still classified under the Atomic Energy Act weren't being properly protected. Sens. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz.; Richard Shelby, R-Ala., chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee; and Bob Smith, I.N.H., wrote to National Security Advisor Sandy Berger saying that in a frenzied attempt to meet the April 2000 deadline, documents containing sensitive nuclear weapons information may have been released or were in danger of being released.
The prospect prompted Congress to pass a law last year that required declassifiers to come up with a plan to scan documents, page-by-page, looking for nuclear material because the records were highly unlikely
— uness the records were highly unlike,
to contain such information.
This year, after a government scientist suspected of passing on nuclear secrets to China was fired for alleged security violations, lawmakers took tougher scrutiny.

Teens feel pressure to make the grade
The Associated Press
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Ashley Mitchell, a 16-year-old junior, isn't feeling pressure to use drugs or have sex as she heads back to school this fall. She's worried about her grades. And that's what she does.
And she's not alone.
A new survey released yesterday by the U.S. Department of Education asked 1,015 teenagers from across the nation to list the top one or two pressures they face. The largest group — 44 percent — cited the pressure to get good grades, and 32 percent said getting into college was among their greatest concerns.
Twenty-nine percent said fitting in was one of the greatest pressures they face, 19 percent listed the pressure to use drugs or alcohol, and 13 percent listed the pressure to be sexually active.
"I'm worrying about my future," said Mitchell, who lives in San Jose.
"That's a lot more important than worrying about whether to drink at a party."
The poll found three-fourths of the high school students said their future looked promising, while two-thirds said their lives were some-what tough.
When given a list of regrets older people often say about their high school years, the majority of students polled rated "should have taken school more seriously" at the ton of the list.
The new poll was released by Secretary of Education Richard Riley during a speech in which he urged business leaders in Silicon Valley to support technology in schools.
"As educators, parents and concerned citizens, it is important for us to listen to what students are telling us about their lives and their aspirations," Riley said.
Oklahoma bus accident kills student, injures 19
The Associated Press
IDABEL, Okla.—A school bus carrying 24 young pupils was hit by a logging truck and knocked on its side yesterday. At least one student was killed and as many as 19 injured.
The name of the dead child was not released.
The bus was carrying children to Forest Grove School, which has 125 students from kindergarten through eighth grade. It was driven by the school's superintendent, Wes Watson.
Oklahoma Highway Patrol spokesman Lt. Stewart Meyer said the bus, heading north, pulled away from a stop sign at the intersection of a state highway and a gravel road into the path of the westbound truck. It was hit in the right rear and knocked onto its side.
The accident occurred in a rural area west of Idabel, Okla. in the state's southeastern corner, about 75 miles northwest of Texarkana.
School board member Mike Davis said 12 children and Watson were taken to McCurtain Memorial Hospital. Watson had a broken hip.
Hospital spokeswoman Trilla Frazier said six children were treated and released, and two others were sent to Wadley Hospital in Texasarka, Texas, with internal injuries.
Francine Francis, a representative for CHRISTUS St. Michael Hospital in Texarkana, said one child was in serious but stable condition there.
Five children ranging in age from 5 to 12 were being treated at East Texas Medical Center in Clarksville, Texas, hospital administrator Terry Cutler said.

Top Serb military official arrested for ethnic cleansing
The Associated Press
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Austrian police arrested the head Bosnian Serb military commander yesterday on U.N. charges of persecuting Bosnian Croats and Muslims in a bloody 1992 ethnic purge, the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal announced.
Talic would be the highest-ranking Serb military official tried by the tribunal, representative Jim Landale said. If convicted, he would face a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
Gen. Momir Talic, chief of staff of the Bosnian Serb army, was charged in a sealed indictment with crimes against humanity, namely persecutions on political, racial or religious grounds, tribunal chief prosecutor Louise Arbour told reporters in The Hague.

Austrian authorities made the arrest yesterday morning after being tipped off by the tribunal that Talic was attending a conference at the Austrian defense academy on
how to merge Bosnian Serb forces and forces from the Muslim-Croat federation into a national army.
The indictment, which also charges former Bosnian Serb deputy prime minister Radislav Brdjanin, accuses the two of ordering, implementing and assisting a plan designed to expel the Bosnian Muslim, Bosnian Croat and other non-Serb populations. Brdjanin was arrested July 6 and is in the tri-
bunal's custody.
The two men are charged with leading a campaign aimed at driving 100,000 non-Serbs from the Prijedor and Sanski Most regions of northwest Bosnia. Tribunal prosecutors allege that Serb forces under the command of Talic and Brdjanian terrorized Muslims and Croats into fleeing those areas, and that those who didn't leave were driven out by force. Hundreds were killed.
Talic was a leading military commander during the Bosnian conflict.
Talcic's indictment had been kept secret to give authorities a chance to arrest him, the tribunal said. It said it would unseal the indictment and made details public yesterday or today.
A representative for the Austrian National Defense Academy said that Talic had flown to Vienna on Tuesday aboard a plane belonging to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and entered the country unhindered.
Talcic was expected to be extradited to The Hague later today.
Yeltsin, Chinese continue talks
BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan President Boris Yeltsin met his Chinese counterpart Jiang Zemin yesterday, and the Russian leader renewed his call for the two giant nations to work together to build a "multi-polar world."
The Associated Press
Yeltsin and Jiang held one-on-one talks prior to the start of a fivemation summit in the Central Asian nation of Kyrgyzstan. The talks are aimed at improving stability along China's lengthy border with Russia and three former Soviet republics.
After decades of tension between Moscow and Beijing during the Cold War, relations have warmed considerably in this decade, and the leaders of the two countries meet regularly.
"The meeting between Boris
Yeltsin and Jiang Zemin took place in a very warm and friendly atmosphere," said Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov. "Our relations are now at a peak and that meets the interests of both nations as well as the interests of regional and international stability."
"Russia, China and other nations stand for a multi-polar world, that is, a world in which the interests of all nations are heard," Ivanov said. "There have been attempts to enforce another world order — a unipolar or bipolar one. Russia is staunchly against that."
Whenever Yeltsin meets top Chinese officials, he calls for strengthening their ties as part of an effort to counterbalance U.S. clout in global affairs.
While China also has welcomed the
Meanwhile, the five-nation summit, which also involves Kyrgyzstan, Kazakstan and Tajikistan, was the fourth such meeting since April 1996, when the leaders first met in Shanghai, China, and agreed on a series of confidence-building measures along the border.
improved relations with Russia, it has not gone so far as to proclaim it a partnership designed to limit U.S. influence.
"We have done a lot in the past," Yeltsin said. "I think this meeting will be effective and will bring good results."
Under agreements reached in Shanghai in 1996 and in Moscow in 1997, Russia, China and the three Central Asian republics have limited military activities along the frontier.

Jayhawks to score big money
By Mike Miller
By Mike Miller sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Kansas will have a lucrative day Saturday, even if its football team doesn't win.
For playing in the Eddie Robinson Classic against Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind., the Kansas football team benefited by having two extra weeks of practice and national television exposure — which can only help Terry Allen's football team.
"It's never gonna hurt us unless we lay an egg," Allen said.
But the thing that made the game really attractive to Kansas was the money involved — almost $1 million for the school — more than twice the amount Kansas received for playing Florida State in 1993.
"It's a minimum of $600,000, but it's going to be more like $800,000 to $1 million dollars," said Richard Konzem, associate athletics director.
Projected profits from first game

Penn State University $1,000,000
University of Missouri $600,000
Louisiana Tech $600,000
Oklahoma University $600,000
Richard Bachroan / KANSAN
The $600,000 minimum is guaranteed to the school. The real money comes from 30 percent of the total game revenue: ticket sales, concessions, parking, television revenue and other money-making opportunities. The $1 million is
projected from figures obtained from last year's games and will not be known for certain until late September.
Subtracting the $90,000 in team travel expenses, the school will reap a financial windfall that makes playing an extra game worthwhile.
At least financially.
For Allen, his main concern lies both in the outcome of the game and how the Javhawks play.
"If we go in and get beat by 70 points, it's not going to look good because you've embarrassed yourself. But if you have a good showing or win, then it gets some good national recognition for your players," he said.
That national recognition Kansas gets could help Allen in training, and it appeals to the Kansas players themselves.
toulton Kansas gets out help Allen im- recruiting, and it appeals to the Kansas players themselves. "It's something you dream of," said wide receiver Termaine Fulton. "Playing at Notre Dame the first game of the season at their house. We're gonna give a lot of people out there a great show."

Newcomers bring flavor to team

Kansas sportswriter
When the Jayhawk volleyball team began practicing three weeks ago, the team boasted six newcomers. As it stands now, they'll have to settle with five.
The Jayhawks, 15-17 a year ago, welcomed six new players to the team this year, but an injury has already claimed one.
Amy Billings, a freshman who was to see significant playing time at the setter position, broke her right kneeep during practice Aug. 10. Her status for this season is still in doubt.
That leaves the Jayhawks with five available newcomers on their roster heading into the season opener Sept. 1 against Missouri-Kansas City at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Even so, those newcomers look to make an impact.
"They all bring something that I think can enable our team," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "They are going to bring a new dimension to our team and somewhat of a different flavor."
So far in practice, newcomer Sara Kidd, a junior transfer from James Madison, said that the new players and the 10 returning players had responded well to each other.
The returners have been very welcoming to us and made us feel right at home," said Kidd, an outside hitter who ranked second in the Colonial Athletic Association with 330 digs last season.
Danielle Geronymo, who last season was a NJCAA All-American at Barton County Community College in Great Bend, agreed.
"We had a great connection right away," said Geronomy, an outside hitter and middle blocker who holds two Barton County single-season records.
The team's remaining newcomers are Kyle Thomas, a freshman middle blocker from Sutherland, Nebraska; Jamie Morningstar, a freshman defensive specialist from Lawrence's Free State High School, and Jennifer Kraft, a freshman defensive specialist from Saratoga, Calf.
Thomas earned first team Division I all-state honors last season en route to breaking seven school records, while Morningstar led her team last season in kills (303) and digs (164).
Kraft, who led her high school team to back-to-back state championships in 1997 and 1998, was originally going to be a redshirt, but may play this season after all, Bechard said.
Kristi Kiyabu, a senior who is a returning starter at the defensive specialist position, said the newcomers would play a significant role for this year's team.
"I think everyone that came in is working their (tails) off, and it's pushing everybody else," Kiyabu said. Bechard, beginning his second year as coach of the Jayhawks, agreed.
"I think everybody is in full support of each other, and we hope that continues when playing time is starting to be dished out," he said. "Early on comments were that everybody was excited about the different personalities on our team and how they were all trying to contribute to what we're doing in a positive way."

Award not enough for Chenowith
By Matt Tait
Kansas Jayhawk center not satisfied by receiving preseason accolade
By Matt Tait

sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Earlier this summer, Kansas center Eric Chenowith was selected to Playboy Magazine's pre-season All-America team, an honor he was quite proud of. At the same time, however, Chenowith was reluctant for the selection to have any real meaning.
Amidst the college football world's Heisman Trophy hype and preseason promises and predictions, college basketball is conducting a version of the same.
"It's the best honor I've gotten for now, other than honorable mention All-American last season," he said. "But I don't want to get satisfied with that—it's all preseason."
that -- it's an proclamation. Chenowith joined Big 12 Conference players Texas center Chris Mihm and Oklahoma forward Eduardo Najera on the team, and said that hanging out with those guys and others who were selected was a summer highlight.
"That was a first class weekend," he said.
said. Other summer highlights for Chenowith included those of a normal
college student. He hung out with friends back home in California, played lots of basketball, went to the beach and went to Dave Matthews Band concerts, eight of them to be exact.
Listed at 7 feet and 235 pounds, Chenowith said he was in really good shape and has worked all summer to get there. During the summer he lifted weights four days a week, ran long distance two days a week and shot in gym nearly every day.
Chenwith, a junior, joins the ranks of upperclassman this season and he said that the honor of being selected to Playboy's team has motivated him to work harder in the off season.
His weight lifting focused mainly on his upper body and his distance running was done in hopes that he would retain his quickness and stamina.
Specifically what he worked on was developing a jump hook shot from the block. He and a coach of his made a pact that he would have to make 25 every day, which he did.
Along with the jump hook, Chenowith has focused his off season work on getting to the basket more from the perimeter, getting stronger and preparing to become more of a leader on the team.
"I like the shot a lot," he said. "I wasn't a big fan of it when I came here because I thought it took you out of rebounding position."

T. J. Pugh
Although Pugh said the role of team leader was not something he and the other seniors from a year ago talked about with the underclassmen, he anticipates the system working as usual.
"He'll be a very good leader," Pugh said. "He learned to lead by example, and he's learning to be more vocal."
T. J. Pugh, who graduated last May, said that he thinks Chenowith will have no problem becoming a leader.
"The older you get in the system the more natural a leader you'll become," Pugh said.
Chenowith said he understands that and is ready and willing to embrace the role.
"Towards the end of last year we hinted as to who would need to step up," Chenowith said. "I am an upper-classman now, and I think I'm going to become more of leader this year."
Being selected as a member of Playboy's preseason All-American team is a good start.

Fighting Irish should be wary of improved Kansas football
Call it the department store escalator effect.
While Notre Dame's football program is headed down toward the basement of college football, the Kansas Jayhawks continue to ascend.
It's the Fighting Irish, after all, who recently have run up a rap sheet uglier than alumni Regis Philbin's toupee. Point shaving and illegal contact with boosters are two of many illegal charges confronting Notre Dame into
the next millennium.
Michael T.
Rigg
columnist
email@kansan.com
These allegations are on the brink of making Notre Dame's once-proud program into history. This is just one of the reasons why Kansas can not only stay competitive on Saturday, but will pull of the biggest upset in the school's 109-year football history.
Jayhawk fans, be
Kansas boasts the most improved linebacker corps in the Big 12, and the Irish questionable offensive line and two nonname running backs may not be enough to keep the Jayhawks off of Jackson's back.
sure to wave at the Irish as you pass them on the way up to South Bend, Ind. On paper, all signs point to a Notre Dame victory.
The 1999 Irish feature quarterback Jarius Jackson and littie else. Their offensive line features four new starters, and coach Bob Davie has elected to go with two inexperienced guys named Tony at running back, platooning junior Tony Driver with sophomore Tony Fisher.
The question marks for the Irish also linger on the defensive side of the ball, as Notre Dame lost five standout starters from last season's unit. The Jayhawks' receivers are too strong for an inexperienced defense to hold down, while the quarterback competition has improved both Zac Wegner and Dylen Smith immensely.
Of course, this is in complete contrast to earlier times when Irish greats such as Tony Rice, Rick Mirer, Ron Powlus and Raghib "Rocket" Ismail left South Bend and went on to "illustious" pro careers. Last time I checked, Mirer and Ismail were overrated backups, while the last time I saw Rice and Powlus, they were collecting my garbage. Also, Notre Dame missed a bowl in 1996 for the first time in 10 years and have put together two unconvincing seasons since then.
The Irish, after all, have won 11 National Championships, boasted seven Heisman Trophy winners, are in possession of the nation's only premiere television contract, and, until recently, had a reputation as golden as the dome on which their campus is centered.
But that was then. This is now.
The Irish have fallen on hard times since their glory days of the early 1990s (which, coincidentally, ended with a clipping penalty in the 1991 Orange Bowl) and are looking to regain its place among college football's elite. They can't. The program's too overrated, the boosters are too corrupt, the movies about the school are too b-qualify, and, after Saturday's Kansas upset, the team will have fallen too far.
I'm not saying that Kansas has the better team or the better program. But you have to like the way they match up against the Irish. The 1999 Kansas Jayhawks are too determined and not intimidated enough to lose to the Irish during this improbable bowl season.
Kansas 31, Notre Dame 28.
Kansas wins again Bizarre, indeed.

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 7.
Somebody who cares very much is watching today. You may get a creepy feeling. Actually, this person probably means well; it's just that you like to be left alone. You're not much on touchy-feely friendships, so somebody who's over attentive could get on your nerves. Don't snap.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
Gemini: Today is an 8.
It may be hard to see how much you've accomplished over the past few weeks, but it's most likely been a lot. There's still something to deal with that might start you. It's something more expensive than you'd planned. Don't worry. Doing without it it probably good for you.
This is a good day to draw up your lesson plan. Even if you're not a teacher, it doesn't hurt to know what you are going to do next. A plan helps you get from here to there with grace and ease. Today you'll LOVE writing. You might pop out a short story, too.
Cancer: Today is a 5.
Your day's looking brighter, and your sweetheart's most likely in a better mood, too. That doesn't mean the day will be a snap or that everything will go according to it. It's just that, well, you won't care quite as much if it doesn't.
Leo: Today is a 6.
If you were to get what you want, how much would it be? In dollars and cents? You won't get money by winning the lottery, although that would certainly be nice. No, this money looks like funding to create something you've been dreaming about.
Virgo: Today is a 8.
Today, your hassles aren't like the ones you had yesterday. These are more emotional than technical And, in some ways, that's more difficult. You know the technical difficulties can be solved. It's just a question of reading the manual. But, where's the manual on relationships?
Libra: Today is a 7.

U.S. track star Jones may be out for year
SEVILLE, Spain — The World Championships are over for Marion Jones. The rest of the season could be in jeopardy, too.
Track and field's most high-profile women's athlete crumbled onto the track in agony last night, with serious back spasms and cramps.
As she fell during a semifinal heat of the 200 meters, a hush came over the crowd of 38,633 at Olympic Stadium.
Jones went down about 50 meters from the finish, clutching her lower back with her left hand, her face contorted in pain. From a sitting position, she rolled onto her back and was motionless before two doctors rushed to her aid.
She was placed on a gurney and rolled into the medical area. Her husband, C.J. Hunter, came down from the stands after slapping the air in anger about the injury.
Doctors worked on Jones at the stadium for about 2 1/2 hours, before she walked out slowly under her own power without speaking to the media. Plans to take her to a hospital were scrapped and she returned to her hotel, asking not to be disturbed.

Wizards sign Richmond to $40 million deal
WASHINGTON — For much of the summer, Mitch Richard's future seemed to lie almost anywhere but Washington. That changed Tuesday as he signed a four-year, $40-million contract with the Wizards to become the highest-paid shooting guard in the NBA.
"Hopefully my jersey is washed, Richmond joked to assistant equipment manager Jerry Walter after he returned to the MCI Center.
The Wizards and Richmond's agent reached agreement last week after stalled negotiations, which puts Richmond ahead of shooting guards Reggie Miller, Kobe Bryant, Latrell Sprewell and Ray Allen — each of whom will make about $9 million this season.
"What can you say?" Richmond said. "I thought that I played a lot of years in this league. You never know when it's going to come, but you want to keep playing and let things handle themselves."
Last season, Richmond's first with the Wizards, the 34-year-old guard led the team in scoring, averaging 19.7 points a game.
This season, Richmond predicts a turnaround.
But that scoring average was also the lowest of Richmond's career. The team had a rocky season, finishing 18-32 and without a shot at the playoffs.
"I felt we were a playoff-caliber team last year, but things didn't go our way," Richmond said.
"This year definitely I think we'll be a lot better team. I think we are a plavoff team."

Pot of gold raked in from Irish game
Continued from page 1B
The last time Kansas put on a great show in a game where they made money was the 1995 Aloha Bowl. It won that game 51-30 against UCLA, but, unlike a preseason game, the money wasn't quite the same.
"The Aloha Bowl is more of a break-even type of deal," Konzem said. "You have plane fare and then you have to split the money with other Big 12 schools. In the end, you basically break even."
Which makes a preseason game all the more attractive.
The money from Saturday's game doesn't have to be split with any other Big 12 Conference school, allowing Kansas to use the money on a new speed and strength room.
The guaranteed money is comparable to what other schools will be making Saturday, even if their football programs are better established.

Women's basketball forward glad to be a Jayhawk
Spencer nearly missed chance to play at Kansas
By Melinda Weaver
sports@kansan.com
kansaswriters sport
Sharonne Spencer, women's basketball freshman forward, did not have the typical recruiting opportunities provided to high school athletes by their coaches.
Instead of working with her coaching staff at Compton (Calif.) High School, her mother, Alzera Cowen, had to make the recruiting calls because of problems with Spencer's high school coach.
When universities tried to contact Spencer through her coach, the coach would dismiss the calls, telling the recruiters that Spencer was committed to Long Beach
State, even though Spencer had little intention of committing to that school.
In the end, Kansas was one of the few opportunities she had left, but it appeared to be the right one.
"Kansas stayed persistent and kept contacting me." Spencer said. "I got to know the coaches, and I felt comfortable around them. When I went on the recruiting trip, I got that gut feeling as soon as I got off the plane. I knew this was where I was supposed to go."
program.
Lawrence is a big change from her home in the Los Angeles area, but the program and the people she had met made her feel comfortable, which Spencer said was an important factor.
"I am one of people who will not open up or talk unless I feel comfortable around you," Spencer said. "It was very important for me to be comfortable around the people in this
"Coach Washington is like a mother. She is always checking to see if I am doing well. She can't take the place of my mother, but I feel safe here."
In addition to being comfortable with the system, Spencer has skills that will help improve the program in the future.
Nike All-American in 1997.
"She was one of the top high school seniors in the country," said Coach Marian Washington. "She has great size and is an outstanding athlete. She also has a great attitude and really wants to be successful."
Spencer, who earned All-California Interscholastic Federation honors in 1998 and 1999, averaged 14 points, 13 rebounds, five blocks, four steals and four assists per game her senior year.
She also was named to the All-San Gabriel League first team three times and was a
However, Spencer will not see action with the team this season because she is a partial academic qualifier.
She scored just below the required athletic SAT score and must sit out a season as a result.
Spencer said she always has had trouble in school and saw basketball as a way to keep her involved in her school work.
"In the fifth grade, I wasn't really a problem child, but I had problems that were reflected in class," Spencer said. "I got bad grades. One day, I was at recess, bouncing a basketball with both hands, and a teacher's assistant came up to me to teach me how to dribble with one hand. I had never even heard of basketball at that time."
Her teacher's assistant continued to teach her basketball basics until she became pretty good, and then, he began to
talk to her about school.
"He asked me if I like basketball and wanted to play it in junior high," Spencer said. "I told him that I did, and he said that I couldn't play without good grades. That really turned me around."
Since the fifth grade, she has worked hard to develop a strong work ethic and good shot.
"I have a very basic style," Spencer said. "I try to hustle and be a team player."
These are skills she said she hoped would help her prove herself to the rest of the team in the future.
"I feel like she is going to be a real contributor," Washington said. "By sitting out a year, she can learn the system, and by the time she is ready to play, she will be more comfortable than most freshman in their first season."

Soccer team aims for tourney
Cynthia Dahle has played through three frustrating years on the Kansas soccer team.
As a freshman, Dahle led the Jayhawks with six goals but watched as her team narrowly missed the inaugural Big 12 Conference tournament, finishing in seventh place. Then-Jayhawk coach Lori Walker left for Ohio State, leaving the program without a coach.
Enter Dan Magner. He couldn't turn the program around in two years, and the soccer team hit an all-time low last year, finishing dead last in the Big 12, and scoring an embarrassing low — 19 goals in 18 games.
Now at the helm is Mark Francis
18-3-1. No joke. That's a difference of 16 wins.
"I can't put it into words," Dahle said.
"For myself, Betsy (Pollard) and Lindsey Loeffler, it would mean a lot. We've been through three coaches. We were recruited by a coach we loved, then we went through two years of frustration with Dan, and now I'm really excited to play for Coach Francis."
Now at the helm is mark Francis.
Jayhawk soccer begins its fifth campaign tomorrow with a home match against Colorado. Dahle, the all-time Kansas leader in points with 21, told me yesterday that the Jayhawks would be in San Antonio for this year's Big 12 tournament. Guaranteed. And with this year’s field being expanded to eight teams, there is no reason whatsoever Kansas should not be a part of the field.
Who wouldn't be? Francis, a 34-year-old London native, has known nothing but success. He was an All-America soccer player at Southern Methodist. He inherited a depleted roster in 1996 for the women's soccer team at South Alabama, and the team went 2-17 that year. The next year, the Jaguars were
Now he's at Kansas, and Mark, you are no longer in the Big South, but I don't need to tell you that, do I? You will get three dates with national powers. Baylor, Texas A&M and Nebraska will

be tough to hang with. Other than those three teams, the rest of the Big 12 is beatable. Oklahoma and Oklahoma State were unimpressive last year, as were Texas Tech and Texas. Iowa State plays well in conference games, but are very beatable. You have a squad that defeated
Brad Hallier columnist
sports @kansan.com
Missouri last year and Colorado's goalkeeper was the only thing they had gone for them last year. Expectations are high for this team in these parts, and your team should not only qualify for San Antonio, but qualify comfortably.
But how will you guide this team to San Antonio, and can you qualify easily?
"That's a good question. We have established a part of that with our work ethic on a daily basis," he said. "We have been playing at a level that we duplicate on game day, which was one of our keys to success in the spring."
"Conference games mean a little more, but I don't know how we stack up with the other teams," Francis said.
"We have a good test Friday. The games we prepare for are the conference ones."
He was rewarded by being named the Central Region Coach of the Year by Soccer Buzz, and was also named Big South Coach of the Year. He received the Big South honor again in 1998, guiding South Alabama to a 13-5 record.
That spring season was an undefeated 7-0-1 record. But Francis knows that Kansas will not likely go undefeated in the fall season. And there are a few questions marks surrounding the soccer team. One is the goalkeeper position. Pollard has spent the last two seasons as the third-string goalie, but is number one this year. She has never started a game at Kansas, thus essentially making her a freshman in experience. And then who's going to score? There are plenty of candidates for the job, including Melanie Schroeder, Lindsey Horner, Colleen Colvin, Johanna Larsson and transfer Hilla Rantala. Rantala was a proven goal scorer at South Alabama, but if she starts putting balls in the net here, who's going to pick up the slack when she gets double teamed?
All is not perfect for Kansas soccer. But the talent is there. Kansas was not a last-place team last year. But the time is now to qualify for the Big 12 tournament. And if Francis can take this team to Texas this year and start building a foundation, I think Jayhawk soccer, given the University's location and being in a big-name conference, can even be in the NCAA tournament within three years.

Just a few years ago nobody would have expected this.
Seven years ago, many Big 12 Conference schools, including Kansas, did not even have varsity soccer teams. The conference didn't exist yet. Now, as the Big 12 enters a fourth year of play, it stands as one of the most prominent conferences in the country.
The Big 12 boasts 11 teams — Kansas State being the only conference school without a team — and three enter the 1999 season ranked in the nation's top 20. Three others, including Kansas, have received national recognition for solid recruiting classes.
The race for the regular season title will be a dogfight as reigning conference champion Baylor looks to defend its title. The Bears, ranked 19th in the Soccer Buzz preseason poll, boast a new head coach in Nick Cowell. Cowell will attempt to maintain Baylor's status as a conference power with the help of junior forward Courtney Saunders, who was an all-Big 12 selection last year.
A strike against Baylor will be the loss of senior Molly Cameron, who will miss the entire season because of an injured knee.
Attempting to dethrone Baylor will be Nebraska and Texas A&M. The Aggies, ranked 15th, finished third in the conference last year. Texas A&M Improved its schedule, by adding games against No. 3 Notre Dame and No. 13 Vanderbilt.
The team looking to make the strongest run at Baylor is Nebraska. The Cornhuskers boast a preseason No. 5 ranking and have added the nation's 11th-best recruiting class.
Nebraska finished in the top 10 each of the last four seasons and looks to do the same this year. The 'Huskers win with their defense, which is led by preseason All-Americans
sarrotta Nonen at defender and Isabelle Morneau in the midfield.
Oklahoma State returns three of its top four scorers from last year's squad. Colorado returns 16 players from last year's roster, but lost goalkeeper Sloane Cox, a second-team all Big 12 selection last year.
The middle of the conference is where the race gets tricky. Six teams will battle for the remaining tournament berths. Along with the Jayhawks, Missouri, Iowa State and Texas will make up the conference's middle ground.
The Longhorns, Tigers and Cyclones finished fourth, fifth and sixth respectively last season. Texas face-lifted its program with the addition of a new coach, new players and a new playing facility.
The Tigers builts their first senior class as the program enters its fourth year of existence. Headling the roster is junior Nikki Thole, who led the team in offense last year. Also returning is senior Erin Grimsley, who set a school record for assists last season.
Iowa State finished sixth in the conference last year, but added the fifth-best recruiting class in the Midwest, headlined by freshman Annie Henley, who scored two goals in her exhibition debut against Truman State this week.
the wild card in the Big 12 is Kansas.
With the nation's 24th-best recruiting class, headlined by junior transfer Hilla Rantala, Kansas may shock the conference. Rantala, who scored 27 goals in the past two seasons at South Alabama, will add power to the Kansas offense. The Jayhawks also return a solid defense, which held Nebraska and Baylor to one goal each in 1-0 defeats last year.
“It’s not going to be easy but I would say that we need to keep an eye on Kansas,” Texas Tech coach Felix Oskam said. “I think they might be the Cinderella this year.”

Cross country star trains to be Olympic triathlete
By Rebecca Barlow sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Sara Brinkley has accomplished a lot since her running career began at age 7. She has excelled not only at running cross country, but also in her triathlon training.
For the last five summers Brinkley, Winfield sophomore, has spent her time at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., training for triathlons.
Only three men and three women are selected to attend the training session. Brinkley, who has been competing in triathlons for more than 12 years, spent six weeks this summer at the center. During the years, Brinkley has developed several friendships training in Colorado.
Brinkley is a four-time member of the Junior National Triathlon Team and now is a member of the Collegiate National Triathlon Team. She finished 25th and was the top American finisher at the 1998 World Junior Triathlon Championships in Switzerland.
"I look forward to it, it's a motivational thing," Brinkley said. "Most of the people on the team I have been racing with for years. I get to see old friends."
100 Meters
Brinkley started her winning ways at age 10 by becoming the Iron Kids national champion. While in high school she was a four-time all-conference, all-regional and all-state selection in cross country at Winfield High School. She also won the Kansas State Championships twice as an individual.
Brinkley said that triathlons were the reason she started running and she likes it the most. But she got her start on the cross country fields.
One reason Brinkley chose to attend Kansas is because Gary Schwartz, the Jayhawks cross country and track and field coach, told her he would be flexible with her triathlon schedule and training.
Brinkley said she used cross country as a way stay fit and get in shape. Although cross country isn't her primary sport, she's still pretty good at it.
Last season Brinkley proved herself to be a helpful addition to Kansas' team. She finished either first or second on the team in all five cross country meets.
Brinkley feels she is ready mentally for this season, but not physically. She had to take some time off this summer because of a knee injury.

"I'm not exactly where I would like to be right
now, but I'm getting there." Brinkley said. "It's going to be rough, but I'm sure by the end of the season I will be happy with how I am doing."
Brinkley's main goal this season is to be a stronger and faster runner then she was last season.
Theo Hamilton, Kansas track and field assistant coach, has noticed the qualities that she has brought to the team.
"What I have seen, she brings a lot of leadership and is going to be looked upon as one of the top runners this year," Hamilton said. "She works very hard."
In the future Brinkley hopes to continue seeing on the Collegiate Triathlon team while she is in college. After college she hopes to compete in triathlons professionally and go to the 2004 Olympics.

Haskins steps down at UTEP
Breaking color line highlights long career
The Associated Press
EL PASO, Texas — Don Haskins left one indelible mark on college basketball.
The Hall of Fame coach, with 719 victories, took his team to the NCAA tournament 14 times. He brought home seven Western Athletic Conference championships.
But Haskins, who stepped down Tuesday after 38 years in charge of the Texas-El Paso basketball team, will be remembered for a bigger accomplishment.
At first, the decision meant a lot of hate mail for Haskins. But during the years, he would be revered as the man who broke down the color barrier in college sports.
On March 19, 1966, he led the Miners to the NCAA championship, and he started five black players — a first in the title game. Texas Western, as UTEP was known, upset the all-white, top-ranked Kentucky Wildcats 72-65.
"When he was able to win that national championship against Adolf Rupp's all-white team, it changed the look of the game forever," said Oklahoma State's Eddie Sutton, who has coached college basketball for 29 years.
Haskins went on to finish with a 719-353 career record, putting him 10th on the victory list of college coaches. He remains the only men's basketball coach to bring a national title home to Texas.
Haskins also coached UTEP to a shocking 66-60 victory against the top-seeded Kansas Jayhawks in a 1992 Midwest Regional second-round game.
Now, after spending more than half his life coaching the Miners, Haskins says it's time.
The 69-year-old, known affectionately to UTEP fans as "The Bear" for his burly physique, says he's grateful for all his years at UTEP.
"How many people have been somewhere 38 years and be happy? Not many," he said in announcing his retirement at the Don Haskins Center, the arena renamed for him in 1997.
"That's a miracle," added his wife, Marv. seated beside him.
His wife was misty-eyed throughout the announcement, but Haskins retained a sense of humor.
When asked whether he has any regrets, he looked up, smiled and said, "A hell of a lot. We haven't got time."
UTEP athletic director Bob Stull said a search will begin right away for a new coach. "We're going to do a national search and try and find a coach that can replace a legend," Stull said.
Haskins made it clear it was his decision to leave, and he's not being forced out. The university will pay his salary for next year.
Sampras, Hingis top seeds at Open

NEW YORK—In the 1999 ATP Tour Player Guide, nothing stands between Pete Sampras and young Marat Safin. They are on opposite pages, their faces staring at each other.
Now, they'll be staring at each other across the net at the U.S. Open, where Safin could provide problems for the top-seeded Sampras in his bid for a record-breaking 13th Grand Slam tournament men's singles title.
The 19-year-old Russian was drawn yesterday to be Sampras' first hurdle as the year's final Grand Slam event begins its two-week run Monday at the National Tennis Center.

won the last two men's singles on the hard courts at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Seeded fourth this year, Rafter also will have his hands full with his first opponent, Cedric Pioline of France. Pioline reached the U.S. Open final in 1993 and the Wimbledon title match in 1997.
Seeded No.2 on the men's side is
Andre Agassi, winner of the French Open in June and runner-up to Sampras at Wimbledon. He will begin the chase for his second U.S. Open crown against Sweden's Nicklas Kultt.
Sampras, 28, is the No.1 seed at the U.S. Open for a fifth time, tying the Open Era record of John McEnroe from 1981-85. And Sampras is seeking to break the record he shares with former Australian star Roy Emerson for most Grand Slam men's singles titles. He tied Emerson in July when he won his sixth Wimbledon crown.
Third-seeded Yevgeny Kafelnikov, Safin's Davis Cup teammate who won the Australian Open in January, will take on Alberto Martin of Spain in his opener.
Sampras and Agassi are seeded to meet in the U.S. Open final, which would be the third time in America's premier tennis tournament. They also met in the Wimbledon final in July and in the Australian Open title match in 1995. Agassi won Down Under, with Sampras capturing the other three meetings with a Grand Slam title on the line.

NFL
"Don't waste the time," club president Dean Spanos said when asked what the team would do if Leaf
asked to be dealt. "It's not even a question. They know it's not in the cards. It's not going to happen. We'd take a $7 million hit."
Chargers coach Mike Riley confirmed a published report that the troubled second-year quarterback will ask for a trade if the team puts him on injured reserve, which would end his season before it starts.
"He was just frustrated and mad." Riley said. "It was just like that: I'm going to be ready to play. If I can't play, I want to be traded. I guess I didn't feel threatened, because a trade is not going to happen anyway."
Leaf sustained a tear in his right shoulder and underwent surgery July 26 to repair it. The Chargers said then that Leaf would be out for 3-4 months, and didn't know if there would be an available roster spot for him.
Although he'd at best be the third stringer, Leaf keeps saying he feels he'll be ready to play in October.
Leaf's prorated signing bonus would count $7.5 million against this year's cap, which is approximately $75.3 million.
Saints
It was not a good day for the New Orleans Saints. Rookie running back Ricky Williams was lost for at least one game and Joe Johnson is gone for the season.
Williams, the Heisman Trophy winner for whom the Saints traded all their 1999 draft picks to Washington to get in their backfield, has a slow-healing left-ankle sprain. It will keep him out of
Saturday's exhibition game against Green Bay, but he is expected to be ready for the regular season.
The injury occurred during the first exhibition game against Miami on Aug. 13.
Johnson, a Pro Bowl defensive end, ruptured a tendon in his right knee during a line drill, apparently without contact. He comes off a seven-sack season.
William Roaf, a five-time Pro Bowler, sprained his left knee and ankle when players landed on his leg in a pileup. He was helped off the field, and he will miss the Green Bay exhibition game.
Dolphins
Rookie defensive end Dimitrius Underwood, who walked out on the Minnesota Vikings to pursue his faith, now appears ready to play for Miami.
Underwood met with Dolphins coach Jimmy Johnson and agreed to report for practice Monday.
"I am happy he decided to play, because you can never have too many talented players, and obviously he is a talented player." Johnson said.
Underwood, the 29th player taken in the first round of the April draft, was claimed off waivers by the Dolphins last week.
Eagles
Bobby Hoying, Philadelphia's starting
starting quarterback at the outset of last season, was traded to Oakland for a conditional draft pick and reunited with Raiders coach Jon Gruden.
Hoying, 26, thrived under Gruden, then the Philadelphia offensive coordinator, late in 1997, but lost his starting job and confidence during the Eagles' 3-13 season. The Eagles have Doug Pederson starting, with rookie Donovan McNabb, the second overall selection in the draft, as the backup.
Key players' injuries plague Saints
The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — While running back Ricky Williams will miss the New Orleans Saints' third exhibition game on Saturday, coach Mike Ditka expects his only 1999 draft pick to be ready when the games start to count.
"Ricky is fine. He'll be ready for the season opener," Ditkas said as he left the Saints' practice field Tuesday night.
contrary to reports that circulated on Tuesday, the injury is not
Williams, for whom coach Ditka traded his entire draft and more in April, sprained his left ankle in the first exhibition game against Miami on Aug. 13. Trainer Dean Kleinschmidt said
"He had another medical evaluation by an

LSU Medical Center orthopedist," Kleinschmidt said. "This exam confirmed the medical staff's original diagnosis of a left high ankle sprain. Surgery is not indicated. There is no fracture."
Reports that Williams would miss five weeks, however, are erroneous. Kleinschmidt said.
Williams, who wears a protective boot on the injured ankle, left camp, refusing to speak to reporters. He walked on the Stairmaster on both Monday and Tuesday after watching his teammates practice.
Williams will miss Saturday's home game against Green Bay. After that, his condition will be reassessed. The Saints play Sept. 2 against Tennessee before opening the regular season on Sept. 12 at home against Carolina.
Ditka also stormed off the practice field Tuesday, refusing to talk to reporters after Pro Bowl players Joe Johnson and William Roaf both went down with injuries.
Johnson is out for the season
after rupturing a tendon in his right knee during a line drill. His knee apparently collapsed without contact.
"Maybe he just stepped wrong," defensive end Jared Tomich said. "He just collapsed. It was a real fluke."
Johnson had just returned to practice on Monday after sitting out all of training camp because of a bulging disc in his lower spine.
Roaf, a five-time Pro Bowler, sprained his left knee and ankle when players landed on his leg in a pileup. He was helped off the field, and Kleinschmidt said later that he will miss the Green Bay exhibition game.
Jaguars fringe faces possible cuts
Chiefs game provides chance to make impact

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.—If the fringe players on the Jacksonville Jaguars haven't made an impact by now, it's probably too late. If they have, their preseason game tonight against the Kansas City Chiefs gives them a chance to make the team.

"I really don't have any way of evaluating it," said Jones, a third-year veteran who came to the Jaguars midway through last season. "I just worry about me. I make sure I give myself a chance. If it's not here, then maybe it will be somewhere else."
Howard also came to the Jaguars midway through last season. He didn't pile up big numbers, however, and knows the next game could be his last with the Jaguars.
Making things more difficult for the fringe guys is that this is the week teams try to give more time to their starters.
Penn State requests tough season opener
Associated Press
No. 10 Wisconsin at all.
STATE COLLEGE, Pa.—Penn State had plenty of reasons to turn down the offer to play in the Pisskin Classic.
So why risk it? Why sign up for a game against No. 4 Arizona?
The third-ranked Nittany Lions already face one tough non-conference opponent, No. 12 Miami in the Orange Bowl. Their Big Ten schedule, meanwhile, is geared for a title run: They meet both No. 8 Michigan and No. 9 Ohio State in Beaver Stadium, and they don't face
Simple. This Penn State team can win this game — and a lot more this year — and denials aside. Jatero knows it.
Penn State's coach insists that he didn't want to play it, that his team voted for the early test.
But he's been known to test his teams in these made-for-TV openers. The Lions were underdog winners against No. 7 Southern Cal in 1997, and they
beat Georgia Tech in 1991, the year after the Yellow Jackets finished No. 2. They once even took on a No. 1, Nebraska, although they were routed.
"In most cases, you feel like you've got a pretty good football team," Paterno said Tuesday. "This particular year, I think we're a good football team."
Then, dispelling any notion that he has abandoned his tradition of bad-mouthing his new team before the season, he added, "Whether we're as good
as people think we are, I doubt it."
But if the past is any measure, he won't regret the decision to play Arizona.
"Really, there are very few negatives," he said. "When you have a chance to prepare for a team as good as Arizona, you probably get a little more out of summer conditioning and preseason practice. Win or lose, you are probably a better football team when you start the next week."

ATLANTA — The Cincinnati Reds came to Atlanta as one of the NL's hottest teams. They aren't anymore.
Braves complete sweep of Reds
The Associated Press
Andruw Jones hit a three-run homer and Tom Glavine pitched seven strong innings as the Braves continued to dominate the Reds, completing a three-game sweep with a 5-2 victory yesterday.
record again
Cincinnati during
the last three seasons,
including
six straight victories this year.
Overall, the
The surprising Reds had won nine straight series before they arrived at Turner Field.
Atlanta has a staggering 22-4
Mike Cameron led off the game with his 17th homer, but that was one of the few highlights for the Reds. Glavine (11-9) allowed just five hits — all singles — before Mike Remlinger and John Rocker each pitched a scoreless inning. Rocker earned his 28th save.
Braves have won seven in a row — their longest streak of the season.
Braves
After Cameron's homer, the Braves wasted no time erasing their deficit against former teammate Denny Neagle (3-5). Gerald Williams led off the bottom of the first with a double and Bret Boone reached on an infield single.
Nagle had a chance to get out of the inning when he retired the Braves' two most dangerous hitters. Chipper Jones popped to shortstop and Brian Jordan grounded out, forcing Williams to hold at third.
Outfieldter Greg Vaughn had time to drift slowly back to the wall and make a leap for the ball, but it landed just beyond his sleeve.
After the Reds cut the deficit to 3-2 on Dmitri Young's sacrifice fly in the sixth, the Braves added two more runs in their half to knock out Neagle. Andruw Jones doubled, Jose Hernandez hit a sacrifice fly and Eddie Perez capped the inning with an RBI single.
But Andruw Jones followed with a towering drive that hit the top of the left-field wall and bounced over for his 24th homer.
Neagle surrendered five hits
and all five runs in 5 1/3 innings. He retired 12 of 13 hitters in between the scoring frames.
The Braves, who have baseball's best record (80-49) despite an epidemic of injuries,began the day with a 11/2-game lead over New York in the NL Central. The Mets were playing yesterday night against Houston, which had a 11/2-game lead over the Reds in the Central Division.
For the first time, the Reds went winless in Atlanta during a season series. They scored only 12 runs and 25 hits (through seventh inning) in their six losses at Turner Field.
The teams will meet again next week in a three-game series at Cinergy Field.
Notes: The Braves are 17-6 in August, even though they have trailed in all but two games. ... Greg Maddux will miss his next scheduled start for Atlanta — tomorrow night at St. Louis — to give his injured right wrist more time to heal. He expects to pitch again Tuesday at Cincinnati. ... The Reds have lost eight straight series in Atlanta, their last victory coming in May 1995 when they took two of three at Fulton County Stadium. ... Until this season's 0-6 performance, Cincinnati's worst record in Atlanta was a 1-8 mark in 1992.
Mac, Sosa find 1999 chase less exciting
By Jim Litke AP Sports Writer
CHICAGO—In case you hadn't noticed, much of the joy and most of the exhilaration of the original is missing from Home Run Derby. The Sequel. On that subject. Sammy Sosa is very direct.
“It's not like last year, because we were in the middle of a race and Mark and I were chasing a record that had stood for 37 years. The team is not playing the way it did last year. But because the direction the team goes is not good,” he said, “doesn't mean I have to go there, too.”
Mark McGwite, Sosa's partner in the baseball-saving business, knows the feeling.
He hit No. 51 Tuesday night in Montreal to draw even in the home-run race and get back on schedule with his blistering crowd of last year. And while that pleased the crowd of 17,142 — nearly double the Expos' average of 9,595 at Olympic Stadium — it was small consolation for McGwire.
Told he had matched Lou Gehrig's record of 489 home runs by a first baseman (McGwire has hit 15 additional home runs while playing other positions) the red-headed slugger was in no mood to reflect, not after the Cardinals blew a lead and got beat 8-4.
"I don't even know who's next and I don't really care," McGwire said. "It has no bearing on what I do that day. I'm paid to play the game, I'm not paid to look at history. That's the way I look at things."
Last season, Sosa set a major league record by homering 29 times in losses. In the midst of the Cubs' unsteady march to the playoffs, hardly anyone noticed. But McGwire's home run Tuesday night marked his
C
Sosa: This year's home-run chase isn't the same.
32nd this season in a losing cause. And even if that
states bother no one else, it bothers him.
"All my impressions of all that stuff will mean a lot when I'm retired," McGwire said. "I have a lot of playing left and that's about it."
McGwire went through the same dilemma last season, but then, at least, there was Roger Maris' record and all the attendant hoopla to lessen the sting.
But the home-run hitters themselves are finding this year's attention wearying. Stuck on losing teams and unable to squirm out of the spotlight, they are trying to play hard without appearing to play only for themselves.
"Truly great players have agendas," said Cubs coach Billy Williams, one of baseball's best hitters during his 18-year career. "It's not that they're selfish — they would love everybody to play the way they do.
"But because they're so disciplined, the only thing they know is coming to the ballpark and having a good day. They keep hoping once their teammates see that day in and day out, they'll jump on it and get the wagon rolling.
"And if it doesn't happen?" said Williams, who put together 16 splendid seasons in Chicago without ever seeing the postseason. "Well, then they just keep their heads down and plow straight ahead."
Rose eligible for team
MasterCard didn't push Rose on MLB
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Commissioner Bud Selig decided on his own to allow Pete Rose to participate in baseball's All-Century team if the banned hits leader is elected, according to the sponsor of the voting.
After snubbing Rose at the All-star game, Selig said Monday he would be invited to the World Series if fans vote him to the team, even though Rose agreed to a lifetime ban from baseball following a gambling investigation.
Fans select 25 players, and a media panel can pick up to five others.

"It's a baseball policy issue," Jeff Price, the vice president of U.S. sponsorships and events for MasterCard International, said Tuesday. "MasterCard didn't get involved with it."
Selig said last month that Rose
Price wouldn't say whether MasterCard planned to use Rose for its commercials. Its current ads include Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, George Brett and Barry Bonds.
wasn't invited to on-field ceremonies at the All-Star game honoring the living players on the 100-man ballot.
"I think that what is important is that Bud has been very strong on not readmitting Pete to baseball," said Vincent, who oversaw the Rose investigation as the top deputy to commissioner A. Bartlett Glamatt. "That's the critical judgment. The rest is on the fringe."
Rose applied for reinstatement in September 1997. While Selig hasn't ruled on the application, he's made clear that he sees no reason to change the lifetime ban. Giamatti said in announcing the ban on Aug. 24, 1989, that he concluded Rose had bet on the Cincinnati Reds, the team he was managing.
Speaking on the 10th anniversary of the announcement of Rose's lifetime ban, former commissioner Fay Vincent said he didn't mind Selig's decision.
Randa comfortable in KC
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Beset by worry and doubt? Unsure where you'll be living a month from now? Or even if you'll have a job?
Take comfort then in the saga of Joseph Gregory Randa. His life turned completely around, and he and his wife, Bethany, realized just about every dream in four days.
"There had been a lot of anxiety in our house. All of a sudden, there was a lot of joy," said the young third baseman of the Kansas City Royals.
Kansas City was where the wiry, soft-spoken third baseman started his career in professional baseball and Kansas City was where he wanted to stay.
But even though he hit .303 in 110 games for the Royals in his first full major league season in 1996 and led the team with a .349 average with runners in scoring position, he got traded to Pittsburgh.
A year in the National League.
where he hit .302 with nine triples and 60 RBI only resulted in his being left unprotected in the expansion draft. The Arizona Diamondbacks snatched him up in the third round, then dealt him to the Detroit Tigers.
In Detroit in 1998, his average slipped to .254. Then last December, in a revolving door of change, he got word that Detroit had swapped him to the New York Mets.
Not only was he now the property of a fourth team in less than a year, he was going back to the National League, where there would be no road trips back to Kansas City to see Bethany and their first child, who was just days from being born.
As he and Bethany pondered their future, who should call but the team he never wanted to leave in the first place?
"Lots of nice stars started happening all at once," Randa said. "I got traded to the Royals on Dec. 10. Then Jacob was born on Dec. 14."

Johnson healthy, eager to break record
The Associated Press
SEVILLE, Spain — There was a serious question about Michael Johnson's health early this year. There isn't now, and the American 400-meter runner thinks he can break the world record at the World Championships.
"I know I'm in shape to run faster than 43.28." Johnson said Tuesday night after blistering through the first 300 meters of his semifinal heat and advancing to tonight's final.
American Butch Reynolds set the record in 1988, and Johnson has been chasing it in frustration in recent years. He has come close three times, with clockings of 43.39, 43.44 and 43.49.
"I just have to make sure I don't make any major mistakes," Johnson said. "The pace should be no problem Thursday."
It wasn't Tuesday night.
Johnson blazed through the first 300 before shutting down three different times during the final 100.
"I shut down one gear on the end of the curve because I saw that I had a little lead, but I was still afraid of losing the lead," he said. "Then when I got to the straight, I shut down a little more because I knew I had a safe lead. I shut down a whole lot
with 60 to 70 meters left."
years. Johnson has been bothered by
Still, he finished in 43.95 seconds, only 0.03 seconds off his world-leading time this year.
This year, Johnson he imbalance in his hip and pelvic areas and was forced to reduce his schedule. He also pulled out of the USA Championships in June and stopped in midrace during a meet in Stockholm, Sweden, on July 30.
The world 200 record-holder and double Olympic gold medalist in 1996 has

injuries during the championships.
Johnson: Ready to break world record in 400 meters
"Michael is in better shape than he was in '96 in my opinion," said American Jerome Davis, who just missed making the 400 final. "He's running like a madman out there right now."
American Antonio Pettigrew, the 1991 world champion, is wondering how he's going to cope with Johnson in the final.
"You have to stay with him and stay in
contention when he comes off the turn, or you're going to be in trouble." Pettigrew said. "You can't let him get away or there's no way you're going to catch him."
While Johnson was speeding around the fast Olympic Stadium track, distance runners Hicham El Guerroj and Haile Gheseilas also were impressive.
El Guverrouj won his second straight 1,500 title in 3 minutes, 27.65 seconds, the fifth-fastest ever; and Gebelserlae took his fourth consecutive 10,000 title in 27:57.27.
Today's program includes finals in six events: men's 50-kilometer walk, triple jump, 110-meter hurdles and decathlon, and the women's shot and 400 hurdles.
In Tuesday's other finals, Anthony Washington of the United States won the men's disc on his final throw of 226 feet, 8 inches; Ludmila Formanova of the Czech Republic scored an upset victory in the women's 800 in 1:56.68; Greece's Paraskevi Tsiamita won the women's triple jump at 48-10; and Romania's Mihaela Melinte, the world record-holder in the women's hammer throw, posted her 26th consecutive victory, at 246-9.
The championships were hit by its first two drug cases. Nigerian sprinter Davidson Ezinwa tested positive for a banned hormone and faces a two-year suspension, the IAAF said. Somalian 1,500 runner Mohamed Ibrahim Aden tested positive for a stimulant and received a warning.
El Guerrouj and Gebrelassie also were uncatchable once they got away Tuesday night.
El Guerrouri stayed behind Moroccan teammate Adil Kauouch for 700 meters, then took control. His long, graceful strides carried him to an 10-yard victory ahead of Kenya's Noah Ngeny in the race in which the top five all broke 3:32. Spaniaries Reyes Estevez, 1992 Olympic champion Fermin Cacho and Andres Dias finished 3-4-5 before a roaring, capacity crowd of 50,810.
El Guerrouj, the world record-holder in the 1,500 and the mile, dedicated the victory to Mohamed VI, the new Moroccan king, and said the late King Hassan II, who died in July, "would have been very proud of me today."
Gebruselassie ran the final 15 laps of the 10,000 with badly blistered feet, the same problem that plagued him while winning the 1996 Olympic final.
"It was hot and I had problems right from the start with my feet from 10 laps out, but I couldn't do anything but carry on," Gebriselassie, the world record-holder in the 5,000 and 10,000, said after leading a 1-3-4 Ethiopian finish.
Russian hurdler beating opposition, fighting cancer
The Associated Press
SEVILLE, Spain
Among those most surprised by the success of hurdler Ludmila Enguist is the world and Olympic champion herself.
"I don't know how I got this far," the 35-year-old cancer patient said yesterday after winning one of six heats at the World Championships and posting the best time of the day.
Still, the Russian-born Swede thinks a demanding schedule of four races in five days and the searing Andalusian heat will take a
toll on her. The quarterfinals are today, with the semifinals tomorrow and the final Sunday.
"I am very realistic. I will try, but I don't think I can win." Enguigger said of her prospects for a gold medal. "I would just like to be on the podium."
Competing between chemotherapy treatments for breast cancer, the two-time world champion and 1996 Olympic gold medalist had the fastest time in heats for the 100-meter hurdles.
The cancer was diagnosed in late March, and
Engquist had surgery to remove her right breast on her birthday. April 21.
Doctors said it would be about six weeks before she could start exercising. But Engquist couldn't wait to return to her sanctuary — the track.
"Like my doctor said,
'You must lead your normal life,'" she said.
"Normal life for me is to train and compete, and I did it."
She continued to train through four chemotherapy sessions, and has two remaining—including one slated for next week.
American misses fastest mark in 200 butterfly by half-second
The Associated Press
SYDNEY, Australia — Denis Pankratov can rest easy because Tom Malchow couldn't in the hours before the his 200 butterfly yesterday at the Pan Pacific swim championships.
Malchow just missed the Russian's 4-year-old world record in Tuesday's semifinal — finishing in 1 minute, 55.76 seconds, a half-second slower than Pankratov's 1995 mark of 1:55.22.
g about breaking the record cut into Malchow's sleep time Tuesday night. Yesterday, the 23-year-old American lowered his time to 1:55.41 .19 off Pankratov's mark .to win the event. Too bad he didn't get a good night's sleep. "After my semi swim, a few people came
up to me and talked a bit about the record," Malchow said after posting the second-fastest time in the history of the event. "I thought, 'Wow, I could do this' and tossed and turned a bit through the night."
Malchow, from St. Paul, Minn., but living now in Ann Arbor, Mich., finished almost two seconds clear of Japan's Takashi Yamamoto. American Ugur Tanner was third.
"I don't know whether it made the difference — I supposed it could have. But I've done the best three swims of my life."
"It was close, but there's something to keep shooting for," Malchow said. "Hopefully, I will be back next year for the Olympics — maybe I'll be ready at that time to go that fast."
Executive from Utah sued by son of IOC official
The Associated Press
SOUILL, South Korea—The son of a powerful South Korean member of the International Olympic Committee filed a $100,000 defamation suit against a U.S. businessman yesterday.
It is the second legal case stemming from controversy about Salt Lake City's winning bid for the 2002 Winter Olympics.
In a suit filed with the Seoul District Civil Court, Kim Junghoon, 41, said his integrity was hurt by false testimony that Utah businessman David Simmons gave investigators, court officials said.
On Aug. 3, Simmons pleaded guilty in U.S. court to misdeanor tax evasion. It was the first criminal case developing from U.S. investigations of Salt Lake City's vote-buying scandal.
Simmons testified that he helped Kim obtain permanent U.S. resident status by setting up a sham job at his now-defunct communications company. Kim Jung-hoon is the son of South Korean IOC executive member Kim Un-yong.
Simmons said he used fake contracts and phony invoices to conceal the fact that the younger Kim's salary was paid by the Salt Lake City Olympic Bid Committee.
“Mr. Simmons has provided truthful information about Mr. Kim to the Department of Justice and will continue to do so,” said Simmops' attorney, James Holbrook. He declined further comment, saying he had not yet seen Kim's lawsuit.
Kim claimed that his deal with Simmons' company was purely business. Under the arrangement, Simmons visited South Korea several times to explore business opportunities in telecommunications.
Kim said he knew nothing of the salary arrangement between SLOC and Simmons' company, Keystone Communications.

BOWLING LEAGUE Jaybowl KANSAS UNION
The dispute between the Raptors and Buducnost of Yugoslavia was resolved under an arbitration procedure agreed upon by the NBA and FIBA, the world governing body of the sport.
Radiojevic is a 7-foot-3 center who played at Barton County Community College last season. He averaged 15.4 points, 9.0 rebounds and 4.0 blocked shots in 38 games with the junior college team.
TORONTO— Alek Radojevic has been cleared to join the Toronto Raptors.
Paycom!
KANSAS UNION
Toronto drafted Radojevic knowing he was under contract to the Yugoslav team. He never played for Bducnost, however, and set his sights on the NBA instead.
"You can't win in their league without a talented big man, and we expect Alek to develop into a valuable part of our team," Toronto coach Butch Carter said.
Kansas Union Jaybowl
An arbitrator in England has ruled that Radojevic, taken 12th overall in the NBA draft by Toronto, no longer has ties to a team in Yugoslavia and is free to join the Raptors.

wasn't selected in the June draft, signed with the Devil Rays as a free agent and will give up his last season at Iowa.
😊
"The best day of my life is every day. I'm thankful for what I've got," Mallory told The Indianapolis Star. "I think people expect bitterness, but no, you get bitter, you're only whipping yourself."
OTTUMWA, Iowa — Jim Magrane was all set to return for his senior season at Iowa. He had enrolled in classes and was ready to start fall workouts.
He'll play for Tampa Bay's instructional league team in St. Petersburg, Fla., this fall and will be assigned to the organization's top Class A team in St. Petersburg next spring.
Football is still the main topic at family gatherings, as Mallory's three sons are collegiate coaches. Mike is the defensive coordinator at Northern Illinois; Doug is the secondary coach at Maryland; Kurt coaches linebackers at Ball State. Bill Mallory and his wife, Ellie, will watch each of their sons' teams play three or four times a season, but now there's time for other things, too.

Magrane, named Iowa's most valuable player this year, said when he was offered a contract with a signing bonus, he was left with two choices; return to Iowa and possibly get a bigger contract as a draft choice next June, or sign now and get a jump on his professional career.
Then the Tampa Bay Devil Rays came along and everything changed.
RAPTORS
"The difficulty was the timing," Magrane said. "It was so late and put Iowa in a pinch. I tried to be sensitive to that. It came down to certainty and uncertainty. This is a certainty. This way I get a head start in pro ball. There's no figure on what that's worth."

"We are not happy with the money," agent Mark Gandler said after rejecting Penguins general manager Craig Patrick's initial offer. "I believe there.
FITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Penguins are having trouble re-signing restricted free agent defenseman Darius Kasparitis.
The 26-year-old Kasparaitis made $1.1 million last season, when he play
only 48 games before needing right knee surgery. It was his second major operation on the knee.
"Craig tells me that it's not an issue and I have to assume he's telling the truth," Gandler said. "If Craig does make an issue of it, we're more than willing to submit Darius to a physical examination by the team."
Kasparaitis is working out this week in Miami with nearly two dozen other NHL players at a private training camp. He cannot report to the Penguins' camp, which starts Sept. 4, until he reaches terms.

Mourners remember KU student at service
(USPS 650-640)
By Lori O'Toole writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
More than 250 people left the sanctuary of Clinton Parkway Assembly of God last night with pieces of navy blue cloth splashed with white shooting stars.
The strips of cloth were meant to bind each friend and family member to Jarold Baker, so everyone who attended his memorial service last night would have something to remember him by.
"The shooting stars are because he was an aerospace engineer," said Jennifer Suter, Leavenworth junior, who brought the fabric.
For nearly two hours, those who attended the service at 3200 Clinton Parkway, where Baker was a member, sang, prayed and talked about their memories of the 22-year-old Attica senior, who drowned last Friday in the Arkansas River.
His parents and older brother were there, along with his current and former roommates, friends from the Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship and church members. More than 450 people attended his funeral Monday in Attica.
The memorial service last night had a contemporary atmosphere.
People swayed in the pews to the music of Pool Boys, a band comprised of University of Kansas students and graduates, which played several songs throughout the service.
Baker had helped the band on Monday nights by projecting the lyrics to their soft Christian rock music from a Powerpoint program onto a screen at

During the 1999-2000 school year, the University of Kansas will be taking a hard look in the mirror.
In the eyes of the beholder
The KU Endowment Association hired Clark, Martire & Bartolomeo, Inc., based in Englewood Cliffs, N.J., to study perceptions of the University among students, parents, faculty and community members. The firm should complete the survey in nine to 12 months at a projected cost of $200,000.
Endowment Association hires image consultant for University
The University Daily Kansan is the student newspaper of the University of Kansas. The first copy is paid through the student activity fee. Additional copies of the Kansan are 25 cents.
"We've never really asked ourselves, How is KU doing?" said Jim Martin, president of the Endowment Association. "What we're trying to do is help KU tell its story better than it has in the past."
Clark, Martine & Bartolomeo, a public-relations research firm, started work Aug. 5, when employees from the company spoke with a group of 23 alumni and Endowment administrators about the firm's research methods. Martin said that the firm should begin surveying students and community members by the beginning of October. Focus groups, interviews and telephone and mail questionnaires will be used.
"What we're really hoping to find are things we're not perceiving, or the university isn't perceiving," Martin said. "It's a trend that needs to become more of a routine."
After the firm completes its work, a report will recommend ways for the University to improve its image and outreach in surrounding areas. Although financed by the private Endowment Association, results of the

survey will be shared with the KU administration.
"Any university has to constantly evaluate how well it's serving its public and what its public thinks of it," Hemenway said. "This is not a new idea."
"We think it's a good opportunity to affect the University in a very positive way," Martin said. "It's a very healthy thing to do."
Chancellor Robert Hemenway supports the Endowment Association's work.
Hemenway noted the Endowment Association was preparing for a major fund-raising drive. A positive image for the University would help the Association boost donations.
"This is the natural event that would take place in preparation for a capital campaign." Hemenway said.
Although the University conducted smaller surveys in the past, Hemenway said this year's project was the largest he has been involved with. Clark, Martine & Bartolomeo also have conducted research for Syracuse University, Columbia University and the University of Maryland at College Park.
The Chancellor said the most important part of the process would come after Clark, Martine & Bartolomeo had made a final report
"The really critical part is how you assess the data," Hemenway said. "That has to be done very carefully."
Alan Cerveny, director of admissions, said information gathered from the survey would be useful in recruiting new students.
"We find ourselves sometimes dispelling more myths than dispensing information," Cerveny said. "We want to make sure we can present the University in a way that makes people aware of all they have to offer."

Kristen Adkinson, assistant director of new student orientation, said she looked forward to the survey's results.
She said she hoped a new campus image would counteract negative stereotypes about the existence of snobbery
and an impersonal environment at the University

Social Welfare school receives $23,000 grant
The School of Social Welfare received two gifts this week that will benefit the students.
On Tuesday, the Jewish Heritage Foundation of Greater Kansas City gave the school $23,000 that will enable four social welfare students to work at the foundation.
The grant will create a special student unit at the Jewish Community Center in Overland Park aimed at working on a senior-adult activity program. The students and their supervisor will create programs to meet the interests and social, recreational and educational needs of the elderly.
Melanie Hepburn, assistant dean of social welfare, said the gift would allow the foundation and students to interact.
"The students can increase our range of practicum locations," she said. "It will benefit the students and community."
The foundation's primary mission is to enhance health and human services in greater Kansas City with an emphasis on the Jewish community.
Earlier this week, a $50,000 pledge was announced from Dorla Abbott and the late Dorothee Simmons, two graduates of the School of Social Welfare. The money will go toward scholarships for those students interested in working with health care or mental health.

Man exposes himself in sorority parking lot
An unidentified man exposed himself in the Alpha Delta Pi sorority parking lot Wednesday night.
Angela Agustin, Wichita junior, said she was walking in the back door at 10:50 p.m. when she turned around and saw the man standing by the trash bin.
He was not fondling himself, she said.
"I looked at him for a few seconds," she said. "It was dark, and it took awhile to realize what was going on."
Agustin rushed inside the house, at 1600 Oxford Road. When she looked out the window, the man was gone. She then called Lawrence police.
The man has been described as being in his late twenties and having a stocky build. Agustin said he did not look like a student.
Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence police said they had not apprehended the suspect.

The intersection of Massachusetts and Ninth streets, which had been closed for almost two months because of an utility-replacement project, reopened at 7:30 a.m., City Manager Mike Wildgen said.
The intersection will have to close again early next week to start "milling" the street — removing old asphalt and getting it ready for a new surface — but will be completely done in about a week. Wilden said.
The utility-replacement project has moved east on Ninth Street, closing the intersections from Vermont Street east to New Hampshire Street.
Suspect still at-large in liquor store robbery
Lawrence police continue to look for the suspect in the robbery of a liquor store Wednesday night.
At 10:15 p.m., a man walked into Koleber Retail Liquor, 1805 W. Second St., pulled out a handgun and demanded money. Store clerks gave him an undisclosed amount of money, and the suspect left on foot.
No shots were fired, and no injuries were reported. Sut. George Wheeler said.

Scientists introduce bubonic plague vaccine
LONDON — British government scientists said yesterday they had developed a vaccine against bubonic plague to help protect military troops from biological warfare.
The vaccine is in a particularly advanced stage of development and is ready to be tested on humans, Rick Hall, technical director at the government's military research center, said in a British Broadcasting Corp. interview.
"Of course once it is licensed — through exactly the same process as any other medicine — it will not only provide increased protection for Britain and its armed forces, but it will also be available to help protect civilians in parts of the world where plague occurs naturally," Hall said.
The research was prompted by fears that countries such as Iraq are developing new methods of biological attack.
Bubonic plague is a contagious disease usually transmitted by fleas from infected rats. Symptoms in humans resemble those of flu, including a headache, fever, chills and possibly painfully swollen lymph nodes in the armpit, groin or neck areas. In the pneumonic stage, the disease spreads to the lungs.
declined to talk specifically about the government's research.
A Ministry of Defense representative
"There is certainly research going on looking at biological weapons and chemical weapons," said the representative, speaking with customary anonymity. "We have never made any secret about that. We need to look at the different agents which could be used against our troops and develop suitable medicines and vaccines against them."
Russia, Islamic rebels ease fighting for now
MAKHACKHALA, Russia - Large-scale fighting between Russian forces and Islamic militants in southern Russia was mostly finished by yesterday, though tensions remained high over reported attacks on breakaway Chechnya.
Russia's military said yesterday its jets pounded Islamic militants fleeing to Chechnya on Wednesday after a failed invasion of the neighboring region of Dagestan. But officials gave conflicting reports of whether the strikes hit the territory of Chechnya, which considers itself an independent state and vehemently resents military raids on its land.
The contradictory statements highlighted how volatile the remote Caucasus Mountains region remains, despite Russian claims of victory in its two-week campaign against the rebels.
Chechen officials claimed Russian jets made 16 bombing runs on Chechnya against the militants Wednesday.
The Russian Defense Ministry's press center in Dagestan said that Russian jets bombed the militants within Chechyna. Later, Defense Minister Igor Sergeyev and Air Force Chief-of-Staff Anatoly Kornukov denied that Chechen territory had been hit.
However, the Russian command reserves the right to deliver strikes on the rebels wherever they are, the Defense Ministry said.
The Chechen Foreign Ministry appealed to the United Nations yesterday to investigate whether there were any terrorist bases in Chechnya to justify Russia's alleged bombing raids.
"Under the pretext of destroying terrorist bases, Russia is making missile and bomb strikes against settlements." Chechen Foreign Minister Ilyas Akhmadov was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency.
Russian jets have bombed rebel bases in Chechnya several times since islamic militants seeking an independent state crossed the Chechen border into Dagestan on Aug. 7 and took at least six villages.
Moscow is preparing a new war against Chechnya, he said.
After weeks of bombardment by Russian forces, the rebels — estimated at more than 2,000 — had largely fled the region by yesterday, but handfuls of militants remained.

Brown Bear set to reopen sans beer, alcohol options
By Dorek Prater
writer@kansas.com
Kansan staff writer
Down but hot out. A brewery with no beer.
There is a brewery open today at 11 a.m., serving food but no alcohol.
Down but not out. A brewery with no beer.
An internal audit the brewery supplied to the city showed that the Brown Bear was not meeting a zoning ordinance passed by the Lawrence City Commission in 1994. The C-3 zoning regulation requires that new drinking establishments make 55 percent of total receipts from food sales. The intention was to halt the proliferation of "pure bars" downtown.
"The next few weeks are critical," said co-owner Shawn Schlegel, referring to the life of the brewery. The Brown Bear closed Saturday after city officials did not renew its liquor license.
Schlegel and fellow owner Ryan Rodenburg appealed to the commission for another opportunity at the City Commission meeting Tuesday night. They presented the commission with a business plan that they believed would bring the brewery into compliance with the zoning ordinance.
Their request to have their liquor license reinstated failed when a motion made by Commissioner Marty Kennedy to approve the license was not seconded.
Commissioner Mike Rundle summed up the feelings of the commission when he said that he was not convinced the brewery could meet the 55 percent requirement.
Brad Schepers, manager of the Brown Bear and former KU student, said he was shocked by the
"We're losing a lot of revenue.I don't have anything to lose by trying."
Shawn Schlegel
Brown Bear Brewing Co. co-owner
commission's decision.
"I thought the commissioners would have more compassion for the situation we were in," he said. "It's not like we're not trying to raise our food sales. We've changed our menu three times."
If a new liquor license is obtained, the brewery's business will return to normal. Schlegel said.
Schlegetf's initial reaction to the commission's decision was that it meant the end of the Brown Bear, but instead he and Rodenburg decided to form a new corporation and reapply for their liquor license under the new corporation.
The owners decided to open the restaurant portion of the brewery to slow the flow of lost income.
"We're losing a lot of revenue," Schlegel said. "I don't have anything to lose by trying."
Schepers said he was optimistic about the future of the Brown Bear.
"Our food sales have been increasing, and our new menu is fabulous," he said.

Fairness of Merit Scholarships questioned
By Nathan Willis writer @kansan.com Kansan staff writer
E. J. Reedy graduated from high school with a formidable academic resume.
The Topeka junior graduated first in his class of 230 at Topeka West High School. He had a weighted high school GPA of 4.53.
But he scored a 210 on the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test's Selection Index his junior year — a good score, but two points less than the 212 required to become a National Merit Semifinalist in Kansas that year.
Those two points might have cost Boody thousands of dollars.
Had he become a Semifinalist, Reedy likely would have advanced to Finalist status about 90 percent of Semifinalists do. That would have locked him into the $5,000 in annual scholarships the University offers Finalists.
Instead, Reedy receives about $2,000 annually from the University — 60 percent less than what Merit Scholars receive.
Despite that, Reedy has continued to excel. He has a GPA better than 3.9 and is co-director for the Center for Community Outreach this year.
"I think it's silly for the University to place so much emphasis on one day of a person's junior year," Reedy said. "I think it's impossible to tell how to place all the scholarship based on such a specific event."
Cases such as Reedy's have led some students to question if the recent emphasis the University has placed on recruiting and handing out hefty scholarships to National Merit Scholars is justified.
"I know people I went to high school with who worked twice as hard and got better grades than me, but they weren't National Merit because they didn't score as high on a standardized test," said Wilson Miner, a Wichita freshman and part of this year's crop of 101 Merit Scholars.
Miner is just one of several Merit Scholars who said that although they were grateful for the scholarships, they thought Merit Scholars were sometimes
Here are four primary stages in becoming a National Merit Scholar. During junior year of high school
MERIT CRITERIA
During junior year of high school the student takes the PSATs. The student's score determines initial eligibility for semifinal or commended scholar status.
Semifinalists provide high school academic records, including extra-curricular backgrounds
National Merit Corp. sends letters to 35,000 college scholars. About 15,000 students continue in the selection process as seminalists

receiving attention at the expense of other students.
"I don't think they should focus quite so much on it and make such a big deal," said Susan Dunavan, a Charlottesville, Va., junior and Merit Scholar.
Administrators offered several reasons for the heavy focus.
One is that many universities give Merit Scholars lots of attention.
"We want to offer competitive packages," said Alan Cerveny, director of admissions and scholarships. "We're not interested in buying students, but we're not
interested in lo$ing students either."
"It's great advertising." Carlin said.
Diana Carlin, interim assistant provost, said Merit Scholars generated great publicity for the University and compared their recruitment to when KU basketball coach Roy Williams lands a McDonald's All-American.
Carlin also said that Merit Scholars were generally excellent students.
The trouble is they're not the only ones, Reedy said. And the ones are not Merit Scholars
pay for it,he said.
However, Cerveny said that a few students who were not Merit Scholars actually have bested the money Merit Scholars receive with a combination of University and outside scholarships.
"The University gives out more than $12 million in scholarships to students every year, and that goes far beyond National Merit Scholars." Cerveny said.
He said the National Merit award was higher than the other packages, though, which led back to the question of whether it should be used to determine who gets the University's top scholarships.
Although some students and administrators said they knew the National Merit system was somewhat arbitrary because the initial qualifier was a test score, many said no system could be completely fair.
"You have to have some sort of filter," Miner said. "No, it's not perfectly fair, but I don't know that there's anything better."

evening praise and worship meetings.
"Jarold always smiled," said Ron Hockney, KU graduate and band member. "I'm honored to play here because I know Jarold's having a great time right now."
Some people sang with their arms raised up, as Steve Swanson said Baker had done while listening to that music.
"This service is to help us foster memories and also to perpetuate them," Swanson, campus pastor and Chi Alpha director, told those gathered in the small church.
Several people offered memories of Baker.
Debbie Hall, church member, told the crowd how Baker taught her three young daughters how to fly a kite, make a pizza and build a fort.
Jason Topliff, Goodland senior and former roommate, recalled Baker getting sick on a ride at Worlds of Fun and cooking burgers together on Saturdays at Pearson Scholarship Hall.
While Jarold Baker's friends spoke of him, some touched upon his abrupt and uncertain death.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Department was still investigating the facts surrounding the drowning.
They included a high school salutatorian trophy, oil paintings he had done and an oak bookshelf he completed the week before he died.
But last night, his friends and family placed the focus on Baker's hobbies and accomplishments, visible through several items that were displayed in the church's foyer and sanctuary.
His mother, Shirley Baker, brought a photo collage she made, a portion of which Jarold Baker made for a project during high school.
The collage included pictures of Jarold Baker as a chubby-cheeked child in blue overalls, an adolescent feeding cows on the family farm and a glowing high school student in a tuxedo.
There was also a recent picture of him wearing a royal blue KU sweatshirt.
His father, John Baker, said that he, his wife and Jarold Baker's 27-year-old brother visited him in Lawrence two weeks ago.
John Baker said they went to Kansas City, saw the Runaway Bride, ate at K.C. Masterpiece and visited Jarol Baker's new apartment.
"It was a really fun trip," John Baker said. "We'll always remember it."

Better retention goal of grou
By Derek Prater
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Representatives from a host of different University of Kansas administrative offices gathered yesterday to address a growing concern at the University: retention of minority students.
Though the University as a whole has a strong student-retention rate of about 70 percent, minority retention hovers at about 48 percent, said Robert N. Page Jr., associate director of Multicultural Affairs and HAWK Link committee chair.
In April, the HAWK Link committee was formed with the goal of improving minority retention and matriculation.
"We knew that this is a trend at many universities, and we had to address this issue," Page said.
At yesterday's meeting, which drew about 40 people, the theme was collaboration. The HAWK Link committee presented its HAWK Link 2000 Students of Color Retention Strategy and
Mary Ryan, director of New Student Orientation and HAWK Link committee member, said that the strength of the committee was in the singularity of its purpose.
stressed the need for input from varying departments, staff and students.
"It's a great group working together that isn't concerned about what office they represent, but about how we can work together," she said.
The HAWK Link proposal outlines a plan that should make minority students more aware of the resources available to them and more comfortable and connected to the University.
It starts with recruitment and makes sure that the recruitment process educates students on barriers to their success at the University, such as financial problems. Though recruitment of minorities has been up, the process has not been effective in preparing students for life at the University, Page said.
dents involved with orientation earlier was the key to being successful in preparing them for university life.
Though the University has one of the best orientation programs in the country, more could be done to help minority students take advantage of the program, he said.
The proposal also highlights improvements that can be made through advising, mentoring, workshops, student involvement and housing.
Ryan said that getting stu-
The program will be assessed throughout the year by the HAWK Link committee to identify areas of success and needs for improvement.
Faculty and staff posed questions at the meeting and offered input on how the program could be effective. Page said he was encouraged by the involvement.
"KU has everything in place," he said. "All we need to do is pull it all together." Page said that student involvement is a key to success.
Season Titus, Newton junior and HAWK Link student coordinator, said that it was important for students to help their peers get involved.
"I want all students of color to feel comfortable on campus," she said. "We want them feel that KU is the place that they want to be."

Hunsucker maintains innocence in rape trial
by Katie Hollar
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Flickering lights and rumbling thunder punctuated Gregory Hunsucker IT's testimony yesterday afternoon.
While the storm surged outside, the Douglas County Law Enforcement Center, the defendant in the ongoing rape trial, took the stand in Division II court.
The rape charges against Hunsucker, an Olathe sophomore, stem from events Oct. 17 at Ellsworth Hall. A female resident of the hall said Hunsucker overpowered her, penetrated her vagina with his finger and fondled her breasts without her consent. This is Hunsucker's second trial for these charges; his initial trial in June ended in a hung jury.
Before Hunsucker's testimony, defense attorney Don Smith moved for an acquittal. It was denied by presiding Judge Jack Murphy.
While on the stand, Hunsucker adhered to his original statements last October. Hunsucker said he and the alleged victim kissed, engaged in mutual oral sex and vaginal intercourse Oct. 17. He said all actions were consensual.
During cross-examination of the defendant, prosecutor Dave Zabel focused on Hunsucker's background in wrestling - his size, strength and ability to pin. Murphy allowed the questioning despite an objection from Smith.
Earlier in the day Zabel had called a number of witnesses, including the alleged victim's mother, roommate and neighbor, as well as the KU Public Safety Officers who filed the original report.
The alleged victim's roommate was in the room asleep during the event. She said she did not hear anything. However, she said it was not uncommon for her to sleep through noise and voices. Their neighbor said she did not hear any noise the night in question.
The alleged victim's mother said she noticed a change in her daughter's personality after the weekend of Oct. 17.
a "rape kit" — evidence collected by medical personnel — was not used in the case; both officers said they did not deem it necessary in this situation.
The trial will resume at 9 a.m. tomorrow. Smith said he expected closing statements and a verdict tomorrow afternoon.

Public deserves truth from Bush
Presidential candidates' past drug use provides insight into judgment, character and criminal history
Robert James Novak / KANSAN
BEEN CLEAN FOR
25 YEARS!
BUSH '00
F or months it appeared that the campaign for the Republican presidential nomination
Hope lives on, at least for the moment, with recent queries into Bush's possible past
cocaine use. Rather than being the politics of personal destruction, the question of past cocaine use is valid and deserves to be answered forthrightly
would be rather uneventful. George W. Bush, governor of Texas, has been the clear front-runner, with enormous leads in most surveys and a resounding lead in fund raising. Other hopefuls for the nomination have campaigned tirelessly, in hope that Bush would slip.
Bush has tossed aside the inquiries, saying that they are overly invasive and irrelevant to his campaign. Unfortunately, in the absence of a clear issues platform, past cocaine use
is one of the few issues that Bush has lent to the electorate. Championing the obtuse cause of compassionate conservatism is not enough for the public to chew on.
LIKE it or not, youthful indiscretions become the centerpiece when a candidate lacks a clear platform.
Further, the press has a right to ask questions relating to possible past felonies. Besides giving a glimpse into a candidate's character, the issue of cocaine has become an important area of debate. Much has been made of the inequities in the laws regarding crack and cocaine, and a future president might be asked to decide on this issue. In that case, Bush's possible past indiscretions might play a role in his decision making.
In the age of political mudslinging, Bush has painted these questions as nothing more than ugly, personal attacks, saying, "I've learned that sometimes politics can be unnecessarily ugly, and I'm trying to purge the system of ugly politics."
Bush is unfairly grouping ugly politics with ugly issues. The fact is that past cocaine use is not pretty. With more than
a year to go. Bush must learn to deal with the inevitable obstacles that come with elections. He must not always give the politically right answers, only candidly truthful ones.
The reasons for not disclosing the whole truth most likely stem from political concerns. However, according to a survey conducted by Time/CNN, only 11 percent of the public would consider past cocaine use a disqualifying attribute. This revelation will not and should not adversely affect Bush's campaign. Without full disclosure, though, Bush is only building a relationship of distrust.
Bush has given various responses to the questions that now inevitably dog him. Last week, he offered his thoughts on good parenting say, "I think the baby boomer parent ought to say, 'I've learned from mistakes I may or may not have made.'"
In the end, his answers may or may not stop voters from electing him, but voters deserve an answer so they can make an informed decision.
Lawrence a sight for sore eyes
Jeff Engstrom for the editorial board
Upon returning from nine months spent in the more cosmopolitan cities of New York and Washington, D.C., I had an unexpected surprise: I'm glad to be back in Lawrence. Once a jaded Wichitan eager to flee Kansas, I've realized that this state does have something to offer, even if it's concentrated in a small, hilly town bordered by the boredom of Johnson County and Topeka. There's a lot to love about Lawrence, yes, and I thought I'd begin the year by sharing some of my favorite (and least favorite) things about our town.
Best
Free State. It's a place where you can take anyone, whether it's for lunch with your parents, a meeting with a professor, or just a beer with friends. The stuff is all brewed right there, which is still a novelty for me, and unlike other microbrew joints, the food at Free State is actually quite good.
Liberty Hall. You don't have to hang out at the Tap Room to love its selection of indie and foreign films, both on screen and on video. It puts the Cannes in Kansas (thought that up myself just now, but if the people that run Liberty Hall need a slogan, they can steal it if they want). Go see Run Lola Tonight; it is a good flick.
Clinton Lake. Who needs the beach when we've got our own manmade reservoir with all the facilities for a hike, a picnic or a swim. Try camping, too. Speaking of swimming, how about that pool with all the cool slides downtown? I've never been there, and I'm sure it's choked with obnoxious children, but, wow, where was that when I was growing up?
Penny Annie's Sweet Shoppe. It's just as quaint and old-fashioned as the spelling of "shoppe" suggests, and the endless variety of fountain drinks
adds a splash to any boring afternoon.
Super Target and all those big boxi stores on south Iowa. It's all about multinational exploitation and homogenized corporate culture south of 31st, but it's damn convenient. It's sort of like our own Little Olathe, expanding all the time. When you know what you want and you want it now, you know where to go.
Gumby's Pizza and the Burrito King
Just don't try
— there's no going back
The beautiful campus of the University of Kansas. Yes, it cheesy to say, but so is a column about the best and worst of Lawrence, so I'll say it: Few colleges can compete with the scenic beauty of Mt.
STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK
Mark McMaster columnist
opinion@kansan.com
Oread. Enjoy the campus — go running, play frisbee, make real all of the images you first saw in a KU viewbook.
Worst
That "outlet mall" downtown. Its prison-like facade looms over the Kansas River, sucking the natural beauty from the wooded shore across the way. Soon, the J. Crew will be gone (sadly, the Big Dog Sportswear Outlet already has closed its doors), and the mail will serve little purpose for students except space for Sprint's telemarketing office, the last-ditch employer for desperate locals in need of cash. (I spent a week working there myself, but I managed to find a decent job by the end of training.)
The kids who cruise Mass on weekend nights. Turn down your bass, herd
your greasy friends back into the pickup bed, and go back to Ottawa! This is a college town!
The local renters market. Where else in Kansas would you pay $400 for an apartment with lead paint peeling off the walls, a kitchen out of Little House on the Prairie and no parking? And for those gullible enough to trust the evil Mastercraft empire with their deposit, kiss your money goodbye.
Super Target and all those big boxi stores on south Iowa. On the other hand, the Delta Force hippies have a point: It doesn't get much more banal than a corner occupied by Kmart, Target and Wal-Mart. The big stores also attract hordes of parents outfitting their freshman kids for dorm life, which has been especially irritating in the past couple of weeks.
No more dollar theater. I don't care if the popcorn was recycled off the floor and the air conditioning didn't work. How else will I indulge my guilty pleasure for talking-animal films unless I can pretend to be mocking them at the dollar theater?
*Deb Tolar.* Dedicated, knowledgable,
experienced, insidious queen of self-
promotion.
Lawrence traffic. No city the size of Lawrence should have the kind of congestion experienced on 23rd and Iowa. A trip across town can be as frustrating as the late night drive-thru line at Taco Bell. Or when they give you a taco with no meat on it, thinking that you're too drunk to come back and complain. I hate that.
Well, there it is: the best and worst of Lawrence. Next time I'll do some research and write a real column, honest.

Feedback Dean's motives shouldn't be questioned
Your article discussing the search for a law school dean mentioned that the students had low morale because Mike Hoefflich, dean, was still here after submitting a letter of resignation.
I don't think there is a question that his heart is still in it. The man is not held captive here. He very well could have left in May. He took it upon himself to stay so that the school, and the students, could have a dean. In my opinion that's like saying a drowning person is going to have a low morale because the lifeguard who throws them a life preserver was supposed
to be off duty.
To question the motives of Dean Hoeflich's decision to stay in my opinion is ridiculous, I, for one, am ecstatic that he is still here. As a student in my last year of a four-year JD/MBA program, I thought my dean, professor, mentor and friend was not going to be here when I crossed that stage in May. I am a law student whose morale has been boosted, as opposed to lowered, by his decision to stay for one more year. When I cross that stage in May I can now receive my degree and shake the hand of a man who has been the most influential person on my professional career.
Preston James IV New York graduate student
Congratulations to Provost (David) Shulenburger for identifying sidewalk scribbling as "extraordinarily discourteous" (Daily Kansan, Aug. 26). In addition to adding expenses to an already limited campus maintenance budget, it is disrespectful to the concept of a public community for individuals to deface the environment with advertising messages that generate business profits for some entrepreneur who regards the University as his marketplace.
Provost's sidewalk policy is right on the mark
personal dignity and the dignity of this beautiful place to commercial advertising — as long as it's all in the name of earning money for college

Broaden your mind: Today's quote
Hacktivism, no matter how deserved, not right
"I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have." —Thomas Jefferson
As a general rule, bad things that happen to the Rev, Fred Phelps don't upset me. One of my professors once referred to him as a wart on the nose of the fair state of Kansas, and I've yet to find a better description.
For those of you who don't recall the man I'm talking about, he was the charming fellow who picketed the funeral of Matthew Shepard, the address at Allen Fieldhouse last year by Archbishop Desmond Tutu and a host of other events that anyone with the moral judgment of a lobotomized bullfrog would avoid disrupting.
Pencil sketch of a man wearing a hat.
Loader columnist
opinion@kansan.com
His website, maintained by grandson Ben Phelps, a KU student, has the
URL of http://www.godhatesfags.com. That pretty much sums up the man and his putrid message.
Visitors to his site last week found something unexpected. Instead of Phelps' animated depiction of Shepard roasting in Hell, they instead found themselves rerouted to www.godlovesfaas.com
Normally, I'd be delighted by o! Fred getting a black eye. I'm neither gay nor atheist, but I take an automatic dislike to anyone who tries to tell me whom to hate.
Had Phelps changed his mind about gay folks? Nope. His site was taken over by an enterprising hacker.
Because Phelps' lawyer supposedly asked nicely ("Give it back or we sue."), the site was returned to its rightful, if bigoted, owners.
However, this particular case falls under a topic near and dear to my heart — that of backtivism.
The older, less fancy word for it is vandalism. And that's what it is, plain and simple. Giving it a nifty-sounding name doesn't change it. It is the digital equivalent of heaving a brick through a window or spray-painting slurs on a wall. We do people a disservice when we mask its meaning with a buzzword.
What's that? Quite simply, it's the rather grandiose label the media and the underground have applied to attempts to invade or damage a computer network for political or doctrinal reasons.
It is an attractive form of vandalism. You can do it in the privacy of your own home, feeling safe and secure. Any half-decent computer science student can think up a few ways to crack a network — and you really don't even need knowledge, just a good hacking application. "Script Kiddies," as these tool-lien hackers are called, can break into a carelessly secured server with relative ease. It's a natural sort of crime for college students to gravitate to.
There is no romance attached to people who spray-paint crude slogans. The hacker, on the other hand, is often portrayed as a sort of mythic figure. And if we don't like his target, we often cheer him on. This is a mistake.
Fred Phelps is, in my opinion, a hateful, dim, malignant little pimple of a man. However, he does have the right to put up a Web site stating his opinion. Even when it happens to be, in the eyes of many people, offensive. The First Amendment was not created to protect popular opinions. The man has a right to air his views, just as I have the right to mock those views in print.
This is a bit of a fringe issue at the moment, but it's growing. Much of the world now depends on computers; their involvement in our lives will only grow as we enter the new millennium. And hacktivism will likely make headlines with increasing frequency.
Just remember that censorship, vandalism and terrorism don't suddenly become OK because you use a computer to perform them. Such acts are wrong. Even when aimed at the likes of Saddam and Fred.
In short, hackers going after the enemy could get people killed when the enemy retaliates. Terrorism is never a good idea because your target tends to respond in kind.
The attack on his site was vandalism aimed at stifling his right to speak, and I condemn it. Electronic vandalism has been on the rise recently, and I expect it will continue to flourish. It's a bit frightening in a way. During the recent U.S. bombing of Iraq, a group of hackers gathered on an IRC channel (a sort of virtual meeting space) and decided to launch their own private war against Saddam. The meeting, ably covered and documented by security clearinghouse AntiOnline, impressed two things upon me — that these people weren't terribly stable and that they probably could make good on at least some of their plans. It was the first terrorist planning session I've ever sat in on.
They were eventually persuaded to call off the war by respected members of the hacker community.
So who cares? Good for them if they can give Saddam problems, right?

Construction on garage slows route to campus
By Michael Terry writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The completion of the new $10 million parking garage is just 11 months away, but for some students the end of the construction's inconvenience cannot come soon enough.
Eric Reed, Topeka junior, said that he walked to class every day from his Berkeley Flats apartment at 1123 Indiana St.
Before devising an alternate route, Reed had to deal with the construction.
"Mississippi Street has become a dangerous place to walk to class during certain times of the day," he said. "The garage's construction has spilled over onto the sidewalk, which is causing students to walk in the streets more than usual."
Reed said that instead of dealing with the traffic every time he had to go up to the Kansas Union, he started taking the long way around to avoid any possibility of getting hit.
The east side of Mississippi Street, the only side that has a sidewalk, now has a substantial stretch removed and blocked by a chain link fence.
Students who do not want to walk in the street have go down to the Memorial Stadium parking lot or go up to Oread Avenue instead.
Gerardo Delatorre, Douglas,
Ariz., graduate student, said that
it was not just the construction
causing the problems but also the
careless driving of some students
and faculty.
"I see people just like me walking up towards the Union, and cars will come rushing by within a few feet of hitting them," Delatorre said. "I think something needs to be done to alleviate this problem before someone gets hurt."
Reed said he believed that one of the problems was that there was no posted speed limit from 11th Street on up to the Union.
Donna Hultine, assistant director for the parking department, said that she was not aware of any students on Mississippi Street having to walk in the street because of the ongoing construction.
"I haven't been by the site lately, but I haven't had students say anything to me about the construction being a problem," she said.
Sgt. Troy Mailen said that the KU Public Safety Office also had not received any complaints about the sidewalk being removed or of people speeding down Mississippi Street,
"We try to keep officers in that area patrolling on a regular basis, but you can't be everywhere all the time." Mailen said.
John Brandt, Bayonne, N.J., senior, said that he drove to campus every day from Kansas City, Mc., and that he had noticed the extra pedestrian traffic on Mississippi Street.
"There's nothing that can really be done now about the sidewalk," Brandt said. "I think drivers and pedestrians just need to take a little extra time and watch what they're doing so nobody winds up getting hurt."

Bud pours funds into Saferide
By Chris Borniger
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Anheuser-Busch gives $1,000 to program
Saferide has a $130,000 budget to operate the cars it uses to ferry students home from bars or parties where alcohol is present. Compared with that, $1,000 isn't very much.
But when Saferide received a $1,000 check this week from Anheuser-Busch, brewer of Budweiser beer, it came as a surprise to Ben Walker, transportation board chairman.
"I was ecstatic." he said. "It's really just a drop in the bucket, but I think it's a great gesture on Budweiser's part. If that money gets one person home safely, it was definitely worth it."
Holly Krebs, director of KU on Wheels, said that two years ago Saferide ran out of money before the end of the year and had to cease operations.
While seeking funds this summer to help support Saferide, Walker, legislative director of Student Legislative Awareness Board, was unable to secure any federal or state grants.
"People tend to be skeptical of using public funds for what they think is a tipsy taxi." Walker said.
As a result, he said, he turned to private businesses. Local bars offered support, but Walker declined because they wanted free advertising on Saferide vehicles in return. In June, Classic Eagle Distributing, local distributor for Anheuser-Busch, offered to make a donation without any advertising
"We think Saferide is a great way to get people home safely," said Kirk Lambright, Classic Eagle administrative manager. "The whole industry has a responsibility to make sure that our product is not abused and nobody gets in an accident as a result."
Lambrecht said that Classic Eagle donated at least $10,000 each year to safe-drinking programs. He said that Anheuser-Busch had donated about $200 million to similar programs and activities since 1982.
Krebs said the source of the donation was particularly special.
"It's great for them to recognize that they're a distributor of alcohol, and with that they can help people," she said.
Krebs also said she hoped the donation would influence other companies to contribute.
"Hopefully, this is the beginning of a trend," she said. "If we're able to accrue more financial support, we can expand the program."
Krebs said the money probably would cover operating costs for one of the seven cars that runs on weekends.
Walker said if he secured more funding, he would consider adding another phone line or another dispatcher to make sure more calls were answered. Since the 1994-1995 school year, Safefera has received more than 10,000 calls each year.
Krebs said, "If Saferide saves one student's life in its entire existence, that's made up for everything that's been put into it."
Safer roads for cyclists suggested
By Derek Prater
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The Compatibility Index report, developed by TranSystems, a national traffic consulting firm, identifies five stretches of road that are immediately practical for the addition of bicycle lanes. The report, as well as the Draft Bicycle Work Program, a comprehensive plan for bicycle facilities, was presented to the Lawrence City Commission on Tuesday night.
The gust of traffic-blown wind that whips across the backs of bicyclists may become softer on several Lawrence streets if the suggestions made in the Bicycle Compatibility Index report take effect.
Aaron Bartlett, city transportation planner, said that the Compatibility Index report began in the summer of 1998 after repeated requests from citizens to the Bicycle Advisory Committee to investigate adding bicycle lanes to Lawrence streets.
The report focused on 11 streets that were either commonly asked about by citizens or identified by the committee as good possibilities.
23rd Street; Louisiana Street, from 19th Street to 31st Street; Vermont Street, from Seventh Street to 11th Street; 15th Street, from Kentucky Street to the east city limits; and 19th Street, from Massachusetts Street to the east city limits.
Joanna Griffin, Wichita junior, rides her bicycle to get to classes and when she goes downtown. She said she thought adding bicycle lanes would be a good idea.
"I don't feel comfortable riding on the streets because the cars don't pay attention," she said. "It would encourage people to ride their bikes more and feel more safe."
Bicycle lanes are deemed warranted and practical for Naismith Drive, from Irving Hill Road to
Bike lanes feasible for five city streets
Bartlett said that the reports focused on the downtown area and the University of Kansas campus because many students ride bicycles in those areas.
"Almost every college town like Lawrence has a high population of people who like to walk and bike," he said.
The compatibility index report and the work program look to develop a bicycle network that takes into account three types of bicycle facilities: recreation paths, bicycle lanes and streets that are more suitable for bicyclists.
Bartlett said that planning with all three in mind would make a better plan than simply adding bicycle lanes.
Facilities aren't the only issue either, Bartlett said.
BIKE LANES NEEDED
"It comes down to both infrastructure and attitudes," he said.
The Bicycle Compatibility Index report indicated that five stretches of road in Lawrence are in need of bicycle lanes.
Naismith Drive: from Irving Hill Road to 23rd Street
Louisiana Street: from 19th Street to 31st Street
Vermont Street: from 7th Street to 11th Street
15th Street: from Kentucky
19th Street: to Massachusetts Street: to the east city limits
Sherlock the East city limits
19th Street: from Massachusetts
Street to the east city limits
Educating residents about sharing the road and bicycle safety are as important as improving facilities, Bartlett said.
Bartlett said that Lawrence probably already met the standards set by the Bicycle Federation of America to be considered a "bicycle-friendly" community but that the real issue was what residents think. He said that the compatibility index report and the work program had the city on its way to making it a better place for bicyclists.
The city commission sent the the compatibilityindex and the work program to the Traffic Safety Commission for comment. The traffic commission won't be able to evaluate the reports until October, so the city commission won't see its evaluation until at least November, Bartlett said.

Freebies, debt may await students
Credit card rates sometimes tricky on applications
TE VISA
By Amanda Kashube writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Amid the promises of free T-shirts and candy looms the future of debt and sleepless nights. The credit card vendors have returned to the campus, eagerly awaiting students who walk by their tables.
Although some students may seem intimidated or afraid of the negative consequences of signing up for a credit card, the educated student can find the cards to be useful.
Deanne Schurer, manager at the KU Credit Union, 3400 W. Sixth St., said that students needed to be aware of the small print on credit card forms.
"Talk to someone who can explain everything to you," she said. "Make sure you ask the questions because they may not volunteer all the information you need."
Schurer said that there were several items to check before applying for a card.
First, look at the rate companies will charge per month. Schurer said that some cards might have a low introductory rate but would increase that rate the next month.
There are two types of rates students can shop for, a variable rate or a fixed rate. Schurer said the KU Credit Union operated on a variable rate.
"You need to look at when the rate will adjust and when it will increase," she said. "If it's a variable rate, look at the history of the company to see how the rates were."
Jennifer Leong, St. Louis freshman, applied for a GTE Visa card with a variable rate.
"I just signed up for it because I wanted the free T-shirt," she said. "I'll probably throw the card away."
Another important aspect of credit cards is the amount of extra fees tacked on to the balance.
Some cards have an annual fee, meaning users must pay an additional rate every month. Also, some companies may have

CREDIT CARD SHOPPING
1. Interest rate, Is it a variable or fixed rate? Is there a low introductory rate and then a higher rate the next month?
2. Is there an annual fee?
Are there any extra hidden fees?
3. Is there a grace period for paying off the balance?
4. How high is the credit limit? A large limit may seem nice, but can you pay it all off?
5. Talk to someone educated about credit cards before applying such as a bank, another credit card company or even mom or dad.
Source: KU Credit Union
"If you are going to keep a balance on your credit card, you may want a grace period," Schurer said. "But, if you're going to pay it all off, you don't need one."
Schurer said students should shop around for cards to see which one was best for them.
"One card may give you a really high limit to begin with and you think that's great," she
said. "But, can you handle the payments? This is your first chance to establish good credit."
For those students who fall into the trap of bad credit early on, their chance of borrowing money later in life could be slim.
"We try to educate students and our members about credit so it doesn't happen," she said.
Don Lee, a vendor of the Alumni Association Visa card, was handing out information sheets to students who passed by him in the Kansas Union.
"Obviously, students are a good source of new people for credit cards," he said. "It's easier to establish credit now than after you get out of school."
Andy Priestman, a marketing representative for the GTE Visa, said he signed up 777 students on Wednesday. He said as long as students were aware of the responsibilities credit cards could bring, they would be OK.
"Every college kid should have one to start their credit history," he said. "And plus, they get a free T-shirt so they don't have to do their laundry so often."
Even though the vendors seem to take over the Union and other areas of campus, they do have their boundaries.
"Talk to someone who can explain everything to you.Make sure you ask the questions because they may not volunteer all the information you need."
Deanne Schurer KU Credit Union manager
Mike Reid, manager of the Union Bookstore, said vendors must follow the policies of the University.
"They have to have a sign displayed saying who they are sponsored by, they have to stay behind their table and they can't yell at students who walk by," he said. "The yelling is our biggest concern."
Reid said a more formal policy list might be drawn in the future.
But for the time being, students will just have ignore the relentless shouts of free T-shirts and other promises.
"If they really annoy you, you can just choose to ignore them," Leong said.

Bands duel to a tie despite axed fest
Only Eight Degrees from song to scream
By Emily Hughey writer @kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A crowd of males mills around the knee-high stage at The Bottleneck. The men nod their heads as Aaron Lambotte croons into the microphone. The tempo builds, the nodding intensifies and bodies start to jerk. Most of the women scoot back. Lambette's slow moan becomes a scream and the crowd erupts into a mosh pit, throwing, pushing and kicking until the screaming stops and the tempo slows again.
Lambotte, the lead singer of Eight Degrees, jumps around the stage while guitarist Erik Francis violently shudders, trance-like, to the music.
"We broke our backs out there."
Francis said after the show. "I'm
going to be hurting in the morning."
But he knows he'll have to recover by Monday.
Despite the Jayhawk Music Festival's cancellation, the battle of the bands continued Tuesday night at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St. Instead of competing for a spot in the festival, the six bands were vying for a performance at 7 p.m. Sunday at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. Topeka band Eight Degrees tied with Six Percent for first place.
Francis and Lambotte said they thought the reason they won was because they had a unique style that they called rap-core, a style they compared to Limp Bizkit but with more singing as opposed to screaming.
"It kind of separates us." Lambotte said. "You see a lot of rap and screaming coming together but you don't often see singing coming together with rap."

Six Percent burns its way to first place

good supporters, and I thank them."
"We're just happy people are out here to support live music," said Six Percent's lead singer Fish, also known as Erik Cargill, after the show Tuesday at The Bottleneck. "I'm happy they're there. They're very
Although Cargil said he thought Six Percent gave a good performance, which he filled with toe-touch jumps, he admitted that the amount of fans present impacted the votes. Why else did Six Percent win?
"Because we paid off the most people," Cargill said, laughing. "But it could've been the fire. I'll be honest. It is kind of how many fans you have. But at the same time, a lot of other bands get a lot of exposure. Everybody got some exposure tonight."
Along with Six Percent, other competing bands included Effigy,
Lushbox, Podstar and the Ravguns.
Cargill said he was disappointed in the cancellation of the Jayhawk Music Festival, but he said any chance to perform was welcome.
"We're happy either way," Cargill said. "We're kind of bummed that Jayhawk Music Festival got canceled, but we're just happy to play either way."
Meatless choices grow in Lawrence
Edited by Mike Loader
By Amber Steuver writer@kansan.com Kansas staff writer
"Probably 20 years ago, if you went out and said you were a vegetarian you'd get, 'Well, we have a salad,'" said Chuck Magerl, owner of Free State Brewery, 636 Massachusetts St.
Lawrence restaurants are offering a wider variety of animalfriendly dishes to a larger population of vegetarians, said restaurant owners and local vegetarians.
"Anymote, it's generally served as a regular part of the din
Ann Chapman, registered dietitian at Watkins Memorial Health Center, who eats very little meat, said she thought Lawrence restaurants had improved options on nutrition equipment.
"I think they do a lot better job than they did even two to three years ago," Chapman said. "I find it easy to eat out in Lawrence and get a vegetarian meal."
Lought Lawrence restaurants had improved options for vegetarian customers.
cheese ucts. ma she
Magerl that about 25 percent of Free State's menu was vegetarian friendly, offering a variety of salads and appetizers as well as black bean quesadillas, ravioli marinara, roasted pepper focaccia, the garden burger and others.
Local restaurants of every type boast much of the same. Uno's Pizzeria, 3333 Ilu Sta., offers salads, grilled veggie wraps, and goes beyond the normal cheese pizza with choices such as spinocoli pizza, featuring spinach and broccoli.
El Mezcal, 1819 W. 23rd St., offers four vegetarian combinations including chalupas, cheese enchiladas and bean burritos.
Pachamama's, 2161 Quail Creek Dr., offers at least one vegetarian main entree for dinner and a variety of meatless salads and pastas. Pachamama's, as well as
other restaurants, said their chefs were happy to adjust their dishes to accommodate vegetarians.
"We cater to vegetarians extremely well," said John Rosanova, Pachamama's owner. "If there's a customer who has a special diet, we'll create a special meal."
For vegetarians whose restrictions go beyond meat, poultry and fish, options may be harder to find at some restaurants.
Strict vegetarians, known as vegans, exclude all animal products including meat, milk cheese and other dairy products. For vegans, a meal may be more difficult to find since a cheese pizza or egg and cheese omelette won't suffice. Chapman said that some foods such as gravy and refried beans are cooked in lard, or animal fat, which a vegan may also want to avoid.
Adrienne Graham, Lincoln,
Neb., sophomore, has been a vegetarian since she was 12 years old. However, Graham said that she has had few problems finding restaurants that cater to vegetarians and that Lawrence offered even more than other cities.
"Most places, even steak houses, have a vegetarian meal," Graham said. "I really don't have any problems at all trying to find things here."
Graham said she appreciated places such as the Glass Onion, 624 W.12th St. General manager Nicholas Beck said the Glass Onion's menu was about threequarters vegetarian. He said the Glass Onion catered to vegetarians, who represent a growing percentage of Lawrence's student population.
"Vegarians need some place to eat," Beck said. "We want to give people some options."

Adventures in Rome...New York
commentary by carl kaminski * illustration by kyle ramsey
"It was a surreal sight. Fires burned in every direction and the so-called Peace Patrol were the first to take off running."
Student finds lack of peace and love at Woodstock '99
It took a little more than five hours to get to Rome, from New York City, but it took another four to get on Griffiss Park, the old air force base that was to be the site of Woodstock '99: "Three more days of peace, love and music."
My former roommate Brent had offered me an $80 ticket to go to Woodstock, which was a good deal—about half the official ticket price.
We left Thursday evening after I returned from my iob in New York.
My first hint of what was to come occurred as we waited in a line of what seemed like a million other cars crawling along the last few miles of our journey to the concert.
A guy walking along the trail of halted vehicles came up to the side of my Jeep.
"You guys interested in some E?" he asked.
Brent looked at me.
"What's E?"
"Ecstasy," I told him.
"What's that?"
"I think it's kind of like speed. It's the drug everyone talks about at raves," I said.
I was about to tell the guy we weren't interested when Brent pulled out a bottle of Ritalin and asked him if he wanted to trade.
Then I noticed a police car coming down the road
"There's a cop up there," I said.
As the police car drove by, the guy pretended to sell us a T-shirt.
"I can't believe you just bought something you have never heard of," I said as Brent accepted several small white pills.
"It's Woodstock," he said.
Once we got there, we found a place to pitch our tents. I went to sleep. Brent decided it was a

wander around the festival.
I woke up about an hour later; someone was puking about three feet in front of me. Yeah, it was Woodstock.
The next morning Brent was nowhere to be found, so I headed out on my own.
I could not believe how big the place was. About a mile and half of runway lay between the two main stages. A third stage, located halfway between the others, was a converted B-52 hanger and provided the only shade in the whole place. And it was hot.
I wandered for a while, sampling a $10 burrito and a $4 bottle of water. I planned to hang on to the bottle and fill it at one of the water fountains scattered throughout the grounds.
At the first one I got to, there were two naked guys scrubbing themselves over the jets of water.
At the next one there was a huge mud fight. Water had spilled from the fountain and nearby portable toilets. It smelled like there was more in the flying mud than just mud.
I didn't fill up my bottle.
The first group I saw was the Roots. They were one of the weekend's highlights, playing with an energy that many of Woodstock's performers lacked.
I decided to buy another water
Finally, I was having fun.
Following the Roots was the Insane Clown Posse. I had never heard of them, but George Clinton and P-Funk were next, so I tried to get as close to the stage as possible. Nobody told me that they were going to soak the crowd with cola. I ended up with a black eye after negotiating the mosh pit, and I was sticky all over from the soda.
P-Funk better be worth it. I thought.
They were. We want the Funk must have lasted at least 45 minutes.
After P-Funk, I checked out the rave and headed back to the campsite. After about a two-hour nap, I woke and saw Brent sitting. He looked confused. He said he had spent all of Friday at the Jimi Hendrix exhibit watching a repeating 15-minute video of Hendrix at the original Woodstock. Eventually the drugs he had taken made him feel sick. He had found his way back to the tent and passed out.
While he recovered, I decided to find the showers.
When I came back, Brent was gone. A few guys by the tent told me he had taken a bunch of acid and headed back to the Hendrix exhibit.
What I found was one of the longest lines I had ever seen. After a three-hour wait in the baking sun, I managed to rinse off the cola.
"Have you noticed that everyone here insists on getting naked?" one of them said. "Not that I mind, but I have never seen so much nakedness."
He was right. Everywhere you looked there were people with interesting sunburns and others with cameras photographing it all.
At one spot, a group had gathered on top of a trailer while their friends below surrounded whonever they pointed out, and they wouldn't let them go without seeing some skin. It looked like sexual assault to me, but the girl's never seemed to mind.
Sunday started on a mellow note. I found Brent passed out on top of his tent. I told him if he wandered off and I couldn't find him, that I was going to leave without him. He told me he didn't feel good and that he wasn't going to do any more drugs. He already had spent $300 and still had not had a thing to eat.
We saw Willie Nelson give a great show on the east stage, and then made our way to the west stage and saw another great show when Rusted Root took the stage.
Later, the Red Hot Chili Peppers came out and played a great, if abbreviated, show followed by a lame Jimi Hendrix light show tribute.
Small fires had been blazing the night before, but this time they got out of control.
Then things got crazy.
The promoters were right when they said a small group started the trouble, but at least a couple thousand got into the mix when things started rolling.
It was a surreal sight. Fires burned in every direction, and the so-called Peace Patrol were the first to take off running, being taunted as they went.
"Peace, love and music my ass!" cried a hysterical hipie as she ran after them.
The targets of the mayhem were the venders, those profiteers charging $55 and more for a T-Shirt and $10 for a burrito.
I sat and watched as the mob tore apart stands and threw anything they could find onto the nearest fire. In the distance you could see police trying to get through the melee.
After the first trailer exploded, I decided to head for the campsite.
brent, in his wisdom, took all the acid and cestasy he had, and left.
"I have to experience this," he said.
Back at the camp, rumors ran rampant. According to the guys next door, 10 people were dead, and the riot police were beating innocent bystanders.
As it turned out, seven
people were arrested and nobody died.
But we didn't know that.
Eventually the explosions stopped, the fires were out and Brent returned.
We left Monday morning. Rather than being a defining moment, Woodstock '99 simply had been a huge party that went out of control.

Antonio Banderas takes up the scimitar in The 13th Warrior
By Dan Curry
Associate features editor
It takes 12 Norsemen and Antonio Banderas to save a kingdom from bearskin-clad marauders motivated by a bankering for Scandinavian hunks, in *The Thirteenth Warrior*.
In the film, Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan (Banderas) is a banished citizen of Baghdad who joins up with a band of warriors who kill each other at the dinner table and drink each other's backwash. The warriors are summoned by a kingdom plagued by "Eaters of the Dead," mysterious beings that feed on the flesh of the deceased.
But nothing—not Robin Hood, not Braveheart—can save this movie from being quickly forgettable.
Ibn the Moor is more-or-less in the same position as Morgan Freeman's character in Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves. Lightly repulsed with the culture he encounters, he nonetheless comes to appreciate the people in the north and manages to teach them a few things along the way. Banderas, pouting and silent through most of the movie, plays his part well, which is to be silent, scared and mildly critical. He gives him. The characters who
deceased. Although it may sound like a adaptation of 1954's The Seventh Samurai, It's not. It's more like a rip-off. And this is not the film's only offense.
His silence is what saves him. The characters who do speak—in a Norse tongue for the first half, English for the second—have lines that are unwaveringly
grave. The characters try to achieve an epic tone, but only succeed in sounding like Conan the Barbarian reciting Shakespeare.
Only one scenes stands out as being better than dispointing. Ibn sits around his comrade and listens to them speak in a language unintelligible to him and the audience. Slowly the words evolve into English as Ibn learns the language. Never mind that it takes Ibn one night to learn the whole tongue.
The rest of the movie is a poor reproduction of Braveheart's epic battles. Banderas and his golden-haired band do most of their swordplay at night, obscuring much of the physical entertainment of slaughtering monsters and men.
The only real tragic hero may be director John McTiernan (Die Hard). He furiously tries to keep the pace quick enough to keep people from seeing the movie for what it is: A bad Renaissance festival skit on steroids.

Wegner ready to fight the Irish
By Mike Miller
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Terry Allen doesn't want a quarterback controversy before the season begins.
And especially not before the Kansas football team travels to South Bend, Ind., to play Notre Dame tomorrow.
Long before the season began, Allen declared that incumbent quarterback Zac Wegner had the job.
"People have been up and down and all over Zac since he's been here," Allen said. "Wegner is our heir apparent, the returning starter and captain. He's still the leader of the offense and he's thrown the ball well."
"I're really just want to take my first hit and get that out of the way." Wegner said. "Everybody's making a bigger deal out of it than it really ought to be. I just want to be like, 'I'm normal, I'm back,' so every-
But, careful to not limit his options, Allen said he wouldn't hesitate to use junior college transfer Dylan Smith in case the offense stalls against Notre Dame.
"It probably scares (Coach) Bob Davie and me, the offensive line," he said.
Now, he just wants to forget about his head and play football.

I just want to be normal, I'm back,' so everybody else can chill out."
Everybody can chill out if Wegner's health holds up and the Jayhawks can counter Notre Dame's depth.

It's finally here.
"We're confident to be playing a conference game the first game of the season," Francis said. "We feel pretty comfortable where we are at right now. As far as the team goes, we'll take anybody on."
While most of campus is anticipating tomorrow's Kansas football game at Notre Dame, there will be another game of importance this weekend. At 4 p.m. today at Super Target Field, the Kansas women's soccer team will kick off its regular season with a Big 12 Conference game against Colorado.
The game signifies the beginning of a new era for the Jayhawks as they play their first regular season game under new coach Mark Francis.
The Jayhawks will be facing a Colorado team that placed eighth in the Big 12 last year, winning only two conference games. That team was led by All-Big 12 goalkeeper Sloane Cox, who since has graduated. The Buffaloes return 16 players from last year's roster, but they have a lot of question marks at many positions. They lack a set group of starting forwards, and they have shifted about their midfield.
The only set position is the defense, which looks to be Colorado's strength. Three starters

Volleyball matchup will pit 11 alumnae against current team
By Shawn Hutchinson
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
That's when to 25 former players will return to Lawrence to challenge the current assortment of Jayhawks to an alumnae match. The match is scheduled for 6 p.m. Saturday at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center and is free. Of the 25 alumnae, 11 will participate in the match.
The Jayhawk volleyball team will get a slight blast from the past this weekend.
Among those alumnae—1988 Jayhawks Laura Rohde, Moira Donovan and Leslie Berens, who had played under her maiden name Purkepyile.
Kansas coach Ray Bechard said he would use the match as a tune-up for the Jayhawks season opener Wednesday against Missouri-Kansas City at the Horejsi Center, the team's new $3.8 million facility.
"We'll get a chance to work on some stuff, but we want to involve our alumni a little bit more than we have in the past." Bechard said.
Bechard said the format would be a best three-out-of-five game match with officials, line judges and scorers.
The festivities will begin at 4 p.m., with a check-in and tour of the Horejsi Center, and warm-ups will begin at 5 p.m. A social immediately will follow the match.
"That's really neat for a lot of them to come," said Jayhawks senior defensive specialist Kristi Kiyabu about the returning alumnae. "We're going to get to show them around the new facility, and I think it'll be a good time for everyone."
Other volleyball notes:
— Sophomore middle blocker Elizabeth Herkeb will be a redshirt this season. Herkeb, who played in just one match in her freshman campaign, is suffering from a nagging back injury that would have severely limited her playing time.
— Freshman walk-on Jennifer Kraft will play for the Jayhawks this season after all. Kraft, a defensive specialist, originally was scheduled to be a redshirt this season, but now will take Herbek's place on the roster.
— Senior middle blocker Anné Kreimer may miss the season opener against UMKC. Kreimer continues to rehabilitate the anterior crucible ligament in her right knee, which she tore during spring drills. Junior college transfer Danielle Geronymo and sophomore Crystal Walker are both candidates to fill in for Kreimer at the beginning of the season.

Commentary
Jayhawks of today don't have to face Notre Dame of old
This is no time to watch Rudy.
For the next three days, the Kansas football team must denounce Catholicism, forget about Touchdown Jesus, and, for heaven's sake, not watch the premium TV channels or head to Blockbuster.
Many Jayhawks could see themselves as Rudy. Some are walk-on;s, a handful are overachievers, and Kansas is such a long-shot Saturday that landing someone on Mars by kickoff is looking more plausible in comparison.
This is no time to lose the feel-good, inspirational movie starring Sean Astin, the kid from Goonies, that tells the biography of Rudy Ruettiger. Ruettiger, of course, was the low-talent Indiana boy who fulfills his dream of playing for Notre Dame in his final game at Notre Dame Stadium after surviving four years as a walk-on.
"I've seen it," said wide receiver Michael Chandler about *Rudy*. "But it's not something we're going to watch."
Kansas has enough to think about before tomorrow's clash with Notre Dame — and South Bend, Ind. will be quick to offer reminders. The Jayhawks will take a tour of the College Football Hall of Fame, where they will be force-fed the Four Horseman, Knute Rockne, the Golden Dome and NBC, the official network of Notre Dame football.
The fabled coach Rockne died in Kansas in a plane crash. While that was sad, this state should take this opportunity to wreck the Irish again. This is not the same program Rockne ran. Bob Davie, Notre Dame's third-year coach, is far from legendary, and Notre Dame simply isn't that good. Kansas can win this game. But only if it can forget history.
Notre Dame loves to indulge itself in its legacy. The media guide has hundreds of pages devoted to the Notre Dame mystique. There are wonderful biographies on Joe Montana, Raghbil Ismail and — I couldn't make this up if I tried — William Shakespeare.
Sorry, Shakespeare. The past has parted. The old names sound terrific, but how do Jarious Jackson, Tony Driver and Bobby Brown sound? About as threatening as California State-Northridge or a bad 1980s ran group — take your pick.
Notre Dame hates to talk about the present and the future. Currently, the Irish are very typical. Notre Dame is just another program stuck amid booster allegations. The Irish are average at most positions. Jackson, the team's quarterback and biggest Jayhawk threat, threw six interceptions last year.
Its running back, Driver, tallied 125 yards in 1988 while playing mostly defense, and the wide receivers are nonexistent. No ca joling from Davie about the Gipper will turn their receivers into threats.
Notre Dame loves the nostalgia of '66, "77 and '88, past national championship years. Not much is being said about 1999 because Irish eyes can see that the Pope might have better moves than most of the returning Irish.
Kansas coach Terry Allen knows what awaits his team. There will be goose bumps and spine tingles. Somebody is likely to vomit before kickoff. But Allen also knows that playing Notre Dame isn't Kansas' biggest problem.
"The most difficult task isn't playing Notre Dame," Allen said, "but playing them in South Bend."
There is no pressure being laid on Kansas. The Jayhawks are expected to be thumped, but happily so because the school is making a large profit from playing in the Eddie Robinson Classic and because Notre Dame's fans carry the arrogance that their stadium is a shrine nobody can resist visiting.
Allen said at Tuesday's press conference that he couldn't help but recognize the irony that *Rudy* has played on several premium channels the past couple of weeks.
Allen wasn't watching. The only video Allen's team has been watching was of the current Irish, who are nothing like the past.

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 7.
Today, you're in the mood for love, maybe because of the close proximity of an attractive person. There seems to be a bit of resistance, however. How can you overcome it? Well, the flowers and candy could work again, but maybe this time you ought to try something different. Listen, listen, listen.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
Your friends are there for you, whenever you need them. That's a safe bet because you make new friends when you need them, too. Today, you might be there for somebody else. A friend is up against a deadline that might not get me. You can help simply by taking some of the pressure off. You knows? Miracles could happen.
Gemini: Today is an 8.
This is a good day to draw up your lesson plan. Even if you're not a teacher, it doesn't hurt to know what you're going to do next. A plan helps you get from here to there with grace and ease. Besides, you'll need to present a plan to somebody else to get approval. And another thing, today you'll LOVE writing. You might pop out a short story, too.
Speaking of being rich, you could come up with a brilliant plan soon. You might even figure out a way to battle good feelings, or something that causes them. You're most likely more interested in love than business, but do write down an idea that comes to you. If you don't have a note pad with you, a dinner napkin will do fine.
Leo: Today is a 5.
Today, it might all come together. You'll be thinking about something completely irrelevant when the answer will come to you. The reason everybody's been so hard to manage lately is, well, they're jealous of your talent! And, for some of them, that might be true. They're the ones to watch out for, definitely.
Virgo: Today is a 6.
Your life should look a little brighter today. You and your mate most likely had a good conversation recently. Sometimes, it's hard for you to talk about what you've been thinking. If you didn't get it all out, try again tonight. Conditions are even more favorable for heart-to-heart conversations.
Libra: Today is a 6.
Scorpio: Today is an 8.
Finally, everything will make sense. Well, almost everything. Information you didn't have will fill in some of the blanks. A conversation with a friend who's been closer to the top would certainly help. You haven't heard the final story yet, though. Keep listening.
Sagittarius: Today is an 8.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
Your boss should be in a pretty good mood today.
Want a raise? More benefits? Watch for the right time to bring up the topic. Your hunches should be pretty good today, so rely on them. That ought to work for you in romance, too. The person you’re most attracted to now wants to do whatever you want. Just the way you like it!
CAMERA
Take a moment to tell that special someone how much you care. Actually, this could be the mailman who never mixes your mail up with the neighbors'. Or it could be someone who always gives you a cheerful 'Hi! Howyadain?'"
That person who's been giving you grief might say something really nice. This is why you should never make once-and-forall decisions about people if you can possibly avoid it. That doesn't allow them any room to change. If you kind of forget how they've been, it helps them improve. Give that a try today.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
R
LIVING A LION
Pisces: Today is a 7.
You still have time to work on your wish. It's more likely to come true today anyway. That just points out how you can't take setbacks too seriously. Everything might look dismal one day but turn out fine the next. You're in charge of faith, so you know that.
You and your mate should spend some quiet time together soon. This weekend may be too hectic. An evening at home's ticket. If you don't share a home, then a nice restaurant might do. Some things have to be worked out in a private setting. You've heard each other's arguments. Now, it's time for the compromises.

Randy Johnson breaks season strikeout record
MIAMI—Randy Johnson reached 300 strikeouts in a season yesterday faster than any pitcher, achieving the milestone against the Florida Marlins in his 29th start.
The previous best was Pedro Martinez, who reached 300 in 31 starts in 1997.
Johnson achieved the record with his eighth strikeout against Florida's Kevin Millar, ending the fifth inning.
Johnson, only the third pitcher to reach 300 strikeouts three times, also reached the mark in 1993 and 1998. The milestone has been achieved 28 times by 14 pitchers, including Nolan Ryan, who did it a record six times.

Chiefs first-round pick may re-enter NFL draft
SALT LAKE CITY—Offensive tackle John Tait, the first-round draft choice of the Kansas City Chiefs and the 14th overall pick, might sit out the season and re-enter the draft next year.
Tait, who left Brigham Young after his junior year, told The Salt Lake Tribune he would rather miss the 1999 season than sign a deal he considered undesirable.
"It's an option," Tait said. Tait emphasized he had not made a decision. With negotiations at a standstill, he said: "If this thing goes into the season, we definitely have to make some big decisions."
Kansas City reportedly has offered a five-year contract, but Bait wants the right to cancel the final season if he meets incentives.
Carl Peterson, Chiefs general manager, rejected the proposal for voidable years after Tait missed most of training camp. News reports have described Tait's performance at two Chiefs mini-camps as poor.
Tait decided to skip his senior year, partly because at 24 he was becoming old for a rookie by NFL standards.
Tait was drafted higher than any BYU player since quarterback Jim McMahon was taken fifth overall in 1982 by the Chicago Bears.
Neil Smith fighting for spot on Denver defense
DENVER — Neil Smith rubbed his chin and tried to remember the last time he was fighting for a job.
"I can't even remember," Smith said Wednesday as he prepared for practice with the Denver Broncos. "Can't even recall, to be honest with you."
Smith's memory lapse is understandable. The 33-year-old defensive end was a collegiate star at Nebraska and has been to six Pro Bowls in 11 NFL seasons with Kansas City and Denver.
Age, injuries and youthful competition, however, are taking their toll. He missed two games with a torn triceps in 1997, and an abdominal strain kept Smith out of the final two rames last season.

on the bubble because the Broncos have talented young players such as Montae Reagor and David Bowens, both 22.
But Smith doesn't plan to fail. Energized and healthy, he said he would seek employment with another team if the Broncos cut him before the season begins Sept. 13.

"It's their first game, they haven't played yet, they're coming to our home field." Francis said. "Our game plan is to put them under as much pressure as we can right from the beginning of the game and not give them any time to get into any kind of rhythm."
Even though they already played an exhibition game, a 7-0
the Jayhawks are not going to take this for granted.
"Any of the Big 12 teams are going to be good," Francis said. "It's going to be a little bit different scenario than we had Monday as far as how much pressure they're going to put on us."
Kansas delivered a complete performance on both offense and defense Monday, launching 49 shots and holding Park College to just one. The team also felt that
although its exhibition was a good warm-up, it wasn't fully tested.
"We still really haven't been tested as a defense or as a team just yet, so we look forward to it," said Emma Di Cesare, junior midfielder.
The Jayhawks play Wyoming at 1 p.m.Sunday on Super Target Field. Wyoming enters its fifth season with a tally of only eight total wins. The Cowgirls defeated Kansas 1-0 in overtime at last year's season finale.

Lacrosse club growing, improving
By Jason Walker sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's lacrosse club is gearing up for what poses to be one of the most successful years in its history. Only one player from last year's squad isn't on this year's version, and the players' hopes are high for a successful season.
"We should do really well," said Laura Lavid, Lorton, Va., junior and team treasurer. "And we have a lot of prospective players who want to join. We want to have enough people for a really good-sized team."
Lacrosse is played on an area about the size of a football field, with 12 players on the field at once. The idea is to move a solid rubber ball about 3 inches in diameter down the field using sticks with nets on the end. These sticks, called crosses, are about 3 feet long and the nets, or heads, are about 6 inches by 10 inches. The women pass the ball to each other and try to score into a goal that is about 6-foot square.
Sport of the Week
Coach Dave Wiley said that lacrosse was unique because the basic concept was so broad.
"It combines so many different elements from different sports," he said. "You never get bored. It involves a lot of individual creativity, but at the same time is a complete team sport."
Wiley said that while lacrosse was not as popular in the Midwest as it was on the East and West coasts, it slowly was growing in popularity.
" T he Denver and St. Louis areas tend to produce people who have played before."
"There seem to be pockets of people with lacrosse experience," he said.
But Wiley said another reason lacrosse was unique was because players didn't need to be experienced to play it.
"It's like learning how to ride a bike," he said. "Once you learn it,
you get comfortable and don't have a problem. We try to get everyone's skills to a level that they are confident enough to go one-on-one with someone."
Jessica Kibbe, Osage City junior and club president, said that she had never played lacrosse before she heard about it and thought she would give it a try.
"After about two weeks of practice I was pretty comfortable with it," she said. "You just have to be willing to learn and have hand-eye coordination, you don't have to be a great athlete. It's a great way to stay active."
WOMEN'S LACROSSE
For more information about the lacrosse team, call Laura Lavid at 749-0076 or Jessica Kibbe at 841-7011. The team's Web site is located at www.geocities.com/CollegePark/Field /3225.
Last year, the team joined a nationwide league of 35 schools, in a division with Missouri, Truman State, Illinois and Knox College (Ill). Wiley said that he didn't think that kind of competition should be saved for just the varsity sports teams at Kansas.
"Everyone should have an opportunity to crush Missouri," he said. "Not just the basketball team."
The top two teams from each division qualify for the playoffs. Last year, Kansas took third.
"We lost by one goal in the tournament to Missouri," Kibbe said. "That was not fun."
The Kansas women don't play teams only in their league, however. Lavid said one of the highlights of last year was a trip to Madison, Wis., to play in a tournament held by the University of Wisconsin.

team even had a barbecue for us. It is so fun to travel."
"It's cool to go to places I might not otherwise visit," she said. "We also went to the University of Illinois last year. You get to meet a lot of new people."
The team is going to start practice next week and plans on meeting about three times a week. While the main season is in the spring, the team does play matches in the fall.
Lavid said she wanted lacrosse to become popular and enjoyed being part of educating people about the game itself.
"To see one person get excited about it is enough for me," she said. "I want to see the sport grow." Lavid also explained why she enjoys the action so much.
"When you finally get good and make that great pass or block someone's shot," she said. "It's a total rush."

Dolphins receiver acquitted in drug case
The Associated Press
MIAMI — Miami Dolphins receiver Tony Martin was acquitted yesterday of money laundering and conspiracy charges stemming from his longtime friendship with a drug dealer.
Jurors deliberated for almost 17 hours before finding the Pro Bowl receiver not guilty of four federal counts of laundering drug money on behalf of Rickey Brownlee and one count of conspiracy to hide drug proceeds.
"It was all or nothing, and my whole career was flashing before me as I sat there." Martin said outside the courthouse following the verdict. "This is a lot of weight off my shoulders, and I'm just looking forward to playing Saturday and having a good game."
If convicted, Martin could have faced three to five years in prison.
Brownlee was found guilty on all of the money laundering charges and convicted of possessing heroin or cocaine with the intent to distribute and conspiracy to possess and distribute.
The verdict leaves Martin free to play this season with the Dolbhins.
The team signed him to a four-year, $14.2 million contract in April after he was cut by the Atlanta Falcons. But Martin collected only $150,000 of a $3.3 million signing bonus, with the remainder pending the trial's outcome.
Coach Jimmy Johnson and several players sat through opening arguments to show their support for Martin, and quarterback Dan Marino took the stand as a character witness.
Prosecutors alleged that Martin leased three cars in his name on behalf of Brownlee, who paid him back with cash. Martin also was accused of taking $100,000.
in cash to reimburse a check written to Brownlee's first lawyer.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
The government presented financial statements showing Martin, a nine-year
NFL veteran, each time deposited as much as $30,000 in cash into his account within days of leasing one of the cars. Documents also showed he never handled a large amount of cash until Brownlee was freed in 1993.
Jurors also heard Martin's voice on taped excerpts from jailhouse phone calls, discussing their efforts to retain a lawyer after Brownlee was arrested in January 1998.
"I ain't got no money in my account." Martin told Brownlee during one call.
"Man, you got to have that money somewhere," Brownlee replied.
Defense lawyers painted a scenario in which Martin, who has known Brownlee since childhood and calls him his uncle, simply was trying to help a friend who provided love and support when the receiver was growing up in Miami's inner city.
Brownlee's attorneys argued that their client made his money from the restaurant business, not drugs, and that any cash given to Martin was legally acquired.
"From day one, Tony Martin disclosed that Rickey Brownlee might be sharing this car," Srebnick said in his closing argument. "Is there anything wrong with that? The IRS can't tell him he can't lease a vehicle for an uncle who he loves."
Disputing IRS report allegations that Brownlee had acquired some $1.3 million in unexplained wealth, Brownlee's lawyers produced two ledgers showing two restaurants Brownlee operated had generated some $1.6 million in revenue in 21/2 years.
Nebraska quarterback may do double-duty on field
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska quarterback Bobby Newcombe said he took plenty of hits as an option quarterback. So what's the big deal about returning punts?
Newcombe said Wednesday that he was perfectly willing to field punts — a position that leaves the return man wide open for a nasty collision — for the No. 6 Cornhuskers this fall.
"That's a lot of fun," Newcombe said after Wednesday's practice, when he cleanly fielded all three punts that came his way.
Newcombe, battling Eric Crouch for the starting quarterback job.
said he wasn't worried about the knee injury that kept him out of seven of the Cornhuskers' 13 games last year. He is also apparently not worried about coverage players who get 40 yards to build up steam and level the return man just after he catches a punt.
Newcombe wouldn't be the first quarterback to do double-duty as a punt returner. Kansas' John Hadl did it in the 1960s, but it is an unlikely combination.
"There's always a risk involved," he said. "But there's a bigger risk playing quarterback than punt returner. Standing back in the pocket or throwing the ball on an
Newcombe did return punts two years ago when the Cornhuskers, who had Scott Frost starting at quarterback, were desperate to get the speedy freshman into the game. His 244 yards on 12 punt returns (20.3 yards per return) led the team as it went on to an undefeated season and a share of the national championship.
option play, you get hit every play.
But standing back on a punt
return, you're either giving a shot
or running with the ball."
Last season, Newcombe replaced Frost as the Cornhuskers' starting quarterback but tore a ligament in his knee and played in just six
games, sitting out the Cornhuskers' loss to Arizona in the Holiday Bowl. He said he was 100 percent and just wanted to be playing again.
Nebrasa coach Frank Solich said that he wouldn't rule out letting Newcombe return punts again but that he was stopping short of naming the 6-foot junior as his top returner.
"There's a lot of things to consider before we go forward with that kind of decision," Solich told reporters after practice
the frontrunner when Nebraska started practicing, but added Wednesday that no decision had been made. He expects to announce the starter early next week.
One is whether Newcombe or Crouch will be the Cornhuskers' starting quarterback when they open the season next Saturday at Iowa. Solich said Newcombe was
"I'd consider it," Solich said. "If he did return maybe two or some punts, I don't think you're putting him at that much risk."
Newcombe said defensive backs coach George Darlington had always joked — half seriously — about getting Newcombe returning punts again. Newcombe said he liked the idea and cleared it with Solich. But he wanted to make clear that he didn't want to be a defensive back.
New UNLV football coach confident about future season
The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — This time of year, John Robinson's thoughts usually turn to packed stadiums, great rivalries and the Rose Bowl.
But this year he's worrying about more mundane matters, such as whether there will be grass on the field when his UNLV football team plays its home opener.
"You know, they roll that grass out now in big 10-foot rolls, so I think it will be there and ready to play on," Robinson said. "If not, we'll be ready to play anyway."
It's not always easy starting again. But Robinson had an idea what he was in for when he signed to take over a team that hasn't won in its last 16 games.
Robinson has confidence the sod — part of
a stadium remodeling job — will be installed by the team's Sept. 18 home opener against Iowa State. He is almost as confident that he can turn UNLV's struggling football program around in the next few years.
He's been around football too long, though,
to promise it will be
to promise it will be right away
"We may not have a successful season," Robinson said. "But eventually, we will."
UNLV
last coaching job of Robinson's career may also be his most ambitious — remaking a Rebel football team that has languished for years in the
shadow of the school's basketball program.
He's getting major college money to do it — $350,000 a year for three years — but getting ready to open on the road Sept. 2 against North Texas isn't exactly like grooming USC to play Notre Dame.
"Sure, you'd love to play before 100,000 people in big games all the time, but that isn't the biggest deal," the 64-year-old Robinson said this week between final two-a-day practices. "I don't care about the surroundings as much as I care about being in the action." Getting back into the action was Robinson's big hope after being fired by USC after the 1977 season.
"In the western part of the United States, there's not a soul who doesn't know about John Robinson and the success he had," UNLV athletic director Charles Cavagnaro said. "It was, as far as I was concerned, a no-brainer."
Robinson faces no such problem at UNLV, where he was courted by school officials who thought a big-name coach might be just what the school needed to turn around a program that drew only a few thousand fans to home games last season.
Four Rose Bowl wins and a career record of 104-35-4 with USC and the Los Angeles Rams wasn't enough after the Trojans went
Robinson, who won the national championship at USC in 1978 and coached the Rams to two NFC championship games, said the more he looked at the UNLV job, the more he liked it.
San Antonio star Elliott goes home
SAN ANTONIO — Spurs forward Sean Elliott is out of the hospital and back home after a kidney transplant.
The Associated Press
The 31-year-old player now embarks on several weeks of recuperation before he'll know whether it is feasible to return to the NBA.

Elliott, a 10-year veteran who helped lead San Antonio to its
"Go Sean! Go!" onlookers cheered. Elliott signed autographs for hospital workers as he was discharged. On Tuesday, he provided a catered lunch for nurses involved in his operation.
first NBA championship in June, smiled and waved to a few fans as he left Methodist Specialty and Transplant Hospital on Wednesday.
He said that he was happy to be going home.
Noel Elliott, discharged Aug. 20, pushed his brother out of the hospital in a wheelchair on Wednesday.
Sean Elliott needed the transplant because of a condition known as focal segmental glomerular sclerosis. The illness prevents the kidneys from properly filtering waste from the blood.
Elliott had the transplant on Aug. 16, receiving a kidney donated by his 32-year-old brother, Noel, a sales associate in Arizona.
Without the transplant, Elliott was weeks away from having to undergo kidnev dialysis.
Another brief surgery was performed Saturday to make sure Elliott's new kidney was properly connected and working.
Elliott said he wanted to play again for the Spurs, although such a feat after a kidney transplant was believed to be unprecedented in major sports.
Francis Wright, his transplant surgeon, has not ruled out a comeback. Doctors said it could be two to three months before they knew whether a return was realistic.

American runner breaks 400-meter world record
The Associated Press
SEVILLE, Spain — Michael Johnson smashed the longest-standing men's track record last night, winning his fourth straight 400-meter gold medal at the World Championships with a clocking of 43.18.
It was an electrifying performance reminiscent of Johnson's spectacular record-setting 19.32 seconds in the 200 meters at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
Johnson shaved 0.11 seconds off the 11-year-old mark and destroyed the field at Seville's Estadio Olimpico. The record had been owned by fellow American Butch Reynolds, who ran 43.29 in Zurich Aug. 17, 1988.
"I knew the opportunity was there to get the world record because I'm in great shape," Johnson said. "It's a world championships and the motivation was there. I just wanted to make sure I
didn't mess up the opportunity."
But Johnson said he could run even faster.
"I can do better, you know," he said. "But it's a world record. I broke the world record in the 200 and then shattered it. I think I can do the same thing in the 400.
"With the kind of shape I'm in, I know I can run 42 seconds. I refuse to believe I can't do that."
PETER PARKER
It was only the second time in 31 years that the 400 record has been broken, Lee Evans'
Johnson: Believes he can run the race even faster.
record of 43.86, set at the 1968 Mexico Olympics,
stood for 20 years before Reynolds broke it.
Johnson said he started thinking about breaking the 400 record when he was in college.
"I've always wanted this record," he said. "This completes the circle."
Johnson's split time after 100 meters was 10.9,
21.0 after 200, and 31.3 after 300.
Johnson blazed down the final straight, legs churning in his upright style, accelerating more than 10 meters ahead of the field. As soon as he crossed the line and saw his time, he threw up his arms in triumph.
Johnson posed for photos next to the scoreboard flashing his time. Then he sprawled on his back on the track before grabbing an American flag and taking a victory lap, slapping hands with fans.
Johnson was handed a hand-painted sign saying, "Record - 43.18, Johnson," and he held it up to the crowd as he jogged around the track.
"That time is unbelievable," said British runner
The second-place finisher, Brazil's Sanderlei Parrela, was more than a second behind Johnson in 44.29. Mexico's Alejandro Cardenas took the bronze in 44.31.
Jamie Bauch, who finished eighth. "This is the first time I've ever spoken to him. I just had to give him a hug. I just told him he was unbelievable. That's on a par with 19.32."
Johnson had been chasing Reynolds' 400 title throughout the 1990s. He had come close three times, with clockings of 43.39, 43.44 and 43.49.
Johnson has dominated the 400 for a full decade and had an undefeated streak from 1989 to 1997. But in the past few years, he has been troubled by injuries in the hip and pelvic areas.
A hush fell over the crowd as Johnson, wearing black and gold shoes, settled into the starting blocks on a clear, warm evening that offered perfect conditions for his record attempt.
The near capacity crowd in the 60,000-seat stadium roared throughout the one-lap race, with the noise getting louder as Johnson surged further in front and was clearly poised to take the record.
It was the first world record broken at these championships, coming on the sixth day of the nine-day event.
In the men's pole vault, Maxim Tarasov of Russia succeeded Sergel Bubka as world champion, vaulting 19 feet, 9 inches to defeat Dmitriy Markov of Australia and Alekandris Averbukh of Israel.
Marion Jones withdrew from the World Championships, a day after pulling up with a back injury in the semifinals of the 200 meters.
"She's out of the championships," said her agent, Charlie Wells. "She's still walking around and we're evaluating her. She still has muscle spasms in her lower back."
Asked whether Jones would be out the rest of the season, Wells said, "We still need a couple of days to make that decision."
Jones, the sport's top female star, came to the championships seeking a record four gold medals.
She won the 100 meters Sunday in a season's best 10.70 seconds but settled for bronze Monday in the long jump. In addition to the 200, she had planned to run in one of the relays.
But Jones' championships ended in agony Wednesday night when she crumbled onto the track during her 200 semifinal and was carried off on a gurney.
A statement issued by USA Track and Field said: "Marion is in good spirits but is still experiencing back pain and occasional spasms. Her medical team continues to assess the nature of her injury and provide treatment."
Jones' husband, shot put champion C.J. Hunter, refused to comment when approached at his Seville hotel.
Swimmer sets another mark in semifinals
SYDNEY, Australia — South African swimmer Penny Heyns continued her world-record rampage yesterday, breaking her own mark in the 200-meter breaststroke semifinals at the Pan Pacific championships.
The Associated Press
It was her sixth record in an amazing five-week run during which she has lowered both the 100 and 200 three times each.
Her latest record was the eighth of the PanPacs in five days of competition, and her second of the meet. She also lowered the 100-meter mark in the preliminary heats.
Heyns broke four world records last month in Los Angeles, two in each event, and her 2:24.42 Wednesday was 0.9 seconds under her 2:24.51 on July 18.
Jenny Thompson, who broke the 200 butterfly world record Monday — the second-oldest mark — returned to action with the fastest qualifying time from the semis of the 100 freestyle.
She also won her 21st PanPac gold medal as the U.S. 800-meter freestyle relay team set the second fastest time ever. Thompson, Lindsay Benko, Ellen Stonebraker and Cristina Teuscher finished at 7.57.61, beating the drug-tainted 1994 Chinese time of 7.57.96 but missing East Germany's record of 7.55.47 from 1987.
Australia's Michael Klim was under Alex Popov's world record pace halfway through the 100 freestyle final but was unable to sustain his pace. Klim managed to hold out American Neil Walker to get his third gold of the meet, but his 48.98 was slower than his best of 48.73 and Popov's 48.21.
Australian Simon Cowley wrapped up a breaststroke double when he added the 200 gold to the 100 title from earlier in the meet. Cowley was one-half length behind American Tom Wilkens with 50 to swim but caught him halfway down the stretch and finished in a national record of 12.19.8.
American Lenny Krayzelburg, who broke the 100 backstroke world record Wednesday, tuned up for an attempt to break the 200 record by qualifying fastest through yesterday's semifinals.
Krayzelburg, aiming to break Martin Lopez Zubero's 1991 mark of 1:56.57, was a second under world record pace at the halfway mark. He stayed on target through 150 but eased down the stretch, saving energy for today's final.

Fans welcome legend's nephew
Edgard Clemente changed his name to honor his uncle
PITTSBURGH— The number isn't quite the same — it's 12, or 21 turned backward — but the name is: Clemente. In Pittsburgh, there is no more famous name in sports — or a name more difficult to live up to.
The Associated Press
Even for a visiting player. Even for Roberto Clemente's own nephew.
For the first time in 27 years, a player named Clemente played major league baseball in Pittsburgh, catching fly balls in the very outfield where Roberto played, batting in the very batter's box where Roberto Clemente stood before getting his 3,000th hit nearly 27 years ago.
To rookie center fielder Edgard Clemente of the Colorado Rockies, playing this week in the city where his uncle is revered, in the stadium where his uncle played his final three seasons, was an ethereal, unforgettable experience.
"I saw his statue outside the stadium; I walked across the bridge that is named after him," Clemente said. "The park outside the stadium is named for him, too. He is still a hero in Pittsburgh. How many players have status? To have a statue, you must be a big player."
Roberto Clemente remains very big in Pittsburgh, where there were more "Clemente 21" jerseys in the stands for yesterday's Rockies-Pirates game than for any
COLORADO
ROCKIES
The statue. The bridge. The legacy. It's almost enough to make a promising young player who has yet to prove himself in the majors wish he had another name. Which Edgard Clemente might have next year.
He dropped his father's last name, Velazquez, to go by his mother's maiden name in tribute to his uncle, who died three years before he was born. But he may go back to Velazquez next year, now that he has returned the name Clemente to major league baseball.
"Maybe next year,maybe
current Pirates player.
they didn't mind. As long as I want it."
Clemente asked permission from Vera Clemente, the late Roberto's wife, before changing his name last year in honor of the 25th anniversary of his uncle's Hall of Fame induction. Edgard's mother, Carmen, who was Roberto's sister, and Roberto Clemente's sons also embraced the change. Luis Clemente called Edgard in Pittsburgh this week to wish him well.
Maybe next year,
in two years, I v
change back,
Clemente said.
"But I asked my
aunt and my
cousins if I could
keep the name,
and they said
"I was a little nervous; I was afraid that if I did not do well here that the fans might say something," Clemente said. "But they've been good. When they see my name, they are always very friendly."
A Rockies teammate, pitcher Roberto Ramirez, didn't realize that Edgard Clemente was related to Roberto, thinking he chose the name at random because Roberto Clemente is so revered in Latin
Edgard, 23, is not the only Clemente in baseball; Roberto Jr. is a Spanish language broadcaster for the New York Yankees, the team his father helped defeat in the 1960 World Series. But Edgard is the first in the Clemente family to play in the majors since his uncle, who died in an airplane crash Dec. 31, 1972, while transporting relief supplies to earthquake-streaked Nicaragua.
Edgard Clemente
Colorado Rockies rookie center fielder
"He thought I took it like I might have taken the name McGwire or Sosa because they are popular now," Clemente said. "Like I could have called myself Edgard Sosa."
"I was afraid that if I did not do well here [in Pittsburgh] that the fans might say something. But they've been good. When they see my name, they are always very friendly."
American baseball.
The Rockies are giving Edgard a 50-game trial in center field — not right field, where Roberto played — and manager Jim Leyland likes what he sees so far: a live arm and a lively bat. Clemente was 2-for-4 in Colorado's 8-4 loss yesterday and has five homers since returning from the minors Aug. 9
"He'll probably end up as a corner outfielder, not a center fieldier, and he's a free swinger sometimes," Leyland said. "But he can hit."

Jayhawks' Offense
Kyle Ramsey/XANSAN
Notre Dame faces tough opponent, but not the'Hawks
1966, 1977, 1988. OK, so with a $30,000 education, Notre Dame students can count by 11.
Unfortunately, the Irish need a little more than a kindergarten degree to win a national championship this year. Before Notre Dame even can consider a 1999 title, Irish coach Bob Davie's squad needs to learn to play like a team worthy of a top spot in the polls.
So, it's a good thing the school of hard knocks is in
session for Davie and company.
In this classroom,

will look to the students
for the answers.
The only real test to g a u g e N o t r e Dame's calil will
Anthony Bianco guest columnist sports@kanan.com
The biggest topic the Irish need to cover will be protecting the running game. Only center John Merandi and guard Mike Gandy have started previously for the Irish on the line. Merandi is the only veteran — with 12 starts in 1998 — among the front five.
come on the gridiron. The first part will come tomorrow against the Jayhawks. Irish fans can be sure that Davie will be ready with pen and paper in hand.
"Wait till next year" can easily replace the thoughts of a title for Notre Dame if offensive tackles Jordan Black and John Teasdale and guard Jim Jones don't land feet-first when they take their first significant dive into the trenches.
And then there's the other half of the running game.
That plan also is unclear. With sophomore Tony Fisher and junior Tony Driver running neck-and-neck for the starting tailback spot, Davie's plan is to wait and test them in the spotlight.
Even as Fisher seemed to emerge as the favorite this week, the best bet is to give the duo a 50-50 shot against Kansas to determine who will carry the Irish through the rest of the season.
Defensively, the Irish will take a more stable starting set on the field, but look for players lower on the depth chart to make their move much like their offensive counterparts.
The biggest area of concern will come from the cornerbacks, thinned by the season-long suspension of Brock Williams. Making his firstever start after limited playing time in 1998, Clifford Jefferson will have to prove he's ready to handle the corners.
With these questions unanswered, Davie's 1999 squad will square off against a Kansas team that defeated Colorado and lost to Texas A&M by three points last season. But the Jayhawks will take a backseat to the more pressing position questions that the Irish face.
Only with these questions settled and a winning arsenal on hand can Notre Dame tackle its biggest opponent to date: the demands for a 1999 National Championship.

New jail opens for a sneak peek
Curious visitors turn out for tour

Fun for the whole family at the Douglas County Jail!
That easily could have been the slogan for Saturday's open house at the new jail, 3601 E. 25th St., as men and women, young and old came to tour the facility and get a glimpse of life behind bars.
mum-security and women's units, the jail has booking facilities, a courtroom, staff area and training facilities, medical facilities, administrative facilities, visitation facilities, recreation facilities and a kitchen.
Douglas County sheriff's officials estimated that more than 2,000 people attended the open house. Residents were generally impressed with what they saw; maybe a little too impressed.
County employees who will be working at the jail were enjoying the opportunity to show off their new place of employment.
"It might be too damn good for the prisoners," said Bob Bigsby, a long-time Lawrence resident. "There's going to be a lot of people in town who don't have a place this good to live."
Bigsley said he was a little concerned that so much money was spent on a facility when the county could get by with less.
The project was funded with a one-cent sales tax approved by voters in 1994 to solve overcrowding at the county jail. Initially tabbed as an $11-million, 170-bed facility, the project grew to $22 million and will accommodate 196 inmates.

NEW JAIL
Separate pods are designed to accommodate 196 inmates with:
- 56-bed dormitory-style work release unit;
- 28-bed minimum security unit;
- 28-bed medium security unit;
- 28-bed maximum security unit;
- 28-bed unit for women, all classifications;
- 4 bed medical unit
"I like it a lot," Deputy Ryan Robinson said. "It's a big change from the old one, but it's definitely needed."
Robinson said that the county officials were still deciding what to do with the old Douglas County Jail, located at 11 E. 11th St.
Through an inmate worker program, staff will be provided for janitorial, kitchen, yard and lot maintenance and laundry duty.
Designed by Treanor Architects and built by Universal Construction Company, Inc., the building does not have the oppressive, weighty atmosphere normally associated with a jail. The building's most distinctive features are the turret-style facade and the rotunda entrance.
The individual cells are much more spare. Each cell is equipped with concrete beds with 4-inch foam mattresses, a toilet, a sink, a table and a painted square on the wall for photographs.
Inmates are scheduled to begin occupying the jail in September.

Dean of School of Business to retire next June

who laid the tracks for a
The man who laid strategic plan of excellence for the School of Business will retire before he can witness its full results.
-University of Kansas officials announced Friday that Tom Sarowski, dean of business, will retire next June.
PETER R. BORSELL
Sarowski, who has been the dean since 1995, said he had not planned to stay
Sarowski: Initiated strategic "plan of excellence" in 1997
beyond his five-year commitment to the University. Nevertheless, in 1997 he initiated a "plan of excellence" with a vision of improving the school to one of the top 10 in the nation.
"I knew at that time that I wouldn't know the joy of crossing the finish line, but I'm glad we got the track laid out," Sarowski said.
sarowski moved the school in a new direction, said Neal Sharma, a business graduate student who worked closely with Sarowski.
"I think the greatest thing a leader can do is set people towards a goal," he said. "I think that was a very important step for the school."
10 increase the rigor of the business curriculum, Sarowski raised admission standards for both undergraduate and masters' programs. Despite the improved standards, the school's enrollment increased 20 percent during his stint as dean.
"We've improved the quality of our student curriculum, at the same time increasing our student body," Sarowski said.
He implemented measures to improve the school's international program, particularly by strengthening its study
abroad program in Italy. He also enabled students to more easily access technology, and he implemented a plus/minus grading system. Since Sarowski has been dean, average starting salaries for the school's graduates increased from $38,000 to $76,000 for masters' students and from the upper $20,000s to the mid-$30,000s for undergraduates.
Sarowski said he was confident that the administration, faculty, students and new dean will continue the implementation of the plan of excellence.
"I think the faculty has accepted the vision as theirs," he said. "The success of the plan lies in the hands of the faculty. The dean can't make it happen."
"he was great, very fair-minded," she said. "His principal interest was for the betterment of the school, to make it grow."
Nicky Foley, Sarowski's assistant, said she and the school's staff were disappointed about his retirement.
retirement traveling, enjoying hobbies and spending time with his children and his wife, he said had always been supportive.
Sarowski joined the University in 1991 as a distinguished lecturer and executive-in-residence before becoming dean in 1995.
His retirement next summer would be his second, Sarowski said. He worked for Arthur Anderson & Co., a consulting firm in Kansas City, Mo., for 26 years before retiring in 1990.
Sarowski said he planned to spend his
He said it was rewarding to be able to share his experiences in the business world as a professor.
"I think most executives dream of having this opportunity to pass on their real-world experience in this capacity," Sarowski said.
A search committee of faculty, staff, students and alumni will begin a national search for a new dean this semester

Student's trial for rape ends in a hung jury a second time
By Katie Hollar writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Friday afternoon, the jury, composed of six men and six women, deliberated for two hours. The final vote was 7-5, in favor of acquittal.
For the second time in three months, a jury was unable to reach a unanimous decision in the rape trial of Gregory Hunsucker II, Olathe sophomore.
The rape charge stemmed from events that occurred Oct. 17 in Ellsworth Hall. A female resident said Hunsucker overpowered her, penetrated her vagina with his finger and touched her breasts without consent.
Hunsucker said the two had consensual oral and vaginal sex.
The second Division II trial lasted for three days and involved five witnesses in addition to Hunsucker and the alleged victim.
Although the initial trial in June ended in a hung jury, verdicts were reached on other charges from Oct. 17. Hunsucker pleaded guilty to furnishing alcohol to a minor and the jury found him not guilty of sexual assault.
Throughout the proceedings, defense attorney Don Smith pointed to inconsistencies in the alleged victim's statements. A number of discrepancies were documented: several details varied between her original statement in October, the first trial in June and her testimony last week.
"Credibility is the issue in this trial," Smith said in his opening statement.
The victim said that although some details changed in her memory, she did not stray from the truth. Prosecutor Dave Zabel attributed the changes to stress.
in his cross-examination of the defendant, Zabel focused on Hunsucker's background in wrestling. Zabel inquired about Hunsucker's size, strength and ability to pin.
Hunsucker's testimony did not stray from his original statement.
Friday afternoon Hunseuser expressed relief about the verdict. Flanked by friends and family, the defendant said he was glad it was over.
However, the case can be retrieved. Kansas law allows a case to be tried an indefinite number of times as long as a unanimous decision cannot be reached.
Presiding Judge Jack Murphy granted the prosecution 10 days to decide whether to retry the case. Zabel said he would work with the alleged victim and her family to reach a decision. Zabel said he was disappointed in the turnout.
"We believe in this case," he said. "But it's not a shock. Twelve other people couldn't reach a decision. They explained to us their rationale, and we understand."
Turtle maze in cornfield raises money for museum

The Pendletons approached Stan Herd, creator of the maze, about designing a maze for their cornfield. He had already conceived of one of a turtle, and so agreed to build the maze himself.
More than 300 children and adults came out of their shells yesterday and bought tickets to the Festival at Turtle Island Maze raising funds for a University museum.

The turtle-shaped maze, which was cut into a cornfield, is located at Pendleton's Kaw Valley Country Market, 1850 E. 15th St.

Sorority house visited again by uninvited guest
members of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority had another unexpected visit Thursday night.
"We were scared to death," she said.
About 10 p.m., several residents of the house, at 1600 Oxford Road, noticed a man walking around the yard. A few minutes later, they saw him looking into their room.
After the women noticed him, he went toward the back of the house, said Valerie Flick, Maxville sophomore and Alpha Delta Pi member.

"We were scared to death," she said.
Flick described the man as 5-foot-10 with a stocky build. She said he did not look like a student. She also said she was not sure whether it was the same man who exposed himself Wednesday night in the sorority parking lot. Lawrence police have not apprehended either suspect.
A pickup truck lost control and overturned early yesterday morning, killing three and seriously injuring three others. Lawrence police said.
At 7:47 a.m, the vehicle, which was carrying at least seven people, strayed off the 700 block of Maple Street and onto a parallel set of railroad tracks. After hitting the tracks, the truck flipped over at least once, Sgt. George Wheeler said. He said no train was involved.
Wheeler said he assumed some of the passengers were riding illegally in the back of the truck.
"Simple math tells us that not everyone can be in the cab," he said.
The accident is being investigated by the Lawrence Police Department and

Diamond mine may lie under Riley County soil
MANHATTAN, Kan. — A geology profesor wants to go hunting for diamonds that she says may be buried beneath the Kansas prairies in rocks similar to the diamond mines of South Africa.
Monica Clement, of Kansas State University, will seek funding for a series of tests to determine if diamonds are present in a layer of igneous rock formations, known to geologists as kimberlites.
Clement says the day may come when she finds a treasure trove of precious gems beneath the grasses of Rilev County.
A handful of sites in Riley County reveal kimberlite outcroppings, giving Clement clues that vast, underground mines of diamonds might be just below the surface, she said.
"If you tell students, 'Look, we have these rocks, which are very rare, and they're exactly the kind of rocks that diamonds are found in South Africa, yes, students go. 'Wow, diamonds.' "Clement said
To date, Clement has not found any trace of diamonds at the Stockade kimberlite site on the west side of Tuttle Creek Reservoir.
Even if diamonds are found, Clement does not expect the quality to be worldclass.

PHOENIX—A 14-year-old foster girl who says she was raped reportedly is expected to travel to Kansas for a late-term abortion unless Arizona officials succeed in winning a court ruling to stop her.
There has been no direct word from the girl because of foster care confidentiality requirements and a court seal on the case. She is said to be about 24 weeks into the pregnancy now, past the stage at which abortions are performed in Arizona.
The girl, a ward of the state since she was 5 and now a ward of Maricopa County Superior Court, told the state she was raped. She requested an abortion 14 weeks into the pregnancy but then ran away, showing up again only recently.
The Arizona Republic quoted sources Saturday as saying Gov. Jane Hull had changed direction Thursday about an appeal and had decided to have the girl's competency re-evaluated. But a judge on Friday reaffirmed his decision to allow the abortion, the newspaper said.
Last week, Judge William Sargeant
authorized the abortion and having the girl taken elsewhere for it.
Dalai Lama completes U.S. visit in Chicago
CHICAGO—About 3,200 people gathered at Chicago's Field Museum on Saturday to hear the Dalal Lama's nonsectarian message of peace, compassion and human rights on the last day of a 17-day U.S. visit.
"We are the same physically, spiritually and emotionally," the Dalai Lama told the crowd at Saturday's fund raiser. "We have the same potential ... to help other people."
The exiled spiritual leader of the world's Tibetan Buddhists also spoke in New York and in Bloomington, Ind., where his brother founded the Tibetan Cultural Center in 1979.
He also spoke of the importance of meditation to prepare to face life's problems and noted that much blood had been shed in the name of religion.
"The concept of one religion and one truth is bad," he said.
Texas meteorite holds water from outer space
The Dalai Lama was to return to Dharmsala, India, Saturday night.
WASHINGTON—A rock that fell from the sky to land in a West Texas yard contained a remarkable surprise — water from the far reaches of snake
water from the lake reached 10°C. The researchers who opened the meteorite discovered tiny pockets of briny water, providing the first close look at water not originating on earth, according to an article in the journal Science.
"The existence of a water-soluble salt in this meteorite is astonishing," wrote R. N. Clayton of the University of Chicago, who was not involved in the research on the meteorite.
While astronomers long have thought that water flowed through asteroids and other bodies formed at the beginning of the solar system, the meteorite's liquid cargo offered the first chance to actually study it in a lab.
Cape Town storm kills four, injures hundreds
WORLD
CAPE TOWN, South Africa—Gale-force winds ripped roofs off homes and collapsed walls yesterday in a Cape Town neighborhood, killing at least four people, injuring hundreds and leaving 5,000 home less. A fifth person died of a heart attack.
Rescue workers waded through the debris and tried to find victims, while stunned survivors walked through the devastated area in the Cape Flats, a low-income neighborhood of Cape Town.
The storm, which hit early yesterday and was accompanied by thunder and lightning, may have been a tornado.

Cornfield maze educates visitors about reptiles

Museum contacted us to make it a fund-raiser."
Museum contacted us to make if a tutorraiser:
Leonard Kristalka, director of the Natural History Museum,
said the museum's main goal was signing up more members so they could take advantage of the educational opportunities the museum has to offer.
Douglas County community school Scattered throughout the maze were 13 species of turtle, including four donated for the day by Tim Emerson, owner of Pet World, 711 W. 23rd St.
"One of the chancellor's themes in the University its to serve Kansans," Kristalka said. "And I can't think of any better way to serve Kansans. The costs are minimal compared to the benefit that we can give to our members and the greater Lawrence and Douglas County communities."
Emerson, who spent yesterday at the center of the maze with two African Spur Thigh Tortoises, said he liked to educate people as much as he could about turtles because he always had had a strong affinity for the reptile.
Heather Galbraith, manager of Pet World, said: "We love any opportunity that we are given to educate people about any type of animal because we feel that the more people are educated abut different species of animals, the more tolerant they will be of them." Hard is pleased with the turnout.
Her was pleased with the turnout.
"With hundreds of people coming out here today to learn about the turtle just because I happened to create a turtle and the festivities and people talking and learning about all these creatures — that's the power of the art," he said.
Brie Martin, volunteer at the Natural History Museum and Topeka senior, said: "I love children's faces when they light up when they see turtles. Everybody seems to be enthralled with turtles."
Pendleton said that the maze cost about $10,000 to produce and that he likely would make a profit.
He said because they had had such a good response to the maze that there likely would be another created next year although the theme has not been decided.
The maze will be open — minus the turtles — until Sept. 6. Admission is $4.

Organization raises funds to help earthquake victims
Turkish students hear from friends
By Lesley Simmons writer @kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Members of the Turkish International Association are collecting money to help victims of the earthquake that devastated western Turkey two weeks ago.
Yanki Cobanoglu, graduate student in electrical engineering from Kyrenia, North Cyprus, said members of the student organization would continue to collect donations at a table on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union today through Thursday.
Thursday. The group began raising funds from students, faculty and staff Aug. 27, and has already collected about $200. Donations will be forwarded to the American Red Cross or the Turkish Embassy in Washington, D.C.
According to a statement on the Turkish Embassy's Web site, monetary donations are more useful than donations of goods at this stage in the relief effort.
According to the American Red Cross, survivors of the earthquake have enough food and water, and most have access to
portable toilets. Finding shelter remains one of the survivors' biggest concerns.

come.
Cobanoglu said even small donations would add up to help survivors in Turkey. He said many of his friends from Cyprus, an island 40 miles south of Turkey, went to school in Istanbul, but that all of his friends had e-mailed him since the earthquake. His best friend left the area a week before the earthquake.

Aydin Orge, graduate student in business from Ankara, Turkey, said it had been difficult for him to conceptualize the earthquake because the numbers of people killed or left homeless were so high. His family in Ankara was not involved in the earthquake.

Burc Barin, Nicosia, Cyprus, junior, said some of his relatives had felt the earthquake, but that no one in his family was hurt. He said he hoped that building code requirements in Turkey would become more stringent.

Maybe if the buildings were designed
differently, fewer people would have died," Barin said.
Hilary Van Patten, Almena junior, said she hadn't heard from her e-mail pen pal in Turkey since the day before the earthquake.
She had been corresponding with a 17-year-old Turkish boy named Cenk for most of the summer, receiving e-mail from him almost every other day and discussing things such as Stephen King novels.
Van Patten said she still hoped to hear from Cenk. She said she thought he might be busy or unable to send e-mail because of damage to infrastructure.

ADAPAZARI, Turkey Once a bustling industrial center, this quake-flattened community more closely resembles a war zone than a cityscape: helicopters buzzing overhead, mountains of crumbled concrete, dazed-looking citizens wandering the rubble-strewn streets.
consider leaving city
strewn streets.
With three-quarters of Adapazari's buildings left uninhabitable by Turkey's devastating Aug. 17, earthquake, and with tens of thousands of its people camped out in tents and shelters, authorities are considering a radical solution: simply pulling up stakes and abandoning this northwestern city of 180,000 people.
Other ravaged Turkish towns — such as the Sea of Marmara port of Golcu, where a naval base that was the town's lifeblood was destroyed and won't be rebuilt — may face the same fate: that of being literally wiped off the map.
in these towns, the destruction is so widespread and the danger from future quakes is so great that officials are slowly acknowledging that relocation may make more sense than reconstruction.
"Maybe we just can't fix it," said Adapazari provincial governor Ahmet Vefik Tekerek, interviewed at the quake-damaged municipal offices. "It's possible we will choose to leave this city."
Even if moving turns out to be the most pragmatic solution, the idea of mass displacement is a wrenching one for the people of Adapazari, a bitter new loss atop the death and damage caused by the quake.
"My house is ruined, but this city is my home, and it was my father's home," said vegetable vendor Heyrettin Heybet, 24. "If we all go to another place and call它 Adapazari, how can it be the same?"
Almost no family in the city escaped the loss of life or property. The local death toll stands at 2,621 — accounting for nearly one-fifth of the total toll of 13,479 — but hundreds more bodies are believed still entoured in mountains of rubble so high they dwarf the heavy equipment only now beginning to clear them away.
beginning Another 5,084 people were hurt in Adapazari, according to official figures, but unless
their injuries were life-threatening, many simply treated themselves. Across the city, people limp and hobble along, with knotted rags and dirty bandages covering iodine-streaked wounds.
stretched wounded. Adapazar, 100 miles east of Istanbul, lies directly along the North Anatolian fault line. Hundreds of afterschocks have shaken the town since the main earthquake, and on Friday evening it was hit by two sharp new tremors, one of them with a magnitude of 4.1
Some wonder whether it was a mistake to rebuild the town after it was nearly leveled by a powerful 7.2-magnitude quake in 1867.
10. 2.25 mag. "Adapazari was much smaller then, so maybe the idea of staying made sense at the time," said Murat Kilic, 27, whose apartment building collapsed in this quake. Part of his family lore is the destruction of his grandfather's house in the 1967 quake, and how the family lived for two months afterward in a tent.
"Now here we are again," he said, gesturing at the tents clustered around him on a muddy soccer field. "I think this city has a curse on it."
Local association works to increase area's population of bluebirds
By Todd Halsted
writer@kansan.com
Kansas
Thoreau may have written, "The bluebird carries the sky on his back," but it is the Kaw Valley Bluebird Association that carries the bluebird on its back.
the Duke of York,
L. Martin Jones, association president and former Lawrence campus director of business and fiscal affairs,
said the association wanted to educate students and residents about bluebirds
"Many people have not seen an eastern bluebird." Jones said. "Their number has got so low that a lot of people think we're talking about blue jays. The bluebird is a wonderful bird, so we want to educate people about it — especially young people."
Fourteen residents formed the Kaw Valley Bluebird Association in March 1999 to propagate the eastern bluebird habitat, monitor nesting sites, report data to national and state ornithological organizations and to educate people about the bluebird and its activities, but some members have been working to help the bluebirds for more than 20 years.
The bluebird, which nests from about April 1 to about Sept. 1, is a small bird with blue on its head, back and tail; orange on the upper half of its breast and white on the lower half. Its austere nest is cushaped. It is found in all parts of the United States east of the Rockies
The association has placed nesting boxes at several locations in
Lawrence and the vicinity. Clinton State Park and the Corps of Engineers property at the lake is home to 65 boxes, with 20 at Rim Rock Farm in Jefferson County, 20 at Eagle Bend Golf Course, 60 at Perry Lake and others scattered throughout the area.
Chuck Pachella, an employee of Eagle Bend Golf Course, said, "There are a lot of the golfers who really seem to enjoy the birds."
This has been an especially good year for the bluebird lovers.
"From the 65 nesting boxes at Clinton State Park we have fledged, that is baby birds have grown up and flown away. 355 bluebirds." Jones said. "It's rather a significant number and it's the most
we've fledged in one year."
Jones said in recent years they had fledged an average of 320.
The University of Kansas' west campus formerly was a home for some nesting boxes.
something "we had 10 boxes on the west campus, but we have not really attended to them this past year." Jones said. "We fledged probably no more than 10 bluebirds."
more than 10 students. Jones said it would help to have interested students volunteer time and assist in monitoring the nest boxes on campus and in other parts of the area.
Richard Prum, associate professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, said the bluebird was one the few bird species in the area that
nested exclusively in cavities and in the wild they were limited to natural cavities. These cavities included holes in dead trees, branches, old barns and woodpecker holes.
"The population is limited to the number of opportunities they have to nest." Prum said. "In the old days, with the old style of farming practices and gardening standards, there were more dead trees and orchards. Changes in how people use the environment have really hurt the bluebird population quite a bit."
Insects, the bluebird's main food source, were vastly depleted by DDT. Consumption of the dead insects infected the bluebird. If the bluebird did not die, often their fledglings did, or egg walls were too
"Since DDT, along with other pesticides, has been banned, except in special cases, the bluebird has made a comeback," Jones said.
Wes Seyler and Tom Rodhouse, Lawrence residents, were among the first people to create artificial nests for bluebirds in the area 22 years ago. When Jones retired from the University, he began helping Seyler with his nesting projects.
Jones said the Kaw Valley Bluebird Association, which has about 25 members, was created to secure funds to help people wanting to create artificial nesting sites. Funds come in the form of $10 membership fees and modest donations from people interested in the project.

Tough zoning laws hurt nightlife
The Brown Bear Brewery has been at the center of a controversy since the Lawrence City Commission revoked the brewery's liquor license last week. The decision was made because Brown Bear was in violation of the C-3 city zoning ordinance that requires bars to make at least 55 percent of their money from food sales.
The commission's decision was correct, but the laws behind it should be questioned.
According to City Commissioner Marty Kennedy, the food requirement for new downtown establishments was meant to keep downtown Lawrence from evolving into a pure bar district. He said the commission wanted to see downtown remain a true downtown, with a mixture of retail, entertainment and food and beverage establishments.
City Commission's decision could hurt downtown
But the zoning ordinance itself could lead to more negative consequences than popular bars closing.
As Lawrence sprawls outward, especially to the west, new businesses pop up constantly. Although Kennedy said all expansion was subject to zoning requirements, the ordinance that stripped Brown Bear of its license was enacted particularly for downtown. If prospective bars cannot meet the food-alcohol ratio requirement, they will likely move to other locations around town. This could be disastrous in a few ways.
First, we face the prospect of downtown losing its unique appeal. Although
Massachusetts Street should not be simply a row of taverns, the bar scene plays an important role in the distinct environment of the downtown area.
The zoning also could impact safety. While it's not desirable to have drinkers stumbling from bar to bar down Mass., it is preferable to drinkers driving from bar to bar.
A basic understanding of the laws of supply and demand dictates that only a certain number of bars and clubs could stay economically viable in an area like downtown Lawrence. The strict zoning laws are trying to protect against an extreme influx of bars, which, if left to the market, would likely balance itself out. What has resulted instead is that a local business is fighting for its life, not because of competition, but because of legal statutes.

Students shouldn't have to pay extra to study late at University libraries
Students, how did you like forking over that big check for tuition? Or the $214 for the ever-present campus fees — especially when Student Senate is sitting on a surplus of $350,007.
Well, if things go as planned, students may have to shell out an additional $1 per credit hour for a library fee starting next fall. What is the deal with another separate fee that isn't covered by the already hefty campus fee?
Just ask the Kansas Board of Regents. This summer, the Regents passed a motion to keep the libraries open 24 hours a day during finals week. This is an excellent idea many students need the library to study, access research materials and escape noisy living environments. Last year, Watson Library closed at midnight during finals week,
Keeping libraries open all night is a good idea,but the State not students,should pay
even though students often study well past that time.
Should students have to pay $1 for every credit hour to have library employees guard the books overnight duringfinals?
The answer is no. Extended library hours are conducive to and necessary for learning; therefore, the state of Kansas should foot the bill.
actions of the Board of Regents are a springboard for other student fees.
"I see this as a scary trend and bad public policy that student fees are being looked to as the cure for our financial woes." Maxwell said.
Furthermore, this fee continues to set a precedent of students picking up the tab for academic services. Korb Maxwell, student body president, thinks that the
In the case of the currently assessed technology fee, which this board has supported, the state pays $2 for every $1 student pay. Matching funds and a critical need for technology were critical components to the technology fee's success.
But with the library fee, student money would not necessarily be matched by state funding. Maxwell intends to lobby for matching funds from the state, but, if the state refuses, he thinks that students must stand up and stop the student fee snowball.

Organization dedicated to social change, justice
canothouse like many women die of safer serious disability in pregnancy or childbirth for lack of simple remedies and care. To ensure universal access to basic social services, UNICEF
It is these kinds of statistics that helped lead to the growth of the movement known as Food Not Bombs (FNB). FNB was formed in Boston in 1980 as an outgrowth of the antinuclear movement to put forth the simple idea that governments should produce more food for the hungry, and fewer bombs to kill and destroy. Since then, more than 100 autonomous FNB
UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) estimates that every hour,1,000 children die from easily preventable diseases, and almost twice that many women die or of
estimates, would require only a quarter of the annual military expenditures of developing countries.
Throughout the world, millions upon millions die of starvation, while about 46 billion pounds of usable food is wasted each year in the United States alone. FNB recovers healthy vegetarian and vegan food that would have otherwise been discarded and serves it at regular community meals. FNB groups in North America and Europe serve thousands of meals each week.
chapters have been formed around the globe. FNB is dedicated to social change through nonviolent direct action and community activism, and uses consensus decision-making to confront inequality and abusive power, as well as to promote nonviolence.
Organizations such as FNB are important in today's world for many reasons. Some have already been pointed out; another is the increasing disparity between the upper and lower classes. This inequality is evident on a local, national, and international level. Locally, take a look around East Lawrence and then visit West Lawrence. The disparity is obvious.
have been instituted in hospitals in some cities. All of this comes from the fact that the U.S. has the most unequal distribution of wealth of any industrial country. Other nations are not perfect by any means. The London Observer stated in early 1997 that up to 2 million British children are suffering ill health and stunted growth from malnutrition because of poverty on a scale not seen since the 1930s.
Internationally, the United Nations Development Program maintained in its annual global overview, the Human Development Report, that global inequalities in income and living standards have reached grotesque proportions. It also said that the richest countries have 20 percent of the world's people, but 86 percent of its income. Most poorer countries suffer from debilitating debt. Powerful global establishments such as the World Trade Organization and the International Monetary Fund only care about financial stability for rich multinational corporations. Thus, poverty-stricken countries have little chance of catching up any time soon unless things change.
On the national level you can look at most cities, where children are dying of malnutrition at an amazing rate and some adult males under the poverty line have life expectancies lower than that of some third world countries. Malnutrition clinics
While the poor keep getting poorer and the rich keep getting richer, the U.S. continues to spend millions upon millions on the military. Congress gives the Pentagon more money than it asks for every year, yet we have malnutrition clinics in some cities! Perhaps we should be spending less on bombs and more on infrastructure and programs for the poor and middle class. Perhaps we should be building fewer prisons and more homeless shelters. Perhaps our government representatives should be working towards more public transportation and low power radio stations, and creating fewer tax breaks for the rich. FNB discusses these issues and what can be done about them, as well as serving free food at related rallies, gatherings and protests.
Lawrence FNB serves food every Sunday. We meet at the Sunflower House (1406 Tennessee) around 4:30 p.m. to prepare the food. We serve in South Park at 6 p.m.
While active in FNB and other such groups I am often reminded of the words of Margaret Mead: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed it's the only thing that ever has."

Addiction to add/drop makes class choice easier
Katie
Bartkoski
columnist
opinion at kansas.com
Hello, my name is Katie, and I have a problem. No, this is not the first step toward recovery in some alcohol rehab program. My dirty little secret has to do with classes and add/drop. I like to shop around a little bit before I actually commit.
During the first two days of school, I managed to attend eight classes, procure nine sylabi — and that was before I even attended three of the classes in which I'm actually enrolled. I think class shopping is important in order to assure that a class will fully fit my needs as a student.
I sit through the first day of class, regardless of my enrollment status, to get the syllabus and get a feel for the personality of the teacher. Other factors I consider include what kind of
As I wander into classroom after classroom, I keep an open mind. My warped way of choosing classes begins by scouring the timetable for classes that sound interesting. If they will actually count in some way toward graduation, it's an added perk.
Knowing people in a class also is important to me. It can be a deciding factor in my little add/drop world. I wholeheartedly believe in meeting new people, but it's so easy to exchange notes and study with friends. Finals are something I don't think many people really look at much, but who wants all 7:30 a.m. finals or your two hardest finals back to back on the first day?
time commitment the class will be, what time it is offered, whether I know anyone in the class, and, of course, what kind of final is held and when it is. These things truly can make a difference in the class experience. I'm a busy person, and, if it's a class I'm taking for fun, I don't want a lot of homework.
I would love to take this opportunity to give advice to freshmen and transfer students on the wonders of walking around collecting a rainbow of cards in order to stand in line for hours in Strong Hall, where you meet the bored faces of people telling you that you need another signature, dean's stamp, or different colored card.
Unfortunately, I have a harpsichord lesson to get to because, face it, you should keep your options open.
Bartkoski is a Baseehr junior in business communications and English.
Really, this class shopping problem is all because I'm an add/drop junkie. This is the honest to goodness truth. I have been known to go through add/drop sometimes three times in a day during open add/drop. The enrollment center people see me coming and suddenly the majority of the people take a coffee break to avoid me. Most know not to make eye contact with我 because then they will be unable to get away.
I worry that there may be some sort of a list circulating among departments alerting teachers of my class shopping. Some teachers know if they ignore me during the first week, maybe I will go away. Others try to blindly lead me into taking a class with low enrollment. Yesterday, I even received an e-mail from a teacher saying he was happy to see that I was on his class roster to take harpsichord. He said I needed to sign up with him soon for a class time. I'm unaware of how the error was made, but I'm enrolled in the harp, not the harpsichord.
The journalism school is so sick of my incessant need to for a dean's stamp that they gave me my own so I would no longer bother them.
I can be flexible. I've already broken one of my rules this semester by taking an early morning class three days a week. In my defense, Chancellor Hemenway is the professor, and, hey, on Thursday I don't have a class until the afternoon.
Senate should give refund to students
Feedback
If businesses overcharged you for goods or services, you would expect them to give the extra money back, wouldn't you? Since the $350,000 sitting in Student Senate's reserve account ("Student Senate Has Money to Spend." 8/26) represents the amount that they have overcharged KU students for Student Senate services, why don't they give the money back to the
Dan Drees Hays graduate student
people to whom it belongs by cutting Student Senate fees for next year, rather than scratching their heads trying to figure out how to spend it?
Robinson remodel bad for students
This letter is referring to the article about remodeling Robinson. I understand the University needs cash; I am a business major. However, to deceive the students that we
will be able to use these facilities for over two years now is businesslike and disrespectful, and do not tell me that that you did not say or imply this. I will let the administration in on a secret; if you want respect, do not back stab the students in the back on critical issues. How hard is it to tell the truth? It is time for the administration to grow up and give us the respect we deserve. Since we pay for much that goes on here, the administration owes us respect at least. It is about time that you start paying up!

Kansas students use new hot line to report public-school violence
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — As Kansas students return to school this year, they are finding something new in classrooms, a special number to call to report violence in public schools.
The Department of Education recently distributed 30,000 posters to all schools, enough to put one in each classroom. The message: "Stay Safe. Speak Up. Stop School Violence."
In large red numbers is the hot line number: 1-877-628-8203.
The toll-free number can be called anytime and will be answered at the Kansas Highway Patrol's dispatch center in Salina. Callers can remain anonymous.
Violence can be found in just about all of the 304 school districts at various times and in varying degrees. It's something educators want to deal with now rather than later.
"The issue isn't how many you have. The issue is the potential you have. We don't want any violence, and we're going to do everything we can to make the schools
safe," Education Commissioner, Andy Tompkins, said.
Deputy Commissioner Dale Dennis agreed, adding, "If we can save one potential violent situation from happening, it is worth our time and effort. Any is too much."
There are about 470,000 students in Kansas public schools. During the 1989-99 school year, about 7,900 students committed about 9,500 acts of violence on or near school grounds.
While other states have similar projects, Kansas has a unique aspect to its program.
"Some states are doing it, but not exactly like we are with the highway patrol and a live person at the other end all the time. That is the only one we know about like that," said Dennis, who helped put the program together.
Each caller is greeted by a dispatcher trained to handle such calls. The dispatcher has a list of people to call in each school district to pass on any important information.
Most likely, that means a call to the superintendent, who may preside over a sprawling city school system or one with only a single building in a rural setting. Additionally, local law enforcement officials are notified.
VIOLENCE HOT LINE
The new hat line number for Kansas students is 1-877-626-8203.
The number is to report acts of violence by schoolchildren
The number will be until hours a day by the Kansas Highway Patrol's dispatch center in Salina.
"It's truly anonymous, really. There is no way we have of tracking the call, although sometimes the kids aren't afraid to say who they are," said Sgt. Tina Burtzloff, a supervisory dispatcher at Salina.
She said the dispatch center logged 36 hot line calls in its first week.
Of those calls, she said, eight were referred to local officials, including one involving a gun brought to school and another
involving a student's threat to beat up another student.
On such calls, the dispatcher first asks whether the caller wants to give a name. If not, the dispatcher tries to find out the school district and school.
The priority is to determine the type of threat and whether it is imminent, plus getting as many specifics as possible.
But not every call has been about violence.
Burtzloff said dispatchers had gotten calls from some students who wanted to know whether the call was free, whether the number was for real and whether it was truly anonymous.
There also have been calls from children who were afraid because they were home alone or were going through a personal crisis. Burtzloff said no caller is turned away.
"We are going to do the best we can to help. We are humans and parents, too," she said. "Obviously there is a need for a place for kids to call and right now we are taking those calls."
New book maps out famous fictional locales
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON— Anyone who wants to pinpoint where James Bond met that blonde with the bottle of champagne on her curvy hip need only consult "Language of the Land," an unusual book published by the Library of Congress, which offers maps of imaginary places.
Another map shows just where Tom Sawyer whitewashed his famous fence. Still another points out the spot at which Paul Bunyan's ox Babe, trying to catch a field mouse, dug the Mammoth Cave.
L. Frank Baum's "Wonderful World of O2" is charted, Illustrator Dick
Martin located the Shifting Sands and Deadly Desert, with Emerald City and Gunda's Palace smack in the middle. A Yellow Brick Road is there too, though it's not clearly labeled.
Most literary maps, wrote coauthor Martha Hopkins, are not drawn to scale and contain little detailed information on topography, geology, towns, rivers or roads.
Still, some of the places are real enough. Author Ian Fleming made his James Bond stories credible by searching out authentic settings for what the library calls his "assignments and assignations." Only "Agent 007" and his exploits sprang from Fleming's imagination.
J. R.R. Tolkien's completely imaginary "Middle Earth" rates three highly detailed maps.
Somewhere-between reality and imagination lies Mark Twain's St. Petersburg, the home of Tom Sawyer, modeled on Hannibal. Mo. That's where the young Sam Clemens lived before he went piloting on the Mississippi, where he got his pen name.
The half-whitewashed fence is on St. Petersburg's Hill Street, just across from Becky Thatcher's house.
"There ain't anything that is so interesting to look at as a place that a book has talked about," Twain quotes Tom as saying in later life.
"Language of the Land" describes and reproduces the fantastic maps, along with many others covering the literary landscape. It was compiled by Hopkins of the library's Interpretive Programs Office and Michael Buscher of the Geography and Map Division.
Maps from days when Latin and Greek got more intensive study show the voyages of Odysseus and Aeneas. Even troubled Balkan politics gets touched on — unintentionally. A map on places in Hungarian literature includes portions of Romania which once belonged to Hungary, and which many Hungarians would dearly like to get back.

Palestinians urged to negotiate
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — One of Prime Minister Ehud Barak's senior envoys met with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat late Sunday in an urgent attempt to reach an agreement on implementing the Wye River Accord before Secretary of State Madeleine Albright arrives later this week.
Bank and the release of Palestinians jailed for anti-Israel attacks.
Barak warned last night that if Israeli and Palestinian negotiators failed to close a deal within hours, he could carry out the U.S.-brokered accord unilaterally and as he sees fit.
The statement issued by Barak's office said the Palestinians were not providing satisfactory answers on two issues: a timetable for an Israeli withdrawal from parts of the West
A senior envoy for Barak made his case to Arafat in the West Bank town of Ramallah late Sunday evening, Palestinian officials said.
influrate the Palestinians and freeze the peace process.
Failure to reach an agreement would lead Barak to consider implementing what he sees as the original Wye, although he does not believe this is in the interest of either side, the statement said.
The statement said in that case, he would disregard all agreements achieved in recent negotiations.
Implementing Israel's original version of the accord would mean an open-ended pullout from the West Bank and the release of prisoners selected according to Israeli criteria. Both actions would likely
But Barak's statement did indicate a softening in Israel's stance on the prisoners issue. It said the government had absolutely no intention of releasing prisoners belonging to Islamic Jihad or Hamas, two militant Islamic groups that oppose the peace process. Singling out the militants suggested that Barak was now considering releasing Palestinians who belonged to pro-peace groups.
There was also an apparent reversal on the withdrawal's timetable. In his statement, Barak said a withdrawal within six months would coincide with agreement on a framework for final status negotiations.
Negotiators had said last week that Barak had dropped demands to link Wye to the final status talks.
U.N. ambassador visits Yugoslavia
The Associated Press
Pristina, Yugoslavia
PRISTINA, Yugoslavia—Emphasizing the magnitude of rebuilding Kosovo, Richard Holbrooke on Sunday commended U.N. peace efforts and stressed the need to work toward a multiethnic and democratic society.
The three-day trip is Holbrooke's first abroad since being confirmed U.S. ambassador to the United Nations earlier this month. He helped broker the 1995 Dayton accord that ended the 3 1/2-year war in Bosnia and later served as President Clinton's special envoy to Yugoslavia.
Following his meeting with Kosovo's Serb leaders, Holbrooke expressed concern about attacks on Serbian Orthodox religious buildings.

"These are world heritage sites and anyone destroying them, whatever their reasons, whatever their motivation, should know that is a criminal vandal act and people must respect religious sites," Holbrooke said.
Calling Kosovo the ultimate test of the U.N.'s capability and potential, Holbrooke underlined the complexity of the problems that continue to plague the province, some 21/2 months after the arrival of international peacekeepers.
"This place has been a mess for a long time, but a different kind of mess," Holbrooke said, following a meeting with Bernard Kouchner, the top U.N. official in Kosovo. "The war was messy, the decade
that preceded the war was messy, the history back to 1912 was messy and the task is immense."
... and the task is minor.
Holbrooke congratulated Kouchner on improving security in the province but also voiced concern about continuing ethnic-based attacks on Kosovo's minorities.
But he rejected a Serb proposal to create separate enclaves for Kosovo's dwindling Serb population
Reserve SWATning Serb's population.
Since the arrival of NATO-led peacekeepers, revenge killings and violence by ethnic Albanians targeting Serbs have derailed international attempts to establish normality.
Holbrooke met with Hashim Thaci, the leader of the Kosovo Liberation Army. Thaci said that he and Holbrooke agreed on the complete demilitarization of the KLA.
"We believe that by the 19th of September, the KLA will be completely demilitarized." Thaci said.
Holbrooke also met with moderate ethnic Albanian leader Ibrahim Rugova.

Carolinas prepare for hurricane
The Associated Press
WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH, N.C.
— Hurricane Dennis headed close, to North Carolina's beaches Sunday night, paralleling the coast in a path expected to keep the brunt of the storm away from land.
The hurricane prompted evacuation orders for the Outer Banks and other barrier islands further south as conditions were expected to worsen overnight.
By 11 p.m. EDT, Dennis was 125 miles south of Wilmington, with its top wind at 105 mph, and it had edged slightly toward the east. A hurricane warning was posted for much of the coast of North Carolina.
Winds were gusting 30 to 45 mph along the southern coast of the state by early evening, and rain pelted some coastal areas of the Carolinas. By midnight, winds there should reach up to 60 mph, forecasters said.
Dennis was moving north-northeast at 14 mph and expected to take a gradual turn to the northeast on Monday. The storm's track was far from certain, but the National Hurricane
Center said it did not think the storm would cross the coast.
"It weaves and bobs as it goes along," said Jerry Jarrell, the center's director.
He also cautioned that because of the hurricane's size, with tropical storm-force wind extending 200 miles from the center on Sunday, it doesn't have to come across the coastline to cause pretty strong winds.
Forecasters said winds approaching hurricane force could pass off the coast of Cape Fear near North Carolina's southernmost tip at sunrise Monday. Hurricane force winds were expected to remain offshore.
Shelters remained emptier than in previous seasons, as many residents decided to board up their homes and wait out the storm. Trask Middle School, an acting Red Cross shelter in Wilmington, held 95 evacues at 11:30 p.m. Sunday, said Judy Saunders, shelter manager. "It's just been a trickle," she said.
In South Carolina, officials closed 13 shelters around Charleston after just 40 people showed up.

Sunday night as the fringe of the storm dumped heavy rain on the area. They joked about the 4 feet of water that filled their home when Hurricane Hugo slammed into the area 10 years ago.
Given that, Sunday night's rain — more than a half-inch fell at North Myrtle Beach during the first couple of hours — was not a concern, he said.
"I can't worry. I've got too much to lose," said Sizemore, 36, who rents a couple houses in the area.
Well in advance of the storm,
North Carolina Gov. Jim Hunt declared a state of emergency and a state of disaster, which allowed him to activate any resources necessary to cope with the storm.
Wrightsville Beach declared an 8 p.m. curfew Sunday, and Seymour Johnson Air Force Base sent aircraft to bases in Ohio to escape the storm. New Hanover County at Wilmington said schools, courts and offices would be closed Monday.
A hurricane warning was in effect from Little River Inlet, S.C., on the North Carolina-South Carolina line to Oregon Inlet, N.C. A hurricane watch and a tropical storm warning were in effect from Edisto Beach to Little River Inlet, S.C.
Along North Carolina's sandy, low-lying Outer Banks chain of barrier islands, evacuations started at 1 p.m. south of Oregon Inlet and at noon on Orcacock Island.
Dennis blew through the northern Bahamas on Saturday. Few homes were severely damaged, but several boats sank at marinas, said James Sweeting, assistant manager of the Divers down dive shop on Treasure Cay.

That means alcohol-free dorms and parties, agreements with local bars, advertising blitzes, notification of parents when their underage children are caught drinking — anything to get across the message that drinking can be dangerous.
EAST LANSING, Mich.— After too many drinks, a Cornell University student falls down a gorge and dies. At Michigan State University, a birthday celebration turns tragic after a student downs two dozen shots of booze. A Penn State University student is found clinging to life on her 21st birthday, her blood-alcohol level nearly seven times Pennsylvania's intoxication limit.
Jolted by such recent alcohol-related tragedies, colleges and universities around the country are planning aggressive campaigns this fall to curb heavy drinking among students.
The Associated Press
A measure of Spanier's commitment will be seen Sept. 10, when an ad campaign coordinated
"Our goal is not to do away with alcohol consumption — that's not a realistic goal — but to bring a level of social responsibility to alcohol," Penn State President Graham Spanier told the National Press Club last week.
That's the message that many schools are trying to convey to students: Excessive drinking isn't the norm among their classmates and abstinence is cool.
A 1998 Harvard University study found that 42.7 percent of students had been binge drinking in the two weeks before they were surveyed, down only slightly from 44.1 percent in a 1993 Harvard study.
"We hope this can help reassure students that they don't have to drink in order to fit in at Carolina," said Sue Kitchen, vice chancellor for student affairs at the University of North Carolina.
The recent study's author, Henry Wechsler of the Harvard School of Public Health, said that binge drinking rates varied widely depending on the campus, from 1 percent to nearly 80 percent of students. But one constant, he said, is that students usually believe drinking rates are higher than they actually are.
In Michigan, where last year two people died at Ferris State University and one at Michigan State, the state is training 1,600 resident assistants in alcohol intervention. Italo has granted $433,000 to 15 state universities for mentoring programs that pair older students with freshmen for non-alcoholic activities.
A University of North Carolina study released in August found that on the most popular nights to party — Thursday, Friday and Saturday — about two-thirds of the 1,790 students tested had no alcohol in their blood. Only one in 10 tested had a blood alcohol content that was at or above .10 percent.
Although statistics indicate that college drinking is down from a decade ago, several recent studies show that binge drinking — five or more drinks in one sitting for men, four for women — remains a serious problem.
by Penn State debuts in 20 national newspapers and on 113 campuses to call attention to the problem of heavy drinking.
Throughout the school year, other materials will focus on drinking's possible consequences, including drunken driving, missed classes and increased risk of sexual assault and other crimes.
Students returning to Dartmouth College will see ads describing a campus survey that showed 58 percent of students don't think alcohol is important at a party. The University of Arizona is also spreading the word that most students have four or fewer drinks when they party.
Those findings are touted in stickers and posters placed in students' dorms. Freshmen who display the posters in their room can get $50.

strings of steel
The plucky banjo thrives in American music culture despite a backwoods reputation
story by todd halstead • photos by sarah osbern
"The banjo is the lowest and most beautiful instrument at the same time."
Down in South Park,
under trees not with rain, the
remaining competitors in the 19th Annual Kansas State Picking and Fiddling Championships sat in groups playing music and spinning yarns about previous experiences and shows.
The scene could have been the same 100 years ago.
The banjo, one of the Aug. 22 festival's featured instruments, has long been the subject of scorn and ridicule because of its rural southern roots.
But several local troubadours who still wrinkle its strings of steel reflect upon why this hallowed musical heritage has survived.
"The banjo is the lowest and most beautiful instrument at the same time," said Ric Averill, Lawrence resident and banjo player of 25 years. "Most classical musicians would look in disdain at the banjo because they think it's a crude instrument."
He said that although classical musicians often dismissed the banjo, it frequently had been utilized in respected shows including Cabaret and Three Penny Opera.
The sounds emanating from the banjo express a history and timelessness not found in many instruments.
The banjo evolved from an African instrument made out of gourds that had skin stretched over them. In antebellum America, the slave trade introduced this instrument to the new world. Through years of modification, the banjo has become a creation of America and is synonymous with southern culture.
There are two common types of banjo, the tenor and the five-string. The tenor has four strings and is usually used in Dixieland Jazz and more traditional forms of banjo music. The five-string banjo is used for bluegrass music. The fifth string is shorter and is attached to a peg halfway down the neck. The resonator on the five-string is a round dish that sits around the head of the banjo. It ensures that vibrations coming out of the back are refocused and projected back through the head. This is in contrast to the open-back banjos that allow the body to absorb much of the sound, making it softer.
"The first reason people play banjos is that a guitar makes a lousy jam session instrument," said Steve Mason Lawrence resident. "To start with, it is not very loud, and you tend to show up at a jam session and there will be eight or ten other guitar players."
Luthiers repair or build instruments and must become proficient in any instrument on which they intend to work.
"These guys who play banjo tend to be more or less brains kind of people," said Mason, a luthier. A lot of them are mathematicians, a lot physicians, and a lot with Ph.D.s."
Mason, whose father was a professional violin maker and brother a guitar prodigy, learned to play the banjo
in 1968 to begin repairing them.
"The banjo is very scientific and mathematical," Mason said. "It takes a lot of practice and figuring out. It's very difficult to play."
Jim Rome, a judge at the competition at South Park, said playing the banjo was analytical and similar to a foreign language in that you had to learn the rules and the small details before you could put everything together.
"You can't just put it down and pick it up a year later and still be able to play well. Jerry Garcia called it a practice intensive instrument," Rome said. "You have to be fine tuned and kept tuned."
Rome, who has tinkled out bluegrass tunes on the banjo for 20 years, said the greatest satisfaction was to hear himself play and watch his fingers move.
"It pulses and pulses continuously throughout the music," he said. "I find that just lovely the way it rolls and continues to roll."
Rome teaches the third grade at New York Elementary School, 936 New York St. Often, he brings his banjo to school. In front of his class, he sits and strums musical scales to teach the children listening skills and how to pick out tones.
"I want to show them that the banjo is worthwhile to listen to," Rome said.
"I want them to see that they know a real person who plays music and that it's really fun."
Like Rome, the festival also sought to educate. Mike Rundle, the director of the competition, said that the goal of the festival was to inform people about acoustic music in an age of so many options
The music that comprised the South Park competition was produced by a wide variety of folk artists wishing to perpetuate acoustic instruments in an age in which modernity has left its mark on the music world.

When the rain finally stopped at the festival, a winner of the banjo competition was selected.
Rome, the judge, said:"He is a great player, very lovely to listen to. Bart was a clear winner in my mind and of those of the other judges."
Bart Smith, Lawrence resident, stepped on the stage to accept his award.
Smith, humble in his victory, said: "It's a very pleasant surprise. It sounded like everyone played really well to me. The audience was great; they seemed to appreciate the music."

Play on words: banjo lingo
Banjeaurine: A banjeaurine is a short-necked five-string banjo used as the tenor voice in banjo orchestras at the turn of the century.
Boomalacka: A word that describes the sound of one of the common clawhammer rhythms. The boomalaka rhythm uses four eighth notes with an accent on the third.
Clawhammer: A banjo-playing style that consists of a downstroke, where the top of the finger nail of the index or middle finger strikes a string or strings and the thumb catches on the fifth string. The thumb releases, sounding the fifth string on the offbeat.
Scruggs style: This style is the basic bluegrass threefinger style of banjo-playing. Named after Earl Scruggs, it involves working the melody into a near constant stream of notes called roles. For emphasis, the melody notes are usually played with the thumb.
Picolo Banjo: The smallest member of the banjo family. Turn-of-the-century banjo orchestras used the piccolo banjo as the soprano voice.
Whyte Laydie: The A. C. Fairbanks Whyte Laydie is probably the most highly sought-after old-time banjo. They were first made in 1902 and continued to be built into the 1920s.

Kansas shows heart, promise despite its loss
OK, so that's not exactly how Coach Allen drew it up on the ol' chalkboard.
The Jayhawks went to South Bend, Ind., to do one thing, and one thing only — win a football game.
But we lost 48-13. Huge disappointment, right?
I don't think so. And neither should you. Let's talk about some of the positives. David Winbush — sure, 77 yards in 16 carries isn't earth-shattering, and he did fumble the ball twice early in the game, but Winbush proved to me that he will be one of the premier backs in the Big 12 Conference. And I'm not just saying that because we 5-foot-7 guys have to stick together. The guy can take a hit. He goes through the line look
ing to break some tackles and isn't afraid to stick his hat into somebody. He also made a few jaw-cracking blocks on guys twice his size when Mr. Smith was scrambling.
And how about this jiu- confer with the funny pronunciation? Dylen has some serious athletic ability. It's nice to see Kansas with a strong-armed quarterback who scram-

and if Saturday's game was any indication,
he's gonna need to
so let me guess. You knew Wegner would complete 10 of 19 passes in the first half for 104 vards and two touchdowns. right? Sure you did.
Well jump aboard, there's still room on the Zac bandwagon right next to me. I have to admit that I was actually hoping that he wouldn't play this season. Not that he would be injured or anything like that, (though I've heard a few students mumbling that they would settle for that) but just that he would hang up the cleats and let us move into a new era.
Here's my fun statistic for the day:
But I guess someone decided he is part of the new era. Despite that one picked-off pass where the defensive back just happened to guess correctly, Wegner played a fantastic game. The guy is one hit away from never putting on a helmet again, or worse, and he's in there taking hits and giving it his all. I was impressed. And I'll bet I wasn't the only one.
Notre Dame was called for three penalties for a total of 24 yards. I know that it was a fairly clean game, but give me a break. A team with four new offensive starting lineman didn't get a single holding penalty in the first game of the season. I saw at least three blast holdings in the first half alone. Of course, I did have that perfect angle from my couch.
And did I miss the press conference where the NCAA determined that Notre Dame players don't actually have to cross the goal line with the ball to score a touchdown? Two touchdowns should have been touchbacks and a third was questionable, although the Irish would have had second-and-goal inside the one.
The referees couldn't throw those touchdown signals up fast enough. I thought I was watching the PGA Tour. "That's close enough, just pick it up from there." My favorite was when the referee walked up to Arnaz Battle and said, "Don't toss away the ball before you get to the end zone, you're making us look bad." OK, so I might have paraphrased a little.
Don't worry Terry, I'm looking into buying us our own national TV station, and all the "perks" that apparently come with it. Somebody has to compete with the Notre dame Broadcasting Company.
James is a Hugoton senior in journalism.
naine Broadway of the negative talk, though. We did get beat. But we also moved the ball fairly easily against one of the nation's elite. And at times played some tough defense. There's not a lot you can do when the offense hands them the ball four times.
offense takes place.
A few other things impressed me as well.
When your starting running back goes to the coach and says, "take me out, I'm hurting the team," you know we have unselfish players.
This 1999 Kansas football team has some serious heart, and Saturday I was proud to call myself a Jayhawk. And because we played a tough team early in the season we are going to be ready for the Big 12 schedule. Mark my words, we will beat two upper echelon conference teams this season.
even I just pray that one of them is wearing purple.
Turnovers lead to Kansas defeat
Jayhawks hold Irish scoreless for a quarter
By Mike Miller sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — To look for the silver lining in Saturday's 48-13 loss to No. 18 Notre Dame, the Kansas football team should focus on the second quarter.
The Jayhawks outgained the Fighting Irish by more than 100 yards and outscored them 13-0 in that quarter. The
Kansas defense blocked a field goal and sacked Notre Dame quarterback Jarious Jackson for a huge loss, which helped set up a Kansas touchdown and intercepted Jackson late in the quarter. After the interception, Zac Wegner threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Terminale Fulton with 2 seconds left in the half, cutting Notre Dame's lead to 20-13.
But Kansas' dominating play stayed in the second quarter. The Jayhawks ended up allowing 452 yards of total offense, including 363 yards rushing.
"It hurts. It really does. We had a golden opportunity to come into this place and we should've capitalized on it," wide receiver Michael Chandler said.
Clearly, the difference was the turnovers and what each team did with the opportunities.
Notre Dame scored 20 points off of Kansas' four turnovers, while the Jayhawks managed only seven points from four Notre Dame gaffes.
Allen kept repeating about how critical
mental mistakes were. His team turned the ball over three times in the first five minutes of the game, regrouped to come within seven points, and then surrendered 28 points in the second half.
"The number of times we shot ourselves in the foot was a factor," he said.
Running back David Winbush, who fumbled five times all of last season, was so upset about his two fumbles in the first five minutes of the game that he asked Allen to be taken out of the game.
"That was the worst half of football that I have personally played since I started playing football," Winbush said.
But Allen would have none of it.
"He was upset and disappointed and
But Allen would have none of it.
DONALD T. BURKE
He was upset that disapproval and wanted to go crawling home," Allen said. "He was man enough to go back out there."
Not only Winbush, but the entire team came out and started dominating the ball in the second quarter.
The Jayhawks dominated the Irish on both sides of the ball, giving up only 53
yards of offense. The Irish running game had been contained and the Kansas offense started to move the ball.
"You know, we were down 20 and we just said screw it, let's go, let's start throwing it. And we ended up doing some good stuff," Wegner said.
"We were picking up the blitz better, we took some time, made the right reads and things started happening."
Blessed with good field position twice in the final six minutes of the half, Kansas made good on its opportunity with two touchdown passes.
In the end, the Jayhawks showed promise, but that only served to frustrate them more.
"I don't know if you ever get over something like this." Allen said.
"When you have an opportunity such as this, and you can see the things that come from it and you let the things you talk about on a daily basis come up and bite you."

Freshman end surprises coach
Sands seizes day, makes impact
By Mike Miller
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Forced into the starting role Saturday against Notre Dame, redshirt freshman Justin Sands gave the Jayhawks something to smile about for the future.
Sands, a 6-foot-7, 275 pound defensive end, was a bright spot for the Kansas defense. He blocked a punt, intercepted a pass and made six tackles, the fourth highest Kansas total in the game.
"Justin Sands did a good job. He's going to be an outstanding football player," coach Terry Allen said.
Starting in place of senior Dion Johnson, who was suspended along with offensive linemen Gabe Rosalis and Jason Stevenson, Sands played and contributed much
more than Allen thought he would.
"I had no idea. Coach said stay by and I'll put you in," he said.
"We asked him to play too many plays today. It's going to be nice to have some other guys to put in there," he said. The amount of playing time was a bit of a surprise to Sands. He knew would get in some during the game, he just didn't know it would be for most of the game.
Sands, a native of Lawton, Iowa, didn't take much time to reflect on his performance. Instead — like many of his teammates — his surly mood reflected the game's outcome
"I don't know what to think right now," he said. "I'm not very happy."
Whether that was from the game or from the cramps he suffered at the end — mostly because of dehydration — Sands' impact could not be ignored.
His blocked field goal denied Notre Dame their best scoring opportunity in the second quarter, while his interception late in the quarter showcased soft hands for

someone his size—especially for someone who doesn't drop back into pass coverage too often.
“It's not something we work on.” Sands said. “I just dropped back when Coach told me to."
If the Jayhawks do begin to practice having their linemen drop back into coverage, they'll also need to practice returning interceptions. Sands returned the ball ten yards, but was quickly tackled by Irish quarterback Jarious Jackson.
"If I intercept one again, maybe I'll try not to look so confused. Maybe I'll look like I know what's going on," Sands said.

Taped wrists pump up soccer team for a victory
By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwrite
A little bit of tape can make a big difference. The Kansas women's soccer team sported a new look yesterday, wearing white athletic tape around their wrists. The tape boasted one simple word — "WIN."
And the Jayhawks did, pounding the Wyoming Cowgirls 4-1 at Super Target Field, which improved the team to 1-1 for the season.
"We just decided we needed a little pick-me-up when we were on the field," senior midfielder Melissa Downing said. "If we
ever feel it's getting too hard, we're getting too hot or getting too tired, we just look at our wrists and realize why we're out here."
The Jayhawks got off to a quick start as junior midfielder Johanna Larsson was on the receiving end of passes from junior Kylie Watts and senior Cynthia Dahle and put Kansas on the board 1-0 in the third minute of action.
The Cowgirls responded with a goal of their own 17 minutes later. Wyoming forward Laura Micell scored off a corner kick and tied the game. The score would stay the same for the remainder of the half. Micell's goal proved to be the final highlight for the

Cowgirls: they would not score again.
Ten minutes later Larsson found the net for her second goal of the game. Haven launched a perfect pass from midfield over the heads of the Wyoming defense. Larsson played a control bounce off her chest and
The Jayhawks came out firing again in the second half. They struck in the 51st minute as junior midfielder Colleen Colvin Jr. took a Meghann Haven pass and lofted it just beyond Wyoming goalkeeper Amanda Vandervort's outstretche arm.

HOROSCOPES
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is an 8.
The work's interesting, and the money's great, but it's not clear what the job is, exactly. Are you thinking about starting a business of your own? If so, something related to sports — or children — would be good. This is a great day to launch into it.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is an 8.
You should be getting up to stride today. There's way too much to do in the morning, but somehow it's not phasing you. You're not as easily rattled as you have been. You're confident and growing more sure of yourself every minute. It's a confidence you've earned, by the way, so flaunt it.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is an 8.
The great feeling you had going this weekend could carry over and inspire you to try something outrageous. Could be you've been doing your job the hard way. Maybe if you had a team to help, the job would be more fun. There may be some opposition. This is where your planning comes in.
Cancer (June 22-July 22):Today is a 6.
People should be in a good mood this morning. That's important 'cause it can set the tone for your whole day. It'll still be relatively easy to make changes if you move quickly. Don't hesitate to ask for what you want; your chances are better now.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):Today is an 8.
You'll feel pretty feisty this morning — and hopefully not too hung over. You'll have a little slack. The boss isn't going to make any big demands on you until tomorrow. It might benefit you, however, to get prepared. Leo is, after all, the sign of scouting.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 6.
You might be in a romantic mood, but it may be difficult to make the connection — at a reasonable hour, anyway. Once the day's underway, there'll be so much to do, you won't have time. A phone call or brief conversation may have to suffice. In that conversation, set something up for tomorrow night.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 6.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 6.
Where's the money coming from? That's what you has worried, so today, why don't you do something about it? Figure out where the money is, for starters. There's plenty. Getting it into your bank account is the game.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is an 8.
There's plenty of work today; that's for sure. You may not have time for a coffee break, much less lunch. The good news is that you may even get to work some overtime! That's good because if it happens, your paycheck gets fatter.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 9
You should be clicking right along today. You'll be quick, effective and cheerful, too. You might start drawing attention. That could also cause trouble. Don't get cocky. Watch what you say. Don't hurt anyone's feelings. If you don't know the answer, don't make one up
P
Cipriani (22 Jan. 1979) is a 7.
You're just about to go into a nice phase. You're looking better every minute and attracting quite a bit of attention. You've thought of yourself as a hard worker, but you have thought of yourself as a cuddle bunny? Well, get used to it! Actually, Capricorn is one of the most sensual signs in the zodiac. Today, make time to practice.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 6.

Penn State outdoes Nebraska in Classic
LINCOLN, Neb. — Although consecutive season-opening losses to nationally ranked teams does not necessarily mark the start of a losing streak, Lauren Cacciamiani of Penn State did not want to take any chances.
Cacciamani recorded 29 kills, and Carrie Schonveld added 17 more to lead No. 1 Penn State to a 11-15, 15-12, 15-8, 16-14 win against No. 3 Nebraska in the consolation game of the State Farm Classic.
The Huskers (0-2) and Nittany Lions (1-1) were each trying to avoid a first 0-2 start in school history. The Nebraska defeat marks the first time the Huskers' volleyball team had lost two straight games at home since 1980.
TRACK AND FIELD
Johnson, Greene carry Americans to victory
SEVILLE, Spain—Golden Boys Michael Johnson and Maurice Greene put their special golden touches on the final day of the World Championships. Each anchored a winning United States relay yesterday and entered their names prominently in the championships' record book.
Johnson, winner of his fourth straight 400-meter title earlier in world record time, ran a sizzling leg in bringing the U.S. 1,600-meter relay team home in 2:56.45, the year's fastest time and the seventh-best ever. It was the Americans' third consecutive title, each relay anchored by Johnson.
Johnson, who also owns two-200 titles, now has nine gold medals at the World Championships, the most by any athlete — one more than Carl Lewis.
"It's an honor," Johnson, timed in 43.50, said of breaking Lewis' record. "It's a testament to what I've tried to do in my career: to be consistent, and go into every championships on the top of my game and go in to win."
The enthusiastic Greene, the 100 and 200 champion, overcame Britain's Dwain Chambers on the final leg of the 400 relay with a sensational 9.12 effort, carrying the Americans to victory at 37.59, the fastest time in the world this year and the fifth-best ever.
North Korean runner takes home the gold
SEVILLE, Spain — Jong Song Ok of North Korea brought her country its first medal ever in the World Championships, winning the women's marathon gold medal yesterday in 2 hours, 26 minutes, 59 seconds.
Art ichihashi of Japan — who wore silver shoes in the race — took silver in 2:27:02. The bronze went to Romanian Lidia Simon, in 2:27:41.
Jong entered a near-empty stadium and — without a North Korean flag in sight — waved a white towel to celebrate, then wasted little time dedicating the victory.
"I imagined in my mind the image or our Korean leader, Kim Jong Il, and this inspired me today," Jong said. "This was the source of my power."
"Yes, I am a new marathon runner in the eyes of the rest of the world. Hopefully they will know me better in the future."

Game's intangibles will help Kansas in next battle
Continued from page 1B
Allen tried to look past the final score, instead focusing on why Kansas played against Notre Dame. Was this game worth playing?
The game worth playing? Absolutely", he said.
"Hopefully the kids walk out of here and realize that from a physical standpoint, they can play with these types of teams."
The intangibles gained during the game — experience and confidence — will help the Jayhawks avoid the nasty things that bite back. It may have been the little things that bite, but when asked if he thought the score was not indicative of the game, Fulton summed up the Jayhawks' day.
"A loss is a loss; the score doesn't matter." Fulton said.

buried the shot into the left side of the goal, giving Kansas a 3:1 lead.
Kansas' final goal came with three seconds remaining in the match. Melanie Schroeder took a free kick, placing the ball right in front of the goal, and connected with a charging Downing, who was there for the finish.
"You've gotta be happy when you score four goals against anybody," coach Mark Francis said. "Especially from past experience, the last couple of games we've had some chances that we didn't put away."
Offense was a top priority for the Jayhawks.
"We definitely wanted to come out and score a lot more goals," Colvin said. "That's what you've gotta do to beat the other team."
The win marked the first victory for the Jayhawks this season. Kansas dropped their season opener to Colorado 2-1 on Friday. Schroeder scored the Jayhawks' only goal against the Buffaloes, as Colorado struck twice in the final 24 minutes of the game and spoiled a solid debut as a starter by senior goalkeeper Betsy Pollard.
Francis was pleased with his team's strong showing.
"I think we definitely had something to prove, not so much to anybody else rather than to ourselves, to each other, that we actually can go out and get the job done and finish it off which is something we didn't do Friday, but I talked today we did," Francis said.

JOIN A BOWLING LEAGUE Jaybowl KANSAS UNION
WHAT: Bowling Leagues - run 13 weeks
But yesterday, forward Johanna Larsson provided some much-needed goal scoring in Rantala's absence.
By Brad Hallier
WHERE: Kansas Union Jaybowl
KS
When Kansas forward Hilla Rantala went down with a sprained ankle in the first minute of a 2-1 loss to Colorado on Friday, Kansas coach Mark Francis knew it wouldn't be easy to replace the Javahaws' highly touted forward.
After all, Rantala, who transferred to Kansas from South Alabama last year, had more goals (27), assists (27) and points (81) in only two years than the entire Kansas team had of all last season.
WHEN: Leagues start on Mon., Aug. 30, Tues., Aug. 31, Wed., Sept. 1

Larsson scores 2 in win, ties record
COST: $4 per night
Larsson started the scoring in only the third minute when she was left unmarked inside the Cowgirl penalty area, and she touched in a pass from defender Kylie Watts.
Larsson scored a pair of goals, tying the Kansas single-game record, and the Jayhawks rolled to a 4-1 win against Wyoming yesterday at Super Target Field. The win snapped the Jayhawks' streak of 11 winless games, dating back to last season, and the win was Francis' first as coach for the Jayhawks.

"I gota show what I can do when I get the chance," she said. "I made some mistakes on Friday, and today I made up for them. It's just a matter of recovering from a loss, and you gotta move on."

Larsson's goals were her first since she scored a goal at Miami (Fla.) in the second match of last year. After starting the first six games last year, her playing time was reduced, and she didn't start another game. But she started yesterday, and she said yesterday's performance proved to her that she could still get it done on the attack.
"Johanna was great," Francis said. "When you have one of your best players out, you look for somebody else to step up offensively and take that responsibility, and she did that today."

the game.
After beating two defenders, midfielder Megham Haven lofted a picture-perfect 40-yard pass to Larsson right outside the Cowgirl penalty area. She settled the ball on her chest and poked a shot Wyoming goalkeeper Amanda Vandervort.
"All I thought was 'composure, composure,'" Larsson said. "I had the same situation on Friday, and I didn't want that to happen again."
Francis praised Larsson's second goal as well.
"Both goals she scored were very well done, particularly the third one when she brought the ball down on her chest," Francis said.
"You always want to score as much as you can," she said. "As long as we win and as long as I can create opportunities for us to win, I'm satisfied."
But Larsson didn't want to stop at two goals. In the 72nd minute, she nearly became the first Jayhawk in history to tally a hat trick — three goals in the same game — but her off-balance shot from eight yards out skimmed the crossbar.

Volleyball team conquers alumnae in tuneup match
By Shawn Hutchinson
sports@kanson.com
Kanson sportswritter
The Jayhawks blitzed the alumnae in the first game 15-0, as Myatt picked up all of her team-high six aces.
The third game was a showcase for the Jayhawks middle blockers and outside hitters. Walker had five kills and an ace, Albrecht had three kills and Geronymo dominated with two kills and a block.
"I think we can probably play a lot better, but this gives us a comfort zone of having played in kind of a match-type environment," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "We know it's going to be a lot more competitive on Wednesday, and we're going to have to react."
The team was led by a handful of players in the second game, as freshman Jennifer Kraft picked up an ace, Bell picked up three kills and senior Anné Kreimer, nursing a knee injury, registered two kills as well.
Reves took control of the fourth game, showing why she was an All-Big 12 performer last season. The senior picked up five kills and one of her two aces.
The Jayhawks did just that Saturday night, reacting to everything that the 11 former players could throw at them. A different player for Kansas starred in each game.
Taking the Next Step... 1999 Jayhawk Volleyball Home games played in the Horejsi Family Athletic Center
The 1999 Kansas volleyball team did exactly the opposite Saturday night. The team defeated a collection of former Jayhawks in an alumnae match at Horejsi Family Athletics Center, 15-0, 15-7, 15-8, 15-11 and 11-15.
The victory by the current Jayhawks could serve as a momentum booster as they head into their regular season opener Wednesday against Missouri-Kansas City at the Horejsi Center.
The teams were scheduled to play a best-of-five contest, but decided at the start of the match to play five games regardless of the outcome.
There was one other key performer for the Jayhawks — sophomore setter Molly LaMere had 44 sets, 11 digs and three kills.
Kansas' performance was enough to catch the eyes of at least one former player. Laura Rohde, who was the team's starting setter last season, sees a good future for these 1999 Jayhawks.
Senior middle blocker Amanda Reves had 15 kills. Junior college transfer Danielle Geronymo had 11. Junior Amy Myatt and sophomore Crystal Walker had six apice, while senior Mary Beth Albrecht and junior Nancy Bell both chipped in with five.
"They have looked a lot better than they have in the past," Rohde said. "I just think all around they have improved and have been working very hard in

the preseason and I hope they have a very good year."
For the Jayhawks to do that, the team must work on some problem areas that may have been exposed on Saturday night. Bechard said the team's transition game could use some fine-tuning, while Reves said the Jayhawks must work on simply loosening up.

Men's golf to shoot for another title
Two freshmen vie for spot on squad
By Brent Briggeman
sports @kanson.com
Kansas sportwriter
Last year's Kansas men's golf team won the Big 12 Conference championship, the only Kansas team to win a conference title, and finished in the top 30 in the country.
This season, the Jayhawks will have to do without the only two time All-American in school history, Chris Thompson. Thompson graduated in May.
Despite losing Thompson, who was last year's Big 12 tournament runner-up, Coach Ross Randall is looking for even better things from this year's team when practice starts Wednesday.
"Losing Chris will be tough. He was a great player." Randall said. "The way we respond to playing without him will definitely be one of the keys to the season."
"Chris was definitely our leader last season," senior Jake ltstnick
said. "He wasn't a real vocal leader, but he had been around the longest, and we knew we could always count on him to come through with a good round. This year we'll just have to fill in the gaps and come together as a team."
Stepping into Thompson's role will be senior Ryan Vermeer. Vermeer also was named to the All-American team after tying for 23rd in the NCAA tournament last spring.
Vermeer led the team in scoring average last year with 73 strokes a round, and he finished in the top 10 in half of the 14 tournaments he played. He also posted the team's two best rounds of the season, both at the Missouri Bluffs tournament, which he won.
"Ryan's had a great summer," Randall said. "He advanced to the National Amateur and advanced to match play. Every year he's been with us he's shown improvement, so if that's any indication, this could be a big year for him."
Randall believes this year's team will be even deeper than last year's conference champion squad. Last year's finish earned Randall his
third conference Coach of the Year award in his 20 years at Kansas.
"Last year we really felt like we were one of the top 10 teams in the country," Randall said. "Things didn't work out like that, but when you figure that only 30 teams out of probably 280 make it to nationals, we can't really complain. This year we expect to be there again.
"We've got a lot of very good players coming back," Randall said. "If everyone continues to improve I think we should be as successful, if not more successful, than we were last year. The real key to the year will be if Brad Davis can play to his old level."
KU golf
An accident after the Big 12 Championship put an early end to Davis' season. A railing he was leaning on at an apartment complex broke, and Davis fell more than 14 feet, landing on his feet. He fractured a foot in nine places and injured his back.
" (Davis) just got out of his cast and
still can't walk very well." Randall said. "We don't have any timetable for his return, but we hope he will return to form."
Key golfers returning to this year's squad are seniors Istnick, Conrad Roberts and sophomore Casey Harbour.
"Andy's always been a good player, but this summer he really seems like he's ready to get serious and be one of the starters," he said.
linstick is expecting a good year out of junior Andy Stewart as well.
freshman, Tyler Hall of Wayne, N.J., and Brett Tobyne of Lakewood, Colo., will be vying for a spot on the varsity squad.
"Both freshman are very good players," Randall said. "They've both impressed the older players already in the few rounds they've played together."
Randall said he typically redshirts his freshman, but that will be decided by how the two newcomers perform in practice.
The team will swing into action Sept. 12 and 13 in Lincoln at the Nebraska Invitational.

Miami victory signals return from probation
100s Announcements
EAST RUTHERFORD. N. J. The Miami Hurricanes waited four years to get back in the national championship race.
The win was the biggest for the Hurricanes since the school was placed on NCAA probation for numerous infractions and coach Butch Davis was hired to change Miami's bad-boy image and build another winner.
Although the game was sloppy at times, with numerous turnovers and penalties, Kelly made his first start a memorable one. The 6-foot-1, 195-pounder from Tampa overcame two fumbles and two interceptions and finished 17-of-25 for 245 yards.
The Associated Press
Kenny Kelly threw for one touchdown, ran for another and converted a pair of 2-point conversions in leading No. 12 Miami to a 23-12 victory against No. 9 Ohio State in the Kickoff Classic yesterday.
1985 until a loss to Florida State in 1995 knocked them out of the rankings. The NCAA probation cut Miami's scholarships so severely that the Hurricanes had 58 players on the roster at one point.
Miami won four national titles from 1983-81 under three coaches,

Warrick and Seminoles begin championship hunt
"Warrick's run was unbelievable." Louisiana Tech coach Jack Bicknell said. "When you play against people like that, that's what they do. They make huge plays for their team."
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida State's Peter Warrick came back to college for his final season with a purpose: He wants a national championship on his resume when he turns pro.
Warrick's slithering 20-yard touchdown run late in the first half broke a 7-7 tie as the top-ranked Seminoles overcame a sluggish start to take a 41-7 victory on Saturday against Louisiana Tech.
from quarterback Chris Weinke and ran laterally across the field — reversing direction twice to elude several Bulldogs defenders — before racing upfield to the end zone to give the Seminoles a 14-7 lead 39 seconds before halftime.

"I thought we had him tackled 15 times," said Bicknell, who was making his debut as a college coach. "I said, 'OK, he's down' and the next thing I know he keeps going. That was frustrating."
Warrick, who also caught nine passes for 121 yards, took a handoff
"It happened so fast," Warrick said. "When I ran to the left and came back to the right and I saw the middle, I said, 'Oh, yeah, this is going to be nice.'"
Earlier in the same possession,

Wolfpack's blocked punts save game against Texas
The Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas—There is life in North Carolina State after Torry Holt. It's just on the other side of the ball.
punts," North Carolina State coach Mike O'Cain said.
North Carolina State continued its tear of early-season upsets Saturday night, using three blocked punts and a stingy second-half defense to pull out a 23-20 victory against No. 17 Texas in the Black Coaches Association Classic.
Terrence Holt, younger brother of the departed All-American wide receiver, blocked two punts that were converted into touchdowns for North Carolina State.
With the Wolfpack trailing 20-15 with 3:32 left, Holt sprinted in from the right side to get a piece of Ryan Long's pount at the Texas 48. Eric Leak, who blocked a punt in the first half that led to a safety, picked up the loose ball and ran it in for the go-ahead touchdown.
Quarterback Jamie Barnette found Chris Coleman in the corner of the end zone for the two-point conversion and 23-20 lead.
"I've never been associated with a game in which we won in this fashion, with so many blocked
They had to. North Carolina State's offense struggled all night. Barnette, the ACC total offense leader in 1998, was constantly harassed by Texas pass rushers and finished 9-of-26 for 65 yards with one interception.

Penn State mauls Arizona 41-7 at home
STATE COLLEGE, Pa.—LaVar Arrington is fine, and may be even more significant for Penn State is the offense is pretty good, too.
The Associated Press
"I was surprised, pleasantly," Arrington, the Nittany Lions' star linebacker, said after No. 3 Penn State overwhelmed No. 4 Arizona 41-7 in Saturday's Pigskin Classic. "After the touchdown on the first drive, I said, 'Oh man, they went out and did their thing, so now we've got to go out and do our thing."
Arrington led a defense that shut down the Wildcats' high-powered offense, while Kevin Thompson threw for two touchdowns, Chafie Fields ran 70 yards for a score and caught a 37-yard pass for another as Penn State took a 31-0 halftime lead and coasted to victory.
The Nittany Lions held the quarterback tandem of Keith Smith and Ortege Jenkins in check, and Trung Candidate, the Pac-10's leading rusher last year, finished with just 31 yards on 10 carries.
Arrington left the game after making his seventh tackle, bothered by cramps and dehydration. In the locker room, he said he was OK and doesn't expect to miss practice next week.
Penn State rolled up 504 yards against the Wildcats, who endured their worst loss since a 56-14 defeat to Arizona State in 1996.

The second meeting of top-five teams in a "preseason" game was a mismatch from the start, much to the delight of the crowd of 97,168, third-largest in Penn State history. In Joe Paterno's 50th year at Penn State — his 34th as coach
The game was never close, even though both teams came into Beaver Stadium with visions of a national title. The Lions gave every indication they will be a key player along the road to a championship game in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 4, while the Wildcats must regroup and set their sights on the Pac-10 title and a Rose Bowl berth
"This needed to happen to us because we wanted to experience a good team like this," Arizona coach Dick Tomey said. "They whipped in every aspect of the game."
— getting off to a big start was important.
"Any game you win by that amount, against a good team like Arizona. I'd say it's a statement game," Arrington said.
"we fooled 'em." Paterno said.
"We did some things they weren't ready for. I'm a little disappointed we didn't run more consistently, but we made the big plays, which is what you have to do against a team like Arizona that comes at you."

New quarterback Smith suffers concussion near end of game
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The concussion bug has bitten Kansas' quarterbacks again.
In the wake of a disappointing 48-13 loss to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Kansas received more bad news when it was discovered that quarterback Dylan Smith had suffered a second-degree concussion.
Smith's concussion came only months after incumbent senior quarterback Zac Wegner was cleared to play by his doctors. Wegner suffered three concussions, two on the field and one off, in 1988.
Smith's received the concussion with only 1.55 left in Saturday's loss when he scrambled out of the pocket and was hit by Notre Dame defensive lineman Ryan Roberts.
The concussion was a down point in the day where Smith made his major college debut after entering the game midway through the third quarter. Smith split time with Wegner, who started and also finished the game after Smith's injury. Kansas coach Terry Allen was pleased that both Smith and Wegner saw playing time on Saturday, but remained unconvinced about their level of play.
Doug Vance, Kansas' assistant athletics director, said it remains unknown how much time Smith will miss because of the injury.
"We liked the fact that they both got snaps." Allen said. "Obviously, we would have liked for them to do so in a little better fashion, but it's nice for us to have two quarterbacks."
Wegner passed for the only two Jayhawk touchdowns and threw for 124 yards, but he also threw two costly interceptions. Wegner's first
interception was returned 22 yards for Notre Dame's second touchdown, and the second one resulted in a missed Jim Sanson field goal. Also, Wegner's third quarter fumble was ran back 31 yards by Notre Dame's Anthony Denman to make the score 34-13. After the game, Wegner spoke about the costly mistakes.
"I don't feel like I played great, and I don't feel like I played horribly, either," Wegner said. "We did some very costly things in the first quarter, obviously, with my interception and two fumbles."
"There were some encouraging things today." Wegner said. "We were down by 20, came back and scored 13 points, but it was all downhill from there. But that was probably the only good about today. We can't put our defense in a situation like that if we want to be a successful football team."
Fans get dose of tradition
Wegner also was encouraged by the way his team battled back from a 20 point first-quarter deficit.
Smith, meanwhile, only threw nine passes on Saturday that resulted in 25 yards. Smith had one near touchdown pass to redshirt freshman Anton Paige batted away at the last second by Irish safety Deke Cooper.
Kansas great enjoys Notre Dame's aura
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — While Kansas running back David Winbush was struggling with fumbleitis, former Kansas great Gale Sayers watched from the press box.
Sayers was the Jayhawks' ceremonial captain for the pre-game coin toss opposite former Irish great Paul Hornung. Although Sayers never had a chance to play at fabled Notre Dame Stadium as a Jayhawk, he was impressed with the stadium's aura.
"It's a great tradition here, and the fans get behind the players and the team," Sayers said. "It's great to go out on the field, and I still go goosebumps."
"They both did good things, and they both did bad things," Allen said.
One thing Sayers wasn't impressed with was the 1999 Jayhawk football team.
"I don't know how good ND is, but right now, Notre Dame looks better than Kansas." Sayers said. "(The Jayhawks) still have a long way to go. Many publications have them picked for sixth in the Big 12, and it'll be a difficult year if they can't improve on that. You need players. Right now, I'm not sure Kansas has the players to compete for a championship in the Big 12 Conference."
Smith will be re-evaluated this week in Lawrence, and the severity of his injury will be determined at a later time. Vance said.
Kansas had a chance to view Sayers' greatness first hand when they toured the College Football Hall of Fame, where Sayers is enshrined. The Jayhawks were treated to a post-prac-

Kansas can't blame the 35-point loss on a lack of support, as more than 6,000 Jayhawk fans made the 600-mile trip to South Bend to see the game. Although many fans left Indiana disappointed after the Kansas loss, they still felt the trip was worthwhile because of Notre Dame's impressive tradition.
The atmosphere surrounding Notre Dame Stadium impressed Jayhawk athletes who aren't on the football team. Both Corey Harrington, Lincoln, Neb., sophomore, and Ryan Klockstein, Minnekota, Minn., sophomore, play for the Kansas baseball team and made the trip from Lawrence. Harrington and Klockstein were impressed by both the Irish fans' spirit and the fact that the Jayhawks only trailed by seven points at halftime.
“This is football heaven,” said Jennifer Platter, Dll. Ind., junior. “Growing up in Indiana, all everybody ever talked about was Notre Dame football.”
The hall, built in 1995, is one of South Bend's largest attractions and features Kansas greats such Sayers, Ray Evans, and Tony Sands. The museum also features Kansas vs. Missouri in the "Great Rivalries" exhibit.
"This is both a beautiful campus and an awesome atmosphere," Harrington said. "The fact that we wung in the
"It's been a really nice trip," Valentine said. "There's a lot of Jayhawk fans here, and everyone's been really nice."

Some fans had more personal ties to the team. Lawrence resident Joanna Valentine was engaged in March to Jayhawk defensive lineman Jeremy Hanak.
ballgame was great. This can only boost their confidence."
Of course just because the Irish fans welcomed the Jayhawk fans doesn't mean the local police were nearly as accommodating.
tice lunch at the hall on Friday, then toured the building for almost two hours.
"it's been a great trip," Klockstein said. "We only got one speeding ticket."
Doherty's new home
As is the tradition before every football game, the students at Notre Dame threw a pep rally the night before the game. Friday's theme was "You're not in Kansas anymore," and featured "The Wicked Jawhack of the West."
Notre Dame game's basketball coach Matt Doherty, a former Jayhawk assistant coach under Roy Williams, also spoke at the rally.
"In 1931, the state of Kansas took Knute Rockne from us," said Doherty, referring to the plane crash at a Kansas farm that took Rockne's life. "Now it's time to get them back."
Doherty also received a standing ovation from the crowd and exchanged high fives with his players after his speech.

THE STUDENT NEWPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Endowment to start drive for funds
By Clay McCuistion
writer@kansan.com
Kanson staff writer
The Kansas University Endowment Association is gearing up for its third major fund-raising drive since 1966.
The independent Endowment Association hired Chicago-based Grenzebac, Glier and Associates Inc., a campaigning and fund-raising firm, to prepare for the capital campaign. The first step was a program audit, to help scrutinize the quality of programs in the University of Kansas and the Endowment. The audit is nearly finished, and a feasibility study — a survey of alumni determining the right time and goals for the campaign — should begin next month.
"We're right in the middle of the preparation process," said John Scarife, director of communications for the Endowment Association.
A 13-member campaign-organizing committee, which includes Chancellor Robert Hemenway and former Kansas Sen. Nancy Kassebaum Baker, has
guided the process since its initial meeting in February. The group assembled again in May and will meet for the third time in September.
(USPS 650-640)
The 108-year-old Endowment Association's last capital campaign, "Campaign Kansas," was from 1988 to 1992. Donors contributed $265.3 million during those four years.
And, Scarffe said, more money is needed.
"There is always great need at the University," Scarffe said. "To keep our fund raising increasing to meet the needs of the University, it would appear a campaign would be very helpful."
The association still solicits money, even if a major fund-raising drive isn't underway just yet. Last year, it contributed $44.4 million dollars to the University.
"The needs are so vast it's a challenge trying to meet those knowing we can only do so much." Scarfe said.

marketplace.
"The biggest challenge is marketing the University's needs in the philanthropic arenas." Seuferling said. "There are so many types of organizations and projects and needs."
Seufler said that the Endowment was unsure when the fund-raising push would start. Staff must first analyze data from the program audit and feasibility study, he said.
"We're closer to announcing a campaign today than we were yesterday or six months ago." he said.
Seuferling said that private funds were one way public universities could control their income in an age of uncertain or inadequate public funding.
"That's why I think you will see capital campaigns launched with greater frequency," Seuferling said.
"The Kansas University Endowment Association is the difference between KU being an average Midwestern university and being a major American university," Hemenway said. "Think of where KU would be if it had $40-46 million less to work with."
Hemenway said the Endowment was essential for the University's continued excellence.
The 1988-1992 "Campaign Kansas" shattered the Endowment's $177 million goal by $88.3 million. Hemenway said he hoped for similar success in the upcoming, as yet unnamed, fund-raising drive.
"Public universities today are much more involved in fund raising than they were 50 years ago," Hemenway said. "It does reflect the fact that higher education's percentage of the state budget has declined."

Wescoe lecture halls upgraded with video
By Lori O'Toole
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Jim Mielke has taught 15 classes in one of Wescoe Hall's largest lecture rooms in the past 20 years.
But this year is the first time that the professor of anthropology will be able to clearly display pictures of fossils showing human evolution, videos demonstrating primate behavior and newspaper headlines.
During the summer, facilities operations employees transformed Wescoe 3139 and 3140 into media classrooms, joining about 15 to 20 others that they began to install across campus two years ago.
Sandra Gautt, assistant provost and associate professor of special education, said the media classrooms included a video system built into a cabinet-like podium placed at the front of each room.
From there, professors and lecturers can control the room's lights and sound system. They can access the Internet or play videos and slides with the push of a few buttons.
Professors can also use the system's video technology to show objects, even if they are three-dimensional.
Mielke said that before the changes were made, he had to rely on people in booths in the back of the classroom to control the lights and sound and had to wheel a television on a cart into the classroom to show a video.
He said he hoped the new system helps him to teach certain issues, such as human evolution, more clearly.
Workers installed new projectors and new screens in the Wescoe classrooms to provide a clearer image.
"Iit really is a way to enhance instruction for students," Gautt said. "And we've actually just begun to tap the potential."
thirds by the state.
Gautt said that through the media classrooms, professors from across campus would be able to teach more effectively.
She said each media classroom cost $20,000 to $25,000. She said one-third of the cost was paid for by student fees and two
Gautt said construction was required in several classrooms when they were upgraded to a media classroom. She said construction costs were lessened by coordinating them with the Crumbling Classrooms project, which funds renovations of campus buildings.
She said the idea for the technologically enhanced classrooms resulted from requests from faculty members and the media classroom committee. The committee continues to target classrooms and plan technology additions.
Gautt has used the media classrooms while teaching.
"It allows me to present some concepts in a way that was very difficult when you only have a one-dimensional piece of equipment, such as a chalkboard or an overhead," she said.
Gautt said that she sent forms to all members of the teaching faculty in the spring to collect information about how they would use the technology in a media classroom while teaching.
Based on their feedback, she works to assign professors to the available media classrooms.
Gautt said the committee began to plan media additions in two smaller classrooms. She said they could be chosen for Blake or Fraser and would be completed by next fall.
"There's certain design standards we go by to make sure everyone can see the screen without a glare." Coulter said. "I try to place myself inside the rooms and figure out what seats would not be comfortable to sit in."
"We've been able to accommodate all but about two to three people," she said.
Chris Coulter, Mulvane senior, has begun to design another media classroom in 427 Summerfield Hall.
Coulter is majoring in architectural engineering and works part-time for design and construction management. He said he was working on the layout of the room.

Alcohol had role in wreck that killed 3 from Haskell
By Katie Hallar writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The Lawrence Police Department and Kansas Highway Patrol will continue to investigate Sunday morning's vehicular accident, Police Chief Ron Olin said yesterday.
At 7:47 a.m., a Chevy S-10 pickup flipped after running onto a set of railroad tracks parallel to Maple Street. Three of the truck's eight passengers were pronounced dead at the scene; three others were airlifted to area hospitals.
Investigators found alcohol at the scene of the accident, and Lawrence police think it was a factor in the accident.
Yesterday morning officials released the names of the truck's passengers. All had connections with Haskell Indian Nations University, as either current or former students. The eight men were driver Manuel Brown, brothers Kerry Jymm and Nielson Jymm, Clint Wahquahboshkuk, brothers Joshua Longhat and Yancy Longhat, Albert Whitebull and Ray "Mike" Redelk.
Redelk, Whitebull and Yancy Longhat, all current Haskell students, were dead at the scene. Yesterday afternoon, Joshua Longhat and Kerry Jymm remained in serious condition at the University of Kansas Medical Center, and Wahquahboshkuk was in critical condition at the Overland Park Regional Medical Center. Brown was released from Lawrence Memorial Hospital yesterday; Nielson Jymm was treated and released from Lawrence Memorial Sunday.
Brown and Nielson Jymm had the mildest injuries because they were seated inside the truck's cab and not ejected from the vehicle. Sgt. George Wheeler said. The other six passengers were seated in the bed of the truck.
"Id classify this as a tragic accident, one of the worst accidents I can recall in several years, especially when you have three young people lose their lives like that." Wheeler said.
Olin said there were 15 officers investigating the accident. Six are specially trained accident investigators; the other nine are detectives. Officers from the Kansas Highway Patrol also were helping with the investigation.
"We requested and received very good support from the Kansas Highway Patrol." Olin said.
A representative of the Douglas County District Attorney said no charges had been filed as of yet.

Allergies more than something to sneeze about, may take shot in arm
By Amber Stuever writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The allergen of the moment — ragweed — is lurking in the air, making students who suffer from allergies wheeze, cough, itch, ache and search for relief.
"It never ends for me," Stacy Abernethy, Leawood senior and severe allergy sufferer said. "I think it's going to get better, but it doesn't."
Abernethy, like millions of sufferers nationwide, is enduring the common symptoms of allergies:
itchy, red and watering eyes; sneezing; runny nose; coughing and sore throat.
The cause of the torment can be traced to allergens from animal dander, grass, weed pollen and other sources. John Martinez, Lawrence allergist said.
Most people suffer from allergies around the time seasons are changing.
Allergies occur when a body's immune system does its job too well, trying to protect the body from harmless allergens, Martinez said.
The pollen creating much of the problem these days comes from ragweed. Ragweed allergies will peak around Labor Day, but they are strong for about two weeks before and after this weekend.
"Allergies are the watchdog of the body's immune system barking at things it ought to leave alone," he said.
However, Martinez said, there is relief. The first step is to avoid the cause of allergies. This may involve getting rid of a pet or keeping windows closed to avoid pollen. An over-the-counter or prescription anti-histamine and decongestant also may suffice for minor allergies.
Sufferers with severe and recurrent problems should see an allergist. A skin test may be administered to decide which allergens should be avoided. If necessary, an allergist may prescribe allergy shots, Martinez said. At first, shots are taken once a week and then less frequently for an average of four to five years.
Severity of allergies depends on factors such as climate and the daily pollen count.
Abernethy, who gets a weekly allergy shot, said the injections helped, but that some days were worse than others.
Randall Rock, Watkins chief ot staff, said allergies were more than a seasonal problem for some people. Rock, who suffers from allergies himself, said anything from cigarette smoke to Christmas trees could cause allergies.
"Things in the environment are a year-long problem for a lot of people." he said.
Allergies are a problem that may change during a lifetime, Rock said.
"Lately the shots have been helping," Abernethy said. "But allergies this year are terrible. Everyone's having problems."
For example, a student going to college in a different region may develop allergies due to changes in climate or altitude. A person may take 2 to 5 years to get used to allergens in a region before symptoms kick in.
"They really didn't get bad until I came to KU," Abernethy said. "Freshman year, I was always sick."
Drugs can be prescribed or bought over-the-counter at Watkins. The health center cannot prescribe allergy shots, but it can administer injections for $5 per visit or $40 for a semester of visits.

Campus whistle down, temporarily weakened
Students had to set their alarm clocks and wind their watches yesterday.
The steam whistle was not working. George Cone, assistant director of mechanical systems at facilities operations, said he hoped to have the whistle blowing at full volume in one to two weeks.
"We want people to know we're working on it," he said.
Cone said facilities operations was doing a number of repairs on the whistle, which traditionally sounds at 20 minutes after the hour during the day to signal the end of classes and at 50 minutes past the hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
"It'll be a whistle upgrade," he said. Cone said one of the two main problems stemmed from the process of cleaning the boilers, which resulted in dissolved solids clogging the valve.
"We know it's going to happen, it just takes a bit of time for the boiler water to clean itself up," he said. "They're doing a fantastic job."
Cone said the other problem had to do with the air compressors that usually opened and closed the valve. Facilities operations continually changes the filters and is upgrading the air compressors, he said.
As a result, students will have to forego the hourly foghorn blast and settle for either a weak whistle or no whistle at all.
"I think more of the professors rely on it than the students." Cone said.

First lady sends video to violence conference
ROSEMONT, Ill.—First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton helped open a conference aimed at ending domestic violence with a videotaped message to more than 2,000 advocates, researchers and battered women.
"Citizens and governments around the world will recognize that domestic violence is not a custom, it is a crime," Clinton said in the video-taped message.
The four-day Next Millennium Conference, organized by the Justice Department and the Department of Health and Human Services, convened Sunday at a hotel near O'Hare International Airport.
"We'd like to see the next nenniumn be completely free of violence against women," said Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health Wanda Jones.
From 1992 to 1996, 21 percent of violence against women was initiated by a partner, according to a study by the Justice Department. In the same four-year period, 2 percent of violence against men was from domestic situations, the study said.
Officials scheduled to speak at the conference include U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Donna Shalala and U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, D.Calf.
Resources for victims of domestic abuse include a national domestic violence hot line at 1-800-799-SAFE where
battered women can talk to counselors.
Officials say this number can be used by women too scared to tell a friend or family member, who might tell the batterer and make the situation worse.
Victims of domestic abuse also are attending the conference.
Anna Belle Burleson of Austin, Texas,
said she spent 10 years in an abusive
marriage before getting a divorce.
"I finally left the relationship the night " looked death in the face," Burleson said. "The last time I was assaulted it was very severe, and I realized that if I did not get out of this relationship, I was going to be murdered."
Since the experience, Burleson has helped arrange retreats for women recovering from domestic violence.
Game show contestant wins more in second try
NEW YORK—The North Carolina graduate student who was mistakenly told he gave the wrong answer on a television quiz show increased his winnings in a return visit Sunday but backed out before answering a $250,000 question.
David Honea got his first question right as he continued an earlier run on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, but declined to answer the second, deciding instead to pocket the $125,000 he'd already won. He was three correct answers from winning a million dollars.
Host Regis Philbin told Honea on the Aug. 19 show that he was wrong when he said Lake Huron was the second-largest in area of the five Great Lakes. The show said Lake Michigan, but later admitted it had made a research error and invited Honea back.
Producer Michael Davies told Honea, a doctoral student in computer engineering, that he could keep the $64,000 he'd won and try to increase his winnings.
In a show taped Saturday and aired on ABC Sunday, Honea correctly answered the question "Which was the last horse to win the Triple Crown?" boosting his winnings to $125,000. The correct answer is affirmed.
He declined to risk part of that money on the next question,
"Approximately how much saliva does the average human adult produce each day?"
"I could take a guess, and I'd really like to keep playing for a million bucks," Honea said. "A hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars is more than I paid for my house. I can't risk that. I'm going to take my money."
Philbin gave Honea a check with his winnings and then let him guess at the correct answer with no money on the line. He got the right answer — a quart.

Milosevic's control of media blinds Serbs
The Associated Press
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia — NATO's inability to stop ethnic Albanian attacks against Serbs in Kosovo has given Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic a new, powerful weapon against opponents at home who demand that he step down.
Serbia's state-run media, controlled by Milosevic, report extensively on such attacks, sharply criticizing not only the ethnic Albanian perpetrators and NATO troops but also Serbian opposition leaders — denounced as collaborators with Western enemies of the Serb nation.
Milosevic is apparently trying to galvanize public opinion in Serbia and switch attention from growing demands for his removal. He used similar nationalist rhetoric in the past when he was in political trouble, triggering wars in the former Yugoslavia.
The issue of the rapidly diminishing Serb community in Kosovo — estimated at about 20,000 from a prewar population of 200,000 — is especially sensitive. Serbs consider the southern province their ancient heartland and the cradle of the Serb medieval state. It came under NATO-led control in June after Milosevac accepted a peace plan to end the 78-day NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.
The opposition accuses
Milosevic of losing Kosovo after needlessly entering a war against NATO. Milosevic — using his monopoly on the mass media — is trying to make people think that the opposition is working together with the United States to break Kosovo from Serbia forever.
Last week, Milosevic said the United States was allied with Kosovo Albanian murderers; drug traffickers and terrorists and suggested that their mercenaries in Serbia were linked to the alleged U.S. campaign against minority Serbs in the province.
Such talk often succeeds in Serbia, where opposition has little or no access to the media; The opposition thus has no choice but to join Milosevic in his Kosovo rhetoric. The result is that attention is deflected from Milosevic's disastrous policies onto nationalist issues such as Kosovo.
"The crimes against Serbs actually help Milosevic, because he is using them to put all the blame on the international community and on opposition parties," said Slobodan Vukasanovic, vice president of the opposition Democratic Party. "He diverts public attention to Kosovo from problems at home."
Opposition parties gingerly point out that the latest tragedy in Kosovo comes from Milosevic's February 1998 crackdown on independence-minded ethnic Albanians.

University should avoid year 2000 computer bug
By Nathan Willis
By Nathan Willis writer@kanson.com
Kansan stuff writer
The University of Kansas is bracing for the impact of the so-called year 2000 computer bug, and administrators in charge of dealing with the problem say
they're confident the action being taken will prevent chaos on Jan 1.
Even in the worst-case scenario, students should not return from winter break expecting to find a campus in electronic disarray, Gary Weishaar, associate director of engineering for facilities operations, said. But no one can know for sure until it actually happens, he said.
"Nobody's anticipating any problems. but
YEAR 2000
COMPLIANCE
Compliant systems:
- **Enrollment**
- **Libraries**
- **KU ID**
- **Network and modem connections**
- **Financial aid**
- **Admissions**
- **Computer labs**
Non-compliant systems:
- **Payroll**
- **Some departmental computers**
with such an unprecedented thing, no one's going to go out on a limb and say they're 100 percent certain," Weishaar said.
The University has already upgraded most of its critical computer systems, Beth Warner, assistant to the vice chancellor for information services and year 2000 coordinator, said. The remaining critical systems should be upgraded by the end of the year, she said.
"We will be there by the end of the year, except for a few minor things that won't make much difference," Warner said.
Marili Goodyear, vice chancellor for information services, said that of the University's administrative computer systems, only the payroll system still needed to be upgraded and tested. That should happen in October, she said.
She said the last upgrade was the libraries' computer system, which took place about two weeks ago. Other systems that have been upgraded are the enrollment system and all the general-use student
computer labs. Goodyear said.
KUIDs and on-campus network and modem connections for personal computers are compliant, she said.
tions for personal computers are compliant, she said. However, facilities operations hasn't finished upgrading systems yet, which include managing energy and emergency power, but Wishaisa said upgrades to all critical systems would be completed before the new year. Most upgrades, such as those to campus buildings' fire alarms, were already finished, he said.
"As near as we can tell, we're pretty much already compliant." Weishaar said.
There are. however. some areas of concern.
One area is the computer systems that belong to departments within the University. Goodyear said that departments were responsible for taking care of their own equipment and that because there was no centralized process for reporting progress, no one knew how much progress individual departments had made.
Information services has provided a Web site (www.ukans.edu/~its/reports/y2k/home.html) that gives departments advice on coordinating their efforts. Goodyear said that judging from the number of hits on the site and e-mail questions, departments are actively trying to fix bugs.
Now, the biggest challenge may be making sure that entities outside the campus, upon which the University depends, are compliant.
Goodyear said the federal government had almost completed upgrades of the systems it used to distribute federal grants, scholarships and loans. But not all outside organizations could guarantee compliance, she said.
"The biggest potential threat now is that the electrical grid could go down, and the gas and water," Goodyear said.
But she said she had received reassurances from the University's electrical, gas and water providers, and that even if there were a problem, the University was modifying its disaster contingency plan for problems associated with the computer bug.
That, Goodyear said, meant that even if there were problems, they should be corrected by the time students return for class in January.

Campus auto burglaries drop

Like most students, when Tom Abell, Boulder, Colo., freshman, first came to the University of Kansas three weeks ago, he never thought that he would be a victim of auto burglary.
"I was shocked when I got down to my car and realized it had been broken into," Abell said. "I guess I had a false sense of security, but I'll be more careful in the future so hopefully this will never happen again."
and loss, Sgt. Troy Mailen said.
Abell's CD car stereo, amplifier and CDs were stolen from his car, which were valued at more than $700.
The start of a new school year is an especially busy time for the public safety department in dealing with cases involving property damage
Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said there were 233 reported cases of burglary from motor vehicles on campus in 1998. Bailey said that figures showed a decrease in auto burglaries from previous years.
"Over the past week our department has seen a higher than usual number of thefts from vehicles in KU parking lots," Mailen said. "With the start of a new school year students are preoccupied with other activities and do not pay as close of attention to their surroundings as they should."
Bailey said that some new students got caught up with being on campus for the first time, which made them less likely to worry about someone breaking into their vehicles.
Abell said he was aware of the possibility of auto burglary because his brother's car had been broken into when he went away to college, and he took some steps to prevent a break-in.
"I never really thought, though, that it would happen to me, but I guess it was wrong," he said.
Mailen said KU public safety officers were on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week and work in three 10-hour shifts, so that officers' shifts overlapped.
"At any given time our department can have as many as six officers out patrolling the campus for illegal

activity." Malen said. "Our peak time for officers is between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. when a majority of the illegal activity takes place, like thefts from motor vehicles."
"It's as simple as always remembering to take everything that's of value out of your vehicle," he said. "Or lock your door so you won't give possible thieves any motive to want to break into your vehicle."
Mailen said that students needed to take the time to make their vehicles less likely targets.
If students think someone looks suspicious they should call the KU Public Safety Office and report it, Mailen said. KU Crimestoppers offers a monetary reward for information leading to a suspect or an arrest.

SUA revives holiday trip to Missouri
Student Union Activities is offering students a way to spend one of the last weekends of summer on the water.
By Emily Hughey writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
SUA is sponsoring a Labor Day weekend canoe trip in the Ozarks.
John Edwards, SUA program advisor, said about 30 people would be sent down the Jack's Fork and Current rivers Sept. 3 through 5 in Eminence, Mo.
"We're excited," he said. "A lot of people are involved this year, and it's something we've done in the past. I think we've always done a really good job."
The group, which will consist of both students and non-students, will depart Friday afternoon and arrive in Eminence Friday evening. Participants will canoe all day Saturday and

Although the cost covers canoe rental, campground reservations and meals — including a catered meal Saturday night — participants must have their own camping equipment.
Edwards said participants could rent equipment for an extra cost at Wilderness Discovery at the Jaybowl.
However, some students are borrowing equipment from friends.
Dan Waters, Wichita freshman, said his friend was loaming him camping gear. He also said his primary reason for going was to meet new people.
"I love going out, and I especially love rivers," Waters said. "And it's a nice way to meet people."
He said the cost had no effect on his decision to go on the trim.
In addition to low costs and the opportunity to make friends, Cameron Popp, SUA president, said there were other reasons to go on the trip.
"It's beautiful down there," he said. "People come back every year just gushing with how wonderful it is."
Popp said there was no trip last year because SUA did not begin planning early enough. He said he thought this year's trip would be a success.
Interested students can attend an information meeting at 7:30 tonight at the Pine Room in the Kansas Union.

Alcohol advertising campaign takes an encouraging approach
A new advertising campaign at the University of Kansas targets students who party.
But it doesn't tell them what beer to drink or where to pick up babes and chicks. Instead, the message is moderation: "Most KU students drink moderately when they party," or "Most (58 percent) KU students have zero to five drinks when they party."
The ads initiate the Social Norms Media Campaign, whose long-term goal is to decrease heavy drinking at the University by 25 percent. The campaign is an ingenious way to reach college students and reach them with a relevant, yet effective, message.
Scare tactics don't work, and neither does denying that college students will and do drink. Instead, the goal of the
Using Northern Illinois model, new plan will raise awareness about alcohol norms
media campaign is to encourage students to drink responsibly.
"We want to focus on the positive behavior instead of saying, 'Look what will happen if you drink,' said Jannette Berkley-Patton, project facilitator.
Last spring, more than 1,600 KU students were surveyed regarding their drinking habits. The survey results are used to guide the media messages that the campaign produces. Berkley-Patton said sharing the results that a majority of KU students drink moderately should help to bring students who
drink excessively closer to the norm.
The KU campaign was designed after a similar media campaign at Northern Illinois University, where in nine years heavy drinking decreased 44 percent. Media were used as a way to influence mass behavior, Berkley-Patton said.
The Social Norms Media Campaign is sponsored by a grant from the Kansas Health Foundation and is separate from the Alcohol Task Force. No programs are associated with the media campaign, although it may enhance outside alcohol awareness programs. Ads will appear in the Kansan, on posters in residence halls and on buses.
Advertising sells and this ad campaign offers a valuable and possibly life-saving message that students should not miss.

Service learning program essential
Every minute we spend as suents at the University of Kansas we lose valuable life skills opportunities because of the lack of curriculum based around service learning.
Service learning allows students to apply classroom concepts to benefit their community. For example, a mathematics class could perform a statistical analysis of poverty and wealth in Lawrence. This "real world" concept was important enough for the Chancellor Hemenway to deem it an initiative for 2001.
Another initiative of Hemenway's included the recruitment of 100 National Merit Scholars. While he has achieved that goal, it is a shame that we are far from seeing any headlines about service-learning at the University.
Despite recent accomplishments, the University still is behind
Recently, the chancellor took the first step in initiating service learning by joining Campus Compact, a national organization of nearly 600 universities that promotes the idea of developing students' citizenship through public and community service.
While membership in Campus Compact is important, it will do little to actually install service learning at the University. The chancellor and the Serve Kansas Task Force must set a more proactive plan than just outlining service learning. Only then will faculty fully take advantage of its educational benefits.
nation have co-curricular service-learning classes — some of those universities are not as prestigious as the University of Kansas. We will slip behind the strides made by other institutions of higher learning if we do not take action.
The universities of Michigan, Colorado, Colorado State, Arkansas, Illinois and others have shown improved educational results from the implementation of service learning. Service learning also can be a crucial selling point for a university to prospective students.
Nearly 440 universities around the
For every day that the University lags behind in their service learning efforts, there may be prospective students choosing other schools. Increasingly, students are looking for a school that moves ahead with practical endeavors, not to schools playing catch-up.

Perspective
Brown Bear has solution to ordinance: Go nuts
last year, the Brown Bear Brewery was associated with live music, busy bartenders and beer that tasted like peach Jolly Ranchers. Now, Brown Bear has been reduced to peanuts.
A city zoning restriction established in 1994 demands that all downtown drinking
establishments must make 55 percent of their money from food. So in a very thumb-to-the-nose response, Brown Bear is planning to sell a bag of peanuts with every beer for $1 and claim that 55 cents is for the peanuts (55 percent of the sale) and 45 cents is for the beer.
Jenny

jonnier@kansan.com
First off, 45 cent beer!
Secondly, is there no free market in Lawrence?
The entire idea of capi-
talismar revolves around private or corporate businesses distributing goods in a manner determined by supply and demand. Well, I know there is a demand for beer and Brown Bear seems to have a supply, so why is the free market being tainted with food sales quotas? Capitalism, like other philosophical tenets on which the United States is based, seems to be just a mushy, patriotic ideal instead of something we adamantly practice.
While I try to see the City Commission's side of it, I can't. If Brown Bear is selling to minors, it should be closed down or fined because that is illegal and tears down the high standards that this community strives to ... blah, blah, blah.
But, Brown Bear is only guilty of not sensing enough food. As for the idea that food along with alcohol somehow reduces the number of drunks — I roll my eyes. Eating while drinking alcohol only reduces the number of people that will throw up later. We all know that!
I think the city instituted this law to
squelch the success of another bar. Our free market makes opening a new business hard enough because of the struggle to sway customers away from long-standing competitors. When the majority of Brown Bear's sales has to be food sales, an extra barrier is set up in competing with Louise's Downtown and the Replay Lounge, two bars, opened before 1994, that don't sell food. This is an obvious deterrent, put forth by the city, to keep entrepreneurs from opening another downtown bar.
Well, read your history books, commissioners. Our forefathers would have wanted Brown Bear to have the right to compete freely with the other bars, and either fail or succeed with little intervention from the government.
But the city has intervened, and the quite young co-owners of Brown Bear have reacted like smart alecks which I don't think the forefathers would have applauded, even though I do. The owners have even formed a new corporation that they will use to lamely disguise the opening of the same bar (only probably called Black Bear Brewery or Brown Beer Brewery). The problem, of course, is they will have to reapply for city and state licenses.
City Clerk Ray Hummert has said he would have some question about signing a new zoning verification knowing Brown Bear did not meet the zoning in the past. Don't mess with Ray, or you will never sell beer in this town again. How vengeful!
I know drinking is not a pastime of extraordinary people. No world leader or award winner has ever thanked Busch or Coors for taking them all the way, but we should all remember the basis of our system. This land is the land of opportunity, and you should have the opportunity to open a business, having the same rights as your competitors, without being forced to alienate people allergic to peanuts.

words, you don't have a right to disagree with nature. That is, unless you're the Kansas State Board of Education, but that's another column altogether.
If the Supreme Court shared the perspective of the board, we might have seen desegregation by the '80s. There would probably still be a few parts of the country with segregation strictly enforced. This is the type of society the board has supported in its decision. If you haven't heard the claim before that gay rights are human rights, I am saying it now. This applies to all queer folk.
The point that the Boy Scouts should not be made to feel societal pressure to change is ludicrous. Public opinion polls showed that at the time the Supreme Court ordered desegregation to occur, a majority of Americans opposed it. It took a few years for it to sink in before a majority of Americans were in support of it.
There are queer Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and den mothers, and there always have been. The young man involved in the New Jersey decision had been raised in the fold; he had adopted the Boy Scouts' value system and was cast aside because of nothing more than blatant prejudice.
I am shocked that the editorial board chose to disagree with the court. From sexism to racism, the American courts deny private groups the ability to discriminate. This case is no different.
I am a member of the editorial board, but I'm ashamed for my fellow board members for the decision they made.
Skinta is president of Queers and Allies and a member of the Kansan editorial board. He is an Andover junior in psychology.
Feedback Merit scholars don't have it rough
I am writing in response to the article appearing in today's UDK (08/25/99) regarding the University giving perks to National Merit Scholars.
I agree in principle with your article. I think it is right to help those who need help most, but I thought the view in the article was a little narrow in its reach
I understand that many people feel frustrated that they cannot get first preference in classes, but I think we should be aware of the view not only of those who seem to get the breaks, but those on the other side of the fence, who cannot even come to KU.
Try telling the 19-year old, 8-month pregnant girl I worked with this summer, who has to live off slightly less than $9/hour, that kids need
4
If the purpose of education in this country was to level things out between the proverbial haves and have-nots, then I think it would follow that we spend very little money on National Merit college-kids, very little money on non-National Merit college-kids, and the most on lower grades.
extra help at KU are getting the shaft, and you'll get nothing more than an unsympathetic roll of the eyes.
Instead we set up programs to give enormous amounts of money to kids who have succeeded, as you point out, and when it comes to bad schools, in bad parts of towns, we have Republicans shove down the idea of vouchers down our throats. Of course all this means is the government will allow families to choose what school they want, instead of improving the awful schools.
You said around 60% of National Merit families earned over $50,000. I think it would be interesting to see what that percentage is across the university, especially when you consider how many kids from Johnson County invade the school every year. College has to be about separating people with clearly defined goals and expectations and those with less-defined, if defined at all goals and expectations.
We should be spending money on schools such as those in the Kansas City, Kans, school district, where all too often the unemployment rate hovers around 10% and daughters become mothers at 20, and mothers become grandmothers at 40, and you just hope you can keep your cashier job at US Toy till 50.

Union eatery reopens, searches for employees

The Prairie Room opened for another school year yesterday with a new challenge of accommodating the functions of the Learned Club at the Alumni Center, which closed in July.
Some special events, originally scheduled to take place at the Learned Club, instead will be held in the Prairie Room, which will incorporate some of the Alumni Center menu.
David Mucci, director of the Unions, said many of the former clients of the Alumni Center probably would come to the Prairie Room.
"We will have a steady menu throughout the year," Prairie Room chef, Jason Arnett, said. "But a lot of new dishes will pop up as specials."
The restaurant at the Learned Club was closed as a result of an Internal Revenue Service audit, which ruled that the association could not operate the restaurant and retain its tax-exempt status.
The Prairie Room, which has been part of the Kansas Union for about 20 years, used to hold Sunday brunches, dinners and was open for football games, Arnett said. Now because of
budget problems, Arnett is the only cook for the Prairie Room.
The Prairie Room was closed this summer and did not open at the start of the year because of the staff shortage.
"I just hope to get more assistants," Arnett said. "But I'd rather do fewer things well than take on a lot and not be able to finish them."
He said he hoped to enlarge functions and bring some services from the student cafeteria, which is located across the hall, to the restaurant.
During the summer, Arnett ran weekly demonstration cooking in the cafeteria, which included more exotic dishes than the regular menu and received tremendous response, Arnett said.
Teacher credentials could change
The Associated Press
EMPORIA — Much has been made of the Kansas State Board of Education's controversial vote on the teaching of evolution. But an Emporia State University professor is more concerned about another issue coming before the board. DeWayne Backhus, chairman of the division of physical sciences at ESU, worries about the long-range implications of a proposal to reduce the number of categories in which teachers are licensed by the state. His main concern is that the more generalized teacher credentialing does not include licensing in physics.
At its next meeting, Sept.14, the board could consider the plan that would bring 200 areas of teacher licensure down to 30.
The proposed areas for science teacher licensure would include earth and space science, life science, biology, chemistry and physical science, said Ken Bungert, the board's director of certification in teacher education.
Bungert disagrees with the notion that the change will hurt physics education in Kansas.
Jerry Long, associate dean of the teacher's college and a licensure committee member, said high school administrators were asking
for teachers certified in general sciences who could teach other sciences besides physics.
It will now be up to colleges and universities to decide how they will meet the standards for physics teacher preparation.
He said organizations like Kansas Technology Enterprise Corp., which promotes improving the state's science and technology-based infrastructure, won't like the credentialing change.

Hurricane Dennis grazes North Carolina coastline
NAGS HEAD, N.C. — People along the North Carolina coast breathed a sigh of relief Monday as Hurricane Dennis turned out to sea after sidewiping the shoreline with 112 mph gusts and up to 8 inches of rain that flooded streets and left 50,000 without power.
The Associated Press
The storm's center started peeling away from the coast after getting no closer than 60 miles.
"We are hoping it continues that offshore track," said Jim Jones, spokesman
Dennis was blamed for two traffic deaths early Monday. Property damage appeared to be light, with shingles blown off some homes.
for the state Division of Emergency Management. "If it stalls far enough away, that's fine, as long as it doesn't come back."
During the weekend Dennis moved on a plodding course parallel to the coasts of the Carolinas. Tens of thousands of residents and tourists were evacuated from the barrier islands separated from the mainland by roads that get swamped in storms. The worst of the storm hit early Monday, churning up 30-foot seas.
"It's pretty bad," inkeeper Bob Toubey said on Orcacoke Island, on North Carolina's Outer Banks. "We have no power. Our water's off. The island is pretty much a ghost town."
He said a friend's wind gauge "got stuck at 74 mph before it blew off the house."
At 3 p.m. Dennis was 75 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras, moving east-northeast at almost 20 mph with sustained winds of nearly 90 mph, down from 105 in the morning. A hurricane warning remained in effect for most of the North Carolina coast to the Virginia state line.
Shortly before noon, as Dennis approached the Outer Banks — which stick out from the Atlantic Seaboard like the sideview mirror on a car — it began edging away from the coast.
"That's a good sign. I'd rather have it going that
way than the other." Bill Frederick of the National Hurricane Center in Miami said.
He predicted Dennis will accelerate as it heats seaward for the next day, then stall a couple of hundred miles from shore.
Two people were killed in a head-on collision in the coastal community of Richlands as 60 mph gusts and 2 inches of rain blasted the area.
Southport, south of Wilmington, received 8 inches of rain. Sustained winds of 92 mph and gusts of 112 mph were reported at Frying Pan Shoals, south of Wilmington.
The storm knocked out power to more than 50,000 people.

Survey finds teens more likely to talk with moms about drugs
WASHINGTON— Most teenagers find it easier to talk about drugs with their mothers than with their fathers, and those who don't get along with their fathers are at far greater risk of smoking, drinking and using drugs, a survey found.
The Associated Press
Teens in two-parent families who have fair or poor relationships with their fathers are 68 percent more likely to use drugs than those in average families, said a report issued yesterday by the private National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University.
By comparison, children raised by their mothers alone were only

30 percent more likely to use drugs than those living in the average two-parent home.
In the telephone survey of 2,000 youths ages 12 to 17 and 1,000 parents, researchers assessed teens' risk of drug use by asking, among other things, if they had friends who use drugs, and if they thought they would use drugs themselves in the future.
Parents should take the survey results as a back-to-school reminder to support their children and ask them questions, said Dr. H. Westley Clark, director of the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment at the Department of Health and Human Services.
Mothers influence their children's important decisions three

times as often as fathers and are more likely to have private talks about drugs, the study found. Fifty-eight percent of teens said they had very good or excellent relationships with their fathers, compared with 70 percent with their mothers.

Gore camp gearing up for fall
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—Al Gore and his retooled presidential campaign team are putting the finishing touches on a fall strategy designed to sharpen his muddled message and reassure jittery Democrats with displays of raw political force.
Advisers say the next two months are critical for the vice president, who stumbled out of the gates, struggled with overcoaching from his staff and now faces a stronger-than-expected challenge for the Democratic nomination.
"What we're trying to do now is show that AI has broad-based support and that he's ready for a general (election) campaign," campaign chairman Tony Coelho said.
To put it more simply, Gore and his advisers are trying to show that they've finally got their act together.

message across.
They also laid out plans for a flurry of endorsements in September and October to highlight Gore's advantage in the battle for the party's core voters: blacks, Hispanics, labor and elected officials.

discipline to the effort, made several staff changes and drew clear lines of authority all of which pass through his office. The former California lawmaker likes to tell the story about one of the first trips he took with Gore. Minutes before a
speech, Coelho noticed an aide scribbling a long list of VIPs that Gore would acknowledge in his remarks.
Recognizing a recipe for another dull speech, Coelho ripped the paper out of the started aide's hands and tore it into shreds. He pulled the vice president aside and told him to forget about the notes.
"Just tell the people thank you," Coelho told Gore. "Then tell them a few stories. And tell them what you believe."
He has ordered staff to put Gore in cozier settings with fewer people. No note cards. Fewer lecterns.
"At times he needs a podium, obviously. At times he needs to be — Whoop! — vice president." Coelho said, holding himself ramrod straight to imitate his boss. "But most of the time he doesn't need to be. And I think to a great extent the system hurt him and his ability to project what he really feels."
A summer's worth of polling has
helped the campaign narrow its focus from a laundry list of proposals to a select few that impact voters' lives.
About 70 Democrats in Congress already have announced their support for Gore, but campaign aides are rounding up more for a big wave of fall endorsements.
A senior Democrat on Capitol Hill said Gore could expect up to 120 House members to endorse him in time for a fall announcement, though there are still pockets of lawmakers anxious about Gore's campaign.
Separate endorsement events are scheduled for black and Hispanic leaders. Campaign aides speaking on condition of anonymity said they were confident Jesse Jackson would endorse Gore this fall. They also expected to secure the support of entertainer Bill Cosby. An AFL-CIO endorsement in October would cement Gore's sometimes shaky standing with labor. Aides say they will get it.
East Timorese vote on independence
The Associated Press
DILI, Indonesia—After four centuries of neglectful Portuguese colonial rule and 24 years of military repression under Indonesia, East Timorese voters overcame fears of violence and intimidation to cast ballots yesterday on possible independence.
The historic U.N.-supervised referendum began soon after dawn at 200 polling centers across the territory, which takes up half an island in Southeast Asia.
Half of the more than 451,000 people who registered to vote went to the polling centers in the first 30 minutes, said U.N. spokesman David Wimhurst. Many had sat outside polling places for hours beforehand.
"The turnout has been strong and early," he said. "There have been no reports of trouble. People want to exercise their democratic rights."
But that doesn't mean the vote was without trouble.
Ian Martin, head of the U.N.
Assistance Mission in East Timor,
sald many people were too afraid to
leave their homes in the western district of Maliana, which was rocked by deadly attacks by anti-independence militias last week.
As a result, Martin said, strict precautions were being taken to ensure voting was conducted in secrecy, lessening the chances of intimidation.
Among those who registered to vote were 13,000 East Timorese living abroad.
They are being asked if they want their impoverished homeland to remain part of Indonesia as an autonomous region or to break away completely.
Tensions continued between pro- and anti-independence gangs in the territory, located 1,250 miles from Jakarta. Violence between the two sides has marred the referendum campaign for weeks.
A last-minute U.N. brokered peace deal was broken just hours after it was struck on Sunday. A separatist mob stabbed to death two members of an anti-independence militia gang, militia leaders said. Their bodies have not been found.
Early Monday, two houses were
burned and militiamen fired shots in west Dili, witnesses said. There were no reports of injuries.
Dozens of people have been killed in violence this year and some 60,000 have fled their homes in fear, amid attacks on civilians and U.N. staff by anti-independence gangs. Many independent activists were too scared to actively promote their cause after their offices were trashed.
Jailed separatist leader Jose Alexandre "Xanana" Gusmao called for a big turnout, amid fears that many pro-independence voters might stay away from the polls because of the violence.
"Let us not be afraid. East Timor depends on the courage and conviction we demonstrate today," Gusmao said.
Long and orderly lines formed outside of polling centers in Dili, the territory's capital. Indonesian police officers, who are tasked with keeping the peace, carried automatic weapons and stood guard at most centers.
Unarmed U.N. police advisers and independent observers also kept watch.
Independence activists say most
East Timorese want independence. They accuse sections of Indonesia's army of supporting the anti-independence militias in a campaign to scare people away from the polls.
Belo and U.N. Assistance Mission in East Timor chief Iian Martin were hopeful most registered voters would come to the polls.
In their deal struck Sunday night, pro- and anti-independence militia leaders had agreed that their supporters would not carry weapons in public and would eventually disarm. They promised to abide by the result, which is expected to be announced by U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan before or on Sept. 7.
President B.J. Habibie went on nationwide television Sunday to urge voters to reject independence.
"To our brothers and sisters in East Timor, I ask (you) to remain united in building a brighter future with the brothers and sisters from other regions," Habibie said. Habibie has pledged to respect whatever the outcome.
Habibie said he would allow East Timor independence if it rejects an Indonesian plan for autonomy.

Manning returns to Lawrence
By Melinda Weaver

Kansas sportswriter
Danny Manning has had plenty of previous basketball success in Lawrence, but when he returned to his home court at Lawrence High School yesterday, he could not win a game of horse.
Manning, who led Lawrence High to the state championship in 1984 and Kansas to a NCAA title in 1988, was in Lawrence to kick off a Sallie Mae scholarship drive during an assembly at Lawrence High School.
The new scholarship will be distributed to more than 650 high schools in the Washington, Philadelphia and Kansas City areas that excel in academics and athletics.
"We set up the program in areas where

presence and chose athletes to represent those areas," said Al Lord, chief executive officer of Sallie Mae. "It was easy to select (Manning) for this area. There are very few individuals who have been able to do what Danny has done."
Danny Manning:
Returns home to speak.
Unlike many athleters who enter professional sports
without a college degree, Manning attended college and completed his degree in four years.
Manning, who spends his summers in Lawrence, was approached by his agent to represent the Kansas City area schools, and he gladly accepted.
"I think it's a great idea to help students whenever they need money to move on to college," Manning said. "This is a great idea and a great program. It helps lighten the financial load that students face in college."
"You should do what you want to do and follow your own heart, but college gives you the option to do that," Manning told a gym full of Lawrence
High students. "This is the challenge I am going to give you — be the best you can be. College can help you accomplish your goals."
The program donates $25,000 to the winning school and $5,000 to three runners-up in each district. The scholarships can be distributed any way the school sees fit.
"There is a vacuum of awards for schools who do well at academics and athletics," Lord said. "There are awards for students but not schools. We find that students who are successful at both academics and athletics become good
citizens and should be rewarded."
Manning was a student who was successful in both areas. He learned the importance of academics from his family, who threatened to keep him from playing basketball when his grades were too low.
"They always stuck to that rule," Manning said. "I tested them a couple of times, but they always persevered."
Manning played an academic and athletic role in the assembly when he played a game of horse with Lawrence High students and a teacher.
Teacher Art Sloan and student Joe Mellinger were eliminated, leaving a competition between student Danni May and Manning.
On his return to his home court, Manning was defeated by May, who participates in both basketball and volleyball.
"It's always nice to come back, but it's not nice to get beat," Manning said.

career that Chandler, a former walk-on, has caught four passes in one game, giving him 46 career receptions.
Senior wide receiver Michael Chandler caught four passes Saturday, including a 14-yard touchdown, which tied running back David Winbush for the team high. It marked the third time in his
"He's the old man, experienced and all that," said wide receiver Termaine Fulton.
Chandler's string of fourteen games with at least one reception was snapped in last season's final game against Iowa State — the highest mark of any receiver on the team.
He also was voted one of the Jayhawks' offensive captains this season, along with quarterback Zac Wegner.
Not bad for a guy who was shot just six months ago.
When three masked men broke into Chandler's apartment the morning of Feb. 27, one of them fired a
gun at Chandler.
"I look over my shoulder occasionally, and now I look through my peephole," he said.
But Chandler, who was recovering from ankle surgery at the time, did his best to ignore rumors about why he was shot and recovered in time to begin practice in August.
"I could sit here just like everybody else and speculate why it happened, but I don't know." he said.
What Chandler does know is how to catch footballs. And Saturday he caught some when it really counted.
Two of his catches went for first downs, including one with 20 seconds left that set up the Jayhawks' second touchdown.

Soccer junior transfer injured in Kansas debut
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Less than a minute into her Kansas debut, highly touted junior transfer Hilla Rantala fed a picturesque lead ball to a teammate, fired a shot just off the mark and then went down with an injured ankle. The injury knocked Rantala out of the remainder of Friday's 2-1 loss to Colorado and all of Sunday's 4-1 win against Wyoming. Many wondered if the result of the Colorado game would have been different if Rantala's injury hadn't occurred.
The injury was diagnosed as a sprain to her right ankle. Fortunately for the Jayhawks she is expected to return for this weekend's road trip to Utah where Kansas takes on Utah and Weber State.
"It didn't help us," coach Mark Francis said. "It definitely did not help us."
One for the record books
Kansas lakes like the first debut for this year's five freshmen — Bridget Goyen, Brianna Valento, Nikki Wahle, Mervi Kukittinen and Lindsay Hunting — went more smoothly than Rantala's. Francis was pleased with the performance of his freshman and believes they made an impact.
they made it," he said. "I think by bringing in new guys, they're hungry." Francis said. "When you put them in they want to prove a point. It's their opportunity to prove themselves and I think they really made the difference."
Junior midfielder Colleen Colvin scored her sixth career goal, placing her in a tie for fifth on the school's all-time goals list and jumping her to fourth in career points with 16.
Plenty of changes were made to the Kansas women's soccer record book in Sunday's victory over Wyoming.
Sophomore defender Natalie Hoogveld recorded a rare backsave — clearing a Wyoming shot on the goal line after it got past goalkeeper Betsy Pollard — in the first half of action.
Junior forward Meghann Haven's two assists gave her sole possession of second place on Kansas' career assists chart. Haven also became the third player in team history to record two assists in a single game.
As a team Kansas recorded five assists in the game (Haven (2), Cynthia Dahle, Kyle Watts, Melanie Schroeder). That tied the Kansas single-game assists record. Dahle's assist raised her school record career points total to 22.
Also making her mark on the record book Sunday was junior midfielder Johanna Larson who notched two goals, twing a Kansas single game record.
"It's a more positive attitude." Larsson said. "We really push each other. We've gotta keep playing 100 percent for 90 minutes and we did that."
Larsson attributes the team's success to their attitude.

Chiefs offense will be mired in mediocrity again this year
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
A new coach will not mean a new direction for the Kansas City Chiefs.
One might think that it's time to shake things up after missing the playoffs with virtually the same team that was a league-best 13-3 the year before. Maybe it's time to tinker with the offensive scheme or find a new running back?
After last year's utterly disappointing 7-9 season, coach Marty Schottenheimer called it quits, and defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham took charge.
Not so, says Cunningham. Instead, he has stressed getting back to the basics that made the Chiefs one of the most "successful" teams of the '90s.
"I've been in this division longer than anybody on our staff and I know what works," Cunningham said.
Hmm... I guess that depends on your definition of works, but go on Gunther.

"You have to be able to run the foot."

In defense of Cunningham, it should be noted that defense and ball control made the Chiefs one of
you have to be a ball, play tough physical defense and win on special teams. That's what the Chiefs were known for."
Unfortunately, the Chiefs were not known for winning in the playoffs.
Prater columnist sports @ kansaen.com
From '90 to '97 the Chiefs achieved an impressive regular season record of 86-42, but in the playoffs they managed just three wins and seven losses.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but elite teams generally measure success in the post-season. That's why Duke and Kentucky will be remembered as the best college basketball teams of the '90s, even though the Jayhawks have won the most games.
the best regular season teams in the league from '90 to '97.
But honestly, does anyone really think that if the Chiefs had played with more discipline and made it to the playoffs, they would have advanced?
The Chiefs biggest problem in the '90s has been, and will continue to be, offensive firepower.
When the Chiefs brought in the West Coast offense in '93, Schottenheimer modified it to fit with his ball-control mentality. That's like hiring Picasso to paint your picture and asking him to make it look natural.
The '97 Chiefs were the most mediocre 13-3 team in the history of the NFL.
The West Coast offense is predicated on keeping defenses on their heels by spreading the ball around with sharp passing and unpredictability.
The Chiefs' offense has been anything but unpredictable. Any fan who has watched the Chiefs this decade knows that first down is a run and third-and-four means a swing pass to the halfback.
Even with one of the strongest offensive lines in the league, the Chiefs' lack of creativity, a proven running back or a take-over guy at quarterback. That will keep them mired in mediocry.
Last year's team suffered because the discipline that had made the Chiefs so consistent in the '90s spiraled down the drain in a vortex of turnovers, mistakes and stupid penalties.
Here's four reasons that the Chiefs will have their legion of dedicated fans thinking that they've got it turned around: the Bears, the Lions, the Chargers and the Ravens. Those early season opponents should have the Chiefs off to a strong start.
But when it comes to money time, the Chiefs will once again be bogged down in the mud of predictability.

Tapes reveal drug test leniency in the NFL
NEW YORK — Videotapes of a 1995 NFL Players Association meeting revealed a secret agreement between the union and the league to overlook some positive drug tests, The New York Times reported today.
A league official, who requested anonymity, told the newspaper that the NFL made the concession while negotiating for a tougher drug policy. The official estimated the number of failed drug tests at 16, though The Times said one owner said it was more than two dozen.

The videotapes, made at the annual meeting at Maui, were

The videotapes reportedly show Doug Allen, the union's assistant executive director, discussing differences in the new drug policy and the old one. Allen told the players that a number had failed drug tests and faced suspensions, but because of a private agreement with the NFL, the players would not be suspended.
College sports study shows frequent hazing
No players were named in The Times report, but the league source said one of them still is active.
WASHINGTON — Eighty percent of college student athletes are subjected to some form of hazing, according to a study released today by Alfred University.
In the first attempt to gauge the problem on a national basis, the university in upstate New York surveyed 14,000 students, coaches and other athletic officials from NCAA colleges and universities.
The study, conducted with cooperation of the NCAA, found widespread hazing at all levels, from Division I to Division III. Men were more likely to be subjected to hazing than women, and the sports with the most hazing were swimming and diving, lacrosse, soccer, football and ice hockey.
Examples of hazing ranged from criminal or dangerous acts, such as kidnappings and beatings, to questionable acts such as yelling and cursing at freshmen or forcing them to wear embarrassing clothing. Sixty percent of the athletes who responded said they took part in criminal, dangerous and/or alcohol-related hazing.
"I find the results of our study on hazing to be horrifying." Alfred president Edward Coll said. "It is pervasive. It's dangerous, and it is behavior that is forced upon student athletes as the price of admission to a team."

News staff works daily to get stories, news to KU students
This guide is for you.
An assembly of University faculty criticizes the chancellor's decision not to prohibit ROTC commissioning on campus. Students learn about it in the Kansan the next morning and read follow-up stories the next few weeks.
Our biggest task is choosing the best, most important stories for publication in the Kansan. Many factors go into the decision:
The Legislature votes not to finance the University of Kansas' libraries for the coming year. Thousands of students turn to the Kansan to find out how the cuts will affect them.
The decision to run such major stories and put them on the front page is easy. Not all decisions are so easy.
A blend of hard, breaking news, lighter feature stories and in-depth analytical stories is sought.
A mix of local, state, national and international news is needed.
Consideration is given to what is most appealing and most important to our primary audience, the University community.
Here's basically how it happens;
Putting together tomorrow morning's Kansan is a complex task that begins almost 24 hours before it arrives in the boxes on campus.
The editors, reporters and photographers begin gathering, sorting, reporting and photographing local news as early as 8 a.m. the day before.
Some of the work produces single articles ready for print the next day. Other events will be newsworthy for a longer period of time, forcing reporters to follow developments and write several articles. Some topics involve extensive time and research before reporters and editors can mold them into in-depth articles or series of articles that give readers a look at a particularly important or interesting subject.
In the morning, the editor and managing editors arrive in the newsroom to guide reporters in covering the news. Throughout the day, they take phone calls, read news releases, talk with beat reporters and watch other media sources to ensure that the Kansan reports the day's top stories.
At 12:30 p.m., the editor, managing editors, campus editors, design editor and sports editor review that day's paper to
and discuss stories for the next day. After the meeting the two campus editors help reporters sharpen and focus their stories. Both editors read each local story with a critical eye for completeness, accuracy and fairness.
At 3:30 p.m., a wire editor arrives to begin going through the hundreds of stories from The Associated Press sent electronically each day. The wire editor sorts stories by importance and subject, looking for potential front-page news, stories that should be localized, or stories that the reporting staff may have missed.
At 4:30 p.m. the same group from the 12:30 p.m. meeting meets to discuss what will go in the next day's paper. Participants summarize and promote their top stories, photographs and art work, give editors an idea of what should be considered for tomorrow's front page, news pages, and sports pages.
By 5 p.m., a copy desk consisting of five to eight people is in place to edit copy, write headlines and do other tasks of putting the newspaper together.
Copy editors are the Kansan's last line of defense against spelling, grammar and factual errors. All stories, local and wire, are edited by copy editors, who stay until the last page is finished.
By 9 p.m., the editor and managing editors go home, leaving the paper in the hands of the news editor, although the editor is consulted in most decisions. He checks headlines, layouts, cutlines and keeps an eye on the wires for late-breaking stories. If a late story comes across, the news editor is responsible for getting it in the paper.
About 1 a.m., the pages are sent, mostly by e-mail, to the Lawrence Journal-World. By 4 a.m., the presses have usually been set and are running. All that remains is to distribute finished papers to the boxes on campus.
The Kansan operates, looks like, and has the same goals as other daily newspapers, but students produce it. The top editors are paid, but reporters and copy editors receive class credit. They go home every night knowing that their classwork will be distributed to more than 11,000 people the next morning. Then the process will begin again.
Kansan advertising allows news to remain in business
The University Daily Kansan is a $1.1 million enterprise.
Kansan advertisers reach thousands of readers with their messages and, in the process, provide a vehicle to publish the news. About 90 percent of the Kansan's operating revenue comes from advertising.
The Kansan is an investment for its advertisers, and staff members see themselves as business consultants. They strive for optimum customer service. Staff members also seek to provide relevant advertising information for students.
Members of the advertising staff spend days juggling client calls, appointments, classes and office hours at the Kansan Business Office. 119 Stauffer Flint Hall.
Business hours start at 8 a.m. and end at 5 p.m. After taking time for dinner and
study, members of the creative staff head back to the office for at least two hours to prepare their ads for publication. By 4 a.m., the presses start rolling on about 11,500 copies of The University Daily Kansan.
Working on the Kansan advertising staff is a full-time job that allows students to gain practical experience in advertising. Students typically work 30-40 hours each week.
The 60-member staff includes 40 account executives and 12 student managers. Each account executive is responsible for a list of clients and handles all aspects of customer relations, including selling, planning, creating and implementing advertising campaigns.
Student managers assist account executives in their sales efforts and are experienced staff members.
National awards the staff has received in the past three years from the College Newspapers Business Advertising Managers Inc. include best overall newspaper (1997), best training program (1998) and best in-paper campaign for the "Sit Down Norm" poster published during basketball season (1999).
The advertising department offers clients many free low-cost services, including photography, original art, access to market research information, free creative assistance and desktop publishing. Additionally, registered student organizations receive discounted rates. Online advertising also is offered in the forms of banners, contests, coupons, sponsorships, special-section placement and job-search capability.

We encourage readers to write
Editorials are written based on agreement of members of the editorial board. They reflect the opinion of the Kansan about issues.
guest columns or letters to the editor. The public clash of opposing ideas is particularly crucial in a university environment.
Nation/World
The Nation/World pages contain national and international stories of significance. We realize that the Kansan is the primary source of information for many of our readers. These pages are important to keep readers informed about important events outside of the Lawrence area.
Hilltopics
Hilltopics is the feature page that appears in the *Kansan* on the
back page of the "A" section on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Features stories are longer articles that focus on a variety of topics ranging from quirky hobbies to profiles to indepth investigations of campus and national issues. Friday's page focuses on entertainment and includes movie, music and book reviews.
Sports
The Sports section contains news of local, regional and national sporting events. Although the primary focus is on complete coverage of the Jayhawks, Kansan sportswriters also keep you up-to-date on club sports, individual and professional sports.

How to submit a news release
News submitted to the Kansan by telephone may cause problems because the staffers who field telephone calls are not the ones who decide what gets into the paper. To make sure your story gets a good chance to be published, write it as a news release. It is a relatively simple task.
These specifics must be included in each news release:
WHO is involved? Who is making the news? Who is sponsoring the event? Who is working on the event?
WHAT is the event? What happened or will happen? If an organization is involved, give the full name of the organization.
WHEN is the event? When did it occur, or when will it occur? Provide the exact time and date.
WHERE is the event? Give the street address, the name of the building or the room number if applicable.
WHY is the event occurring? Why is it newsworthy? For what purpose is the group or organization meeting?
HOW does this affect your group? How does it affect other members of the University community?
The release always should:
Include the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the information.
Be typed and double-spaced or at least printed legibly.
Be specific at every point. For example, is the speaker Pat Schwartz or Patricia Schwartz? Leave nothing to guesswork.
Explain abbreviations, including greek-letter organizations. Please spell out all organizations to avoid the possibility of error.
Indicate whether an event is public and whether fees will be charged. If fees are charged, include the amount.
Be delivered to the newsroom in person, if possible. You may mail it to 111 Stauffer-Flint Hall, send a fax to 864-0391 or e-mail editor@kansan.com. However, a personal visit will give the staff a chance to ask questions.
Give us notice several days in advance of the event. We might like to cover the event and need plenty of time to schedule reporters and photographers.
Campus events are listed free of charge in the daily On Campus listings. Some may be omitted for space.

Seahawks coach dies
Cancer kills defensive guru
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Fritz Shurmur, architect of the Green Bay Packers' defense that dominated the league in 1996, died today at age 67.
The Associated Press
Shurmur was in his 20th year as an NFL defensive coordinator. He followed Mike Holmgren to Seattle in January when Holmgren was hired as the Seahawks' coach and GM.
He returned to the Green Bay area for treatment of esophageal and liver cancer, which was
found during a routine checkup in May. Shurmur died at his home in nearby Suamico
Shurmur had remained in contact with friends and former players in Green Bay, even while his condition worsened.
"It's tragic," Packers quarterback Brett Favre said. "We all hate it. We knew it was going to happen, that it was just a matter of time. We considered him one of the family, even though he moved on to Seattle."
Shurmur joined the Packers in 1994, replacing current Green Bay head coach Ray Rhodes as defensive coordinator.
"We were still talking football with him, even when he wasn't doing real well." Packers linebacker Bernardo Harris said.
"Fritz rude me a lot when he was here. I really had somebody on me, trying to help me improve, and I appreciated that."
Shurmur was the league's longest-serving defensive coordinator. He was the Rams' defensive coordinator from 1983-90 and spent three years in Phoenix before joining the Packers.
Shurmur was known as a defensive innovator and a premiere teacher of the game. He wrote four books on defense and coached for his entire adult life, beginning in 1954 as a graduate assistant at his alma mater, Albion (Mich.) College.
He was a defensive coach at the University of Wyoming from 1962-70 and head coach at the school from 1971-74.
Tiger follows Golden Bear's steps
The Associated Press
AKRON, Ohio — Tiger Woods used to keep a list taped to his wall of all Jack Nicklaus accomplished, such as his U.S. Amateur victories, his NCAA title and above all the 18 professional majors that serve as a benchmark to the greatest career in golf.
Here's one Woods probably didn't include.
With his victory Sunday in the NEC Invitational on Sunday, Woods became the youngest player to win five times in one year since Nicklaus, nicknamed the Golden Bear, won his fifth tournament of 1963 in the Sahara. Invitational at the same age — 23 years, 8 months, 30 days. Only Woods isn't finished.
His woods are finished.
He still has at least three tournaments left this year, maybe more. The way he has played since May, it is not unreasonable to think Woods can win again.
The NEC Invitational was his fifth victory in his last eight tournaments.
"I'm playing well, but I kept thinking this week that it's just a culmination of hard work," Woods said after his one-stroke victory over Phil Mickelson in the World Golf Championship event for Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup players.
And all of a sudden, the comparisons to Nicklaus are starting to come into focus again.
They first surfaced when Woods overwhelmed Augusta National more than Nicklaus ever did, winning with a record-score of 270 by a record-margin of 12 strokes in 1997.
Nicklaus even suggested that Woods might win 10 green jacketes before he was done, which sounded like a stretch when Woods went 10 majors before winning another one. But while Woods only has two majors to three for
Nicklaus when he was 23, he has won 12 times on the PGATour, compared to eight times by Nicklaus at this stage.
The way Woods has dominated the talented pool of worldwide players can make one only wonder what the future holds.
He has been saying all along he is building a swing that will make him more consistent, more controlled. No one
believed him, especially since he won only one time on the PGA Tour last year.
Nick Price saw it with his own eyes.
Nick felt sure it with his own eyes. "Over the last two or three years, every time I've played with him it seems like he's just rounding off an edge here or there. I think he's going to continue to improve, too," he said.
Woods took home $1 million from Firestone Country Club, making him the first player to surpass $4 million in one season and giving him more than $9.9 million in three full years on the PGA Tour, already good enough for 12th in career earnings.
.
Woods:Already has won five tournaments this year.
He also is in the middle of renegotiating his contract with Nike, a five-year deal reported to be in the neighborhood of $80 million to $90 million. Woods said this week those figures were too high, but that was before he won yet again.
Woods became the first player to win five tournaments in a season since Price in 1994. Price, who won the British Open and the PGA Championship that year, remembers what it was like to show up at every tournament feeling that if he played well, he would win.
"You feel like it's never going to come to an end," Price said.
