THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
(USPS 650-640)
A time to say goodbye

Mourners step at a memorial placed at the side of railroad tracks near the intersection of Seventh and Maple streets. Yesterday, people continued to leave cards, flowers and momentos at the scene of Sunday night's one-vehicle accident. A small pick-up truck carrying eight men flipped after running onto train tracks. Three were dead on the scene; three others remain in area hospitals. As all men involved were connected with Haskell Indian Nations University, the school held a memorial service for the victims Monday morning. Police have not identified the cause of the accident but say alcohol played a role. Photo by Roger Nomer/KANSAN
Officials intensify watch for underage drinkers
By Emily Hughey writer@kanson.com Kanson staff writer
It's Friday. A late summer night is setting in — a night to be spent on the front porch with friends, a few hundred acquaintances and a keg or two.
Such would have been the scene for Tim Holtzclaw, an 18-year-old Wichita sophomore, and his friends if they would have left the party a bit sooner.
While rolling the third of six kegs to the car at a local liquor store Friday afternoon, a van of undercover Alcohol Beverage Control officers — a scene typical to last weekend and probably weekends to come.
Holtzclaw said he just went along for the ride. He now has a court date.
He's not alone. Last weekend, the ABC issued 98 minor in possession and six administrative citations to liquor licensees.
"There's always sort of a presence, but sometimes there's a more stepped-up presence." Goering said. "There is a more concentrated effort in college towns right now ... it's basically to let bar owners, their employees and students know they're there to enforce the underage drinking laws."
Angela Goering, Public Information Officer at the ABC, said the ABC was in full force not just in Lawrence last weekend but in a lot of college towns.
A MIP charge entails a notice of a court date at which the offender can plead guilty, not guilty or enter into diversion; and a fine ranging from $200 to $500 to be determined by the county district court judge. If the minor is convicted in district court and doesn't enter diversion, his record will be marked with a misdemeanor offense.
If the minor enters into a diversion program, his record will state the MIP violation instead of a misdemeanor. However, there is an additional $25 application cost to go on diversion, and the minor must pay for an alcohol evaluation and alcohol-education classes in addition to the fine.
However, Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence Police Department, said the best way to avoid fines was to abide by the law.
"They shouldn't violate the law." Wheeler said. "People that don't violate the law don't have anything to fear from the police officers or the municipal courts."
Amy Randolph, Lenexa sophomore, said she tried to stay away from police officers when she drank. Instead of going to bars, she said she drank on private property at parties she didn't

think the ABC would visit. However, she said she did not feel hostile toward the officers.
"I don't have a problem with them," Randolph said. "They get a bad rap for doing their job, and it's not their fault that the laws they have to enforce are pretty stupid."
Nevertheless, Holtzclaw and 97 other area minors will be facing fines and diversion programs on top of school work and jobs. Holtzclaw said he was concerned about the cost of his violation.
"It really bothers me, but I admit that I broke the law," Holtzclaw said. "I've got to keep straight. I'm really trying this year to do good, and a few little things that everybody does, I get caught for, and I wasn't causing any harm. And now it's messing with my life."
'Gerrymandering' lessens city's clout

12,000 county residents claim other addresses

state politics.
When students fill out census registration forms for the year 2000, they could affect how Lawrence is represented in the Kansas Legislature.
Article 10, Section 1 of the Kansas Constitution orders the state to adjust census figures every 10 years to account for students and military personnel living in legislative districts. That means students who live in Lawrence during the academic year but claim permanent residency in another town are included in the other town's legislative district.
That adjustment, according to Student Body President Korb Maxwell, leaves college towns such as Lawrence, with less representation in
"It's supposed to be non-politically motivated, but what it's damn close to is gerrymandering," he said. "There are some people in western Kansas who are scared because they're losing their population. While I can feel for these people, the answer isn't to penalize students."
In Kansas, about 19,000 people comprise a legislative district. According to the 1990 census, there were 81,798 residents of Douglas County, but 12,000 of those people claimed other addresses as their permanent residences.
Maxwell said if those people had claimed Douglas County, the state could have allotted another seat in the Legislature.
Kansas is the only state in the nation to allow census adjustment. Maxwell, a member of the Census Adjustment Advisory Group, said that non-resident students have no representation in Kansas as a result, but that even prisoners in
"One representative can mean a lot," he said. "One person can end up as chair of a committee. One house seat could end up becoming Speaker of the House."
Leavenworth Federal Prison are counted as residents. More than 30 percent of students at the University are non-residents - the highest percentage of all Board of Regents institutions.
"It items like when Kansas is pioneering public policy, sometimes we fall short of the mark," Maxwell said.
Most of the counties that showed a negative adjustment, including Douglas County, were homes to a university or community college. Riley County, where Kansas State University is located, had the greatest adjustment: about 19,000 of more than 67,000 residents claimed other permanent residences.
Maxwell said he had considered sending letters to student living organizations to encourage students to claim their college addresses as their permanent residences on their census questionnaires. He said that he had also proposed that students fill out the questionnaires before they could enroll for this spring's semester.

Scholarship hall residents tackle same parking overflow hassles
By Michael Terry

Kansas staff writer
The University of Kansas parking department is looking into ways to solve the overcrowding problem facing students in KU scholarship hall parking lots.
Donna Hultine, assistant director of the parking department, said that she was aware of the lack of parking spaces around the scholarship halls.
"Parking has always been a problem in the scholarship hall area." Hultine said. "The problem originates back to when the halls were first built and that the designers never anticipated so many students bringing cars to campus."

will have a place to park." Hultine said. "The problem is we have run out of space to put another spot in."
"We are planning to bring a proposal before the parking board to limit the number of parking permits sold to the number of spaces actually available," Hultine said. "We tried this proposal three years ago, but we were down flat by the scholarship halls."
Hultine said that one of the ideas being considered for the scholarship hall parking problem was putting a cap on the number of permits sold for that area.
Sarah Crumrine, Olathe junior and president of the All-Scholarship Hall Council, said that a portion of the gravel parking lot at 13th and Louisiana streets will open 20 to 25 spaces on Sept. 20.

Nathan Judd, Tecumseh junior and Pearson Scholarship Hall resident, was annoyed that the parking department had oversold so many permits for the scholarship hall parking lots and thought that limiting the number of passes would be a good idea.
"I paid $75 for a parking pass, and that doesn't even guarantee that I will ever get a parking space," Judd said. "The parking department should tell us, especially the incoming freshmen, that having a parking permit is no guarantee that you'll ever find a parking space, instead of hiding it in the small print."
"In the past the University used to issue cards that said where students lived and then went to stickers to put on the back of their KUID cards, but now they have stopped this procedure." Hultine said. "We had a problem a few years back with students receiving parking permits that did not live in a scholarship hall, and we'll be happy to look into any complaints that students may have concerning this."
Hultine said that there was really no way to tell when students bought their permits if they really belonged to a scholarship hall.

Students stuck waiting on textbooks
Bookstores blame professors, publisher
"It's not often that all three are all out of books."
By Amanda Kaschube
writer@kansan.com
Kasman staff writer
A recent shortage of textbooks has left a number of teachers and students wondering about the reliability of University of Kansas bookstores.
Bill Getz, Kansas Union Bookstore textbook manager, said that the problem was not the direct fault of bookstores, but also of the publishers.
Getz said that the Union Bookstore generally ordered textbooks for 75 percent of the enrollment of a class. If the
"We have to look at our book supply on a daily basis," he said. "There is always a rush the week before classes start to the second week of classes. We are always replenishing books."
"In an environment with three other bookstores, we try to make it so no student goes away without a book," he said.
class is more specialized or if other bookstores cannot order the book, Getz said the Union Bookstore would order all of the books.
Keith Kileman, Jayhawk Bookstore textbook manager, said his store ordered 30 to 40 percent of a class's enrollment. University Book Shop's book orders vary among academic departments, but generally it orders 30 to 33 percent, said Mike Lammers, manager.
"There is a cooperative attitude in the stores." Getz said.
University Book Shop, Jayhawk Bookstore and the Union Bookstore are contractually bound to share textbook information. Any orders from teachers and class size information are shared so that all three stores can try to locate the books needed.
Several classes' textbook orders, such as those for Spanish and Math, have been delayed because of publishing problems. Getz said the shortages arose from not ordering enough for class sizes and teachers submitting late orders.
"The Spanish 104 books have been out of stock for awhile," he said. "They should have been here two weeks ago."
Raymond Souza, professor in Spanish, had a higher enrollment in his Spanish 776 class than expected. But, he said he contacted the bookstores a week before classes started, and they ordered more to accommodate the larger class size.
"I've found that if you check the books a week before classes begin then you're usually OK," he said. "But I have had problems in the past."

Lecture to discuss roles of student athletes
David Katzman will give a second lecture about the selling of the University of Kansas today as part of the University Forum series.
The presentation "Athletics and the University: Selling of the University, Part II" will be about urgent issues the university faces, said Thad Holcombe, a pastor at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave.
"He's a very level-headed guy," Holcombe said. "He knows how to get the issues out on the table."
He said Katzman, professor and chairman of American studies, might address the topic of student athletes and their roles within the University.
Holcombe said last year's lecture drew 230 people because it dealt with issues regarding Coca-Cola sponsorship and the smart-card system. He said he expected a good crowd at today's lecture, but not quite as large.
University Forum is free and open to students and members of the Lawrence community.
The lecture will begin at noon and conclude at 1 p.m. after a question and answer period. It will be at the ECM.
Scholars to present projects at Kansas Unian
Summer-long work will culminate for 19 McNair scholars who will present their projects at an annual symposium and banquet from 2:30 to 5 p.m., tomorrow at the Centennial Room in the Kansas Union.
Summer research is a capstone requirement for program participants, most of whom are first-generation college students and come from groups traditionally underrepresented in graduate education. Students get three hours of credit, receive a stipend and a housing allowance and are expected to devote full-time to their study. The format of the projects and the process of work imitate graduate schools.
"The purpose of the summer program is to give the students realistic expectation of what the graduate school is," said Tanya Kooli, McNair project coordinator. "It gives them confidence that they are able to do research."
—Irina Rodriguez
Students have been working on their topics of interest, which include lefthandedness, African-American women of the Pre-Civil War plantation South and Maquiladora workers, among many others. The papers often are presented at professional conferences and occasionally published.
"It was a lot of work," said Madinah Hazim, Topeka senior. "But it was a really valuable experience of doing research and presenting, It kept me thinking all the time."
The presentation of the projects is open to the public.
Police to continue search for robbery suspects
Officials continue to investigate yesterday morning's aggravated robbery and burglary at the Westminster Inn, 2525 W. Sith St, Lawrence police said.
W 3kck Oc., Lawrence police At 3:34 a.m., police were dispatched to the hotel. The clerk said that two males had entered and showed him an object that appeared to be a gun. They asked him for money, and when he did not immediately comply, the second suspect struck him on the face with the object.
The victim proceeded to give the perpetrators an undisclosed amount of money. The two men left on foot.
The first suspect was described as about 5-foot-8 and 150 lbs., wearing a red shirt and dark pants. The second suspect was described as 5-foot-10 and 180 lbs., wearing a blue sweatshirt and dark pants. Both men wore black leather gloves and had their faces covered with stocking caps or bandanas.

NATION Hotmail closed down; cause of defect unknown
REDMOND, Wash.—Microsoft's free Hotmail e-mail system was shut down for about seven hours because of a security flaw that left millions of accounts vulnerable, though it was unclear whether anyone was harmed.
"We haven't heard any reports, any customers calling to say they were affected by this directly," said Deanna Sanford, lead product manager for MSN marketing. Microsoft's Internet division.
Kim Bouic, a spokeswoman at Waggener Edstrom, a public relations firm under contract to Microsoft, said yesterday that the system had worked smoothly ever since the problem was fixed.
Microsoft shut down its Hotmail email system, which has 40 million accounts, for about seven hours Monday morning after discovering the flaw that made accounts vulnerable to outside access. The company said the trouble was fixed by 10 a.m. PDT.
"As soon as we were notified, we got our developers and testers on it, and we were able to determine a fix," Sanford said.
The problem was first reported by the Swedish newspaper Expressen, which said several hackers around the world had set up Web sites offering unauthorized access to Hotmail's accounts simply by typing in a user name. Microsoft got word early Monday morning, Bouic said.
Via the Web sites, people were able
to read and send mail from any account without having the password. The Redmond-based software maker did not know how long the accounts were accessible.
Medical schools decrease in number of applicants
CHICAGO—The number of applicants to U.S. medical schools declined for the second straight year last year and will be down even further this fall, according to the American Medical Association.
The authors of the report, published in today's Journal of the American Medical Association, did not explore reasons for the trend.
But one admissions dean said the robust economy is encouraging many potential doctors to try other fields.
"I think it's good overall, because those who are applying to medical school are being attracted for what I would call the right reasons," said David M. Trabisley, assistant dean for admissions at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore."They have a genuine interest in serving others, helping those that have medically related needs or advancing medical science."
Trabislly also said the increasing dominance of managed care and the prospect of heavy debt might discourage some potential medical school applicants. A typical medical student owes $100,000 by graduation.
Applicants for the 1998-99 class totaled 41,004, a 4.7 percent decrease from the 43,020 applicants for the class entering in 1997. That year's applicant pool was 8.4 percent smaller than in 1996.
MIT student found dead in residence hall room
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — A Massachusetts Institute of Technology junior was found dead in his residence hall room early yesterday after using a plastic bag to inhale lauuching gas, campus officials said.
The body of Richard Guy, 22, was discovered shortly after midnight on Monday. Guy, of Mission Viejo, Calif., was a physics major.
The medical examiner said Guy died from asphyxiation as a result of nitrous oxide intoxication.
Pure nitrous oxide dissolves in the bloodstream, pushing oxygen out from the blood into the lungs, depriving the brain and other organs of oxygen. Dentists frequently use it as a painkiller.
MIT officials released few other details and did not return phone calls seeking comment.
Classes aren't scheduled to begin at MIT until Sept. 7, but freshmen and some upperclassmen already had moved into their rooms.

Some students not ready to switch hometowns
The Legislature failed this year to pass a resolution to end census adjusting. The resolution fell 20 votes short of the 84 it needed to pass.
Continued from page 1A
Rep. Dan Johnson, R-Hays, said that he voted against the resolution because he thought that rural counties didn't receive enough representation.
"I feel we're just being shut out and farther," he said. "There are more representatives from Wichita than from the western half of Kansas. My district gets bigger in land area and smaller in population. I want to do all I can do to change that."
Another legislator who voted to defeat the resolution, Rep. Carl Dean Holmes, R-Liberal, objected to including military personnel from other states in the census.
"They're not registered to vote here, and they pay taxes in their home state," he said. "I think people ought to be counted where they live."
people ought to be counted where may they
Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh said that
census adjusting was too expensive for the state's budget. The 1990 adjustment cost the state about $300,000, he said.
"My view is that it serves little purpose," Thornburgh said. "Ten years ago, people wanted it to preserve rural legislative seats, but we're returning fewer than 100 people. That's just a drop in the bucket for a district."
Thornburgh also said collegiate communities experienced the greatest impact.
"Nine months out of the year, students use the roads and utilities, yet they're not getting representation," he said.
"If I knew I'd be in Lawrence more than a couple of years, I probably would," he said. "But I don't consider Lawrence home."
Brandon Deines, Hoxie junior, said he wouldn't change his residency status to give Lawrence more representation.
The Legislature will make final adjustments for the 200 census in July, 2001.

SenEx enters evolution fray
Resolution tabled until next week
By Nathan Willis writer@kanson.com Kanson staff writer
The University Senate Executive Committee moved yesterday toward officially opposing the Kansas State Board of Education's Aug. 11 decision rendering evolution studies in Kansas public schools optional.
There was no debate among members of the SenEx at its meeting yesterday afternoon about whether the University of Kansas should object to the board's decision. Instead, the focus was on how best to object to it.
In the end, SenEx tabled a vote on the resolution until next week so that it had time to finalize the wording of the resolution. After next week's vote, SenEx will forward the resolution to University Council for approval Sept. 9.
Peter Gegenheimer, the resolution's sponsor and professor of molecular biosciences, said the University should not try to frame the debate as a matter of science vs. religion, but instead as education vs. ignorance.
"This is not a religion-vs.-science type argument," he said. "This is a political argument."
Korb Maxwell, student body president, agreed.
"We are not attacking that faith and reason can go together; that faith and science can go together," he said.
Gegenheimer said the board's decision not only affected the scientific curriculum stripped from state standards — macroevolution and the Big Bang theory of origin of the universe — but also all areas of scientific inquiry because the board placed scientific conclusions on the same plane as personal beliefs.
"If students are told that science means you're free to think anything you want to, then we're all going to hell in a handbasket," Gegenheimer said.
Members of SenEx agreed it was this educational dilemma that the resolution should focus on. The resolution could be sent in the form of a letter to the board or to local school districts across Kansas.
"I think we shouldn't engage in a debate," said Barbara Romzek, professor of public administration and SenEx member. "Instead, we should focus on how it affects the ability of the University to perform its mission, which is to educate generations of students."
That's what SenEx did. They opted to draft a short preliminary resolution that focused on the educational deficiencies caused by not teaching evolution, which, members said, should make it less vulnerable to attack by creationists.

Board of Regents works to define positions after Legislative changes
By Clay McCuision
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The staff members do not yet share the same office space, and their responsibilities are not yet precisely defined.
Until this summer, 17 employees researched and coordinated affairs in the Board of Regents office, across the street from the Statehouse in Topeka. After the Regents were reconstituted by the Legislature July 1, six staff members from the State Department of Education were reclassified as Regents employees.
"We're in the process of looking at how the organization should be structured from a staff point of view," said Barb Conant, communications director of the Regents. "It really does take the state and

board back to very fundamentals of the organization."
"That's really a staff responsibility, making sure we support them." he said.
The bulk of the Regents' staff is in Topeka's Security Benefit building. The Regents have acquired additional office space in the building, and the staff should be under one roof within the next 60 days.
"We are eager to get over there" said Joe Birmingham, Regents chief of staff. "We look forward to being able to communicate more readily and easily with the rest of the staff."
Kim Wilcox, executive director of the Regents, said the increased duties of the board made their staff's work critical.
The Department of Education staff members previously worked with community colleges and technical schools throughout the state. Regents staff members previously worked only with the six four-year state colleges.
Wilcox said that overall he was pleased with the staff's accomplishments so far.
The entire staff now shares responsibility for all 37 institutions of higher learning in Kansas.
But positive attitudes can't solve everything.
"I'm very impressed with the initiative shown," Birmingham said. "We'd be doing nothing but trying to stop fistfights if people didn't have a positive attitude."

Textbook shortages not always in hands of Lawrence bookstores
Continued from page 1A
Erika Dode, Topea junior, said she was having problems finding textbooks for her History 342 class.
"If we don't have the right information, we can't get the books," he said. "They don't magically appear."
Kileman attributed many of the problems with Spanish textbooks at his store to late requisition orders from the Spanish department. He said that the deadline for teachers to order textbooks for the fall semester was April 15, but that by August, many class orders still had not been turned in.
Lammers said that his store was having problems with Math 115 and 116 because a new edition of the textbook was pending.
"We didn't get a lot of used books in, and it was a problem." he said.
"It's a pain to go back and forth to the store to find books," she said. "My goal one semester is to go and get them all on the first try."
Getz said that three of the main publishers were late delivering their books. The group includes Prentice Hall, one of the largest suppliers of books for a variety of classes. He said publishers have had problems shipping and packaging books.
class.
"We monitor the books very closely," he said. "If anything, it's sometimes in reverse. They order more than we need."
But not all classes were hurt by the shortage.
David Holmes, professor of a large Psychology 104 class, said he had not heard of any shortages for his class.
Lammers said the book ordering process would be smoother if teachers submitted requests on time.

24-hour library — Keeping Watson open
24/7 would do more than just keep the exhibitionists off the streets; it would give students a quiet place to study. Let's put the cash towards staffing the library, and spend the new $1 fee on books and subscriptions.
Service learning — This could be the
Senate's chance to leave something good in its wake. $150,000 could be the jump-start this
program needs to get off the ground. It's a gift that would keep on giving.
- One-year student fee reduction — If we split up the 150 grand, each student would get about five bucks each. Goodbye mac and cheese; hello Taco Tuesday!
FAIL
- Statues or memorials — The long battle for a new campus recreation center was a valiant one, but the campus isn't ready for a Kevin Yoder statue.
Bus shelters — Hmm, a place for Lawrence kids to smoke. Senate candidates to campaign and bars to advertise. Will there be room for bus riders? We doubt it.
- Student Senate office upgrades — We heard about the DVD players, and that's probably enough. A gold-plated gavel probably won't bring order to Senate meetings.

Diverse University attainable goal
If one fails to look closely, it may appear that the University of Kansas administration only desires non-white students if they can shoot a basketball. However, this is not the case. While 90 percent of the student body is currently European-American, the chancellor and administrators are making a sincere effort to diversify our campus. Their efforts will be a benefit to all concerned.
Only 47 percent of minorities are retained by the University each year, said Robert Page Jr., associate director of the Office of Multi-Cultural Affairs. This rate is dramatically lower than the retention rate of European-American students. Like other students, minority students often suffer from missing their families, lacking knowledge of the University's possibilities or not feeling

comfortable in a college environment. But, some minorities also must adjust to being a minority after coming from a high school where they were in the majority.
To help ease these problems, the University has created Hawk Link. This program is designed to help retain students of color but will be available to all students. The program will aid students in navigating the University's vast network of resources, programs and people. Students will be shown leadership opportunities and given the opportunity to develop a relationship with faculty members.
University sponsors minority visits to campus. It also has representatives visit high schools made up primarily of minorities and places ads in target publications.
To recruit minority students, the
All of this is desirable. It will increase the value of a University of Kansas education. Minorities bring diverse perspectives, life-stories and ways of tackling life's problems. Also, in a country that is becoming increasingly multicultural, we will live in an unrepresentative and unrealistic environment without more minorities. The administration should continue to work at recruiting and retaining a greater number of minorities. The faculty and student body should strive to make the University a more minority-friendly place. This will prove to invigorate our place of learning.

Perspective
Hot hall gets students hot under the collar
I write to you, gentle readers, from the fifth circle of Hell; a location that also goes by the name of McCollum Hall. The air conditioner was dead for five days, and the residents were dying by degrees. Exactly 95 degrees.
Early Friday, a iet of water vapor made hash
Loader columnist opinion at kansan.com

out of a transformer in the hall's basement, which was easily replaceable. The resulting surge also knocked out a motor, which was not.
CHRISTIAN LEE
McCollum Hall began to turn into an oven.
By Saturday, residents
slowly began to realize that the place was becoming a furnace. Howling in protest, dressed in undershirts and boxers and less reputable items of apparel, they ran down to the front desk to demand cold air.
They found a sign — "The air conditioner is broken. It will be repaired on Wednesday." And, beneath that — "The Big Mac is AWE-SOME!"
It is a testament to the character of the hall that no one manning the front desk was lynched.
An exodus began. It was now noticeably hotter outside the hall than inside; people went and bought fans by the truckload. The numerous signs telling people not to open the windows were ignored or defaced; the shutters flew open in an attempt to let some fresh air in. (Yes, the humid soup outside was fresh air in comparison to the fetid stuff circulating in the hall.) One sign had scrawled across it, "Keep 'em shut and BROIL!"
My refrigerator died at dawn. The heat was too much for it; it gave up the ghost and began to overheat to the point where you could fry an egg on it. Two people have complained to me that their computers had stopped working.
Night. Sleep was impossible; the closest anyone got was a sort of fitful marinading in their own sweat. Bugs, presumably looking for a chance to add to the misery, flew in through the gaping holes in the insect screens and began trying to make friends.
Sunday night, and mutiny is in the air. People have been stopping me in the halls, asking if I work for the *Kansan* and then begging me to do something. I sadly tell them that I ain't Walter
Cronkite but that I'll do my best.
The big question on everybody's mind can be summed up in a few words — who's the guy responsible for this, and when can I get a crack at him?
In the meantime, some students suffered expensive property damage, were forced to expend money to make their residence habitable, were living in the sort of environment that is conducive to illness and not conducive to study, and basically were made miserable.
No easy answer to that question, I'm afraid. I called Phil Garito, an official with student housing, to get the story on what was going on. He said that the replacement motor had been ordered on Friday and that it would hopefully arrive in Kansas City on Monday. He didn't know what sort of transport the motor was getting and said that he frankly didn't care as long as it got here.
Do the math. A part broke Friday morning. It took roughly five days to get the new motor in, and it took several more hours before the temperature returned to normal. That's a school week of sweltering heat.
Accidents happen. Machines break. That McCollum Hall should prove to be prone to mechanical failures shouldn't surprise anyone, especially anyone who's seen the elevators.
What surprises and dismays me is the utter lack of regard student housing showed towards its tenants in its response to the problem. Aside from the brief and mildly insulting message on the chalkboard downstairs, no one saw fit to inform the residents about what was going on, why it took so long, and what could have been done in the meantime. "They're just students; let 'em sweat." — that's the impression I got.
Last time I checked, FedEx still did next-day air delivery. Why on earth didn't the housing department make more of an effort to get the damn part here faster? Four to five days to make a delivery is the slow way; that motor should have arrived Monday at the latest. Yeah, it would have cost money. I'm out a few hundred for a refrigerator, and the folks who lost computers are out a thousand or so. We pay for livable residences; it is not too much to expect that money be spent to provide us with such. An ill friend of mine had to move out; fever in 95-degree heat is dangerous.
I'm angry. So are a lot of other people.I expect this sort of treatment from slumlords,not my university.
I don't want my money back. But an apology and a reliable air conditioner would be nice.

Salsa dance challenges Americans in Costa Rica
Watching Costa Ricans salia makes me sick with envy and wishing I wasn't club-footed on the dance floor. Not everyone here dances, but those who do move with a fluid grace and style that brings poetry to mind. It certainly had my traveling companions entrusted.
Two other students and I spent a weekend in the town of Puerto Jimenez, a one-and-a-half hour ferry ride across the gulf from our town. We had the good luck of running into some local guys at Donía Leta's, a beach-side hotel, bar and
sand volleyball hangout.
After some friendly 3 on 3 they invited us out on the town. That night I found myself sitting in the corner of El Rancho's back dancing room while the two women I came with danced away the night.
Sure, I'll join the crowd for some bass-heavy club hits, but with a partner, I'm paralyzed. Phil Collins and Genesis — you are my heroes. I can't dance. I felt better when some other enjs filtered in and sat on

the sidelines as the four women — two from the States, one European and one Costa Rican were twirled and swept around the room.
Earlier that afternoon, we'd been pointed in the direction of the sand volleyball by Jeff Lantz, an ex-Southern Californian who has lived in Puerto Jimenez for five years. He deals in real estate, problem solving for other ex-pats. And, with his partner Stig Hanson, he built the Iguana Lodge five kilometers outside of town on the white sand of Playa Platanares. Lantz's tan face, mustache and excellent Spanish almost hide the gringo in him.
Over lunch at the Restaurant Carolina, Jeff
He also pointed out some of the local characters, including one of the three Bobs in town — Cowboy Bob. This 72-year-old Floridian has a 27-year-old Costa Rican wife, a 3-year-old son and a blue Dodge Caravan. Neither Bob nor his wife speak each other's language well, but they seem a happy enough family. "It cuts down on things to argue about," Jeff chuckled as they drove off.
told us his parents still asked him what the hell he was doing down here. "I didn't run from anything or to anywhere," Jeff said. "I just wanted an interesting life. And where else can you go to the office barefoot?"
The beautiful beaches, wildlife and proximity to the virgin jungles of Corcovado National Park have attracted a fair share of foreign residents to Puerto Jimenez and the surrounding areas. In town, the menus are bilingual, and many locals speak English or Spanglish, no doubt learned for the tourist trade.
While we couldn't afford Jeff's lodge on our student budgets, he pointed us in the direction of the cleanest cheap rooms in town and invited us to use the beach at his place. So after a night of dancing, we trekked out to the Iguana Lodge and wiled the morning away with inner tubes and a body board, compliments of the lodge.
We had the beach to ourselves for most of the morning but by 11 the rains came and chased us back into town. In the afternoon, we ran into Jeff again, barefoot, on his way to get his brown, curly, sun-lightened locks cut.
We talked of our plans for the night and he told us a "discomovil" — a moving disco — would be coming to town that night. We asked if he would be going. "Maybe," Jeff said, but I sensed a kindred spirit when he gave me a sly wink and said, "But I don't dance."

Students battle homesick blues
By Amber Steuer writer @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Swirling in a wave of change, many new students are still fending off feelings of homesickness and are grasping for something comfortable.
"In general, the concern about homesickness is really rooted in missing the familiar," said Francis DeSalvo, director of Counseling and Psychological Services at Watkins Memorial Health Center. "It can be missing relationships, familiar surroundings, missing contact with important support people. It can be having difficulty developing new support systems and also missing the familiar in terms of a lack of structure."
In the second full week of classes, many new students are still adjusting to the changes that come with uprooting to a new environment. For most, however, homesick feelings that can manifest into anxiety or depression won't last long, DeSalvo said.
Tera Lee Hedrick, Wichita freshman, said she had felt homesick since coming to the University of Kansas but had adjusted well.
"I think I'm just homesick for my friends and my family and my dog and things that are comfortable," she said. "I try to email or phone and do things with people. If you're just sitting in your room or alone, it makes you feel worse."
DeSalvo agreed that the best way to deal with homesickness was to make connections with new people by going to class, joining a club or getting involved with a living organization.
"In general, the idea is to develop a structure or support system that's as good or better than the one you came from," he said.
Homesickness can develop into depression, marked by symptoms of changes in sleep.

ing or eating habits, prolonged crying spells, pessimistic thinking for more than a few days and difficulty concentrating. If these symptoms arise, a student should seek help at Counseling and Psychological Services, located on the second floor of Watkins.
However, DeSalvo said that not all prolonged unhappiness could be credited to homesickness.
Erin Hornick, Deerfield, ill., junior, was unhappy at two universities before coming to the University of Kansas.
"I was away from home before, but it was different," Hornick said. "I felt more comfortable here because of the people I became friends with and having my brother nearby."
Hornick went to Ohio University and Bradley University before transferring to KU. However, she said transferring wasn't the answer for most.
"If you can see yourself there, I think maybe you should give it time," Hornick said. "But I knew I wouldn't be comfortable there for four years."

AD WORKS OPERATIONS
OK KANSAS
LVD 746
By Joel Francis Special to the Kansan
If the purpose of transportation is to get from point A to point B, then several community drivers have missed the point. For them, a car is more than a mode of transportation; it is a work of art and a way to have fun.
Bess Price, Overland Park junior,
never has trouble finding her car in
a parking lot. Her multi-color 1964
Chevrolet Biscayne is well-known to
students living in the dorms along
Engel Road.
"I was driving home and saw the car and did a double take," said Sara Nistler, Olathe sophomore, of the ornamented auto. "I had to ask everyone else in the car if they saw it too. I didn't know what to think of it; I thought it was interesting."
Price describes her car as the piece of modern art in the parking lot. Many of the objects — dolls, plastic action figures, sparkly objects, a violin case and a duck's head — were already attached when it became Price's car.
"Over 100 people have contributed things to it," Price said. "All of the things were put on there by fifth grade classes, teachers and friends. I find new things every day."
The car was Price's birthday present from her boyfriend.
"Ineeded a car desperately." Price said. "I guess he saw it, and it intrigued him. I was definitely startled when he gave it to me. It's quite a contrast to the other cars in the lot."
Price has a hard time choosing which item on the car she likes best.

"It's not one thing that I like best," Price said. "If you take things individually, they are not as cool; It's a combination of minds fusing together."
The 14-passenger, 1974 Checker Airbus was transformed into a mobile mural by 15 students. The images include smiling faces, animals, flowers and colored patterns.
Central Junior High7th graders combined to give the VanGo Moblie Arts bus its unique look.
"It's an event when the limo comes," said Lynne Green, executive director of Van Go, 715 New Jersey St. "Kids come out, neighbors run out. We honk the 'ooghah horn' and people run out to see what the fuss is about."
VanGo delivers children to art projects around Lawrence. The program brings art into the lives of atrisk and low-income children.
"Van Go is about bringing joyful and good things to other children," Green said. "This theme is evident in the vibrant colors, children's faces and hands, pencils and signs of diversity and cultural acceptance."

In 1995, Lawrence resident Charles Jones organized the Art Tougeau parade, which is held the first weekend in May, so people like Green could show off their cars. Jones also had a
personal stake in parade — he is an art car owner, too.
"In 1995, I got a 1983 Ford Escort from a repo man for $200," Jones said. "I had to fix it up and get it running, but I got it for the purpose of making an art car."
Jones chose the state motto "Ad Astra Per Aspera," which means to the stars through difficulties, as the theme of his car.
"It has spoons, sheet metal cut into stars and trophies," Jones said. "The stars are on the sides and the trophies on top. It means if you work hard and pursue your wish, you will achieve your dreams."
Jones said that his car features 60 to 70 trophies for fish, cowboys and go-kart drivers, among other things.
Kyle Miller, Baldwin freshman and his father, Alan, also transformed cars into art. They have two unusual cars in their collection: a wooden car with a Volkswagen base and a wrought-iron Volkswagen.
"The wood car used to belong to my neighbor," Kyle Miller said. "I worked for him and he always used it, but it was starting to get pretty rotted."
Kyle Miller bought the car with the hopes that he could rebuild it in three weeks. Two years later, he is almost done with the car.
Miller was no to use the wood car as his school car, but instead

opted for a pink 1959 Chevy.
The future of the car is uncertain.
"I had plans to make it street lega again, but once I got driving it I realized it wasn't too safe if it got hit, Miller said.
"Maybe if someone wanted to buy it, it'd be for sale," he said. "I always wanted to put together my own car. It may have taken longer than expected, but it's good to see a project come together."
Alan Miller received the openweave, wrought-iron Volkswagen from the late KU professor Lee Miller, who is no relation.

"Lee said if I could get it running I "leave it have it," Alan Miller said. "I had to drag it home because it was locked up. I had to buy another Volkswagen, take the body off, take the wrought iron body off add substitute chaises."
Alan Miller said he understood why art cars brought enjoyment not only to the owners, but to everyone who sees them.
"It's a piece of folk art," he said. "It never ceases to bring enjoyment."

Football isn't fantasy for all sports fans
I had to go to the Kansas women's soccer game against Wyoming on Sunday, which they won, 4-1. It served as something of a mouthwash after the nasty taste the Kansas football game against Notre Dame left in my mouth. You know that really bad taste, like in the morning after a night when too much tequila was consumed? Yeah, that taste.
I'll warn you that I have an unusual dislike for random things. Like people who don't consider comic books literature. And the parking situation at the University, Wal-Mart — I can't stand.
Football falls belong in the list of stuff I don't like. They are just plain boring.
Some people live and die football. On Saturday and Sunday, they refuse to get from their couches, afraid to miss an offsides flag or an incomplete pass. But this sport is too low action. Before you consider me a communist columnist, check out this argument.
While watching the first quarter of Saturday's game, my roommate was flipping back and forth from the Jayhawks to the Penn State-versus-Arizona game. The score was something like 42-0 at switched channels, back and forth because there was so much dead air between plays.
Center snaps to quarterback.

throws the ball. No one catches it.
Team takes two minutes preparing to do the whole 6-second play again.
Exciting? Exciting like watching a glass of milk curdle.
As an experiment, I took a stopwatch out while watching the second quarter of this week's Monday Night Football game. I timed how much action really was involved in this game.
In this 15-minute quarter, how much time would you imagine the ball was actually alive, with a play happening? By the time the quarter was finished, there were only 3 minutes and 15 seconds of real action.
The rest of the time included replays of plays where nothing happened and Al Michaels talking about Lawrence Phillips dragging his girlfriend down a flight of stairs. There also was an interview with San Francisco player Bryant Young, who shattered his leg a little less than a year ago. He talked about how excited he was to get back into football, even if he has a titanium plate in his leg. Boomer Esiason said "Football players are amazing people when you think about it," Did he really say amazing? I wonder if Taylor's ex-girlfriend would agree. That glass of milk might be getting lumpy about now.
I'll still go to Jayhawk football games. I'll still cheer for them to win. I still think my friend Michael Henry's HAWK Club idea, which is trying to get more students to attend football games, with better seats as well, is a fantastic idea. Now if we could just have a beer at the game, like the rich people in the "scholarship" boxes. Maybe it would make the time go by more quickly.
Jones is a Mulvane senior in journalism.
So, can I still be your sports columnist, even though I have the scarcet letter now? Well, let me tell you, it doesn't matter if I don't enjoy football. After all, there is always women's soccer and even a volleyball match tonight to keep me entertained. And maybe I'll stay caught up in my classes during football season, at least until basketball season arrives. And if worse comes to worse, I can see how long it takes for my milk to curdle.

New defender adapts well
Soccer midfielder switches positions
By Brad Hallier sports@kansan.com
Kansan associate sports editor
Imagine Kansas football coach Terry Allen asking running back David Winbush to play free safety rather than his traditional position.
While that scenario is unlikely to happen, sophomore Natalie Hoygveld has made an unlikely and unexpected move for the Kansas soccer team.
After spending her entire career as an forward or midfielder, Hoogveld has begun the 1999 season as a defender.
“It's the first time I've played defender, and I like it,” she said. “I was a little uncertain at first, and I had a lot of frustrating moments the last couple of weeks, but as long as I find and keep
my confidence and have the right mind set. I'll be OK."
Coach Mark Francis said that Hoogveld has all the tools to make a good defender.
"You need to look at the strengths of a player and where they are best," Francis said. "(Natalie) is fast, athletic and good in the air, and she has done well and will stay at defender."
Hoogveld spent most of her freshman campaign for the Jayhawks as an outside midfielder. Her athleticism shone with a goal against Central Missouri State, a goal in which she dribbled around five defenders and slammed a shot. She also became the second Jayhawk in history to tally two assists in one match in a 5-0 win against Western Illinois.
But when the Jayhawks played their eight-game spring schedule, the only true defender that could play was Kylie Watts. Francis said that Hoogveld was placed at defender out of necessity.
"She was the best to adapt back there," he said. "She did so well in the spring that I figured we'd just leave her back there."
The adjustment didn't get any easier this fall for Hoogveld. She spent her summer playing forward for her club team in Calgary, but Hoogveld said she thinks that she is adjusting fine.
"it's like playing forward, in that you use your speed a lot," she said. "But on offense you use speed to beat defenders and on defense you use it to shut down the forwards and beat them to the ball."
Francis said that it's not easy making the adjustment that Hoogveld has made, and it takes a lot of work to understand a new position.
"You need to put them in a practice environment and correct them each time they screw up," Francis said. "She has made mistakes, such as her positioning. But she has a better understanding of the position. She's way ahead of where she was in the spring."

Jayhawks winning streak will be tested against Roos
By Shawn Hutchinson sports @kansan.com
Kansan kansaswriter
The last time that Missouri-Kansas City beat Kansas in volleyball, most of the current Jayhawks were in preschool.
That was October 19, 1982. Jayhawks' senior middle blocker Ananda Reves was 5 years old, Fast Times at Ridgemont High was still in movie theaters and the Kansas City Royals were an American League powerhouse.
It's been a long time.
for the Kansas volleyball team, that streak will be one of the many interesting side notes heading into tonight's regular season opener at 7 p.m. against the Missouri-Kansas City Roos at the Horesei Family Athletics Center. The Jayhawks ride a seven-match win streak against the Roos, lead the all-time series 18-1 and are undefeated against them in Lawrence.
Regardless, there still remains a match to be played.
"If we can jump out early and establish a playing tempo then that will benefit us greatly," said Kansas coach Ray Bechard, whose team was 15-17 a year ago.
The Roos, 13-18 a year ago, have most of their players back this season as well. They return five starters, including 5-10 junior Julie Mohrfeld, who racked up 498 kills and 61 total blocks last season.
"You can view last year's game and we'll see some similar tendencies," said Bechard, who is 1-0 against Missouri-Kansas City. "I think right now, in a first-match situation, we've got to worry more about what's going
"We're looking forward to putting everything together. Everyone's supporting each other, going all out and starting off with a bang."
Kansas swept all three games when the two teams met last season. Much of that same team will return for the Jayhawks this season, including all six starters and 10 players overall.

on on our side of the net."
The Jayhawks probably won't need to spend time worrying as long as a few of their star players perform up to expectations. Reves was an All-Big 12 Conference performer last season and is expected be the team's workhorse. Sophomore setter Molly LaMere had a strong game Saturday night in an exhibition win against Kansas alumnae, recording 44 sets and 11 digs. Juco transfer Danielle Geronymo also showed promise in Saturday's match, with 11 kills and two solo blocks.
The only question marks for the Jayhawks heading into the match are the knee injuries to starting senior middle blocker Anné Kreimer and freshman setter Amy Billings. Bechard said that Kreimer might be available for the game, but Billings was out for an undetermined amount of time.
Other than that, the Jayhawks think they're ready. Tonight will be the first regular season game played at the Horejsi Center, the team's new $3.8 million facility. The cozy 1,300 seating capacity, could mean a significant home-court advantage for the Jayhawks.
"We're all really excited about it," said senior defensive specialist Kristi Kiyabu. "We're looking forward to putting everything together. Everyone's supporting each other, going all out and starting off with a bang."

Football upset hits hard deep in heart of Texas
By Michael T. Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Team blames blunders on players' inexperience
They say everything is bigger in Texas. According to the Texas Longhorn football team, this includes the upsets. North Carolina State, who knocked Florida State from the ranks of the undefeated last season, waltzed into Austin, Texas, Saturday night and came away with a 23-20 victory against then-17th ranked Texas.
While North Carolina State finished 7-5 last season and played Miami in the Micron PC Bowl, this was not the same Wolfpack team as a year ago. North Carolina State lost star receiver Torrie
Holt to the NFL, along with nine starters.
Longhorns coach Mack Brown was pensive about the loss to the underdog Wolfback.
"You fight your guts out over 300-plus days for 11 Saturdays, so when you lose one of them, it's really hard," Brown said. "As hard as it is for the fans, they could quadruple that pain for myself, our
coaches and our players be ca use we're the ones who put in all that time. I
am totally devastated every time we lose.
What we've got to do is make sure we don't lose two games because of one loss."
Texas must recover in time to play the Stanford Cardinal at home this weekend.
On the bright side, the Cardinal doesn't boast the talent the Wolfpack has. While this may be a different story in science fairs, on the football field Stanford finished only 3-8 last season.
and in order to avoid starting its season 0-2, the Longhorns must keep pressure off punter Ryan Long. The Wolfpack blocked three punts on Saturday, the last of which led to the game-winning touchdown. Brown blamed the blocks on lack of experience.
"We had some young guys in there, and it was my mistake for putting them in when they shouldn't have been out there," Brown said. "They just hadn't had enough reps."
Still, Texas is weary of the upset-minded Cardinal.
"We know that they are going to come in here looking to beat us on our home field, just like everyone else," said
BIG 12 CONFERENCE

Longhorn safety Lee Jackson. "We've just got to get our game straight so we won't have the same problems this weekend that we had last Saturday."
It is hoped that avoiding these problems will help the Longhorns sidestep another Texas-sized upset.

Aries: Today is a 6.
There's plenty of work today, that's for sure. The good news is that there's plenty of money, too.
Don't try anything fancy, though. Just play by the rules. That's going to be true for quite some time, so write it down somewhere.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
You're in the mood for love today, but it might not come easily. Don't start an argument, even if the other person's ridiculous. Be supportive, and love could blossom. Be critical, and you could end up on your own. Well, temporarily, anyway.
It might seem like somebody's leaning on you today, and that could be the case. That stern demeanor will brighten right up when you tell this person that you'll do whatever it is that he or she wants. Then, scurry around and do it, and you'll really make points.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
Your friends will be your best teachers today, whether you want them to or not. Actually, some of their advice hasn't been requested, but it could turn out to be quite handy, nonetheless.
Leo: Today is a 7.
Today, you might get what you want from an older person simply by asking. You're kind of lucky, and this older person is feeling kind of generous. Don't let the fact that someone else failed keep you from trying.
Virgo: Today is an 8.
The first of the week was kind of tranquil, but now things could start moving. To some it seems like conflict, but to you it seems like action. If you've got your plan prepared, you could be tired of waiting. Just do it.
Today, you may have to deal with things you'd rather avoid — big bureaucracies, money you owe and obligations. If you pretend it's like a class you're taking, some of the pressure will be alleviated. And it is kind of a class, really — a class called life.
Libra: Today is a 5.
Scorpio: Today is a 5.
Sagittarius: Today is a 5.
You might feel threatened today, as if somebody that you thought you knew pretty well is attacking you in some way. Actually, that might just be the mood you’re in. This person could be asking you to do something, but you're not in the mood to be told what to do. Think about it and be nice.
Capricorn; Today is a 9.
Aquarius: Today is a 5.
You have to do a lot of work that must be done perfectly. That's the bad news. The good news is that this condition is only in effect for a little while, and you'll have more time to play tomorrow. You might even be able to play tonight if you're not too tired.
This is a very lucky day for you. Overseas contacts could bring in the money, or perhaps you'll get a special deal on an imported item. Your prospects for love also look excellent, and that's the kind of love that lasts forever. Let bygones be bygones, and you'll see.

Football, basketball tickets now available
Sports ticket distribution is more convenient this semester thanks to changes in the distribution process.
Instead of assigning a specific day for students to pick up their preordered sports packages based on their last names, the ticket office is allowing everyone to retrieve tickets at their convenience.
Students can get their football tickets as well as basketball coupons in front of Allen Fieldhouse until Friday. After Friday, students can get their tickets at the ticket office.
"I used to be a student, and I know how inconvenient this process can be," Jeffries said. "This year, I ordered the coupons early enough that they could be handed out together."
"It's much easier this way," said Jason Joffries, ticket office associate. "Students can just come down anytime they want without worrying which day was theirs."
This is the first semester that the basketball coupons are available at the same time as football tickets.
Students who did not purchase sports packages during enrollment can buy them starting tomorrow. Tickets are available on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Bird hid heart trouble from team physicians
NEW YORK — Larry Bird says he had an irregular heartbeat during offseason workouts late in his career with the Boston Celtics, but he never told team doctors.
He said he would feel sudden exhaustion and his heart would start "jumping around," according to an excerpt in this week's Sports Illustrated from his upcoming book, "Bird Watching: On Playing and Coaching the Game I Love."
After retiring in 1992 and joining the Celtics' front office, Bird felt the episodes more often. He finally told team physician Arnie Scheller and was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation
"I always knew there was something wrong with my heart." Bird wrote. The episodes, as he called them, apparently didn't occur during the regular season.
Bird was put on medication and told to exercise, eat healthy foods and drink alcohol only in moderation. But his condition worsened in the spring of 1997, right before he became the Indiana Pacers' coach.

Pain stalls Sampras' record run
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Pete Sampras winced as he bent to ease into the chair, the strain on his back sending spasms through his body, the pain etched on his face.
The four-time U.S. Open champion withdrew from that tournament Monday after hurting his back during practice Sunday.
The herniated disc delayed Sampras' bid for a 13th Grand Slam championship, a scenario that was falling neatly in place until he went to hit on the eve of the Open with Gustavo Kueren.
"I went for a shot," he said. "It was on a return of serve. I went for this backhand return, and I felt it. I did not hear anything, but I felt something go."
He said it felt like he was stabbed by a knife.
"It scared me. There's no question it scared me. I just walked off the court."

The treatment involves rest, followed by exercises and perhaps a month or two away from the courts.
The news devastated Sampras, who had been poised to make his run at the Grand Slam record at an event where he prospered.
"I really wanted to have a chance to play here," he said. "I'm not saying I was going to win here or whatever, but to break the all-time record was a dream that I had, to do it here in New York."
Sampras finished 1986 with 11 Grand Slam titles. His victory at Wimbledon gave him 12, tying him with Roy Emerson and bringing him to the hard courts of Flushing Meadows, a favorite surface.
He was playing well, felt he was in good shape and anticipated making a major run at the Open.
New quarterback for Rams fierce, intense
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — The newest quarterback for the St. Louis Rams pumps iron with the offensive linemen and thinks like a linebacker.
Less than 24 hours after Trent Green suffered a season-ending knee injury in Saturday's 24-21 preseason win against the San Diego Chargers, the Rams traded a seventh-round draft pick to Oakland for Paul Justin. For now, Justin will serve as the backup to Kurt Warner.
Justin almost became a Ram earlier this summer. A few days before the team reported to training camp in Macomb, Ill., the Rams offered him a one-year contract. But Coach Dick Vermeil couldn't even promise Justin that he would compete with Warner for the backup job, so Justin walked away.
"The situation didn't present itself the way I would have liked it." Justin said.
Instead, Justin signed with Oakland in mid-August, where he spent an uneventful two weeks.
Then the Rams called. "It's an unfortunate thing that happened to Trent." Justin said. "The guy was playing awesome. But the Rams like what I've done in the past and hopefully I can bring it here."
Justin's coach at Arizona State, Larry Marmie, once said that Justin had the mentality of a linebacker.
"I've toned it down a little." Justin said. "I used to fight, whatever. any time someone did something to me, my teammates, my offense."
Justin's career totals are 211 completions in 366 attempts (57.7 percent) for 2,523 yards, eight touchdown passes and 10 interceptions.
Underwood says he's committed to Miami
The Associated Press
DAVIE, Fla. — After weeks of wavering, rookie defensive end Dimitrius Underwood returned to football yesterday and pledged his 100-percent commitment to the Miami Dolphins.
The workout was the first for the unpredictable rookie since Aug. 2, when he walked out on the Minnesota Vikings after one practice to focus on his religious faith. Underwood said his career with the Dolphins would last longer.
Underwood, 22, arrived at the Dolphins' complex one day late after missing two flights from Michigan.
Underwood has a five-year contract, and the Dolphins consider him a long-term investment. But Coach Jimmy Johnson didn't discount the possibility that his newest lineman would play this season.
"He had an excellent practice, and without question he's an excellent prospect," Johnson said. "We had him rated as the top defensive end in the entire draft, and nothing he did today makes us change our mind."
Minnesota took Underwood with the 29th pick in the first round.
Underwood considered a career in the ministry after leaving the Vikings. They released him Aug. 11, and he was claimed on waivers by Miami after 23 other teams passed.
Underwood declined to tell reporters what changed his mind about playing football. Money isn't his motivation, he said. Underwood sacrificed a $1.75 million signing bonus by leaving the Vikings, and he'll settle for a base salary of $395,000 in Miami.
Broncos choose Griese as successor for Elway
DENVER — Bubby is out and Brian is in.
In a stunning move, Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan benched quarterback Bubby Brister Monday. Brister was the heir apparent to the retired John Elway, but will be replaced by second-year pro Brian Griese into the starting role.
The Associated Press
Just two weeks before the start of the regular season, the Broncos decided to go with a talented but unproven quarterback who has never started an NFL game.
Griese has played in just one NFL regular-season game, subbing for Brister in the fourth quarter of a victory against Philadelphia last season going 1-of-3 for 2 yards with an interception.
Shanahan, whose team is seeking an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl title, seemed unfazed by what most observers called a risky gamble.
"It's not that Bubby Brister has not played at the level I think he can," Shanahan said. "It's that Brian Griese has played so well throughout camp and preseason games that I think he deserves that opportunity."
"If I didn't feel like Brian could take us all the way, I wouldn't have ever made this decision."
The change was made a day after the Broncos were embarrassed 22-12 in Dallas, their second straight dismal performance on national television. Denver was routed 27-12 by Green Bay in the previous game.
Brister, 37, inherited the starting job after going 4-0 in the games he started last season in place of the injured Elway.
Under his stewardship, the two-time Super Bowl champions are just 2-2 this preseason.
"The pressure to replace a guy like John Elway is tremendous, and the scrutiny by the media is something that is overwhelming." Shanahan said.
During four preseason games, Brister completed 31 of 50 passes for 302 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions for a quarterback rating of 53.9. He twice threw interceptions on his first pass attempt of the game.
In Brister's defense, the Broncos' firstteam offense has not performed well as a unit. An abundance of penalties, missed assignments and dropped passes have plagued the team.
"Our offensive woes are not the fault of one plaver," Shanahan said.
The defense has not played much better either, and as a team the Broncos have averaged at least eight penalties this preseason.
But Griese has shined in the preseason, even if most of his work has come against second- and third-team defenses.
Shanahan said Griese had impressed him in everything he does — how he handles himself on offense, running game, passing game; how he handles himself in the huddle; the way he understands defense; his protection scheme, how he handles himself with the blitz under fire.
Griese, 24, who led Michigan to a Rose Bowl victory and a shared national championship in 1998, has completed 56 of 64 passes for 605 yards. Denver's six touchdowns and one interception for a 106.5 rating in the preseason.
("Brian) has consistently played better than I thought he would at this point in his career, and that's why he's getting this chance," Shanahan said. "He's been playing against the first-team defense (in practice), and he picks this (offensive scheme) up as quick as anyone I've ever been around."
Griese, the son of Hall of Fame quarterback Bob Griese of the Miami Dolphins, will play a minimum of two series with the first team in Denver's final preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers on Friday night.
Shanahan said he might play as long as one half, with Denver's third-string quarterback, Chris Miller, playing the other half. Brister, allowed to skip Monday's running drills, might not play against the 49ers.
Miller, a veteran who was out of football three years because of recurring concussions, signed with the Broncos last spring. He has played sparingly because of persistent tendinitis in his throwing elbow, but Shanahan said the quarterback threw without pain Monday.
Shanahan said he would know more about Miller's status today when the team returns to the practice field.
Asked if he thought Brister would come back to work today with a positive attitude, Shanahan said: "I just know what kind of guy Bubby is. He'll be there just like he has been in the past. He's disappointed, but he's going to come back in and support Brian, just like Brian has supported him.
"Brian's going to have some growing pains," Shanahan said. If necessary, "Bubby can come in and provide the spark, just like he did last year."

The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — As disappointed as Eric Crouch was about not being named Nebraska's starting quarterback, Coach Frank Solich said Crouch never mentioned anything about leaving the Cornhuskers.
Solich dismissed reports yesterday that he had to ask Crouch to stay on the team after Bobby Newcombe got the starting job for the No. 5 Cornhuskers.
Solich said he did speak with a disappointed Crouch after the decision was made, but would not get into the specifics of the conversation.
Crouch, a sophomore from Omaha, Neb., was expected to be at Solich's weekly news conference yesterday, but did not attend. Solich said Crouch did not want the quarterback situation to become more of a distraction as the Cornhuskers prepare for Saturday's season opener at Iowa.
"Responding right now would probably not help in any manner as far as him or the team before the game," Solich said.
QUINTILES
The Cornhuskers' depth at quarterback did get shorter yesterday
"The importance of the guy that's listed (number) two is sometimes every bit as vital"
Crouch, a redshirt freshman,
replaced Newcombe and went 4-2
as a starter.
with the announcement that junior Jay Runty has decided to transfer to the NCAA Division IAA program at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Runny, who along with Jeff Parino was expected to back up Newcombe and Crouch, never threw a pass in the seven games he played for the Cornhuskers.
Solich compared this year's quarterback situation to the 1994 season when Tommie Frazier and Brook Berringer competed for the top spot. Frazier was listed No. 1, but Berringer came on when Frazier went out with a blood clot in his leg. Frazier came back to start the Orange Bowl, when the Cornhuskers capped an undefeated season with a win against Miami and won their first of three national titles this decade.
Frank Solich Nebraska coach
This fall is the second straight season Crouch and Newcombe have battled for the starting job, and Newcombe has won both times. Newcombe, who was the third running back in the Nebraska offensive scheme as a freshman two years ago, tore a knee ligament in last season's opener. He returned three games later, but was not 100 percent and had reconstructive surgery in December.
"The importance of the guy that's listed (number) two is sometimes every bit as vital," Solich said.
Both Newcombe and Crouch will play Saturday against the Hawkeyes, but Solich said there was no set agenda. He said Crouch will play at least a series each half, regardless of the score.
"Both quarterbacks, when we visited very early on about both of them competing for the job and how it might all play out, they both indicated that they wanted the No.1 guy to take the majority of the snaps," he said. "That's what we'll do."
Kansas State holds the line
Simomeau leads Wildcat linebackers
MANHATTAN, Kan. — A year ago, Mark Simoneau made up one-third of what many considered the nation's best collegiate linebacking corps.
The same could be true again at Kansas State this year, Simoneau said, even though Jeff Kelly and Travis Ochs are no longer with the Wildcats.
The Associated Press
"I'm still one of the three," said Simoneau, a 6-foot, 240-pound senior. "We have two other guys (senior Travis Litton and sophomore Ben Leber) who are going to be great players.
Together we can make a difference!
C
y e t , " Simone a u said. "As they get that opportunity, hopefully they'll get that recognition."
This year, the Big 12 coaches have predicted him to be the conference's defensive player of the year, and he's also been mentioned as a candidate for the Butkus Award as the nation's top college linebacker.
A year ago, the Wildcats ranked third nationally in total defense at 268.3 yards per game, as Simoneau, Kelly and Ochs combined for 233 tackles and 111/2 sacks.
with a muscle strain. That earned him first team All-Big 12 Conference and second team All-America honors by The Associated Press.
Simoneau already has earned plenty of individual recognition in his first three seasons at Kansas State. He led the Wildcats with 95 tackles last season — including a team-high 58 unassisted stops — despite missing the first game
The important thing, Simoneau said, is keeping up Kansas State's reputation as a defensive powerhouse.
Buckeyes look for remedy to initial glitches
The Associated Press
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Coach John Cooper will need help carrying the "to-do" list facing his Ohio State Buckeyes when they get back to the practice field.
the Buckeyes face No. 17 UCLA on Sent. 11.
"We've got to tackle better, block better, protect our quarterback, run the football better.
In the 10 minutes it took Cooper to get in the interview room after Sunday night's 23-12 loss to Miami in the Kickoff Classic, he already composed a sizable pile of projects to be finished before the Ritz.
Oregon STATE
certainly eliminate our turnovers, and we've got to be more efficient in the kicking game," Cooper said. "You name it, we've got to work on it."
The Buckeyes rushed for just 116 yards and passed for 104 more, averaging just 3.9 yards per play. They fumbled four times, losing two, and had two interceptions to go with seven costly penalties.
The Buckeyes never recovered after Kenny Kelly ran for a score and then tossed a long touchdown pass to Santana Moss with eight seconds left in the first half to turn a two-point Ohio State lead into a 23-9 burial plot.
And not just the players. The coaching staff must evaluate and determine a workable rotation at quarterback and tailback.
Austin Moherman was playing well before he was pulled in favor of backup quarterback Steve Bellisari. Cooper said he wanted to avoid another battle for the job like the one between Joe Germaine and Stanley Jackson in 1996 and 1997, when they traded series.
The defense also will be scrutinized. A veteran front line seldom applied pressure to Kelly and the secondary surrendered 245 passing yards — including the looping, wind-blown 50 yarder from Kelly that Moss turned into the 67-vier clincher.
Ohio State had 10 new starters on the Giants Stadium field. But offensive coordinator Mike Jacobs said rookie mistakes weren't why the Buckeyes lost.

Texas A&M quarterbacks compete for backup spot
The Associated Press
COLLEGE STATION, Texas Redshirt freshman Vance Vance thought he had a clear path to becoming Texas A&M's backup quarterback.
Then 24-year-old freshman Mark Farris traded pro baseball for college football.
Starting quarterback Randy McCown endured injury, demotion and frustration in his three years of competing with Brandon Stewart to be the Aggies' quarterback. Now Smith and Farris will compete to be his understudy.
"The way I looked at it last year was there were no real challengers, and I could go straight to being the backup," Smith said. "Now it's been kind of like a roller coaster."
"Instead of just learning X's and
O's you are fighting for your life."
Smith, 6-foot-4 and 235 pounds, is a classic drop-back passer with a strong arm. He competed in basket
ball, baseball, track and golf in high school and has demonstrated good scrambling ability for his size.
ATM
R. C. Slocum hasn't decided who will be the backup.
Still, in the
The Aggies signed Farris in 1994 as part of an elite recruiting year that included Dat Nguyen, Dan Campbell and Warrick Holdman, all drafted by the NFL after last season.
"If something happened to Randy, I feel like we could take the other two guys and go through this season and not be just dead in the water," Slocum said. "Either of those guys would be able to go out and play quarterback for us."
Farris, 6-2 and 212 pounds, also has a strong arm. He was nicknamed
"the rifleman" when he played for Angleton High. But baseball beckoned after high school, and he agreed to an $840,000 signing bonus to play in the Pittsburgh Pirates' organization.
Farris never forgot about football and, finally, too many long minor-league seasons in small towns persuaded him to come home.
So, five years later, a matured Farris came home to be with his wife and 4-year-old daughter to begin a new career.
McCown could be a good model for Smith and Farris. McCown did not back down from his challenge with Stewart. He got the starting job against Texas Tech in 1997, lost it, and got it back early last season.
Then he broke his collarbone in a 28-24 loss to Texas and watched the heart-warming return of Stewart, who led the Aggies to an overtime victory against Kansas State in the Big 12 Conference championship game.
Holtz not cocky about new team
M. A. SMITH
Holtz: the former Notre Dame coach is back in the game with the South Carolina Gamecocks
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Lou Holtz earned a reputation as a pessimist while coaching at Notre Dame, no matter how the Irish were doing. But concerns about his new team, the South Carolina Gamecocks, may be warranted.
His offensive line is small and inexperienced. His defensive secondary is without leader Arturo Freeman, who ruptured his spleen last week and will miss at least four weeks.
But Holtz's worries don't stop there. He also worries about his quarterback and the running and kicking games.
The young Gamecocks lack depth and experience. Holtz openly questions their physical toughness and conditioning.
You'd think he wouldn't want to play No. 24 North Carolina State (1-0) on Saturday in the Gamecocks' season opener.
No. Holtz said, "I feel so emotional about this game, and I don't think I'll have any problem getting this team ready to go."
He's back on the sidelines after two years as an analyst for CBS.
He talks about waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat trying to figure out how to beat N.C.State.
He talks about the rapid passage of time, since he was hired in December.

Cafeteria lines gnaw at hungry KU students
(USPS 650-640)
By Lori O'Toole
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Brad Bergman walked into Ekdahl Dining Commons Monday night for dinner.
But one look at the 40 or 50 people in the line that nearly reached the front door made him change his plans.
"I'm too hungry to wait in line another 15 to 20 minutes just to get a sandwich," said Bergman, Minneapolis freshman, who went to the cafeteria at 5:40 p.m.
Once people made their way through the first line and had their KUIDs scanned, a maze of lines for food awaited them inside.
"This is something inevitable when you get 1,800 people together at one time. It's probably a frustrating thing to them, but unfortunately, it's a part of college life.
"It's bad," Bergman said.
"If you really want to eat dinner, you can't come at a regular time. You have to come at 4 or 7 or something."
Bergman was not the only student upset about the lines at peak times.
"It bothers me," Miles Bonny, Teaneck, N.J., freshman said. "I just wish I could figure out the right time to come. Something definitely needs to be done about it."
"That's pretty typical for this time of year." Nona Colglede, dining services assistant director said.
Sheryl Kidwell, unit manager, said about 1,700 people had been eating at the cafeteria during the dinner hours, 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. She said that up to 900 of those people had been coming between 5 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
Sheryl Kidwell
She said that there were several factors contributing to the rush at peak times.
Kidwell said cafeteria employees posted flyers and left information on the cafeteria's tables encouraging students to try to come at an earlier or later time.
For example, she said many students were eating with large groups of people, especially with others on their residence hall floors, making it more crowded than if individuals came on
their own schedule.
unit manager
She also said that the cafeteria was continuing to hire student employees.
The cafeteria has about 14 part-time student employees working during the dinner hours in addition to about 25 full-time employees. She said she would like to hire at least 10 more student workers.
"We really rely on student help," Kidwell said. "They can make things go faster."
Golliedd said students had not been using E's Express, a small take-out cafeteria in the basement of Hashinger Hall, as often as usual —
another factor that could be adding to the dinner crowds. "I don't think everyone is familiar with it," she said.
Kidwell said that about 200 people had been eating at E's Express each night, compared to the average 300 to 400 people who ate there during the dinner hours last year.
She said although the dinner crowds appeared each year, the crowds could have seemed worse this year with nearly 300 additional students living on Daisy Hill and eating at the cafeteria with the opening of Lewis Hall.
Kidwell said the cafeteria employees prepared for the rush before 5 p.m. each night to better ensure that an adequate amount of food would be ready.
She said she anticipated the crowd situation to improve during the next couple of weeks as students adjusted their schedules.
Kidwell said the cafeteria would not extend its dinner hours, because only 50 to 75 people have come during the last 30 minutes it is open, while, on average, 300 students have come each 30 minutes during the busiest hours.
"This is something inevitable when you get 1,800 people together at one time," she said. "It's probably a frustrating thing to them, but unfortunately, it's a part of college life. You wait in line to get your books, you wait in line to get your food, you wait in line for basketball tickets."

Stadium deadline bonus pushed back
By Mike Miller
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The deadline demon has struck again. The completion date for Memorial Stadium will probably be moved back a week to Wednesday, but officials still are confident that the stadium will be done in time for the football team's home opener against California State-Northridge Sept. 11.
All parties involved, the University of Kansas — including the Athletics Department, Design and Construction Management Services and the University architect — and Walton Construction Co. met yesterday and agreed in principle to move the completion deadline from Aug. 31 to Sept. 8.
Warren Corman, University architect, said that a draft of a change order was sent out yesterday to all parties involved who must agree to the decision to move the deadline. All of the parties have to agree or the old deadline still will be in effect.
Corman said he hoped that the new deadline would be approved some time today
Originally the completion date for the press box and scholarship suites was Aug. 13, but on June 21 the department extended Walton's deadline and offered to pay a $300,000 bonus if the work was completed by Aug. 31. The money would be paid in two parts: $250,000 if the press box and scholarship suites were completed by Aug. 31; another $50,000 would be paid if the entire project was completed by Sept. 20.
Corman said that the problem was that the project couldn't get enough workers.
"They ran into a bunch of problems — not enough carpet, seats didn't come," he said. "If it was six months ago, and this stuff came up, it probably wouldn't have made any difference."
And the University has other problems to contend with. If the work is completed by Wednesday, the University has two days to move in furniture, install networking and telephone services for the press box and make sure the plumbing is up and ready.
"We're going to be checking this week to make sure that the toiletts work, the air conditioning is OK so that we can use it for the football game," Corman said.
Originally, if not completed Aug. 31, Walton would have paid penalties of $2,500 a day for the first week, $5,000 a day for the second week and $10,000 a day in subsequent weeks. Corman was unsure if the penalties would apply because of the proposed new deadline.
If the Aug. 31 deadline is moved back, the Sept. 20 deadline may be moved back as well.
"It's not uncommon to extend a project," said Doug Riat, associate director of design and construction management. "But it is unusual that we would have a project with a bonus tied to it."
When asked if the $300,000 bonus was effective, Riat said, "I don't think we would have ever gotten to this point without doing that."

Professor proposes paying athletes

Kansan staff writer
David Katzman, angry with the way student athletes are treated at the University of Kansas, argued yesterday that universities should stop pretending that athletes are not paid and pay them for services rendered.
Katzman, professor and chairman of American Studies, gave a speech entitled "Athletics and the University: Selling the University, Part II" at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries.
Katzman, who sat on the University Athletic Board for the last three years, said intercollegiate athletics could corrupt and harm universities.
He said that paying athletes would resolve a lot of ethical questions that arise with college student athletes.
"The primary goal of the University is education," he said. "Athletics has its place somewhere, but it's not the primary goal."
"If we paid athletes and made classes optional, we could admit that it was a business," he said. "Without doing so, we compromise the values and mission of the University."
Katzman also said that he thought student athletes were the victims, not the problem. The structure of the program was at fault, he said.

He said that although athletes are given scholarships that pay for tuition, room and board and other funds, they aren't given enough compensation for their work.

ACLU wants KU seal justified
Group says Moses invites investigation
By Clay McCuistion
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
In its first meeting of the semester last night, the University of Kansas chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union decided to investigate the appropriateness of the official University seal.
The seal depicts the Old Testament figure, Moses, kneeling in front of a burning bush, circled with a Bible verse in Latin. The phrase — video visionem hanc magnam quare non comburatur rubus — comes from Exodus 3:3, which the King James version of the Bible translates as Moses saying, "I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt."
The seal can be found in various venues around campus. It is reproduced on KUID cards, it decorates class timetables, and a three-dimensional representation of the seal graces the front of Smith Hall — the religious studies building — with a sculpture of Moses praying to a stained-glass bush.
"Any time you have a public institution that has a religious symbol with a Bible
verse as the official seal you're inviting scrutiny," said B u d d y Lloyd, KU A C L U m e d i a director. "This is a legitimate concern."

Kevin Sivits, KU ACLU president, said the group was reserving judgment until it heard an official University response.
"It's not an official complaint," Lloyd said. "We're seeing what their response is."
Union last night decided to send a letter to KU administration, asking officials to justify the words and depiction on the seal. The letter should be written before the end of next week.
"We can't proceed at all until we know that," he said.
"There's not a lot of outrage yet.

Alexis Valasse, KO ACLU executive director, said the investigation was part of the group's mission.

Haskell officials speak about weekend accident
Representatives from Haskell Indian Nations University spoke to the Lawrence community for the first time yesterday morning about the triple vehicular fatality which occurred shortly before 8 a.m. Sunday.
About 50 people attended the event which Interim President Karen Swisher began by reading letters of support she had received since the accident. Although Swisher said she was thankful for community support, she asked that the privacy of the families be respected.
"We are a very diverse group," Swisher said. "We represent 150 tribal groups and nations who all have very different ways of grieving. We ask that you respect that privacy."
Although police have not identified the cause of the accident, which left three dead and four others hospitalized, alcohol is thought to be involved.
"The Alcohol Task Force is certainly not as successful as we'd hoped," administrative officer Marvin Buzzard said.
Audience members questioned whether a zero-tolerance policy, which encouraged students to return to campus by 2 a.m., may have played a role in the Haskell students' being out so late.
Buzzard hasaskl reviewed its policies every year.

Residents watch in fear as fires threaten homes
LAKE ARROWHEAD, Calif.—Giant wildfires burned throughout the West, with the biggest blistering 52,800 acres and threatening homes as it crept toward lake resorts high in the San Bernardino Mountains.
Residents gathered on the shores of Lake Arrowhead to watch the orange glow of the blaze Tuesday night, fearing their homes will meet the fate of a dozen houses already consumed in the Mojave Desert below.
The so-called Willow fire was the largest of numerous fires being battled by more than 9,000 firefighters in California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and Utah. Elsewhere, a 40,000-acre blaze has charmed miles of grass in southern Idaho, five miles from Snake River town of Glenns Ferry.
Firefighters fought 20 mph winds and low humidity as they increased containment of the Willow blaze to 20 percent. Six minor injuries were reported, and firefighters counted some 30 structures burned.
Study advises drivers to be wary changing lanes
the urge to change lanes while driving may be caused by an optical illusion that convinces people the cars in the other lane are going faster, according to a study.
The basic problem is that cars spread out when they're quickly and bunch up when they slow down, said Dr. Donald Redelmier, a professor of medicine at the University of Toronto. So when you pass a bunch of slower cars in the other lane, it happens fairly quickly. But if you are passed by the same cars while your lane slows temporarily, they go by one by one.
That leads to the illusion that the other lane is moving faster.
In today's issue of the journal Nature, Redelmier and a Stanford University statistician reported the results of computer simulations of traffic.

Plane falters on takeoff, crashes on golf course
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — A jetliner carrying 103 people crashed on takeoff Tuesday, skimming wildly over a busy highway and bursting into flames on a golf course. Local news reports said at least 69 people were killed.

said the plane barely got off the runway when there was sickening silence from the engines. Then it plunged down.
"I saw people on fire. I was able to save myself (by escaping) through the rear of the plane," he said.
Local reports said the plane struck at least three cars while crossing the highway. It was not immediately clear whether there were casualties on the ground or in vehicles.

U.S. donates helicopters to Columbia for drug war
The refurbished Vietnam-era UH-1H helicopters will enable Colombian police to provide better protection for the crop-duster planes that spray illegal opium crops planted high on Andean mountainsides. Leftist rebels who protect the drug trade frequently fire on the planes.
Washington is the principal financier of Colombia's program to destroy the crops used to make cocaine and heroin. Armed helicopters like the ones donated yesterday provide security for crop dusting planes that kill coca and poppy plants with deadly herbicides.

Post-election outbreak in Indonesia turns fatal
DILI, Indonesia—Armed with homemade guns, rifles and machetes, hundreds of militiamen clashed with rockthrowing independence supporters yesterday outside U.N. headquarters in East Timor. One man was killed in the melee.
The militiamen, some wearing red-and-white headbands in Indonesia's national colors, shot, bludgeoned and mutilated a 19-year-old at the gates of the U.N. compound, killing him.
The violence came on the same day ballots from a historic referendum on the territory's future were being counted.
At least three others were injured in the militiamen's biggest show of force yet, and the violence raised fears that the former Portuguese colony could slide back into lawlessness.

Professor thinks athletes deserve to receive money
Continued from page 1A
Bob Frederick, athletics director, said he would not comment on the lecture since he had not heard it.
About 40 people came to hear Katzman continue his lectures on the problems the University faces. Two teachers and nine students from Lawrence High School also came to the lecture.
Danielle Lotton-Barker, philosophy teacher at LHS, said she brought her students to campus for an ethics lesson.
"We've been doing readings on ethics and we wanted to compare his ideas to other philosophers," she said. "It fit right into our unit."
Katzman said the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation had a budget of $20 million a year, which is one-fifth of the University's entire budget. The NCAA contract with CBS to air the Final Four games is $1.75 billion. He said athletics had become more commercialized in past years.
"From all the commercialization, athletics has lost its amateur status," he said. "It's about big money."
Phil Friedeman, a 1959 graduate of the University, attended the lecture and disagreed with Katzman's ideas about athletics.
"We need to keep the body and mind together," he said. "We should strive for excellence in sports and academics. The University is a symbol for excellence and sports are the most visible symbol."
Friedeman said if athletics were to drift apart from the University, money support also would drop.
However, Katzman said he has found no research to show that money donations to the University were affected by athletics. He said that if the athletic system was to change, people needed to start voicing their opinions.
"We are responsible for the kind of university that we have," he said. "The academic side has found it hard to resist money. We need to make a sign that says 'Not for sale.'"

Lazer modifies music format
Change makes KLZR more mainstream
By Emily Hughey
writer @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
If listeners haven't noticed, the Lazer, a self-dubbed modern rock station, has been infusing Top 40 music into its normal alternative lineup for the past three weeks.
Chad Elliot, program director for 105.9 FM KLZR, said the company that owned the Lazer, Zimmer Broadcasting, conducted a $50,000 survey to determine Lawrence's listening tastes. The survey uncovered that Lawrence wanted a more mainstream radio station.
"We're evolving it to serve Lawrence better," Elliot said.
The Lazer's target audience, Elliot
said, was the working family. He also said it included young adults.
Although the station is changing its format, which Elliot said would now include artists such as Paula Cole and Jewel, traditional programs such as the Local Lazer Music Show will remain on the air.
Despite the move toward more mainstream radio play, Elliot said he was not concerned with competition from other Top 40 radio stations in Kansas City.
"We're Lawrence. They're Kansas City. They're not focused on Lawrence, and they don't care about Lawrence. This is a third market for them, and they don't care," Elliot said. "We're excited about serving Lawrence, and our company is committed to the community we serve."
KJHK, the University of Kansas student radio station, also was happy with the change.
Jessica Dumler, music promotions director for KJHK, said she hoped the change in the Lazer's format would turn more people on to 90.7 FM.
"I think as far as KJHK goes, it's going to open up a big opportunity." Dumler said. "They were the only alternative rock station, and now it's an opportunity for us to gain more listeners."
However, Dumler said KJHK had no plans of changing its lineup. Although she said it would try to make it more accessible to new listeners, it would not go completely mainstream.
"We don't really want to change because we're a college, non-commercial radio station," Dumler said. "It'd be kind of like selling out."
Some students accused KLZR of selling out.
Austin Baumgarten, Prairie Village senior and former summer intern for the Lazer, said he didn't like the idea of the Lazer becoming more mainstream.
'I totally dislike it. They took so much pride in the respect they
received from Rolling Stone," Baumgarten said, referring to KLZR being named one of the "Ten Stations That Don't Suck," in the April 30 issue of Rolling Stone. "Basically, they played what they wanted to play. I think they're selling out."
On the other hand, some students said they looked forward to a more mainstream sound on Lawrence radio.
"I don't like the Lazer. I don't like the music they play," said Geri Cohen, Queens, N.Y., senior. "But I'll probably listen more now."
Still, there are other students who stand in the middle of the road regarding the Lazer's evolution. Tori Brennan, Topeka freshman, said she understood but did not especially appreciate the change.
"I don't know why they needed to make any changes," Brennan said. "I guess they're just trying to meet everybody's needs instead of being an individual."

Gasoline prices have skyrocketed during the past month, but price petroleum won't keep students in Lawrence this Labor Day weekend.

"Prices are higher now than I've ever seen them before," he said. "It's enough of a crunch just being a college student. When you factor in rising gas prices it puts more of a crunch on things."
Around the country last month, prices were highest in the West at $1.415 and lowest in the Southeast at $1.166.
Jenette Kubat, Boulder, Colo.. junior, also said the high prices in Kansas were no shock compared to those in her home state. She said gas prices would not keep her from driving home this weekend.
"Gas in Colorado is more expensive, so I'm used to paying that," Kubat said. "I don't even think twice about going home because I'm used to paying those prices."
According to AAA officials, the rising gas prices are due to an output reduction agreement made by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in March.
"They are bound to only letting out a certain amount at a time," said Lesley Huston, director of marketing and public affairs for AAA Kansas. "Earlier there was a glut of oil so that's why we were seeing lower prices earlier this year."

"There may be a thousand people in the audience, but you feel like she is talking to you," she said.
"She is one of the best examples we have of poetry that speaks to social change, the power of culture to bring about change," she said.
Graham said Giovanni had challenged young people to learn skills in college and then to use those skills to change the world.

Banning for-profit sidewalk ads should not affect other messages
The chalk advertisements on our campus's sidewalks need to go. They have polluted our space with mind-numbing commercial messages in a clever attempt to avoid University of Kansas regulations. We would all be better off with a regulation against them.
Free speech is not an issue. Chalk advertisements are not protected as "free speech" in the same way as a news article or novel. The Supreme Court recognizes that commercial speech does not possess the same importance as political or aesthetic speech because of the irrelevant nature of its content. If the University of Kansas were to ban chalk advertisements on campus, artwork or relevant messages would not be prohibited. Students could still use our precious sidewalks to protest U.S. foreign policy, wish their roommates a happy 21st birthday or invite other students to campus organizational meetings. For-profit chalk advertising is the eyesore that should be prohibited. These are advertisements for off-campus, private companies, which exist for no reason other than to tap into a the lucrative student market. The issue at stake should not be increased labor for the grounds keeping staff since rain washes these scribbles away, but rather an alarming trend toward commercial speech and consumerism on campus.
Provost policy should target only commercial chalkings
Advertising by companies such as drinksspecials.com is a major reason for increased consumerism.
Varsitybooks.com now ostentatiously
advertises their e-mail address on chalkboards in Wescoe Hall. This encroachment of commercial speech into the very classroom is at best bothersome and at worst destructive. Perhaps in the future, only professors with large corporate sponsorships will be allowed to appear in a classroom. The University may be the first academic institution to receive the honorable "Mountain Dew-the-Dewey-Decimal-System" chair in Library Science. Well, not while Coca-Cola still calls the shots.
No one wants students to lose an outlet for communicating with other students or expressing their creativity. The commercial messages, which typify the sidewalk ckb scribbles, are more of a corporate play rather than a real forum for student expression. We will be better off when they are gone.

Volunteerism adds to student life
Every Tuesday and Friday morning, while most University of Kansas students still are snug in their warm beds, a few rise with the sun. They find their way, rain or shine, to the lower level of the Trinity Episcopal Church at 10th and Vermont. There, they transform an average church room into the restaurant setting of the Jubilee Cafe where the atmosphere is friendly, the service is fast and the meal is free for the Lawrence homeless community.
The Jubilee Cafe is only one organization staffed by the Center for Community Outreach, a division of the University of Kansas Student Senate. More than half of Jubilee Cafe volunteers are students from the University, whom we commend for volunteering their time.
"It Jubilee Cafe provides anywhere,
Volunteering at places like the Jubilee Cafe should be a part of every students life
depending on the time of the month, between 40 and 100 poor and mainly homeless people with breakfast in a perfectly respectable setting," said Jibilee Cafe co-coordinator Chris Hess.
The Center for Community Outreach had made changes this year to give students more opportunities to get involved. In the past, Alternative Spring Break has given student volunteers the chance for a week-long community service project, often taking place in other parts of the United States. In addition, the center has started alternative weekends and winter
break projects for students who want to do more than go home for vacations.
"Alternative breaks are community service-oriented vacations to emerge yourself into different cultures and communities." Hess said. "It's the most intense community service project."
White students are reading camps looking for parties or just watching TV, they should remember there is another side of campus life to experience. Volunteering is a way to make a positive difference in the community, a way to enrich your life, and a responsibility to keep kind.
For more information about the Jubilee Cafe and other community projects, contact the Center for Community Outreach at 844-7037 or visit the center's office in room 428 in the Kansas Union.

In a controversial decision, the New York State Board of Education has voted to put less emphasis on teaching about the existence of Kansas, a move sharply criticized in the Midwest but applauded in civilized areas.
Bartkoski columnist opinion at kansan.com
What if New York said Kansas was a theory?
"This will not cause geography teachers to stop teaching about our 34th state," said Board of Education member John Sausage. "However, it will allow our children to examine the set up of our nation critically, rather than giving credence to every collection of drunken rednecks that claim they've been part of the United States since 1861."
Perspective
COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY
The new standards adopted by the board
Depending on the success of this change, New York teachers could one day teach that the United States is made up of the coastal or "civilized" states and a single super-state in the Midwest. Most likely this state will be called Illinois with a capital of Chicago to work with the limited knowledge East Coast students have of the Midwest.
Educators on the coasts and in Chicago applaud this move; however, some "educators" in the state formerly known as Kansas fear this will minimize Kansas' contribution to culture.
"Since most adult New Yorkers refuse to accept the existence of anything west of Ohio and east of (Las) Vegas, it only makes sense that we teach our children lessons consistent with the East Coast snobbery we practice in our everyday lives."
Sausage claimed this would be more natural teaching for the students.
"It's unfair for us to be marginalized like this," said Melissa Roberts, Kansas elementary teacher. "To ignore Kansas ignores the wonderful things Kansas has contributed to America, like...uh..and then there's...uh...Fine, we've done nothing. I never wanted to stay here anyway. I always dreamed of living in New York — the bright lights, the excitement — but John wanted to raise his kids in a nice quiet Midwestern town. Is it my fault that if anything exciting happens, it happens in civilization rather than in this God forsaken state?"
adopted by the court declare that teachers need not include Kansas in a comprehensive teaching of U.S. geography. New maps are being printed for New York schools that will either distribute Kansas' land to its neighboring states or denote it as a new Great Lake.
However, board officials already have warned teachers not to refer to the nonexistent lake as Lake Kansas. "To even use the word Kansas in the classroom will destroy what we have tried to build." Sausage said.
While some experts predicted a backlash in New York schools, many teachers have embraced this new standard. "I only regret such progressive thinking wasn't in place when I was in school," said Erin Dougal, social studies teacher at J.F.K. High School. "In my day, we had to memorize all this stuff about useless places like Wyoming or Kansas. Now the kids can just pretend these places don't exist, which in my mind is the attitude they should take toward those backward yokels."
is encouraging. The board is using this new standard as an experiment toward implementing the "Two Coast" theory of geography.
This is an attitude the Board of Education
Other coastal states may implement this new change based on the success of the New York program, which will put Kansas back into the realm of fiction where it belongs.

Economy isn't so rosy; media image is flawed
Everybody's getting rich, right? That's what Money magazine said a couple of months ago, and that seems to be the general picture that's been painted for us — a capitalist wonderland where everyone works at a great job, makes lots of money in the stock market and has unlimited potential. Of course, that's just a picture. Here are a couple of things that aren't showing up on our cultural drawing board.
And, despite the fact that unemployment has fallen, our poverty rate stubbornly remains at around 14 percent, which seems to indicate that while more people

First of all, not everyone is getting rich. Rather,
millions of people are still unempLOYed or under-
employed in menial, lowpaying, day-time, dead-end jobs. Despite the misleading term "full employment" being thrown around, unemployment still hovers around 3 or 4 percent which, although extremely low for the U.S., still means that more than 8 million people are out of work.
Second, this seems to be the best things are going to get. Even though "times are great," we've run into a strange state of affairs: the economy is doing too well, unemployment is too low and wages are too high. To offset rising labor costs, companies tend to raise prices, thus producing inflation. Inflation isn't on the rise yet, but it is the fear of the day.
are getting jobs, they are not the great jobs that are being talked about in the press. But everyone is getting rich and the economy's great, right?
So what's the solution? Raise interest rates, curb growth and throw several million people out of work to make the labor market more competitive so people will accept lower wages and fewer benefits.
So this is it. This is the best the system seems to
So go grab yourself a paper or a news magazine — preferably one that pertains to the topic at hand and when you see an article praising the national economy, read between the lines. Although I realize that times are better, that doesn't mean that we should be deceived into equating better with best.
None of this is any one person's fault, but rather it is a natural response to the demands of the system. From the mid-1800s to the Depression, the unstable nature of the capitalist economy itself would first generate great prosperity when it boomed and throw people into the streets when it busted, and then the cycle would repeat itself. Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan is smart enough to recognize this, and that's why he plays with the interest rates. It's the artificial stabilization of an unstable system.
be able to do, and yet we parade it around like it's the greatest triumph in human history. We live with an economic structure that even at its peak leaves a lot to be desired, and we market it across the globe like capitalist missionaries.
After all, getting shot in the foot may be better than getting shot in the face, but neither is good for you. To change anything for the better, you have to throw out the bad. To throw out the bad, you have to recognize that it's bad in first place. So why don't we stop being passive receivers of the cultural status quo and become active participants in finding solutions to some big problems?
I know that the national economy isn't something most people think about on a regular basis, but I think it serves as a good example of how we are so wrapped up in accepting what's fed to us that we can't see the flaws in the system.
Major is a Deerfield, N.H., senior in sociology and American studies.
We tell the unemployed to go out and get a job, but when people start to get jobs, we say that too many have jobs. We subordinate the needs of the wage worker to the needs of corporate America and the economy. And through it all everybody sits around eating the same cultural mush thinking. "Wow, times are great."
Editorial board should have read New Jersey case
In the Thursday, August 26 issue of the Kansan, the editorial board argued that the Supreme Court of New Jersey was wrong to force the Boy Scouts of America chapter there to abide by New Jersey's state non-discrimination law, which forbids discrimination based on sexual orientation.
Feedback
The opinion of the Kansan Editorial Board as written by Jennifer Roush stated
that since the Boy Scouts is a private organization, they shouldn't have to abide by state laws and can discriminate if they wish.
I would agree with your conclusion IF the Boy Scouts in New Jersey were not receiving state funds to operate; however they are receiving state (and municipal) funds in New Jersey, and that is why the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled the way they did. If they are receiving state funds, they must abide by state laws.
sion? I wonder how informed all of you are before you deliberate on such issues. That vital piece of information may have changed many of your minds.
Did anyone on the editorial board actually read the New Jersey Supreme Court deci-

Colored stones causing delays at Spooner Hall

MUSEUM OF
ARTS & CULTURE

The Museum of Anthropology may have to wait longer than originally expected to have its building and porch improvements completed.
Renovations on Spooner Hall began June 23 to repair deterioration on the front porch and entrance of the 105-year-old building.
Bud Stallworth, design and construction management assistant director, said the project was scheduled to be completed by Nov.20.
He said employees with Kissick Construction of Kansas City, Mo., found additional deterioration in the building's support columns, possibly pushing back the completion date to the end of the fall semester.
However, construction on the building has not kept the museum's doors closed. A marked entryway in front of Spooner Hall leads museum-goers inside.
Stallworth said the $330,000 project is part of the Crumbling Classrooms project, which funds the renovation of buildings across campus.
Roger Harmon, design and construction management project manager, said the renovations were needed to repair decay, which was a long-standing problem in the building's stones.
The problem was that the University of Kansas and construction company employees were unable to find more of the same red-orange colored sandstone to replace the decayed stones, which more than a century of weather left soft and potentially dangerous.
Harmon said employees looked for replacement stones in several states, including New Mexico and Arizona.
"The problem was having to restore it with something that looks close, but isn't," Harmon said.
With the lack of replacement stones, the construction company employees had to make the repairs with the original stones.
Harmon said construction workers took the front area
apart and installed reinforced concrete columns.
He said they had to patch and clean the original stones before putting them back onto the building. The employees also had to tint the patching material they used to match the color of the stones.
Stallworth said the renovation was the most extensive work that had been done to the building's exterior and that everyone involved with the project had been careful not to drastically change the way it looked.
"You've got to understand when the building was built," Stallworth said. "We don't want to take away the historical architectural appearance."

Delta Force remains active despite last spring's election
Coalition keeps working to protect students' interests
By Chris Borniger writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Members of Delta Force said that despite their coalition's disappointing results in last spring's Student Senate elections, they would remain active both within and outside of Student Senate.
In April, the YOU coalition won 39 seats, including the student body president and vice president positions. Delta Force won 23 seats in the election — only one more seat than it won in Spring 1997, the coalition's first campaign. That year, Delta Force sponsored candidates for only 33 out of more than 60 seats.
Luke Pfannenstiel, Delta Force president and College of Liberal Arts & Sciences senator, said last spring's loss was discouraging, but that the coalition would remain influential at the University of Kansas.
"With any election, there's some sort of emotion when you lose," he said. "It came as a blow to us, but we'll work through it."
DELTA FORCE
NOT FOR SALE!
that. We'll always try to bring our version of what Student Senate should be to reality."
Partha Mazumdar, graduate senator, has run and won with the coalition for the past three years. He said that although Delta Force no longer had the majority in Senate that it had last year, its members still would work to protect students' interests.
"We're like the super underdog. We've taken a few punches, but we're still around," he said. "You have to win the presidency to win a fundamental change in structure at the University. Our second goal is for the representatives we currently have to really represent you."
Mazumdar said he expected Delta Force to keep working on several campus issues, including the University's alcohol policy. He also said the coalition would expand its scope beyond the University on issues including citywide transportation, landlord/tenant relationships
and gay rights.
"Delta Force was never solely focused on Student Senate," Mazumdar said.
Chris Hess, social welfare senator, said he ran with Delta Force because he believed in the coalition's mission.
"I think Delta Force was in it for the right reasons," he said. "The people understood the power and limit of Student Senate better than the existing coalitions ever did. They wanted to do something, not be something."
Hess said even if Delta Force didn't sponsor candidates in the next election, it still could effect positive change.
"It wouldn't hurt to say we've done what we can in Senate," he said. "Student Senate isn't the only vehicle to accomplish goals. There are a million ways to do it. Delta Force has always been more than a coalition. It's always been about activism."
Nate Stange, Wichita junior,
said he didn't think Delta
Force's defeat would diminish
its ability to effect change
through Senate.
"I would expect to see them back again," he said. "I hope to see them still fighting the good fight."

Anne Kreimer, senior starting middle blocker, returned from a torn anterior cruciate ligament that threatened to keep her from playing in the season opener.
However, just a day before yesterday's win against Missouri-Kansas City at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center, Kreimer received clearance from her doctor to play in the game.
"I am so thankful for the opportunity to play," Kreimer said. "I was a little rusty, but I am very satisfied with my performance."
Out of 11 attacks, Kreiman turned six into kills. She started slow with only one attack in the first set but eased back into her game.

"She played excellent — considering." Coach Ray Bechard said. "She has been practicing, but not to the extent had she been released to play. This is the first time she has been able to play with this intensity. She is very important to us if we were going to make this happen."
It took four months of rehabilitation to get Kreimer back to this point after she tore her ACL when she landed on a teammate's foot during a spring practice drill.
She worked mainly on strength drills this summer to strengthen the quadriceps and hamstring on her left leg. She expects to spend another three weeks in rehab before she can play at her full ability.
Kremler played in every match last season, ranking third in hitting percentage and second in total blocks.
Her return is important to this team, which needs her experience at middle blocker.

She was among the Big 12 Conference leaders with 29 service aces during the season and worked her way into the team record books. She enters the season ranked sixth in career blocks per game with .79 and tenth in career block assists with 203.
Missouri-Kansas City put a scare into the Jayhawks volleyball team during last night's season opener at Horei5 Family Athletics Center, but it was only temporary.
The Jayhawks, who dropped the first game of the match 15-1, fully recovered to stomp the 'Roos in the next three games, 15-7, 15-6 and 15-1. With the win, Kansas opened the season 1-0 for the second straight year.
"She is very important to this team," Bechard said. "I am definitely glad to see her back."
(Missouri-Kansas City) looked like they were in midseason form, and we looked like we were still in last week," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "But it's a tribute to our team to come back and win."

Come into the match, the Jayhawks had an 18-1 all-time record against the 'Roos and were undefeated against them in Lawrence. So, at least on paper, the match was never supposed to be this close.
"Defensively, we didn't do a good job close to the net," Beard said. "It was a little quicker tempo than we're used to, but we managed to come back and make adjustments."
Most of the adjustments were made by middle blocker Amanda Reves. Reves, an All-Big 12 Conference performer last season, started her season on the fast track by recording 14 kills and 28 total attacks. Senior outside hitter Mary Beth Albrecht added nine kills, 10 digs and two service aces. Junior outside hitter Amy Myatt had 11 kills and 25 total attacks.
Junior outside hitter Nancy Bell rounded off the team statistics with nine kills and three service aces.
Not such a bad start to the season for the Jayhawks, who were playing their first game in the 1,300-seat Horeisi Center, the team's new $3.8 million home.
"This is our home court, and we're not going to let anybody come in here
and tell us differently." Albrecht said.
"But this is a great way to start out the season. Any win is a good win, but this one is especially nice."
Kansas hits the road today to participate in the West Virginia Tournament, where it will face Maryland-Baltimore County, Oakland University and West Virginia.

Six televised contests and 14 home games highlight the 1999-2000 Kansas women's basketball schedule, which was finalized yesterday afternoon.
Five conference games will be on television and the final game of the KU Credit Union Jayhawk Classic will air on the Jayhawk Television Network Dec. 4.
Fox Sports will show games against Texas Tech, in Lubbock, Texas; Iowa State, Texas and Kansas State, at Allen Fieldhouse, and the game against Nebraska in Lincoln, Neb., will appear on ESPN2.
Fans who are not content with watching the games on television have the opportunity to watch the team play 14 contests at the fieldhouse.
"The Big 12 Conference has worked hard to provide women's basketball with more television exposure." Coach Marian Washington said. "We are very pleased."
"It is so challenging in the Big 12 Conference that we need to have a balanced schedule with at least half of our games at home." Washington said. "In the past, we have had a lot of games on the road, so we are glad to get some more home games. We have a great following that is growing and improving every year because more people are hearing and learning about our team. This year, they have more opportunities to come and be a part of it."
Kansas opens its season with two exhibition games at the fieldhouse before playing its first regular season game on the road Nov. 20 against the University of Houston.

Player regains passion
See JAYHAWKS on page 3A
By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Cynthia Dahle is smiling again. It's been a while, but that grin is back on her face. What was once the eager face of a breakthrough freshman sensation turned into a look of frustration as her team struggled through three coaching changes.
"It it got really frustrating," Dahle said. "There were several times I thought about transferring. I thought about transferring after each of my coaches left, but I really liked going to school here; so I decided 'I stick it out, because I love playing soccer and I've always gotten to play."
"I'm pretty passionate about soccer, so it was hard when we were losing to keep that same passion going," she said. "I lost some of the passion for the game when it was so emotionally draining."
As a returning senior, however, Dahle said so far she has had a blast playing for a new coach, Mark Francis. She said he brought a new attitude to the team.
Although she was playing a lot, losing was not fun for Dahle.
"Coach demanded that the attitude was positive when he first came," Dahle said. "He said 'If you have negative things to say, keep them off the field.' I think that just carried into the fall, and the attitude has been awesome, which makes it so much fun to play."
22
Francis said that he was glad Dahle stayed at Kansas, and that she had been a valuable leader for the team, as well as a staunch defender for the Jayhawks.
"She leads more so by example than anything else," Francis said. "She works her tail off all the time, whether it's in the weight

Her work ethic caught the attention of her teammates as well. They voted her as a team captain, which she can now add to her resume of accolades as Kansas' all-time points and assists leader. She also ranks second in career goals scored.
room or on the field. She always gives 110 percent."
Her stats are the least of Dahle's concerns, however. As a team-oriented player, she has sacrificed her own stats for the benefit of the team. After leading the team in scoring as a freshman, Dahle moved from forward to outside midfielder. Last season she moved to defender, where she has continued to play this fall.
"I love to play, so wherever the coaches want me to play, I'm gonna play because I want to be
out on the field."
While she has received praise for her work on the field, Dahle has strived to be a winner off the field as well, excelling in the classroom, being involved in the community and concentrating on her spiritual life. She said she hoped to be an example for her teammates.
"I'd hope that my work ethic would rub off on them because I think that I work hard," Dahle said. "Also, I'm Christian, and I try to exemplify Christ through my work; and I hope that would rub off on them. Because they know me, they might want to know Jesus Christ too."
Her coach testified to this.
"I think she's a great role model, especially for the younger guys," Francis said. "She leads off the field, as far as how to carry yourself as a student-athlete. In the classroom she's a 4.0 student."
Dahle is willing to do anything to help her team achieve the goal it has strived for since the program's birth four years ago — a trip to the Big 12 Conference tournament.
Before that can happen, however, the Jayhawks must travel to Utah this weekend for games against Utah on Friday and Weber State on Sunday.
The weekend series will serve as a homecoming of sorts for Dahle, who has a number of relatives in Utah. She said she had aunts, uncles and cousins who lived there. In addition, she said her brother, who has not seen her play since high school, and his wife would be at her games.
"I'm really excited about it, because as a player I've gotten a lot better since I was in high school; so I think it'll be fun." Dahle said.

Homesick freshman who needs someone to hang out with?
Funny how video games and their controllers don't look so realistic anymore.
But this virtual reality is brainwashing people into thinking they're doing something productive with their lives.
The sports games are the worst. The mind-numbing games are supposed to offer a replica of competitive spirit and exercise. The new John Madden Football 2000 game proclaims itself the most realistic video game yet, with real players' names, real hits, real crowd noise, real stadium views and real good times.
How phony.
Oodles of kids — and even more sadly, college students and adults — are obsessed with living vicariously through others in this society that adores celebrity emulation.
When teenagers aren't sitting on their thumbs, they're playing video games with them.
No one wants to go outside to the sunshine for a game of football or soccer. Instead of sacrificing one's own legs, arms, heart, lungs and mind, our society is content with sparingly using its hands.
Too many malcontents would rather loaf on a Cheetos-stained couch and watch an animated athlete do all the work.
Instead of breaking a sweat, even while allowing your friend to catch a touchdown pass, hordes are content with breaking the controller after forgetting to press the A button, which would have made the necessary adjustments voluntarily and painlessly.
There is no such thing as a realistic video game because when the games do become close to truth, people are stunned at the results.
Case in point: The friends of the students killed or wounded in school shootings are shocked when the atrocities were committed. If playing a video game that mimics death, as some of the murderers and their friends in these situations were known to do, is so realistic, why is everyone so petrified?
It is petrifying because seeing blood on your 16-inch television set is drastically different from seeing death 16 inches away.
Same with sports. They offer only the slightest glimpse of actuality. Sometimes there is an adrenaline rush when big plays are made and games are won.
Video games, to an extent, work on hand-eye coordination. So do washing and combing your hair. Not exactly lung-enhancing exercises.
One time, Toronto Blue Jays manager Jim Fregosi used a video game as a strategic tool.
Fregosi's son switched around dad's actual lineup on his game, hit well with one of the substitutions and convinced dad to make the change. Dad did, and in the first game the player went 3-for-4.
Perhaps the Blue Jays took the tip that somebody — or something better than Fregosi is available. The coach might be fired after the season.
Before taking his son's tip, lamebrain Fregosi should have pressed pause.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6
Things should look better now, and you should feel a lot more in control. You're really not, but you probably feel like you are. Take care, especially if you get into a debate. The other side has some fresh ammunition. Find out what it is, if you can, before you get too far on a limb.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) --- Today is a 6
Today, you may have to be a little bold at work and push for something you want, even if it means disrupting the normal schedule. If you do that, somebody's bound to complain, but it might be the only way to get what you want.

Your focus is shifting. Instead of worrying about yourself, you're going to think more about your money. You want to make sure your money is safe, and it may take some shuffling around in order to do that. Conditions are pretty good for that right now, so study the situation.

Adidas loses lawsuit about logos against NCAA
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — A judge has dismissed a lawsuit by Adidas America Inc. to keep the NCAA from limiting the size of commercial logos on uniforms.
U. S. District Judge Thomas Van Bebber in March denied the company's motion for a preliminary injunction, and in an order filed last
week dismissed the lawsuit, the NCAA said Tuesday.
The Portland, Ore., subsidiary of the European apparel and footwear company filed suit in November in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan., saying the NCAA's bylaw limiting the size and number of logos on uniforms violated antitrust laws.
"This is an important decision for the NCAA and for intercollegiate athletics," NCAA president Cedric Dempsey said. "The judge agreed with us.
"Adidas has many other opportunities to get its message across to consumers other than on the backs of college players," Dempsey said.
Adidas was not pleased with the decision.
"We are disappointed in the ruling. We are going to ask the judge to reconsider it and if that is unsuccessful we will file an appeal," said Adidas representatives John Flood. "It
has been a very complicated lawsuit regarding trademarks and logos, and we feel the principle is worth pursuing."
The bylaw restricts member schools to selling space for only a single manufacturer's logo or mark on apparel and limits it to 2 1/4 square inches.
Adidas' logo consists of three parallel stripes down the arms and legs of apparel. The company said the distinctive mark cannot fit in the area set out by the NCAA rule.
But the court said Adidas, which advertises with NFL, NBA, WNBA and Major League Soccer and baseball teams, did not show it had been hurt by the NCAA rule.

BIG 12 CONFERENCE
Snyder not fan of Big 12 title match-up
By Michael T. Rigg sports at kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
For many Big 12 Conference teams, every season is a journey.
For the top-note teams, the journey is simple: run the table in the regular season, win the Big 12 championship game, and end up in New Orleans in January to play for the national championship.
However, if Kansas State coach Bill Snyder gets his way, the middle step would be eliminated, thus paving an easier road for Big 12 teams to win the national title.
Last season, the Wildcats were on their way to play in the Fiesta Bowl for the National Championship before Texas & AM defeated Kansas State 36-33 in the Big 12 title game. While the loss sent Florida instead of
the Wildcats to face Tennessee in the Fiesta Bowl, Kansas State ended up playing unranked Purdue in a non-Bowl Championship Series game at the Alamo Bowl.
BERTO RAYMOND
"Do I favor the Big 12 Championship game? I know that I'm supposed to say yes, but the answer is no," Snyder said. "I don't think it would be fair of me to say yes because of last year's experience."
Snyder: Not a fan of the Big 12 title game
However, Snyder is in the minority of Big 12 coaches who think along these lines. New Colorado coach Gary Barnett concedes that the system is flawed, but Barnett
also thinks that it is the best system for the conference. Also, Barnett said that the conference championship game is the closest thing that Division I college football will ever have to a national playoff.
"Everybody's clamoring for a playoff of more than one game, but I think this is the closest you can get to it," Barnett said. "You're going to have to play those games if you have a playoff anyways."
The financial impact of the climatic Big 12 game is also a factor.
Big 12 Commisioner Kevin Weiberg is happy with the system he has in place.
"I'm comfortable with our structure," Weiberg said.
Still, Weiberg and the rest of his conference staff are working on an agreement with several bowl games to make sure what happened last season to Kansas State won't happen again.
"We're continuing to work with our bowl partners to see if we can reach a mutual agreement on the selection process that would supply some certainty that the divisional champion will have a bowl opportunity representative of its regular-season accomplishments." Weiberg said. "We've made some progress on that issue, but I'm not here today to say we've reached an agreement. Clearly the atmosphere on this issue with our bowl partners has been heightened, and they are working with us to supply something there."
Still, Snyder is not amused by having his team come so close to a National Championship only to have it wiped out in the championship game.
"We got there last year and flat out lost the game," Snyder said. "The Big 12 is a great league, and you have to prenate every week."
Even for games Snyder doesn't think should exist.

K-State picks quarterback to fill Bishop's shoes
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN — With just nine days to go before Kansas State's home opener, Jonathan Beasley has
euged ahead of Adam Helm in the race to succeed Heisman runner-up Michael Bishop at quarterback.
"Beasley would
C
be the No. Iguy right now," offensive coordinator Ron Hudson said Tuesday. "Adam Helm would be behind him and then Jeremy Milne, with Ell Roberson fitting in there."
But that still could change before the Wildcats open at home against
Temple on Sept. 11, Hudson said.
"We have two weeks to go, and no way has anyone proved that they are the No.1 guy at quarterback." he said.
Both Beasley and Helm have had several years to learn K-State's offensive schemes. This is Beasley's fourth year under Snyder and Helm's fifth.
Beasley saw action in five games as Bishop's backup in 1997 before sitting out as a redshirt last season, while Helm did mop-up duty in nine games last year.
"I have confidence in Adam Helm and Beasley, in the fact that they know what's going on, so they can get us into the situations we need to be in," Hudson said.
He said Roberson, a freshman, still needs to become more familiar with the offense.
"If we're not getting what we want out of people, and if Ell continues to make improvements, then we will give him a shot," Hudson said.
One of K-State's projected offensive starters, Brandon Clark, could miss up to four weeks with a

And backup offensive lineman Ryan
Cummings could be out for the season with a knee injury.
"It really hurts. Brandon was doing very well," said wide receiver Aaron Lockett. "But, it gives other players the chance to step in and make an impact."
Cummings' injury hurts an offensive line that has only one player. Randall Cummins, who started every game a year ago.
Senior Damion McIntosh, who started on the defensive line last season, will see playing time on the offensive line as well this year.
"Losing Ryan hurts our depth," McIntosh said. "But things happen. We will have to play harder, and hopefully we will get Ryan back."

U. S. District Judge J. Curtis Joyner imposed a gag order on the lawyers involved in the negotiations, but the terms were confirmed by two officials in baseball who were not at the
talks and spoke on the condition they not be identified. Both officials were updated repeatedly from the talks throughout the day.
The union conceded that the 22 umpires, whose resignations were accepted by the American and National leagues last month, have umpired their final games.
In management's view, their departures are permanent. In the union's view, they'll only be gone until an arbitrator orders them rehired with back pay.
Normally, the arbitration process takes several months at a minimum, meaning there's no way the 22 will be back this year.
The umpires will, however, be paid through the rest of the season.
The postseason money was a key issue for the umpires. Under their labor agreement, each umpire gets an annual $20,000 postseason bonus, whether they work postseason games or not. Multiplied by 68 major league umpires, it would come to $1.36 million — money the union could divide as it pleased.
Umpires sued Monday, hoping to get an injunction that would keep the 22 at work. Curtis scheduled a hearing for Tuesday, but instead pushed the sides to work out a compromise. After seven hours of dis
cussions, the talks resumed yesterday,
As part of the deal, the umpires' union withdrew its unfair labor practice charge filed with the National Labor Relations Board.
The deal means nearly one-third of the 68 permanent major league umpires will be out of work as of 6 a.m. EDT today. Among them are the American League's Russia Garcia, one of the game's most respected umpires, and National League's crew chiefs Frank Pulli and Terry Tata.
Also gone would be the National League's Eric Gregg, known for his 300-pound-plus frame, and Joe West, disliked
by some players for his aggressive and sometimes combative attitude.
In the eyes of many, the umpires brought this upon themselves. On July 14, the union announced 57 umpires were quitting, effective Sept. 2. They said then they feared a lockout and wanted to spark an early start to negotiations for a labor contract to replace the one that expires Dec. 31.
But the plan collapsed when 27 umpires, mostly in the American League, either failed to resign or quickly rescinded their resignations. Baseball then hired 25 umpires from the minor leagues and accepted 22 resignations.

Lemieux seals Penguins deal
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Mario Lemieux is making a comeback and bringing the Pittsburgh Penguins with him.
Lemieux's takeover of the bankrupt Penguins was approved yesterday by the NHL's board of governors, climaxing a long struggle by the former hockey great and his associates to keep the team in Pittsburgh.
"There have been a few difficult moments and a lot of frustration, but I was always optimistic we would get it done," Lemieux said.
Only court approval remained to finalize the deal, and that's expected to be taken care of by a bankruptcy judge during a closing hearing tomorrow in Pittsburgh.
"I'm very excited about the opportunity to come back," said Lemieux, a Hall of Famer who led the Penguins to Stanley Cups in 1991 and 1992 before retiring after the 1997 season. "This is a dream come true, after 10 months working on the deal. I had no idea it would be this difficult. I'm glad we were finally able to put this together."
Lemieux
said he and
his group of
investors,
numbering
more than a
dozen, have
put together
NHL
$52 million so far and hope to raise more money. He said the market value of the Penguins is currently $85 million, or the price of an expansion team.
Lemieux has the largest stake in the team, most of it coming from the $25 million in deferred salary the Penguins owed him.
Until Lemieux came into the picture, there was still some doubt whether the Penguins
would remain in Pittsburgh, or even in the NHL. The team went into bankruptcy last season and was only able to meet its payroll with the help of a bank loan.
With approval of Lemieux's takeover, the Penguins made it just under the wire. They're due to open training camp on Saturday and will play their first exhibition game on Sept. 11 against the New York Islanders.
It has been a long road for Lemieux in his attempt to buy the team
A. D.
The arena la se accounted for much of the delay in Lemieux's takeover. Under the lease, SMG will continue to control the Civic Arena until 2004, when it will
Lemieux: Excited to buy his former team
revert to Lemieux, with SMG as the arena manager.
The Penguins blamed the high cost of their lease with SMG to play at the Civic Arena for helping push the franchise into bankruptcy.
"It was very important for me to keep the Penguins in Pittsburgh," Lemieux said. "That's why I decided to put the group together. I have spent more than 15 years of my life in Pittsburgh, and I have a good relationship with the fans."
Lemieux is the first retired player to take over ownership in one of the four major North American pro sports leagues.
Liberty hopes to avenge loss in 1997 finals
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Tamika Whitmore and Crystal Robinson weren't in the league when the New York Liberty played in the inaugural 1997 WNBA championship against the Houston Comets.
They didn't experience the disappointment of a 14 point loss when the Comets held New York to 38 percent shooting.
Instead, the rookies are revealing in better moments, like the 69-54 victory against the Charlotte Sting on Monday that sent the Liberty to the WBA Finals against the Comets for the second time in three seasons.
LIBERTY
The best-of-3 series begins tonight at Madison Square Garden.
Whitmore, a 6-foot-2 center who led the nation in scoring her senior year at Memphis, scored 10 points off the bench against the Sting.
"For me, as a rookie, it feels great," Whitmore said. "Not many rookies get this opportunity in their first year in the league. It just shows how much charisma and talent we have on this New York team."
Robinson is a rookie only in the sense that she's a newcomer to the league. The 5-foot-10 forward led the now-defunct ABL in 3-point shooting (.466) and made 4-of-5 from behind the arc to finish with 18 points against the Sting.
"We fought hard this season and had a lot of ups and downs," Robinson said. "A lot of people doubted us. We didn't have any superstars, but we are a good team."
When Rebecca Lobo went down with a season-ending knee injury 42 seconds into the season opener, the Liberty's future looked bleak. But Sue Wicks and Whitmore went to work on the boards and Robinson, shot 437 from behind the arc.
"I can't say enough about Crystal Robinson." New York coach Richie Adubato said. "They double-team her and triple-team her and (Charlotte) even threw a little diamond-and-one on her. But she continues to show what a marvelous shooter she is."
Strawberry again returns to NY
The Associated Press
NEW YORK - In what has become almost an annual ritual for the New York Yankees, Darryl Strawberry made his long-awaited return to the team yesterday.
Strawberry's teammates greeted the player who helped them win two World Series championships with hugs and laughter as he returned to play at Yankee Stadium for the first time since last Sept. 27.
"This is the first time in my career that I've been a September callup," said Strawberry, who was brought up from Triple-A Columbus along with infielder Clay Bellinger and right-hander Dan Nauty on the day rosters expand.
"It feels really good to be back and see the guys and be part of what this is all about," he said.
It has been a long 11 months for Strawberry, who missed last year's
"When I look in the mirror, I look at the enemy," Strawberry said. "There is no one to blame for this but myself."
playoffs after learning he had colon cancer and whose return to the majors this year was delayed by a suspension for his no-contest plea to cocaine possession.
"He's at a point in his life where he can't allow himself to be in a situation where anything like this can happen again," said Chili Davis, a childhood friend of Strawberry from Los Angeles. "He has to see problems early and say it's not going to happen and walk away. That's the point he's at in his life."
That is a refrain similar to one heard after previous bouts with drugs and alcohol during his stormy career. And there's no telling whether this time will be different.
Strawberry's teammates, who have stood behind him since his arrest on
"You can't take one number of chances and have it apply to everyone," said David Cone, who played with Strawberry for four season with the New York Mets.
cocaine and solicitation charges on April 14, welcomed him back once again after his latest trouble.
The immediate question for manager Joe Torre is where will Strawberry play and how many at-bats will he get. Strawberry was not in the lineup for last night's game against Oakland but is expected to start this afternoon at designated hitter to give Davis a day off.
"He's a very unique case. People will say he's had his chances. But I've seen Darryl do a lot of good with kids in the several years that he's been sober. You can argue both sides."
"It's not a big deal if I play or not.",
Strawberry said. "My role will be what Mr. Torre wants it to be. I'm just glad to have a chance."

Memorial Stadium used as housing after WWII
Stadium's temporary apartments housed 64 students in 1940.
THE CITY OF JAMAICA
By Shawn Linenberger sports@kansas.com Kansan sportswriter
Oread Hall opened in November 1946. The temporary dorm had 162 single rooms. It was torn down in the 1970s to make room for Wescoe Hall. Contributed photo
Jim Foulks lived in a modest apartment on the University of Kansas campus. Four occupants shared two bedrooms, a living room and a bathroom.
However, his apartment complex was unique. For six Saturdays each fall, Foulks had 40,000 neighbors. His home was Memorial Stadium.
Foulks, a member of the Kansas 1947 Orange Bowl team, lived in what was called McCook Hall, apartments far removed from where wealthy boosters will be sipping beverages in luxury boxes this fall.
"During the winter, the track team practiced underneath the stadium on a dirt track behind our apartments," Foulks said. "You had to make sure they weren't running because they'd run you over if you weren't careful."
The front of McCook was flush with the entrances underneath the stadium's east side.
Foulks, a war veteran, said he and other football players and male students desperately needed a place to live. World War II ended in 1945, and of the 9,100 students at the University in 1946, 5,600 were male veterans. The enrollment increase sent the department of student housing scrambling to find places for students to live. Space under Memorial Stadium was ideal because heat and lighting already were installed in the locker rooms.
Barracks were constructed on campus and the old Robinson Gymnasium temporarily was home to students. Smith Hall also served as student housing. Lawrence residents were even encouraged to rent out rooms to students.
Many athletes such as Foulks who were temporarily living in the former Robinson Gym reluctantly gave up their quarters because the gym was close to classes, and they didn't have to climb the hill from the stadium. Foulks said the only drawback of living in McCook was walking up the hill in the rain or snow.
"The living conditions were adequate," Foulks said. "Each apartment had two bedrooms with two bunks in each. There was a study room in between with a table and desks, and a bathroom. There were also cement floors."
The apartments cost nearly $54,000 to build and housed 64 students after completion in the fall of 1946.
Dick Gilman, another war veteran on the football team, enjoyed his time at McCook. "The conditions were excellent," Gilman said. "It was new and convenient and really nice people lived down there."
Foulks agreed. "I really liked it; it was a compatible group." he added
Not everyone had the same outlook about McCook.
"It was cold and muddy," Dallas Pittering said. "I got out of there as soon as I could."
Pittinger, a football student manager from 1947 to 1948, moved to an apartment after two weeks in McCook.
Other football players lived in the Sunnyside Apartments, located on Sunnyside Avenue where Summerfield Hall now stands. It housed mostly married couples, including Don Fambrough, former Jayhawk coach.
"Most of us were four or five years older than the normal freshman because we were coming back from the war." Fambrough said about the football team. "Many of us were married, so we had a place to live at Sunnyside, but other players had to find a place to live. It was a tough situation."
Fambrough said players who weren't married were encouraged to join fraternities so that they had a place to live and could earn money working for the fraternity or sororities.
While some of today's football players eat in the Burge Union, Foulks and his teammates ate at the training table in the Kansas Union during the week and downtown on weekends.
"Businesses in Lawrence would bring food around to the dorms some evenings." Gilman said.
McCook residents shared two recreation rooms equipped with pingpong tables. The residents also had track meets amongst themselves in the evenings.
as housing after WWII
McCook got its name because Memorial Stadium was built on land originally donated by Col. James J. McCook, a prominent New York lawyer. McCook Field was home of Kansas football from 1892 until 1921 when Memorial Stadium replaced it.
Although McCook Hall's name moved to a building on Maine Street in 1953, the stadium structure stayed. The building of residence halls in the late 1950's meant the end of the post-war barracks and left the stadium apartments as housing for visiting groups.
The vacated apartments were then used as storage for equipment, publications, records and other materials until renovation last year gutted the stadium.

University waits to react to ACLU seal concerns
By Clay McCuistion writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The University general counsel declined to comment yesterday about an investigation into the appropriateness of the official University of Kansas seal.
The KU chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union decided Wednesday to send a letter to the administration, asking for an explanation of the seal's depiction of Moses kneeling before the burning bush. The seal also contains a Bible verse in Latin from Exodus.
ACLU members are concerned that the religious references on the seal violate the separation of church and state.
The sea view of the separat ion is
Reaction on campus yesterday was mixed.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway's
office referred questions about the group's action to Victoria Thomas, University general counsel. /
Thomas said her office and the administration wouldn't comment until they received the letter from KU ACLU.
SICILIUM UNIVERSITATIS KANSENISIS
INDIAN AMERICA UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRAE
EUROPE
VEGETAL ESTABLISHED 1865
"Our office doesn't get involved until our client asks for advice," she said. "I imagine ultimately I'll hear about it."
Thomas said she couldn't remember anyone questioning the seal during her 23 years at the University of Kansas.
According to information from University archives, in 1866 the Board of Regents authorized then-Chancellor R.W. Oliver to create a University seal. The seal was first used on a diploma in 1877 and was first featured in a catalog of classes in 1899.
The archives contain four versions of the seal with minor differences. Before 1955, the figure of Moses was bald. The current variation, in which the Biblical leader's head is covered, has been used since then.
What Oliver, a minister, meant to convey by the seal is still unknown. In the most frequently stated interpretation, the burning bush implies abundant knowledge, while the figure of Moses represents a scholar kneeling in awe.
Tim Miller, professor and chairman of the religious studies department, said he didn't think the seal was explicitly religious.
It a literary reference that is Biblical, but it's not religious in intent," he said. "I think that's the way it's been taken by most people."
Miller, who also is a member of the ACLU, said he thought the seal was general enough to be inoffensive.
"If you had a motto saying 'Jesus is your only hope,' there would be more of a problem with it," he said. "I don't see it as more of a problem than having 'In God we trust' on our money."
Dede Seibel, student body vice president, said she appreciated that the ACLU raised the issue.
"I would be interested to see how the University would respond," she said.
Seibel said she was unsure that the 133-year-old seal should be tampered with, though.
"It's such a tradition for the University, and it's so rich with history that I don't know if it should be changed," she said.

HELP
Shops scramble for workers as students return
By Chris Borniger writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
With an influx of thousands of students beginning the fall semester at the University of Kansas, Lawrence businesses are adjusting to increasing business amid a shortage of workers.
Sales at Jimmy John's Gourmet Sub Shop, 1447 W.23rd St., doubled when students moved back to Lawrence, said Kamal Gandhi, the shop's owner. He said during the middle of August, all three phone lines at the shop were usually busy.
Despite the increased sales, Gandhi said that he had trouble finding the right workers and that the lack of help could hurt his business.
"This town is growing, and there are a bunch of other franchisees in the market now, so we have to be competitive," he said. "And when we're running low on labor, we don't look like we're professionally run."
Evan Jackman, general manager of Einstein Brothers Bagels, 1026 Massachusetts St., said sales had increased 12 percent in the past month. He said that workers were hardest to come by during the beginning of September and end of May. To prepare for this semester, his store's corporate managers started printing signs for employment a month in advance.
Jackman said the store's patrons had been patient despite its lack of help.
"People understand in Lawrence that stores go through this," Jackman said. "I don't think it has a serious detrimental effect."
Jackman also said he preferred student workers.
"Students are the best," he said. "They're awesome. They're smart, and they work hard to balance work and class."
Gretchen DiGiovanni, manager of Chili's Bar & Grill, 2319 Iowa St., said she routinely had to train new workers this time of year to replace graduated seniors. That training, she said, wasn't necessarily a hassle.
"If anything, that helps," she said. "Teaching people how to do their jobs help you learn your job a lot better too."
Emily Hulce, Derby senior, began working at Mass. Street Deli, 941 Massachusetts St., last week. She said she had no trouble finding a job.
"I had the job within about 10 minutes," she said. "I had experience, so I started the next day."
Hulce said working in a restaurant was ideal.
“It's exactly what I was looking for,” she said. “I get to bring my tips home every night.”
Two years ago, Brian Corry, St. Louis senior, found a job with similar ease at Einstein Brothers — it was the first job for which he applied in Lawrence. Now, he's a shift supervisor at the store.
Balancing work and classes wasn't a problem, he said.
"It's hard at first, but you get used to it," he said. "It's really just a matter of scheduling everything right."
Nicole Clark, Elbing sophomore, said that she had offers for off-campus jobs but that she was looking for a job on campus. "It's just a lot closer and more flexible," she said. "I'd rather work with students all the time."

English group to parody Shakespeare and others
"Pariodes Lost" will take the stage this Labor Day in Swarthout Recital Hall in English Alternative Theater's annual staged reading.
The play, a group of six parodies by American playwrights Eric Bogosian, Christopher Durang and Wendy Wasserstein, spoofs authors from William Shakespeare to Euripides, with an homage to detective duo The Hardy Boys.
"In the true spirit of fun and play, we try to feature as many faculty members from the English Department as possible alongside KU students and townpeople," said Paul Stephen Lim, associate professor of English and director of the staged reading.
Lim said that this year's Labor Day per formance would be the seventh in the 10 years of EAT. The group schedules the event early in the year to include as many faculty members as possible.
"Parodies Lost" will be a staged reading, meaning the actors will be reading from scripts onstage. The actors' movements are planned out, and there will be a few props and costumes. But each parody only will have had four rehearsals before the Sept. 6 performance. Lim said.
Ryan Larkin, Lyndon senior, will act in a parody of Tennessee Williams' "The Glass Menagerie" Monday night. He said that the lines were funny but that the play might possibly offend Williams' fans.
"I expect to see a whole room of smiling faces," Larkin said, "and maybe one angry person in the back."
"Parodies Lost" will be at 8 p.m. Labor Day at Swarthout Recital Hall in Murphy Hall. The event is free.

College Republicans spu support for Brown Bear
The University of Kansas College Republicans are asking students to show support for the Brown Bear Brewing Co., 729 Massachusetts St., in its quest to obtain a new liquor license from the City of Lawrence.
The group will have a table from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today at Wescoe Beach to gather signatures for a petition to present to the Lawrence City Commission at Tuesday night's meeting. The table also was at Wescoe Beach yesterday.
Timothy Burger, Lenexa senior and the group's vice chairman, said the group gathered about 160 signatures. He said College Republicans decided Sunday to take action against what it saw as bad government.
"It's a case of government asserting itself where it's not necessary." Burger said. "The Brown Bear is a
good business and a place that students like."
— Derek Prater
The Brown Bear was forced to close Aug. 21 when city officials would not renew its liquor license. Under a zoning regulation, drinking establishments opened downtown after 1994 are required to make 55 percent of their revenue from food sales. An audit supplied by the Brown Bear for the city revealed that the brewery made only 50 percent of its profits from food sales.
The Brown Bear reopened Aug. 27 to serve food but no alcohol. The owners formed a new corporation and are in the process of applying for a new liquor license.
lowa man threatens CLAS,requests $10 million check

— Derek Prater
Sonia Farmer, a secretary at the college, opened the seven-page letter. After reading it, Farmer gave the letter to Sally Frost Mason, dean of the college. Frost Mason contacted the University of Kansas Public Safety Office Wednesday.
Mason said that Riordan did not appear in the college's computer system as a student and that she did not want to press charges now.
The letter was apparently from a man named Thomas Riordon, of Carroll, Iowa, who wrote that he was upset with the University and that he believed he deserved a $10 million check from the University.
Lt. Schulyer Bailey said that the letter appeared to be the ramblings of an upset man and that the Public Safety Office would continue to investigate. He said the office had not yet determined why Riordan believed he deserved money from the University.

Police respond to violence at Lawrence High School
LAWRENCE
Two different episodes of violence this week brought area police to Lawrence High School, 1901 Louisiana St., Lawrence police said.
On Aug. 25, Lawrence police responded to a call regarding a criminal threat. An 18-year-old student started an argument with a coach in gym class. He said that no one paid attention to him and if he strapped dynamite to his body people would pay attention. The student was suspended.
Police returned to the school Tuesday, when an expelled student threatened to "kill off" an assistant principal and the police officer that responded to the call. The 18-year-old remains in custody at the Douglas County Jail on two charges of criminal threats, one of which is on a law enforcement officer.
Principal Dick Patterson said he did not see a need to change the school's security policy.
"These things do take place in our schools, and we take necessary and appropriate action," he said.

Scholars present papers at McNair symposium
While many students relaxed this summer, Ericka Morris spent her days researching the experiences of African-American slave women.
By Irina Rodriguez Special to the Kansan
Morris, Philadelphia senior, and 18 other students marked the completion of their two-month McNair Scholars Program summer research internships yesterday in the Kansas Union by presenting papers to students and faculty at the program's annual symposium and banquet.
The scholars, who researched full time this summer under the tutelage of faculty members, received three hours of academic credit and $2.400 stipends.
"It was hard work," Morris said. "My first draft was not acceptable. It taught me a lot about discipline and procrastination and gave me respect for graduate school."
Tim Kochanski, Lawrence junior, went to Mexico last spring break to experience firsthand the living conditions of factory workers in Maquiladora for his research.

Scholars' papers are often presented at professional conferences and are occasionally published.
Vickie Kennedy, KU graduate, has presented a paper about left-handedness at several conferences, including yesterday's symposium. She said it was exhilarating to see professors at different universities take interest in her research.
"Here a lot of college students looked at me like I was crazy, because I was researching such an exceptional subject in the society, based on right-handedness," said Kennedy, who enrolled in a graduate program in sociology this semester. "McNair played a very important role in pointing me to the direction I needed to excel."
The McNair Scholars Program at the University, which began in 1992, provides academic and social support to undergraduate students from low-income families and to groups traditionally underrepresented in graduate education.

Live the best life possible, poet says
By Lesley Simmons writer@kansan.com Kansan stoff writer
"The world can be a better place."
Nikki Giovanni returned to this theme again and again in her speech and readings last night at the Lied Center.
In an upbeat, positive and encouraging speech, the best-selling poet, author and essayist said that everyone had a responsibility to live the best life possible.
"Have you tried to do something besides trying to be safe?" she said. "All that being safe makes you is old and tired."
More than 600 students, professors and community members listened to Giovanni's poems, stories and advice. After a half-hour speech, Giovanni read four of her poems, interweaving stories in between.
Jermee Jones, Topeka junior, said Giovanni was an excellent speaker.
"She said many positive things that have potential to influence students in a positive way," he said.
Yasmeen Coleman, Kansas City, Kan., senior and vice president of programs and events for the University of Kansas chapter of the National Council of Negro Women, which sponsored the speech, said she was glad that Giovanni ended the program with Coleman's favorite poem, "Ego Tripping".
Although Giovanni said she was not giving an ecology lecture, she talked about her love of nature and her frustration with people who build over patches of green.
She said a man who hit animals on the road with his car could just as easily beat his girlfriend or spouse.
"If he hits a possum, he'll hit you," Giovani said. "You have to pay attention to
things like these because they tell you something."
She said that because humans did things such as destroy nature and run over animals, they are not good caretakers of the Earth.
She also said she wanted to go to the moon when it was a poet's turn to fly in space.
"I don't want Mary (Angelou) to go." Glovanni said. "I want to go. I want to look back at the blue planet the way we look at the red planet."
She said that at Virginia Tech, where she is a professor of English, there were not enough African-American students. She said she was proud to be helping raise money for a scholarship for African-American women in Kansas. The proceeds of the speech benefit the council's "KI'S Women of Distinction" scholarship.
She said she disagreed with people who thought affirmative action gave minorities an unfair advantage.
"White students think Black students have it easy," Giovanni said. "But where are they?"
Giovani made it a point to be equally demanding of people of all races, but she said she was a fan of African-American women.
In the 20-minute question-and-answer period following her speech and poetry reading, a member of the audience asked Giovanni how she balanced her art and personal life.
"If the person you're with doesn't understand, you've go to move on," she said. "Ninety percent of our dreams won't come true, but that's not the point. The point is to have dreams and to pursue them," she said.

Officials ready for Labor Day traffic, crime
By Katie Hollar writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Area law enforcement officials won't be taking Labor Day weekend off.
Instead, the Kansas Highway Patrol, Lawrence Police Department and Douglas County Sheriff's Office will be out in full force, officials said.
Cackler said patrolmen would cruise the highway throughout the weekend.
All available officers have been scheduled to work for the Highway Patrol, said Lt. Don Cackler.
"We want to make sure we're seen and help motorists that are broken down," he said.
Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence police said the department would be supplementing its staff with six extra officers to deal with the three-day weekend's revelry.
"We always put more people on for long holiday weekends and home football games," Wheeler said.
The Sheriff's Office will be operating with its normal weekend staff and a few additional officers to patrol the boating crowds at Clinton and Lone Star lakes, said Lt. Don Crowe.
Wheeler said that there was a regular crime pattern for Labor Day weekend: an increase in alcohol-related crime and domestic violence and a proliferation of traffic accidents.
"There are just more people out on the road, more visitors that don't know the area." he said.
Crowe said the Sheriff's Office had similar expectations.
"Our main concern is traffic violations and driving under the influence," he said. "People just drink too much. That's our main problem on long weekends."
However, one area of Lawrence is predicted to remain calm — the KU campus.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said that the department did not foresee any problems. He said records did not show any substantial amount of crime on Labor Day weekend. Bailey attributed this to an absence of students in the area.
Salvador Sandate, Newton senior, isn't too concerned about this weekend's enhanced law enforcement.
"With a three-day weekend, a lot of people do leave," he said.
"It shouldn't affect me," he said. "I'm leaving town."

More scholarship hall parking, but price higher
By Erinn R. Barcomb Special to the Kansan
Special to the Kansan
The University of Kansas Parking Department has given the campus' nine scholarship halls additional parking — with a price.
Parallel spaces were added to Alumni Place just east of the Sprague Apartments for seven or eight cars, and Miller and Watkins scholarship halls received 12 spaces in lot 15 next to Blake Hall.
Laurie Evanhoe, Derby senior, and Bethany Ostrye, Derby junior, said they were concerned about the lack of parking near the two halls. The two put up an inventory sheet for Miller residents to record the number of empty spaces in the blue lot near Blake every day.
After turning in the results, the parking department did the math and found the case added up.
"Until something else changed, we could offer that," said Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking.
The halls reserved some spaces for residents with particular jobs in the hall and had a lottery to distribute the rest. Olga Ramm, Manhattan junior, won a space in the lot, although she is not yet sure if she wants to pay $75 beyond the student permit price.
The permits cost $150 — the same amount charged for all blue lots — and allow residents to park in the Blake or Alumni Place lots.
The parallel spaces added on Alumni Place were not intended to be spaces at all. Although the parking department said the sign for lot 100 along Alumni Place was not new, it caused confusion.
"I think that's a ridiculous price," she said. "I'm still deciding. I might give it to someone else."
"I think that's a ridiculous price.I'm still deciding.I might give it to someone else."
Manhattan junior who was one of a few students to win a raffle to buy a permit for the PhD program.
the Blake and Alumni Place parking lots
Erick Anderson, Hutchinson freshman, was given a warning for parking there because the parking department hadn't painted lines yet.
"It itdn't cost me anything," he said. "They said I had parked in the road even though there's a sign that says 'Alumni Place parking.'"
Tickets given in those spaces are being repealed.
"Once it starts, it is so hard to get it stopped," she said. "I think people just get desperate."
Hultine cited a similar case when many students began parking in undesignated areas.
The parking department decided to add the spaces because Alumni Place was not any narrower than Louisiana Street, where scholarship hall parking was added this summer. Facilities operations painted in the lines early last week.
However, Hultine said that she wished the Department of Student Housing would notify residents of the parking situation before they move on campus.
She said that if students knew in advance about the parking problems, they would know not to bring a car.

Buying out Royals not solution to bigger problem in baseball
Latest proposal ignores tradition, importance of small markets
For more than 30 years, the Kansas City Royals have been a great addition to our area. To be sure, the team has had its share of ups and downs, and lately
there have been a lot more downs. But, the Royals' hard times shouldn't be allowed to end Major League Baseball in Kansas City
A proposal floating around Major League Baseball threatens to do just that.
The big-money team owners have battled the smaller market teams for years, and no one has come up with an easy solution to solve the financial disparity that runs rampant in Major League Baseball. The current idea being toyed with is the brainchild of Jerry McMorris, owner of the large-market Colorado Rockies. McMorris thinks the solution is to buy out and then dissolve two to four franchises. One possible candidate is the Kansas City Royals.
For the owners, this may seem to be a simple solution to a difficult problem.
The Royals are a tourist attraction. They are the only American League team in the area, drawing visitors from Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska, among others. A game is a great way for a family to spend a day, and attendance was on an upswing this year, despite a losing season.
Throw a little money at the problem, and it might go away. But, for the towns that could lose their teams, it is not so simple. A buyout and dissolution of its franchise would be a bitter pill for Kansas City to swallow.
Second, the Royals, despite their recent string of disappointing seasons, are a still large part of the culture of Kansas City. The recent induction of George Brett into the Hall of Fame provided evidence of just how many people in the city still care about baseball.
It may be hard for owners like McMorris to see, but baseball shouldn't be only about making money. It's hard to put a price on a
child's first trip to a major league ballpark, and owners need to recognize that. It's healthy for the game.
And, the prestige and publicity that comes along with being a major league city should not be underestimated for Kansas City.
The buyout and dissolution plan is short-sighted. The Royals have good young players, and, once the team's ownership difficulties are resolved, it is quite possible that the team will return to its former glory.
Fans of the Royals need to make sure to
Consider that if Major League Baseball had this problem 10 years ago, two prime buyout targets could have been the Cleveland Indians and the Atlanta Braves. Both teams were drawing paltry crowds and playing losing baseball. But both made serious management changes and are now two of the most successful franchises in the game.
make their voices heard before it's too late. There is no simple solution to the problems that exist in Major League Baseball. But, certainly, the best solution is not to strip cities of their teams. Instead, owners need to look past the bottom line and possibly toward a new generation of young fans that might never get to see a major league game. That in itself would provide healthy returns for baseball.

Abortion needs debate not a shouting match
Kansas is again in the spotlight of the debate about abortion rights, and the controversy illustrates all too well the complexity and divisiveness of the issue.
The case at hand involves a 14-year-old girl from Arizona with a troubled past. A chronic runaway, she has been a ward of the state since she was 5. Twenty-four weeks ago, she became pregnant. She asked the state for an abortion, telling a county court that the pregnancy was the result of rape and she had since abused drugs heavily.
Soon after her request was granted, she ran away again, and was not found until recently. Now to end the pregnancy she must undergo a late-term abortion, a procedure performed in only two states: California and Kansas. In a closed hearing last week, the court granted her permission to travel out-of-state and receive the abortion, which would be paid for with federal funds.
Until then, the rulings related to the case were kept secret because the girl was a juvenile. But news of last week's decision was leaked to attorney John Jakubczyk, who represents anti-abortion interests in Arizona including Arizona Right to Life, the state's largest anti-abortion lobby. The news quickly spread. Laura Schlessinger, a syndicated radio personality who opposes abortion, described the case on air and encouraged listeners to voice their opposition, resulting in more than 900 calls to the Arizona governor's office. Anti-abortion groups came out to counter their protests. The girl's predicament became an open door to a shooting match about the larger question of abortion rights.

McMaster

The case was turned to the Arizona Supreme Court, which on Sunday voted 3-2 to allow the girl to travel to Wichita to receive an abortion.
There is little reason to doubt that this decision will arouse the same charged debate in Kansas as it has in Arizona. There also is little reason to believe that any of the clash will help resolve the abortion issue. Most likely, there will be a rehash of former abortion-rights battles: groups on both sides will line up and shout
their familiar arguments to the media. Meanwhile, the public will sigh at revisiting a painful issue, tune out the discussion and individuals will fail to reconsider their abortion views in light of this special case. Close-mindedness will again prevail, and we will overlook the extraordinary nature of the young girl's circumstances, which so painfully capture the difficulty of defending a position either for or against abortion.
Finding ethical premises we can agree upon is easy. Who could disagree with the statement that any life, and most especially human life, is deserving of special protection? But on the other hand, we can just as easily say that an individual should make private decisions about his or her own health without intrusion of the state. In the debate on abortion we discover that these premises, both of which are fundamental to our values as a nation and a society, are contradictory.
Where do we draw the line on what kind of life we are compelled to protect? Many who oppose abortion might make allowances in situations such as this in which rapes has occurred and the mother's drug use threatens the health of the unborn baby. On the other hand, even those who support reproductive rights might question whether a traumatized 14-year-old is ready to make the decision to abort or whether federal funding should be used for the procedure
The lesson to be learned is this: the simple premises presented by groups in the abortion debate will do little to resolve the issue. Only through open-minded discussion, in which individuals set aside their polarized stances and consider the intricacies of the decision to abort, may we come to some moral consensus. We each have a responsibility to deliberate carefully on this issue, taking time to listen rather than shout.
Think hard about the plight of that young girl and the question of what the state of Arizona should do about it. Whether you are an abortion activist or opponent, see if you can understand the opposing perspective. If you feel less secure about your views on abortion, we are one step closer toward healing the rift that abortion has driven through our society.

Kansas should not be mecca for late-term abortions
Kansas is staging a summer sequel. But, this sequel is not for entertainment. It is an epic tragedy with a mix of players that range from powerful state officials to the weakest of human beings.
Part I of this drama took place in July of 1998, when a then 12-year-old Michigan girl traveled to Wichita to have an abortion. She was in the 29th week of pregnancy, or about 7 months along. Her own state would not allow such a late-term abortion, and most other states don't allow them or don't have a single doctor willing to perform them.
But Kansas does have a willing doctor. George Tiller performed
the late-term abortion, and the Michigan girl returned home un-pregnant.
The case seemed so dramatic and the circumstances so unusual that it couldn't possibly confront us again.

But it appears opinion@kansan.com that the sequel unfolded this week
In what is becoming an annual tradition, another young girl is thought to be seeking a late term abortion in Kansas.
Of course, she could not receive an abortion in Arizona at such a late stage, and it has taken an act of the Arizona Supreme Court to allow her to come to the heartland for one.
This time, the girl is a 14-year-old Arizonaan, reportedly 24 weeks, or 6 months, pregnant.
pointment in her Supreme Court's 3-2 decision. Her representative said a court order prevents the governor from commenting further on the case.
So what's going on in Kansas? The 1998 Legislature banned late-term abortions and partial-birth abortions. Gov. Bill Graves signed the bill into law. It would seem risky for people from around the country to continue to travel here for these very abortions at Tiller's clinic.
Arizona Gov. Jane Hull, a former Kansan and Jayhawk, tried to block the trip and expressed disap-
But, the devil is in the details.
Last year's abortion legislation apparently includes exceptions and loopholes for these late-term abortions — even on unborn children who could live outside of the womb. The problem is that nobody seems to know for sure.
Furthermore, Tiller modified his late-term abortion procedure, purportedly to meet the requirements of Kansas law. His spokeswoman described the abortion last year: "We are providing full cranial anesthesia, which causes fetal death, and we are in fact aspirating a portion of the cranial contents in order to comply with Kansas law."
Sadly, 58 of these partial-birth abortions were performed in Kansas in just the last six months of 1998, despite the law and national polls showing that a large majority of Americans think it should not be allowed. One legislator went so far as to dub Tiller the Dr. Kervorkian of abortion for his willingness to perform the procedure.
Pretty grusome stuff, which is probably why many politicians, prosecutors and government agencies are deafeningly quiet today.
the law by Tiller
The Kansas Board of Healing Arts, which oversees the state's physicians, has not taken any disciplinary action against Tiller. The board's executive director, Larry Buening, would not confirm or deny that his board had even looked into potential violations of
Attorney General Carla Stovall is leaving enforcement decisions about the abortion law up to local law enforcement, her representative said. In essence, Stovall has turned a blind eye to partial-birth abortion.
A representative for Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola Foulston would not comment on the Arizona case or the abortion law in general. She said these matters were discussed internally and not publicly.
In an amazing show of arrogance, Foulston, at least through her representative, refuses to give any explanation of her interpretation of this legal issue of great importance. I guess Foulston's inaction is telling enough.
Legislators opposed to late-term abortions are stymied. They say their legislative attempt was to stop these cases, not increase them. Anti-abortion groups are stunned at how the law is being interpreted and abused.
There's finger pointing all around. But something more must happen and happen quickly. Stovall and Foulson should be held accountable for their unwillingness to prosecute late-term abortion cases, even if it only serves to clarify Kansas law, which they claim is unclear. The Board of Healing Arts should initiate a full proceeding to uncover exactly what is going on in Tiller's clinic. And, the Legislature should rewrite the law from scratch if legislators' intent is not being carried out.
Kansas is becoming the late-term abortion capital of the nation, and viable babies are being killed. That's the tragedy, and it must be stopped.

This is in response to Mr. Loader's editorial of 9/1/99. The Department of Student Housing policy is to not respond to negative articles published in the local press. These are my personal thoughts concerning Mr. Loader's editorial.
I take exception to Mr. Loader's editorial's irresponsible journalism and the resulting ill-informed assertion that not all that could been done to correct the McCollum Hall air conditioning problem was done.
Feedback
Had Mr. Loader properly researched his article, he would have discovered: the problem was discovered by maintenance personnel about mid-morning on Friday and necessary maintenance personnel were pulled away from other projects to repair the leak. They had to troubleshoot and diagnose the problem.
I do not mind Mr. Loader's personal cheap shots at me. I figure that comes with the job and the territory. I do resent his malignment of many hard working maintenance personnel.
If any of the students living in McCollum do not believe the maintenance personnel did all they could to correct the problem, I and the housing maintenance staff apologize for any discomfort caused due to the lack of air conditioning.
Column did not tell the whole story about McCollum
When Mr. Loader called me on Monday, I can only recall him asking three questions: what my name and position were, what had happened at McCollum Hall, and what method the contractor had used to ship the repair parts.
Two maintenance personnel spent their lunch hour contacting potential electrical parts suppliers in the Kansas City and Topeka areas searching for repair
parts. When the repair parts had been located, one of the workers drove to Kansas City. These employees are just a few of the many that went above and beyond the call of duty to fix the problem as quickly as possible.
I feel Mr. Loader owes an apology to his readers for his irresponsible coverage of this story and to any and all McCollum Hall and Department of Student Housing Maintenance staffs.

New book offers path to peace
Seek happiness author advocates
By Clare McLellan Kansan book critic
At one point in our lives, and perhaps throughout them, most of us stop to ponder the purpose of life. In Howard C. Cutler's book "The Art of Happiness, a Handbook for Living," this tireless question is answered in one line.
"Our purpose in life is to seek happiness."
This concept was revealed to the author through extensive interviews with the Dalai Lama and is the basis of his Buddhist teachings.
Unlike a traditional book on Buddhism detailing how to become Buddist, Cutler wrote "The Art of Happiness" specifically so that it could be applied to any person, regardless of religion. In fact, he scarcely mentions spirituality and religion until the final chapter. The book also is not a traditional self help book, nor is it merely a list of things to be happy about.
Book review
The majority of Cutler's book relays conversations between the author and the Dalai Lama at His Holiness's home in Dharamsala, India, and a series of public talks that he gave in 1993 in Arizona.
In this book, Cutter reveals the Dalai Lama's methods to attain happiness, from adopting an attitude of compassion for all people that readers meet to turning seemingly negative situations into positive ones from which readers can benefit.
The Dalai Lama's suggestions often seem quite simple, but the power behind them is far from simplistic.
For example, the Dalai Lama says he never gets lonely because of his deep compassion for everyone he meets. Therefore, a connection is possible because of shared humanity.
But Cutler questions His Holiness's wisdom from a Western standpoint throughout the book. In each conversation, the author asks for clarification on how the Dalai Lama's philosophy could apply to
the masses, not just those who follow Buddhist teachings.
The result is a book filled with eye opening ideas on how to lead a happier life. Many of the suggestions involve simply training the mind to see things from different angles and accept different viewpoints, even if readers disagree.
One section deals with transforming suffering into benefit. The Dalai Lama advises readers to use their enemies as opportunities to practice patience and tolerance. "In fact, the enemy is the necessary condition for practicing patience," he said "Without an enemy's action, there is no possibility for patience or tolerance to arise."
This line of reasoning may initially seem unrealistic, even impossible, but Cutler writes that these ideas will transform into action.
At times, the book is somewhat repetitive and seems to drag on in certain topics. Also, the author beats some of the points to a pulp with virtually the same responses from the Dalai Lama appearing in different contexts.

Action and humor spark Chill Factor
Kansas movie critic
By Brendan Walsh
Fans of action movies won't be disappointed in first-time director Hugh Johnson's Chill Factor. With more melodrama then a month's worth of Days of Our Lives, the movie is hardly a departure from your typical thriller. But with the likable Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Skeet Ulrich starring, Chill Factor offers more humor than the average action movie.
The movie's beginning takes place 10 years before things really get started. On a remote Pacific atoll, the U.S. Army is testing chemical weapons when a last-minute experiment goes awry, killing 18 servicemen. Only a scientist, a military officer and a very deadly chemical
are left behind. Major Andrew Brynner (Parish Firth) is sentenced to 10 years in Fort Leavenworth for allowing his men to be killed, while inventor Dr. Richard Long (David Paymer) gets off the hook.
Movie Review
Jump forward 10 years. Long spends most of his time trout fishing in rural Montana, hanging out with the local general store clerk, Tim Mason (Skeet Ulrich). Maj. Brynner is released from prison, and judging by his attitude, his time in the pen didn't consist of relaxing trout fishing. He is irate and has decided to get his vengeance by obtaining the chemical weapon that got him in trouble and selling it to the highest bidder.
Brynnner and his team of chic young bandits invade a military base in pursuit of the chemical, but succeed only in shooting the good doctor. Recognizing the fate of the world is at stake, the severely injured Long grabs the chemical, drives to town and puts his buddy Tim in charge of the weapon just before giving up the ghost. It turns out that the chemical must be kept cold, below 50 degrees. Luckily enough, ice cream delivery guy Arlo (Cuba Gooding, Jr.) happens to be in the store, so they toss the weapon in the truck's freezer and cruise off with the criminals in hot pursuit.
Chill Factor writers Drew Gittin and Mike Mcheda have a gift for hyperbole, exclamation points, and the use of a thesaurus — the word
compunctious is used on two separate occasions. By the end of the movie, audiences are supposed to be rooting for the military to keep this weapon away from terrorists. However, there's never any mention of the irony that we're rooting for the same organization that came up with this terrible device in the first place. Still, it's an action movie, and that's never a genre with a lot of moralizing.

As of now, there is nothing on JayhawkAuction.com to bid on. Szwec said that the corporation was getc set to launch a publicity campaign and that he expected the site to be busy within a month and to average between 50 and 100 auctions a month.
Test sites were launched at Penn State and Cornell University in April and were more successful than expected, Szewc said. Between June 1 and July 30, the site at Penn State had 20,000 hits, according to Szewc.
Sara Nutt, Lawrence junior, said that although she thought an online auction service was not something she would use regularly, it might be good for specific needs such as concert tickets and apartment leases.
"I think it might go over well, especially in Lawrence where everybody
wants to unload something," Nutt said.
Jason Tinsley, Lawrence senior,
said that he had visited auction sites
on several occasions but was wary of
making purchases.
"I am really hesitant about new auction services," Tinsley said. "I'd go to something that is reliable and is going to give you information about the seller."
JayhawkAuction.com's user agreement states that the site is only a venue for sellers to auction items. The company does not become involved in actual transactions and cannot guarantee that information provided by users is not fraudulent.
Szewc said that the company policed its sites as best it could and used a feedback system, whereby users who received multiple complaints could be suspended or
banned.
Keeping the service local was the best protection against fraud, he said.
"The good thing about the community setting is that you can meet the people you're dealing with," Szewc said. "I'm not saying it won't happen at all, but you have a lot less chance of being scammed."
JayhawkAuction.com is free for both buyers and sellers and makes its money by selling advertising on its Web site.
The goal of VillageAuction.com is to have 200 university sites eventually, Szewc said.

Preseason NFL tidbits with a twist
The National Football League kicks off in one short week. Fans soon will be able to relax in the refreshing fall weather and soothing sounds of bone-cracking tackles.
Yes, the slow-motion trek of the Major League Baseball season is winding down and will be replaced by fast-paced pigskin action. Even those of us with Attention Deficit Disorder can stay focused on a fall Sunday in front of the tube.
This next week, though, will be the toughest of your lives, football fans. Even though will be no actual games to quench your gridiron thirst, sports shows will be packed with NFL updates and preseason personnel changes — just to tease you.
Teams are going to announce who their starters will be for opening day — like it matters whether the
Bengals start
Billy Joe Rotten-

But we might as well let those teams believe they aren't going to go 2-14 for at least a week.

think about these last week announcements and maneuvers.
■ The Denver Broncos pronounced Brian Griese their opening day starting quarterback.
— No, Mike Shanahan isn't smoking crack. Although Bubbly Brister went 5-0 as a starter last year, and Grise has yet to start one NFL game, there is method behind the madness.
Let's imagine for a second that the Broncos romp to a 13-3 record with Brister at the helm and win a third straight Super Bowl. What do you think that would do to the legend of the almighty John Elway?
The world would see that the Broncos just have a damn good team and that Terrell Davis was the real reason Denver finally won a championship — not the almighty Coors drinker. Remember how good of friends Shanahan and Elway are? He doesn't want anyone to know that any second-rate slinger can take the Broncos to Super Bowl. His plan could backfire, though, if even Griese can get the job done.
■ The Miami Dolphins signed ex-Viking football player/ preacher Demitrius Underwood.
Jimmy Johnson needed a holy man because he's praying his team actually can muster a running game, and that two braces on each leg will hold Dan Marino together.
■ The Saints announced that Ricky Williams will be ready opening day.
Big surprise there. They traded their entire draft for the guy; they're going to start him even if he's in a wheelchair. I figure coach Ditka is going to call Ricky's number so many times, he'll be a walking injury list. Step right up, watch as one of the greatest college running backs to ever play is dismantled in a single season.
Forget jammed fingers and twisted ankles, the announcers play-by-play will go something like this:
"Williams gets the handoff. His new backbrace really seems to be holding together nicely. He's at the 10, the 10 and a half. Ouch, that's gotta hurt."
Can you say 11-man fronts?
The Chicago Bears announced that Shane Matthews will be the starting quarterback instead of Cade McNown.
Who cares, they're going 2-14.
The San Diego Chargers announced that Ryan Leaf will make their 53-man roster.
2-14.
With these inside tidbits, you should be well on your way to a happy and healthy NFL season.
2-14.

Safety check!

It didn't surprise coach Terry Allen that his safeties were in on more than one-fourth of the total tackles Saturday.
But does it worry him — after all, should a coach really want the players who usually are responsible for touchdown-saving tackles leading the team in tackles?
"In our style of play we use one of the safeties as a linebacker," he said. "In our scheme, is it a little more acceptable? Yes. Do you want it all the time? No."
stopping the run — the guys in the defensive backfield have to tackle the player after everyone else missed.
Usually, it's the linebackers who make a majority of team tackles. Though middle linebacker Dariss Lomax had a team-high 11 tackles, generally a team that has its safeties make most of the tackles has a harder time
Free safety Greg Erb and strong safety Kareem High both had nine tackles in the loss, while junior college transfer Carl Nesmith had five tackles and an interception. Nesmith split time at both positions for the Javhawks.
But what might be the most crucial part of the safety is their experience.
Erb is a former walk-on who did not play football his first two years at Kansas and had never started a game before Saturday
"What we're able to do with Greg Erb is plug him in at both free safety and strong safety," Allen said. "Which allows us to keep Kareem High and Carl Nesmith in the game for a number of reps and move him back and
forth."
High and Nesmith are both junior college transfers who played in their first Division I game last weekend. And it was Nesmith's first game on defense since high school. He played wide receiver while at Butler County Community College.
Nesmith is such a physical talent that Allen had to find a spot for him.
"He's a very physical player at the safety position, a guy that can come up and make plays at the line of scrimmage," Allen said. "He was actually playing as a third line-backer for us on a lot of occasions."
It's at that third linebacker spot where the safeties piled up their tackles.
The trio made nine tackles on runs up the middle and stopped nine more runs on the outside, coming up to the line of scrimmage.
Those tackles pleased the coaching staff—the "busts" are what will be worked on before the next game.
"A bust is a blown assignment," said Coach Dick Moseley, who coaches the defensive secondary. "When they didn't get busted, they played very well, but it when they did, that's a problem."
The busts Moseley referred to were the three long touchdowns by Notre Dame runs of 38 yards, 46 yards and 74 yards.
Working on making plays to stop the long runs is one of the things the 'Hawks will be working on before they play Cal State Northridge Sept. 11.
"We have a week off to correct those mistakes and heal the bumps and bruises we have," Erb said.

Fewer than 12 hours after the Jayhawks opened their season with a 3-1 victory against Missouri-Kansas City at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center, they already were preparing for their next battle—750 miles away.
The team traveled to Morgantown, W. Va., yesterday morning where it will participate in the West Virginia Tournament today and Saturday. The team will play one match at 5 p.m. today against Maryland-Baltimore County, and two at 12:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. Saturday against Oakland (Mich.) and West Virginia.
"We're really excited," said junior outside hitter Amy Myatt, who had 11 kills and 25 total attacks in Wednesday's victory over the 'Roos. "It should be a fun trip."
Fun as long as Kansas' opponents don't cause too many problems.

The Jayhawks' first opponent, Maryland-Baltimore County, was a 1998 NCAA Tournament qualifier and returns seven players from last season's 22-7 squad.
The Retrievers, however, have taken a big hit in the off season. The team lost Northeast Conference player-of-the-year Lisa Cline and two other All-Conference performers, settler LaNae Baker and outside hitter Megan McNamara. The Retrievers enter the match 0-1 after a season-opening loss at George Washington on Wednesday.
Kansas' second opponent, Oakland, is also 0-1 after a loss at Eastern Michigan on Wednesday. The Golden Grizzlies return two starters and 10 letterwinners from last year's team, which went 8-19 overall.
The last opponent the Jayhawks face will be host school West Virginia. The Mountaineers are 1-0 after a season-opening sweep in Ohio. Last season, the team went 13-15 and returns four starters and eight letterwinners. Other well-known players

- Kansas went 8-2 in tournament play last season and 10-2 in non-conference play.
The Jayhawks' season-opening win against Missouri Kansas City at home Wednesday night marked their second straight win in a season opener and their third straight win in a season opener in Lawrence.
"The opener-opener wasn't good, but the result was good," said Kansas coach Ray Bechard after his team dropped the first game 15-1 but came back to win the last three, 15-7, 15-6 and 15-11. "The first match gives you some stuff to work on."

The Jayhawks will place their 1-1 record on the line against Utah tonight, and they will do it without star transfer Hilla Rantala. Rantala, a junior, went down with a right-ankle sprain in the season opener against Colorado and was expected to return for this week.

been healing as well as the team hoped, but the Jayhawks hope she will be able to return soon.
"I have no idea (when she'll return), hopefully by the time we play Missouri, but it's not getting better very quickly." Francis said
The Utes are a relatively unproven team, despite what their 12-7 record of a year ago might lead one to think. They lost 13 players from last year's team, including eight starters. Also, the Utes placed fifth in the Western Athletic Conference last year, winning only two conference games.

Utah brings a 1-2 record into the game after defeating Idaho State 3-2 last Friday. It wasn't an overall impressive win for the Utes though, as Idaho State outshot them 15-12. Their prime force to watch will be senior forward Staci Burt, who tallied two goals in the game and may prove to be a worthy test for the Kansas defense.
Testing the defense is something Kansas coach Mark Francis is anticipating.
"Defensively it's going to be
10 f
important that our organization is getting better," Francis said. "Coming up against somebody that puts us under pressure is going to be a bit more of a test for us."
Francis also believes it is going to take a total team effort to overcome the fatigue of the long trip.
"It's going to take all 18 people, because playing two games on the road Friday-Sunday is tough. We're going to have to rely on all 18 people, and a lot of people are going to get playing time."
weekend.
Team focus is another area the team looks to improve on this
We're going to need to stay focused on what we're doing for the whole 90 minutes of both games," senior defender Cynthia Dahle said. "We've kind of lost focus in the final minutes of
the game, and that's where we get in trouble, but if we can stay focused the whole 90 minutes I think we can (win both games)."
On Sunday, the Jayhawks play the Weber State Wildcats, the reigning champions of the Big Sky Conference. The Wildcats finished 17-3 last year. The Wildcats return 14 players from last year's team, but they lost four All-Conference players to graduation. Weber State dropped its season opener 3-0 against UNLV Wednesday night.
While picking up two wins is important to Francis, he said believed the games were going to serve mostly as a tune-up for Missouri next week.
"Everybody's getting used to each other still and that's going to take time, so these games are going to allow us to do that," Francis said.

Kansas cross country coach Gary Schwartz always has liked facing rivals.
Tomorrow, Schwartz will renew an old rivalry in the first meet of the season at the Southern Illinois Invitational, but this time he will be competing as a coach instead of a runner.
When Schwartz was on the cross country team at Kansas, he ran several times against Southern Illinois' Bill Cornell, who will coach the Salukis cross country team against the Jayhawks men's and women's teams at the invitational, which will start at 9 a.m. in Carbonville, Ill.
Cornell has coached cross country for 18 years, while Schwartz is in his 12th year of coaching in Kansas.
Because he always has liked rivalries, Schwartz said, he's eager to face his old nemesis.
It's not only an old rivalry for Schwartz. Southern Illinois and Kansas will face each other for the 36th time. Kansas leads the all-time series 23-12.
All rivalries aside, Schwartz is ready to start the season to gain a better evaluation of his runners.
"It is still real early," Schwartz said. "This gives me a chance to evaluate new personnel that I have not seen run."
Diane Heffernan, Kearney, Neb., senior, is confident that the women's team, which will compete against Southeast Missouri State, Mississippi State and Southern Indiana, a Division II school, will have a better showing this year
than last.
She said she thought the women would finish well as a team on Saturday.
"This weekend is a chance for some of the (younger) runners to get experience under their belt," she said.
Some of Kansas' top runners will not be competing at full strength. Sara Brinkley, Winfield sophomore, and Heffernan are both coming off of injuries and believe they are not up to full health for the meet.
Brinkley strained ligaments in her knee during the summer and has struggled with her training, but she said she was definitely prepared mentally. Schwartz said he was confident in her ability to compete.
Heffernan had a bone moved from her foot and missed the indoor season in March.
"Missing a whole season really brings you down," Heffernan said. "The competition is out there getting better. I am hoping to bounce back by the end of the season."
Schwartz isn't phased. He said he wouldn't throw runners into competition unless he was confident that they could do what is expected.
in competitive shape. Jensen placed 50th overall at the NCAA championships last year but will not compete until Sept. 25 this season.
One of the men's top runners,
Brian Jensen, Ronne, Denmark,
senior, will not be competing until
later in the season because he is not
Jensen said that the men's showing in this first meet will not be a strong one for the Jayhawks.
"This first meet is just a test," he said.
The men will compete against Southern Illinois and Southern Indiana in the meet at Carbondale.
Schwartz said that this meet would help prepare the Jayhawks for their only home meet Sept. 12 at Rim Rock Farm.

I am a native of New York, NY. I grew up in the Bronx with my family and loved to play basketball. I attended college at Columbia University where I majored in history. I also excelled in math and science. After graduation, I worked as an administrator for a local non-profit organization. I have been passionate about environmental issues and working towards sustainable development. I am currently pursuing a master's degree in environmental studies at University of Minnesota. I am excited to apply for the position of Director of Environmental Policy and Strategy at the city government.

Believe it or not
story by emily hughey * photos by christina neff
Lawrence band of friends gears up for last gig
"It's almost like graduating from school. The band has been kind of like a girlfriend the past years."
The members of the Believe It Or Nots work through another practic run. Below: Mike Angeletti is called the "superman" of the group.
Greg Franklin Olathe senior
Sitting on the couch of a cluttered apartment in a house on Arkansas Street, musician Craig Proulx writes.
For women to show up and for the band to fade away.
His band, The Believe It Or Nots, is breaking up.
"We thought getting in a band would get us chicks," he says at one point. "Then we realized it doesn't."
He strums his guitar to the new Super-chunk CD playing softly in the background.
He talks about music and school and the CD his band released a month ago. The CD, There's a Great Future in Plastics, is on the Urinine Records label.
When he begins talking about the new record, his voice slows down a bit and he pauses, looking up from his sticker-laden guitar.
"We've had a month to promote it and now we're breaking up," he says, "it's odd."
While most bands' break-ups involve harsh words and communication breakdowns, after nearly three years of making music, it's just time for the Believe It Or Nots to move on.
But first the group has one last show—the biggest one it has played.
They will perform on the Lazer Rock stage at 6 p.m. Sunday at Penn Valley Park's SpiritFest in Kansas City, Mo.
Two of the band members still are enrolled at the University of Kansas. Lead singer and guitarist Mike Angeletti already has graduated and will study production at the University of Iowa after traveling in Italy. The rest of the band, composed of guitarist and vocalist Franklin, bassist Brad Leckron and drummer John Thang Nguyen, will remain here.
"It's been such a positive experience over the past three years that I can't be sad about it," says Franklin, Olathe senior. "Right now it's all nostalgia. It's almost like graduating from school. The band has kind of been like a girlfriend for the past years."
The others don't get as sentimental as Franklin does. Angieletti is looking forward to traveling, Nguyen is content with staying put, and Leckron, Lawrence senior, is sick with a cold. Laughter hides their sentiment, and it's obvious the four are friends. Good ones. Looking around the room at one another, they laugh and bring up inside
jokes. Like bad luck with women. Like the dancing cow that made its debut two years ago at their Dav on the Hill performance.
The dancing cow, who is really a friend in bovine apparel, characteristically capers around the stage during the set, throwing candy to kids. The dancing cow will be at the last show, and this time will throw toys or balls.
"I would imagine it's going to reappear," Angetetti says. "I would imagine—unless he gets sick—with a really bad case of Anthrax."
"Mikey's the 'ubermen,' the superman." Franklin said of Angelaetti.
The other three laugh.
"I wouldn't say that." Angelaetti retorts.
"That's a Nazi word. A Nietzsche word."
"Mikey's the lyrical genius; he's the poet; he's the soul. That's what I would say," Franklin says.
A chorus of laughter and mocking plaudits erupt. Though the mocking cheers among friends always will be there, the real cheers will come to an end this weekend, despite fans' wishes on the contrary.
"They don't want us to break up," Nguyen said.

Future in Plastics marks bittersweet end to band's career
BELIEVE III OF NOIS
RIF'S A GREAT FUTURE IN PLASTICS
By Chris Eckert
Kansan music critic
The bittersweet longing that pervades the Believe It Or Nots' new album There's a Great Future in Plastics will soon be the sentiment listeners will have for the band. The group will play its final show this weekend at SpiritFest in Kansas City. The five songs on the album are described in the liner notes as "two years worth of drunken weekends, loneliness at home, euphoria and broken hearts, all in the space of about 20 minutes." Most of the lyrical content reflects this mood, whether it's the jaded resignation in Blackberry Sage or the thoughts of a distant lover in 12 O'Clock in Brooklyn and Signals Mixed.
The music—rock without being cliched
swagger, emotional without being sappy cooing—can be traced to the bands that the Believe It Or Nots claim as influences, from Wawbreaker and the Pixies to the Beatles. Hand Me My Broadword is a peppy instrument that evokes 1980s college rock in all the right ways, and Michael Angieletti and Greg Franklin avoid the bloated sound that can come from two guitarists.
Disciple many downbeat melodies and lyrics, There's a Great Future in Plastics is not a sad album. Maybe it's the peppy robots and Bobbin' head dolls on the album art, or the grimming mugs of the band members in the liner notes. Maybe it's the occasional gleeffect eccentric lyric, such as declaring a temptress "anti-bacterial" in Terra Incognito.
Maybe it's the hidden track, a cover of the Monkees 'I'm a Believer' somehow faithful
Album Facts
Grade: Ato the original but with more yelling than Neil Diamond — who wrote the song for the Monkees — ever could have intended. Or maybe it's just the joy each of these men has for his music shining through in the recording. Crediting their friend Chad Saddoris as their "dancing cow" on the album couldn't hurt either. One last chance to experience the joy and the dancing guy in the cow suit comes this weekend at Spirit-Fest.

THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Study shoots down salary justification
By Nathan Willis writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
(USPS 630-640)
Administrators have long known faculty salaries at the University of Kansas compared poorly with similar schools. Now they know that one argument state legislators have used to justify those low salaries — that Kansas is a cheap place to live — is untrue, at least for Lawrence.
Research performed during the summer by the Pope Center for Higher Education Policy adjusted faculty salaries for the cost of living in each university's community, and the results for University were not good.
Compared with 80 other Research I institutions, the University ranked 73rd in salaries for professors and associate professors and 65th in salaries for assistant professors.
Research Is a designation assigned by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching that includes many of the largest and most prestigious universities in the nation — both public and private. KU is the only one in Kansas.
Provost David Shulenburger said the University was mired in the bottom 20 percent of unadjusted faculty
salary rankings compiled annually by the American Association of University Professors. When the Pope Center factored in cost of living, the University's rankings, unlike those of many universities, did not improve. Shulenburg said he wasn't surprised.
"It's sort of a myth that Lawrence is a cheap place to live," he said. "It often been confused with Kansas in general, which is cheap. Lawrence isn't."
That led to a ranking that, if anything, were worse than the University's ranking for unadjusted salaries, Shulenburger said. The AAUP listed slightly higher salaries for University faculty than the Pope Center did for its adjusted salaries.
"There is nothing positive in here," he said. "It's all negative."
Compared with the other 55 public universities in the study, KU ranked 49th in professors' salaries, 51st in associate professors' salaries and 46th in assistant professors' salaries.
Of the seven Big 12 Conference universities included in study, KU ranked seventh in every category. The adjusted average salary for full professors — $68,000 — was almost $20,000 less than that of the Big 12-leading

Ex-secretary pleads no contest to felony theft
Jerry Little, Douglas County assistant district attorney, sald yesterday that in exchange for the no contest plea, the prosecution lumped the five felony counts into one and added the two misdeanor counts.
Local firm gets Kansas Union job
Constance Coboy, the former Office of Minority Affairs secretary who was charged with five counts of felony theft, plead no contest Friday to one count of felony theft and two counts of misdemeanor theft.
Conboy will probably pay a restitution of $20,000, which is roughly equivalent to the amount stolen, Little said.
District Judge Robert Fairchild scheduled sentencing for 8:30 a.m. Oct.7.
Little said Fairchild would probably sentence Conboy to jail time; but instead of serving it, she would be placed on probation for two years. Requirements for avoiding jail time would include restitution, employment and community service.

Conboy could not be reached for comment.
Sherwood Thompson, director of minority affairs, said he would not comment.
Proposed view from Mississippi Street

The $4 million Phase III renovation and expansion of the Kansas Union is one step closer to getting started.
NEW ADDITION
Pat Beard, building service manager for the Unions, said that this summer his office interviewed five architectural firms at the Department of Architectural Services in Topeka that had placed bids to create the final design for the project.
PARKING GARAGE
PROPOSED LOGGIA / BRIDGE CONNECTION
"The firm we decided on was Could Evans Associates out of Lawrence who were the designers of the phase II renovation and expansion of the Kansas Union back in 1992," Beard said. "It helped that we had dealt with his firm before and that the committee knew what type of job they could expect from their company."
Tom Waechter, planning coordinator for design and construction management, said that even though an architectural firm had been hired, his office would continue to be involved in the renovation and expansion process until its completion.
"After the planning committee meets and decides what improvements they'll include in the project, then it will be our job to help with the bid process for the contractor who will complete the construction," Waechter said. "Hopefully the whole process goes smoothly, and we're looking for the completion of the whole project by the fall of 2001."
Korb Maxwell, student body president and a member of the planning committee, said the $4 million project would be funded through student fees, which included a $12-persemester fee for four years. The project will be funded through a 10-year bond, he said.
Beard said that some of the major improvements being considered were renovating Jay Bowl, possibly transforming it into an outdoor cafe, and expanding the Student Organization and Leadership Suite's office and cubical space to include additional organizations.
Beard said the next step was to get the planning committee together that was appointed by the Office of the Provost on
Nov. 16 to start deciding on what improvements will be included in the project.
phase of the renovation and expansion project is to make the Union a place where students want to hang out," Beard said. "The Union is self-supporting, and hopefully the improvements the committee decides on will generate a traffic flow in the Union throughout the day and into the night."
Maxwell said that he expected the planning committee to meet in the near future.
"The whole point of the third
The Memorial Union Cooperation, which runs the Kansas and Burge Unions, would meet Saturday and would set a date for the design committee to begin meeting, Maxwell said.
"The designing committee is a very representative group that is made-up of various students, faculty and staff." Maxwell said. "The selection of this group was designed to get a cross section of the University, and hopefully capture the interests of the University."
Workshops to illuminate KU library system

The vast array of resources at the KU libraries can leave many students' heads spinning.
But, with the Watson library's workshop series this semester, students, faculty and staff can learn how accessible the libraries actually are.

Tutorguru.com could help those who need aides
By Todd Halstead
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Tutorguru, www.tutorguru.com, is a not-for-profit Web site created by Danny Brock, St. Joseph senior, and Josh Millstein, Baldwin City senior. The site was launched Aug. 19 and provides an online forum for students in need of assistance with classes.
"They'll no longer be forced to find personal tutors from billboards where the selection is limited," Brock, who tutors calculus, said. "We have a forum where they can go without walking all over campus comparing tutors."
The site, which Brock and Millstein took most of the summer to construct, was conceived of by Millstein after he noticed the abundance of fliers advertising tutoring on campus.
"I would see filers everywhere, and I thought it would be easier if there was one place where you could go to find a tutor." he said.
"Students should be aware of it," Howard, who tutors English, Latin and Greek said. "Everybody has access to the Internet. Any student who is having trouble in any subject should check it out."
Tutors can create a profile in the database free of charge, detailing their qualifications, hourly rates and available times. Students can then access these profiles and decide which tutors are best suited to assist them in their studies.
"They can go on it and, in a matter of minutes, know that they have the best, most qualified tutor on campus with the best hourly rate," Brock said.
So far, there are 12 tutors for the site, and four students have listed profiles.
Throughout the year, tutors and students can update their profiles or delete them if they no longer want to be on the site.
If students discover there are no tutors available to help them, they can create their own profiles, which are searchable by tutors.
"It provides a one-stop kind of place where you can find out all the information you need to find a tutor." Millstein said. "It simplifies the process of finding a tutor."
If a tutor creates a profile compatible with that of a student, the student will be contacted about the match via e-mail.
By creating profiles on Tutorguru, some tutors said they have found that the ubiquitous flier is now an obsolete tool for advertising their services.
Robert Howard, Springfield, ill., graduate student in English, said advertising through fliers limited tutoring to students who had access to campus.
"I believe once it starts picking up that there will be a lot of advantages to online advertising for tutors and students," Badlev said.
Tim Badley, math tutor and KU graduate, said the Web site was a good opportunity for tutors and students to advertise online.
Howard said the site provided a private environment for students to acquire tutors for help.
"Students are a little bit conscientious about seeking out tutors. They don't want anybody else to know that they are seeing a tutor," Howard said. "This makes it private because students can just e-mail me."
Millstein said the site, in its current form, was how he and Brock had envisioned it, but that they would update it in the future.
"Right now it's how we wanted it, but eventually we want to add chat rooms," he said.
The chat rooms would make the site more interactive by providing the tools tutors needed to instruct students online, such as a screen serving as a chalkboard for math equations.
"I believe it's really a great Web site and I would like to see the whole campus get involved," Badley said. "It will become a great resource."

Classified Senate wants to change pay system
For Jerry Hansen, president of the Classified Senate, last year's problems are continuing into the new semester.
Hansen's problems stem from legislative bills, which were introduced last year, but have yet to be passed. The Classified Senate will discuss these bills at its first meeting from 10:30 a.m. until noon Wednesday at the International Room in the Kansas Union.
The bills cover issues from overtime work and retirement plans to changes in the pay system for classified employees.
Hansen said it would take a lot of money to get the bills passed this year.
The Senate will take its annual trip to the state capital in November, when classified employees will take the day off to lobby for House Bill 2522.
Mike Auchard, currently serving as a chair of legislative affairs for the Classified Senate, said the bill's purpose was to change the pay system for classified employees from one based on longevity to a more performance-based pay scale.
"One problem," Auchard said, "is that people aren't convinced how well a performance-based pay rate would work."
However, Hansen and Auchard said that bill would go a long way in improving the life of classified employees.

C-SPAN site vandalized; note quotes punk lyrics
WASHINGTON—Hackers vandalized the Internet site of the C-SPAN cable network Sunday, replacing its Web page with a bizarre note that included lyrics from a punk rock band.
The hackers, calling themselves "United Loan Gunmen," also claimed responsibility for the defaulency of the Internet site for ABC just weeks ago. The group is believed to be relatively newly formed, and its only known attacks have been the ones against C-SPAN and ABC.
Officials at C-SPAN, the public affairs cable network that broadcasts House and Senate proceedings and other public affairs programming, could not be reached Sunday night*
The Web site for C-SPAN was temporarily replaced with a black page carrying the logo for the hacker group. It also included lyrics from a song by the punk band, Dead
Kennedys, that purports to be a conversation between a U.S. government official and the leader of a Middle Eastern country.

poor man's trap on the question of whether he should admit to having used drugs in his younger days, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said Sunday.
Speaking with reporters after giving a sermon at a Manhattan church, Jackson said the
Republican presidential candidate and Texas governor had failed to show leadership on the drug issue.
Jackson claimed that 80 percent of a Texas prison population of 140,000 is under drug sentences, while Bush himself refuses to say whether he did or did not use narcotics in his youth.
"I say, free George Bush. And also a generation of youth trapped in that same trap, because above all we must not sacrifice equal protection under the law. And there is no category called 'youthful indiscretion' on cocaine," Jackson said.
Rain from Dennis moves north toward Virginia
BELHAVEN, N.C. — As coastal residents began to repair the storm damage, rainfall from the remnants of Dennis drifted northward across Virginia.
Flood watches were in effect today for parts of Virginia, Maryland and West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle from the storm, by now a tropical depression. A flash flood watch for parts of North Carolina's northeast Piedmont and coastal plain was canceled.
As of yesterday morning, the Raleigh-Durham area had received 7.4 inches of rain in two days. In southeastern Virginia, a tornado struck the town of Hampton during the weekend, causing an estimated $7.2 million in damage and slight liv injury a dozen people
With the storm centered over Virginia, the last of the rain was expected to be out of North Carolina by last night. Dennis spread about 2 inches of rain over drought-streken New Jersey during the weekend, and more showers were forecast for today.
iowa house explodes; seven die, six injured
RICHLAN, Iowa — A house exploded during a party yesterday afternoon, killing at least seven people, leaving only a hole in the ground the sheriff said.
Six other people were taken to hospitals in Iowa City, and three were in critical condition.
The blast destroyed the ranch-style home and cars parked in front. Hours after the explosion, light smoke was still coming from the charred debris.
"There's just a hole in the ground," Keokun County Sheriff Ron George said. "When I got here, the house was gone."
George said the dead were found in the basement. The cause of the explosion was unknown. George said a propane tank behind the house was still intact
It wasn't clear whether the party was a family gathering. A couple and their two daughters lived in the home, neighbors said.
"We've known them forever," said Maria Reif, who lives in the neighborhood. "He built that house himself, and it was a beautiful home."

Greek Orthodox church wants apology from Pope
ATHENS, Greece—Pope John Paul II must apologize for centuries of perceived Roman Catholic misdeeds against the Christian Orthodox to receive a religious welcome in Greece, Greek Orthodox Church leaders said yesterday.

High cost-of-living hurts Kansas salary rankings even more

University of Texas and almost $8,000 less than the University of Nebraska, which had the second-worst salary of the Big 12 schools included.
"This is our competition for faculty," Shulenburger said.
Compared with its peer institutions — the University of North Carolina, the University of Oklahoma, the University of Colorado, the University of Iowa and the University of Oregon — KU did no better. Oklahoma and Oregon were not included in the study, but the University ranked behind the other three in all three areas.
She also said that most professors she knew grumbled about salaries — whether adjusted for cost of living or not.
Mary Anne Jordan, associate professor of design, said that although she didn't consider cost of living when deciding to come to KU and she didn't think most other professors did, the University had often used cost-of-living arguments as a recruitment tool — arguments that the study contradicts.
"A lot of the administrators here would say that the cost of living is low." Jordan said.
"Everyone's constantly talk
ing about it," she said. "It's a daily conversation."
The competition for faculty makes it critically important to raise salaries, which the Board of Regents is lobbying hard for, he said. However, Shulenburger said it was too early to tell if the Kansas Legislature would agree to raise salaries.
The Pope Center study could help the Regents in their fight because it contradicts some legislators' arguments that KU faculty don't need to be paid as much because the cost of living is cheap, Shulenburger said.
"In a sense, this is useful," he said.
Meanwhile, Sally Frost Mason, dean of the college of liberal arts and sciences, said prospective faculty were influenced more by salary than the cost of living in an area.
"In general, the bottom line for most faculty tends to be salary, regardless of cost of living," Frost Mason said. "Quality of living is important for some, especially if they are planning on having families and raising children. Cost of living is something we've tried to use to persuade faculty during recruitment, but generally, it's not a deciding factor."

Library system to be explained in workshops
Continued from page 1A
Miller, Anschutz Science Library systems librarian.
The University has had an online catalog since
The University has had an online catalog since 1987, but it was not accessible from personal computers. Pierard said she had heard positive feedback about the online catalog's new features.
"If it's raining, you can renew your book from your own computer," she said. "You have broader capabilities than before."
Miller said the online catalog was separate from the University's system. Therefore, a crash on the library's online system would not affect the University's e-mail system.
The catalog also has links to the University of Kansas Medical Center, to Kansas State University's library catalogs and to the Library of Congress.
The one-hour online catalog workshops will inform students and faculty about the catalog's features. Pierard said.
"It can be a way for students to learn about the reserves of the library and all the 110 network databases of the library," she said. "It's a tremendous opportunity."
Other workshops include "Government Statistics on the internet" to "Music in the New Catalog."
Pierard said she expected most of the workshops to be full.
"We have a lot of hands-on focus for the workshops," she said. "We are limited to about 10 people per workshop because of the small computer labs."
Workshops will be at either the Clark Lab in Watson Library or at the Regents Library Center on the Edwards Campus, 127th Street and Oquira Road in Overland Park.
Information about the workshop series is available at the Watson reference desk. Students, faculty and staff can sign up by calling 864-8998.

Libraries change fining methods
There will be a 50-cents per day charge for books that have not been returned past the 14-day grace period, up to a maximum of $20. Any book that can only be checked out for a two or four-hour periods will have a late fee of 50-cents per hour.
John Miller, Anschutz Science Library systems librarian, said fees were increased to compensate for the cost of lost books.
"We need to be realistic about actual costs," he said. "But, the library will still be flexible and understanding about fines."
A shorter grace period is also in effect for long-term loans. Previously, borrowers had been allowed a 30-day grace period, but now they have only 14 days.
"We were trying to respond to how we use our collections, and we wanted to use them in an optimal way." Miller said.
The smart card is now required for library borrowing and is now used as a copy card.
Rholes said that by integrating the card, borrowers would not have to remember to bring both cards.
A complete list of the new library policies is listed on the libraries' Web site, www.lib.ukans.edu.

Brown Bear will try for new license

FIRST CLAS
Save Brown Bear
With a little help from their friends, the owners of the Brown Bear Brewing Co. are taking their case before the Lawrence City Commission once again tonight.
The Brown Bear is seeking a new liquor license from the city, and the KU College Republicans are going to be there to show support.
The KU College Republicans gathered signatures at Wescoe Beach on Thursday and Friday for petitions supporting the Brown Bear.
Timothy Burger, vice chairman of the KU College Republicans, said that he had about 300 signatures and that 15-20 other people had asked for copies of petitions to circulate on their own.

The KU College Republicans will present the petitions to the city commission, and Burger said he hoped the commission would recognize that there was significant support for the brewery.
"Nobody's saying that the Brown Bear should be closed except for the city commission." Burger said.
The Brown Bear was denied renewal of its liquor license Aug. 20 after an internal audit showed that the brewery was not in compliance with a zoning regulation that requires drinking establishments started after 1994 to make 55 percent of revenue from food sales. The C-3 zoning ordinance was created by the city with the intention of limiting the number of pure bars in the downtown area.
"They were quite far off the mark,"

City Commissioner Mike Rundle said that limiting the number of bars downtown generally received support from the community and downtown business owners. Rundle also said that because the Brown Bear had outside dining, it was required to make 70 percent of its revenue from food.
Rundle said.
On Sept. 14, the city commission will have a hearing on revoking the outside dining permit.
The Brown Bear closed and appealed to the commission for a second chance at the Aug. 24 city commission meeting. A motion to reinstate the liquor license was not seconded, and the Brown Bear apparently came to an end.
Three days later, however, the Brown Bear reopened the restaurant
portion of its business and set out to get a new liquor license as a new corporation.
Tonight, the owners of the Brown Bear are armed with support from the KU College Republicans and a new strategy for meeting the food sale requirement.
The Brown Bear is planning to sell a bag of peanuts with every beer and claim that 55 cents is for the peanuts and 45 cents is for the beer. The owners have said that the plan is
meant to point out the problems with the zoning ordinance.
Rundle said that he hoped that the owners would have a better plan than the one presented to the commission at the Aug. 24 meeting, which included a new menu, food specials, and more advertising.
Shawn Schlegel and Ryan Rodenburg, owners of the Brown Bear, could not be reached for comment yesterday afternoon.

Public policy institute delayed by site, power issues
writer@kansan.com
By Lori O'Toole
Kansan staff writer
Solid rock, underdevelopment on West Campus and a lack of funding have pushed the schedule for construction of the Dole Institute back about six months from Spring 2001 to August 2001.
Burdett Loomis, professor of political science and the institute's interim director, said the delay had not caused any concerns.
"This is a really important building," he said. "We really want to have the best design possible."
The institute will sponsor national, state and local policy forums and its archives will contain documents from former Kansas Senator Bob Dole's 27 years in Congress.
Warren Corman, University architect, said a soil estimate last spring found solid rock at the site where the building was planned, forcing the University of Kansas to seek a new location and building design.
Loomis said the institute would be located directly west of the Lied Center parking lot.
Corman said that because West Campus had no central utility system, it needed more planning, contributing to the delay.
Corman said the University had assumed that the new building would be able to use the Lied Center's utilities, including sewers, telephone lines, gas, water and electricity.
"We found out that was not the case," he said. "It barely had enough to support itself."
Corman said the University would begin plans to develop the utilities, roads and street lights for West Campus so that the Dole Institute and other buildings could be built there in the future. He also said the Kansas University Endowment Association, which had promised to raise money for the institute, needed more time.
Loomis said the estimated total cost of the project had been $6 mil.
"This is a really important building. We really want to have the best design possible."
Burdett Loomis
political science professor
He said ASAI Architects, based in Kansas City. Mo., began designing the building about a year ago.
The most recent design sets the building into a hill and includes a main floor and a basement.
The building's design, which Loomis said depicted monumental architecture, had a total of about 26,000 to 27,000 square feet.
"it's reminiscent of Washington," he said. "And then toward the back, it will be more rustic, more Kansas-like."
Corman said officials from the
design and construction management department, the state architectural office and the Board of Regents would meet this week to approve the preliminary drawings.
He said if the plans are approved, architects would begin the final designs, which should be completed in January or February.
Loomis said construction companies would bid on the final drawings and that construction could begin next spring, but that it could be pushed back further depending on the bid amounts.
"If the building estimates come in much, much higher, we may need to reconsider and redesign it," he said. "I think it's gratifying to see the drawings coming along. The next stage is to see if we can bring it in on budget."

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE NOT PLAYING TODAY?!?
YOUR CHECK BOUNCED, COACH.

Editorials
Sports, money and college are often a corrupting combination
David Katzman, chairman of American studies, recently expressed concern about the role athletics play at our university. Do big revenue sports bring corruption to universities? The following evidence suggests that, yes, athletics can and do bring corruption:
Last month, a former Notre Dame booster was convicted of embezzling more than $1 million and using some of it to give gifts to Irish football players.
- The University of Michigan basketball program is currently under investigation by the FBI as to whether a booster who ran an illegal gambling ring gave money to former players. The university already has found that former coaches had given the booster free tickets to basketball games and access to university hotel rooms during the NCAA Final Four.
An abundance of evidence shows that big-money athletics are problematic
In 1997, the University of New Mexico fired its men's basketball coach after one of his assistants helped two players obtain academic credit for classes they did not take.
In March of this year, a University of Minnesota employee claimed that she had done roughly 400 assignments, such as writing papers and helping complete take-home tests, for at least 20 basketball players. She also claimed that coach Clem Haskins had paid her $3,000 for illegal tutoring sessions. This
led to the suspension of four Minnesota players during the 1999 NCAA Tournament game and the buy-out of Haskins' contract.
In 1998, two former Northwestern basketball players were found guilty of point shaving. Similar point shaving scandals had recently occured at Arizona State University and Tulane University.
Certainly these instances point to athletics bringing corruption to universities. The fact that the list is not much longer is only to account for the space constraints of the Kansan.
Perhaps Kansas' Roy Williams said it best in 1998 when he stated, "The underworld is always looking for an edge ... It's something we have to be aware of everyday."
Erik Goodman for the editorial board majority
Sports corruption not accepted here
Is there corruption in American society? Of course, and too much of it. Is there corruption in athletics, even at the amateur level? Again, yes. But, has the commercial success of marquee sports at the University of Kansas caused corruption here? Not necessarily.
Let's look at the big picture of University athletics.
While one may find isolated incidents of corruption, just as in any other area of the University, sports at times have unfairly become a convenient whipping boy. Corruption is not inherent to money in college sports.
The University of Kansas Athletic Corporation has a $22.7 million budget. It brings the University international acclaim and provides some of the most memorable student traditions.
Corruption creeps into nearly every aspect of life, but KU athletics not tainted by money
But that success did not come easily. It came through many years of hard work, the dedication of thousands of student athletes, and a concerted effort to run a clean athletics program.
Athletics gives back to the University much more than it receives, which hardly seems like corruption. It provides fullride scholarships to many student athletes who may not otherwise have received a college education. It pours millions of dollars into the University, including building upgrades on state-owned facilities. And, for better or
worse, in a society that values athletic success, KU athletics are a helpful marketing tool to attract top-notch students.
The student athlete success stories can not be forgotten, either, among the stories of student athletes gone bad. Consider Gerb Erg, a one-time football walk-on who is now a starting safety and academic All-American. He shows what being a Jayhawk is all about.
Susan Wachter of KU Athletics Corp. recalled a former coach who said athletics are the "front porch of the house," or the first thing you see at a university. The University can be proud of its "front porch." It has taken a firm stance on keeping corruption out of its athletics, and, for the most part, has done so.

Coverage of cafeteria complaints ridiculous
As it is with any incoming student cohort to the University of Kansas, it's a hard-knock life for the Class of 2003. Along with strenuous new scholarly endeavors, arriving freshmen have to deal with the realization of independence. Enrollment, schedules, fiscal responsibilities, residence hall eating arrangements — these are but a few of the myriad obligations plaguing and repressing the lives of our younger collegian brothers and sisters.
Feedback
Bush made mistakes, but at least he didn't lie
As seasoned members of college culture, may we impart upon them the epic wisdom of the Rolling Stones: "You can't always get what you want."
I came back from Brazil a few days ago and got my first news on American politics in almost three months. I was extremely surprised by all the hype created by George W. Bush's declarations on whether he had used drugs and alcohol in the recent past.
Perspective
Bearing this in mind, it becomes difficult (for the most of us who haven't "too hungry to wait in line just to get a sandwich") to find the slightest shred of sympathy for those freshmen
Bush admitted he had made mistakes in his
Bush admitted he had made youth, and I admire him for the courage he showed with that confession. He also admitted he had problems with alcohol more than a decade ago when he was not the governor of Texas.
The press, however, is trying to confuse him with tricky questions, forcing the candidate, by mistake, to admit errors that he didn't make, failures he didn't have. Those reporters are, in my point of view, cheating the American people. Instead, of focusing on his

President Clinton lied about every single aspect of his private life, and, to my surprise, is still in office. Worse, people around the world think he used the government to cover his activities by bombing countries before important trials. What is more relevant, Clinton continued to make the same mistakes over and over again, while Bush apparently stopped several years ago.
I always admire people who overcome obstacles and succeed in life, and if Bush did that, the American people can learn something from him. He is not a person who has no weaknesses or is above good and evil. He is, in my opinion, a citizen capable of overcoming everything to be successful, to improve his actions and to fight to make this a better nation.
Bush can prove to everyone in the next presidential election that even someone sincere and honest can become the President of the United States of America.
capacity to overcome difficulties, the press may be robbing the nation of a great president. Those reporters are not allowing the people of the United States to congratulate him for telling the truth and for being honest with them, something that is rare in American politics.
I don't belong to a political party, I don't agree with many of Bush's political and social views, and I certainly don't want Bush to win the election next year. However, I profoundly respect his right to make mistakes, to become a better person, and, most importantly, a better public figure for the benefit of the American people. Everyone can do things wrong, everyone can have weaknesses; just ask Bill Clinton.
According to a recent Time and CNN poll, 84 percent of the people who were interviewed said that even if Bush did use cocaine in his 20s, he shouldn't be disqualified from being President. Even better, 58 percent said no when asked if reporters should be asking Bush questions about the cocaine allegations. Third, when asked if a candidate should have to answer questions about whether he used cocaine in the past, opinions really split. Last June, 60 percent said "yes," against 38 percent saying "no." Last week, it came down to 48 percent to 49 percent.

'Hawks should chalk on campus sidewalks
So much for the University being a marketplace of ideas. Provost David Shulenburger has said that he will look into banning or restricting the use of sidewalk chalk. His complaints are twofold: first, that it requires Facilities Operations to do additional work to clean the campus (by removing the chalk) and second, that a disproportionate amount of the chalkings are advertisements.
It seems to me that the complaint about adver
Simpson columnist
opinion@kansan.com
It seems to me that the co-
tirements is a symptom of a greater problem. I have to ask myself what the difference is between drinkspecials.com writing on the sidewalk and MasterCard or the Kansas City Star hawking their wares in front of Wesco Hall. Maybe Facilities Operations has to do a little extra work to clean up the chalk (though the writings are placed in high traffic areas where, after a few days, enough Birkstein stores have traipased across them to erase them
A. S. KIRKMAN
from existence), but there likely would be an equal amount of effort required to pick up discarded fliers and handbills from the vendors. And I don't hear the provost calling for an end to the inserts inside the Kansan (or the Kansan itself, for that matter), both of which make a far bigger mess on campus than any pastel colored bubble letters in front of Fraser Hall.
If a clean campus is the top priority, let's be consistent in who we hold responsible for it being dirty in the first place. If the problem is that the chalkings are advertising something, let's be consistent with keeping advertising off campus. Banning one type of advertising while allowing another is certainly a double standard. While the credit card sharks prey on a student population already wallowing in student debt.
the venders forced to leave are those trying to save me 50 percent on textbooks. Something's not quite right with that picture.
Banning sidewalk chalking also could disproportionately affect student groups. I know that most of the writing on the sidewalks around campus isn't by student organizations. But if such a practice was banned, companies could well afford other means of advertising. Student groups can't. Banning sidewalk chalk would eliminate one of the few remaining means that student groups have of communicating with the University at large.
Restricting sidewalk chalking under these circumstances would have a less dramatic effect on student groups and would provide advertisers an alternate forum for their catchy slogans. Maybe then Facilities Operations can spend their time cleaning up the blood on Wesco Beach after the credit card sharks pack up for the day.
Last fall the provost's office released a new policy severely restricting the use of bulletin boards across campus. Now the few boards that students can post on are so overgrown with filers and posters (many from University offices such as the Office of Study Abroad), that it is increasingly difficult for any one group to announce meetings or events. Banning sidewalk chalkings would make it just that much more difficult for groups to convey their messages.
A solution lies in the creation of more public bulletin board space. Other universities across the country and even various cities around the world (particularly in Europe) provide outdoor, designated posting space in the form of kiosks, pillars and bulletin boards. It certainly would be possible to create something of similar design for the University. Maybe Student Senate could allocate some of its massive reserve account to this project.

I do not consider myself a Christian, but it is impossible for me to not acknowledge that the Bible has made a strong impact on Western culture. Our art and literature are ripe with biblical allusions. From Milton to Steinbeck, some of the greatest literary minds have built masterpieces around the stories found in the Bible.
As students, we read the Bible in our Western Civilization classes, not because the humanities department is on a religious crusade. We read the Bible because it is integral in understanding the Western mindset. It is also the reason why school children and academics study the religious beliefs of the ancient Greeks.
Whether or not you as an individual hold the Bible as a sacred text, it is the mythology of our culture. For good or bad, it has affected the way each of us conceptualizes the world around us. The stories of the Bible hold sym-

I strongly support the separation of church and state because I believe that the intellectual climate of our educational system would suffer if it were encumbered by religious dogma. I don't, however, believe that the University's deposition of Moses in the University symbol constitutes religious practice, at least no more so than Steinbeck's novel *East of Eden* can be considered a religious text.
bolic meaning for members of our society that extends beyond their religious context. Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Moses before the burning bush—these stories possess a symbolic resonance that every member of our culture understands, whether or not we believe these stories to be divine truth.
The myth (or revelation, if you prefer) of Moses before the burning bush has traditionally been associated with the quest for knowledge. I can think of no more apt symbol for an institution of higher education.

Seminars to 'Focus on Health'
By Amber Stuever writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Watkins Memorial Health Center will try to reach out to students and faculty better tonight at the kick-off of the "Focus on Health" seminar series.
The seminar — titled "Focus on Health . . . With Eyes Wide Open" — will be presented by Carol Seager, associate director of student health services; Randall Rock, chief of staff; Julie Francis, health educator; and Pamela Botts, associate director of Counseling and Psychological Services.
The first seminar in a series of presentations on various health issues will be from 7 to 8 tonight at the Visitor Center Auditorium.
Watkins administration and staff will present an overview of the center's health and counseling options and will address
common questions about fees insurance options and access to services.
"This is really a timely introduction into what Watkins has to offer." Francis said.
This is the first time Watkins has conducted a series of healthrelated seminars on campus.
Seager said the center wanted to improve outreach and integrate the staff into the community to share their expertise.
Francis said that although the series would be open to all students, Watkins administration wanted to attract students who werent aware of the center's services and acquaint them with the center's faculty and staff.
"I truly think it's important for the students to know the extent of our services and the capabilities of our staff," she said.
"Once you start feeling comfortable with who will be providing your medical care, the better you'll feel about coming here," Francis said. "So it's a terrific
opportunity for us to reach out."

"It's a good opportunity to get out where the students are while they are at a convenient time," she said. "I think the more we get out there and talk about these issues the more they'll stay in a healthy status."

Fine Arts continues search for dean
Current committee will remain intact for candidate hunt
By Nathan Willis writer@kanson.com Kanson staff writer
The search for a new fine arts dean continues after the candidate recommended by a search committee last spring failed to reach an agreement with the University.
@
Provost David Shulenburger said he decided to leave the original search committee intact rather than starting again with a new search committee. Last spring's search produced some viable candidates that, because of conflicts, never interviewed for the position, Shulenburger said. The previous candidate's
name was never released.
The Etc. Shop
John Gaunt, committee chair and dean of architecture, said the committee's mission remained intact.
The 12-member committee reconvened for the first time Wednesday, minus two of its original members. One member is on sabbatical, and another left the University.
"It's not uncommon for a search to end without a hire," she said. "It doesn't mean the committee did a poor job."
"This is essentially a continuation of the search before." Gaunt said.
Despite the failure to produce a dean last semester, Danielle Dempsey-Swopes, committee member and associate director of the Equal Opportunity Office, said the committee was undaunted.
A similar search in the spring semester for a law school dean also ended without a hire, Shulenburger said.
He said it was a coincidence that both searches lasted a semester. Complications in negotiations
with the candidates caused the problems, he said. "This is unusual," Shulenburger said. "These are pretty much unpredictable reasons why neither one of the searches produced a dean."
The fine arts search committee is focusing on making this search successful, Dempsey-Swopes said.
with the candidates caused the problems,he said.
"Of course, we'd like not to have to do this again with all our other work, but we're pretty optimistic about our chances," she said.
Although Gaunt said the committee had not yet set a date to conclude the search and present the candidates to the provost, Dempsey-Swopes said the committee members wanted to wrap up the search by the end of the semester.
The committee is contacting candidates from the first search who were unable to interview, Gaunt said. The search also is open to new candidates, though the committee won't run another campaign advertising the position, he said.
"Our hope is that we are able to interview all viable candidates by the end of October." Gaunt said.

Faculty, staff to gather for convocation
Special to the Kansan
By John Audlehelm
Students had their chance to convoKE; now it's the teachers' turn.
1866.
"There is a long tradition of an opening convocation at the University of Kansas," Chancellor Robert Hemenway said. "It's as much a part of fall at the University of Kansas as the marching band practicing and the football team playing their first game."
The Faculty and Staff Fall Convocation will begin at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow in 130 Budig Hall.
The first fall convocation was in
Hemenway said the convocation was a time to speak with faculty and students about both successes and problems.
Jeannette Johnson, assistant to Provost David Shulenburger, said the convocation would open with a welcoming address, followed by a presentation of awards.
"Throughout the year, there are a number of awards given to faculty members for teaching, research, advising and service." Johnson said.
Recipients of 20 Kemper Awards,
four Budig Awards, four Higuchi
Endowment Research Achievement Awards and two awards in International Studies will be recognized at the convocation.
ringuchi Award winners will be announced for the first time at the convocation. Johnson said.
The award presentation will be followed by speeches from Faculty Senate President Mary Hawkins and Provost David Shulenburger.
The Higuchi Awards consist of $10,000 grants and may go to any faculty member at a Regents University. One award will be presented in each of the following categories: humanities and social sciences, basic sciences, applied sciences and biomedical sciences, Johnson said.
The provost will focus on graduate education and research. Johnson said.
The chancellor is also scheduled to discuss the Initiative 2001 Program, which encourages KU campuses to act as one University, serve Kansas citizens, and carve out a distinctive niche in the changing world of higher education.
Hemenway said he expected 600-700 of the University's 1,000 faculty and 3,000 staff members to attend.

Militias terrorize East Timorese
The Associated Press
DILI, Indonesia—Tens of thousands of refugees fled the capital of East Timor yesterday as pro-Indonesia militias continued a wave of terror, torching homes and reportedly slaughtering hundreds of civilians.
World leaders indignantly called for Indonesia to make good on its pledge to provide security in the provincial capital, Dili. But witnesses said Indonesian troops were aiding the militias and trying to intimidate journalists and U.N. workers into fleeing the territory.
"The situation remains out of control." Gen. Rusmanhadi, chief of national police, said in the Indonesian capital of Jakarta. "The government there is no longer functioning."
For the first time, a senior Indonesian official acknowledged the breakdown in security.
The city spiraled into chaos after the announcement Saturday that East Timor had voted overwhelmingly in favor of independence from Indonesia in a U.N.-supervised referendum.
set houses ablaze, fired rocket-propelled grenades and bazookas, and shouted through megaphones for those remaining in the city to get out. Witnesses said both militiamen and Indonesian troops loaded people onto trucks and sent them to West Timor, an Indonesian province that shares the island with East Timor.

"There is very clear evidence of collusion between elements of the (Indonesian) security forces and the militias to deport East Timorese forcibly to West Timor and elsewhere," said Mary Robinson, the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights. "An integral part of this campaign is to terrorize the population with the most gruesome abuses of their fundamental rights."
Indonesia invaded the former Portuguese colony of East Timor in 1975 and has held it in an iron grip ever since. It is estimated that 200,000 civilians have been killed in the last 25 years.
Witnesses reported seeing soldiers escort militiamen during an attack on thousands of refugees hiding in the home of Bishop Carlos Belo, East Timor's spiritual leader
and the winner of the 1966 Nobel Peace Prize. Belo was at home during the attack, but was uninjured. He was later evacuated to the eastern town of Bacau.
The Red Cross said 11 of its delegates and eight other foreign aid workers were taken at gunpoint to a police station, but the whereabouts of the local employees and more than 2,000 people who sought shelter in its compound were unknown.
U. N. officials evacuated 300 of its election workers yesterday, but left some 400 delegates in Dili. Foreign journalists, holed up with the remaining U.N. workers and some 2,000 refugees in the U.N. compound, said the situation was only worsening
U. N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan was to brief a high-level Security Council delegation before it
left for Jakarta yesterday evening in an effort to quell the violence, which four U.N. workers dead and six others missing and presumed dead.
Australia's Prime Minister John Howard told President Clinton he was ready to send troops to East Timor if the Indonesian government asked, White House spokesman Barry Toiv said.
Portugal, France, Australia, and Britain have said they support sending a U.N. force to East Timor, but Britain said Indonesia would need to ask for assistance first.
Megawati Sukarnoputri, frontrunner to succeed Bhatia when Indonesia selects a new president in November, offered her utmost apologies on behalf of Indonesia to the people of East Timor for the past quarter-century of violence.
Israeli court bans torture in interrogations
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM—Setting a landmark in Israel's decades-old conflict between democracy and security, between respecting human rights and protecting citizens from terrorism, the Supreme Court on Monday banned the use of torture in interrogations.
The ruling came just one day after two car bombs went off, the latest of dozens of attacks that have killed hundreds of Israeli civilians in recent years.
Shin Bet security agents will no longer be allowed to tie Palestinian suspects with their hands behind their backs to a rail under an air conditioner in the middle of winter.
They will no longer be able to grab suspects from behind and shake them violently. They will no longer be permitted to force Palestinians into the dreaded "shabeh" position, bent backward over chairs, hands and legs shackled beneath, or be allowed to put a putrid, choking hood over their heads.
For Fatima Hreizat, 65, from the West Bank town of Hebron, the decision came to late. Her son, Abu Samed, died in 1995 while under interrogation.
Still, Defense Minister Efraim Sneh worried that the ruling would deprive the Shin Bid of tools it needed to extract the information necessary to prevent extremist attacks. Joyce Boim agreed.
In May 1996, a Palestinian shot and killed her 17 year-old son, David, as he stood in front of his school.
"These things may be torture, they may be horrible, but what did they think when they drove by and shot my son?" Boim said.
On Sunday, two car bombs were set off in the northern Israeli cities of Tiberias and Haifa. The three men killed in the attacks were apparently the bombers.
Boim, who immigrated to Israel in 1985 from New York with her family, said Israel must use any means necessary to prevent attacks.
Investigating an incident in which Shin Bet agents looking for a bomb beat a Palestinian to death after removing him from a bus he hijacked.
an official commission ruled in 1987 that agents could use moderate psychological and physical force to extract confessions. Human rights groups charged that gave the green light to torture.
The methods banned by the court are not used only to prevent imminent attacks, said Eitan Fellner, director of B'Tselem, a local human rights group. He said tens of thousands of Palestinians had suffered from the practices, and many had later been released without charge.
Abed Ahmar is one of them. Ahmar, 31, told reporters he was arrested three times. He was never charged, but said he underwent all the forms of interrogation now banned by the court. As a result, he said he suffered from permanent damage to his back.
Though they unanimously banned the practices, the nine Supreme Court justices noted that the state still had the right to defend itself. If the Shin Bet believes it must torture a suspect to reveal the location of a ticking bomb, the torturer would be put on trial, but a court might accept the argument that physical force was necessary.

Waco revelations raising Oklahoma City questions
The Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — Ever since her grandons were killed in the Oklahoma City bombing, Jannie Coverdale has doubted whether the government has been entirely truthful about what happened.
Revelations about the FBI's use of flammable tear gas canisters at the 1993 Branch Davidian standoff in Waco, Texas — accusations denied by the government for six years — have raised even more questions, Coverdale said.
"After what I've heard about Waco, I'm beginning to blame the federal government for my grandchildren dying," Coverdale said. Her grandsons, Aaron and Elijah, were among the 168 people killed in the April 19, 1995, bombing of the
"I don't trust the information we've gotten so far about Waco or the information we've gotten on the bombing," she said. "I can't believe what we've been told."
Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.
Survivors of the bombing and relatives of those killed are divided about whether the government's new information about its role at Waco has any bearing on its investigation of the Oklahoma City bombing.
Government prosecutors have said the bombing was in part retaliation for the April 19, 1993, fire that killed Branch Davidian leader David Koresh and more than 80 of his followers at Waco.
"Some of these people like blame the government for everything. That is such a shallow interpretation of the real evidence," said Dr. Paul Heath, a psychologist for the Social Security Administration who survived the bombing.
But Coverdale's distrust is shared. "I'm thrilled to see the truth surfacing. It's sure cleaning the slate for the people who have been deemed the right-wing nuts," said Kathy Wilburn, who also lost two grandsons in the bombing.
Conspiracy theorists contend the government started the fire that ended the 51-day siege at Waco. The government says the fires were set by the Branch Davidians.
"Truth has a way of surfacing after a while," Wilburn said. "I'm hoping that the truth also comes out about the Oklahoma City bombing. The more truth we get, the more it vindicates my husband and I."
Memorials will mark parking spaces where four died in Kent State riot
KENT, Ohio—The promise of young lives shattered. Tear gas wafting across a place of learning. A nation at its most divided and chaotic.
The Associated Press
The deaths of four Kent State University students shot by National Guardsmen during a 1970 Vietnam War protest seemed to crystallize the turmoil of an unsettled and tragic era.
The emotional power of the shootings lingers, even among students who weren't born when it happened. This week, new markers are to be dedicated in the parking lot where the students fell.
"It's really an emotional subject," said Kent State senior Kim Larson, 24. "It's such a shame that it had to happen. Every one of those people had a great future ahead of them."
As part of the student-run May 4
Task Force, Larson helped collect petition signatures last year to press the university to mark the parking spaces where Allison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Scheuer and William Schroeder fell dead.
The memorials are to be dedicated Wednesday.
Guardsmen were sent to the campus on May 2,1970, after days of student protests and the burning of the campus Army ROTC building. On May 4, they used tear gas to disperse students.
The shootings sent shock waves across a country growing weary of the war.
About midday, 28 Guardsmen fired at least 61 shots in a 13-second burst, hitting protesters, bystanders and students walking to class.
The shootings have given Kent State a unique and painful legacy.
Guardsmen climbed to pursue protesters. A granite plaza stands as a memorial to the victims, while 51,175 daffodils have been planted in honor of the nation's Vietnam War dead.
There's the sculpture marked by Guard gunfire and the hill the
The university has offered a course about the shootings for years and has institutes that study peacemaking and conflict resolution.
The four parking spaces have been roped off each May 3 for an overnight vigil, with a single student holding a lighted candle at each spot.
Work on the parking space markers took three weeks and cost about $100,000, which was raised from private sources. Each memorial has a rough-edge granite border and six waist-high lamp posts. A polished triangle of granite in each space has the date May 4, 1970, and the name of a slain student.

Moby speaks on his life at Play

By Emily Hughey writer kanson.com Kanson staff writer
Sweat twirls up like a tornado from the bald-headed blur at center-stage. Moby dabbles back and forth from the microphone to the guitar to the drums to the bongs to the synthesizer and back to the microphone again.
No one knew Moby didn't want to be there.
Energy pulses from his face and runs down his sallow cheeks in the form of sweat. His deep-set eyes, studying the scene, are raging with life. They dart around, calculating his plan of action, the music, the sound, the lights and even the crowd, a sight at which he cracks a half smile.
"This is probably the weirdest event that we've been on to this tour." Moby said, sipping on a Tropicana Twister in the back of his tour bus before Friday night's show at SpiritFest in Kansas City, Mo. "Normally we play theaters or clubs or big festivals, but this is like a county jamboree or something. It's just bizarre. The reason we're here is the radio station invited us. Originally, the plan was to come to Lawrence and do a concert there, but unfortunately we got roped into doing this."
Despite his chagrin in the venue and the fact that he had to perform in little more than one hour, Moby said he was at peace — with the time on the clock, with the ensuing performance, with his music and with himself. In contrast to the frantic disposition Moby exudes during a performance, in his trailer, he is relaxed and gracious, an unassuming rock star in old jeans and a ragged T-shirt.
I'll go with the one in the top right.
**Hughey:** Your new album *Play* is a mixture of many styles. In which genre would you say it fits best?
Moby: I don't work within one musical genre. The music on this record certainly has a lot of dance influences, but there are a lot of classical elements and a lot of hip hop elements and blues elements and folk elements. It doesn't immediately fit into one specific genre — I like all of them. I think that distinctions between different musical genres at this point are very arbitrary. At one point maybe it made sense to have a distinction between a rock band and a classical orchestra because their approach to making music was very, very different. But now, especially for myself, whether I'm working on quiet instrumental music or dance music or rock music or what have you, it's all just me in my stu-
Hughey: How do you react to critics referring to you as a Christian?
Moby: I'm not really a Christian. There are a lot of sort of clches that follow me around. Essentially the way I perceive myself as is being fairly ambiguous. I don't necessarily align myself with one specific religious dogma; I don't necessarily align myself with one specific musical genre. But I guess that makes people uncomfortable so they sort of try to lock me into something specific.
Although I love Christ, and I love the teachings of Christ, I don't think of myself as being a Christian in any conventional or contemporary sense.
Hughey: How did you start mak-
Hughey: How did you start making music?
when I was 8 years old and over the years I taught myself how to play different instruments, and then, when I was about 18 or 19, I put together a very rudimentary studio with a four-track and some microphones, got a drum machine, got a synthesizer and just went from there and kind of taught myself the basics of studio engineering.
Hughey: Which direction do you see your next album taking?
Moby: I started playing music
Moby: I just want to make records I love, I don't really think about what genre I'm working in. My only goal with making a record, with every record, I just want to make something I think is powerful and I love and that other people will love as well. Music affects me very strongly, and I love the idea of being able to make music that affects me strongly and hope that, in the process, I'll be able to influence other people and affect them strongly as well.
Hughey: Right now, binge drinking, underage drinking and drunk driving are major issues in Lawrence and at KU. Where do you stand on drunk driving, particularly regarding your father's death?
Moby: He was drunk, and he drove into a wall. He was a drunk driver. In
some cases, liquor can be a terrific thing, and it can also be really destructive and dangerous. It all depends on the individual and the circumstances, really. As far as drunk driving goes, just walk. Usually, with issues like that there is such a simple solution. Usually people will do anything rather than the obvious solution.
Hughey: What about underage drinking?
Moby: You can't curb underage drinking. The decision to let people drink once they reach a certain day in their life? That's so bizarre. I'm really wary of social policy that's enacted for one group by a completely different group. If you have a 40- or 50-year old business man trying to enact legislation to affect a 16-year-old teenager, how can that 40- or 50-year-old man in any way understand the circumstances of a 16-year-old in 1992? They always approach it from this high and mighty position like they know better, and that's not always the case.
Hughey: Do you feel like you have the answers?
Moby: No, not for a second, no. I think I'm pretty good at being analytical, but there are a lot of things I'm genuinely clueless about.

Stadium construction deadline nears
By Mike Miller
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
It's crunch time for the University of Kansas.
With Walton Construction Co.'s deadline for the completion of Memorial Stadium moved to Wednesday, it leaves the University of Kansas with a mere two days to prepare the press box and the scholarship suites for the season-opening football game Saturday.
"At this point, we're confident that they'll be done by Wednesday," said Doug Vance, assistant athletics director.
What remains to be done — installing chairs in the press row, installing televisions, networking phone wires and electrical outlets and
"We can use the facilities the way they are now," said Warren Corman, University architect. "It's just touch-up things that have to be done."
The touch-up things include: vacuuming the carpets; cleaning counter tops and washing windows; picking up trash; dusting; and bringing up tables, chairs, food, decorations and anything else that would need to be done to make the new additions to the Stadium complete.
If everything is finished by Sept. 20,
then Walton will receive $50,000 of the
$300,000 bonus that was agreed to last
June. What remains unclear is
whether Walton will receive other
$250,000, which would have been
awarded to the company had it finished a significant portion of the work by Aug. 31.
Both Corman and Vance were noncommittal, but Vance thought that Walton probably would get the money. "I'm sure that's the case," he said.
The $12 million project is supposed to pay for itself by revenue generated from the $22,000 to $50,000 a year suites and a $6 surcharge on ticket sales — but it could take longer than expected.
As of Thursday, seven suites remained unsold, and season-ticket sales were about the same as last year. Vance said that single-game sales were not included and were expected to increase as the season progressed.
But that's not what worries the Athletics Department right now. All of the attention is focused on finishing the stadium for the game against
California State-Northridge Saturday.
"There may be some scratches here and there, but it'll be an excellent facility when it's done," Corman said.
The press box and the scholarship suites are additions to a stadium that has undergone renovations during the last two years. The press box is one level — about thirty feet — higher than last year and now can accommodate 114 reporters, compared to 80 before. The scholarships suites occupy two levels in the four story addition and seat anywhere from 8 to 22 people. Both additions complete the University's makeover of the Stadium.
A $13 million renovation project that included the installation of permanent lights, infrastructure repairs, a new concourse and home locker rooms was completed last fall.

Volleyball team dominates play at weekend tournament
Myatt sets school record; Three Jayhawks named to all-tournament team
Don't expect the Jayhawks volleyball team to be invited back.

Not with the way it treated the opposition last weekend at the West Virginia Tournament in Morgantown, W.V. The Jayhawks cruised to the tournament title, sweeping Maryland-Baltimore County on Friday and Oakland (Mich.) University on Saturday afternoon, and defeating host school West Virginia on Saturday night, 31. With the victories, the Jayhawks improved to 4-0 on the season.
"It was exciting for us to win the tournament, but it's even more exciting to me that we could win even though I still don't think we're playing our best volleyball." Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "We were in and out of rhythm this weekend because we played 12 or 13 players a match. We're just trying to give a lot of people opportunities so it's hard to establish a team rhythm."
The Jayhawks hit a pretty good rhythm in pushing aside the Maryland-Baltimore County Retrievers on Friday night, 15-9, 15-8 and 15-7. Senior outside outside hitter Mary Beth Albrecht led Kansas with 12 kills to go along with eight digs, with sophomore setter Molly LaMere had 29 assists and 13 digs.
Junior outside hitter Sara Kidd and freshman middle blocker Kyle Thomas also made their Kansas debuts on Friday. Kidd played in one game and recorded one dig, while Thomas played in one game and had one block assist. Neither saw action in Wednesday's season-opening victory against Missouri-Kansas City.
On Saturday, the Jaywhks began the day with another sweep, this time against the Oakland Golden Grizzlies, 15-8, 15-5 and 15-9. Kidd had career-highs in kills (8), aces (3) and digs (10). Junior Amy Myatt had eight kills and sophomore Crystal Walker chipped in with five kills.
"It was fun to finally get out there and play and get some of my nerves out," said Kidd, a James Madison transfer who ranked second in the Colonial Athletic Association with 330 digs last season.
Robertson will be a King for a year
See VOLLEYBALL on page 2B
By Matt Tait sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Last year, the NBA Draft had a different feel for Kansas fans. The anticipation of where All-Americans Raef LaFrentz and Paul Pierce would go created a buzz across Lawrence for weeks before the draft. Would one of them be the number one pick? Would they go first and second?
This year the feel was quite a bit different. The likelihood of a Kansas player getting picked was very slim, and the anticipation barely buzzed on draft night — that is, until the 45th pick rolled around.
The broadcast on Turner Network Television was nearing the end, and the hour was getting late. Too late for Kansas fans? Evidently not, because just after returning from a commercial, unable to even announce the selection before showing his mug shot, Ryan Robertson's picture appeared on the screen — as the 45th pick overall, selected by the Sacramento Kings.
"It was unbelievable," said Johnny Robertson, Ryan's father. "When they came back and we saw his picture it was unbelievable, so of course we all jumped for joy."
When it was unbelievable to most, Robertson did not think it was such a stretch. In fact, he didn't really think about it at all.
“It’s not something I ever really thought about because of the career I had,” Robertson said. “I wasn’t an All-American, but I was real excited, and I told my friends that if it was going to happen, it would be at 45 to Sacramento.”
Sure enough, it was. However, as Robertson said, because he was drafted in the second round, nothing was guaranteed. He then thrust forward to the next step — working out, playing well and earning a spot on the team. That spot became a little more attainable Friday as Robertson signed a one-year contract with the Kings. The contract will pay Robertson the league minimum of $300,000 and includes an option for a second year if the Kings so desire.
Robertson wanted to hire an agent and contacted Kansas coach Roy Williams who referred him to agent Mike Higgins. And even though there were no real negotiations for a second round pick, Robertson said Higgins did a lot for him, mostly keeping in contact with his dad so Ryan would know what was going on.
"I talked a lot with Mike and dealt with the team on that end," Johnny Robertson said. "They all think very highly of Ryan, and I think they saw in him what Kansas people saw in him."
With two steps of the road to the NBA now

behind him, Robertson said he was prepared to go work hard and earn a spot on the team.
"I would imagine it will be a whole other commitment," he said. "The fact that it's a job now makes it a little more serious. I don't have to go to school anymore. I workout 7-8 hours a day, but I can do it when I want."
His father agrees that there will be adjustments to be made, but he is confident Ryan is ready to handle them.
"Now he's got to go fit in and play well," Johnny Robertson said. "He's a tough kid, and I think he'll do it."
Robertson's former teammate and current Kansas senior, Nick Bradford, agrees.
"People don't realize he can play two positions," Bradford said. "He's 6-5. That's big, and they know he can shoot lights out — I'm very happy for him."
Robertson joins fellow Kansas alumnus Scot Pollard on the Kings and several other former teammates in the league. Robertson said he was looking forward to playing with Pollard again.
"That'll really make my transition easier." he said. "Being in the same city with Scot will make the situation a little easier. He's one of my favorite people, and we're good friends."

Robertson will report to Sacramento later this fall and will begin his quest to back up Sacramento point guard Jason Williams when training camp opens in October.
"He's what they wanted, and I think Ryan's prepared for the battle," his father said.
Local ballers could defeat women's pros
Welcome to the world the latest in sporting dynasties — the Houston Comets.
That's right, the Houston Comets (they play in the WNBA).
You know the WNBA. It's the women's professional basketball league that makes great commercials as long as it doesn't involve actual highlights from games.
You may not have heard yet, but the Comets just won their third straight title. That's one for each year of the league's existence. Three years, three titles. But still it's not big news compared with almost anything that happens in the NBA.
Even in this, the year of women's sports, the WBA can't muster more than a ripple in the great sea of American sports consciousness.
In all fairness, the WNA has done well selling both tickets and merchant
So why, with all this attention on women's sports, does the WNBA still inspire yawns from most sports fans?
Women's tennis is hotter than ever, boasting both parity and star power, and the Women's World Cup was easily the sports story of the summer.
dise. This season, the WNBA averaged more than 10,000 people a game and nearly eclipsed the 2 million mark for total attendance.

The reason why is simple: If you like watching basketball, the men's game is far superior to the women's game.
Unless you live in a WNBA city or have a basketball-crazy teenage daughter, you probably don't pay too much attention to the WNBA.
It's true that John Wooden, a true basketball sage, has said that the best pure basketball in the country was being played by women's collegiate teams that stress fundamentals and teamwork.
And sure, there's nothing prettier than watching a perfectly executed Princeton-style backdoor pass. But isn't it so much better when punctuated with a violent dunk?
Basketball is the best sporting forum for displaying athleticism, and that's what we've come to expect.
High-flyers going back even further than Dr. J have ruined the experience of watching any basketball that is played below the rim.
As of yet, no WNBA player has dunked in a game.
Last week playing pick-up ball at Robinson, I saw a wicked alley-oop on a fast break. What would make me want to watch basketball on TV that isn't even as exciting as what I see at the local gym?
Which brings up another point. I would bet that if I took 10 of the best players at Robinson and coached them for a week, they could beat the Houston Comets in a three-game series.
It's not just that the athleticism isn't there, either. The WNBA suffers from some of the same problems that plague the NBA. Rough play and bad shooting make games a drag.
In the last game of the finals was a case in point. The Comets scored only 59 points, made just 29 percent of their field goal attempts and basically won the game at the free throw line, hitting 27 of a whopping 32 attempts. Doesn't sound too exciting, does it?
Sorry Houston, but I'm afraid this dynasty will be about as memorable as one of those Chinese ones... you know, the one a long time ago.

Deion Sanders returns to Dallas after injury
IRVING, Texas — Deion Sanders worked out in pads and a helmet yesterday for the first time since undergoing toe surgery in April, increasing the chances he will play for the Dallas Cowboys in Sunday's season opener.
Sanders moved at only half-speed during his hour-long workout and didn't make any hard cuts that would have forced him to push off on his rebuilt left big toe.
He went through individual drills and 7-on-7 work, then called it quits midway through full-suad action.
"He did work against receivers, so I guess you can call it an official return to practice," coach Chan Galley said. "I had a feeling of optimism that he'd be back soon, but this gives me even more of that feeling."
"Thursday afternoon is when I'm going to get excited if it's on for him to go Sunday," team owner Jerry Jones said. "But it's real encouraging to see him out here."
After an off day today, Sanders will test himself further tomorrow and Thursday.
The final decision of when Sanders returns is solely up to him and probably won't be made until just before kickoff.

Doyle wins Senior PGA Championship in KC
Doyle birdied four of the final seven holes Sunday for a 7-under-par 65 and a 2-shot victory in the inaugural event.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Allen Doyle didn't think he had to play as well as he did to win the TD Waterhouse Senior PGA Championship.
"The birdies just started flying," Doyle said. "If someone had asked me if I would have to shoot 7 under to win, I would have said probably not. It turns out I did. I hit some awful good shots coming in."
Doyle finished with an 18-under
198 total for his fourth victory of the year, making only one bogey in 54 holes. He ended up two shots in front of second-round leader Ed Dougherty and three in front of Gil Morgan. Both Morgan and Dougherty shot 68s.

Kenyan breaks record for 1.000 meter run
RIETI, Italy — Noah Ngeny finally made the move from runner-up to record-setter.
The Kenyan, who has helped Hicham El Guerrouj shatter records in the mile and 1,500 meters, put himself into the record books Sunday by eclipsing the 18-year-old standard for 1,000 meters at the Rieti Grand Prix II meet.
Paced perfectly by countryman David Kiptoo on a sunny afternoon, Nguyen glided around the track nestled in majestic mountains northeast of Rome in 2 minutes, 11.96 seconds.
That broke former great Sebastian Coe's mark of 2:12.18, set at Oslo, Norway, on July 11, 1981 — when Nengy was 2 years old.

Later on in the evening, a star began to emerge for the Jayhawks. Myatt, an outside hitter who recorded 22 kills all of last season, had 27 of them against West Virginia. Her performance was a career-high and tied a school record for most kills in a four-game match. Senior middle blocker Amanda Reves, an All-Big 12 Conference performer, added 18 kills on the night.
"I honestly didn't know I was doing it," said
Myatt after she had tied the record and was named the most valuable player of the tournament. "All I knew was that I was really confident in what I was doing, and it was working."
Three Jayhawks were named to the all-tournament team - Myatt, Reves and Albrecht. Reves' selection marked the eighth-straight time she has been named to an all-tournament team, dating back to 1997.
The Jayhawks opened with four straight
wins for the second-straight season.
"We weren't playing at our best," Kidd said. "The positive thing is that we have a lot of room for improvement, and we know that we can play better. But we started to pull together as a team, and everything started to come together the last match."
The Jayhawks come home this weekend for the Hampton Inn Jayhawk Classic at Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Kansas will play Chicago State, Texas Christian and Auburn.

Soccer team splits games in Utah
By Chris Wristen

Kansas sportwriter
The Kansas women's soccer team split two games this weekend in Utah, falling 2-1 in overtime to Utah and pummeling Weber State 3-0.
In Friday's game against Utah, the Jayhawks got off to a slow start. The Utes struck early, netting a goal three and a half minutes into the game when Amy Kofoed beat the defense and scored an unassisted goal. Kansas struck back in the 80th minute when senior Cynthia Dahle fed junior Kylie Watts for her first goal of the season and tied the game at 1 each. Utah ended the game almost 14 minutes into the overtime period when Brittany Harlan handled a Dana Bolton pass and sent it past Kansas goalkeeper Betsy Pollard for the goal that won the game.

"We played horrible in the first 25 minutes. That is when they scored their goal," coach Mark Francis said. "After that we made a tactical change in the midfield, and we did better. We played much better in the second half."
Although disappointed with the loss, Francis was pleased overall with how the team played.
"Utah was a good team," Francis said. "They had a lot of speed. They scored two good goals. For the first time this season, we did not give up any goals, they earned them."
"It was ugly as sin, but we won," Francis said. "The field was a nightmare, it was all wet and muddy, but we did well with our chances this time. We only took 11 shots, but scored three, so you have got to like that ratio."
Kansas bounced back Sunday by defeating Weber State, in spite of poor field conditions. A combination of rain from the night before and a sprinkler system that didn't get turned off in time created a sogy field.
The scoring started early for the Jayhawks. Junior Katie Lents scored in the game's second minute off a pass from freshman Brianna Valento. Senior Melissa Downing kept the offense rolling in the second half when she scored off a pass from junior Meghann Haven, which was Haven's team-leading third assist of the year. The scoring concluded in the 70th minute as sophomore Melanie Schroeder found herself on the receiving end of a pass from junior Colleen Colvin and scored her second goal of the season.
"It was a great feeling, I was really excited I got a shutout," Pollard said. "But it wasn't just me, it was my defense and the midfield. If the forwards didn't score those goals then the score still would've been 0-0, so it was a
total team effort."
Pollard believes the shutout also will help build confidence.
Pollard said. "Our defense is really strong this year, so I think what we needed was a total team effort."
"The four defenders and me needed to get a shutout to gain some confidence."

Team Tennis has Lawrence swinging
Professors and students play in league
Scott Kirsch sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
For all those tennis fans out there who are glued to late-night TV coverage of the U.S. Open and are just itching to strut their stuff, World TeamTennis may be the answer.
World TeamTennis, which has a professional team in
Kansas City, came to Lawrence in 1993 and now has six nonprofessional four-person teams here. And although most KU students probably have not heard of it, some have already participated.
"We had a few (KU students) last spring," league director Kalissa Kaufman said. "And in the summer we had a few more. Also, Jenny Garrity, the (Kansas) women's tennis coach, has shown interest in playing."
The league plays by regular TeamTennis rules, exactly like the professional Kansas City Explorers. Teams consist of two men and two
women, and there is a no-aid format. This means that a game goes to four points, without playing to a two-point margin. Play is rapid, with the first team to capture six games winning the set.
"It's like a mini-Davis Cup," Michael Moses, Lawrence senior, said. "It really gives you good match experience, and it's nice to be part of a group."
Moses said he played two seasons in 1998, until an ankle injury kept him out last spring. However, he is back on the court for the current season, which runs from August 26th through October 7th.
"It's an awesome thing," he said. "All ages can participate."
Fox said there were two leagues, the more competitive played on Thursday nights while the other plays on Sundays.
Michael Fox can vouch for that. Fox, an associate professor in Health Policy and Management at the University, said he played last fall until he hurt his knee. This season he said he will participate as a substitute, meaning that he will play whenever a team needs a male player.
"It's a great opportunity to maintain skills in not too couthret of a league," he said. "There's a certain degree of maturity. Nobody's throwing their rackets. If you lose, you lose."
Fox believes the league is very equally divided. The matches include singles, doubles, and mixed doubles. Players can also split-time, so that a participant can get as much exercise as they want.
So, whether a tennis player wants to compete, get exercise, or both, World TeamTennis could be your game.
But no racket-throwing.

Runners perform well in opener
By Rebecca Barlow sports@kanson.com
Kansas sportwriter
The Kansas cross country team didn't know what to expect at its season opener Saturday at the Southern Illinois Invitational. But they found both the men and women's teams showed they are ready for competition this season.
The men's team finished second to Southern Illinois by two points and had a first place finisher. The women's team finished third.
Tate was excited that his team ran so well on Saturday.
Andy Tate, Lake Elmo, Minn., senior, led the men's team with a first-place finish with a time of 19:53.90. He was the only runner to break the 20-minute mark. Kansas' Brent Behrens, Atalissa, Iowa, sophomore, finished fifth, followed by Pete Prince, Lake Elmo, Minn., sophomore, who finished sixth.
"I think we did an excellent job. Every runner had one of the best races of their careers, and its only the first meet. It's a good sign." Tate said.
Gary Schwartz, Kansas cross country coach, was glad to see Tate with a first-place finish.
Senior runner Kevin McGinn, Emporia senior, had a problem with the heat and his asthma during the race and finished 20th. Schwartz said he was pleased that the men's team did so well even though McGinn was not running at his full ability.
"He had a season (last year) he wasn't pleased with." Schwartz said. "I am pleased to see him racing well."
On the women's team Sara Brinkley, Winfield sophomore, crossed the finish line with a time of 19:10.00 and a 13th place finish. Keely Malone finished 14th.
Brinkley said she was very satisfied with her performance as well as the overall team performance.
"I thought the team did great. That was the best I have seen the team do," Brinkley said. "I ran my best for the day. There are some things I need to improve on."
Schwartz said he is very optimistic about where the women's team could go this season. He said they have better depth and better talent this season.
He said that there was a lot more competition for the top spots on the women's team. He thought that helped motivate the entire team.
Kansas and Southern Illinois have a history of competing against each other. They have run against each other 36 times, with Kansas leading the series 23-13.
Schwartz and Southern Illinois coach Bill Cornell are old friends. Schwartz and Cornell competed in track at the same time during their college careers. Schwartz threw the discus for Kansas and Cornell was a runner for Southern Illinois. Schwartz enjoyed coaching against his old rival and was happy with his runners' results.
"I like those kind of rivalries, they are a little more personal," Schwartz said. "We got a good competitive effort out of the people we brought."
The Jayhawks will race again next Saturday in Lawrence. They will host the Bob Timmons Invitational at Rim Rock Farm, the only home meet this season.

Students get off the couch and sign up for intramurals
Flag football has different feel than original
By Jason Walker sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
For those students who have been anxiously awaiting athletic glory at the University of Kansas, but were somehow overlooked by Terry Allen and Roy Williams — the time is now.
The Kansas fall intramural season starts today with the first flag football
games and sand volleyball matches. Jason Krone, assistant director of recreation services, said the turnout for the fall season was pretty big.
"We are expecting about 100 football teams and 65 sand volleyball teams," he said. "That's slightly down from last year, but it's still pretty good."
Krone said that even though the managers' meetings for the two sports have already been held, students wishing to sign up were still welcome.
choice of what time slot they get."
"People tend to think, 'oh my gosh, I forgot to sign up,' but we can still get them in," he said. "But sometimes they don't really have a
voice of what time slot they get. While the basic rules of sand volleyball are similar to the indoor version, flag football differs greatly from the traditional counterpart. Tom Nienke, Mulvane senior and program assistant, said that while there were many differences between the two, there was one obvious alteration.
"No tackling," he said. "That's the biggest one. There's really not any contact at all."
Krone said that the no contact rule led to a new kind of game that involved different fundamentals than the traditional version of football.
"It involves screen-blocking," he said. "You have to establish position before your opponent."
Another difference is that there are first downs after 20 yards, rather than 10. The field is divided into five 20 yard zones and a team has four plays to advance the ball into the next zone and get a first down. There are also two 20-minute halves with a running clock.
Krone said that while Kansas's version of flag football was different from traditional football, it wasn't as different as other schools' versions.
"We are one of the only programs in the nation that still kick field goals and extra points," he said
" everyone else either has to go for it on fourth down or punt. They also have one- and two-point conversions after touchdowns, but they don't kick extra points. Plus we use a 100-yard field, while most others use an 80-ward field."
These different rules can be difficult to pick up for people used to traditional football. Craig Phelan, Olathe junior, said Kansas flag football was not like what he had previously known.
"It's hard to get used to," he said.
"The flow of the game is a lot quicker. There's not as much time between plays, and there are a lot of short, quick passes. It's like it's
high-intensity with less impact."
Phelan said the rules of flag foot ball made it open to just about any one.
"It's good because it makes it possible for a variety of people to play." he said. "You don't necessarily have to be an athlete."
Students still interested in getting a team together can bring their roster for sand volleyball or flag football to 208 Robinson and sign up. The managers' and officials' meetings for intramural soccer are scheduled for this evening at 7 and 7:30 p.m., respectively.

Colorado State dominates rival
The Associated Press
DENVER  - A year ago, they were thumped by their in-state rivals 42-14.
They headed into Saturday's rematch as a 13 1/2-point underdog with supposedly inferior talent and speed, and hardly anyone expected a different outcome.
But Colorado State, rallying behind an opportunistic defense and running back Kevin McDougal's 190 yards and two touchdowns, stunned No. 14 Colorado 41-14 before 73-428 fans at
Mile High Stadium, snapping the Buffaloes' eight-game winning streak in the series.
The upset spoiled Gary Barnett's debut as Colorado's head coach.
Besides contributing to four scores, the Rams' defense forced six turnovers and sacked Colorado quarterbacks Mike Moschetti and Adam Bledsoe nine times — a CSU record.
"I'm embarrassed for our team, for our coaches and for our university," Barnett said.
Colorado State raced to a 28-0 halftime lead thanks to two big offensive plays and critical turnovers by Colorado. The Rams made it 41-0 before the Buffaloes scored two late touchdowns.
Less than six minutes into the game, Rams' linebacker Rick Crowell intercepted a pass from Moschetti near the left sideline and, with an open field ahead of him, ran 54 yards for a touchdown.
"Our defense set the tone," McDougall said. "Rick Crowell got us started, and it was downhill from there. It's a great feeling to beat Colorado. We haven't done anything like this in 13 years."
CSU's last win in the series came in 1986, when they won by a score of 23-7 in Boulder.
Rams Coach Sonny Lubick praised
McDougal's performance. "I've been
coaching a long time, and I
haven't seen anyone as tough as him," he said. Early in the second quarter, quarterback Matt Newton passed to Frank Rice in the right lat and Rice, sprung by
flat and Rice, sprung by a block from tackle Blane Sainin
on cornerback Damen Wheeler, turned it into a 67-year scoring play.
"We're supposed to be slow," Rice said. "Nobody caught McDougal. Nobody caught me."
With 5:37 left in the half, defensive end Clark Haggans deflected a lateral by Moschetti and hauled in the loose ball, returning the fumble 15 yards to the 1-yard line. McDougal scored on the next play.
"Nothing right for us tonight," Moschetti said. "We can move forward or we can move backward. Hopefully, with the group of guys we have, we can work hard and take a step forward."
nates rival Upset sends fans to frenzy
The Associated Press
DENVER — Police, hoping to thwart an end-of-game celebration by victorious Colorado State fans, fired pepper gas and Mace into the stands at Mile High Stadium after unruly fans hurled debris at the officers and at the opposing team Saturday night.
With about one minute left in the game, police came onto the field on the northeast corner of the stadium where Colorado State fans were sitting.
The officers were under orders from the Denver Broncos to prevent damage to the field or the tearing down of goalposts.
The police were pelted with debris. Debris also was thrown at Colorado players as they exited the field.
"We didn't want them to rush the field — there were still people out there," said Denver police Lt. Tony Ryan, a field supervisor.
University officials and media conducting post-game interviews around the north end zone were caught in the line of fire.
The crowd dissipated quickly, however,
and a more dangerous situation was averted.
"It's disappointing that this game can't be conducted with more class by the participants (fans)." Colorado coach Gary Barnett said.
Michigan squeaks past Jackson, Fighting Irish
The Associated Press
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Jarious Jackson was giving Lloyd Carr that uneasy feeling coaches often get in the fourth quarter. All the Michigan coach could do was hope for the clock to tick faster.
Jackson was driving No. 16 Notre Dame downfield for what would have been the winning touchdown. The Irish, starting with 1:38 remaining, drove from their own 20 to Michigan's 12 before
own 20 to Michigan's 12 before time expired Saturday.
The No. 7 Wolverines escaped with a 26-22 victory, and Carr felt every bit of it.
"It was a sick feeling," he said. "I was here for the Colorado game. I've seen a lot of bad things happen."
In that 1994 game, Kordell Stewart threw a 64-yard pass that Michael Westbrook hauled in for a touchdown as time expired and the Buffaloes upset Michigan 27-26. With a quarterback as dangerous as Jackson, Carr could see it perhaps happening again.
MICHIGAN
"I told the defense. 'They've got one time-out left. Keep them in bounds.'" Carr said
out left. keep them in bounds, "Carr said.
Michigan had taken the lead on the second touchdown of the day by tailback Anthony Thomas, who rushed for 138 yards on 32 carries in intense heat before an NCAA-record crowd of 111,523.
The Irish quickly spent their last time out, yet Jackson was unfazed, even when things appeared to go against him. His
first pass was incomplete and the option magician was stopped for no gain on second down. No problem.
Jackson rifled consecutive strikes of 36, eight and 15 yards to put the Irish on Michigan's 21-yard line.
Jackson sent the ball over the middle
But Jackson was fighting the clock, too. He threw incomplete on first down, then was sacked for a 10-yard loss by Dhani Jones. No problem.
and Rak Nielson caught it for a slant pattern. But safety Tommy Hendricks slammed Nelson to the ground. Before the crowd could get to its feet, the clock read 0:00, and the celebration was on. Jackson completed 19 of 89
passes for 302 yards with one interception. He had a 19-yard touchdown pass to Jabarl Holloway, and he also rushed for 47 yards, including a 12-yard touchdown romp, but a series of sacks caused Jackson to finish with negative rushing yardage.
Joey Getherall got Notre Dame's other touchdown on a 4-yard run.
Tom Brady, the fifth-year senior who guided Michigan to a 10-3 record and a share of the Big Ten title a year ago, was almost as cool as Jackson — especially in the fourth quarter when the Wolverines needed a touchdown. Brady was 17 of 24 for 197 vards.
Jeff DeI Verme kicked field goals of 21, 35,
37 and 27 yards for Michigan.

Nebraska opens season victorious against Iowa
The Associated Press
IOWA CITY, Iowa — Nebraska has been the nation's highest scoring Division I A football team in the 1990s. With the decade coming to a close, the Cornhuskers want to be remembered as a good defensi-
They made a strong statement to that end, in their opener, man handling Iowa's offense from start to finish in a 42-7 victory on Saturday.
N Tinkers
ish in a 42-7 victory on Saturday. The Hawkeyes, playing their first game under coach Kirk Ferentz, never came close to scoring with their offense and got on the board only by returning a blocked punt for a touchdown late in the game.
The fifth-ranked Cornhuskers, coming off what for them was a disappointing 9-4 season, held Iowa without a first down until just 3:36 remained in the first half
and limited the Hawkeyes to 169 yards.
With a strong pass rush, Nebraska sacked quarterback Kyle McCann three times and drove him to the ground countless other times as he was releasing the ball.
"I thought defensively our players really played some good ball." Nebraska coach Frank Solich said. "I feel a little badly for them because they really played shutout defense, but we had the one kick block."
As quick and aggressive as Nebraska looked on defense, Iowa also was hurt by its own ineptitude. An inexperienced offensive line that was missing senior Chad Deal, sidelineled by a leg injury, opened few holes and did a poor job protecting McCann, who was 11-of-27 for 112 yards with one interception.
"I don't match we played very well." McCann said. "We've got a long way to go, but I think we can get there."
So does Ferentz, who took the reins following the retirement of Hayden Fry after 20 years as Iowa's coach. The Hawkeyes should not be so overmatched next Saturday night at Iowa State, although the Cyclones did beat Iowa 27-9 last year.
Nebraska's defensive play was especially important in the first half because the offense sputtered. Iowa made some big hits while twice stopping the Cornhuskers on downs, and quarterback Bobby Newcombe threw an interception and lost two fumbles. It was just 7-0 at halftime.
But with Newcombe alternating with Eric Crouch, and DeAngelo Evans and Dan Alexander taking turns at I-back, the Cornhuskers wore down the Hawkeyes.
Newcombe threw a 47-yard touchdown pass to Sean Applegate and scored on two short runs. Crouch scored on runs of 28, 6 and 21 yards, the last two coming against an Iowa defense that clearly was fatigued.
Quarterbacks give 'Huskers options
The Associated Press
IOWA CITY, Iowa — Nebraska coach Frank Solich says having two quarterbacks who are effective at running the Cornhusker offense is a nice problem to have, but it's one that he's growing tired of discussing.
Starter Bobby Newcombe and backup Eric Crouch led the Cornhuskers through a worn-out Iowa defense in a 42-7 win against the Hawkeyes in the season opener for both teams Saturday. Newcombe rushed for two touchdowns and passed for another and Crouch ran for three, reigniting their preseason battle for the starting job.
Solich said he had no immediate plans to adjust the platoon system, which means Newcombe is
likely to start Nebraska's home opener against California on Saturday, with Crouch coming off the bench.
"No one lost their starting job out there from what I see on the sideline. We always review film." Solich said. "I'm not going to get into every practice and every game who's our starting quarterback."
Newcombe led the Cornhuskers deep into Iowa territory throughout the first half, but he had three turnovers that held heavily-favored Nebraska to just a 7-0 lead at halftime. The Cornhuskers' only touchdown of the half happened in Crouch's opening series, a four play, 47-yard drive capped by Crouch's 21-yard run midway through the second quarter.
Crouch finished with 92 yards
rushing on five carries and completed three of five passes for 68 yards.
Newcombe rushed 15 times for 35 yards, including two short touchdown runs, and was 7 for 10 passing for 128 yards with one interception. Newcombe and Sean Applegate connected on a 47-yard scoring play on the Cornhuskers' third play of the second half, the first of five Nebraska touchdowns in the half. Crouch added runs of six and 21 yards in the fourth quarter.
Newcombe, the starter as a sophomore a year ago before a knee injury ended his season, won the preseason battle for the starting job. Solich said Crouch had taken the news that he was No.2 hard, but denied reports that he quit the team.

AUSTIN, Texas — There were no disastrous breakdowns for Texas this time, just total domination of an overwhelmed Stanford defense.
Quarterback Major Applewhite passed for 353 yards in three quarters and Texas scored touchdowns on its first
Longhorns overwhelm Stanford
INTRUST Bank
Kwame Cavil had 180 yards receiving and two touchdowns on six catches for Texas (1-1) and tailback Victor Ike added three 1-yard touchdown runs.
"This is the best overall performance this team and this staff has had since we've been in Austin." Texas coach Mack Brown said.
The Associated Press
It was the most points surrendered by Stanford since a 72-0 loss to UCLA in 1954.
six possessions to roll over Stanford 69-17 Saturday.
A week after having three punts blocked in a 23-20 loss to North Carolina State, Texas wasn't forced to punt until late in the second quarter. Ryan Long got the kick off with ease, earning one of the biggest cheers of the game from the crowd of 80,654.
With Texas leading 7-0 and Stanford facing fourth-and-6 from its 15, Terrol Dillon broke up the middle to block Sean Tolpinrud's punt. Tyrone Jones recovered the loose ball at the Stanford 1 and Ike scored his first touchdown three plays later to put Texas up 14-0.
Applewhite was hot from the start, hitting wideout Montrell Flowers deep for a 54-yard touchdown on the Longhorns' fifth play from scrimmage.
Cavil added a 78-yard touchdown on a first-quarter catch-and-run off a quick slant. The play gave the Longhorns a 21-7 lead.
The early touchdowns stunned Stanford, said Cardinal coach Tyrone Willingham.
"I was concerned about the first few minutes of the game." Willingham said. "They were able to surge and surge and surge. If you combine their ability with our errors, you have a very volatile situation."

Comets start WNBA dynasty
HOUSTON — The WNBA has a dynasty before it had two championship teams.
The Associated Press
"When you win three in a row, I think that's taking a step." Houston coach Van Chancellor said, the WNBA trophy gleaming in front of him, after the Comets beat New York 59-47 Sunday to win their third straight WNBA title in the third year of the league's existence. "It doesn't get any better than this."
With their 2-1 series victory against the Liberty, the Comets join the NBA's Lakers, Celtics and Bulls as the only pro basketball teams to grab three consecutive league championships.
"It was a long road," series MVP Cynthia Cooper said. She topped the
Comets on Sunday with 24 points.

"It has been extremely tough to stay focused and to
Cooper's mother died in the past year. Then her best friend on the
stay motivated through Kim's sickness and my mom's illness and throughout the different things that have happened," she said. "I really wanted to leave the problems on the outside and focus on the task at hand on the court."
NEW YORK
LIBERTY
Cooper was just 1-for-10 from the field in a 68-76 loss Saturday. She hit Houston's first shot Sunday, then
helped the Comets break it open in the second half. She finished 13-of-15 from the foul line to take her third series MVP in as many years.
league MVP, insisted it was too early to talk about dynasties.
For the playoffs, she averaged 20 points, four rebounds and almost seven assists.
The Liberty closed to 38-13 before Tina Thompson broke Houston's scoreless steak and started a 10-0 run for a 48-31 lead with 4:28 to play. Thompson also had a jumper and a three-point play for seven of the 10 points.
"We just couldn't get anything to drop for us," said Sue Wicks, the only Liberty player in double figures with 11 points. "Our defense was strong, I felt, but to win this game you have to put some points on the board."
Cooper, who led the league in scoring this season and is a two-time
"We just want to enjoy this championship," she said.
The title was the first for Houston without Perrot, the spunky point guard whose presence hovered over the team and Compaq Center. Fans chanted her name and carried signs with her name and picture and jersey No.10.
"If you don't think the spirit of Kim Perrot is not alive in the Comets' world right now, you're dead wrong," Chancellor said. "I thought all along that 12 Comets pulling together would be hard to beat because she's still on this team."
Capriati explains past arrests after loss
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Jennifer Capriati spoke of her teen-age rebellion and confusion as she sought to close the door on her past. Yet she revealed how fragile she remains, leaving the U.S. Onen once again in tears.
An hour after losing to Monica Seles 6-4, 6-3 in the fourth round yesterday, Capriati began a news conference by reading a statement she wrote before the tournament and saved until she was finished.
"I know there is much mystery, much question to what happened, and I must also say many lies," the 23-year-old player said of the collapse of her career in 1993, her subsequent arrests on shoplifting and drug possession charges, and her rehabilitation.
"Yes, I made mistakes by rebelling, by acting out in confused ways," she said, taking deep breaths as she read. "But it was all due to the fact I was very young, and I was experiencing my adolescence. Most of you know how hard that can be. When you do it in front of the world, it is even harder."
Capriati added that this would be the last time she speaks about the past, and asked the media to respect her wishes to stay away from the subject.
Then in response to questions about her statement, she said she wrote it because she was tired of all the questions about her past.
Until that point in the long news conference, Capriati kept her composure, talking about her statement, her "self inflicted" problems and the match with Seles.
Then she was asked, "Do you still see the media as your adversary?" Capriati hesitated, then broke off and began sobbing uncontrollably.
She had left tournaments in tears before — the U.S. Open in 1992 after losing in the third round and the Australian Open in 1993 after losing in the quarters, among others. She spoke of being stronger than in those days, being able to keep things in perspective, yet she remains in some ways as fragile as ever.
Rain, tears disrupt play at U.S. Open
The Associated Press
NEWYORK — Marcelo Rios left the U.S. Open in defeat and Jennifer Capriati left in tears. Jana Novotna left tennis altogether.
Novotna, who won the 1998 Wimbledon title, said Monday she would finish this year's tournaments, but this would be her last year as a player.
In addition to Novotna's announcement, play at the U.S. Open also was disrupted by rain.
In between the showers, Nicolas Escude of France became the first qualifier in the Open era to reach the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open, upsetting the 10th-seeded Rios 6-2, 6-3, 7-5.
Also moving into the quarterfinals was No.2 Andre Agassi, who breezed past Arnaud Clement of France 6-4, 6-4, 6-3.
Among the women, No. 4 Monica Seles and No. 7 Serena Williams also moved into the quarters. Seles brushed aside the past in beating Capriati 6-4, 6-3, and Williams stumbled past
No. 16 Conchita Martinez 4-6, 6-2,
6-2.
Rios was unable to solve Escude's game.
Williams joined older sister Venus in the quarters. Serena struck 45 winners to just seven for the Spanish veteran, but tempered that with 52 unforced errors, more than double that of her opponent. She plays Seles next.
With mist briefly halting play several times, Seles dominated from the baseline, erasing any
notion that this would be a repeat of the last time she and Capriati got together at the U.S. Open.
In 1991, Capriati came within two points of victory before Seles won the last five points of the third-set tiebreaker.
This time, the fourth-seeded Seles kept Capriati deep on the baseline. She hit 21 winners to 13 for Capriati.

Sought-after guard eyes Kansas
Jayhawks make recruit's first cut schedule visit
Shooting guard DeShawn Stevenson, of Fresno, Calif., narrowed his list of 80 potential colleges to 10 this past week, and Kansas made the cut.
By Amy Train sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Stevenson, who was listed at No. 3 of ESPN Sportzone's top-50 recruiting prospects, has scheduled his first in-home visit with Kansas on Sept. 7.
The Three R's REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE
The other nine schools remaining on Stevenson s list are Duke, Fresno State, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Connecticut, UCLA, St. John's and San Diego State. Stevenson will have trimmed his list to seven by the end of September, said Larry Trigueiro,
on his college selection, Stevenson is getting ready to start his senior year of basketball at Washington High.
"Once he narrows it down to the seven, they will have to go at it all year." Triguiro said. Saquero said he had heard.
Stevenson's high school coach.
Stevenson said he had no plan of signing earlier and was holding out until coming
Trigueiro said that Stevenson liked Kansas' coaching staff and tradition and that the coaching staff was pertinent to Stevenson's selection.
"Kansas has a great coach, great program and usually gets into the NCAA tournament every year." Stevenson said.
"He is trying to do it with class," Trigoireo said. "He doesn't want to leave a bad taste in the mouth."
Once Stevenson narrows the list to seven, he eventually will cut it to five, then three and finally one. He will choose three distant schools and two closer to home once he knocks the list to five.
Stevenson is focused on winning a second consecutive state title for his team. Only three schools in California have won
Stevenson and his coach are
"He is a 'win first' type of dude," Trigueiro said. "You very rarely catch him talking about college in a team situation."
faxing information on his selection directly to the schools.
Stevenson is scheduling
Stevenson does have personal goals, as well. He is out to break state scoring and assist records. He also hopes to break his own school's scoring record. Stevenson has started every game except one since he has played at Washington and will be the second player in the history of the school to play varsity basketball all four years.
back-to-back state championships.
Stevenson led Washington to the California Division III title, averaging 25 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists per game last season.
Stevenson said if he came to Kansas he could contribute good defense, add more to the offense and try to show leadership on the court.

Brown Bear wakes from hibernation
City Commission grants new license
（USPS 650-640）
By Katie Hollar
sy Katie Hollar
Kansan staff writer
writer@kansan.com
The Brown Bear is back.
The Brown Bear is a bear.
After three weeks of negotiations and paltry peanut policies, the Brown Bear Brewing Co., 729 Massachusetts St., has been cleared to reopen. Last night, the Lawrence City Commission voted 5-0 to reinstate the brewery's license.
The license expired Aug. 20 and was not renewed when it was discovered that the brewery was not in compliance with the city's C-3 zoning regulation.
The regulation, passed by the commission in 1994, mandates that new drinking establishments in the downtown area make at least 55 percent of their gross receipts from food sales. The brewery is one of 11 businesses under the jurisdiction of the ordinance;
previously established businesses are exempt from this requirement.
The commission heard from a representative of the brewery and from several Brown Bear supporters.
Daniel D. Covington, attorney for the Brown Bear, presented the commission with a four-page business strategy to comply with the code.
three main initiatives are discussed in the plan: adjusting the menu, expanding kitchen hours and targeting food sales in advertising. In addition, the Brown Bear owners will track food and beverage sales monthly, retain a professional consultant and present Mike Wildgen, city manager, with quarterly progress reports.
Covington acknowledged that the brewery owners had made rookie mistakes.
"I don't think we've shown proper respect to the city and their ordinances," he said.
Timothy Burger, vice-chair of KU College Republicans, presented the commission with a petition backing the Brown Bear. KU College Republicans
collected 727 signatures in front of Wescow Hall last week.
"We should all work toward making sure this place stays in business," Burger said.
Michelle Miller, a Lawrence resident and regular patron of the Brown Bear, also spoke on the brewery's behalf.
"The Brown Bear is an up-and-coming establishment that should be supported by the city, rather than to be forced out of business by the application of a vague and questionable city ordinance." Miller said.
A short-lived and discarded plan to sell peanuts with every beer was not discussed. Owners had planned to claim that 55 cents of every dollar went toward the peanuts—thus, 55 percent in food sales.
"I'm really glad the word 'peanuts' has not come up," said Commissioner David Dunfield.
Commissioner Marty Kennedy motioned to renew the brewery's license. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Jim Henry and was accepted in an unanimous vote.
Before the vote, Mayor Erv Hodges issued a warning to the Brown Bear's proprietors.
"You are a brewery, but you have to be an eating establishment, too." Hodges said. "If you don't meet that, you will fail."
Although the liquor license was reinstated, another obstacle remains. In order to retain its sidewalk dining license, the Brown Bear must make 70 percent of its receipts from food sales: a formidable task when 55 percent was not met.
"We're fully capable of meeting 55 percent," Covington said. "We're actually going to be shooting for 70 percent."
A hearing on the revocation of the sidewalk dining license will occur at the Sept. 14 commission meeting.
Brown Bear co-owners Shawn Schlegel and Ryan Rodenburg said they were relieved at the Commission's decision, but a lot of work was still ahead.
"We can't be shut for 21 days and just come back," Schlegel said.
come back, Schinger said.
Rodenburg was more optimistic.
"We'll be open Thursday," he said. "I'm confident of that."

Scholarship Hall parking in Blake lot revoked
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
By Michael Terry
By Michael Terry
Watkins and Miller Scholarship Halls were notified yesterday in a meeting with the KU Department of Student Housing that the Blake Hall parking permits they received at the start of the year would have to be returned.
would have to Nicole Kirby, Lansing senior and Watkins proctor, said she learned at 4 p.m. Tuesday that the 12 parking permits sold to both scholarship halls would be revoked. She said Zora Mulligan, Watkins Hall director and West Plains, Mo., graduate student had informed hall residents in a letter after attending the meeting.
Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking services, said that the problems started when the department received a call Friday from a professor at Blake Hall who said he was upset with the parking situation in KU lot 15 behind the building.
"Don Kearns, the parking director, has been looking into the situation all day, but as far as I know no decision has been made on what to do," Hultine said. "Originally, we thought allotment of the 12 spaces to the two scholarship halls
"Neither the parking or housing departments told us that they had any plans to take away our permits," Kirby said. "We paid $150 for each parking permit, and we don't think it's right for them to try to take them away."
wouldn't be a problem, but Blake Hall's construction has put an added pressure on the parking lot."
Kirby said that last semester some students who lived at Miller Scholarship Hall kept a daily journal of how many parking spaces were empty. After they gathered the information, they presented it to the parking department. After gathering its own numbers, the department concluded that giving the 12 spaces to the scholarship halls was a good idea, she said.
Hultine said the intent behind the 12 parking spaces was good and was meant to help out the scholarship hall students, and that the problems the parking lot was facing now were unforeseen.
"It's not just like we're losing a closer
place to park, but it is also safety issue," Kirby said. "A lot of the residents don't like to walk up from the scholarship hall parking lots because they don't feel safe, and now we won't have a choice."
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said that he was not aware of the scholarship halls having to give up their parking spaces, but he said he would look into the matter.
Kirby said no date had been specified by the housing department for when the parking permits would have to be returned.
"I'm not really sure what our next move is going to be, but I think were planning to visit the legal aid services at KU and see if they can really take away permits that we already own," Kirby said.

Dole Institute examines NATO in conferences
By Chris Borniger
writer @kanson.com
Kansan stuff write
Kansas' role in international politics and economics will be one of many topics of discussion this weekend at the latest symposium sponsored by the Dole Institute.
Burdett Loomis, interim director of the Dole Institute and professor of political science, said the primary goal of the conference was to address NATO's history and development.
NATO: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow," a three-day conference celebrating the 50th anniversary of the founding of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, will feature present and former NATO administrators, business representatives as well as professors from universities around the nation.
"Although we're marking the 50th anniversary, in many ways we're looking forward to NATO's role in the future and how we, in the middle of the country, can relate to that development," he said.
The symposium will end Saturday at Johnson County Community College.
On Friday the conference will be at the Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. The topic will be "NATO: Security and the New Europe."
one conference, organized at a cost of $45,000 from various academic departments at the University of Kansas, convenes tomorrow at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth. The focus will be Ukraine's relationship with NATO.
"We obviously live in an integrated global economy, and it's important to understand the challenges we face and the opportunities that exist." Ranson said. "Hopefully we can come away realizing that whether you're in Kansas or Kiev, there are goals we share."
Charles Ranson is president of Kansas Inc., a Topeka-based economic research institution, which is co-sponsoring the conference. He said he supported the conference because of international factors that affected Kansas economics.

scott Valler, technology coordinator for the Kansan, said the power outage initially affected a small number of computers used to produce the newspaper. A University facilities and operations crew, concerned about overloading the building's other transformers, shut off all power shortly after 5:30 p.m.
A broken transformer in the basement of Stauffer-Flint Hall plunged the University Daily Kansan newsroom and the entire building into darkness for nearly three hours Tuesday night.
"The question is because there's some damage, can we turn it on without doing any more damage?" Valler said.
Darkness doesn't stop newspaper's daily production
By Clay McCuistion writer @kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The power was partially restored at 8:20 p.m.
The power was partially restored at 8:20 p.m. "They are going out of their way to help us get the newspaper out," said Tom Eblen, general manager of the Kansan.
The staff was given about four hours to complete work on today's Kansan. During that time, the facilities and operations crew, led by Randy Samuels, worked on moving a new transformer into Stauffer-Flint.
"I have complete faith in our staff working through this adversity," said Kansan editor Julie Wood.
The transformer couldn't be hooked up until work on the paper finished in the early morning hours.
"The building's probably going to be dead at 7 a.m." Valler said. "Even if people come in for classes, there won't be air conditioning."
Valler predicted power could be returned by 10 a.m.
Gary Weishaar, assistant director of engineering for facilities and operations, said the six transformers in the Stauffer-Flint basement were probably installed in the early 1960s.
Wishhaar said the nearly 40-year-old single-phase transformer most likely blew because of its age.

SenEx passes resolution against evolution policy
The University Senate Executive Committee unanimously passed a resolution urging the Kansas State Board of Education to rescind its recent decision on teaching evolution
Rather than getting entangled in the religious and social aspects of the evolution debate, the resolution condemned the board's action to make evolution and scientific theories about the origins of the universe optional solely on the basis that it would leave Kansas students ill-prepared for university science programs.
SenEx members said that was the wav they wanted it.
"It is not the case of thought-to-be elite universities telling local schools what to teach," said Peter Gegenheimer, a SenEx member and associate professor of molecular biosciences. "We're saying, 'You don't need to believe this, but you need to know what people say.'"
At the request of student body president Korb Maxwell, SenEx amended the resolution to urge local school boards to keep teaching scientific theories on evolution and the origins of the universe despite the state board's decisions.
The resolution will now be forwarded to University Council, which will take up the issue at its monthly meeting tomorrow.

Study Abroad Club to hold first meeting
While most administrators and recruiters focus on welcoming and retaining students, the Office of Study Abroad tries to send students away.
It will hold is first meeting of the year today at 5 p.m. at the Kansas Union on the fourth floor.
One tool the office uses in its quest is the Study Abroad Club, which is now in its fourth year.
Club members participate in monthly activities and meetings, and the club is open to any student interested in studying abroad, who have studied abroad or are international students.
The club's activities are designed to give exchange students a chance to discover various aspects of American culture, said Beau Pritchett, study abroad coordinator.
Past activities have included a Halloween barn party, ice skating at Crown Center and a Spring Olympiad
Pritchett, a KU alumnus and former exchange student, strongly endorses the program.
"Study abroad gives students the opportunity to discover another culture," he said. "The experience gives the student a tremendous opportunity for personal growth."
The meeting follows a welcome party for exchange students and study abroad returnees at 4 p.m. at room 108 in Lippincott Hall.

Surgeon set to discuss volunteer experiences
The University Forum series will continue today at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave., with a speaker who has travelled to many war-torn countries and provided aid to those who needed reconstructive surgery.
Jeff Colyer, a physician at the International Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Center in Overland Park, will speak at noon today about his experiences, said Thad Holcombe, pastor at ECM.
"He's done an amazing number of volunteer things," Holcomb said. "He's going to talk about why and how you can go into different places and volunteer and do reconstructive surgery."
Colyer has visited Kosovo, Iran, Nicaragua and El Salvador in past years. Holcombe said Colyer also helped those injured in the embassy bombing in Nairobi, Kenya, last summer.
Colyer, along with being a doctor, has a degree in international relations and serves as a consultant for companies on how to deliver aid to countries.
Holcombe said he expected a good turnout from the University community.
"We would have liked to target more doctors however," he said.
Admission to the one-hour forum and beverages are free.
Next Wednesday, the ECM will host another University Forum titled "Science as Magic: Is Teaching of Science and Religion Compatible in the Classroom?" by Larry Martin, curator of the Museum of Natural History.

Lawrence police continue to investigate an incident involving counterfeit
Police continue probe into suspicious money
currency at Naismith Hall.
Police responded to a call on the morning of Sept. 4 at Pizza Hut, 2449 Iowa St. An employee said a suspicious-looking bill had been used to purchase a pizza the night before.
Between 10:56 and 11:06 p.m.
Sept. 3, an employee delivered a "New Yorker" pizza to Naismith Hall.
The delivery driver met a male in the parking lot who said he had ordered the pizza. He paid with a ten-dollar bill.
Upon inspection of the bill, it appeared smaller in length than standard currency and was missing the left border on the front, said Sgt. George Wheeler.
Police questioned the room number where the order was placed, but occupants said they hadn't ordered it. A false phone number also was used.
Bakery owner getting ready for re-opening
Joe's Bakery, 616 E. Ninth St., will open its doors today after a nine-month hiatus.
The 60-year-old bakery, a favorite of KU students for generations, has been closed since Thanksgiving break because of the owner's divorce proceedings.
Owner Ralph Smith said Joe's would be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Monday through Saturday.
Smith has added some new items to the menu, including breadsticks, cheesecake and cinnamon rolls.
"Those are pretty doggone good," he said, "I ate until I was sick."
However, he emphasized that Joe's signature items, egg salad sandwiches and hot glazed doughnuts, still would be available.
Smith said he was not sure what kind of crowd the re-opening would attract. He said it was difficult to predict how many pastries to prepare.
"All I know is, I'll come in and do the best I can," Smith said.
Motorist rips jewelry from KU student's neck
An argument between a female KU student and an irate motorist resulted in theft, Lawrence police said.
The student was crossing Louisiana Street when the driver of a passing car started yelling at her. The two argued about who had the right of way. As the dispute escalated, the driver exited the car and lunged at the student.
The driver yanked a necklace off the student's neck, got back into the car and drove westbound on Louisiana Street.
The hemp necklace was valued at $15, Stg. George Wheeler said.

CLAS will offer minors within two years
- By Amanda Kaschube
  writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas' largest academic division, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, is undergoing several changes that may allow its students and faculty more opportunities in the future.
The College Assembly meetings this semester will focus on minors and budget discussions. College students can join committees to discuss and vote on minors and the budget. The first assembly meeting is 4 p.m. Oct. 5 at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union.
The college has been toying with the idea of offering its students the chance to minor in subjects, instead of the previous
option of double majoring. The minor would easily fit into a student's four-year curriculum, said Sally Frost Mason, dean of the college.
"Two years ago we did a study, and we found a lot of student interest," she said. "In two years, every department in the college will have minors."
Frost Mason said the idea of minors had been proposed to the College Assembly, the governing body for the college, and it had been passed.
have minors," she said.
Students would take 18 to 24 credit hours in one area of interest to obtain their minor. Frost Mason said. She also said that the next step was to expand the minors outside the college classes.
"It's critical that we persuade professional schools to allow outside students to
Now, students within the college can obtain a psychology minor because psychology is within college boundaries. However, college students can't get a minor from the school of journalism or school of business.
James Gentry, dean of the school of journalism, said the idea of professional schools allowing college students to have minors would be something the faculty would decide.
Vernon Richardson, assistant professor of business, said he would support the idea of professional minors.
Another challenge facing the college is keeping and hiring more faculty for the college. Frost Mason said.
"I think it would be to their advantage," he said. "Liberal arts students could get a taste of professional schools. It could help them get an internship or a job later in."
life."
Frost Mason said that it had been hard to keep top professors at the University when they were offered more money at other schools.
"Since there is a lower cost of living in the Midwest, we tend to pay less for jobs," she said. "We are at a disadvantage with salaries."
Frost Mason said the college's 52 programs and professors had solid reputations compared to other top universities. The Spanish and Portuguese department, ecological biology, clinical psychology and the human development and family life departments are well-respected, she
said.
James Harwood, assistant professor of communication studies, said he thought some teachers would leave if pay were better, but that in some cases the University was on the side of teachers.
"The University tries to get pay raises for us," he said. "It's more to convince the state government to value education more and reward faculty members that do well."
The college's general use budget is $60 million, almost 30 percent of the University's total general use budget. To pay professors more, the budget needs to be increased.
"It would be great if we could be paid more," Harwood said. "In most cases, we're paid as much as the college can give."
Lazer format changes under fire
By Emily Hughey
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
The transition from modern rock to Top 40 at KLZR has not been as smooth as Zimmer Broadcasting had anticipated.
Protesters gathered yesterday outside of the Lazer and KLWN, 3125 W. Sixth St., with a boom box, some modern rock CDs and a 254 signature petition against the programming change at 105.9 FM.
Led by Bianca Babcock, Central Junior High student, the protest attracted 10 area residents objecting to the station's new format. Babcock, 15, said she put filers up.
around Lawrence, her school and campus advertising the event, which took place at 11 a.m. yesterday.
"We already have five Top 40 stations, and we don't need another one." Babcock said. "The Lazer brought all the good shows to town, and we won't have them anymore. We'll have the Backstreet Boys, and we don't like them."
Carrie Lindsey, 34 year-old Lawrence resident, said she was there to protest because she disliked the new music on KLZR and said she thought that the change was reflective of only a small segment of Lawrence and excluded both Kansas City and Topeka.
"They took information from a survey that came from the same men that, if you look at the political polls, are still whining about Reagan," Lindsey said. "I think it's just really short-sighted. It was bought by a larger radio market that's used to competing, and they didn't realize it already had a niche market."
Although neither the general manager nor the program director were available, the group requested to see Jason Marck, former morning disc jockey and current creative services director. Marck denied rumors of being fired as an on-air personality and said that the decision had been in the works for
months.
He said he thought the popularity of modern rock in Lawrence would suffer somewhat because of the decreased play time but that he was excited for the changes. Although Chad Elliot, program director, said last week that all the original shows would remain on the air, Markck he said wasn't certain that programs like the Local Lazer Music Show would last.
"It's just a situation where the company that owns us spent a lot of money on research and decided these changes needed to be made," he said. "But I'm honestly not even completely sure there will be many changes."
Midwest site for NATO conferences
Continued from page 1A
The conference will be the second time this year NATO officials have gathered in the Midwest.
In March, diplomats from multiple nations met in Kansas City, Mo., to celebrate the admission of three former Communist nations — Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic — into NATO. Representatives from those countries and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright signed the official documents of their admission at the Truman Library in Independence, Mo.
Paul D'Anieri, assistant professor of political science and a participant in some of the conference's forums, said the conference was particularly relevant to KU students.
"NATO is one of the most important
issues on the political agenda," he said.
"It's at the heart of the security issue. If NATO fails to prevent war, students would end up fighting it."
D'Anieri said the alliance also affected the economy because citizens paid taxes to pay for the national defense budget, some of which is used to support NATO.
Loomis said Kansas had been prominent in NATO history. Some soldiers and NATO personnel have been trained at Fort Riley and Fort Leavenworth, and NATO's first supreme commander
- Dwight D. Eisenhower — was a native Kansan. Businesses such as Boeing Co. have also supplied aircraft for NATO missions.
Tomorrow's and Friday's events are open to the public, but registration is required for Saturday's event.

■ New parking spaces at Robinson — Finally, more parking at Robinson. Now we won't have to walk so far to get to the treadmills... or classes.
FAIL
Stadium construction — The contractor needs more time, and the University extends the deadline. Maybe profs will reward students for late mid-term papers, but probably not.
■ Bookstores — Lack of textbooks has students and instructors angry. Shouldn't they have this process down to a science by now? Upside: You can't be expected study if you don't have books.
- Lack of air conditioning — McCollum's AC breaks down, while some scholarship halles never had it. Nobody expects student housing to be the Ritz, but AC is part of life in the United States in 1999.
- Long lines at Mrs. E's — if John Belushi and the gang were KU students, the solution would be easy: FOOD FIGHT. Nah, if the lines are too long, just hit Burrito King instead.

Off-campus safety takes cooperation
Efforts to improve campus safety, including lighting and blue phones, should be applauded. More effort should be put into making areas adjacent to campus safer.
This requires cooperation between the University and the city, since these areas are not owned by the University. Adding blue phones would be difficult financially because the University would have to pay monthly line charges for using Southwestern Bell's system, said John Mullens of the security and emergency planning department. Also, private property in these residential areas makes repair work complicated, said Mike Wildgen, Lawrence city manager.
Yet areas such as Ohio and Louisiana streets tend to be dominated by stu
The University, Lawrence and students should team up
dents, because they often live and travel on them. Thus, safety issues like adequate lighting should be a concern for students and the University.
According to Wildgen, the city and University have joined forces for projects as lighting the intersection of 15th Street and Engel Road. The KU Public Safety Office also has jurisdiction over some off-campus regions. This type of cooperation should continue. Furthermore, the University should continue to seek areas to improve safety for students on campus and near campus.
Students also need to get involved. If we fail to express safety concerns to the University or the city, we can't expect the situation to improve. For instance, members of the scholarship halls have started working with city and University officials to find solutions to safety concerns in and around Alumni Place.
To really see change off campus, it is as much our responsibility as students to make suggestions as it is the University's and city's responsibility to make reasonable efforts to improve safety in these neighborhoods.
If you do not speak up about feeling unsafe near campus, as you would on campus, you can't expect to feel safer walking down a dark street near campus next time.

... if he passed away, fact is, there's been talk about "what if." My uncle asked him not long ago what's the one thing he wanted to do before he died. No dream too big, no price too much — that was the offer.
He didn't say that he wanted to go on a cruise or that he wanted to drive a new car. Instead, he said he wanted to go to an air show.
An air show? My grandpa raised eight children, served in World War II, worked as a chemist, and
his one dream was to go to an air show.
Jimmy wore his new $40 Nikes on the first day school, perhaps with a bigger smile than the last year's first day. He wouldn't wear them home from the department store — he didn't want to get them dirty — but he wore them later.
A pair of new shoes made Jimmy happy.
Sometimes, it's the little things.
A Trinity Academy high school senior also surprised me. Nicole Wells earned a perfect score on both the SAT and ACT, obviously spring boarding her chances for getting into the college she wants. Guess which school is on her list? Yes, the University of Kansas, among others. But that wasn't what surprised me. Nicole wants to go to college, but then she wants to go into missionary work. Instead of using her talents for monetary gain or personal glory, she wants to help others. Nicole stayed up late the night before she took the ACT, but she wasn't studying. She was watching a movie. Even for this scholar, there's enjoyment found in simple pleasures. The University of Kansas would be lucky to get her
So, last weekend, two of my uncles drove their sons and our grandpa to Lincoln, Neb., for an air show. My uncle made special arrangements, including tours and VIP tickets. Grandpa spent the day staring at the sky, sun in his eyes and smile on his face. That was all he wanted.
I guess I never expected my grandpa to want to do something too extravagant. He's a simple person and he's always led a fairly simple life. He made the one memory that he really wanted to make.
Whether or not a person lives a high-maintenance or low-maintenance life is a characteristic that can't be changed. I think it is something people develop as children that they continue their whole lives. It's just that rest of us don't stop to realize it until those people are old. Then, we call them wise.
Last week, I heard two stories about young people who cherish the simple pleasures in life. One is a fifth grader, the other is a high school senior. Today, I'm calling them wise.
Just when you think you know someone, he or she does something to shock you. I hope I have friends who can say that about me. And I hope I never forget that sometimes it's the little things that can make a person smile or have a better day.
Jimmy began school at a Wichita elementary school on Monday. His mother was afraid that
the young boy would have to start school without any shoes. His sneakers from last year wouldn't do and his summer sandals weren't proper for playing at recess. His mother called social services, but there was no guarantee how fast they could work.
My mom, the principal of Jimmy's school, decided that she'd just take him out and buy him new shoes herself. So his mother got him ready, and my mom picked him up. She told Jimmy that he could pick out any pair of shoes he wanted, as long as they were functional for school and outdoor activities. Then she told him, "Even Nike, Adidas or another name brand." He'd never had name-brand shoes before.
That's what the little things do for my grandpa, Jimmy and Nicole.

Moby's latest album, "Play," is an absolutely brilliant submission to the hallowed halles of music. On "Play," Moby takes the tools of electronica, transfuses them with a large jolt of the blues and uses them to compose achingly beautiful sonic tapestries.

One of my roommates owned a copy of "Play." I listened to it so much that I became addicted to it and my former roommate got sick of it.
Violent Femmes and Moby were playing. The Violent Femmes are an old standby; you can't go wrong with them. Moby happens to be my latest musical obsession.
I have an acquaintance — we'll call him Bernard — who composes techno music. He claims that techno as a genre will soon render all other forms of music obsolete.
But Bernard is wrong. There's one thing he isn't considering; the reason why we have music.
Music has to speak to us if it wants to remain in our collective memory. It's saying that it wants to hold our hand. It's asking the universe why its heart feels so bad. It's affirming that, yes, it is going to stand by its man. It's lamenting that faces are lonely when you're alone.
Music sings our fears. It sings our joys. It sings our tears. It sings our riotous laughs. It sings our hates. And it sings our loves.
Ah, love. But that's another column entirely.
And the best pieces of music are those that cradle emotion in each and every note, whether it's Mozart's "Serenade No. 10 in B-flat Major" or Simon and Gunkfeln's "The Boxer," whether it's Wagner's "Overture to Tannhauser" or Natalie Merchant's "My Skin."
But Berhard is wrong. There's one thing he isn't considering; the reason why we have music. Techno as a genre is unemotional. It's cold, calculating, mechanical.
Techno never can revolutionize music, unless it first revolutionizes itself. Techno has the perfect bionic body, so to speak, but to take over the musical universe as Bernard thinks it will, it must give itself a soul.
For our species, though, music has since its genesis been a way to channel our emotions. We've used music to express fear in the face of a complicated universe. We've used music to express joy at the fact we exist at all. We've used music to praise our gods and pacify our demons. We've used music to sing our triumphs and our defeats, our sadnesses and our delights, our loves and our hates.
Which is why Moby's "Play" works so well.
Each note is infused with soul. Each note lives.
For any musical work to be memorable, for any musical work to, well, work, it must touch us deeply. It must convey the emotion that is in each and every one of us.
We as humans are wrought with emotion. And we have an inherent need to express that emotion, lest we burst.

Kansan should be fair to parking department
Feedback
Unfortunately, the UDK has once again contributed to the stereotypes associated with the parking department. Historically, the UDK has used the parking department for a convenient "whipping boy." We understand that we are a target for cheap shots; in fact, we are not naive as to how the university community views us.
However, we have always worked hard to dispel the
image students have of us. This is not to suggest that ticketing will go away. We are all adults here, and as adults it is expected that we will follow the rules. Violators will always exist, for that is the nature of the beast.
We understand the stress students face when getting ready for the start of a new school year, and so we did not ticket any students during the first week for not having a permit in Yellow or Residence Hall lots. This was not, as termed by your paper, "overzealous ticketing."
The department has increased parking for students. Lot 90, behind Robinson Gym is an example. Over 200 stalls have been added to help out a crowded situation in a very popular lot. All we request is that you give us the courtesy of checking the facts first before publishing information about us.

Historic Lawrence hotel to expand
By Derek Prater
Kansan staff writer
A symbol of rebirth for the Lawrence community soon may be reborn once again.
Like the phoenix on the City of Lawrence seal and like the city itself, the Eldridge Hotel has risen — repeatedly — from the ashes. It has become one of Lawrence's most historic buildings.
Rob Phillips, general manager of the hotel, announced plans yesterday to create a four-star hotel with an expansion to the south and west that would cost between $15 million to $18 million.
Phillips said that for the hotel to truly prosper, it needed to add a substantial number of rooms and sufficient parking.
"The Eldridge Hotel is the crown jewel of historic downtown Lawrence," Phillips said. "We intend to keep it that way for the next century and beovond."
Although the plan is only in the conceptual stage, Phillips said he anticipates that the expansion could add as many as 150 rooms to the existing 48 suites, as well as meeting rooms, a ball room, a larger restaurant and an exercise facility.
The plan also includes a multi-level parking structure that would be built on the city lot on the southeast corner of Seventh and Vermont Streets and the vacant building at 714 Vermont St., which is south of the city lot. The structure could have shallow retail store fronts along Vermont Street and at least 300 parking spaces for the public and hotel guests, Phillips said.
Phillips presented initial plans to the city yesterday, but city manager Mike Wildgen said that a lot of work was needed before the city would begin considering the plan.
"He has got a lot of hoops to go through," Wildgen said. "He has a great idea, but it's very preliminary."
Wildgen said that the first step that the city would take would be a review of actual design plans by the Historic Resources Committee. Right now there are no design plans. Phillips said that he wanted to emphasize that the architecture of the expansion would enhance the integrity of the building, which was placed on the National Historic Register in 1986.
A new entity, the Eldridge Hotel, L.L.C., has been formed to acquire the hotel, the vacant lot and the land for the parking structure and oversee the construction. Phillips said he anticipated that a professional hotel management company might take a minority position in the hotel.
The group is looking at financing alternatives including tax-increment financing, industrial revenue bonds and city money for the parking structure. Phillips said.
If all goes as planned, the addition will be finished within the first year or two of the new millennium. Phillips said that he thought the project would take 12 to 18 months to complete.
The Eldridge's stately design and accoutrements speak to the historic value of the site and building. The Free State Hotel was completed May 21, 1856 and burned that same day by Sheriff Jones, and the Eldridge House was burned during William Quantrill's infamous raid, Aug. 21, 1863.

Writer's Roosts reopen after busy first year
Drop-in centers had 2,000 visits last school year
By Clay McCusition
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The KU Writer's Roosts will begin another year of helping students write better on Sept. 27.
The free, drop-in writing centers provide peer-based assistance with brainstorming, topic selection, organization and proofreading. This year the roosts will be located in Wescoe and Templin Halls, Sunday through Thursday evenings.
The program logged more than 2,000 visits in the 1998-99 school year, its first year of operation.
Michele Eodice, assistant
director of the KU Writing Center, began the program. She said she hoped more students would use the service in the new school year.
"We would like to have students include us in their writing lifestyle," Eodice said. "People are recognizing the value of feedback in writing."
Last year, tutors for the program were trained in a rigorous three-day workshop. That initial education was supplemented with weekly meetings. This year, Eodice teaches a semester-long class for prospective tutors.
She said students tutoring students had distinct advantages.
"Peers are able to work with peers in different ways. We provide a supplemental experience," Eodice said. "Once people came the first time they were very likely to return."
Although feedback has been
"We have graduate students and faculty seeking help with their dissertations. I have even asked for help with writers block."
Diana Carlin Interim associate provost of academic affairs
positive, Eodice said verifying the program's success was problematic.
"It's difficult to say that what we do leads to a better grade, or directly to a higher GPA," she said. "I'm always thinking of ways to reveal the benefits of what we do."
Diana Carlin, interim associate provost of academic affairs.
oversees the KU Writing Center. She said the Writer's Roost program was valuable for the University.
"Everyone can always improve on their writing," Carlin said. "The people working at the Writer's Roosts know what instructors expect when they assign writing assignments."
Writers of every skill and grade level use the program, she said.
"We have graduate students and faculty seeking help with their dissertations," Carlin said. "I have even asked for help with writers block."
Jan Holliday, Great Bend graduate student, tutored in the program last year and is now enrolled in Eodice's class. She will be one of the 15 tutors going to work when the roosts reopen.
"It's very rewarding to help a student go through the process of brainstorming, coming up
with an idea and then distilling it down to an essay," Holliday said. "There's a really strong mentorship quality in what we do."
Although the Writer's Roosts aren't open yet, the writing center is taking appointments for help. Holliday said she had her hands full.
"We're swamped so far. Apparently the word is out," she said.
Seungyeon Lee, Seoul, South Korea senior, is just beginning her training as a tutor in Eodice's class.
"I especially want to help brainstorm before they actually go through the writing process," Lee said. "Writing is not for perfection, it's for processing."
If students do well in the class, they may intern for the program during the fall and be hired as paid tutors for the spring semester.

East Timorese flee homeland in fear
The Associated Press
DILI, Indonesia — Driven by fear, killings and army gunfire, East Timorese jammed onto ships and into trucks yesterday as their homeland sank further into chaos behind them. With an estimated 30,000 people having fled the provincial capital in the past few days, the streets of the city were empty save for looters and smoldering fires.
The international lens focused more closely on the war-ravaged territory yesterday, with officials from the World Bank, White House and Vatican urging a halt to the shooting rampages and terror that erupted last week when East Timorese voted to break away from Indonesia.
While leaders from East Timor, Australia, New Zealand and other nations pushed harder for an international peacekeeping force to intervene, the U.N. Security Council said yesterday such talk was premature. Council members said first they wanted to hear back from five U.N. ambassadors sent to Indonesia to persuade President B.J. Habibie to rein in his military
— said by witnesses to be orchestrating the carnage along with anti-independence militias.
The group, led by Namibia's U.N.
"They're going to make their own assessment of the extent to which the Indonesians are willing and capable of living up to their... security commitments," said Canada's U.N. Ambassador Robert Fowler.
"People are being killed en masse," she said. "The U.S. can stop this in a minute if they applied serious pressure on Indonesia. Every hour they wait is more people killed."
The Etc.
Shop
One election observer said she overheard Indonesia military officials on the radio as they ordered militias to set up roadblocks and pull U.N. observers out of their vehicles and execute them. Kristin Sundell of the East Timor Action Network said it was imperative that the United Nations send troops to East Timor.
The increasingly powerless Indonesian government imposed martial law, which includes the authority to search without warrants, a curfew to keep people off the streets and the shooting on sight of people who go against the curfew, said Foreign Minister Ali Alatas. The restrictions went into effect Tuesday.
Ambassador Martin Andjaba, was slated to arrive this morning.
Indonesia's Defense Minister
Gen. Wiranto rejected the possibility of allowing armed peacekeepers into East Timor.
In Geneva, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson urged the commission to consider holding a special session on East Timor. The commission has held three such sessions in the past, on the former Yugoslavia in 1992 and 1993 and on Rwanda in 1994.
Witnesses said the military was working in full cooperation with the militias, overseeing attacks and forcing thousands of people to march toward Dill's port and board boats bound for elsewhere in Indonesia. However, a spokesman for Indonesia's U.N. Mission in New York painted another picture.
"The fact is that many people would like to leave East Timor because of the situation and (the soldiers are) helping them," Tatang Razak said. "Now what is happening in East Timor is exodus. So I don't think the Indonesian military is forcing people to go out."
That wasn't the description from inside the U.N. compound, where more than 2,300 refugees and local workers were holed up without electricity or phones as gunshots crackled outside. People inside described being shot at by soldiers and police.
"There were thousands of people at the dock and more arriving in columns on foot with Indonesian soldiers forcing them at gunpoint and firing above their heads," said an East Timorese man, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The United Nations estimates that 150,000 to 200,000 people have become refugees in East Timor in the days since the election.
the day's since the establishment East Timor's spiritual leader, Bishop Carlos Belo, fled after militias aided by troops attacked his refugee-filled compound and burned his home in Dili on Monday.
Speaking in Darwin, Australia, Belo said his people were unable to fight the waves of violence. He said the international community should have acted immediately to protect the people and that the East Timorese felt that they were no longer safe.
Many of Indonesia's top generals are loathe to give up East Timor, whose people voted last week in a U.N. supervised referendum to separate from Indonesia. The Indonesian army invaded East Timor in 1975 as it was gaining independence from Portugal. Many generals fear other restive provinces may be encouraged to break away if East Timor goes free.

Then and Now: The steam whistle
story by john audlehelm • photo by tara kraus
All choked up
KU employees work to restore historical 'Tooty-Toot'
Timeline
1 The University of Kansas installs the whistle to regulate class periods. Then-chancelor Frank强壮 sets a policy: "If the instructor isn't through when the whistle goes off, get up and go."
The shriek of the University's steam whistle has not resounded throughout the campus recently because of a clogged valve. Facilities operations is working to repair and upgrade the whistle.
The whistle is moved to the power plant behind Stauffer-Flint Hall so that it can be heard more clearly throughout the entire campus. 1 2 3

9 Silence falls across campus as Tooty-Toot fails to sound.
A
A University of Kansas tradition of 87 years has been silenced temporarily, but is making a comeback.
The University's steam whistle has not sounded for more than a week. Facilities operations is doing several repairs on the whistle and is also upgrading many of its parts. Bob Seiber, steamshop foreman at facilities operations, said the whistle should resume operation at the end of this week.
The whistle usually blows at 20 minutes after the hour on weekdays and 50 minutes after the hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays to signal the end of classes.
Charles Higginson, program associate in journalism, said he noticed the whistle acting strangely last week. During one blast, it seemed to be half on, and it blew for longer than it should have, he said.
"It it just sounded, oh, kind of wheezy—kind of like it was hoarse," Higginson said. George Cone, assistant director of mechanical systems at facilities operations, said dissolved solids
from the boilers clogging the valve were a major problem for the whistle.
Facilities operations recently changed chemical companies, Cone said, and the new chemicals are cleaning out the boilers. The cleaning process frees up dissolved solids, and the system needs time to flush them out, he said.
"It's just like washing your car with hard water," Cone said.
Cone cited other problems, including old air compressors and filters and an inadequate valve. The whistle blows at 175 pounds per square inch, and the current valve is only rated at 125 psi. Cone said.
Cone said that he wanted students to know facilities operations was working on the problem and that the whistle was important to the University.
"It'll be a whistle upgrade," he said.
"We're advancing. We're getting out
of the 1960s, and we're going to be operating in the 21st century.
"It just sounded, oh, kind of wheezy—kind of hoarse."
Kelly Kline, Overland Park sophomore, said she was more dependent on the whistle.
"Things change, and they're getting better," Cone said. "Believe it or not, if everybody will have a little bit of patience, we'll get the whistle back up," Cone said.
Ben Hutnick, Overland Park sophomore, said he had not noticed the whistle was down. He said that he didn't wait for the whistle to go to and from classes.
"I have actually noticed it," she said. "It helps me to know how much time I have to get to class."
Charles Higginson
Kline said she frequently forgot to wear a watch, so when she heard the whistle she simply hurried to class.
"I have a problem with time in that I ignore it," he said. "I'm not dependent on it as a signal that all
Program associate in journalism
activities are to come to a screeching halt—'screeching' in keeping with the deafening, shrill skriek of the whistle.
Hutnick said he recalled his first experience with the whistle very distinctly.
"Last year, I walked by it, and it scared the crap out of me," he said.
"It made me jump out of my pants, made me think a train was going to run over me."
Kline said she was not surprised by the whistle blast the first time she heard it. She said a friend had told her what it was for.
Cone said the whistle had been the cause of a number of near-accidents. Workers in the building sometimes do not realize the time, and the blast takes them off guard, he said.
Cone said that after serving in the Navy for 28 years, he was used to loud whistles.
"After coming off the ships, that whistle's small," he said.
The whistle has, save for a few hitches, faithfully

performed its duty for almost nine decades.
The popular plan was adopted in March 1912, despite the objections of "a few persons with nerves."
The idea of using the whistle to regulate class periods first appeared in the Kansan in February 1912.
the objections of a few persons with nerves.
"It is pointed out that the general University catalogue says not a word of Mt. Oread as a retreat for neurotics," the Kansas said in March 1912.
A breakdown in communication delayed the whistle operation for about a week. The Kansan said "Tooty-Toot" was on strike.
The whistle was blown off the roof a few years after its installation and a new whistle was temporarily used. It shrieked so badly that students demanded, and received, the return of Tooty-Toot.
In 1977, because of complaints that the whistle affected peoples' nerves, the University silenced the whistle on an experimental basis.
The whistle had its first serious breakdown in 1932, but it was repaired and continued to operate.
Valk said that despite his nostalgia, he enjoyed the silence.
The whistle blew again after 10 weeks, when students voted for its return.

MegaVision clears up plays

New technology increases views for 'Hawk fans

Kansas sportwriter
Kansas football fans and players now have the thing that was missing from last season — no, not a winning record— replay.
The new MegaVision board isn't the biggest, but it is the brightest addition to Memorial Stadium, part of the $12 million of renovations to the stadium this year. Almost one million lights comprise the Light Emitting Diode (LED) board, the biggest and one of the newest of its kind.
The screen is an LED, which provides a higher resolution than the Sony JumboTron board at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. It is one of five screens in use among colleges — Florida State, Virginia, Oregon and Louisville are the others — and is the biggest of the big screens. This is something its operator, Mike Lickert, is especially proud of.
"Until Arizona and Arizona State complete theirs later this fall, ours is the biggest, so it should be a great addition to the stadium," he said.
Lickert said that was because Sony had the market for large video boards first. And he pointed out that the resolution should more than make up for any size difference.
The board is 24 feet wide and 32 feet long, smaller but clearer than the board at Kauffman. The JumboTron may be the board that people are familiar with,but
"Ours is better than a Sony JumboTron,
so that's all I care about," Lickert said.
The clarity is improved because of the LED technology, which gives way to the cliché, "There's not a bad seat in the house." And there's not. Whatever is one the board can be seen clearly whether a person is standing in front of the board on the track, or sitting in a seat in the corner of the stadium.
"With the CRT (cathode ray tube) you would only be able to see color shifting if you stood on the sides of the board. If the sun was shinning on your board it didn't matter where you were, you couldn't see the board," Lickert said.
"It doesn't matter now. You can sit anywhere."
And the sound has improved as well.
And the sound has improved as well. Part of the $3 million board — which includes the board and the buttress that holds it — includes 24 speaker clusters, which are loud enough to be heard at the Community Mercantile, Ninth and Mississippi streets — more than two city blocks away.
But the most important part of the board is the replay aspect. Lickert said that most plays would be replayed once, good plays would get more than one replay — and the replays will not be limited to just Kansas plays.
"When we were trying out the sound earlier, the people in the neighborhood told us they could hear it pretty well," he said.
The speakers range in size from a normal house speaker, to horn-shaped speakers that are four feet wide, five feet tall and more than seven feet deep — stadium shaking sound.
"We're gonna show what happens during the game. if it happened and it was a good play, we'll show it," he said.
And that might attract Lakin Griffin to Kansas' game Saturday.
"I think it's pretty cool," said Griffin, Lawrence freshman. "I might have to buy tickets for the games now."
Midfielder 'Zippy' leads soccer team with heart
Kansan sportswriter
By Chris Wristen
Many see her as a short girl with pink hair and a pierced nose, but what they fail to realize is that she's more than a woman of small stature. Melissa Downing has a big heart.
100
Add her sense of humor and the Kansas women's soccer team has quite a character, one whom they lovingly refer to as "Zippy".
"I'm just a goof, just a complete idiot," Downing, a senior midfielder, with a laugh. "I find humor in almost everything. You have to laugh at yourself because life is too short to be taken too seriously."
It's that laid-back attitude that won her teammates and

lively and keeps things up."
She's happy to be at Kansas. The Southlake, Texas, native began her career at Texas Christian University, where she scored five goals during her freshman and sophomore seasons and helped her team earn a trip to the Western Athletic Conference tournament.
"I liked my school, but it was way too preppie," Downing said. "I couldn't really see myself there with my pink hair and all."
Although she liked playing in her home state, Downing was not comfortable with her environment.
Downing visited Kansas and found refuge. She discovered a team she loved and a campus that would accept her style.
"I came here and visited a couple times and saw how much fun the team was and
how cool they were." Downing said. "They were so friendly to me. They didn't even know me, and they were so nice to me, so I just wanted to be here and be a part of it."
Downing became a part of the team by using her personality to assume the role of emotional leader.
"I think my attitude is pretty good," Downing said. "I don't ever want to say anything on the field unless it's positive because negative doesn't help."
She's proven to be a spark plug for the Jayhawk offense, netting two goals so far this season, including one in Sunday's 3-0 shutout of Weber State.
"She really came through for us this weekend when we weren't playing well," Francis said.

Bradford set to be loud and proud as senior Jayhawk

"I'm going to try to get on Eric's nerves to push him, because he's a big factor for us," Bradford said.
Bradford: will inherit a leadership role on the men's basketball team.
Has Chenowith pushed back?
Has Chenowith pushed back? "Most definitely," Bradford said. "He's trying to make sure I'm doing the extra stuff."
Bradford has been a notorious vocal leader throughout his career, always talking, always motivating. Chenwith said that Bradford's leadership would help the team.
"At the end of last year we (the team) hinted as to who would need to step up," Chenowith said. "I think me and Nick can be good leaders, and I think Coach is confident we can lead the team."
And while history has proven that loud leaders make good leaders, Bradford is aware that his jawing can wear on people.
Vocal leadership is something Bradford prides himself on.
"I'm an emotional player, I like to be vocal," he said.
"I bet guys get tired of me talking, because I'm always doing it," he said. "Whether it's talking trash or getting us motivated, I'm doing it 24-7."
Hypocrisy evident with alcohol policy
But while the new MegaVision will be showing highlights, it is what will be going on in the new luxury boxes that I want all to think about.
The first home football game takes place at 6 p.m. this Saturday. New innovations at Memorial Stadium will be unveiled. Possibly the most exciting thing at Memorial since Baby Jay was mysteriously hatched at midfield in 1971.
Oh, one other thing. They have the right to sip on a beer during a football game, and you do not.
As you and I sit on the hard steel benches at Memorial Stadium watching the Jayhawks beat up on Division I-AA California State-Northridge, there will people living the good life in the "scholarship" suites. The difference between them and you — you paid $10 for your ticket and they paid up to $50,000 for theirs.
This is what dumbfounds me. Here, at the University of Kansas, where us young, impressionable students are supposed to learn the ways of the world, the University.
[Name]
The University has adopted this zero-tolerance, don't-even-think-about-alcohol policy on campus. But then comes the other side
world, the university is openly being hypocritical. The University is making it a case of the have's and the have-not's. They are permitting alcohol to only a fraction of fans in attendance.

of their mouth which tells us that as long as you've got the greenbacks, you can go ahead and have a drink or two. Just please tip your bartender, in this case the University, very well.
Student Senate has passed a resolution that condemns the University for allowing alcohol to be served in the James Naismith Society Room adjacent to Allen Fieldhouse and in the scholarship suites at Memorial Stadium. In the words of Partha Mazumdar, Pittsburgh graduate senator, "It is not the alcohol we desire, it is the hypocrisy we deplore."
I figured I'd better have a chat with some of these Senate types and see what their resolution was all about. I think Senate has made resolutions that have been rather senseless before. Like the time they made a resolution condemning tuna salad sandwiches. Alright, so that never happened. But I still wanted to see what they were going to do with their resolution.
I had a conversation with Korb Maxwell, student body president. Korb and I go way back, and he wasn't afraid of breaking it down for me.
"We went to the Chancellor with this, and he admitted to me that it was hypocritical. It sort of kills your argument when you both agree on the point," he said. "I'm pretty much powerless. Do we want to do something about it? I feel like I've done everything we can for now. I'm just sitting here waiting, trying to think of what to do next."
So Student Senate is against it. Your friendly neighborhood columnist Jonesey is against it. My question is, are you, dear reader, against it?
Maybe I'm making an issue out of a non-issue here. Is it okay with you that the rich get drinks while the rest get diet soda?
Do me a favor and help me conduct a poll here. The question: Does the alcohol policy bother you? E-mail me at sports@kansan.com, yell at me on campus, contact me via the psychic friends hotline for all I care. But I'd like to know what my readers think about this one.

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 4.
There's a new moon tonight, and the emphasis in your life is on work, work, work! There's simply no way around it, so don't even try. In fact, even a momentary lapse of attention could mess things up so badly you'd have to start over. No slack!
Taurus: Today is a 9.
Although there's plenty of love in the air, there may be a problem with the money. You might not have as much as you thought. Even if there's been a downturn, don't worry. What you've got is more valuable than what you've lost — by a long shot.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
There's going to be a surprise today. You can just about bet on that. But what is it? Well, that's the interesting part. A partner and possibly your home are involved. Planning on doing your autumn cleaning? No telling what you'll find!
Cancer; Today is an 8.
Today, the stuff you read will soak into your brain almost verbatim. Consequently, you shouldn't spend the day reading romantic novels, unless you're going to take a crack at writing them. Spend this time wisely. Hmmm. Come to think of it, you might be good at that.
Leo: Today is a 6.
Money is coming in today with hardly any effort on your part. Your biggest problem is to avoid spending it before you get any into the bank. Don't ask your sweetheart for help. You're two of a kind.
Virgo: Today is an 8.
Work is in the way of travel right now, but you can sure make some good plans. You can also draw up an agenda, and a person who you talk to soon may offer you a place to stay. Get serious about this idea and make it happen.
Libra: Today is a 5.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Pay attention to the details today. They could be kind of important. Also, keep information you overhear to yourself. There's no need to pass judgment yet. Just keep gathering data.
Sagittarius: Today is a 5.
A get-together with friends will be a relaxing way to spend the morning, and besides that, you could catch up on all the latest gossip. There's something new to chew on for a while, and it could affect your recent windfall profits.
Capricorn: Today is a 10.
Details are important today, so pay attention to them. If you're in a job you love, you'll do it perfectly without effort at all. If you're in a job you hate, well, maybe it's time to find a job you love.
Travel may be difficult today, considering it is a Wednesday, but if anybody could make it happen, you could. If not, how about taking a class? You'd ace it. It's easier to do business if you speak the language, by the way.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
Have you ever considered playing the stock market? If you don't have enough saved up to get a government bond, start stockpiling pennies. And, not a moment too soon. Real estate's your best investment now, but only take calculated risks.
Pisces: Today is a 5.
O
Don't get overexuberant today. If you spend too much time goofing off, you could get into trouble. Read "too much" as "any," and you'll be even closer to the truth. A critical person is watching you like a hawk, just to be supportive, of course. Make sure your performance is stellar.

Moroccan shatters his third world record
BERLIN, Germany — Morocco's Hicham El Guerrouj broke his third world record of the season yesterday night, shattering the 2,000-meter mark by more than three seconds at the ISTAF meet.
El Guerroju, running alone in the final two laps, was timed in 4 minutes, 44.79 seconds before a cheering crowd of about 30,000 at Olympic Stadium. The previous record of 4:47.88 was set by Nourdinede Morceli of Algeria at Paris in 1995.

GOLF
Golfer beats odds, sinks two holes-in-one
LONDON — English gopher Paul Chana has beaten odds of about 13 million-1 by making two holes-in-one in single round.
The 25-year-old amateur carded an ace, his first ever, on the 142-yard first at the Huntercombe Golf Course during a tournament a week ago.
"I was stunned; I was shaking," said Chana, who plays off a four handicap.
The excitement had hardly abated before he held his tee shot on the 179-vard 10th.
"With the first one, I was just flab-basted, he was quoted saying in yesterday's Mirror newspaper. "At the 10th, I walked on to the green and saw my ball sitting in the cup.
"I certainly felt like I'd won the lottery." he said, "It's unbelievable."
The Royal and Ancient, golf's world governing body, quotes odds of 42,952-1 for a golfer to score one ace in a lifetime. To do it twice in one round, you'd have to multiply those odds again — and add some.
The Hole-In-One Society estimated the odds at 13 million-1.
Despite the holes in-one, both at par- three holes, Chana only managed to place third in the competition.
PRO HOCKEY
Reichel to play in Czech if NHL's checks too low
PRAGUE, Czech Republic — Robert Reichel says he will play for a team in the Czech Republic rather than return to the NHL if he can't get the money he believes he deserves.
Reichel, who earned $1.7 million last season, has been seeking a multiyear contract for more than $3 million a season. He was traded to the Phoenix Coyotes by the New York Islanders in March.
Last month, Phoenix general manager Bobby Smith said Richelle wouldn't be playing for the Coyotes next season and that the team was open to reasonable trade offers.

Arrest warrant issued for former NBA player
CINCINNATI — An arrest warrant was issued for former NBA player Dontonio Wingfield after he failed to show for his sentencing yesterday.
Wingfield pleaded guilty June 7 to assaulting two suburban Cincinnati police officers during a fight last year at his girlfriend's apartment. He could get up to 18 months behind bars and a $5,000 fine.
Judge David Davis of Hamilton County Common Pleas Court ordered the arrest warrant.
The 25-year-old player spent four seasons in the NBA — one with Seattle and three with Portland. The Trail Blazers released him last year. In August 1998, Wingfield was visiting his girlfriend and got into a dispute. Police said he resisted arrest and broke a finger and tore tendons of one officer.

Volleyball team record falls to outside hitter in tourney
KU

By Shawn Hutchinson sports @kansas.com Kanson sportswriter
- It didn't take Amy Myatt very long into her junior campaign to rewrite the record books.
In fact, she didn't even know she was doing it.
Myatt, an outside hitter on the Jayhawks volleyball team, tied a school record this weekend when she recorded 27 kills in a four-game match against West Virginia University at the West Virginia Tournament in Morgantown, WVa. That number already surpassed her kill total for all of last season and was one of the reasons why the Jayhawks won the tournament. It was also the reason Myatt went home with the most valuable player award.
Myatt put the award on the desk in her room. She said she was still in shock.
"It was a big surprise because I didn't feel like I played good enough throughout the entire tournament to earn that honor," said Myatt, who added that during the match she had no clue that she was approaching the record, set by Cvindee Kanabel in 1993.
What is even more surprising is that no one else saw this coming. Myatt played in only 16 games last season, recording 22 kills, two aces, two assists, nine dives and three blocks. In her freshman year in 1997, Myatt played in only 15 matches.
Already this season, Myatt has picked up 11 kills in the season opener against the University of Missouri-Kansas City, eight kills against Oakland (Mich.) University and the 27-kill performance against West Virginia.
against West. "Girls certainly she showed us that she has the capability," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "As a coaching staff, we've been waiting for it to happen. We gave her the ball in a situation where she had to perform well, and she did."
One of the reasons the coaching staff was forced to wait was that Myatt suffered a stress fracture in her femur last season. The injury caused her to miss several matches in the second half of the season, which disappointed Myatt.
"It was frustrating," she said. "I'm not very good at being hurt. I don't think anybody is."
So far this season, Myatt said that she was healthy and that she has had no further problems with her leg.
"During the spring and the summer it's been strong, and I've been working really hard," she said. "It feels good so far, knock on wood."
The Jayhawks did a good job of knocking off their opposition last weekend. Kansas swept Maryland-Baltimore County and Oakland, and defeated West
Virginia, 3-1. With the win last Wednesday in the season-opener against UMKC, the Jayhawks' record now stands at 4-0 for the second straight season.
"We had a lot of success this weekend," Myatt said after she and seniors Amanda Reves and Mary Beth Albrecht were named to the all-tournament team. "But we know we have a lot to work on as well."

On Saturday, the Bears seemingly had the Boston College Eagles on the ropes in overtime. After Baylor quarterback Jermaine Alfred scored on a one-yard sneak that put the Bears within one point at 30-29, Baylor kicker Kyle Atteberry lined up for the point after what could have sent the game into a second overtime.
Atteberry, who only punted for the Bears last season before taking on the additional kicking chores this season, missed wide right.
The missed kick left first-year Baylor coach Kevin Steele in the unfamiliar place of analyzing a missed

"The snap was good, and the hold was good," Steele said. "(Atteberry) said he miss-hit it. He's an outstanding young man and a good kicker who has hit that 100 times."

The close game and Alfred's play (244 yards, two touchdowns) were both bright spots for the Bears on Saturday. But, Steele knows that his team must improve on aspects of the game such as stopping the run for Baylor's season to be successful. The Bears surrendered 350 yards rushing to the Eagles on Saturday.
"We played hard and had a great effort." Steele said. "We're not hanging our heads. The score's the ultimate thing, and we need to do a better job stopping the run. We need

Buffs weren't ready for
Colorado coach Gary Barnett was somber and pensive on Monday as he tried to sort through his troubled team's wreckage after the Buffaloes were slaughtered 41-14 by instate rival Colorado State Saturday at Denver's Mile High Stadium.

Unfortunately for Barnett, there weren't too many bright spots for
his young team. The Buffaloes were thoroughly dominated from kickoff until the fourth quarter, and the Rams built a 41-0 lead before Colorado could muster a score.
Much of the blame for the loss was shouldered by the Buffaloes' defense, who let Colorado State running back Kevin McDougal run for 190 yards and Rams' quarterback Matt Newton pass with ease. Speculation after the game was that the team had a rough time adjusting to the new defense that Barnett installed when he became the team's leader in January, but Barnett was insistent that poor tackling was much more of a reason for the letup than the new scheme.
"The way we tackled Saturday has to improve," Barnett said. "If we don't improve in that area, it's going to be a serious problem."
The loss sent the Buffaloes out of The Associated Press top-25 poll, while Colorado State moved into the poll at No. 24.

ST. LOUIS — Heirs to the Walmart fortune found a big bargain—a price of $100 million to buy the St. Louis Blues and Kiel Center.
Wal-Mart heirs buy Blues, arena
The Associated Press
Bill and Nancy Laurie bought the NHL team and the 5-year-old
arena from Clark Enterprises, a group of 19 prominent local businessmen who were tired of pumping money into the enter prise. The team had been for sale for nearly a year.
"We've been searching
The sale awaits approval by the NHL Board of Governors and is expected to be completed by the end of September. No problems are anticipated, since the Lauries had been tentatively approved for a previous purchase.
We've been satisfied for the right professional sports program for a number of months," Bill Laurie said yesterday. "It's incredible that the opportunity was literally in our back yard."
"I think that's a slam dunk," said Jerry Ritter, Clark Enterprises chairman of the board.
The Blues are the third NHL team to change hands this year, following the Avalanche and Pittsburgh Penguins. Deals for two or three more are in the works.
The Lauries, who live in Columbia and raise quarter horses and appaloosas, had been prepared to spend a lot more money. In March, they unsuccessfully bid $400 million for the NHL's Colorado Avalanche, the NBA's Denver Nuggets, and their new home, the Pepsi Center.
The Denver deal fell through when shareholders of Ascent Entertainment Group, which owned the sports properties, filed suit, claiming the sale price was as much as $150 million too low. A settlement resulted in an auction.
As part of the deal, the Laurie take on $96 million in debt on Kie
Center.
Bill Laurie is much more familiar with basketball than hockey. He was a guard at Memphis State and is a front-row fixture at Missouri basketball games.
In fact, he knows next to nothing about hockey. He's never attended an NHL game and can't skate.
"At my age, it's not something I don't think I'm going to try anytime soon," the 47-year-old Laurie said. "Although I am new to the hockey world,
I enjoy all kinds of sports. Laurie wasn't ruling out pursuing an NBA franchise for the city.
"Let's go one thing at a time," he said. "I guess if an NBA possibility came along, we would take a look at it. But I can honestly tell you today our focus is on hockey."
The sale coincided with the opening of the Blues' training camp on Monday. Bill Laurie met with the team Tuesday.
"These kinds of discussions, quite honestly, don't come up as much as you might think," Laurie said. "Stan does his thing and I do mine."
Nancy Walton Laurie is the daughter of the late Bud Walton, who with his late brother Sam co-founded Wal-Mart. The Lauries own Crown Center Farms in Columbia.
The couple made the largest single donation to the University of Missouri in its history in 1996, offering $10 million toward the construction of a basketball arena. The donation was withdrawn a year later after the Lauries felt the university wasn't making enough progress toward construction.
Kiel Partners, a consortium of local businessmen that owns the Blues, announced Dec. 30 that it had hired an investment bank to explore the team's financial options. They included selling the Blues and Kiel Center, bringing an NBA team to the city or overhauling Kiel Center's capital structure.

Concussions in youth cause problems for adults
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Two or more significant blows to the head while playing sports can harm teen-agers' thinking abilities for years to come, according to studies that suggest such injuries are more serious than some coaches and parents might think.
Nearly 63,000 high school athletes a year suffer mild concussions, researchers reported in today's Journal of the American Medical Association. Young athletes with learning disorders appear to suffer even worse long-term problems from multiple concussions.
"This is a major public health issue that has been given short shrift," said Michael W. Collins, a neuropsychologist at Henry Ford Health System in Detroit and a leader of one of the studies." And this is information parents should know."
Most people still believe that a concussion means getting knocked out, he said. But a concussion is any alteration in mental function after a blow to the head. Signs or symptoms may be subtle
a headache, dizziness, difficulty with balance or memory, confusion or a personality change.
One of the studies did not explore the effects of concussions but only how often they occurred in football, wrestling, soccer, basketball, softball, baseball, field hockey and volleyball at 235 high schools nationwide from 1995-96 through 1997-98.
There were 1,219 concussions — 63 percent of them in football and 99 students suffered two or more, said researchers led by John W. Powell, a professor of kinesiology and an athletic trainer at Michigan State University.
The researchers estimated that more than 62,800 concussions occurred among high school students nationwide annually in the sports they studied.
It has long been known that multiple mild concussions are more likely than a single episode to lead to long-term problems, and Collins tried to measure the difference in his study.
His research involved 393 college football players and found that about one in three had suffered a
concussion at some time in the past and one in five had suffered two or more.
Those who had suffered two or more were significantly more likely to report continuing problems with headaches, sleep and concentration, and they scored significantly worse on paper-and-pencil tests of the ability to learn words, to think quickly and to handle complex tasks. A complex task in the real world would be cooking a big Thanksgiving dinner, for example.
Players who had learning disorders — 13.5 percent of the sample — fared even worse if they had two or more concussions, suggesting that the disorders make the brain especially vulnerable to jarring injuries. About 12 percent of all collegians have learning disorders, research has shown.
"If they have a learning disability, if they have one concussion, you should be a lot more cautious in returning them to game conditions and practices after their first concussion," said Jeffrey T. Barth, chief of medical psychology and neuropsychology at the University of Virginia, an expert not involved
in the studies.
He said the research on the prevalence of concussions among high school students confirmed previous work but was by far the largest study. It highlights a problem that has been kind of ignored during the years. Most emphasis on managing concussion has been at college and pro levels, he said.
Animal research suggests the youthful brain remains vulnerable after a first concussion for a longer time than a mature brain does, so a high school athlete may need a much longer recovery time from a concussion before returning to play than a college player or a pro. Barth said.
A third article in the journal reported that amateur soccer players scored lower on tests of memory and planning than other amateur athletes did, and that repeated blows to the head may be the culprit.
While some research has implicated "heading" the ball, Barth and other experts believe the more likely explanation is the frequent collisions between players and players' heads hitting the ground or a goalpost.

Swede seventh to go down at U.S. Open
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Another injury struck the U.S. Open yesterday, and this one left Magnus Norman with an aching back and Gustavo Kuerten in the quarterfinals.
Norman had to quit during the fourth round against the fifth-seeded Kuerten, becoming the seventh player to retire from a men's singles match in nine days. And that doesn't include top-seeded Pete Sampras, No. 11 Mark Philippoussis and Karol Kucera, all pulling out before play began.
In a mild upset, Cedric Pioline of France beat 14th-seeded Tommy Haas of Germany 6-4, 7-5, 6-3 and will play Kuerten in the next round.
Norman raced to the net for a drop shot
But when he went to get up from his chair and return to the court, Norman grabbed his back on the right side. He called for a trainer, who rubbed liniment on the right side of his back.
and flicked the ball crosscourt for the winner, pumping his fist as he broke Kuerten. After the changeover, the Swede was to serve for the set.
"I felt a click in the back when I was going to return the serve at 30-40, the break point. I felt like just unbelievable amount of pain in the back. I thought this is something that is going to go over."
Visibly hampered, Norman lost serve, sending the set to a tiebreaker. Kuerten just kept the ball in play as Norman lacked movement and his shots went astray. The blustery, swirling winds also were no help, and Norman lost the
"I tried to serve, but was no way. I mean, no chance," Norman said.
tiebreak 7-4.
The trainer again worked on Norman's back, but the Swede returned to the court and quickly fell behind 15-30. Then he told the umbrella he was finished.
"It's strange," Kuerten said. "I thought he was really hurt. But sometimes players still can play very tennis. I just put the ball back, and he couldn't do anything with it."
Norman, who won a warmup tournament the day before the U.S. Open, was the second Swede to pull out with an injury during this year's event. Magnus Larsson retired from his third-round match with seventh-seeded Todd Martin.
Jan-Michael Gambill and No. 8 Carlos Moya in the second round and defending champion Patrick Rafter, who was seeded fourth, and Julien Boutter of France in the opening round.
Other men to retire were Fabrice Santoro of France in the third round,
In women's singles, Lindsay Davenport is getting monotonous. Put her on the court, and two sets later she has another victory.
Her latest win, 6-1, 6-2 Monday night against No. 9 Julie Halard-decugis of France, put Davenport into the quarters, just three wins from a second consecutive Grand Slam tournament title. She has yet to play three sets, nor has she been kept on court for more than an hour.
been kept on court for more than an hour. Also posting fourth-round victories Monday were No. 4 Monica Seles, No. 5 Mary Pierce and No. 7 Serena Williams. In the quarterfinals, Davenport will face
Pierce and Seles will play Williams.
No. 2 Andre Agassi advanced to the quarters, beating Arnaud Clement 6-4, 6-4, 6-3. Agassi will next take on Frenchman Nicolas Escude, who pulled off Monday's only upset, knocking off No. 10 Marcelo Rios 6-2, 6-3, 7-5.
No. 3 Yevgeny Kafelnikov and No. 12 Richard Krajicek are paired in another quarterfinal. Kafelnikov defeated Andre Medvedev 7-6 (7-5), 6-1, 6-0, and Krajicek ousted Vince Spadea 6-2, 7-6 (7-3), 6-2.
Today, No. 1 Martina Hingis was to face Anke Huber, and No. 3 Venus Williams, Serena's older sister, meets No. 12 Barbara Schett as the top half of the women's draw goes after semifinal berths.
The men completed their quarterfinal pairings late yesterday.

Chiefs open season with new halfback
Anders will start ahead of Morris against Bears
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs will open the season with a different starting halfback for the fourth time in four years, Coach Gunther Cunningham said yesterday.
Kimble Anders will start at halfback and Tony Richardson at fullback when Kansas City enger on the screen Sandor.

among the team's running backs.
Kansas City's last three previous opening day starters were Marcus Allen in 1996, Greg Hill in 1997 and Donnell Bennett last season. Bennett is now listed as Richardson's backup at fullback.
"I am so pleased about Rashaan Shehee," Cunningham said. "I challenged him hard in my office about a lack of toughness, and he looked me in the eye and said. That's the last time you'll ever say that about
Bam Morris, the late season starter at halfback in 1998, is second on the depth chart behind Anders but could be challenged for significant playing time by Rashaan Shehee, Cunningham said.

"So far he's right, but I'm sure
Bam will pick it up and go, too."
Whoever's in at running back will line up behind Kansas City's three top interior linemen for the first time since the first week of the 1998 season.
Left guard Dave Szott rejoins center Tim Davehard and right guard Will Shields after missing 15 games last year with a torn biceps tendon.
"We have our inside three intact," Cunningham said. "I personally had some tough games against them when I was (a defensive assistant) with Oakland and San Diego, so watching them play every day makes me feel good."
With first-round pick John Tait still unsigned at left tackle.
Chiefs on Monday signed free agent Sammy Williams to a two-year contract. The 6-foot-5, 318-pound Williams was released Sunday by Baltimore, after spending all of last year on the disabled list.
Ravens' disabled list.
Defensive tackles Chester McGlockton and Dan Williams could be ready for Sunday's game against Chicago, Cunningham said. McGlockton missed the final two preseason games with a hamstring injury but is still listed as a probable starter, while Williams — a holdout in 1998 after being designated the Chiefs' franchise player — sat out the preseason with a thigh injury.
"Cherie made it through the whole practice," Cunningham said. "He didn't take as many snaps as everyone on defense. We wanted to see how he did in a team environment."
To make room for Sammy Williams, the Chiefs released offensive guard Donald Willis.

Lawrence residents will have the opportunity to get a sneak preview of the proposed citywide bus system today
Representatives from city staff, the Public Transit Advisory Committee and KA Associates, a Wichita-based consulting firm, will be on hand from 3 to 8 p.m. at the East Lawrence Recreation Center, 1245 E. 15th St., to answer questions and get feedback about planned bus routes.
Richard Bachman / KANSAN
"The purpose is for people to come in, ask questions and learn as much as they can about the plan," said Aaron Bartlett, city transportation planner.
Bartlett said he thought that the officials at the open house would be able to address everyone's questions and listen to any concerns about the proposal.
In July, the city contracted with KA Associates to develop a mass transit system. The planning included developing routes and schedules, establishing fares, buying vehicles and equipment, and developing a marketing plan.
The plan up for review tomorrow features seven routes that would serve a variety of areas and needs. The proposed routes are based upon a 1992 study by the Dallas-based consulting firm DeShazo, Starek and Tang.
KA Associates used the DeShazo study as a starting point for developing bus routes but took into account growth and the University of Kansas bus system.
Recommendations for the final route structure include creating long-term routes that customers could become familiar with, promoting transfer to other routes, providing service to major employment areas, and providing access for KU students to retail, employment and entertainment areas of Lawrence.
Bartlett said that, for the most part, the routes were settled, but that input would help fine-tune issues.
"The concept is there," Bartlett said. "It's just a matter of prioritizing the needs."
Steve Klika, partner at KA Associates, said that the start-up system might not incorporate all seven routes. He said that the number of routes would depend on the range of bids they received from bus companies and the amount of money budgeted.
Holly Krebs, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels and member of the Public Transit Advisory Committee, said she thought the plan still needed small changes to service KU students.
"I think it's beginning to address student needs, and with a few alterations, it will be perfect." Krebs said.
Krebs said that alterations should be made to allow for easier transfer from
University buses to city buses. She said that the original plans did not include linking the two systems, but that support for integration from both the city and the University prompted reconsideration of the plans.
A second open house is scheduled for 3 to 8 p.m., Sept. 13 at the Union Pacific Depot, 402 N. Second St.
The Public Transit Advisory Committee meets again at 9 a.m., Sept. 16 at the City Commission Room in City Hall.
City Manager Mike Wildgen said he expected that the plan would be presented to the city commission later this month.
City officials said that the bus system should be started up in the spring.

Evolution decision focus of convocation
By Clay McQuistion writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
At the 134th opening convocation for faculty and staff yesterday afternoon, Chancellor Robert Hemenway called for all University of Kansas students and state residents to be scientifically literate.
Hemenway's address to about 300 audience members at Budig Hall stressed his goals for the University of Kansas and efforts to improve the University given the limits of state funding. Almost half of his speech, however, dealt with the Board of Education's decision to remove evolution from state science standards.
"If we believe that these attempts to undermine the teaching of science grow from a misunderstanding of scientific principals, as well as a mistaken notion that one must choose between God and science, then we really only have one choice." Hemenway said. "We should help make our University — the University of Kansas — the leader in both Kansas and the nation in science education."
The chancellor set three goals for the University:
- To become a national leader in preparing science students.
- To educate all students to be scientifically literate.
- To help the public be scientifically literate.
"Let every community in Kansas know that help is available at KU when its school board decides if it's going to teach evolution in its community's schools." Hemenway said.
The chancellor also said he would organize a task force to determine the feasibility of making scientific literacy a major goal at the University.
Gail Rooney, director of Career and
Employment Services, attended the convocation and the reception afterward at the lobby in Strong Hall.
"The stronger we can make our students in scientific literacy, the stronger we can make our students in the science research field, the more marketable they become, either in employment or in graduate schools," Rooney said.
Korb Maxwell, student body president; also was present.
"It is a very good idea," he said of the chancellor's emphasis on scientific literacy. "It's going to definitely take some work between students and faculty."
Provost David Shulenburger also spoke at the ceremony. He focused his remarks on graduate programs at the University.
Shulenburger said doctoral programs should concentrate on placing students in desirable jobs after graduation.
"I am not concerned that graduate education is greatly over-enrolled," he said. "Most of our programs place doctoral graduates in employment that directly uses their education. But there are some programs that are notable exceptions."
Shulenburger set four objectives for KIJ doctoral programs;
To create funding programs for doctoral students.
- To increase financial support for doctoral students.
To ensure a reasonable length of time for students to complete doctorates.
To find the proper enrollment size for doctoral programs.
Shulenburger also introduced the recipients of KU teaching awards.
During the hour-and-a-half ceremony, Robert Barnhill, vice chancellor for research and public service, introduced Higuchi Award winners and Mary Hawkins, librarian, spoke about the faculty's role in University governance.

Faithful return to Joe's Bakery for re-opening
By Katie Hollar
Kansan stoff writer
writer@kansan.com
David Kessler waited nearly 10 months for the perfect egg salad sandwich.
Yesterday Kessler, Lawrence junior, was one of many students and Lawrence residents who stopped in at Joe's Bakery, 616 W. Ninth St., on the first day it had been open since November.
the first owner Ralph Smith closed Joe's during Thanksgiving break last year during his divorce proceedings. During the bakery's absence, its regular customers missed the 60-year-old Lawrence landmark.

"My sister went to college before me, and she wrote the ABCs of KU for me," she said. "J was Joe's. It was a staple of my diet freshman year."

Diversity finds home on 10th floor
There's no place like McCollum for residents

A peek at Masao Miyasato's bedroom would not set him apart from any other residents living at McCollum Hall — there is a coffee pot and stereo on his dresser, hardbound textbooks and notebooks lined up neatly on his desk, and photographs of family members thumb-tacked to his bulletin board.
But Miyasato, an international student from Japan, is not like most residents of McCollum, nor is he like residents of any other University of Kansas residence halls.
Mivasato is 69 years old.
Miyasato is 65 years. He is a resident on McCollum's 10th floor, a special-interest graduate floor, geared towards graduate, nontraditional and international students.
Miyasato, who earned a degree from Tokyo Medical and Dental University in 1963, was a dentist in Japan before deciding to refresh his education in biology at a university in the United States.
He said a lot had changed since his first college experience.
"We didn't even know what DNA was back then," Miyasato said. "We didn't even have that word then."
He said he was intimidated when he came to the United States and the University last year.
"At first I felt out of place, but I got used to it." he said.
Miyasato is not the only non-traditional, international student living on the floor.
Some of his floormates include a 48-year-old undergraduate student, a
28-year-old freshman and students from Germany, Thailand and South Korea.
Of the 75 residents of the floor, 19 are graduate students and 23 are juniors or seniors. The Department of Student Housing did not have figures for international or non-traditional students. Some "traditional" students, including a few 18-year-old freshmen, also live on the floor.
Miyasato said some of the floor- mates made it easy for him to make friends and feel comfortable on the floor.
"I think it's a good system to have," said Kent Lavene, McCollum complex director. "There are several students who live there year after year."

One male and one female will be awarded the $500 Ex.C.E.L., Excellence in Community, Education and Leadership award. They will be recognized during the homecoming ceremony Oct. 2.
Camille Payne, SUA member, said the recipients of the award must be hard workers.
"We are looking for people that have a good educational focus, who excel in college and are leaders that take part in activities," she said.
Those interested must have a grade point average of 3.0 or higher and must be enrolled as a full-time undergraduate student.
Applications can be picked up at the SUA office on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union and are due Sept. 14.

Various cultures to take stage during weekend
Cultural identities and immigrant assimilation are at the heart of "Migrant ImagiNations," a workshop performance that will be presented 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Inge Theatre in Murphy Hall.
"Migrant ImagiNations" uses a collage of dance, Vaudevillian sketches and multicultural music to examine ethnic and racial characteristics and immigration. Students will be involved in the performance.
This weekend's performances, sponsored by the department of theatre and film, are last in this year's second annual Labor Day Festival.
The show features Anita Gonzalez of the Bandana Women, a group of performers that uses folklore and native languages to make a statement about issues in today's society. Gonzalez, who teaches at Florida State University's School of Theatre, produced the work.
Stacey Siegert, Lenexa senior and Murphy Hall Box Office assistant, said the Labor Day Festival performances were geared primarily to an audience of theater students and faculty, but that because of Gonzalez's reputation, more people probably would attend.
Tickets are available at the Murphy Hall Box Office for $5.

KU airplane strikes vehicle on runway
No injuries were reported after a KU airplane struck a vehicle yesterday morning at Lawrence Airport, the Kansas Highway Patrol said.
A westbound 1983 Chevy Blazer had pulled off the taxiway and stopped to let the eastbound aircraft pass. However, an insufficient clearance was left for the airplane's wingspan and the left wing-tip struck the left side of the Blazer.
Highway patrol officers were notified of the accident at 10:10 a.m. and arrived one minute later.

Kansan goes to press despite power problems
The power problems that plagued The University Daily Kansan and Stauffer-Flint Hall Tuesday night were fixed by vesterday morning.
After a three-hour power outage Tuesday evening, the Kansan staff managed to send the newspaper to the Lawrence Journal-World for printing by about 12:45 a.m. on partial power after a transformer in the basement of Stauffer-Flint blew.
— one of six that provide power for Stauffer-Flint. The replacement took only a few hours, he said, and power was restored by the time classes started yesterday.
Scott Valier, technology coordinator for the Kansan, said facilities operations crews moved in at about 1:15 a.m. to replace the blown transformer
The facilities operations crew, especially preventative maintenance workers, were instrumental in facilitating production of the paper, Valler said.

He said he liked the quieter, more studious atmosphere the floor provided.
Lavene said that since the semester began, about four students moved from lower McCollum floors up to the 10th floor because they thought they would be more comfortable.

Elections commission under review
Task force wants to clarify vague spending rules
By Chris Barniger
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Although campaign season is almost a semester away, a Student Senate task force could begin investigating and modifying the elections commission next week.
Student Body President Korb Maxwell said he planned to appoint senators to the Election and Referendum Task Force at Senate's first full meeting next Wednesday. Dede Seibel, student body vice president, will be the chairwoman of the task force.
Maxwell said he wanted to prevent problems such as those that occurred in last spring's election
"Last year, I was consistently amazed by the decisions and actions of the elections commission," he said. "To me, what they're there to do is make sure the playing field is fair for everybody, not to decide the political system of the University of Kansas. But that's what they tried to do."
In its 1999 elections code, the commission initially prohibited candidates from identifying themselves by coalition on the ballot. After complaints from senators, the commission later revised the code to include coalition names on the ballot.
Maxwell said the commission should not have been able to take such an action.
"The commission needs Student Senate to tell them what exactly we want them to do." he said. "The coalition system makes for more
Jennifer Wamelink, commission member, said the commission did not need guidance from Senate.
professional campaigns. An assault on that makes no sense to me."
"I don't think that's a fair statement," she said. "We simply wanted to re-address the way campaigns spend money and give independent candidates a stronger voice."
Maxwell also said the code was too vague in its spending limit guidelines for campaigns and not strict enough about reviewing the veracity of proposed referenda.
"Referenda are a completely valuable tool, but there needs to be guidelines on how they work," he said. "Students need to know that what's on the ballot isn't a lie."
Seibel said improving the referendum process was an important responsibility for the task force.
"I think the things affecting students the most are referendum
issues" she said. "The methods of how they get on the ballot and what they say definitely affect student life."
Seibel also said she would seek to protect permanently the right to put coalition names on the ballot.
"The coalition system is so basic to how Student Senate operates, and it could just be revoked," she said. "I want to make sure that it stays fixed in place in the code."
The task force would seek to make the elections code clearer so that campaigns could run more smoothly, Seibel said.
"We need some uniform application of the rules, and the rules as they exist now are very vague," she said. "We want to make them less ambiguous. If anything, that would make the elections commission's job a lot easier."
The task force expects to have a report by the end of next month.

Abortion activists protest outside clinic
By Dan Curry

Ten abortion opponents picketed in front of a downtown Lawrence clinic yesterday and prayed for the women entering the building.
Two statues of the Virgin Mary stood among their ranks, and rosary beads slipped through the picketers' fingers.
Next to the protesters, four members of the KU Pro-Choice Coalition silently staged a counter-demonstration.
A security guard stood in the doorway between them.
Sgt. George Wheeler said the protest went off without a hitch.
witnesses said four police cars appeared on the scene after an abortion opponent put her sign up against the clinic's glass window, but no citations were issued.
A representative of the clinic said it did not wish to comment on the protests because it had a policy prohibiting clinic members from making statements to the press.
The anti-abortion group, whose members said it was from a Catholic church in Topeka, has traveled to Lawrence each Wednesday for the past month to protest the operation of A. Kristin Neuhaus's clinic at 205 W. 8th St.
"We don't believe in violence," said Maria Becker, the representative for the group.
MOM,
LET ME
LIVE!!!
PLEASE
ABORTION
KILLS
CHILDREN
"We're here to protest in a prayerful way the killing of children. We truly believe that the abortion providers are just out for the money. They are like vultures, preying on women who are in trouble and who have no way out."
Becker said women should seek alternatives to abortion, such as adoption and care homes.
Yesterday was the first day the Pro-Choice Coalition attended the weekly protest.
"It's probably going to step up." Sally Puelo, coordinator of KU's Pro-Choice Coalition, said. She added that her coaltion would be back next week in greater numbers.
Puelo said her group was there to escort women seeking services from the clinic picketers.
"A lot of women are intimidated by these crowds," said Bridgett Chapin, Pro-Choice Coalition member.
Chapin said one woman entered the clinic during the protests that day.
"She just walked behind us," Chapin said. "She was fast. It was almost as if she wasn't there."
The two groups had little interaction throughout the protest, except when abortion opponents asked the abortion proponents to pray with them.

Puelo said they declined the invitation because it didn't feel right.
"We love [the abortion proponents]," Becker said. "We feel that they are misled."

Brown Bear petition an example of student influence in Lawrence
Students are vital to the Lawrence community and should not hesitate to voice their opinions. In a good example of a group speaking out, University of Kansas College Republicans informed the City Commission last night that KU students were upset with the recent decision to revoke the Brown Bear's liquor license.
The College Republicans took a 727 signature petition to the City Commission at the commission's meeting last night.
Brown Bear was closed for a weekend for failing to comply with a 1994 zoning ordinance that requires new establishments downtown to sell more food than alcohol.
Casey Connealy, College Republicans treasurer, said Brown Bear was a good local business. In the
Students need to make sure they make their voices heard on Lawrence issues
last two years, Brown Bear has been cited for only two minor in possession violations, Ryan Rodenburg, coowner, told College Republicans.
Connelly said the City Commission could have warned Brown Bear and given it more time to come into compliance with the ordinance instead of revoking its liquor license.
"We see this as a blatant overstepping of commission powers, by saying whether a business can or can't sell alcohol," Connealy said.
Brown Bear formed a new corporation to reapply for a liquor license with the state. However, a new liquor
license requires compliance city certified zoning.
The College Republicans petition stated that they disapproved and thought the City Commission acted improperly when enforcing the ordinance and that the city should certify to the state that Brown Bear was properly zoned.
Political organizations tend to take a stand in big issues that are far away, when their real influence is on local issues. Connealy said College Republicans took this stand because it held with the principles of the group here in Lawrence.
Students do have clout in local politics and should continue to speak out. A petition is only one way for groups and individuals to get involved. Local politics will benefit from student input, as will the students.

Modest park development needed
Three weeks ago, Lieutenant Governor Gary Sherrer and the state secretary of wildlife and parks announced that they had selected Clinton Lake State Park to contain Kansas' first park resort. The plan for the $21.8 million resort includes a 150-bed hotel, tennis courts, a swimming pool and fitness center.
The time has come for a resort of this kind in Kansas. The state will benefit from an increase in tourism dollars, and the boost to Kansas' public image is sorely needed.
It should also be a good deal for tax-
navers, who likely won't have to pick
New resort at Clinton state park is needed, but builders must not hurt the environment
up the tab. Sherrer said that he expected the resort to be built with private funds raised by the developer.
Of course, it will be up to the developers to design the resort in a way that doesn't unduly disturb the natural environment. However, it is worth noting that Clinton Lake is completely man-made, it was dammed by the U. S.
Army Corps of Engineers. Nonetheless, this resort needn't destroy the environment if it's done responsibly.
A representative for the Sierra Club and Kansas Natural Resource Council said that the development hadn't been of concern to environmentalists.
That said, it's important that during construction, every step is taken not to upset the ecological balance of the park.
If the resort is built correctly, it will make Kansas and Lawrence more attractive to visitors and businesses.

Feedback Columnist wrong about WNBA should go to women's games
It was with considerable surprise that I read Derek Prater's column. It came two days after I had watched three consecutive WNBA games to sold-out houses, televised on national TV. The games were terrific, especially the last-minute half-court shot that won the second game for the NY Liberty and necessitated a third game. It never occurred to me that a low-scoring game, as a result of terrific defense, would be criticized. As a matter of fact, I have oftentimes wondered why so
Be this as it may, it seems obvious that Derek Prater does not like to watch and does not appreciate the skills of women basketball players. Why he would want to spend the time to write about it is not clear to me. He presented evidence that indicates that other people are excited about it, e.g. high attendance at the WNBA games, John Wooden's comments.
many of the NBA teams do not show any defensive efforts--or cannot play defense.
Come to the first 5 KU home games (free to KU students), sit behind the KU bench, and keep an open mind. THEN tell me what you saw. I bet
I'd like to suggest the following to Derek:
that you will get excited by Lynn Pride's atheticism, Jaclyn Johnson's and Nicky White's defenses, Suzi Raymant's 3-pointers (and those of several others), Brooke Reves' intensity, and Jennifer Jackson's pull-up jumpers. Not to mention the play of the other students. As for me, I find slam-dunks boring, but that is personal preference. I do not feel a need however, to condemn all men who perform them. Don't do it with the women either. It is unkind, and you are behind the times.

Perspective
This seals it,ACLU should find a new fight
Since their mandate pretty much demands that they go against the majority in defense of the rights of the minority, it's not surprising that they irritate people. But we're a better nation for them; the thorn in our side that keeps reminding us of how fragile a thing freedom is, how easily opinion can strip people of their constitutional rights.

violation of the separation of church and state strikes me as absurd.
That said, the notion that the University's seal is a
Does this make the seal a religious design? No The mere presence of a theological figure or entity does not make a seal, document or work of art religious. The KU ACLU should know this, especially since its parent group is somewhat of an expert of the topic of church/state law.
Yes, the seal has Moses and the burning bush on the cover. Yes, Moses is viewed as a religious figure by several major world religions. And, yes, there's a Bible verse as the motto.
Let's look at the American Medical Association, for example. That group's logo contains the serpent-stick of Aesculapius, a demigod of Greek myth. Does this make the AMA an advocate of the Olympian religion? Does it imply that its members should worship Apollo? Of course not; it simply uses a symbol from a vivid and famous belief system to illustrate its mission.
Moses appears in Mel Brooks' movie History of the World, and God makes an appearance in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I don't think anyone, even the KU ACLU after several hours of drinking, would view them as being religious films. The use and intent of the figure is what matters, not the source of it.
I now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt," say the words upon the seal in Latin, quoting Exodus 3:3. The meaning is clear with a little thought; we turn aside on our life's path, stopping at KU to see our own great sight, to have the flame of knowledge illuminate us. (Well, and to get our degrees so we can make big bucks.)
The founders of the University were men drawing on a Judeo-Christian heritage, and it is only natural that they would pick a symbol with which they were familiar.
The seal calls us to seek knowledge. It does so in the words, phrases and symbols of an age now gone, but that makes the seal all the more precious, all the more valuable to us. We are the inheritors of more than one hundred years of the best of Kansas — a fire, a light a great force of civilization. Those who turned aside here worked under that seal, and left richer in spirit. It is folly to throw it away.
Can anyone really suggest that the seal promotes religion? I think not. It does not urge us to seek God, or Jesus, or morality, or purity. It advocates knowledge, as the seal of a university should.
Defense of our freedoms is a noble goal, and I applaud the members of the KU ACLU for their interest and commitment to it. But, at the same time, I suggest that they've picked a really silly and inoffensive target.
For years — even back in the days when religion in the schools was mandatory — the
Here's a word of advice. Leave our seal alone, and turn your efforts towards the real danger to separation of church and state — the Kansas Board of Education.

Kansas appeals to so many people. (And is run on a nationwide television network every Thanksgiving, as I've heard so frequently late.) I guess it's because Kansas is the heart of America-geographically, economically, ideologically and even culturally. It's the movie that all Americans attribute to Kansas, as well as stereotype it as and, well, is about the only thing anybody ever thinks of when you say "Kansas." Well, that and basketball. According to my father, The Wizard of Oz is the story of Kansas
I wonder why Dorothy's
There's a character for everyone. The Scarecrow belongs to those with low self-esteem and self-confidence; the Cowardly Lion is for
those who are afraid to take risks, afraid to confront danger, or are just plain afraid. The Tin Man is there for those who think they have no compassion, who feel an emptiness inside, who feel utterly alone; and the Wizard lets us all know that while sometimes success seems accidental and undeserved, it isn't.
As we travel with Dorothy and Toto, the Cowardly Lion and the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man, we discover that what they sought they already possessed. All they needed was a chance to discover these hidden talents, these newfound identities, and a concrete reminder in case they ever forgot. A medal, a diploma, a heart pocketwatch, and a pair of sequined shoes.
And then there is Dorothy with her jerry little Toto who is just lost, just hoping to find adventure and then hoping to find her way back home, back to the place where she belongs. Her story may belong to Kansas, but Dorothy's dreams belong to all. Their journey is our journey; their pain, our pain; their hopes and our hopes are one in the same.
And although Dorothy proclaims that she is "not gonna leave [home] ever, ever again," it is in her journeying that she learns how much her home means to her. She has been forever changed by the experience.
But you can't truly go home again, Dorothy. It will never be quite the same. You will never be quite the same. You've learned that evil exists and that not all of it can be vanquished with a bucket of water. There will always be people willing to help you out (even if it means they want something in return). The dusty and desolate farm just seems so lifeless compared to the greens and yellows of Oz. There is an enormous, wondrous, frightening, exciting world outside of Uncle Henry and Auntie Em's Kansas. And it takes more than a pair of slippers to bring you back.

Student Senate committees support evolution resolution
By Chris Borniger
writer @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Student Senate committees unanimously approved a resolution Wednesday night condemning the Board of Education's decision to remove the teaching of evolution theory from state school assessment tests.
The resolution stated: "We do not eschew religion; we simply believe it has no space in science class."
The resolution will be considered by the full Senate Wednesday. If it passes next week, Senate will send copies of the resolution to the Board and to news organizations across the nation.
Partha Mazumdar, graduate senator and co-sponsor of the resolution, said
the Board's decision had hurt Kansas' image severely throughout the nation.
"The reputation of Kansas education has been severely diminished," he said. "With this resolution, at least some people will say we're not all like that. We a lot of people don't think we're hayseed."
Mazudam said the decision hurt students in Kansas schools the most.
"The students of Kansas were never asked nor heard from when the Board was considering this," he said.
Korb Maxwell, student body president and co-sponsor of the resolution, said the resolution was directed at influencing all state educational institutions — including local school boards — against the Board's decision.
R. J. Woodring, Nunemaker senator
and University Affairs committee member, said he voted for the resolution to make a point.
"It's important we send a message that we don't agree with the Board of Education members," he said. "We can't be afraid to voice our opinion."
In other business, committees approved:
A resolution to support the students of National Autonomous University of Mexico. The resolution stated that the University of Kansas student body supported the efforts of the university's students to be better represented in their university's governance.

Speaker explains differing creation theories
Bv Todd Halstead

Kansan staff writer
Juxtaposed by an illuminated cross hanging on the wall behind her, Eugenie Scott discussed aspects of the Board of Education's decision to institute new science regulations that deemphasize evolution in public schools.
More than 150 people attended last night's speech, "Creation? Evolution? Both? Neither?" at Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St.
Scott, director of the National Center for Science Education in Berkeley, Calif., taught at the University of Kansas from 1976 to 1977. She said teaching both evolution and creationism in public school science classes was impractical because of the various religious perspectives on creation.
"Teaching both is not an option," Scott said. "What about Hindus? The United States is a religious pluralistic nation."
The speech was the first in a series of lectures sponsored by the Kansas Citizens for Science, an organization formed in response to the Board's Aug. 11 decision.
Scott, who has a doctorate in biological anthropology, said that she supported teaching creationism in non-science classes.
She presented in a non-partisan manner, explaining evolution and the different forms of creationism.
ent theories of creationism in order, from the most extreme viewpoints to those that accept a combination of evolution and religion.

Jesse Krebs, Lawrence resident, said Scott gave a thorough overview.
"I think the people who had the opportunity to hear this are leaving with a much better understanding of the global issue that they came with," he said.
After the speech, Scott said the Board's decision should not affect students coming to the University.
"KU will attract good students on the basis of the strength of its programs, and evolution will be taught matter-of-fact at Kansas just like it's taught at every university," she said.

Student parking curbed at Blake
By Michael Terry
Kansan staff writer
writer@kansan.com
Faculty and staff who teach in Blake Hall are relieved that the parking situation at Lot 15 behind the building has been rectified in their favor.
Don Kearns, parking services director, decided Tuesday to rescind the 12 parking spaces allocated for Watkins Scholarship Hall and Miller Scholarship Hall residents.
Elaine Sharp, professor of political science and urban politics, said parking for faculty and staff at Blake had become problematic since residents of Watkins and Miller scholarship halls had been able to park at the Blake lot.
"I knew colleagues that would drive to the University to teach a class and then not be able to find a place to park," she said. "Some of
the faculty just wound up having to return home due to the lack of parking."
Watkins and Miller hall residents were notified Tuesday in a meeting with the University of Kansas Department of Student Housing that the Blake Hall parking permits would have to be returned. Residents paid $150 for the permits.
"The money the residents of both halls paid will be refunded, and they will be given the option to buy Alumni Place parking passes." Kearns said.
Kearns said he had received complaints about the parking overflow problem from faculty members and from the chair of the department of public administration. He said he also received an e-mail from the Office of the Provost.
Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking services, said construction at Blake might be contributing
to the parking problem.
Students living at Miller Scholarship Hall last semester kept a journal of how many parking spaces were empty in the loft behind Blake every day. After students presented that information to the parking department, the department agreed that giving the 12 spaces to the scholarship halls was a good idea.
"We would like to work out a compromise with the parking department where we'll give up our parking spaces until the construction is completed," she said. "I think once the construction is completed there will be spaces for us to park again."
Nicole Kirby, Lansing senior and Watkins proctor, said the extra parking spots at Alumni Place did not solve the parking problem at the scholarship halls.

J. Crew latest to leave Riverfront Plaza
The J. Crew outlet store in the Riverfront Shopping Plaza will close its doors Sept. 26, a move brought on by increased mall vacancies during the past few months.
Elli Randell, the store's manager,
said that the store's lease was up this fall and the managers decided not to renew the lease because of increased vacancies in the mall.
The Riverfront Plaza's empty halls have had too much of a negative impact on the business and the sales have dropped off considerably, said Leslie Potter, an assistant manager.
"The factory doesn't get a lot of business, and we haven't been making our goals." Potter said.
Despite the possibility of additional stores opening in the mall, Randell said there still wouldn't be enough to keep J. Crew there.
After the doors close, J. Crew employees will have three days to pack up the remaining merchandise and vacate the store.
"We'll be out of here on Sept. 29." Potter said.
The main focus for the store now is to sell as much of the remaining merchandise as it can. For the next three weeks, everything in the store will be marked down by at least 30 percent and by as much as 75 percent.
"Everything will stay on sale for at least 30 percent," Randell said. "We may cut the prices even more toward the end."
Efforts are being made to bring more traffic into the mall because of the increased number of fleeing stores.
Don Webb, manager of London Fog, said, "We have been told that there are people coming, and there will be stores added to the mall, but we have not been told specifics
because nobody really knows for sure at this point."
David Longhurst, general manager of the Riverfront Plaza, said the owners were trying to make it easier for retailers to sign leases with the mall to increase traffic.
"The objective is to make it more appealing for our customers," Longhurst said.
Effective Sept. 1, parking is free for all Riverfront Plaza customers in an attempt to make it more convenient for the shoppers, Webb said.
"Dynamics in the industry are changing." Longhurst said. "There's less of a need for outlet malls. You just don't see them as much anymore."
The lowest level of the mall has been converted to non-outlet retailers. But Longhurst said he was committed to maintaining the outlet style of shopping on the upper two levels.

Javhawk athletics ranked 25th best in nation
By Michael T. Rigg
Kansan sportswriter
The Sporting News magazine has ranked Kansas the 25th best athletics program in the nation in its Sept. 13 issue.
The rankings, which take into account items such as winning percentage, student-athlete graduation rates, school spirit and sportsmanship, were compiled by a group of The Sporting News editors.
Kansas scored an A- in the "Do we win?" category, a C+ for graduation rates in the football and men's basketball programs, a B+ in the "Do we rock?" athletics department fan support category, and a C+ in the "Do we play fair?" sportsmanship category.
The marks averaged out to a 2.92 "grade point
'average,' which finished a full point behind Penn State, the top-ranked program in the article.
The Sporting News archivist Steve Gieschier, who wrote the article accompanying the rankings, said the categories took into account a number of factors to determine an athletics department's effectiveness.
"We wanted to look at what schools did off the field, and we also wanted to emphasize the two sports, which our magazines cover the most in, football and men's basketball." he said.
Graduation rate and athletics department fan support were the two items that hurt Kansas the most. Gieschler said.
"Kansas ranked 58th out of 112 schools in terms of graduation rate, so that definitely didn't help." he said. "Also, the overwhelming support for the men's basketball program at Kansas was almost canceled out by the lack of support of the football team."
Kansas ranked last in the Big 12 Conference last season in total home football attendance, and the support grade was based on compiled figures for men's basketball and football.
Kansas was the second-highest ranked Big 12 school; Nebraska had the Big 12's highest ranking at No.9.
Bob Frederick, athletics director, said he was happy with Kansas' ranking.
"To be only one of two big 12 schools in the top 25 is an honor, especially considering that the Big Ten Conference had 10 of its eleven schools in the top 25," he said.
"The graduation rate is definitely something we're looking to improve on," Frederick said. "We've set a graduation
Frederick said despite the positive ranking, there was still room to improve in his department and on the graduation rate.

mostly because of an F grade in the "Do we play fair?" category. Both K-State's football and women's basketball teams have been the subjects of NCAA investigations, which Gleitschier said hurt the Wildcats' cause.

Senior leads volleyball team
Outside hitter has chance to top school kill record
—Edited by Kelly Clasen
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportwriter
Ask Mary Beth Albrecht about her favorite memory as a member of the Kansas volleyball team, and she will not hesitate
It seems a little premature to talk about Albrecht's departure from the volleyball team. Especially since the Jayhawks have opened their season with a 40 record, and Albrecht has played a major role in the team's success so far.
"I think when I leave here I'll remember all the teammates I've had," said Albrecht, a senior outside hitter. "Ever since I was recruited here I've been surrounded by great teammates, and it continues to be like that."
This season, Albrecht ranks third on the team in kills (33), second in total attacks (98), and second in digs (31).
"She does a lot of things for us," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "When you think of an outside attack, you think about somebody who's going to put the ball away. But she's one of our team leaders in kills and one of our very best passers."
Ah, yes, the kills. Entering the season, Albrecht ranked 10th on the Kansas all-time list with 837. Her total now stands at 870, but last weekend at the West Virginia Tournament in Morgantown,
W. Va., she was passed on the charts by teammate Amanda Reves. Even so, the school record of 1,146, set by Judy Desch in 1987, is within reasonable striking distance.
"I know that, but I don't think about it," Albrecht said. "I haven't thought about it the past three years that I've been here, and I guess I've made it. I figure if I just play the way I've been playing I'll be fine."
Albrecht's playing style has netted numerous awards for her trophy case. She was named to the 1999 West Virginia All-Tournament team, the 1998 Jayhawk Classic All-Tournament team and the 1996 Billiken Invite All-Tournament team. In the classroom, she was honorable mention Academic All-Big 12 Conference last year and was a Jayhawk scholar.
About the only thing missing from Albrecht's array of awards is an NCAA Tournament appearance, which has eluded the Jayhawks since the team's first season in 1975.
“It’s definitely in the back of our minds,” Albrecht said. “It would be one of the best ways to leave here. It’s not what we strive for every single day, but it’s in our heads that we definitely want to go.”
Albrecht and the rest of the Jayhawks will next be in action during the weekend when they play host to the Hampton Inn Jayhawk Classic at Horejsi Family Athletics Center. The team plays at 5 and 7:30 p.m. Friday against Chicago State and Texas Christian University, and at 2:30 p.m. Saturday against Auburn University.

Allen worried Jayhawks might overlook Cal State-Northridge
By Mike Miller
Traditionally, Division I-AA teams don't have the physical attributes to compete with a I-A team. But it's a classic cliche — overlooking a lesser opponent for a bigger game down the road, such as the 'Hawks game against Colorado Sept. 18 — that worries Allen.
Scheduling California State Northridge, a Division I-AA opponent, for the home season opener seems like a good thing for the Kansas football team, but coach Terry Allen knows better.
"I would rather not be playing a I-AA team at this particular iuncture." he said.
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
"Those Division I-AA schools have everything to gain and nothing to lose, while the I-A guys have everything to lose and virtually nothing to gain," he said.
Couple that with what Allen considers a dangerous team, and an easy win turns into a game that could be trouble.
"It falls at a particularly bad time for us mentally."
And Allen knows from experience.
As a coach at Division I-AA Northern Iowa, Allen was 3-5 against I-A schools, defeating
Two of Allen's assistant coaches, linebackers coach Mark Farley and quarterbacks coach Jay Johnson, were at Northern Iowa when Allen's teams played against I-A schools. Farley was an assistant coach and Johnson was a quarterback from 1989-1992.
"You can be very wide open, scheme-wise, offensively and defensively," he said. "Those types of things can really propel you to victory."
Farley remembers that motivation played a huge role when I-AA teams played I-A teams.
"You give them a motivation factor and watch out," he said. "You use that to play strong football against a team that may have more physical talent than a smaller school."
And the motivational factor plays a role in I-A schools preparing for games against IAA teams as well. How does Allen motivate his players after playing against a top-ranked team such as Notre Dame?
Apparently, his players can motivate themselves.
"You don't want to lose any games, but to lose to a lower division would be worse," said offensive tackle John Oddonetto.
The fear of losing to an inferior opponent can motivate players, but winning the first game of the season also can motivate a team.
"We're trying to put a 'W' on the board," said defensive back Quincy Roe. "Have some fun this game and eliminate most of the mistakes and we'll be fine."
More than anything, Allen wants his team to minimize those mistakes and get the first win of the season.
"If we have the mistakes we had against Notre Dame, we could easily be upset," he said.
In the world of injuries, Bob Smith, reserve offensive tackle, is out for the season. He tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee last spring and has reinjured it twice this fall. Allen said he probably would have corrective surgery.
Allen bemoaned the loss because Smith is a backup to starting right tackle Justin Hartwig and he said he couldn't afford to lose anyone off the offensive line. Allen said that Gabe Rosalis probably would step into Smith's spot.
"I just want to get the game played, and I want to get on the road to Boulder."

New coaches bring energy to program
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
But the biggest changes for the team have been off the field...
If this year's softball team resembles the team that went 31-30 last year and finished fifth in the Big 12 Conference, it should. Nine starters return from last year's team.
Two new assistant coaches, Julie Wright and Drew Christmant, were hired to replace Marla Looper and Carla Marchetti, who both took other coaching jobs.
"The transition has been great," Coach Tracy Bunge said. "As much as I wasn't expecting Coach Looper to leave, on the other hand, having two new people brings a new perspective and positive energy."
Though it is her first year at Kansas, Wright is no stranger to Bunge's program. Wright was a
senior at Ohio when Bunge was a first year coach there.
"This is the woman who taught me the game," Wright said. "Coming back to
Sigball
coach for her is like coming back to coach for a mentor."
"Drew's background in baseball brings us different things, fundamentally." Bunge said.
Christmon brings a unique perspective to the team. He played minor-league baseball for three years in the Detroit Tigers system.
Christmon hopes those different things will help the team.
"Baseball has been around longer, and some techniques are advanced and terminology is different," Christmun said. "Some players are more receptive to different things. The same thing said differently might click."
Bunge has high expectations for this season.
"Everybody has another year of experience under their belt," Bunge said. "I can't look at that any other way than positive. They know each other and the game better."
"Workman is the workhorse of the staff." Bunge said. "DeWinter has come a long way from last season. I'm expecting big things from her. If she can pick up where we left off last year she will do big things for us."
Starting pitchers Sarah Workman, 19-13 with a 1.29 earned run average last year, and Melanie DeWinter, 4-6, 2.63 ERA, will provide the team with veteran leadership, Bunge said.
Workman said she was happy to have most of last year's close-knit team back for her senior year.
I find a good ending last year, so considering
Although she is new to the team, freshman Leslie Sailor said she recognized how special the team's chemistry is.
We had a good ending last year, so considering start. "Workman said. 'We can only do better.'"
"If you can't get along, it's hard to work together on the field," Sailor said. "I think the strong point of this team is how motivational they are. Everyone, including the coaches, are so positive. They push you everyday."
Bunge hopes to push the team back to the NCAA regional and possibly to the College World Series this season.
"By no means do I believe we will go into the season a conference favorite," Bunge said. "We will have to prove it on the field; I think this team will rise to the challenge."
Bunge will find out when Kansas opens the fall season Sept. 18 at Iowa.

HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 3.
Today, little bitty things could get you in trouble if you let them. Pretend you're about to be subject to a "white glove" inspection. Even one little speck of dust could give you a demurrer. Now that you know, you can make your life shine like polished brass, right?
Taurus (April 20-May 20) : Today is a 9.
Love's still a dominant theme, although it may no be the romantic kind. It may be the kind you have with your children or your dearest friend, or even with your pet! Anyway, don't hold back. Let all those guys know how much you care. They'll be delighted!
Gemini (Mav 21-June 21): Today is a 4.
Today, somebody at home needs your attention — and needs you to listen. This isn't the easiest thing in the world for you to do. You're generally the person who's talking. But today, go ahead and let the roles reverse. You could find out something interesting.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Today is a 9.
Continue with your study project now. You shouldn't do anything else. If you can't think of something to study, getting organized is a wonderful thing to learn. If you can think of lots of other things, then organization should be the first on your list.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 5.
The abundance you're receiving now is partly from your work, but even more from work you've done in the past. Your wit and wisdom paid off before, and they're paying off again. Luckily, you don't have to do much 'cause you could be exhausted.
Virao (Aua. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 9.
You're always interested in what's going on, and you're good at gathering information. You remember where you store it so you can produce it when necessary. Do that with information you receive now. It could be quite valuable.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 4.
Rumors are going around, but be careful which ones you pass on. Follow through on a lead that could help you find a great bargain but don't tell everybody else about it. Maybe your best friend, but that's all.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 7.
A friend might help you understand your partner a little better. Something has you baffled, but to this other friend, it's relatively simple. So, discuss your situation and ask for help. You'll get it.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 4.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 4.
Generally speaking, Sagittarians are freewheeling people who don't like to be told what to do. Today, that could come up for you in spades. A person who's critical could be on you like plaid on pants. Try not to snap, especially if this person happens to sign your paycheck

You know that invention you were going to patent?
Or, was it an idea for a scientific expedition? All you need is a grant from a big company, or maybe the government. First, figure out what you want to accom plish and how. What will you prove? What will it cost? Somebody's got to do it, so why not you?
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 6.

You're catching all sorts of good advice again today, whether or not you want it. Actually, it's about as welcome as red ants at a picnic. To your critical friend, just say "thanks." You probably will be a better person for taking the advice, and that will cut down on the noise.

Ali's daughter prepares for first professional fight
VERONA, N.Y. — Muhammad Ali's youngest daughter, who earlier this year told her famous father that she wanted to follow in his footsteps, is finally ready to step into the ring.
Laila Ali will make her professional debut Oct. 8 at Turning Stone Casino on a card featuring Donovan "Razor" Ruddock. The opponent in the four-round bout for the 5-foot-10, 160-pound Laila Ali has not been announced.
Lalia Ali, 21, operates a nail salon and also models. NormalyLinner Cutter, Lalia's publicist, said Lalia had been getting tips from her father.
"She won't tell anyone, including me, what they are," Cutter said. "She says, 'When I have the greatest boxer of all time as my mentor, why would he's given me?' "
Muhammad Ali, who suffers from Parkinson's Disease, had told his daughter he didn't want her to get hurt.
Laila never saw her 57-year-old father box in person, and she had few memories of living with him. But by boxing, she thinks he will gain a greater appreciation for her as his child.
"He's naturally going to see himself in me," Laila said. "But for the first time, I think he actually can see that 'this is my child.' "

McEnroe named captain of U.S. Davis Cup team
NEW YORK — Just call John McEnroe captain now.
McEnroe, perhaps the most successful player in Davis Cup history, got his wish yesterday when he was appointed captain of a U.S. team that has not won the title since 1995.
"It's one of the proudest moments of my life," McEnroe said.
"Apparently it took this wonderful lady to show some guts finally, and I appreciate that."
the woman is Judy Levering, president of the U.S. Tennis Association. She selected McEnroe after meeting with Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Todd Martin and Jim Courier.
McEnroe succeeds Tom Gullikson, who had been U.S. Davis Cup captain since 1994 and compiled a 13-5 record, including the last championship in 1995. Gullikson will remain as director of coaching for the USTA's Player Development
Program.
MeEnroe has been passionate about this international event. The 40-year-old Hall of Famer played on five U.S. Davis Cup championship teams and has a 59-10 record. He competed in Davis Cup for 12 years and still holds six U.S. records.
The U.S. resumes Davis Cup play in February against an undetermined opponent.

Former Cyclone pleads guilty to sexual assault
In exchange for his guilty plea to one of the two counts of third-degree sexual assault against him, prosecutors will recommend that Spivey be given a suspended five-year sentence. Spivey, 21, will have to register as a sexual offender in Iowa for 10 years.
AMES, Iowa — Former Iowa State basketball player Travis Spivey will be sentenced in November after pleading guilty to having sex with a 15-year-old girl.
"The police and the victims were consulted prior to extending this plea offer, and both thought it was an appropriate resolution," said Dan Gonnerman, assistant Story County Attorney.
The plea was entered Friday in Boone County District Court.
Spive denied forcing either the 15-year-old or a 17-year-old girl, both

Rockies manager to retire at season's end
The Associated Press
MONTREAL — As he completes his 14th year as a major league manager, Jim Leyland has made it official: This season will be his last.
"Iam retiring, absolutely." Leyland said following the Rockies' 5-1 win against Montreal yesterday. "I'm ready to do something else in the game, and I'm not going to manage any more."
Denver-area newspapers reported yesterday that Leyland announced to his players prior to Monday's series opener his intention to retire at the end of the season.
Leyland would not field any questions about his managerial status following Tuesday's game. He
did, however, reveal his decision to reporters who cover the team on a daily basis and confirmed the substance of the reports yesterday.
"They've all been accurate," Leyland said.
Leyland did not discuss his c
"I'm not going into that," Leyland said. "I'm not going to go through it every day for the rest of the season. That's why I got it out."
On Tuesday, Leyland told the Denver Rocky Mountain News: "I will not manage a professional baseball team again. I can only do things one way, at 110 mph. I can't do it at 75 mph.

ROCKIES
I've got to approach it hell bent for leather, with every bit of energy. As far as a manager's position, I don't have the energy to do it anymore. I'm not going to steal money. I never have, and I never will."
Leyland, who managed the Florida Marlins to a World Series title in 1997, joined the Rockies in the off season after managing the Marlins for two years. He got a three-year, $6 million contract from Colorado.
Leyland established himself as one of the premier managers in the majors during his first 11 years with Pittsburgh, leading the Pirates to three straight NL East Division titles from 1990-92. Leyland has a 1,059-1,117 record as a major league manager.

Texas quarterback affirms starting role
By Michael T. Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan writerswritter
Times are changing in the Lone Star state.
Gone from the Texas football team is 1998 Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams. New to the Longhorns this season is freshman quarterback Chris Simms, the reigning USA Today High School Offensive Player of the Year.
And, through all the variables in Austin this season, sophomore quarterback Major Applewhite remained a constant.
A returning starter from last season, Applewhite was chosen as a preseason All-Big 12 Conference quarterback. This season, the stakes went up for Applewhite. Simms was willing to take his job and Applewhite needed to prove he was fully recovered
PETER BROWN
Applewhite: Eat sleeps, breaths 'football
from off-season appendix surgery.
After all, Applewhite has a habit of playing his best when it matters most, as witnessed by last season's 296-yard, two-touchdown performance at Nebraska and his 292-yard, three-touchdown performance against Mississippi State in the Cotton Bowl, both Texas victories.
This season, after Texas opened up with a disappointing 23-20 loss to North Carolina State, Applewhite almost single-handedly led the Longhorns to a 69-17 win against Stanford on Saturday. Applewhite threw for 353 yards and three touchdowns against the Cardinals and was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week.
Texas coach Mack Brown said Applewhite's determination nearly made him immune from the attention.
"There is so much publicity over quarterbacks that it put a tremendous amount of pressure on these guys," Brown said. "Major has an obsession to be good at what he does. He loves football. He studies football as much as anyone I've been around as head coach. He gets a lot of respect from the other guys because of his work ethic."
Brown was equally impressed with Applewhite's showing on Saturday against the Cardinals.
"That was the best we've seen him play." Brown said.
In that victory, however, Brown inserted Simms into the game in the fourth quarter.
Simms came to Texas this fall as the top high school recruit in the country, and Brown was quick to downplay a quarterback controversy. In fact, Brown said he played Simms on Saturday with the purpose of developing him.
"When you play in a time when defenses blitz so much, you're going to get a quarterback hurt," Brown said. "You are going to need a secondteam quarterback to play, so you need to recruit the best quarterbacks in the country."
Brown may find it difficult to put both quarterbacks on the field in the upcoming years because of their youth. Simms is a freshman, Applewhite is only a sophomore. The Longhorns also have redshirt freshman quarterback Adam Hall, another highly-recruited member of the class of 1999.
While many outsiders think the competition would drive Applewhite and Simms apart, Applewhite insisted that was not the case.
"Chris has been very fun to work with," Applewhite said. "Since I've had the opportunity to see a lot of game action, I've tried to pass on some insights to him from my experiences over the past couple of years." Simms agreed.
"Major has been great to me," Simms said. "I can't say enough about the way he's treated me and the relationship we've developed in a short period of time."

Football not the only game in town
This weekend will give me a good indication of how students here truly care about Javhawk sports.
Volleyball team deserves strong student support
The football team will open its season Saturday vs. California State-Northridge. I know that it's not exactly a Missouri or a Penn State coming to town, but each student gets a free ticket for each one they purchase. There is no excuse to not attend the football game Saturday night.
But the football game is the epilogue to the big weekend of Jayhawk sports. Just as important to the football game is the Kansas volleyball team.
The Jayhawks will welcome Texas Christian, Chicago State and Auburn for the annual Jayhawk Classic, which takes place tomorrow and Saturday at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Tomorrow's matches will begin at 2:30 p.m. Kansas will play at 5 and 7:30. Saturday play starts at 9:30 a.m. with Kansas will at 2:30 p.m.
At stake is Kansas' unblemished 4-0 record. A weekend sweep would give the Jayhawks their second-best start ever. Only in 1990 did Kansas have a better start when it began the season 8-0.
But despite the 4-10 record, coach Ray Bechard and middle blocker Amanda Reves realized that they were a long way from the level they need to be at
"Obviously it's good to be unbeaten, but looking at it from a broader picture, we are a ways from being at a level for Big 12 play." Bechard said.
"We did really well last year when we were 6-0." she said. "It's very

Reves, a senior, has been in a similar situation before.
important for us to win our tournament. It would give us a great start and we would go to Tennessee (next weekend) on a win streak and start Big 12 play with confidence."
Kansas starts Big 12 play Sept. 27 against Texas. This weekend will give the Jayhawks a variety of teams to face. Chicago State will be swep, given
1
its horrible 0-60 record in the past two-plus seasons. The Horned Frogs will provide better competition, but Bechard said that Texas Christian, at 1-4, was still progressing in its fifth year.
But the true test will come Saturday. Three-and-a-half hours before the football game starts, the volleyball team will battle Auburn. The Tigers play in the tough Southeastern Conference and are currently 3-1. They are led by

So you are still skeptical about coming out the the match Saturday? Think any sport that women play isn't worth it, huh? When I attended practice on Monday afternoon, I could not believe my eyes.
Lawrence High School graduate Jaunelle Hamilton, a two-time first team all-SEC performer.
I was grimacing at the thought of taking a Danielle Geronymy spike off my face. These women can play. Go check them out this weekend. If nothing else, students should go to check out Reves. She's 6-foot-1, is ranked in the top-10 in four Jayhawk career records, has been named to eight consecutive all-tournament teams and she is only Jayhawk to be named to an All-Big 12 team. She was honorable mention last year, but might challenge for a spot on the first or second team this year.
So grab three of your frat brothers, sorority sisters or beer buddies and kick back and watch some volleyball. Talk smack to the Tigers. It will be good preparation for the football game.
I know that many will attend the football game. But how many will attend the volleyball matches? Horejsi has a capacity of 1,300 people. That's 15,000 fewer than the capacity of Allen Fieldhouse. I bet it won't be filled either day. I've heard that Kansas students like nothing but basketball. I always have looked the other way, but I think it might be true.
Chiefs tackle and his wife establish charity

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Life can be tough for teen-age mothers and their children. Just ask someone who's been there.
"We know how hard it can be," Victor Riley, an offensive tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs, said Tuesday.
He and his wife, Kym, who both were born to teen-age mothers, have established a charitable foundation that will provide transitional
housing and other services for teen-age mothers and their babies.
Organizers hope to have the first group home for eight or fewer mothers operating within a year. It will be called Victory Place.
Participants likely will receive medical assistance, tutoring, job counseling mentoring and have access to transportation. Plans still are being finalized.
In addition, Victor Riley will develop a program of
chat sessions with Kansas City middle and high school students. He wants to

Football
Moss says team dragging its feet
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Randy Moss sounded the alarm. The star receiver said the Minnesota Vikings don't have that special feeling they did last year.
The Associated Press
He sees evidence everywhere — from the mood in the locker room to the play on the field. Things just aren't the same for this new cast of Vikings.
"I think it's probably something we probably could recapture," Moss said yesterday. "But last year, it was something special. It was something inside that knew the '98 Minnesota
Vikings were something special.
"And this year, we lost a lot of guys on defense. We have our whole
Moss's worries stem from a lackluster exhibition season in which the Vikings looked nothing like the team that went 15-1 last season.
offense back (but) we lost our offensive coordinator. ... So, there's a lot of things that we have to get used to."
They lost eight free agents in the off season and failed on draft day to shore up the holes left by the departures of defensive stars Jerry Ball, Derrick Alexander and Corey Fuller.
Despite returning all 11 starters, the offense, under new coordinator Ray Sherman, has yet to get on track.
Moss, who set a rookie record with 17 touchdown catches last season, alternately proclaimed his team
ready to put its troubles behind and
bemoan its many inadequacies.
"It's going to be hard. It's going to be a struggle this year," he said.
"You know there's a lot of high expectations this year for us to go out here and try to duplicate last season and I don't think there's any way possible — well, I wouldn't say any way possible that we can do that again — but it's going to be very hard to do."
"It kind of shocked me, to be honest with you, to see as far as the veteran group of guys we got playing the offensive line. ... You know it kind of hurts when it's third-and-short and then it ends up third-and-long." Moss said.
Moss said he was shocked by the shoddy preseason play of the veteran offensive line that was so integral to last season's success.
But Moss added that nobody can stop the Vikings if Todd Steussie, Randall McDaniel, Jeff Christy, David Dixon and Korey Stringer keep Randall Cunningham upright.
"We're going to put 60 points up on that board, 50, 60 points." Moss said. "We capable of that if everybody's on."
The Vikings visit the Georgia Dome Sunday to face the Falcons, who upset them in the NFC championship by holding Cunningham, Moss and the most productive offensive machine in league history to just one touchdown during the final 42 minutes in the thunderous Metrodome.
"You know, that loss to Atlanta's probably going to always be in the back of my mind." Moss said. "Probably until the day I died."
Miami looks to shed pass-only label
The Associated Press
MIAMI — If Jimmy Johnson has his way, this season will mark the end of an era for the Miami Dolphins.
The perennial sputtering ground attack, feeble short-yardage offense and reliance on Dan Marino to win games are things of the past. Johnson said.
"Everybody knows the running game has been our downfall for many years," he said. "We're determined we're going to run the football."
That mantra is predictable part of each Miami training camp, but this season there's reason to think Johnson's pledge might be fulfilled. He drafted two running
backs and a fullback and acquired a veteran guard and tight end, all with the goal of bolstering the ground game.
The Dolphins averaged 3.4 yards per carry last year, worst in the
NFL, and at that rate they'll never get to the Super Bowl. Short-yardage situations were especially vexing, so Johnson added some muscle, and the Dolphins say they're ready to flex it.
PITCHER
Rookie running back Cecil "the Diesel" Collins created the biggest buzz in training camp, but Miami's success or failure on the ground
likely hinges on what happens up front. And the offensive line could be the deepest and most talented in Johnson's four years as coach.
Donnale and guard Mark Dixon are beginning their second season in Miami and have settled into the offense. Three-time Pro Bowl guard Kevin Gogan and veteran tight end Hunter Goodwin, a fierce blocker, were acquired in the off season. Despite the absence of tackle Richmond Webb, who sat out all four exhibition games before signing a new contract, improvement was noticeable in training camp.
"No question they're much better as a group than last year," defensive end Trace Armstrong said. "They're really coming after guys and opening up seams and breaking runs on us in practice. A year ago it was unusual to see them break a big run against our group in practice. On paper, I'd say they can be as good as anybody."
"We've added size and power to the offensive line, tight end, fullback and running back," coach Johnson said.
The backfield should be better, too. Collinson, running back J.J. Johnson and fullback Rob Konrad were all acquired in the April draft.
Most of all, the Dolphins want to keep the ball on the ground, because experience has shown that's when they win.
In Johnson's first three seasons, the Dolphins were 17-4 when they rushed for 100 yards and 11-19 when they didn't.
Colts hope housecleaning improves 3-13 record
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS - A young offensive line and a rebuilt defense will tell only part of the story for the Indianapolis Colts in 1999.
Peyton Manning, the most prolific rookie passer in NFL history a year ago, and running back Edgerrin James, whom the Colts picked ahead of Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams in this year's draft, are major parts of the story.
But both of them will be behind a questionable line whose most experienced starter has only one year at his current tackle position.
Joining Tarik Glem, a first-round pick in 1997, are tackle Adam Meadows, guard Steve McKinney, center Larry Moore and guard
Waverly Jackson. The five have a total of 85 NFL starts among them.
"They played well in the preseason, but that doesn't mean a whole lot. You have to do it in the regular season," said Manning, who went through four exhibition games without being sacked.
"This is a good unit with five good athletes who will get better throughout the season. All of the guys can run and move well, have solid strength, and you can't ask for much more on an offensive line."
The Colts, 3-1 in exhibition games, open at home Sunday against Buffalo.
Coach Jim Mora and president Bill Polian put the roster through major revisions since the team compiled a league-worst 13-13 mark
for a second consecutive year in 1998. Only 13 players on the 53-man roster have survived the housecleaning since Polian was hired 20 months ago; 21 players have joined the Colts this year.
HORSESHOE
category and has spent heavily in an attempt to improve. Linebacker Cornelius Bennett, safety Chad Cota and defensive ends Shawn King and Chad Bratzke were signed to expensive contracts as free agents, and Vic Fangio replaced the fired Rusty Tillman as defensive
coordinator.
"Our defense last year ... conservative is probably too soft of a word," tackle Ellis Johnson said. "This defense we're playing now is very aggressive. He's (Fangio) a let's-get-after-it kind of guy."
The defense produced 19 sacks, half as many as the team had all last year, during the preseason.
"It says a lot. It says that we've got a lot of guys that are eager to rush the passer, a system where they can do it, and talent enough to do it." safety Jason Belser said.
Penguin
On offense, much of the spotlight will be on James. The 6-foot, 216-pound James, the No.4 pick overall in the draft, missed three weeks of training camp and two exhibition games as a holdout.

Davenport reaches U.S. Open semifinals
The Associated Press
NEW YORK— Defending champion Lindsay Davenport survived two match points and finally slipped past Mary Pierce yesterday to move into the semifinals of the U.S. Open.
Pierce, seeded fifth, double- faulted on match point to give Davenport the rain-splattered victory 6-2, 3-6, 7-5.
In a showdown of baseline boomers, Pierce won 12 consecutive points on her serve early in the final set and broke Davenport in the seventh game. When she held at love, she led 5-3 and was one game from victory.
Serving for a berth in the semifinals, Pierce reached her first match point at 40-30, only to have Davenport rip a backhand cross-court that just nipped the sideline. On her second match point, Pierce committed an unforced error, slapping a backhand wide.
Davenport finally broke through on the 12th point of the game when Pierce buried a forehand into the net, evening the match at 5-5.
That brought on the rain, sending the players into the dressing room for 70 minutes.
When they returned, Davenport held to 6-5, then had ad point or
her first match point. Pierce saved that one by pulling a forehand down the line.

second sailed long, ending her bid to upset the tournament's second-seeded player and the reigning Wimbledon champion.
In tomorrow's semifinals, Davenport will play No. 7 Serena Williams. The younger Williams defeated Monica Sela 4-6, 6-3, 6-2
The other semifinal will pit Martina Hingis against Venus Williams. No.1 vs. No.3.
The possibility still exists that the Williams sisters will meet for the title.
In her first U.S. Open two years ago, Venus Williams reached the final, where she quickly lost to Hingis.
"Last time, I honestly did not know what I was doing." Venus Williams said. "I'm a different player now."
Last year, Venus Williams reached the semifinals, only to fall to Davenport.
The men completed their quarterfinal matchups Tuesday with yet another retirement. Fifth-seeded Gustavo Kuerten advanced when Magnus Norman retired with a strained back after losing the first set 7-6 (7-4).
In other matches, Cedric Pioline ousted 14th-seeded Tommy Haas 6-4, 7-5, 6-3; Slava Dosedel defeated Jiri Novak 6-4, 7-5, 5-7, 7-5; and No. 7 David Martin rallied for a 5-7, 0-6, 7-6 (7-3), 6-4, 6-4 victory against No. 9 Greg Rusedski.
Hingis and Venus Williams will be meeting for the 11th time. Williams is 19, three months older than her Swiss opponent. Hingis
has won seven of their matches including their last meeting in San Diego this summer.
"We both go out there knowing we're going to have to play good tennis," Venus Williams said.

She broke Schett three times in the second set, the last time closing the match with a backhand return Schett couldn't touch.
Williams sparkled at night but Hingis had to solve the blustery winds during the day. She lost the first two games before winning the next 12 against Huber, playing as if the wind was part of her game plan.

Police plan for traffic, game-day confusion
By Michael Terry and
Katie Hallar

Kansan staff writers
Local police and area residents already have established their game plans for dealing with traffic and parking for tomorrow's football chaos.
Both the KU Public Safety Office and the Lawrence Police Department will be working to control crowds, parking and traffic around Memorial Stadium.
Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office said his department would be in full force for tomorrow's game, and it even has brought officers from the University of Kansas Medical Center to help with traffic and crowd control.
"Before the game starts, we'll have officers at key points on campus to control the traffic flow into the stadium," he said. "When fans start to leave the stadium, key streets on the campus will be designated as one-way streets."
- Mailen said KU public safety officers would be enforcing the noalcohol policy on campus. If spectators are caught possessing or consuming alcoholic beverages, they will be asked to dispose of the alcohol immediately or they will be issued a citation.
While the KU Public Safety Office prepares to handle crowds on campus, the Lawrence Police Department will be getting ready to control the surrounding area.
"It's going to be crazy," said Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence

The new, improved stadium is ready and so are the fans
No matter what, Jayha fans will flock to tomo. row's game.
With a new stadium, a replay screen and a chance to see the Jayhawks win their first game of the year, the fans will be there.
But, in truth, the fans would come anyway.
After all, it's the first ga of the year, and that mea getting together with friends over hot dogs, nachos and maybe even a beer.
Neal Bluel, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, said he planned on going to see the game and the new stadium. But, he said, the main focus of his afternoon would be barbecuing with friends.
"I'll be drinking, cooking out, stuff like that," Bluel said.
Others just craved the social atmosphere.

The MegaVision board is just one of the new additions to Memorial Stadium during the past two years. A new concourse, restrooms and lights were added last year, but the new press box and scholarship suites are more visible additions. But it's the MegaVision screen that garners most of the attention.
Jeff Lewis, Jewell freshman, said he thought it was his duty as a student to support the team. Tomorrow will be the first college sporting event he has attended.
"I'm a KU student, and you just have to go support the team," Lewis said. "Now that their one loss is out of the way, I'm pretty excited. I'm also kind of anxious to see the big board up and running."
Bluel said he had heard about the screen, but he wouldn't know if it was worth the hype until he saw it in action.

what kinds of girls are there and
who I see," said Mike Quillin,
Lawrence freshman.
"It's pretty neat," he said. "My roommate was telling me about it, but I don't know. I won't know until I see it."
Not only are some structural features new, but the east side of the stadium will have a revitalized presence as well. The H.A.W.K. Club, a club of 150 sports-loving students in matching T-shirts, will provide a voice from 15 rows behind the 400 yard-line.
For some fans, it's just an excuse to get together, but for others, the game is the main event.
"Basically, there will be sor new cheers and chants to get the stadium in to it," said Michael Henry, marketing and promotions director of the club, Helping Athletics Win at KU. "We're starting some new traditions. We're excited for our year."
While fans are looking forward to the night game, downtown restaurants are leery of what the timing will

Jon Francis, manager of Francis Sporting Goods, said the 6 p.m. game time was perfect for his store.
The Wagon Wheel Cafe, 502 W. 14th St., is traditionally a haven for alumni before and after games. However, its owner, Rob Farha, said he was unsure what to expect of tomorrow's attendance.
"It's a big question as far as what the 6 o'clock crowd wants to do," he said. "Plus, it's a Division LAA team, so we may not get as many alumni."

Renovations get Jaybowl bowling team rolling
Jaybowl staff and fans are up for a new year of bowling.Inspired by coming renovations and the success of last season's University of Kansas bowling team.
This fall, the recreational bowling area has increased the sections of bowling classes from 10 in the spring semester to 13 and has bought new video games, pinball machines and new camping equipment available for rent, said Mike Fine, Jaybowl manager and bowling coach.
The renovations — coming this spring — will include new lanes, more billiards tables, a snack bar and a live music venue for about 150 people.
The bowling team, which placed ninth in the national competition last year, has its first round of qualifying games Sunday.
Scott Light, Wichita Junior, said he transferred to the University to combine his interest in bowling with a graphic design major.
"KU is coming all the way," Light said. "It's getting real competitive."
The no-alcohol policy, which started in the Jaybowl last November, had a small effect on the traffic there. Fine said.
"Some people, probably, don't come here as much any more." Fine said. "But others like coming here exactly because of the alcohol- and smoke-free environment."
A bowling game costs $1.25 in the afternoon and $1.50 in the evening, down from the commercial price of $2.95 for adults. The shoe rental price is 35 cents, down from $1.50.

CLAS offering six choices for minors; may add more
Students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences already can take part in the new minors offered this semester.
After receiving approval from the College Assembly, the governing body in the college, six minors were approved last spring and now are in full swing.
Pam Houston, director of the college's undergraduate office, said students could minor in philosophy, anthropology, east Asian language and culture, linguistics, Italian and sociology.
"It's exciting because students can get them right now," she said.
"There aren't a lot of specifics either for the minors."
Houston said most of the minors' requirements include taking only a certain number of credit hours, nor
mally 18 to 24.
Seven more minors will go before the Committee on Undergraduate Studies and Advising next week. History, English, French, mathematics, physics, astronomy and atmospheric science are among those being considered.
"I would assume that most, if not all could be approved in October," she said. "Then they would be available for students to complete as soon as they are approved."
If the committee approves the minors next week, they will go before the College Assembly meeting Oct. 5.

U.S. warplanes attack Iraqi sites; 11 injured
BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S. warplanes bombed areas in northern and southern Iraq yesterday in attacks that left 11 people injured, the Iraqi armed forces said.
The U.S. military said its planes attacked air defense sites, while the Iraqi military said the planes attacked civilian and service installations, according to the official Iraqi News Agency.
In a statement issued by its European Command in Germany, the U.S. military said its planes dropped precision-guided bombs on a missile site near Mosul, 250 miles north of Baghdad, after coming under fire while patrolling the no-fly zone.
The U.S. Central Command in Saudi Arabia said American and British aircraft also bombed air defense sites in southern Iraq near the cities of Talili, Basra and As Samawah. All aircraft returned safely to base, the U.S. military statements said
Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has urged his commanders to step up their attacks on allied planes patrolling the no-fly zones, state-run newspapers reported this week.
The Iraqi armed forces said 11 people were wounded in the southern attacks. It made no mention of casualties in the north.
The zones were set up by the allied powers after the 1991 Gulf War. Iraq regards the zones as violations of international law and has been challenging the allied planes since December.

Kansas Union director caters to students' tastes
By Mindie Miller
Robert Pierrelee jumped onto a moving train when he became director of catering at the Kansas Union in July.
Special to the Kansan
When Adams Alumni Center gave up its food service operation in the Learned Club this summer as part of a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service, Union catering became the sole vendor for catering on campus.
"We do hundreds of events every week," Pierrelee said.
But Pierrelee is no stranger to the pressures that often accompany the food service business. He has worked in food service at racetracks, hotels and casinos for the past 20 years. For all of his experience, though, Pierrelee said that there was never a typical day in the business.
"You leave a lot of unstructured time for unexpected things." Pierreelee said.
He also said that catering services depends on student help to manage its heavy workload. The "Cash Caterers" program is designed for students who want to pick up
quick cash.
"It's real attractive because you get paid so quickly." Pierrelee said. "You can work on a Wednesday and get paid on Friday in time to go out. It's instant gratification."
Besides student help, he said that he inherited a wonderful staff when he took the job as catering director.
"My biggest contribution is to get out of the way of the creative people and let them do what they know how to do." he said.
Catering staff member Ellen Green praised Pierrelee.
Jay Glatz, manager of food services, said Pierreee was doing a great job.
"He has brought with him some fresh ideas and a really common-sense approach to a lot of things that needed to be updated," she said.
"The catering director is a very complex position because there are so many details to worry about," he said. "He's digging in and getting to know not just our operations, but the whole campus. I couldn't be more pleased with him."

University Council slams anti-evolution decision
By Nathan Willis
By Nathan Willis
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
University Council passed a resolution yesterday opposing the Kansas Board of Education's decision not to mandate evolution instruction in public schools, with only one member voting against it.
The resolution urged the board to rescind its Aug. 11 decision to remove evolution and the big bang theory from the state-mandated curriculum. It also encouraged local school boards to resist changing their current curriculums.
The council will send a letter expressing its position to local and state school boards.
"This will support those high school teachers who are trying to do their jobs," said Peter Gegenheimer, council member and professor of molecular biosciences who did much of the work on the resolution. "They need all the backing they can get."
But not everyone agreed. Allan Pasco,
professor in French, cast the lone vote against the proposal.
Pasco said he had listened to both sides of the issue and came to the conclusion that the University should remain neutral. He cited a recent debate he attended at which he heard both a creationist and evolutionist speak.
"I'd have to say the person supposedly representing the science position looked like a monkey by the end," Pasco said. "I want us to remain neutral."
Others, too, had some problems with the resolution during the council's debate.
"The question is: What does this accomplish?" said T.P. Srinivasan, professor of mathematics. "We are to assume that the State Board of Education is not going to rescind what they did."
Jim Carothers, professor of English and council president-elect, said the answer could be that it wouldn't accomplish much. In general, resolutions have little effect, he said.
"I can't say that I think this resolution,
if passed, will have any more effect than any other resolution that has ever been passed or ever will be passed," Carothers said.
But Gegenheimer said that the state board might have to vote again on the standards because of a technicality, in which case pressure from the University could have some effect. In any case, he said, the University could discourage local boards from modifying their standards.
"This adds fire to the chancellor's words," he said. "I think we strengthen both his position and our own."
The resolution also added power to Chancellor Robert Hemenway's outcries against the decision, said Michael Henry, the council's Student Senate representative.
And the council will continue to work to reverse the decision, Henry said.
"This is simply just the beginning," he said.

KU ACLU continues seal inquiry
By Clay McCuistion writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The KU chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union sent a letter requesting information about the University of Kansas seal to Chancellor Robert
Hemenway at noon yes terday.
The letter asked for the administration's explanation of the seal's representation of Moses praying to a burning bush and the Latin Bible verse circling the image. The group is concerned that the image and verse may viola

and state generally said to be in the First Amendment of the Constitution, which bans government-established religion.
Kevin Sivits, KU ACLU president, and Buddy Lloyd, the group's media director, wrote and signed the three-
Mary Burg, executive assistant to the chancellor, said Hemenway hadn't seen the letter yesterday because he was visiting the University of Kansas Medical Center. She said the chancellor would read the letter today and decide how to respond.
"At this point we're not aware of a possible answer that would make us happy," Sivits said. "That is why we are writing this letter."
He and Lloyd said if they had not received a response within a week, they would try to schedule a meeting with the chancellor.
"On its face, the seal seems problematic," said Lloyd. "This case has national ramifications."
The pair met yesterday morning with Richard Kurtinbach, executive director of the Kansas and western Missouri affiliate of the ACLU. The affiliate, which has the power to file complaints and pursue legal action,
oversees the KU chapter of the group.
"This is very, very early in the process of the development of the matters," Kurtinbach said. "They've made a very polite request to the University to get their side of it."
He said legal precedents existed in which a public seal was challenged because of a religious message.
"There is a developing body of law that would imply a possible civil liberties issue at KU." Kurtinbach said.
He said that body of law included cases in Albuquerque, N.M., and Edmund, Okla., where city seals were
"There is the element of the tradition of the use of the seal, and people have very strong ties to their alma mater. I'm sure many people would see the questioning of the seal as harmful to that tradition."
Richard Kurtinbach executive director, ACLU of Kansas and western Missouri
successfully challenged because of the inclusion of religious symbols or phrases.
The ACLU's questioning of the seal has become an issue in local media, with features appearing on television news programs and in newspapers.
"There is the element of the tradition of the use of the seal, and people have very strong ties to their alma mater," Kurtinbach said. "I'm sure many people would see the questioning of the seal as harmful to that tradition."
Sivits wasn't surprised by the media attention.

Alcohol group to compensate hangers of ad
By Nathan Willis
writer @kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Poster may put $5 in pocket
Hang a poster on your door. Get $5.
That's the offer the social norms media campaign has made to students who live in residence and scholarship halls.
The posters promote drinking in moderation, while the department of student housing maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward any consumption of alcohol. That difference in approach initially caused housing a little consternation about displaying the posters in the halls, said Kimberly Grassmeyer, assistant director of student housing.
If members from the media campaign — which is trying to reduce alcohol abuse at the University of Kansas — spot a poster on a door when they begin scouring the halls in a week or two, the room's residents will receive $5.
"We have struggled with it a little bit," she said.
The posters state that most KU students have zero to five drinks when they party and list other facts designed to show that most KU students drink moderately. Between 3,500 and 4,000 of the posters were given to the department of student housing, which in turn distributed them to the eight residence halls and nine scholarship halls on campus, Berkley-Patton said.
But, Grassmeyer said, the social norms campaign condemns illegal uses of alcohol such as underage drinking, which also is a primary housing goal. Thus, she said, the goals of the two
Jannette Berkley-Patton, project facilitator, said the campaign probably would hand out between $150 and $200 in rewards to about 30 or 40 people. But, she said, no one knew for sure how much until the campaign finished handling out money.

programs were omitted.
In the residence halls, however, this discrepancy may be unnoticeable, simply because students living there have posted very few posters.
"Some people have opened their mailboxes and put them immediately in the trash." Grassmever said.
Christen Knaack, Leawood junior and Templin Hall resident, agreed.
"I haven't seen any up,' she said. "I don't think anybody's going to put them up."
The poster now inhabits a place on her wall — but she and her roommates are not using it as the media campaign intended.
"We have it up, white side up, so we can write on it," Knaaid said. "I think the free paper was more of a draw than the $5."
Grassmeyer said the poster had better penetration in the scholarship halls.
Danielle Sullivan, Abilene freshman and Sellards Hall resident. agreed.
"I know lots of people who have hung it up to get the
$5," she said. "Everybody is displaying it."
Still, Sullivan had qualms about the message on the poster.
"First of all, five drinks you're drunk," she said, referring to the five drinks that the poster calls moderate drinking. "I think they need to lower their limit or just say, 'Most KU students drink in moderation.'"
Knaack, too, doubted the poster's effectiveness.
"There's no message to it," she said. "It doesn't seem to say anything."
Still, Berkley-Patton said a similar poster campaign at Northern Illinois University, the institution which the University is mirroring in its social norms media campaign, had worked well. She said the poster campaign was exactly how the media campaign wanted to spread its message.
"Our whole point is to make sure our media messages come from the students," Berkley-Patton said.

Lazer loses individuality with format changes
Loyal audience appreciated a modern rock alternative
the Lazer, 105.9 FM, is changing. Through a slow but sure evolution in the upcoming weeks, the Lazer we've come to know and respect will lose its current identity and its modern rock format will include more Top 40 songs.
This should cause serious and vocal protests by University students, who according to a KJHK poll, listen to the Lazer more than any other station.
You need to know, as informed Lawrence residents, several things. The Lazer, a business like any other in town, is susceptible to the pressures placed upon it by a business marketplace continuously mainstreaming and downsizing. At the same time, Lawrence is a college town with a strong base of ever-disappearing local businesses. The independent approach of many small businesses have helped shape the identity of the town.
But in 1988 when the Lazer was bought by the Zimmer Group, a group of radio investors out of Cape Girardeau, Mo., the future of the station became uncertain, at least to Lazer employees and listeners.
Commercial radio stations want to make as much money as they can. Money comes from advertising, which increases with a broader listener base. Sadly, sometimes that involves changing a station's identity, something the Lazer traditionally had worked hard to attain and proud display.
In *Radio and Records*, a trade publication that translates "station identity" into numbers, Lawrence is lumped into the Kansas City radio market, the 30th largest in the country. As of May, *Radio and Records* placed the Lazer in the alternative category (a demographic aimed at males 18-24) and ranked it 10 among all stations in the Kansas City market.
Bands like Everclear claim Lawrence as their second home and not without reason, as 105.9 was first in line to play those groups
— a key break for a band shooting for greatness. And as recently as last year, Rolling Stone magazine voted the Lazer as one of the ten stations in the country that don't suck. You even can turn to the Arbitron ratings, the industry standard for listserving polling, and see proof of the Lazer's success.
Further, a survey taken at last year's Dave Matthews Band concert in Kansas City revealed that on the way to the show, the majority of those polled were listening to none other than 105.9.
These figures, along with KJHK surveys, signal that KLZR is doing fine and doesn't need a major overhaul.
Recently, Zimmer Group brought in program director Chad Elliot to implement format changes. In a recent interview with the Kansan, Elliot said, "We're evolving it to serve Lawrence better." When asked about the move toward mainstream radio play, Elliot stated reassuringly that he and
the station weren't concerned with competition from Top 40 radio stations in Kansas City and that his company was committed to the community.
Confusing.
Here's the short and long of it.
Here's the shot and long of it. The Zimmer Group wants the Lazer to be the most profitable station it can be. But the modern rock format excludes a large potential listenership, according to extensive company polling. Apparently, modern rock is simply not the best way to accomplish profit goals, leading to the inclusion of Top 40.
This change is unfortunate. It reflects the trend in commercial radio in which familiarity (or conformity) means greater listenership, which in turn means more advertising dollars. General manager Hank Booth is confident that this change will allow the Lazer to reach a wider audience, especially in Lawrence, through enhanced community visibility.
It's clear that commercial radio is a business, where the bottom line is about market share and revenue rather than idealism and individuality. As consumers, students should make their opinions known about the change and let the Lazer know the format change is not welcomed. Hopefully, the tables will turn and they'll listen to their loyal customer base.

Perspective
Holy Moses! Will our University be labeled a parochial school?
T the University of Kansas chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union has been busy lately.
Yesterday, the KU ACLU delivered a letter to the chancellor asking him to explain why the University's seal uses a seemingly religious symbol. Next Wednesday, they'll be handing out chalk on Wesco Beach to draw attention to the recent controversy about chalk scribbling on campus sidewalks.
According to Buddy Lloyd, media
director for the KU ACLU, the group's small inquiry about the University seal could become part of a much bigger national push to keep church and state separate. How could this happen?
It seems that somehow this summer, Kansas got itself tangled up in a nasty church vs. state

battle. While I was busy fishing at a lake in South Dakota (literally — I wasn't recruiting Christians), the Kansas Board of Education created a plan to put our state back on the w
Let's face it, we were all tired of the Toto jokes, so the BOE took it upon itself to give us another claim to fame and invite some serious scrutiny about evolution in education. Whoops.
Now it seems the Kansas City-based Kansas ACLU office has taken an interest in the University seal's depic
tion of Moses in front of the burning bush. Even more ominously, there are rumblings from national legal organizations as well.
"That's not a religious symbol. It's a symbol of the quest for knowledge," you might say. But according to the national ACLU and the Coalition for Separation of Church and State, you'd be wrong. And while that might not mean a lot to you or me, the 10th Circuit Court agrees. It seems that the police department in Albuquerque, New Mexico, had a similar Bible-quoting slogan, also in Latin, that was deemed unlawful by the court and subsequently removed.
FYI, for you folks keeping score at home, Kansas is also in the 10th circuit. That means if big-time ACLU lawyers take this to court, KU likely will lose.
Unfortunately, most of the nation doesn't make the distinction between the Kansas Board of Education and the University of Kansas. Most people, maybe even the smart folks at the Kansas ACLU, think that somehow the two are linked. So if they can strike a blow to the University, they can strike a blow to the Board of Education.
This puts the University in a difficult situation, because if this case gets nationwide attention and the University chooses to defend its seal, the University will be strangely allied with the BOE as an organization that mixes church and state.
Chancellor Hemenway has done an admirable job denouncing the board's decision and reaffirming the University's commitment to science. Unfortunately, that commitment hasn't been covered by the nation$^{1}$
media, and, if the ACLU brings the seal case to court, he's in a tight spot.
If he defends the seal, the University risks being grouped with the Board of Education. If he lets it go, the University loses a big part of its heritage. That's why he gets the big bucks.
What does it mean for the University if the seal is ruled illegal? Well, not too much. Basically it would have to be removed from campus stationery, business cards, and, most unfortunately, the big plaque in front of Budig. But on the upside, the "smart" card you are carrying in your pocket will technically be deemed unlawful. (That will be a sweet day, and a great time to rethink the whole idea.)
If the seal is changed, don't get mad at the ACLU. Sure, it may seem that group members are a bunch of rabble-rousers who spoil our fun. But all they want to do is run the seal up the constitutional flagpole to see if anyone will salute.
If you need to place blame somewhere, blame it on the part of the First Amendment that says that government can't establish a religion. If you want, you also could blame it on the Board of Education. I bet you never thought voting for the BOE mattered. Boy. were you wrong.
I really like the University seal. Since I was a Catholic school kid, being able to read the motto on the seal somehow justified that Latin class I had to take. But if it gets sacrificed for a greater cause, and somehow the Board of Education learns a lesson from all this, that's all right with me.

United States should not be afraid of ideas
It's been nearly 30 years since Engel vs. Vitale, the landmark 1962 Supreme Court case that outlawed prayer in America's public schools. Unfortunately, that's not quite what happened, and therein lies the problem that teachers and administrators have been wrestling with ever since.
What this decision actually declared unconstitutional was mandatory, state- or school-sponsored prayer. That is, schools cannot require students to pray against their will, and they especially cannot make students use prayers that are written by school districts or the state.
Beyond that, everything else is pretty much
ran game, and extremists on both sides of the debate have been shouting at each other ad nauseum. Extreme religious conservatives blame Engel for every social ill under the sun, from lower test scores to teenage pregnancy to drug abuse. Liberal extremists use Engel to justify the complete removal of anything that even sounds religious from public schools, no matter what.
Flash forward to Texas
Flash forward to Texas 1999. Cheerleader Marian Ward wanted to lead her peers in a prayer before a football game. The principal of Santa Fe High School, where Marian attends, said that such a thing wouldn't be permitted. "The students will be disciplined just as if they had cursed," he was quoted as saving.
Jennifer Roush guest columnist opinion @karan.com
Although a court order stopped the threatened expulsion, and the prayer went off without a hitch or a complaint, such intervention shouldn't have been necessary. Since when have Americans been afraid of ideas? Or more accurately, why should we have to be afraid of ideas such as religion and prayer? We may
not be a Christian nation, as some on the right have claimed, but we are a deeply spiritual nation. Poll after poll shows that at least 90 percent of us believe in some sort of supreme spiritual being.
So why does a deeply religious man, like the Texas high school principal, threaten to expel a student for leading a voluntary prayer at a football game?
Fear. Fear of lawsuits, and fear born of an ignorance of what the law truly is.
Liberal groups like the American Civil Liberties Union have put the fear of God, so to speak, into America's public school officials. Teachers are afraid to teach anything about the nation's religious roots or the ideals of our Founding Fathers. Administrators are afraid to allow children to pray or read religious texts on school property.
What the ACLU has done in the years since Engel vs. Vitale is essentially to align itself, in the minds of the American public, against any sort of display of religious belief in American classrooms. While this isn't quite what the organization believes, the perception is there and won't be leaving any time soon.
In its zeal to protect children of minority faiths or no faith at all from the tyranny of the majority, the ACLU has set the scene for the backlash that is occurring right now in classrooms and school board meetings across the country. Many people are so afraid that they'll be sued by the ACLU for allowing religious expression that they either censor it all or, worse yet, they work harder to cram their seemingly besieged beliefs down the throats of bewildered schoolchildren.
This isn't fair to students, parents or religion. And it says bad things about an organization with such lofty goals.
As long as there are tests, the old joke goes, there will be prayer in schools. Let us hope that the ACLU doesn't bully students out of that too.

I have watched with increasing disbelief as the furor over a misleading UDK article has grown to ridiculous extremes. In answer to an inquiry from Nathan Willis (UDK, Aug. 26) I expressed concern about the increasing amount of commercial "advertising" that was covering campus — not only in chalk writing on the walkals, but on walls of buildings, as well. I also said — and it was reported in that article — that any policy changes concerning commercial advertising via chalk would come from university governance, not from me. Nothing I said to Mr. Willis pertained to private speech, and I certainly was not thinking of private speech when I responded to Mr. Willis' inquiry.

Downtown face-lift moves ahead after lull
By Derek Prater
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
After a lull in action this summer, the Downtown 2000 redevelopment project is gaining momentum with plans for a new Lawrence Arts Center in tow.
Jeff Shmalberg, a partner in 9-10 L.C., the private developer in the project, said that pressure to get the arts center done was pushing work on the project, which is planned for the 900 block of New Hampshire Street.
On the west side of New Hampshire Street, the project would include a multilevel parking garage with about 500 public spaces, retail and commercial projects and office space.
The east side of the street would include more retail commercial and office space, as well as the new arts center.
Dale Glenn, an architect for Glenn Livingood Penzler Architects, who is working on both the arts center and the commercial development of Downtown 2000, said that the arts center design was being worked out with the Lawrence Arts Center Board of Directors.
"We're very close to a final scheme," Glenn said. Glenn said he expected that at the next arts center board meeting, a plan would
DOWNTOWN
be sent to the city commission with a recommendation for submittal to the Historic Resources Commission.
The earliest the Historic Resources Commission would be able to consider the plan would be at its Oct. 21 meeting.
Shmalberg said that crews could begin work on the commercial part of the project any time after the first of the new year and that progress on the arts center won't be tied to commercial development.
Initial plans for the Downtown 2000 project were authorized by the Lawrence City Commission in Februarybut did not include a new building for the arts center.
The arts center was added to the project in May after an expansion of the old Carnegie library building, 200 W. Ninth St., was rejected by the Historic Resources Commission.
Adding the arts center required drafting a new ordinance to establish another redevelopment district. In August, city commissioners passed the ordinance, which required approval from both the county and the school district.
As part of the redevelopment project, the city, the county and the school district agreed to give up all new taxes the development would create to repay the tax increment financing, or TIF bonds, that would help finance the public portions of the project.
The total investment in the project is about $27 million, with about $17 million invested by the city for parking, infrastructure and the arts center and about $10 million invested by the private developers.
Shmalberg said that there also would be 24 apartments and the possibility of a hotel on the parking lot that was obtained this summer from Mercantile Bank, 900 Massachusetts St., in a land-for-money deal. Shmalberg said that fewer than 24 parking spaces in the new garage would be reserved for Mercantile Bank employees.
Shmalberg said the project would create about 43,000 square feet of retail space. about 16,000 square feet of living space and about 26,000 square feet of office space.
Glenn said that design plans for the private development were still being refined but that progress was moving along well.

Lewis Hall vacancies surprise some residents
By Lori O'Otoole
writer@Kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Lewis Hall has 22 vacancies despite its previous waiting list of hundreds of people and the high demand for space in the new building, leaving some residents confused.
Ken Stoner, Department of Student Housing director, said that there were several no-shows and cancellations in Lewis, which he said was common in all residence halls. He said students often moved out of halls or swapped rooms at the beginning of the year.
Because of the common chaos caused by the moving and switching, Lewis has been left with some empty snacks.
The hall has a capacity of 270 students, but 248 students live there.
Stoner said the approximate 93 percent occupancy was typical for the residence halls.
"We consider anything over 90 percent to be good," he said. "We open every building with some vacancies. It's just the nature of the beast."
But to some Lewis residents, vacancies were a surprise considering the high demand for space in the hall.
Lewis had a waiting list of hun dreds of people before it was throw out at the beginning of the semester
Stoner said nearly every incoming freshman who applied through the department of student housing requested to live in a suite-style residence hall at Lewis or Templin Halls
About 50 percent of Lewis' residents are returning students, demonstrating that the demand for space in the renovated building was not only among freshmen.

has one of the 22 vacancies in his quad room.
"Hardly any of the quads on my floor are full," he said.
Reed, who has two roommates instead of three, lives on Lewis' fifth floor, where there are seven vacancies.
Reed said that he did not expect there to be as many vacancies on the floor because of the large number of people who wanted to live in Lewis.
"That's kind of odd that there's a third of the vacancies on the fifth floor," Stoner said. "It's a strange coincidence."
Stoner said students who requested to live in Lewis but were not assigned there might not want to move to the available spaces.
"Once students get assigned, the question is do you really want to move," he said. "Especially if they are comfortable where they are, and they're getting along with their roommates. There will be other room changes, but the big bulk of it is taken care of."
Stoner said students who want their names reaffirmed on the Lewis waiting list must contact the department of student housing.
Reed said he and his roommates did not mind the vacancy in his suite.
"We like it," he said. "There's more room. We hope to have it to ourselves at least until semester."

Streets near stadium to convert to one way

Police Department.
Wheeler said the Lawrence Police Department did not allow officers to take game days off. Two shifts, with about 50 officers, will be working during tomorrow's game.
"We put as many officers as we can on bicycle, motorcycle and foot patrol," Wheeler said. "We want them to have access to the streets."
Some streets near the stadium will convert into one-way, no parking or bus parking zones. Wheeler said Lawrence officers would post signs 24 hours in advance so residents could adjust accordingly.
Vehicles in violation of the temporary traffic guidelines will be towed
Some students hope to take advantage of the limited parking at Memorial Stadium. Many area residents will be selling parking spaces in their front yards.
Brooke Corcoran, Fort Dodge, Iowa, junior, lives three blocks from the stadium on Maine Street. Corcoran said she and her roommates planned to peddle about 24 spaces in their yard.
"They're going to be jammed in here," she said.
Corcoran said she planned to

charge between $7 and $15 for each space.
"We'll probably start out high and bargain," she said.
The Lawrence Bus Co. is offering another alternative. It will be operating shuttle buses from the parking garage and Lot 90 by Robinson Center to Memorial Stadium. Fans will be able to park for free and then ride to the stadium for $1 each way.
"Fans need to understand that the lots closest to the stadium fill up very quickly," Mailen said. "It would be a smart idea to park in a shuttle area and ride the bus to the game."

Stolen parking tag fee leaps to $75
Erinn R. Barcomb Special to the Kansan
A stolen parking permit is no longer just a $3 inconvenience.
In the past, that was how much it cost to replace a stolen parking permit. Beginning this semester, students must pay the full $75.
"One of the rules we had contributed to the reporting of stolen tags. The way we had it set up, it was cheaper if it was stolen," said Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said 42 permits were reported stolen between August 1998 and May 1999.
New computer software has made it possible for hand-held ticket writers to recognize lost or stolen permits that have been registered with the department while the machine is issuing a ticket.
A car using a lost or stolen permit will be towed, the owner of the vehicle will be fined $65 and the police will be notified.
The parking department has asked to be notified if a permit is lost or stolen. A police report must be filed if the permit is stolen, and the department recommended that students file a report for missing permits as well.
A pro-rated refund is available for the second permit if the lost or stolen permit is recovered.
Hultine said KU public safety officers pushed for stickers, while Chancellor Robert Memenway wanted to offer students a choice.
The possibility of theft increases when students have purchased hang tags instead of stickers. Students with hang tag parking permits do have a way to keep their $75 commodities safe, though. Free plastic locks are available from

think twice," Hutine said. She said students who preferred hang tags liked their mobility.
"Most of the people who have hang tags are people who want to move them from car to car," Hultine said.
She suggested that students who car pool and share a permit should make one person responsible for the tag. Drivers in violation are ticketed by the permit, not by the vehicle.

Saul Heide had visions of tailgating with friends before home football games when he moved into his stadium-side apartment last month.
But those dreams faded away when Heide, Downs sophomore, read in his lease that he would not have access to his house's parking lot during home-game days.
He is one of six tenants who live in the house at 1031 Mississippi St., directly northeast of Memorial Stadium.

Lehman said his company recently took over the property, and tomorrow would be his first time to rent spaces to football spectators.
However, he said the previous owner rented the spaces in past years.

Heide said he and the other tenants must have their vehicles out of the lot by 9 a.m. or they will be fined.
Heide said he plans on parking his car at his sister's house on Ohio Street and walking several blocks back to his apartment.
"I'm pretty upset because I was looking forward to having a bunch of friends over to do some tailgating," he said. "It's so close it would be really convenient."

Architecture school up for accreditation
By Amanda Kaschub
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The School of Architecture's reputation will be on the line Sunday when the National Architecture Accreditation Board comes to evaluate the program.
Board members will stay at the University for four days to decide whether or not the program deserves to be reaccredited. The evaluation occurs every five years, said John Gaunt, dean of the school.
"They will do a full and exhausting analysis of the program," he said. "There are 37 criteria, and they will examine it all in detail."
The criteria range from the school's ethics to verbal writing skills to building codes and human behavior.
Donna Luckey, chairwoman of the architecture programs, said the board would look at students' artwork, which would be displayed all week along with class exams and syllabi.
"They are going to be looking at every class at every level," she said. "We have given them a written report about how we meet the criteria."
As part of the requirements, the School of Architecture will display hundreds of works from undergraduate and graduate students in Marvin Hall and the Art and Design gallery. The exhibit will run through the week under normal gallery hours and is open to the public.
The School of Architecture has had an accredited program since the 1920s. Gaunt said he did not foresee a problem with being reaccredited.
"We don't have any reason to be concerned." Gaunt said. "It's an absolute necessity for any top school to be reaccredited."
Gaunt said the only flaw in the school that might cause a problem would be the lack of space in Marvin Hall.
If the board determines that the school does not pass all of the criteria, the school could be put on a three-year probation period. Luckey said being reaccredited should not be a tough task for the school.
The accrediting board also will talk with School of Architecture administrators, Chancellor Robert Hemenway and students before making its final decision.
On Sunday, the team will meet with administrators to get to know them better. Students will be able to voice their opinions at an open forum on Monday afternoon, time to be announced, and at
a joint forum with faculty and students at 12:30 p.m. Sept. 15 at Marvin Hall.
Jeremy Crabb, Kansas City, Mo. senior in architecture, said attending a forum would be a good experience.
"The architecture school has a good reputation," he said. "They usually keep the best students."
Gaunt said the evaluation allowed the school to hear opinions from outside and inside the school.
The final decision will be presented to the Chancellor and architecture administrators on Wednesday in an informal report that will address any concerns from the board. Afterward, the board will send out a formal report, discussing any problems in the criteria.
"It's a time of intense self-evaluation," he said. "We're not seriously lacking anything, but we're not perfect either."

Students missing class may need to prove why
By Amber Stuever
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
For some University of Kansas professors, "My dog ate my homework" or "My grandmother died again this week" just won't cut it as an excuse for missing class.
So students looking to get out of class, papers or tests, need to get creative.
Lindsey Douglas, St. Louis junior, knew it would take more than a weak alibi to get excused form her Spanish final to see her brother play basketball for Truman State in the Division II Final Four tournament in the spring. She told her professor she had a wedding to attend, but he asked to see documentation.
"I had to go to Kinko's that night," she said.
"The next day I gave my teacher the invitation, and I totally got out of it," Douelas said.
Douglas browsed the Internet for a legitimate church and address, inserted a date and the name of her brother and his ex-girlfriend and had the invitation printed
However, some professors and teacher's assistants aren't about to be fooled by illegitimate excuses.
Charity Alloway, Conway Springs senior, had to miss a journalism class and turn in a small assignment late when her grandfather passed away in the spring. The professor insisted Alloway fax her an obituary in advance of the funeral and could still not guarantee her there would be no penalties for the late paper.
"I know there are people that make up funeral or death in the family excuses
all the time." Alloway said. "But I think for people who have a legitimate excuse, it's going over the line to ask for an obituary or funeral program."
Katy Brown, graduate teacher's assistant in linguistics, said she always asked for documentation when a student missed a test. She formed her policy on excuses because of a student who once claimed to have been pregnant and miscarried. The student took off a couple weeks and received lots of sympathy, Brown said.
"Of course no one is going to ask for documentation on a miscarriage," she said.
But when she discovered the student was lying, she learned to ask students for proof.
"Thate to do it, but I ask for a little card from a funeral even, and I tell them why," Brown said.
Jewish students who asked to be excused for religious holidays have also faced suspicious professors. Tonight at sundown signifies the start of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year.
Julia Wagman, Houston junior, said that although the holiday doesn't start until sundown, some Jewish students might ask to be excused to travel to services. Although most teachers have been understanding in the past, she said, some were suspicious.
"They might talk to me about it and dive in and ask questions about it to see if I'm telling the truth," she said.
Brown said she would excuse a student who missed because of the holiday.
"If they can get the rabbi to write something, I'm fine with that," she said.
"But I prefer to have it written in Hebrew."

Laundry washes away funds
Kansan staff writer
Jayhawkter Towers resident Courtney Pence takes her clothing from a campus washing machine and places the drenched burble into a driver.
A stack of quarters waits to perform a ritual that Pence has too often performed. The quarters cause vociferous metallic, hollow noises as they entice the dryer to begin its rhythmic dance — one some campus residents feel is the plundering of their already empty pockets.
"I always have to use more than the proposed 75 cents to get my clothing halfway dry," said Pence, Ottawa junior. "I realize that it is not a major social ill, but it gets kind of irritation."
The laundry machines installed in campus residence halls are Maytag products contracted out by the Jetz Co. Inc., 901 N.E. River Rd., Topeka. Jetz has been in business for more than 30 years.
It costs residents 75 cents to use the washing machine and an additional 75 cents to use the dryer. Students may add another quarter for an additional 15 minutes of drying time.
"In the industry as a whole people try to put in more than what is considered an average load to save themselves from having to do another load later," Sommers said. "A washer will take a slight overload and wash satisfactorily, but when you take that slight overload to a timed drier of 45 minutes, you're going to run into a drying problem."
Ron Sommers, vice president and general manager of Jetz, said that the standard drying time was 45 minutes for 75 cents but declined to comment on Jetz's earnings per year.
10
Jeremy Hartman, Drexel, Mo., freshman and McColum Hall resident, said that he put normal loads of laundry into the dryer but still found damp clothes after 45 minutes.
"It's very frustrating to have to put on damp underwear and socks because the laundry

never fully dries." Hartman said.
Sommers said that students needed to adjust for heavier articles, such as bath towels and jeans, because they tend to retain more water.
"Students should lighten the load with heavier articles and add a dry bath towel," Sommer said. "That will speed up the drying process because it gives somewhere else for the moisture to be pulled from the clothes. But it won't help in overloading."
"I've heard people complain, but I've never had a problem with my clothes drying," Brand said.
Molly Brand, Valley Falls freshman and Hashinger Hall resident, said that her clothes always have dried perfectly using smaller loads of laundry.
Ken Stoner, director of the Department of Student Housing, said that he had not received any complaints about the dryers. He said that students who had problems should contact the department.

Greek lock-in to offer games without alcohol
By Lori O'Toole

writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
About 800 to 900 greek members are expected to attend an alcohol-free party tonight at Robinson Center for games, a movie and a chance to win a trip for two to Walt Disney World.
The New Member Lock-in, which is planned to run from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., was organized by Greeks Advocating Mature Management of Alcohol, an auxiliary group of the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Association.
She said last year was the first time the event was offered and only about 200 people were invited to attend. Each house was limited in the number of new members it could send.
"We want to offer a setting to the new members that's a fun, social environment," said Jennifer Kinney, assistant director for Greek programs. "There's not that pressure of drinking and not drinking."
one first year was kind of a trial process," Kinney said. "Because we got through the first year pretty smoothly, we wanted to open it up to all new members this year."
Some chapters have required that new members attend, while others are leaving the decision to the individuals.
Greek members who assisted with formal recruitment and worked with the new sorority and fraternity members also were invited.
Planned activities include food, dancing, rock climbing and a showing of the movie Notting Hill on a 16-by 20-foot screen.
Local businesses donated a variety of prizes for the event, including a football autographed by Terry Allen, a basketball autographed by Roy Williams, T-shirts and free meals.
Kinney said the trip to Walt Disney World would be awarded at the end of the party. She said that the trip's recipient would be determined by a drawing and that the person would have to be present to win.
She said Walt Disney World donated the trip, which included two nights at a Disney hotel and admission to Disney theme parks. She said greek programs would pay the air fare for the recipient and a guest.
Bryce Miller, Hutchinson freshman and new member of Sigma Nu, said he and the other 24 new members were required to go.
"It's just something else we have to do for the house," Miller said. "If it were our choice, there's probably not many of us that would go."
Rachel Adams, Shawnee freshman and new member of Delta Delta Delta, said she planned on attending the event.
Adams said that most of the new members in her chapter were planning to go.
"It will be nice that everybody can get together," she said. "We don't know that many people from other pledge classes."
She said she was excited to have a chance at winning prizes, especially the trip to Walt Disney World.
"It would be an added bonus if I did," Adams said. "But I'm not going just because of that."

Church: Indonesian militias target clergy
The Associated Press
DILI, Indonesia — The Roman Catholic Church has accused pro-Indonesian militiamen of targeting nuns and priests in predominantly Catholic East Timor, where voters overwhelmingly have chosen independence from mostly Muslim Indonesia.
International outrage grew yesterday, with the Pentagon suspending official relations with the Indonesian military and foreign ministers at an Asia-Pacific summit demanding that Indonesian leaders stop the rampaging militias. While some countries advocated an international peacekeeping
"The world is talking, and we're dying," said nun Esmeralda da Araujo to the Vatican's newspaper L'Osservatore Romano.
force, key nations shied away from committing troops absent an invitation from the Indonesian government.
U. N. officials in East Timor's capital, Dili, prepared to evacuate all but a skeleton staff.
Keeping the U.N. compound open is vital to the world body's plans to bring East Timor to full nationhood after its people voted overwhelmingly on Aug. 30 for independence from Indonesia, which invaded in 1975. The result triggered a backlash of looting, burning and killing by anti-independence militias. The Indonesian army had pledged to ensure security.
Fifteen priests and some nuns have been reported killed in Dili and Baucau. Caritas Australia said its East Timor office head, the Rev. Francisco Barreto, and most of his
"The militiamen have launched a targeted action of retaliation against the Timorese church, accused of having backed the cause of independence," Fides said.
staff had been killed.
Refugees in the camps said their neighbors were killed, their bodies dumped and mutilated in the days after the United Nations announced the referendum's results. Many spoke yesterday on condition of anonymity, fearing retribution from militia leaders.
Independent confirmation of the death toll was impossible. Militias have threatened to kill foreign journalists or observers who try to enter East Timor or the refugee camps.
Rebel leader Jose Alexandre "Xanana" Gusmao, widely expected to be the first president of an
independent East Timor, wept when he learned that his father had been killed by militias. The fate of his mother, sister and brother-in-law were uncertain.
"He is a very strong man," said Ana Gomes, Portugal's representative to Indonesia. "He says that he doesn't cry only for his family — he cries first and foremost for his people."
In the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, Foreign Minister Ali Alatas met with a high-level U.N. delegation but again rejected demands for U.N. peacekeepers. He did admit, though, that some units in the army were supporting the militias.
President B.J. Habibie was buffeted by reports that the military had encroached on his powers, sending the stock market and currency into a nose-dive.
At least 23 dead in Moscow apartment explosion
The Associated Press
MOSCOW
MOSCOW — Authorities searched for survivors and clues after a massive explosion tore apart a nine-story apartment building yesterday, killing at least 23 people and leaving dozens more feared dead.
Rescue workers said more than 150 people were hospitalized with serious injuries after being pulled from the wreckage. Up to 100 people could be buried under the mounds of smoking debris, they said.
Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov visited the blast site and said a terrorist act appeared to be the most likely cause of the explosion on the southeast fringes of the capital, near the Moscow River.
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin originally pointed to a gas leak as the cause of the blast.
As the day wore on, however, Luzhkov and some other officials said evidence pointed to a bomb.
The nature of the damage and the number of casualties suggested an explosive device was placed in the building, the Federal Security Service, the country's main intelligence agency, said in a statement.
Vladimir Stavitsky, the deputy press chief for the security service, said the blast had been centered in a store on the first floor. He said industrial explosives equivalent to 660-880 pounds of TNT or a great quantity of fireworks had caused the blast.

There was no way to determine the authenticity of the claim, and the Federal Security Service said it had not received any claims of responsibility.
Groceries the way it used to be,
The blast completely collapsed all nine stories in the center section of the block-long building, but it left apartments standing on either side. The building is part of a huge complex of apartment buildings.
Moscow has experienced natural gas explosions in the past because of the city's crumbling infrastructure, including a blast in July 1998 that killed six people.
Interfax news agency that the Moscow explosion and a Saturday night bomb blast in southern Russia were in response to Russia's military campaign against Islamic rebels in the southern territory of Dagestan.

Exhibit highlights Native-American work

Show displays pottery, jewelry
By Hilary Evans Special to the Kansan
Excitement is building for the opening of the 11th annual Lawrence Indian Arts Show, which will run from tomorrow to Oct. 24 at the Museum of Anthropology.
"I want the students to know that the museum is open," she said.
Despite the distracting construction to Spooner Hall, Maria Martin, coordinator of the show, will hang a large sign to attract students to the site.
For the exhibit, Martin has collected 152 Native-American works of art ranging from painting to weaving. This year 70 of the works are three-dimensional and 11 works were done by children ages 12 and under.
The works will be judged by Maragaret Archuleta, curator of fine arts at the Heard Museum in Phoenix, and Ruthe Blalock Jones, director of the art department at Bacone College in Muskogee, Okla. Martin found the judges by attending other art shows and becoming familiar with authorities on Native-American art.
There will be different prizes given to the winners of the juried competition. Two "Best-of-Show" awards will be given to one three-dimensional artist and one two-dimensional artist. They each will receive $1,500. "Merit Awards" will be given to 14 artists who each will receive $300. Those receiving honorable mention will be awarded a ribbon.
"The ribbons are ways of saying that they have done exceptional work," Martin said. "We want them to continue with their wonderful talent."
Each year Martin tries to get new artists.
"Artists themselves change style and their media," Martin said. "There is always something new and refreshing."
The Indian Arts Show is a nonprofit show. Admission is $3 for adults and $1 for students. The show is free for children 5 and under. The anthropology museum also will sell T-shirts designed by Chris Musgrave for $18. Musgrave is a Baldwin resident and member of the Osage tribe. They also will
"We have been really lucky with the community's donations," Martin said.
The Spencer Museum of Art also is contributing to the show with an exhibit of 50 works of traditional Native-American art from a local resident's private collection.
exhibit in conjunction with the Lawrence Indian Arts Show.
"Showing a private collection gives us an opportunity to show several media," said Andrea Norris, director of the art museum.
This is the art museum's eighth
The exhibit features pottery, jewelry, textiles, baskets, bedwork and wood carving from the past 2,000 years. The collection covers works from more than just the prolific Southwest. The works also are from the Northwest, Northeast and Plains tribes. This collection creates other advantages as well.
"Students will look at the choices the collector made and hopefully they will see how the collector came about those decisions and use the collector as a model." Norris said. "This collection shows a sense of beauty, vision and taste."

Haskell to welcome artists for annual weekend event
Haskell Indian Nations University will kick off its fall events with the works of more than 150 Native-American artists who will display, sell and demonstrate their art at the 11th Annual Indian Art Market this weekend.
Don Cardinal, co-chairman of the event, said the high quality of the two-day event—a joint effort by Haskell, the University of Kansas and the City of Lawrence — makes it one of the top-10 Indian art markets in the country.
"It's the best show in town this weekend," he said. "There's something for everybody, and the price is right."
The show, which is free, is expected to draw almost 30,000 people to Haskell this weekend. Parking also is free. About 80 Haskell staff, faculty and student volunteers will help at the event.
Artists from around the nation will offer traditional and non-traditional art such as beadwork, pottery, jewelry, sculpture, paintings, textiles, drawings and quillwork. Some also will demonstrate
their work to the crowd over the grassy area where the artists' booths will stand.
"It's probably one of the few opportunities people have to come out here during the year," said Cardinal, who has co-organized the market for the past five years.
The market also will feature student groups, such as the Thunderbird Theatre and the Kiowa Cultural Club, that will share their cultures through traditional dances and old Native-American tales.
Other student groups will prepare food for the event, including Indian tacos, which are made on a soft fry bread.
Adrian Leffingwell, Little Rock, Ark., freshman, wants to study fine arts. He said he planned to attend the event because he believed art and history often coincided.
"You sometimes see people trying to imitate Native Americans, but this is a firsthand experience," Leffingwell said. "It's a way to learn about their culture."
The market will be from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. tomorrow and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

Art, bands to color Lawrence crafts fair
By Emily Hughey writer@kanson.com Kanson staff writer
for years, South Park has offered art exhibits, bands and craft shows to Lawrence residents. On Sunday, the tradition will continue.
The 20th Annual Lawrence Fall Arts and Crafts Festival will take over South Park,1141 Massachusetts St., from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Sponsored by the City of Lawrence and Lawrence Parks and Recreation, the festival will include craft booths, art displays, live music and food vendors.
Duane Peterson, special events supervisor for the Parks and Recreation Department, said the festival would offer a wide variety of entertainment.
"We'll have everything from quilts to ceramics to wood carvings," he said. "You've got some pottery, jewelry, painti- nes and a variety of food."
Peterson said seven vendors would be selling food at the festival, including Cook's Barbecue, Good Stuff Fruit Drinks, Buffalo Express and Lawrence Indian Tacos and Fry Bread.
The festival has something to offer everyone, he said, but it was geared more toward families.
Whitney Evans, Lawrence junior, said although she would be unable to attend this year's festival, she had attended every year during her childhood to support local artists.
"I went to it when I was little," she said. "My mom was involved in the arts community in town. She always liked to buy stuff from the local artists to support them.
In addition to arts, crafts and food at the free event, area bands will perform throughout the day.

TRICK
By Brendan Walsh
Kansan movie critic
Four gay and lesbian movies opened at Kansas City's Manor Square Tivoli theater this month, and after a run at that art house, *Trick* opens in Lawrence this week.
It's about time that such a significant portion of the world gets an adequate representation on the big screen, but if you're only going to see one film about gay lifestyles this fall 'Trick' shouldn't be it.
Christian Campbell, brother to *Party of Five* the Neve Campbell, stars as Gabriel, a struggling showtime writer living in New York City. Gabriel looks for feedback from his buddies about a song he's working on about a first kiss. Perry (Steve Hayes), an older and wiser friend, tells Gabriel that the song misses the passion, energy and real excitement of a developing relationship. Gabriel blames his lack of life experience and seeks to rectify the situation by visiting gay bars to see what's shaking.
Film facts
Rating: R
Grade: C
Where: Plaza 6, 2339 S. Iowa St.
Running time: 1 hour 30 minutes.
What's shaking is John Paul Pitoc's butt: He plays Mark, a male stripper. Gabriel and Mark run into each other outside the bar and decide to go back to Gabriel's place together. Gabriel's roommate won't let that happen, though, so the rest of the night is spent searching for a place where the two can be
alone. During the frantic night of rushing around looking for a place to hook up, the two decide they might want more out of each other than a one-night stand.
It's like any other romantic comedy out there: Two star-crossed lovers who would be incompatible in real life but are clearly perfect for each other overcome obstacles to find true love. While Trick has a slightly more intriguing premise and gay leads, it's still a crappy romantic comedy. The principals, Gabriel and Mark, never do find a place to be alone, so the audience never gets to see any of the chemistry the two lovers have. We are to understand that these two men have more than a sexual bond between them, but from what the audience sees, the only thing they have in common is that they're gay.
Tori Spelling's performances in this movie and The House of Yes indicate she may be on her way to becoming somewhat of an indie movie queen. In Trick she plays Gabriel's friend Katherine, a quirky musical actress trying to make it big. While her acting is fine and she conveys her character well. Katherine is such an annoying person that every scene she's in is annoying as well.
That's not to say the movie doesn't have its moments. There's a good deal of humor, and Gabriel's encounter with the drag queen in the bathroom is well done. All in all, the movie as a whole is a flop. Instead, the wonderful Better Than Chocolate opened a week ago at Tivoli, and Steam, Relax . . . It's Just Sex, and Edge of Seventeen all have gotten good reviews from critics on the coast. See one of those movies, and chances are you won't feel tricked out of your money.

I ain't 'fraid of no ghost
and he meets one in chilling Stir of Echoes
By Stephanie Scipenza Kanson movie critic
The way I know a film deserves an "A" is that I have a hard time explaining why it was so good. *Stir of Echoes*, starring Kevin Bacon and Ileanna Douglas, is one of those elusive "A" films. Its elements were hard to pinpoint, which, in turn, means that the movie was so good that I forgot it had "elements." Here's the breakdown, more good than bad:
Kevin Bacon: Don't wince. He's come a long way since Tremors. Bacon stars as Tom, a hysterical man whose sister-in-law, Lisa (Douglas), has opened a door hypnotically in his mind, thus allowing him to become a "receiver." A ghost that inhabits his house contacts him and attempts to tell him something urgent. This drives most of the plot, as well as Bacon's descent into madness.
Zachary David Cope: This 5-year-old actor plays Jake. Tom's son in the
film. Jake is a natural "receiver" and really makes us believe he can see ghosts. The film opens with a very creepy sequence in which Jake is talking to the ghost, Samantha, while taking a bath. Looking right into the camera, he asks, "Can I ask you a question? Does it hurt to be dead?" I could hear goose bumps breaking out all over the audience.
Sound Design: This is the real hero of the film. No one really appreciates

the value of a good sound designer to a film, especially in a sci-fi movie. Screeching trains, rumbling noise, inconsent whispers and silence all are used at the right times and places
■ Costumes: The people in this movie are just way too stylish. I felt like I was watching a Gap Kids commercial at some moments. I say Gap Kids, because Maggie and Lisa's wardrobes apparently got switched at some point with 5-year-old Jake's. Their t-shirts were so tight they usually didn't cover their abs.
- Hypnosis Scene: I saved the best for last. The scene in which Tom is hypnotized is the best in the film. The audience retains only Tom's viewpoint, and the experience is just as eerie for us. A grisly murder scene unfolds inside Tom's mind, which is played out through split-second, fast-motion flash cuts, a la Lost Highway, throughout the rest of the movie.
Stir of Echoes is squirm-in-your-seat stuff. With the combination of big-budget writer/director David Koepp (Jurrasic Park, Mission: Impossible) and independent film-savior Artisan Entertainment (The Blair Witch Project), I didn't know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised.

Moby mixes styles mellows music sound
By Bryan Anderson Kansan music critic
Moby is not to be confused with the book about the whale. Moby is the premier American electronic music artist today. Richard Hall, a.k.a. Moby, is the master of his musical domain. That domain encompasses nearly every type of electronic music and other styles that are popular with the kids today.
Moby's catalogue is diverse and consistently good. 1991's Go, his 1991 album, was flat out techno. Everything Is Wrong, his critically acclaimed 1995 album, was a primer for ambient music with liner notes that provided essays on the failures of mainstream societies' ideology. 1996's Animal Rights saw Moby continuing the assault on theme, but with a completely different approach to the music. He ditched the samplers and keyboards and picked up a guitar and started playing rock music.
Moby's newest release, Play, covers all the territory of his previous releases while also moving in a new direction. Play contains all of the following: techno, ambient, house, trihop, disco, funk, rock and even a combination of gospel, blues and electronica.
Moby continues his work in the ambient on Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad? It is a song that would have seamlessly fit on Everything Is Wrong, as would the gospel tinged Natural blues.
Instead of going for a completely post-millennial sound. Moby goes old-school, sampling and laying beats over old gospel and delta blues on some tracks. The opening track Honey is a surprisingly well-crafted amalgam of gospel and electronica. It contains a gospel sample with piano, acoustic slide guitar and beats. In other hands, like Fatboy Slim, this is ambitious. Moby has the talent and the self-confidence to make it work.
The first half of the album has the feel of a dance party, while the second half sounds as if everyone has gone home to relax after a hard night of mixing it up on the dance floor.
On Body Rock, it sounds as if the Beastie Boys have sneaked in and recorded an instrumental. With a cool sample from Love Rap by Spoony G and the Treacherous 3, it has a hip-hop feel with a disco/funk hybrid breakdown. Everloving starts off sounding like an acoustic guitar ballad but ends up sounding more like the ambient French duo Air. The last track is the achingly beautiful My Weakness. It is a symphonic combination of voices, strings and minimal piano.
Play is a slower, more mellow album than what we are used to from Moby. It is a slight departure in style, but not an unwelcome one. Many albums have moments when the listener pauses and says, "This is cool." These moments are usually few and far between. On Play they are a regular occurrence.

Wish upon football genie for game day
I am a football genie. That's right, a football genie.

Don't worry about rubbing me the right way or wishing for more wishes. I am a bottomless pit of granting ability.
So what would you like for your first wish? The Kansas Jayhawks first home football game, huh. I can do that. How's tomorrow for you?
Anything else?
"We want instant replay at the games so we can see David Winbush make 80-yard runs and Zac Wegner made into linebacker sandwiches, again and again."
How about a $3.1 million dollar MegaVideo video board, so brand-spanking new the price tag still is hanging off the side?
"But will we be able to see it from everywhere in Memorial Stadium?"
Don't worry, it'll be the biggest of its kind in the nation.
"Genie, we've been to Jayhawk football games before. They move too slowly, and we always leave with a bad feeling in our gut."
23 29 40
What you need is a souped up Kansas offense that rolls up its sleeves and cuts loose. Your wish is my command (so I had a little help from Coach Allen on that one).
"We've seen the new offense get beat 48
13. How about an easier opponent?"
You have called and I have answered — the Cal State Northridge Matadors.
Granted, they donate a sophomore quarterback who threw for 25 touchdowns and 3,000 yards last year, but their defense ... the Jayhawks will march up and down the field like the Russian army. I'm talking offensive shootout
"But Genie, it's so hot in September. We sit in the stands and smolder in the burning sun."

James sports columnist sports@kkanan.com
No need to worry. I'll schedule the game for 6 p.m. Then you can experience MegaVision in the light and the dark, and most importantly, the cool evening air.
Still doubting my wish-granting powers, eb? Check this out.
Bob Frederick, athletics director, came to me a while back and said, "Genie, I want the largest scholarship suite in the new press box, with a 61-inch big-screen television and enough seating for the entire cast of 'The Love Boat.'"
I made it happen. Go see for yourself.
What's that? You want the Jayhawks to play on grass.
Does Kansas really have the 25th best athletics program in the nation?
The Sporting News said it does, but I have a few qualms with the ranking system used. First of all, the winning percentage and graduation rate categories that it used only factored in football and men's basketball. Sure they bring in the money, but what kind of evaluation of our athletics department considers only two of the 18 varsity sports?
Be patient I'm working on it.
And the only category of the four used in the ranking that factored in women's sports was the "Do we play fair?" category, which considered if a school had an equal number of sports for both sexes. What kind of message is this sending? "Women's sports don't count, but we'll give a bonus if you have them."
give a bonus The renovations at Memorial Stadium will no doubt help us in the fan support category by boosting football attendance, so I have to think the athletics department is trying to move Kansas up in the rankings.
Ask the women's rowing team to suit up in place of half the football team. Granted, we'll have some undersized players, but think how high our graduation rates would soar.
Here's a suggestion that might help the cause.
We wouldn't have a women's rowing team, but evidently it didn't count anyway.

Home turf, athletes key to victory
Kansas aiming to crush Cal State
By Mike Miller
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The last time Kansas played a Division I-AA football team, the Jayhawks dominated Illinois State. 63-21.
When the 'Hawks play Cal State Northridge tomorrow, Kansas will be looking for the same result — especially with a fully renovated stadium making its debut during the home opener.
"Hey, it's the home opener, we're all fired up about it," said defensive back Quincy Roe.
The Jayhawks should be. After playing Notre Dame two weeks ago, the 'Hawks have been getting somewhat restless. Coach Terry Allen said that practice had been good the first week after the game, but that this week had been another story.
"We need to play again." Allen said.
we need to play again. Allen said.
When the Jayhawks practiced Tuesday they had a full-contact scrimmage, but the same intensity wasn't there like it was during the game. But, Allen said, he thought his team just needed to get back out on the field.
More Football stories For an in-depth look at tomorrow's game See page 4B and 5B
The enthusiasm that goes with a home opener should also help Kansas. "There's
always a certain amount of excitement," he said. "That should be one of our allies."
The new megavision board also will generate excitement for the game, both for the fans and the team. Replay will be the main purpose for the board, but graphics, special effects and some Jayhawk football commercials also will be seen.
But wide receiver Harrison Hill said he hoped for mostly replays of touchdowns and other Jayhawk highlights.
"We've been looking forward to that for a long time," Hill said. "Ever since the summer, when we would practice on the field and look up at the board and picture ourselves scoring a touchdown."
Much like last season, when a Division IAA opponent provided the first victory of the season, tomorrow's game should feature numerous scoring opportunities. While the Matadors feature a wide-open offense with four- and five-receiver sets, the Jayhawks will use some of the same sets, just with more depth.
"We really don't see a lot of teams like them in our conference, so it should be good for them," Allen said. "In fact, they'll probably look a lot like us."
Unlike Kansas, the Matadors don't split time at the quarterback position. Northridge's quarterback, Marcus Brady, threw for nearly 3,000 yards and 26 touchdowns last year. The Jayhawks will start senior Zac Wegner, but junior Dylan Smith, who has recovered from a second-degree concussion suffered in the Notre Dame game, will still take some of the snaps.
Kansas' physical advantages is something that Allen would like to exploit during the game, which would wear down the Matadors.
Fullback Moran Norris agreed that it's the physical aspects that the Jayhawks needed to dominate in order to win. But he was more blunt about it.
"We've got better athletes," he said. "We're just going out to win against the team we play."

Wazienski and about 20 of his peers were passing their last few free hours of the summer working on their tricks at the new skate park at Centennial Park near Rockledge Road and Ninth Street.
The park is an about 12,300-square foot concrete plaza where in-line skaters and skateboarders can test their skills on a variety of inclines, ramps and stairs. It has become a popular gathering place for youth since it came into existence.
Fred DeVictor, director of the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department, said the city viewed the skate park as an investment in youth in the community.
Built in December 1998 at a cost of just under $120,000, the park is representative of Lawrence's dedication of accommodating youth whose interest in non-traditional sports were either underrepresented or lacked the proper facilities to let the youths practice.
DeVictor said that Lawrence has made an effort to add more alternative sports facilities.
"We have already transformed two tennis courts into roller-hockey courts in both Deerfield Park and Edgewood Park, not to mention the BMX trail that also is at Edgewood," he said.
A
While kids like Ben take advantage of Lawrence's new sports attractions such as the skate park, surprisingly, traditional sports aren't losing popularity.
Lee Ice, youth sports director for Lawrence Parks and Recreation, said that while there has been a drastic increase in popularity of roller hockey and skateboarding, enrollment in the three major park district-sponsored sports — baseball, basketball and football — hasn't fallen off.
Lawrence Parks and Recreation said about 2,700 youth participate in youth teams annually. Ice estimated that at least another 1,600 youth were play in Douglas County-sponsored programs.
With the numbers so strong, and no extreme changes in participation, some wonder why Lawrence is making such a concerted effort to put money and effort into non-traditional sports.
Ice said funds for alternative sports were important because he truly thought roller hockey would be the next big sport.
"It's like soccer 15 years ago, it too was thought of as unconventional, but now it is very popular with youth and park districts all over," he said.

Tigers eager for Jayhawk blood, Kansas soccer ready

Kansas sportwriter
It's time for war.
The Kansas women's soccer team travels to Missouri today in one of the most highly anticipated Big 12 Conference rematches of the season. After Kansas shut out the Tigers 1-0 last year, a revamped Missouri team is hungry for revenge. But Kansas will be ready.
"They're going to come out really hard," junior midfielder Katie Lents said. "We beat them last year, so I bet they're thinking, 'They can't beat us.' They're going to come out 100 percent, ready and raring to go."
First-year coach Mark Francis is eagerly anticipating his introduction to the classic rivalry.
"I'm looking forward to it," he said. "Obviously with the conference games there's a little more at stake, and especially being Missouri there's a rivalry there."
As border wars go, last year's was no different, and the Jayhawks are expecting more of the same today, Lents said. She described last year's game as a bloodbath. In the game, 31 fouls were called and a Missouri player received a yellow card.
Kansas players know they will be in for a battle for the full 90 minutes, as the Tigers are off to their best start in team history. They have a 3-1 record and are ranked 20th in the SoccerBuzz poll. In addition, they defeated 14th-ranked Michigan 4-1 last weekend for their first win against a top-20 team.
"They're coming off a good weekend." Francis said. "Offensively they're very
The scoring precision of the Tigers' tandem is a concern to the Jayhawks, but they are confident they will be able to ston them.
dangerous. They've got some good forwards that we're going to have to make sure we contain, but that's definitely the strength of their team."
The Missouri forwards are what have captured the Jayhawks' attention the most; specifically, junior Nikki Thole and senior Erin Grimsley. Thole is Missouri's all-time leading scorer and already has tallied 13 points this season. Grimsley is a close second with 11.
"Total team defense is what we've worked on, so they can't even get it to their forwards," senior defender Lindsey Loeffler said. "They said that their strongest position is their forwards. We can shut them down. We did it last year so there's no reason we can't do it again."
SOCCER SCHEDULE
Today at Audrey J. Walton Track-Soccer Field-Stadium in Columbia, Mo.
4 p.m. vs. Missouri
Francis praised the efforts of sophomore Melanie Schroeder and juniors Colleen Colvin and Johanna Larsson for stepping up on the offensive end of the field and will be looking for someone to step up again this week to carry the scoring load.
The Jayhawk seniors are also looking forward to their final battle with the Tigers.
"I want to go to the Big 12 tournament of course, but our biggest goal for the seniors is to beat Mizzou." Loeffler said.

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 a 4.
The person who seems the most confrontational may actually be your best friend. The person who's telling you to slow down and take a deep breath definitely is. You may have worked yourself up to warp speed over the past few days. Start to glide to a rest.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 9.
Today, you're drawing some attention — and with good reason. You're looking good, but that's not the only reason people want to be near you. They also want you to help them make decisions. One friend in particular is having an awful time.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 5.
This is a great day to gather up a few secrets. Call up your favorite relative and ask for the latest gossip. Remember, don't be nasty. Supportive gossip is good for the person you're talking about, so your ears won't even burn. And, neither will theirs.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is an 8.
If you want to fix something around your house,
this weekend should be a great time to do it. Of course,
the best way to begin is by making a list of what you'd like to accomplish. If you don't know what to do first, ask a Virgo or Taurus to help you decide. They love that.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
The best place for you to hang out tonight is right in your hometown. The best person to hang out with is a partner you've known for years. Do the stuff you used to like before and, sure enough, you're going to like it again.
Virga (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is an 8.
The key to your success is a foreigner or someone who lives far away. Perhaps, it's a foreign market.
Maybe, like a boomerang, sending your product far away could bring the money back home. If you don't have a product or service yet, start thinking about one
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Today is a 5.
If you've studied carefully, you could make a shrewd business move today. Buying and selling might not be your area of expertise, so rely on the advice of a person who thinks it's fun. This person should work on your side, obviously.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6.
Saaittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
Your partner's under pressure right now, and some of it is coming from you. That's all right. This is for his or her own good. Support the other person's talents, and you'll be well-supported in return.
P
Signatures (nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today it's a C.
Conditions are much better now than they were yesterday, although this morning is kind of difficult. The reason for that is partially because there's hope. It's Friday, and the weekend is coming, but it's not here yet. Don't fret. You've made it through the worst part.
Aaarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Todav is a 5.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 9.
Circumstances beyond your control push you toward love. How terrible can that be? There might be a big age difference, but that's OK. Love's wonderful to have, no matter how you find it, so open up your heart and let it in.
You may want to head out of town tonight, but don't rush. You may get company instead. No point in waiting around to find out who it's going to be. Call your friends and invite them over. The real fun is in making it happen.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6.
Circumstances seemingly beyond your control push you toward education. This could lead to abundance, eventually. For a while, it will just lead to more studying. The abundance will follow, especially if you get yourself into the right class. Don't leave everything to chance.

own remarkable power display, hitting his fifth homer in three games, helping give the Reds a 5-3 victory. The wind was blowing out to right and center at 17 mph, but Sosa's drive, which ended a three-game homerless stretch, didn't need any help.
With 16 homers in his last 26 games, Sosa is eight games ahead of his 66-homer pace of a year ago when Mark McGwire of the Cardinals established a major league record 70.

Indians claim 5th title despite several injuries
Hargrove said from his hotel room yesterday. "It was very subdued."
CLEVELAND — The Indians were 20,000 feet somewhere above the central time zone when they clinched their fifth straight AL Central title. However, Cleveland's players didn't find out they were officially champs until they walked off their plane in Chicago early yesterday morning.
Needless to say, there wasn't any champagne popped near the bagage carousel.
"We shook hands and that was about it." Indians manager Mike
Cleveland was expected to win its division again this year without much of a struggle. But the Indians could never have imagined the route they would take to get there.
The team has been ravaged by major injuries almost since opening day, and only in the past week have All-Stars Travis Fryman and Sandy Alomar returned. Even now, Hargrove only has been able to field his opening day lineup four times — not at all since April 22.
"Obviously, I expected to win our division, and I don't want to come off as arrogant," Hargrove said. "That was one of the goals that we set before the season and one that was very attainable. But I can't say I thought we would clinch the division as early as we did."
500th home run ball hit by McGwire to be sold
ST. LOUIS — Jim Shearer, the 28-year-old architect who caught McGwire's 500th home run ball, has decided to sell it during an Oct. 30 auction in Las Vegas that also will include Mickey Mantle's 500th home run ball.
"We talked to a lot of people," Shearer said yesterday. "We talked a lot to my wife's family and my family. The more we talked about it, we started ed to feel better about selling it."
McGwire's ball, along with Mantle's, is the highlight of the auction, arranged by Michael Barnes, president of One-of-a-Kind Actions in Festus, Mo. Last season, Barnes helped Phil Ozersky, a 26-year-old researcher at Washington University, sell McGwire's 70th home run ball. Canadian comic book tycoon Todd McFarlane paid $3,005,000 for it.
the Belmont Stakes, Kentucky Derby-Preakness winner Charismatic has arrived at his new home, leaving little doubt he'd still rather be parading to the post than waiting to begin his stud career.
"He's a tiger," Lane's End Farm owner Will Farish said this week as he stood next to Charismatic's stall in the farm's stallion barn. "His healing is 95 percent there, and he wants badly to get out.
"I don't think he's in any pain, I think he's anxious to get out and do something."
Though he looks fit and ready to run, Charismatic is powerless to do anything about the charge to capture the 3-year-old championship that Lemon Drop Kid has mounted with wins this summer in the Belmont and Travers.

EMPORIA — A Lyon County grand jury has indicted three men in connection with the beating death in April of Emporia State University foot

ball player Brian Wagner.
The grand jury charged Andrew Lloyd, 21, Rex Pendley, 23, and Kelly Maxfield, 22, with second-degree murder.
Wagner, a freshman and a member of the Homet football team, was found beaten shortly before 2 a.m. April 21 in a downtown Emporia parking lot. He died six days later at a hospital in Wichita. Lloyd and Pendall were arrested Wednesday and Maxfield turned himself into authorities yesterday. At an arraignment yesterday in Lyon County District Court, Maxfield and Pendail pleaded not guilty. Lloyd entered no plea, but District Judge Lee Fowler entered a not guilty plea for him.
Lyon County Attorney Joe Lee said. The men are accused of beating Wagner, 19, during a parking lot fight that escalated.

Tom Watson to tee off on senior circuit today
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS - Watching other senior golfers such as Lee Trevino and Hale Irwin struggle to keep up with younger players helped convince Tom Watson to change gears.
"It was time to pass the baton, but it is hard to let go." he said Wednesday.
鱼
this year, he made the cut in just seven of his 13
PGA Tour events, finishing no higher than 16th.
Watson's 1988 divorce from his wife of 25 years
also affected his game.
Watson, who turned 50 Saturday, will make his seniors debut in the Comfort Classic at the Brickyard. The 54-hole tournament begins today on
the grounds of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Watson remarried last week and thinks his focus and his game are getting back on track.
"I'm here because this is the first (seniors) tournament I'm eligible for," said Watson, who will play a minimal fall schedule before competing in earnest next year.
"My game is a little sporadic. My driver isn't going where I want it to go. But it isn't exactly out of control," he said. "If I can shoot between 12 and 16 under, I should have a chance to win."
Moving from the rigors of competing against younger players with longer courses doesn't guarantee success on the seniors tour, said Watson, who had been the leading active winner on the
PGA Tour with 34 professional victories.
GCA Tour with 4 professional Vice-President
Hugh Baiocchi won last year's Comfort Classic
with a tournament record 196, 20 under par. Watson shot 4-under 68 during Wednesday's pro-am.
"You've got to be right on here to shoot the type of scores Hugh Baiocchi shot here last year," Watson said. "The greens are holding much better than the greens on the regular tour. And these guys can flat play. I've been watching their scores."
Watson said he's looking forward to playing against many of his old friends now competing on the seniors tour. But he won't see them all just yet. The tour's top four money-winners — Irwin, Bruce Fleisher, Allen Doyle and Larry Nelson — are skipping this tournament.

Volleyball ready for tournament
Players anticipate stiff competition
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
There is quite a bit at stake for the Kansas volleyball team heading into this weekend's Hampton Inn Jayhawk Classic at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
Not only would a defeat be the first for the Jayhawks after a 4-0 start to their season, but it also would be the first ever at the Horeisi Center, the team's new $3.8 million facility.
KANSAS
VOLLEYBALL
The Jayhawks are 1-0 all-time at the Horeksi Center after a season-opening win Sept. 1 against the University of Missouri-Kansas City, and a home court loss is a scenario that the players don't like to think about.

"Anytime we play here and people come into our gym, there is definitely a lot of pride at stake," said Kansas senior outside hitter Mary Beth Albrecht. "But playing host with other teams here should be fun."
The tournament starts at 5 p.m. today when the team opens against Chicago State, a team that hasn't won a match since Michael Jordan was still playing basketball. The Cougars are 6-0 under third-year coach Stephen Houghton, which includes an 0-4 record this season.
Then at 7:30 p.m. the Jayhawks will challenge the Texas Christian
Horned Frogs, who are 1-5 after a home loss Wednesday night to Baylor. TCU is coached by Sandy Trount and led by freshman Stephanie Watson, who has belated 70 kills and 46 digs this season.
The Jayhawks' toughest competition of the tournament may come at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow when they face the Southeastern Conference powerhouse Auburn Tigers. Auburn is led by Lawrence High School graduate Jaunelle Hamilton, a two-time first team All-SEC performer. The former Kansas 6A high school player of the year has already racked up 74 kills this season.
Kansas coach Ray Bechard said he knew that the competition this weekend was going to be difficult.
"Auburn and TCU have played a little tougher schedule at this point than we have," Bechard said. "They are both potentially top-20 teams."
The Jayhawks' victories this season have come against Missouri-Kansas City, Maryland-Baltimore County, Oakland, Mich., and West Virginia. However, Bechard said he knew that the Jayhawks had a lot to work on.
"We still need to block more balls," he said. "I'm pretty pleased with our digging, but then we let teams go on three- and four-point runs on us. What we're trying to do is find our rhythm."
Other tournament notes
■ Kansas senior middle blocker Amanda Reves has been named to eight straight All-tournament teams.
The Jayhawks are 1-0 all-time against Chicago State, with the teams' only meeting coming on Sept. 11, 1992 at the Kansas Invitational. Kansas and TCU never have played

Williams goes west for more young recruits
Rv Matt Tait
Kansan sportswriter
This men's basketball off season, there is something missing from the usual activities at the University of Kansas.
It's not a lack of a preseason ranking, and it's not the lack of big-name recruits. It is, however, a low number of recruits — so low, in fact, that coach Roy Williams has cautioned fans not to expect too much.
"All those people who enjoy looking at recruiting more than the season are going to be disap
pointed," Williams said. "This is not a crucial recruiting year for us."
Most fans, however, enjoy the flashiness and action of the season more than the stress and uncertainty of recruiting. Fortunately for Kansas fans, one of the big names on the Jayhawks' limited list has that flash.
Travon Bryant, a 6-foot-8 standout from Long Beach, Calif., will welcome an in-home visit from Kansas this afternoon. Bryant is commonly ranked in the top 10 of power forwards by most recruiting experts.
"Everybody's calling right now," Bryant said. "UCLA, Duke, Arizona, Kansas, Kentucky, Syracuse, but I'm going to stay all four years if I go to college."
According to a report from Greg Shemitz of Big East Briefs, Bryant's only scheduled campus visit as of now is to Kansas the weekend of Oct. 15.
Bryant said ball handling was something he would need to work on to play at the next level, and said that he saw himself playing the small forward or power forward spots in college.
"I can wait," Bryant said. "The freshman year can be the learning year — get to know the system, get to know the coaches and players."
As for now, the entire basketball world will have to wait for Bryant to decide. If Williams continues his success in recruiting in California, which includes signing Adonis Jordan, Paul Pierce, Scot Pollard, Jerod Haase, Eric Chenowith and most recently Drew Gooden, a former Amatuer Athletic Union teammate of Bryant's, it may not be the length of the list that matters, but the quality of the players on it.

The two teams that have not played yet, Kansas State and Oklahoma, open tomorrow against teams nicknamed the Owls and the Sycamores, respectively.
While Temple and Indiana State are busy trying to pull off major upsets, eight other Big 12 teams will be playing as well.
Temple at Kansas State, 6:10 p.m. tomorrow
How intimidating.
K-State will unveil new quarterback Jonathan Beasley against the Temple Owls, and Wildcat coach Bill Snyder said the promotion of Beasley to first string hadn't changed Beasley's attitude.
"I think sometimes it's easier to be a little bit more into the leadership role when you're the guy taking snaps with the first team," Snyder said. "But in large, I haven't seen any changes with Jonathan."
Snyder will make a game-time decision on whether running back Frank Murphy, who suffered a broken foot during the summer, can play.
THAI
Temple heads to Manhattan hoping to have a better showing than Indiana State last season, the team the Wildcats played in their first game. In 1998, the Wildcats won their opener 66-0.
Indiana State at Oklahoma, 6:30 p.m.
tomorrow
Speaking of the Indiana State Sycamores, they travel to Norman, Okla., to play the Oklahoma Sooners.
Tomorrow's game will give Sooner fans an
opportunity to see new coach Bob Stoops and quarterback Josh Heupel in action for the first time.
Commentary
San Jose State at Colorado, 2:30 p.m. tomorrow
Colorado linebacker Ty Gregorak sees tomorrow's game as a chance to avenge last week's embarrassing loss.
For the unranked Buffaloes, tomorrow's match up with San Jose State gives Colorado a chance to climb back into the top 25 after last week's 41-14 loss to Colorado State.
"It’s a new week, a new team, and we’ve got to beat these guys," Gregorak said. "Their running back is a David Windbusch type runner. They played LSU tough last week, played five bowl teams last year, and they’re looking to come in here and kick our butts."
The game also will mark the unveiling of
The Spartans never have beaten the Buffaloes in two previous attempts.
Folsom Field's new grass surface.
Texas at Rutgers, 7 p.m. tomorrow,
ESPN2
Texas coach Mack Brown said he believed the game in New Jersey would give the Longhorns valuable exposure in the Northeast.
Texas takes its up-and-down 1-1 season to New Brunswick, N.J., to take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights on national television tomorrow.
"I truly believe that in order to run a truly national program, you must play well on both coasts," Brown said.
Rutgers returns 17 starters of last season's surprising 5-6 team and lost the only prior meeting between the two schools in 1997.

Matadors 'waiting for the storm to pass'
By Michael T. Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
For the Cal State Northridge athletics department, the millennium can't end soon enough.
"What has happened to us in the past year has had major effects on how the university is perceived," said Northridge assistant athletics director Ryan Finney. "We're just waiting for the storm to pass."
The troubles for Northridge began last November, when then-women's basketball coach Michael Abraham resigned from his post after being arrested on charges of conspiracy to distribute and possession with the intent to distribute crack cocaine.
The arrest made former Northridge president Blenda Wilson lead an internal inquiry into whether athletic department staff members had any prior knowledge of the drug allegations, and Wilson's inquiry showed that former Northridge athletics director Paul Bubb and senior associate athletics director Judy Brame both had prior knowledge of Abraham's drug violations. Days later, both Bubb and Brame resigned.
"I wish to express my sincere wishes that this university be allowed to develop its athletic program to its fullest potential, and that everyone work toward that common goal." Bubb said upon his departure.
Unfortunately, that potential turned into more problems for Northridge as last May, an anonymous letter was sent to the school's athletics department outlining 20 major and secondary violations of NCAA compliance rules in the school's football program.
As a response to the letter, the Matadors athletics department released a 131-page report detailing the department's findings. Among these violations are inappropriate financial activities with the Quarterback Club, forged travel expense forms by former Matador football coach Ron Ponciano, and severe recruiting violations.
The recruiting violations uncovered by the school consisted of Ponciano, with the assistance of two
Northridge boosters, giving improper gifts to recruits, such as housing, meals, an airline ticket, the use of Ponciano's automobile, the use of an additional automobile for a recruit's personal use, and cash for a potential recruit's tuition at a community college.
The uncovering of these violations led to the firing of Ponciano last July. Ponciano, the 1998 Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year, had just hauled in a recruiting class that current Matadors head man Jeff Kearin said would experience success like no other Matador football class.
The deficit led to a Los Angeles Times article that suggested the school was considering dropping football altogether. Finney, however, said the report wasn't true.
While Ponciano's recruiting class was opening eyes around the nation last spring, university administrators were projecting a 1999-2000 athletic budget that would be operating at an annual deficit of $136,000, according to Finney.
"There is no truth whatsoever to the reports we're considering dropping any sports," Finney said. "I think people in the media and the community are hoping we do, but it's not going to happen."
The projected deficit also led to heightened fund-raising efforts and an influx of "guaranteed money," such as the $200,000 the school will receive by playing Kansas tomorrow.
"We decided that either we need to fund raise more or spend less," Finney said.
Finney said he was hoping the fund raising would lead to construction of a new stadium and a new practice field for the football team. Currently, construction has cut 30 yards off of the current Matador practice field, leaving Northridge to practice on a non-regulation 70-yard field.
While the budget crisis appears to have passed, university administrators are still awaiting word from the NCAA about Ponciano's violations. Finney said the hearings would start in about six or seven months.

Cross country seniors to run final home lap
By Rebecca Barlow
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Tomorrow's meet will be a memorable one for the seniors of the Kansas cross country team. This will be the last time they will run at their home course at Rim Rock Farm. The meet, the Bob Timmons Invitational, will be the only home date for the Javhawks this season.
The seniors are excited about the home meet but not about it being the last time to compete at Rim Rock Farm. Seniors Andy Tate and Diane Heffernan are looking forward to tomorrow's meet.
"It will be exciting since it will be my last time racing there," Tate said. "This will definitely be more
special than the rest of them."
Hefferman also is excited about the race, but said she was sad that it would be her last race at Rim Rock.
Both Heffernan and Tate have a positive attitude about how the season is going.
"So far, things are going the way we hoped they would," Tate said. "I think we are doing all the stuff we need to do right now."
Tate said she believed that the attitudes of the athletes and their health had an effect on the success of the men's team.
This home meet will give all of the Kansas runners a chance to compete and will give Gary Schwartz, Kansas cross country coach, the chance to see where his

This will be the second year that the Bob Timmons Invitational will be held at Rim Rock Farm. Bob Timmons, former Kansas cross country and track and field coach, is the owner of Rim Rock Farm. He said the Rim Rock Farm course would be difficult.
"Most cross-country meets are held in parks or golf courses," Timmons said. "This is a farm, and we don't have that smooth type of grass."
Timmons also said the course was unique because it had a cov

ered bridge, six ponds, natural rock sculptures and seven sculptures of famous American runners.
Rim Rock Farm became the Jayhawks' home course after their course on West Campus was damaged. This will be the 26th year that the Jayhawks will run at Rim Rock Farm.
Both the men's and women's teams will be running. There are six teams in each race, including Big 12 Conference rival Oklahoma.
The other teams in the men's race are Emporia State, Missouri Southern, Pittsburg State and Truman State. The women also will be running against Arkansas, Emporia State, Missouri and Pittsburg State.
The men will begin at 10 a.m. and the women at 11 a.m.

Tait makes up with Chiefs
'Badgered' first-round pick signs with team after fight
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — First-round draft pick John Tait ended his holdout with the Kansas City Chiefs yesterday — just nine days after storming out of Arrowhead Stadium saying he had been cursed and badgered.
Tait, 24, signed a five-year contract. Terms were not announced
"I am glad that we were able to finally conclude this negotiation. The obvious is that it took far too long." Chiefs president and general manager Carl Peterson said in a statement as the team prepared for its season opener Sunday against the Chicago Bears.
Ethan Lock, the agent for the offensive tackle from Brigham Young, said the contract wasn't everything Tait wanted, but it was better than it was initially.
"John struggled with this," Lock said. "People can say we were bluffing. But, he was within inches of just waiting until next April and going back in the draft. He decided in the end this was the better thing for him to do."
Lock did not accompany Tait to Kansas City at the request of the Chiefs.
Tait, 6-6 and 311 pounds, was the first offensive
lineman taken in this year's draft. He probably will be placed on a two-week exemption list and not appear in the first two games against Chicago and Denver.
Lock accused the Chiefs' general manager of using profanity and trying to intimidate the deeply religious, 24-year-old Mormon during negotiations last week. The talks broke down Aug. 31 primarily over the Chiefs' insistence on a clause that would allow them to get back his entire signing bonus of around $4 million if he did not play out the entire length of the contract for any reason.
Tait, saying he was tired of the mistreat
Tait, saying he was tired of the mistreatment, stormed out of Peterson's office and left Kansas City. Peterson later called Alan Tait, the player's father, and apologized for using profanity. Another rift developed when Chiefs head coach Gunther Cunningham was quoted as saying that Tait, because of his inactivity, would be like a jellyfish and that defensive players were drooling to take a smack at him.
Alan Tait said at his home in Tempe Wednesday night that his son was glad to finally have the negotiations over.
"Kansas City is a good town full of good people," he said. "It's city to put all this uglish behind us and get on with mending fences and playing football. It's a great relief to John and to us. We're just glad it's over and he can get back to doing what he does best — playing football."

CHIEFS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs cornerback James Hasty, a former Pro Bowl player, was back in camp yesterday, attending Chiefs' meetings after missing practice a day earlier.
are of him. he is back today, said Bob Moore, public relations director, yesterday
He had a personal issue to take
Moore said he could not elaborate on the personal issue, but said Hasty was attending meetings in the morning and was expected to practice with the
team later.
Hasty practiced Monday, and the team took Tuesday off.
Earlier, it was reported that neither Chiefs coach Gunther Cunningham nor Ken Kremer, one of Hasty's agents, knew when Hasty would return to the team.
said.
Hasty has missed only two games in 11 seasons and only one since joining the Chiefs in 1995. He is in the second year of a four-year contract that pays a base salary of $1.5 million for 1999, plus another $200,000 in roster bonuses.
"I was caught off-guard by this just like everyone else," Kremer
"This is about trying to win this thing," he said. "That's what it's all about. It's a travesty that we have one championship in this city. One."
Hasty spoke about commitment and quitting last week at the Chiefs' preseason team banquet.
"We've got to go play football. And pretenders have to leave the room."
pretenders have to leave the room." On Wednesday, Kansas City worked out rookie defensive back Andre Dixon, who was signed by Green Bay as an undrafted free agent but released in the final roster cutdown. The Chiefs also began talks with veteran Merton Hanks, the NFC's starter at free safety in four of the past five Pro Bowls.
Hanks spent his first three NFL seasons as a cornerback.
Receiver stuck with Seahawks
The Associated Press
KIRKLAND, Wash. — If Joey Galloway wants to play this season, it will be for the Seattle Seahawks or not at all.
As the Seahawks got ready for their season opener against Detroit, on Sunday in the Kingdome, their star receiver remained at his home in Columbus, Ohio, presumably waiting for the team to blink in the contract stalemate.
"I would hope he'd walk in the door and say, 'OK, I'm ready to play,'" said Mike Holmgren, coach-general manager Wednesday.
FASTBREAK
Holmgron sound ed as if he was willing to let Galloway sit out the season.
"We're not going o trade him." he
said, "I want him here. I want him to be a part of this and he knows that."
Galloway, Seattle's leading receiver in each of the last three seasons, missed all of the Seahawks' training camp and their four exhibition games. The Seahawks placed him on their "reserve did not report" list this week
Galloway has one year left on a fiveyear contract and would be paid $1.6 million this season. He signed the contract after Seattle made him the eight overall pick in the 1995 NFL draft.
Even if Galloway stayed home this season, he would remain the property of the Seahawks.
Galloway has turned down a seven-year contract offer for $25 million, including a $7 million signing bonus. He is seeking a five-year deal worth about $25 million with a $10 million signing bonus.
Negotiations broke off two weeks ago. Other teams are seeking to acquire Galloway in a trade. Holmgren said.
"I've been approached in casual conversations by about 15 teams," he said. "I've told them all the same thing: 'I am not trading him. He's here. I want him here.'"

'Catfish' Hunter dies at age 53
The Associated Press
Jim "Catfish" Hunter, the Hall of Fame pitcher who ushered in baseball's era of big bucks for free agents, died yesterday at age 53 after battling the disease named after another New York Yankees great, Leo Gehrig.
Hunter died at his home in Hertford, N.C., said George Byrum of Swindell Funeral Home in Hertford.
Hunter was one of baseball's most dominant pitchers during a 15-year career that gave him five World Series rings with the Oakland Athletics and the Yankees. He strung together five straight 20-victory seasons, pitched a perfect game and won a Cv Young Award.
He became the first multimillionaire player when he was declared a free-agent on a technicality after the 1974 season, then became the Yankees' workhorse the following two years, completing 51 of 75 starts and leading them to their first pennant in 12 seasons.
"I was probably the first player who broke it open for other play.
ers to be paid what they're worth," he said in 1887, a few hours after he was selected to the Hall of Fame.
Yankees owner George Steinbrenner never doubted Hunter was worth every penny he got, calling him the cornerstone of the team's 1970s championships. More than a crafty pitcher with a range of speeds and exquisite control, Hunter gave the fractious Athletics and Yankees leadership.
He was a player's player, fiercely competitive on the field, a prankster who loved to have fun with teammates after the game. He grew a mustache and wore his hair long like them in the fashion of the late '60s and early '70s, but he retained his farmboy values and spun stories with a country draw.
"When you think of Catfish Hunter, you think of everything you want in a great major league pitcher," commissioner Bud Selig said yesterday.
In September 1998, Hunter learned he had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a neurological disease that attacks nerves in the spinal cord and brain that control muscle movement, causing progressive paralysis and leading to death. There is no cure for the condition, commonly known as Lou Gebrut's disease.
Hunter also had diabetes and required insulin injections three times a day since 1978.
His health suffered another blow Aug. 8, when he fell and hit his head on concrete steps at his home. He was unconscious for several days but improved and was sent home to his farm on Saturday in fair condition, said the Rev. Keith Vaughan, a family spokesman.
Hunter, a dedicated outdoorsman, first noticed the neurological condition in the winter of 1997-98 when he was out hunting near his farm.
At first, he thought it might be a tick bite, but after repeated visits to doctors in Norfolk, Va., and the Duke and Johns Hopkins medical centers, Hunter received the diagnosis.
Hunter made a brief visit to the Yankees' training base in Tampa, Fla., last spring. He was barely able to shake hands with old teammates.
"I'm doing all right," he said at
the time. "It's just my hands and arms, don't work right."
He said he thought of his three children, Todd, then 28, Kim, 25, and Paul. 18. He also thought of a 3-year-old grandson, Taylor.
"I'd like to see them grow up," he said.
Old friends were shocked when they saw him. His arms hung limp at his side. His hands seemed soft and puffy, a far cry from the powerful hands of the pitcher and farmer he had been.
The Kansas City Athletics found Hunter in Hertford, N.C., and owner Charles O. Finley, intent on promoting his players to the hilt, pinned the nickname "Catfish" on him. To friends and family, however, he always remained Jim.
Hunter came up with the A's in 1965 and punctuated the team's move to Oakland in 1968 with a perfect game against the Minnesota Twins. At the time, it was just the seventh perfect game in modern baseball history.
A funeral is scheduled for 3 p.m. Sunday at Cedar Wood Cemetery in Hertford, behind the ballfield where Hunter played high school baseball.
Umpires bad-mouthed in anonymous letter
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The umpires are at it again.
NEW YORK — The umpires are at it again. Members of the group trying to oust union leader Richie Phillips have received an anonymous letter, accusing each of them of being "a cowardly, selfish scab."
"How could you jump out of the foxhole in the midst of battle and desert your friends for your own selfishness?" said the letter, obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press.
The handwritten letter, postmarked in Santa Ana, Calif., on Aug. 31, was received by about 25 umpires who oppose the union leadership, one member of the anti-Phillips faction said, speaking on the condition he not be identified.
Phillips engineered the failed strategy of mass resignations, which cost 22 umpires their jobs Sept. 2. Phillips' supporters in the union say the resignation strategy would have been successful had they all stuck with the plan.
"Remember, you abandoned the ship! You sunk the ship!" said the letter, which contained misspellings and had several words
underlined for emphasis. "Now you have to look at yourself in the mirror every day forever and see the reflection of a cowardly, self-scab! You can change. You can return your allegiance to where it belongs!"
AL president Gene Budig,
a former University of
Kansas chancellor, and NL
president Len Coleman on
July 29 warned umpires
against making threats or
attempting to intimidate
their colleagues.
.
"It's a pretty gutless person that would write something and send out letters and not put their signature to it," said John Hirschbeck, one of the three AL umpires leading the anti-Phillips faction. "I've never not signed a letter in my life. I would assume it's from a current umpire or one of the 22." he said.
Phillips announced July 14 that more than 50 umpires were resigning en masse, effective Sept. 2, with umpires saying they wanted to prod baseball into an early start of negotiations for a labor contract to replace the one
that expires Dec. 31.
The strategy backfired when more than two dozen umpires — nearly all in the American League — either refused to resign or quickly will refuse their resignations.
didn't reassign their resign-
Baseball then hired 25 umpires from the minor leagues and accepted the resignations of 22 veterans. Umpires sued to stop baseball from letting the 22 go, and in a deal worked out last week in federal court, the matter will go to arbitration.
The anti-Phillips faction also is led by Joe Brinkman and Davey Phillips. Working with agent Ron Shapiro, who has been advising them, the group drafted a response to the anonymous letter and was in the process Wednesday of sending it out to all umpires.
"We will not have trouble looking at ourselves in the mirror," the group said. "As for the cowlly comment, we have and will continue to stand tall when it comes to our decisions."

Pioline, Martin advance in Open
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Todd Martin and Cedric Pioline, two of the best players this decade never to win a Grand Slam title, took a step toward changing that yesterday when they set up a clash in the U.S. Open semifinals.
Martin served 22 aces at up to 127 mph in a 6.3-5.7, 6-4, 6-4 victory against inspired Slava Dosedel of the Czech Republic, a 29-year-old journeyman ranked No. 95 who played superbly in defeat.
The trip to the semis will be the first in a major tournament for the 29-year-old Martin since Wimbledon in 1996, when he blew a 5-1 lead in the fifth set and lost it 10-8 to MaliVai Washington.
Martin also reached the semis at Wimbledon in 1994, the same year he was runnerup in the Australian Open and a semifinalist in the U.S. Open
Piline, twice a Grand Slam finalist but never a champion, continued his reign as king of the tiebreaker with a 4-6, 7-6 (8-6), 7-6 (16-14), 7-6 (10-8) victory against 1997 French Open champion Gustavo Kuerten.
The 30-year-old Pioline reached the finals of the U.S. Open in 1993 and Wimbledon in 1997, only to lose both times to Pete Sampras.
"He played probably the best tennis I've ever seen
from him today," Martin said of Pioline. "That was a great match. Hopefully we'll have a good old men's battle.
"He's probably the prettiest player to watch on the tour, and I'm at the other end of the spectrum. He has athleticism, big loopy strokes, and he's French. I'm athletic in my own special way, but nowhere near to the extent that he is."
The other semifinal tomorrow will pit second-seeded Andre Agassi, 29, against No. 3 Yevgeny Kafelnikov, the youngest of the remaining men at 25.
"It shows me that Kafelnikov is a little out of place," Martin quipped. "Listen, if the older body is fit and healthy, I think it makes sense that there can be success at this age, because I think experience and knowledge and maybe a little bit more perspective than some of the other guys might actually help."
Martin had trouble moving quickly against Dosedel two nights after winning an exhausting fiveetter against No. 9 Greg Ruselski.
Piline broke Kuerten's serve once in their match, which lasted nearly 31/2 hours, but was able to force three tiebreakers, a shootout in which Piline has been perfect this tournament.
The tiebreakers highlighted what was one of the better matches in the final Grand Slam event of the year.
NEW YORK — So far, so good.
The Associated Press
Richard Williams, tennis father and coach, surveyed the U.S. Open draw before the tournament began and decided it wasn't that complicated. Forget the rest of the women's field, he said. His daughters, Venus and Serena, would make the final a Williams family affair.
Dad predicts Williams sisters' success
The next step today will be the toughest of all. In semifinal matches, Venus Williams faces top-seeded Martina Hingis and sister Serena meets defending champion Lindsay Davenport.
Davenport and Serena Williams completed the semifinal pairings with three-set victories Wednesday. Davenport survived two match points and held off Mary Pierce 6-2, 3-6, 7-5. Then Williams defeated former champ Monica
That was 124 players ago.
That was 124 players at the game.
The women's draw at the Open is down to the final four, and the Williams sisters are still at it, one match away from making poppa's prophecy come true.
A day earlier, Hingis beat Anke Huber 6-2, 6-0 and Venus Williams downed Barbara Schett 6-4, 6-3.
Seles 4-6, 6-3, 6-2.
So what about pop's prediction?
"I still have one more match," Serena Williams said. "My dad has been right about a lot of things. If I can do well in this match, I know it will be great."
Davenport and Hingis are entirely capable of upsetting the Williams plans. Both have won the U.S. Open and came into this tournament ranked No.1 and No.2 in the world.
Davenport has won 12 straight matches during the past two years at the Open and Hingis has reached the semifinals at the Open for the fourth straight year.
Hingis has a 7-3 record against Venus Williams, including victories in three of their last four meetings.
Serena has beaten Davenport in two of their three meetings, both times on the same kind of hardcourt they've been hitting on at the Open.
That doesn't disturb Davenport, who will always have a warm spot in her heart for the National
Tennis Center because she earned her first Grand Slam title there.
"I love the court here," she said.
"It's fast. It's good for my game.
"I've had a good time trying to defend this title, whether it ends Friday, ends Saturday, whatever."
Davenport was asked if she might have preferred Seles in the semifinals.
"Serena is probably a little more athletic and plays a little better defense." she said.
Serena has taken a tough path to the semis, dropping the first set in each of her last three matches but recovering each time to advance. Venus, too, hit a speed bump when she dropped the first set of her match against Mary Joe Fernandez before rallying.
If they win today, the Williams sisters would play each other for the fourth time. Venus has won the first three and Serena thinks she knows why.
"Venus is a more powerful player than I am," she said. "I use more of the court than Venus, although she's doing that a lot better now."

Women's soccer fame boosts KU club team
Players compete have good time
By Jason Walker sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
After the U.S. women's soccer team won the World Cup this summer, the sport of women's soccer was thrust into the lime-light for the first time. Little girls all across the country began booting soccer balls around in their backyards, and participation in youth leagues is bigger than ever.
For women's soccer fans at Kansas, they have two choices of teams to watch play: the varsity team and the club team. While the varsity team gets most of the attention, the club team has been successful the last few years.
"Last year we went 8-1-1 in our area," said Lauren Heyward, Leawood senior and midfielder. "We were invited to the national tournament at Georgia Southern."
The Kansas club team doesn't belong to a set league but plays teams from schools around the area such as Kansas State, Missouri, Nebraska, Wichita State and Drake. They also don't have a coach, so the players have to set up dates and sites for their games. While this leads to a more laid-back atmosphere, these women still come ready to play.
"It's relaxed but still very competitive," said Heyward. "We sure want to win, and we have won a lot around this area."
Carlisle Bell, Wichita senior and midfielder, said the team was looking forward to this season.
Sport of the week
"We want to have fun," she said. "But at the same time continue to get better and be a challenging team to play."
Last year, the women played in a tournament at Clemson and found out there was some pretty stiff competition out there.
"It was an invite-only tournament," said Katherine Stroupe, Olathe senior and midfielder. "And the competition was really tough."
Bell said the teams they faced from the East Coast tend to be better because of the intensity level with which they approach the game.
"They are so dedicated," she said. "Some of those teams practice every day. Plus, some of the schools we played don't have a varsity team, so the top players from that school have to play on the club team."
The Kansas club team is expecting about 40 women to try out this year, and Heyward said the experience level of the team members usually varies.
"We get some girls that have varsity experience," she said. "And some who have played for a long time. Usually they played varsity before and wanted a more relaxed atmosphere, or played in high school and just didn't want to give it up."
Stroupe said that she couldn't imagine not being able to play soccer anymore.
"I've been playing since second grade," she said. "When it's a part of your life for so long, you just can't quit."
Heyward said she had been
playing since she was in kindergarten, or the better part of 18 years.
"I don't know if I could just quit cold turkey," she said.
While the Kansas women's team has had its share of success, that success does come with a price tag. Recreation Services gives the team a certain amount of money, but the rest of their money for travel expenses and equipment has to come from fund raisers.
Stroupe said the team was hoping to have a fund raiser that would help women's soccer grow in the Lawrence area.
"We are thinking about holding a camp for young girls this fall," she said. "We'd probably have one for (grades) K-3 and then 4-7."
Bell said that she wanted to teach young girls that soccer is a lot of fun.
"I want them more than anything to have a good time," she said. "And that it can be really worthwhile to put time and effort into getting better."
The team also is planning to go see the U.S. women's team play Finland at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on Oct. 7. Stroupe said that the success and popularity of the U.S. team has done so much for the women's game.
"it's phenomenal," she said. "They've been so good for all these years but now are finally getting noticed."
Bell said watching the U.S. Women's World Cup team was one of the highlights of her summer.
"It it was the most amazing thing that could have happened for women's sports," she said. "I definitely want to see them play and hopefully get to meet them."
Extreme sports growing quickly

Both DeVictor and ice made it clear that their desire was to provide Lawrence with facilities that would suit not only today's minority, but have the capacity also to be used by a new majority of skateboarders and in-line skaters in the future.
Ice said that this trend of improving and expanding on facilities wasn't about to slow down.
"One thing that we would like to see accomplished is the building of an indoor roller hockey facility." he said.
Other projects being considered included a competitive aspect to the existing facilities.
"That would be one advantage of the roller hockey facility, we could use an alternative sport that is becoming popular, and add to it teamwork and maybe park district-sponsored teams." Ice said.
It is the lack of competitiveness that keeps some athletes from becoming too involved and keeps them content with playing an alternative sport as a hobby.
Sean Mongey, St. Louis sophomore, lettered in three sports throughout high school. Mongey said that he would never give up a team sport in exchange for skating.
"I enjoyed the competitive aspects and the teamwork," he said. "Roller blading
and biking don't offer that, they're more of a hobby."
Wazienski used to play soccer and skateboard, but he quit soccer because he liked the individual aspect of skating.
"It's all my fault if I mess up, but if I do good, it's more rewarding," he said.

Whatever the individual's motive is, alternative sports have become more popular, as evidenced by such events as the X-Games and Lawrence's construction of new sports facilities
Lawrence Parks and Recreation hired an outside firm to conduct a comprehensive study of the city's sports facilities within the next month or two. The findings of the firm would be made available to the public during town meetings.
"We urge the people to come out and speak for what they want." Ice said. "If we only are going to get conventional people to come out and voice their opinion then we will only get conventional results — like more ball-fields."

Computer crash slows Watkins
Students must rely on walk-in visits
By Amber Stuever writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
For the next few days, students who want to avoid the wait at Watkins Memorial Health Center will not have the luxury of making a prior appointment.
(USPS 650-640)
Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins, said computer problems that began Thursday would continue this week, causing inconvenience for the staff and problems in appointment scheduling for students.
Chylton Miller, computer operations manager at Watkins, said the system failed because of an operating problem.
Unless a students made an appointment prior to this weekend, they will have to rely on a walk-in visit.
"We ask for understanding and patience until we get through it, but the services at Watkins will continue, and those people with appointments will be handled," Rock said.
The amount of staff at Watkins has not changed, and the same resources are there. The inconvenience to students will come from a surplus of walk-ins, which may mean a longer wait.
"Come prepared, or don't come at a time that you'll have to leave for class in 30 minutes, because we can't guarantee a fast in
and out." Rock said.
He recommended students still call the appointment line at 864-9507 to find the best and slowest times to come and that they bring something to do during the wait. He also suggested students bring their insurance information in case it had been lost on the system.
On Thursday morning, the disk controller and disk drive for the billing records malfunctioned, Miller said. The shutdown slowed the billing process in the pharmacy, but was fixed by late Friday by moving the software to another computer. Miller said he would begin to move the rest of the software for Watkins to a new computer today.
Rock said, "The good news is that some delays people may have had in the pharmacy late last week are pretty much back to
normal."
However, appointment scheduling problems will continue until an alternate service is found. That may take until the end of this week, Rock said, but Watkins will keep students posted.
The computer problem occurred while Watkins officials were in the middle of evaluating new hardware and software options for Watkins. They hope to upgrade the system in the next year, replacing the 12-year-old system now in place.
"It's kind of ironic that this happened at this time, but it's probably a learning experience at the same time," Rock said.

From rags to riches or vice versa
Gambling addictions can be serious for anyone, win or lose
100%

When Todd Haviland beat the odds to win a $7.4 million jackpot at a Native-American casino in Wisconsin, his friends and neighbors sighed, "not again."
Haviland, an avid gambler, pulled the lever on a $1 machine just three months after he and his wife, Carol, filed for bankruptcy. The couple was living in a mobile home in Junction City, Wis., where they were barely scraping by. Carol said Todd's regular visits to Rainbow Casino, about 15 minutes away, were wearing on her.
She was ready to walk out on Todd.
In only six years, Todd, 37, had squandered $2.3 million worth of assets he had inherited from his father. Then, in December 1998, he became a multimillionaire—again.
Having gone from poor to rich then poor and rich again, Todd vowed not to blow his fortune this time. But for a gambling addict who was used to visiting the casinos nearly every day, was quitting cold turkey possible?
The Havilands swore their gambling days were done; and Todd said he had learned his lesson. But the residents of Junction City and Steven's Point, Wis., a neighboring town, questioned Haviland's anti-gambling vow. One bar owner said, "He'll be back."
Like Todd, who began gambling while in his 20s, college students can easily fall into the trap where hitting the boats or hosting weekly poker games becomes a habit. Stories of high-stakes and million-dollar jackpots such as the Haviland's are rare.
East Timor needs aid, students, professor acknowledge
By Lesley Simmons writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A KU professor said he thought it was good news that United Nations peacekeeping troops may soon be deployed to help quell violence in East Timor.
"The Indonesian government clearly didn't have control of the situation," said Philip Schrodt, professor of political science. "If there's ever been a case where international intervention is needed, this is one."
Schrodt said Indonesia's interest in East Timor was purely territorial and that Indonesia had no economic interests there. He said human rights violations had been a problem in East Timor since 1975, when Indonesia invaded the territory after Portuguese colonists left.
Indonesia, succumbing to years of international pressure, allowed the East Timorese to vote for independence through a U.N. sponsored referendum on Aug. 30. Since the vote in favor of independence, militias opposed to East Timor's independence have terrorized the territory.
Schrodt said no one outside the region knew who the militia members were.
"They could be affiliated with the government, they could be affiliated with the land owners, or both, or they could be thugs," he said.
Schrodt said he didn't think the violence was unplanned.
"Somebody is organizing this," he said. "It's far too extensive to be random."
Schrodt received an e-mail Saturday from a former student at northwestern University, D. Jay Losher. Losher, a Presbyterian minister, taught in Indonesia for about ten years and worked as an international observer last month making

Refitted stadium draws praise at game

The entire Kansas athletics department breathed a sigh of relief Saturday night.
For the past four months the construction on Memorial Stadium had been behind schedule, while the date for the season-opening football game crept closer and closer.
er and closer.
The last three weeks had been frantic. Rumors circulated that the stadium wouldn't be ready for Saturday's game against California State-Northridge, and the deadline for the completion date was moved twice.
Saturday started out gloomily enough. Rain came in the morning hours, and it was overcast for much of the day.
cleared.
The additions to the stadium — a new press box, 36 scholarship suites and a MegaVision videoboard — were greeted by several thousand tailgaters and, much to the delight of the athletic department, were greeted with awe.
Then, almost as if on cue, the sky cleared.
"It feels kind of like we're pro-tteam," said Mandy Wilcox, Olathe junior. "I thought it said a lot about university and individual support."
Some commented on the press box, its size and whether or not the press needed an area that nice. Some wondered if they would ever be able to see the scholarship suites.
The MegaVision, $3 million of the $12 million renovations to the stadium this year, gave fans a chance to see replays of the football game — something that was clearly missed in past years.
But the biggest hit was the Mega Vision. "I made sure I came for the first game because I wanted to see the scoreboard," said Stephen Hilton, San Jose, Costa Rica, senior.
"The video board added a lot because you could see the replay." Wilcox said.
But the biggest hit was the MegaVision.
The new board played such a large role in the game that even the football team found themselves looking up at the board for replays and to see themselves on the big screen.
"I looked up there every now and then," said running back David Winbush. "I had to catch some of the nice plays
twice."
Quarterback Zac Wegner liked the board so much that he started making his Christmas list early.
"I wish I had it in my backyard," he said. "It's really nice, isn't it?"
The MegaVision did have a few initial operating glitches. The controllers for the MegaVision jumped the gun twice on the touchdown graphic, but otherwise replays were crisp and came quickly. Dean Buchan, sports information director, said press box problems were nonexistent, even the little details.
"I don't know about the rest of the stadium, but we had no problems," Buchan said.
Now, the university has two weeks to put the finishing touches on the stadium before the next home game on Sept. 25 against San Diego State. Assistant athletics director Doug Vance said there were lots of touch-ups to be done, but that finishing the minor modifications wouldn't be a problem.
CALIFORNIA
The new additions still weren't enough for some fans, though. The attendance was 33,300 people, 700 more than last year's season opener, but still almost

17,000 seats shy of capacity. What would make more fans come? Free tickets.
Sarah Vincent, Dodge City senior, watched her first live Kansas football game Saturday because her friends
thought she should finally see a game. "I name because I got a free pass," she said.

Colorado grand jury still out on Ramsey murder
Boulder, Colo.—Nearly a year after a grand jury began looking into the murder of JonBenet Ramsey, there's no indication it's any closer to resolution, frustrating both residents and city leaders.
"They're at the point where they either have to say they have something or they don't," said Brian Greenman, a shopkeeper who lives near the Boulder County Justice Center.
The 12-member jury, which began its work on Sept. 15, 1998, has heard testimony from police officers, friends and relatives of the Ramsey
family and technicians who examined thousands of pieces of forensic evidence.
But the panel, whose term expires next month, has not met since May 25.
In finishing its term, the grand jury may issue indictments, draft a report or simply

NASSAU, Bahamas—Storm-wear residents in the Bahamas braced for a brush with Hurricane Floyd as it swelted and powered up to a major storm packing 120 mph winds yesterday.
Forecasters said the hurricane would approach the central Bahamas, the same area blasted by Hurricane Dennis in August.
Meteorologists said the storm was unlikely to hit land before tomorrow and posed no immediate threat to the mainland United States. Still, they recommended people along the southeast coast to monitor the storm's course.
Officials posted a hurricane watch for the central Bahamas and tropical storm warnings for the southeastern Bahamas and Britain's Turks and Caicos islands.
The storm swelled in size overnight. Hurricane-force winds had broadened to 115 miles from Floyd's center by midmorning yesterday.
WORLD
Tropical storm force winds extended another 85 miles.

At 2 p.m. EDT, Floyd was about 265 miles east-northeast of Grand Turk island — just east of the Bahamas chain — and headed west at near 12 mph.
Negotiators seek to end North Korean missile tests
BERLIN—U.S. and North Korean negotiators extended talks on the communist nation's missile program Saturday, scheduling an unplanned sixth day of discussions.
"I'm satisfied, we have made some progress," North Korea's Vice Foreign Minister, Kim Gye Gwan, said after the latest session at the U.S. Embassy in Berlin. He gave no details.
Both sides agreed to continue the talks yesterday, he said. There was no comment from U.S. delegates.
The Clinton administration hopes to persuade North Korea to freeze its missile programs, seen as a threat to East Asia's military balance, by offering food aid and an easing of economic sanctions.
Amid fears the North plans a new missile test, President Clinton met with the leaders of Japan and South Korea yesterday in Auckland, New Zealand, where they were gathered for an Asian-Pacific summit.
Western military analysts believe North Korea plans to test an advanced model of a long-range missile it fired over Japan a year ago. The new missile is believed to be able to reach Alaska or Hawaii.
The United States, Japan and South Korea have warned that another launch could bring economic penalties against North Korea.

United Way kicks off fund-raising campaign
By Lari O'Toole writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Mandy Pitler spent about two hours yesterday afternoon cleaning at the Overland House, a group home located at 3912 Overland.
Pitcher, Wichita junior, was one of about 450 students who performed community service projects as part of United Way's Day of Caring, the official beginning of the year 2000 financial campaign that will last until November.
GROUPS THAT PARTICIPATED IN DAY OF CARING
Oliver Hall
The students, along with about 150 other community members, volunteered at different United Way agencies, including the Ballard Community Center, Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Douglas County and the Salvation Army.
"I think it involves the whole community, and it helps the community have ownership of the agencies," said Marceil Laupe, executive director of Douglas County Visiting Nurses

Jeff Weinberg, assistant to the chancellor and chair of the Douglas County United Way, said United Way allocated more than $1.3 million dollars to 29 agencies in the county for next year.
the organization will not start the campaign empty-handed.
Rock Chalk Revue, an annual student spring variety show, raises money for the United Way through ticket sales. The Rock Chalk advisory board also coordinates community service hours performed
by members of living organizations across campus.
Last March, the Rock Chalk Revue raised $40,000, and yesterday Weinberg announced that 16 local groups and businesses had donated a total of $180.000.
This week, Douglas County residents will begin to receive requests in the mail for donations
Weinberg said a KU campaign would also begin this week, with requests being mailed to current and former employees.
He said employees also would deliver door tags with pledge cards to about 5,000 Lawrence homes.
Weinberg said it was symbolic for the campaign to begin with a large community service kickoff.
"What they're doing is setting an example," Weinburg said. "After seeing all the time and energy people put into this, it makes it easier for people in Lawrence to say, 'Yes, I will make a donation.'"
Weinberg said United Way had raised enough money this year to meet the funds allocated to the agencies but that the organization had not always been able to do so.
Lillian Ruggles, Wichita senior and Rock Chalk Revue community service coordinator, said the Day of Caring also was important because the advisory board began counting community service hours performed by campus living organizations.
Ruggs said the total number of hours would be tabulated and announced during the revue in the spring.

Groups work to prevent sexual assault
By Amber Stuever
Kansan staff writer
Men, women, victims and concerned students are uniting this week in an attempt to prevent sexual assault through awareness.
Today is the first day of Sexual Assault Awareness Week, a week of programs and demonstrations continuing through Fridav.
The week is sponsored by several University of Kansas organizations including the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, Working Against Violence Everywhere, Counseling and Psychological Services, the KU Public Safety Office, Panhellenic, Interfraternity Council, Association of University Residence Halls and others.
Laura Montgomery, coordinator of sexual assault, prevention and education programs at the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said a committee of 15 to 20 people from these organizations helped plan the week.
She said the purpose of the week was to raise awareness among students, staff and faculty on the existence of violence and to motivate them to unite for prevention of violence.
The week's events begin today with the Clothesline Project From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the lawn of Stauffer-Flint Hall. The project is a display of t-shirts decorated by female victims of assault, abuse or rape. The project allows victims to have an avenue to express their emotions and personal views and puts a human face on sexual assault, said Allison McCallie, Panhellenic liaison for the Women's Resource Center.
Three sexual assault survivors including two students - will present a program entitled, "From a Survivor's Perspective: Recovering from Sexual Assault." The program will be from 7 to 8:30 tonight at the Corbin Hall front lobby.
"It's basically an opportunity to let the survivors speak on their experience and to allow people to listen to their stories, ask questions and learn from people who know about it best." McCallie said
Programs throughout the week also include a self-defense demonstration and a campus safety information table on tomorrow. Provocative posters reading, "This is Not an Invitation to Pane Me."
will be displayed from tomorrow through Friday at different locations. Assistant Vice Chancellor Barbara Ballard will present the residence hall sexual assault awareness program on Wednesday, and on Thursday a panel of men will answer questions about women, relationships and violence.
Montgomery said she felt it was important to incorporate men in the week's events.
"We definitely want to reach out to men more and include them in the week's events and in our program," she said. "We can't expect women to solve the problem by excluding men."
The week will end with a demonstration called "Hands Across Campus Against Violence" at noon on Friday in front of Strong Hall. Students will join hands and form a chain across campus to make a visual statement against violence.
"It's an easy thing for people to come over and show their support for," McCallie said.

Struggle for democracy and freedom rages on worldwide
Reflections on political trouble spots around the world should cause Americans to appreciate the democratic system we have. Democracy in the United States may have its own unique problems, but the assault on basic democratic principles other people are facing should cause Americans to feel lucky in comparison.
The violence occurring in East Timor makes the question of Texas Gov. George W. Bush's possible cocaine use a laughable issue. East Timor announced Saturday that the country had voted overwhelmingly to become independent from Indonesia. Unfortunately, tens of thousands of refugees have fled the capital because bands of pro-Indonesian militia are killing hundreds of citizens and torching homes. Four United Nations work
East Timor, Venezuela and Mexico problems highlight U.S. democratic stability
ers have been killed and six others
are missing and presumed dead.
Venezuela's democracy is also in turmoil. Some observers are worried that President Hugo Chavez may be leading Venezuela towards dictatorship. The decidedly pro-Chavez government assembly declared itself the supreme power of the nation last month. The assembly also granted itself the power to change the judicial system and to fire judges.
While college tuition increases are always a concern in the U.S., having a student strike ended by
government force isn't. Students' freedom of speech is protected in the United States, but this is not true in Mexico.
A student strike of more than 2,000 students from the National Autonomous University in Mexico started April 20. The strike began in response to a tuition increase and several reform measures. In a press release, President Ernesto Zedillo indicated the government may intervene to end the strike. This has brought back memories of the 1968 Tlatelolco massacre in which more than 300 people were killed during an anti-graduate student protest.
While questioning our democratic system and its leaders undoubtedly makes it stronger, Americans should not take for granted the relatively smooth government operation and transitions of power we enjoy.

Lazer changes reverberate around Kansas
With regards to the recent news of KLZR 105.9 The Lazer switching format, I feel as though I have lost a dear friend. I've listened to the Lazer since seventh grade and to see it undergo a transition to a Top 40 format makes me feel like Alex of A Clockwork Orange being forcibly subjected to listen to 98 Degrees, Christina Aguilera and LFO.
The Lazer was one of, if not the last great radio stations in Kansas. The Lazer has simply been awesome for as long as I can remember. The Lazer had remained committed to playing what college students wanted to hear, not what teenyboppers wanted to hear. Deeply concerned, I scanned the most recent Billboard Top 40 and found two, maybe (and I stress maybe), three singles that The Lazer would play in its current format. This is a tragedy since it seems nearly every other radio station is catering to the same audience.
ence. The Lazer was also a terrific venue for local artists. I am unable to describe the level of pride I feel whenever I hear Ruskabank, Ultimate Fakebook, Sufferbus or The Creature Comforts on the radio. I fear for upcoming modern rock bands that will not have the same opportunity to be presented to a larger audience. If the Lazer does continue to play local music, it will mostly likely fall on deaf 'N-Syncears.
Chad Elliot, please don't butcher my friend; keep The Lazer as terrific as it has always been. If daughters really want to relate with their
mothers, as you claim, please let them listen to one of the other 10 area radio stations that play Top 40. For love of all that is holy, don't let m take away the Lazer!!!

Parking decision outrages student
It seems that the instructors, professors, and whoever else that normally park behind Blake Hall are being unfairly treated. They had parking spots taken away from them, and given to students. How tragic. The parking department does something great for the residents of Watkins and Miller Halls by giving them 12 permits, and the red and blue pass holders go up in arms.
In the Sept. 8 issue of the Kansan,
it was reported that the parking
department "received a call Friday
from a professor at Blake Hall who
said he was upset with the parking
situation in KU lot 15 behind the
building." I wonder how often the
parking department receives calls
from students living on campus who
are upset with the parking situ-
tions where they live, let alone at
the perpetually filled yellow lots
that are annually oversold. (I will
ignore the fact that the red and blue
lot pass holders can park in yellow
lots anytime.)
On Sept. 9, the Kansan quoted Elaine Sharp, professor of political science and urban politics, as saying, "I knew colleagues that would drive to the University to teach a class and then not be able to find a place to park. Some of the faculty just wound up having to return
home due to the lack of parking." Evidently this is a departmental problem, because however much I would like class to be cancelled at times, I have yet to see an Engineering class cancelled, let alone for a reason like this, and it not because of the spacious accommodations available in the Learned faculty/staff lot.
I want to believe that the colleagues in question then walked to campus to hold class. If that was not the case, I would be outraged. I am putting myself through school, and paying tuition out of pocket. Ultimately, the wages of those colleagues come out of our tuition payments, so in effect, they work for the students. Simple math reveals that we are paying for lessons that do not get taught, we are not receiving a lot for our money. Another question that arises in my mind is: Would this excuse work for students? Does this mean that not coming to class is optional if the yellow lot nearest your class is filled? Even the nearest lot can be quite a hike for students.
It is truly a disaster that the staff cannot park within fifty yards of the buildings where they work. Maybe they can take a lesson from the students who have faced this issue for years, and either ride a bicycle, buy a bus pass, park and ride pass, or (heaven forbid) walk.

Silence not an option to stop discrimination
Perspective
A tat baseball game a couple months ago, I was offended. One of the three middle-aged, white men sitting behind me made a racial slur about a player — loud and clear.
At first I was angry and wanted to turn around and give him a dirty look or ask him if
but any idea of now ignorant that statement made him sound. I wanted to let him know I was not only offended but embarrassed to share a skin color with him.
But I didn't.
When I stopped to think about it, I told myself that this stranger could have a gun or violent tendencies toward women. I told myself that any comment I made would not change his mind, but only bring about a confrontation. In essence.
Jenny Oakson columnist opinion @ kanan.com
1 sold out my conscience for fear of an awkward situation.
This encounter was not the first of its kind. I can recall several instances in which someone's speech offended me, whether it was Grandpa's side comment about homosexuals or a friend of a friend of a friend telling an off-color joke in my living room. I am ashamed of the silence I have demonstrated, because silence often is mistaken for agreement. Believing in something is not solely contained within the folds of my brain — it should be reflected in what comes out of my mouth, as well.
I would never want to censor these racist or discriminating comments. As a journalist, our First Amendment right is sacred to me. But I seem to be at a loss for courage to exercise my own right to retort with a counter-opinion. If I express that I am offended, am I stopping
racism or merely removing it from my earshot? Does leaving the conversation show enough of my distaste or am I hiding from an uncomfortable situation?
Especially painful is when discrimination hits close to home. My friends and family make up the group that I would assume knows me best. When a friend confides in me her grotesque, racist opinions (usually finding false security in that she and I are both white, heterosexual women), I am offended to be included in a "safe to be a racist around" category. I also find myself looking for a delicate approach to a not-so-delicate issue.
In the past, I've tried to present the differing opinion or announcement that a certain phrase is offensive and that only led to long, hopeless debates, a quick cover-up like "My best friend is Black or gay or Hispanic" or the other person telling me not to be so politically correct or that I don't understand because of his personal experience.
well, I'm not in the honors program, but I think I understand discrimination and no matter how much someone or their ancestors has been oppressed, I feel that hate, and hating an entire group, is wrong.
But I usually keep my mouth shut. I usually cringe or roll my eyes, without calling someone on his or her racist remark. Because of people like myself, individuals who say racist or discriminating remarks are led to think that it is a unanimous sentiment among others of the same religion, color or sexual preference, and I hate the thought of that.
Now, I think of my responsibility, not to society or minorities, but to myself. For the first time, I realize that no awkward moment can ever be as discomforting as betraying the most important person in my life — myself.

Homelessness survives despite bustling economy
No matter what the outcome of the race for president, most of the residents of Pennsylvania Avenue won't change in November 2000.
I am speaking of the thousands of men, women and children who make their homes on the streets of Washington every night. In our capital city, these victims of the social disease of poverty huddle around heat grates for warmth at night, and they eat from the dumpsters of our grand government buildings during the day. They find themselves victims of sweeps by the
police, who scatter their meager belongings, intimidate them and drive them off without cause.
10
The intensity of poverty in Washington may have been what drew me to the city this summer, where I was an intern at the largest homeless shelter in the United States. I wanted to help people, and the 1,300 homeless people at the Community for Creative Non-Violence shelter all were in dire need.
My work consisted of two months in the section for

nonlemy men older than 50 with physical disabilities. I lived in the shelter, sleeping hours that even a college student would find unusual, working all-night shifts and returning to bed at 9 a.m. Whether I was sorting through rent receipts of a wrongly evicted elderly man, calling an ambulance for a resident who could not breathe or listening to the stories of former business owners whose illnesses cost them everything, I was overwhelmed by the toll of poverty on the human spirit.
One man on my floor, James, was a professional boxer during the same era as Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. But he spent most of the 1970s and '80s in prison on a drug-related charge, then emerged to be one of the founders of the CCNV shelter. He had an apartment and a hotel job until 1988, when he had a heart attack. Although he survived, he was unable to work and became one of the residents at the shelter he helped create. James became like a grandfather to me, giving me tips on working with the homeless and sharing his experiences. His embarrassment about his situation was obvious, and he longed for an employer who would overlook his medical condition and criminal background.
Another man, Charles, was once a computer programmer until alcoholism cost him his job. He often sleeps on a corner that the president's limousine passes on its way to church. When I asked him what he would say to the president if he got a chance, he said, "I would tell him we are dying out here. I would tell him we want to live."
If you want to learn more about Jubilee Cafe and other ways to combat homelessness in Lawrence, please call me or Jennifer Bacani at the Center for Community Outreach office, 864-4073. Whether you serve food or do another type of volunteer work, your service will benefit you, as well as people such as James and Charles who need someone who cares.
A report released by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities indicates that we may see more people on the streets. The report showed that the incomes of the bottom 20 percent of female-headed families, who are highly susceptible to homelessness already, fell an average of $880 between 1995 and 1997. Even in a robust economy, welfare reform has left families with declining incomes and fewer options. Unexpected situations like a job layoff or medical expense could make the streets the only option.
Hess is a Wichita senior in social welfare and co-director of Jubilee Cafe.
To work on the problem of homelessness, you do not need to travel to Washington. I invite you to join the volunteers of the Jubilee Cafe, a student-organized breakfast kitchen for the homeless in Lawrence. There you will have the opportunity to cook food, and most importantly, build relationships with the 50-100 poor and homeless guests in the restaurant-style setting. Volunteers do not just provide food, which nourishes the body, they also provide the dignity and respect that nourishes the heart and soul.
People like Charles and James certainly are not alone. Even in Lawrence, between 150 and 300 people are homeless at any time.

Fair to highlight study abroad
Event to feature new locations for foreign study
By Amanda Kashube
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Office of Study Abroad will take over the fourth floor of the Kansas Union tomorrow, anticipating the recruitment of more students for the office's programs covering 47 countries and 20 languages.
The Study Abroad Fair will feature KU's programs and 10 new outside programs, said David Wiley, outreach coordinator for the office.
"It's a unique chance for students to meet with advisers, other KU students who have done the programs and exchange students from the countries," he said. "It's the complete view of the programs."
Among the new participants in the programs are Tel Aviv University, University of New Castle in Australia and the Sann Institute in Nepal.
that the office does not cover that many countries," Wiley said.
He also said he was hoping for 500 students to attend the fair.
"Some students may assume
Wiley said most students this semester have been interested in the new programs to Australia and Nepal.
Along with representatives from the office, students who have spent a semester or more in the exchange countries will also be present to answer questions about details not included in the informational packet.
New to the game
To the right are the 10 study abroad locations that have been added to this year's program roster. Study Abroad offers programs in 47 countries speaking 20 different languages.

University of Kansas > Study Abroad Program
Almee Osbourn, Olathe senior, spent a year in Besançon, France, as part of an exchange program. She said the experience was a positive one.
"I wanted to improve on my language skills and become fluent in French," she said. "I was burned out from my major, and I just wanted something different."
Osbourn, who will be at the fair, lived with a French family for three weeks and in a single room in an all-French dorm for the remainder of her year-long stay.
"I feel more independent now," she said. "I'm a big advocate of study abroad. It opened
ap my eyes to different cultures, and I learned their views on the United States."
Wiley said that along with the French programs, Great Britain was one of the most popular exchanges because students didn't have to learn a new language and also because of the price.
"For out-of-state students, it's cheaper than going to KU for a semester," he said. "It has more of an in-state rate."
Wiley said that the exchange programs had a variety of prices and that students needed to shop around to find the best
for them.
"There are very expensive programs and reasonable ones too," he said.
Scholarships are also available for those with financial need.
The Study Abroad Fair will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Union. Wiley said he would encourage students to stop by even if they were just thinking about going abroad.
"It's something everyone should do but not something everybody gets a chance to do," he said.

Traveling exhibit highlights Latin American art
By Emily Hughey
by Emily Hugney
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
As the tendency toward all things Latin American rages on in the United States, the Spencer Museum of Art has temporarily tamed a tract of the trend.
One collection at the Kress Gallery in the museum has made its way around the country and is ending its national tour with a stay at the art museum. The collection, Mexican Prints from the Collection of Reba and Dave Williams, made its debut at the University on Aug. 21 and will stay until Oct. 17.
Erin Goodison, Mound City senior and receptionist at the museum, said she thought the collection was one of the biggest to come to the museum and that the presence of the exhibit reflected the growing interest in Latin American lifestyles.
"Latin American art history and Latin American art is increasing in popularity." Goodison said. "It's sort of like African art did in the '60s. People are starting to pay more attention to it. It's a trend. There's a surge in interests in all things Latin American right now."
The exhibit, a survey of printmaking in Mexico from the 1920s through the 1950s, includes works from Frida Kahlo, Leopoldo Mendez, Jose Clemente Orozco, Diego

of Mexico's Revolution of 1910.
Ben Shockey, Overland Park senior, said he attended most of the exhibits that came to the museum. In his four years of viewing the museum's collections, he said the Mexican print exhibit was one of his favorites because of both the quality of the work and the prestige of the artists. However, he said he could not choose one particular print as his favorite.
"I don't really know that I could mention one piece. I think it's pretty fascinating, though, that Mexican art manages to blend traditional Mexican themes with politics," Shockey said. "Usually now, if it's political, it kind of takes over the art. Mexican art seems to have a themeless mix of tradition and politics."
All characteristic of the post-Revolution graphics revival in Mexico, the prints reflect the social concerns of the time and pay tribute to revolutionary heroes. Shockey said he was pleased the museum was exhibiting the Latin American collection.
"It's a vibrant culture and has been probably for as long as it's existed," he said. "And we're just now allowing that to be a major part of the United States. There's a lot more consciousness of America's multiculturalism, and since it tells their story, the art is worth looking at."

Organization aids student adjustment
By Lesley Simmons
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The Step Program is recruiting mentors to help new students adjust to life at the University of Kansas.
Aida Garcia, Lenexa junior and program coordinator, became involved with the program as an upperclassman.
The program, which is connected to Hawk Link—a program designed to improve minority student retention at the University—seeks to link new students with older students who know how to succeed at the University.
"I think it would have been very helpful as a freshman," she said. "I would have been a step ahead if I could have taken advantage of a program like this."
Robert Page, assistant director of admissions, said the program actively recruited students of color and matched them with mentors. But, he said, any new student could request a mentor by contacting the Office of Multicultural Affairs at 45 Strong Hall.
The mentors encourage students to attend programs and are available to talk to students one on one. Students are usually matched with mentors who share their majors so that they can provide help with homework.
Volunteer mentors must be sophomores or older in good academic standing. Students interested in serving as mentors can also contact the office for more information.
The Step Together Program, which is in coordination with the Step program, is also recruiting mentors. Instead of recruiting individuals to serve as mentors, though, Step Together asks student organizations to collectively adopt a student to mentor.
An advantage of the program is that new students can draw on the experiences of every student in the organization.
So far, 32 new students have requested mentors.
This week, the office is sending a letter to all freshman students of color to inform them about the program. Also this week, the students coordinating both programs will decide how they want to train mentors and recruit students and what activities they want to organize as part of the programs.
One activity already set is the Step Social. At the social, which is scheduled for Sept. 24, mentors will meet the students they are matched with.

"You can see how much people care every day here. Because it's a smaller program, you have a lot of contact with your professors. It's not uncommon to be asked by my professors 'how are things going?' or 'What can we do to help?'. It sounds kind of corny, but everybody here is like a member of my family."

When most people think of sidewalk food vendors, they think of hot dogs, pretzel and maybe even falafel. They probably don't think of potato soup or green peppers stuffed with fruit and vegetables.
Brent McClun, owner of Potato Mountain Cafe, 803 Vermont St., is bringing more creative, or what others have called "goofy" and "weird," businesses to downtown Lawrence.
"When you're successful, you call it creativity. When you're poor, you call it desperation." McClun said.
Jesse Anderson, Lawrence freshman, works for McClun at Potato Mountain and said that business was good at the spuds-based cafe.
McClun said that the relative success of the restaurant had allowed him to try new ideas and see if he could make them work.
Saturday's downtown traffic provided the setting for a trial run of McClun's latest business venture, the Buddy Bizarre. The Buddy Bizarre is a sidewalk vending operation at 10th and Massachusetts streets that features Tub Buddies, which are green peppers stuffed with a variety of fruits and vegetables and potato soup. McClun said he wants the
Buddy Bizarre to begin daily operation on Sept. 26.
McClun also has two other new ideas in the works. Some time this week, Caren-n-Cary Carrots will join Potato Mountain at 803 Vermont St., McClun said. Not only will customers be able to pick from 100 ways to serve mashed potatoes, they will also have more than 100 varieties of carrot cake from which to choose.
Yet another new venture, Hubbard's Cupboards, likely
will open Sept. 28, McClun said. Hubbard's Cupboards, also at 803 Vermont St., will be an original tea house based on the Mother Hubbard nursery rhyme.
Groups can make afternoon reservations for tables where tea and gourmet pastries will be served. McClun said that the tea house would be an ideal setting for book clubs or little girls' tea parties.
There also will be a tea bar where customers can sample teas from around the world
and learn about tea-drinking in other cultures.
McClun said that he would add more things to his new businesses as they became established.
Caren-n-Cary Carrots will expand to include carrot casserole, carrot quiche, carrot stew and more.
The Buddy Bizarre will eventually add an olive bar and Sub-Buddies—sub-like sandwiches that stand on their ends and are stuffed with ingredients.
McClun, who has had a self-described extended rebel youth, said that his unconventional business ventures come from an overactive imagination and that sometimes he thought he was cursed with ideas.
Although Potato Mountain has been popular, McClun said, some people have been less than enthusiastic about his ideas.
"When I told one guy about Potato Mountain, he said, 'People try all sorts of stupid things.'" McClun said.
Jennifer Downing, Salina senior, is not a Potato Mountain fan.
"It was like microwaved potatoes 100 ways," Downing said. "It was disgusting."
Downing said she was pessimistic about the success of Caren-n-Cary Carrots.
"Are you kidding me? You can barely get people to eat carrots as it is," Downing said.
McClun won't be dissuaded by criticism, though. He said that he thinks his new ventures are unique, and he's always up for a challenge.
Along with his business challenges, McClun said he is an aspiring high-altitude mountaineer and plans to take a Denali prep course and eventually climb that mountain.

Indonesian economy, violence cause concern
Continued from page 1A
sure the independence vote represented the will of the East Timorese. In the email, Losher wrote that he thought members of the Indonesian army were responsible for the militia violence.
Schrodt said because Indonesia's central government was weak, it was possible for members of the army to act without government approval and that if Indonesian President Habibie hadn't agreed to allow U.N. peacekeeping troops into the country, outside nations might have sent troops
He said that Indonesia still was in fairly poor shape because of the Southeast Asian financial crisis two years ago and that the crisis might be part of the reason Habibie had supported the peacekeeping mission.
"They need all the help they can get economically," he said. "If you want other countries in the international system to be nice to you, murdering your population is not a good idea."
Kyle Browning, president of the KU chapter of Amnesty International, said he had been following the situation in East Timor for years. He said he was happy when the East Timorese had the opportunity to vote for independence, but that the violence was terrible.
Teddy, a Surabaya, Indonesia, junior, who uses only one name, said the violence in East Timor did not directly affect his family and that the Indonesian economy was of more concern
"The U.N. troops will probably make peace in the region," he said.

Troops to go to East Timor
The Associated Press
AUCKLAND, New Zealand—President Clinton welcomed Indonesia's reluctant acceptance of an international peacekeeping force in terror-ridden East Timor, and the United States said a limited number of American troops will be deployed on the ground to support the mission.
Clinton's national security adviser, Sandy Berger, said the United States hopes the peacekeepers — led by Australia and largely with forces from Asian nations — will deploy in the next several days.
Clinton was awakened about early this morning with news that a once-defiant Indonesian President B.J. Hahabible had caved to pressure and sanctions from the United States and its allies to invite peacekeepers into East Timor. Clinton had accused Indonesia's military of aiding and abetting savage violence across East Timor after it voted overwhelming for independence.
"This will involve U.S. troops," Berger said. "Some of those troops will be in Timor but they will be, I think, of limited numbers. And I don't want to rule out anything categorically but the focus is not on infantry forces."
The United States will supply planes and pilots to carry troops, and help with logistics, communications and intelligence, Clinton said.
After adamantly refusing outside assistance, Indonesia abruptly reversed itself, apparently defusing an international crisis and averting condemnation from leaders of the 21-member Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit (APEC). Clinton had been rallying Asian leaders to intensify pressure on Jakarta.
In Washington, Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott said Congress probably would support a limited U.S. role. "If it's communications, logistics, transportation, I think there would be support for that," he said Sunday on CBS"Face the Nation."
"It if involves troops on the ground, I think then a lot more questions are going to be asked, and of course there's always the question of what the cost is going to be." Lott said.
Berger refused to speculate how many Americans would be involved or how long they would be deployed.

Winning isn't the cure for gamblers
Continued from page 1A
Often, students and other gamblers won't get second chances.
Chad Ott, Valencia, Calif., junior,
said that he and his roommates
regularly spent between $400 and
$500 collectively a week on gambling
or betting. While he said they
preferred to bet on sports events,
they also had visited the casinos in
Kansas City, Mo., The Woodlands
Racetracks and even Las Vegas.
"I first went to Vegas when I was 16 with a fake ID," Ott said. "Now I go every year at least a couple of times."
Donna Doolin, a clinical coordinator and certified compulsive gambling counselor at Topeka's St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center, said for Todd and other adults who regularly gambled, quitting wasn't that easy.
"Just because someone wins a lot of money, doesn't mean that they will quit," Doolin said. "Gambling is similar to other addictions. Sometimes it's not about the money."
Ott said that he and his roommates had participated in online betting and had utilized a bookie to raise the stakes for their weekend football game bets. Big payoffs on Labor Day weekend included the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Louisville Cardinals football games, which paid the house residents about $250.
said so would his gambling.
As football season continues, Ott
"We just got our Direct TV satellite hooked up," he said. "It's going to be gambling headquarters here."

Doolin, who specializes in helping people addicted to gambling, said that college students such as Ott and his roommates tend to prefer betting on sports events. She said that situations easily could arise in which the students fell deep into debt without a way out.

"At that point, it's like other addictions," she said. "With limited options, they are at risk of suicide or other problems."
According to the findings of the National Opinion Research Center survey, which was commissioned by the National Gambling Impact Study Commission last year, more than 5 million Americans are pathological or problem gamblers. At least another 15 million people are at risk of becoming so.
About 64 percent of adults between 18 and 24 years old said they had placed a bet in the past year, and according to the survey, college graduates are more likely to be at-risk gamblers than those at other education levels.
For most people, however, Doolin said there were various reasons why gambling was satisfying.
"Money is just the tool," she said. "Gambling isn't about winning money. It's about the thrill and the escape."
Ott agreed.
"We look forward to it every
JUNE 1993
weekend," she said. "It's exciting and it makes the games more fun to watch."
Chad Ott, Jr, Valencia, Calif., goes online to check scores and place bets while watching a football game he has money riding on. Ott can bet on anything from stocks to horse races online at www.intertops.com. Photo by Aaron Lindberg/KANSAN
Despite Doolin's view of money's power when gambling, for the Havilands and some students, money is their downfall.
Phyllis Harrison, credit counselor and education programmer for Consumer Credit Counseling Service, said that controlling a budget was impossible unless the problem was fixed first. Most of the compulsive gamblers that she has helped have been in debt.
"The good news is that while it's a severe problem, there is help," she said. "It's about setting goals and learning to pay bills on time."
Ott said that he and his roommates had their budget under control. While the most they have won on a single game was about $800, they've lost about that much as well.
"We always pay our bills first, and we're not playing with our college money," he said. "We also don't consider it another income."
For other students, losing money isn't nearly as easy.
Mike Elliott, Wichita junior, said he first went to a casino in Minnesota when he was 18 years old, where it was legal. He's returned to other casinos recently, but said losing money was the biggest turnoff.
"You go up a few hundred and then down again," he said. "It's not
fun."
While gambling exists at the University of Kansas, even within KU housing, there is not a Gamblers Anonymous program on campus or in Lawrence. With at least six casinos an hour away, plus numerous betting pools during football and basketball seasons, students who find themselves addicted to gambling must drive to Topeka or Kansas City for Gamblers Anonymous meetings.
David Ambler, vice chancellor of student affairs, said that while he hadn't heard about too many students addicted to gambling, some of his staff members confirmed that the University was not exempt from this problem.
He said that although there were not gambling counselors readily available, students were encouraged to contact Counseling and Psychological Services at Wattkins Memorial Health Center.
Ambler also said that if KU students attempted to organize a Gamblers Anonymous program, the University would assist.
Ott said that he and his roommates didn't need help, even though he was unsure as to whether he would be considered an addict.
"There's always going to be a part of me that will want to put a bet on a game," he said. "Who knows if that's going to go away."

Pet owners' affection for animal companions endures beyond grave
By Stephanie Schumm Special to the Kansan
Bonnie Hullinger stoops to arrange the brightly colored bouquet of artificial flowers near Corky's grave marker, which reads, "An angel who won her wings."
Bonnie and Clarence Hullinger buried Corky, their canine companion of 14 years, at a nearby pet cemetery in order to feel closer to her. The Hullengers have fond memories of their pet that died last August and describe the brown-and-white Collie mix as smart and well behaved.
The Hullingers are among pet owners across the nation who forgo the standard backyard burial for a special burial or cremation service to commemorate their pets.
"It's still hard for us," Bonnie says, her voice hesitating. "That dog was like our child." Every Friday, the Topeka couple visits Corky's grave.
Corky's body was buried at Pet Memorial Gardens cemetery on the outskirts of Topeka. The cemetery, founded in 1953, was originally intended for humans, but because clients kept asking to be buried with their pets, the cemetery owner added a pet cemetery in the early 1980s.
The one-acre area allotted to pets is situated on the edge of the original cemetery grounds where a miniature red ceramic fire hydrant marks its entrance. Grave markers rest to either side of the path that leads to a covered memorial wall containing photos of the buried pets.
Benches provide mourners with a place to rest as they gaze at photographs and the collection of ceramic animal friends adorning the structure.
Denise Myrick, Pet Memorial Gardens' office administrator, said. "If you care about your pet as much as you do other people in your family, then it's really good to be able to have someplace to come and remember them."
Rolling Acres is another cemetery catering to grieving pet owners. The Kansas City, Mo., pet cemetery contains 2,675 buried pets: cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, snakes, horses, birds, pigs, cows and a fish. Rolling Acres sells a full line of p catkets and urns and offers optional services where family members can view their pet's body one last time. The bodies are shampooed, groomed, arranged in a coffin and placed in a special viewing room. Rolling Acre also will embalm pets upon request.
A pet cemetery lot can cost between $100 to $270 depending on the location.
In addition to burial, cremation is a popular and more affordable option for deceased pets.
The Lawrence Humane Society, 1805 E. 19th St., offers crematory services for animals. This process is similar to human cremation. Stacy Hoobler, office manager, said cremation was free unless the owner wished to keep the ashes. The cost for returning ashes ranges from $30 for small cats and dogs, up to $75 for larger animals and includes a decorated can.
Taxidermists can be of help to pet owners who are reluctant to bury or cremate their pets. Second Creation Taxidermy in Kansas City, Kan., offers both freeze-drying and mounting for small household pets.
Owner Cindy Cunningham said freeze-drying was a slow process, which dehydrated the animal's body. She compared the finished product to nonperishable camping food like beef jerky or dried apricots. Second Creation charges $500-$700 for freeze-drying depending on the size of the pet. The store also will stuff and mount pets, which scoote around $250. Cunningham
estimated that she worked on 15 pets per year.
Herschel Lewis, owner of Lewis Veterinary Clinic, 3101 W. 6th St. said that grief counseling was an important part of his job. He said that many veterinary colleges offered courses on how to counsel owners mourning their dead pets.
Lewis said that some people dealt oddly with the death of their pets. He recalled a man who brought his poodle to the clinic to have him examined

The pooled's owner then told Lewis: "Well the dog's getting old, he's gonna die one of these days and I've just been thinking about having it made into a little throw rug. I'd just put it right there on the bed, you see, cause he spends all of his time on the bed anyway." Lewis recalled, smiling.

Ask him very nicely, and Captain, as his friends call him, will do the best rooster crow you've ever heard.
"He's the best roommate I've ever had," said Ron Powers, Fairbanks, Alaska, junior. Captain is a 7-year-old green parrot like the one from the movie Polly, Powers said. The two regularly go on walks together, and Powers even lets his parrot talk on the phone.
"You feed him every day, and he pretty much takes care of himself," Powers said.
That's not to say that there aren't problems with the living arrangements. The pleasures of owning a pet come with the burden of added responsibilities.
"I wouldn't recommend having a pet like this to other students," Powers said. "When you're a student, you are a busy individual, and you really have to be there for the pet."
Sometimes, Powers said, he would have to put the boisterous Captain in the bathroom, the bird's time-out room, and shut off the lights just so that he could study or simply think clearly.
"Pretty boy rooster," he yells, then starts to crow.
"At the end of the semester, everyone comes back and dumps the pets off," she said. "Parents won't let them bring the pet home, or they're moving into an apartment where they can't have animals. So, they either literally just open the door and let the pet loose or they bring them back here to us."
Despite the hassle, students have become increasingly interested in owning pets.
"In the last couple of weeks since school's started, we've definitely noticed a big flood of people wanting new kittens and puppies," said Stacy Hoobler, office manager at the Lawrence Humane Society, 1805 E. 19th St.
Hoobler said that students who like having a pet around unfortunately have problems keeping it.
Mark Marks, D.V.M. at Marks Veterinary Hospital, said that he foresaw problems with students trying to raise pets.
"My concern is that students get a pet that one, will fit into the environment that they have available for it, and two, one they can afford," Marks said.
"What students don't realize is that the expense isn't in the shots, it's in feeding the animal every day of its life."
Students also may forget the expenses of frequent check-ups and flea control, Marks said. He estimated that owning a kitten could cost several hundred dollars a year

knows the pains of pet care.
She has worked at PetCo for five months taking care of animals every day.
However, her concerns for pets do not end when she leaves work.
"I have a cat that I'm going to have to get rid of," Frackowiak said. "The vet thinks there's something really wrong with it — and it doesn't use the litter-box."
Frackowki said that Tokyo, her Siamese cat, was a stray when she got it from a friend's mother:
"I thought that I could take care of it, but I don't have the time," she said. "Most students go to school full-time and work also, and it's hard to have an animal when you're never home."
She soon discovered that smaller pets present a another set of difficulties.
Amy West, Colwich senior, said she knew she wanted a pet that wouldn't be too time-consuming.
Only a few hours after purchasing tropical fish and a special heater and putting them in her bubble-gum machine aquarium, West noticed something was wrong.
"I was lying around studying when I looked at my fish. One of them looked fine, the other was swimming around in circles upside down," she said.

Quarterback leads Kansas to 71-14 win
Bv Mike Miller
By Mike Miller sports@kansan.com Kansan sport.com
It was unlike anything he'd ever encountered at junior college.
Quarterback Dylen Smith, a junior transfer from Santa Monica Community College in Santa Monica, Calif., was amazed at all the attention he garnered from the media after Saturday's 71-14 win against California State-Northridge.
"At home it was shower, get dressed and go home," he said.
Instead, Smith answered questions from about a dozen reporters and squinted under the lights of half a dozen cameras. He did his best to answer questions succinctly and carefully, then watched as the reporters were shooed out of the locker room.
"I could get used to this though. Especially if we start winning like this." Smith said.
The attention was deserved because Saturday's win served as a break-out performance for Smith. He completed 13 of 15 passes for 172 yards and three touchdowns and had great touch on his passes all night.
One touchdown was a 27-yard pass to running back Henri Childs, who caught the ball without breaking his stride. Another was an over-the-shoulder grab by wide receiver Michael Chandler.
Or were they?
The Matadors brought only 45 players— half as many as Kansas—and their defense was on the field for more than half the game. They were worn down by the end of the game, as Kansas ran the ball twice as often as it passed. But that

Chandler honors mom with touchdown catch

For Chacha Chandler, not everything comes easily.
His run of bad luck started on a crisp, cold night in Kansas at the end of February, when Chandler's life hit the first wall in a series of roadblocks.
At 5 a.m. Feb. 28, three men, armed with a firearm and a baseball bat, stormed into Chandler's apartment in Lawrence, beat him with the bat and shot him in the groin with the handgun.
When the news broke in eastern Kansas, no one knew how much the incident would influence Chandler's job as a receiver for the Kansas football team. The prognosis worsened when the Jayhawks opened spring practice weeks after the shooting. Chandler, who also was recovering from ankle surgery, saw his name in the lower left-hand corner of the roster page of the spring press guide, under the heading "Injured - Ruled out for contact in the spring."
But that's not the way Chandler operates.
"The doctors are so conservative sometimes," Chandler said at the time. "I just told them I'm all right to play."
So all spring, Chandler defied the doctors and headed out to the Kansas practice fields, took hits with the first team and hauled in touchdown passes. This fall.
nuded in tochtown Chandler worked his way back into the starting wide receiver rotation while his body held up under the strain of two-a-day practices in the swellering Kansas sun.

Chandler's life off the field started heading
downhill again.
His quick recovery even amazed Kansas coach Terry Allen.

Last weekend, during the Jayhawks' week off, his mother died.
Allen was looking on when Chandler told his deceased mother, "Mom, I'll meet you in the end zone with my next touchdown catch."
Chandler missed Tuesday's practice to attend his mother's funeral and to deliver the eulogy.
"The first couple of days back at practice, it was hard to concentrate on football," Chandler said. "But after a while, it was nice to come in and do some things to keep my mind off the tragedy in my family."
On Saturday against California State Northridge, the Jayhawks were ahead of the Matadors 50-14 with 3:07 left in the third quarter and had the ball at the Northridge six yard line after Muhammad Abdul-Rahim's 29 yard interception return.
Her untimely death made Chandler put football in perspective.

While many fans had left the game, Chandler's teammates swarmed him in the end zone, giving the 6-foot, 200-pound wide receiver from Kansas City, Kan., hugs that would last long after kicker Joe Garcia added the extra point. The score after the touchdown was 57-14, but the lopsided result did little to dampen the moment for Allen and the Jayhawks.
"That was special," Allen said. "I'm sure it meant a lot to him and meant a lot to me."
I meant a lot to him and meant a lot to me. Chandler finished the day with two receptions for 17 yards. One went for a first down, while the other went for a touchdown for his mother.

It's a long road from Mayans to the WNBA
I'm screwed
You see, I have a problem. An addiction, really.
Let's just get that out there, because there's no depaying it.
I watch too much sports. Put me in the bleachers, press box or on the couch, and I can watch any game — even one as boring as Kansas' drubbing of California State-Northridge on Saturday.
Not a problem during the summer or winter break. The problem in my wacked- out life starts the same time classes do, and we're headed right towards my prime problem time.
It's pathetic. I can be bored after five minutes in class, but put a game on that big monitor in 110 Budig, and I'll be there all day.
Take this weekend. From 7 p.m. Friday until fall asleep last night, I was watching, thinking or talking sports (save for sleep, a trip to Station Casino late Friday night and a beer break or two, of course).
And I'm not getting any help. More top college football teams are playing each other this year than I can ever remember. The NFL just started, baseball is about to get interesting and college basketball's right around the corner.
How in the name of Monday Night Football am I supposed to study the Mayan tribe with all this going on?
Please humor me in me addiction.
Please honor me in my addiction:
- Give the circus act known as the New York Mets credit. I don't know how they've done it, but they're in the National League baseball playoff chase despite more distractions than any presidential scandal.

but he also has refused to enter the game as a pinch hitter. The entire team's coaching staff was fired in what many thought was an invitation for manager Bobby Valentine to quit. Then Valentine served a short suspension after returning to a game he was ejected from wearing a makeshift costume that included eye black as a moustache. And most recently, Rey Ordonez had six stitches above his left eye after being punched by his backup, Luis Lopez.

The press box at the football stadium was money well spent. It has air conditioning, comfortable seats, the biggest TV I've ever seen and even a diaper changer in the men's bathroom. That's the only one on campus, by the way.
- Kansas played Chicago State in volleyball this weekend, a team that hasn't won a match in more than two seasons. At what point do you stop?

The Kansas volleyball team did a good job of keeping its opponents on the ropes this weekend. The only thing it didn't do well was following through with the knockout punch.
The Jayhawks endured two big blows during the Hampton Inn Jayhawk Classic
Tournament at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. After sweeping Chicago State in the opening match, Kansas suffered back-to-back losses on Friday night and Saturday afternoon, blowing seemingly insurmountable leads against Texas Christian and Auburn.
Kansas' weekend had the makings of something special. in beating Chicago State 15-4, 15-7 and 15-3 on Friday afternoon, the
"It's definitely not how we wanted to end the weekend," said Kansas junior outside hitter Amy Myatt after the Jayhawks, 5-2, finished third in the tournament, and Auburn went home champions.
Jayhawks got big contributions all around. Junior outside hitter, Sara Kidd recorded nine kills, Myffa had seven kills and sophomore sitter Molly LareMade 44 assists.
Then came the heartbreaker against Texas Christian. Kansas won the first game, 15-5, then was serving in the second game with a 13-10 lead when the wheels fell off. The Horned Frogs scored five straight points and won the game, 15-13. The Jayhawkw won the third game, 15-9, behind four kills from Myatt and three

To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day. 0 the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Todav is a 5
Ages (March 21-April 19) - Today is a 5. You're drawing a lot of attention to yourself. Some of it's positive, but some is kind of critical. You want to put on a good performance, so you need to be confident. You get there the same way you get to Carnegie Hall. Practice, practice, practice!
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5.
Today, the first thing you may notice is that a lot of energy is required to accomplish even the simplest tasks. That's because you're swimming against the tide. Somebody's resisting you. Listen, even if their idea is ridiculous. That might help them light up.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 4.
It sure is Monday, isn't it? It seems like there's just one hassle after another all day long. Maybe it's partially because it's so tough getting back into the rut, but that's what you should do. Stick with the routine, and things will go much more smoothly.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is an 8.
Even though it's Monday, this day could be more relaxing than most. There's work to be done; that's true. Some might even be unusual, but you should be confident enough to try something different and succeed at it.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 4.
Take things slowly today, one step at a time.
Figure out the money as you go along, too. It would be easy for you to promise more than you can really afford, and that could be a bummer.
You hate it when you have to give something back.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Todav is a 6.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7.
A checkmate situation is in effect right now. You might be able to get through, but almost nobody else can. It might even be difficult for you to travel, but you can get the message across, so do that.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
LBRD (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Today is a 6.
It might feel like there isn't not enough money, but that's a temporary condition. Actually, you may not get much more money this week, but after about Wednesday, you won't care. Something you think you can't live without will fade in importance. Either that, or you'll find it on sale. Look around.
You're probably feeling feisty and ready for a squabble. Take care that you don't pick one with a person who's in a similar mood or who has a couple of good friends. Instead of tossing your weight around, how about tossing your weight in support of your team? That'll be more effective.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 4.
Signatures (NOV. 22 DEC. 21) — Today is a 4.
You may spend most of today playing catch-up. A pile of stuff is left over from last week and needs immediate attention. Unfortunately, a bunch of new stuff is coming in. Eeek! Make setting priorities your first priority.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 9
3
Capitrom (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 9.
You can get what you want, but it'll take a team effort. The problems you're facing are as follows: not enough money, not enough time and not enough money. The key is to get more people on your team. Start with that and don't worry. You're hot.

Now that you know what's expected, all you have to do is follow directions. That's a good idea once you figure out which set of directions you should follow. Everybody's got an opinion, and each is sure they're right. Choose the leader who serves you best.

Baseball official to resign after the World Series
NEW YORK — Angry with proposals to strip his job of nearly all authority, National League president Len Coleman plans to resign at the end of the World Series.
Coleman, baseball's highest-ranking black official, has headed the National League since March 1994.

Whoa, Nellie! Retired announcer returns to football
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — Keith Jackson, whose booming voice was a signature of ABC TV's college football coverage until his retirement last year, returned to the broadcast booth Saturday.
鱼
Eight months after quitting, the 70-year old broadcaster did play-by-play for ABC's regional telecast of the California-Nebrask game, pairing with longtime partner Bob Griese.
"I feel just like a rookie today."
Jackson said two hours before kick
Jackson, in his 33rd year with ABC, was talked into returning by ABC Sports president Howard Katz.
off. "I had no thought of doing this again. I was turned off. We were going a totally different direction."
Jackson, who turns 71 in October,
said his contract was for three years
or perhaps for as long as he wanted.
With the exception of Saturday's game, Jackson will do only West Coast Pac-10 games to minimize travel from his Los Angeles home.
He did the California-Nebraska
game because he had planned to be in Lincoln for the dedication of Nebraska's new $36 million press box and luxury skvboxes.
The press box was named after Jackson's longtime friend Don Bryant, who retired as Nebraska's sports information director in 1996.
Bryant had a hand in naming the bathroom in the television portion of press box "The Keith Jackson Toilet Facility," which drew recurring chuckles from Griese.
"Every stop we made last year,
they'd bring him all these gifts because he was retiring — they didn't bring me a damn thing." Griese said. "And now he gets a bathroom named after him for coming out of retirement."
For the record, Jackson claimed that he never has uttered the phrase "Whoa, Nellie!" during a broadcast. He said the phrase, often attributed to him, was originated by comedians doing impersonations of him.
"It just got tagged onto me," Jackson said. "There's nobody in our family named Nellie. I'll guarantee you."

The Kansas cross country team needed to take advantage of the lone opportunity it had this season to run at its home course, Rim Rock Farm. The men's team did exactly that, finishing first with two of its runners finishing in the top five.
Senior runner Andy Tate continued his successful season and finished second, and senior Brian Jensen finished fourth. "It went really well. The team is looking excellent." Tate said. "I expected us to run real strong and smart. We ran a solid race."
Tate and Jensen ran together as a team through the race.
"Andy and I were just going to go together," Jensen said. "We ran as a team and I was feeling good all the way."
Tate is excited about the success of the men's team, but knows there is a lot more competition still ahead.
"We still need to stay patient; it's a long road ahead," Tate said. "It's just the tip of the iceberg for us."
Jensen said that the meet was a training meet for him to get ready for the Roy Griak Invitational in Minneapolis on Sept. 25.
Gary Schwartz, Kansas cross country coach,
was happy with the men's first-place finish and
how they ran the race.
"It's always nice on the guys' side to win. We are working on trying to emphasize the last part of the race." Schwartz said.
Three other Jayhawks also ran well and finished in the top 15. Sophomore Brent Behrens finished seventh, sophomore Pete Prince placed ninth and junior Brian Blachy was 11th.
The women's team placed fourth out of six teams. Sophomore Keely Malone was the first Jawhawk to cross the finish line and placed 12th.
"I think it was a pretty strong race. Our team was strong," Malone said. "I gave it my best effort and the team as a whole also did."
Four runners on the women's team finished in the top 25. Sophomore Sara Brinkley finished 20th, senior Kim Bratton finished 21st, sophomore Courtney Deutsch was 22nd and freshman Bridget Morrisey was 23rd.
Senior Diane Heffernan was unable to finish because of an ankle injury suffered during the race.
Schwartz has a positive outlook on the women's team and its progress this season.
"I am optimistic about how things are going. We are working on running as a team," Schwartz said.
In the next two weeks, Schwartz will be preparing his runners for the next meet at Minneapolis on Sept. 25.

Hometown player bumps Auburn past the Jayhawks

Jaunelle Hamilton's homecoming could not have gone better.
Hamilton, a Lawrence High School graduate and one of Auburn's most consistent team leaders, led her team to a 3-1 victory against the Kansas volleyball team Saturday, winning the Jayhawk Classic.
She returned to her hometown without skipping a beat.
"It was nice to be back," Hamilton said. "It was also nice to win. The crowd was loud, and a lot of my old friends, coaches and parents came out to watch me play."
Auburn started slow with a 15-7 loss before coming from behind in the last three matches.
Hamilton played an integral part in the victory, and she served the winning point in the second game when the team's comeback began.
"She is the foundation of this team," Auburn coach Kris Grunwald said. "She is a big part of the leadership on this young team. Any good thing you could say about a volleyball player is what she means to us."
Hamilton was named to the All Tournament team.
"I just tried to play my best."
Hamilton said. "We didn't really know what to expect when we came down here, but we knew we were going to play tough teams. I'm just glad I could help us win. It was nice."
When Hamilton made the decision to play volleyball at Auburn rather than Kansas, she wasn't sure if she would ever play in front of her home crowd.
However, experiencing life away from Lawrence was one of the main reasons she chose Auburn.
"I thought about going to KU." Hamilton said. "It was a close choice, but I wanted to get away from home and see something new."
Because Hamilton's parents were
born in Alabama and she still had family there, Auburn had the edge on other out-of-state schools.
Grunwald said that once he saw her play in the Junior Olympic Championships during her junior year of high school, he knew he wanted to recruit her.
"She had all of this raw skill, and when I saw her elbows go over the net with her huge hands, I knew she could work well with this team," Grunwald said. "She has been very fun to work with."
And Hamilton has fit well into Auburn's system.
She said she hoped to take her leadership ability and lead Auburn to the NCAA tournament this season.
"Today, we came out slow, but we worked hard and came back," Hamilton said. "We want to work hard and do the same this season, so we improve throughout the season and make it to the NCAA tournament."
Volleyball team lets leads slip away

kills from senior outside outside Mary Beth Albrecht. The Horned Frogs, however, won the next two games, 15-9 and 15-5, and captured the match.
"I guess (Texas Christian) felt like if they could get it to the fifth game, then they were in pretty good shape," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "And they were."
second game, 16-14, then took two more gut-wrenching losses to the Tigers, 15-13 and 16-14.
"We can't finish games," Bechard said after the Jayhawks let a 14-8 lead slip away in the fourth game. "That's what we're trying to discover. What are we doing that won't allow us to finish games?"
What happened Saturday afternoon was even more shocking for Kansas. The Jayhawks came out on fire against Auburn, cruising to a 15-7 first-game victory and then hustling to a 9-0 lead in the second game.
Then, almost on cue, the Jayhawks play dismantled. Kansas dropped that
That question might be answered in two words — service errors. The Jayhawks had 18 against Texas Christian and 22 against Auburn.
"That's just become mental," Bechard said. "Everybody's so cautious now about serving that they're not getting much done. It's disappointing because we're in the position to win all of those games, and it didn't happen."
There were bright spots for the team
— senior middle blocker Amanda Reves was named to her ninth-straight all-fourment team, and Myatt set a school record with 30 kills in the four-game match with Auburn. That was good enough to place Myatt on the all-tournament team as well.
But none of that seemed to matter to the Jayhawks, who, at least for one weekend, were inconsolable.
"We're going to take Sunday off and regroup," Myatt said. "Then we'll be ready to go Monday and start over."
The Jayhawks will play next at 7 p.m. Wednesday against Wichita State at the Horejsi Center.
Missouri Tigers pound Jayhawk soccer 4-0 in physical match

Kanson sportswriter
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri got what it wanted.
scored Missouri's second goal.
In a game marked by quick goals and a plethora of fouls, the Kansas women's soccer team lost 4-0 Friday afternoon at Missouri.
The Tigers, who were shut out 1-0 by Kansas last year, set out for revenge and accomplished their goal. Missouri did its damage early, scoring both of its first-half goals in the first 10 minutes. The Tigers' Nikki Thole scored first after she took a pass from Erin Grimsley and slid it into the lower left corner in the fifth minute. Five minutes later, Heather Buchieh
"We talked about starting the game ready to go." Kansas coach Mark Francis said. "This is the second time this has happened to us. Our focus mentally needs to be better when the whistle blows because it's an uphill battle otherwise."
SCORING SUMMARY
Junior defender Kylie Watts agreed.
"We've just got to be focused at the start of the whistle, and we'll be fine as long as we don't get into our little law." Watts said.
Missouri 4, Kansas 0. Missouri (Nikki Thole 2,
Heather Bucheit, Erin Grimley; shutout by
Jackie Adamec and Liz LaTour).
Records: Missouri 4-1, Kansas 2-3.
we don't get into our little low. Watts said.
Missouri came out firing again in the second half, and Thole netted her second goal of the game two minutes in. Following her goal, the Jayhawks dominated the ball for much of the game but were denied opportunities to score as they were held to six shots. Missouri's final goal came with four minutes remaining when Grismeis scored
on a penalty kick.
"I honestly felt like at times we were in the game," Francis said. "We had a good part of the possessions. We had a good percentage of the play, but the bottom line is they took their chances and they took them well."
Francis said he saw much room for improvement in his team.
"It was an eye opener for me at some certain positions, so in that sense it was good," Francis said. "It was good that it
happened now because the rest of our conference games are in October, so it gives us (time) to correct that."
The game had the look of a true border war as many players clashed and 38 total fouls were called. In addition to avenging last year's loss, the 'Tigers made sure the Jayhawks felt their wrath physically. Missouri set a team record for single-game total fouls, tallying 24 in the contest. On many occasions, Cynthia Dahle, Kylie Watts and Katie Lents found themselves being grabbed or thrown to the ground. Meghann Haven suffered the worst blow. While battling for a ball, she inadvertently was kicked in the side of the knee, resulting in what Francis believed to be a sprained knee. She did not return to the game.
"Every game is physical," Francis said.
"I don't think it makes any difference. In our conference, everybody's physical. You've just got to be ready for it. That's no big deal to us."
Kansas got its knocks in as well and picked up three yellow cards during the game, Francis, Watts and sophomore Natalie Hoovevel each garnered cards.
"They're always physical," Watts said.
"Every Big 12 game is going to be a physical challenge no matter what."
The physicality aside, the game boiled down to offense.
"I give a lot of credit to them," Francis said. "The game is all about scoring goals. You do whatever you want but if you don't finish you aren't going to win, and they definitely finished their chances."

Agassi nets fifth Grand Slam
Player's victory seals summer run
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Andre Agassi never lost his serve or his nerve, even when Todd Martin seemed to have him beat as he capped one of the greatest summers in tennis history yesterday by capturing his second U.S. Open.
Agassi came up with his most spectacular shots — none better than a lunging return from the court that broke Martin's serve and spirit — in a dominating fifth set to win 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 6-7 (2-7), 6-3, 6-2.
Agassi's fifth Grand Slam title ended a summer run that began with his surprising surge to the French Open championship and continued with his runner-up finish to Pete Sampras at Wimbledon. No man since Ivan Lendl in 1986 had gone to three straight Grand Slam finals in the same year.
No man had fought back to win the U.S. Open from a 2-1 deficit in sets since John Newcombe in
1973, but that's exactly what Agassi had to do against an inspired Martin playing one of the finest matches of his life.
Martin always had all the tools of a champion
— the big serve,
the sweet ground-strokes,
the heart of a fighter — and he almost became one at age 29.
I
After losing his first service and the first set, Martin went toe-to-toe with Agassi for the next two sets.
Andre Agassi: Has become the world's No. 1 player
staying with him through long rallies and clubbing him with aces to force a pair of tiebreakers that he won with unexpected ease.
But Agassi, who guaranteed himself the No. 1 ranking after beating Yevgeny Kafelnikov in the semifinals, responded the way the best player in the world should.
Agassi bore down on Martin's
serve early in the fourth set and broke him to change the tenor of the match. On one point in that game, Agassi almost knocked Martin out, literally, slamming an overhead from point-blank range that missed Martin's skull by inches.
Martin never recovered. Though he ran his ace total to 23 — 16 more than Agassi — he never could find a way to break Agassi's serve. When Agassi broke him again at the end of the fourth set, the last point on a forehand return that clipped the net cord and hopped over to handcuff Martin, the outcome seemed certain.
Agassi made it five games in a row when he won the first three in the final set, and he closed out the match by breaking Martin one more time.
"I'll tell you what, how can you ask for anything more than two Americans in the final of the U.S. Open playing a great five-set match?" Agassi told the crowd after accepting the trophy and the winner's check for $750,000.
"Win or lose, this is the greatest time of my life. I'll never forget New York right here."
Williams sister wins Open
Serena Williams finished the job that big sister Venus couldn't, beating Martina Hingis 6.3-7 (6-4) to capture the U.S. Open title on Saturday at age 17 in only her second year as a pro.
NEW YORK — The kid sister turned out to be the real champ.
The Associated Press
As graceful and quick as a gymnast, the powerfully built Williams put on a spectacular display of mature tennis with an all-court attack to become the first African-American woman to win a Grand Slam title since Althea Gibson in 1958.
"It's just too exciting to compute right now," Williams said.
“It’s really amazing for me to even have an opportunity to be compared to a player as great as Althea Gibson. One of her best friends told me she wanted to see another African American win a slam before her time is up. I'm so excited I had a chance to accomplish that while she's still alive.”
It was equally meaningful to Williams that her victory came in Arthur Ashe Stadium, named after the 1968 U.S. Open champion and the last African-American to win a prize — Wimbledon in 1975.
Moments after the match, Williams received a congratulatory phone call from President Clinton and daughter Chelsea from New Zealand.
"I thought for sure my day couldn't get any better," Williams said. "The next thing they told me is the president of the United States wanted to talk. I was, like, wow."
AFRICAN-AMERICAN GRAND SLAM CHAMPIONS
Men
Arthur Ashe (5) — Singles (3): Australian, 1970; Wimbledon, 1975; U.S., 1968; Doubles (2): Australia, 1977 (Uk.) French, 1971
Yannick Noah (2) --- Singles (1): French, 1983;
Doubles (1): French, 1984.
Women
Althea Gibson (11) — Singles (5): French, 1956; Wimbledon, 1957-58; U.S., 1957-58. Doubles (5): Australian, 1957; French, 1956; Wimbledon, 1956-58. Mixed (11): U.S., 1957
Venus Williams (3) — Doubles (1); French, 1999,
Mixed (2); Australia, 1998; French, 1998.
Zina Garrison (3) — Mixed (3): Australian, 1987; Wimbledon, 1988, 1990.
Chanda Rubin (1) — Doubles (1): Australian, 1996. Lori McNell (1) — Mixed (1): French, 1988.
Serena, who will move up in the rankings from No. 6 to No. 4, proved too much for Hingis to handle in the critical moments that made the difference in a brilliant match filled with feverish baseline rallies, speedy forays to the net and an array of lobs and drop shots.
Golf to tee off in Nebraska
By Doua Pacev
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas men's and women's golf teams open their season today at the Nebraska Invitational. The men have had good luck in Nebraska, while the women look to improve on their showing from last year.
"If we play well, we could win," men's coach Ross Randall said. "But you never know what you're going to do in your first tournament. Hopefully, we'll play solid golf."
Conrad Roberts, Wichita senior. "We've got a good team, and we're strong throughout all five players."
The men have a positive outlook on their chances to win but are not underestimating the competition.
Last year Kansas went to Nebraska for the Big 12 Conference championship and upset four top-25 teams. Oklahoma State, Texas, Nebraska and Oklahoma.
"Nebraska will get a lot of good teams to come and play at their tournament because of their reputation," said Jake Istnick, Tulsa, Okla., senior.
"I think we'll do fine," said
Senior Ryan Vermeer is a native of Omaha. Neb.
"It's a homecoming for him, so I think that he'll play a little better," Randall said.
One question that Randall had before the season started was if Brad Davis would be able to play. Davis fell two stories off a deck and landed on concrete last spring. He broke his heel in several places and also suffered three compression fractures in his back. Though he
has healed, both Davis and Randall aren't sure what to expect.
"I just hope to be able to make it around the course." Davis said.
On the women's side, this will be Nicole Hollingsworth's first tournament as coach of the Jayhawks.
"The Big 12 is a good conference," she said. "It's my first game as a Jayhawk, and I hope to do well."
Hollingsworth said she expected her top players to be senior Sue Tessary, Collinsville, Ill., senior, and Ashely Bishop, Frankin, Ind., junior.
"I expect them to do well," Hollingsworth said. "They're a one-two punch for us, like Batman and Robin."
Hollingsworth hoped the trip to Nebraska would give the young team much needed experience.

Chicago's new offense gives Chiefs a shock
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — The beginning was impressive. The middle was ugly. And the end? It doesn't get much better than that.
"My favorite offensive formation is taking a knee. I love that formation," said Dick Jauron, who won the battle of rookie coaches Sunday when his Chicago Bears hung on for a 20-17 victory against the Kansas City Chiefs.
These aren't the same Bears that Chicago has come to dread the last few years. Forget that boring, predictable NFC Central offense. Offensive coordinator Gary Crowton has the Bears looking like Western Athletes. Co-founder
a western Athletic team, with a wide-open offense
Shane Matthews threw for 245 yards and two touchdowns in his first NFL start. Curtis Ennis somersaulted into the end zone for his first career touchdown and gained
133 yards of total offense. Nine receivers caught balls as the Bears threw for 322 yards. Chicago scored on all four of its first-half possessions.
133 yards of total offense.
"I think we proved some people wrong today," Matthews said. "It's a long season and we've got a long way to go, but we've got the weapons."
But this wouldn't be a true Bears game without a serious breakdown. Elvis Grbac hit Derrick Alexander with an 86-yard touchdown reception to cut the Bears lead to 20-10 with 5:01 left in the third quarter.
CHIEFS
Glyn Melbourne gave the Chiefs another chance, fumbling the kickoff return. Robert Williams recovered it, and Kansas City had the ball at the Chicago 23. But Grbac threw to Andre Risen in the end zone even though Alexander was open, and Tom Carter broke up what would have been a touchdown.
The Bears got to the Kansas City 6 on their next possession, but as Matthews went back to throw, the ball slipped out of his hand, and Ronnie Edwards picked it up. He
rumbled 79 yards for the touchdown, cutting the Bears lead to 2017 with 12:24 left.
Chicago took advantage of the new instant replay, which returned to the NFL this season after an eight-year absence, claiming Matthews' arm was already going forward and it should have been an incomplete pass. Referees let the touchdown stand after reviewing the play. The play was later changed to an official sack.
The Chiefs got to the Chicago 41 and 47 on their next two posses
punt and ran out of downs. They were pinned to the 4-yard line on Todd Sauerbrun's 47-
yard punt on their last possession.
Grbac, who was 20-of-42 for 283 yards,
missed his last eight passes.
“It’s disappointing. That’s the only word I can put on it,” Grbac said. “We just didn’t make the play when we had to. When it came to crunch time, we couldn't get it done intensively.”
Matthews was 25-of-38 for 245 yards. Enis, playing in his first game since ripping up his knee last November, caught five passes for 69 yards, and rushed for another 64 yards.
"We believed in ourselves and our team, and that's all that matters." Enis said. "We're going to surprise people."
The Bears' high-octane offense has been a big topic of discussion ever since Jauron hired Crowton, the former Louisiana Tech coach, as his offensive coordinator.
"They play razzle-dazzle football," said Chiefs coach Gunther Cunningham, who also interviewed for the Bears' job. "But after you get used to it, once you see it on film, once a game's played like this, now you know what they're all about. It's not confusing."
Quarterback leads Ohio State to win
COLUMBUS. Ohio — There won't be a quarterback controversy at Ohio State this week.
The Associated Press
Steve Bellisari came off the bench and threw two touchdown passes. Also, he was on the field for five of Ohio State's six touchdowns as the 13th-ranked Buckeyes bounced back for a 42-20 victory against No. 14 UCLA on Saturday night.
Bellisari also was the Buckeyes' second-leading rusher with 50 yards on three third-down scrambles.
"No question he was the best quarterback on the field tonight," Ohio State coach John Cooper said. "I would imagine he'll be the starting quarterback after we look at the films."
Austin Moherman started for the Buckeyes (1-1) and played
well, but Bellisarl — awful in Ohio State's 23-12 loss to Miami two weeks ago — stole the show.
"I thought Bellisari hurt us running the football, and he threw a couple of deep balls that got us as well," UCLA coach Bob Toledo said.
Bellisari wasn't Ohio
Bellisari wasn't ON
State's only weapo
Michael Wiley rushed
for 119 yards and two
touchdowns and Ken-
Yon Rambo caught two
touchdown passes —
both from Bellisari.
Bellisari was 11-of-16 for 159 yards without an interception, while Moherman was 10-of-19 for 107 vards with one interception.
OHIO STATE
UCLA was playing without nine starters and four backups who received two-game suspensions for illegally obtaining and using handicapped-parking placards.
"No question not having our full team had an effect," Toledo said. "Our guys got tired and worn down at the end."
Both teams experimented with a quarterback platoon. Ohio State's worked and UCLA's didn't.
Moherman led the Buckeyes into Bruins territory on three straight
possessions. He completed three of five passes — one was dropped — for 51 yards on an 81-yard drive capped by Wiley's 3-yard sprint
around the right end.
After a UCLA punt, Cooper inserted Bellisari, who connected on three consecutive passes for 44 yards, including a 2-yard touchdown toss to Rambo.
Meanwhile, UCLA's offense sputtered after its quick start.
Toledo pulled Bennett after he wore "0f for 117 yards and UCLA had built a 10-1 lead on Chris Griffith's 35-yard field goal early in the second quarter. Bennett's replacement, Cory Paus, misfired on four of his six attempts and the Bruins were forced to punt on their next two possessions.
"We sat down with Drew and Cory before the game and they knew what the plan was." Toledo said. "Our plan was to do that in the first half and then see what happened at halftime and make the decision from there."
Bennett was reinserted and led UCLA to a touchdown at the outset of the third quarter with Freddie Mitchell going 33 yards on an endaround, which set up DeShaun Foster's 7-vard scoring run.
Then Ohio State scored twice in the span of 31/2 minutes and pulled away.

Fighting Irish botch chance for goal,win
The Associated Press
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.- Communication breakdown.
Notre Dame's backfield botched a third-and-goal call from the 1-yard line as time ran out, and the 16th-ranked Irish lost to No. 20 Purdue 28-23 on Saturday, only the second time in 14 tries that the Boilermakers have beaten Notre Dame.
"Once again, we may have squandered away some opportunities," said Notre Dame coach Bob Davie, whose squad lost 26-22 last week to Michigan when a last-minute drive came up short.
After Travis Dorsch kicked two fourth-quarter field goals to give Purdue (2-0) its first lead of the game, Jarious Jackson drove the Irish (1-2) to the 2-yard line with time running out.
Joyc Goodspeed was stopped on second-and-goal on the 1, and Notre Dame called a timeout to regroup. The Irish then lined up in a modified wishbone formation, with Jackson lined up in front of fullback Goodspeed and running backs Tony Driver and Tony Fisher.
An isolation running play was called, and Jackson stepped to the
line with a planned false check to throw off the defense. Instead, it confused the Notre Dame backs.
Jackson went left, and Purdue's penetration forced him backward, where he was dropped by Mike Rose for a 9-yard loss. Time expired before Jackson could get another play off, and Purdue players and fans spilled onto the field.
Purdue's
Purdue's last stand was one of the few stellar defensive showings as the teams combined for 826 yards.
N
The last-minute fireworks made up for a comedy of errors on both sides in the first half.
Two of Purdue's first three plays resulted in turnovers and led to a 10-0 Notre Dame lead.
The Boilermakers followed that by jumping offsides twice — one on fourth-and-inches — from inside their 15 before Jackson scored on a 1-yard run.
The Irish had a chance to score again at the end of the half, but stalled after penalties and mistakes.

Puerto Ricans accept Clinton's clemency offer
Daily Food Specials 23rd & Kasold·832-9600
Nationalists are welcomed home
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico—Elizam Escobar searched deeply into his past as he greeted friends and relatives whose faces had aged and voices had changed during the nearly two decades he'd been away in prison.
Joy and bewilderdment filled Escobar and six other Puerto Rican nationalists who came home to this Caribbean island last weekend. They were among 14 who had accepted a controversial clemency offer from President Clinton. Two more were to arrive later yesterday.
"This transition is going to take a lot of time" a somewhat weary Escobar said. "I feel a great happiness ... but this is a very different reality."
All had been imprisoned on sedition and weapons convictions stemming from their involvement in the Armed Forces of National
Liberation, a pro-independence group blamed for 130 bombings in the United States that killed six people and wounded dozens of others from 1974 to 1983.
As they returned home to a flurry of hugs and home-cooked meals, the former prisoners were able to forget, for the moment, the political firestorm surrounding their case.
Republican presidential contender Steve Forbes said Saturday that the releases amounted to a "terrorists-for-votes deal" to help Clinton's wife, Hillary, in her possible campaign to win a U.S. Senate seat from New York. He challenged Vice President Al Gore, also a presidential contender, to say where he stood on the issue.
In the middle-class suburb of Bayamon, Escobar tugged at the cheek of 1 1/2-year-old Anel Rios, brought to him by his cousin Elizam Rios.
However, the criticism continued unbated on the mainland.

News reports claim defector's book reveals Cold War-era spy agency secrets
The Associated Press
LONDON—A new book based on long-secret KGB archives makes a number of shocking Cold War-era claims — that the KGB planted rumors that the CIA assassinated John F. Kennedy and that J. Edgar Hoover was gay and that Soviet spies buried booby-trapped explosives in the United States and Europe, according to news reports.
The book, being published this month, also reveals that an 87-year-old British woman was a long-serving Soviet spy and that a former Scotland Yard officer served as a messenger for the Soviet spy agency in the 1970s.
The book is based on thousands of copies of KGB papers brought out of the Soviet Union by Vasili Tokrinik, an archivist for the Soviet intelligence service, when he defected to the West in 1992. Its contents were reported by The Sunday Times in London and a BBC television interview being broadcast on Sunday by CBS' 60 Minutes.
Mitrokhin, who reportedly copied thousands of pages from secret KGB files during a 12-year period and handed them to the West, said the agency forged documents to pin the blame for JFK's assassination on a CIA and right-wing conspiracy.
In its attempt to establish a link between Kennedy's assassination and the CIA, the KGB secretly bankrolled
one book published in America about the incident,
"Oswald: Assassin or Fallout." 60 Minutes reported.
The KGB also allegedly falsified a letter supposedly written by Lee Harvey Oswald to Howard Hunt, a former CIA officer. The letter looked so real that it even fooled Oswald's widow, the news program said.
KGB agents also reportedly mailed forged letters to major U.S. newspapers to support rumors that Hoover, then FBI director, was a homosexual.
Mitrokhin, a former KGB archive official, said he started copying the agency's secret documents in 1972, after growing disillusioned with the agency's crackdown on dissidents. He said he smuggled the documents out. hidden in his shoes and pockets.
The Times of London, sister newspaper of The Sunday Times, is serializing "The Mitrokhin Archive." It reported Saturday that a British woman, code-named Hola, had given the Soviets information important to the development of their nuclear weapons since the 1930s.
Hola — a.k.a. Melita Norwood of suburban Bexleyheath — reportedly had access to British atomic secrets through her office job at the British Non-Ferrous Metals Research Association, which was involved in metallurgical research associated with the bomb project, The Times said.

Rayford leads defense with hard hits, big plays
By Michael T. Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Defensive end Dion Rayford didn't take long on Saturday to make his big-screen debut.
On the last play of the first half in Kansas' 71-14 rout of California State Northridge, Northridge's Terrence Jones caught a pass and ran down the middle of the field to the Kansas 38-yard line.
There, Rayford put a hit on Jones that jarred the ball loose and left the crowd of 33,300 to watch the replay in awe on Memorial Stadium's new MegaVision board.
"That hit at the end of the first half really got the crowd in it," Kansas coach Terry Allen said. "It looked great on the video board."
While Allen was pleased with Rayford's Saturday night performance, he said that Rayford must learn not to let up during certain times of the game.
"Dion did a good job," Allen said. "He obviously had some big plays out there. We knew they were going to make some plays, and we had to make some big hits to set the tone."
While the hit and the ensuing replay energized the crowd going into halftime, Rayford's all-around strong performance on Saturday impressed Allen.
"Dion has to play every snap, but he can make a difference out there," Allen said
Rayford said the Jayhawk defense's dominating performance on Saturday gave the defense much-needed confidence following the 48-13 loss at Notre Dame.
"Now the guys are a little
more confident about their skills," Rayford said. "The second half is where we usually start to let up, but I don't see that happening this year."
Rayford's hit on Jones topped off a dominating performance by Rayford on Saturday night. Rayford also intercepted a pass, made two tackles for losses and delivered one quarterback sack.
"I was able to do some pretty nice things," Rayford said. "I would have liked to do more, but you can only do so much. We knew that Northridge was going to try to come out and run up on us, but we held our ground."
Holding their ground is exactly what Rayford said the defense must do next week when the Jayhawks travel to
Boulder, Colo., to take on the Colorado Buffaloes. Colorado features the reigning Big 12 Newcomer of the Year in quarterback Mike Moschetti, and Rayford knows he must come up with more big plays to keep Moschetti and the Buffaloes grounded.
"The guys are a little more confident about our skills. Now they're looking out for us, since we beat them last year," Rayford said. "They're not happy about the way they played last year, so I'm sure they have a grudge against us."

Rayford also said Colorado would be looking for revenge after last season's 33-17 loss to Kansas in Lawrence.
Childs shines in Kansas victory
By Mike Miller sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
The third time was the charm for Henri Childs.
Childs, a sophomore running back, had returned two punts in the first quarter. One was for 15 yards, and he caught the other after one bounce and was soon buried by California State Northridge players.
But the third time, late in the first quarter, everything happened just right. Instead of being tackled, Childs sprinted down the Kansas sideline for a 72-yard touchdown.
The high, 46-yard punt backed up Childs to the Kansas 14-yard line. He darted back two yards and sprinted to the sideline. A crack-back block by senior Chad Coellner wiped two Northridge defenders out of the picture — two defenders that probably had the best opportunity to tackle Childs.
"Chad's a guy that's instrumental for us on all of our special teams,"
said coach Terry Allen.
It was Coellner's block that probably sprung Childs, but it wasn't the only block that was needed.
During his sprint to the sideline, two more Matataders missed, and Childs cut to the sideline at full speed.
"I was going to a hole," Childs said. "That's all punnt returning is."
Blocks by senior Tim Bowers and junior Carl NeSmith allowed Childs to sprint down the Jayhawks' sideline untouched.
And just like that, Kansas led 17.0. Childs said it was probably the most cleanly executed punt return he'd ever had.
But, it wasn't the longest return of his career. A 79-yard return against Missouri last year was his other career punt return for a touchdown.
Child's return on Saturday was the 11th longest in school history.
After his punt return, the Jayhawks had no trouble scoring, effectively putting the game out of
reach.
Oddly enough, it was Childs who scored the next touchdown. Usually used in late-game situations when the game's outcome has been decided, Childs came out of the backfield and caught a 27-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Dylan Smith. It was the first career touchdown catch for Childs.
"Any opportunity I get to play, I try to make something happen," Childs said. "I just want to play football."
If Childs plays the rest of the season like he did Saturday, he could become a major factor in the Jayhawks' offensive scheme. He rushed for 46 yards on five carries and added three catches for 46 vards.
His 181 yards of total offense impressed Allen so much that he got the same ball.
"He did a nice job with pumt returning, and he'll be valuable to us in short-yardage situations," Allen said.

didn't stop Northridge from talking themselves up.
"They couldn't have gotten too worm down because they kept talking a lot," David Winbush, Kansas running back, said.
Regardless, the Jayhawks dominated from start to finish except for one aspect penalties.
"Even their coaches were talking a lot of noise."
penalties.
"We have to eliminate the penalties. We had way too many," Kansas coach Terry Allen said. "The holding penalties really frustrated me, but you've got to expect that when you play 75-80 guys."
Playing that many people was one of the benefits of playing Northridge. But the biggest benefit was smoothing out the offense.
"We were pretty efficient tonight," Zac Wegner, quarterback, said.
It was the established running game that allowed Smith to shine. Not only did he complete his first six passes, but his ability to scramble and elude rushers gave the Jayhawks an element they never had before.
"We ran the ball well and got the kinks out in the running game."
"He has an aspect I can't add. He can run," Wegner said.
Winbush was more vocal about Smith's abilities.
"He's unbelievable. The pocket breaks down, he scrambles, manages to stay behind the line of scrimmage and make plays," he said.
When Smith didn't stay behind the line on scrimmage to pass, he took off to run. He scrambled for one first down and picked up eight yards on another carry. The only thing he needed to work on was clock management.
"I think we had one drive that covered 60 yards and three time out," Allen said.
"But the fortunate thing was he was in it enough to look up at the clock and get the timeout."
Although the offense can't take a time-out every time it's needed in the future, Smith felt that Saturday was a preview of things to
come
The 353 rushing yards were not only a season high, but more than Kansas gained in any game last season. The rushing game also allowed the Jayhawks to balance their offense, passing the ball for 284 yards. It was the third highest total of total yards in school history, the most since 1991 against Missouri.
"If the offense gets clicking like it did tonight, we're going to be tough to stop."
"I think it's an indication of how good we are," Smith said.
Wide receiver Termaine Fulton had three catches for 74 yards Saturday, but left early in the second quarter with a high ankle sprain. Allen said he could miss anywhere from one to five weeks.
Winbush had the third 100-yard rushing game of his career Saturday, with 153 yards on 14 carries. He also had the first touchdown catch of his career with a 29 yard reception in the second quarter.
■ Wegner moved into seventh place on the school career passing yards list, eighth place on the career passing attempts list and tenth on the career passing completions list.
■ The safety in the third quarter by linebacker Tim Bowers was the first by a Kansas player since 1995.
The 71 points Saturday were the most since 1994 when Kansas beat Alabama-Birmingham 72-0. It was the third most points in school history.

Parking permits drop, but spaces still scarce

Parking permit sales have dipped this year for Daisy Hill, Alumni Place, and red permit lots. According to students, however, a parking shortage remains.
The problem is compounded by increased Yellow permit sales.
Rachel Kesselman/KANSAN
Parking Permits
Students parking at one of the 30 lots allocated to yellow parking permits have been finding it difficult to find a place to park.
Rick Lange, Leavenworth junior said that he drove to class on Tuesdays and Thursdays and had found it nearly impossible to find a parking space close to his classes if he didn't get to campus by 9:30 a.m.
"Now that they've opened up Lot 15 behind Memorial stadium I haven't had as much trouble finding a space," Lange said. "Tve heard other people say, though, as the day goes on parking just continues to get worse."
As of Sept. 7, the parking department had sold 6,407 yellow parking permits compared to 5,956 all of last year, an increase of 7.6 percent. Overall, the department has sold 11,242 permits so far this year compared to 11,662 last year, 420 less than were sold all of last year.
Donna Hultine, assistant parking director, said the parking department had sold more yellow parking permits than usual, but she said she was not sure why.
"I'm not sure if there are more students on campus than in years past or just more people wanting to drive to class," Hultine said. "We don't have a cap on how many permits we can sell, so this number will continue to grow a little."
Hultine said that some of the early parking problems could be contributed to construction.
"Lots or parts of lots have been lost due to the construction at Memorial stadium and Joseph R. Pearson Hall." Hultine said.
Holly Krebs, transportation coordinator,
said that Park and Ride had sold 420 permits,
out of 500 that the program made available this year. Last year, 300 permits were sold. The Park and Ride program, which costs $120 for the year, began last fall and allows students to park at the Lied Center and take a bus to campus.
Not all lots on campus are experiencing higher than usual numbers of drivers requesting permits. Hutine said that blue permits had only increased by 30 and that red and University housing permits had fallen.
Hultine said that the biggest decrease was on Daisy Hill. This year, 1,387 permits were sold compared with 1,671 last year — a 17 percent drop.

KU Web site updates look, allows easy access
By Clay McCuistion
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
After seven months in development, an overhailed design for the University of Kansas Web page made its debut at 9 a.m. yesterday.
The site, at www.ukans.edu, combines the previous gateway and KU Facts"pages into an integrated, freshly-designed layout. Until yesterday, visitors to the site needed to click an icon for the Lawrence campus before accessing information at the KU Facts site.
Julie Loats, web administrator for Academic Computing Services, redesigned the site.
"That original page ended up being a stumbling block," Loats said. "There was really no reason for them to be divided in the first place."
Changes to the site include an indexed list of KU web sites, easy access to departmental information and sections directed to specific groups — students, faculty, parents and visitors.
"This brings us much more in line with what other universities are doing." Loats said. "It's an attempt to organize the content in the best way for people to access it."
A prototype of the site was posted in February.
Loats said she received 500-700 feedback messages, commenting on the new
version of the site.
"The project has really evolved since the prototype went up in February." Loats said. "It was absolutely crucial to have that up for a few months."
The opening page of the site features a central image, which changes each time the page is loaded.
"The older version of KU Facts basically showed one picture," Loats said. "But there's so much more going on."
Within the next five days, new versions of the e-mail and address search will be unveiled at the site. In the next seven to 10 days, Loats will incorporate a new general search engine.
"To me, it's a tremendous improvement," said Cathy Smith, director of Academic Computing Services. "The way that page has been structured will allow real flexibility underneath it."
The addition of online admissions and enrollment also will be incorporated into the site within the next few years.
"I would hope that this thing changes within a year's time," Loats said.
Melissa Kelley, network administrator for University Relations, said she was glad the site had finally changed. The previous design had been in place since 1997.
"The old site was a little bit disorganized." Kelley said. "Things change so often in other departments it's hard to keep up."

Student technology fee pays off in high-tech campus upgrades

introduction.
The software and computer that Schlesener and other students use to practice testing people for hearing loss are new this year — one of several technological additions to the University of Kansas that were funded through a student technology fee of $1 per credit hour; implemented last year.
The technology fund generated about $600,000 from the student body in its first year, said Rich Givens, assistant provost. The Kansas Legislature provided additional funds on a two-to-one matching basis, bringing the total amount of funding to $1.8 million.

Schlesener said it was money well spent,
and that she was happy to pay the $14 the fee cost her this semester.
"Fourteen dollars so I can practice on this computer is a very good investment for me, and I'm not the only one who uses it," she said.
That $1.8 million was then split into thirds, Givens said. One-third went directly to the different schools — divided up based on how much money each school's students contributed to the fund, he said. Because the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has the largest enrollment, it received the highest portion of funding.
Givens and other administrators determined the fate of the second portion, which is being used for such projects as wiring buildings for Internet 2 access, he said.
Internet 2 is an upgrade of the Internet.
The final portion of the money was distributed on a project-by-project basis. A committee accepted applications last fall and decided to fund 31 projects across campus. Givens said some projects were completed before the beginning of the school year, some were in progress and some will be completed after remodeling.
One already completed is a microscope upgrade for the division of biological sciences.
Dean Stetler, director of undergraduate biological sciences, said the hundreds of students enrolled in undergraduate biology courses often were forced to use microscopes more than 60 years old.
"We were using scopes from the '30s and '40s." Stetler said. "We were constantly having to repair them and round up parts."
The division of biological sciences purchased about 50 new microscopes with the $60,000 grant it received from the technology

KU students wake and find naked man in their house
Three female KU students were surprised this weekend by a naked man in their house, Lawrence Police said.
At 2:45 a.m. Saturday, a female KU student woke and saw a naked white male wandering around the house in the 1200 block of Tennessee Street. She followed the man into another bedroom, where he had knelt beside her roommate's bed. The woman started yelling, waking her roommates and starting the man. He ran out the back door.
Police arrested the suspect minutes later at 13th and Tennessee streets. He was fully clothed at the time of arrest.
The suspect, charged with burglary and attempted sexual assault, is scheduled to make his first appearance in court at 3 p.m. Sept. 27
Lawrence Police are investigating the suspect's connection to similar crimes in the area.

Student punched, beaten with curtain rod at home
Two suspects remain in custody after assaulting a male KU student in his home in the 1000 block of Emery Road Sunday, Lawrence Police said.
At 1:50 a.m., the victim saw three men enter his apartment while he was outside on the patio. When he went inside to greet them, he was punched twice by one of the suspects. Two suspects ripped a curtain rod off the wall, pushed the victim onto the patio and hit him with the rod.
Two of the men were arrested later that morning by Lawrence police at 3:30 a.m. in the 300 block of West 13th Street. Both are charged with criminal trespassing and aggravated battery.

Brown Bear will not argue outdoor dining revocation
The Lawrence City Commission will hold a public hearing tonight on a proposal to revoke the Brown Bear Brewing Co.'s sidewalk dining license.
Ryan Rodenburg, co-owner of the Brown Bear, 729 Massachusetts St., said he expected the commission to revoke the license, and the brewery would not put up a fight.
"We're so glad to be back in business with our liquor license that the outside dining is not that big a deal." Rodenburg said.
The brewery lost its liquor license Aug. 20 when the city learned that the Brown Bear was not meeting the 55 percent food sale requirement for downtown drinking establishments.
The brewery owners' first appeal for
a new license Aug. 24 was denied by the city commission. The owners formed a new corporation, reapplied for a liquor license and presented the city commission with a new business plan Sept. 7.
The city commission voted 5-0 to give the brewery another chance to make the 55 percent food sale requirement.
Rodenburg said he wanted to reach the 70 percent mark, but that he was more concerned with getting the bulk of the business back to normal operations after the three weeks' closure.
A sidewalk dining license requires at least 70 percent food sales.

Protest of State Board evolution decision put off
A protest scheduled for today's State Board of Education meeting will not occur.
David Mitchell, president and founder of Students For Inclusive Responsible Science Testing, the rally's sponsor, said a lack of support from student and national organizations was the reason for the cancellation.
Mitchell said the Board's decision to remove evolution theory from state assessment tests warranted protest.
"Obviously, they're putting political motives in the way of students' educations," he said. "The image of Kansas as a progressive, forward-looking state has gone to waste."
wittchell said he was working to organize a larger rally for next month's Board meeting Oct. 12-1.3. He said Students FIRST was working to secure support from the National Center for Science Education and campus groups, such as Graduate Students of Anthropology and the University of Kansas chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.
“it’s kind of a disappointment that we weren’t able to have it now,” he said, “but there were just too many time constraints.”
Mitchell said Students FIRST would be vocal on the issue when the state legislature convenes in its next session in January.
"We'll try to be right at the front, taking the lead against the Board's stance," he said. "But we don't want to wait until January to address this. This issue needs to stay alive until the board rectifies its position."

PHILADELPHIA — A Pennsylvania company agreed Monday to plead guilty to illegally giving China technology that could help improve the accuracy of missiles.

Company pleads guilty to selling missile secrets
Orbit/FR, headquartered in Horsham, about 15 miles north of Philadelphia, planned to plead guilty in U.S. District Court to violating the Arms Export Control Act, according to papers filed in court Monday.
Orbit will be fined $600,000 and could be banned from exporting products for up to 10 years, U.S. Attorney Michael R. Stiles said. Charges against at least one company official are likely to follow, he said.
Orbit/FR had agreed to a $1 million deal with Chinese North Industries Corp., a major military systems manufacturer for the Chinese army.
The software and equipment sold to China were designed to measure the effectiveness of antennas in the nose cones of missiles. The system was capable of measuring accuracy within 10 feet across a distance of 10 miles, said Joe Alkus, a Customs Service supervisor.
No money changed hands. Although the Chinese got the technology, it is not fully operational. Government officials would not discuss whether any damage to American security was caused.
Judge denies Nichols' request for new trial
DENVER—A federal judge Monday refused to grant Terry Nichols a new trial in the Oklahoma bombing, rejecting arguments that Nicholas was unfairly denied the opportunity to follow up leads developed by the FBI.
"There are reasonable limits to the search for possible leads to evidence, and the defense requests exceeded those limits," U.S. District Judge Richard Matsch said. He said the defense failed to show prejudice from the failure of the government to produce these

"I paid $75 for a permit to park, and there's never any parking," Kearns said. "I finally wind up parking at the Lied Center or at a meter and get a ticket. Parking sucks."
Daisy Hill is not the only place where the number of parking permits sold decreased this year.
"Alumni Place, Jayhawker Towers, Oliver and GSP have all seen a slight decrease, but not as dramatic as in the Daisy Hill area," Hultine said.
"The parking department is looking into taking a proposal before the parking board to limit the number of parking permits sold for certain lots." Hultine said. "GSP, Alumni Place and the Towers are the places we'll be looking into to doing this."
Hultine said she hoped limiting the number of permits would alleviate the parking congestion at these lots. A final decision is still weeks away because they still do not have a full parking board selected, she said.

Union sales slow down; director blames location
By Amanda Kaschube
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The Kansas and Burge unions blamed a poor 1999 fiscal year on the decrease in student traffic because of the low number of classes held in the buildings, said Warner Ferguson, associate director of the unions.
Kansan Union Operation Costs
Rachel Kesselman/KANSAN
The Kansas and Burge unions released an annual report at the University of Kansas Memorial Corporation board of directors meeting last Saturday. The corporation oversees the operation of the unions.
Kansan Union Operation Costs
1998 1999
$763,082 $779,326
$2,143,947 $2,145,706
$8,6726 $106,132
$10,430,442 $9,778,644
$13,576,189 $12,996,846
Snack Bars Food Services Recreation KU Bookstores Total Operations
Ferguson said the directors had anticipated a loss during the 1999 year, which runs from July 1, 1998 to June 30, 1999.
The largest decline in sales came from the Kansas Union Bookstore textbook department, which were down one percent for the year. Sales were down $651,798 from last year, while expenses for the bookstore rose by $87,478.
"We knew that fiscal year 1999 would not be a good year," he said. "The whole operation is based on a high volume of activity. It takes longer to recover and then keep increasing volume when it decreases."
Ferguson speculated that online book sales and decreasing book sales nationally might have contributed to the drop.
KU merchandise sold by the unions experienced one of the largest declines, dropping by 20 percent. Overall, sales from the Kansas Union were down 4 percent. Burge Union sales were up 1.7 percent and merchandise sales at athletic events were down 40 percent.
Ferguson said another possible factor for decreasing sales was the location of the Union.
"The campus is moving south and west, and the Kansas Union is north and east," he said. "The new parking garage could bring more people over though."
The northern location also could be hurting food served at the Kansas Unions. Food services overall increased 0.1 percent, but sales in the Union Square, Hawk's Nest, Prairie Room and Burge Union were all down.
Ferguson said the decrease in union food services could be caused by an increase in traffic at Wescoe Terrace and the snack bars at Murphy Hall and Visual Arts.
Kelly Peterson, Vermillion,
S.D., junior, said she chose
where to eat based on her location
when she got hungry.
"Wesco is better located during classes," she said. "I've eaten at the Union if I've had a meeting there though."
However, not all sales in the unions have decreased. The Jaybowl saw an increase in sales by 13 percent led by a 38 percent increase in bowling.
unions, said the unions needed to recalibrate their services to see what students wanted from their campus.
David Mucci, director of
"We are going to try to do marketing surveys with consultants and KU classes," he said. "We need to find what best satisfies student and campus needs. If we do that, everything else serves itself."
Mucci said they would make 600 phone calls to students as well as conduct focus groups. Results from both would be in by November, he said.
"We are trying to find new solutions," he said. "Schools are in transition, we just need to find where we'll end up."
Ferguson said Mucci, who was named director this semester, was devoted to improving the services at the unions and attracting students.
"We are going to try to make them interested to come even though they don't have classes here," Ferguson said. "We are going to begin marketing it to the campus."

About 70 University of Kansas women are involved in a nationwide gynecological study testing a vaccine against a type of the Human Papillomavirus.
Students join STD-vaccine study
HPV is a virus that causes genital warts and cell changes that can lead to cancer. HPV-16, the variation of the virus being studied at Watkins Memorial Health Center, is one of the most common causes of cervical cancer in women.
"If this ends up being a successful vaccine it'll be a very important vaccine," said Henry Buck, Watkins head of gynecology. "The diseases due to this are very common."
The HPV-16 study, which is being conducted at 16 other universities around the nation, tested participants for the virus before the study began. In that testing, 20 percent of participants — women aged 16 to 23 years — were infected.
He said that a 1998 Rutgers University study had found that 60 percent of college women studied over a three-year period tested positive for HPV.
All of the universities are studying HPV-16, which is just one of more than 60 variations identified.
REQUIREMENTS FOR HPV-16 VACCINE STUDY
Healthy
Not pregnant
Unmarried
- Up to nine visits in three years required
Age 16 to 23
No previous diseases caused by HPV, such as dysplasia of the cervix or genital warts
Must agree to use an effective birth control method through seventh month of the study
- Must keep Watkins informed as to place of residence
Merck & Co., a pharmaceutical company based in New Jersey, is sponsoring the study in hopes of developing a vaccine against the virus.
"It's a big step towards figuring out controlling an STD," said Ginny Williams, HPV-16 study coordinator at Watkins.
Watkins is looking for about 50 more participants. Women involved in the study may experience flu-like symptoms but are at no risk of getting lesions directly from the vaccine. Students involved in the study can earn up to $1,000.
"We wouldn't be involved in the study if we thought it was dangerous." Buck said.
Half of the women involved in the study are injected with the vaccine and half are injected with a placebo. The vaccine contains a viruslike particle and not the actual virus, making it impossible to contract the disease from the vaccine.
Neither Watkins staff nor the participants know who was given the vaccine and who was given the placebo.
A participants is given immunizations for HPV-16 during the first visit and then two months and six months later. The women will then be tested for the virus at seven months and every six months thereafter. If a participant does not contract the disease, she will receive $850 after 30 months of the study. If a woman tests positive for HPV at the first testing or becomes positive, she will stay involved in the study for 36 months and will earn $1,000.
However, Buck said, women involved in the study also would be rewarded with the satisfaction of knowing they had helped prevent diseases caused by HPV-16.
"Someone who participates in this program knows they can do something to help others and possibly help themselves," Buck said.

Parking Department broke promise
The University of Kansas Parking Department has acted once again to further its reputation among students as a heartless bureaucracy with nothing better to do than mercilessly torment the average KU student.
Last Tuesday, residents of Watkins and Miller Scholarship Halls were informed that the 12 parking spaces allocated to them in the Blake Hall lot were being revoked. Residents of those halls watched the lot last year, determined that many of the spaces sat empty during the day, and presented a plan to the department that would allow scholarship hall students to use the lot. The department agreed, but construction has put extra pressure on an already strained situation.
Students who purchased $150 campus parking permits were treated unfairly
After receiving complaints from faculty members, the chair of the department of public administration and an e-mail from the Office of the Provost, the parking department decided to revoke the permits. So, residents will no longer be able to use the parking lot, and must return the permits.
While 12 parking spaces may not sound like much, they were quite valuable to the residents who paid the faculty rate of $150 each for the permits. These permits were also valuable as a safety measure for residents
who may not feel secure walking to and from the Alumni Place parking lots.
In the past, the parking department has had difficulty quelling student complaints about scarce parking. Parking officials have pointed out that the situation is tough for everyone on campus. However, that doesn't seem to be the case for faculty and staff who have the Office of the Provost in their corner.
The parking department acted reasonably when it allocated the spaces in the Blake Hall lot, but rescinding them after they had already been sold was a bad decision. At the least, the department owes these students an apology, and at the most it should return these spaces to the students who paid for them.

Prayer before high school game should not have been allowed
The decision to allow Texas high school student Marian Lynn Ward to pray before her school's football game was a poor one. This allowance not only infringed on others' religious preferences, but more importantly, may set a precedent for other similar situations.
Earlier this month, a controversy arose in Texas about whether a prayer could be said before a football game. The prayer was to be given by Ward, who had been elected by classmates to deliver inspirational remarks before her high school football team's game.
Richard Ownby, Santa Fe Independent School District superintendent had warned that any student violating an appeals court ruling banning pregame prayer would be disciplined. However, just hours before the
Publicly funded events should not allow any type of prayer
game, U.S. District Judge Sim Lake issued a temporary restraining order prohibiting the school district from punishing Ward if she lead the prayer. Ward then said the prayer at the game.
Ward was elected to represent her school. This means that although it was a voluntary speech, it was also one that was supposed to be inclusive for all of her school. While the football fans were not forced to participate in the prayer, they were forced to listen to it if they wished to attend the game. Religious speech has no place at public school-sponsored events.
Ward was able to pray, not just because of the issue of freedom of speech, but also because she was a caucasian, Christian cheerleader, whose father is a pastor. It is doubtful that if she had been a student who practiced a more "un-American" religion, that the court would have allowed her to preach any religious message.
Prayer before school football games should be seen as a scary second step towards the incorporation of religion in public schools. The first alarm came last month when the Kansas Board of Education decided that religion also had its place in the classroom teaching of evolution. We must realize that while religion has its place, it is not in the public schools of the United States.

Federal student aid equation doesn't add up
I have learned many life-altering lessons since my arrival at the University of Kansas more than a year ago. I have become increasingly aware of where my car is parked, gained a profound appreciation for foods that do not involve starch, and realized that, like a presidential campaign, a college education requires more money than brains. I also understand that, in order to survive as a fashionable female student, one must own a pair of black thong platform sandals.

But the most alarming lesson life away from home has dealt me is the fact that we are all governed by one and only one document: the FAFSA, or the Free Application for Funding Student Amenities.
This elaborate form I fill out in the winter is designed to fairly distribute federal
So where am I now? I'm struggling to finance my own college education, while my high school buddy who comes from an affluent family and a much more modest academic career drives his new car to Carruth-O'Leary Hall to pick up a refund check that could pay off the national debt.
Make me all the more bitter is the fact that, because I always have been on the lesser end of the money scale, I worked with extra vigor in high school to see that college would be a feasible goal by means of scholarships and federal aid. I graduated with a 3.98 grade point average, got a 30 on my ACT (that other piece of paper that affects the fate of the world) and was involved in pretty much everything except Future Homemakers of America.
The irony here is that this FAFSA thing, which basically has the power to dictate whether I will be able to afford food, goes back to the form that will govern our lives once we graduate: the W-2. Yes, the IRS already has wronged me, and I've never even filed a tax return.
Well, the only someone sending me a check is my employer. I've worked since I was about 2 1/2, but I've always been tax exempt. That's why someone else has been able to claim me. Clarified, all this means that I haven't qualified for federal financial aid for two years straight, although I am decidedly on my own and financially strapped.
Apparently the life I live and the life my paperwork reflected for so many years are two terribly different things. It's too bad that in the sea of people and paperwork that is the University, some people and paperwork must just slip through the cracks. Can't we find a way to more accurately reflect on federal aid applications the amount of help students get from home, rather than the amount the government thinks they ought to get?
I do have much to be thankful for, though. Those good grades paid off in the form of a few substantial scholarships, without which I would have little chance at higher education. And there's always hope for next year's FAFSA, when the only income listed will be my own. I have a feeling, though, that I'll never own a pair of black thong platform sandals.
money to those students whose parents have particularly shrewd accountants, or more often to provide financing, in the form of a refund check, for such necessities to college life as speed boats, narcotics and black thong platform sandals.
These conclusions are based on my first two fiscal years under the jurisdiction of the FAFSA equation: Estimated cost of education - Estimated contribution of leazal guardian = Need.
I have a problem with this formula, because a) my legal guardian has not been a major factor in the financing of my life since tight-rolling your jeans was cool and b) such a cut-and-dry approach to assessing "need" allows for many loopholes, one of which I have fallen right through.
See, the FAFSA equation doesn't take into account whether the legal guardian makes any kind of contribution at all. In my case and in many others, that legal guardian is remarried to a spouse of substantial income, which also is reflected on my application, thus giving me the federal shaft. This spouse of substantial income basically gets a bit of a tax break because of my legal status of dependent, and the world of financial aid assumes that someone is sending me a check every week.

European Union faces division and decision

I spent June in Europe, most of it in Belgium. Besides speaking French, eating poisoned chicken, drinking Pepsi (no Cokes were available) and spending my nights at a cheap hotel in downtown Brussels. I also took a class that focused on the momentum of European politics and economics.
United States don't know what this European Union is all about, but it's an important issue for all Americans because this alliance will have a lot of influence in the United States.
The European Union was created by the Treaty on European Union signed in February 1992, by France Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg. Later the original countries were joined by Denmark.
Cássio Furtado columnist opinion of kansan.com
NATIONAL CHAMPION
The primary challenge facing the European Union today is implementing the Euro, a new currency that will unify national currencies on the European continent starting in 2001. Europeans have strong national identities and accentuated rivalries (this is also associated with their currencies), so European citizens will need to have a lot of trust in the EU to accept the Euro. I don't think they have
Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, the United Kingdom, Austria, Sweden and Finland. All those countries met the requirements to be in the EU. The requirements are simple: The country must be a democracy, an open market economy, respectful of human rights,and in compliance with a set of requirements established by the EU.
European institutions were not trustworthy in the past. Most of the European countries had ridiculously low numbers of its citizens voting for the European Parliament elections in June. Polls have shown that British citizens don't want their country to be part of the EU.
Another challenge the EU faces is its dependence on the United States stock markets and on the U.S. economy as a whole. When there wasn't a unified currency (the Euro is already a reality for the stock markets), the European Central Banks used to buy German bonds. Now the U.S. 30-year bonds, according to Larry Neal, professor of economics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, have replaced those bonds.
that trust right now.
This creates some problems for European countries, and I think that the problem is the dependence on the political, social and economical situation of the United States. The United States can benefit from that because it will be able to negotiate better trade agreements with Europe. It's obvious that the capacity of the United States to pay these bonds is directly associated with how well the economy is going, and this is very much related to the trade with European nations.
I wouldn't hesitate for one second to affirm that the crucial thing to be done by European Union officials is to create a European identity, because Europeans don't view themselves as members of the same continent, but as citizens of their countries. That is because of many wars and conflicts among those nations, and these rivalries have been there for centuries. Unless this bond is created among these citizens, the EU will not work towards a common goal — that is, the growth and integration of Europe — but will generate more conflicts than ever and will weaken the continent as a whole.

Moses was a social, not religious leader
Thank you (Mike Loader) for some very good columns in the Kansan.
If I may I would like to point out a fact that you did not mention in your article about the KU seal. Back in the time of Moses he was not a religious leader, but a powerful social leader. Moses was not a preacher nor did he hold any of the religious offices of the time. He was not a religious
leader of the people, just as Dr. Martin Luther King was a social leader in the 60s, and he happened to be a preacher. Yet state offices all over America are closed for his birthday. Talk about separation of church and state! It is his social implications and victories we are celebrating, not his religious feats and sermons.

The same goes for Moses, one of the most powerful social leaders of our world's history. The story of Moses appears in more books than the Bible, but the ACLU is sometimes too narrow mind-

MIAMI — More than 1 million people were told to evacuate the Atlantic coast Monday and NASA all but abandoned Cape Canavaler as Hurricane Floyd — one of the most powerful storms ever to threaten the United States — charged toward Florida with potentially catastrophic 155 mph winds.
Floyd was much larger than Hurricane Andrew, which smashed into South Florida in 1992, causing $25 billion in damage, killing 26 people and leaving 160,000 homeless.
Forecasters said Floyd would brush past the Bahamas overnight and could hit land in the next couple of days between central Florida and South Carolina. They predicted it was capable of causing enormous damage.
"It it's scary. It's very scary," said Giffen, Jeb Bush, who declared a state of emergency Monday night. "Andrew hit Miami in the middle of the night and it was haunting. This is as strong and ... three times bigger."
The storm could be dangerous even if it does not come ashore. Floyd's hurricane-force winds — at least 74 mph — extended for 125 miles. Andrew's hurricane-force winds extended about 25 or 30 miles.

and aircraft were sent inland.
Officials said 1 million people were injured to evacuate in Florida.
South Carolina Gov. Jim Hodges ordered 600 National Guard troops and 500 state police to the coast to help in case an evacuation is ordered.
At Kennedy Space Center, which is just 9 feet above sea level, almost all of the 12,500 workers were leaving. A skeleton crew remained behind, but they, too, will evacuate if the wind is as fierce as predicted. That would be the first complete evacuation of the space center ever.

"This is probably the most serious threat we've had to the Georgia coast this century," said Gary McConnell, director of the Georgia Emergency Management Agency.

Only two Category 5 hurricanes have hit the United States since records have been kept: the 1935 Labor Day storm that slammed the Florida Keys, killing 423 people, and Hurricane Camille, which roared ashore in Mississippi in 1969, killing 256. Andrew was a Category 4.
Explosion rocks Russian capital; mayor blames Chechen bandits

About 300 rescue workers searched the rubble in a residential area of southern Moscow. The entire building crashed to the ground after the predawn explosion. Rescuers held out little hope of finding many survivors.
The blast came four day after an explosion shattered another apartment building in Moscow. The explosions were four miles apart, and both buildings were among thousands of brick apartment houses that line the outskirts of Moscow

Tickets for two local 311 shows go on sale today
By Emily Hughey writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
At this second, start-up bands across America are hoping for a break. Only a few will get it.
Often, it begins with wannabe rock stars dabbling with guitars in garages. They then grow into high school talent show stars. From there, they become champions of local music until one day, on the brink of economic demise, the spotlight ignites and stardom is activated.
Omaha-based 311 is one such band, and they're about to take the next step in the cycle — a return to their roots.
311 will stop in Lawrence Oct. 20
CARBONO HYDROGEN
and perform at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St. Four hundred tickets are available for the show, and they go on sale at 5 p.m. today at Ticketmaster outlets or at the Bottleneck.
Jacki Becker, music promoter for Pipeline Productions, said performances at Liberty Hall, the Bottleneck and Jayhawk Music Festival helped launch 311 from underground to mainstream about five years ago. Although they haven't played in Lawrence for three years, she said they called Pipeline and requested to add Lawrence to their tour schedule.
"The band called. They really like Lawrence, and they wanted to come back." Becker said.
She said she thought 311 felt connected to Lawrence because the band remembered its roots.
"With 311, it's history, and the guys have never forgotten where they came from," Becker said.
Jean Dykstra, Overland Park senior, was one of 311's early fans.
"They just want to give back to the people who helped them get where they are."
"I've been to a bunch of shows," said Dykstra, who attended a 311 show at Liberty Hall four years ago. "I liked their music, and it was open to all ages. Their music was so different. They mixed dance and guitar, and I liked the beats."
Madinah Hazim, Topeka senior, said she had seen the band two times, once at Jayhawk Music Festival and once at Sandstone Amphitheater.
"I remember when I was at Jayhawk Music Festival in 1995. It was crazy," Hazim said. "People

started pushing everyone to the front and the fence broke."
Dykstra said although she hadn't listened to the band as much lately, she might go to the show in October.
"I would like to go," Dykstra said.
"But I don't know what happened to them. They just kind of faded away."
However, with a new record out,
Becker said 311 promised to play a
mix of old and new music for three
hours. Becker said she hoped the
show would sell out faster than any

Good Morning America show gives Times Square a peek
ABC opens studio as morning show competition heats
The Associated Press
NEW YORK— ABC's Good Morning America team christened its flashy new Times Square studio yesterday — with competitors Katie Couric and Matt Lauer looking over their shoulder, figuratively speaking.
It was the first skirmish in morning television's window wars. By Thanksgiving, ABC, CBS and NBC all will have storefront studios in Manhattan where viewers can peer in at the live morning news shows.
With 2.3 million lights on a facade juitting 20 feet into Times Square, ABC's new studio certainly fits into the famous crossroads. The ground floor of the two-story studio is built like a replica of a New York City subway station.
NBC's competing "Today" show, morning TV's dominant program, had a street-level windowed studio in the 1950s and revived the tradition in 1994.
Yesterday morning, it mischievously beamed its program from a giant Astrovision screen a block away from ABC's studio, in full view of Good Morning America and its fans. The screen showed host Couric batting tennis balls with U.S. Open champion Serena Williams, who traveled seven blocks for an interview with GMA's Diane Sawyer less than an hour later.
"Any sane human being is asleep at this hour," Charles Gibson, Sawyer's Good Morning America co-host, said to some of the nearly 200 people gathered on the sidewalk to watch the opening.
Fans who woke up much earlier to get there gave the new studio a thumbs-up.
"It's very glitty," said Dennis Harrison of Lakeland, Fla. "The facade is just unbelievable. People
will feel more a part of the show." The subway set — minus the authentic grime — actually conveyed a warm, homey feel, one onlooker said.
"It almost looks like New Orleans or Mobile," said Rick Pensa of Kennesaw, Ga. "It's a quiet, easy look."
The bystanders were so preoccupied with the new Good Morning America look that they didn't notice Victoria's Secret model Stephanie Seymour prancing across the street toward them, her hair in curlers. She narrated a fashion show in the program's second hour.
New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, bringing a police marching band that played On Broadway, showed up for a ribbon cutting.
"We love you," someone shouted from the sidewalk, as Giuliani beamed.
"We hate you," another bystander shouted, a more traditional New York greeting.
Stigmata makes scary appearance
Supernatural film manifests first in weekly earnings
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES—In a scary battle among three fearful competitors, Stigmata scared up more movie goers during the weekend by beating out the five-week reigning champion The Sixth Sense.
Stigmata, featuring Patricia Arquette as a hairdresser who manifests the wounds of Christ, and Gabriel Byrne as a priest sent to investigate, earned $19.3 million in its box office debut, while The Sixth Sense took in $17 million.
Stir of Echos came in third with $6.2 million. Its star, Kevin Bacon, goes on a supernatural journey after being hypnotized. All three films helped boost the weekend tally toward abnormal heights, according to estimates released Sunday by Exhibitor Relations Co. Inc.
the summer movie season have seen a drop in box office receipts. However, this weekend's ticket sales were 37 percent ahead of the same weekend last year, said Robert Buckbaum, an analyst at Reel Source, Inc.
"The horror genre rejuvenated the marketplace. The opening films came at the perfect time when the genre is just scorching." he said.
Generally, the months after
Even though The Sixth Sense dropped to No. 2 in its sixth week, it still garnered a respectable turnout with the help of repeat business, said Chuck Viane, head of distribution at Buena Vista. The movie stars Bruce Willis as a therapist who helps a boy who communicates with ghosts.
"I think the end is so satisfying and so surprising that people walk out of the theater and just can't wait to see it again," he said.
With Stigmata, the struggling distributor MGM had two movies in the top 10 as The Thomas Crown Affair tied for sixth place, earning $2.9 million
ESTIMATED GROSSES
1. Stigmata, $19.3
2. The Sixth Sense, $17.0
3. Stir of Echoes, $6.2
4. Runaway Bride, $3.9
5. Bowhinger, $3.7
6. The 13th Warrior, $2.9
tie. The Thomas Crown Affair, $2.9
8. Mickey Blue Eyes, $2.3
9. Chill Factor, $1.9
10. The Blair Witch Project, $1.6
Estimates are for Friday through Sunday at North American theaters. Figures are in millions.
in its sixth week
"It's been a long time since MGM has had two movies in the top 10. We're very pleased," said Larry Gleason, president of worldwide distribution. "We're back again as a serious contender."
The only other new movie to open in wide release, *Love Stinks*, starring Tyra Banks in a story about dumping the one you love, didn't make the top 10. Opening in limited release, *Minus Man*, a mystery about a likable drifter who disappears, earned a per screen average of $8,000.

Too many scores tire out flagman
By Mike Miller sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
For once, Kris Nightengale was glad Kansas didn't score.
A member of the Kansas spirit squad, the Sublette junior takes turns with the rest of the male members of the team running the Kansas flag around the field after the football team scores.
They take turns because during high-scoring games, the flag — which weighs about 30 pounds with the pole — becomes too heavy for one person to run after every score.
When Nightengale's partner broke her foot during a stunt before the game, he did the noble thing and offered to run the flag by himself since he didn't have to do stunts between scores.
"He thought he'd be all right," said Lisa Patterson, Olathe sophomore and Nightengale's partner.
"But he didn't know we'd score 70 points." Nightengale says that running the quarter-mile track isn't too bad, except when the Jayhawks score a lot and score often. They did both Saturday during a 71-14 victory.
By the end of the game, Nightengale ran around the track 10 times—more than two miles—carrying the flag the whole time.
"We started scoring and we never quit scoring." Nightengale said.
It got to the point where Nightengale was running a lap about every 10 minutes. But the worst came during one stretch of the third quarter. Kansas scored four times in a span of five and a half minutes.
"After we scored that safety, it just started wearing me out," he said. "I thought I was going to pass out."
He started running slower and slower
after each score. The flag started to droop a bit. Nightengale started cutting corners and ran in front of the goalpost. Then the crowd got into it.
They started cheering when he ran down the student side of the stadium — the homestretch of each lap — and by the time he was on his sixth lap, Nightengale was sucking wind.
"It was crazy when I was going around. Everyone was cheering and stuff," he said. "It really kept me goering after a while."
His stamina amazed the rest of the squad — but so did his stubbornness.
"He just kept running—that's all he did the whole time," said spirit squad member Tara Steiner, Stilwell sophomore. "I would've taken turns. That thing's ungodly heavy."
Nightengale stuck with it, though. He said he has had trouble with the flag before, and he didn't want to quit.
"It came off, and the crowd went nuts." Nightengale said. "So I went and picked up my flag and sulked back."
This time, he pushed through the adversity — and learned to appreciate defensive battles in the process.
"It started wearing me out. I slept well that night," he said.
Nightengale said he was thankful that, with seconds to go and Kansas threatening to score again, Jayhawk coach Terry Allen chose not to put more points on the board.
"But I still haven't thanked Terry for not scoring that last touchdown."

Forward driven by strong work ethic

A strong love of basketball and an intense work ethic inspire Kansas forward Brooke Reves to spend her summers in the gym instead of at the beach or in front of the television.
NBA players, including Bobby Jackson of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
For the previous two summers, she has sought the help of a personal trainer, John Stout. A professional, Stout has trained
Reves, her sister Amanda who plays volleyball at Kansas and her close friend Tasha Campbell work with Stout weight training as well as doing drills that help perfect their basketball skills.
"I met her last year through a friend, and once I started training her, I fell in love with her," Stout said. "She did everything I asked of her. Professional athletes tend to be stubborn and won't always listen,
but Brooke had this attitude that she just wanted to get better."
The workout began every day at 6 a.m. — when most people are still in bed hitting the snooze bar — with weight training.
The average person sleeps until 10 a.m. and does not work out until noon," Stout said. "But, like I told the girls, we don't want to be average. We are not working to be average."
Reves said that the most important asset she gained through the training was
endurance.
"When I was tired from working for a long time, we worked on focus and shooting," Reves said. "It's important to maintain your level of skill no matter how tired you are. We worked on techniques that I can use at the end of the game."

Coach Francis changes lineup wants to see team increase focus
The 1998 Kansas soccer team finished last in the Big 12 Conference, but after three conference games, its record stood at a respectable 1-1-1.
The Jayhawks occupied the middle of the pack at that point, but they lost their last seven Big 12 matches.

This year has not brought better news. After two Big 12 games, Kansas, 2-3, 0-2 in the Big 12, is already on the outside looking in at one of the eight spots in November's Big 12 tournament in San Antonio.
Early frustration hit the Jayhawks after a 4-0 setback at Missouri last Friday, their worst loss since a 6-0 loss at Nebraska on Oct. 5, 1997.
"We're always thinking we have a different team each
"It's only two games, and we have four games before conference play starts again, so we have a lot of time to improve and be prepared for the conference games."

year," junior midfielder Katie Lents said. "Last year we lost 10 to Colorado, and this year we lost to them 2-1, but we have a better team (this year).
Coach Mark Francis said that he was making changes to the starting lineup, a lineup that still doesn't include Hilla Rantala, the Jayhawks highly touted forward from Finland, who is still out because of an ankle injury.
"We're not getting the job done in a couple of areas," Francis said. "Not having Hilla has hurt us. Not only does she finish well, but she creates. Her runs are so intelligent and the other forwards learn from playing with her.
"She's definitely a missing piece of the pie."
Sophomore Natalie Hoogveld will make one of the changes in the lineup. Yesterday, she made the switch from defender back to forward. Francis said that the Jayhawks needed more punch at forward and that Hoogveld had the tools to play
"I'm kind of excited because that's my original position," Hoogveld said. "I'm not sure if I'll stay there, but I know we're trying to find some chemistry up top. I'll do what I can."
Despite the unpredictable playing level, Kansas' number of goals has been steady. The Jayhawks have tallied nine goals in five games, half of their total from the 1998 season.
Lents said that the problem has been that Kansas wasn't mentally prepared at the beginning of many of its games.
that position.
"We were down 2-0 to Missouri in the first 10 minutes," she said. "That can be really frustrating. All of the players need to find what gets them focused before the game. That way we are focused from the beginning, and we don't have to play catch-up."
"We will sort out these problems in the next four or five games," he said. "But when October comes, we need to win."
Francis agreed. She said Missouri would punish any team that made mistakes. But he said he wouldn't push the panic button.
It's not hypocrisy fat cats should just drink up
As a full-fledged Jayhawk and a sportswriter, I am ashamed of myself.
After a weekend of troubled introspection, I've decided to reveal one of my dirty little secrets.
I'm what's known in KU vernacular as L.T. (that's Lawrence Trash, and it's not one of my secrets).
Here's the dirty little secret part after nearly 24 years of living in Lawrence (four of those as an undergraduate and another one as a graduate student at KU) I can count the number of Kansas football games I've attended on one hand.
So I've decided to turn it around.
This year I vow to attend every single home game through rain, snow or even an avalanche of homework.
I'm weary of making any predictions on how the team will fare this season, but the football program is better than ever.
Lucky for me, I picked the perfect season to hop on the football bandwagon.
Memorial Stadium feels brand new after the impressive additions of the scholarship suites, press box and MegaVision video board.
1975
Say what you will about the cost of the scholarship suites or what goes on inside, they look awesome and filled me with a sense of pride. They are a stunning symbol of KU's commitment to being a first-rate football school.
Derek Prater

mail@kansan.com
The video board is so good that I found myself forgetting to watch the action on the field. I ended up
like a spectator at the U.S. Open, my head turning back and forth from the field to the board like it was following a tennis ball.
Tailgating before Saturday's game, I got caught up in the football atmosphere. The weather was beautiful, kids were tossing football outside the stadium, and I had developed a nice, light alcohol buzz.
Please don't tell the police, but my friends and I managed to sneak a few beers in the parking lot behind the video board. It was surprisingly easy, and it brings me to the big stadium controversy — alcohol.
Watching football and drinking alcohol go hand in hand. Alcohol sales would certainly boost attendance at games (Saturday's attendance was a rather mediocre 33,300).
Sure, Korb Maxwell and all the other self-righteous political types cry hypocrisy because the fat cats in the scholarship suites get to drink while the average-Joe fan must go without.
But the fact is that it's not really hypocritical. Hypocrisy is when someone professes something that they don't believe (I looked it up).
That said, I understand the University administration's position and tend to agree.
The administration isn't necessarily saying that drinking is bad and no one should do it. It just doesn't want to deal with having thousands of drunk, immature and probably underage students at a University event.
Equating drinking in the scholarship suites to drinking in the stands is like comparing the effect of a six-pack to that of a keg.
There's little worry that fights or vandalism is going to be fueled by alcohol in the scholarship suites. Those people pay big bucks to watch the game in comfort.
And anyway, we live in the real world here, and those big bucks are paying for an improving football program that will start to draw bigger crowds on the merits of its play.
If you ask me, we should be stocking their fridges with beer.

Watson bogeys senior tour debut
WELLY ABOUT
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Tom Watson's Senior PGA Tour debut was the focus before the Comfort Classic. Gil Morgan's return to the winner's circle turned out to be the story.
Morgan, a winner of six tournments each of the last two years, won his first official event of the year Sunday with a two-shot victory against Ed Dougherty at the Brickyard Crossing course.
Watson, one of five players to share the first-round lead, was never a factor in the final round of his first senior tournament.
Morgan, who was one shot behind leader Mike McCullough entering the final round, used strong iron play in swirling winds for a 3-under 69 that left him at 201 for 54 holes.
"On days like today, it takes a lot of ball control to stay on top of the conditions." Morgan said.
Morgan birdied the first two
holes to take the lead and sealed matters with a scrambling par 5 on No.12. He recovered from a bad approach shot by making a 10-foot putt. McCullough birdied the hole and could have climbed within one shot had Morgan not made his putt.
"That could have been a big swap there, Morgan said. "That probably turned it around."
Morgan didn't have a bogy until the par-4 15th, and by then, no one was close enough to challenge.
Dougherty closed with a 69. Tom Jenkins finished another shot back after a final-round 71.
McCullough, who lost his lead to Morgan's fast start, stayed close until finishing with a double bogey and bogey. He shot a 74 and finished in a fourth-place tie at 205 with J.C. Snead, who had a 67, and Walter Hall, who had a 68.
Watson shot a 3-over 75 Sunday and finished nine shots behind Morgan.
"I'm disappointed and embarrassed at how I played today," said Watson, who turned the 50 on Sept. 4, three days after getting married for the second time. "I did what I wanted to do as far as my life is concerned, but I don't know what else I would have done."
While it's true that Arnold Palmer (1800), Gary Player (1985) and Jack Nicklaus (1990) won their senior debuts, three notable players did not. Lee Trevino (1989) was seventh in his first outing, Raymond Floyd (1992) was sixth, and Hale Irwin (1995). was fourth, Irwin, who did not compete this week, has become the senior tour's top player.
Watson wasn't alone. In contrast to the first two days, where sub-70 rounds were the norm, just nine players broke 70 Sunday, and one one finished better than Joe Inman, whose 67 helped him tie for seventh at 206.
"We have a great winner," said McCullough, who shot a course record-62 Saturday.

Ram makes strong debut
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIIS — When St. Louis Rams center Mike Gruttadauria was at Central Florida and the quarterback went down, he just knew the team was in big trouble.
He got exactly the opposite feeling from untested Rams quaterback Kurt Warner, who threw for 309 yards and three touchdowns in his first career start Sunday.
"The second-teamer came in and he was a freshman and he just was tripping over his words," Gruttadauria said. "Kurt, he comes in like he's been running this offense and we don't have anything to worry about. Business as usual."
Warner led NFL Europe, which has a 10-game season, with 2,101 yards passing and 15 touchdowns for the Amsterdam Admirals in 1998. Before that, he amassed 10,164 yards and 183 touchdowns in three seasons for the Iowa Barnstormers of the Arena Football League. Before that, he
was the Gateway Conference player of the year at Northern Iowa.
But before this season he had thrown only 11 NFL passes, in a mop-up role in last year's finale, and he got only one preseason start to get ready after Trent Green went out with a season-end knee surgery.
After the opener, he's not such an unknown anymore. Warner got a game ball and tears of joy from coach Dick Vermeil, whose gamble not to sign a veteran backup before training camp seems to have paid off.
"His overall composure and awareness in all phases of what he was doing was far better than anybody could expect." Vermelh said yesterday. "There are a lot of quarterbacks that were first-round picks that have been given all the opportunities, all the coaching, all the money, all the everything, and they're on their third team — and they're still going to fail.
And that humility. The first thing Warner said to his teammates after the game was an apology of sorts. He told them he'd get better.
"Because they don't have that composure, that poise under pressure."
"I'm not going to read too much into this one because I know I made some mistakes out there," said Warner, who was intercepted twice — one was not his fault — and lost a fumble. "But it does give you a lot of confidence to go out and get a victory, and to make some plays. I always believed I could be here and that I could do this."
Warner, 28, admitted to a few anxious moments after Green was injured Aug. 28 and the job fell into his lap. He said recently he's been waking up in the middle of the night and thinking about what he'd do on third-and-five with the blitz coming.
He said the anxiety vanished the night before, and take it from Gruttadauria, the hands that reached down for the ball were not shaking at any time.
"He has that innate confidence that guys just respect," he said.

But his arm didn't present the fear factor Elway's did. Late in the first half, for example, Griese underthrew a wide-open McCaffrey, who had to come back for the ball and dropped it.
This allowed Miami to play eight men close to the line of scrimmage to shut down Terrell Davis, who finished with 61 yards on 19 carries.
Griese started off like another Elway, hitting McCaffrey between Brock Marion and Shawn Wooden for a 61-yard score in the first series of the game.
The Broncos held their 7-1 lead into the second quarter and were about to go ahead 10-0, but Lorenzo Bromell blocked Jason Elam's 44-yard field goal attempt and Terrell Buckley returned it 43 yards to the Denver 36. Four plays later, Abdul-Jabbar took it into the end zone to tie the score.

Boxer remains in critical condition
The Associated Press
NORTH KANSAS CITY, Mo. Boxer Randie Carver underwent brain surgery and remained in critical condition yesterday after being knocked out during a match at Harrah's North Kansas City Casino.
The surgery was completed late Sunday. Carver, 25, of Kansas City, Mo., was knocked out in the 10th round of a scheduled 12-round bout with Kabary Salem of Brooklyn, N.Y.
Carver's family has requested that no other information be released on his condition, said
Kim Shopper, a spokeswoman for North Kansas City Hospital, Monday.
Carver, who billed himself as "the Natural," is a former Golden Gloves champion, and he won the North American Boxing Federation super middleweight championship at the casino last year. He brought a 23-0-1 record into Sunday night's championship fight, which was televised on the Fox Sports Net.
Carver, who was repeatedly head-butted in the early rounds, fell sluggishly to the canvas in the 10th round after taking an overhand right and a straight left from
He tried on four occasions to rise, but he couldn't get to his knees, let alone his feet.
Salem.
"He starts wobbling, he falls, he tries to get back up and he can't," said Pete Young, who watched the bout at ringside. "He rolls and he's not strong enough to even get back to his feet. He falls back down to the canvas, and then the eight-count was over and he stayed down."
After referee Ross Strada ruled a knockout, physician Michael Popa rushed into the ring. Carver's eyes appeared to go back in his head, and he lost consciousness.
Paramedics gave Carver oxygen, put a breathing tube in his mouth and inserted an IV. They worked on him for close to 20 minutes before rushing him to the hospital. Carver never appeared to regain consciousness.
Many members of Carver's family rushed to ringside in tears, and officials had to restrain some who tried to get in the ring.
Trainer George Smith, who said he thought of Carver a son, was upset at the number of times Salem head-butted Carver. In the second round, Carver had a cut in the corner of his right eye and one
under his left eye. Strada warned Salem twice but ruled the head butts accidental.
"He got head-butted more than he should have," Smith said. "But he seemed fine and responsive. He reacted to my statements."
In the eighth round, Carver looked noticeably tired and had a hard time getting off the ropes when Salem pushed him.
"He looked tired, he was dry, and he wasn't sweating a lot," said Poppa, the physician. "It was a wrestling match, but when I checked his eyes, he looked good, and the cuts were superficial."
America's pastime yet to score big in Africa
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — It was the second inning, and Al Brown was standing on the edge of the baseball field, screaming in frustration.
The Associated Press
The coach's unpolished team from the African kingdom of Lesotho lost to South Africa 43-0 two days earlier, and another big defeat was looming against Ghana. A Lesotho player scooped up a grounder and threw it to the first baseman, who dropped the ball.
Such is baseball in Africa
Yes, Baseball. In Africa.
It may seem an unusual combination of sport and locale, but baseball is indeed being introduced to the continent — and it's being played
for the first time at the Seventh All-Africa Games, which opened Thursday in Johannesburg. Of the S2 African nations competing in the games, eight fielded baseball teams.
petting in the games, eight netter back rebounds.
The inaugural game was South Africa's win against Lesotho. The officials were still talking about it Saturday.
"A Lesotho player hit a triple but was so excited he missed touching first base," recalled Gustavo Rodriguez, an American who normally umpires Pac-10 baseball.
The Lesotho player was called out.
A few dozen fans and people just curious about the strange game huddled in the stands at a community sports complex in the mostly white suburb of Randburg.
The announcer explains the umpire's signals:
"The left hand shows the number of balls, the
right shows the number of strikes. Between innings, he plays a mix of African jazz and rock.
Ghana's team is coached by two Japanese men. One player hits a line drive to Lesotho's pitcher. He miraculously snares the ball in his glove — then drops it.
"You can't do that!" Brown yelled. "We're beating ourselves!"
A big sigh followed
Brown was sent by the International Baseball Association to Lesotho in 1995 to develop the sport there. He returned twice, and then was hired to coach the national team at the All-Africa Games.
Lesotho started putting it together in the third inning. Two players scored on two passed balls. Three players followed with walks, and another batter scored after being hit on the
arm.
By the end of the inning, Lesotho added 11 runs to make it 15-2.
"It feels good now, but you don't know how long it's gonna last," Brown said.
Ghana's George Antwi then hit a grounder to third base. The Lesotho player bobbled the ball and fell to the ground. Ghana's next batter walked, then Mohamed Shariff homered to make it 15-5.
Dropped balls, missed throws and other mistakes marked the last innings. Before his team headed to the bus for the trip to the athletes' village. Brown predicted there would be a baseball explosion in Africa.
Then he thought about it some more.
"It's gonna take a while. It ain't gonna happen overnight," he said.

Brewers' park will not be ready for next season
The Associated Press
The board overseeing the project voted today to approve a new construction schedule. The target date for Miller Park to be completed is March 2001.
MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Brewers' new stadium will not open until April 2001 because of an accident that killed three workers at the site this summer.
"It was very difficult to accept," said Michael Duckett, the board's executive director. "We tried exhaustive ways to change the answer, and it just couldn't be done."
The April 2001 opening is in line with recommendations from the project's lead construction firm. The ballpark had been scheduled to be ready for opening day next season.
The construction firm, Huber, Hunt and Nichols, said in a report to the stadium board that it would take 12,000 people working 58 hours each a week for 42 weeks to open immediately after the All-Star break in 2000.
"That's not safe, nor is it practical. It just can't happen," said Frank Busalacchi, the chairman of the board's construction committee.
The Brewers had conceded last week that the stadium would not open at the start of next season.

Big 12 football dominates foes
The Associated Press
Outpassing, outrushing and outblitzing most of their opponents this weekend. Big 12 Conference members outscoored the opposition by a whopping 300 points.
But many coaches were offering advice and condolences to Baylor coach Kevin Steele, whose team could have beaten UNLV Saturday by taking a knee late in the fourth quarter. Instead, the Bears ran a play and fumbled, allowing UNLV to return the loose ball for a touchdown and steal the game. 27-24.
"It was a mistake, and I regret it." Steele said of the last play. "Everybody wants to know, 'What where you thinking?' Well, we were trying to create a situation where we're pushing the offense towards its potential. The kids wanted to score. We had been moving the football. We are trying to create a mental toughness that gives our players the edge to finish the job. That having been said, it was a mistake, and I regret it."
"The Big 12 conference is so tough, it's basically the black-and-blue conference," Texas coach Mack Brown said. "A lot of people are trying to play tough games in the early season just so they can be ready by the time conference play comes around."
But other than Baylor's (0-2) last-second loss, coaches around the Big 12 were assessing the conference's dominating play this weekend and re-evaluating their chances.
Brown's Longhorns (2-1) trounced Rutgers, 38-21, behind the leadership of quarterback Major Applewhite. Applewhite threw for 244 yards and two touchdowns.
"We were happy to see less mistakes made on special teams and on offense," Brown said.
No. 16 Kansas State's Bill Snyder said the team's 40- victory against Temple provided a chance to rethink his lineup.
"This game gave us an indication of where we are at this particular point in time," Snyder said. "There has been some concern and an evaluation of personnel. If we find that
BIG 12 CONFERENCE
someone is playing better than someone else, this is the time to give them the chance to move up the depth chart."
Oklahoma State's Bob Simmons said he may consider encouraging his quarterbacks to stay behind the line of scrimmage a little more often.
First-time starter B.J. Tiger threw for 162 yards and added 70 yards rushing Saturday as Oklahoma State (2-0) defeated Tulsa, 46-9. Tiger, filling in for injured quarterback Tony Lindsay, completed 10 of 16 attempts, including a 4-yard touchdown pass, and scored on a 1-yard run.
"We played well on offense and defense and did a good job of pressuring the quarterback," Simmons said. "What I really like about the quarterbacks is their toughness. They are really tough — almost to the point where it's scary. They think they're running backs."
Texas Tech's Spike Dykes said he was just happy his team played hard without injured running back Ricky Williams, who stayed at home during Tech's 38-17 victory over Louisiana-Lafayette.
Williams' replacement, James Easterling, rushed for 114 yards and two touchdowns.
"We didn't have long to worry about the loss last Monday," Dykes said. "Easterling came to front as a runner and had an especially good game. He played better than he has ever played."
The Red Raiders improved to 1-1.
Nebraska coach Frank Solich had nothing to complain about Monday.
The No. 4 Cornhuskers, 2-0, manhandled California, 40-0.
"We've been able to move the football, in one fashion or another and have a multi-array of offensive attacks." Solich said.
Iowa State coach Dan McCarny couldn't stop grinning about his team's 17-10 victory against rival Iowa this weekend.
Iowa State improved to 2-0.
Driver prevails on 'bittersweet' day
The Associated Press
MONTEREY, Calf. — Bryan
Herta called a ittersweet day.
Herta called it a bittersweet day. The 29-year-old driver outclassed the rest of the CART field in Sunday's Shell 300, leading all 83 laps on the way to his second victory in as many years at Laguna Seca Raceway.
But Gonzalo Rodriguez, the 27-year-old Uruguayan driver killed Saturday in a crash during practice, was never far from the thoughts of Herta and the rest of the drivers.
On Sunday, his fellow drivers stood together during a prerace moment of silence for Rodriguez and then went out to battle each other on the 2.238-mile, 11-turn road course.
"We are race drivers and we
have to have a blocking system in our minds to do our job," Roberto Moreno said after a career-best finish of second. "We just go out and drive every corner until the checkered flag.
"But you don't forget what happened. It's my best result, but when I think about it, it's always going to be in my mind a sad day."
Herta, fighting to keep his ride with Bobby Rahal's team, started from the pole and led all the way, beating Moreno to the finish line by 1.826-seconds — about 10 carlengths.
"I'm really happy for today, but our hearts and thoughts and prayers are still with Gonzalo and his family," Herta said. "This is a bittersweet day for CART."
Max Papis, Herta's Team Rahal teammate and the third-place fin
isher said he frequently thought about Rodriguez.
"There are many things that go through your mind besides racing," he said. "But my passion and our passion for racing is the best tribute to Gonzalo's will to succeed."
But the lingering sadness about the death of Rodriguez could not take all of the joy out of Herta's second career victory, particularly coming near the end of what has been a miserable season and with rumors swirling that he will lose his ride at the end of the year.
His record on Laguna's 2,238-mile, 11-turn road circuit has been phenomenal. In the last four years, Herta has started every race from the front row and finished second, sixth, first and first while leading 225 of 323 laps.
"I'm not telling," he said when asked for his secret. "If there is a reason, I don't know what it is, and I don't care. I'm just happy to enjoy the kind of success I've had here, and hope it continues."
On Sunday, Herta was totally in charge except for a brief moment during a restart on lap 62.
"That's when I nearly threw it all away," he said.
The leader, knowing the aggressive Michael Andretti in second was getting ready to launch an attack on the restart, went too deep into the final turn under the yellow, locked up his brakes and nearly started a chain-reaction crash.
But, while the drivers behind him scrambled, Herta regained control of his Reynard-Ford and pulled away.
British sprinter cleared of all doping charges
The Associated Press
LONDON — Gary Cadogan became the third British athlete this summer to be cleared of taking the controversial banned substance nandrolone.
United Kingdom Athletics said yesterday that its disciplinary committee dropped all doping charges against the spinner, who produced a positive urine sample in November 1998.
"The disciplinary committee concluded that it could not be proven beyond reasonable doubt that the substance present in the sample was derived from a prohibited substance," UK Athletics said in a statement.
The federation said Cadogan's suspension was lifted, and he was free to resume competition.
Cadogan joins Linford Christie, the former Olympic 100-meter champion, and Scottish spinner Doug Walker in being cleared by UK Athletics for dandelor use.
The sport's world governing
body, the International Amateur Athletic Federation, has the final say. As it did with Walker, the IAAF can reject the British finding and refer the case to its own panel. The IAAF has not yet dealt with Christie's case.
Cadogan, meanwhile, criticized the IAAF for publicizing,his positive test.
"The IAAF must realize there are too many unexplained cases of so-called nandrolone offenses in relation to athletes who would have no cause to take such a drug," he said after his exoneration.
"I myself proved negative two weeks following the alleged positive finding which brought me before this hearing today. That in itself is sufficient evidence for the IAFA to begin to question the accuracy of these tests."
IAAF officials suspect that food supplements spiked with nandrolone could be the reason for the sudden surge of positive cases.
Basketball player never got chance to stand out
The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Charles Hayward never got a chance to live up to his billing as the top basketball recruit ever at North Carolina Charlotte. Leukemia changed those plans, and now the disease has taken his life.
Hayward, 21, died Sunday night at UNC Hospital in Chapel Hill, the school said Monday.
Hayward was admitted to the hospital in April and underwent a bone marrow transplant.
Complications arose in July when Hayward's body began rejecting the transplant, and his condition worsened considerably last Thursday, school officials said. Teammates, family members and coach Bobby Lutz spent the weekend visiting him in the hospital.
"We all very deeply saddened by Charles' passing," Lutz said.
The university planned a memorial service for Wednesday afternoon at Halton Arena, the 49ers' home court.
When Hayward came out of
Louisiana in 1997, he was the highest rated recruit ever to sign with the 49ers. But North Carolina Charlotte's coaching staff noticed in preseason drills that the 6-foot8, 210-pound Hayward seemed constantly tired, so they sent him for a series of tests, which showed the presence of acute myeloid leukemia.
Hayward missed his freshman season undergoing chemotherapy treatments. That year the 49ers advanced to the NCAA tournament and dedicated their season to Hayward.
Hayward was declared in remission in April 1998 and cleared to play.
But 10 games into the comeback, the leukemia returned. Hayward spent the holidays in the hospital for more chemotherapy.
The 49ers won the Conference USA championship again advancing again to the NCAA tournament. But unlike the previous year, when Hayward occasionally felt well enough to watch his teammates play, he spent most of his remaining days in the hospital.

Authorities apprehend man found in bedroom
By Katie Hollar
Kansan staff writer
A 24-year-old woman said she woke early Saturday morning to see a man prowling around her sister's house. In the early, groggy stages of wakefulness, she thought she was dreaming.
She wasn't.
The woman said as she became more alert, her vision sharpened, and she saw the man walking toward her, arms outstretched. When he saw her eyes were open, he turned and went into an unoccupied bedroom. She said he emerged a few moments later.
She said that at this point, she realized she was awake. She saw him walk into her sister's bedroom, pick up a pair of underwear off the floor and return to the empty bedroom.
When he came out, she said, he was naked and fully erect.
The woman said she watched him walk into her sister's bedroom and kneel next to the bed where her sister laid, soundly asleep.
Totally alert and completely panicked, she knew she had to do something. She started screaming and yelling at the man. She said her screams woke her sister and startled the man, who quickly ran out the back door.
The suspect, William A. Morris, was apprehended by police at 2:45 a.m. at 13th and Tennessee streets, yards away from the house in the 1200 block of Tennessee. He was fully clothed at the time of arrest.
-Messages were left for Morris, but he could not be reached for comment.
University of Kansas records list William Alen Morris as a Danville, Ala., freshman. Officer Jeremy Kline confirmed William Alen Morris as the suspect from booking records at the Douglas County Jail.
Morris is charged with aggravated burglary, lewd and lascivious conduct and attempted sexual assault.
"We are looking at this individual in connection with other cases in the Oread neighborhood." Wheeler said.
Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence Police Department said Morris was being investigated as a suspect in other "naked prowler" crimes. This summer, several sightings of a naked man in the Oread area were reported.
The woman's sister, a Prairie Village service, filed the police report.
She said the suspect had pried off the screen of their kitchen window to get in, and that no one in the house was acquainted with Morris.
"I'd never seen him before," she said, "I bone I never see him again."
The victim said she had remained in touch with the district attorney's office. She said she planned to file civil charges against Morris.
"I don't want him to get off scot-free," she said. "I want to know if he gets help."
Morris is scheduled to make his first appearance in court at 3 p.m. Sept. 22.

Colors to liven sidewalks
ACLU to distribute chalk to students
By Nathan Willis writer@kansan.com
Staff writer
The chalk writings that flooded campus sidewalks at the beginning of the semester will be a mere trickle compared to the amount of writing by the end of today, if KU American Civil Liberties Union members get their way. In a protest of any policy that could ban some types of sidewalk chalking, members of the ACLU will be at Wescoe Beach today handing out colored chalk to passers-by and encouraging them to write and draw on the sidewalks.
J. D. Jenkins, Shawnee junior and ACLU advocacy chairman, said members planned to hand out 500 to 600 pieces of chalk, beginning at 9 a.m. and ending either when the chalk ran out or at about 5 p.m.
"We'll let them write or draw or do whatever they want," Jenkins said. "I think it'll be cool to have this chalk all over the ground."
The demonstration is designed to promote free speech, he said.
"We're sort of planning it as a freespeech event," he said. "We just wanted to have this day to express how important chalk is to student life and student expression at the University."
The ACLU demonstration is the latest in a series of student protests sparked by an Aug. 26 University Daily Kansan article that reported that restrictions
could be in the works for the campus's sidewalk policy, which now allows anyone to write anything on the sidewalks.
Provost David Shulenburger, who was quoted in the article as saying the number of commercial chalk messages was discourteous to the University community and that University Governance might take action to ban it, has been the target of many of the protests.
(USPS 650-640)
A few days after the Aug. 26 story appeared, chalk messages such as "Ban the provost, not chalk" popped up on sidewalks across campus.
The outcry prompted Shulenburger to write a letter to the Kansan emphasizing that free speech was not under attack at the University and that he was targeting only commercial advertising.

Unions touchdown on discounts
By Michael Terry
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The University of Kansas bookstores at the Kansas and Burge Unions kicked off the first of 11 Touchdown Tuesdays yesterday, where selected merchandise was discounted by 35 percent.
The KU Bookstores will be running the promotion through the end of the football season, in which they will offer 5 percent off for every KU touchdown on the Tuesday following the game, with a maximum of 35 percent per game.
"Textbooks, special orders, computers, electronics, CDs, clearance items and cigarettes were not included because they would have taken a loss if they were included in the sale."
"Most of the merchandise in the store was included in the sale," said Vicki Cannon, assistant manager for merchandise at the KU Bookstores.
"We thought this was a good way to get the students to come in here for something other than buying textbooks, and also a way to support KU athletics at the same time." Cannon said.
Cannon said that the idea behind offering a discount to students was to promote traffic flow within the Unions.
Charlene Chambers, a cashier at the Kansas Union Bookstore, said when she got to work she
She said the bookstores had not set any goals for the promotion yet, but that they would evaluate the numbers once they had been gathered.
expected the store to be extremely busy.
Chambers said clothing was a major item that everyone was buying.
"It really started to get busy around the noon hour." Chambers said. "At one point my line was 10 people deep, and we never have lines like that during this time of the school year."
"It didn't matter what it was, they saw the 35 percent off and had to have it," she said.
Lori Krug, Marina Del Rey, Calif, senior, said that she wasn't aware the sale was going on until she entered the bookstore.
"I think this promotion was a great idea, and I'll be sure to come back and shop here again," Krug said.
Krug was not the only one surprised by the discount. Franny Goode, Shawnee senior, said she also wasn't aware of the sale.
"When I found out most of the merchandise was 35 percent off I knew I would definitely buy something," Goode said.
The KU Bookstores are looking into coordinating additional sales in conjunction with other KU athletic events, Cannon said.
"We really want to see how things turn out with this promotion first before we start looking too far ahead," Cannon said. "You never know if something like this is going to be a hit or a bomb, but I think everyone involved comes out a winner in this promotion."

Pair launches satirical protest about evolution decision
Bv Chris Borniger
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Two members of a Lawrence-based group were the only protesters yesterday at the first State Board of Education meeting since the board voted last month to remove evolution theory from state assessment tests.
Philip Kimball, Lawrence resident, and Tim Miller, professor and chair of religious studies at the University of Kansas, represented Families for Learning Accurate Theories. But Kimball and Miller didn't protest the board's decision — instead, they said they wanted more changes to the state's science curriculum.
"We're here because the board needs to have the courage of convictions to follow
FLAT's Web site (http://www.flat.findhere.com), however, describes the organization as a satire. The group formed in March in response to another organization, Parents for Objective Science and History, which had lobbied the board to change how evolution was taught in schools.
He said FLAT wanted the board to remove foreign languages, the "round earth theory" and the theory of the value of pi from state educational standards because they contradicted Bible passages.
through on its thinking," Miller said. "We applaud the first step, but the board should get rid of things that contradict the Bible where there is diversity of opinion."
Ellen Barber, who founded POSH with her husband, Joel, said FLAT's use of satire undermined the importance of the
evolution debate.
Barber said POSH was not trying to mandate teaching creationism in state schools.
"They're not civil," she said. "They're not a group you can talk with. When you start from a sarcastic base and deride other peo-
plies' ideas, that's not productive. It's very unfortunate that they want to use the Bible in that way."
The evolution debate
"We're not trying
to bring the Bible into schools," she said. "Students aren't being told the whole story. If you teach evolution, don't stop there. Show the weaknesses of macroevolution also."
Bill Wagnon, one of four board members who voted against restricting the use of evolution theory in schools, said last month's decision had several consequences for the state, including having to endure ridicule.
"A good reputation is hard to earn and easy to lose," he said. "The board has given an opening to undermine quality education in the state."
When asked why he and Kimball decided to take a satiric approach to the board's decision, Miller said, "All I'll say on the record is that this is a serious matter."
Miller, however, said FLAT's mission was not intended to be humorous.
"I think there are many ways to communicate with people," he said. "This is a critical moment in the public life of the state of Kansas."

Senators to decide trial team funding
By Chris Borniger

Kansas staff wriers
Kansan staff writer
Article 7.2.5.6.1 of Senate Rules and Regulations prohibits organizations that receive money from Senate to use that money for travel expenses.
Student Senate will decide tonight whether to grant the KU Mock Trial team a special exemption to use Senate funds.
Last week, Tara Kelly, Panhellenic senator, and Sara Schreck, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, sponsored bills to allocate $2,492 to the Mock Trial team and to exempt the team from the rule, so that it could compete in tournaments around the nation. The bill passed in University Affairs and Finance committees and will go before the full Senate tonight.
Both Kelly and Schrech, however, are on the team. Kelly said she didn't think sponsoring bills to provide funds to her own organization was a conflict of interest because there was no specific representative for the team in Senate.
"Some things are cut and dried, like a bill to fund an engineering group should be sponsored by the engineer senator," she said. "But when you have a group that doesn't fall under

anyone's constituency, does that mean they don't get funded?" If the bill passes, the team would join only six other campus organizations that are exempt

Muthukrishnan said Senate rarely gave such exemptions.
from travel fund restrictions — the Graduate Student Association, KU Bands, the Forensics team, the Student Bar Association, Legal Services for Students and Student Senate — because they benefit a substantial number of students, said Aravind Muthukrishnan, Finance committee chairman and CLAS senator.
Eric Rush, CLAS senator and Finance committee member, said sponsoring bills that affected one's own organization was suspicious.
Kelly said the Mock Trial team had no purpose if it did not have money to travel.
"There's no rule against it, but it certainly doesn't look good for Student Senate." he said.
Kelly, however, said she thought the team deserved the funds because of the team's success. The team has reached national competition in both years of its existence.
"When you have a good team, it benefits more than just the people on the team," she said. "Law schools will know teachers here are particularly important in this type of issue."
Rush voted against the bills last Wednesday in committee. He said the Mock Trial team didn't affect enough students to deserve the exemption and the money.
"Exemptions should be granted very specifically, very laboriously and not very often," he said. "I don't think they've been around long enough to build a reputation."
In other business tonight, Senate will consider:
■ Bills to provide funds for four other organizations, totaling $1,684.
A resolution condemning the Kansas Board of Education.
A resolution supporting the students of National Autonomous University in Mexico City.

Forum to present debate on science and religion
The fourth University Forum series, held at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave., will feature a debate on science and religion and how the two can work together
Larry Martin, curator of the Natural History Museum, will lecture on "Science as Magic: Is Teaching of Science and Religion Compatible in the Classroom?" Martin he would point out the differences and similarities between the two.
"Rather than assume its conclusions to be true, science continually tests basic assumptions," he said.
"Religious assumptions are based on beliefs and requires no further testing."
Martin, a courtesy professor of geology also will discuss evolution.
"Many attacks on evolution, when carried to a logical conclusion, contain science as a whole," he said. "Most religions have found science and beliefs to be compatible."

The lecture will last one hour and is free to the University and Lawrence community.
Slide show to present Latin-American art show
Latin-American politics will reveal itself in art in the slide show by Marinela Leon at the International Room in the Kansas Union tomorrow.
A presentation called "Latin American Political Art", beginning at noon, will cover muralist and post-modernist movements in Mexico, Nicaragua, Uruguay and other Latin-American countries.
"Populist art couldn't be sold or bought," Leon said. "It was painted on the walls of public buildings to belong to the people and be easily understood."
The muralist movement was born after the revolution in Mexico and broke with elitist canons to bring art to people, said Leon, a native of Peru and Boulder. Colo...graduate student.
Leon said, she became interested in the subject because she could relate to the themes conveyed in the paintings.
The presentation is part of the continuing Merienda Brown Bag Luncheon Series organized by the Center Latin American Studies.

Students get opportunity to study Down Under
Students interested in studying Down Under in 2000 can learn more about the University of Newcastle in Australia today in an informational meeting at 4 p.m. at the English room in the Kansas Union.
Renee Bergene, study abroad coordinator, said students would see a video about the exchange program and also would have a question-and-answer session with Brian Freedman, director of International Development at the University of Newcastle.
"We are able to send as many students as possible," Bergene said. "The only requirements are that the student has a 2.5 GPA and has sophomore status."
The program offers a variety of classes including engineering, environmental studies, aboriginal studies and general education classes.
"Worst case scenario, the program costs $10,000," she said. "But a lot of the expenses are cheaper than we figured."
Other meetings about the program are held continuously throughout the semester at 2 p.m. Mondays, 4 p.m. Thursdays and 10 a.m. Fridays at 109 Lippincott Hall.

"The book draws upon the author's experiences living in the area during the turbulent 1960s and 1970s, when economic conflict and environmental war over Native-American lands was highly visible," said Lisa Eitner manager of the bookshop.
The novel, which was published in June, is a suspenseful literary thriller that takes place in the northwest region of Minnesota, near a Chippewa reservation.

Johnson was a Teaching-Writing Fellow at the Iowa Writer's Workshop and a recipient of the Wallace Stegner Fellowship from Stanford University.

Musil stops in Lawrence declares candidacy
Overland Park City Council President Greg Musil stopped in Lawrence yesterday afternoon to officially declare his candidacy for the 3rd Congressional District seat.
The Lawrence stop was one of four stops — one in each county of the 3rd District — for the Republican candidate.
Musi's announcement speech at the Lawrence Visitor Center, 402 N. Second St., focused on familiar issues and what he called responsible conservatism.
"The principles I believe are important in this kind of race include a focus on smaller government, lower taxes, less regulation and making promises only when we know we can keep them," he said.
Musil said it was important to get out in the district in the next 10 1/2 months before the Republican primary, so he could listen to people's concerns.
John Kilroy, Johnson County senior, said he was working on Musil's campaign because the candidate understood his constituency.
Musil said it was important for Republicans to unite together after the primary and avoid the divisions that contributed to Vince Snowbarger's defeat to Democrat Dennis Moore in the last election.
"He's got a lot of great ideas," Kilroy said. "I think he's the future of the state and the 3rd District."
Musil, who chaired Gov. Bill Graves' re-election campaign in Johnson County last year, can expect national attention as he tries to knock off the Democratic incumbent in a district that is usually a Republican stronghold.

ACLU wants message sent through student creativity
Continued from page 1A
Korb Maxwell, student body president, said he had talked with Shulenburger and agreed.
"This is not a witch hunt to destroy student groups," he said. "But he wants credit card companies gone, he wants VarsityBooks.com gone."
but not the students were convinced.
"The thing is, when you start banning something, it's hard to say what you're going to ban and what you're not going to ban." Jenkins said.
Shulenburger was out of town late last week and early this week, but in a faxed statement, he said he hoped that students would see that commercial chalking was hurting the beauty of the campus and forcing facilities operations crews to clean the sidewalks.
"Ideally, students will develop an appreciation of their campus such that litter and commercial defacement would be opposed by them as well as those whose official responsibilities include keeping the University clean." Shulenburger said. "I think students do realize what a beautiful campus this is. They may not realize what a struggle and what expenses are involved in keeping it beautiful."
Shulenburger also emphasized in his letter to the Kansan that University Governance, not he, would make any policy changes.
Indeed, Jim Carothers, University Senate Executive Committee president, said that Shulenburger had instructed SenEx to look into policy changes.
In any case, it will probably take a while before the policy actually gets changed, he said.
SenEx has not yet decided on a course of action, but one possibility is setting up a committee to study the issue further before deciding. Carothers said. It could also be part of a broad initiative to govern other forms of expression on campus, such as flyers, he said. Another possibility is to establish information kiosks on campus that student groups could use, he said.
before the policy actually gets changed, he said. "I would be surprised if anything happened quickly." Carothers said.

Discounts not available for Lawrence students
By Lori O'Toole
By Lori O'Toole
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Apartment-dwelling students could be missing out on a specific rent discount that has appeared at other universities across the nation.
Theta Chi fraternity members at the University of Idaho can save up to 100 percent — about $6,000 on rent if they live in the chapter house for at least three years and maintain a 4.0 grade point average.
Roger Oster, former owner of Country Gardens,
an apartment complex near the University of
Arizona, offered student tenants rent discounts based on grades.
The discount is no longer offered because Oster sold the complex more than a year ago.
Although the Lawrence apartment rental market does not offer lower rates as an incentive for good grades, a high GPA is one of many criteria the
department of student housing considers when selecting scholarship hall residents.
Jennifer Wamelink, department of student housing assistant director, said the rent in most scholarship halls was $2,717 including food, compared to $3,845, which includes a 15-meal plan, for most residence halls.
"I think it's important that students have this option," she said.
"I think in our society, you don't get a lot of positive reinforcement," she said. "I think this is a good way to support students who do well in school."
Bethany Ostrye, Derby junior, is living in Miller Scholarship Hall for her fourth semester.
Ostryne said Lawrence should have more ways forood students to save on rent.
Although grades do not apply, there are a few apartment complexes that offer rent breaks to students.
John Saovino, owner of Master Plan Management Inc., said he began offering a $30 rent discount in the spring to a few apartment tenants who let the management show their apartments to potential renters. Other Lawrence landlords provide similar benefits.
Master Plan manages Jacksonville Apartments,
700 Monterey Street; Woodward Apartments, 611 Michigan Street; and Hillview Apartments, 1745 W. 24th St. It also oversees about 100 single-family homes and small duplexes in Lawrence.
Saovino said he would never offer discounts based on grades because his properties were not completely student-oriented.
"I don't necessarily see how there would be a return for the owner in an agreement like that," he said. "Obviously, it promotes education and good grades, but I don't see how it would affect my rental agreement with my tenants."
He said he had never heard of student tenants receiving rent discounts based on grades but it was a smart idea.
Jason Olds, property manager of Naismith Hall, 1800 Naismith Dr., said rent discounts were available to residents who were National Merit Scholars, international students or scholarship athletes.
"That stronger student is probably a more mature student who would take better care of the property," he said. "It might be worth the discount if they save you money in the long run."

Regents to gather for first meeting
By Clay McCuistion
Kansan staff writer
The reformulated Board of Regents assembles for its first series of meetings today on the Pittsburg State University campus.
Five newly-appointed and four holdover Regents will tour the Pittsburg campus and meet in various committees from 9 a.m. to 6:45 p.m. The nine regents will start their first official meeting of the semester at 9 a.m. tomorrow.
The presidents of the six universities that the Regents directly govern also will attend. Those universities are the University of Kansas, Kansas State University, Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University, Wichita State University and Pittsburgh State University.
"The board is their boss," said Kim Wilcox, executive director of the Regents.
Several groups overseeing the Regents' new responsibilities will be
meeting for the first time. Both the Commission on Community Colleges/Vocational-Technical Education and the Task Force on Postsecondary Funding will convene.
"There's a lot of stuff happening." Wilcox said. "This is the first meeting we'll have with the new board and all the new commissions."
Barbara Conant, communications director for the Regents, said the task force would discuss a revised funding formula for the 37 colleges under the Regents' supervisory control.
"It will probably be their major agenda item." Conant said.
Regents Jack Wempe, Clay Blair,
Steve Clark and Fred Kerr serve on the task force.
Conant said that the Regents also would meet at KU, Kaw Area Technical School in Topeka and Hutchinson Community College before the semester ended.
Korb Maxwell, student body presi
Board of Regents
dent, will represent KU students at the meeting. Maxwell is chairman of the Students' Advisory Committee, made up of the six student body presidents from the universities directly governed by the Regents.
He said that he hoped for a smooth transition with the Regents.
"I have spent a good amount of time through working with the board leadership to ensure that SAC is looked after, and its interests are accounted for in the restructuring." Maxwell said. "The tough nut left to crack is where the community college student body presidents will fit into this new rubric."
Maxwell said he expected that the commission would continue as
usual and meet a few times a year with the community college student leaders to organize their joint legislative issues.
The Regents assembling in Pittsburg are still adjusting to new membership and a new mission.
July 1, five of the regents were replaced and the Regents' responsibilities dramatically increased. The group retains direct governance of the six four-year public universities but now also supervises 31 other colleges and coordinates all of the state's higher education.
Bill Docking, chairman of the Regents, said that the six men and three women on the board had made progress during the summer with preliminary meetings and an August retreat.
"We've gone from nine individuals to one board (that) I think will be fully productive," Docking said. "It's a real challenge, no question about that."

Senate should nix travel spending bill
Last week, the Student Senate Finance Committee voted to allot $2,500 to the University of Kansas mock trial team for the year. Tonight, this spending bill will advance to the full Senate for final approval. We urge the Senate to defeat it.
Student groups generally request $300 to $400 for a year's funding. This money often is used to cover the cost of postage, advertising, copying and general office supplies. Senate funding regulations expressly forbid groups from receiving travel expenses.
But Tara Kelly, president of the mock trial team and Panhellenic senator, wrote the mock trial team's funding request to include just that — travel expenses.
Kelly, who also is a finance committee member, originally asked for $2.956. Her proposed bill stated $2.198 would be used for travel expenses, even though
Student fee funds are too scarce to meet travel requests of student groups
groups are typically expected to raise their own money for travel.
Kelly and the finance committee suspended Senate rules and eventually approved $2,500 for the mock trial team, a large part of which will be used for travel.
Kelly said that her organization had made numerous unsuccessful attempts to raise funds elsewhere. Finance committee member Casey Connealy also pointed to other travel exemptions that have been made for groups such as KU Bands and KU Forensics.
tions. Other organizations often have to struggle to obtain funding of $300 just for operations, and allocating $2,500 to one group sends the wrong message.
Furthermore, the mock trial team receives funding from the pre-law society, Phi Alpha Delta, which pays the group's registration fees at tournaments. These funds already provide outside support for the group, and it is not too much to expect the team to cover the rest of its travel expenses without Senate help.
Nevertheless, Senate should not allow this favoritism or go down the road of making additional travel funds exemp-
The KU mock trial team may be a fine organization with important academic qualities, but it should not be above Senate rules by which other groups must abide. Nor should the group receive special treatment because a group member holds a key Senate seat.
The Student Senate should send this resounding message tonight by defeating this proposal.

Binge drinking not part of all 21st birthdays
celebrated my first on Sunday last week — a mellow affair in this country where the age means nothing. Instead of downing shot after shot, I spent the night with the other students and friends from Golifto, Costa Rica, at a bar where we played darts and

picked songs from the well-stocked Latino and U.S. CD collection.
Perspective
While some might consider our relatively sober night a letdown, its the norm here. Costa Ricans drink, but drunks are rare. The drinking age is 18, but in Golfito, IDs aren't checked.
Matter
Merkel-Hess
columnist
opinion@kansan.com
In Golfff, there are two things to do at night if you want to leave your house — go to a restaurant or go to a bar. Scattered throughout the town are
bars and clubs that serve the national beers, Imperial and Pilsen, the sweet Costa Rican rum Centenario, or gauro, a sugar cane liquor which is the equivalent of Mexico's tequila. Also present are some imports and Heineken, which is brewed in Costa Rica.
Many bars also sell bocas, small plates of food that may include fish, beef, chips, some salad or bean dip and plataines — fried plaintains. Bocas and drinks usually start around 200 to 250 colones, or about 70 to 85 cents.
Sunday night is a big night in Golfito because the largest employer in town, the duty-free port, is closed on Mondays. About every two weeks the largest nightclub in town, Club Latino, is host to a touring act.
Our first Sunday in town was a salsa and merengue band complete with three vocalists, bass, guitar, keyboard, drummer and auxiliary percussion. During set breaks, a disc jockey played dance music.
Two weeks later, there was a video tour put on by Derby, a national cigarette brand. Upon entering the club, everyone was handed a 5-pack of cigarettes by women clad in Derby red and blue pleather, or plastic leather. Inside, a projection screen and two Televisions added a visual element to the bass of a low-quality sound system.
Between the video and dancing were minishows by two pairs of Derby Dancers. Their lack of coordination left me unimpressed. I preferred the non-dancing breaks — two guys on stilts, a guy juggling fire or two people in very large, comical masks. The night was well worth the $2 ticket.
Songs that didn't have a made-for-television video had a fascinating, computer-generated video from Derby. The animation was slow but fluid with strange stuff like statues in Roman ruins coming to life, or circular blobs floating down a pulsating tunnel.
One other interesting night was the International Show de Patry. Patry turned out to be two cross-dressers that also happened to be some of the worst dancers I've seen. Not that they didn't try. About every 45 minutes the two Patrys would interrupt an otherwise normal dance night with their wigs, dresses and lip sync to bad Spanish love songs. Everyone clustered around the dance floor just watched. If found it kind of boring — these guys had nothing on KU's Pride Week fashion show.
Although there are lots of bars here, most of them are small and dismal. It would be nice to have some other options like a movie theater or more live music, but that's the reality in this small, out of the way town.
In any case, I didn't come here for the nightlife. They'll be plenty of time for that when I get back home. After all, I'm legal.
Students treated only as marketable workers
Merkel-Hess is an Iowa City, Iowa, junior in journalism.
Usually I only think of this episode when someone asks me what I'm majoring in, and I say sociology and American studies, and then
Have you ever seen that episode of The Simpsons in which all of the school kids have to wear uniforms? There's a great scene where the superintendent is walking through the playground with the principal, and he says something to the effect of "these drab uniforms create the perfect atmosphere to prepare our students to take jobs in tomorrow's manufacturing and retail sectors."
they look at me like "oh, you poor thing." But most recently this scene popped into my head when I saw a Listerine advertisement that read as follows: "Stress, all-nighters and a hectic schedule can increase your risk of gingivitis. Yet another reason to major in sociology."
I am not railing against Listerine and their insult to my chosen field of study but rather to point out that we have fully internalized the idea that the only reason we are in school is to make ourselves more marketable. A perfect example of this mentality comes from last Thursday's Kansan that contained an article about the chancellor's faculty convocation address and the need for everyone to be scientifically literate. Within that article is a quote from the director of career and employment service who said that the stronger we make our students in scientific literacy the more marketable they become.
Aaron
Major
columnist
Is that really how you want your worth as a human being to be measured, by how marketable you are? We as students are no longer seen as human beings but rather as human resources — more cogs in the economic machine. We live in a world where technology is king, where your worth as a human being is
measured by the worth of your paycheck and where the quality of your education is directly proportional to the number of job titles that match the name of your major (i.e. a pharmacy student becomes a pharmacist, a journalism student becomes a journalist, etc.). People who don't fit the student-to-worker mold — like the sociology student in the ad — are ridiculed.
It really is a sad state of affairs. If you just think of all the purposes higher education could serve, it's really disappointing that our institutions of learning have gotten so wrapped up in trying to make us better tools for the system that they can easily leave the human spirit at the door to the admissions office. Your passion could be art, but it's only OK if you call it graphic design and want to design advertising layouts. History could fascinate you, but that's not very practical so why don't you throw in a business degree to fall back on?
In its own brilliant way, that episode of The Simpsons makes this same point. Curiosity, imagination and (God forbid) intellectual radicalism are all thrown away by our employment-focused curriculum.
Call me a hopeless idealist, but I would like to see a better world before I'm too old to enjoy it, and I think a lot of other people would, too. How do we even begin to make the necessary changes when we're being molded to fit the existing structure? There's more to being human than climbing the corporate ladder or building a Web site for someservice.com.
As individuals, we are overflowing with highly specialized technical knowledge, but when it comes to seeing the big picture, to understanding the course of history or for appreciating the lives of diverse groups of people, we truly are ignorant. Our institutions of learning — at all levels — can take a major step in promoting a more humanistic education by ceasing to view us as the future tools of America and by starting to treat us like people.

Women's sports gaining strength
I was not angry after I finished reading Derek Prater's article entitled "Local ballers could defeat women's pros." I was disappointed.
The article is not fact. By having the article on the front page of the sports section, he is saying that women's basketball sucks. With Prater's disgust with the WNBA being shown, he is discrediting the KU women's basketball program.
I don't know if Prater actually watched any of the WNBA playoff games or not, but if he had, he would have noticed Tamake Dixon in three semifinal games.
by KU's own Marion Washington for four years and has been a member of the Sparks since the inception of the WNBA. I have seen Tameka Dixon and other KU women's basketball players at Robinson, on the basketball courts, whipping up on the guys. Tameka Dixon isn't a center. She isn't the best player in the WNBA. However, she can grab four other players and compete with anyone that enters Robinson.
Tameka Dixon was coached
I don't want to say that Prater has not attended a KU women's basketball game, but his article is only allowing students another reason not to attend. Considering what a strong basketball background KU has, it is amazing to me that KU students will wait for days to see the
中
men's team, but they won't attend a women's game. The women's games are free with a KUID. You don't have to arrive two hours before the game starts. You can sit anywhere in Allen Field House no matter what time you get there. And usually, they throw cool stuff into the stands. Why wouldn't the basketball crazed fans want to attend the games?
The popularity of women's sports is growing. The dunks will come. And even if hell freezes over, you could not coach a team of Robinson basketball players that could defeat any five WNBA players.

NAFTA may be hurting workers
Mexican and U.S. workers should unite, activists say
Lesley Simmons writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
American and Mexican workers are at the mercy of multinational companies and governments, representatives of a worker's-rights group said.
Two members of the Cross Border Network for Justice and Solidarity spoke to about 60 students last night at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries about the negative effects of the North American Free Trade Agreement on workers in the United States and Mexico.
Joe Harrington, KU professor of English, and Judy Ancel, program director at University of Missouri-Kansas City said that in the United States, 200,000 jobs had been lost because of NAFTA. Some of those jobs used to be in this region. But, they say, Mexicans are not to blame.
NAFTA allows corporations to import and export goods across all of North America without paying tariffs. It also allows foreign companies to receive the same treatment as domestic companies.
However, Ancel said that after working with U.S. unions, she realized that American workers needed to get past the feelings that Mexicans took American jobs. They need to realize that the livelihood of either Mexican or American workers could depend on the actions of the same large, multinational companies. She said that was one reason the Network wanted to build solidarity and communication between workers in Mexico and the United States.
Ancel said that if the two groups of workers would unite it would present a force that the companies and governments could not ignore.

The Network, based in the Kansas City area focuses on the city of Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. The city is home to

many maquiladoras, the Spanish word for a large factory, which usually are owned by large, multinational companies.
Environmental laws are not strictly enforced in Mexico, and workers have fewer rights, which can make Mexico attractive to companies. Ancel said that between 1994 and 1998 the number of maquiladora workers has doubled to more than 1 million, but wages have gone down as workers in the interior go the border region looking for work.
Joanna Griffith, Wichita junior, said she thought the speakers were realistic and impassioned.
"U.S. policy and what we do in the United States have an immense impact on Mexico, whether we know or care," she said. "So it's our responsibility as socially conscious citizens to learn about what our neighbors in Mexico are experiencing and try to have a positive impact."

Latin students gather for celebration
By Lesley Simmons
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
People in Central America will be marching and singing today in celebration of their 178th independence day.
Costa Rican students in Lawrence will recognize the holiday by gathering from 4 to 11 p.m. on Saturday at "Dad" Perry Park, located at Harvard Road and Monterey Way, to play "mejenga," a game similar to soccer, and eat "arroz con pollo," a rice and chicken dish.
Costa Rican students from Kansas State University also will attend the Saturday event.
"We get all Costa Ricans at both universities together," said Kathy
Richardson, president of the Costa Rican student association.
Since 1996, Costa Rican students from the University of Kansas and Kansas State have celebrated Independence Day together, alternating between Lawrence and Manhattan. This is the only time students from the universities meet formally, Richardson said.
About 70 students usually attend. Stephen Hylton, San Jose, Costa Rica senior, went to the celebration in Manhattan last year. He said he attended for fun, not because he was patriotic.
Alexandra Esquivel, San Jose,
Costa Rica graduate student, said
that in Costa Rica, the night before
Independence Day at 6 p.m., all of the
radio stations played the national
anthem.
"Over there it's a real holiday," she said. "There are no classes, no work."
Pakal Balam, a Teepan, Guatemala graduate student in Latin American studies, said that students and teachers marched and sang the national anthem together in Guatemala on Central America's independence day. However, Balan said, that because he was Mayan, he would not celebrate the holiday.
"There is a conflict between indigenous people and non-indigenous people." Balan said. "Indigenous people still do not have their independence. We cannot use our own language in school or government, and the national song does not include us."

Sidewalk dining at Brown Bear still under review
Love,
By Derek Prater
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
City Commission
A public hearing on a proposal to revoke the Brown Bear's sidewalk dining license scheduled for last night's Lawrence City Commission meeting was deferred at the request of Ryan Rodenburg, co-owner of the brewery.
The Brown Bear Brewing Co. is back in business, but sidewalk dining will have to stay on hold.
City Clerk Raymond Hummert sent notice to the owners of the
David Corliss, legal services director for the city, said that a sidewalk dining license was separate from a liquor license and that receiving a sidewalk dining license mandated that the license holder make 70 percent of total receipts from food sales.
Rodenburg said that he was gathering information to make the Brown Bear's case to the city.
Your Sisters at Sigma Kappa
"We're going to talk with a bunch of people and try to put together a defense," Rodenburg said. "From the input we've gotten so far, we think that 70-30 is almost an unreachable standard for the entire restaurant industry."
Mike Wildgen, city manager, told commissioners that delaying the hearing would allow the commissioners to receive informational packets prior to conducting it.
---
Under a 1994 zoning regulation, downtown drinking establishments are required to make 55 percent of revenue from food sales.
Rodenburg said business at the brewery had been so-so since it reopened. He said that the timing of the closing hurt the Brown Bear because the closing came at the time when students are determining which bars are popular on a given night. Rodenburg said.
The City Commission relented and gave the brewery another chance after the owners formed a new corporation and presented the commission with a new business plan at the Sept. 7 City Commission meeting.
The Brown Bear's city liquor license was not renewed last month when an internal audit showed that the brewery was not reaching that requirement. The Brown Bear closed Aug. 20.
In other City Commission news:
n The City Commission adopted on first reading an ordinance that would reinstate parking along the west side of Louisiana Street from 160 feet south of 13th Street to 14th Street.
n The City Commission directed staff to draft a proposal to keep and renovate the South Park wading pool.
Wilden said that the pool had been built about 20 years ago and either needed to be replaced or maintained.
City commissioners agreed that the wading pool had become a fixture in Lawrence and that it should be saved.
"It's nice to come onto an item where everyone agrees not to mess it up," said Mayor Erv Hodges.

Prospects get service, smile
Visitor Center provides tours, first impression
By Amanda Kaschube
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
For prospective college students, the decision to attend is sometimes based on a student's first impression. For potential University of Kansas students, the first thing they see isn't Allen Fieldhouse or the Campanile it's the KU Visitor Center.
The center was completed last January and is now home to the Office of Admissions and Scholarships.
Margge Frederick, KU Visitor Center coordinator, said the center had added a new dimension to the University.
"It's improved the public relations of the University," she said. "We treat the prospective students like customers here."
Frederick said the center had greeted 12,000 visitors in its eight months of operation.
"The biggest bulk of students has been in the fall because that's when they start applying to college," she said. "It's had a snowball effect. I'm so proud of all the
hard work and effort of the directors."
At the center, prospective students receive presentations from admission directors before being shuttled to the Kansas Union to meet with KU Student Ambassadors who lead them on a campus tour.
Kelly Burnely, St. Louis, Mo. graduate student who coordinates the Ambassadors, said the tour was the most crucial part of the student's entire visit.
"The prospective students see the campus from the KU student's perspective," she said. "We've heard nothing but compliments."
Frederick said that the new setup of the KU Visitor Center allowed visitors to have free parking in the center's lot. The rest of their day is spent on campus, being shuttled around by buses and meeting with professors from various schools.
Burnely said the setup showed the visitors the ease of coming to campus.
Positive feedback has come from more than just touring families. Frederick said she had heard a positive response about the center from alumni as well.
"Everyone is glad to see a happy face and get information from a reliable source," she said. "All of the city signs direct people to here
if they need info about KU."
Frederick said her goal was to have every niche of the University represented at the center by using student artwork and more sports memorabilia.
The center, which cost a little more than $2 million, was built during winter break last year.
Warren Corman, University architect, said the bulk of the money came from state funds appropriated by the Board of Regents.
"The state gave $1 million, the University gave $615,000, $218,000 came from housing funds and $170,000 came from parking fees," he said. "Tuition wasn't increased to pay for it."
Of the money appropriated by the University, the bulk came from tuition and other campus fees.
The student housing fees paid for the lecture room in the center, which seats more than 100 people. Corman said the seminar could be used for housing meetings and for admissions purposes.
Overall, Frederick said the admission office thought the KU Visitor Center would help enrollment because it was a strong first impression for many.
"If parents and students feel better about the University and the community, then they'll be more anxious to come here," she said. "It really sets a tone."

Renaissance Festival actors pull up dancing tights, affect Elizabethan accents for ye oldyst festival in town
A long-haired bright-eyed man lies in wait at the castle
entrance. He bombards innocent people with propositions to feel his fur. '
"We have to pretend that each day is the one day of the harvest fair. It's kind of like the movie, Groundhog Day, all over again."
The greeter is Andrew Thompson, a dancer bedecked in a floppy hat, leather vest, knickers and burgundy tights. The fur he offers Renaissance Festival patrons is a matted pelt that looks suspiciously
PRESIDENT OF THE SCHOOL OF MARITIME SCIENCE
AND TECHNOLOGY
Andrew Thompson Kansas City Renaissance Festival
I think he's been trying to sell the same pelt for five years. "I try to sell it because it makes a rather good pet," he explained in a proper British accent. "Ye don't have to feed it or clean up after it, and it minds very well."
"Ilive by chocolate-covered cheesecake on a stick," he said. "Since I dance seven times a day, I don't have to worry about my figure."
The 23rd annual festival held in Bonner Springs transports visitors back to a 16th-century village each weekend from Sept. 4 to Oct. 17. Psychics, character actors, turkey legs and traditional song and dance transform a field at Sandstone Amphitheater into a Renaissance-era harvest festival. The characters range from Queen Elizabeth I to the Prince of Poop and the actors expect visitor interaction. Kissing wrenches hover at the entrance to lay a smoosh on the unsuspecting. Beggars carry signs selling kisses for one pence. The Duke of Dung hugs any passer by who doesn't walk fast enough to escape.
"The dance is purely a hobby," Thompson said. "It's fun and it's a good venue to keep this kind of thing alive. People can actually come and see researched courtly dances. At a block party you'll see people shaking various parts of their body in an unseemly manner, and they try to call that dancing."
when you're out here and everyone else talks that way, you slip into it easily. A lot of times I just add in syllables where there shouldn't be any," he said. "I even find myself talking this way after the festival."
The enthusiasm and hard work also pay off as far as festival patrons are concerned. Women and little girls don flower halos, or princess hats. Various people gnaw on turkey legs or have artists paint their faces. Two high school girls from Columbia, Mo., Kivotin Steins and Chon.
In his five years playing the tanner's son at the festival, Thompson's accent is fluid and natural. He claims to have picked the accent up easily.
The Renaissance Festival is a family affair for the Thompsons. Andrew, a freshman at the Kansas City Art Institute and his sister, Valerie, are co-dance coordinators for the court and peasant dance troupes. His mother designed all of the court dancers' costumes and made the 30-foot serpent, Kassmyre the Dragon.
His mnemonic device to break the British accent is to repeat. The beer is in the pickup truck. He said this helped him revert to his Midwestern accent.
"We have to pretend that each day is the one day of the harvest fair," Thompson said. "It's kind of like the movie, Groundhog Day, all over again."
Thompson's hobby requires long hours and physical stamina in addition to wearing tights all day. A dancer's day is strenuous. Characters are to be on their feet, dancing, mingling and reverting royalty from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
However, Thompson's busy day does have its advantages, he said.
lotte Christensen, make the trek every year with their families. Steitz is in the process of making a Renaissance-period dress to wear when she goes to the festival.
Off with their heads:
Monarchy is the law of the realm at the Renaissance Festival. Queen Elizabeth I reigns until Oct. 17, when the festival ends.

Standout won't put Big Red back on
By Michael T. Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan swriter
Nebraska running back DeAngelo Evans quit the Cornhusner football team yesterday, but it doesn't seem as though Nebraska's loss will be Kansas' gain.
The junior grew increasingly frustrated with his lack of playing time and reoccurring injuries, according to Cornhusker coach Frank Solich.
"It's certainly difficult for this football team," Solich said. "You never want to have a player, for whatever reason, not be able to finish out the season or finish his career at his school."
Evans had a standout football career at Collegiate High School in Wichita and broke many of fellow Wichita native Barry Sanders' records, but it appears that he will not be returning to his home state. Evans will remain at Nebraska and continue to attend classes, according to
Solich
Kansas coach Terry Allen said the likelihood of Evans becoming a Jayhawk was slim.
"I don't think it will happen," Allen said between laughs. "No one here has talked to him."
When Allen was asked if he wanted a player on his team who allegedly quit because of lack of

playing time, he was noncommittal. "It'd depends on the circumstances," Allen said. smiling again.
playing time, he was noncommittal.
If Evans were to transfer, he would have to sit a year because of NCAA rules. However, Evans may petition the NCAA for a medical redshirt season because of his injury problems during the past three years. If awarded, he would be given an extra year of eligibility.
Injuries have limited Evans to playing in only five contests in three years. Against California last Saturday, Evans finished with only five yards rushing in six carries.
Evans and Solich met after the game against the Golden Bears, and Solich said Evans' mind seemed to be made up about leaving the team.
deAngelo and his family were unable to be reached for comment.
"In general it really came down to the role he was playing." Solich said.
Kansas wide receiver Harrison Hill, who attended Collegiate High with Evans, was shocked by yesterday's news.
Hill has remained friends with Evans and said he would try to call him to get the inside story on why Evans left. Hill said he didn't believe that Evans was quitting because of his lack of playing time.
"I was surprised," Hill said. "I hadn't heard anything about it all day, then someone told me at practice, and I was shocked."
"There had to be something more than that," Hill said. "He's one of the hardest working, determined guys I've ever seen in my life. It's not like him just to quit."
In other Nebraska football news, Solich named Eric Crouch the starting quarterback yesterday. Bobby Newcombe, who had been starting for the Cornhuskers, will move to wingback.
Solich said the turbulent times in Lincoln were a low point in his coaching career.
"It's probably been the toughest couple of weeks, maybe months of coaching for me," said Solich, who also saw backup quarterback Jay Runty transfer to Nebraska-Omaha earlier this season.
Despite the turmoil, Nebraska has outscored its opponents 87-7 this year and is tied with Florida for the No. 4 position in the Associated Press top 25 poll.

But Kansas cross country runner Jay Kocks has managed to upset an entire college.
Not too many transfer students have left their previous school in the lurch.
Kocks, who transferred to Kansas this fall from Missouri Southern State College, has been accused of plagiarizing a piece of literature that he wrote and was published in the Winged Lion, Missouri Southern's annual student-produced creative arts magazine.
Joy Dworkin, associate professor of English and literary adviser for the Winged Lion said that the creative arts magazine would not be entered in any competitions this year because of the plagiarized entry.
Kansas cross coach coach Gary Schwartz said that he had no knowledge of this before yesterday. But Schwartz said he would have asked Kocks about it before he let him join the team as a walk-on this summer.
"I would've talked to him about it," Schwartz said. "But I don't know how what he did there affects his status on this team."
"Ishmael," a winner of the Turner Tomorrow Fellowship award, was released this summer as the movie Instinct.
The work he's accused of plagiaring is Daniel Quinn's novel, "Ishmael." Kocks titled his excerpt of "Ishmael," chapter one. "My Surmise."
When Kocks was questioned by reporters from Missouri Southern's student newspaper
The Chart, he told them that he had never heard of the book and denied any evident similarities between "ishmael" and "My Surmise."
"When I wrote ("My Surmise") in high school, it was to mimic something that we'd read and change it from the major portion of what it was into something smaller." Kocks said in the article.
"My Surmise" is comprised entirely of passages from chapter one in "Ishmael." When he turned these passages in to the Winged Lion under his name, it became plagiarism.
"I regret it now and I shouldn't have turned it in, but I did." Kocks said. "It was bad, bad judgment on my part and there's not much I can say to really apologize for anything."
The executive editor of Missouri Southern's student newspaper, Jeff Wells, said that many students were unset.
"The mood around here is pretty much shock and dismay," Wells said. "A lot of people aren't too happy about it because (Winged Lion) is an award-winning publication."
("Repercussions) are something that we're just discussing at this point in time," he said. "It's something that the president of the university will have to decide."
Erik Bitterbaum, vice president for academic affairs at Missouri Southern, said that since Kocks was no longer a student at his university, he was unsure of what could happen to him.

Shockers to invade Horejsi
Jayhawks attempt to end losing streak
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas volleyball team will take the first step to recovery at 7 tonight against the Wichita State Shockers at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
The match will be the first for the Jayhawks since they finished in third place last weekend at the Hampton Inn Jayhawk Classic. Kansas, 5-2, won the first match by sweeping Chicago State, then let two big leads slip away in losses to both Texas Christian University and Auburn.
Kansas coach Ray Bechard said that there was still a lingering disappointment after the losses, but said the team must now focus its energy on Wichita State. The Shockers come to Lawrence with a 1-6 record.
"Their record doesn't indicate a lot of success, but every match they've been in has gone to at least four or five games," Bechard said. "They play a very demanding schedule and they're a veteran team. I think it will be a very tough match."
Wichita State opened the season with six straight losses before beating Arkansas-Little Rock on Saturday, 3-1. The Shockers are led by Jan Meloy, who has 118 kills on the season to go with a team-leading 79 digs.
The Jayhawks lead the all-time series against the Shockers, 35-12. Kansas also has a two-match win streak against Wichita State, including a 3-1 victory last season in Wichita.

A difficult road lies ahead for the Kansas women's soccer team.
Five games into the season the team has a 2-3 record and looks ahead to a schedule that could send chills through some of the nation's elite. After falling to 19th-ranked Missouri last week, the Jayhawks next foe will be the 17th-ranked Georgia Bulldogs. Then comes Southwest Missouri State, a team that at 7-1 is off to its best start in school history.

Although both opponents will be difficult, Coach Mark Francis said he saw it as a definite benefit for his team.
"When we play a difficult team like Missouri, we can get a sense of where our shortcomings are, so we're better off playing tough teams now because that's the only way to prepare us for our conference opponents," Francis said.
Francis knows what he's talking about. In addition to Missouri, four more conference opponents are ranked in the top 25. Nebraska has neared the top of
the chart at No. 3 and Texas A&M is ranked 8th. Baylor jumped 10 spots to 14th this week, and Iowa State climbed into the charts at No.24.
Francis said his team was doing the right things in practice to put themselves in position to win games, but that their mental preparation had been lacking.
"We're not really doing anything different," Francis said. "We're just trying to get group focus because at the beginning of each half we've come out in the first 5-10 minutes of the game and (given up goals). We need to make sure when the game starts we're, 100 percent ready to go."
Junior Colleen Colvin agreed.
"He (Francis) does the best that he can to prepare us for the games, but we have to step it up and prepare ourselves," she said.
Francis said his team had been working to correct mistakes defensively and in the midfield, as well as to create more opportunities for the forwards to score.
"We've really been working on off-the-ball movement to support each other quicker," Colvin said. "We've been reacting more instead of anticipating

Women in sports: they're more than sitting pretty on sidelines
Not only did Reves have her sister Brooke, who plays basketball for Kansas, cheering her on, but most of the women's basketball team, members of the women's soccer, tennis and rowing teams also were there.
Amanda Reves and the rest of the Kansas volleyball team lost their tournament at home last weekend against Auburn. Sad as it was for the team — especially since the matches were so close — perhaps the team felt some comfort from their friends in the stands.
They yelled at the officials' calls, encouraged the team with "that's OK," and defended their fellow women athletes.
To my surprise, the women athletes
The women who participate in these sports are members of individual teams, but they're also part of a bigger community—a women's community.
I thought it was neat to see them rooting for one another, little did I know that the scene I witnessed was part of a larger women's camaraderie within Kansas athletics.

to workout with one another.
Although women's sports have been accepted more widely, take for example the World Cup win and the WNBA, men continue to dominate the sports scene. Sometimes reporters — including Kansan columnists — fail to remember that women work just as hard to succeed in the athletic world. I know I couldn't do it.
The support the Kansas women athletes give one another needs to be recognized and deserves to be commended.
"I definitely feel more of a pull to support women's sports," Amanda said. "It's my commitment and my responsibility."
Besides, she said they were all friends.
It's interesting to me that she views going to soccer games and tennis matches as her responsibility.
I know men go to men's games, women go to men's games and even some men go to women's games, but do they view it as a responsibility? I doubt it.
Jennifer Jackson, who also plays basketball for the women's team, went to a soccer game earlier this season and last weekend's volleyball tournament. She held a homemade sign and cheered on a player, she stood and yelled at game point, but-most of all, she was a supportive face.
"It means a talk to look up into the stands and see a familiar face," she said. "We all know it's like to play in front of empty stands."
I asked Brooke and Amanda if they thought they had helped bring the volleyball and basketball teams closer together. While they said they might have played a small part, the support system at Kansas was part of a growing trend.
In fact, Amanda said, many of the younger athletes were more aggressive in attending other sporting events.
What the Kansas women athletes have done may just be a small step in the link to equality, but at least they're doing their part.

DETROIT — If Barry Sanders decides to return to the NFL, it won't be with the Detroit Lions, according to his agent.

Sanders still has desire to play, but not for Lions
David Ware said last night that Sanders hasn't indicated whether he would return, but said there is no way he would play for the Lions.
"I'd be hopeful, obviously, that in the right situation that he would consider it," Ware said. "I've just tried to put together something he might consider. He doesn't like to deal in hypotheticals."
Sanders, the No. 2 rusher on the NFL's career list who retired in July, has offered to repay $5.4 million of his signing bonus if the Lions release or trade him this season, Ware said. He said he made the offer to Detroit on Monday but that the team rejected it.
The 31-year-old Sanders definitely would return, if the Lions would accommodate him, a source close to the running back told ESPN for a story appearing yesterday on its Web site.
The Lions would not confirm whether Ware had contacted them on this matter.

Head coach Gunther Cunningham can hardly understand why anyone would even question the abilities of the 6-foot-5 quarterback, who was benched last year for ineffectiveness and will quickly be booed if he should falter against the Broncos.
"Are you kidding?" Cunningham responded Monday when asked if Grbac still has his full confidence. "It's exactly what he's got. I just don't believe you judge people for one game, whether you're a quarterback, or a defensive back or whatever."

Williams' medical troubles began in 1965, when he was shot in the stomach by a Texas state trooper after arguing during a traffic stop.
Williams was born in Griffin, Ga., and raised in Houston. He was inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame in Commerce, Calif., in 1997.
The shooting left Williams with lifelong kidney trouble, but it didn't stop him from challenging Ali in the Houston Astrodome only a year and a half later.
A memorial service will be held Friday in Houston, with burial on Saturday.

Three-month trial recess forced by Hurricane Floyd

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Hurricane Floyd prompted a judge to declare a mistrial yesterday in the lawsuit accusing Charlotte Hornets owner Gehirn Shinn
ing a woman.
Judge Costa M. Pleiciones initially delayed proceedings for several hours, then declared a mistrial and set the retrial for Dec. 6. He also used both.
sides to try to reach a settlement before then.
Lawyers for Shinn and Leslie Price, the woman suing him, immediately went into the judge's chambers and were not available to discuss whether a settlement was possible.
P
Price says Shinn lured her to his suburban Tega Cay home in September 1997 and forced her to give him oral sex. Shinn has denied the allegations and has sued Price for slander in a North Carolina court.
If the case returns for trial, Pleicones will have to rule on several pretrial questions. That includes whether testimony will be allowed from a former Hornets cheerleader who has said Shinn coerced her into a two-year sexual relationship or from a man who says he had a sexual relationship with Price at the same time as the alleged assault by Shinn.

In addition to field movement, Francis has moved around some positions. This week he moved sophomore Natalie Hoogveld from defender back to her natural position of forward to utilize her quickness. Taking defense Hoogveld's position will be senior Lindsey Loeffler.
Some key members of the squad are expected to be back in action this week as well. Junior Meghann Haven, who ranks second in career assists, practiced Monday following her knee injury against Missouri. Francis also expects sophomore Meghreen Walker to be ready to play Friday.
Junior transfer Hilla Rantala will not play Friday as she continues to recover from her ankle injury suffered in the season opener against Colorado. Rantala has been running in practice, and according to Francis, is now able to sprint.
"She's made huge strides since last week," Francis said. "She's working hard and the trainers are doing a good job trying to get her back."

Area boxer dies after fight at age 24
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo.
Supermiddleweight Randie Carver died yesterday, two days after losing consciousness in a North American Boxing Federation fight at Harrah's North Kansas City Casino.
Carver, 24, who had been in critical condition since undergoing emergency brain surgery late Sunday, went down in a 12-round bout with Kabary Salem of Brooklyn. N.Y. Family and friends had huddled at North Kansas City Hospital as Carver was kept on life support until he died yesterday morning.
"We are pretty shaken, of course," said Sharon White, Carver's aunt who has been acting as a family representative since the incident. "This is something we've been dealing with since Sunday. What we'd like to do now is go home and get ourselves together."
Salem's manager, Scott Massoud, was stunned by the news.
"Oh my god. I'm speechless," said Massoud from Brooklyn. "My thoughts and wishes go out to him and his family. God, what a loss."
Carver, who was repeatedly headbutted in the early rounds of Sunday's fight, fell sluggishly to the canvas in the 10th round after taking an overhand right and a straight left from Salem. He tried on four occasions to get up, but could not even get up on his knees.
After referee Ross Strada ruled a knockout, Carver's eyes appeared to go back in his head, and he lost consciousness. He was rushed to the hospital after paramedics treated him for
about 20 minutes in the ring. Carver did not appear to ever regain consciousness.
Carver's supporters were upset by the head butts. Strada said he warned Salem twice but ruled the head butts accidental.
A. D. "Spider" Bymum, a Dallas-based legal adviser to the NABF, said the federation would review tapes of the fight and aid any investigation.
Carver was a kid who grew up the hard way, and he wanted to help kids grow up right said Steven St. John, a close friend of Carver who sometimes worked in his corner during fights.
"As great a boxer as he was, he was an even greater person," he said.
Harrah's has announced that a boxing card scheduled for Oct. 3 has been canceled out of respect for Carver.

Defending Big 12 champion wins Nebraska Invitational
By Doug Pacey sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
The Kansas men's golf team took a step in the right direction yesterday to repeat as Big 12 Conference champions.
The Jayhawks placed three golfers in the top 10 and set two school records at Fairway Golf Club in Lincoln, Neb., on route to winning the Nebraska Invitational yesterday.
Kansas set a school record for margin-of-victory with a 35-stroke win. The Jayhawks finished the tournament with 853 strokes to Missouri's 888.
The final round yielded another school record for the men. They shot a record-low 272,12 under par, but all to seal the win.
"We played really well today on a very difficult course," said Kansas coach Ross Randall. "Considering the difficulty of
KU golf
All-American senior Ryan Vermeer led all golfers with a score of 202, 11-under par. The tournament was a homecoming for the Nebraska native.
Junior Andy Stewart finished nine strokes behind Vermeer to take second place, and junior Conrad Roberts shot 219 to place sixth.
Senior Brad Davis answered all questions about whether he would be able to play golf after incurring a heel and back injury after falling from an apartment balcony last spring. He finished tied for 13th after shooting 221.
The women's golf team placed 11th on the Big 12 Fall Preview, shooting 960. Sarah Mahoney led the women with an overall score of 228 to tie for eighth place.

Continued from page 1B
"They're definitely not a team to overlook," said senior middle blocker Anne Kreimer. "They've improved a lot, so it should be a good match."
Team ready for challenges ahead
One of the Jayhawks' primary goals heading into the match is simple — cut down on service errors. Kansas had a combined 56 of them during the three matches last weekend, but fixing the problem is easier said than done.
"That's something we have a concern about, but if we emphasize it too much it becomes more mental than it does physical." Bechard said.
One problem the Jayhawks didn't have during the weekend was smashing a handful of schoolrooms all of
recruits, all of which were broken during the loss to Auburn. Junior outside hitter Amy Myatt's 30 kills broke the

school's all-time record during a four-game match. Sophomore setter Molly LaMere's 86 assists ranks first all-time in Kansas history and fifth all-time in NCAA history for a four-game match. Kansas 102 team kills and 90 assists also were both school records.
Injury report:
Freshman setter Amy Billings, who broke the patella in her right knee in August, may be in uniform sometime in October. Bechard said.
■ Junior outside hitter Nancy Bell broke the big toe on her left foot in Kansas' win against Chicago State Friday, but said she would be ready to go tonight against Wichita State.
- Kreimer is still recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament she suffered during the teams' spring drills. The senior played in all of the team's matches in the Jayhawk 'Classic, and she is expected to play tonight.

Intramural soccer play began Monday and joined football and sind volleyball, which started play last week, as intramural sports in action. While the basic rules of the soccer game remain the same, like flag football, there are a few differences that affect the flow of the games.

"We only have a one- or two-hour training session," he said. "And it's hard to train officials completely who don't know the rules. The new rules make it easier on us and the officials."
"We had one major injury," Nienke said. "One guy either dislocated his shoulder or broke his collarbone, we don't know which yet. Other than that, there was nothing too big."

There are only two more weeks of games before the tournament starts. The regular season ends Sept. 27, and the tournament starts Sept. 30.

"We only use two officials," Saal said. "But we can do that because the field is smaller. We still don't have as many officials as we need."
"I was impressed because there weren't as many forfeits as usual," he said. "We only had four forfeits, and they were all on Sunday. That's pretty impressive, especially for the first week."
While soccer is getting underway, flag football wrapped up the first week of competition. Tom Nienke, Mulvane senior and program assistant, said that first-week play went pretty well.
Nienke also said recreation services were having a men's and women's singles tennis tournaments this weekend. He play would begin Friday and could continue through Sunday.
The number of players on the field and the dimensions of the field are different as well. While competitive soccer has 11 players on the field at once, intramural play only has eight. The field is 85 yards long instead of 110. The goal box also is

Lett, 30, had been suspended indefinitely since June 4 and missed the team's opening win at Washington on Sunday. The NFL's ruling, announced today, will allow the former Pro Bowler to rejoin the Cowboys for the Nov. 14 home game against Green Bay — if he has no further violations.
Saal said that the lack of experienced officials made it difficult for recreation services to train its officials.

Hurricane Floyd threatens coast
Millions flee; games change for those in path
The Associated Press
MIAMI—Authorities urged nearly 2 million people to evacuate coastal areas stretching from Florida to North Carolina yesterday as Hurricane Floyd, one of the most powerful and biggest storms to ever threaten the United States, roared through the Bahamas.
Floyd's eye was expected to pass within 90 miles of southern Florida and perhaps come within 50 miles of north Florida's coast by this morning before striking land somewhere farther north.
Floyd was most likely to make landfall in Georgia or the Carolinas, but hurricane specialist Miles Lawrence said at the
Floyd's top sustained wind eased yesterday to 140 mph — down from Monday's 155 mph but still a Category 4 storm, the second most powerful designation for a hurricane. Forecasters, however, said fluctuations in speed were expected. It would be Category 5 if wind speed reached 156 mph.
"If this thing parallels us, it could act like a Weed Eater going up the coast," said Craig Fugate of the Florida Emergency Operations Center in Tallahassee.

Storm surges in the Bahamas were reported at 20 feet above normal as trees were snapped by the wind, and communications lines were knocked out.
closed yesterday for the first time because of weather. Universa Studios also closed, and SeaWork shut down.
Neither the Dolphins nor the Jacksonville Jaguars were forced to cancel practice yesterday since Tuesday was a day off for most NFL teams.
WHERE IT IS TOO FUN TO CALL IT
The Florida Panthers opening NHL exhibition game last night was postponed. The Carolina League, rather than play the deciding game of its championship series, declared Wilmington and Myrtle Beach co-champions.
Hurricane-force wind of at least 75 mph extended 125 miles from Floyd's center.
"Sports pales to other issues that are at hand, even a championship." Pelicans general manager Steve Mallett said.
National Hurricane Center that they were so close to the coast that just about any small deviation could bring the hurricane onshore anywhere from central Florida northward.
The Miami Dolphins were bused the final 100 miles back from its season-opening victory at Denver.
The Florida Marlins, forced to play back-to-back doubleheaders last year when Hurricane Georges passed near, watched developments this time from San
At Orlando, Walt Disney World
Other teams, meanwhile, adjusted their schedules to accommodate the storm. Eighth-ranked Miami, preparing for Saturday's game against No. 3 Penn State, and Central Florida both moved up practice to avoid the fiercest weather.
"It's tricky," said Miami quarterback Kenny Kelly, who hit the practice field at 7:30 a.m. yesterday. "You never know what tomorrow's schedule is going to be. We'll play and see what happens tomorrow."
In Daytona Beach, NASCAR's headquarters was closed down as employees joined about 2 million people evacuated from coastal areas. Personnel packed the organization's most sensitive files and placed them on a plane out of state. It was the second time in as many years that NASCAR had to abandon its offices in an emergency. Fourteen months ago, wildfires forced the postponement of the Pepsi 400 race.

Mock trial group gets partial funding
(USPS 650-640)
By Chris Borniger writer @kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Student Senate voted at its first meeting of the year last night to deny a special exemption for the University of Kansas mock trial team to use Senate funds for travel expenses.
Senate, which met at McCollum Hall, voted 41-26 against the bill. It had passed, the team would have been eligible to receive the $1,844 it had requested to cover costs of travy

Senate did approve a separate bill to allocate $608 to the team to cover general organizational costs.

"I think a lot of people
were closed-minded on the issue and made up their minds without listening," said Sarah Schreck, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator and a member of the team.
Much of the debate centered on whether precedent existed to exempt the team. Schreck and Tara Kelly, Panhellenic senator and the team's president, co-sponsored the bills. They argued that because the forensics team is allotted money to travel, the mock trial team also should receive funds.
Aside from the forensics team, only five other groups — the Graduate Student Association, KU Bands, the Student Bar Association, Legal Services for Students and Student Senate — have such an exemption.

purposes the University community wants to fund," she said. "We don't need to make decisions based on an organization's need to survive."
Schreck and Kelly said they had sought several other sources for funding before they appealed to Senate. The sources included the School of Law, School of Business, department of political science and attorneys from the Lawrence and Kansas City areas. The college did donate $1,000 to the team.
In other business, Senate approved a resolution condemning the State Board of Education's decision to remove evolution from state assessment tests.
"This shows that the students of Kansas are extremely unhappy at what the Board of Education has done," said Partha Mazudar the resolution's co-sponsor.
Kelly was the only senator to vote against the resolution. She said she opposed it because it attempted to make a religious justification for evolution.
Brad Carter, graduate senator and former Baptist minister, received a standing ovation for his speech supporting the resolution.
"We have the opportunity to send a symbolic statement," he said. "Don't underestimate the significance of this symbol. The Board of Education was motivated by a sectarian religious agenda. As a person of faith, I am pained by their decision."
Senate also passed a resolution supporting the students of National Autonomous University in Mexico City in their efforts to improve their representation in university governance.
Senate approved bills to fund four student organizations, allotting a total of $1,684.

Bullwinkles could see late nights again soon
By Amber Stuever

Kansas staff writer
Another Oread neighborhood bar is battling the City of Lawrence for the right to operate as it has in the past.
Bullwinkles, 1344 Tennessee St., may earn its drinking establishment license back after winning a lawsuit against the city last week.
The bar sued Ray Hummert, city clerk, for denying it the zoning certificate necessary to obtain a drinking establishment license from the State Alcohol and Beverage Commission. The license would have given the bar the right to sell liquor and stay open until 2 a.m.
District Judge Robert Fairchild decided in favor of Bullwinkles Sept. 8.
The bar could begin selling liquor and extending its hours from midnight to 2 a.m. as early as the end of next week. However, Hummert has not yet signed the zoning certificate.
Judgment cannot be enforced Before the 10 days are up, City Attorney David Corliss, who represented Hummert in the case, can ask the court permission to extend the stay.
The law requires a 10-day stay, or postponement of the decision, during which the
"I'm waiting on the advice of the city attorney on whether or not to sign it." Hummert said.
would be taken until the end of the stay. One of the reasons for extending the stay, he said, is to retain the opportunity for appeal.
Edward Collister, the attorney who represents Bullwinkles, said no action
"We can't resort to legal remedies to force any judgment," Colliar said.
Bullwinkles' owners filed the suit in March, arguing that the bar was entitled to the zoning certificate Hummert refused to sign.
Zoning regulations established in 1966 made beer or liquor sales illegal in areas zoned residence-dormitory. Bullwinkles is located in such an area, but because it was established before the regulations were set, the bar was given the status of a "non-conforming use," meaning it was grandfathered and not subject to the zoning regulations.
From January 1993 to January 1998, Bullwinkles operated as a drinking establishment.
In January 1998, Bulls Eye Inc., the corporation that owned Bull Winkles at the time, surrendered its drinking establishment license to the commission after the bar was charged with serving alcohol to minors. The owners surrendered the license, but only after Hummert and his attorneys told them that Bullwinkles would not lose its non-conforming use status.
Bullwinkles later reopened as a cereal malt beverage establishment, serving only beer and shutting down at midnight.
In the fall of 1998, Bulls Eye

Unconventional classes break mold
By Amanda Kaschube
The monotony of taking math class after biology class after English class may leave some University of Kansas students feeling stressed out and looking for classes that are a bit less conventional.

Students may decide to take a class outside their majors to add some variety to their schedules and ease their workloads.
schedules and ease their use. One of the most popular classes at the University is Dennis Dailey's Human Sexuality in Everyday Life. Dailey, who has taught the class for more than 10 years, covers a variety of subjects, including sensuality, intimacy and safe sex.
"Most students are aware of their sexuality
Dailey said his class, which is offered by the School of Social Welfare but is open to all students, contains 500 students this semester two-thirds of whom are female.
Erica Allen, Leawood junior, decided to take Dailey's class because her mother, who had heard Dailey speak. highly recommended it.
at some level," he said. "Thee can learn something that may be useful down the line."
"She said he was the most wonderful speaker, and he had a great view on sex," Allen said. "A lot of the stuff he says makes me think, but I also get embarrassed a lot, too."
Despite the adoration Dailey has received from his students, he also has dealt with his fair share of criticism.
"Fred Phelps has picked my class and parents have written letters to the legislature
complaining," he said. "It doesn't bother me. It just comes with the territory."
Another option for stressed-out students is to take a dance class at the University. After students overcome their inhibitions, dance class can be a positive experience, said William Lenoir, professor of dance.
"It can be challenging and fun," he said. "It helps your flexibility and strength too."
Lenoir, who teaches Jazz Dance I this semester, said there was a wide variety of ages and skill levels among his students.
"A lot of the students have taken dance when they were younger and they want to keep doing it," he said. "We have a lot of theater artists, too, who need it."
But for many, it is a way to take a break

Students are given opportunity to help a bit closer to school
Alternative weekends keep volunteers nearby
By Karg Ammon
Alternative Weekend Breaks, a new program at the University of Kansas, will allow students to make a difference in a community close to school.
The first trip will be tomorrow and Saturday to the Great Plains Earth Institute in Wichita.
By Kara Ammon Special to the Kansan
The Center for Community Outreach sponsors the weekend breaks to create volunteer opportunities for students who want to learn about important issues by participating in a local community service project.
Weekend breaks also opens up more opportunities for students who are unable to participate in the Alternative Spring Break program.
"We're trying to give people more opportunities to get involved," said Chris Huskey, Salina senior. "The weekend breaks are closer, more convenient and concern issues that are in our state."
This weekend, 10 students will travel to the institute, which sponsors large community gardens where people in lower-income areas can grow their own food. The institute has created more than eight community gardens in Wichita and also interacts with other local organizations to help them run their organizations in an environmentally safe way.
Volunteers will learn about community gardens, hunger and environmental issues. Tomorrow they will listen to speakers from the institute talk about the community gardens that have been established in Wichita. The following day, volunteers will tour the gardens and
actually work in them.
"Alternative breaks tries to get people to give their time and energy and to learn about issues that are important to them," said co-director Holly Worthen, McPerson sophomore.
No volunteer experience is required for the week breaks. The volunteers participating in this trip will stay overnight in a church. An $18 fee is required for food, transportation and a donation.
Alternative Spring Break organizers were turning away more and more students because so many wanted to volunteer. Weekend breaks organizers hope to give more students the chance to participate in community service and to learn about important issues within Kansas and Missouri.
The weekend break program receives funding from the Kansas University Endowment Association, University schools and departments, a Coca-Cola grant and its own fund raising.
Worthen said one of the purposes of the weekend breaks was to respond to some past participants' criticism about Alternative Spring Break, such as the program's dedication to national or global issues instead of to those closer to the University and its surrounding communities.
"A lot of the time we focus on national issues. This program gives students a chance to develop interest and awareness of local issues," she said. "It also brings people together that normally wouldn't be interacting with each other."
Volunteers can pick up applications for upcoming trips at the Alternative Breaks Program office or at the Center for Community Outreach office on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union.

Obscene pictures drawn on Hashinger Hall board
A University of Kansas student found obscene pictures drawn and explicit language written on the dry erase board of her Hashinger Hall room door at 10 a.m. Sept. 4.
Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office said the incident occurred between 11:15 p.m. Sept. 3 and 10 a.m. Sept. 4. The pictures and language on the board were sexual in nature and included two spots on the board where "KKK" had been written, he said.
"This was the first incident of this nature reported at Hashinger Hall," Mailen said. "There are no suspects at this time, but we'll continue to investigate the incident for possible suspects."

Watkins computer system back up after six days
After being inoperative for six days, the computer system at Watkins Memorial Health Center is working again.
On the morning of Sept. 9, the disk controller and disk drive for the billing records malfunctioned, said Chyton Miller, computer operations manager at Watkins.
As of yesterday, Miller said that the pharmacy and scheduling divisions were running and that hopefully billing would be running by this morning.
Miller said that the cause of the failure was unknown, but that he was working on redesigning the software so a failure would not occur again.
The computer problem occurred while Watkins officials were in the middle of evaluating new hardware and software options for Watkins. Miller said he was working on upgrading the 12-year-old system.
Earlier this week, students were unable to make appointments because of the computer failure, he said.

Polish official regrets desecration of tombs
WARSAW, Poland — A Polish official expressed his sympathy to the Jewish community in Poland yesterday, saying he deeply regrets the desecration of tombstones at a Jewish cemetery in Warsaw.
Janusz Widzyk, the chancellery chief, said in a statement sent to the Polish state news agency PAP that he regrets the "brutal vandalism and unprecedented devastation" of the cemetery.
Unknown perpetrators damaged three gravestones at the 192-year-old Jewish cemetery late last week, police said. The damage was discovered Monday.
Police had no further details. But according to Agniezska Mdagzik-Miszczewska, the prime minister's adviser for Polish-Jewish relations, the graves of three rabbis were covered with symbols of Satan.

South Africa to purchase $3.5 billion in new arms
as such Saiman Airlines' strongest military power yesterday as the government gave final approval for new arms purchases worth $3.5 billion during the next eight years.
The deal — which involves purchases of submarines, aircraft and ships from England, Sweden, Italy and Germany — is the nation's first major acquisition of weapons since the end of apartheid in 1994
Church and social activists have charged that there are more pressing social needs in South Africa. Unemployment there is at 34 percent and millions of people live in shacks without electricity and running water.
But the government said the deal will create thousands of jobs because in exchange for the contracts, the nations selling the arms have agreed to invest in South Africa. Also, Defense Minister Patrick Lekota said greater security for the country and the region would increase investor confidence.
The Cabinet originally planned to spend the equivalent of $4.9 billion. Lekota said the Cabinet left open the option to spend the additional $1.4 billion. That decision must be made by 2004.
Jan van Eck, an analyst with the Center for Conflict Resolution, said the proliferation of arms in the region is a negative development.
But, van Eck said, there is an argument for beefing up the military because of increasing volatility in the region: Conflicts in central Africa are spreading south, and nearby Angola and Namibia are unstable.
The arms to be purchased include 12 Hawk aircraft jointly made by Britain and Sweden, 30 light utility helicopters from Italy and three submarines from the Germany.
The South African army also would need the arms to play a role in international peacekeeping, van Eck said.

Local students face choice: home or hall?
By Lari O'Toole
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Katie Donnelly always has had the choice of where to sleep, where to eat and where to recover from the flu since she has been at the University of Kansas.
Even though Donnelly's family lives in town, the Lawrence graduate student has had a place of her own throughout college.
But her home and her homeaway-from-home have been just minutes apart, making home-cooked meals, a quiet study atmosphere and her family easily accessible.
"Just to have them right there is great," Donnelly said. She now lives in an off-campus townhouse with two other students. She also lived in Ellsworth Hall as both a resident and a resident assis tant when she was an undergraduate.
Donnelly is not the only Lawrence student who has had to decide whether to live with their parents or live elsewhere while attending the University—a decision that often involves considering issues of independence, privacy and expenses.
In the past five years, the University has had between 800 and 900 Lawrence undergraduates from Lawrence who attended either Lawrence or Free State high schools.
Donnellly said she never considered living with her parents during college and that they encouraged her to experience living on her own.
Her older brother, Chris, a KU graduate, and her younger brother, Joe, a Lawrence senior, have also lived away from home during college.
Donnelly said living close to home had helped her in many ways.
She said she never had to deal with being homesick. Her family also was able to help her in certain situations, such as the time her car was towed at 2 a.m. and she needed a ride.
There was also the time when one of her friends had mononucleosis and Donnelly's family let her stay with them for two weeks to recover.
She said it also was nice to be able to see Brandy, the family dog, who has been to many KU activities, including Homecoming parades.

She said she loved her family but was ready to get out on her own after high school. Schumm still goes home at least once each weekend to visit
"Luckily I had the choice about where to live," she said. "I know a lot of people who can't afford housing who are still living with their family."
Shawn Pence, Lawrence senior, is one of the students who could not afford to live on his own.
"Money kind of dictated where I was going to live," he said. "It really doesn't matter if I wanted to move out or not. I couldn't afford it. I really didn't get the social aspects of living in a dorm."
Pence said it was difficult when, after his senior year at Lawrence High School, his University-bound friends moved into the residence halls or apartments, and he continued to live with his parents.
He said people always were surprised when he told them he was a college senior living with his parents, but he was not embarrassed about it.
Pence said he and his parents had argued about curfews and communication about his whereabouts, but his family had helped him throughout college.
Although he said he did not regret staying at home, he often thought about what it would have been like to move out.
"Looking back," Pence said, "I would have taken out more student loans for a chance to live in the dorms or an apartment complex."

Gunman kills 7 in Fort Worth
Shooter targets youths attending church service
FORT WORTH, Texas — A man dressed in black walked into a teen-age church service last night, pulled a gun and opened fire. Eight were killed before the gunman fatally shot himself in a church pew.
The Associated Press
"He hits the door real hard to make his presence known, and he just immediately started firing," said Dax Hughes, the church's college minister.
Lt. David Ellis of the Fort Worth Police Department said the man killed three adults and three teen-agers before he killed himself. An eight person died in the hospital. Eight more were hospitalized, some in critical condition, he said.
Police said they did not have a motive for the shooting. They think the man was in his 30s, but they did not know his identity.
Just after the 7 p.m. shooting at Wedgwood Baptist Church, a pipe bomb exploded on a balcony inside the sanctuary, but police did not

know of any injuries. A bomb squad was inspecting several suspicious packages found at the church, Ellis said.
"He was very calm and looked normal and was smoking a cigarette," witness Christy Martin told KDFW-TV. She said the man had long hair and wore a mustache.
Chris Applegate, a seventh grader, said he was in choir practice when the gunman burst into the room.
"We were singing a song, and then in the middle of the song, this guy opened the door and fired one shot," he said. "He just kept telling us to stay still."
"We all just jumped under the benches and he fired about 10 more shots," Applegate said. "Somebody said, 'Run, run,' and we all started running."
When the gunfire ended, Hughes said the man sat in the back pew, put a gun to his head, shot himself and fell down.

Phillip Shaw, Philadelphia junior, said that he supported the Board's Aug. 11 decision that has caused a furor throughout the nation.
"It's probably a wise decision because people can still teach evolution if they want," Shaw said.
Shaw said that it was a school's responsibility to teach evolution only as a theory.
He said that the decision gave small towns with large Christian populations an option to disregard theories of evolution. But he said he did not think that students from such towns be at a disadvantage when they enter college.
"For one thing evolution is everywhere. If you turn on the Discovery Channel you get the highs and lows of evolution." Shaw said. "I don't think you need to spend a year in school, as in my case, to learn what evolution is. That's pretty hard core."
R. J. McDaniel, Fort Leavenworth junior, said that he also supported the Board's decision because it was neither the responsibility of public schools to teach evolution nor that of the student to learn evolution theory prior to college.
"It should be the university's job to adjust and not the students," McDaniel said.
John Bacon, Lawrence representative for the Board, said that students from Kansas would be more prepared for college than students from other states as a result of the Board's vote.
"Schools in Kansas will teach evolution as a theory and not a fact," Bacon said. "And so I think what you will have is students coming
in who are a little more open-minded."
Bacon said that he was pleased with the outcome of the Board's vote because there was no evidence for macro-evolution, or evolution involving large steps, of any form, including geological evolution.

The evolution debate
Walking a divergent path
Bacon said that he was more prone to think that the Grand Canyon was created by a large flood such as the one as depicted in the Bible.
"If you look at that canyon there is just no way that a stream like that could have carved that wide of a canyon." Bacon said.
McDaniel, who does not think that humans evolved, said that creationism should be taught in the classroom.
"I would say that Christian creationism should be taught in school because I think it's the truth," he said. "But that is just as opinionated as some who think evolution is the truth."
Trying to avoid selection
David Frayer, professor of physical anthropology, said that people already perceived Kansans as bumpkins and that if Kansas schools chose not to teach evolution, that maybe they were correct in that assumption.
"If you start using the Bible to run the physical world, opposed to moral restrictions, we're going to have a pretty chaotic world," Frayer said.
Paliv Bhana, a Lawrence junior who practices Hinduism, said that it was impossible to teach creationism in public schools because there were so many religions with accounts concerning the creation of the world and humans.
"There are a lot of religions to cover, and you can't teach creationism without leaving some theories out." Bhana said.
She said that evolution should be taught in schools and that it was the student's choice whether or not to accept it as fact.
Eugenie Scott, director of the National Center for Science Education, Berkeley, Calif., said that she feared that textbook manufacturers would be influenced if they thought that other states and school districts would follow Kansas's lead.
Bacon said that if textbook publishers began downplaying evolution in textbooks that it was up to the local school districts to make decisions on how to teach evolution.
"That's something that hopefully the local school districts will take up and if they feel it is not covered well enough to meet the needs of their community then they are more than welcome to supplement it in some other way," Bacon said.
So where are you headed?

Military help for East Timor is necessary to install democracy
President Bill Clinton said Monday that the United States would have a limited role in a United Nations security force in East Timor. If the U.S. really wants to support freedom and democracy abroad, it is right to Join the peace-keeping force.
A campaign of violence and terror by anti-independence militias has developed since an Aug. 30 election in which the East Timorese voted for independence from Indonesia. Indonesia has controlled the island since 1975.
Putting aside issues of economic ties with Indonesia, the situation in East Timor is a clearly worthy cause that the U.S. should fight for. The violence of the past few weeks is a
Force is necessary to help Indonesia install a democratic government in East Timor
direct blow to a democratic process in which 78.5 percent of voters expressed support for independence.
If the U.S. abstained from a multinational stabilization force in East Timor, it would be turning its back on both democracy and human rights.
We do not mean that the U.S. should be the world's police officer, but it should acknowledge crises such as the one in East Timor and make a reasonable effort to help people who are fighting for their freedom. When the horrific violence and brutality is added to this conflict, how could the United States possibly turn the other way and let the madness continue?
The plight of the East Timorese shouldn't be solely the responsibility of the United States. Indonesian president B.J. Habibie has conceded that a foreign force is needed to establish order, and we should just be one of many nations supporting the effort.
Clinton is right. The United States can not, and should not, stand back and watch as other nations step up to stop this chaos and support democracy.

Renovated stadium performed well
A recent study in The Sporting News ranked the University of Kansas athletics program as the 25th best among 112 major programs nationwide. The survey took into account only basketball and football, and, as one would expect, the lack of fan support for football kept the University from achieving a higher ranking. Lack of fan support was definitely not a problem, though, at Saturday's football home opener.
The new-look Memorial Stadium impressed many fans who attended the game. The new MegaVision screen was a success, as views of the replays were greatly enhanced. The new screen, one of the biggest in the
Despite all the construction delays, renovated stadium performed nicely at debut
nation, is something that students can take pride in when they go to games. The new press box and suites also are impressive. Beautiful weather and a resounding victory added to the success of the day.
There were more than 33,000 fans at the game,a 700 person improvement ahead of last year's first home game. A free-ticket promotion along with the good weather greatly helped attendance.
Also present was a group named the Hawk Club, which was formed to give extra support to KU athletics. By having the club sit up front in matching T-shirts, the crowd seemed to get a boost of enthusiasm.
Despite the adversity the Athletics Department faced in the construction of the additions, there were few, if any, complaints at the first game. Though the paint just finished drying and the new facilities may need a touch-up here and there, all performed well in their first test.
As the season progresses, the enthusiasm should remain the same. The game on Saturday proved that attending a football game can be a fun, relatively inexpensive way to spend a weekend afternoon.

I haven't written in about a week. I wish I could tell you that I haven't written because I was too busy being seduced by a beautiful heirs, thus fulfilling my lifelong dream of having a beautiful girlfriend and more money than God. I'd like to tell you that, except that it's totally inaccurate.
What I have been doing for the last week is reading my e-mail. It was a scant five years ago that I broke down and signed up for my first e-mail account. As a wide-eyed freshman, I was wowed by this miracle of instant communication.

Additionally e-mail used to be predominantly good news. Nothing is better than checking your e-mail and finding a message that says, "Nicholas, I enjoyed reading your message. Dad and I miss you. We'll send that money soon. Love, Mom."
I could devote no mental energy toward writing a message.
E-mail also was useful for a person like me with an attention span too short to write a letter. Here, unlike a phone call, I could ensure that I didn't say something stupid, but like a phone call,

I used to enjoy seeing if someone had written me, now I dread the words "You have new mail." My point is that the listservs I now find myself on are ruining the pure bliss that I used to have when checking my e-mail.
I suppose it's lucky I haven't destroyed my computer yet.
So to fix this, I think I'm just going to start ignoring my e-mail. I'll just refuse to check it. After all, any problem one refuses to acknowledge is no problem at all.

Faculty salaries should match peer institutions
To see just how little we pay our professors, contrast their paychecks to those of their peers at the University of Missouri, a similar (albeit inferior) institution. A tenured professor makes an average of $83,300 there, but only $68,000 here. To make matters worse, the study points out something that students already know: Lawrence is an expensive town to live in. Professors' salaries don't stretch as far here as in some other college towns.
On the first day of class last year, I listened to one of the school's most esteemed professors gripe about the embarrassingly low salaries and benefits given to our faculty. Throughout his career he received job offers from schools promising far bigger paychecks. The offers were tempting, he said, but he knew he belonged at the University of Kansas. He loved teaching KU students, working with his colleagues on campus and living in his restored old house near downtown Lawrence. But like many other professors, he couldn't understand why the University didn't offer more incentives for quality teaching and research.
It was reassuring to know that one professor gained the recognition (and cash) that he deserved. Unfortunately, though, there aren't enough Kemper awards to cover each faculty member on campus. And even a $5,000 bonus every year wouldn't make the University's pay comparable
It was just when he had finished saying this that

to salaries at similar institutions outside Kansas. A recently publicized study found that among 80 comparable schools, our professors' salaries ranked in the bottom 10 percent.
Our school is a great place to teach at, and that helps us retain quality professors like the one I mentioned earlier. But as these pros retire, will
Students need to realize the extent to which our faculty are underpaid and let the administration know that they have our support for increased salaries. Hopefully, when we take our message to the state, they will realize the importance we place on talented professors. This school has a tradition of excellence to uphold, and to do so we must do more than renovate dorms, build skyboxes on our stadium and open a new ree center. The reason that we are here is to be taught, and so the very core of our institution is our teachers. We're doing a poor job maintaining that critical resource.
In addition, our schools and departments may turn elsewhere for support, which could have unfortunate effects. Many professors already do consulting for outside businesses to supplement their income. Some state schools have resorted to taking on corporate research (which is not released to the academic community) to help pay for their costs. A few schools even have professorships funded by corporations when they cannot afford to hire new faculty with state funds. If you think having a Coke monopoly on campus is bad, wait until Microsoft pays the salary of your computer engineering professor.
McMaster is a Wichita senior in political science, journalism and humanities.
University seal is religious but harmless
Although most everyone is aware of this discrepancy and agrees that our professors deserve more, this has yet to become a serious issue on campus. If students, and especially student government, would rally around a pay increase for faculty as much as they bicker about who gets to drink beer where, we might be able to convince the state to allocate more money for our professors. It's critical that we support this cause. If we can't convince the state to better support our institution's employees, teaching and research will inevitably decline in quality.
we be able to recruit young Ph.Ds to fill their shoes? While the University has a good national reputation, it's likely that young professors with loans to pay off will choose more financially promising schools. The University of Texas, perhaps, which pays its assistant professors around $52,400 compared to our offer of $43,300.
Feedback
A controversy recently started over whether the university seal is too religious — whether it is a symbol of religious oppression, whether it's harmless, or whether it should be kept with reverent dignity.
I'll admit that our seal is religious; it comes straight out of Exodus. However, as a religious emblem, it is loosely connected with religion but highly connected with revelation. As background, Moses was herding sheep when he glimpsed a burning bush. Out
To most KU students, the seal is harmless. How many can read Latin? How many even looked at the seal? If the ACLU is defending civil liberties and not digging for dirt, then why did they pursue an issue which doesn't appear to affect anyone?
of scientific curiosity and awe, he went to see how a burning bush might not be consumed. This was the beginning of the inspiration which led him to be a great and wise leader.
24
The seal is more than a mere emblem. It is a piece of history that is inherently part of us — would we pave over the Lincoln memorial or move the White House? No; these icons, from
another time, must be preserved.
As the ACLU has noticed, the seal is a symbol of our university. Are we now going to sever ourselves from all those who graduated in the past? Unlike the Confederate flag, our seal represents no unjust cause — unless we seek to oppress the search for enlightenment. Let us not seal our seal in the tomb of disgrace. Requiescat in pace, non tumulo.

Free Israel trip available to 20 Jewish KU students
By Lesley Simmons
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Jewish students who want to visit Israel but don't have the cash for the trip might be able to find someone to foot their bills.
Birthright Israel — a partnership among Jewish philanthropists, Jewish communities and citizens of Israel — is offering free 10-day trips to Israel, with no strings attached, to 5,000 Jewish students across the nation.
Twenty spaces have been reserved for University of Kansas students for winter break this year.
"The reason this trip was put together is that Israel holds a special place in the Jewish identity," said Susan Shafer-Landau, executive director of the KU Hillel Foundation. "Israel is the only country where Jewish people make up the dominant culture. For kids who have grown up as a minority, it is the first chance they have to see a society where Jews have come together from all over the world."
She said she encouraged interested students to apply.
"It makes a big difference in
how connected students feel to their Jewish identity, how interested they are in participating in Jewish cultural events and celebrating their Jewish identity," Shafer-Landau said. "It's a real bonding experience for Jewish friends to travel together in Israel."
She said the trip was open to any Jewish student, regardless of background, affiliation or level of observance. But a student should not previously have been to Israel on an organized group trip.
The trip will include exploring Jerusalem, hiking through the Galilee region, checking out night life in Tel Aviv, swimming in the Dead Sea, scaling the heights of Masada, attending a rock concert and meeting Israeli students, business leaders and political leaders.
Teri Levich, Wichita junior and president of the Jewish
Student Council, spent her freshman wear in Jerusalem.
"It made me appreciate being Jewish more." she said.
Levich said she encouraged all Jewish students to apply because she thought Israel was amazing. She said she didn't realize how much her year in Israel had meant to her until she was back in Kansas.
Levich said her trip to Israel also helped her understand the importance of remembering her religious ties.
"It's like math," she said. "If you don't practice it, you'll forget it."
Students can apply for the program on the Internet at www.israel2000.org. The deadline is Sept. 30.
Shafer-Landau said she would not know how many students had applied until after the deadline because initial applications would be organized by the national organization. If more than 20 students apply, the extras will be placed on a waiting list and given preference for future trips.
Information about other trips to Israel financed by Birthright Israel is available at www.israelexperience.org.

Mexicans plan local festivities for country's independence day
By Lesley Simmons
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Mexico's independence day is not an official holiday in the United States, but the day won't pass unobserved at the University of Kansas.
Sergio Guerra, a student from Mexico City, is planning a private party to celebrate the Mexican holiday, which is today. He has invited Mexican students to his home Friday night. He requested a list of Mexican students from International Student Services and expects 20 to 30 people to attend.
"We're going to bring some special dishes from Mexico and celebrate." he said.
In Mexico City, Guerra usually went to Constitutional Plaza, the central square, to celebrate the holiday. The streets would be crowded
with people, he said.
Guerra said it was hard to be in Lawrence for the holiday.
"I envy my friends at home who are having fun while I'm here going to class," he said.
Juan Carrera, Guzman, Mexico, graduate student, to attend Guerra's party.
"It will be a nice chance to see friends," he said.
Carrera said that after a few years in the United States, people became used to the fact that Mexican holidays were just regular days here.
"It's good to have a gathering so that the day won't pass by without acknowledgment," he said.
Carrera said that in Mexico everyone would go the to town square and say, "Viva Mexico," three times.

Organizers desire old Homecoming traditions, bonfire
By Emily Hughey writer@kanson.com Kansan staff writer
The weekend when all the old Jayhawks come back to visit is approaching.
Members of Student Union Activities, Student Alumni Association and Board of Class Officers are trying to change that.
Every year there's a game, a parade and a few floats, but beyond that. Homecoming is just another weekend at the University of Kansas.
Reviving traditions and enhancing spirit and participation are on the organizations' improvements list. But, after a month of planning and only two weeks to go, they agree on at least one thing — this year's Homecoming Oct. 2 will be good, but not as big as they'd like.
Trisha Harma, junior class treasurer, has been involved in planning Homecoming for the past two years. She said that she had seen the magnitude of Homecoming celebrations at universities such as Kansas State University and Notre Dame University and that the University's events paled in comparison. Although she said this year at the University would be better than the last, she said there was a long way to go.
"Homecoming is such a big time of year for people to come back for the game and just enjoy the school," Harma said. "It's such a school where we take so much pride in traditions and the school itself. It just kills me to see it's not that big a deal."
Although she said she was eager about the events, she said the University needed to spend more time planning.
"I feel like we just need more planning time and more communication." Harma said. "We just started working on Homecoming a couple weeks ago and other universities plan all year long."
Stacy Chain, special events coordinator and Homecoming promotions chair for SUA, said in order to make Homecoming a bigger event, there needed to be more cooperation among the administration, community and students. She said she had heard about schools halting classes to encourage attendance at the parade, a proposal she was wanting to make.
"This is the kind of celebration that should include the whole town," Chain said. "With more attendance, it would
help. This year it's going to require a lot of University cooperation. I'm not only asking them to release students from class, I'm asking them to participate."
All students and student organizations are invited to create floats for the parade at 2:30 p.m. Oct. 1. At the parade, ExC.E.L. award winners will be honored, Terry Allen will address the crowd and the floats will be judged.
Harma said the planning committee was developing new ideas to heighten excitement about the parade, including a tentative tailgate party on the Campanile Hill for the float design winners and displaying the winning floats on the field at halftime.
"We're trying to think of some things this year to make the competition bigger and we're hoping it will create more excitement if you win," she said. "We're hoping to get the two winning floats on the field at the game so people can see them."
Andrea Troutman, vice president of university relations for Student Alumni Association, said additional plans were in the works as well.
"We're trying to work in maybe a bonfire, but we're not really sure yet," she said. "We're talking to the fire department and trying to find a place to have it."
The bonfire is traditionally held before the Kansas State game, but Chain said that this year the committee wanted to bring back the pre-Homecoming bonfire tradition. However, she said she was having trouble finding a place to have it. Historically, the bonfire has been held in the pit behind the south end zone at Memorial Stadium, but because of renovations, the prospects looked grim.
"It used to be a Homecoming tradition that's fizzled out," Chain said. "The University is not too keen on setting a big fire right by the new MegaVision. That's probably not happening."
Nevertheless, she said this year was a stepping stone toward bigger Homecoming festivities in the future.
"I think we're on our way. It's going to take a while to get everyone into Homecoming," Chain said. "Hopefully down the road, we'll get an increase in attendance and entrance into the parade."
Sex, guns, and ballroom dancing

from other classes.
Lenoir said attendance was absolutely mandatory in dance classes because the techniques could not be learned from books outside of class.
“It’s nice to do even though I had no prior experience,” he said. “It was a good experience for me.”
"Learning dance is all about repetition," he said.
On the other side of the spectrum from dance classes is George Lottes' Basic Firearms class. Lottes has taught the class, which allows students to expand their knowledge about
guns, for three semesters. "It's an interesting class for students to take," he said. "A lot of them want to know more about gun safety."
Lottes said that he not only taught his students how to work, clean and operate guns safely, but also that he provided a historic angle in his lectures.

"They learn about historic and modern firearms," he said. "All the guns we use are legal."
Devin Zell, Newstrawn senior, said he would be interested in taking Lottes' class.

"I can see myself in the future going on a hunting trip," he said. "I'd like to have more knowledge because it's been a while since I've handled a weapon."
The class is limited to 20 students per semester and is mainly comprised of men. Lottes said students would receive National Rifle Association certification after passing the class.
"It's not a political class, it's strictly an informational class," he said. "We just help them use guns in a safe manner, not a violent manner."

KU nurse midwife program born in KC
Grant money intended to improve health care
By Amber Stuever
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas School of Nursing has received a $1.3 million grant to develop a graduate nurse midwife program that will be under way in the summer of 2000.
The nursing school will collaborate with the University of Missouri-Kansas City, Fort Hays State Univefsity and Wichita State University to develop the first program of its kind in the state.
Nurse midwife programs already are established in schools such as the universities of Missouri, Colorado, Minnesota and Texas, and have been growing in demand across the nation, said Anne Schorfheide, associate professor at the school and the midwife program director.
She said the school hoped to admit six students to the University's first program.
DeeAnne Urish, a registered nurse in Lawrence, had her two children delivered by nurse midwives and plans to go through the University's nurse midwife program herself in the future.
"I think that the number of midwives is growing, and I think it's just a wonderful opportunity to have a program so close to Lawrence and Kansas," she said.
"We've had an increasing interest in this for some time even before we finalized plans to do this," Schorfheide said.
The grant was financed by the U.S. Health and Resources and Services Administration.
The purpose of the Kansas Collaborative Bi-State Nurse Midwifery Education Program is to improve health care access for underserved populations in the state. According to a KU Medical Center press release, 64 counties in Kansas are designated by the state as medically underserved, leaving many women without prenatal care.
Many Kansas counties struggle with infant mortality rates higher than the national average. For example, Wyandotte County has a death rate of 11.9 deaths per 1,000 births, and Sedgwick County has 9.2 per 1,000.The national rate is 9 per 1,000.
"Midwives have traditionally been effective in working with the underserved areas in changing some of those statistics." Schorfheide said.
Graduates of the program will offer care dealing not only with childbirth, but also with the postpartum period, newborn care, gynecological exams, family planning and primary care. Nurse midwives manage the health care of women and newborns while providing emotional support and empowerment during pregnancy.
"I feel like they treat pregnancy as a normal process and not a sickness, and they really encourage you to learn about yourself and your pregnancy before birth," Urish said.
The program offers options for baccalaureate-prepared nurses and those seeking post-master's education. Full-time students can complete the master's program in two years and the post-master's program in one year.
Starting salaries for nurse midwives are almost double those of a non-specialized nurse, Schorfheide said.
Urish said she was glad there would be a program in Kansas.
I think people are looking really closely at health care these days and managed care, and I think nurse midwifery may be a program women in particular will turn to," she said.

Renovations add homey aspect to dining hall
By Becky Lake
Special to the Kansan
The dining hall of Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall is using a little inductive reasoning in an effort to make eating more homey.
A $200,000 attempt to transform residence hall cafeterias into more comfortable settings began a year ago at GSP-Corbin and will continue throughout the year at Oliver Hall, said Nona Golledge, assistant director for dining services.
"Before, the cafeteria had a pretty institutional, cafeteria
style," Golledge said. "We wanted it to have a restaurant or home feel."
One of the alterations made that already is in service is an induction cooking center, named for the induction heat which cooks food quickly. The cooking center is a place where dishes like stir-fry or pasta can be prepared directly in front of each student.
Phil Garito, associate director for student housing, said that the students could choose the toppings that they wanted on a particular dish.
"The student can walk up to the center and the person serving will cook it on the spot." Garito said.
Golledge said that the induction cooking service was popular at other universities and that it allowed customers to have more control in creating their own meals.
Melissa Green, Overland Park freshman, said that she liked how the induction cooking center differed from pre-prepared foods.
"The food is more like homemade instead of stuff that been
sitting out." she said.
In addition to the induction cooking center, there is a new series of food bars, including a cereal bar, salad bar, dessert bar and hot bar. These bars replace the two horseshoe-shaped serving lines that used to characterize GSP-Corbin's dining hall.
"It was a typical-type serving line," Garito said of the former serving lines.
The new hot bar offers two to four entrees daily, plus the induction cooking center, compared with the two entrees GSP-Corbin used to offer. The new
bars are in the dining area instead of the kitchen, a separation Garito said would be repeated in Oliver.
Garito said that since each bar took about a month to put together, he hoped to have Oliver's drink bar, cereal bar and induction cooking center installed during winter break. GSP-Corbin also will be receiving new carpet, tables and chairs in the seating area. Garito said he also hoped to have these additions to GSP-Corbin installed by winter break.
Oliver's dining hall now sports
new carpeting and new chairs. Garito said that new tables for the hall would be coming any day. This summer, the fluorescent lights in the hall were dropped lower from the ceiling and acoustical panels were installed.
"It makes the room look smaller, warmer and more inviting," Golledge said.
Garito said eventually he hoped to install cubby holes for students' backpacks in GSP-Corbin and Oliver, similar to the ones already installed at Ekdahl Dining Commons on Daisy Hill.
Police back in classroom for FBI training seminar
By Michael Terry writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The men and women who keep Lawrence streets safe played a different role this week.
The Lawrence Police Department in conjunction with the KU Public Safety Office co-sponsored the Ninth Annual Central States Law Enforcement Executive Development Seminar from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day this week at the Alumni Center.
Lt. David Cobb of the Lawrence Police Department said that this seminar was one of only nine that would be held throughout the country this year for departments in smaller towns. Police departments in larger cities are eligible to attend seminars at the FBI training center in Quantico, Va. but smaller departments can not attend.
"We have agents from the FBI training center in Quantico, Va. here to train police chiefs, captains and sheriffs from a five-state area from how to deal with the media to the management of a crisis situation," Cobb said. "The training they will receive here this week is one of the only places where it's available in this area."
Officers from police departments in Colorado, Missouri, Iowa, Oklahoma and Kansas were eligible to attend the Lawrence seminar.
Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office said that during the nine years that the seminar has taken place, it has continued to grow.
"We've had people come from as far away as Wyoming to attend this training seminar, and we
always have more applicants than spots available." Mallen said.
Cobb said that 35 spots were available for this year's seminar, and they received four times as many applications as there were openings.
Cobb said his department did not choose who got to attend the seminar. The FBI looks at the applications, and then decides who should attend, he said.
"The seminar co-sponsored by the LPD and KUPSO has become known as one of the top training programs that's available." Cobb said. "This seminar has graduated over 300 police chiefs, captains and sheriffs over the nine years, and once they leave they know they have received training that will help them in the future."
Capt. Rob Weber of the Leawood Police Department said that he had really enjoyed the training and the hospitality he had received on campus.
"I've learned a lot about leadership, ethics and legal issues that will help me down the road to better understand why certain things take place in the department," Weber said.
"With Allen coming from a small-town background like most of the people attending this seminar we thought he would be able to relate to their experiences," Cobb said.
Cobb said that tonight Kansas football coach Terry Allen would be speaking at their Banquet seminar about leadership, motivation and organizational skills.

Floyd brushes Florida coast, is heading for the Carolinas
The Associated Press
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — A weakened but still terrifying Hurricane Floyd churned its way up the Atlantic coast yesterday, heading on a collision course with the Carolinas after delivering only a glancing blow to Florida.
Its winds howling at 115 mph, Floyd moved north toward the mostly evacuated area between Myrtle Beach and Wilmington, N.C., its tremendous size and power chasing tens of thousands of coastal residents inland in the biggest evacuation in U.S. history.
At 5 p.m. EDT, Floyd was 215 miles south-southwest of Wilmington. The storm center was moving north at 17 mph and was expected to roll ashore around daybreak today.
Altogether, authorities have urged more than 2.6 million people along the southern Atlantic coast to clear out.
In northern and central Florida, Floyd snapped power lines, smashed piers into driftwood and

Hurricane Floyd changed its course after brushing Florida and now is threatening parts of Georgia and the Carolinas.

But Floyd made a northward turn yesterday that spared the state the catastrophic damage many had feared. NASA's Kennedy Space Center and its four shuttles were largely unscathed.
"I know that Florida and Georgia at this point feel like they've dodged a real bullet," said North Carolina's public safety secretary, Richard Moore. "This thing is not going to miss us."
The Carolinas, however, lay directly in the storm's path.
Myrtle Beach, a usually bustling resort, was a virtual ghost town as people fled or stayed indoors, and highways were jammed around Wilmington. In both Carolinas, many hurricane-hardened people who rode out earlier storms left this time.
Terry Hurley, checking into a Wilmington shelter with his wife and two children, said his family stayed home for Hurricanes Fran and Bertha in 1996, but not for Flov.
banned price gouging on essential items, threatening fines up to $100 or 30 days in jail. "All of us — no matter what our means — deserve the same access to lifesaving food and supplies," he said.
"They talk like this one is going to be pretty mean," he said. "It's got everybody shook up."
Myrtle Beach authorities imposed a 3 p.m. curfew and turned off the water supply. The hospital sent its patients inland but kept a doctor and three nurses on emergency duty.
In Beaufort County, at South Carolina's southern tip, an estimated 90 percent of its nearly 120,000 residents heeded the call to evacuate.
"It's like a tomb out here now," said Bud Boyne, a county emergency representative.
North Carolina authorities issued evacuation orders for the barrier islands outside Wilmington and for the Outer Banks, the fragile line of islands that were battered by a lingering Hurricane Dennis last week.
President Clinton, hurrying back from New Zealand to deal with the hurricane, preemptively declared federal disaster areas in South Carolina and North Carolina. He had issued similar declarations Tuesday for Florida and Georgia to allow a rapid start to any recovery efforts.
Commission debates proposed Internet tax
"I think we've done everything we know to do," Clinton said.
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — They may be awash in surpluses now, but state and local officials say they will eventually need to collect sales taxes on billions of dollars in Internet transactions to avoid serious erosion in services such as schools and fire protection.
"Local government and state government cannot operate on an empty tank," Randy Johnson, Republican chairman of the Hennepin, Minn., County Board, told the federal Advisory Commission on Electronic Commerce.
If Internet sales reach $100 billion by 2003, an estimated $4 billion in sales tax would go uncollected because no system exists to do so, said Harley Duncan, director of the Federation of Tax Administrators.
"This is of profound importance to the states," Duncan told the commission, created by Congress to recommend by April a national tax policy for the electronic marketplace.
Opponents, however, say a new tax would slow Internet commerce. They say the economic boom has
Abolishing the Quill standards, say supporters, would protect state revenues and ensure that traditional brick and mortar merchants and Internet companies face the same tax-compliance costs.
Sales taxes are the single largest source of revenue for most states and local governments, amounting to $147 billion in 1997. But under a 1992 U.S. Supreme Court decision known as Quill, a state cannot collect taxes from companies operating outside its boundaries unless the company has some physical presence in that state, such as a store or warehouse.
left the 50 states with a combined $36 billion surplus in 1988.
Although that case involved mailorder sales, it has been interpreted to apply also to Internet transactions. Whether that decision should stand is perhaps the question facing the commission and ultimately Congress.
"It's not a problem now and I don't believe it's going to be a problem in the future," said Dean Andal, a commission member and Republican chairman of the California Board of Equalization. "If you look at state tax revenues now, it's boom time."

European Union votes in newest Commission
Parliament warns of executive monitor to protect promises
But despite giving its strong backing, Parliament warned it will monitor the EU executive closely to ensure it does not stray from its promises.
The Associated Press
STRASBOURG, France—The European Union closed a dark chapter of fraud scandals and financial wrongdoing by approving a new executive Commission yesterday. The incoming team promised a new era of openness and transparency.
Commission President Romano Prodi said he will strive during the next five years to bring his administration closer to the Union's citizens, and to cooperate fully with the EU Parliament that voted his team into office.
an overwhelming majority of EU deputies voted in favor of the new Commission - of 591 voters in the 626-member assembly, 414 backed Prodi's team. A total of 142 voted against, and 35 abstained.
Parliament has shown it is determined to play a stronger role in EU affairs since the outgoing commissioners resigned en masse last March after a report uncovered widespread mismanagement in their offices.
Socialist leader Enrique Baron Crespo
said regaining the confidence of EU citizens should now be the main goal of the Commission and the Parliament.
"We have to ensure that we can take the same road together to find the trust that we had before from the citizens," Baron Crespo said. The Socialists have 180 members in Parliament.
Prodi pledged to take into account any legislation put forward by the Parliament. He also promised to consider any complaints the Parliament may have against his commissioners in the future.
Until the institutional crisis erupted, the Parliament's voice had gone largely unheard in EU affairs.
Earlier this month, Prodi's 19 commissioners sat through grueling parliamentary hearings during which they took questions on their moral integrity and political responsibility.
The Parliament has limited powers. For example, it has the power to bring down the Commission but cannot reject individual commissioners.
The commissioners recently published a list of their assets and of their professional activities outside the Commission.
The executive body runs the EU's day-to-day business and proposes Union policy, although most of its decisions need the approval of the 15 member nations.
Prodi has said economic growth, employment and the EU's future expansion will top his Commission's agenda. Ten eastern European countries, Cyprus and Malta have applied for EU membership. These countries are expected to join the Union during the next decade.
NASA to help with new air scooter
The Associated Press
SANTA CLARA, Calif.— It almost sounds too futuristic to be true, but NASA and a Silicon Valley engineer are developing a one-person air scooter that can buzz far above gridlocked streets.
dream is becoming a reality."
"It's an exciting time for all of us involved in this monumental project," said Michael Moshier, an aerospace engineer and former Navy combat pilot who founded Millennium Jet Inc. "We have all been dreaming of such a vehicle for many years, and now the
Moshier has spent more than three years and close to $1 million on his personal flying machine, which can be seen on the company's Web site at www.solotrek.com. For now, it looks like something out of a Jetsons cartoon. But officials at NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, Calif., said there's nothing funny about the SoloTrek Exo-Skeletor Flying Vehicle. Plans call for it to go up to 80 mph, climb as high as 10,000 feet and get about 20 miles per gallon of regular gasoline.
"We are genuinely interested in the long-term possibilities for enabling personal vertical flight," said NASA's Aeromechanics branch chief Bill Warmbrodt.
As part of an agreement that was to be formally announced today, NASA will provide engineering, technology and testing, while Millennium Jet will build and eventually market the craft.
To fly a SoloTrek, the pilot stands on two footrests, leans on a sliding backrest and grips handles that control the tilt and speed of Hula Hoop-sized air ducts blowing air at about 45 mph.
Africa finds itself losing battle to AIDS
The Associated Press
LUSAKA, Zambia — AIDS, not war, has turned Africa into a killing field and will wipe out enough adults to create 13 million orphans in the next 18 months, the United Nations children's agency said yesterday.
Such cataclysmic statements at the 11th international AIDS in Africa conference were aimed at prodding African governments — which spend more on defense than on health — to act against the scourge of the continent.
Africa is home to two-thirds of the world's 31 million HIV-infected people. Last year, AIDS killed 2 million Africans, outstripping deaths from armed conflicts on the continent 10-1, said the UNICEF children's fund.
In 15 years, AIDS has killed 11 million
"By any measure, the HIV-AIDS pandemic is the most terrible undeclared war in the world, with the whole of sub-Saharan Africa a killing field," UNICEF executive director Carol Bellamy said on the conference's third day.
Africans, more than 80 percent of the world's AIDS deaths.
Ninety percent of the world's AIDS orphans live in Africa, and most suffer alarmingly higher rates of malnutrition, stunting and illiteracy, UNICEF said. They often die of neglect and are victimized by the stigma surrounding the disease.
The number of child-headed households in rising sharply the UNICEF report said
In many southern African nations up to 25 percent of adults are infected with the AIDS virus — the highest prevalence in the world. In Zambia alone, 90,000 AIDS orphans have been left to fend for themselves on the streets.
Lack of AIDS education is part of the problem, the group said.
More than a quarter of adolescent women south of the Sahara — the group most at risk from infection with the HIV virus that causes AIDS — were unaware of any effective way of avoiding the disease, research has shown. In southern Africa, more than 30 percent of young women thought a healthy-looking person could not be a carrier.
The threat has been worsened, Bellamy said, by the lack of commitment from political leaders to fight AIDS.

Stadium bonus probably will be paid
By Mike Miller
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Because of problems beyond anyone's control, the deadline for the completion of Memorial Stadium has been moved again, said Pat Warren, assistant athletics director.
Originally, there were two deadlines that needed to be met for Walton Construction Co. to receive the $300,000 bonus: Aug. 13 and Sept. 20. When Walton ran behind, the University of Kansas accommodated by extending the first deadline to Aug. 31.
A second deadline, the final completion date for the stadium, has been
moved from Sep. 20 to sometime in the middle of October. Officials have not specified when, but they have said the money will still be paid.
"We haven't made the final decision to pay the bonus or not, but I'm assuming we'll pay it because it did what it was supposed to do, which was make sure it got done before the middle of November," said Warren Corman, University architect.
Simply put, the University had to pay the bonus to ensure the completion of the stadium — even though a liquidated damages clause was written into the contract.
Lawyers familiar with construction litigation said the clause was basically
a substitution for a court process, intended to assist the owner, in this case the University, with recouping any damages incurred. Both sides would agree in advance how much the owner would lose by the delayed construction, and what kind of penalties would incur if that happened.
It probably does not include the renovations on the stadium because it is a contract provision that would exclude certain delays such as weather or labor — both of which occurred during the construction of the stadium.
In February, construction was behind schedule because sand was washed away, which had to be replaced with concrete. In late August,
a one-day strike because of labor disputes slowed work.
So the University, agreeing with Walton that some problems were beyond its control, probably will pay the bonus because of excusable delays that occurred.
The money spent allowed for the use of the press box and scholarship suites Saturday.
"There were no significant problems and response was great," said Bob Frederick, athletics director. "There's just some typical punch-list type items that need to be done."
Items that Warren said will be done by the middle of October or sooner.

Volleyball team defeats Shockers
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
There was no letdown this time. The Kansas volleyball team, coming off two heartbreaking losses last weekend, got back on the winning track last night against the Wichita State Shockers at the Horeksi Family Athletics Center. The Jayhawks swept the Shockers 15-10, 15-2 and 15-8, and improved to 6-2 on the season.
"It was an efficient win," said Kansas coach Ray Bechard. "We wanted to come out and play with a little more energy, but it's good to get a 'W' regardless of how it looks." Last weekend, Kansas blew leads for in its to Texas Christian and Auburn at the Hampton Inn Jayhawk Classic. Early in the match last night, Wichita State looked as if it were going to prolong the Jayhawks' two-game losing streak.
The Shockers started with a flurry by jumping out to a 6-1 lead in the first game, but there was a sudden change in momentum after the Jayhawks took a time-out to regroup.
The Jayhawks scored 10 of the next 11 points and went on to capture the game, 15-10. Junior outside hitter Amy Myrt picked up seven kills, senior middle blocker
Amanda Reves picked up five kills, and senior middle blocker Anne Kreimer chipped in with three kills.
"After a slow start in game one, we found a level that we needed to play at." Bechard said.
The Jayhawks took their play to another level during the second and third games. Kansas scored the first 10 points of the second game to cruise to a 15-2 win. Wichita State put up a fight in the third game but eventually fell to the Jayhawks, 15-8
"I think it was a solid showing of our consistency," Reves said. "Wichita State is not a real challenging team, but we played at a level we're happy with."
Reves led the Jayhawks with 14 kills and 26 total attacks. Myatt had 12 kills for the night, while Albrecht and junior outside hitter Danielle Geronymo both had eight kills apiece. Sophomore setter Molly LaMere recorded 47 assists.
"We played really well, and we were more consistent than last weekend," LaMere said. "This gives us a little more confidence heading into our next match."
The Jayhawks will be in action again this weekend when they play in the Tennessee Tournament in Knoxville, Tenn. Kansas will face off against Lehigh, Eastern Michigan and Tennessee.

Mascot worries Winbush, not Colorado defenders

His 268-yard performance against the Buffaloos last year was a large part of Kansas' 33-17 upset win. The diminutive running back ran roughshod against the Buffaloos for three touchdowns, including touchdown runs of 38 yards and 65 yards. It served as a breakout game for Winbush, who finished among the league leaders in rushing yards and touchdowns.
Colorado will be gunning for David Winbush.
When the Jayhawks travel to Boulder, Colo., to play Colorado on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. (channels 9 and 49; 105.9 FM and 1320 AM), stopping Winbush will be a part of the game plan. But it's not the Buffaloes he's worried about.
It's Ralphie, the 825-pound buffalo that is Colorado's team mascot, that worries him.
"It almost ran me over my freshman year," he said. "They can't stop that thing. Those four guys with the ropes? It

Wegner's job may be on line in Colorado
Zac Wegner will speak today
As it is, Wegner and Smith have been sharing duties, with Wegner starting and Smith — accompanied by more crowd support — appearing in relief at later stages in the game.
The Kansas quarterback might talk about cowboy boots or being a communications major, but his 11 a.m. persuasive speaking class would be the perfect time to convince his foes and fans that he is still the Jayhawk's top signal caller.
A big debate exists about that right now. Dylen Smith, a junior college transfer, has fans looking forward to next year, when he will be the starter. Many would love to see Smith playing full-time now with Wegner wasting his final season on the sideline.
Until Wegner is carried off the field, he should be the leader on it. For the past two seasons, Kansas coach Terry Allen has been faithful to Wegner, and for good reason. He has done nothing to be diminished to second-string status. The team has struggled, but placing all
There are only two groups, athletes and smokers, who can understand what Wegner is going through. Wegner sat out a few games last season because of two miserable concussions suffered in consecutive games, but he couldn't quit football cold-turkey even though he knows the long-term risks.

Jason Franchuk sports columnist sports@kaman.com
the blame on one player is scatterbrained.
Wegner probably will not speak of football or his controversy this morning. He spends enough time after practices and games gracefully answering questions about Smith, cordially saying what a good player the newcomer is. He notes, emphatically, that the competition is making him better.
Wegner will start again Saturday and parlay passes at Colorado. A poor outing by him and a solid one by Smith, who Allen guaranteed will see playing time, could mean the end of Wegner as Kansas' starter.
There have been comments around campus that the Jayhawks, who went 4-7 last year and are currently 1-1, do not believe in Wegner. Ironic how that team of supposed disbelievers voted Wegner one of its captains for a second year.
Still, Wegner has played well when it was most urgent: Touchdown scoreboard at Notre Dame: Wegner 2, Smith 0.
The media, this publication included, have credited Smith beyond reason. A headline Monday in the Kansan suggested that Smith led the Jayhawks to last Saturday's victory against California State-Northridge. However, it was Wegner who created the comfortable lead that Smith could nestle in. Smith threw three touchdown passes to Wegner's zero.
Speak now Zac, or forever hold your peace.
For now, Wegner must give the greatest oration of his life with his arm Saturday. If he fails, Smith could be married to the starting role.
Allen is itching to play Smith more as the season progresses, so Wegner needs to beat the Buffaloes to ensure he'll start the following week.
Allen is doing wrong by playing both right now. Yes, Smith eventually will get plenty of snaps. He has a pleasant personality, an infectious smile and an even livelier arm that will help Kansas next year and quite possibly give the team more options because of his ability to scramble
Wegner might be knocked out sometime this season, because a couple of concussions usually mean more will follow. Or he will struggle. Then, Allen can bench Wegner without criticism and start gearing toward next season when Kansas might contend for a bowl game.

Winbush has 'escapability' factor
Continued from page 10A
Winbush, 5-foot-7 and 185 pounds,
was a one-man stampede. He averaged almost 10 yards per carry and was named ESPN's offensive player of the week.
"People have been underestimating me my whole life," Winbush said. "Except for my teammates, people have always underestimated me. I think it's because 'I'm the small guy.'
isn't as good as a larger running back.
As a senior at Killeen High School in Killeen, Texas, Winbush led the state in rushing yards and touchdowns. He also was a first-team All-State selection.
But it's never been his production that was the problem. It's been the pounding that a body his size can take week after week. There is a point at which his durability just
"Would I want him to run the ball thirty times a game? No." Coach Terry Allen said. "But I wouldn't mind getting him twenty touches a game."
That's because Winobin has what Allen calls "escapability," the ability to elude would-be tacklers.
This was apparent Saturday during the second quarter of the Cal State Northridge game, Winbush caught a pass from quarterback Dylen Smith, zig-zagged down the sideline, slowed down a bit, moved his hips left, then right, and left a Northridge player grabbing at air.
"You try to tackle those little guys, and they break your ankles," said Dion Rayford, defensive end.
This year the team voted Winbush
most competitive.
"I just want to be in there and make plays," Winbush said. "I never want to come out of the game."
Winbush ran for a team-high 77 yards against Notre Dame. Last week, he almost doubled that, rushing for 134 yards. It vaulted him into 15th on the all-time Kansas rushing list, passing Eric Vann and Ray Evans. As a junior, he has a shot at being one of the top three rushers in Kansas history — if he can average 1,000 yards per season for the next two years.
But reaching 1,000 yards is sort of an unwritten goal for Winbush.
"I'm not really concentrating on it, but it is a goal," he said.

said. "You're going to lose some games, especially with the schedule we play, so we've just got to make sure that when we do lose we bounce back quickly."
Schroeder said that she agreed and that she thought the team had solved some of the problems that have slowed it on the field. She also said she thought the team needed to rekindle the spark in its on-field mentality.
"We obviously take into consideration the losses that we've had, and from watching the games that we did lose, we practiced from that and tried to fix the mistakes that we've made," Schroeder said. "[We need to] try to have high intensity the whole time, and, hopefully, we can bring that out in the games."

Baylor makes crucial errors
Sports
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
The Baylor Bears are hoping to break into the win column after losing close football games.
One week after losing its season opener 30-29 to Boston College by missing an extra point in overtime, Baylor made a controversial play-calling decision and a crucial fumble on the last play of the game that ultimately led to a 27-24 loss to UNLV on Saturday.
With four seconds left in the game and the Bears leading the Runnin' Rebels 24-21, Baylor coach Kevin Steele elected to have running back Darrell Bush try for one final touchdown, as opposed to simply having quarterback Jermaine Alfred kneel and run the clock out.
As Bush hit a wall of UNLV defenders at the goal line, the football was stripped from Bush's arms and returned 99 yards by Rebel defensive back
Kevin Thomas for the winning touchdown.
BU
touchdown.
After the game, Steele was quick to accept the blame for the gaffe.
"It all rests right here," he said, pointing to himself. "It will go down as one of the great Why did you do it?" questions."
This week, however, Steele has been quick to defend his decision.
"Whether people agree or disagree with my decision is not the point." Steele said Monday. "It's an attitude thing, and the kids wanted to score. We called a time-out right before to make sure it was a safe play."
Steele also said he was aware of the extreme unlikelyhood of a fumble occurring, given the circumstances at the time.
"One coach told me I had a better chance of winning the Texas lottery than have that happen to me," Steele said.
Steele and the Bears will test their lottery-caliber luck again Saturday night at Oklahoma when they take on the Sooners in Norman, Okla.
Nebraska
Fallout continued yesterday from the bombshell news that Nebraska coach Frank Solich dropped Tuesday at his weekly press conference.
At the conference, Solich announced that running back DeAngelo Evans had quit the team and that Eric Crouch would be the full-time starter at quarterback for the Cornhuskers. Previously,

Crouch had been in competition with Bobby Newcombe, who since has moved to wing back, during the first two games of Nebraska's season. In those games, Nebraska defeated Iowa 42-7 and California 45-0 on its way to a current No. 4 ranking in the most recent Associated Press poll.
Solich said just because there were some recent changes in his team, it didn't mean that Nebraska was a program in turmoil.
"There isn't a unity or a chemistry problem," Solich said. "As I see it, our team is very unified. Turmoll shows on Saturdays, and I don't see where that showed on either Saturday."
Solich said that he chose Crouch as the starter because of his performance the previous two weeks and that both Crouch and Newcombe had handled the decision with grace.

"They came through some hard times, but both have handled it well," Solich said. "We talked a great deal about the situation, and we think this is going to be the best thing for the team."
Red Raider running back Ricky Williams didn't participate in practice this week because he was in his home town of Ducanville, Texas, visiting his hospitalized mother, Diane.

Sale ends Schott's 15 years with Reds
Future of Royals Athletics still left to be determined
The Associated Press
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y.— Marge Schott's rocky 15-year reign as owner of the Cincinnati Reds ended yesterday when baseball approved the $67 million sale of the team to her limited partners.
On a day of big change, owners also voted to merge the administrative operations of the American and National leagues and put off the sales of the Kansas City Royals and Oakland Athletics, citing the uncertain futures of baseball's small-market teams.
They unanimously approved the sale of a controlling interest in the Reds from Schott, who repeatedly has infuriated baseball with inflammatory statements about minorities and women, to Carl Lindner, who owns the Great American Insurance Co.
The deal, in which 36.7 percent of the Reds' shares change hands, values the franchise at $181.8 million. George Strike and William Reik, two of the Reds' current limited partners, are helping fund Lindner's bid.
Schott couldn't be reached for comment, and Lindner, who attended the meeting, also declined comment.
Owners also unanimously approved a resolution calling on
their lawyers to redraft the Major League Agreement, which governs baseball, to merge the AL and NL in all areas but on the field, where the leagues and divisions will remain unchanged for now.
"Baseball took a very historical step today that it had to do," Selig said.
Since the NL began in 1876 and the AL in 1900, each league ran its own affairs. But the commissioner's office, founded in 1920, has taken an increasing active role, especially since 1984, when Peter Ueberroth had the leagues move into the same building.
AL president Gene Budig, who did not attend Selig's news conference, was offered the job of senior vice president under Selig in charge of educational and government affairs. There was no word if he would accept it.
Interleague play, which began in 1997, provided further impetus. Under the change, umpires, scheduling and player discipline will switch to the commissioner's office, subject to collective bargaining with players and umpires.
NL president Len Coleman, concluding his job had become irrelevant, announced his resignation effective at the end of the World Series and will become a senior adviser to commissioner Bud Selig.
"The role of league president has become like a Studebaker — a good ride while it lasted." Coleman said.
"Frankly, the system was an anachronism." Selig said.
The owners voted 28-2 to table the $122.4 million sale of the A's to a
group headed by Save Mart Foods chairman Bob Picciniin, and 29-1 to table the $75 million sale of the Royals to a group headed by Miles Prentice.
Only Oakland and the Chicago Cubs voted against the motion to table to the A's sale. The Royals were the only vote.

Hofmann expires; if it doesn't close, by

Monday, and his group seemed
stunned.
"As far as I'm concerned, we're out of it," Picincini said. "Unless the present owners put an extension on it, we're dead meat."
Prentice, a New York investor, agreed last Nov. 13 to buy the Royals for from a trust that acquired the franchise following the death of founder Ewing Kauffman in 1993. Since spring, management officials have said they were concerned his bid had too many people and not enough money.
"I was hopeful we would be approved," Prentice said. "We were not rejected. They did not turn us down. That's the important thing."
Selig said no action would be taken on the A's and Royals until after the owners' economic study committee, appointed last January, makes its report. He said the sales weren't approved because he wasn't convinced the deals would ensure the survival of the franchises in their cities for a couple of generations.
However, baseball's economics are unlikely to change until after the 2001 season at the earliest, when the sport's labor agreement with players probably will expire. The economic study committee does not
ensure the players association, which is expected to reject its findings.
The proposed sale of the Montreal Expos from Claude Brochu's group to a group headed by New York art dealer effrey Loria also wasn't
considered. The team and the commissioner's office agreed Friday not to put it to a vote.
Montreal's situation is tied to a new ballpark. Government officials have promised to back $67 million in bonds with $5.3 million in annual revenue from a tourism fund, but baseball says the financing must be completed before it will approve a sale.
"Everything has to be signed,
sealed and delivered." Brochu said.
While a group in northern Virginia has been interested in buying the Expos, Selig said his first choice was to keep the team in Montreal.
"This saga is looking like 'Gone with the Wind,' except we don't have Scarlett O'Hara or Rhett Butler to play in it." Selig said.
Owners originally intended to meet for two days but cut it short, concerned about getting home with Hurricane Floyd heading north.
De La Hoya, however, made it clear that he doesn't think Trinidad is the better man. He doesn't even think the 26-year-old Puerto Rican (35-0, 30 knockouts) is as good as Ike Quartey, whom De La Hoya beat on a split decision Feb. 13.

Arum says no to bet on Trinidad match
The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — Don King hurled a $1 million challenge to rival promoter Bob Arum yesterday and got a scolding in return.
Trinidad predicts he will win by a knockout, but won't predict a round. His father-trainer, Felix Sr., says it will be the sixth round.
"If Bob Arum will accept, I will bet $1 million that Tito will win this fight," bellowed King, the promoter of IBF welterweight champion Felix "Tito" Trinidad, who on Saturday night will fight WBC champion Oscar De La Hoya, promoted by Arum.
"Don King has challenged me, and I have to say something from the bottom of my heart," Arum retorted. "It's totally inappropriate for promoters or managers to bet on a boxing match. In 35 years in boxing, I've never bet on a fight."
Trinidad, who doesn't speak English, admits to being angered when De La Hoya said some time ago that, "I'm not worth $10 million. That's an insult. How can he say I'm not worth $10 million? I'm worth that and more."
For those who do bet on fights, De La Hoya was a 6-5 favorite to win the most anticipated w尔terweight championship match since WBC champion Sugar Ray Leonard stopped WBA champion Thomas Hearns in the 14th round Sept. 16, 1981, at Caesars Palace.
Then Arum taunted, "Don,
don't you understand that
putting Felix Trinidad in the
ring with Oscar De La Hoya is
risking more than $1 million?"
"I know like all my fights it will be a very tough one, but I
The popularity of De La Hoya,
a Mexican American who grew up in East Los Angeles, is the reason Trinidad is getting $10 million, by far his biggest purse. De La Hoya, who has had $9 million paydays, is guaranteed $15 million.
Both fighters have exchanged barbs, but De La Hoya said there was no animosity on his part.
"I'm thinking it's just another fight," he said. "That's how focused I am."
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—The manager of Randie Carver's opponent in Sunday's fatal fight raised questions yesterday about a potential conflict of interest involving Carver's ties to the referee.
Opponent's manager cites possible conflict of interest, says fight needed to be stopped
The Associated Press
"He should have stopped the fight. It's that simple," said Scott Massoud, the Brooklyn, N.Y.-based manager of Kabary Salem, who knocked out Carver in the 10th round of Sunday's 12-round North American Boxing Federation title fight.
Ross Strada, who has acknowledged a close friendship with Carver, has come under fire for not stopping the fight soon enough.
Carver, 24, died Tuesday, two days after emergency brain surgery. An official cause of death has been determined, but relatives requested the information not be disclosed.
Carver, who was repeatedly headbutted in the early rounds of the fight, fell sluggishly to the canvas in the 10th round after taking an overhand right and a straight left from Salem. He tried on four occasions to get up, but could not even get up on his knees.
After referee Strada ruled a knockout, Carver's eyes appeared
Officials with Missouri's Office of Athletics — which oversees boxing in the state and licenses referees — have found "no cause for disciplining the fighters, the referee, the promoter or the matchmakers," said Jim Gardner, a spokesman for the state's Department of Economic Development, which oversees the athletics office.
to roll back in his head, and he lost consciousness. He was rushed to the hospital after paramedics worked on him for about 20 minutes in the ring, but he never appeared to regain consciousness.
Earlier, Strada said Carver looked exhausted in the middle rounds. In the eighth round, Carver looked noticeably tired, and had a hard time getting off the ropes when Salem pushed him.
Carver's supporters were upset by the head butts. Salem was penalized twice in the early rounds for holding, but he was not warned about head-butting.
Strada, whose phone number is unlisted and could not be reached yesterday by The Associated Press, has disputed the number of head butts in the fight and said if there had been something excessive, he would have stopped the bout.
"There weren't 20 hard punches thrown in the fight," Strada said Monday. "I've never seen Randie that physically out of shape. But I can't call a fight because a fighter is tired. That's the job of [the fighter's] corner."
Massoud, who said Salem has been crying and praying since the news of Carver's death, said Carver's friendship with Strada
"If he had stopped the fight and Randie lost, due to the stoppage, he would have been blamed for his loss," Massoud said. "And that's something the referee didn't want. I'm not bad-mouthing [Strada], but we could've been out of there a lot sooner."
Ross Strada
"There weren't 20 hard punches thrown in the fight. I've never seen Randie that physically out of shape."
"He's had tough fights back to back," Kansas City referee Danny Campbell, who has seen a tape of the fight, told The Kansas City Star. "I think he's had too many rough fights."
Fight referee
Strada's claims that Carver appeared tired were underscored by concerns that Carver came into the bout a fatigued fighter, worn out by a series of rough fights — seven matches in the last 11 months.
created a dangerous conflict of interest. Had he known of the friendship before the fight, Massoud said he would have been a little more boisterous in trying to stop the bout.
Before Sunday's fight, Carver had fought twice since winning the NABF super-middleweight title in a 12-round decision May 23. His record was 23-0-1 before the bout.
NABF president Sam Macias said the federation would work with any investigation by state regulators.
It is not unusual, Macias said, for referees to handle bouts involving friends.
Macias, whose group brought two outside judges to Sunday's bout because the fight was held in Carver's home area, said it is up to the state's Office of Athletics to pick referees.
"If you're boxing in a hometown, with gyms being where refres will go to keep their skills up and referee sparring matches, they become friends," Macias said. "I don't think it affects their judgment."
A spokeswoman for Harrah's North Kansas City Casino, which hosted Sunday's televised fight, said the casino was re-evaluating its plans to hold future bouts.
Frank Brancato, a lawyer with a Kansas City firm representing Carver's family, refused to comment yesterday except to say his firm was preparing for an initial investigation into the case.

Greene wants Olympic gold
The Associated Press
TOKYO — Sprinter Maurice Greene added to his growing list of victories yesterday in the 100-meter dash at the Super Track and Field meet.
Greene, who won three golds at the World Championships last month, edged fellow American Curtis Johnson and promptly looked to the future.
"My main focus is to win the Olympic gold," Greene said. "That comes first, not a record. Right now, I have a goal of 9.76 and the coach said I am capable of running faster but I take small steps at a time. The most important thing is to win the Olympic gold. That's something I haven't done and I
want to do."
The world-record holder won yesterday in 10.35 seconds in a competition geared toward fun.
Now that the season has ended for Greene, he'll go home to rest and visit his grandmother in Kansas.
His season included keeping the world record with a time of 9.79 seconds.
"I am happy I had a very good year." he said.
"This is a dream come true," he said on his status as the world's fastest runner. "Now I can say I was a No. 1 once. Records are made to be broken and anything can happen in a 100-meter. I am thankful and try to be the best. I believe I am the best and as long as I keep
beneving in myself, I can improve myself."
In the 100-meter hurdles, American Larry Wade edged world-record holder Colin Jackson with a time of 13.50 seconds. Jackson placed second in 13.55 seconds with Japan's Satoru Mizuno third in 13.95.
Kazuhiko Yamazaki of Japan won the 400-meter hurdles in 48.98 seconds, followed by Joey Woody who finished second in 49.16. His fellow American Torrence Zellener was third.
Bulgarian Petya Pendareva swept the 100- and 200-meter races. Pendareva took the 200 meters in 23.27, before winning the 100 meters in 11.36 seconds.
Schedule helps Johnson, Jones
The Associated Press
LONDON — Michael Johnson and Marion Jones have been given the chance to win multiple gold medals at next year's Sydney Olympics.
Under the long-delayed competition schedule approved for track and field events in Sydney, Johnson will be able to attempt a repeat of his historic Olympic double in the 200 and 400 meters, and Jones can bid for an unprecedented five golds.
The schedule released yesterday also allows for tries at doubles by spinner Maurice Greene, the world champion in the 100 and 200; Ethiopia's Haile Gebrselassie, world and Olympic champion at 10,000 and world record-holder at 5,000; and Russia's Svetlana Masterkova, the 1996 Olympic champion in the 800 and 1.500.
The International Amateur Athletic Federation, the sport's governing body, arranged the schedule specifically so top stars could compete in more than one event.
In Atlanta, Johnson became the first man in history to complete a
double, setting a world record in the 200 in the process. After two relatively modest seasons, At last month's W o r l d Championships in Seville, Spain, Johnson broke the 11-year-old world record in the 400.
A. M.
Johnson said his next goal is to defend both titles in Sydney, where he could face Greene in a highly anticipated 200-meter showdown.
Johnson: Has chance of multiple golds in Sydney
Jones, meanwhile, has said she intends to win a record five gold medals: in the 100, 200, long jump and both relays. She won the 100 in Seville, but her bid for four golds was dashed when she settled for bronze in the long jump, her weak
est event. Jones' season came to an end when she collapsed with back spasms in the 200 semifinals.
Track and field events in Sydney will be held from Sept. 22 to Oct.1, with a day off on Sept. 26.
The timetable allows at least one rest day between semifinals and finals of races of 800 meters and more, and the 400 meter hurdles. A rest day was also incorporated between the qualification rounds and finals of jumping events.
"This schedule protects the rights of the'athletes to compete at the highest level without incurring any risks to their health, while offering spectators a balanced distribution of finals throughout the nine days of competition," IAAF president Primo Nebiolo said in a statement yesterday.
The schedule was approved Tuesday in Monte Carlo, Monaco, by the IAAF's technical delegates and representatives of the Sydney organizing committee (SOCOG), ending a protracted dispute between the two sides.
Daly loses endorsement deal, sobriety
The Associated Press
John Daly walked out of alcohol rehabilitation two years ago and found a father figure in Ely Callaway, who offered Daly a second chance as long as he stayed away from the addictions that sabotaged his talented but troubled career.
Callaway severed his relationship with Daly on yesterday, saying the former PGA and British Open champion reneged on his deal not to drink or gamble and then turned down an offer for help.
"We care a great deal about John as a person, the golfer and a friend," said the 80-year-old chairman of Callaway Golf. "Regrettably, we cannot continue to have John as a company representative when he is not prepared to take the future steps that we feel are necessary to deal with the alcohol and gambling problems facing him."
Daly was returning from Callaway headquarters in
Carlsbad, Calif., to his home in Arkansas and couldn't be reached for comment. His agent, John Mascatello, referred questions to a statement posted on Daly's Web site — gripitandripit.com.
"My commitment to live a sober life remains strong." Daly said. "Alcoholism is a disease which will continue to challenge me the rest of my life. I accept the difficulties presented and hope that I will overcome whatever obstacles I face."
Daly, who says he started drinking when he was 8, first went through alcohol rehabilitation in Arizona at the end of the 1992. He returned to win the British Open at St. Andrews in 1995. Two years later, he trashed a hotel room after a drinking binge during The Players Championship, and it cost him. Wilson Sports canceled its contract, and Daly's second wife filed for divorce.
Callaway took him on when everyone else abandoned ship, putting its Big Bertha products
into the hands of a player who has led the PGA Tour in driving distance every year but one since 1991.
Daly's recovery has been very public, some of it chilling. He walked on the course midway through the second round of the 97 U.S. Open without so much as telling his caddie. He later said he had the shakes.
And last year in Vancouver, Daly got the shakes so bad on the 15th hole in the first round that he cried uncontrollably. He gathered himself, made the par nut and finished the round.
In 19 events this year, Daly has missed the cut seven times, withdrawn four times and finished in the top 50 only four times.
He has shown glimpses of his skill, though. He had a 68 in the first round of the U.S. Open and was one off the lead. By Sunday, the other Daly showed up. Frustrated by the domed greens of Pinehurst No. 2, Daly swatted a moving ball with his putter and took an 11 on the par-4 eighth hole.

Russia perturbed by lack of security inside Kosovo
The Associated Press
Col. Gen. Leonid Ivashov complained on Tuesday that no efforts were being made to return Yugoslav security personnel to Kosovo, as provided for in the agreement that ended the NATO bombing against Yugoslavia.
PRISTINA, Yugoslavia—The most recent attack on Serbs in Kosovo is likely to fuel Russian criticism of the international role in the province and accusations that peacekeepers are only protecting Albanians.
Ivashov, chief of the Defense Ministry's international cooperation department, said Western peacekeepers are protecting only ethnic Albanians, a charge often
"As a result, the borders of Kosovo remain open, and Albanians who did not live in Kosovo before easily cross into the region," Ivashov said in Moscow. "Weapons and drugs also keep coming into Kosovo."
repeated by the government of Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic.
The Russians are expected to press those objections in talks with U.N. chief representative Bernard Kouchner, who was to arrive in Moscow today for a two-day visit.
NATO reported Tuesday that gunmen fired on a convoy of Serbs returning to their homes in the U.S. sector of the province, killing one and wounding two others.
The Serb convoy was fired on Monday afternoon east of the village of Ranilug, in a part of eastern Kosovo patrolled by American and Russian troops, NATO said in a brief statement.
The Serbs had tried to return home without a military escort, NATO said.
The Ranilug area has been the scene of sharp ethnic tension. On Sept. 6, Russian troops killed three Serbs there after they refused to stop beating a wounded
ethnic Albanian and instead fired at the peacekeepers. Serb villages in the area have been targeted by sporadic mortar fire.
Also, two Montenegrins women f were found dead Monday in their home in the western city of Pec according to a NATO statement. No further details were released.
Since NATO peacekeepers arrived here June 12, Serbs, Montenegrins, Gypsies and others have been targeted by ethnic Albanians seeking revenge for Yugoslavia's bloody 18-month crackdown in Kosovo. The crackdown ended when Milosevic accepted a peace plan to halt NATO's bombing.
In Washington, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright urged Kosovo's Albanians to combat the temptations of revenge, corruption and crime.
"You must do everything you can to prevent the killing, terrorizing and expulsion of Serbs and other minorities," she said.

SANTIAGO, Chile—Saying that the pain of those who suffered was not alien to him, former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet for the first time publicly expressed regret for the violence during his regime.
In a letter sent from the London residence where he remains in custody, Pinochet wrote in unusual terms for a dictator whose regime left a legacy of 3:197 political murders.
The letter, which was released Tuesday, was dated Sept. 11, the 26th anniversary of the bloody military coup in which Pinochet toppled Marxist President Salvador Allende.
"The pain of those who suffered was not alien to me in the past, nor now." Pinochet wrote. "I lament all the situations of belligerence and acts of violence that caused them."
Pinochet was arrested in London 11 months ago on a warrant from a Spanish judge who wants to try him for abuses during his 1973-90 dictatorship.
His words appeared to signal support for a weekly dialogue on human rights that Chile's government is sponsoring. A central goal is to determine the fate of some 1,000 people who were detained in Pinochet's
security service and then disappeared.
Pinochet wrote that he was making these reflections under especially difficult circumstances, as a result of his continued detention. Still, Pinochet wrote he is prepared from a distance, to join current efforts by all sectors for the sake of national unity.
Pinochet and the military have insisted they have no information on those who disappeared. But Pinoctet said in the letter he was convinced the military would make all necessary efforts to contribute to unity among Chileans, and called the dialogue an encouragement to heal wounds of the past.
Senate President Andres Zaldivar, to whom Pinochet mailed the letter, said it was an appeal to any military officers with information on the missing to step forward. Critics dismissed the letter, saying the only important thing now was information on the missing detainees.
Also Tuesday, Spain rejected a Chilean proposal for an arbitration papel to review Pinochet's detention.
Pinochet has been under arrest since last October on a warrant from Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzon. Spain wants to extradite him to its territory for trial. A hearing on the request is to begin Sept. 27.
Garzon indicted Pinochet on charges of genocide, terrorism and torture and said that under international law these crimes can be prosecuted anywhere.
And in Santiago Tuesday, local media reported that the leader of the secret police during Pinochet's regime has been indicted in the 1982 killing of a prominent labor leader.
the judge handling the case, Sergio Munoz, would not confirm or deny reports that he indicted retired Gen. Humberto Gordon and ordered him arrested for the killing of Tucapel Jimenez.

Odd couple Cibo Matto breaks pop music stereotypes
By Bryan Anderson Kansan music critic
Milo Hatori and Yuka Honda, members of the duo Cibo Matto, are odd, and they have no problem with it. Their debut CD, the ambitious Viva La Woman, is a cornucopia of pop, hardcore, funk and samples, with songs about knowing your chicken and a lyrical preoccupation with food.
Their latest release, Stereo Type A is no less ambitious and no less odd, but the CD's quirkiness shows that the duo has improved its songwriting skills. Hatori and Honda have added their touring band to the recording process. The band includes Timo Ellis and Sean Lennon. This album, when compared to their debut, sounds well rounded and more mature. Other members include John
Medeski and Bill Martin of Medeski,
Martin and Wood.
Stereo Type A is basically an eclectic pop album, with an emphasis on eclectic. This album sounds nothing like the
bubble gum, boy band, Latin invasion, teenybopper pop clogging the radio.
"Working For Vacation," "Spoon" and Lint of Love" can be loosely categorized as funk, with
"Working For Vacation" containing some nifty samples, and "Lint of Love" rocking on with some heavy guitars. "Spoon" is straight ahead funk with a get-your-booty-on the-dance-floor
CD facts
Band: Cibo Matto
Album: Stereo Type A
Grade: A
groove, and a strangely good acoustic guitar solo.
Switching styles, Cibo Matto swanks it up a bit with the samba-esque "Flowers," and then again with "Moonchild," which is the closest thing to a ballad on this album. While Hatori and Honda show their studio skills with samples and keyboards and such on the rest of the album, "Moonchild" is the showcase for Hatori's honey-sweet vocals and tight vocal harmonies.
The oddity is in full effect in the synthesizer-laden "Sci Fi Wasabi." Honda and Hatori rap about diverse subjects such as purgatory and being "smooth like butter," while giving shout-outs to Moby and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Cibo Matto enters a completely different musical sphere with "Stone," which could almost pass for a jazz standard.
although the highlight of this album is "Clouds." It is a funky little pop tune that sounds like the soundtrack to a cool video game with beat-boxing and mellow vocals added on top. All that, and it turns out that this is a love song with a chorus that says, "We've never ever moved together yet so beautiful."
For Cibo Matto there is no chance for the sophomore slump, because Stereo Type A is a superbly-crafted pop album. For those of you who saw Cibo Matto at the Bottleneck this summer, consider yourselves lucky.
Those of you who have a chance to see them Tuesday night at the Granada would be well advised to do so. If Stereo Type A is any indication, Cibo Matto will provide a quirky and entertaining show.

If one walks down Massachusetts Street, students will find an orange neon sign at 926 1/2 that reads Jazz. If students wander up the carpeted steps, they will find a different side to Lawrence and a different side of almost any college town.
This is the bar that produces passionate musicians.
Rick McNeely, 48, owns the Jazzhaus. The Jazzhaus began as an empty warehouse that was owned by several organizations including banks and the Internal Revenue Service. McNeely bought the warehouse in 1982, speculating that he would own a bar for the next three years while he took a break from being a performer, but not from being a musician. Somehow, three years turned into 17.
McNeely receives numerous phone calls and letters through out the course of a day, all of
The Jazzhaus is not the average college town bar. Long-lived celebrated artists such as the Legendary Blues Band, Barney Kessel and Bonnie Rait are just a handful of those who have illuminated the atmosphere of the Jazzhaus.
them trying to book a spot at his live music venue. While money is an essential element of our survival, McNeely said his prime concern is his happiness, and the happiness of those around him.
The Jazzzhaus was partially designed to be a venue that produced jazz, reggae, funk and blues. As time has gone on though, McNeely's decisions rest on how a band works into the calendar and whether the group will bring a crowd.
"I'm a musician first, then a business man." McNeeley said.
The Jazzzhaus was established so that McNeely could continue to express his love and passion for music while allowing others great performers to show their love as well. For 17 years he has used this passion and the bar has become the oldest club in Lawrence. That takes more than just wanting to sell good drinks. The establishment needs a special type of atmosphere. Those who perform at the Jazzzhaus help to structure this atmosphere.
However, McNeely's wife, Tanya, who is a graduate of fine arts from the University of Kansas, helps to keep the atmosphere fresh and radiant. Recently Tanya changed the
interior with the subtleness of leopard spots sporadically surrounding some of the walls. But Tanya's artful eye is shown by the art she approves to hang along the brick walls and booths. While the bar is primarily lit with candles covered by red lanters, the displays attract their own light with the aid of small light fixtures that help create a soft shadowing. The paintings vary from abstract to still-lives. While they are for sale they are only on display for two weeks to a month.
Rick McNeely has been involved in the music business for 30 years. He has played in various bands but the most recent is the Majestics Rhythm Revue. The Majestics is a configuration of six members ranging from the ages of 23 to 48. This diversity has helped the band to grow together.
"Every band needs a leader," said Jen Barbec, a 23-year-old and lead vocalist of the Majestics. "Rick is our leader. He gives us options. He is the supporter of this band when it comes to everything — time, money and energy."
That is exactly what the McNeelys have created with the Jazthaus-energy. It's a bar in a
college town with the feel of a blues club. The energy that is circulated from that is a product of Rick's love for music and Tanya's love for art.
While McNeely would leave the Jazzhaus to become the next Buddy Guy, he is not in the music business for money or fame.
"I'm not in this to be in the top 40, make a million dollars and
He said the Majestics and the Jazzhaus were built from the same philosophy: Anything that inspires you is good for you.

"Playing music is my first and greatest love," said McNeely.

How to see Lawrence, and survive for under $10
By Howard Manns Special to the Kansan
Like a machine gun, the cash register reluctlessly fires off charges as the cashier methodically runs textbooks across a scanner. When the dust of this financial assault clears, all that remains is a plastic sack overloaded with books, a substantial portion of Oregonian timber in the form of a receipt and your weekend spending money in the form of $10 in change.
Fortunately, it is possible, even for the financially impaired, to have a good time in Lawrence. It's not a question of what can a person do for under $10 in Lawrence; it's a question of what does that person want to do? It's just a matter of finding the groove and digging in.
From taking advantage of the drink specials bars offer throughout town to camping at Clinton Lake, University of Kansas students all seem to have a $10 groove of their own.
"Take a really good book to a coffeehouse and read," said Camille Payne, Kearney, Neb., senior. She also recommended the cheesecake and the atmosphere at the Free State Brewing Company, 636 Massachusetts St., and the $2.13 milkshakes on Sonic, adding, "It has to be chocolate."
For Jay Holley, Topeka junior, happiness under the $10 financial constraint takes the shape of a movie at Liberty Hall or simply buving a CD.
Payne and Holley weren't alone in valuing simple pleasures. Three recurrent themes underlined budget-minded KU students' weekend agendas: food, window-shopping on Massachusetts Street and the great — and still either free or relatively inexpensive — outdoors.
Once again, it's simply a matter of listening to the suggestions of other students, taking into account personal interests and diving headfirst into Lawrence.
For night time entertainment it's easy enough to open any newspaper insert and figure out where the drink specials are on any given night.
Heading to Massachusetts Street during the daylight hours, however, hand-in-hand with Alexander Hamilton and the limited buying power his image has come to represent, one finds a range of eclectic and eccentric shops inside of which an afternoon can easily be spent.

Restaurant Guide

Special to the Kansan
Lovers and lovers of food alike are sure to find solace in Lawrence's eclectic mixture of culinary customs.
However, it is imperative that one select a restaurant with the appropriate attributes, for the fate of a date is largely shaped by the choice of environment. While a perusal of the phonebook or one's coupon collection may spark the date that yields a lifelong relationship, a less flippant approach has produced the following tastes of the town's menu.

Translated "the killer," this harmless environment includes an affordable jukebox with mariachi classics and '80s favorites. The owner sings by request on Fridays accompanied by his friend's piano. The food is not greasy and is served in small portions, allowing you and your date to explore the menu.
The retro accessories and knickknack eye candy provide brain props for fascinating conversation of dreams and Pluto. Reubens, roast beef and au jus, and BLTs are among G's best. Erik Frederickson, kitchen manager, said that bar lent itself to an unassuming, Cheeresque environment.
"A lot of our clients met at KU and still return here, some with their grand kids," said third generation owner Raquel McLean. "I think people come because everybody's comfortable here. There's not a lot of hype."

After a week immersed in books, most students are ready to plunge into the weekend. Working and studying have consumed practically all of your time, leaving socializing, even dating, at the bottom of your priority list.
But once the weekend rolls around, priorities can change, making dating one of the weekend's most important activities. But students new to the Lawrence area may be lost when it comes to finding entertaining and worthwhile places to spend the weekend. Lawrence offers many unique spots that attract those looking for a good place to take a date.
Restaurants are probably one of the most common places to start a date. Lawrence offers a plethora of upscale and casual dining restaurants.
There are also places to go if you are looking for a more casual atmosphere.
"Teller's on Mass. Street is the best because it's so unique," said Devon Villalopando, Minneapolis junior. "If you're looking for a nice place to go, Tellers would be it."
Free State Brewing Company is at 636 Massachusetts St., and Teller's is at 746 Massachusetts St.
Because of its concentration of restaurants and clubs, Massachusetts Street is a very popular place to take dates.
"Free State Brewery is great because it's friendly and casual, and they serve really good food," said Erika Zimmerman, Ulysses junior.
"Walking down Mass. Street is the most fun because there's a lot to do and
see, and you can talk to your date," Zimmerman said.
For students interested in music and dancing, Massachusetts Street is home to several clubs that offer live music.
"You can pretty much find a concert every night in Lawrence at The Bottleneck or the Granada," said Kevin Pike. Lawrence freshman.
The Bottleneck is at 737 New Hampshire St., and the Granada is at 1020 Massachusetts St.
Pike said he thought that going to concerts or dancing was sometimes a needed change from the regular dinner and movie dates.
ESPA
"It's not very expensive for a whole night of entertainment," he said.
Many students agreed that restaurants or coffee houses were great places to take dates because it gave them a chance to talk with their companions. However, some students said that movies were a good place to take a date because there wasn't a lot of conversation involved.
Lawrence has four main movie theaters that show first-run movies, but other venues offer independent and international films.
Liberty Hall Cinema, 642 Massachusetts, shows all three types of films.
"Movies are good, especially on first dates because you don't have to force conversation," said Jaymie Pinkelman, Overland Park freshman. "Plus, you and your date can talk about the movie afterward if you can't think of anything else to chat about."

Free State Brewery brings city's past to present
By Sarah Warren
Special to the Kansan
Tiffany Learned has found her own little place where everyone knows her name.
Well, maybe not everyone, but she definitely knows quite a few people there. For Learned, Newton sophomore, Free State Brewery is a place where she feels at home.
"Whenever I go there, I always see someone I know," said Learned, who frequents Free State twice a week. "People I know work there, people I know eat there, people I know drink there — the whole nine yards."
Ted Danson would be proud.
Since its opening in 1989, Free State has become a Lawrence staple, connecting the history of Lawrence to the modern day town. Free State's proprietor, Chuck Magerl, said the brewery owed its birth to Kansas history.
The inspiration for this business really started back in 1977 when I was researching the history of brewing in Kansas, and particularly, a small
prewery that had been located in Lawrence during the 1870s and 1880s." Magerl said.
That brewery, Lawrence Brewery and Beer Gardens, simply called Walruff's Brewery, after its proprietor John Walruff, held a virtual monopoly in Lawrence at the time. But in 1880, Walruff's prosperity was challenged.
"Kansas was the first state in the nation to enact a constitutional prohibition, and that was in 1880," Magerl said. "So Kansas started it early and held onto it longer. Until about 1938, Kansas was still under a form of prohibition."
The federal prohibition act was passed in 1919.
Walruff and his brewery resolved to subversive methods to keep prospering.
("Walruff's) made a big show of closing down for a little while and then reopened selling a 'Celebrated Stomach Invigorator' that was sold for medicinal purposes," Mager said. The Celebrated Stomach
The Celebrated Stomach Invigorator was called "medicinal"
beer, but remained the same product Walruff had been brewing for years. The bottle's label was dressed with the instructions, "Keep it very cool. Take a wine glass full at meal time and before retiring at night."
"This, of course, allowed them to stay open a few years after state prohibition." Magerl said.
After Walruff's shut its doors for good in 1886, only a few breweries in Leavenworth, Atchison and Kansas City were able to operate into the next century.
He said he got some legislation passed by the Kansas House of Representatives to have small breweries added to Kansas' landscape again.
Almost a century later, after researching Walruffs, Magerl knew it was time to resurrect the small Kansas brewery.
"At the time (the late 1970s and early 1980s), there was no one else doing this kind of work between Chicago and Denver," Magerl said.
With the green light for his brewery, Magerl decided to incorporate
the history of Kansas into the company. He printed the story of Walruff's on the backs of his menus, he made sure it would be located in Lawrence's old downtown, and he picked the name Free State, after the anti-slavery movement in the 1850s and 1860s.
"When we were getting ready to open we made a very deliberate choice to be in downtown Lawrence," Magerl said. "Our older building really helps bring people into the past."
Learned agreed.
"The building structure lends itself pretty easily to history, and they have so many things there that tell you about the history of Free State and the history of Kansas." Learned said.
And, at least in Learned's mind, Free State Brewery will carve its own place in Lawrence's history.
"I think they (Free State) are already a mainstay," Learned said. "Other places can come and go, but they'll always be there."

Underage drinking getting tougher
By Amanda Beglin Special to the Kansan
Getting past the door at area bars with a fake ID can be tougher than many students realize.
Several bars are adopting new technology, including ID scanners and extra video cameras, to cut down on underage drinking.
Other bars, including the Hawk,
use video cameras and scanning
equipment to compare the picture on
an ID and the person owning the ID.
In addition to high-tech equipment, many door staffs rely on a reference book of state IDs so they can check unusual or suspicious-looking cards.
However, Matt Taylor, St. Louis freshman, said the technology didn't always make a difference.
"Depending on where you go and the quality of the fake, I've heard it's easy to get into different places around town." he said.
At most bars, the door staff is the first to check IDs and determine their validity. Al Jacobson, manager of The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., said staff members were trained to notice small discrepancies in IDs, such as irregularities in the size of an ID, fonts, personal information, holograms and fading.
"I believe we have the best door staff in town." Jacobson said. He
said his staff confiscated fake IDs and normally called the police.
The Bottleneck, Jacobson said, had not been found in violation of underage drinking laws in months.
In spite of the equipment and effort used to spot fake IDs, bar employees said they often didn't confiscate the card because they don't have the space to store them or the manpower to work through them. Instead, offenders are asked to leave.
However, students who have their fake IDs confiscated could face a $200 fine, court costs, an $80 alcohol information class and community service.

Bottleneck offers live music acts, swing dancing
By Jason Krall Special to the Kansan
There may be a little something for just about everyone at the Bottleneck this fall.
As usual, the venue will present some of the punk and modern rock acts it's best known for bringing to town. But there is plenty more to be heard than just loud guitars.
In recent months, the Bottleneck,
737 New Hampshire St., has brought
acts with a wide range of styles, from
the heavy sounds of Rollins Band
and the unabashed punk of the Melvins to the eclectic tunes of pop music's favorite son, Sean Lennon.
Punk veterans L7 are booked for Sept. 27. Mike Watt, former frontman of the Minutemen and fiREHOSE, will appear for a solo performance, will appear for a solo performance Derek Trucks and his band are expected for a show later this fall, and the venue will bump with the sounds of DJ Craze and DJ Infamous Oct. 27.
The venue has something to offer in the way of swing music, as well. Sunday nights are swing nights, people dressed in their best come out for dancing and free lessons starting at 9 p.m. DJ Lindi Barb starts things off with a "jump swing" set from 9 to 11 p.m.
"It's a great place just to start out and learn how to dance." Barb said.
The jump swing is followed by DJ June Bug with a more mellow offering. No experience is necessary.
"It's something between swing and Elvis," said Barb, a recent University of Kansas graduate.
Christopher Nassey, Lawrence graduate student, doesn't head to the Bottleneck often, but an appearance by Kansas City keyboard wizard Jeffrey Lee and his band, the Pale Moon Kings, was enough to draw him out last month. Lee and his backup quartet are one of a handful of area bands that appear at the Bottleneck somewhat regularly.
"They have a good range of different kinds of bands coming through here, a little something for everybody," said Nassey.
Admittance is 18 and older most nights, with a sprinkling of all-ages and 21-and-older shows dotting the
calendar. The cover charge for the Bottleneck shows featuring lesser-known acts is often $4 or $5, with better known acts, such as L7, fetching $10 or more at the door. The unique atmosphere, of course, is included.
With a pool tables near the door, the antique alien-hunting arcade game Galaga next to the pay phone and a smattering of late-night epiphanie scribbled on the wooden seats of the boots around the bar, the place has a character undeniably its own. Perhaps that's why the clientele includes some of the same faces night after night.
"L7 is coming up, I'm pumped to see them," said Jesse Parrish, De Soto sophomore, who is somewhat of a regular at the Bottleneck. "They get a lot of good balls coming in here, especially once school gets rolling."
It won't be the first time L7 has appeared on the Bottleneck's stage. The band is among dozens of modern rock acts that have made a stop at the Bottleneck on their way to stardom.
Few have seen more Bottleneck shows than PC Carlin, who has tended bar there for five years, but who had been going to see bands there for years before that. Soundgarden's 1989 show sticks out in his mind as a favorite.
Other acts that have graced the stage include Sublime, Foo Fighters, Blind Melon, Soul Asylum, Jewel, Ben Folds Five and 311-in its first performance sporting a new look. Shortly before its self-titled album began to climb the charts, 311's van caught fire en route to the Bottleneck and singed the unruly hair of singer Nick Hexum, Carlin recalled. Hexum was forced to shave his head just before the show, a look he stuck with and became known for.
"All you could see was hair on stage," Carlin said. "I remember (lead singer) Chris Cornell said, 'We aren't going to break our instruments tonight; we're down to our last ones.'"
"If you look over there, they all have long hair," Carlin said, gesturing to one of the walls covered with promotional shots of bands that have played here. "They played a great show, though."

The Draft to play in benefit concert

The men make up the band known as The Draft, originally was thrown together for an eighth-grade talent show. Six years later, the band is getting ready to release its first full-length record.
By Reed Davidson Special to the Kansan
The Draft, consisting of four Overland Park sophomores, considers itself more of a project than a band.
"With my drumming style, I try to change it up and follow the other guys." said John Ferns, drummer. "Basically, we're just trying to have a good time."
thing twice," said Kyle Marler, guitarist. "I try to take a song, build on it and feel the other members, so I can play in the direction we're going as a band."
The Draft's style of changing throughout a show is reflected in all four band member's performances.
"I trv never to play the same
The band attributes its style and influences to bands such as the Grateful Dead and Widespread Panic. The band's second guitarist, Tim Fitzpatrick, describes The Draft as an extended jam influenced band with a mixture of everything from blue grass to jazz.
the best attribute they have to offer is a wide variety of musical taste. Marler said he hoped that everyone at the band's shows had a good time because it tried to have something for everyone.
"We play a lot of covers in addition to our own stuff, but the selection of covers is overall really good," Fitzpatrick said. "So everyone should enjoy at least a few songs each show."
Band members agreed that
The Draft released a demo cassette a year and a half ago, and it plans to have its new material released this winter. The Draft can be seen tomorrow and Oct. 2 at Johnny's Tavern. 401 N. Second St.
"We're real excited about playing at Johnny's because we love to get up on stage and get our music out to our fans," said Bob Connealy, lead vocals and bassist of the band.
UPCOMING SHOWS

- Oct. 2 at Johnny's Tavern

The Draft also is teaming up with local bands such as the Ray-guns for a benefit concert Oct. 22 at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. The show is a fund-raiser for Amnesty International, a worldwide human rights organization.
"We enjoy helping out the community," Ferns said. "As a local band it's great publicity to get our name and music out to a wider audience. It's great to help out and just see new people at our shows, because we want everyone to experience The Draft."

For instance, on every shelf of Fun and Games, 816 Massachusetts St., one finds items that rekindle childhood memories and instill an overwhelming desire to "play." From Chutes and Ladders to Sexual Trivia, the shop has board games covering the whole range of the developmental spectrum.
A few doors away, at 830 Massachus setts St., sits the equally fun — albeit much more relaxed — Lawrence Antique Mall. Once again, a person is overwhelmed with nostalgia wandering through the three floors of this quasi-attic, which includes, among other things, a display of serial killer
autographs and innumerable magazines, audio cassettes and books.
It's so easy to get caught up in the window shopping on Massachusetts Street that even after two or three hours can be passed without spending a dime.
This leaves plenty of money to explore one of the many eateries, to buy a book and head to a coffeehouse or to simply continue window shopping around the dozens of other interesting shops.
Immediately west of Lawrence lies 7,000-acre Clinton Lake, which harbors an abundance of boating, swimming, biking, hiking and camping opportunities. While the $4-per-car Clinton State
Park entrance fee is a bit steep by national standards, the $5-a-site camping fee is about as cheap as you're going to find anywhere.
Those wishing to avoid the $4 state park fee can find pleasant picnic sites on a hill overlooking the lake at the Army Corps of Engineers' Overlook Park. It doesn't cost anything.
Further west, about an hour and a half drive from Lawrence, one can wander through the more than five million acres of tallgrass prairies in the Flint Hills. Two of the more popular stepping stones to this natural wonderland are the Konza Prairie and the Tallgrass Prairie Natural Preserve.
The 8.600-acre Konza Prairie, maintained by Kansas State University, is the nation's largest protected tallgrass prairie. It costs nothing, and its three informative nature walks — 1.7, 4.7, and 6.1 miles respectively — easily can be accessed about five miles north of exit 307 on Interstate 70.
About 16 miles south of Council Grove sits the almost 11,000 acres of Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve. The rolling hills and prairies of this preserve are being developed for eventual inclusion into the National Park System. There is a suggested entrance donation of $2 for this preserve.
For the artistically minded, the Lied Center offers a schedule overflowing with inspirational speakers and musical and dance presentations.
Much closer to home, the University offers a variety of on-campus activities sure to fit in any student's budgetary
and interest constraints.
Meanwhile, Student Union Activities is wealth of information about ongoing events on and off campus. Most notably, SUA shows recently run movies on Friday and Saturday nights at 7 and 9:30, in addition to a showing of less mainstream movies at midnight on both evenings. All films are shown in Woodruff Auditorium and cost $2.

Gold chandeliers, ceiling art, a tiled floor, and ornate hand railings in the lobby of Liberty Hall remind those who enter of the building's history, which spans about 140 years. Once three separate opera houses, Liberty Hall was restored to its current concrete construction in 1912 after the original buildings burned. Photo by Eric Sahrmann /KANSAN
Liberty Hall's blend of history decor makes a unique atmosphere
By Jennifer Hall
Special to the Kansan
It is a place that does not boast The Blair Witch Project show times. The Sixth Sense isn't showing here either. There's no 16-year-old kid dressed in a neon uniform and bow tie ready to rip your ticket.
There's certainly no clever jingle begging you to buy popcorn and a coke during previews, but that's what makes Liberty Hall work.
Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts Street, is a cinema and a concert hall sandwiched between downtown shops and restaurants. It has been providing a venue for entertainment, social and political events since 1912.
In the late 1850s, three different opera houses stood where Liberty Hall does now. Shortly after their construction, however, the structures burned down.
In 1912, the building was restored with concrete and was used for vaudeville shows and
community events such as high school graduations, said Tim Griffith, Liberty Hall manager.
In the 1920s, Dickinson Theaters bought Liberty Hall and used the building as a public cinema, but in the 1960s it turned into a warehouse used only for storage. However, the building did not stay empty for long. Soon after, the warehouse was converted into the Red Dog Inn, which played host to celebrities including Dwight Eisenhower and Tina Turner for the bargain price of only $4 a night. Griffith said.
In 1985, Liberty Hall was restored to its previous glamour and function as an entertainment complex.
"There's not too many places in the country like this," Griffith said. "We're not a chain. We offer the fine arts of Kansas City."
Liberty Hall's unique and storied past comes alive in its decorations. Unlike most megaplex theaters in the suburbs, part of Liberty Hall's charm lies in its decorations.
which include a wooden ticket booth, carpeted steps, mirrored walls and fringed curtains.
"My experience at the Liberty Hall was unique," said Sara Deshong, Overland Park freshman. "It differed from the monotony of the usual theater experience."
One of Liberty Hall's main functions is that of a movie theater, but rather than showing first-run movies the marquee advertises independent films including SLC Punk and Red Violin. Tickets cost $3.50 for matinees and $5.50 for evening shows.
Griffith said the large stage at the hall was ideal for concerts and other performing arts events, and the smaller rooms and stages were often used for private parties, fund-raisers and conventions.
"The theater is beautiful inside," said Kate Hackett, Minneapolis freshman. "The painted figures on the walls and colorful artwork kept my attention even before the picture began."

Club lets students slay Dragons and play with Magic
By Carrie Johnson Special to the Kansan
Members of KU Gamers and Role Players act out desires to kill monsters and gather magic for fun and adventure through role-playing and card games.
Games played by the group include Champions, Heroes Unlimited, Mage, Vampire, Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering, a collectible card game.
"In role-playing, you can do a lot of things," said Melanie Leatherman, Lawrence senior and president of Gamers and Role Players. "You can play something that's completely and totally not you. You can play something that's a lot like you. Or, you can play something that's kind of a combination. It doesn't matter. To me, it's exploration."
In role-playing games, players create characters which they control as they explore the imaginary or alternate world that the characters inhabit. Play requires a small group of people, including someone to control different aspects of the imaginary world and help guide
what happens.
Each game presents players with different rules and types of situations. For example, Dungeons & Dragons players may battle a monster in a forest cave, while Vampire players may launch a psychic attack against another.
Collectible card games such as Magic: The Gathering have been increasing in popularity. Players must purchase and collect cards to build a stronger deck, making it easier to win more battles.
"It's a game of strategy, using your mind against other people," said Buffy McKinely, Winfield sophomore. "I like playing against my friends."
In addition to having intellectual appeal, cards used in games such as Magic: The Gathering attract players aesthetically as well.
"I was drawn to the artwork on each of the cards, that's how I got into it," said John Aldridge, Leavenworth freshman and newcomer to Magic: The Gathering. "I like the fact that you have to use your brain."

New films add spice to fall season's line up
By Aaron Passman Special to the Kansan
This time every year, Hollywood opens up the gates for Oscar season and releases some of the best films of the year. The majority of the films tend to be of a more dramatic nature, featuring high-level actors and directors. In honor of the coming fall movie season, the following is a list of 10 of the most intriguing films set to be released.
The Green Mile: Based on Stephen King's serialized besteller, starring Tom Hanks, The Green Mile is the story of the relationship between a 1930s death-row prison guard and a very unusual inmate (Armageddon's Michael Clark Duncan). The film looks to be at the top of the heap for the rest of the year and should be a definite Oscar contender. Warner Bros. first test screening had some of its highest results ever. Directed by Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption). Opens Dec. 17.
Any Given Sunday: Oliver Stone directs Al Pacino, Dennis Quaid and Cameron Diaz in a film about a fictitious football team — the Miami Sharks — and the pressures on the team as it reaches the end of a winning season. Stone is certainly an able director, and with Pacino in the lead, this should be a can't-miss hit. Opens Dec. 25.
Bringing Out The Dead: Nicholas Cage as a burned-out New York City paramedic. Also starring Patricia Arquette (True Romance), and Ving Rhames (Pulp Fiction). It should be fabulous by default just because it is directed by Martin Scorcee. Opus Oct. 23.
**Dogma:** Easily the most controversial movie of the year, the new film from Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy) features 'Matt Damon and Ben Affleck as angels kicked out of heaven and Linda Florentino as a descendent of Christ who works in an abortion clinic. The film, which is a satire about organized
religion, also features Chris Rock, Salma Hayek, Alan Rickman, Jason Lee and Alanis Morrissey as God. Opens Nov. 12.
Man On The Moon: Milos Forman (Amadeus, The People V. Larry Film) directs Jim Carrey's most ambitious outing yet: a biography of the late comedian Andy Kaufman. Also starring are Courtney Love and Danny DeVito. It's a risky film for Carrey because audiences aren't used to seeing someone like him act in a real drama. Regardless, the film has some serious potential and could surprise some people. Opens Nov. 5.
Sleepy Hollow: Anyone who's seen the trailer for this knows that it's almost nothing like the Rip Van Winkle classic. Instead, Tim Burton's new film has Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) investigating a string of vicious murders in colonial New England. Expect something scary. While Burton always has made rather bizarre films, he never has made an all-out horror film, which this is. Sleepy Hollow also stars Christina Ricci and Christopher Walken as the Headless Horseman, Opens Nov. 19.
End Of Days: Arnold Schwarzengeger versus Satan. Enough said. Opens Nov. 24.
The World Is Not Enough: Pierce Brosaen is back for his third go-around as James Bond. This time, Agent 007 is up against a Bosnian terrorist out to monopolize the world's oil supply. Expect your typical James Bond film: gorgeous women, evil villains and cool gadgets. Opens Nov. 19.
Fight Club: Brad Pitt and Edward Norton star in this film by director David Fincher (Seven, The Game) about disenchanted twenty-somethings searching for meaning in their lives. Despite being one of the years' most bizarre films, Fight Club should pull in a fair amount of money at the box office thanks to its top cast and one of the most talented directors working. Opens Oct. 15.
Commentary
Now and then — far too infrequently — a film comes along that offers a sliver of legitimate wisdom about the condition of the American family in 20th century.
The Associated Press
Film tackles tragedy of ordinary families
Robert Redford's Ordinary People (1980) did it. So did Ang Lee's The Ice Storm (1997). Now, director Sam Mendes' American Beauty takes its place among the best family dramas of recent decades.
Subtle and harrowing, full of cockeyed humor and visceral pain, American Beauty explores a modern family — what makes it tick, and how each tick can herald the existence of a time bomb moving inexorably toward detonation.
Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey), writer for a booster-oriented ad magazine, is coping with early middle age. A comfortable, suburban life has left him self-indulgent and a bit disoriented.
"I know I've lost something," he savs, "but I don't know what it is."
His wife, Carolyn (Annette Bening), is insolent and self-pitying, driven inside her frosty shell by years of rising anger at her husband and her lot. A real estate agent who dresses and furnishes like a bon vivant, she nonetheless is so emotionally eviscerated that, when she cries, she simultaneously upbraids herself for doing so.
Their high-school-age daughter, Jane (Thora Birch), is hovering near the junction of adulthood and troubled teen — she is certain she is ugly and is thoroughly disgusted at her parents' suburban artificiality.
Add a cryptic boy who lives next door named Ricky (Wes Bentley) and his strange parents, throw in a teenage Lolita named Angela (Mena
Suvari) and you have a potboiler that could go any direction.
And it does.
Lester encounters Angela, Jane's cheerleading buddy, and falls immediately and obviously in lust with her, much to his daughter's disgust. Jane catches Ricky watching her and is both repelled and fascinated. Carolyn flirts with her competitor (Peter Gallagher, at his oiliest). Ricky's Marine Corps father grapples with the presence of a gay couple in the neighborhood. Illicit lust blossom.
If all this seems dizzying and disjointed, that's sort of the point. What unifies it all is Lester, who is either falling apart or finally awaking. His attraction for Angela and the confusion it produces sends him on a journey of self-destruction and discovery.
He molts convulsively from a randy Walter Mitty into some sort of rampaging suburban John Beliush, energized by the very things that should hurt him, watching his life unravel even as it becomes enjoyable again.
As matters hurtle toward their conclusions, it is Lester who — with both his vices and his formidable attempts at being honorable — pushes them along.
Spacey's Lester is a wonderful, terrible junk pile of whimsy and rage, self-doubt and resurgent hormones. And Bening, who deserved a break after an unintelligible script scuttled her fine work in January's In Dreams, gives a career performance here.
Birch, whose emotions bubble quietly and sear viciously, plays Jane just right — an adolescent struggling between wanting to love her parents and seeing their blemishes in stark relief, as only an offspring can.
Chris Cooper and Allison Janney are just as spellbinding as next-door neighbors Col. Frank and Barbara

Fitts. He is a barking, sinewy disciplinarian who'd just as soon bloody his own son as face his failings; her years of obedience have left her one tiny notch away from catonia. And both Bentley and Suvari give performances of astonishing depth that are beyond their years.
As haunting piano and strings push this misfit block party to its agonizing climax, you know what's ahead, because Lester's narration told you at the beginning: He is going to die. Things will implode. But in what manner?
Ultimately, Lester's end comes at his moment of redemption, and it resonates with quiet irony. His liberation becomes his undoing, but not before he has emerged as the kindest, most stouthearted person in a confused lot of misdirected souls.
What makes the film such a desolate snapshot of American life is the normalcy of its dysfunction: Everybody's horrible, and everybody's normal. American Beauty is an American tragedy. In it, we can recognize ourselves. And the mirror is not only cracked; it's shattered and cannot be fixed.
American Beauty, a Dreamworks release, is written by Alan Ball and produced by Bruce Cohen and Dan Jinks. It is rated R.

Rock climbing provides real higher education
By Kate McCarty Special to the Kansan
Some adventurous University of Kansas students tired of the same old Friday night routine will be spending a few weekends scaling cliffs.
The Rock-Climbing club takes several out-of-state trips each semester. The group has traveled to Arkansas, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Texas, Wyoming and Iowa, climbing cliffs as high as 70 feet.
The first trip this semester was to Sam's Throne, Ark. Bryan Caldwell, Gardner senior and club president, said the club accepted between 20 and 30 beginning climbers. The club is also planning trips to Warsaw, Mo., and Allenspark, Co.
PLEASE READ THE BACK OF THIS PICTURE FOR A LARGER VIEW.
Bowen Pope, Lawrence junior,
joined the club last fall.
"I've been climbing on and off since my freshman year," he said. "I started to really get into it, and I made a lot of great friends."
Caldwell said the best way for a person interested in climbing to get involved was to take advantage of open climbing hours at Robinson Center's wall in room 207. All equipment is provided and experienced climbers are readily available to teach the basics.
"The club is a great way to get outside," Caldwell said. "It's a really fun and relaxed atmosphere. The people are great."
Melanie Michael, Cheney sophomore, didn't know that Robinson had a climbing wall until last semester. "I was watching my friends play basketball across the hall, and some guy came out and said 'try this.' So I did, and I loved it." she said.
Michael said the best thing about being in the club was that she was able to challenge herself.
Lindsay Millsap, Naperville, Ill., senior, spotters Ashley, Wichita senior, as she scales the climbing wall. Open climbing hours are Mondays 9 to 10:30 p.m., Thursday 7 to 9 p.m. and Saturdays 4 to 8 p.m at Robinson Center. Photo by Melissa Thornton/KANSAN
Lushbox's newest release supports local music award
By Chris Eckert
Kansan music critic
Lushbox is currently working on its full-length debut, but the band has released a five-song EP, Despues la Operación Sere Una Nina for anyone who wants to hear the sound that garnered the group the 1999 Klammie Local Music Award for Best New Band.
Although short, Despues la Operacion showcases the range of Lushbox's songs. The opening song, "La Sala de Partos" features shuffling indie-rock drums and the sound of a guitar jangling over male vocals and female harmonies. The rest of the album leans towards more powerful instrumentation and strong female vocals, with some male harmonies.
Songs like "Thin Walls" and "Coffee" feature lyrics about everyday life, paying bills, learning for privacy and anonymity in a

small town and drugging yourself to stay awake through the obligations of life. While "Coffee" is more whimsical, "Thin Walls" is a more cynical world view, building to a driving chorus that declares, "you have all cannibalized yourself."
Undoubtedly the strangest track on the EP is "Judo Chop," a thirty-second track that is a TV commercial snippet more than a song and
it sounds like the chorus to some lost new wave/punk single from 1980, repeating the title against a spring-loaded guitar riff.
Commentary
The EP's final track, "Niki," is perhaps the strongest and the most straightforward rock song. Describing a strained relationship with a girl, the track is radio-ready rock with a melody reminiscent of a plugged-in version of R.E.M.'s "New Test Leper."
Lushbox is currently working on its full length debut in a Kansas City, Mo., studio, while playing occasionally in the area. Come fall, if the song quality and variation that Lushbox achieves on Despues la Operation can be sustained in its full-length album, more Klammie awards should be in its future.

Former Best Actress recalls her past
The Associated Press
LONDON — Luise Rainer was in San Francisco with husband Clifford Odets in 1938 when she got news of her second consecutive Academy Award for best actress. But a night of triumph soon became one of tears.
"Clifford had just had a great fight with me and told me how no good I was and all that," Rainer said of her stormy marriage to the seminal American playwright of Awake and Sing and Waiting for Letty.
"By golly," she said, her recollection clear, her exuberance unbridled. "I phoned home (in Los Angeles) and was told I must come home right away because the papers were asking, 'Was I shunning or not caring about the Academy?' I hadn't even dreamed of getting another Academy Award, and there I was unhappy in my private life and miserable."
In those days, winners were announced hours before the ceremony began at 11 p.m. So despite her domestic distress, Rainer had enough time to drive to Los Angeles and accept her trophy.
"I remember Odets drove me three times around the Biltmore, where the Oscars were given out, because I was so full of tears."
Rainer sits forward, as if ready for her close-up, in a regally appointed apartment that this particular afternoon functions almost as a stage.
Her inmate theatricality undimmed by the years, Rainer doesn't so much answer as emote when asked about her emotionally charged and often enigmatic life.
Once known as the "Viennese teardrop," Rainer did what might seem unimaginable: Having made history as the first performer ever to win back-to-back Academy Awards — for the Great Ziegfeld (1936) and The Good Earth (1937) — she simply walked out of show biz and superstardom.
Five decades later, at 89, she's an aging yet animated beauty in a
profession that prizes youth.
In the 1930s, she was a European emigre to the West Coast who replaced Myrna Loy in a little-known film called *Escapade* and went on to beat out Norma Shearer and Greta Garbo for the Oscar.
"When I got two Oscars, they thought, 'Oh, they can throw me into anything,'." Rainer said.
But the diminutive theater-trained performer from Dusseldorf, Germany, fell foul of MGM impresario Louis B. Mayer and found that life on the post-Oscar fast track was a labor not necessarily of love.
"I had a seven-year contract that I broke and went away," says Rainer.
"I was a machine, practically, a tool in a big, big factory, and I could not do anything."
Ernest Hemingway may be one of the few 20th-century greats whom Rainer did not know.
Perhaps there are far too many adventures still ahead to let her dwell on the past.

SUA plans another year of trips
By Brooke Hesler
Special to the Kansan
While some caught up on their sleep this Labor Day weekend, a group of 31 students and two supervisors went canoeing in Eminence, Mo. It was the first of many trips Student Union Activities is sponsoring this year.
"They offer trips at pretty good prices, and they're at good times during the year," said Paul Ericson, a Lansing senior who went on the canoe trip.
In addition to that trip, the SUA Recreation Committee currently is planning a trip to New York in the spring and a ski trip to Breckenridge, Colo., in the winter. The cost of the ski trip will be around $360 and includes room and board, said Liz Schneider, Abeline sophomore, who is in charge of SUA's recreation committee.
"I think that the trips benefit students because it gives them the opportunity to get away from the toil of school and just have some fun,"
Schneider said.
Schneider and the Recreation Committee currently are trying to plan a trip to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. However, she also said that they have encountered difficulties.
"I want to rip my hair out sometimes because you really can't get a hotel down there for less than four days, and we only want to stay for a weekend," Schneider said.
In the past, SUA has sponsored trips to New Orleans, Chicago, Las Vegas and Panama City. However this year, Schneider said that Panama City and similar vacation spots were probably out of the question because they promote drinking.
Schneider said preparation for the canoe trip began in May. Students paid $70 each, which included five meals and campground rental for two nights. Sarah Hanson, Copper Canyon, Texas, freshman, said her favorite part of the trip was getting to know other students.
"I met a lot of people, especially older people who I wouldn't have normally met," Hanson said.
Sabastain Bachmann, a graduate student from Germany, said that one of his favorite parts of the trip was getting to know people from other countries.
"There were a couple of Japanese people on the trip, and they taught us some of their words and phrases," he said. "That was interesting."
The ideas for SUA trips come from the Recreation Committee and then are pitched to SUA advisers. After gaining approval from the advisers, Schneider then contacts travel agents in an attempt to gain the best possible prices. She said the group hoped to provide University of Kansas students with affordable vacation spots. Bachmann seemed to think SUA did
Bachmann seemed to think SUA did a pretty good job.
"The trip wasn't too expensive," he said. "I went on the trip because I just wanted to get out of Lawrence for a couple of days, and I don't have a car."

Many opportunities await students ready for retreat from classes, Lawrence
By Lane Baker Special to the Kansan
It's only September and already some groups of freedom-hungry students are busily trying to answer the ever-present question - where to go for spring break?
For some students, the question of where to spend spring break is quite difficult to answer. Some students ponder if they should stay in the confines of their own apartments or maybe take that oh-so-adventurous leap back home to sit on their parents' couch for a week and watch old Friends reruns.
For some luckier students, deciding where to go on spring break is not a question of money but more of a question of convenience. National companies such as Student Adventure Travel and Student Travel Services make their livings off such students.
"We are a group based on student rates," said Ruth Everett of Student Travel Services.

rates at any time of the year.
Other sites, such as Airbrokers.com can offer extremely discounted rates especially if your travel time is flexible. Possible drawbacks to discounted flights are long layovers and flight changes.
Students planning on going overseas may be able to find cheaper lodging at hostels. Hostels are small, dormitory-like hotels that cater to student travelers. Although there probably won't be a
"Studying abroad and staying in one spot for awhile gives students a depth of the country. You just couldn't get that as a visitor."
"We deal directly with hotels and take care of flights. We'll even drive students to and from the airport."

Spring and winter breaks are prime travel times so Web sites can help students book flights at non-peak hours. Sites such as Expedia.com have travel
Student Travel Services even plans group vacations and provide students with meal plans, if so desired.
For all those monetarily challenged students, there is still hope of leaving Lawrence.
There are a few ways to make a student travel experience a little less expensive with a little research of the travel destination. The public library or local bookstore can be a great source of information on popular travel hot spots.

While in some places it may be tempting to take taxis because of convenience, try hitching a ride on a bus if available. Buses are less expensive and are
good ways to tour a new city.
For those who think a week just isn't long enough, the Study Abroad program offers extended stays and an opportunity to learn.
"Studying abroad and staying in one spot for awhile gives students a depth of the country," said David Wiley, Study Abroad outreach coordinator. "You just couldn't get that as a visitor."
For those students concerned about money, some study abroad programs cost the same as in-state tuition, but students must provide for airfare and living expenses. If you are interested in the Study Abroad, call Lippincott Hall at 864-3742.

Drew Carey goes home to film new episode
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — Comedian Drew Carey punches his hand into the air near the goal line of Cleveland Browns Stadium as thousands of fans chant his name.
A dream episode on Carey's top-rated ABC sitcom, *The Drew Carey Show?*
No, it's Carey taking a break from filming to acknowledge the thousands of Clevelanders who came decked out in orange and brown to play Brown fans for the show's Sept. 29 episode on the team's return to the National Football League.
The big guy with the crew cut and glasses is getting a welcome from his hometown not unlike the one the city gave its beloved Brown's after a three-season absence from the NFL.
Carey is overwhelmed by the response.
"Thank you. God bless you." he said.
But a moment later, Carey was poking fun at the crowd, drawing a large laugh
that echoed through the 72,000-seat stadium.
"Hey, good luck looking for your face on TV," he told those who waited in line for hours to be part of the crowd on the show. More than 10,000 fans streamed through the stadium.
"The out-of-pocket expenses are substantial but worth it," said Lou Fusaro, one of the show's producers. "This is a great town to work in when Drew Carey is here."
Carey was clearly having fun during the recent four-day shoot in Cleveland. He went bowling — a favorite pastime — and watched the Browns win at home for the first time since the old team moved to Baltimore.
"Awesome, man, awesome," Carey said of the Browns' 35-24 preseason win against Chicago.
high Carey's show takes place and the cast only has been on loc
tion once before. The musical opening of the show was shot three years ago at several well-known spots, including the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Jacobs Field, home of the Cleveland Indians.
The show decided to move off the sound stage and into the real world when the writers suggested an episode on the return of the Brown's. Most of the 22-minute episode, the second in the show's fifth season, is shot at the Brown's stadium.
The show has Carey's character and friends trying to get tickets. When that fails, they sneak into the stadium. (Not very likely, but hey, it's TV.)
Once inside, Drew sees his girlfriend Sharon (Jenica Bergere) making out with another man on the stadium's gigantic TV screen. He flips out and takes off across the football field during the game.
And to make matters worse, Drew finds out that his cross-dressing brother Steve
(John Carroll Lynch) to marry his hated co-worker, Mimi (Kathy Kinney).
"It's like doing 'Drew Carey: The Movie'," Miller joked while cooling off in a stadium bar between scenes. "It's fun."
Everybody wants a piece of Carey, an autograph, a handshake, a picture. Tim Conley, 44, who went to high school with Carey and described him as a geek, brought his yearbook to be signed.
"I feel guilty that I'm not going to be able to talk to these people." Carey said while looking at the long line of extras playing Brown fans who camped out for tickets.
"I really only takes 30 seconds. There's what, 1,000 extras today? That's 500 minutes and that's like 16 hours. It would take me 16 hours, which I can't do."
Carey said he realized how popular he has become every time he returns home to his Old Brooklyn neighborhood where he owns his childhood house.
"The theory was to come back and relax here, but I really can't relax when I come back to Cleveland anymore," Carey said while puffing on a cigarette and drinking a soda. "I'm not a regular guy anymore. I miss that. I really do. Those days are over."
Forbes magazine ranked him as the 24th highest-paid entertainer last year with an income of $45.5 million.
On the show, Carey portrays a hardworking manager in a Cleveland department store who never seems to get a break. During shooting, Carey cracks as many jokes as Mimi has layers of mascara.
Most of the featured extras are from Cleveland. In one scene, Carey gives high-fives to the mother and sister of the show's writer Terry Mulroy, also a Cleveland native.
Costner bloody but unbowed by criticism, box office bombs
"I pulled some strings," Mulroy says with a sheepish grin.
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — It's lunchtime in Manhattan, and Kevin Costner is on the menu.
Knots of journalists mill about, waiting their turn to take a bite out of the star. His boyish charm can no longer satile this post Waterworld, post-Postman crowd.
Costner, once a sacred cow, has become steak tartar.
"If you believe in yourself, you just have to walk forward. You're going to suffer the slings and arrows," he says, wearily. "I just have to go forward."
Tucking his legs up onto a sofa, Costner exhales deeply. He is dressed sportily: white pants, pristine white sneakers and a white polo shirt under a sleeveless V-neck sweater.
"I'm mixed up about some things in my life," he continues. "But I ain't mixed up about how to approach my work. I'm just not."
Maybe that rubs people wrong — the certainty with which I come to something — because they're not certain about anything."
This is a recurring theme for Costner, a filmmaker with an impossibly taut moral compass and a black-and-white view when it comes to the art of movies.
"Kevin has great integrity as a man," says actress Kelly Preston. "He's got strong convictions. He's like a good ol' boy — he's got very American down-home values."
Those values — plus, of course, his sun-kissed looks — helped catapult Costner into the oxygen-deprived heights of the Hollywood elite during the late 1980s.
His string of hits — "No Way Out," "The Untouchables," "Bull Durham," "Field of Dreams" — were so well-received that Costner was likened to Gary Cooper, a postmodern throwback to the stoic, struggling hero. By 1990, he could do what he wanted. And he did.
Costner devoted the next 18 months — and sank all his cash — into his directorial debut: a three-hour Western with subtitles in Lakota Sioux. People thought he'd gone nuts.
"The movie was really beaten up before it ever came out," he says. "Nobody ever wants to write about it in that way, but I remember reading just awful things about what I was maybe doing out in South Dakota."
He was quietly brewing up a blockbuster: Dances With Wolves earned 12 Academy Award nominations and won seven Oscars, including best picture and best direction awards.
what you want because there's a lot of noise out there to keep you from doing what it is you want to do."
More movies followed with Costner as star, including Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, JFK and The Bodyguard. Costner was the third highest-paid entertainer in 1991-92 with a net worth of $71 million, according to Forbes magazine.
"It didn't change me at all."
Costner says. "You have to pursue
when, in 1995,
he rolled out
his $175 million
epic,
Waterworld,
amid ballooning
budgets,
the breakup of Costner's marriage
and rumors of bitter fights on
the set.
The noise became overpowering
CITY OF BAYSIDE
And that was even before the critics weighed in.

as the most wasteful feat of one-upmanship in Hollywood history. The Associated Press called it uninspired and ordinary. The *Wall Street*
Journal dubbed it "Fishar," after "Ishtar," another expensive clunker.
"I came out of Waterworld, and I didn't know if I was going to make it emotionally, given everything that was going on. And I thought, 'Well, are you going to be a baby, you baby?' he recalls.
"I said, 'Don't be a baby. You can cry all you want to think that people have invaded your privacy, but you've created some situations in your life and you need to deal with them. You need to go to work,' he says.
Armyan Bernstein, a longtime Costner friend and a producer of the actor's latest film, For Love of the Game, considers the backlash unfair.
"I think he is sort of misunderstood. I think so many events in his life have painted him with the wrong color," Bernstein says. "I think that people assume when you're a movie star and you get divorced, then that's your fault."
And if you have a run-in with a director on a movie you're making, then that's your fault, too."
After Waterworld, Costner stroked back with Tin Cup—a devilishly fun parable about a bullheaded golf pro—only to squander his credibility with the post-apocalyptic The Postman, dubbed by many "Dances With Postcards." USA Today didn't think it was worth the price of a first-class stamp.
"You know, movies have been marked through time as being dismissed and then finding their way back into a psyche. Whether that movie does or not is not important. I'm comfortable with what happened." Costner says.
"I have faith in the movies, and I have faith in my own choices about what I do," he says. "The measure of movies is how well they do at the box office or how well critics receive a film — and I think those are false gods."

Austrian trust brings lost musical talent home
The Associated Press
VIENNA, Austria — When New Yorker Diana Mittler-Battipaglia sat at the piano in Vienna's Karajan Center and played her father's music, it was as if she had brought him home.
"It was just overwhelming," she said. "It was something I never thought in my wildest dreams would come true. I had always said it would be so wonderful if my father could have a homecoming in Vienna. Now I feel that the circle is complete."
Diana Mittler-Battipaglia was in Vienna as a guest of Vienna's Orpheus Trust, a small non-profit organization that brings home the music of several thousand musicians, composers and musicologists
who were lost to Austria as a result of the Nazis.
One of those composers was Franz Mitterl, once among Austria's most promising musical talents. When German troops marched into Austria in 1938, Mitterl, who was Jewish, was performing in the Netherlands.
He immigrated to the United States where he remained for most of his life.
"His generation had the misfortune to be hit by two world wars and the Great Depression," said Mittler-Battipaglia, a music professor at Lehman College of the City University of New York. "That he was able to withstand all of that and make a new career for himself in America when he was 50 years old is remarkable."
In the United States, Mittler arranged and composed music and toured with his First Piano Quartette. Like so many emigres, he was drawn back to Europe and in his last years worked with the Summer Academy in Salzburg, before he died in 1970.
"From the many documents, we have learned how much these people dreamed of bringing home their music," said Orpheus Trust founder, Primera Gruber.
Gruber formed the Orpheus Trust in 1996 in response to what she described as a spirit of amnesia that perved postwar Austria. She began her search for lost music in 1996.
Since then, the Trust's database has expanded to include 2,000 biographical entries, references to
4. 500 compositions and more than 60 oral history interviews with artists still living.
The Orpheus Trust tracks down and catalogs lost music and makes it available to researchers, music students and members of the public. It also promotes public awareness of the works of Austrian artists whose work has been lost to most of their countrymen.
Mittler-Battipiglia herself was responsible for finding a formerly unknown piano trio that her father had written.
"I was writing my dissertation at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, and one of my advisers suggested I write about my father. I told him that I only had about 20 pieces of music and didn't think I had enough material. He suggested
that I look in the library. I looked in the card catalog, and I found reference to a piano trio and an opus of songs that I never knew he had written." she said.
In December 1997, the Orpheus Trust was given custody of the artistic estate of another Viennese composer, Fritz Spielmann, known in the United States as Fred Spielman.
Spielmann's works are now archived and accessible to the public at Vienna's Literaturhaus. The Fritz Spielmann Fund, established by members of the Spielmann family and the City of Vienna, provides research grants to young musicians and musicologists.
Spielmann, who died in March 1997, was a musical child prodigy. In the 1930's he was one of the greatest exponents of so-called
Wienerlieder (Viennese songs).
Spielmann fled to Paris in 1938. He emigrated to Cuba and then went on to the United States where, as Fred Spielman, he wrote music for Broadway and Hollywood. His "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" is now part of American popular culture.
Spielmann and Mittler are just two of several thousand musical talents lost to Austria as a result of the Nazi occupation, when the country was absorbed into Hitler's Third Reich.
When Mittler-Battipalgia played in Vienna, one of her father's nephews was in the audience. He had read about the concert in the newspaper. He didn't know his uncle had been a composer and never knew he had a daughter.
The Sixth Sense boosts Philly's film stock
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — To hear locals talk about it, a new movie about dead people walking around Philadelphia is the best thing to happen since a little-known boxer named Rocky trained on the Art Museum steps.
Nearly every scene in The Sixth Sense is anchored by the city's brick sidewalks and wrought iron fences. A teacher extols the history of the city, telling a class it was once the capital of the United States. Even the troubled main character lives in a cozy South Philadelphia row house.
Is this the same trash-strewn city where Bruce Willis roamed a deserted plague-stricken Earth in Twelve Monkeys and Eddie Murphy played a fake-blind beggar in Trading Places?
Though movies made and set in Philly are nothing new, the city's stock on theater screens has skyrocketed with the success of The Sixth Sense, which has earned more than $176 million to date. And with more movie productions fleeing Los Angeles for cheaper locations in the United States and overseas, Philadelphia is happy to grab part of the windfall.
"Philadelphia is photographed so beautifully and with so many people coming to see the movie it can't help but help us," said Kevin Feeley, the mavor's representative.
Philadelphia has long been the backdrop for stories about blue-collar heroes earning respect, from Paul Newman's social climber in The Young Philadelphiaians to Jimmy Stewart's snobby writer pining after Katharine Hepburn's debutante in The Philadelphia Story. Rocky and Trading Places were also about bottom-skimmers pulling themselves up by their bootstraps.
In between have been movies using the city to look like somewhere else Independence Day, The Peacemaker and Seven, and films like The Age of Innocence and Beloved that filled the streets with dirt to recall the city's 19th-century heddy.
Philadelphia credits its latest bout in the limelight to native son M. Night Shyamalan, a 29-year-old who wrote and directed The Sixth Sense. He also filmed last year's Wide Awake, about a 10-year-old
boy's search for God, in the Philadelphia suburb of Bryn Mawr.
"I have a strong affinity for this place," Shyamalan said from his office in Consohocken, outside Philadelphia. "It's a city where you can borrow its natural character or use it as a stand-in for other cities. You can literally do anything here."
The buzz around Philadelphia can only help Shyamalan and other hometown directors such as Brian De Palma and Elaine May, because every movie strengthens the city's infrastructure of crew, production support and experience.
"Whether it's Philadelphia or The Sixth Sense, it gives Philadelphia an identity as a feature film place. It's entertaining people, and it's giving them just a hint of what is here, and that's a nice benefit," said director Eugene Martin, a native Philadelphian who has made two independent films here.
Actor Steve Buscemi is directing his second movie, Animal Factory, with Willem Dafoe and Edward Furlong at Holmesburg Prison in suburban Philadelphia; NYPD Blue director Darnell Martin is planning his movie, *Prison Song*, here.
Philadelphia has always had a stable of homegrown stars, from W.C. Fields and Grace Kelly to Bill Cosby and Sylvester Stallone. Kevin Bacon, Richard Gere, Blythe Danner and Linda Florentino were all born in Philadelphia.
Native son Will Smith has proposed a sound stage and production studio in South Philadelphia — a plan that has gained momentum because of The Sixth Sense.
"I can't imagine anyone on this planet who would benefit more from what they are planning than myself," said Shyamalam, who anticipates making a movie every 18 months. He said he planned to talk with Smith's brother, Harry, about supporting the project.
In the end, any movie featuring Philadelphia is good, as far as the city's film office is concerned.
"People's attitudes about a place are very much influenced by movies, and when the world gets to see Philadelphia on the big screen, it almost doesn't matter what movie it is," said Sharon Pinkenson, executive director of the Greater Philadelphia Film Office. "The more movies the better."
Miss America pageant gets up close, personal
The Associated Press
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. Eager to lure new viewers and desperate to bring back old ones, Miss America has tried just about everything to appeal to viewers in recent years.
She held a call-in poll on the bathing suit competition. She let viewers choose their favorite contest. And she has tinkered endlessly with nearly every aspect of the annual live telecast from Convention Hall.
No luck. The ratings still sag like a wet one-piece.
Once a prime-time winner, the pageant's Nielsen ratings have set record lows in each of the past three years. NBC-TV, which had carried it for more than 40 years, gave up on it in 1996.
ABC hasn't had much success, either.
But network and pageant officials are trying another first this year, and it just may work for the 79th annual Miss America Pageant airing 7 p.m.
Saturdav.
ABC will air a one-hour special at 9 p.m. tonight to introduce the 51 women vying for the crown.
Up Close & Personal: The Search for Miss America 2000 with Miss America 1999 Nicole Johnson and Access Hollywood anchor Nancy O'Dell as hosts, gives brief profiles of each contestant. The individual segments, which average about 40 seconds apiece, showcase the women in their own hometowns, talking about their lives and their values.
The idea stemmed from an up close and personal experiment in last year's telecast. Videos of the 10 semifinalists, shot in their hometowns, were incorporated into the show. Viewers loved it, according to Robert Beck, CEO of the pageant.
By expanding the idea into a prime-time special airing two days before the pageant itself, ABC and the pageant hope to snag viewers early and give them a reason to tune in Saturday.

Despite cash blues, Bo Diddley still rockin' at 70
The Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Bo Diddley's greatest claim to fame may not be his induction on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, nor his star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, nor his lifetime achievement award from the Grammys.
It was a Nike commercial.
Already a rock and blues icon, Diddley entered the American consciousness after a 1989 "Bo Knows" commercial for Nike. Commenting on football and baseball star Bo Jackson's guitar skills, Bo Diddley turned to the camera and said, "He don't know Diddley."
But this 70-year-old rocker, famous for his innovative use of rhythm, his square homemade guitar, dark glasses and black hat, has not reaped the financial rewards to go along with his music awards.
"I never could figure out what it had to do with shoes, but it worked," Diddley says. "I got into a lot of new front rooms on the tube. I thank Nike and Bo Jackson for doing it."
"It didn't put no figures in my checkbook," he said angrily, although he appreciated the honors.
The need for money and not just a love of music keeps him constantly on the road, playing county fairs, small casinos, private parties and music halls.
"If you ain't got no money, ain't nobody calls you穷oney," he said.
He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland in 1987, followed by the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1989, and received his lifetime achievement award from the Grammys in 1998.
"It just told people they thought enough of Bo Diddley for me to be honored by putting my name on something, which was really great. But it didn't put no bucks in my kitty." Diddley said.
Diddley said he only received a small portion of the money he should have made during his career. Like other artists of his generation, he was paid a flat fee for his recordings and received no royalty payments on record sales. He also said he was never paid for many of his performances.
"I am owed. I've never got paid." he said. "A dude with a pencil is worse than a cat with a machine gun."
In 1994, he claimed to be $300,000 in debt and was paying for a large home in
Hawthorne, about 20 miles outside Gainesville. He later divorced and moved to a secluded area outside Bronson, about 40 miles to the west. "My kids were deprived of going to college," he said. "The money I was making wasn't enough to send them somewhere."
Touring at his age doesn't trouble him.
"Seventy ain't nothing but a damn number," he said. "I'm writing and creating new stuff and putting together new different things. Trying to stay out there and roll with the punches. I ain't quit vet."
Born Ellas Bates on Dec. 30, 1928, in McComb, Miss., Diddley was later adopted by his mother's cousin and took on the name Ellas McDaniel, which his new wife, Sylvia, still calls him.
His family moved to Chicago when he was 5. He took violin lessons at the Ebenezer Baptist Church and learned guitar at age 10, when he began playing on street corners.
The name Bo Diddley came from other youngsters.
"I don't know where the kids got it, but the kids in grammar school gave me that name," he said. He liked it and made it
"Diddley — that word has been around for a long, long time. When I was a kid, my mother used to say, 'You don't know diddley squat,'"
his stage name.
Diddley was playing Chicago's Maxwell Street in his early teens.
He was signed to the Chess and Checkers record labels in 1955. His first single, "Bo Diddley," went to No.2 on the rhythm and blues charts.
"His Chess recordings stand among the best singular recordings of the 20th century," said Howard Kramer, assistant curator of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.
But many artists, including the Rolling Stones, the Who, Bruce Springsteen, Buddy Holly, George Michael and Elvis Costello copied Diddley's style.
Diddley said he had no musical influences growing up. "I don't like to copy anybody.Everybody tries to do what I do, update it.I don't have any idols I copied after."
"They copied everything I did, upgraded it, messed it up. It seems to me that nobody can come up with their own thing, they have to put a little bit of Bo
Diddley there." he said.
Diddley was a pioneer of the electric guitar, adding reverb and tremolo.
"He treats it like it was a drum, very rhythmic," said E. Michael Harrington, music theory and composition professor at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn.
But despite his technique and talent, Diddley said disc jockeys in the early 1950s called his work jungle music. It wasn't until the pioneering disc jockey Alan Freed came up with the term "rock-and-roll" that Diddley's music found a home on mainstream radio.
Dudley said Freed was talking about him, recalling Freed's introduction before an Apollo Theater concert: "Here is a man with an original sound, who is going to rock and roll you right out of your seat."
Diddley's major hits included, "Say Man," "You Can't Judge a Book By Its Cover," "I'm A Man," "Shave and a Haircut," "Uncle John" and "The Mule."
"I came out of school and made something out of myself," he said. "I am known all over the globe, all over the world."
African-Americans recognized in book about composers
Legacy of contributions by artists remembered in new music dictionary
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Music is about making beautiful sounds. For Sam Floyd, it also is about recognition — something he says many black composers have failed to receive.
As a remedy, Floyd has helped gather the legacy of five centuries of music composition into a two-volume, 1,273-page reference book called the International Dictionary of Black Composers.
"Many of these people, other than composers of classical music, have not been treated as composers," said Floyd, director of the Center for Black Music Research at Chicago's Columbia College. "They have been treated as musicians and performers. This shows there is another side to these people."
Profiled are long-ignored classical composers, creators of turn-of-the-century marches and ragtime music, mid-century jazz composers and writers of more recent popular music.
The dictionary, edited by Floyd, includes biographies and critical essays. It lists the works of composers such as pop icon Curtis Mayfield, best known for his 1965 hit "People Get Ready," and jazz greats Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington ("Mood Indigo," "Sophisticated Lady") and his cohort Billy Strayhorn ("Satin Doll," "Lush Life").
It does have some glaring omissions; the composers of many Motown hits of the 1960s and 1970s are not mentioned. Floyd said they will be added in later editions.
Classical music composers comprise the largest group of artists profiled, with 87 listings. Among them is Vicente Lusitano of Portugal — whose book of 23 motets, or sacred music, "Liber pimus epigramatum," in 1551 makes him the first black composer known to have his music published.
"They have been treated as musicians and performers. This shows there is another side to these people."
Sam Floyd
director of the Center for Black Music Research at
Chicago's Columbia College
Reference books profiling composers and musicians are used both by scholars and by music groups seeking material to perform, said Northwestern University professor M. William Karlins.
Floyd's dictionary may be part of a trend, he added.
"A lot of people who were neglected are now getting attention because white, European composers have gotten all the attention for the last several hundred years," Karlins said.
The dictionary was the idea of Chicago-
based Fitzroy Dearborn Publishers. Publisher George Walsh said the large number of reference works that focus on white composers motivated him to turn to Floyd to give the field some balance.
Floyd said the time and money needed to create such a dictionary — it took five years to produce — and a perceived lack of a market discouraged others from doing so.
"They saw a significant need for this," Floyd said of Fitzroy Dearborn. "I wanted to do it. But I wanted it to be different from other such works."
Floyd enlisted 108 music scholars to write essays about the dictionary's 185 composers.
Classical and jazz composers whose music was recorded or published were considered for inclusion. For blues, researchers also considered how the artists' style influenced others in the field. For instance, Blind Lemon Jefferson — a soft tawny blues singer-guitarist who froze
For instance, Blind Lemon Jefferson — a self-taught blues singer-guitarist who froze to death in a 1929 Chicago snowstorm at
age 36 — was a prolific recorder of music in the four years before his death. His complex and rapid guitar playing influenced later blues guitarists, according to David Evans, a University of Memphis music professor.
Howard University music professor James Weldon Norris said the dictionary is a necessity, particularly when it comes to classical music. A lack of knowledge about black composers means their music is seldom performed, he said.
"Not only are they not known in general, but black people don't know them because they are not being taught," said Norris, who as director of the Howard University Chorus includes a new or unknown work by a black composer in all of the choir's performances.
"So many are neglected," he said. "There is a long list of African-Spanish, African-Portuguese and African-Indian composers. They were the most famous and talented musicians of their time" in the 1600s.

Music
Arista's Davis continues 'all-timer' star streak
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Clive Davis has a knack.
He can smell talent a mile away and when he does, watch out world.
Davis, the 65-year-old president and founder of Arista Records, has helped launch the careers of Whitney Houston, Sarah McLachlan, Bruce Springsteen and scores of others.
"I signed Patti Smith, the great Renaissance woman. I signed Lou Reed. I signed the Grateful Dead," says Davis, casually recalling some of his major coups while sitting at his desk in his midtown Manhattan office.
It's not that he's trying to brag. It's simply his matter-of-fact way of explaining his ability to seize onto what he calls the "all-timers" — artists like Billy Joel and Janis Joplin, who he also signed, by the way.
"I wait to be turned on," Davis says. "If I'm not turned on in seven months, I'll sign nobody. I mean, I don't have a quota of who I sign. I've got to feel it."
Davis has been feeling it for more than three decades — first, as a top executive and president at CBS Records, and then as the head of Arista Records, which he started after leaving CBS 25 years ago.
The label's current top acts — Houston, McLachlan, Monica — along with new stars like soul singer Deborah Cox and rhythm and blues quartet Next — are largely responsible for the label's $245 million in sales, as well as, of course, Davis, who is involved in every aspect of a record's production, from studio to release.
Davis remains not only a major player, but a trend setter who signed trailblazers like Sean "Puffy" Combs and producers L.A. Reid and Babyface before they became superstars.
He has also helped revitalize lagging careers. Aretha Franklin lately has flourished at Arista after a few years on a downward spiral, and Santana's latest release, Supernatural, has hit Billboard's top 10 and produced a hit with "Smooth." The Artist Formerly Known as Prince may be looking for Davis to help tweak his sagging commercial appeal — he just signed to Arista in August, his first deal with a record label since 1996.
"I think the thing that makes Clive stand out is his love of talent and his love of music," says Reid, who together with Babyface signed a deal with Arista to develop LaFace Records 10 years ago. The label is now home to such multiplatinum acts as TLC, Toni Braxton and Usher.
"He's probably the most thorough executive that we've ever met. He's involved in the process from beginning to end, and I think that's what makes him special."
Davis has been a co-producer of many albums,
including Whitney Houston's latest platinum effort, Your Love Is My Love. Davis, who signed the 36-year-old singer to Arista when she was just 19, helped arrange collaborations between Houston and Fugees' sensations Wyclef Jean and Lauryn Hill. He also worked with Houston to pick the songs on the album. The result is perhaps Houston's most critically acclaimed album of her career.
"I have been her executive producer and creative partner since day one. I screen all her material and she and I pick it. We're very much a creative partnership. Whitney and I," Davis says.
Davis, a New York City native who lost both his parents at an early age, put himself through law school and started working at CBS Records as a lawyer in 1960. He rose to become president of the company in 1967 — even though he had no musical background. That forced him to take a crash course in the record business — from show music to rock.
"The first artist I ever signed was Janis Joplin. I felt my way," he recalled, recounting when he first saw the rock legend at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. He also saw budding singer/songwriter Laura Nyro, and snapped her up as well.
"I learned from that experience, and by coincidence, I came home, I went to a small club in the village, and I saw a group in formation that was quite innovative, brilliant — that group turned out to be Blood. Sweat and Tears."
He signed them, too, and then came Santana, Billy Joel, Aerosmith and Springsteen. With so much success, Davis was on top of the world.
But he came crashing down in 1973, when the record label accused him of mismanagement of funds, and he was fired. Although Davis says he was later cleared, it wasn't the end of his problems; he later was indicted on tax evasion charges, pleaded guilty to one count and had to pay a $10,000 fine.
Davis rebounded from the scandal with a vengeance. A year after his departure from CBS, he started the Arista label, with backing from Columbia Pictures, and CBS records.
"I think a combination of getting payment of $1 million from them and the ultimate exoneration of any problems that were charged never really cure the pain of something that occurred that was unjust, but you learn in life to move on," he said.
Move on he did. During the years, Davis used his eye for talent to build the company from a young upstart to one of the industry's formidable labels, and did so by staying true to his vision — signing "all-timers."
"The challenge is to pick artists that are going to be long lasting artists and not just fads of the moment," he said, rattling off a list of Arista's roster. "I mean, Alan Jackson is an all-timer. Brooks & Dunn are all-timers. I mean, on the LaFace front, with L.A. and Babyface. TLC started with Kris Kross. Who's around? It'S TLC."
New Releases
Coming out of the same college town that produced R.E.M. and the B-52s, Widespread Panic has built a devoted following by emulating a West Coast band also known for extended jams, both live and in the studio, and experimental stylings.
Til The Medicine Takes Widespread Panic
But on Til the Medicine Takes, the band once hailed as the next Grateful Dead refocuses itself and its songs to make itself more appealing to pop audiences already familiar with its Athens, Ga. brethren — with frustratingly mixed results.
Make no mistake, the sound — a cross between the Southern rock of the '70s and psychedelia of the '60s — will be familiar to longtime "Spreadheads." But while each tune is shortened to manageable lengths, the album is certainly no hit-single factory.
That's not necessarily a bad thing, as shown on "Climb to Safety." With its harmony, power-chord hook and ragged electric piano, the tale of a scary train ride is the closest Widespread Panic can come to a Top 40 sound while retaining its distinctive style.
But in an attempt to become more approachable by listeners at large, the band brings in some outside help, including veteran producer John Keane and The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, and there is just a sense of something getting lost in the process.
At least Widespread Panic can't be faulted for trying something new. How many 10-minute jams can you listen to on one record, anyway?
Commentary
Rough Harvest John Mellencamp
Call this John Mellencamp's attempt at an "Unplugged" album. Rough Harvest appears on the surface to be a throwaway project and an attempt to cash in on the craze started by the acoustic-style MTV performance show.
But instead, the record gives new depths to the work of one of the most prolific artists of the last two decades.
Using stripped-down arrangements, Mellencamp revisits some of the best songs of the latter stages of his career, with the few years he's added also giving needed depth to such socially challenging songs as "Love and Happiness" and "Jackie Brown."
And the gravel in his voice — the result of a lot of hard touring and even harder living in his early days — doesn't do any harm to "Minutes to Memories," a tale of an old man telling his life story on a bus ride through the Midwest, or "Human Wheels," which gets a dose of humanity missing in the original studio version.
The lineer notes say this is the kind of music Mellencamp and his crack band play when they just want to play music. Perhaps they should play this way all the time.

Lawrence parks offer variety
By Leah Shaffer
Special to the Kansan
Lawrence may have its night life covered with a variety of bars and clubs. But that leaves the more non-nocturnal types wanting.
Fortunately for them, Lawrence offers 40 parks and recreational centers, and more are being developed.
"If you ask the public, one of the most popular parks in Lawrence is South Park," said Fred DeVictor, director of parks and recreation for Lawrence.
There also is a variety of pools and ponds throughout the city. The municipal swimming pool is located at Watson Park, between Tennessee and Kentucky streets. During winter months, students can use the pool at Robinson Center. However, Robinson soon will have competition.
Located off Massachusetts Street, South Park offers the public a gazebo and fountain. It also is home to yearly music festivals and activities.
"We open bids in another week on the $9.5 billion aquatic center that will eventually become the Lawrence Indoor Aquatic Center," said DeVictor. This new pool complex is set to be completed by spring 2001.
All one really needs for the game of ultimate frisbee is a partner and a plot of grass. However, frisbee golf is another matter. The game is basically golf, except. instead of hitting small balls into

"Centennial is a really good park," said Neil Harnden, Leawood senior. Except they don't change the pin placements often enough. Other than that, it is really kept up well."
Maps for the 18-hole course can be picked up at all of the city's recreation centers as well as Bucky's Drive In, 2126 Louisiana St., and Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop, 802 Massachusetts St.
Centennial Park also contains a new, 12.306 square foot skate park equipped with features including pyramids, a fun box, a half-pipe and a quarter-pipe. Centennial also is a favorite place for sledders and ice skaters.

"There will be lots of different nature programs that we will offer," said DeVictor. "It's going to be a asset to the city."
For more information about Prairie Park and other area parks, officials encouraged residents to go to the community building, 115 W.11th St.
The second of two public meetings addressing parks and recreation will be held at 7:30 today at Holcom Park Recreation Center on 2700 W. 27th St.
"The intent of these meetings is to listen to citizens, as to their needs," said DeVictor. "We just want their direct input."

Area golf courses formidable, fun
By Zac Hunter Special to the Kansan
For Kansas students who play golf, or those who are thinking of trying their hand at the gentlemen's pastime there are some fine golf courses to choose from in the Lawrence and surrounding areas.
Eagle Bend, located near Clinton Lake, is one of the area's newer courses and brings a unique blend of difficulty and playability to those who venture onto its tee boxes.
"Is this a championship course? Yes it is," said Jim Kane, Director of Golf at Eagle Bend.
Eagle Bend is an 18 hole, 6,812 yard course that has a par of 72. Hole No. 16 features a split fairway that measures 560 yards from tee box to green. The divided fairway allows golfers to play to their strength by going left or right.
"It is challenging for the scratch golfer, but very playable for the beginner." Kane said.
Brad Shepard, Coffeyville senior, said Eagle Bend was tougher than many courses he'd played.
"If you get into trouble there, it's a lot harder to get out." he said.
Alvamar Orchards Executive golf course is located on 15th Street in Lawrence. Being only nine holes, Alvamar Orchards caters to the time and cash restraints of a college student.
Hole No. five of this 1,775-yard course is a par four that has houses to the right and a fairway that slants left into a creek. In order to reach the green, the golfer must carry a creek that runs perpendicular to the fairway about 100 yards from the tee.
Heading east on Kansas Highway 10 there are two more courses that fit into a student's proximity and price range.
"It was a great way to get out and test your game, but you didn't have to spend five hours doing it," said Tyler Cundith, Sports Information Director and golf instructor at Johnson County Community College.
In De Soto, Oak Country Club is considered a shorter course than

most, only stretching out to 4,000 yards. This course is perfect for those who are picking up the sticks for the first time.
"They kind of expect the beginning golfer to go out there," Cundith said.
Although it is short, Oak Country Club does have some challenging holes, including one of the only island greens in Kansas. Hole No. 18 is 125 yards and must be played from an elevated tee box.
Oak Country was in the news during the summer when Cundith smashed a 480 yard hole-in-one.
A little farther east in Bonner Springs is Sunflower Hills golf course. This course is perfect for those golfers who want to show off their long drives.
At a distance of more than 6,500 yards and a par of 72. Sunflower Hills could be a difficult course for beginners, but would offer plenty of time to use every club in the bag.
"It can be demanding," Cundith said. "The back side is really long, and has a lot of hills."
Hole No. 15 at Sunflower Hills is a 464 yard par four. Although there are trees to the right and left, the fairway is not extremely tight. The problem this hole poses is the last 200 yards are on a downhill lie, playing to an elevated green.
However good or bad your game may be, four to five hours of relaxation or frustration can be had at any of these courses for around $20.

KU students spend Sundays as Chiefs cheerleaders
Spirit squad means more than cheers
By Danny Phillips Special to the Kansan
For two journalism students at the University of Kansas who have worked to become cheerleaders for the Kansas City Chiefs, their combined experiences on the Arrowhead Stadium sideline and in the community literally have been life-altering.
"Who would have thought making the squad would help me learn the true meaning of servanthood?"said Najahe Sherman, Lee's Summit, Mo., junior. "One thing that our director always says is that true happiness in life comes from putting other people before yourself."
That type of selfless devotion to the community is a hallmark of the Chiefs cheerleading squad and is one of the main reasons why Kansas City, Kan., senior Stephanie McCarty wanted to try out. Each year the cheerleaders make 60 to 80 public appearances and are an integral part in raising more than $60,000 annually for the Fox 4 Love Fund through a charity auction.
It's a major part of the squad's responsibility and dedication to the community off the playing field that most fans don't have an opportunity to see.
From the Beginning
It's no wonder that McCarty and Sherman are such good friends. Not only have they formed a bond from cheering professionally for the same team, but their upbringing and life pursuits also are strikingly similar.
McCarty was first exposed to the Chiefs cheerleading team as a senior at Piper High School, as was Sherman at Lee's Summit North High School. Both also were members of their high school dance teams.
That early preparation and experience paid off. In 1997, at the age of 19, McCarty made the squad on her second try. She is now in her third year of cheering, and looking back she realizes it has been one of the best decisions she's made.
"It has changed my life," McCarty said. "The program has made me more mature, poised and professional."
Sherman shares the same sentiments. She also made the squad on her second try at the age of 19, a year after McCarty, and is amazed
that the group of 34 women from diverse backgrounds can get along so well.
"We're so different, but we're all so talented that it's a great opportunity to learn the talents of other people, and you can learn from each other." Sherman said.
Grinding it out
Even though they are professionals, Chiefs cheerleaders can't make performing a full-time job. In fact, one prerequisite for being selected to the squad is being either a full-time student or holding a full-time job.
A typical practice week includes three-hour night practices on Monday and Wednesday, and a six-hour practice on Saturday mornings. They must learn three new dance routines for every game and must arrive late to practice.
"We're treated as professionals, so you're accountable for everything you do." McCarty said. "Regardless of the diversity of our ages, we are responsible and are treated equally."
After performing through a three-and-a-half-hour game, McCarty returns home utterly exhausted.
"The next day after a game I am incredibly sore," she said.
A juggling act
With so many balls in the air, sometimes it is hard to juggle a cheerleading life, a student life and a sorority life with only two hands. But somehow both women manage to persevere. Sherman, a Delta Delta Delta member, admits things can get a little hectic but said that it all came down to prioritizing and deciding what was most important.
"My education is definitely my top priority," she said. "It’s a sacrifice. I don’t have a lot of free time. But it’s so worth it. So many doors have been opened up, and I’ve met many incredible people."
McCarty, who calls the Alpha Delta Pi sorority house her home, also values her education but doesn't forget to have fun while she's at KU.
"I make it a point to maintain my social life." McCarty said. "My grades are fine. I think you have to determine what your values are. Mine happen to be school, family, cheerleading. I have those all in my forefront."
A farewell to stereotypes
all, they're a bunch of women, chosen solely by their looks, who enjoy dating the players, right? Wrong, at least as far the Chiefs organization is concerned.
As long as there have been professional cheerleaders, there also has been a preconceived impression of who they really are. After
The squad is forbidden to date players, there is virtually no fraternization and the selection process is a lot more grueling than one might think.
"The Chiefs organization is nothing like any other NFL organization," Sherman said. "A lot of NFL cheerleading squads are based solely on the way you look, your fitness or your body, and that's totally not what our organization is based around. Ninety-nine percent of what we do is based on our character."
During the annual tryouts, candidates are put through a personal interview evaluation, which is weighed heavily into their overall scores, Sherman said. Questions are geared toward the woman's overall character and standards.
And don't forget the community work.
"One of the reasons I wanted to try out is because I wanted to be involved with the community," McCarty said. "It's more than cheerleading; it's also speaking to the community. It's a lot of work outside of practice."
"This does not compare to anything I've ever done in my life," McCarty said.
Lessons learned
She's become comfortable with her role now and, at times, almost takes for granted the position she's in.
"I can't believe I'm part of this organization — that I'm down on the field cheering at the games," she said.
For Sherman, her overall countenance and character has been raised as a result of joining the squad, and she is pleased by the amount of doors this opportunity has opened.
"The connections you make and the skills you gain allow you to deal with all different personality types, and that's such a replica of what you face in the real world when you-get out in the workplace," she said.
The job isn't without its perks either. If there's one thing both of them have learned from getting so close to the ultimate game with the Chiefs, it's that awaiting them at the end of a Super Bowl victory, just as with the players, is a Super Bowl ring for all 34 squad members.

College and pro teams feed local sports hunger
By Ryan Malashock Special to the Kansan
The spectator sports scene in and around Lawrence provides an abundance of opportunities for both die-hard Jayhawks and avid fans of professional sports.
After a season-opening loss at Notre Dame, the Kansas football team was victorious last Saturday against California State-Northridge. The Jayhawks will travel to Colorado this Saturday and return to Lawrence for a Sept. 25 meeting with the San Diego State Aztecs.
With six remaining home games this season, there are still many chances to see Kansas football in action. The Jayhawks will play home games against rival Missouri on Oct. 23 and Nebraska on Oct. 30. Single game tickets cost just $5 for students and are on sale at the Kansas tickets office.
"I'm really pumped to go to all of the games this year, especially since tickets don't cost that much money," said Ann Weiss, Omaha, Neb, freshman. Weiss purchased an all-sports ticket, which got her football and basketball tickets for $99.
Once again, the Kansas volleyball team has jumped out to a great start this season. The Jayhawks sprinted out to a 4-0 record after winning the West Virginia volleyball tournament Sept. 3-4. After finishing play in the Jayhawk Classic, the team
will travel to Knoxville, Tennessee to participate in a tournament with Lehigh University, Eastern Michigan University, and the University of Tennessee.
After a long road trip, the team will return home to play Texas on Oct. 22 in the Horeisi Family Athletics Center. A chance to check out the new $3.8 million facility is another reason to cheer on the volleyball team as they head into Big 12 play. Students are admitted free to all Kansas volleyball games with a valid KUID.
Students also can see all of the women's soccer games free with a valid KUID this season. The women's soccer team began the season 2-2, with victories against Wyoming and Weber State. After last week's match at Missouri, the soccer team will play Georgia tomorrow and Southwest Missouri State Tuesday.
Finally on Sept. 24, the squad will return home to play in the KU Credit Union Jayhawk Invitational. Kansas, Creighton University, Drury University, and Centenary University will battle for the title. All home games are played at Super Target Field, located behind Oliver Hall. Freshman soccer player Bridget Goyen remarked on how important crowd support was.
"I know that our team would get pretty fired up if a lot of students came to our games." Goyen said. Some fans like the excitement of
professional sports, which is a short drive away in Kansas City. The National Football League's Chiefs, Major League Baseball's Royals, and Major League Soccer's Wizards offer students a chance to get away from campus and enjoy watching talented professional athletes.
The Chiefs play their home games at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. The team will take on the Denver Broncos on Sunday, the Detroit Lions on Sept. 26, and the New England Patriots on Oct. 10. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Chiefs ticket office at 1-816-920-9400.
Some fans like the excitement of
Although suffering the secondworst record in Major League Baseball, the Kansas City Royals are still a main attraction for baseball fans. Kauffman Stadium, a ballpark highlighted by its outfield fountains, is home to the Royals. The team will round out its season with a homestand from Sept. 28 to Oct. 3 against the Cleveland Indians and Detroit Tigers. The Royals ticket office, 1-800-676-9257, can answer all ticket information questions.
Also playing home games at Arrowhead Stadium are the Kansas City Wizards. The Wizards compete in the highest division of professional soccer and top soccer players from around the world. The Wizards take on Dallas Sept. 18 and Colorado Sept.25. Wizards ticket information can be obtained by calling 1-816-472-4625.

Build-A-Bear customizes stuffed animal shopping
By Leah Glaser Special to the Kansan
Students tired of the typical clothing and variety mall stores can find a new experience at Oak Park Mall in Overland Park. The Build-A-Bear Workshop, is a one-stop shop for a customized teddy bear.
Located at 95th and Quivera streets, the Build-A-Bear Workshop offers more than just bears. The workshop has a variety of warm and fuzzy animals; the dilemma for customers may be choosing just one.
Once customers have chosen their animals, both customer and toy are ready to conquer the store. The process begins with the stuffing—and because no animal is complete without one—each one receives a heart. A small, red heart is given to the new animal owner with simple instructions: Rub it, make it warm and kiss both sides.
Next the new animal is stitched up and carried to the fluffy bathtub where he is stuffed.
"There are no excuses," said Pat Decourcy, assistant manager at the workshop. "Every animal must leave with a heart full of love."
Bear construction continues on a computer where the new toys are given names and are registered in the workshop directory through a special barcode. To make the process official, owners receive a birth certificate or a children's book. The whole package ranges from $10 to $25.
"There are no excuses. Every animal must leave with a heart full of love."
Pat Decourcy
Assistant workshop manager
"It's an amazing idea," said Angie Scaletty, Lawrence sophomore. "My favorite part is the fluffy bathtub."
Beyond the stuffing, there is a world of extras for the new bear. Sweet messages or giggles can be added for about $5. There also is a variety of clothing options ranging from $3 to $15.
Employees said the store usually was busy, but the lines moved swiftly through the bear-making process.
The workshop celebrates its second birthday this year.
Oak Park mall is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Gay couples differ about Lawrence acceptance
By Lesley Simmons writer@ukans.edu Kansan staff writer
Faking it
Although Topeka-based anti-gay minister Fred Phelps may picket University events with signs reading "Gay U." two homosexual couples on campus say that most students don't take issue with their occasional public displays of affection.
Ryan Snodgrass, Kansas City, Kan. senior and Ryen Anderson, Lawrence sophomore have been together for eight months, and they do hold hands and kiss in public.
"It seemed like a natural occurrence," said Anderson about the first time the couple kissed in public.
He said he tried to adhere to some boundaries for public displays of affection to keep from making people uncomfortable, but he doesn't restrict himself anymore than one half of a straight couple would.
"One thing that has surprised me is the lack of queer people who are out, and the resistance to being out," DuttaAhmed said.
However, Shantanu DuttaAhmed, assistant professor of American Studies, said that he had never seen a male couple together in public in Lawrence. DuttaAhmed, who is gay, has lived in Lawrence for two years, after living in Los Angeles for 17 years. He said that the homosexual community in Lawrence was much less visible than in Los Angeles.
He said he had noticed that because he was out to his students, he gave his homosexual students not just a comfortable space, but also a political voice that might be marginalized in a classroom with a straight professor.
DuttaAhmed also said he wished that gay people in Lawrence were more visible, instead of trying to pass in straight culture and then being gay at Tremors on Wednesday night, which is the designated night at the club for homosexuals.
"Downtown you'll see it more, at most of the coffee shops," said Rowland, who is a Wichita graduate student.
Buck Rowland, Gay Bisexual Lesbian Transgendered liaison, said he didn't see many couples on campus, gay or straight, and so he wasn't surprised that some people had never seen a homosexual couple on campus.
Students making a license to drink may not like the attention their IDs get By Katie Hollar • Graphic by Kyle Ramsey
Two years ago. Erin Dougherty stood in line waiting to get inside a bar. She wasn't 21 years old yet, but she had a fake ID.
"It had been passed down through my sorority, and it was great," said Dougherty, Overland Park senior. "I had used it for three months."
When she reached the front of the line, the bouncer examined her fake driver's license and asked her several questions about the information on the front. Dougherty answered everything correctly.
Would the real ID please step forward ...
She thought she was in until the bouncer refused to give her the ID back.

Dates — Besides checking today's date with the 21 cutoff, dates in the "not 21 until..." box are compared with the date of birth.

"Finally he said, 'You did really well, but it's my girlfriend's license. She's been trying to find it,'" Dougherty said. "It was so embarrassing."

After he snatched the ID, the bouncer let her into the bar. But Dougherty said the run-in scared her straight, and she never used a fake ID again.
For many underage students, a fake ID can be a passport into Lawrence's nightlife — or a ticket for trouble.

On Jan. 15, Lawrence police found equipment used for making fake driver's licenses at Sailler's room in Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. The officers had been called to the house to investigate a possible burglary.
If Saitler violates the conditions of his probation, he will spend six months in the Douglas County Jail.
"I made a stupid mistake as a pledge," said Sailler in a
statement before the court yesterday. "I've made a number of lifestyle changes since." Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence Police Department said penalties were stiff for fake IDs. If convicted of using fraudulent identification, minors could face either a $200 fine, 30 days in jail or both.
Wheeler said he remembered one particularly preposterous fake ID: a driver's license with the name of infamous bank robber, John Dillinger.
Austin Lauxman, a doorman at the Jazzhaus, 926 1/2
Massachusetts St., said he had seen a multitude of bad fake IDs.
"I once had a guy give me an ID that belonged to my best friend's roommate," he said. "I laughed, told him to leave and to tell Keith I said hi."
and to tell Ken I said hi. Lauxman said he'd seen a lot of computer-generated fake IDs in recent months.
"They don't have a hologram, they're just scanned," he said. "This girl came in the other night, and her picture was totally distorted from the computer printer."

Flute, CDs reported stolen from Murphy Hall rooms
Murphy Hall has been the site of a series of burglaries during the past two weeks.
Between Sept. 8 and Tuesday, three burglaries were reported by students and Murphy Hall staff members.
An Armstrong flute and case, valued at $1,000, were stolen between Sept. 10 and Tuesday from room 200 in Murphy Hall.
In two other instances, a total of 60 CDs were stolen between Sept. 8 and Tuesday from rooms 216 and 220 in Murphy Hall. The CDs were valued at $900.
Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office said that his department did not have any suspects.
"We will continue to look into the burglaries to see if they are connected in any way," Mailen said. "When you have burglaries that happen in a close time frame like these do there is a chance that they could be connected."
No one injured in fire at Pi Beta Phi sorority
A fire started at 10:50 a.m. yesterday at the Pi Beta Phi sorior house, 1612 W. 15th St. No one was injured
Lt. Doug Green of the Lawrence Fire and Medical Department said that the fire started on the third floor of the house where a construction worker had been welding.
"While one of the construction workers was welding some steel decking on the third floor, he noticed the smoke," Green said. "It took a little while once we got here for us to find where the smoke was coming from, but once we found it, we were able to put out the smoldering fire immediately."
The house is being renovated by the Fritzel Gene Construction Co. of Lawrence.

Ribbon-cutting ceremony will open nature center
Lawrence's new $950,000 nature center will make its public debut tomorrow with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and various activities to acquaint residents with the building.
The ribbon cutting for the Prairie Park Nature Center, 2730 Harper St., will take place at 9:30 a.m. and will be followed by a dedication of local artist Jon Havener's sculpture "Occurrence," said Lisa Patterson, recreation marketing supervisor of Lawrence Parks and Recreation.
Other activities include self-guided tours of the center, a "meet the Prairie Park staff" session at 1 p.m. and a butterfly tagging demonstration at 2 p.m.
Patterson said that the center featured nine permanent displays including aquariums, reptiles and butterfly- and bird-watching areas.
The 5,500 square foot building is in the 71-acre Prairie Park. The geographic features of the park will be interpreted through exhibits and education programs planned for the nature center.
Regular building hours will be 9 a.m to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.

Kansas City elevator falls; four passengers injured
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Four people were injured Wednesday night when an elevator fell six floors in an apartment building.
Kansas City fire officials said the elevator was carrying six people in the Ambassador Apartments about 8 p.m. when it fell from the fifth floor to the basement.
Battalion Chief Gary Birch said passengers crawled out of the elevator from the basement. They made their way upstairs to the lobby, where they were treated for back and neck injuries. The injuries were not considered life-threatening.

Ft. Worth killer's motive still unknown to police
FORT WORTH, Texas — Police picked through Larry Gene Ashbrook's trashed home and old journals yesterday, finding holes punched in walls, concrete poured in toilets and family photographs shredded — but no explanation for why he opened fire in a church, killing eight people.
The 47-year-old Ashbrook appeared to be a very troubled man, said FBI agent Robert Garrity said.
"I don't know that we'll ever know the answer to the question of why it happened," he said.
Ashbrook, dressed in blue jeans, a black jacket and smoking a cigarette, entered the Wedgwood Baptist Church in Fort Worth on Wednesday evening as teen-agers listened to a Christian rock band in the sanctuary.
In the church lobby, Ashbrook confronted his first victims with a question: "What's the program?" Then he shot a jailtor who approached him and killed two other people before walking into the crowded sanctuary
The 150 teen-agers gathered inside initially thought Ashbrook was part of a skit as he began cursing and spouting derogatory comments about Baptists. They scrawled for cover as Ashbrook opened fire, pausing at least twice to reload.
Ashbrook killed himself in a rear pew

NEWARK, N.J. — A suicide note left by Mexico's former deputy attorney general implicated President Ernesto Zedillo and members of the country's ruling party in the slaying of the one-time prosecutor's brother.
Suicide note implicates Mexico's ruling party
"To find my brother's murderers an investigation should be initiated beginning with Zedillo," said Mario Ruiz Massieu in the note distributed today by his U.S. lawyer.
In Mexico City, Attorney General Jorge Madrazo Cuellar dismissed the letter left behind by Ruiz Massieu.
"Mario Ruiz Massieu lived lying and died lying," Cueller said.
Ruiz Massieu, Mexico's former top drug prosecutor, was found dead Wednesday in an apparent suicide two days before he was to be arraigned in Houston on U.S. charges of laundering $9.9 million in suspected drug payoffs.
Swedish teen not guilty in Internet crime case
STOCKHOLM—A Swedish teen-ager has been accused of charges that he made copyright-protected recordings available free on the Internet.
Tommy Olsson, 17, was accused of spreading pop hits such as Madonna's "Ray of Light" through his Web page. However, the court said he was innocent because he only posted links to other sites on the Internet where the music files could be found.
The links functioned as road signs helping Internet surfers find music files. Web users then could listen to the songs or record them.
The case reportedly was the first of its kind in Europe.

Carolinas Mid-Atlantic hit by Floyd
WILMINGTON, N.C. — Hurricane Floyd roared ashore yesterday near Cape Fear with 110 mph wind, then quickly weakened after flooding the coasts of the Carolinas and Virginia with more than a foot of rain and chasing tens of thousands of people into shelters.
The Associated Press
By 5 p.m., as the center of the storm was about 10 miles south of Atlantic City, N.J., it was downgraded to a tropical storm again, as sustained winds fell to 65 mph.
Some 1.4 million utility customers from South Carolina to New Jersey lost power, and 125,000 still had no power today in Florida. Flooding and power failures combined to shut down the Portsmouth, Va., water supply system, which serves 110,000 customers.
Schools were closed today for more than 2 million vounters.
At least seven deaths were blamed on Floyd.
However, since Floyd struck the coast about 3 a.m., the top-sustained wind fell quickly, down to about 75 mph, and by late afternoon to 65 mph, the National Hurricane Center said. The minimum wind speed for a storm to be called a hurricane is 74 mph.
President Clinton declared a major disaster yesterday in North Carolina, and released $528 million to the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help hurricane victims.
'Out of Focus named as theme for 51st Revue
By Emily Hughey writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The theme for this year's Rock Chalk Revue is in the clear.
But it's "Out of Focus" nevertheless.
This year's theme, "Out of Focus," was unveiled to representatives from 24 living organizations last night at Parlors A, B and C in the Kansas Union.
Each year, living organizations are invited to pair up to develop a script, music, choreography and set design surrounding the given theme. Then, after creating a show and submitting it to a selection committee for judging, five pairs are selected to perform their musical in the revue that spring. The revue, a student-organized and performed compilation of minmusicals, donates proceeds from the show to the United Way each year.
Marie Mossberger. Overland Park senior and the revue's executive director, said the 16-student Rock Chalk advisory committee
brainstormed and finalized the theme Wednesday night. "We went through probably about 500 different ideas," Mossberger said. "This one stuck out, and everybody loved it."
She said that, although the logical choice would have surrounded the millennium, the committee decided against using it as a theme.
Jason Neusel, one of Sigma Nu's Rock Chalk Revue directors, said he thought the theme was a good one. Sigma Nu fraternity is paired with Alpha Delta Pi sorority, and he said the two chapters would meet after the theme announcement to discuss ideas for their show.
"It's highly workable, and I'm terribly excited," said Neusel, St. Louis junior. "We want to meet with both houses and get some good ideas from their brainstorming."
The 12 pairs of fraternities and sororites will base their 20-25 minute mini-musicals on the "Out of Focus theme. The 51st-annual revue will be presented March 9-11, 2000 at the Lied Center.

High overhead, the tree canopy at the Baker Wetlands shimmers with the ornate black and orange of monarch wings as they make their yearly migration to Mexico.
Orley "Chip" Taylor, professor of entomology, said that this fall's first monarch migration began Sept. 9 but that the highest concentration of monarchs was yet to come, although they might bypass the Lawrence area.
Monarchs employ northwest- westsly winds during the day to travel to Mexico. At night, they nest in trees.
"They may go right overhead, and we won't see the largest concentration because they can easily fly at five thousand feet." Taylor said.
Taylor created Monarch W a t c h www.monarchwatch.org, two years ago to spread conservation information about monarchs and to distribute educational materials.
Dana Wilfong, Monarch Watch program assistant, said that the organization sent tagging kits and rearing kits out to schools. The rearing kits allow students to watch the process of monarchs from caterpillar to butterfly.
Tagging butterflies, which allows the tracking of the monarch, involves placing a round sticker on the monarch's wing. Each sticker has an individual number and the University's address.
She said that last year one in every 200 tagged monarchs was found in Mexico, which confirms that monarchs traveling through Lawrence make it to Mexico.
"Tagging is really easy, so even small kids can do it," Wilfong said.
Taylor said that the best chance to see the butterflies was in the next couple of days at the Baker Wetlands, southeast of 31st and Louisiana streets. Migration will run through the beginning of October.
Taylor said that monarchs travel more than 2,500 miles yearly from as far north as Toronto to wintering sites in the Sierra Madre Mountains,
about 100 miles west of Mexico City. More than 70 million monarchs wintered in the mountains last year. He said there were 10 well-known wintering sites on five or six mountain tops. The mountaintops are covered with fir trees that provide a nice canopy and a safe place for the monarchs to spend the winter.
"One of the reason I founded the organization was to raise awareness of conservation of the fir trees because of logging conducted by some of the local people," Taylor said. "I want to make them feel that it is necessary to maintain the forests instead of cutting them down."
David Gibo, a professor at the University of Toronto who is in town collaborating on research with Taylor, said that the migration pattern of the monarch was complex.
"It looks like there is no plan at all." Gibo said. "We can tell that they are doing something complicated, but it's an insect so it has to be simple. We are trying to find a simple answer to a complicated problem."
Ken Highfill, Lawrence High School teacher, has been involved with Monarch Watch since its conception and has students involved in the tagging.
"Students get acquainted with a naturally occurring event that they might not normally get a chance to be part of." Highfill said.
Gibo said that Monarch Watch was filling an important niche in the research of the monarch.
"It is terrific." Gibo said.
"It is terrific. Gina"
It has gotten a huge number of people interested, and it has given a number of kids hands-on field experience. It has increased our understanding of the monarch."
Students from more than 2,000 schools throughout the nation are participating in tagging the monarchs.
"We are learning a lot of different things through the tagging," Taylor said. "Last year for the first time, we were able to estimate the total population of monarchs east of the Rocky Mountains and the mortality rate as a function of overall distance."

Sidewalk scribbling expresses many views
Messages call names present philosophies
By Nathan Willis writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
If you believe the writing on the University of Kansas sidewalks, The University Daily Kansan should be banned, 105.9 The Lazer needs to change its format, and the University has a slut or two.
When the chalk dust settled after a day-long sidewalk chalk giveaway by the American Civil Liberties Union on Wednesday at Wescoe Beach, the sidewalks revealed writings that ranged from philosophical to silly to slanderous.
"There were all kinds of things written," said J.D. Jenkins, Shawnee junior
and ACLU advocacy chairman.
some of those things were personal attacks. Others used vulgar language.
A chalk writing near Stauffer-Flint Hall called somebody a slut, and another one at Wescoe Beach gave out a student's phone number.
And, ironically, many of the writings targeted the ACLU and its recent attack on the University seal, which the ACLU claims has religious connotations.
"That's obviously somebody's opinion," Norton said. "If somebody gets pissed off and puts that someone is a slut, I think it's wrong. I think it's immoral. But they should have the right to do it."
David Norton, a Lapin junior who was sitting at Wescoe Beach yesterday afternoon, said the offensive writings were in poor taste but should be allowed.
ACLU took a similar stance.
ACLU president Kevin Sivits said the
Some writing around Wescoe Beach attacked Provost David Shulenburger for saying he would be in favor of restrictions on commercial sidewalk writing, Sivits said. But he said he hoped the attacks on Shulenburger would not change Shulenburger's opinion on continuing to allow sidewalk writing by students for noncommercial purposes.
"I don't encourage that type of thing," Sivits said. "But we wouldn't control such things. We weren't going to stop anybody from writing anything. I would hope that it would be a non-issue in that some people may get their feelings hurt, but the defense of people saying what they want is more important."
Shulenburger was out of town Wednesday and yesterday, and no one else in the provost's office was willing to comment on the issue. Shulenburger
On the whole, Jenkins said, the day was a success. Potentially offensive or slanderous writings were by far in the minority of the chalk writings and drawings. Of the roughly 300 people the ACLU passed out chalk to, most used it wisely, he said.
previously had said any changes in the sidewalk policy would come from University Governance, not from him.
Indeed, some students said they appreciated the writings and the ACLU's efforts to bring attention to the issue.
“It's cool,” said Meghan Bainum, Topeka sophomore. “It's a part of KU, and it's a part of student expression.”
However, she said she agreed with Shulenburger that commercial chalking should be banned. And, she said, if students start making personal attacks, the administration has a right to put restrictions on writing.

Federal aid for students could shrink
By Amanda Kaschube writer@kanson.com Kansan staff writer
The level of government financial aid received by students may decrease if an appropriations bill does not pass through Congress by Oct. 1.
Laura Wilcox, assistant director of public affairs of the American Council on Education, said cuts on financial aid could be as dramatic as 18 percent.
"Congress is having a hard time passing all the programs on the bill," she said.
If the bill is passed, financial aid could be funded at last year's levels, but it could also be adjusted up or down.
"In 1997, we had caps because we had big deficits," she said. "Two years since then, we have had a big surplus, and we can't touch it unless Congress eliminates the caps. With the caps, we have to cut programs."
Financial aid — part of the Labor, Health and Human Service and Education bill — is lumped into one bill with 13 other appropriations for other governmental programs. Wilcox said budget caps were the culprit of the potential cuts.
The changes in financial aid would affect many KU students,including Rachel
Berardn, Overland Park freshman. Berardn said she was concerned about the cuts because without the money, she would be unable to attend school.
Diane Del Buono, director of the Office of Student Financial Aid, said she was alarmed at the possibility of substantial cuts.
"Our staff is very committed to helping students go to

college," she said. "Fifty-seven percent of students rely on some financial aid at the University. That's a huge chunk."
Wilcox said she was unsure if lawmakers would eliminate the budget caps, but she said the only way to increase financial aid would be to cut out other programs and take their money.
Wilcox said the Student Aid Alliance, a coalition of organizations representing colleges, has helped increase awareness for the potential aid problems.
we are urging students, parents and college officials to contact Congress and let them know how important financial aid is," she said. "They need to know how powerful grassroots efforts can be."
Bernard said she would write a letter to her congressman if the future of financial aid looked dismal.
Andy Sandate, Newton junior, receives a Perkins Loan from the government and said he, too, would contact Congress on the subject.
"I get half of my money from financial aid," he said. "The cut would hurt me a lot." Wilcox said that in 1995, rallies and letter writing campaigns helped convince Congress of the importance of aid.
"In fact, not only did they not cut it, they increased it." she said.
For the Oct. 1 vote on the appropriations bill concerning financial aid, Wilcox said Congress had three options if it did not lift budget caps:
Appropriators would cut severely programs by the amount they are lacking
- Appropriators would find savings and/or offsets elsewhere in the federal budget and add these funds to the budget allocations
- Congress would issue a continuing resolution that would stabilize current levels of aid for a stated amount of time until voting progresses.

University should stand behind its historical seal
Special meaning behind seal make it worth keeping
The ACLU has picked the wrong issue to challenge. The University of Kansas seal does not violate the separation between church and state. This appears to be an invented issue and not a serious constitutional violation. In spite of the insignificance of the KU seal's religious content, we must not throw out a meaningful element of history. The effort used to deal with this issue, on all sides, would be better spent elsewhere.
The ACLU is not coming to the aid of students. No one has stood up against the seal, or argued that it has affected them or their religious faith. It seems that the ACLU has decided to pick a fight for the purposes of picking a fight, not to correct some iniquity. No harmful effects from the seal's content are apparent. Students are not asked to rise in the morning and recite the seal's inscription as if in some bizarre religious ceremony. Nor can anyone — outside of the classics department, perhaps — be called on to recite the Latin inscription, even on pain of torture. A modest reference such as this does not coerce people towards a religion.
This action appears more politically symbolic than socially just. In the wake of the State Board of Education's decision to remove mandatory evolution from high school curriculum, conservative tendencies seem to run high. When the ACLU, out of the blue, decides to question the appropriateness of an antique symbol, the motivations seem a bit gray.
But the KU seal has never intruded into the classroom. It stays perched outside of Budig Hall, it rests quietly in the corner of your timetable, possibly on your notebook. Despite the religious flavor of the seal, it does not interfere in the educational process at the University and that is a reasonable enough test for these kinds of church vs. state conflicts. Fewer students probably have sought out the actual Latin translation, than the ones who simply wanted to know why the guy on the seal doesn't just
Certainly if the seal were inappropriate, then we have been saddled with it for 133 years. If they are right, that means last year the seal was just as inappropriate as this year, and the year before, yet the ACLU did not take the issue to task. Possibly, no one's ire was up about religious intrusions into public education.
stomp the fire out.
Even in public settings, if an expression with religious overtones does not impose its religious dogma onto a student, there is no harm. The student still is free to learn and worship however that student sees fit. The parking department or the library fines office pose a greater hindrance to the progress of a student than the University seal.
Investigations such as the ACLU's a harmful themselves for a number of reasons. Most importantly they drain credibility and resources from the ACLU. In the politically correct climate of today, organizations like the ACLU must judiciously consider which challenges to pursue. The purely symbolic actions numb the public and make the true task of liberal organizations that much harder. People think of political correctness as buzzwords for liberal intolerance for the same reasons challenging the KU seal is a bad idea — because it accomplishes nothing substantial, but its costs are high.

ness of a university symbol, our concern itself proves we are in the right mind set for protecting the rights of all and maintaining a fair balance between church and state. But are we going to consign our 133-year-old seal to the dustbins of history because, all of the sudden, we got tired of minuscule religious imagery? If we are willing to make that choice now, there are several consequences we will have to live with. Not least of all is the precedent that, even
the most inoffensive information can be stricken out of a public forum if it has even a low threshold for bothering people. If the ACLU persists in its investigation, we may have to find an alternative seal. Perhaps we should go with the scull and cross-bones and an inscription that reads: Watch out, punk! Because the ACLU shoul d protest indi
viduals when their rights are trampled upon, it cannot squander its resources when no clear conflict exists. Our interests are best served when groups such as the ACLU help maintain the balance between church and state. This is not one of those cases.

B breathless, I arrive atop the Hill each day. The view from Mount Oread is beautiful and all, but I don't mean the "wow, what a view" kind of breathless. I mean the short-of-breath, temporarily-oxygen-deficient kind of breathless.
Thinking positively, I remind myself how great the exercise of walking the Hill will be for me. I secretly hope that one day in the near future I will arrive on Jayhawk Boulevard after walking from the Robinson Center or Memorial Stadium parking lots and realize that I have not even been phased by the steep trek.
It never happens. I'm still breathless.
For a long time, I decided I must be the most
out-of-shape person at the University of Kansas.
I asked around to see if the Hill had this same demoralizing affect on any of my fellow Jayhawks. I was relieved to find out I'm not the only one. Many friends and acquaintances confirmed that they too struggle to carry on a conversation, for lack of oxygen as they move further up the Hill.

story there — panting was not uncommon.
This phenomena has reminded me that life, even college life, is a lot like that daily walk up the Hill. It never really gets any easier, and we're probably the better for it.
Classes begin anew each semester, with a whole new set of goals and objectives different than the semester before. We always are building on the base of knowledge we've obtained, ever-expanding our minds. This isn't always easy. There's reading involved. There's research and writing involved. There's thinking involved.
Budgets are something else that demand constant attention. They must constantly be balanced and adjusted. When I reconcile my checkbook at the end of the month, the cycle begins all over again. When I get a paycheck, I better keep working or another one won't come. If I want to have a secure financial future, I
must suffer a little deprivation now in the interest of saving for tomorrow.
Then there are interpersonal relationships. Talk about work. Just when you think you've reached a comfortable place, something happens to disturb the peace. Problems must be solved, compromises reached and guidelines set. Relationships are dynamic because people are as well.
But the rewards that can come from our difficulties can be so rich. The discomfort, the difficulty, the breathless moments — they strengthen and improve the person.
After striving for years at the University, we come out of here different than we came in. We become more educated, more exposed to different subjects, more prepared to face the future. Even if you discover that your academic field of study does not match your future interest, that was an important discovery in itself. By graduating, you prove your mental ability, intellectual stamina and sheer determination.
Financial benefits also can be enjoyed if you put a little effort into your budget. Through financial responsibility, you develop a positive credit history. You learn to stretch a dollar. And you may even figure out how to make your money work for you. We've all probably heard that money can't buy happiness, but there's no denying that financial responsibility can make things a lot easier.
And what would life be without our relationships? Family, friends and others add flavor and meaning to life. Our relationships bring support, joy, excitement and love. They're tough at times, but loneliness is not an appealing alternative. Put a little effort into relationships and it's amazing what comes out of them.
Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher once said, "Life is a constant business." Thatcher's life exemplifies her statement. Politics aside, her rise to the position of world leader speaks volumes to that work ethic. Those willing to attend to that "constant business" can achieve remarkable results.
So, do I get a little breathless climbing the Hill? Sure. Would I rather sit at the bottom looking up? No way.
I want to get to the top.

Feedback
I would like to present my side of the plagiarism story that recently appeared in the Kansan.
First of all I would like to sincerely apologize for anything I did that may have caused, pain, reproach, or anything that is obviously associated with this type of occurrence. My intentions were not hostile, nor were they with forethought. I fully regret my plagiarism and have nothing to say that can take back anything done.
Athlete apologizes for plagiarism mistake
I am not a creative writer and nor do I ever want to be. The only things that I write are obscure poems to past girlfriends and small essays about how I feel. My writing expertise is contemptible and infinitely small. For those who do not have this problem that are hurt by me, I feel as though I have mugged you of your decency and immaculacy.
But I am here now trying to get a life for myself. I am in this place and this time trying to live to die happily. I regret my mistakes, and I'm still learning from them and life. I have a long length of time ahead of me to find my right way to live. All I can do now is learn and incorporate that knowledge into my daily life.
I made a mistake and life goes on. There are greater tragedies and bigger things to worry about. This ordeal has affected me mentally and physically on a vast scale. I would like to think that I could get passed this without major fatigue and agony, but I don't think I can get myself passed this.

Robinson hours don't compete with other schools' rec centers'
I have let my mother down in so many ways. I have let my friends down in so many ways. I have let myself down in so many ways. I have hurt others, and I have hurt myself, as I'm sure all of you have. I can't take back my mistakes nor can you.
I'm sorry.
The other morning I had to go to the Visitor's Center. I didn't have a class for three hours, so I thought I would finally stop and see Robinson while I was close by. Afterall, a bike is my transportation, and the miles (or more exactly, hills) have to count. So I put on shoes, grabbed my ID, and got to Robinson around 10 a.m. But when I walked in, the building was empty. Not only that, but the weight room was dark and locked.
For some reason the fact that I couldn't get into the weight room struck me wrong. Maybe it was because I had finally decided to exercise, only to be locked out. Maybe it was because I no doubt paid a fee to access a Rec center that I...well..couldn't access. Mostly, though, I was annoyed because of Robinson's ridiculous hours.
Here they are: On Monday through Thursday the weight room is open between 6 and 7 a.m. Yep, that's one hour, and if you have a 7:30 class, too bad. You'll have to go back between 6:30 and 10:30 p.m. Friday is the best weekday. You can use the weight
I was amnoyed by the hours enough to find out how other rec facilities operate. I went to Internet sites for the Universities of Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Missouri, K-State, and Iowa State. Their Rec centers al' varied, but on weekdays not one opened later than 6:30 a.m., and not one closed before 10:30 p.m.

room for an entire two hours between 6 and 8 a.m., and again between 12:30 and 10:30 p.m. I'm guessing Saturday is catch-up day, because the weight room is open from 8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., and on Sunday you can work out between 1 and 10:30 p.m.
College is designed in a manner that leaves students with free time throughout the day. I would have liked to use my time getting in better shape. Instead, I baked back up the hill, went to my room, sat down, and ate a muffin.
There is no reason that the weight room at Robinson should be locked up more than any other building on campus. Bodies exist to staff the facility, and bodies exist to use it, yet Robinson stands empty for most of the day.
When I first heard the Fred Flinstone whistle, my impression of KU changed from "University: Place of higher learning" to "Factory: Degrees manufactured here." If students really need a signal for class periods, why not use the pleasant bells of the Campanile? Carillons and chimes are used at other universities for the same purpose, and I doubt that any hearts stopped or knees buckled when they sounded. I am sure the Lawrence community would also appreciate the change.
For the safety of the Facilities Operations staff who have had nearaccidents, for the peace of our community, and for the sanity of the rest of us, I ask the chancellor, staff and students to give "Too-toot" the boot.
stephanie Schaffner Library program assistant
As for its original purpose of ending lectures, the whistle ironically can't do its job. It is inaudible in most of the classrooms on campus and those students with watches or internal clocks always signal their peers by wriggling in their seats.
Give Tooty-toot boot off campus
I was surprised by John Auduleh's article "All choked up" because I never heard anyone say a positive word about the horrible, heart-stopping whistle some affectionately call "tooty-Toot." It is an annoyance and an embarrassment.
Free speech or graffitti?
With all due respect to the usually worthy causes of the ACLU, the chalking of sidewalks on compus is *not an exercise of free speech ... it's graffiti*.

our editorial cartoon implied that you have a plentiful supply of anti-Parking cartoons. Please, spare us. You've more than made your point that there isn't enough parking at KU, and students don't get preferential treatment over staff. Let's move on to covering something that's news.
Parking problems no longer newsworthy
Important facts have been omitted from the Blake Hall parking debate. The survey that discovered about a dozen empty places a day was done prior to the construction project currently underway on Twente Hall. About one-third of the lot is being used by construction workers and their vehicles. In other words, the dozen empty spaces are currently being occupied.
Another fact you have omitted is that blue zone stickers are a University seniority benefit, available to workers whose age and years of service exceed 60. It is a reward for service, and an acknowledgement that while the hill is hard on everyone, it tends to become harder to climb the closer you get to retirement. The faculty and staff who purchased blue zone permits did so after earning the privilege.
Jayhawks speak out!!! Please, we at Kansas State may not be your biggest friends in the world, but our cries of pain from so many miles away are not being heard by the management at 105.9 The Lazer. Lovers of true music here in Manhattan, as in Lawrence have been betrayed by the last radio station that was worth listening to in Kansas, as Rolling Stone so eloquently put it a year ago, the Lazer was one of the last stations in the United States that didn't suck. Now it has joined the masses of stations that bombard our ears with the drivel of boy bands and teenage girls whining about life issues they can't possibly understand. Please, friends, Jayhawks, Kansans, do not let this tragedy occur.
Jocelyn Martin Lawrence graduate student
The parking department showed a commendable willingness to work with students. When it was reported that there were a dozen empty spaces, it changed the rules to allow students to buy parking spaces that the majority of staff in adjacent buildings were not eligible to buy. Only after it was reported to them that there were not a dozen empty spaces, and the original permit holders could not find parking places, did they rescind the decision.

Gays confronted for showing love
Continued from page 1A
Rowland added that many couples he knew had no reason to be together on campus because only one partner was a student, and the had graduated and was working. He said that because of homophobia, safety was an additional concern for homosexual couples.
Snodgrass agreed.
"I wouldn't say there are certain places that are safe or unsafe. There are situations that are unsafe that can occur anywhere in Lawrence," he said, adding that he might monitor his behavior if he was in an area devoid of people.
Lisa Braun, Deerfield senior, who has been with her girlfriend for 10 months, said holding hands going into Wal-Mart was a completely different the atmosphere from doing the same while walking down Massachusetts Street. But, she said, she would feel comfortable holding her girlfriend's hand any place she would feel comfortable walking alone because she did not think most people in Lawrence thought it was an issue.
Braun said she remembered
three times in the past year that people made comments to her face. Braun said that despite her clearly feminine figure she was often called "sir" because she is taller than her girlfriend.
"I'really think that they think I'm a guy," she said. "People just assume you're a boy and a girl until you make it absolutely clear that you're not — I think people are programmed to think that wav."
Braun said she thought two men might be confronted more simply because it would be harder to mistake them for a man and a woman.
After eight months, Snodgrass said he and his boyfriend had been yelled at, often on Friday and Saturday nights. One time, he said, they were at an intersection when a car full of people pulled over to yell at them.

"I was sort of afraid that they would get out, but it was a busy intersection, and there were a lot of people around," he said. "I was sort of afraid they'd get out. Ryan was a little shook up, but I was laughing through it because it was so stupid that these guys were so

Snodgrass said he didn't think of himself as part of a gay couple when he went out.
"I'm not one of those people who feel I have some sort of role to fulfill
as being gay," he said. "I am who I am, and my relationship with Ryan isn't about shocking people. It's about my love for Ryen. I'm determined not to let other people's fear keep me from living a normal life and doing what I want to do."

Homosexuals welcome as youth mentors
Local chapter less restrictive with policies
By Corey Peck Special to the Kansan
One of Lawrence's local volunteer organizations continues to welcome gay volunteers, despite a recent controversy about gay student help in Wichita.
Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Douglas County takes student volunteers from all walks of life, including gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered students, organization leaders said.
"We would be glad to accept any help from anyone who'd be willing to help us," said Becky Price, executive director for Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Douglas County, 733 Massachusetts St.
In fact, the organization now has homosexual volunteers working with children, although Price would not disclose their names.
The Sedgwick County chapter of Big Brothers/Big Sisters has been
more restrictive than its Douglas County counterpart.
At the start of the semester, all of the student organizations at Wichita State University were sent a mailing encouraging them to volunteer for Big Brothers/Big Sisters, including Ten Percent, WSU's homosexual organization.
The Sedgwick County chapter later said that the letter was sent to Ten Percent by mistake and that it had a policy of banning homosexuals from volunteering written into its bylaws.
it's not in the best interest to put them [the children] in the midst of any potential controversy as a result of their Big Brothers/Big Sisters-sponsored relationship," said Casey Ritchie, public relations coordinator for the Sedwick County chapter.
Price said she was not sure why the Sedgwick County chapter excluded homosexuals from being volunteers, when the majority of Big Brother/Big Sister chapters allowed homosexuals to participate in their programs.
Ritchie emphasized that the Sedgwick County chapter's policy excluded homosexual volunteers
because of people's feelings within in the community.
"[The policy is] the result of a deep-seated emotional response to homosexuality that remains a strong element in our community." Ritchie said.
Matthew Skinta, Andover junior and KU Queers & Allies president, said the Sedgwick County chapter's policy was disturbing.
"A lot of homophobia is a result of ignorance, and a child with a positive gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered role model is going to remember the impact that person had on their life," he said.
Students and organizations interested in volunteering with Big Brothers/Big Sisters have a variety of programs in which they can participate, with varying time and work commitments. Those who decide to work with a child one-on-one, or as a couple, have to go through a screening process before they can volunteer.
The screening process takes four to six weeks and includes a psychological test, background checks, references and interviews
Price said that the screening
process had been very effective in screening out prospective volunteers who could be potentially harming to a child.
Even though homosexuals can and do volunteer, parents are told up front who the volunteers are, and parents have the final say as to who mentors their child, whether the person is homosexual, male, female or even a smoker, she said.
Skinta said he was unsure if Queers & Allies had been involved with Big Brothers/Big Sisters in the past, but that he encouraged homosexuals in the community to volunteer in organizations.
"When a child is exposed to a visibly queer person, it helps them build a positive image based on fact that can withstand the stereotypes they'll encounter in adolescence and adulthood." Skinta said.
The Big Brothers/Big Sisters program of Douglas County works with many student organizations, including the Center for Community Outreach and various fraternities and sororites.

Committee members can co-sponsor legislation
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
By Chris Borniger
A dramatic change in the way legislation is introduced to Student Senate could begin soon.
A bill that will go before the University Affairs and Student Rights committees next Wednesday would allow non-senator committee members to co-sponsor legislation under the guidance of a senator. Current senate rules and regulations restrict sponsorship to senators.
Dede Seibel, student body vice president, said the bill was part of an effort to make Senate more available to students.
"I think there's a vast amount of students that want to be involved, but don't know the channels through which to do that," she said.
Seibel said she wanted to build a
program in which senators would be mentors for non-senator committee members, who would learn how to draft bills and would be allowed to defend them before Senate.
"It's more than just answering
phones," she said. "It's about getting the full experience of St ud en t Senate and making use of their skills as

it with about 10.
persons and developing leaders. Seibel, who was chairwoman of the finance committee last year, said she hoped increasing student involvement in Senate would increase committee member retention. Last year, she said, the finance committee began the year with about 40 members and ended
persons and developing leaders."
As of Sept. 3, about 250 students comprised the five standing Senate committees, almost 80 of whom are senators. That number is substantially larger than last year's total committee membership, said Eric Rush, committee board chairman.
"I think we've made some real strides, but we could always be better," he said. "As much as we try to represent the student body ourselves, it's good to have a lot of other voices on the committees."
Marlon Marshall, Student Executive Committee chairman, said keeping students on committees helped senators better represent their constituencies.
"Just being involved in committees and knowing how students vote lets us know how they feel," he said.
Rush said committees as a whole
Barb Williams, Wichita senior is a first-year member of the multicultural affairs committee. She said she felt that non-traditional students such as herself did not have enough representation on campus.
"I saw a lot more people that don't come from traditional student groups," he said. "But we aren't at the level we should be."
still needed to represent a broader scope of students at the University of Kansas, but that committee diversity had improved.
She said her experience at the first meeting was positive, and that she planned to remain on the committee.
"I feel like we're overlooked in general." Williams said.
"I thought it was really constructive," Williams said. "Everyone seemed to have a lot of good ideas."

Local habitat group to mark 10th year with celebration
By Lori O'Otole
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Lawrence Habitat for Humanity is having its 10th anniversary party Sunday afternoon, and everyone is invited.
The organization builds homes for Lawrence families, selecting the recipients based on financial need. The homes are sold to the families through an interest-free mortgage.
The public festival, which will celebrate the 33 houses that the organization has built in Lawrence, will include ice cream and music by John Weatherwax and the Junk Yard Jazz Band.
"So many people in this community support us by volunteering or giving money," said Linda Klinker, Habitat for Humanity program director.
She said she was expecting about 300 people to attend.
At 1:30 p.m. at Cornerstone Southern Baptist Church, 802 W. 22nd Terrace, there will be a dedication ceremony for Habitat for Humanity's 33rd home, which will be purchased by Lawrence residents Doug and Kathy Buckley. They have a 13-year-old son, Cody.
The two-bedroom home, which Klinker said would be completed next month, was the first split-level home built by the organization. It will be about 1,000 to 1,200 square feet.
"We're really thankful and grateful." said Doug Buckley, who has been living
with his family in a 12- by 60-foot trailer house in north Lawrence. "It will certainly be nice to be in a house again. It will seem huge."
After the dedication ceremony, there will be an ice cream social from 2:30 to 4 p.m. at 1626 Lindenwood Lane.
Three of the houses, including the Buckley's, will be open for showing during the afternoon. They are within walking distance from each other.
The funds for Sunday's event were gathered and donated by 12 area churches that partner with the organization
Klinker said each home was in a different phase of construction, which would give people a better idea of the building process.
Since the organization built its first house in 1989, its homes have sheltered 46 adults and 83 children.
The next Habitat for Humanity house will be construction by members of the University of Kansas greek community for Lawrence resident Effie Presswood and her two daughters, 15-year-old Jennifer and 7-year-old Kiera. Construction is set to begin Oct. 15.
Klinker said Sunday's celebration would focus more on the homes that had been completed rather than the ones to come.
"There have been so many people who've helped us," she said. "We'd like to say thank you and have a celebration all rolled into one."

Greeks to raise roof, funds
Weekend garage sale to gather more money
Kansan staff writer
All 36 chapters will have members working on the project — the House that Greeks Built — from 8:30 a.m. to sunset Oct.15 to Oct.31.
It usually takes four months to build a house for Lawrence Habitat for Humanity. Next month, the University of Kansas greek community will build one in two weeks.

Although they have yet to don their tool belts and hardhats, members of the greek system have been raising the funds for the house since October.
Their fund-raising efforts will continue this weekend at a public garage sale at Centennial Elementary School, 2145 Louisiana St. Members will man the sale from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. tomorrow and from 8:30 a.m. to noon on Sunday.
Kyleen Hamill, appointed officer for the House that Greeks Built, said students donated garage sale items last semester when they moved out of chapter houses.
Greek members also collected items during the summer.
"We have so much stuff," she said. "It ranges from computer modems to dining room tables to carpets."
Since fund-raising began last year, greek members have raised about $22,000.
Hamill, Prairie Village junior, said that the greeks originally needed to raise $40,000 for the project but that they would have enough money because about 20 area businesses would be donating their building supplies.
Linda Klinker, Habitat for Humanity program director, said Lawrence resident Effie Presswood would purchase the house they built. Presswood has two daughters, 15-year-old Jennifer and 7-year-old Kiera.
She said Habitat for Humanity had been impressed with the work that greek members had done on the project.
"Effie is tickled to death about her new home," Klinker said.

Edwards expansion plan approved
Regents consult student leaders discuss funding
By Clay McCuistion writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The Board of Regents approved preliminary plans yesterday for the University of Kansas to expand its Edwards campus in Kansas City.
"Before the University can go forward, you've got to get the Board of Regent's

approval," said Tom Hutton, director of University Relations. "It's the earliest of steps."
Hutton said the Kansas City, Kan., branch of the University had planned on expansion for some time.
"I think they were thinking in broader terms from the get-go," Hutton said. "It's been coming for the last three or four years."
Korb Maxwell, KU student body president, was in Pittsburgh as part of the Students' Advisory Committee and reported to the Regents yesterday.
The committee is made up of student body presidents from the six universities controlled by the Regents: the University of Kansas, Kansas State University, Emporia State University, Wichita State University, Pittsburg State University and Fort Hays State University.

The committee set four

Being involved in the Regents' discussions about residency requirements.
The nondiscrimination policy was in response to Emporia State University's decision during the 1998-99 school year to remove sexual orientation form a list of protected classifications at the university.
The Students' Advisory Committee was enthusiastic about the idea.
"I was nervous because we have a lot of very conservative schools," Maxwell said. "I'm just tickled to death on the whole thing."
"Those are important parts of this agenda," Wilcox said.
Because the University of Kansas already includes sexual orientation as a protected classification, the policy wouldn't affect the University.
The Regents also decided to change the Community College Funding formula and heard reports from the council of university presidents and a committee of faculty senate presidents.
Kim Wilcox, executive director of the Regents, said the input from committees such as Maxwell's was valuable.
"The rest was real routine business," Maxwell said. "It was a getting started meeting."
Heritage Month unites Hispanics

Hispanic dancers and musicians will showcase their culture in front of the Kansas Union as a tribute to their heritage today.
These performances, which are from noon to 1 p.m. Fridays, and a lecture by Sandra Guzman, editor in chief of Latina Magazine on Oct. 1 are only a few of the highlights of Hispanic Heritage Month.
SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
Hispanic Heritage Month began Wednesday and will continue until Oct.15.
"We want to promote the Hispanic culture," said Iranad Orduña, president of Hispanic American Leadership Organization. "This gives it a month to shine."
"Varias Culturas Unidas por Una Voz Different Cultures United by One Voice"
He said the events would give students who otherwise wouldn't know about Hispanic culture a chance to see different aspects of the Hispanic community.
"I learned a little more about my own culture," he said.
"Suvamente," on KJHK at 11 p.m. every Tuesday
Latin entertainment, noon today in front of the Kansas Union
Sofia Galarza Liu, vice-president of the organization, helped plan Heritage Month events. She said she had included events students were interested in, as well as standard events such as panels and a keynote speaker. She said Spencer Museum of Art and the Center of Latin American Studies had sponsored additional events in conjunction with Heritage Month.

HISPANIC HERITAGE Month
Orduña said the primary purpose of Heritage Month was to add to the diversity of the University. The theme is "Varias Culturas Unidas por Una Voz: Different Cultures United by One Voice."
But Erica Andrade, Kansas City, Kan., senior in Latin American Studies, said it also made Hispanic students more comfortable at the University of Kansas.
"I think that around campus it's
hard to see Latino faces, because there aren't very many," she said.
She said the month-long celebration would give Hispanic students who weren't part of Hispanic American Leadership Organization the chance to know that there were more members of the minority on campus than one would think.
Ordúna, Pomona, Calif., junior, said he moved from a city where the majority of the people are Hispanic to Lawrence, where they are a minority.
"Having a group like HALO made it easier," he said. "It eased the transition."

Ensemble to present mix of jazz, bluegrass, classical
Show marks Lied Center's season opening
By Emily Hughey writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The Lied Center will kick off its new season tonight.
Joshua Bell, Sam Bush, Mike Marshall and Edgar Meyer will open for the New Directions series at the center with a different kind of music than what people may be used to.
The show will start at 8 tonight and fuse bluegrass, jazz and classical music via violins, mandolins, guitar and bass. It will begin not only the center's season, but also the four musicians' national tour.
Jacqueline Davis, executive director of the center, said the
show would be one students would love.
"I am very excited, and I think if I were to choose one of the hottest shows for students this year, this would be it," she said.
The group will be performing songs from their CD, Short Trip Home, released by Sony Classical Records on Sept. 7. The musicians have styles ranging from bluegrass to jazz and have played with artists including Garth Brooks, the Indigo Girls, James Taylor, Bela Fleck and the Chieftains.
Bell, a violinist, was the artistic advisor and soloist for the movie, The Red Violin, now playing at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St.
Davis said many of her friends went to see Meyer, the bassist, at his shows in New York City. They said musicians comprised about half of the audiences at the shows, she said.
Neb., junior, said she was going to the show because it offered a different kind of entertainment for her weekend.
Camille Payne, Kearney.
"I enjoy music and it looks like it's going to be something different than the average concert," she said. "It'll be refreshing. It also gives you an opportunity to dress up and have a sophisticated night on the town."
The center's season will follow with a millennium theme. Some of the themes are Cultural Countdown: Looking toward the Millennium and African influences on American Art.
Tickets for tonight's show are $27 and $22 for the public and $13.50 and $11 for students.
Upcoming shows include "The Whiteheaded Boy" Sept. 25-27 and the "Moscow State Radio Symphony Orchestra and Chorus" on Oct.1.

KU students helped in Ang Lee's drama, Ride With the Devil
By Derek Prater
wriser@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
New film portrays border wars
The Kansas-Missouri border wars are on once again — on film, that is.
Director Ang Lee's Civil War drama, Ride With the Devil, is set along the Kansas-Missouri border during the battles that raged there during the Civil War era. It includes William Quantrill's infamous raid of Lawrence.
The movie made its debut last Thursday at the Festival of Deauville for American Cinema in France. It followed with its North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival last Friday.

PATTERS LAND WARRANTS

Ride With the Devil stars Jeffrey Wright, Jewel, Skeet Ulrich and Tobey Maguire.
A premiere is planned for Nov. 11 in Kansas City at a location to be announced, Watkins said.
Watkins and Vicky Henley, manager of the Kansas Film Commission, were on hand for both premiers, and both said that the film was an unqualified success.
The national premiere is scheduled for Nov. 24 in New York City and Los Angeles.
"It's a very emotional movie about relationships between people during a very volatile time in our history," said Patti Watkins, director of the Kansas City Film Commission.
Henley said that the film was shot primarily in Kansas and Missouri.
Lawrence residents and University of Kansas students worked on the project from March to July 1998 while it was being shot in Kansas and Missouri.

"We had quite a few students from the theatre and film department involved in the film." Wright said.
Henley said that the two film commissions worked a year and a half to convince the producers to bring the project to the area.
In November 1996, the film producers requested an exhaustive list of information about the states that included rural locations, rivers, reenactors, historical documents and availability of horses. Henley said.
She said that she sent a huge package containing 18 picture portfolios, books and numerous brochures to the producers.
Watkins said that Lee was very particular when it came to locations.
"He's incredible," she said.
Watkins said that the scenes depicting the raid on Lawrence were shot in Pattonsburg, Mo., which is about one hour north of Kansas City, Mo.
Henley said that Ang Lee, whose other films include Sense and Sensibility, Eat Drink Man Woman and The Ice Storm, was very popular in France.
"He doesn't give up looking for the perfect location."
She said that Lee received a standing ovation in France and that the press conference in Toronto was packed.
Henley said that people from the area should look forward to seeing the film.
"I think people in Kansas and Missouri will be proud of it," she said.

Sex took Lawrence, University by storm during turbulent 1960s
By Clare McLellan
Kansan Book Critic
Sex. drugs and rock'n' roll.
Is that all the sexual revolution was about?
I will not answer if you are asking about the image content. The provided image is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text or graphics. If you have a clearer image, please provide it.
In Beth Bailey's new, non-fiction book Sex in the Heartland she explores the events that set the stage and surrounded the revolution of the '60s by focusing on a small university town in Kansas — Lawrence.
Bailey is an associate professor of American Studies at the University of New Mexico and the author of several books. For Sex in the Heartland she chose to look beneath the surface of the sexual revolution and found much more than radical protesters on the coasts.
While Lawrence may not be the capital of the revolution such as Haight-Ashbury or Greenwich Village, its people were as involved as memorable radicals such as Abbie Hoffman or Hugh Hefner.
The book is sluggish at times but provides the reader with a new look at the forces behind the revolution. It follows the steady progression of the revolution from the end of WWII through its legacy in today's society.
Much of the revolution stemmed from unrest in young people, women, gays and lesbians who wanted greater freedom and more respect. And these people fought to be heard across the country, even in the heartland.
The chapter titled "Sex and the Therapeutic Culture" chronicles the beginnings of these feelings of unrest. Female students fighting curfews, young men going on panty raids and homosexual students being viewed as "sick," all shared these feelings. Bailey shows certain events that sparked revolutionary ideas and were not directly related to sex or free expressions of sex. Students involved in the Lawrence Gay Liberation Front fought to be recognized by the University, enlisting the help of Chicago Sever lawyer, William Kunstler. Kunstler was dismissed for not having license to prac
tice in Kansas, but the case made it all the way to the Supreme Court. Women of all ages fought for free access to the birth-control pill as a symbol of women's liberation, not merely to engage in promiscuous sex. KU students fought against many in loco parentis rules imposed on them by the University to prove their independence, not merely so they could hop into bed whenever and wherever.

This view was somewhat new to me. Stepping back from the overwhelming images of the revolution such as bra burning, Woodstock and dope-smoking hippies, provided a greater insight into what the revolution was all about. Perhaps the most important theme was respect for all lifestyles, regardless of age, gender or sexual orientation.
Using Lawrence as an example of a typical revolutionary town in the '60s also was revealing. Having just moved to Lawrence, I found its history to be much richer than I thought.
This book also is full of KU history during the most tumultuous decade of the century. It was interesting to see how our predecessors handled those turbulent times.
However, the book reads too much like a textbook, especially for someone looking for extracurricular reading. It's full of great information but it is a challenge to get through.
Part of the problem is repetition. Repetition of ideas, events and even words. How many times can someone use the word "conflate" or some variant of it in one book?
Its textbook-like quality aside, *Sex in the Heartland* engages, bringing up many new theories behind the sexual revolution. The book does have a few graphic and explicit
parts and pictures of some intriguing flyers that circulated around the University in the 60s
And of course, it has tie ins with the inevitable sex, drugs and rock'n'roll.

Kevin Costner hits home run with sports romance fans with For Love of the Game
By Brendan Walsh
Kansan movie critic
Well played, well directed and just well done. For Love of the Game bridges the gap between movies designed for men action and sports and for women relationships and romance by providing both.
Kevin Costner plays Billy Chapel, a one-time star pitcher for the Detroit Tigers who, after 19 years in the majors, is struggling to stay competitive. His down-and-out Tigers are facing the contending New York Yankees in the last series of the season — games that are incredibly important to the Yankees, but won't have much effect on the Tigers either way.
The next morning, game day, Jane shows up to tell him that she's moving to London later that evening. She knows that Billy isn't the guy for her, and seemingly has no qualms about saying goodbye.
The night before Billy is to pitch, the owner of the team tells him that he's sold the team to a group of investors, and that Billy will be traded as soon as the new owners take charge. As if that wasn't bad enough, Billy gets stood up for a date with Jane Aubrey (Kelly Preston), his ex-girlfriend with whom he is trying to reunite.
It's with these heavy burdens that Billy walks onto the mound in Yankee Stadium. He gets three outs quickly, and then the real story begins. Between batters and innings, Billy's life history, and particularly his five-year history with Jane and her daughter, is told though a series of flashbacks. The vignettes paint a complicated picture of Billy, touching on the pressure to play baseball he experienced as a youth and his values regarding the importance of pride and integrity in baseball. The flashbacks with Jane are equally sweeping, following the couple from their first meeting and through their up-and-down relationship.
Kevin Costner (with Kelly Preston) bounces back from a career slump in For the Love of the Game. Contributed art.
All the while, Billy is pitching the best game of his life and director Sam Raimi is doing a great job showing it. One of his most creative tricks is showing the baseball game from multiple perspectives. Some shots make the audience feel like it's watching the game on TV by putting the baseball statistics right on the big screen, while others are designed to give the perspective of someone on the field. Raimi has made quite a name for himself recently. After writing and directing the creative, if unentaining, *Evil Dead trilogy*, he later directed the great *A Simple Plan*. Costner has perhaps never been better on the big screen. After the terrific *Bull Durham* and *Field of Dreams*, this is his third baseball movie. Perhaps it's a subject that really inspires Coster, or maybe the roles just suit him, but his performances in these movies overshadow his bad choices, such as the ill-conceived *Waterworld* or *The Postman*. Presston also is good, though she wears too much makeup for a 35-year-old mom.
Aside from a few sappy scenes, the annoying and way too prevalent play-by-play of Vin Scully and the rather distracting homoerotic element to Billy's relationship with his catcher, this is an excellent film. For Love of the Game is a genuinely emotional, not just melodramatic, crowd pleaser.

Shedding the underdog tag
Jayhawks look to beat Buffs again
By Mike Miller
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Try as he might, coach Terry Allen is trying to ignore the revenge factor in the Colorado game tomorrow, but it's too big.
"We haven't had a lot of revenge games at Kansas," he said. "Hopefully, we can have some more of them in the future."
Allen would prefer the game just be a confidence builder for the Jayhawks, but last year's 33-17 victory just keeps coming up. The Jayhawks were underdogs in that game, and they're underdogs again 2:30 p.m. tomorrow at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colo. (ABC, channels 9 and 49; 105.9 FM, 1320 AM). But don't tell that to the players.
"I feel that we can win this game," said cornerback Andrew Davison. "We want to make a point that this isn't just a basketball school. It's a football school."
Tomorrow's game will be the second game the Jayhawks have played on national television this year, with at
al one more to come. Games against p 25 teams such as Nebraska, Texas &M and Kansas State give Kansas arque match-ups.
"We know that if we play as good as we did last year, we can get to a bowl game," said wide receiver Harrison Hill.
Playing well means starting with the Colorado game. The Buffaloes had a 63-35 win against San Jose State last weekend, racking up 767 yards of total offense. Colorado quarterback Mike Moschetti had one of the best games of his career, passing for 465 yards. But that doesn't scare Kansas.
"If teams try to pass on us, we can beat any team in the Big 12," Davison said. "As a collective group, we have one of the best secondaries in the Big 12."
Kansas will counter Colorado's offense with a two-quarterback attack
offense with a two-quarterback attack. Zac Wegner will start against Colorado, but Allen wants to keep using back-up quarterback Dylan Smith early and often in the game.
"We want both of them to get their feet wet and we'll see what happens," he said.
A believer in the one quarterback system, Allen has endorsed using two quarterbacks this year because of health reasons.

well this year. Wegner has completed 55 percent of his passes and thrown for two touchdowns. Smith has been slightly better, completing 70 percent, but in nine fewer attempts and three touchdowns. Their play has been shared because Allen doesn't want one to take most of the game snaps.
"If we get positive play out of both of them, then I see no reason to change," Allen said.
But it will be more than just the play of the quarterbacks that propels the 17-point underdogs to a win tomorrow. It has to be a team effort.

While many players claim that a team is like family, identical twins Katie and Kelly Campbell, and Christi and Shelly Musser take that literally. The Jayhawks are the only softball team in the country with two sets of identical twins.
The Mussers joined the team last year as freshmen, giving their teammates a year to distinguish between them before the Campbells transferred to Kansas this year.
"I still can't tell the Campbell twins apart," said coach Tracy Bunge.
The two sets of twins make the most of their relationships by playing next to each other; the Mussers in left and center field, and the Campbells at pitcher and catcher.

"We have perfect chemistry," left healer Shelly Musser said. "We've played together
The Musssers grew up in an athletic family in Scottsdale, Ariz., with no other siblings.
"We did everything together," Shelly Musser said. "We played volleyball, basketball, swam — everthing."
They didn't realize how special their bond was until one summer when they
played on different teams.
"I realized we played best together and enjoyed playing together." Christi Musser said. "I look over to center field, and Shelly wasn't there; it was strange."
Shelly Musser agreed that her sister was the perfect complement on the field.
"I'm a better outfielder when we play together," she said. "I know I can be more aggressive, because she will back me up.
Everybody thinks we have ESP when we play. We've played next to each other so long, we know each other's capabilities." Their on-field chemistry transcends verbal communication.
"Sometimes they don't talk enough, they know each other so well," Bunge said. "They are both solid, but I think they have an inner rivalry that makes them better together."
Their closeness carries off the field as well. The sisters enjoy dancing, eating out, or just watching TV together.
"They are obviously best friends," said roommate and teammate Meagan Urquhart, Shawnee sophomore. "They live together and share a car so they go everywhere together."
The sisters' personalities make them a perfect match, Urquhart said.
"I am more laid-back and quiet," Christi Musser said. "I tend to keep to myself. Shelly is more aggressive and outgoing. She always tries to get me out of my shell." Fesh nigrax knows the other will be there

Team to take shot at brick wall
Kansas builds new forward line to beat top goalie
By Chris Wristen
The Bulldogs, 5-0 and ranked 17th nationally, are led by the nation's top-ranked goalkeeper, junior Nicole Williams. Williams has yet to give up a goal this season, posting six shutouts. It's been more than 614 minutes of game time since she last gave up a goal. That streak is the 11th longest in NCAA history.

Kicking shots against a solid brick wall might have been the best way for the Kansas women's soccer team to prepare for today's game against Georgia.
"Their defense is good," said coach Mark Francis. "It's going to be tough to score on them, but they've also stuck some in the net — so we've got to stop them from scoring first. I think we're going to
be able to do that."
By making some adjustments to its lineup, Kansas hopes to put an end to Williams's streak.
"(The change) has gone really well, and I think we're going to be a lot better off with the changes we made." Francis said.
Those changes included moving sophomore Natalie Hoogveld from defender to forward, junior Mehmann Haven from center-mid

midfield to utilize her speed.
"We've been working a lot on where to make our runs, so hopefully that will help us to (finish) better," Hoogveld said. "So maybe we can slow them down."
Georgia's offense has been consistent in all of its wins this season, too. Its attack is headed by freshman forward Beth Culver, who has scored four goals so far this season.
To help counter the Bulldog offensive charge, senior Lindsey Loeffler has made her return to the starting lineup at defender.
"Lindsey is a senior, and I know she's got some experience and played a lot since she's been here, so she's getting the job done for us." Francis said.
In addition to Loeffler, senior goalkeeper Betsy Pollard will need to make a strong showing. Pollard has a 1.77 goals against average this season and ranks 13th in the nation in saves per game.
Georgia is the second top 25 team Kansas will face this year, with five more looming ahead. A victory against a ranked team is just the thing the Jayhawks are seeking.
Edited by Mike Loader
"We know we're a good team with tons of potential, but until we show the ranked teams that we can play we're still going to be just Kansas soccer," Hoogveld said. "Our goal is to someday be ranked, too, because we don't always want to be the underdog — we want to dominate."
Alumni are 'real' fans of Jayhawks
Haven't heard of them?
I'd like to introduce you to the Vignotellis.
Didn't make it to football's equivalent of Late Night with Roy Williams? That's a shame.
You might have seen them Aug. 22 at the Get Ready Rally. They were all there — grandmother Joanie Vignotelli, her children Becky, Debbie, Pam and Brad, and all of her grandchildren, who were able to meet their Jayhawk football heroes and collect autographs.
Maybe you saw them at the Notre Dame game three weeks ago. They caught a flight to South Bend, Ind., to see their beloved Jayhawks battle the Irish. Didn't make it to that one? Me neither.
"It's kind of a family day," says daughter Debbie, who lives in Topeka.
I've got it. You've probably seen them at every home football game. They tailgate at Memorial Stadium for two hours before every home game, and usually don't leave until two hours after the game. They grill hot dogs and hamburgers, rain or shine, while the kids play catch and frolic on the hill.
In fact, all four of Joanie's kids graduated from Kansas, and they all have held season tickets
Kansas football tradition with the Vignotellis. Joanie the late husband Gene played football and ran track for Kansas from 1951-55. Her son Brad played on the 1981 Kansas football team that played in the Hall of Fame Bowl.

for football and basketball since they graduated.
As you're walking down the Hill toward Memorial Stadium some time, to your left there is a tree and a bench placed in memory of Gene Vignotelli, who died just a year and a half ago. Sometimes after a game of catch on the Hill before a Jayhawk game, the kids will run to the memorial for a rest. They call it grandpa's bench.
You saw the video board, right? Well, the Vignotellis paid for that. Okay, so they didn't buy the entire thing, but the more than $10,000 they donate to the Williams Fund every year helped pay for it — as well as for other improvements and restorations across campus.
Still not ringing any bells?
Contributions to the Williams Fund provide 35 percent of the operating budget for the entire athletics department.
Maybe you don't go to many football games. That's all right You might have seen the Vignotellis at other Kansas sporting events.
They attend several women's basketball games and volleyball matches every year, and their grandkids participate in Junior Jayhawks, which gives them admittance to various games and clinics.
I think I know how you might know them. The Vignotellis are alumni. That's correct — the dreaded "A" word. Now I'm sure you know them.
They take the best parking spots at sporting events, they pack our restaurants and bars on game day and steal the seats on the sidelines at Allen Fieldhouse that rightfully belong to students — the "real" fans.
And sometimes, God forbid, they don't stand at basketball games, and they might leave a little early to beat traffic.
Just a little something to think about before basketball season gets here and students decide to become Jayhawk fans, and the inevitable moaning and whining commences.
A few years from now you will be gone, but the Vignotellis will still be here, getting sneered at by a entirely new group of "real" fans.
By the way, the football genie says Kansas 41, Colorado 24 — and the Vignotellis agree.

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 7.
If you've been thinking of trying something radical, especially pertaining to your career and income you may be on the right track. It will be better if you wait until tomorrow to get started, though.
Meanwhile, make sure you know as much as possible.
Taurus: Today is a 5.
Today, there's wheeling and dealing to be done — and maybe a couple of good-sized decisions. Take care with those; you may not have all of the facts yet. If things are still too confusing, back off. Wait until the obvious course of action presents itself.
Your partner or mate might be in a nasty mood, so take care. Be nice, be pleasant and be supportive.
And you know that wity retart you've saved up?
Can it! Instead, come up with a nice compliment, even if it about gags you.
The workload is intense, and a breakdown might cause you to fear you won't get it all done on time. A friend would love to help if you ask. Don't be afraid to do that.
Cancer: Today is a 5.
Leo: Today is a 6.
A dear friend of yours has a better chance of getting through to an authority figure than you do. If you're having trouble getting your point across, ask this friend to intervene. If you feed this person the information, he or she might make the sale.
Virao: Todav is a 5.
Watch out for breakage at home. Don't let the kids play with the good china, for example. You can get rid of stuff you don't use any more though, and you might feel better if you do. Recycle the clutter.
Libra: Today is a 7.
You and your sweetheart could start the planning stages for making your dreams come true. Plenty of great ideas are floating around, but not too many cold, hard facts. Start by making a time line and don't despair if your plan looks impossible. You can always make corrections later.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
Saaittarius: Today is a 7.
Discuss your financial situation with your partner, and you could get a bit of support. You'll get lots of good advice, of course, and you might even qualify for a small loan. Your best source of revenue, however, is still an older person who depends on you.
There could be one more clash between you and a person who's been on your case. This person has been critical of everything you do. You may have had enough of it by now. If you decide to toss a few barbs back, do it with a smile. You'll be more effective.
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
Do you ever feel like something's nudging at you, pushing you to try something you've always wanted to do? Do you have that feeling now? If so, you ought to take the risk. It might mean giving something up, but what you get could be much better.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
Something you thought was a done deal could fall through. Don't you just hate it when that happens? This is not necessarily the final word, however. By Monday, everything could be OK again. Help make that happen by not getting nervous now. Never let them see you sweat.
Pisces: Today is a 5.
If you have any skeletons lurking in your closes, better tidy them up and make them presentable. Confession is good for the soul, but if you're going to do it, be in the right place with the right person. Somebody who's ordained would be best.

Clay court, hurricane may menace Jayhawks
By Melinda Weaver sports@kansan.com Kansan swordwriter
Hurricane Floyd will not stop the Kansas men's tennis players from traveling to Baltimore for the National Clay Court Tournament — but it may hinder them once they arrive.
Junior Ed Dus, sophomore Rodrigo Echagaray and freshman Eleazar Magallan will compete in the tournament, which is considered one of the four most prestigious tournaments in collegiate tennis, based on last season's regional ranking.
One of the bigger obstacles for the Kansas players to overcome will be adapting their skills to a clay court, which requires a different approach than a hard court.
"You have to be more patient," said men's tennis coach Mark Riley. "On a hard court, it's easier to move, on a clay court, you

Despite the weather problems and clay courts, Riley said he expected the team to see success this weekend against some of the nation's best collegiate tennis players.
"We should do some damage this weekend because we have been conditioning since school started," Riley said. "There are always
some surprises. I expect us to do well."
Because the tournament will continue for a week, Dus and Echagarray will not compete until next week, but Magallan will compete this weekend.
Magallan qualified based on his No. 4 junior national ranking and No. 12 ranking in Mexico.
He comes to Kansas with an impressive résumé after beating Kansas senior star Luis Uribe in straight sets last season in Mexico.
Dus qualified based on his No.44 doubles ranking last season.
He and partner Uribe upset the No. 1-ranked doubles team and advanced to the semi-finals of the Rolex Indoors last season.
This season, he will team up with Echagaray, who completed the season with an 11-7 doubles and 12-6 singles record.

Swimmers go jump in lake for traditional season debut
By Brent Briggeman
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
In an open water race — the only meet of its kind in the country — the Kansas swimming team will endure chilly temperatures for a SK race this weekend against Southern Illinois at Clinton Lake.
"It's a viewer-friendly race," said Kansas coach Gary Kempf. "It's the only dual meet, open-lake race in the country, and it's become a Kansas tradition."
The dual race has been held all 24 years Kempf has been at Kansas. This will be the sixth year in a row that the team will swim against Southern Illinois.
"It's tremendous for our aerobic conditioning," Kempf said. "In a pool there's always a chance to rest; you can rest on the wall or on the bottom of the

Members of the team agreed.
Members of the team agreed.
"It's definitely tiring," said Brian Klapper, senior captain.
"But it's fun, it's just become part of tradition."
Although the format of the race is radically different from those during the season, Kempf uses it as an indication of his team's character.
"Swimming in the lake takes them out of their comfort zone." Kempf said. "It gives you a chance to see what they're made of and who will be a little more aggressive."
Then there's the issue of the cold.
Forecasts are calling for partly cloudy skies and a high of 82 degrees tomorrow. But the race is at 8 a.m., when the air temperature will be closer to 55 degrees.
"It's going to be cold," Klapper said. "We swam here this afternoon for about an hour and it was pretty cold. Fortunately you get into it, hopefully, that

will happen Saturday morning."
"It is that bad," Kemp said. "If it is too cold they'll swim faster. But actually the water temperature will be around 74 degrees, so the swimmers will be warmer in the water than out. They'll be warmer than me."
Kempf will take only 12 swimmers to the race from both the women's and men's squads. Among the swimmers will be senior women's team captains Rebecca Eustice, Jenny Fuller and Kerri Pribily, as well as senior men's team captains Klapper and Andy Kyser.
"We've got a big group of hungry freshmen," Kempf said. "It'll be interesting to see how they do."
Kempf also will take four freshmen on both squads.
The swim team will compete next Oct.15.

Kansas visits third recruit from wish list
The Kansas recruiting wagon made its third major stop Tuesday in Tripp, S.D., with an in-home visit to 6-foot-11-inch high school center Jared Reiner.
By Matt Tait
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
By Matt Tait
Along with guard DeShawn Stevenson of Long Beach, Calif., and Travon Bryant of Fresno, Calif., Reiner is at the top of Kansas' short wish list of high school seniors.
According to ESPN SportsZone's recruiting Web site, Reiner is among the top 10 centers in the nation.
While Reiner's skills certainly merit the attention, the press and publicity he has received in the past two years has been a bit overwhelming for Reiner, as well as for his coach and his town.
"It's as new to me as it is to him," said Dan Sabers, Reiner's high school coach. "This doesn't happen too often in South Dakota."
Reiner has attracted several big-name schools, Connecticut, Syracuse, Illinois, Utah, Iowa and Notre Dame join Kansas in pursuing Reiner, making the decision a tough one.
One factor will be the distance of the prospective schools from home. Sabers said that Kansas and Iowa were the same distance from Tripn.
Unlike Kansas' other top recruits this off season, Reiner recently changed his mind and plans to sign during the early signing period, which runs from Nov. 10 to 17.
Al Seibert of Heartland Hoops said that Reiner told them that his visits with Iowa and Illinois last week were very good.
Iowa visited Reiner before Kansas. But after visiting with coach Roy Williams and his staff, Reiner and his coach were equally pleased with both schools.
"It it went really well," Sabers said. "Coach Williams is very distinguished and I was very impressed with his concern for academics — he really stressed that."
In fact, the visit went so well that Sabers said that it was his opinion — not necessarily Reiner's — that Kansas and Iowa were probably the top two schools on his list.
"The visit was equal to Iowa," Sabers said. "They were both selling the strong points of their programs, which are totally different. At Iowa they are offering playing time now, and at Kansas they are offering tradition and success. He knows that at Kansas he'll have to pay his dues, but also that there may be a Final Four down the line."
Reiner, and all of the recruits, have until Sept. 26 to have in-home visits and then must decide whether to sign in the early November signing period or to wait until spring.

Similar seasons raise stakes for matchup
Kansas, Colorado each have plenty to prove in game
By Michael Rigg
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
While vindication for last season's 33-17 defeat would be motivation enough for the Colorado Buffaloes against Kansas, new Colorado coach Gary Barnett is using tomorrow's game as a chance to see how his Buffaloes are truly made.
"We've just been too inconsistent," Barnett said.
Is this the team that committed six turnovers and was embarrassed 41-14 by Colorado State? Or is this the team that set numerous offensive records last week en route to a 63-35 victory against San Jose State?
For Colorado safety Robbie
Robinson, the matic fluctuation was simply a matter of focus.
dra-
CUJ
"The differer-
ence in the lock-
ence in the locker room was that there was no intensity in the pregame warm-up against Colorado State." Robinson said. "This week, we were ready to go. We were fired up, and I thought we had a lot to prove. Now, we have to come out and do the same thing against Kansas."
Kansas coach Terry Allen is aware of Colorado's up-and-down season. Allen said that the Buffaloes' season to date had mirrored the of the Jayhawks.
"The more I watch Colorado and study the situation, the more I notice the similarities," he said.
Like Kansas, Colorado committed several key turnovers and lost on its opening game, which was on national television. Also like the Jayhawks, the Buffaloes rebounded in their next game and defeated a team from California(Kansas blew out Cal State Northridge 71-14 last week.
"You would say Colorado got manhandled by Colorado State, but they committed six turnovers,
which parallels our situation with Notre Dame." Allen said. "Then this last week, we both put on record-setting offensive performances. It's interesting."
Barnett agreed.
"I don't think either one of us knows how good we are," Barnett said. "We both have to walk away from last week's game and consider our opponents a little bit. We can't get too excited."
Much of Colorado's school-record 767-yard offensive outburst against San Jose State has been attributed to 24-year-old senior quarterback Mike Moschetti. Against the Spartans, Moschetti set school records for passing yards in a game (465), total offense in a game (499) and the best single-game completion percentage for a passer with more than 20 attempts (78.1 percent). For his efforts, Moschetti was named the Big 12 Conference's offensive player of the week.
"I'm proud of the record, but if it wasn't for my offensive line and receivers, I never would have accomplished that," he said. "I can only recall one time when I was even pressured."
Kansas defensive end Dion Rayford said that containing Moschetti, who is 6 feet tall and 195 pounds, would be a key to victory tomorrow.
"He's a mobile guy, but he's little," Rayford said. "If you get to him, you can probably hurt him or something. Hopefully, we can get to him and force him into some bad decisions."
Colorado also features preseason all-Big 12 Conference cornerback Ben Kelly, a dangerous performer who returns punts and kicks for the Buffaloes, and wide receiver Marcus Stiggers, whom Allen said was the fastest player in college football.
Kansas has not won in Boulder since 1959, when the Jayhawks upset Colorado 40-24. The 1995 win catapulted Kansas to a 10-2 season and effectively ended Colorado's national championship hopes. With the past in mind, Barnett is aware of the implications of tomorrow's game.
"This is a huge game," Barnett said. "It's absolutely huge."

Defensive end Hanak eager for win against home state
By Mike Miller
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
He is the face of Kansas football.
He is the face of Kansas football. Everywhere in Lawrence, Jeremy Hanak's face is on the posters advertising the team. His face isn't really a scowl, but it's not really a smile either.
He just looks like a football player.
He just looks like a football player. "They went through the media guide and decided that my face was what they wanted." Hanak said. "Either it's that I'm mean-looking or really ugly-looking."
The poster campaign doesn't show most of Hanak's features - he has his helmet on and his cheeks have black paint on them - so he has a hard time convincing people that it's him, including his family.
"My dad had a copy of the poster up at Notre Dame and showed it to my grandma and said it was me," Hanak said. "She didn't think so."
lights for a player who has been plagued by injuries during his career at Kansas. He has injured his anterior cruciate ligament and his right shoulder, and he has had arthroscopic surgery on both of his knees.
The poster has been one of the high
"In high school, I was never injured," he said.
Hanak, a defensive end for the Jayhawks, was dominant in high school. During his career at Centaurus High School in Louisville, Colo. Hanak teamed with Colorado Buffalo offensive lineman Ryan Johanningmeier as one of the best tandems in the state.
"I played defensive end and tight end; he played defensive tackle and offensive tackle," Hanak said. "We made it to the state semifinals my junior and senior years."
Johanningmeier was recruited by Colorado, and Hanak was recruited by Kansas. Now, Hanak thinks Colorado overlooked him. Every time Kansas has played the Buffaloes,
Hanak said he looked forward to that game a little bit more than the rest.
"Since Terry's been here, he's been good about getting me playing time," he said.
Playing time along the defensive line has been harder to come by this year with the emergence of defensive end Justin Sands splitting time with starters Dion Johnson and Dion Rayford. In fact, it's been the emergence of Sands that has improved the line this year.
"He's going to be a monster -- watch," Rayford said.
the defensive line is just one part of the Jayhawk team that needs to have success against Colorado for a Jayhawk win. Hanak just wants to play well in the last game in his career against the team that overlooked him.
"It's a big game for me," he said. "I'm ready to go back. There's a little bit of a revenge factor."

Evans' return to team not likely
His loss is latest issue to trouble Nebraska
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — In the latest chapter in what has become a college football soap opera, the chances appeared dim yesterday that promising running back DeAngelo Evans would return to the Nebraska roster after unexpectedly quitting the team Sunday.
Coach Frank Solich said the junior was frustrated because of injuries that had kept him out of games in the past and because of a slow start this year.
While he did not rule out the possibility of Evans returning, he did not sound optimistic after yesterday's practice that Evans would ask — or be asked — to return.

"DeAngelo has made a decision," Solich said. "We're not in any category right now than doing anything other
Solich said he talked with the team and coaches about Evans as the No. 4 Cornhusks prepared for tomorrow's
game against
S out he n
Mississippi.
Nebraska defensive coordinator Charlie McBride said at yesterday's Big Red Breakfast in Omaha that people should support Evans no matter what the final decision is.
PETER WILLIAM KEWAN
Solich said he last talked to Evans on Tuesday.
"He was in town at one point — I'm not sure he is now," Solich said. "But we will, I'm sure, have another conversation."
Evans could not be reached for comment.
Earlier, reserve quarterback Jay Runty transferred to Nebraska at Omaha and Eric Crouch, now the No. 1 quarterback, reportedly was upset and met with Solich in Omaha after Bobby Newcombe was named the top signal-caller.
Running back Correll Buckhalter, who led the team in rushing last year, quit the team for three days last week, apparently upset about lack of playing time behind Evans and Dan Alexander. He returned but served a one-game suspension against California.
The season has been choppy for Solich.
Newcombe reportedly asked to be switched to wingback earlier this week, making Crouch the starter.
The 5-foot-10, 215-pound Evans was considered a top prospect out of high school in Wichita.
He ran for 776 yards and 14 touchdowns as a Nebraska freshman in 1996.
A pelvic injury sidelined Evans in 1997. He had knee surgery before last season and played in just three games while battling other injuries. He finished with 227 yards on 38 carries.
Undefeated records at stake
Cyclones, Runnin' Rebels both looking to recover from last season's losses
By Michael Rigg
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Last season, Iowa State and UNLV couldn't win.
The Cyclones finished 1998 3-8, and the Runnin' Rebels were 0-11.
This year, neither team can lose.
Tomorrow night in Ames, Iowa, both schools will put their undefeated records on the line when the two teams square off in Las Vegas.
"2-0 is definitely not easy to come by," said Iowa State coach Dan McCarney, whose Cyclones are 2-0 for the first time since 1985.
Quarterback Sage Rosenfels said he thought the Cyclones' undefeated start legitimized the Iowa State program.
"It shows that we are consistent," he said. "We are for real."
UNLV, meanwhile, is coming off a miraculous last-play victory against Baylor last week, and Runnin' Rebel coach John Robinson told his players not to pray for any additional luck this week.
"I told them God has already given us enough." Robinson said.
Here's a look at some other of tomorrow's action in the Big 12 Conference:
Oklahoma State at Mississinni State
Oklahoma State at Mississippi State Both Oklahoma State and Mississippi State head into tomorrow's match up with 2-0 records.
Cowboy quarterback Tony Lindsay will not play against the Bulldogs. He will be side-

Su
All week, Simmons has denied rumors that Tiger's decision-making last week against Tulsa had landed him in the coach's doghouse.
"B.J. is not in the doghouse," Simmons said

Tomorrow marks the first meeting between between the two schools in Starkville, Miss., since 1970. The Cowboys held off the Bulldogs last season 42-23 in Stillwater, Okla.

For Southern Mississippi, this marks the first game in a series of tough opponents. Next week, the Golden Eagles take on Texas A&M, then play a tough Eastern Carolina team.
Golden Eagle coach Jeff Bower said he saw no problem with scheduling the nation's elite.
"I don't really think about that," Bower said. "You have to get ready. The rankings say they are the top two teams in that league right now, but I feel good about our team."
This will mark the first meeting between the two schools.

Rough-and-tumble Kansas men's rugby gets physical

COLLEGE RUGBY
Students looking for a hard-hitting, fast-paced approach to athletics need to look no further than the Kansas men's rugby team
No helmets, no pads, no problem for members of the Kansas men's rugby team who practiced last week. Although serious injuries are rare, cuts and bruises are par for a rugby course.

The Jayhawks kicked off their season last Saturday with a 41-10 drubbing of Nebraska-Omaha, and want to continue that success for the rest of the season. A formidable opponent awaits this weekend as Kansas travel to Truman State.
"It's the biggest game of the season in terms of how well we're going to do," said Ben Figard, Bartlesville, Okla., senior. "They are our biggest rival."
Rugby combines elements of football and soccer to create a game as physical as football, without the aid of pads or helmets. In fact, rugby has been around longer than the sports it appears to combine.
"It has characteristics that parallel so many other sports," said Brian Holmes, Omaha, Neb., senior. "Fundamentals of several other sports have been derived from rugby."
Holmes said that rugby influenced James Naismith when he invented basketball.
Rugby originated in Great Britain in the early 19th century. While its biggest following remains overseas, its popularity in the United States continues to grow.
The main goal of rugby is simple — move the ball down the field and get it into the try zone, which is similar to football's end zone. A try, which is similar to a touch
the pace of rugby that sets it apart.
down in football, is worth five points, with a two-point conversion attempted after each try. A team also can score three points during play if a player kicks the ball through the goal posts. While the scoring may mirror football, Holmes said it was
"Football goes all-out for a few seconds and then has a break between plays," he said. "Rugby goes all out all the time. And if you substitute out, you can't come back in for the rest of the game."
Rugby is played on a field 100 meters
long, and 15 players are in the field for each team. Of those 15, eight are forwards and seven are backs. Holmes said that the forwards tend to be the bigger, slower players and the backs were the smaller, quicker ones.
The ball is moved down the field by players running with the ball and passing it to their teammates. Passes can be thrown backward or laterally, but not forward.
"Rugby is a possession game," Holmes said. "Football is more of a vardage game."
"Rugby is a possession game." Holmes said. "Football is more of a yardage game." The men's rugby team is the collegiate branch of a group called the Kansas Jayhawk Rugby Football Club, which also encompasses the Kansas women's team and a club team mostly made up of alumni. Holmes said that some enjoyed rugby so much that they continued playing competitively later in life.
"There's a guy in his 60s that still plays in a rec league," he said. "And I hear about a guy that is 80 that still plays competitive rugby."
Figard said that once he started playing rugby, it not to be addictive.
"There's no way to describe the intensity," he said. "It's like golf. You spend so much time figuring out how to do one part of the game right, and when you finally do it is the greatest feeling."
Figard said that rugby was a perfect fit in his life when he came to college.
"It itfs what I am good at," he said. "I enjoy the physical activity and athleticism involved. Plus, you get to be a part of a fun group of guys. It's more than just a sport;

it's a way of life."
Holmes said that during a rugby match any player on the field had a chance to get a piece of the action.
"If you are in the right place and you get the ball and put effort into it, you can score," he said. "People get hooked by the fact that everyone participates."
But Holmes warned that touching the ball sometimes came with a price.
"You'll see guys jump up to catch the ball and right when he does — boom — he gets hit," he said. "There are a lot of high-speed collisions. Sometimes guys get picked up and slammed down but there are rarely any serious injuries, mostly just cuts and bruises. Ruby gets a bad rap, but it's not as dangerous as most people think."
Holmes said even for people who didn't know anything about rugby, it could be a fun sport to watch.
"It's so physical," he said. "You can see a guy running down the field and get killed all of a sudden. It's great."

Jewish students, faculty and staff at the University of Kansas began to fast yesterday at sundown and will not break fast until an hour after sundown today.
They are celebrating Yom Kippur — the day of atonement.
Eric Allison. New Orleans sophomore, helped organize the service. Allison said that other campuses had student-led services, but that this is the first time KU students have led a service.
Jewish students will lead a Yom Kippur service today at 10 a.m. at the upstairs sanctuary of the Lawrence Jewish Community Center, 917 Highland Dr., which is one block east of Iowa Street.
Jewish students have chosen a mixture of traditional and contemporary writings, in Hebrew and English, and they will take turns leading the service. They have compiled a prayer book, so that students can follow along in the readings and recitations.
Allison said he had enjoyed studentled services in high school when he was a member of North American Federation of Temple Youth. He said the service would give students a chance to get involved.
The Kol Nidre service last night at the three-fourths-full Kansas Union Ballroom gave people a chance to reflect on the past year and ask God for forgiveness of wrongdoing. This is the culmination of a time of asking for forgiveness. In the past week,

Faculty pay under review in equity flap
By Clay McCusliter writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas administration will study equity in pay for University faculty during the next two months.
The study was approved last Wednesday by the Council of University CEOs at the Board of Regents' first meeting of the semester. Chancellor Robert Hemenway is part of the Council, which includes the leaders of the six universities directly controlled by the Regents.
the administration of the other five state universities Kansas state, Imperia State State State State State
Mary Burg, executive assistant to the chancelor, said that the equity study was not unusual.
also will conduct studies and report back to the Council of CEOs by Dec. 1.
for, said that he needs "Every year we make adjustments of this sort." Burg said. "This is an issue that the University looks at carefully every year at salary time,"
Burg said the study would be supervised through the office of provost David Shulenburger. The Council of Chief Academic Officers, on which Shulenburger serves, made the original recommendation for the equity studies in the Regents schools.
"This is not the first time we've looked at these issues, nor will it be the last time," Burg said. "This is something we review regularly."
Buddy Gray, president of the Council of Faculty Senate Presidents and K-State history professor, told the Regents Thursday that faculty at the six universities planned their own equity studies.
Gray said the faculty studies could include unclassified staff and look at the resources allocated to women and minorities at the Universities.
"At KU the faculty executive committee has not established a task force to collect information for a gender equity study," said Mary Hawkins, president of the KU faculty senate. "I know of no definite plans to do so at this stage."
At the present time, however, the University of Kansas has not planned a faculty study.
"We have not moved into that stage of study," she said. "The means of doing that has not been determined as yet, certainly not at KU."
Hawkins said K-State had already started such a task force.
Hawkins said the faculty senate was interested in helping with the administrative study and open to conducting further equity research.
administration for Katherine Rose-Mockry, director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said she was glad the University was studying the subject
openly. We want to work in collaboration with the Administration in this process," she said.
She said she had heard concerns from some female faculty members about equal pay and treatment.
"It's really important for the campus to see if women faculty are being treated equitably," she said. "It's wonderful that it's being taken seriously."

Nomination of new SLAB coordinator raises doubts
By Chris Borniger
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A recent appointment to the Student Legislative Awareness Board has the KU Young Democrats crying foul.
The Young Democrats sent a letter to Korb Maxwell, student body president, protesting the appointment of Tim Burger, Lenexa senior, as issues research coordinator. The letter alleged that Burger's appointment "seriously undermines SLAB's ability to maintain its non-partisan appearance."
Burger is also vice chairman of KU College Republicans and opinion editor of the Kansas Review, a student conservative newspaper. He said the Young Democrats' allegation of a conflict of interest didn't apply.
"Obviously, I think it's unfounded," Burger said. "I see my role on SLAB as totally separate. I'm working not on my own agenda, but on SLAB's."
As issues research coordinator, Burger is responsible for presenting to Student Senate an agenda of campus, local and state issues for SLAB to pursue and for organizing research on issues on which SLAB is charged to lobby.
Jack Martin, president of Young Democrats, said Burger's highly visible position in College Republicans called into question his ability to remain non-partisan.
"SLAB should represent all students regardless of political views," he said. "We're concerned this appointment would jeopardize that."
Senate approved Burger's appointment Wednesday night. Erin Simpson, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator and SLAB
issues research coordinator last year, was the only one to vote against the appointment.
"There's definitely the potential for partisan action to be made through SLAB," she said. "This has the look of impropriety, and that's dangerous."
Simpson said SLAB had in the past strived to maintain non-partisanship. Last year, SLAB declined the Young Democrats' offer to

Burger: will be responsible for presenting SLAB agenda to Senate.
Maxwell, who was SLAB's legislative director last year, said he appointed Burger because he was an outsider to Senate. Burger's affiliation with the Republican Party, he said, was less of a concern than any affiliation with a Senate coalition.
"This is not something that goes along Republican and Democrat lines," he said. "In my three years with SLAB, it's never been a problem, and I don't think it'll be one now. I think he'll do a wonderful job."
Burger said he did not plan to step down from his position.
"Let's go beyond this," he said. "When someone is appointed to a position like this, it's normal to question that. But it's time to start working. I don't think this should ever have been an issue."

Watch this space: new technophile toy hits Lawrence
By Clare McLellan
The result of a merger between Motorola and Timex, Beepwear is the first company to combine a pager and wrist watch into one product. The Beepwear pager watch is a fully functional pager in the form of a watch that does more than just tell time.
Special to the Kansan
Students looking for the latest electron ic toy and want to cut down on their communications clutter have a new option: Beepwear.
"The technology is absolutely amazing. They're always coming out with something new and something different," said Jonathan Starlin, Office Depot employee. Office Depot is one of the main carriers of Beepwear and is the only store in Lawrence that sells the watch. He said the store just received this model about a month ago.
The watch can store up to 16 alphanumeric pages or e-mail messages.
receives free news, sports and weather updates and operates with FLEXtime, a system that automatically sets and keeps the correct time, even in different time zones through satellite positioning. The watch can also store up to 150 names and phone numbers and will schedule eight different alarms. The watch is lightweight and no larger than an average sport watch.
Juan Heath, Lawrence senior and University Daily Kansan online editor, recently purchased a Beepwear watch and said he was pleased with it.
"I've had a paper for about three years, but this is something I really wanted because of the extra features. It's lightweight, and you don't have to worry about it falling off," he
said. "There's a toy factor, too; it's a gadget."
Paging services cost $16.95 a month, which consumers can pay in quarterly, semi-annual or annual installments. Convenience, Starlin said, is a big advantage of this product.
de
"The watch is good for any who could use a lighter load," he said. "The fewer machines you have to carry around, the better, and having a beeper, watch and cell phone can be kind of a mess."
Starlin said so far.
most st of the watches customers were business people. But students who carry pagers and wear watches might save money by purchasing Beepwear. And the chance of the pager falling off a person's wrist is less than a pager slipping off a belt

or out of a pocket, he said. Chris Milligan,
Chris Milligan, Overland Park junior and pager owner, agreed. "Wearing a pager in your belt is not that convenient, and it would be kind of nice to have one on your wrist where it won't all off." he said
SkyTel, a nationwide telecommunications company, provides the paging service for Beepwear. Beepwear.com is currently offering $30 of free service for ordering the product on-line. Office Depot sells the watch for $129.99.

Although Milligan said that price did not seem outrageous, he would like to see if it might drop.

Fire at sorority causes $500 worth of damage
A small fire Thursday morning at the Pi Beta Phi sorority house, 1612 W. 15th St., caused an estimated $500 in damage, but Housemother Sunny Walsh said it did not set back renovation construction.
She said sparks from an iron welding started the fire on an addition workers were constructing that will include more bedrooms, a dining room and a library.
The fire occurred outside the south side of the building, and there were no injuries or damage to the house.
Walsh said the building was evacuated and welders extinguished the flames before the fire department arrived.
Alpha Kappa Lambda wins Wheat Meet
Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity won first place at the 12th-annual John Blubaugh Memorial Wheat Meet, a track and field competition at Memorial Stadium on Saturday morning.
The event was organized by the fraternity and Alpha Chi Omega sorority.
Drew Maier, Wichita junior and one of four event philanthropy chairs, said the event raised between $10,000 and $12,000 for cancer research at the University of Kansas.
The money came from T-shirt sales on campus last week. Each shirt cost $10, and Maier said members sold nearly 1,500 shirts.
The fraternity will get to keep a traveling trophy until next year's competition.

Fieldhouse to welcome blood drive this week
The KUAC blood drive will be at Allen Fieldhouse from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Friday.
The Kansas University Athletic Corporation's campus blood drive this week will be an attempt to answer Kansas Blood Services' cry for donors.
The blood drive coincides with Kansas Blood Services' appeal to help build the state's blood supply today and tomorrow. The appeal is due to an anticipated delay in testing on Wednesday.
There has been a 20 percent drop in donations since Sept.10 with type O+ and O- blood in very short supply, said Angie Glenn, Kansas Blood Services public relations coordinator.
Donors at Allen Fieldhouse this week will receive two free movie passes to Hollywood Theatres, coupons for free food and other give-aways.

Spacesuit tag brings $310,500 at auction
NEW YORK—A NASA name tag coated with lunar dust that was worn by an astronaut who walked on the moon sold at auction for $310,500.
The 6-by-12-inch cloth keepsake was cut from an insulated jacket worn by an astronaut, the late James Irwin, during the 1971 flight of Apollo 15. The lunar dust — which created a dark gray tint around the raised edges of the tag — became embedded into the tag during three separate moon walks.
The jacket and other equipment were left on the moon to lighten the load on the spacecraft's return trip, but Iwin cut out and kept his tag, which also bears a NASA emblem, before discarding the jacket.
The item, which was sold Saturday by Christie's auction house on behalf of Irwin's estate, sold for three times its presale estimate and was the highest-selling lot in a sale of nearly 300 space-related items.
A spacesuit worn by Neil Armstrong during training brought the second-highest price — $178,500, more than twice its presale estimate.
The suit bears a NASA emblem, has Armstrong's name on an interior label and has several layers designed to protect the body both from temperature extremes and punctures.
Any item that was flown into space and all spacesuits must first be offered to the Smithsonian before they can be sold on the open market, which contributes to their rarity and value.
Infoseek executive arrested for internet sex solicitation
LOS ANGELES—An executive of the Web portal site Infoseek was arrested for soliciting sex with a teen-ager via the Internet, authorities said.
Patrick J. Naughton was arrested Thursday by FBI agents at the Santa Monica Pier, U.S. Attorney's spokesman Thom Mrozek said Saturday.
to a male FBI agent posing as a 13- year-old girl, the Los Angeles Times said Saturday.
An affidavit filed in federal court accused Naughton, an executive vice president of Infoseek, of interstate travel with the intent of having sex with a minor, Mrozek said.
It alleged that Naughton, who oversees the Walt Disney Co.'s Go Network Internet sites, sent lewd messages in an Internet chat room
Naughton, 34, of Seattle, was released Friday pending an Oct. 12 arrangement, Mrozek said.
There was no comment from Naughton. A message left for a Patrick J. Naughton in Seattle wasn't returned.
"We are deeply shocked and disturbed by this. We're looking into the matter," Infoseek spokeswoman Terrie Prosper told the Times.
Calls seeking comment from Buena Vista Internet Group in Burbank and the Walt Disney Co. in Burbank were not immediately returned
Disney acquired a stake in Infoseek last year and worked with it to create the Go Network, which competes with other portal sites to offer Web searches, entertainment and personalized news. In July, Disney said it was acquiring all of Infoseek.
Gert gets cold shoulder; Bermuda at high risk
MIAMI—Hurricane Gert's threat to Bermuda rose Saturday with the advent of a cold front along the eastern United States that was expected to push the storm on a course towards the island.
At 11 p.m. EDT, Gert, a category 3 hurricane, was heading northwest at about 10 mph, with top sustained winds near 125 mph and some higher gusts, according to the National Hurricane Center. It was about 690 miles southeast of Bermuda.
The cold front was expected to create a trough over the waters of the western Atlantic that could force Gert to turn to the northwest, then to the north, according to Lixion Avila, a hurricane specialist at the hurricane center in Miami.
Gert was projected to reach a point about 150 miles southeast of Bermuda within 72 hours, Avila said Saturday.
If it continues a fourth day, it could be over Bermuda on Wednesday, he said late Saturday.
The same cold front that was expected to push Gert on a more direct path toward Bermuda also was expected to put the eastern United States father from danger, Avila said.
Gert, about 500 miles wide Saturday, earlier in the week had top winds of up to 145 mph, making the system the fourth Category 4 storm of the Atlantic hurricane season. That season runs from June 1 through November 30.

Prairie Park shows off new center to impressed Lawrence residents

There were no lions or tigers or bears, but there were plenty of other animals for Lawrence residents to get in touch with at the debut of the Prairie Park Nature Center on Saturday.
Freed DeVictor, director of Parks and Recreation, said this was a special project that would educate both youth and adults about Kansas natural resources and the local environment.
Kids, still dressed in their Saturday soccer uniforms, oiled snakes and rummaged through animal pelts while Lawrence city officials and other adults toured the new $850,000 facility.
The nature center, 2730 Harper St. is located in 71-acre Prairie Park, which features a virgin prairie, seven-acre Mary's Lake, a wooded environment and a neighborhood park.
Mayor Erv Hodges said that he was impressed with the 5,500 square-foot facility and that it would be busy serving the total community.
"You know that old saying, 'Build it right, and they will come,'" he said. "Well, I think we built it right."
Marty Birrell, the Nature Interpretive Supervisor, said that the heart had come a long way in a short time but that it still needed work.
"There's a great deal more that we want to accomplish," Birrell said.
Birrell said the nature center staff was still developing instructive programs for kids and interpretive material and data to be displayed with the exhibits.
"My favorite part of the whole nature center is really what we're going to be doing with kids." she said.
Malory Hughes-Pfeifer, 9, was among a group of children who released monarch butterflies as part of the ribbon-cutting ceremony. She said she enjoyed the nature center.
"I think it's really nice and cool because of all the animals," she said.
The nature center features a variety of exhibits designed to educate and entertain people of all ages
about the geographic features around Lawrence.
There are aquariums, reptile displays, woodland, wetland and grassland displays and a hands-on children area where kids can play with animal pelts, bones, snake skins and a European hedgehog.
Lisa Patterson, recreation marketing supervisor, said there were 20 programs planned for the fall.
In addition to the nature center debut, an art dedication was held for a sculpture that was built in accord with the facility.
"Occurrence" is an 18-by-8-foot double-sided copper and bronze relief by artist Jon Havener, professor of design at the University of Kansas.
Havener said he tried to capture the motion and energy that emanates from the virgin
prairie, which has been unblemished by human development. He described the sculpture, which pays homage to the grasslands in Prairie Park, as having a natural architecture.
The $30,000 sculpture was funded by the Percent for Art Program, which dedicates up to 2 percent of capital improvements to public art, said Brigid Murphy, chairwoman of the Prairie Park Art Committee.
The nature center is the 10th Parks and Recreation project to be funded by a 1994 sales tax approved by Douglas County voters, DeVictor said.
Hodges thanked voters for their foresight in passing the sales tax, and DeVictor called it an investment in the future of the city.

Search committee hopes to find dean by the end of June
By Nathan Willis
writer @kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
With the goal of installing a new business school dean by June 30, a search committee met for the first time Friday and began working on the process of recruiting candidates.
This is the third dean search to begin this semester, with searches for fine arts and law deans already underway. Unlike those searches, which resulted from failed searches last spring, this search was triggered by the announcement at the beginning of the semester that current dean Tom Sarowski would retire in June.
Ron Ash, search committee member and professor of human resources in the business school, said Provost David Shulenburger warned the committee that competition with other schools for dean candidates could be fierce.
"He said there are a number of dean jobs open," Ash said. "It will be competitive."
Still, he said he thought the committee was confident that it could find a viable candidate and escape the shadow of the law and fine arts searches, which are both in their second attempts.
"We won't settle for poor candidates," Ash said. "But I'm pretty hopeful at this point that we'll be able to find someone."
Annie McShane, Fairway graduate student in business and search committee member, said she also was confident the committee would find good candidates — largely because it was
getting an early start.
"I think the best thing you can do in a case like this is prepare and plan well," she said. "I feel that the committee is very knowledgeable. Hopefully, we'll have a very cool pool of candidates."
At Friday's meeting, the 13-member committee fine-tuned a description of the position given to them by Shulenburger, said Charles Krider, committee chairman.
"We're looking at how to identify appropriate candidates," he said.
The committee will meet again tomorrow to decide where they want to advertise the position probably in such journals as The Chronicle of Higher Education, Krider said.
From there, the committee hopes applications will start rolling in, Ash said. The committee plans to begin reviewing applications Nov. 15 and probably will invite a select group of candidates to visit campus during the spring semester, he said.
The entire process is something that students in the business school need to pay attention to, McShane said.
"For the business school's undergraduate and graduate students, having a good dean is essential because a good dean knows business and the business community," she said. "Students really need to care because the dean has a huge impact on the success of students in the business school and the success of students in the business community."

many Jews have taken steps to make amends for any wrongs they may have committed against other people.
The Kol Nidre service marks the beginning of Yom Kippur and is a solemn personal and introspective experience.
Jack Winerock, professor of music, and Dawn Mollenkopf, graduate student, led the service. They read scripture passages and traditional passages from a prayer book, alternating between Hebrew and English, and the congregation read several passages aloud together. Mollenkopf served as the cantor for the service, chanting scripture and traditional prayers.
Susan Shafer-Landar, executive director of KU Hillel, estimated thatthe University had 1,500 Jewish students and that the Lawrence community had between 250 and 300 Jewish residents.
"Kol Nide brings students and the community together," she said.
At the close of the service, speakers
including Teri Levi, president of Jewish Student Council and Wichita junior, and David Katzman, professor of American studies, addressed those gathered for the service.
Katzman encouraged the congregation to donate to charity, reminding them of the Jewish community's strong history of philanthropy. He said Jewish philanthropic groups helped people locally and internationally, and he talked about the help Jews from around the world have recently given to Jews in Ethiopia, the former Soviet Union and Kosovo. The Lawrence Jewish Community Center is accepting food donations today for area food pantries.
"You come from many different places, and each see the Jewish part of yourselves uniquely," she said.
Shafer-Landau invited students to participate in KU Hillel, and she encouraged students to build a Jewish community that reflected their needs and interests.

Israel grinds to a halt for high holy day
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM—Some Israelis escaped to the beach for the solemn holiday of Yom Kippur, but most prepared to repair to the trenches of their faith, fasting and praying on the Jewish Day of Atonement.
More than 80 percent of the Jewish residents of this otherwise overwhelmingly secular country revert to tradition on this holiest of Jewish days, attending synagogue and fasting throughout the 25-hour holy day. Yom Kippur starts at sundown Sunday this year and ends at sundown Monday.
Israelis scurried around Jerusalem on Sunday to finish last minute preparations before the country shut down.
Some spoke of the commandment to seek forgiveness for one's sins against God.
“It's a time to think of all the things you've done in the past year,” said Ari Lamet, a student at an Orthodox seminary. “I think about how I have gone away from God's path and how it is time to come back.”
The 10 days between Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, and Yom Kippin are the "Days of Awe"
— are reserved for asking forgiveness from one's fellows for any harmful acts in the previous year. Many Jews call up esterganded friends and family in an effort to repair broken relationships.
In his Yom Kippur eve radio broadcast Chief
Rabbi Yisrael Lau urged Israelis to take that spirit one day further, and then throughout the year.
All around the world, Jews hook to synagogue, and Jews will fascin an effort to repeat for their sips.
In Israel, shops and markets shut down. There are no international flights and many of the borders to Israel are closed. There are no news broadcasts and all Israeli television stations go off the air.
Streets are bare, except for worshipers headed to and from synagogue to fulfill the special commandments of the day: Listening to the haunting melodies of the Kol Nidre service, in which Jews renounce the rash vows they had made through the year; the Al Het ritual, when Jews pound their chests in regret for their sins of omission.
Soldiers remain on alert. The army was sending cantors to lead services at army bases in the self-declared security zone Israel occupies in south Lebanon.
Among the only professionals on the job are paramedics; Israeli kids eye streets empty of traffic as cycling opportunities, and many are known to take a steep hill a little too fast. Each year, the first news broadcast after the holiday is over lists at least 20 bicycle-related injuries.
Most of the country's 20 percent Arab minority remain at home, watching TV broadcast from neighboring Arab lands. Israel shuts down crossings to Palestinian areas.
In his message, broadcast before Israel radio shut down, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak recalled the shock the country suffered when Arab nations launched an attack on Yom Kippur in 1973 — a time Israelis were sure they would be left unmolested. Three thousand Israeli troops died in the subsequent war.
"We still hear the siren that tore through the dead silence of Yom Kippur 1973," he said. He swore that, even with the peace process revived, Israel would always bear in one hand the olive branch in the other, the sword.
Some secular Israelis see Yom Kippur as no different as any other day. People left packed video stores on Sunday morning, arms piled high with videos to last the 25-hour stretch.
Maya Mevuach, a Jerusalem resident, said she will be leaving town on Yom Kippur.
"I'm spending the day at the beach," she said. "I don't connect to Yom Kippur. I don't relate. I would rather forget about it."
Ben and Bethanie Mackler described the holiday as an opportunity to relieve themselves of sin.
"It is a day of introspection," Ben Mackler said. "Many people see it as a sad day but I see it as a happy one because by repenting your sins you can become closer to God. It is a serious day but happy because God makes it easier to repent."

Homecoming needs more support from entire University community
Homecoming at the University of Kansas needs a spark to blaze school spirit and rekindle alumni support for an event intended to warm the hearts of Jayhawks past and present. Homecoming organizers literally have attempted to light that fire — proposing the return of a traditional bonfire — but still need additional support from student, alumni and administration to keep the fire burning.
For a University and community where traditions date back before the Civil War, Homecoming Day regrettely has become a nonchalant affair with a small parade and a football game with a few halftime activities. Moreover, limited student awareness that the Oct. 2 game is even homecoming attests to apathetic school spirit.
Old homecoming traditions are valuable and need support from students and staff
The three groups that organize homecoming - Student Union Activities, Student Alumni Association and Board of Class Officers - have increased efforts this year. But shortened planning time has allowed them only to lay a foundation for the future.
For the second consecutive year, homecoming has been moved up from the last weekend in October. Andrea Troutman, vice president for university relations for SAA, said having homecoming earlier definitely made planning more difficult.
Troutman said administrative backing
of the parade was another area where the University could help by letting students out of class for festivities. Attendance would increase if afternoon classes were canceled for the 2:30 parade on Friday.
Changing student attitudes toward homecoming and attracting more alumni is not an easy job. But it is an important one, and organizers have made a notable start.
If more students enjoy homecoming now, more will return as alumni to celebrate homecoming traditions. If more alumni hold KU traditions dear, the Jayhawk network will be stronger and more alumni likely will be willing to support the University financially. That generosity would benefit the entire University and assure that the wheat will wave forever at KU ballgames.

SAT "strivers"only a first step
For years a problem that has been expressed about the SATs is that they are non personalized. The scores do not reflect experiences from the student's life and background, leading some to say that this crucial test's results are unfair. Added to this mix is a solution developed by the test's designers, the Educational Testing Service, which is quickly becoming known as the "Strivers" score.
The "Strivers" score is designed to help give students from less-than-ideal backgrounds the same chance at being noticed and accepted to good colleges and universities as students from average to privileged backgrounds. ETS looks at different variables of a student's background such as his or her parents' educational level, race and the biggest determining factor, family income.
New designation on college entrance exam good but not a solution to education problems
From this information, a score will be predicted for each individual student. If a student can score 200 points higher than predicted, he or she will be designated as a "striver." This would be for young people who have done better than expected based on where they were coming from, said to Anthony Carnvale, vice president for public leadership at ETS.
This method is optimistically viewed by many individuals. This is a way for hard-working students from improbable success-breeding circumstances to catch up to the students who will have no problem finding a way into a good college. The "striver" designation will be seen as a red flag for the dedication and effort the student has put out to beat the odds.
While this effort is commendable and shows recognition that problems exist in secondary education in the United States, it does not find its way to the roots of those problems. The "striver" designation recognizes the hard-working students from inferior schools and low income families, but this is only a recognition, and not an effort to move forward in creating better learning situations that these students deserve. We need better schools for better test scores. The "strivers" score is one step in the right direction, but higher goals for better education should follow soon in its footsteps.

Two unpleasant things happened to me this week. I managed to wack myself in the head by skillfully standing up into a steel strut, and I turned on my radio to listen to the Lazer.
Perspective
Turn the radio off don't listen to 105.9
Bashing my head against the strut was less painful.
The Lazer was, not too long ago, named by Rolling Stone as one of 10 stations in America that don't suck. Well, no more. I'm here to tell you that the Lazer now sucks more than a vacuum-cleaner salesmen's convention.
Loader columnist opinion@kansan.com
The old Lazer was edgy. It was fresh. It reminded me of KROQ back in Los Angeles (before it became another hit music station) or of KEDG back in Las Vegas (before it became
another hit music station). The Lazer was fun to listen to, and it belonged in a college town. It played the Top 40 before anyone even knew it was going to be Top 40.
Did I say don't listen? My bad. Find out who advertises on the Lazer. Call them, and inform them that their ads have been counterproductive and that you won't be listening to that station any more.
Call the station. Express your dissatisfaction.
Express it in simple terms they can understand. Be polite about it, but make it clear that the new Lazer holds slightly less appeal than doggie doo.
Start petitions. Pass the word. Shout the message from every street corner — the new Lazer sucks. There already has been one demonstration — give 'em another one. Show the new management that KU students know how to throw a good protest rally.
Don't listen to the thing. This shouldn't be too hard for you to manage; there are a whole pile of other Top-40 stations to choose from. And listening to a station that once didn't suck is painful anyway.
Will all this work? Don't get your hopes up, folks. But it might be painful enough to convince the suits that ruining a great radio station is not the best way to turn a profit.
Now it plays crap.
Some of it has been crap from the first minute it was recorded. Others have become crap because they were played again and again and again for the last three years.
They want your money at the expense of your good taste, your culture and your music. Don't let 'em have it. Let the Lazer go down fighting.
It doesn't even play a wide assortment of crap, but the same tired old stuff again and again, ad nausea. If I hear that damn Sepia-Toned Life song one more time, I'm going to take a hostage. It wasn't bad to start with, but the Top-40 stations have been playing it every two hours for the last two years. And now the Lazer is, too. Happy day.
On the bright side, if you haven't gotten your fill of the Backstreet Boys, you probably will
now. Aren't you overjoyed? Doesn't the new format sound like such a wonderful idea?
If you miss the old Lazer — if you want it back — well, you're probably not going to get it back. But you can do your part to try and make the dear corporate folks who have twisted the Lazer see the error of their ways.
Is there anyone on campus who actually prefers the new Lazer? I ask this in the same tone I'd ask, "Is there anyone on campus who would like to be trampled by angry bulls?"

1999. Well into my junior year of college, I had my first moment of academic doubt. After a successful day of shopping (laundry detergent and new socks), I returned home and decided I didn't want to be a journalist
It's not that I have anything against the journalistic profession. Quite the contrary, actually. I know the work and dedication that comes with producing a newspaper. I have the utmost respect for the people who can stand it.
No, I just decided that I don't want to make magazines. I don't want to make newspapers. I don't want to be a journalist. And, most of all, I don't want a career.

In times of mental and emotional conflict, I often resort to driving on deserted dirt roads. I find it greatly soothing. The moments in which my life most closely approaches contentment are moments of road-dust, speed, loud music and landscapes that make me ache.
bit unsettled, understandably so I think. Everything I had worked for the during two years of college, and however many years of high school, suddenly didn't appeal to me in the least. So, with the intent of debating this within myself, I went driving on deserted dirt roads northeast of Lawrence.
It all came down to one simple question. Would I be able to work as a magazine editor in New York City and still retain the qualities that I value? Could I possibly be a slave to a cubicle and a business suit and still keep freedom and autonomy and spontaneity and creativity?
Thus, it was rural roads that I turned to when my desires and philosophies collided head-on with my professional ambitions.
There is a line from a John Lennon song that says, "Life is what happens to you when you are busy making other plans." One day, about a year ago, I got into a debate with an uncle of mine as to
the meaning of this quote.
My uncle maintained that Lennon meant to say that you have to make plans in the course of your existence, or you will never experience life. I disagreed. Lennon's words have always meant the opposite to me. I've always thought that he was trying to say that if you plan your life completely — if you content yourself with a routine — then life will come and go when you're not looking. The next thing you notice, it will all be finished, and all you will have to show for it is an endless string of interchangeable days and lonely nights.
I smile. It's an unsure smile, a shaky smile, yet still hopeful. I turn around and take an unexplored dirt road. I will face the unknown. And I will conquer the unknown. I choose uncertainty.
In one direction runs the career highway — paved, speedy, but fraught with gridlock traffic, construction detours and many other complications. In the other direction lies a dirt road — riddled with danger, too, of course, as any route will be. But instead of blacktop combat, I will battle the dust of hard work, the occasional creative flat tire and the fears of the unknown.
Perhaps it's foolish, perhaps it's selfish, perhaps
it's egotistical. I don't think that life should just
happen to you. You should happen to life.
Do I get on the highway and head back to Lawrence and familiar streets? Or do I turn around and head down dirt roads, back through trees, hills, crickets chipping, the smell of dusk and country, sights I have yet to see and yet to know, sights that may be good or may be bad?
I realized that there was no way that I would be able to balance a journalistic career with my creative drive. I would end up a hollow shell, with my work ethic destroyed by devoting my life to something I didn't feel passionate about.
Taylor is a Witchha junior in journalism and anthropology.
As I drove on dirt roads, I thought about all of these issues. I pondered my future, my past, my supposed plans, my soul. I got myself hopelessly lost and then unexpectedly found several times again.
I came to a place where the unknown dirt road I was on met with a highway I recognized. I stopped, unsure of which course to follow.
Feedback
Timor operation is peace enforcement, not peace keeping
The news media is making a very important error as they report this event [UN involvement in East Timor]. It's a small difference in words with large implications in military application. UN response is being cited as a peacekeeping operation. It is really a peace enforcement operation. Peace keeping is when a neutral party steps between two belligerents wanting to stop fighting with each other.
Peace enforcement is when a neutral party steps between two belligerents, at least one of which wants the fight to continue. The difference in safety

of the neutral party should be apparent. Please share this with your fellow journalists. Professionals need to use the right vocabulary to communicate accurately.
Maybe someone could possibly explain the real point of this article ("Faking It," 9-17-99), as the only thing I was able to derive from it was a point by point way to create an effective fake ID. Well, OK, maybe I was also able to figure out that as long as I could steal the bouncer's girlfriend's ID and
somehow be able to cleverly memorize all of the important information that I could still get in to the bar I was at, even though I would hypothetically be underage and my FAKE ID had just been taken. Did anyone else notice these problems that are so apparent? Articles like this one are pointless. Get a grip. If you are going to invest that much color and bother with all the graphics, please at least make sure that the story adds up. This one did not.

KU graduate looks hurricane in the eye
Former editor experiences fury of Mother Nature
By Todd Halstead
writer kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
Spencer Duncan, former Topean and KU graduate, has weathered floods in Texas and South Dakota, but nothing could have prepared him for the devastation of Hurricane Floyd as it crashed into the Eastern seaboard.
Duncan, a former editor and sports columnist for the University Daily Kansan, arrived in Rocky Mount, N.C., a town of 58,000, on Sept. 5 after driving through torrential rainstorms caused by a foundering Hurricane Dennis.
After arriving in Rocky Mount, about 40 miles from Raleigh, to begin work as a sports writer for the Rocky Mount Telegram, Duncan's new 1999 Ford Taurus fell victim to residual flooding caused by Hurricane Dennis.
He then rented a car last Wednesday, which was submerged by rising flood waters from Hurricane Flovd.
"I paid the extra few dollars for the insurance, but I didn't expect it to get immersed in water," Duncan said. "But it's really not my problem now."
Duncan chose to wait out the hurricane in his second-floor apartment because there had been no warnings to evacuate the area, and he had no place else to go.
"I woke up and looked out my window and saw that it was raining." Duncan said. "I looked out my window a little while later and saw that the water was above cars' tires, and soon it was over the top of the cars."
Duncan said that winds reached up to 70 mph and that flooding reached about 20 inches in a 24-hour time period.
"Basically there was a new river flowing down my apartment complex," Duncan said.
After helping an elderly woman who lived below him gather some valuables, he brought her to the safety of his apartment
Duncan said that the rain stopped before waters reached his apartment and that rescue came on Thursday via a raft that took Duncan and the woman to a fire station where he was left to his own devices.
"I just walked to work and slept there that night with some co-workers, only because the town is on lock down so we had no choice." Duncan said.
Duncan's father. Tuck Duncan. Topeka
Dutcan's father, Yu resident, said that he had stayed in touch with Spencer through phone conversations, e-mail and faxes.
I am very grateful to you.
"We had several phone calls with him in light of the fact that the phone service might go out at any second." Tuck Duncan said. "He learned from his days as editor of the Kansan to stay calm during a time of chaos."
Duncan: Lost two cars to floodwaters
At least three people died in the county. Duncan said.
Most places in Rocky Mount have their power back, but he still can't figure out why his cable is missing a few channels.
Duncan said that President Clinton was planning to come this week and view the damage.
"Today was the most beautiful day, but of course when you drive down the street you see new lakes everywhere," Duncan said on Friday afternoon.
Duncan said he broke the lease with his apartment because of the damage it has suffered and is looking for a new place.
He said that stores were beginning to reopen and that some of the floodwaters had subsided but that there was more rain in the forecast.

Floyd leaves widespread destruction along coast
The Associated Press
TARBORO, N.C.—Rescuers in fleets of helicopters and boats rushed to help people still stranded Saturday by floods from Hurricane Floyd's drenching rainfall. Officials warned that major rivers across eastern North Carolina were still rising.
Hundreds of thousands still had no electricity from North Carolina to Connecticut.
Brown water from the Tar River crept into three blocks of Main Street, where business owners waded or used small boats to check on property that had been dry just 12 hours earlier.
"Nobody knows how bad it is. Nobody expected this," said attorney Tommy Moore, who wore chest waders as he checked on a friend's law office. His own office was dry in Rocky Mount.
A helicopter roared overhead, looking for stranded residents near the riverbank.
copters, and it just makes you sick," Moore said. "You know they're helping people, but it makes you realize how vulnerable we are. It's like a war zone."
At least 45 people died, including 20 in North Carolina, as Floyd churned up the East Coast and thousands of homes and businesses were damaged.
"You hear these heli-
In Pinetops, N.C., authorities on Saturday recovered the bodies of four people whose boat capsized while they were trying to escape floodwaters. The bodies were that of a middle-aged woman, her daughter, and two girls who were between 3 and 5 years old, said fire chief Steve Burress.
In hard-hit North Carolina, high water on Saturday still blocked parts of Interstates 95 and 40, the state's two busiest highways, along with more than 300 other roads. More than 5,600 people spent the night in 69 shelters across eastern North Carolina.
The highway closures have created a logistical nightmare when it comes to supplying food and water to people in shelters and isolated communities. Five shelters are being supplied exclusively by air
three in Edgecombe County and two in Pitt County.
Supermarkets are running out of food and to ensure
people are fed, 30 mobile kitchens have been set up in 16 counties. Fort Bragg provided 50,000 ready-to-eat meals.
State agricultural officials estimated that a million poultry and 100,000 swine had perished. Together with anticipated crop losses, this potentially is the worst agricultural damage that eastern North Carolina has ever faced, state agriculture department spokesman Jim Knight said.
He said agricultural losses could exceed the $872 million benchmark set by Hurricane Fran in 1996.
As Floyd's 15 inches of rain slowly drained away from eastern North Carolina, forecasters warned that more major flooding still lies ahead for the Tar, Neuse and Cape Fear rivers.
While the Tar River crested Saturday in Tarboro at 43 feet — 24 feet above flood stage — the Neuse and Cape Fear rivers weren't expected to crest until Tuesday, also well above flood stage.
"It's going to be bad," said Al Lazo of the National Weather Service in Raleigh.
Nearly 50 helicopters, with more expected from other states, were in the air for rescue missions Saturday in Edgecombe, Nash, Pitt and Duplin counties. In Edgecombe County alone, 3,500 people had been rescued.
Alumnus captures volcano, residents in photo exhibit
By Emily Hughey

Konson staff writer
In September 1997, Smith went to Montserrat to photograph the erupting volcano and the citizens still inhabiting the unsafe zone.
On Montserrat, where there's smoke, there's a volcano. And two years ago, KU graduate and Lawrence photographer, Gary Mark Smith, was there.
Beginning today, an exhibit chronicling the products of Smith's visit to the Caribbean island of Montserrat, "Molten Memoirs: Ignoring the Rational Voice," will be on display at the four floor gallery in the Kansas Union.
Smith also pub'ished a book, titled Molten
Memoirs (paperback, $27.59), of his photos of both humans and nature.
Sue Buckley, Student Union Activities adviser, said the exhibit was not focused on the vol-
cano's eruption, but instead, it depicted the sentiment of the hold-outs who watched the lava overtake their land.
Lisa Eitner, head buyer and supervisor of the Mt. Oread Book Shop in the Union, said she decided to bring Smith and his work to the University of Kansas when Smith visited the book shop to tell her about his book. She said it was a good opportunity for the store to support a local artist.
"It's kind of a human piece with nature erupting all around," she said.
"He is a photographer, a writer and an adventurer," Eitner said. "He's also very articulate. It just seemed like a perfect fit."
Smith will speak about the exhibit, which will continue through Sept. 30, and his experiences from 7 to 9 p.m. on Sept. 30 at Alderson Auditorium in the Union. Also, he will sit in on the exhibit at the gallery to answer questions and talk about his work.

Prank kills fish at Wal-Mart
Angel Flores was disgusted by the dead fish he saw floating in tanks at Wal-Mart last Wednesday — he estimated that there were almost one hundred of them, out of the store's 200 in stock.

"It was kind of gross," said Flores, Lawrence sophomore. "We just thought it was pretty cruel."
Flores said he was further disgusted when a promise from a manager to clean the dead fish out of the tank had not been fulfilled several hours later when he and his wife returned to the store to check on the conditions.
"They just basically didn't care," he said of the employees who worked at the store, located at 3300 Iowa St.
Brad Ellis, Wal-Mart pet department manager, said that Flores had witnessed one of the worst
fish pranks played on the pet department: an unidentified substance that left a soapy smell and residue had been poured into the 18 warm-water tanks, killing more than 800 fish in five days.
Ellis estimated a loss between $3,000 and $4,000.
"It was kind of a bad week," he said. "Normally we've never had any complaints."
Ellis said all of the fish in the warm-water tanks, those located down the pail isate at the store, were dead by Thursday.
However, Flores and his wife said their complaints last Wednesday also referred to several dead cold-water fish located at the end of the aisle.
On Thursday evening, 11 of the 61 fish in the cold-water tanks — those Ellis said were not affected by the prank — were dead.
Yesterday afternoon, three of the 25 fish in stock were dead.
Other fish stores in the area, including Jawhawk Tropical Fish, 846 Illinois St., Scales &
Tales Exotic Pets, 2201 W. 25th St., and Petco Supplies and Fish, 3115 Iowa St., had no dead fish in their tanks yesterday afternoon.
Chris Weber, Petco employee and Lawrence sophomore, said he had heard a few of his customers complain about Wal-Mart fish. He said he would never purchase fish there.
"It's a general retail store, so they don't have enough time for their fish," he said.
Scales and Tales employee Tim Defrees said he purchased fish at Wal-Mart and would do so again if no other pet store in town had the type of fish he needed, such as female guppies.
However, he said he had been discouraged from buying fish at Wal-Mart because of the dead fish he had seen in the tanks there several times.
Katie Jennings, employee at Jayhawk Tropical Fish, said dead fish increase the water's ammonia level, which could lead to diseases in the living fish in the
same tank.
Ellis said that aside from last week's water poisoning, there was no problem with Wal-Mart fish.
"We take super-good care of our fish," he said. "But fish die. There's nothing you can do about it. But we keep ours pretty good. I don't like to see dead fish in our tanks."
Ellis said the store had been understaffed, preventing employees from paying adequate attention to the fish.
"We also run a whole store," he said, explaining that the fish were not the only items employees must attend to.
Flores said he would make sure he never walked past Wal-Mart fish tanks with his three-year-old daughter, so she would not have to see dead fish floating in the water.
"I think she might be pretty upset," he said. "We don't have any pets ourselves, but we don't like to see animals neglected."
CAPS help students with disorder
-Edited by Jennifer Roush
Some students can raise grades with assistance
By Amber Stuever
writer @kanson.com
Kansan staff writer
Although many people associate Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder with rambunctious and unfocused children, the estimated 1,500 University of Kansas students who suffer from the disorder know different.
About 5 to 7 percent of college students suffer from ADHD, a problem just recently recognized as an adult disability. Studies show that those students are four to five times more
likely to drop out of college than students without the disorder.
"It's not just that they have these problems, but how they feel about themselves."
Myra Strother Watkins physician
Watkins Memorial Health Center will attempt to reach out to those students in the second lecture of its "Focus on Health" series at 7 p.m. tomorrow. The lecture, "Difficulty Focusing?" will be at the KU Visitor Center and will feature Pam Botts, associate director of Counseling and Psychological Services, Lorna Zimmer, director of Services for Students with Disabilities. Also featured will be Myra Strother, health physician at Watkins, and Karen Ohnesorge, support services coordinator at Services for Students with Disabilities. Botts and Zimmer will give tips to students who have general problems focusing and
address testing, diagnosis management and resources for ADHD sufferers.
"KU can offer students with ADHD a whole-person approach that includes medical management, lifestyle adjustment, academic advice and tutoring services," said Ohnesorge. "Students just have to seek that assistance."
EVERYTHING BUT ICE
Students with ADHD suffer from symptoms such as
hyperactivity, inattention,
mood swings, temper and
disorganization. Because
of these symptoms, they
may also be frustrated,
have low self-esteem and
feel defeated.
"It's not just that they have these problems, but how they feel about themselves." Strother said.
Many students with these symptoms suffer from ADHD but were never diagnosed as children. But Strother said attention difficulties that always existed may not be exposed until college when long lecture classes and readings become problematic.
Strother said she had seen students who had been on academic probation raise their grade point averages from a 3.0 to 4.0 after they had received assistance.
"They'll say to me, 'I always knew I was smart,'" Strother said.
If students think they may have a problem, they should be referred to CAPS for an assessment. The assessment takes six to eight weeks and includes interviewing, questionnaires completed by others, psychological testing and a review of school records.
Students who are diagnosed or who simply want help focusing can seek help through CAPS, Watkins, Services for Students with Disabilities and Supportive Educational Services. These offices offer assistance such as individual and group counseling, medication, consultation with family members and assistance in arranging for academic accommodations.

Stores watch for shoplifters
By Jessie Meyer Special to the Kansan
Lawrence shoplifting rates are on the rise with the beginning of the school year and the return of college students, and area stores are cracking down on thieves.
"We see a very significant increase when school starts," said Troy Mullenbach, assistant protection manager at SuperTarget.
A coincidence? Sgt. George Wheeler, Lawrence Police Department representative, doesn't think so.
"Historically, theft and shoplifting has risen around this time when students come back," Wheeler said. "We are dispatched several times a dav now."
Because so many new cases are filed every day, Wheeler only could estimate the number of theft-related prosecutions per week. With school back in session, there are about twice as many calls per week compared to the summer, Wheeler said. But he said he did not have exact numbers of calls during the summer or school year.
Police and security officers do not
blame the rising number of thefts on all college students, nor is it only college students who steal. But Mullenbach said that since college students had lower incomes and just as many, if not more, wants, some tended to take whatever they couldn't afford.
Because of peer pressure and lower incomes, groups of young adults are near the top of the suspicious-shoppers list. Security personnel at SuperTarget also are on the lookout for unusual behavior and guests wearing clothing that conceals, Mullenbach said. There are other things that the security team looks for, but he refused to divulge them because of security reasons.
SuperTarget, like most discount department stores in Lawrence, has a complex security system. There are plain-clothed security officers, who look just like ordinary shoppers, roaming the store, and video cameras across the ceiling that tape and monitor what the personnel may miss. Electrical Article Surveillance devices monitor the front doors and detect active radio frequency tags on high
dollar items that pass through the doors. Mullenbach said.
Wal-Mart has taken extra precautions by installing cameras on the roof of the building to survey the parking lot. Wheeler said, Wal-Mart also had cameras along the ceiling and personnel on the sales floor. Neither Wal-Mart nor Kmart officials would comment because of corporate policies.
Thieves are set apart from shopper when they show what Wheeler called intent to steal.
If the merchandise is valued at more than $500, the suspect is charged with a felony and taken to jail immediately. Wheeler said.
Once caught on videotape, suspects have little room to argue. The minimum penalty is $25 and is based on the suspect's history and the value of the merchandise, said Beth Viscosky, the municipal court manager.
SuperTarget has a specific penalty that bans 95 to 98 percent of prosecuted shoplifters from the store. The suspects can be charged with trespassing if they attempt to reenter.

Students volunteer as local mentors
By Sara Shepherd
Special to the Kansan
Todd Aschenbach has found an easy way to volunteer. He signed up to be a pal — and now he's a mentor.
"It's simple. It's easy. And you can feel good about it," said Aschenbach, graduate student in ecology.
Last year, Aschenbach volunteered with Campus Pals, a program that gives children who are waiting for a buddy with the Lawrence Big Brothers, Big Sisters program a chance to temporarily be paired up with a KU student.
primarily a campus organization.
Melissa Howard, First Mentors case worker, said she hoped joining forces with CCO would help recruit student volunteers because it was
After a change in national sponsors this year, the program was renamed First Mentors. In addition to sporting a new title, First Mentors now is a joint effort among Big Brothers, Big Sisters and the KU Center for Community Outreach.
primarily a campus organization. CCO envisions First Mentors as a stepping stone to the Big Brothers, Big Sisters program for both children and student volunteers, said Mel Henning, First Mentors coordinator.
First Mentors will try to match as many as 20 children on the Big Brothers, Big Sisters waiting list with a KU student and a varsity athlete. Howard said. The pairs will attend several events throughout the semester, including a football game and a women's basketball game.
Henning said it was important for the mentors to commit to all three events so the child could be with the same volunteer each time.
Howard said First Mentors not only provided role models, but it also gave the kids a peek into the college experience.
"It just makes them feel that somebody cares about them and wants to see them succeed." Howard said.
In addition to the experience of
helping children, Aschenbach said participation in the program looked good on a resume, and volunteers got free food and admission to the three events.
Because he does not stay in town all year, Aschenbach said he would not have been able to commit to the 12-month Big Brothers, Big Sisters program. But, he said, First Mentors offer the same type of program with more flexibility and a smaller time commitment.
First Mentors is in the process of planning events and finding student volunteers for the program this semester. Students interested in volunteering can call CCO at 864-4073. The application deadline is Sept. 29.
The program will begin Saturday with children attending Camp Jayhawk at Anschutz Sports Pavilion where they will meet student athletes and participate in activities.

Senator to subpoena records on release of 16 prisoners
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—Seeking the reasons why President Clinton offered clemency to 16 Puerto Rican nationalists, Republicans plan to start using legislative tools this week hoping to pry loose secret administration documents.
Republican presidential hopeful Orrin Hatch, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said on Fox News Sunday that he already had the answer: Clinton issued the order with the intent to help his wife's Senate bid in New York.
Democrats countered that Clinton is too savvy a campaigner to take such a political action purely to help Hillary Rodham Clinton in a state with 1.3 million Puerto Ricans.
The first lady, who is considering a Senate run next year, opposed the deal after it began to draw criticism from law enforcement officials and others; she then was criticized by
some prominent New York Puerto Ricans.
Clinton has said the political ramifications for the first lady played absolutely no role in his decision and
that Mrs. Clinton was not aware of his offer until one of her aides asked her to comment on it.
The president offered clemency last month to some imprisoned Armed Forces of National Liberation members if they

Hatch: Said elem-

cally motivated.
would renounce violence and agree to other conditions. The president said he acted in response to human rights officials who argued the prisons sentences, ranging from 15 years to 90
years, were too harsh. All but two members accepted the deal. None of those offered clemency was involved in incidents in which people died.
On Capitol Hill, Republicans contend the offer was politically motivated and are beginning a new round of investigations into the administration. The White House and Justice Department, citing executive privilege, have rejected GOP requests for documents and testimony related to the clemency offer.
Hatch's committee plans to issue subpoenas Thursday for such material.
On the House side, the Government Reform Committee is scheduled to hear Tuesday from victims of the bombings along with officials from the FBI, the Justice Department and the Bureau of Prisons.
Earlier this month, a non-binding resolution condemning Clinton for the offer passed the House by a vote of 311-41.
Cabinet discusses Year 2000 glitches
Some businesses still not prepared for date rollover
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON— President Clinton's Cabinet met Saturday with the administration's top expert on the Year 2000 technology problem to discuss how government agencies will respond to possible Year 2000-related computer failures.
Also attending the closed-door meeting near the White House were leaders from some federal regulatory agencies, such as the Federal Reserve Board and Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
It was the first time the Cabinet assembled for the sole purpose of discussing the Year 2000 glitch.
"The sense in the room was that certainly there is work left to do, but government has made some real strides in the past year," said John Koskinen, Clinton's top Year 2000 adviser. "We're going to be in reasonably good shape."
The government has expressed increasing confidence there will be no nationwide failures of the most important computer systems. But it has acknowledged the likelihood of localized failures in parts of the United States; even more severe problems are anticipated overseas.
The Cabinet also discussed possible failures outlined in the most recent report from Koskinen's Year 2000 council, which indicated that some small health agencies, schools and many small businesses are inadequately prepared for the date rollover.
Koskinen said the Cabinet reviewed how individual agencies responded to emergencies, and the implications on other areas of the government. Koskinen is organizing a government-wide coordination center near the White House to share with other agencies information about any Year 2000 failures during the New Year's weekend.
"The are certainly some areas of concern," Koskinen said. "We touched upon all those issues."
The Year 2000 problem exists because many older computers and software programs recognize only the last two digits of the year, meaning they might mistakenly interpret "00" as 1900.
About half the Cabinet secretaries attended, including Attorney General Janet Reno, Donna Shalala from Health and Human Services, Commerce Secretary Bill Daley, Rodney Slater of the Transportation Department and Energy Secretary Bill Richardson.

Taiwan's president sticks to demand for political respect
By Christopher Bodeen The Associated Press
TAIPEI, Taiwan—Taiwan's leader ranked Beijing and made Washington squirm by saying his government should be able to deal with China as a political equal. Although he's facing tremendous pressure to take back the statement, he'll probably stick to it.
President Lee Teng-hui relishes a good spat with China and has too much to lose by ditching his new claim that Taiwan is a sovereign state, not a local government that should be controlled by Beijing.
Taiwan has long been one of Beijing's
biggest frustrations. Since 1949, the island 90 miles off China's eastern coast has resisted Communist rule. Beijing wants both sides to reunify now, but Taiwan wants to wait until China is more democratic and economically developed.
Two months ago, when Lee said the two sides should handle their affairs on a special state-to-state basis, China thought it was part of a secret plan by the Taiwanese leader to break away permanently from the mainland—a move Beijing has repeatedly threatened to use force to block.
Trying to get Lee to scrap his claim, China has used fiery rhetoric and has staged massive mock invasions of the island with warplanes, ships and thousands of troops. Adding to the pressure, Taiwan's biggestly, the United States, has blamed Lee for needlessly stirring up trouble.
But chances are slim Lee will cave in to the pressure. With seven months left in his term, he seems to be focused on his historical legacy. Already, he's guaranteed a long chapter in Taiwan's history books for presiding over numerous reforms, including the first direct presidential election in 1996, which he won handsily.
Now, his position on sovereignty could carve out his final legacy as guardian of Taiwan's sovereignty.
Polls say Lee's statement has been
Analysis
immensely popular with Taiwan's 22 million people, who view it as a long overdue description of fact. Backing away from his policy would make Lee look like he's turning his back on reality.
Buckling to Chinese pressure would also likely create a fierce backlash for Lee's ruling Nationalist Party in the run-up to March presidential elections.
The party's candidate, Vice President Lien Chan, is trailing in the polls and has been criticized as falling to show leadership on China issues. Backing down could cause an exodus
of voters to other parties willing to take a bolder stand and it would also bolster the minority view that Lee acted rashly.
And, if past elections are any guide, the Chinese threats should help the party. When China tested missiles near Taiwan during the 1996 presidential election, many voters supported the Nationalists, viewing them as best able to protect the island.
China might decide to keep up the pressure while waiting until after the March elections to reassess the situation. If that happens, Lee may succeed in raising a fuss without bringing serious consequences to Taiwan.

The Jayhawks got left behind as the Buffs romped, 51-17
By Mike Miller
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
BOULDER, Colo. — It wasn't just a buffalo stampede, it was a freight train.
Kansas' 51-17 defeat was an exhibition in stagnant offense and a defensive frustration that left the Jayhawks shaking their heads and trying to understand how they could lose their conference opener by 34 points.
"We got railroaded," Coach Terry Allen said.
Ty Gregorick, Colorado inside linebacker, lets out a celebratory yell after tackling David Winbush, junior running back, who is at the
And when the train comes, it's usually the defense that stands in the way and tries to stop it. But this time, the defense held their ground — to a point
— and hoped the offense could track the other direction
tracks the other direction.
But they missed the train.
"The Colorado defense kicked the Kansas offense," Allen said. "They came after us, got after us, and we couldn't do anything. We were totally manhandled."
"Apparently this,was a game that we weren't supposed to win."
Turnovers, missed opportunities and bad luck can make it hard to win a game. Kansas fumbled three times and it only scored twice in four opportunities when the Jayhawks had the ball deep in Colorado territory. Throw in an offense that had trouble moving the ball in any situation and things went from bad to blowout.

Five turnovers, mistakes doom Jayhawks in loss
By Michael Rigg
Kansan sportswriter
BOULDER, Colo. — For the Kansas football team lately, costly mistakes have become as much a part of Jayhawk tradition as the Rock Chalk Chant.
In 1998, key turnovers plagued the Jayhawks, as Kansas committed second-half turnovers in four of its seven defeats. In their season opener against Notre Dame, the Jayhawks committed four turnovers and the Irish gained 62 yards on Kansas penalties as Kansas fell behind 20-0 and eventually was defeated 48-13.
Saturday's 51-17 loss to Colorado was no different. Against the Buffaloes,
Kansas committed five turnovers and trailed 27-0 before the Jayhawks could even muster a score.
After the game, Kansas quarterback Zac Wegner pondered what could have been.
"Obviously, we weren't expecting the same team as last year," said Wegner of last season's 33-17 victory. "We just made our mistakes today, and they came back to haunt us The turnovers and penalties killed us. I really don't know what else to say."
The Jayhawks set the tone early. After Colorado quarterback Mike Moschetti led the Buffaloes on a 72-yard scoring drive that included a personal foul call against Kansas that gave Colorado an automatic first down inside Kansas' five-yard line, Kansas running back David Winbush fumbled on the Jayhawks' first play from scrimmage. After the fumble led to another Buffaloes touchdown, Wegner missed a wide-open Harrison Hill in the flat on third down which led to a blocked Joev Pellonio punt.
On the next drive, it was the Kansas special teams' turn to err, as the Jayhawks were completely baffled by a fake Colorado punt. Although the Kansas defense held and forced the Buffaloes to punt on the next series, the change in possession only led to a Colorado interception and another Buffaloes touchdown.
Also in the second quarter, a fourth-down pass from Jayhawks quarterback Dylen Smith that was intended for Winbush hit umpire Joe
Darden in the back and fell incomplete for another turnover. For Smith, the deflection off Darden's back was simply another mishap in a day that began with so much hope.
"This was definitely a game I thought we could win," Smith said. "We just made a lot of mistakes. Without those turnovers, we're still in the game."
Kansas found itself still in the game with 2:03 left in the third quarter. After Colorado committed its share of mistakes that allowed the Jayhawks to make it an intriguing 33-17, Jayhawk running back Henri Childs fumbled on first down and Smith underthrew wideout Anton Paige on third down. The errors led to another Kansas punt, another Buffaloes touchdown, and Kansas never threatened again.
"We had bad situations that hurt us all day," Winbush said. "On three straight drives, I had a fumble, then I got hit hard by the cornerback on a route in the flat, then on fourth down the referee got in the way of a pass."
For Winbush, who left the game early because of an ankle sprain, the entire game was a miserable experience.

Volleyball team sets records at Tennessee tournament
Bv Shawn Hutchinson
Kansan sportswriter
Perhaps the Kansas volleyball team would be best served to play all its matches on the road from now on.
The Jayhawks continued their dominance away from the Horejsi Family Athletics Center this weekend by winning the Tennessee Lady Vol Classic in Knoxville. The Jayhawks swept Leighish (Pa.), then won five games against both Eastern Michigan and Tennessee improving to 9-2 overall and 6-0 on the road.
0 on the road.
Kansas senior outside hitter Mary Beth Albrecht was named the most valuable player of the tournament, while teammate Amy Myatt, a junior outside hitter, joined her on
the all-tournament team.
The Jayhawks began the tournament on Friday by defeating Lehigh, 15.5, 15-6 and 15-2. Myatt led Kansas with
named to nine consecutive all-tournament teams, failed to make the team.
Kansas senior middle-blocker Amanda Reves, who entered the weekend having been

10 kills, Reves chipped in with five kills, and sophomore setter Molly LaMere had 26 assists.
"We had a hard time creating tempo in the first game," Kansas coach Ray Beachard said. "They were playing a little slower pace than we're used to. Once we got it going at our pace,
we played a very clean, business-like match."
we played a very clean, business-like match. On Saturday, the Jayhawks were all business in disposing of the Eastern Michigan Hawks, 15-4, 10-15, 12-15, 15-4 and 16-14.
The Jayhawks jumped out early in the match, then held off the Eagles for two hours and 10 minutes before gaining the victory. Eastern Michigan entered the tournament with a 6-1 record, and its only loss had been in a five-game match at home to Indiana State.
Albrecht and Myatt led the Jayhawks with 17 kills apice, while junior outside hitter Danielle Geronomy recorded 16 kills. Albrecht also posted a career-high 22 digs in the match.
Later in the day, the Jayhawks fought back from numerous deficits to outlast tournament host Tennessee, 16-14, 2-15, 15-10, 12-15 and 15-7.
Kansas set a new school record for a five-
game match with 96 kills. Revised tie a career-
high with 24, Myatt had 19, and Albrecht and Geronymo had 18 apiece. LaMere led the Jayhawks with 77 assists in the match, which was also a new Kansas five-game record.
"It was a war," Bechard said. "Against Tennessee, we beat a very quality team in a very big match, and that's what we wanted to get out of the preconference schedule. This will help prepare us for the upcoming Big 12 schedule."
Edited by Katrina Hull
That schedule begins at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, when the Texas Longhorns come to Lawrence to play the Jayhawks at the Horeisi Center.
The Longhorns had been undefeated and ranked No. 8 in the nation before losing twice to No.2 Penn State this weekend.
Commentary
Losing isn't original;let's win reliably
As Kansas was on its way to a 51-17 defeat against Colorado on Saturday, I turned to my friend and asked why the Colorado band kept playing "I've Been Working on the railroad." It was then that I realized that it was the Buffaloes' fight song.
Obviously, the author of the song didn't take the advice of one of the schools' sponsors seriously. You know the sponsor's motto: "Be original, drink Coors."
Original was also what the Jayhawks' play on Saturday wasn't.
Also, the Jayhawks let the other team, in this case Colorado, score a bunch of points before they decided to score. And many of those points were caused by penalties and turnovers. Hey, we've seen that before, too.
For example, in the first quarter, David Winbach fumbled. Sure, Winbach is a tough player — he bounced back after a helmet-to-helmet collision with Colorado's Damon Wheeler — and he plays hard, but we've seen him do that before.
The final piece of evidence is the score. There have been a lot of scores like that unfortunately most have Kansas on the wrong end.
Bernard M. Nugent
But other teams in the Big 12 Conference, most of them successful, lack originality as well
That's not original. John Elway would not be proud.

Fickett

Colorado's philosophy on Saturday was
The Buffs' unoriginal game plan comes as no surprise. Colorado coach Gary Barnett coached in the Big Ten, where teams like Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State and, yes, Northwestern have used a strong running game and bulky offensive line to wear down the opposing defense and set up the deep ball.
In the Big 12, the option is the bread-and-butter formation of choice. Nebraska hasn't strayed from its game plan in generations, and Oklahoma is running the option like it has done in years past.
to run the ball, wait for its offensive line to overpower Kansas' defense, and, after that defense was worn out from chasing Colorado rushers, throw the ball.
Kansas used Winbush to wear down Colorado's defense last year, and it worked wonders. But after Kansas shocked Colorado 33-17 in that game, the Buffers knew what was coming for Saturday's rematch.
Sometimes there's no one in the backfield; sometimes three backs line up. There could be six wide receivers, or four, or none. Who knows? I was watching old Kansas football games where it ran the single wing. Why not bring it back?
But Kansas' offensive schemes are schizophrenic.
And Kansas had nothing to counter with. Winbush finished with 12 yards rushing in 11 carries. Kansas' point total barely beat him.
It appeared that Terry Allen's coaches had phoned in Kansas' choice of play to the Colorado defense. Winbush even said that all 11 sets of eyes of the Colorado defense were fixed on his No. 22 jersey before each Kansas play.
But what could Kansas do? A team needs to set up the run so that the defense will respect the pass, right?
Dylan Smith is an extremely versatile quarterback with athletic ability that previously only has been seen in Kansas' basketball players. Why not let him run the ball with an option to keep it, which he can, or pitch it to a less-guarded Winbush, who we know can run through a hole, or pass the ball on the run to an open receiver, which Smith has done very well?
The answer to that question has already been mentioned. Run the option.
Even though it's an unoriginal solution to Kansas' unoriginality, it sure beats the single wing.

HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 7.
A friend of yours needs help, and you're just the one to provide it. If the help that's needed is financial, take care. Lending a hand isn't the same as giving a handout. Help your friend find a job. It's more empowering.
Taurus (April 20-May 20; Today is a 7.
An authority figure might seem to have it in far for you, but you're just not going along with what this person wants. This person wants to be obeyed! You may think the request is ridiculous, but try not to giggle, OK?
Gemini (May 21-June 21: Today is an 8.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) today is an 8.
Every cloud has a silver lining, and you've popped through to the pay dirt again. Something you've studied has finally clicked into place, and you've gone from wondering to knowing. If you haven't quite yet, you will soon.
Cancer (June 22-July 22;Today is a 7.
Use skills you've learned recently. Also, try something that you've heard might work. This could be a new investment technique or a way to save money on groceries. The basic idea is the same: Get more for less.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):Today is a 5.
Today, the money comes from a partnership or legal matter. If there's somebody out there who's done you wrong, better call your attorney right now. No need to get upset about it. Sometimes a friendly letter on the right letterhead is all it takes.
Virao (Aua. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 7.
Today, it may take you a while to get interested in working, but don't worry about that too much. Once you get up to speed, you'll be your usual super-efficient self. A new idea you come up with could even be quite profitable.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23);Today is an 8.
You should click right along today. Not only are you full of good ideas, but you're getting even more from a friend who's brilliant. The two of you encourage each other's creativity, and today, you could put on an awesome show. Try not to spend more than you have on it, though.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov 21): Today is a 6.
Saaittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 7.
There could be a conflict today. Work demands are interfering with what you'd rather be doing at home. If you're on a flexible schedule, maybe you could request some time off. The first half of this week would be perfect.
Sell early and buy late. That should be your motto today. Make sure you're one of the first to get your product out there. You might also try something that you failed at before. It's not failure if you don't give up. It's practice.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19); today is an 8.
Today, the money comes in, or at least the opportunity to make some. You could sign a deal that makes your pocketbook pleasantly plump, and perhaps for not much more work than you're doing already. Your reputation precedes you.
Aaarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):Today is a 7.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20: Today is a 6.
Tour luck changes for the better. Besides that, you could get pleasant news from far away. A friend could say something so funny that you roll on the floor laughing. But try not to get home late. Something or somebody needs your attention.
Hold your cards close today. Don't let everybody know what's in your hand. One person is practica ly peeking over your shoulder. The surprise will come from another quarter. Your plan may not even work, but your friend's might. Communicate.

"My corner said keep attacking. I knew it was close. I put more pressure on him," said Trinidad, who landed several hard rights to De La Hoya's head in the final three rounds.
De La Haya's backpedaling back-fired in a big way, however, and fighting to the final bell paid off for Trinidad, who won a major decision Saturday night in the wetterweight showdown at Mandalay Bay.

McGwire smacks pair of homers, closes on Sosa
ST. LOUIS — Mark McGwire hit his 57th and 58th home runs in consecu- atbats Sunday, pulling three behind major league leader Sammy Sosa.
After striking out in the first,
McGwire hit a 1-2 fastball from
Houston Astros right-hander Chris Holt
in the fourth, a two-run shot that put
the St. Louis Cardinals ahead 2-1.
McGwire cleared the bullpen in left center on Hoit's first pitch of the sixth, a drive estimated at 423 feet that again gave the Cardinals the lead at 3-2.
PARKS
McGwire: Has three home runs in last three games.
McGwire has three homers in three games, including a grand slam on Friday night, and 515 for his career. This was his ninth multi-homer game of the season and the 62nd of his career, tying him Hank Aaron for third on the career list.
On Saturday, Sosa became the first player to hit 60 homers in consecutive seasons.
GYMNASTICS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The top three finishers in Saturday's World Team Trials round out the six-member U.S. women's gymnastics team that will compete in China next month in the world championships.
Elise Ray, Jeanette Antolin and Alyssa Beckerman will join three other gymnasts who petitioned directly onto the world team. The alternate for the Oct. 9-16 competition in Tianjin, China, is Jamie Dantzscher.

Happ, chris, is a 19th Danitzscher.
Beckman, who fell on the beam
and scored a 8.825, barely held off
Dantzscher. Beckman posted an
all-around score of 74.737, and
Dantzscher had a 74.724.
Jennie Thompson became the third woman to petition directly onto the world team. Thompson was suffering from an upper-respiratory infection and skipped the finals Saturday. She joined fellow petitioners Kristen Maloney and Vanessa Atler on the sidelines.
Sosa reaches 61; Cubs to play Cardinals
The Associated Press
The style is all his. And now he has a record all to himself as well — the first man to reach 60 homers twice.
CHICAGO — Sammy Sosa has used his home run hop 61 times so far, bouncing out of the batter's box, following the flight of another ball as it sails over a fence and then stutter-stepping his way around the bases.
"I'm sure he's not done for the year," Milwaukee pitcher Jason Bere said Saturday after surrendering No. 60.
And Bere was prophetic. Sosa came back yesterday and hit a prodigious home run in his
first at-bat for No. 61 off Hideo Nomo.
On the heels of his 66-homer season a year ago when he lost to Mark McGwire by four in baseball's epic home run derby, Sosa hasn't let up.
And now with 13 games left after yesterday, he has a slim chance of matching McGwire's 70. McGwire did his part yesterday, hitting two against Houston to reach No. 58.
"We knew he'd strike out a lot, but he had such potential," said Jim Lefebvre, who was Sosa's first Cubs manager in 1982 and is now managing the Brewers the rest of the season.
"He's one of the real treasures we have in the game now. People ask me if I saw greatness in Sammy. I saw a five-tool guy with three outstanding traits — a great body type, he is absolutely fearless, and he wanted to be great. He worked hard at it. But to think he'd hit 60 — and twice — I couldn't have predicted that."
Beginning today, Sosa and McGwire will go head-to-head in the first of six meetings between the Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals in the final two weeks.
Cubs manager Jim Riggleman said his team will pitch to McGwire and expects that the Cardinals will do the same with Sosa.
Who could have? When Sosa reached 60,
he ended a seven-game homerless streak.
Sosa: Became only player to hit 60 home runs twice.

Chiefs victorious against Broncos, embarrass Carter
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The deeper Denver goes into the post-John Elway Era, the further it gets from Superbowl chances.
Converting points off a Terrell Davis fumble and two turnovers by Elway's rookie replacement, the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Broncos 26-10 yesterday and dropped the two-time defending Super Bowl champions to 0-2.
Brian Griese completed 11 of 16 passes for 107 yards with one interception and one fumble, before being replaced by Bubby Brister with 9:17
left in the game. Brister didn't fare any better, throwing an interception that led to Pete Stoyanovich's fourth goal field, of 27-yards with 214 left.
Perhaps most embarrassed was Dale Carter, Kansas City's former Pro Bowl cornerback who had signed a free-agent contract with the Broncos.
Carter got beat twice on dee, patterns by Derrick Alexander, who totaled 117 yards on six catches. He also nullified a 15-yard sack of Elvis Grbac when he was called for illegal contact on the Chiefs' last touchdown drive.
Kimble Anders, who injured his ankle late in the fourth quarter, carried 22 times for a career-high 142
CHIEFS
yards at Cincinnati his first
victory as a head coach.
The Broncos cut the lead to 16-10 on the first play of the fourth on Davis' 1-yard leap following a Kansas City turnover deep in its own territory.
After a scoreless first quarter, Jason Elam put the Broncos on top 30 with a 50-yard field goal early in the second quarter.
Then Griese, who did not throw an interception in Denver's 38-21 loss to Miami last Monday night, was picked off by safety Jerome Woods on the Chiefs 43. A few minutes later, Stoyanovich made it 3-3 with a 19-yarder.
But then Grbac, who had appeared to be injured in the previous series, moved the Chiefs 66 yards on 9 plays, aided by Carter's penalty and capped
Alexander, who also made more than 100 yards in the opener in Chicago, beat Carter for 30 yards on the drive.

Career centers provide guidance
By Erin McHugh Special to the Kansan
When students approach graduation, they scramble to find internships and jobs in their fields of interest. The University has many programs available to aid students in their career planning.
"We help students explore all opportunities so they can find meaningful employment," said Gail Rooney, director of University Career and Employment Services.
Rooney said the program was split into four separate divisions, with each division providing both general and specialized services. University Career and Employment Services serves students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the School of
Education, the School of Fine Arts and the School of Social Welfare.
The School of Engineering's Career Services Center, the School of Journalism's Career Center and the School of Business' Career Services Center serve students in those specific schools.
General services offered at each center include job search resources and a career library, career counseling, job listings, salary information, workshops, company information and on-campus recruiting.
Along with general services, University Career and Employment Services offers videotaped mock interviews, part-time student employment opportunities, internship opportunities, credential files and Internet access.
The School of Engineering's cen
ter assists engineering students through on-campus recruiting, resume writing assistance, internship help and the Engineering and Computer Science Career Fair, which will be held Sept. 28 in the Kansas Union. Students will have the opportunity to network with more than 100 corporate recruiters from a variety of industries.
The School of Journalism's center provides internships, contacts and job leads across the country and also maintains a database of paid and credit internships.
Jayhawk Journalists, a network of KU Journalism alumni, connects students with potential employers through on-campus visits, guest speakers, informational interviews and site visits.
"Networking is the key," said
Patty Noland, career development coordinator for the center. "It can open so many doors for students."
The School of Business' center offers a corporate library with information on more than 450 companies, on-campus interviewing, resume workshops, interview workshops and the Business Career Fair, which will be held from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Ballroom in the Kansas Union.
Trudy Lutz, office manager for the center, said about 800 students and 110 companies are expected to attend this year's Business Career Fair.
"Some recruiters can leave with up to 150 resumes from interested students," Lutz said.

Develop an interview strategy. Think about what strengths you want to emphasize, what disadvantages you want to minimize and what you need to know about the job and the organization.
INTERVIEWING TIPS
Research the company and refer to specific brochures, journals or contacts.
- Wear appropriate clothing. A business suit is always a good bet. Take care of details — make sure shoes are shined, pantyhose don't have runs, etc.
- Practice. Put on the clothes you plan to wear and rehearse entering the room, shaking hands, sitting down and answering questions. Ask a friend to interview you.
- Bring extra copies of your resume and names, addresses and phone numbers of your references.
During or immediately after the interview, write down the name of the interviewer, what the intervie
seemed to like about you, any negative points, answers to your questions and when you can expect to hear from the company. This is especially useful if you are interviewing at many organizations.
Answer positively and confidently.
Ask specific questions based on knowledge of the industry and company. Personalize your questions: "What would my duties be?"
Answer positively after community.
Be your best self at the interview. Sit up straight. Don't mumble. Look at people when you talk. Be aware that many people respond negatively to smoking.
Close with an assertive statement.
You could say: "This job seems to be a good match between what you're looking for, and that I'd like to do."

Successful Interviewing
Some questions are unlawful in employment interviews

Kansan staff writer
A job interview is stressful enough.
But if students are asked about their race, marriage plans or sexual preference in the interview, there's an easy reply. "I'm sorry. I don't have to answer that question."
Gail Rooney, director of Career and Employment Services, said that questions pertaining to an applicant's personal life were strictly off limits for interviewers. Queries about race and other personal matters could lead to charges of discrimination.
"You can't ask women if they have plans for having children or a family," Rooney said. "The appropriate questions are those that are directly work-related."
Rooney said an applicant had
a right to refuse answering a question.
"Of course, if you choose not to answer, you risk losing your chances of the position," she said.
Rooney said that the applicant could redirect the interview if asked an illegal question.
For example, a person who was being interviewed could answer a question about future family plans by emphasizing his or her commitment to work.
"You focus on the career things." Rooney said.
Anna Williams, Powell, Wyo.
sophomore, said she had been asked a dubious question once.
When interviewed by a Wyoming bank, Williams was asked if she drank.
She didn't redirect the conversation. She took a more direct approach.
10 ILLEGAL QUESTIONS
Do you have plans for having children or a family?
What are your marriage plans?
Where were you born?
Where were your parents born?
Do you have a nanacap?
What is your religion?
What is your religion?
Do you have religious beliefs that would keep you from working certain days of the week?
Do you think your race or color will be a problem in your ability to perform the job?
What is your sexual orientation?

Williams said in her other jobs, interviewers stayed away from the subject of her personal life.
"I told them I didn't, because I was afraid they wouldn't hire me if I did." Williams said.

For University of Kansas students, graduating from college is just the beginning. The real work starts when it comes time to find a job.
Many schools at the University have career service centers that help students find a job after graduation.
Ann Hartley, associate director of Career and Employment Services, said that the schools of Social Welfare and Education both had good placement rates once their students had graduated.
"The placement rate for the two schools is between 80 to 85 percent for each graduating class," Hartley said. "There's always a high demand for people in these two fields and this helps to make our placement rates higher."
Hartley said that 70 to 75 percent of School of Education graduates who found jobs stayed in the Kansas and Missouri area. The School of Social Welfare also had a high percentage of graduates who stay in the area, she said.
Ashley Rogers, Topeka senior in social welfare, said she was not aware placement rates were that high for graduates of her school.
"I know there's a demand out there for social workers . . . and I think the career center does a good job of preparing us to get those jobs," Rogers said. "I especially like that such a high percentage of graduates find jobs in the area, because I would like work in this area after I graduate."
Hartley said some reasons graduates couldn't find jobs included unwillingness to relocate, financial or personal reasons.
The schools of Education and Social Welfare are not the only schools with active career services centers. The schools of Engineering, Journalism, Law and Business also have career service centers.
Trudy Lutz, office manager of the School of Business' Careers Services Center, said that 66 percent of last term's graduates had responded to the school with how their job search was progressing.
Lutz said 62 percent of graduates who responded had either found
employment, decided to continue their education or followed other career plans, while the other 38 percent were still seeking employment.
One of the ways the school tries to help their students find jobs is by putting their resumes on the Internet, Lutz said.
She said the Web resume book, where student resumes were posted, allowed businesses to browse the data base at home or at the office, without having to visit the campus.
Lutz said the school kept a detailed account of the students who graduated, but that it did not have an exact percentage on how many stayed in the area.
"Kansas Park, Mo., St. Louis, Mo., Overland park, Topeka and Denver were among the top 10 geographic locations of where graduates took jobs," Lutz said.
The goal for all career service centers is to help students find jobs, which includes participating in events like career fairs, she said.

KU graduates offer tips to smooth out job search

Jobs. Good Jobs.
Someday you will want one, and these three recent KU grads have them. Here, they offer a little advice.
- Ryan Friesen.
Friesen graduated in 1996 with a degree in biology. He now lives in
Olathe and works for Janssen Pharmaceutica as a Professional CNS Specialty Representative. In plain English, Friesen pitches drugs to psychiatrists. He has worked with Janssen since September 1996, about four months after he graduated. Friesen had advice on many facets of the job search:
Illustration by Kyle Ramsey / KANSAN
Friesen stressed the importance of doing your homework. He said that researching companies you are applying to is mandatory.
On getting started — "Start early," Friesen said. "Before you graduate, you should start getting your resume out there."
"Having a lot of knowledge about the company and the job itself is
important," Friesen said.
On interviewing — "Be confi dent and enthusiastic," he said. "You just need to sell yourself."
Allison Arbuckle. Arbuckle graduated in 1998 with a degree in business communications. She now lives in Tulsa, Okla., and works at SBC Communications as a manager in the Billing Inquiry Department. SBC Communications is the parent company for Southwestern Bell. She is in the SBC management training program and supervises 14 people. If you want to be in charge, this is what Arbuckle has to say:
On looking for that first job "Be aggressive yet open-minded." Arbuckle said. "Don't limit yourself to what you think you want."
She said that she ended up using her degree in ways she never had imagined. Although Arbuckle was in the School of Journalism, she registered with the School of Business Career Services Center, which helped her get her job.
On interviewing — "Take every opportunity you have to go practice interviewing." Arbuckle said.
She said that she went on interviews for jobs that she didn't want, so she could get practice.
Being clear and concise is important and be prepared so that you can sell yourself, Arbuckle said.
Aaron Kirby. Kirby graduated in 1997 with a degree in business. He now lives in Kansas City and works as a sale representative for Andrews and McMee Universal in the new media division. Andrews and McMeel has a division that syndicates among other things, columnists and cartoons such as Dr. Laura and Garfield. It's Kirby's job to sell that content to Internet companies like America Online. Here's Kirby's take:
On finding that first job "Don't worry about it," Kirry said. "You will be surprised how much will come available to you."
Kirby said that it's important to network at all times. He found out about Andrews and McMeel from a guy with whom he played basketball.
Also of importance — persistence. Kirby said that he interviewed for three positions before he landed a spot at Andrews and McMeel.
Favorite major may not take students down career path
On interviewing — "Be yourself and go in there relaxed," Kirby said. "Know the job. Do the research. Sell yourself."
Students usually go to college so they'll find a job when they graduate.
As a freshman, they are told to go with what they love
but sometimes doing just that will land them in a temporary agency.
The bottom line is: some majors are more practical than others.
David Hixson, Lawrence graduate student, found that out the hard way. As an undergraduate majoring in history, he thought he wanted to be a high school teacher or a professor. However, upon graduation in 1995, he changed his mind.
"I applied for a couple of business positions at banks, but I didn't have any luck," he said. "When I very first came to KU, I was a business major, but I got really wrapped up in liberal arts and really into history."
After taking a job at Superior School and Office, an office supply store that is no longer in business, Hixson decided to look for something else.
Now he's working on his MBA. Hixson said he thought students should major in something they love, but he also recommended they pick up a second major or return to graduate school if their favorite major was not practical.
“It’s so hard. You tell people to do something practical, but then when you get into the whole academia thing, it can change so fast,” Hixson said. “I think, and I hate to say it, but it really is tough to get a job with just a liberal arts
degree — or at least a job that pays anything."
Libby Burgess, Wichita sophomore, said that she already had chosen her major, basing it on the kind of job she hoped to get after college. Although art history and international studies are her passions, her primary major is business communications with a concentration in international studies. She said she chose not to major in art history because she didn't think she would be able to find work outside of museums or the classroom when she graduated.
"I don't want to be a museum curator," Burgess said. "I wouldn't major in art history because I'm so scared I wouldn't get a job. International studies is my baby. I love it because it's so much fun. There are so many opportunities with it and so many more in the future."

More businesses are searching Web for potential employees
By Amy Train Kansan staff writer
The Internet is being used more and more by companies to recruit potential employees and by students to find jobs.
One of the largest and most popular online job listing services is www.jobtrak.com, which tracks trends in the job market by providing details about employment outlook, hot jobs, salaries and career planning and development for college graduates.
Ken Ramberg, the Web site's cofounder, said the site was one of the top online job listings used by universities around the nation.
"More and more employers are turning toward the Internet to search for employees," he said. "Fewer employers are posting jobs in the newspaper."
Ramberg said Jobtrak.com, which has offices in Los Angeles, coordinated with career services at more than 900 universities helping graduates match their qualifications and backgrounds with specific jobs or regions
grounds with respect to Job Regions.
Last fall, the Student Monitor LLC Lifestyle and Media study ranked Jobtrak.com, which was launched in 1997, first in student-targeted Web sites in 1997 and 1998.
It was the only college-related site to be ranked among the study's most popular Web sites.
The monthly Jobtrak.com index monitors job posting data at a representative sample of colleges and universities across the nation.
Jobtrak.com's August index indicated that college students looking for jobs had many options. The index showed a 16 percent increase in total job openings posted in August 1999 versus August 1998.
The average starting salary last month was $35,329. The highest starting salary — $49,037 — was for graduates who held degrees in computer and information sciences. The lowest — $26,570 — was for graduates in education.
Ramberg said Jobtrak.com posted 440,000 jobs last year, including 70,000 in sales and marketing, 46,000 in business management,
46,000 in computer science, 41,000 in accounting, 30,000 in engineering and 25,000 in education.
"Our site is unique, because employers' posts are targeted at specific schools," he said.
Employers pay $325 per week, per campus to have a college-targeted link on Jobtrak.com. Companies pay $18 to be listed under one university's link and $395 to be listed under the links of the more than 800 participating campuses.
Sixty percent of the jobs posted are full-time, and 40 percent are part-time positions or internships.
Last year, 100,000 employers posted jobs on Jobtrak.com. Since 1997, 460,000 companies have used the site to recruit employees.
But Ramberg said students should research companies before interviewing with them.
"It gives students the chance to see what the company is about, and they can be totally prepared," he said.
Ramberg said Jobtrak.com had received a lot of e-mail in praise of the site's services.
Craig McKnight, engineering recruiter for Acsys, a Lawrence-based engineering company, said he recruited 50 to 60 percent of its candidates through www.monster.com, an online career network.
Monster.com, which is based in Maynard, Mass., provides job seekers with information about the most progressive companies. Some of the site's features include interactive, personalized tools to make the job application process more effective and convenient, such as resume management, personal job search agents, career networks, chats and message boards, privacy options and advice on job seeking and career management.
McKnight said Acsys received many responses from University of Kansas students for entry-level positions but that most of the engineering positions required two to three years of experience. Acsys employs only four or five KU students in entry-level positions.
Acsys posts between 20 to 30 jobs per month and usually receives about 50 responses. McKnight said

Another online job placement service is www.discoverme.com, which was launched in January 1988 and is based in Overland Park. This service is free for universities, students and alumni.
The site uses an online personality-based job placement service to place potential employees. The personality assessment takes about an hour to complete.
DiscoverMe.com's mission is to help people enhance their personal potential for the benefit of themselves, their employers, and society through the creative use of advanced technologies and proven research practices.
The career services center at the University has a Web site that provides a guide to Internet career resources. Several job sites can be accessed through the site, www.ukans.edu/~upc. The site also provides tips for preparing an Internet resume and applying online.
Different schools at the University also have individual career-related Web sites.
For example, Engineering Career Services has a Web site, www.engr.ukans.edu/engr-car.com, that provides links to career placement sites. It uses an Internet-style database for student career placement, said Cathy Schwabauer, recruiting coordinator for the School of Engineering.

Networking can connect greeks providing life-long job support
By Lori O'Toole
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Kristen Davis knows which tool she will use to search for her first job.
Davis, St. Louis junior, is a member of Alpha Chi Omega, which keeps close connections with its networking service based out of the sorority's national headquarters in Indiana.
She said she was confident networking would be beneficial because she had seen similar services help others steer their way into the work force, including her mother, who was a Kappa Alpha Theta at the University of Missouri.
Davis said her mom was out of a job several years ago after her former employer eliminated her public relations position.
However, she found a new job after she contacted the sorority's national headquarters to seek available positions through professional connections with other alumni.
"I said 'Wow. That's so cool that she has a support system for the rest of her life.' Davis said.
She said she hoped to find a similar support system when she was in the work force and that the network was one of the reasons she decided to join a sorority.
Kelly Jo Karnes, assistant director of greek programs, said networks vary from chapter to chapter.
many consisting of both formal and informal services.
"Fortunately there's people everywhere in almost every field that have Greek affiliation," she said.
karnes, who graduated from Emporia State University in 1997, met with area Sigma Sigma Sigma alumni for local networking after graduation.
"Having that alumni recommendation, that alumni connection after you get out is very important," she said. "When you find out someone was a member of the same sorority, there's an instant connection."
She said she spoke with one of the alumni who was in student affairs, the career path Karnes was interested in. The alumni gave her suggestions about schooling options and names of other people to talk to.
Ryan Sheahan, Fort Collins, Colo., senior and Sigma Nu member, said he hoped to use alumni connections to find a sales and marketing position when he graduated next summer.
He said fraternity members first contacted their chapter advisers when they were interested in finding a job or internship through the network.
The adviser calls people he knows, and the individuals make follow-up calls to start the process, Sheahan said.
"It's like our own human resource department," he said. "There's just hundreds and hundreds of alumni. It's such a great resource to have."
Workers go bust amid booming times

The Associated Press
PALO ALTO, Calf. — At a sunny playground in the heart of Silicon Valley, children fill pails with sand and dangle from bars while their nannies chat. In variably the conversation leads back to one subject: money.
"We just don't make enough to live on anymore," said Juan Hernandez, who gets $10 to $12 an hour to watch two young boys. "Certainly our bosses could afford to pay more."
For a nanny in another region, $10 might be good money. But in Silicon Valley, where the average two-bedroom house rents for $1,200, it's simply not enough.
"People talk about trickle down, but money just doesn't trickle down very far," said Chris Bender, a researcher at Working Partnerships USA who recently completed a study on the Silicon Valley economy.
He found that hourly wages of 75 percent of Silicon Valley workers actually were lower in 1996 than in 1989.
At the same time, top executives in the electronics industry earn more than 200 times as much as average production workers. Last year, the valley's top 10 executives received $442 million, mostly from stock options.
The average annual wage of software engineers exceeds $90,000.
This newfound prosperity comes with a price. Housing costs have soared, freeways are packed, and a new class of have-nots has emerged.
Amy Dean, CEO of the South Bay Labor Council, recently pushed the city of San Jose to raise its minimum wage to more than $10 an hour. The city agreed to $8.50 an hour with benefits, which Dean said wouldn't be enough.
"We see unprecedented prosperity, millionaires being minted on the hour," she said. "But on the other hand, we see hundreds of thousands of people simply being left behind."
Alfredo Felix trims hedges a few blocks from the home of Apple CEO Steve Jobs. His employer, a landscape contractor, pays him $8 an hour. Felix, his wife and two boys live in one room of a house in San Jose. The rent is $500 a month.
"Yes, I see these people here make good money." Felix said. "But for me, it's very difficult. I work hard, yes, but it just isn't enough."

Career fair can give business students head start
By Katie Eagan Special to the Kansan
Because seniors will be making their way into the real world of employment within the next year, the School of Business' Career Services Center is doing its part to lend a helping hand.
Students can get information about more than 100 businesses at the Business Career Fair Wednesday from 1 to 6 p.m. Students also can submit their resumes. The fair is targeted toward business students, but anyone can attend.
Representatives will be available to pass out brochures and answer questions at the Kansas
Union Ballroom. Big 12 room and Jayhawk room on the fifth floor of the Union. A handout listing each business and its location in the Union can be picked up near the fair's entrance. Businesses sending representatives include Hallmark, Sprint, Andersen Consulting, IBM and Southwestern Bell.
"Since the business world is very competitive, the career fair gives students a cutting edge because they can meet with representatives one on one," said Trudy Lutz, office manager of the center.
Not only will students learn about potential jobs, they will
be able to see where graduates from the University of Kansas are employed. Representatives wearing a special ribbon are, in fact, KU alumni and can be spotted easily at the fair.
"Alumni who bleed crimson and blue can best represent their company to KU students," said Lisa Leroux-Smith, director of the Business and Engineering Career Services Center. "There is no one better to get students excited about a company than a KU alum who works for that company."
One such KU alumnus, who will be representing the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway company, is management trainee and internal auditor Ryan Dreier. As a volunteer for the School of Business' Career Services Center, Dreier
"Since the business world is very competitive,the career fair gives students a cutting edge because they can meet with representatives one on one."
Trudy Lutz
School of Business' Career Services
Center office manager
helped organize the career fair last year when he attended the University.
"The Business Career Fair is a great networking opportunity to compare and evaluate companies," Deleier said.
To help students decide what area of business is right for them, there will be panels of representatives on accounting and information systems throughout the afternoon answering questions.
"Businesses are very familiar with the strength of KU's School of Business and know the quality of students that graduate from this school," Dreier said.
Even with the school's reputation preceding them, Dreier still recommends that students remember to do three things before coming to the career fair.
"Students should dress professionally, have a plan of businesses they want to talk to and also have questions prepared to ask recruiters," Dreier said.
Today, the center is helping students perfect their resumes. Students will be able to give their resumes to businesses on Wednesday to begin the job search process.
Questions about the Business Career Fair should be directed to the center at 864-5591.

Careers
Students keep summer jobs, drive to KC, Topeka
Erin McHugh
Special to the Kansan
Summer isn't finished for a number of KU students — at least when it comes to their summer jobs.
Many KU students still have jobs they held during the summer, and many of those jobs are in Kansas City or Topeka. More than a few students live in Lawrence, take classes at the University and commute to work.
Sydney Wallace, Overland Park junior, has been juggling a job as a server at the Cactus Grill in Leawood and college life in Lawrence since she was a
freshman.
She said it was hard at first because she used to work double shifts on Saturday.
"I felt like I missed out on stuff, but now I think it is worth it." Wallace said.
A summer job may turn into a permanent job for many reasons.
Angie Coppola, Overland Park junior, has worked at Houllihan's in Overland Park for more than two years and continues to work each Saturday night.
"It is so convenient for me to be able to choose what shift I want each week, and I also have the ability to pick up shifts if I
need extra money." Coppola said.
Some students choose to commute because Kansas City. Overland Park and Topeka have more upscale, busy restaurants where students work.
Mike Lee, manager at Yahooz, an upscale restaurant in Leawood, said many college students continued to work during the school year after working during the summer. Yahooz recently placed a classified advertisement in the University Daily Kansan looking for college students to work in Leawood.
"We are looking for good, quality servers and have had luck in
"It's great to not have to stress out over finding a job every year."
Kyle Vena
Overland Park sophomore
the past with college students," Lee said.
Summer jobs outside the restaurant industry also offer advantages to students who continue to work during the school year. Keeping a store discount, the ability to choose hours, raises and having a job secured for school breaks and the next
summer are popular reasons students say they continue to work during the school year.
"It is great to not have to stress out over finding a job every year." Vena said.
Kyle Vena, Overland Park sophomore, works for the Kansas City Royals during the baseball season and enjoys the stability of keeping his job.
Common complaints about extending a summer job into the school year include time problems, scheduling difficulties and spending money on gas.
Nicole Schnellbacher, Topeka junior, said communication and scheduling problems were major disadvantages to keeping
her summer job at Bath and Body Works in Topeka.
"If I am only scheduled for a three-hour shift, then it is not worth it for me to drive 45 minutes to work." Schnellbacher said.
The large number of students keeping summer jobs outside Lawrence has an effect on local businesses, said Jim Dallen, a manager at the Mass. Street Deli, 941 Massachusetts St.
"We are trying hard to get fully staffed this year," Dallen said. "There is enough competition within Lawrence without adding competition from Kansas City."

Kansas golfer walks the walk
Davis is recovering from accidental fall
By Dug Pacey sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
The first time golfer Brad Davis walked on his own this summer was when he walked down the aisle in early August to get married.
"It was the first day I had since the accident of walking without my brace," Davis said. "I didn't want my brace to screw up any of the pictures."
On May 10, Davis fell from the balcony of his fiancee's apartment. While she waited beneath the balcony, Davis ran up to get keys because she had had an operation on her foot. When he leaned over the railing to toss the keys to her, the railing gave way.
"It it fell like a gate, one end of the railing opened up and swung out," he said. "I was leaning on the end that opened up and I fell."
Davis landed on his feet but when he tried to walk, he knew something wasn't right. He had broken his heel in eight pieces and had compacted and chipped his third vertebrae.
He had to have six screws put in his heel and the lateral movement of his right foot is very limited.
"A lot of my teammates came to the hospital," he said. "Some of them were there an hour after it happened to see what was up."
Davis said his teammates were all supportive, and he thought he had made an impression on them.
"I think I've inspired some of them so far as they didn't think I could play."
He said that playing golf now was no too different from before his injury, but
too different from be
that he cannot practice
for as long as he
used to.
KU golf
"When I play golf now, my back is pretty tight," Davis said.
Before the season
before the season started, Davis and men's golf coach Ross Randall had questions about how he would be able to perform.
Last week Randall said he wasn't sure what to expect of Davis and even questioned whether he would be able to play.
Davis answered those questions with his performance in the Nebraska Invitational last week. He helped the team to a first-place finish and a national ranking of No. 1 in the country according to Golfweek/Sagarin's men's college golf team ratings. He shot a 221, and a 69 in the last round to finish tied in 13th place.
Davis will get a chance to dust off the rust in his game today and tomorrow at the Kansas Invitational at Alvamar Country Club, 1800 Crossgate Dr.
"I was competitive, but was rusty," he said.
"I know Alvamar pretty well, so I'm confident I do pretty well." he said.
Before the season started Davis said his only hope was to make it around the course.
For at least the first four tournaments Davis has been cleared to use a golf cart.
"I've been called 'Casey Martin' several times," Davis said in reference to the PGA player who rides a golf cart because of a birth defect in his right leg. "But he's got something a lot worse than I do, all I have is a broken heel."
Davis said that his style of play was more of a strategic game rather than to hit the ball as far as possible.
"I kind of a placer," he said. "I try not to get into too much trouble, I have to make it easy on myself. I don't have the recovery skills that other guys do."
Davis said that he hopes to have some good finishes this fall in tournaments and play comparable to the way he played last year.
"I'd just like to get back to where I was," he said.

Georgia goalkeeper stops Kansas for seventh shutout
By Chris Wristen

Kansan sportswriter
The streak continues for Georgia goalkeeper Nicole Williams.
With the loss, Kansas dropped to 2-4 overall, and Georgia improved to 6-0-1.
Williams recorded her seventh straight shutout and has yet to give up a goal this season, as the 17th-ranked Bulldogs defeated Kansas 3-0 on Friday in Athens, Ga.
an, and Georgia improved The Builders' defense
The Bulldogs' defense, which is ranked the nation's best, made Williams' job easier as they limited the Jayhawks to six shots. Sophomore Melanie Schroeder led Kansas with two shots.
SOCIAL SPORTS CENTER
It was a rough outing for Kansas senior goalkeeper Betsy Pollard as well. She was pelted with 22 shots during the first half. Georgia fired 29 shots, 17 of which were on goal, in the game and Pollard made 14 saves, which may boost her No. 13 ranking in saves per game in the nation.
Georgia scored both of its first-half goals during a 10-minute stretch. The Bulldogs first score came in the 23rd minute in the first half when Christy Peavy followed up a shot

which was deflected by Pollard, and buried it in the back of the net. They struck again when Carolyn Cayard fed sheila Gartman, who scored. Georgia wrapped up its scoring in the game's 69th minute when Catherine Holder scored an unassisted goal.
An improvement for Kansas was its earlygame performance. In two of their previous three games, the Jayhawks gave up goals in the opening minutes and dug big holes for themselves early.
"We just have to mentally prepare before and do whatever it takes to get us pumped up to play the game," Schroeder said before Friday's game. "We know the first five minutes are (critical)."
The Jayhawks played a solid second half, limiting Georgia to seven shots and taking four of their own.
Kansas returns to action tomorrow at 4 p.m. when the team travels to Springfield, Mo., to play a 7-2 Southwest Missouri State队.
Buffaloes injure Winbush in blowout win
Edited by Brad Hallier
Rv Mike Miller
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
BOULDER, Colo. — David Winbush thought the Colorado defense would remember him.
He was right.
Winbush, whose 268 yards figured largely in last year's Kansas victory, seemed no more than an annoying fly on the backs of the Buffalooes Saturday. Play after play, Winbush tried to find holes where there weren't any. Black Colorado jerseys surrounded him on Saturday.
"I expected to have a huge target on my back today." Winbush said. "They talked about redemption and revenge, and I guess they got theirs."
Colorado linebacker Ty Gregorak said there was no way the Buffaloes were going to let Winbush run on them two years in a row.
"Last year Kansas did everything in their power to embarrass us on the ground," he said. "Honestly, I feel bad for Winbush."
He knew the Buffaloes were focusing on him when he would look up before the snap and see Colorado linebacker Jason Sykes looking straight at him, and only him.
The black shirts that smothered Winbush all day did the same to the rest of the Jayhawks' running backs.
Kansas had 26 yards rushing and failed to establish anything on the ground. For every run for positive yardage, the next running play resulted in a loss in yards.
And it was Winbush that carried the brunt of the load.
He fumbled the first time he touched the ball and was stopped for a loss four times. His 11 carries for 12 yards was statistically the worst game of his career.
"I don't think I topped Notre Dame," he said. "Two fumbles is worse than one fumble and no vards."
But it was worse than just beating him back. Winbush also got beaten up.
A collision with Colorado cornerback Damen Wheeler in the first quarter left Winbush on the ground for a few minutes. He left the game, but returned in the second quarter. Another hit in the third quarter forced him out of the game with a sprained ankle.
"It was the worst in the third quarter when I got beat up though," he said. "That was all she wrote."

Kansas offense laments missed scoring chances
Continued from page 1B
"Our offense just couldn't get it together today," said Harrison Hill, Kansas wide receiver.
"But I didn't think we would get shut out this bad."
Other players were more blunt.
"I't just embarrassing," said Michael Chandler, Kansas wide receiver.
The Jayhawks couldn't do much against the Buffaloes and were dominated by Colorado from the start.
The offense moved the ball at times, but was never consistent and failed to capitalize on scoring opportunities throughout the game.
During a 7-3yard drive in the second quarter, Kansas ran the ball, made a big play and got first downs when it needed to, but the Jayhawks couldn't score a touchdown. Kansas had four chances to score from inside Colorado's 10-yard line, but all the Jayhawks could manage was a field goal.
Carl Nesmith returned a kickoff 97 yards to the Colorado three-yard line, but two plays later, the Buffaloes returned a Henri Childs fumble 96 yards for a touchdown.
Quarterback Dylen Smith played the final three quarters and engineered the Jahwaks' only scoring drive, while starting quarterback Zac Wegner
stayed on the bench, even when the game wasn't in doubt. But Allen dismissed that notion.
"I thought about going back to Zac in the second half, but I wanted to get Dylen a chance to play and get some repetitions," he said.
The decision left both quarterbacks hanging — Smith thought he played poorly; Wegner was upset with his reduced role.
It wasn't just Wegner who was left confused about his role and the team's play.
"As a coach, you go from disappointed
"I've been reduced to a cheerleader right now," Wegner said.
to mad to frustrated." Allen said.
The Jayhawks forced five fumbles, recovered three, held the Buffaloes to less than three yards per carry and did knock starting quarterback Mike Moschetti out of the game. They held Colorado deep in Kansas territory six times and forced five field goals.
Running back David Winbush summed up the day best.
But it was a vicious circle, because the Buffalooes defense was punishing and was the main reason Kansas couldn't do anything offensive.
"We just didn't play football today."

Baseball team opens fall season with scrimmages
Bv Joel Francis
Kansan sports writer
The crack of the bat resonated around Hoglund Ballpark this weekend when the Kansas baseball team abandoned aluminum bats and opened the fall season with the Crimson and Blue Scriffimages.
"Wooden bats require more precision, and let you learn more about hitting," coach Bobby Randall said. "It is the equivalent of a basketball team practicing in lead tennis shoes."
New players faced the veterans in games on Friday
New players faced in and Saturday. Yesterday's game was called off because of weather conditions. The scrimmages were held as part of
Baseball
games were taped, so they could be analyzed.
"By looking at tapes, you can see what you can't feel, like pitching mechanics and hitting mechanics," Randall said. "We will sit the players down individually and watch them over the next couple days."
Freshman Ryan Baty hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning on Friday giving the newcomers an 8-5 victory against the veterans.
"After getting beat on Friday, the veterans came back on Saturday and weren't going to be denied," Randall said of the veterans' 12-11 victory on Saturday. "The team showed attitude, spirit, hustle and effort."
Randall said the three areas for the team to work on were hitting, base running and pitching, but he was pleased with what he saw during the games.
"We continue to improve," Randall said. "Change is a good thing. It takes you to the next level. There are a lot of steps leading to the top, and every one of them requires change. The players are receptive to that, and that's a good sign."
The team will practice for the next four weeks, and hold several more informal scrimmages. The fall season will culminate in the Crimson and Blue World Series.
"There are two components to fundaments," Randall said. "Fundamentals to execute, and fundamentals to playing a game. We will work on execution for three weeks, and then mold them into actual games."
Randall said that he was pleased with the work that he had seen from the team so far.
"I am pleased with the changes we have made in a week," he said. "It's a good beginning to the fall."
Freshmen swimmers lead Kansas to first place finish

Kansan sportswriter
Kansas swimming coach Gary Kempf wasn't kidding when he said that his younger athletes would have the opportunity to jump into leadership roles early this season.
The men's race was dominated by Kansas with eight Jayhawks finishing in the top 10 as they defeated the Salukis, Kansas was led by freshman Brian Soria who finished nearly three minutes ahead of his nearest competitor with a time of 55:40. Sophomore Nathan Rice placed second at 58:18, freshman Patrick Norman placed

fourth and senior Skip Revnolds finished fifth.
"Overall, it was a great race," coach Gary Kempf said. "I was pleased with our effort and our performance. Soria had a dominant race. That was one of the best open water performances I've seen in a while."
In the women's race, Kansas edged Southern Illinois. Although the battle was close, it also revealed that a bright future lies ahead for the Kansas women. The top four Jayhawk finishers were freshmen. Lyndsay DeVaney won the race in 58:48, 10 seconds faster than Amber Mullins of Southern Illinois. Beth Schryer captured third, Gwen Halley was fifth and Heidi Landerr finished in sixth.
Kempf was thrilled with the performance of his freshmen.
"What a tremendous job they did," Kempf said. "That's a good sign of things to come."

Students swap blood for beer, quicker buzz
By Amber Stuever writer @kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Replacing a pint of blood with a pint of beer may make blood donors who drink alcohol a little more loopy than usual.
With the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation blood drive in full swing this week, donors who drink alcohol 48 to 72 hours after giving will, intentionally or not, get inebriated more easily.
Ray Pallanich, Lenexa senior, said he had given blood and gotten drunk that night, knowing the effects of alcohol on donors.
"I got really drunk, really fast," he said. "It just kicks in really fast."
"Basically, drinking can lead to the same things, like alcohol poisoning if you're not careful after you give," Johnson said.
Kari Johnson, collection supervisor for Kansas Blood Services, said combining alcohol consumption with blood donation can cause the same problems as normal drinking only quicker.
David Oxandale, Lawrence sophomore, said he felt the effects of alcohol after donation blood.
he felt the effects of alcohol after tasting blood. "I normally don't get sick when I was drinking, but I did that night," he said. "After giving blood and getting drunk that night, I think that's about the closest to rufied I'll ever get," he said, referring to the highly intoxicating drug called Rohypnal.
Donating blood heightens the effects of drinking because the body's fluids are lowered and replaced with alcohol. A woman's body normally holds eight to 10 pints of blood and a man's holds 10 to 12. When people donate they give a pint of that blood, causing alcohol to be more concentrated in less fluid.
"One drink will make them feel kind of flakv when they didn't before." Johnson said.
How vulnerable to alcohol a donor is depends on body weight and gender, but the effects are heightened for everyone.
Kansas Blood Services recommends donors eat a full meal before consuming alcohol although the effects can last for two to three days.
Giving plasma has the same effects on drinkers as donating blood.
basic naked guy'
Ty Lower, Phillipsburg junior, said as a freshman, he would give plasma to intentionally get drunk easier.
"It took about two or three drinks because you're dehydrated," he said.
However, Lower said he would get headaches the next day and would drink a lot of water but still feel dehydrated.
Johnson said she recommended students take the proper precautions to avoid the normal but accelerated effects of alcohol and hangovers.
Students can donate blood at Allen Farm
house every day this week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

William Men Morris, Danville, Ma., freshman, was arrested Sept. 15 after he allegedly entered a house in the 1300 block of Tennessee Street and walked around naked.
Morris was charged with aggravated burglary, lewd and lascivious conduct and attempted sexual battery. Morris will make his first appearance in court at 3 p.m. tomorrow. He could not be reached for comment.
Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence Police Department would not confirm that Morris was connected with similar sightings of a naked man in the Oread vicinity this summer.
But police have found common denominators in the method of operation in 15 incidents from April 9 to July 23.
"We feel that some of these are linked by intoxication," Wheeler said. "Your base naked up."
Those events occurred in central Lawrence, imply in the Oread neighborhood.
The Oread neighborhood is bounded by Ninth and 19th streets and Massachusetts Street to West Hills Terrace. Wheeler said Most of the incidents span across an area between Sixth and 24th streets and Kentucky and Louisiana streets.
Wheeler said several factors attracted exhibitionists to that area. "There are a large number of people living together in a continued space," he said. "There are also a large number of single females living in that area around the University. It attracts people who want to expose themselves."
Wheeler pointed to five key examples involving the "Oread prowler":
■ On May 14, a caucasian male exposed himself and masturbated on a porch in the 200 block of Hanover Place.
■ On June 19, a naked caucasian male walked back and forth outside a house in the 200 block of

Professors use real experience instead of virtual reality
Some say teaching technology don't mix
By Todd Halstead
Kansan staff writer
Students follow him around, experiencing different aspects of campus through all the senses — whether it be splashing around the Chi Omega fountain to learn about its meaning or viewing paintings at Spencer Art Museum. Johnson's guidance allows his students to develop and nurture their own thoughts and beliefs.
Watching Ted Johnson Jr. teach is like observing the ancient philosophers of Athens guide their pupils through a journey of mind and body to attain knowledge and revelations about the world — right down to the technology level they use.
GRETI PRIER
Johnson has been a professor of French and Italian for more than 30 years, and said he was different from professors that use PowerPoint and other forms of technology to teach classes. Instead, he chooses to guide his students through discussions.

"I tend not to profess. I bring students to profess," Johnson said. "For me, that is very important — that they profess and develop their individual, authentic and authoritative voice."
Johnson is among a group of professors at the University of Kansas that dismiss using computer technology, including PowerPoint software, to instruct students — and disregard it as a comprehensive tool for research.
much as he possibly can, Johnson has disdain for the computer as a substitute for experiencing objects and subjects firsthand.
The insignificance of technology in Johnson's life is evident by a glance into his office.

"As you can see in my office, there is a computer over there," Johnson said. "You can see all the stuff on it and realize I have not turned it on for some time."
Amid walls stacked with books, papers and folders sits a computer, its opaque screen staring lifelessly from the recesses of Johnson's office.
not only has he avoided turning it on, but Johnson never has employed it in the two years that it has sat in his office.
Johnson said that he was dissatisfied with electronic means of communication because it cannot replace the time spent in discussion with his students.
"That exchange is invaluable, and there is no way that e-mail, typing words back and forth, would ever work in the sense that ideas are born — and it's very delicate," Johnson said. "You have to be with someone when an idea is born to work it

out and develop it."
Johnson said that he tried using the Internet for research but abandoned it after his search came up with more than three million possibilities.
"I think people who rely on the computer for research are going to miss very important points." Prater said.
Although the computer can be a useful tool, Prater said it was damaging to the extent that students are abandoning library research.
"I think research via computer takes you out of the library, and I think knowing how to use a library and how to do research through a library process is invaluable." Prater said.
On rare occasions, Johnson takes a CD player or 1960s-era record players that he salvaged from the trash to class to play music for the students. He said he thought computers made students passive and less engaged in classroom discussion.
Keith McMahon, associate professor of Chinese language and literature, said that he does not teach with computer programs but that he may in the future.
"I find that I'd rather teach with what I can do with my voice — my own presence in the classroom," McMahon said. "I don't oppose teaching with computers, but I
don't think it should replace the ways that already have proven to be good."
McMahon does not believe that research on the Internet alone will allow students to gather the minimum amount of information needed to do research.
"I think the general tendency these days
is to not go in-depth, no matter if they're using a book or a computer," McMahon said. "But it is a tendency for the computer to give you way too simplified a rendition of things."

Investigation continues in student's fatal accident
The Kansas Highway Patrol is continuing to investigate the July 10 accident that killed a 21-year-old KU student near Wamego.
Ethan Lichti, Newton sophomore, was killed when his car was struck by a Kansas Bureau of Investigation vehicle on Interstate 70. The KBI vehicle lost control when one of its tires blew, and the vehicle crossed the center line, hitting Lichti's车 head-on.
Lichti was killed instantly.
The investigation has indicated the tire may have been a retread, which was unsafe for highway driving.
Sgt. John Eichkorn said the Highway Patrol reconstruction team had the tire in evidence and would have it analyzed by a neutral and independent lab.

Plane crash in Kansas leaves one man dead
ATLANTA, Kan. — A man was killed and his son was critically injured Sunday night when their single-engine plane sud-
denly lost altitude and crashed in a cow pasture just outside of Wichita.
Pilot William "Bill" McBee, 53, of Atlanta, Kan.. was pronounced dead at the scene. His son Joe McBee, 22, also of Atlanta, was flown to a Wichita hospital where he was listed in critical condition Sunday night, Cowley County Sheriff Bob Odell said
Witnesses said the left wing of the aerobatic plane suddenly dipped before the aircraft plunged to the ground, about a quarter-mile south of an airstrip, Odell said.
The elder McBee was reportedly an experienced pilot who spent years dusting crops and performing aerobic stunts, Odell said.
Crowds nearly double at state space center
HUTCHINSON—The Liberty Bell 7 exhibit is being credited with a 40 percent increase in attendance this month at the Kansas Cosmosphere & Space Center.
The announcement of the 40 percent increase compared to last year at this time came only a week after the exhibit was unveiled.
The week of the Kansas State Fair usually isn't a particularly high-draw
period for the museum, said Karen Siebert, spokeswoman for the Hutchinson aerospace museum.
The space capsule, once plotted by astronaut Virgil "Gus" Grissom and recovered from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, will be dismantled and cleaned in a few weeks by a restoration team.
Cosmosphere visitors will be able to watch the restoration through windows in the Hall of Space Museum.
The unveiling also included the installation of a digital camera that sends pictures of the capsule to the Cosmosphere's Web site, www.cosmo.org.

Volunteers start to rebuild church at Waco site
WACO, Texas—A libertarian talk show host and volunteers used shovels and pickaxes during the weekend to begin rebuilding a church at the site of the Branch Davidians' compound fire six years ago.
A fire during the 1993 government raid leveled the compound, killing leader David Koresh and about 80 followers.
Austin talk show host Alex Jones, 25, said Sunday he wanted to rebuild the church as a memorial and increase publicity about the FBI's possible role in the fire.
Jones said he chose now to build a memorial and church because of a recent admission by the FBI that agents had fired potentially incendiary tear gas canisters at the compound the day it burned, despite years of statements to the contrary.
Family sues SeaWorld after son found dead
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The parents of a man who was found dead in a killer whale's pool at SeaWorld are suing the park.
Daniel Dukes' naked body was found July 6, scratched, bruised and draped over the 5-ton Tilikum, the largest killer whale in captivity.
The 27-year-old apparently made his way past security at SeaWorld, remaining in the park after it closed. Wearing only his underwear, Dukes either jumped, fell or was pulled into Tillikum's huge tank.
A medical examiner concluded Dukes suffered hypothermia and drowned
The suit contends that SeaWorld offers no public warning that Tilikum could kill people who enter the water. It also alleges that puncture wounds on Dukes' leg and foot are consistent with him having been pulled into the pool by Tilikum.

Dukes of Columbia, S.C., sued the

African-Americans relate to Clinton, author says
Vic Abbey, SeaWorld's executive vice president and general manager, called the suit crazy.
WASHINGTON—President Clinton agrees with author Toni Morrison; he is — unofficially — the nation's first African-American president.
Clinton jokingly claimed that distinction for himself Saturday night at the Congressional Black Caucus' annual awards dinner.
He said comedian Chris Tucker told him he'd like to see the Oval Office to prepare for an upcoming movie role as the nation's first African-American president.
"I didn't have the heart to tell him that I've already taken the position," Clinton said.
In an October 1998 essay in The New Yorker magazine, Morrison said African Americans tended to be sympathetic to Clinton because his impoverished childhood and personal struggles seemed to mirror many of their own experiences.
Supreme Court justice recovers from surgery
WASHINGTON—Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, being treated for colon cancer, is recovering without complications from surgery, a court spokeswoman said yesterday.
Ginsburg, 66, underwent the surgery Friday and is expected to remain hospitalized for about a week. It is unknown whether she will be able to return to work for the start of the court's 1999-2000 term on Oct. 4.
Ginsburg became ill while teaching in Crete in July. She was hospitalized there but initially was diagnosed as suffering from a gastric disorder. It was not until she recently sought treatment at Washington Hospital Center that the diagnosis changed to cancer.

U.N. Children's Fund halts operations in Somalia
MOGADISHU, Somalia—The United Nations Children's Fund suspended its operations in southern Somalia yesterday following the killing last week of its highest-ranking health officer in the region.
Ayub Sheikh Yarow, 41, died Thursday from wounds received during an apparent robbery attempt. Five other local UNICEF workers were wounded in Wednesday's assault, which occurred in Dibi Arab, a small town near Jowhar in central Somalia.
UNICEF officials said yesterday that its activities in southern Somalia, including distribution of high-energy food biscuits, would cease until at least Friday, when the decision would be reconsidered
The aid suspension comes at time when famine has produced the worst rates of hunger and disease in southern Somalia two years.

Racist convicted in dragging death African American
The Associated Press
BRYAN, Texas—A white supremacist today became the second man convicted in the gruesome slaying of a black man who was chained by his ankles to a pickup truck and dragged to death.
Lawrence Russell Brewer, 32, could get the death penalty for murdering James Byrd Jr. in Jasper last year.
Brewer stood with his attorneys to hear the verdict, delivered just four hours after deliberations began. He had no visible reaction.
The judge had admonished spectators to have no show of emotion in the courtroom, and there was none.
The jury of 11 whites and one Hispanic returned to the courtroom to immediately begin hearing testimony on whether Brewer should be sentenced to death or life in prison.
The judge indicated he did not expect to complete the punishment phase yesterday, meaning Brewer would not learn until today if he will join John William King, 24, who has been on death row since
his February conviction in Byrd's slaying.
A third man, Shawn Allen Berry, also 24, faces trial late next month.
Prosecutors said they believed the three men killed Byrd to promote their fledgling white supremacist organization — the Confederate Knights of America — and initiate Berry into the group.
Brewer testified last week that he was on a road with King and Berry in the early hours June 7, 1998, when Byrd was chained by his ankles to the bumper of Berry's pickup truck, then dragged for three miles.
"He just admitted enough to comply with the facts and staying just short of the death penalty," Jasper County District Attorney Guy James Gray said.
Brewer testified that Berry had first slashed Byrd's throat, then chained him to the back of the truck. He said he even urged his two companions to release Byrd.
"I didn't mean to cause his death," Brewer said. "I had no intentions of killing nobody."

Feeding the flock: ECM offers food
By Amanda Kashube

Kansan staff writer
For students looking to avoid the cold weather for a few minutes, the Ecumenical Christian Ministries will be offering free coffee, tea, muffins, bagels and donuts beginning Thursday.
Thad Holcombe, pastor at ECM,
said the free breakfast was a way
to fill the empty building at 1204
Oread Ave.
"We're at the end of campus where nothing is open before 10
a. m.," he said. "It's a place to gather and have conversation."
ECM will be serving the breakfast from 8 to 10 a.m., one hour before the Glass Onion, 624 W. 12th St., opens. Holcombe he hoped many students would take advantage of the opportunity.
"A large university like KU needs as many places for students to meet (as possible)," he said. "We don't have enough now that are accessible to them."
Students can make donations to ECM when they drop in for breakfast.
Erin Batty, Denver, Colo., freshman, said she would stop by the ECM on her way to classes from Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall in the mornings.
If all goes well, ECM will be serving students Monday through Friday.
Holcombe said the main goal was to provide hospitality to students.
Still, many students, like Shae Steven, Wichita freshman and GSP-Corbin resident, might stick to their nail tickets at residence halls instead of stopping in at ECM.

Speaker from Sony praises NAFTA
By Irina Rodriguez
Special to the Kansan
There is a difference between speaking a foreign language and communicating in that language, said Jesus Luis Zuniga in his lecture about cross-cultural management yesterday at the Kansas Union.
Zuniga, former general manager of Sony Video Technologies in Mexico, spoke to about 40 business students and faculty members about the experience of running a multicultural business, or a maquiladora — an American-owned factory in Mexico.
The most important thing in cultural management, he said, is learning and understanding the local culture and being sensitive to the needs of people in that particular region.
"For Japanese executives, workplace is a social interplay, where they also relax. The Americans work less, but they are focused on work and separate it from leisure. Mexicans put long hours into work and manage to do a lot," Zuniga said. "Putting together the different styles is very difficult."
He said the first thing he had done after becoming manager of Sony had been to require executives to take culture classes to learn how to communicate through their differences.
Zuniga, one of the pioneers of the maquiladoras in Mexico, also spoke about the North American Free Trade Agreement as a driving force in the transformation of maquiladoras from the extension of American assembly lines into
separate business units.
"I believe in global attitude," he said. "New maquiladoras are based on knowledge, technology transfer and local self-sufficiency, rather than on cheap unskilled labor."
He said since its opening in 1987, the Sony plant in Mexico had grown to become the largest Sony plant in the world by 1991, with the highest production quality and productivity.
Zuniga said he wanted to share his experiences with future business leaders because he had been blessed with a successful career.
A chemist by education and training, Zuniga formulated artificial tears for the first astronauts on the moon. He has been featured in a number of international publications, including The Economist and The Wall Street Journal, and he received awards in the field of business from former presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan.
Dennis Karney, professor of business and coordinator of Zuniga's visit, said Zuniga's lecture was beneficial for both himself and the University of Kansas community, which was rich in cultural studies.
"To hear a story of this person who worked in the intersection of the three cultures is a win-win situation," he said.
The visit was sponsored by the KU Center of International Business and Research. Zuniga will be speaking to cross-cultural and international business classes and to MBA students at 11:30 this morning at the Frontier Room in the Burge Union.

Pan-Hellenic organizations hold informational meeting
By Lori O'Toole
Kansan staff writer
Students interested in learning more about the University's National Pan-Hellenic chapters can meet with different sororities and fraternities at an informational meeting from 7 to 9 p.m. tonight in the Kansas Union.
The University's National Pan-
Hellenic system involves four African-American sororities, five African-American fraternities, a Latina sorority and a Latino fraternity.
Members from each organization will give a 10-minute presentation about their principles and member requirements. Prospective members must have a minimum grade point average, which varies for each chapter, and must have accumulated a specific number of credit hours.
"There are so many new freshmen coming in who really don't know about the whole greek system," said Nauna Carosdale, council president and Kansas City, Mo., junior. "A lot of people may come in with ideas and things they have heard that may not be accurate."
Carosidle said there were often misconceptions about the system, especially among non-minority students.
The sororites and fraternities involved in the National Pan-Hellenic Council function on a separate system than those that function through the Panhellenic Association and the Interfraternity Council.
However, the National Pane-mail ...
PAN-HELLENIC CHAPTERS:
■ Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
■ Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
■ Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.
■ Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc.
■ Sigma Lambda Gamma Sorority, Inc.
■ Iota Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.
■ Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc.
■ Kappa Alpha Pi Fraternity, Inc.
■ Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.
■ Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.
■ Sigma Lambda Beta Fraternity, Inc.
Hellenic organizations are involved in similar activities, like community service and social activities.
The organizations also promote leadership and work closely with the Black Student Union to take political action on campus.
Although there are divisions between the two systems, Carosdale said members had been working together to encourage collaboration.
"Historically black colleges have more people involved and can support a house." Carosdale said. "But here, there's not man of us."
None of the National Pan-Hellenic organizations at the University have chapter houses.
She estimated the total number of members was fewer than 200 people.
Erica Hawthorne, National Pan-Hellenic Council public relations chair, said tonight's meeting would not be for recruiting new members.
"We want students to be able to take an unbiased look at all the sororities and all the fraternities that they may be interested in," she said.

Bill banning soft-money donations should be passed by U.S. Senate
Last Tuesday, the U.S. House of Representatives took an important step to improve our democracy. They passed the Shays-Meehan bill, a provision to reduce the ever-widening inflow of money into U.S. politics. The bill is designed to level a playing field in which those with large amounts of wealth have a hugely disproportionate advantage in their ability to influence elections.
The bill will ban "soft-money" contributions to political parties. Soft money" is supposed to be used for party-building but instead has become a way in which both the Democrats and Republicans get around current restrictions on individual political campaigns. The bill will also restrict advertisements paid for by outside
Campaign finance reforms may stop the wealthy from steering elections
groups that obviously endorse a specific candidate.
This bill is vital because it can reduce the extent to which money runs politics in our country. It will ease our current situation in which wealthy groups and individuals can promote their candidates and agendas and the voices of the lower classes are left as muffled howls.
The main argument against this, and one which will be brought forth largely by Republicans when the bill reaches the Senate, is that restrictions on contributions are restrictions on freedom
of speech. It will be argued that giving money is a form of expression and thus must be protected.
This argument is correct on one point. Giving money is a form of expression. However, absolute freedom must sometimes be abridged for the benefit of society as a whole. The right of wealthy donors to steer elections is the same reason the have-nots are forgotten. The right to speak is empty when the majority is mute. Our current system usurps the maxim of one person - one vote.
Though the Senate equivalent of the bill may well fail, it is an extremely important idea. The U.S. political system must be rid of its master the dollar. The Shays-Meehan bill is a step in the right direction.

Censorship by schools is bad news
Two weeks ago, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals made a decision that could potentially affect the content allowed into student newspapers across the nation.
The court decided that student newspapers fall under the control of the universities that finance them. Essentially, universities legally may act to see that student newspapers only print positive, preapproved news. The court based its decision on a case in which high school newspapers were put under similar constraints. The justices argued that student newspapers are not public forums and thus do not merit the same First Amendment protections afforded to the professional press.
The ruling stemmed from a case at Kentucky State University in which the student newspaper's adviser was removed from her position because she
First Amendment should protect student newspapers
allowed students to print cartoons and letters that were critical of the university's administration.
Although this decision only directly affects schools in Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and Michigan, it has implications for student newspapers across the country. It is a bad law and teaches all the wrong lessons to student journalists.
One of the most important things college journalists must learn is how to responsibly exercise their First Amendment rights. This means checking facts scrupulously and then printing the truth. It also means taking informed, principled stands on issues and then
printing them on the opinion page. Censoring student journalists doesn't teach them to be anything but fearful.
The editors of the University Daily, the student newspaper of Texas Tech University, were so incensed by the ruling that they withheld the day's news of Sept. 9. Instead, they ran an editorial condemning the decision, a press release from the Student Press Law Center and nothing else. The rest of the paper, save advertisements, was filled with the word "censored."
Some Texas Tech administrators criticized this action; they said it was too extreme. We disagree. We support the editors and staff of the Texas Tech newspaper in their efforts to show what censorship really does. As Barry Goldwater said in 1964, "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice; moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."

P pop quiz: What is leadership? Well, I don't know either, which is odd, really, given how much emphasis is placed on it around here. Especially at the beginning of the year, you hear from all corners of campus, "Get involved; it'll help you develop leadership skills," or "She's
Leadership training doesn't make leaders

a really great leader." There's even a student group, KU LEAD, that's devoted to developing leadership on campus. But what is leadership?
PETER H. SCHNEIDER
Erin Simpson columnist opinion@ansan.com
Maybe leadership is the ability to get people to follow you. If so, then how is leadership different from brainwashing? Or coercion? I can get you to follow me by holding a gun to your head, but that doesn't make me a leader. Maybe leadership is the ability to get things done. But even great leader!
can face insurmountable odds that might prevent their success.
My dictionary says that to lead is to show the way by going in advance. That definition is full of characteristics of a leader: intelligent (the leader must know the way), courageous (the leader must first go it alone) and empowering (the leader shows the way to others so that they will follow on their own). These characteristics bring up an interesting question: Can leadership be taught?
The University sure thinks so. Did you know that the Student Organizations and Leadership Development office, which is part of the Office of Student Life, organizes three separate leadership workshops every year? Three! Student Senate has its own separate workshop, as do the scholarship halls. All exist under the premise that with the right icebreakers, speakers and experts, leadership can be developed.
Well, I think they're wrong. I don't think leadership can be taught. It can be made better; it can be refined. But it can't be taught. Period.
You can teach a student good communication skills, how to write an agenda, how to speak in public, where to go for help, how to run a meeting
and how to keep things organized. A workshop or seminar even could teach a person how to recruit members, talk to the press and work with the administration. A good seminar might even talk about crisis management, dealing with adversity and problem solving techniques. But you can't make a student want to do it in the first place.
To want to do it at all requires initiative. It requires vision. It might even require a little arrogance. You can't have a meeting to make people want to go to other meetings. The whole process is cyclical. The only people at leadership seminars are the people who have the initiative to go in the first place. That means the speakers and experts are preaching to the chair. And maybe that's why the O&L office and others in the University think that you can teach leadership: They're only teaching the leaders. They don't grab random people out of Biology 100 or off Wescoe Beach. They deal with people who already have initiative and vision. If they didn't already have initiative and vision, they wouldn't be at the seminar in the first place.
No leadership seminar can put the fire in your belly that you need to be a leader, the kind of fire that works its way into your heart and soul and keeps you awake at night searching for solutions. A seminar can't make you see things that are flawed and make you want, crave or yean to fix them. That's because a workshop can't teach conviction, devotion, courage, bull-headed determination, compassion, intelligence or imagination. These are the things that distinguish a leader from a president, and leadership from mere organization.
A seminar can teach you how to deal with failure. But it can't teach you how to pick up the pieces when everything you've worked for and believed in falls apart. A workshop can't convince you that what you did made a difference, that it wasn't all for naught. Only a leader knows that. And only a leader, a real leader, will want—will insist on—picking up those pieces knowing that something might just break them all over again.

I believe in classroom education outside the traditional classroom.

community by playing host to non-credit classes, being a space for community theater and allowing organizations to have weekly meetings there. I had never attended the University Forum. The Forum, a weekly lecture series, is held every Wednesday from noon to 1 p.m., a tradition established back in the '40s. An important service provided to the community, these lectures are offered by the ECM at no cost.

University students, professors, administrators, emeritus professors, Lawrence high school classes and members of the Lawrence community attend the Forum. Between 35 and 100 people are usually in attendance, although as many as 250 people have attended a single lecture. Topics and presenters for each semester are determined at an open meeting held at the end of the previous semester. There is a concerted attempt at balance between genders; local, national and international issues; and University and community concerns. Lectures from the fall schedule include "Pornography: A Panel Discussion," "Mayan Ruins and Sacred Sites of Belize" and "Health Care in America: A Social Responsibility or a Profitable Business?" These topics appear diverse and of interest to a wide variety of attendees.
The forum I attended was presented by David Katzman, professor and chair of American studies. The title of the discussion was "Athletics and the University: Selling of the University, Part II". Nearly 100 people attended. Participants included KU students, an honor class from Lawrence High, many emeritus professors and alumni, student senators and members of the KU Athletics Department. The lecture focused on the often strained relationship between a university and its athletic department. As the title suggests, the issues of eligibility, salaries and facilities were discussed.
One fact that caught my attention was that, typically, the highest-paid male coaches receive five times what a chancellor earns and more than eight times that of the highest- paid professor.
I am equally impressed by the presenters: professors, doctors and directors of both national and local programs. The creditials of these speakers reflect national and international recognition.
Luetke-Stahliman is an Olathe sophomore in sociology and American studies.
Many questions were asked and comments made after Katzman finished. The discussions of the issues were among individuals who began their statements, "Well, I graduated from college in 1950, and..." to current students concerned with the fact that the present KU student body subsidizes the department through Student Senate. After the lecture, I saw many people mingling, asking questions of each other, offering opinions and debating points. The atmosphere during the lecture was also different from a traditional classroom in that no one was taking notes for a later exam, catching up on other homework or reading the Kansan. Rather, the people there made the time in their days to attend and to learn something of interest to them, knowing there would be opportunity for discussion. Here, people gather each week — for another lecture, another issue — simply for the love of learning.
U.S. should help East Timor refugees
Feedback
Your recent editorial on East Timor asks, "How could the United States possibly turn the other way and let the madness continue?" Indeed. In the recent violence, credible estimates are that about 7,000 people have been killed (some estimates are lower). In the 1975 Indonesian invasion and its aftermath, 60,000 E. Timorese were killed. The U.S. did not "turn the other way," but actively prevented the United Nations from acting against Indonesia. The US supplied 90 percent of the weapons used.
According to Nairn (and othr
The killings escalated in the late 1970s during the Carter administration, which then increased arms sales to Indonesia. Eventually, 200,000 East Timorese, one-third of the population, lost their lives as a result of this near-genocidal occupation. In 1991, several hundred East Timorese were massacred, and two American reporters severely beaten by Indonesian troops. One of these reporters, Allan Nairn, is currently under arrest in Indonesia for risking his life to report on the killings there, while most other reporters have fled.
ers), the current violence is under the control of the Indonesian military and could be stopped at any time. The militias killing in East Timor today were created, armed and trained by the Indonesian army over the last year. The U.S. during this time could have put pressure on Indonesia to prevent the current violence. It has not done so. The least we can do now is to insist that Indonesia stop the killings, disarm the militias, withdraw and allow the refugees to return home.

School of Business finds interim associate dean
Communication studies chairman chosen for position
By Amanda Kaschube
writer@kansan.com
Kanson staff writer
As the search continues for a new dean for the School of Business, an appointment was made last week that will help clear the path.
Howard Sypher was named interim associate dean of academic affairs for the school after receiving approval from Tom Sarowski, dean of the school, and Provost David Shulenburger.
Sypher, who was formerly chairman of communication studies, said his new job offered him an opportunity to learn and teach new things.
"I've not had the opportunity to be involved at the school level."
he said. "I didn't really anticipate moving to the business school."
Sarowski said Sypher brought a great record of administrative performance to the school.

"The dean decided he wanted an
"It brings a different set of experience and ideas," he said. "They can question things and add their values to the situation."
Kelvie Fitzgerell, Copeland senior in the School of Business, said Sypher's experience as a communications professor would help the school and its students.
"It's a plus because communications is important in the business world," she said. "You need to learn how to communicate and learn teamwork, and he can help with that."
Sypher said many of his communications students were from various schools such as the schools of journalism or business.
Sarowski said the School of Business had a curriculum that emphasized communications.
Sypher will still teach a seniorlevel class in the communications department. To ease his schedule on campus, the class has been moved to Summerfield Hall.
"It will make it easy for me to slip around," he said. "It won't conflict at all."
His responsibilities will include scheduling classes and contributing to budget debates.
Sarowski said he chose Sypher instead of other School of Business faculty and staff for various reasons.
"A lot of senior faculty who held administrative positions are focusing on other areas in the school now," he said. "Younger faculty who have not yet achieved tenure are working to be full-time professors. An appointment for them would be a major distraction."
Because Sypher is only an interim associate dean, his position is only secured for two or three years. Sarowski, who will retire
"You need to learn how to communicate and learn teamwork, and he can help with that."
Kelvie Fitzgerrel senior in the School of Business
as dean after next semester, said the new dean would determine Sypher's future in the school.
"It made more sense for flexibility," he said. "The new dean can continue with Howard for however long he or she decides. Howard can always go back to communications."
Sypher will not be on the committee to choose the new dean, but Sarowski said Sypher could become a candidate if he wanted. "It would surprise me," Sarowski said. "It was not the plan when we asked him to be associate dean."

Taiwanese jolted awake by devastating earthquake
The Associated Press
TAIPEI. Taiwan — The strongest quake in Taiwan in decades jolted the island early in the morning, wrecking a 12-story hotel in Taipei, destroying more than 100 homes islandwide and killing at least 269 people, the government said. About 1,000 people were injured.

The quake had a preliminary magnitude of 7.6 and was centered 90 miles south-southwest of Taipei, the U.S. Geological Survey's National Earthquake Information Center said. It also issued warnings of possible tsunamis, or huge waves that sometimes follow earthquakes.
In Taipei, the island nation's capital, the quake wrecked the 78-room Sungshan Hotel, collapsing the bottom stories and setting the badly damaged top listing to one side.

Fire crews turned hoses on the wreckage as smoke poured from fires raging in several destroyed rooms. Sixty people were still feared trapped in the building, with 49 people
A woman pulled from the wreckage urged rescuers to look for more injured.
"Hurry, go rescue people. They're in there. They're inside," said the unidentified woman, who was dressed in street clothes and did not appear to be injured. "I lived on the ninth floor.
but now it's the fourth floor."
Meanwhile, 50 people were reported injured when a 12-story apartment building collapsed in the Taipei suburb of Hsinchuang. An estimated 100 others were still trapped within the building, which collapsed onto a neighboring five-story structure.
The Interior Ministry's disaster management center reported 269 dead and about 1,000 injured islandwide.
In Washington, President Clinton said he and Mrs. Clinton were saddened by news of the quake.
"We are in touch directly with the Taiwan authorities to determine what assistance from the United States may be needed," he said.
Tuesday's quake was Taiwan's worst since a 7.4-magnitude one hit the island in 1935, killing 3,276 people. Taiwan is jolted by dozens of quakes each year, but most are centered in the Pacific Ocean east of the island and rarely cause damage.
The latest quake struck at about 1:45 a.m., while most of Taiwan's 22 million people were sleeping.
International peacekeepers arrive in ravaged East Timor
The Associated Press
DILI, Indonesia — The international peace force assigned to bring order to East Timor's murderous chaos landed without resistance yesterday, effectively marking the end of Indonesia's control after 24 turbulent years.
Armored personnel carriers rolled from transport planes and clattered down the rubbish-strewn streets of Dili, Timorese refugees watched in amazement.
But the real test for the 7,500-member international force will come when it spreads to remote areas to protect a still terrified populace. It was unclear whether the militias would fade away or transform themselves into guerrilla fighters sniping and harassing the unwanted foreigners.
In wave after wave, the transport planes from Northern Australia airlifted more than 1,000 soldiers and tons of ammunition, explosives, land mines and supplies.
The troops arrived in an abandoned city left in smoking ruins, with no food, electricity or clean water.
fills, with no food, electricity or clean water. Within hours of beginning the operation at dawn, heavily armed combat troops from Australia.New
As they moved through town, the troops could see black smoke from fresh fires billowing over the city and, in the evening, the glow of flames in the countryside.
Zealand and Britain were in control of the airport and the harbor, the two vital links to the city.
"There is a lot of destruction," Australian Maj. Chip Henriss-Andersen said.
Some residents emerged and shook hands with the troops and smiled.
The airlift was to continue through the night, and operation commanders said they hoped to have 2,300 troops in the half-island territory by daybreak today.
The arrival of the force, just five days after it was authorized by the U.N. Security Council, spelled the beginning of the end of Indonesian rule in East Timor, where four-fifths of the people voted for independence in an Aug. 30 referendum.
Despite threats to attack the international force, there was no sign of the pro-Indonesian militias who launched a campaign of arson, terror and murder, driving tens of thousands of people from their homes in hopes of nullifying the ballot.

School of Business finds interim associate dean
Communication studies chairman chosen for position
By Amanda Kashube writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
As the search continues for a new dean for the School of Business, an appointment was made last week that will help clear the path.
Howard Sypher was named interim associate dean of academic affairs for the school after receiving approval from Tom Sarowksi, dean of the school, and Provost David Shulenburger.
Sypher, who was formerly chairman of communication studies, said his new job offered him an opportunity to learn and teach new things.
"I've not had the opportunity to be involved at the school level."
he said. "I didn't really anticipate moving to the business school."
Sarowski said Sypher brought a great record of administrative performance to the school.
"He knows a lot about the University," he said. "He had the
right kind of qualifications for the position."
Sypher replaced Bruce Bublitz, who stepped down from his position as associate dean to concentrate on teaching business classes.

Bublitz said
Bubuir said only time would tell if Sypher — a communication studies professor — was right for an administrative position in a different school. "I'll now decide he wanted an
outsider with an outsider's perspective," he said. "That may or may not work."
Sarowski said people frequently crossed departments.
"The dean decided he wanted an
"It brings a different set of experience and ideas," he said. "They can question things and add their values to the situation."
Kelvie Fitzgerrel, Copeland senior in the School of Business, said Sypher's experience as a communications professor would help the school and its students.
“It’s a plus because communications is important in the business world,” she said. “You need to learn how to communicate and learn teamwork, and he can help with that.”
with that. Sypher said many of his communications students were from various schools such as the schools of journalism or business.
Sarowski said the School of Business had a curriculum that emphasized communications.
Sypher will still teach a seniorlevel class in the communications department. To ease his schedule on campus, the class has been moved to Summerfield Hall.
"It will make it easy for me to slip around," he said. "It won't conflict at all."
His responsibilities will include scheduling classes and contributing to budget debates.
Sarowski said he chose Sypher instead of other School of Business faculty and staff for various reasons.
"A lot of senior faculty who held administrative positions are held on other areas in the school now," he said. "Younger faculty who have not yet achieved tenure are working to be full-time professors. An appointment for them would be a major distraction."
Because Sypher is only an interim associate dean, his position is only secured for two or three years. Sarowksi, who will retire
"You need to learn how to communicate and learn teamwork, and he can help with that."
Kelvie Fitzgerrel senior in the School of Business
as dean after next semester, said the new dean would determine Sypher's future in the school.
"It made more sense for flexibility," he said. "The new dean can continue with Howard for however long he or she decides. Howard can always go back to communications."
Sypher will not be on the committee to choose the new dean, but Sarowski said Sypher could become a candidate if he wanted.
"It would surprise me," Sarowski said. "It was not the plan when we asked him to be associate dean."

Player's return may end scoring drought
Kansas hoping Rantala's return will bring goals

And that's good news for the
Knicks, women's soccer team.
Krissas won the Highly-touted transfer Hilla Rantala injured her right ankle in the opening minute of the season and hasn't played since. She has rehabilitated her ankle, completed full workouts in practice and will make her return to the field today when the Jayhawks battle Southwest Missouri State in Springfield, Mo.
"That's huge for us." Coach Mark Francis said. "The last two days she's been able to practice 100 percent, which she hasn't been able to do up to this point. You can already tell a difference offensively in the stuff we've been doing just by having her in there."
by having two seasons at South Rantala, who scored 27 goals and had 27 assists during the past two seasons at South
Alabama, had never missed game action because of an injury during her college career and was frustrated with sitting out.
with strings "I absolutely hated it," Rantala said. "This was the first time in three years this has happened to me. I'm actually happy the games have been away and not here because it would be so much harder to see it and not be able to help the team."
She is aware that the return may be a slow one, but hopes to make the transition as quickly as possible.
"I'm not expecting a lot because I've been sitting out for three weeks." Rantala said. "It's going to be hard. I know it already, but I just hope that I can prepare myself for the weekend."
But Kansas won't be taking the Bears lightly.
The Jayhawks, 2-4, lost their last two games, both against top-20 teams. The Bears will bring a 7-2 record into today's game. Their impressive record, however, may be deceiving. Southwest Missouri State has defeated only one team with a winning record, and the combined record of the teams they have beaten is 7-32.
"Any time anybody has won a lot of games, you've got to look at who they've beaten. They've beaten some good teams," Francis said. "They haven't been playing top-20-inthe-country teams, but you have still got to go out and get the job done, and they've obviously been doing that."
The primary concern for the team today will be scoring goals, something it has not done in its past two games.
Francis said Rantala should help the Jayhawks get out of their scoring slump.
"That's the game plan right now, and we'll see how it works out." Francis said.

Men's golf rattled by crowd home course expectations
By Doug Pacey sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The top-ranked Kansas men's golf team was a little upset after the first day of the Kansas Invitational at Alvamar Country Club.
"We probably could have done a lot better," golfer Brad Davis said.
"They know that it's kind of a temporary ranking," Randall said. "Even if they won this tournament, some of the very best teams haven't played yet and (the ranking) is based on those who have already played. That wasn't a problem. The only pressure they have is playing at home; sometimes it's not easy to play well at home because your expectations are very high."
BRAD DAVIS
The men finished with a score of 587, trailing Missouri by five strokes.
The pressure of playing on their home course, not the team's No. 1 ranking, was what turned up the stress, coach Ross Randall said.
Golfer Ryan Vermeer said even though Alvamar was the team's home course, it
Kandall said even though the team shot some high scores yesterday, they should do better today with better weather.

played differently today than in practices.
"They set the greens) up a little bit longer than what we normally play at practices, and it was wet. So it played long," he said.
"This morning we finished a little bit suspect on the last couple holes, so we ended up shooting four over, which was not what we had in
Kansas finished the first round of play yesterday trailing Missouri by one stroke 292-291.
Davis said that the team could have putted better.
Vermeer, the top-ranked collegiate golf player, said that the weather played a part in the jayhawks' disappointing finish yesterday.
Vermeer was tied with David Suggs and Cory Ewert, both of Missouri, for the lead two-under par 70 after the first 18 holes.
"I hit the ball well today. I didn't make very many putts, but I usually don't make too many putts on these greens, and I've been playing here for four years," he said.
Vermeer said that he didn't feel much added pressure of being the No.1 ranked golfer in the country.

to keep playing.
Jake Istnick and Andy Stewart are the only Jaywhakes who finished in the top 25. Istnick shot a 149 to tie at 16th place and Stewart a 150 for 23rd.

Ex-Kansas standout strikes gold with 49ers

Dan Dercher misses Kansas
not that he doesn't like where he is now — he says San Francisco is beautiful and the ocean is great — but he misses the things that made Lawrence home for the previous five years.
Walking around campus and seeing the leaves change color are two of the little things he misses. Not being stuck in traffic every day, and living in a place where rent didn't cost an arm and a leg was nice too. The women most.
But he misses the women bloo. "The women out here are kind of gold-diggers," Dercher said.
tract with the San Francisco He wasn't picked during the NFL draft last May but that didn't mean teams weren't interested. More than a dozen teams contacted him, including the 49ers.
It must be the 49er in him that tips them off. Dercher, a two-year start on offense at left tackle for the Kansas football team, struck gold when he signed a two-year, $190,000 contract with the San Francisco 49ers.
So why didn't they train "Bill Walsh called me and basically told me that it was his fault they didn't draft me," Dercher said. Instead of drafting him, San Francisco focused on defense during the draft, but courted Dercher as a free-agent. He was told he would have a chance to compete for the second-string tackle
So why didn't they draft him?
positions, which enticed Dercher.
He signed, then beat out a second-year pro for the spot on the roster.
Not bad for a guy who played defense his first three seasons at Kansas.
"How about our boy Dercher?" said Kansas coach Terry Allen. Allen suggested Dercher switch from defense to offense two years ago and was pleased that the change worked out.
change work on the team. It was his experience on defense that helped Dercer make the team. He developed quick hands and feet, which is something not emphasized as much on the offensive line. His defensive experience helped make Dercer standout among other linemen.
"They like my quickness," he said. "But everyday you want to keep impressing the coaches. You don't have a guaranteed five-year plan like in college."
At first he was intimidated and in awe of the players, but then he settled down.
But he was happy to trade homework and going to classes for football as a full-time job. Plus, he gets to work with players he grew up admiring.
"The first time I was in the same huddle as Steve Young and Jerry Rice I was like, "Whoa." But they're human beings just like you, so I settled down and tried to focus," he said.

Area boxer contributed outside ring
I felt sick after I opened the sports section last Wednesday.
On Tuesday morning, 24-year-old Carver died.
I'd been checking it first thing each morning since Monday, hoping to find some good news.
The night before, Kansas City boxer Randie Carver lost consciousness after a fight at Harrah's North Kansas City Casino and Hotel. He was taken to North Kansas City Hospital where friends and family held a vigil, waiting and praying for Carver to regain consciousness.
It's strange to feel emotional about someone you've never met, but Carver was the type of person who could inspire feelings in those who never actually knew him.
after someone dies, we expect to hear about all the great things they did and what a special person they were.
But even while Carver was living, people who talked about Randie Carver the boxer couldn't help talk about Randie Carver the man.
I started following Carver's career a little more than year a year, after two of my friends told me about this boxer they had lived with in Kansas City during the summer. He's the real

great movement, nice technique. This guy's going to be a champion, I thought.
I didn't realize at the time that Carver was already a champion in an arena much larger than boxing.
Carver grew up poor with the lure of trouble all around him. Two of his brothers were sent to jail, and a third was murdered in his sleep.
That kind of life wasn't for Randie Carver, though. Instead of hanging out on the streets, Carver spent his time in the gym. His work ethic made people take notice — this kid had what it took.
When he was just hanging out, he

Steph Crane, who introduced my friends to Carver, knew him for about 12 years. In her mind, what made Carver special was simple.
Carver specializes.
"He's just a giver," Crane said. "He had so many friends. Everyone just loved him."
Now, everyone is wondering how this could have happened.
His promoter complained that he received too many head butts during his last fight. Others have said that he had been fighting too often (he had fought seven times in the last 11 months).
whatever might have contributed to Carver's death, the tragedy is the same — a young man is dead before his time.
Carver's story reflects the sad and familiar irony of boxing — a young man finds refuge from trouble in a boxing gym, only to have the sport ultimately become his undoing.
Boxing brings human traits into harsh conflict. Courage, dedication, violence and pride clash in the ring in what is sometimes a beautiful sport and sometimes a brutal travesty.
and so makes Perhaps the saddest irony is that Randie Carver, a man who represented all that is right about boxing, ended his career in a fight that demonstrates what can be very wrong about boxing.

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 7.
All your hard work might seem like it's been in vain, but it really hasn't. The goals you're after keep growing; that's all. Haven't you noticed that as soon as you get to where you want to be, something over there looks better? This is perfectly natural. Learn to love it.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
You're a pretty easygoing person, but something that's said could rub you the wrong way, even though the other person thinks it's fine. Instead of keeping your thoughts to yourself, speak up. The other person really may be clueless.
Gemini: Today is an 8.
You should look good, and you get stronger by the minute. It's time to reach a little further than you've ever gone before — mentally, that is — and maybe physically, too. Start drawing plans for your next excursion.
The work you're doing should be pretty lucrative right now. You're either making good money or being frugal with what you have. Don't brag about it, though. You don't need to incur a friend's jealousy.
There's only one way to get ahead, and that's by constantly testing your limits. You may not get as far as you want today, but next time you try, you'll get further. Don't give up, even if you've turned back.
Leo: Today is a 5.
Virgo: Today is a 6.

There's way too much to do today. In fact, you may even have to cancel a couple of things. A trip out of town could be one of them. You're probably doing OK, though. You're raking in the bucks.

You're busy trying to be two places at the same time. You may be tempted to quit your job, but you probably need the money. Someone you know wouldn't mind helping, so go ahead and ask.

Aquarius: Today is a 7.
What you're learning could conflict with what you already knew. Don't feel bad. Situations change. A friend can help you catch up on the latest developments. They're nice to know, even if the most important stuff always stays the same.
It's always easier to get a loan when you don't need the money, and that could be the case again today. You may decide against borrowing, but it's nice to know what you're worth. It's a good time to find out, again. You may be pleasantly surprised.
Pisces: Today is a 6.
You think things are going well, and then you get home and find out your roommate's mad at you, the toilet's been running all day and your water bill's sky high. No need to be alarmed, but you'd better check before you join the gang for dinner out.

Chiefs running back out for rest of season
KANAS CITY, Mo. — One day after the greatest game of his career, Kimble Anders had surgery on his Achilles' tendon and will be lost for the year, Kansas City Chiefs coach Gunther Cunningham said Monday.
Anders, a former Pro Bowl fullback, was converted this year to halfback and carried 22 times for 142 yards in Sunday's 26-10 victory against Denver — the biggest day by a Chiefs back since 1991. He went down late in the fourth quarter.
A skillful blocker and pass-catcher
as well as runner, Anders was also a quiet leader. He was placed on injured reserve late Monday.
Also Monday, left guard Dave Szott underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. The former All-Pro, who missed all last season with an arm injury, sat out most of the Denver game. Szott said he hoped to be back in two weeks.
"It's tough. It's tough personally," Cunningham said. "The football part, those things happen. You've got to go on. But it's tough personally because Kimble's done a great job for all of us."
"But my wife wintes when I say that," he said. "I missed enough time last year. I don't want to miss much more."
ENDICOTT, N.Y. — Four months ago, Brad Faxon had a broken wrist and didn't know if he could ever play golf again. On Monday, he proved more than that.
Golfer wins tournament four months after injury
Faxon beat Fred Funk in a two-hole playoff to win the B.C. Open. It was his sixth career victory and first in two years, and surely one of his sweetest.
After playing 36 holes and one playoff hole during 12 hours on Sunday, Faxon parred the only hole the pair played Monday. He won in 15 minutes when Funk self-destructed on the par-4 No. 18.
"It's really nice to be able to come back and win this soon after injury," said Faxon, who broke his left wrist in late May while changing a floodlight on the roof of his Rhode Island home. "It could have been a career-ending thing."
Funk's drive sailed into the trees lying the right side of the fairway and his second shot ricocheted off a tree trunk diagonally across the fairway.
"It's a tough driving hole," said Faxon, who earned $288,000.
"There's water left, and with the pin on the right side you can't really use the right side of the fairway. You hit it in that right rough, you don't have a shot at the flag."

Crain's quoted unidentified sources as saying that financial advisers for the new company were exploring a bid for the New York Jets, which have been for sale by the estate of the team's late owner Leon Hess.
The merger of the Yankees and Nets is expected to be finalized in the next few days.

Watson wins his first senior title
The Associated Press
DALLAS — Tom Watson had to wait years before winning on the PGA Tour. He needed only two tournaments to win on the Senior Tour.
Watson shot a 10-under-par 62 Sunday to break a day-old course record at the Bent Tree Country Club to win the $1.3 million Bank One Championship.
The ease of his five stroke victory surprised even him. He was tied for the lead going into Sunday.
"I knew I had to shoot low. And I hadn't shot a low round in a long time," he said.
Watson was a tour rookie in 1971, and he didn't win his first event until he took the 1974 Western Open.
He won his last PGA Tour event in 1998, the Colonial in Fort Worth, at age 48. He joined the Senior Tour ranking sixth on the all-time money-winning list. Watson has now become the third-youngest winner ever on the 50-older tour — and took home a $195,000 winner's check in the process.
The 62 broke Watson's PGA Tour career low of 63, which he had accomplished three times, and beat Hale Irwin's course record of 9-under-par 63 set on Saturday.
Irwin, who finished 12th in the tournament, has 25 Senior Tour victories, three behind Lee Trevino for the most on the tour.
But for one day, Watson could feel the
thrill of being the hot young gun on the tour again, having beaten the tour's best as the top 11 players on the money list were in the field.
While Watson entered the tour, a founding father of the Senior PGA Tour was retiring from the field.
Don January announced his retirement after shooting a 6-over 78 on his hometown course. He shot an 8-over 80 opening round on Friday.
The man who won the first Senior PGA Tour event in 1980, then 22 more, said his game was no longer competitive.
"I don't have any regrets about retiring. The only thing is I wish I'd done it sooner." he said.
Dercher misses Kansan vistas, women
Continued from page 1B
That was how most of 49er training camp went. During preseason games, he was nervous about getting lots of playing time — his best opportunity to make the team
and kept his focus. By the time the regular season came around, he was relaxed and ready to play.
Dercher knew he wouldn't see much time in the season opener against Jacksonville, but when he did play, it wasn't against other backups. It was against all-pro
defensive end Tony Brackens,
Jacksonville's career sack leader.
"I had three snaps against him. One time I took him to the ground," Dercher said.
He hopes to get more playing time when San Francisco travels to St. Louis Oct. 10. He has about 60 friends and relatives coming to that game, and some of them will be the Kansas connection that Dercher misses.
He still lives with friends he made while attending Kansas, which keeps him grounded in
reality.
"I'm living a little bit better than I'm used to, but I'm not going to run out and spend it all," he said.
That's why he tends to be wary of the women in San Francisco. He can never tell if they like him for his money or for him. Plus, football keeps him busy.
"I haven't had time to find any women out here," Dercher said. "I'd just as soon find a nice girl from Kansas."

Cowboys pluck Falcons 24-7
The Associated Press
IRVING, Texas — Denver isn't the only Super Bowl team in trouble.
only Super Bowl team in the
The Atlanta Falcons were wiped out
24-7 last night by the Dallas Cowboys,
marking the first time both defending
conference champions have started the
following season 0-2.
But that's not the worst of it for the Falcons.
Facons. Quarterback Chris Chandler couldn't play because of a strained hamstring, and running back Jamal Anderson joined him on the sideline after spraining his right knee early in the first quarter of the weak offensive performance.
As for Dallas, things are looking good. The Cowboys are 2-0 for the first time since 1995, their last Super Bowl season, and their defense didn't look anything like the group that was torched by
Washington in the opener.
Then again, Dallas was stopping an Atlanta offense led by Tony Graziani and Byron Hanspard, third-year players with empty resumes compared to Pro Bowlers Chandler and Anderson.
Graziani was 7-of-16 for 90 yards. His second pass was intercepted, leading to a Dallas field goal, and he fumbled early in the third quarter, setting up the touchdown that put the Cowboys up 17-0. The left-hander's biggest highlight was making it to the third quarter, something he failed to do in his previous two starts. The thrill was short-lived, though, as Danny Kannell soon replaced him.
Kannell, who beat Dallas twice with the New York Giants in 1997, was almost as ineffective. He short-circuited one drive with an interception, then
rebounded with a 45-yard touchdown pass to Tim Dwight with four minutes left, the first time the Falcons crossed the Dallas 30 in the game.
the Dallas so that the Falcons threatened again but on a third-and-goal from the 4 with 1.01 to play, defensive end Greg Ellis returned an interception 87 yards for the final Dallas touchdown.
Anderson was lost six minutes into the game without even being hit. On his third carry, Anderson planted his right foot, cut left and was grabbing his knee before he even landed on the artificial turf of Texas Stadium.
turf or Texas stadium.
His bulldozing style was especially missed on three third-and-short situations when the Falcons were down 10.0. Atlanta instead had a nearly intercepted pass, a no-gain by Hanspard and Graziani's fumble.

"Overall, I am pleased with our performance," coach Tracy Bunge said. "You're never pleased with a 1-3 record, but the fall is not about wins and losses. The fall is about looking at things we practiced in a game situation."
The tournament was the earliest the team has begun fall play in several years.
"It was a typical first weekend,"

the games were used to determine the responsibilities of the new assistant coaches.
Softball team starts fall season
"I decided to put Julie Wright in the first base box, and leave Drew Christmian in the dugout." Bunge said. "Drew's got a great deal of experience and knowledge of the mental side of hitting. His being able to talk to players as they go on deck, or come off the field will be beneficial. Julie is very perceptive on the field and can communicate well with runners. She has worked with me before and knows when I like to send runners."
The Jayhawks will have three practices this week before their fall home opener at 1 p.m. Friday. They will play two games each on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
"The first game against Iowa was not pretty." Bunge said. "Just about anything that could happen, did happen. At times Sarah looked sharp, at times she didn't. She hadn't thrown enough to get 100 per-

"I expected the hitters to be behind," she said. "We've really only seen four days of practice against live arms. The Green Bay pitcher wasn't a quick thrower, and we didn't adjust to the slow pitch."
McGwire's 59th ruins perfect game
The Kansas softball team opened its fall season with a three-game tournament last Sunday in Iowa City.

The team rebounded and scored three runs in the eighth inning winning its first game against Iowa, which gave Sarah Clopton, Orlando, Fla. senior, her first win.

The Associated Press
CHICAGO— Mark McGwire's 59th homer was the perfect way to end a perfect game Monday night.
Big Mac broke up Jon Lieber's bid to pitch a perfect game with two outs in the seventh inning, moving McGwire to within two home runs of Sammy Sosa for the major league lead and sparking the St. Louis Cardinals in a 7-2 victory against the Chicago Cubs. Sosa fled out to the wall in the first, walked, singled and struck
Bunge said the offense struggled, but she expected it.
Bunge said. "We were not real sharp; we hadn't spent enough practice time to be sharp."
McGwire, who hit 70 homers last season beating Sosa by four, broke his own record of 128 for most homers in two seasons. He now has 129, combining this season and last. He has homered four times in his last four games.
run homers to Thomas Howard and J.D. Drew. After a single by Marcus Jensen, Lieber (8-11) was lifted and St. Louis scored two more on an RBI single by Eduardo Perez and run-scoring double by Edgar Renteria increasing the lead to 7-0.

Genetic test quality examined
Nation
WASHINGTON—A gene test concluded Nancy Seeger at greatly increased risk of getting breast and ovarian cancer, so the Illinois woman, who had watched cancer kill her mother and aunt, had her ovaries removed.
Eight months later, Seeger got more devastating news: The company that tested her genes had made a mistake — she didn't have the cancerous genetic defect after all.
Gene tests that promise to predict a person's future health are being sold to Americans, for hundreds of dollars each, with a seldom-mentioned caveat: No one regulates the accuracy of most of those tests, even though mistakes can be life-altering.
The Food and Drug Administration, which oversees most medical tests, says it lacks the money to regulate gene tests, such
as the one Seeger took.
Experts say that while most laboratories do a good job — and genetic tests are powerful tools that can help many people — Seeger's experience illustrates risks that the public and doctors must understand.
Now, Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala has appointed a panel of leading geneticists to determine, by Dec. 1, how to ensure quality gene testing.
Neal Holtzman, who headed a National Institutes of Health genetics task force, told Shalala's advisers that one company quit marketing tests to predict who was at risk of Alzheimer's disease only after a study found people with that gene actually had less than a 20 percent chance of getting sick.
Scientists already have developed about 600 genetic tests. The majority are for very rare diseases in families plagued by certain illnesses.
But more routine testing of healthy people to predict their future risks of cancer or other killers is poised to explode, said Francis Collins, the institute's gene director.
"The risks of something going wrong, or of marketing a test before you've proven its utility, are significant," said Collins, one of Shalala's genetics advisers.
The question is how to lower those risks without stifling a rapidly moving field.
The FDA does regulate special gene test kits sold to doctors by a handful of companies. But the FDA isn't regulating the vast majority of genetic tests, those performed by laboratories or companies shipped a patient's blood.
Some experts think the FDA's lengthy approval process could inappropriately slow genetics testing. They said that alternatives exist, such as setting professional standards for gene testing.

Take note, not all professors welcome commercial deals
By Nathan Willis writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Although students might disagree, a commercial note-taking company is betting that students won't want to attend social welfare professor Dennis Dailey's popular Human Sexuality in Everyday Life class.
Instead, the online note-taking company allstudents.com is hoping students will log onto its Web site and download notes once the site is operational.
(USPS 650-640)
And that makes Dailey mad.
And that makes Dailey mad.
"I don't want note takers in my class," Dailey said. "If I thought that all my class was about was the notes, I'd just mail my class to the
students."
Dailey said that in frustration, he called the University General Counsel to learn about his options — one of which could be a lawsuit
Dailey said that about a week ago he sent the company an e-mail telling it to stay out of his class after he saw an ad in the University Daily Kansan that said the company would begin offering notes for his class. He hasn't received a response.
one of which could be a lawsuit against the company.
Provest David Shulenburger said
Dailey is one of several professors who teach large lecture classes at the University and are having trouble keeping commercial note takers out of their classrooms this semester.
determining whether to let commercial note takers into the classroom was up to the professor. But if companies don't leave when a professor tells them to, they are violating University policy and copyright law. he said.
Shulenburger said that this semester there had been a surge of commercial note takers, along with an increase in the number of complaints from professors about commercial note-taking ventures.
"We reissued the policy this year because of all the new companies that put stuff up on the Web," Shulenburger said. "I'm not in a position of saying whether commercial note taking is good or bad, but they absolutely may not do it unless
faculty approve. Folks are potentially facing significant legal costs here."
One of the problems this semester is that Web-based companies are not asking professors first if they can take notes, Shulenburger said. Versity.com, which lists 58 KU classes on its site, is one of the companies that professors most frequently complain about, he said.
Tim Shaftef, professor of accounting and information systems, is an example. He has never let commercial note takers into his Financial Accounting I lecture, but Versity.com's Web site lists his class

Band's 'songo' style puts crowd in salsa mood
YAMAHA
By Lesley Simmons
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Los Van Van made up for lost time last night.
Because of the American embargo of Cuba, the Cuban band that played last night at Liberty Hall was first allowed to tour in the United States only a year and a half ago when the embargo's restrictions elighted.
Los Van Van plays a "songo" style, which comes from the traditional Afro-Cuban rhythmic dance "son," and is similar to salsa music.
Afro-Cuban band Los Van Van, known for their high-energy shows, performs onstage during a set at Liberty Hall. Photo by Roger Nomer/KANSAN
Los Van Van spread across the stage last night, presenting a united front of sound to more than 700 dancing fans. Three trombone players at stage right and two violin players at stage left flanked three singers. Aligned behind them were two band members playing electronic piano, bass, one playing drums and two additional percussionists.
And the audience responded.
As full as the stage was, band members allowed themselves ample room to dance.
"The crowd seems warm," said John Stewart, Blue Springs, Mo., senior. "Everyone that's here seems glad to be here. Getting down in the crowd and dancing, you can forget you're in the States."
The almost hypnotic connection between the band and the audience was cited by promoter Bob Augelli, as the reason Los Van Van was considered one of the finest bands in Cuba.
banks in Cuba.
Stewart said that experiencing a Los Van Van show gave the audience a taste of Cuba and the Latin-American world in general.
Mary Cardona, Anzoategue, Venezuela, junior agreed. "This kind of music is very close to the music in my country," she said. "When you are South American, you can dance to music from Venezuela, Cuba, Brazil, Chile (etc.)"
(eic)
The table selling Los Van Van CDs and CDs by
Barbario Torres, the opening band, had almost sold out by the time Los Van Van took the stage.
Augelli said he was glad the band finally had a chance to make its voice heard in the United States.
"The people from the U.S. have a right to hear the music of the people of Cuba," he said, adding that the band's music was not political.
That has not kept the band from being affected by other people's politics. A show in Miami last week was postponed because of pressure from the largely white community of Cuban exiles there, who were still opposed to anything coming out of a Castro-led Cuba.
"Let's take the politics out," said Augelli, who added that he was happy that the band came to Lawrence, the tour's smallest venue.
KU students were also happy that the Cuban band played in town.
— Edited by Brad Hallier
"I think it's great that this is the second Cuban band I've seen in Lawrence," said Marvin Grilliot, Roeland Park graduate student in Latin American studies. "I hope the American embargo on Cuba ends soon, because the people it affects most are just the regular, every-day folk."
FacEx to work with Provost's salary study
By Nathan Willis
writer@kansan.com
Kanson staff writer
The Faculty Executive Committee agreed yesterday that the University of Kansas would not pursue a faculty pay equity study separate from the one the provost's office is undertaking during the next two months.
Mary Hawkins, FacEx president, said the committee's decision broke with an announcement by Buddy Gray, president of the Council of Faculty Senate Presidents, to the Board of Regents on Thursday that the faculty at the six Regents universities would study pay equity.
Instead, Faculty Senate would work with the provost's office as it progressed in its salary equity study, she said. Hawkins and Provost David Shulenburger had met and agreed that a joint effort, instead of two separate efforts, was the best course of action.
"It will not be a task force sponsored as such by governance," Hawkins said. "We agreed we wanted to assist the provost's efforts. The means, in this case, may vary from institution."
After the FacEx meeting, the University Senate Executive Committee met and discussed options for establishing a policy regulating sidewalk chalk on campus.
In the end, SenEx took no action, instead preferring to first seek more input from the provost. However, SenEx members discussed several possible courses of direction the policy could take.
Members discussed what should be targeted and suggested several alternatives for restrictions. They generally agreed that commercial advertising should be targeted.
"If someone is advertising on campus, there's a question of propriety," said Peter Gegenheimer, SenEx member and professor of molecular biosciences. "Who pays to get rid of it? Does the University have to send out its ground crews?"
Some members said that no policy barring commercial sidewalk writings would be enforceable because people could always write at night in the cover of dark.
This led student senator Michael Henry to suggest charging a fee for firms that were advertising on the sidewalks — or a fine, depending on the vantage point.
Some SenEx members said they were edgy about touching the issue at all.
"This is just a mine field waiting for us to run out into," said Student Body President Krob Maxwell.
Charles Krider, SenEx member and professor of business, agreed.
"The more of an issue we make it, the more people are going to go out and chalk," he said.
In other business, Mary Hawkins told SenEx that a resolution passed by University Council Sept. 9 opposing the Kansas Board of Education's decision to strip evolution from state requirements had been delivered to Linda Holloway, chairwoman of the board. But the resolution had not gone to all of the local school boards across the state as had been discussed, she said.
"We decided not to bombard them with this, hoping that University Relations might be able to get some of this information out instead."
She said the resolution still could be sent to the local boards if necessary.

Comission keeps bus route plans moving
City prepares documents for bids from contractors to finalize transit system
By Derek Prater
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Plans for public transit in Lawrence keen rolling on.
City Manager Mike Wildgen said that bids would be based upon proposed service hours, which in turn are based on bus routes recommended by the Public Transit Advisory Committee. The contract specifications will be sent to 36 potential contractors.
Lawrence city commissioners took three steps toward bringing a bus system to Lawrence at last night's City Commission meeting.
Commission meeting The commission established the Department of Public Transit, authorized the mayor and city manager to submit grant applications, certifications and other appropriate documents and approved recommended public transit contract specifications. The specifications would be used to solicit bids from contractors.
Steve Klika, a consultant from KA Associates, said that more than 100 people attended the public meetings and that the firm applied the public input to the revised route structure.
A proposed bus route system was developed by KA Associates, a Wichita-based transit consulting firm. The public then scrutinized the proposed route system at open houses Sept. 9 and Sept. 13 and then a revised system was approved by the Public Transit Advisory Committee and submitted to the commission last night.
Holly Krebs, KU on Wheels coordinator, said that the revisions would be good for everyone, but that coordination between the city system and KU on Wheels still needed work.
Aaron Bartlett, city transportation planner, said that the city system would adapt and work with KU on Wheels.
after the system begins," Bartlett said. Klika said that coordinating the two systems would create the best possible service.
"That will be an ongoing process even after the system begins." Bartlett said.
"Ultimately, we'd like to see an integration of the two groups wherever possible," he said.
The proposed system reviewed by the City Commission last night has prioritized the routes and singled out two routes for possible deletion if funds do not match potential bids.
Those two routes, 1b and 6, serve parts of east and south Lawrence.
Bartlett said that the routes that would be eliminated weren't as essential or far-reaching as the others.
"We're going for the most bang for our buck." he said.
Bartlett said that about 80 percent of the start-up costs for the bus system would be paid for by grants from the Federal Transportation Administration. The rest would be handled by the city.
He said that the city was eligible for about $2.5 million from an Federal Transit Administration program dating back to 1995.
After the system was up and running, federal grants would pay for about half of the operating costs. Bartlett said.
Wildgen said that the bid process would take about four weeks and another two to three weeks to review bids and conduct interviews.

Sorority wants to raise cancer awareness
The women of Delta Delta Delta sorority will continue to wear gold ribbons this week in an effort to raise awareness for children's cancer.
Nicole Schnellbacher, Topeka junior and vice president of public relations for Delta Delta Delta, invited women in other Delta Delta Delta chapter houses throughout Kansas to participate.
She said about 450 chapter members, representing the University of Kansas, Kansas State University, Wichita State University and Baker University, were wearing ribbons this week.
Schnellbacher said the awareness campaign corresponded with the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship's Rays of Hope campaign in Washington, Saturday evening.
The event, which drew 15,000 people last year, will offer education and performances to its audience. Cancer survivors and families of cancer victims will speak about their experiences, health care and medical research.

Professors to discuss issue of pornography
Don Marquis, professor of philosophy, and Charlene Muehlenhard, professor of psychology, will lead a panel discussion about pornography, at today's University Forum at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave.
"They will explore the question of pornography because there are a diversity of opinions about it," said Thad Holcombe, pastor at ECM. "They will be looking at it from a philosophical and psychology perspectives."
Holcombe said the pair also would discuss the ethical issues surrounding pornography and the increased availability of the subject through resources such as the Internet.
The forum will begin at noon and will last for an hour with a question-and-answer session to follow the lecture. The event is free and open to all interested students, faculty and staff.

AUGUSTA—The Augusta school board has revoked a new policy that allowed students to lead classmates in silent prayer over the school intercom.
School board votes down intercom pray
The board reversed itself at a special meeting as about 100 students, parents and townpeople packed the high school library, some carrying neon-colored signs reading "So sue me" and "We will pray in school."
The policy, taken advantage of twice last week by students, was challenged by the American Civil Liberties Union as unconstitutional. It was revoked by a 4-3 vote Monday.
Kim lvy, youth group leader at an Augusta church, silently raised a sign above her head, telling school board members to "get a spine."
"I'm tired of legislative bodies telling me or anybody else that they can't pray to God anywhere," she said. "When the law of men goes against the law of God — it's not the law anymore."
Becky Weston, whose daughter attends the high school, was the only one to speak out against school prayer during the meeting. She contacted the ACLU last week and agreed to be a plaintiff if a lawsuit were to be filed.
"The kids already can pray." Weston said. "They've got absolute freedoms. I'm not sure why this has become an issue."

Trains collide; 40 injured in Maryland rail yard
CUMBERLAND, Md.— Federal investigators were sent to look into a slow-speed collision between an Amtrak train and a CSX freight train in a rail yard. Forty people were injured.
The Amtrak train, traveling from Chicago to Washington, collided just before noon Monday with the freight train, which was backing into the yard, said Kathy Burns, CSX representative.
"First there was screeching, shaking and then a solid impact, which threw me to the floor and into the seat in front of me," said passenger James Reed of Olathe.
The impact buckled the lead Amtrak locomotive and the rear freight car. All of the cars remained upright, though some dared.
The National Transportation Safety Board sent two investigators to the scene in western Maryland. They will examine recorders to see how fast the trains were moving.
Amtrak representative Debbie Hare said 141 people were aboard the Capitol Limited train, including 16 crew members.
Most of the injured were treated for minor scrapes and bruises, according to Western Maryland Health System officials. Five were hospitalized overnight and all were in good condition yesterday, representative Kathy Rogers said.
Kathie Lee apparel still uses sweatshops, committee says
NEW YORK—Three years after Kathie Lee Gifford pledged to help end labor abuses in the apparel industry, thousands of Salvadoran women still produce clothing for her label under brutal conditions, a labor rights organization said yesterday.
"I have a signed agreement by Katie Lee stating that she would never again tolerate sweatshop conditions. None of these promises have been kept," said Charles Kernaghan, head of the National Labor Committee
Bob Adler, chairman of the Kellwood Co. division that licenses the Kathie Lee line, said monitors sent to the Caribbean Apparel factory in Santa Ana, El Salvador, could not immediately substantiate allegations of major physical and psychological abuse.
Two women who once worked at the factory described 11-hour, six-day work weeks in swetering conditions for a base wage of 60 cents per hour.
A representative for Gifford could not be reached for comment.

Some note takers may be violating University policy

as one it is planning to attend and take notes. Shafael said that Versity.com never asked his permission to be in his class and post his lectures on the Web. And although there are no class notes currently online, Versity.com has not removed his class from its site.
"We're aware that there's concern by professors," said Jeff Lawson, president of the Michigan-based Versity.com.
However, he said that rather than remove a course from the site, Versity.com preferred to communicate with professors and try to work out problems the professor had with the company.
He said that the company determined whether to remove a course because of a professor's complaint on a case-by-case basis.
In the meantime, he defended students' use of commercial note taking.
"We want a professor who has a concern to talk with us," Lawson said.
"It allows students to learn, because they don't have to concentrate on scribbling down every word," he said.
"I think not taking notes is a sure way not to learn material," he said.
Shaftel said he saw it differently.
Dailey agreed.
"If I thought teaching wasn't about anything more than giving notes, I'd choose a different profession," Dailey said. "Probably plumbing — they make more money."

Grad School dean to retire in July
By Chris Barniger
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Graduate students will lose an administrator when Andrew Debicki, dean of the Graduate School and International Programs, retires next summer.
Debicki's retirement will be effective July 30, 2000. A university distinguished professor, he will continue teaching and researching in the Spanish and Portuguese and Humanities and Western Civilization departments.
"I feel very fortunate to have had such a long career at KU," Debicki said. "I've been able to develop my teaching and research career at a school where the atmosphere was just right for me."
A native of Cuba, Debicki earned
his Ph.D. from Yale University in 1960. He came to the University of Kansas as a professor in Spanish
a n d
Portuguese in
1968. He has
written eight
books and
received

and National

Center fellowships.
In addition to his current

position, he has been director of the Hall Center for the Humanities
and vice chancellor of Research and Graduate Studies.
Debicki, 65, said he wanted more time to spend with his family and to continue at the University in a lesser capacity.
John Scarfe, director of communications for the Kansas University Endowment Association, said Debicki's contributions as a teacher and benefactor showed his commitment to the University and its students.
"I'm getting a little old to work 70 hours a week," he said. "It's an overwhelming job, but I've accomplished most of what I want to accomplish."
"I think that as an individual, he cares not only about his programs, he cares about the access students have to a good education," Scarffa said.
Provost David Shulenburger said he expected to announce a committee to search for Debicki's replacement within the next few weeks.
Partha Mazumdar, executive director of the Graduate and Professional Association, said he was extremely saddened by Debicki's pending retirement. Debicki acted as adviser to the association.
"I'm quite crushed, to be perfectly frank," Mazumdar said. "No matter who replaces him, it's a loss for the University. Sometimes you replace a Joe DiMaggio with a Mickey Mantle. Then again, Mickey Mantle was replaced by Joe Pepitone."
Who's Joe Peptone?
"Exactly." Mazumda said.

Yellow tag spaces added this summer
By Erinn R. Barcomb Special to the Kansan
Students with yellow parking permits gained 232 new parking spaces in lot 90 behind Robinson Center this summer.
"It was something we needed to get done quickly," said Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking. "It was so important to get it done before school started."
Room for the new spaces was created by expanding, resurfacing and restriping parts of the lot. "It looked like somewhere we had some spaces," she said. "It's been our policy to see what we have existing, and see what we can do with that."
Hultine said the parking department's intention was to work on the entire lot, but the expense was too great. The 232 new spaces cost $404,800.
The lot was expanded to the east by removing a row of trees that bordered the lot.
The trees that were removed were approaching senescence, meaning they were at the end of their lives, said Mike Richardson, director of facilities operations.
Hultine said the poor condition of the trees contributed to the appeal of adding to lot 90.
To accommodate lighting for the addition, another group of trees was removed.
"Esthetics aside, the primary reason was because the installation of new lights meant that they would have to be trimmed so severely they wouldn't have been safe." Richardson said. "They couldn't have staved up."
Because of the angles at which the spaces were painted, part of the lot used to be a fire lane for Watkins Memorial Health Center. The new 90 degree angle spaces give fire trucks room to get through, but allow for more parking spaces.
Despite the new spaces, a shortage of yellow zone parking spots still exists. This year, 5,508 yellow permits have been sold for 5,276 yellow zone spaces, Hultine said. She said construction on the new education building and the stadium had affected the number of spaces available.

Watkins to sponsor fair
Students will get chance to know center, staff
By Amber Steuerw
writer@kansan.com
Kansas st writer
Watkins Memorial Health Center will extend its services out of the examination rooms and labs to the sidewalk at its 12th annual health fair today and tomorrow.
The fair, which has a "Tune into Your Health" theme, will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. both days on the west side of Watkins. There will be 18 booths sponsored by Watkins staff members from the lab, pharmacy, x-ray department, Counseling and Psychological Services and other University staff members.
"We're getting the employees out there working in a different capacity," said Julie Francis, Watkins health educator. "It's a great opportunity for them to get out and meet students in a positive, upbeat atmosphere."
Francis said that in the past the most popular booths had been the food and beverage table, the station featuring body fat analysis and a station sponsored by CAPS where students could make stress balls.
Students also can get nutrition profiles and have blood pressure and cholesterol levels checked. At another station they can see the world through the eyes of a drunken person with a blood alcohol level

The theme is incorporated by naming the booths with song titles. The CAPS booth will be called "Take it easy," and the immunization table will be called "Hit me with your best shot."
Students will be eligible to receive door prizes if they visit nine "song tracts," have a CD label initialized at each station and complete an evaluation of the fair.
Carol Seager, Watkins director, said the main purpose of the fair was to get students to Watkins to become acquainted with the center and the staff.
Francis said they usually saw 800 to 2,000 students at the fair, depending on the weather. Last year, 1,200 attended the fair.
The fair is free to all students, faculty and staff.

Boxing should be uniformly regulated
When Randie Carver died last Tuesday of severe brain damage received in a boxing match two days earlier, a ringing condemnation was levelled at a sport that already has had its fair share of problems. Carver's death cannot be blamed on any one person, but rather must be shouldered by the entire boxing industry and a society that sits idly by as individuals are ruined for the sake of entertainment.
Randie Carver was, by all accounts, a tremendous role model. He had pulled himself out of poverty and hoped to use his position to help others in the community. A graduate of Westport High School in Kansas City, he had a special connection with the children in Kansas City who grew up like him. Carver, unlike others in his profession, would not let celebrity overwhelm his strong commitment to organizations such as
Untimely deaths and other physical injuries too common
Big Brothers/Big Sisters.
Carver loved the sport of boxing, but unfortunately the sport only was able to reciprocate a cold, and ultimately deadly, silence. Many claim that the "sweet science" has lost much of its luster through incidents of ear biting, cheating and fight fixing. The death of Randie Carver is not another sign of boxing's decline. It is a vivid reminder of what this sport always will do. Whether it is the sight of Muhammad Ali with physical problems caused by this sport or the premature death of a local hero, boxing is meant to destroy human beings.
Now is the time for boxing to reform itself. First, there are too many differences in the way boxing is governed in this country. From state to state, there are different standards for stopping fights. Perhaps if Kabary Salem, Carver's opponent, was disqualified earlier for repeated head butts, Carver would be alive. Perhaps if head gear was required no fighter would suffer severe mental debilitation.
The responsibility for Carver's death also falls on all the people that support boxing. Carver boxed because it was a way out of poverty. As long as there is an interested public, boxers will line up to receive their cut of the enormous amount of money generated by the sport. The sure way to stop boxing is to stop watching. Paying to watch boxing means paying to watch someone risk his or her life. In Carver's case, people paid to witness an execution. The time has come to end these horrible tragedies.

Perspective
New Web site for notes offers help for sick, lazy
I can't America great? Not only do we have the opportunity to go to a fine center of learning like the University of Kansas, but now we also have the chance to avoid stepping foot on campus.
Elizabeth Peacock columnist
I thank you, America, for giving students the freedom to openly swap notes within the global community, that is, the
community that is the Internet
PRESIDENT
Thank you, Oran Wolf,
student from the
University of Texas at
Austin, for creating studentu.com so that slackers everywhere can sklp lectures and still get the valuable notes they need. You and others like you have revolutionized the college notes industry.
"In't this kind of immoral?" you ask. Well, not really. The lecture notes for the University of Kansas only are available for 16 classes. The majority of these are for introductory classes, but a few are still under construction. (Sorry, BIOL 100 students, you're going to have to wait a little longer.) Besides, no one said that the notes were good. They could have been taken by a C-student who just really needed the cash. (Students get paid $300 to post notes throughout the semester.)
On top of all this, most classes don't base everything on just the lecture. There are labs for most science classes, and discussion classes for all those social science and humanities requirements. Some lecture classes take attendance, either daily or periodically, for class credit; others give pop quizzes or even exam questions to encourage students to attend. For most classes, lecture does not even play a significant role in grading. Most professors do not take attendance, and if they do, it's not a big part of your grade. Most rely on term papers, midterms and finals to determine your grade.
When our parents were in college, they had to borrow or buy notes from the "brains" in their classes.
So you're pretty much taking your chances with studentu.com. Either you don't get any notes or you risk getting bad notes, and you still may be stuck with four-hour labs and discussions. That is if you actually want to pass your classes and eventually graduate.
When our older brothers and sisters were attending, they could only find notes as recent as the previous semester from Jon's Notes. But now we may not only find notes for our particular class and professor, but we also can have yesterday's notes in hand in a matter of minutes — from the convenience of our bedroom (or bed, if you have a laptop). Now you can go to a lecture without even leaving your horizontal position. Isn't life grand?
Oh sure, professors everywhere claim that the Web site will decrease attendance at lectures, infringe on their right to own their lectures by making the lecture public without their consent, and devalue their worth as professors.
On the other hand, you could always just get off your butt and go to class.
But Wolf just wanted to help out those students sick in bed that had to skip class or risk infecting their fellow classmates and honored
faculty. He wanted to help out those students who need supplemental notes for studying or just needed a place to confirm that they really were getting what they needed out of the lecture.
But now the information is free for all to use, so I say, get hooked up and go for it.

American student protests a force for campus freedom
"Student protests delay the beginning of fall semester." This headline was
When I was a freshman at Federal University in Brazil in 1996, I had to endure a three-month strike that almost devastated my semester. For the students' benefit,
in the Kansan on Aug. 10th, referring to the strike started by students at the National Autonomous University in Mexico. Maybe it shocked many University of Kansas students; however, this is a common reality for Latin American students.
our teachers, after being threatened by the Brazilian government, spent a good part of the summer helping us recover the classes we had lost. So we didn't lose the entire academic year.
PRESIDENT
I couldn't blame those teachers for starting that strike, because missing out on three months of school seemed like a small sacrifice to improve their miserable salaries.
Cássio
Furtado
columnist
opinion@kansan.com
At institutions like the Nationa Autonomous University or Federal University, students don't pay tuition because the schools are regulated by the federal governments of their countries. But in most cases the countries do not really want to educate people, so they do not spend very much of their budgets on education. They do this because most Latin American countries were, until a couple of decades ago, ruled by dictators. Many continue to be governed by dictators wearing the masks of democratic leaders, so citizens have very little voice in education funding.
So I don't blame the students at the National Autonomous University for starting the strike. Students said, "We close the university today so that tomorrow it can be open to all," and this truly reflects the roots of the movement. They started the
movement when their rector, Francisco Castro, started to give clear indications he would raise tuition from two cents to $160 a year. The problem lies in the students' claim that in countries such as Mexico, as in Brazil, higher education supposedly is free, as stated in the countries' constitutions. So the university cannot charge students for admission.
The rector doesn't receive enough funds from the government to fund education and to pay a reasonable salary to teachers, and he doesn't receive tuition from his students. The situation is really very difficult. Worse, the country's constitution does not allow him to make contracts with private companies to fund his university. So what can he do?
I can't blame Castro, since he is powerless in this situation. Castro withdrew his proposal for a tuition increase, hoping that students would come back to class and everything would go back to its regular pace. But he was wrong. Students remained on strike, now demanding more participation in their university.
In most cases, Latin American universities don't have student participation. They don't have a student senate as we do; they don't have a strong newspaper as we have here; and the student body presidents at these universities are nothing but the puppets of a system that leaves them powerless.
The government is the only one to be blamed in this case, as it was in my time as a student in Brazil. Latin American governments don't want to educate their youth because these governments will remain in power only as long as they can lie to their people and make this lie seem like the truth. For the benefit of the entire population, this must no longer be accepted by Latin American citizens. They must protest and use the movement at the National Autonomous University as an example of what a student movement should be: an example of dignity, solidarity and strength when fighting to achieve an objective.

Online petition could save Lazer
Last week, the Lazer (105.9 FM) changed formats from modern rock to Top 40, thereby abandoning its entire listener base. Add to this a lack of another area modern rock station and you end up with fans like me without a station to listen to. This move can also be expected to hurt local businesses in the modern rock scene due to a loss of interest in the community. Furthermore, since the Lazer's new Top 40 listeners will likely not be interested in local music,
these musicians will be struck a blow as the Lazer's support for them disappears.

then maybe — just maybe — they will revert back to modern rock.
But there is still hope. I have put together an online petition to educate the Lazer on the community it has so carefully separated itself from. You can help by pointing your Web browser to http://www.virtex.org/lazer, entering your name and e-mail address (if you have one), and pressing submit. This will add your name to the petition and send an e-mail to the Lazer for you. With enough signatures, perhaps the Lazer will come to realize just how strong the modern rock/local music following is here, and

Arts center unveils plans
Derek Prater
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A new home for the Lawrence Arts Center is on its way to becoming a reality after last night's Lawrence City Commission meeting.
City commissioners took a peek at preliminary designs and sent them to the Historic Resources Commission for review.
Ann Evans, Lawrence Arts Center executive director, said the center's board of directors was excited about the preliminary design.
"We love it," Evans said
Marilyn Dobski, arts center board member, presented the preliminary plans to the City Commission.
She said the board and arts center staff would continue to work with the architect to finalize the plans.
The new building is being developed in accord with the Downtown 2000 redevelopment
project for the 900 block of New Hampshire Street. The center will be located near the middle of the east side of the block.
east side of town. Downtown 2000 consists of both commercial and public projects including retail, office and apartment space, as well as public parking and the new arts center. Dale Glenn, from Glenn Livingood Penzler Architects, worked on the arts center design and said he was comfortable with the direction the project was taking.
"It needs to have an identity of its own," he said. "I think it will set itself apart as an arts center."
The three-level building will be about 46,000 square feet, Glenn said. Plans include a performance stage, galleries, a ceramics studio and dance halls.
Evans said that the new center would quadruple the gallery space from its current home at the former Carnegie Library, 200 W. Ninth St.
Although the library has been home to the arts center for about 25 years, the additional space is much needed, Evans said.
The building's cost is about $6.6 million, $3.6 million of which the city will pay. The rest is the responsibility of the arts center.
"It needs to have an identity of its own.I think it will set itself apart as an arts center."
Dale Glenn
Architect
Evans said that about half of the $3 million that was needed had already been raised and that fund-raising efforts were continuing.
The total investment in the Downtown 2000 project is about $27 million, with about $17 million being invested by the city for infrastructure, parking and the arts center.
The rest of the roughly $10 million will be invested by private developers led by Lawrence businessman Jeff Shmalberg.
Alvin's Wine & Spirits
Mayor Erv Hodges said that design plans for the arts center would probably be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission at its Oct. 21 meeting.
- Edited by Jamie Knodel
Evans said that if all went as planned, work could begin on the project sometime next summer.

Film series retains humor
Organizers use popular movies to explore past
By Erinn R. Barcomb Special to the Kansan
Taking its cue from the increase in last year's turnout, this semester's line-up for the humanities and western civilization film series will continue to be more modern and comedic than in previous years.
"Last year we went to a popular film series," said Joel Morton, senior instructor of the humanities and western civilization program. "The hope is to draw more people in."
Morton said that between 30 and 40 students showed up at each film last year, a substantial increase from the year before.
Last year, in response to a low student turnout for the films, the series' organizer stopped showing educational and documentary films and switched strategy.
The first film in this semester's series will be an adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey. Ulysses is a
1954 Italian film starring Kirk Douglas and Anthony Quinn. While Douglas and Quinn speak English in the film, the English of the Italian actors is poorly dubbed.
Although the film has close ties with western civilization classes, Morton stressed the humorous side of it as well.
"It has a lot of fun stuff in it, including Kirk Douglas battling the drunken Cyclops," he said, giving an example of special effects of the 1950s.
Although the classes do not read The Odyssey, Morton said the film offered a good lead-in to other ancient Greek works studied in western civilization classes.
"It's like one of those Japanese sci-fi films," Morton said.
"They offer a contemporary, popular representation of ancient times in modern times," he said. "It is important to see what we think about them as opposed to the previous generation."
Morton cited an example from Ulysses where institutionalized homosexuality was not mentioned because of the social mores of the 1950s.
"After recent scholarship, we know better," he said.
Although the series is aimed at western civilization students, anyone is welcome.
"We'd love it if any student on campus wanted to stop by," Morton said.
The film will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 30 at 3139 Wescoe Hall. The event is free. Other films in the fall series are Monty Python and the Holy Grail Oct.21 and Elizabeth Nov.18.
Morton said the spring series would probably begin with a screening of Star Wars.
"We're encouraging our teaching staff to offer extra credit for attending the screening and writing a short essay on it," he said.
Anne Daugherty, a western civilization discussion leader, said she probably would offer her students extra credit.
"It's part of popular culture in terms of films," she said. "It's one person's interpretation of what we're looking at."
For questions about the series, Morton can be reached at 864-3013 or at his office in 1029 Wescoe Hall.
"We encourage the students to watch the films critically, not only for pleasure," he said.

Revolution protests new KLZR
By Emily Hughey
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
After a few months of peace, the revolution is back.
This time, instead of setting its sites on a University of Kansas-related cause like in past years, the Templin Revolution is opening fire on the Lazer.
Templin Revolution, a student organization that historically has crusaded for students' causes and rights, is now fighting the format change at KLZR, 105.9 FM, from modern rock to Top-40 hits.
Two students behind the revolution, Brian Bartelt and J.D. Jenkins, noticed discontentment among the University population regarding the Lazer and decided to take action two days ago. By the end of the week, they plan to launch a full-scale boycott and protest against the Lazer's new programming.
The group plans to organize protests, create T-shirts, boycott Lazer advertisers and ultimately affect change in the Zimmer Broadcasting Co., the company that owns KLZR.
"It's something we're optimistic about," said Jenkins, Shawnee junior. "Templin Revolution has been looking for a project to get involved in, and I think this one looks good for this semester."
"The ultimate goal of our actions right now is to get the Lazer to revert to its old format," said Bartelt, West Des Moines, Iowa, junior.
Bartelt said he developed the idea to fight the Lazer's new music format upon noticing students' chargin with the line-up.
"We're still very much in the formative stages, but we're hoping to distribute information widely across campus about things people can do." Bartelt said. "We're interested in help — we want people to
know we're doing this, and we need some support. I don't think it will be too hard to get help, since I hear on campus that people are mad."
Walter Dimmick, associate professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, is one such angry person. He and Nancy Holcroft, Overland Park graduate student, created an anti-Lazer Web site, eagle.cc.ukans.edu/~dimmick/Lozer.html, to inform visitors of the businesses that advertise on KLZR. The site asks people to boycott both the Lazer and the businesses that advertise on the station. He said he thought 105.9 FM's transition signaled a falling down of traditional Lawrence originality.
"I think people in Lawrence should be upset because Lawrence prides itself on being a town with unique businesses," Dimmick said. "A little bit of Lawrence's pride just went down the drain."
Nevertheless, Templin
Revolution is serious about changing things.
Although he said he was not aware of the revolution's role in protesting the Lazer, Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said he was familiar with the revolution's work in other areas. Stoner dealt with the three Templin Revolutionaries, Bartelt, Jenkins and Chris Borniger, Wichita junior and a University Daily Kansan staff writer, when the group protested inflated phone bills in Templin last year. He said he thought the revolution was an intelligent and capable group, but he did not know enough about the issue to comment on its capacity to enact change.
"I know all three of those young men." Stoner said. "I think all three of them are very bright, very intelligent, very involved people."
Representatives from KLZR were unable to be reached for comment.

Famous folk-rock guitarist to play gig at Liberty
By Clay McCuistion writer @kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Richard Thompson has released more than two dozen albums.
The 50-year-old British singer/songwriter has played his distinctive, folk-tinged rock for three decades and has been nominated for two Grammy awards in the 1990s. The Sept. 7 issue of Rolling Stone magazine describes him as, "one of rock's most original, stunning and frequently disturbing artists."
But for all his critical kudos and experience, Thompson has remained resolutely out of the mainstream.
"I don't know what drives people, why some acts are hits and others not," said Tim Griffith, manager of Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St. "He just loves playing music."
Thompson will play at 8 p.m. tomorrow, as part of his U.S. tour. Tickets still are available for the show.
"One of his successes is that he hasn't gone mainstream," Crahan said. "He's widely respected by many guitar players."
Bill Crahan, Lawrence resident and guitar teacher, said that Thompson's cult status was good for his music.
Crahan has tickets for tomorrow night's show.
"I think he's a great player," he said.

Why: New album, Mock Tudor, on Capitol Records
Griffith said Thompson had appeared four times at Liberty hall, most recently two or three years ago.
"He must like it here," Griffith said. "We were one of the smaller venues he picked. We're kind of in the middle of the country. You either go over or through us."
Thompson released his latest solo album, Mock Tudor, Aug. 25 on Capitol Records. The 12-song collection was produced by Tom Rothrock and Rob Schnapf, who have previously worked with Beck, the Foo Fighters and Elliot Smith.
BENNY FARRELL
Despite promotion and touring by Thompson, the album has not charted on the Billboard top 200 album chart.
Thompson, also a dulcimer and mandolin player, first came to prominence in the late 1960s as a member of the seminal folk-rock group Fairport Convention. He left the group in 1971.
In the mid-70s, he formed a duo with wife Linda. The pair made six albums, including 1982's harrowing Shoot Out the Lights, documenting the end of their marriage.

Quake toll hits 1,712 in Taiwan
Thousands trapped, 100,000 homeless after massive temblor
The Associated Press
TAIPEI, Taiwan— Twenty-four hours after a powerful earthquake hit Taiwan, toppling high-rise buildings and destroying homes across the island, rescue workers pulled bodies from the ruins one by one. The death toll topped 1,700 early yesterday.
More than 100,000 Taiwanese were left homeless by the quake, which shook millions awake at 1:45 a.m. yesterday (12:45 p.m. CDT Monday), buckled roads, severed bridges and cut off electric service
by early Wednesday, officials said 1,712 people were dead, more than 4,000 were hurt and almost 3,000 were thought to be trapped in the rubble. Another 216 were missing, according to the Interior Ministry's disaster management center.
"We're pulling the dead out one by one, but it's hard to get an overall picture of the number of fatalities," said Chen Wen-hsiun, a rescue official in the central city of Fengyuan. In the hills above the city, a concrete Buddhist temple folded in on itself during the quake, killing at least three people.
With a preliminary magnitude of 7.6, the quake was about the same strength as the devastating temblor that killed more than 15,000 people in Turkey last month.
The quake's epicenter was 90 miles south of Taipei, near the central city of Taichung. More than 700 people died in Taichung County and about 500 died in nearby Nantou County. The area has seen a burst of development in recent years, often shoddlily constructed.
Chinese President Jiang Zemin extended condolences following the quake, and offered aid to quake victims, even though the disaster occurred at a time of tense relations between China and Taiwan. China considers Taiwan a breakaway province.
"(The quake) hurt the hearts of people on the mainland as the Chinese people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are as closely linked as flesh and blood," according to China's state-run Xinhua News agency in a paraphrase of Jiang's remarks. China's Red Cross said it would provide $100,000 in disaster aid and $60,000 in relief supplies.
Most of the structures that collapsed in Taiwan were new high-rises. The foundations of some of the apartment blocks in the cities crumpled into piles of concrete boulders, sending the structures crashing into neighboring buildings. Soldiers raced out of buildings with bloodied victims moaning in pain on stretchers.
Nantou County Executive Peng Paishsen appealed for donations of bulldozers, cars, quilts and food, saying 100,000 people were left homeless in the county. He said morgues were full of bodies, and the county needed body bags and freezers in the summer heat.
One distraught woman told local television her parents were trapped in a Taichung apartment building.
"I don't know what happened to my dad and mom," said the sobbing survivor. "We live in different rooms. I haven't seen them."
In the small city of Puli in Nantou, roads buckled under the stress of the quake, forming large asphalt waves. An apartment building that lost its foundation was left leaning 45 degrees.
But Taipei, with a 2.7 million population, was spared much of the damage. The government called off work and school across the island, leaving the capital's normally congested streets relatively empty.
President Lee Teng-hui flew by helicopter to Taichung to direct rescue work, while Vice President Lien Chan went to Nantou.
the quake was Taiwan's worst since a 7.4 magnitude temblor hit the island in 1935, killing 3,276 people. Taiwan is hit by dozens of quakes each year, but most are centered in the Pacific Ocean east of the island and rarely cause damage.
Israeli prime minister stresses peace with Syria
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM—Speaking at a memorial for Israeli soldiers killed in the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Prime Minister Ehud Barak appealed to Syria yesterday to negotiate what he called a peace of the brave, and prevent further bloodshed.
However, Barak's foreign minister, David Levy, who until recently was upbeat about the prospects of peace with Syria, said the Syrian position was hardening.
"Syria is becoming more intransigent," Levy told Israel radio. "It is raising the level of its demands."
Both leaders spoke before leaving on trips in which restarting Israeli-Syrian negotiations will play an important role. Barak flew to Germany yesterday and then will go to France. Both nations are involved in U.S.-led efforts to revive the peace talks.
peace talks. Levy left for New York, where he was to address the U.N. General Assembly. Levy said that he understood that the United States would try to arrange a meeting in New York between him and his Syrian counterpart, Farouk Sharaa.
In his election campaign, Barak said his aim during his four-year term of office was to achieve peace with Syria, Lebanon and the Palestinians. Israel-Syrian negotiation
tions have been suspended since February 1996.
1990
"To our Syrian neighbors, who also suffered many losses in the Yom Kippur War, we say: This is the time for the peace of the brave," Barak said. "Enough of wars! Enough of bloodshed!"
Though of blood, Barak has made similar appeals in the past, including in his first speech as prime minister to Israel's parliament in July when he urged the region's leaders to negotiate peace treaties with Israel.
the peace. Israel and Syria disagree on the terms for resuming negotiations. Syria maintains that the late Israeli Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin, promised to withdraw from the entire Golan Heights, which Israel captured from Syria in the 1967 war. Syria's president, Hafez Assad, insists the negotiations must resume from the point where they were broken off.
Israel says Rabin made no such promise but merely asked what kind of peace Assad was prepared to give if Israel did give back the Golan Heights.
Barak wishes to retain certain areas on the lower slopes of the Golan, where some of Israel's water sources lie. Levy expressed disappointment with recent Syrian statements and said that officials in Damascus insisted on recovering all of the land right down to the shores of the Sea of Galilee.

University in South Africa will apologize to med students
The Associated Press
JOHANNESBURG. South Africa—In the twisted world of apartheid, Black medical students weren't even considered good enough to examine white cadavers.
The handful admitted to apartheid-era medical schools were denied specialist training, cordoned off in separate changing rooms and dining halls and thrown out of lectures. Only in the 1980s were they allowed to see white patients — but not in gynecological or obstetrics wards.
Now, five years after the end of white minority rule, the nation's leading medical school is doing something rare in post-apartheid South Africa: issuing an apology for the mistreatment of Black people.
Administrators at the health sciences faculty of the University of the Witwatersrand recently completed a draft apology. In the coming weeks they will circulate it for approval among the 150-member faculty board. The text will accompany a plaque to be unveiled on the campus in February, said Yosuf Veriava, deputy dean at the university.
"A lot of the hurt by our Black colleagues and students can only be healed with an emotional response," said Trevor Jenkins, the retired head of the human genetics department. Cited by the commission report for his resistance to apartheid, Jenkins had a hand in drafting the apology.
"To say sorry in the right context, with an emotional component, will bring what we all want — healing," he said.
Black leaders have made the same plea. A year ago, the revered chairman of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission — Nobel Peace Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu — appealed in a widely published commentary for white leaders to say, "We had a bad policy that had evil consequences. We are sorry. Please forgive us."
Senate votes to bypass embargo
U.S. could export food and medicine to barred Cuba
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—With pressure from the farm lobby, a coalition of liberals and conservative lawmakers hopes to open a hole in the 40-year-old trade embargo against Cuba that would allow the sale of U.S. food and medical supplies.
The Senate overwhelmingly approved an amendment last month to a must-pass agricultural spending bill that would allow licensing of such exports. The provision is likely to be a major issue as House and Senate negotiators try to work out the final version of the appropriations measure this week.
"We need to have freedom to
market products from our agricultural sectors with any and all customers," said Rep. George Nethercutt, R-Wash.
The Clinton administration decided this summer to allow sales of food and medicine to three other countries listed as terrorist states — Iran, Libya and Sudan — but was barred by law from including Cuba.
The Senate provision, whose co-sponsors include conservative Sen. John Ashcroft, R-Mo., and liberal Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., would allow the government to issue licenses for up to one year for food and medicine sales to public institutions in Cuba but would bar the Agriculture Department from subsidizing them.
The legislation also would prohibit the president from including food and medicine in future embargoes of other countries without congressional approval.
"This is something that has
absolutely been pushed onto the radar screen by the ag lobby groups," said Jose Cardenas, Washington director for the Cuban American National Foundation. "They've been playing this for all it's worth, that Mr. and Mrs. Family Farmer are being pushed off their farms."
Negotiations on the spending bill were scheduled to start this evening. In addition to the trade measure, lawmakers also have to work out a multibillion-dollar bailout for the farm economy. The Senate approved a $7.4 billion package of farm assistance in August, but farm organizations are seeking more.
Farm groups and agribusinesses are clamoring to move a glut of grain that has depressed commodity prices for the second year in a row, and they've been pressuring Congress and the Clinton administration to remove all barriers to food exports.
U.S. to stand by Pakistani constitution
Officials warn military leaders against ousting Prime Minister
The Associated Press
NEW YORK—The Clinton administration is sending a quiet message to military leaders in Pakistan designed to head off any effort by them to oust Prime Minister Nawaz Sarif because of his handling of the Kashmir crisis.
"We believe the Pakistani military remains committed to support the constitution," said State Department spokesman James P. Rubin yesterday.
Rubin, with Secretary of State Madeleine Albright for a special session of the U.N. General Assembly, stressed that U.S. support for democracy in Pakistan transcended advocacy for any particular political figure.
At the same time, though, senior U.S. officials are signaling some worry that the military may get out of line. Consequently, Rubin said the United States opposed any extraconstitutional actions.
"The United States favors the strengthening of democracy in Pakistan." he said.
In addition to discontent in the military, Prime Minister Sharif faces relentless protests from political opponents, who have formed a grand alliance to depose
him.
U. S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the Clinton administration had seen no threat of imminent subversion of the democratic process in Pakistan. Nonetheless, they said, indications of potential instability have prompted the administration's reaffirmation of support for the constitutional processes.
they noted that there have been suggestions within Pakistan for the military to replace Sharif with a government of technocrats. One of Sharif's biggest problems is a plummeting economy.
Sharif's problems with the military stem largely from his promise to President Clinton to withdraw Pakistani troops at the height of the summertime crisis with India because of Kashmir.
While expressing a strong preference for democracy in Pakistan, the United States has shown an ability in the past to work well with military governments. An example was the martial-law rule of President Mohammad Zia ul-Haq.
Political leaders opposed to Sharif have promised demonstrations throughout the country to depose him. He has imposed a two-month ban on demonstrations in the southern Sindh province, where the party of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto is strong. She has been removed from power twice on corruption charges.

"The stuff that one finds is genetically amplified, hydroponically enhanced, THC-saturated banana buds almost as big around as your forearm."
Joel
KU student
Half-baked
Pot culture goes underground in previously liberal Lawrence
n the preface to the book Cows Are Freaky When They Look at You, editors refer to Lawrence in the '60s and '70s as "the hotbed of Kansas hip."
They write about wild marijuana growing on the outskirts of wheatfields and rehash hallucinogenic tales of a group of Lawrence hippies that called themselves the Kaw Valley Hemp Pickers. Although sex and drugs still are the rage, caution is the name of the game these days. Safe sex is a must, and dope smokers have taken their pastime underground to avoid jail time.
Mark Creamer, one half of the "Honk for Hemp" duo who stages peaceful protests for marijuana legalization on Massachusetts Street, said that the attitudes about marijuana were more lax when he was in college.
"I was here in 1970," he said. "We would smoke pot at twelfth and Oread. People would lie on blankets and smoke on that corner, and the caps wouldn't bother us."
But times have changed—and so have police attitudes about marijuana.
The cops put Creamer in jail in 1989, when he tried to express his viewpoint by walking into the Lawrence police station and smoking a joint. He was sentenced to six months behind bars as a result.
With the nation fighting the "War in Drugs," people don't want their names linked with a story about marijuana.
Joe, a 30-something University of Kansas student, had information to share about the prevalence of marijuana usage, but only under the condition that he remain anonymous.
In 1986, Joel, who is still at the University, lived in Joseph R. Pearson Hall, which used to be an all-male residence hall. He said there were at least a couple rooms on each wing that were dope-friendly.
"If someone was home, they were probably in there bongin' it up," Joel said. "Towels under the doors, and often times — when we got smart — little flexi-plastic tubes that ran out the windows to blow out your exhalations. As always, if you brought your own, you were always welcome: 'A friend with weed is a friend indeed.'"
Joel said that one of the biggest changes in marijuana culture that he had seen during the last decade had been an increase in people who grew their own pot.
"Indoor growing operations have proliferated in the '90s across the country," he said. "The stuff that one finds is genetically amplified, hydroponically enhanced, THC-saturated banana buds almost as big around as your forearm."
Three years ago, Student Union Activities brought Steven Hager, editor of High Times magazine and a legalization advocate to speak at the Kansas Union ballroom.
Cameron Popp, president of SUA, said that inviting a similar speaker was not a priority. He said that student interest seemed to be waning and that people were tired of the legalization argument.
Popp's observations about student interest might be true. Activism on campus seems to have declined in the last several years. In the past, a
photo by christina neff
chapter of the National Organization for Reform of Marijuana Laws has been at the University. Thomas Trower, the second half of the "Honk for Hemp" duo, said that KU NORML was hard to keep going because of the transitional nature of the University. He also said that students left the group when they failed to achieve immediate results.
"They would get together to go do something, and they would sit around and get high first, so they never made it to where they were going," Trower
said.
Despite the lack of activism on campus, Jennifer Conoley, Overland Park senior, said that she thought marijuana was prevalent at the University. She said she assumed everyone she met smoked pot until she found out otherwise.
Marijuana usage still may be widespread in Lawrence, but the days of lying on blankets and tokin' it up in the open air seem to have become part of the nostalgia of looking back on past decades.
I'll see you in a year.

County officers smell and stop the marijuana
By Katie Hollar writer@kansan.com Kansan staff worker
A noisy German shepherd named Blue has a nose for trouble — drug trouble.
He's the Douglas County sherriff's drug-sniffing K-9 unit, and he's just one of the county's resources to counter marijuana's presence in Lawrence.
Four full-time officers from the Lawrence Police Department and Douglas County Sheriff's Office man the drug-enforcement unit that conducts investigations in Lawrence.
Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence Police Department said the force employed a variety of equipment in drug investigations. In addition to Blue, officers use "narco-kits," portable cases that test confiscated substances.
Police also know several tactics for detecting marijuana growers. One indicator was a rapidly spinning electric meter in winter because a great deal of energy must be devoted to heating and lighting the plants, Wheeler said.
Massey said about 10 percent of the unit's investigations involved marijuana. Most of its work involves methamphetamine or crack cocaine, he said.
Kansas law classifies possession of marijuana as a Class A misdemeanor. District Attorney Christine Tonkovich said it was punishable by one year in the county jail and a fine up to $2,500. A second conviction is upgraded to a felony.
But diversion doesn't come cheap.
Some offenders can qualify for a diversion program. Diversion excuses jail time and erases the crime from the record for applicants with no history of prior offenses.
Depending on the case, total costs for diversion can range from $378 to more than $835, said Renee Karr, diversion coordinator. Community service hours, from 10 to 100 hours, also are assigned.
But the high cost of convictions doesn't deter some Lawrence residents from toking up.
"We've always had problems with marijuana," Wheeler said. "It continues."

Jayhawks live or die by turnovers
Kansas ranks No.1 in turnover margin
By Mike Miller
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Special teams win football games. Any coach will say it.
They also talk about turnovers and defensive scores. Dominate those facets of a football game and success should follow.
The talk has been backed up.
Before Kansas played Notre Dame, coach Terry Allen talked about winning the special teams battle. He talked about it again before the Cal State Northridge game and before the Colorado game last Saturday.
Kansas has been great on special teams this year, whether it is on punt returns, kick-off returns or blocking kicks, Kansas has had a little bit of each
this season. Throw in a defensive score and suddenly, turnovers and big plays can quickly put a team back in a game.
"Returning a kick off or punt for a touchdown can really deflate a team," said senior Tim Bowers. "It's such a big play because the defense or the offense doesn't get a chance to respond."
Case in point — Colorado.
Midway through the third quarter, Kansas was down 33-3. All of a sudden, the Jayhawks recovered a Buffalo fumble, scored a touchdown, then blocked a punt and recovered the ball in the end zone two minutes later.
Suddenly, Kansas was 14 points closer.
"We had our chances when it was 33-17," Allen said.
But it works both ways.
Colorado scored, recovered a Kansas fumble and scored a field
goal. The trend continued when Kansas junior kick returner Carl Nesmith ran back a kickoff 97 yards, which seemed to give Kansas some momentum again.
Then Colorado defensive back Ben Kelly picked up a Kansas fumble and sprinted 96 yards for another Colorado touchdown.
It was the story of the day: special teams, turnovers and defensive scores are critical to a team's success. Kansas has had success with all of those aspects of the game. The Jayhawks have forced nine turnovers in the first three games of the year, making them ninth in the NCAA and first in the Big 12 in turnover margin.
It's just that the opponents also have been successful in forcing turnovers, which is one of the reasons Kansas is 1-2.
"We've been putting the ball on the ground too much," Allen said. "Our turnovers are horrendous. Being plus one on turnovers is amazing because we've fumbled six times. The two interceptions I can handle, the disappointment is putting the ball on the ground."
Allen's teams have had success with special teams and defensive scores during the last two years, but this season could be the best.
Kansas has scored three times this season on defense and special teams. Henri Childs returned a punt 72 yards for a touchdown against Northridge, Bowers recorded the first Kansas safety in four years and blocked a punt against Colorado, which was recovered for a touchdown by senior Greg Erb.
And Nesmith ranks second in the NCAA in kickoff returns, averaging 40 yards per return — something that the Jayhawks say can be invaluable for a team.
"It's something that can turn the tide at a big point of the
game." Bowers said.
Four Jayhawks were injured during the Colorado game, but only two of them will miss Saturday's game against San Diego State.
Running back David Winbush, who suffered a sprained ankle, and offensive tackle John Oddonetto, who bruised a shoulder, are probable for Saturday.
Safety Chad Coellner is questionable with a pulled groin, while tight end Jason Gulley had his knee scoped Monday and is out for one week.
Offensive tackle Justin Hartwig broke a finger in his right hand during practice yesterday, but is expected to play Saturday.
Wide receivers Termaine Fulton, who sprained his right ankle against Northridge, and Byron Gasaway, who broke his jaw during the preseason, are doubtful for Saturday, but they might return to practice next week.

Victory snaps soccer team's losing streak, shut out

The return of Hilla Rantala and the return to winning ways came hand-in-hand for the Kansas soccer team as it defeated Southwest Missouri State 3-1 yesterday in Springfield, Mo.
yesterday in open court. The win improved Kansas' record to 3-4 and put an end to its two game losing streak. In addition, the win eased the Jayhawks' offensive woes. Kansas had been shut out in its previous two games, but yesterday three different Jayhawks found the back of the net and Kansas fired 12 shots.
For a majority of the first half, Kansas dominated the game but neither team could score. Senior midfielder Melissa
Downing broke the scoreless deadlock when she connected for the first goal of the game during a loose ball scramble in the box in the 37th minute.
The goal, Downing's third of the season, moved her into the team lead for scoring this season with three goals for six points.
The score remained 1-0 until the 51:40 mark when the Bears earned the score. Natalie Whiteman scored her fifth goal of the season when she received a throw in from teammate Shannis Stock.
Kansas responded 10 minutes later and took the lead for good off a goal from junior Megham Haven. Haven caught a pass from Rantala and fired a long shot into the far corner of the net past Bears goalkeeper Jennifer Grocki to put the Jahayhaws ahead 2-1. The assist was Rantala's first career point at Kansas,
after tallying 81 during her two years at South Alabama.
The Jayhawks wrapped up the scoring with a goal by junior Kyle Watts. Watts took a pass from senior defender Lindsey Loeffler and chipped it over the Bears defense into the top of the net at the 75:30 mark
The game marked a complete performance for the defense as they allowed Southwest Missouri five shots all game. Senior goalkeeper Betsy Pollard delivered a solid performance as well, grabbing three says.
"We played well." Francis said. "It was a good performance."
Coach Mark Francis was pleased with the wav his team performed.
The victory comes just in time for Kansas as it prepares to sponsor its home

tournament this weekend. The Jayhawks will play two games this weekend, against Drury on Friday and Creighton on Sunday, and Francis is glad his team will enter the tournament coming off a win.
"Hopefully, with this win we can get some people to come watch us at our tournament this weekend," Francis said.

Missouri shot 881 as a team while the Jayhawks totaled 888 strokes to go 24-over par.
One week after pummeling the Missouri men's golf team by 35 strokes, the Kansas men's golf team lost to the Tigers by seven strokes.
"We didn't click as a team on any of the three rounds of play," said coach Ross Randall.
"I was a little (surprised) at the results," said golfer Ryan Vermeer. "I thought we'd play capably to win the tourney."
The team shot 301 during the final 18 holes yesterday.
"(The team) is mad and disappointed in their performance," Randall said. "But this is just one of those times when five guys weren't clicking."
Amid the disappointment of the team's play was Vermeer's first-place finish.
Vermeer, the nation's top-
ranked collegiate golfer, shot a 2-under-par 214 to finish one stroke ahead of Missouri's Corv Ewert.
"I was getting down on myself at the beginning of the day," Vermeer said. "But I told myself to keep going because I knew I wasn't out of it."
Three strokes behind Ewert at the 16th hole during the final round, Vermeer birdied two of the last three holes to win.
birdie on 18 for all the marbles," said Randall.
"It's something I've always wanted to do; be on the 18th green to win."
"He birdied two times in the last three holes and had a clutch
The Tigers placed two players in the top three, Ewert and David Suggs. Suggs was leading before yesterday's play, but shot a 76 to drop to third place.
Vermeer said he was excited with his performance on the final three holes.

See the game meeting set for halftime spike the ball
Judging by the e-mail responses, the contradictory policy is about as popular with people around campus as the new Lazer format.
I was going to do the typical pull from reader e-mail sports column. Three things occurred to me that will keep me from doing that.
Two weeks ago, I asked students to email me their thoughts on the current University policy of having a dry campus yet allowing alcohol in particular places; places with a serious lack of students such as the scholarship suites at Memorial Stadium and the Naismith Room outside Allen Fieldhouse.
No. 1. Most of the e-mails involved language not fit for sailors.
No. 3. I've come up with a personal way to deal with the alcohol for them and-not-us policy.
10. 2. There is a volleyball game tonight that is much more timely (and more fun to talk about).
First, how I'll deal with it. Then, volleyball.
I'm starting my own new tradition. It's tentatively called the "Halftime Beer Break."

I thought to myself, plain about the lack of beer for everyone at Memorial Stadium, I'll just go have a brew during halftime and chill out. I'll get my hand stamped by the gate people, walk to a very nearby bar, have one or maybe two, then walk back to the game. I'll think of it as my own scholarship box, just a little further from the game. With a much more limited

view. And less stuffy people.
Do KU students realize how cool volleyball games are? Judging by the attendance, they don't.
Admission is free. They have plenty of give-aways. Last match I went with a group of six guys. Between the six of us, there were two free t-shirts and one $20 gift certificate won. Not bad for free.
Need more reasons to go? Here are four:
They're good.
Senior Mary Beth Albrecht spikes the ball hard. Rumor has it that the reason the new center was built was so Albrecht wouldn't put any dents in the hard wood at Allen Fieldhouse. Albrecht's monster spikes are just as authoritative as an alley-oop dunk.
They're good.
Senior Amanda Reeves blocks opponents often and with enthusiasm. She seems like a nice person, but her opponents have to think she's mean. After all, she makes them look bad sending volleballs back in their face.
Newcomer Danielle Geronymo not only has the coolest name in all of Kansas athletics, she also has a stinging jump serve. opponents feign injuries just to get a safe seat on the sideline when Geronov stems up to serve.
So, in summary, go to the volleyball game tonight, then meet me at beer-thirty during the football game on Saturday. Have a nice day.

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 7.
You might feel stuck, but it's a temporary condition. Use the time for planning. You're in an analytical frame of mind, most likely. One of your friends definitely is. Kick around a few ideas with that person so you're ready. Things could start moving quickly soon.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
The person who's been giving you such a rough time is about to relent. That's how you so often win, just by outwaiting the other guy. Besides, you learn from their mistakes. Pretty smart. Go ahead and do it again.
Gemini: Today is a 7.
All sorts of exciting new things are in the works, but first, you need to finish old projects. If nothing else, you'll make room on your workbench or in your office. There's a bunch of old stuff you can throw away, too. You hereby have permission.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
If you've been saving for a trip, it's almost time to go. If you haven't been planning, maybe you should be, starting now. Pick a destination that lights you up. Having an exciting goal makes even the boring jobs more fun.
People talk about opportunity knocking, but this time, you're knocking on opportunity's door. It helps to know what you're doing and how much your service is worth. You've got that down, so get out there and sell it!
Virgo: Today is a 7.
Money has never been your major focus. You're always more interested in service. That's a good way to be, especially today when service and money are linked in your favor. And, that's the way it is for you right now.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Libra: Today is a 7.
A new project is coming soon, at least one. Better finish whatever you're working on as quickly as possible. A new way of doing things can help you be complete, so be open to suggestion.
roaay, the lesson pertains to delegation. The more you can delegate to someone else, the more time you'll have for fun and games. Definitely do that because by tomorrow, you'll be in the mood to play.
Sagittarius: Today is a 7.
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
LOVE
Aauarius: Today is a 7.
Everything changes today, some things for the better, some for the worse. The better part is that the obsession with details is about to end. For you that will be an enormous relief. The worse part is that something at home needs to be fixed.
Pisces: Today is a 7.

P
You should be in a creative frame of mind right now, creative and somewhat larcenous. It's OK to charge what you're worth and get it, and right now your talents could bring a pretty penny. Let people know what you can provide for them and cinch the deal.
As you wend through life today, you'll notice a strange juxtaposition of fantasy and reality. You have some great ideas about what you'd like to do, but can you really afford that? Maybe you can. Get real, and maybe you'll make a fantasy come true.
2
You're getting stronger, and you might attract more attention, which could be rather annoying. People might ask you to do things. In the relative peace and quiet of obscurity, you have time to think. Nice guys only finish last if they don't plan ahead.

Running back loses leg after dislocating knee
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
DAVIS, Calif. — A running back for the University of California-Davis had to have his lower right leg amputated 10 days after he dislocated his knee in a game.
V
The dislocation cut off the blood flow to his lower leg and foot. Despite surgery to repair the injury, the lack of blood and oxygen caused irreversible damage, said team physician David Cosca. The 22-year-old Paneno had the surgery Monday.
Sam Paneno played one of the best games of his college career before hurting his knee in overtime in UC Davis' victory Sept. 11 against Western Oregon.
In the game against Western Oregon, Paneno's first start this season, he rushed for 114 yards on 26 carries and scored two touchdowns.
Paneno, a sophomore, transferred to the Division II school from Hawaii last season.
"You talk about college football being such a great game — about people being fortunate to play this game — and then something like this happens," he said.
Coach Bob Biggs said it was the worst injury he'd seen in more than 20 years at UC Davis.
COLLEGE ATHLETICS
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama athletic director Bob Bockrath resigned yesterday, ending a rocky three-year term with the school.
Controversial Alabama athletic director quits
Bockrath, who hired DuBose, chose to punish the coach rather than fire him when he admitted lying about a relationship with a university employee. The school settled a sexual harassment complaint filed by the woman in August and Bockrath cut two years off DuBose's contract.
Alabama president Andrew Sorensen praised Bockrath for developing the school's athletic complex and for following NCAA rules, but said from an administrative and leadership standpoint, a change was needed.
Finus Gaston, Alabama's senior associate athletic director, will fill in on an interim basis. A national search will be launched to find a permanent replacement.
BALTIMORE — The star goalie on the Johns Hopkins lacrosse team has been charged with raping a student at the school.
Sorensen said Bockrath would be assigned other duties until June 30, 2000. He is expected to take sick leave during part of the time to recover from shoulder surgery.
Star lacrosse goalie charged with rape
Brian Carcatera was charged Monday with second-degree rape and assault. He was being held on $25,000 bail in the Baltimore Booking Center.
Now that Bockrath is out, the focus turns to football coach Mike DuBose's future.
Carcaterra met the 21-year-old student and her roommate at a bar Saturday, bought a bottle of wine
and suggested they go to the women's apartment to drink it, according to court documents.
COLLEGE LACROSSE
The woman he is charged with rap ing has little memory of the night. However, the roommate said Carcaterra got into bed with the woman and began kissing and fondling her.
According to the documents, the women suspected a narcotic may have been slipped into the wine. Police took two wine glasses from the apartment.
Johns Hopkins representative Dennis O'Shea said Carcaterra's status on the team was uncertain. O'Shea said the player could be expelled if the woman makes a complaint under the school's disciplinary code.
Carcaterra, a senior from Yorktown Heights, N.Y., was a first team All-America. This season, he made the second team after posting a 9.18 goals against average and a .577 save percentage while starting all 14 games.

BROOKLINE, Mass.— Apart from deciding what color shirt to wear on what day, the two most important functions of a Ryder Cup captain are to complete 12-man teams with two captain's picks and come up with a winning combination.
Commentary
They could take the following suggestions to really liven the Ryder Cup.
Paul Lawrie and Jean Van de Velde: This would be a great
alternate-shot pairing, the silly Frenchman who squandered the British Open, and the unassuming Scot who benefited from the Van de Velde's follies.
Jarmo Sandelin and Lee Westwood: If there is any contention on the European team, this is it. In the Lancome Trophy last year, Westwood refused to sign Sandelin's card because he thought the Swede's ball moved
at address. Sandelin says it didn't and prevailed. What better way for them to kiss and make up?
Darren Clarke and Padraig Harrington: Clarke is a Protestant from Northern Ireland. Harrington is a Catholic from the Republic of Ireland. Maybe this could bring peace to the Emerald Isle.
Jim Furyk and Tiger Woods: Woods went through a celebrated breakup with caddie Mike "Fluff" Cowan. Now that Fluff is with Furyk, he could romp the fairways with Tiger again.
Loss comes after last week's thrashing
Continued from page 1B
Randall seemed amused by the fact that a team could play so well one week and so poorly the next.
"We did so well last week at Nebraska," he said. "Then we came down here and played poorly. It's funny, but that's the mystery of golf."
Vermeer said that the team could plan on a lot of practice before its next tournament, Randall said.
"There is definitely going to be a lot of practice," he said. "I'm
going to work with some guys on their swing, and we're all going to do a lot of work on the short game."
Though he acknOWl-edged his team's poor play, Randall said that it must say something
KU golf
about his players, since they played poorly and still finished second.
"Right now, all we have to do is
forget this and focus on our next tournament two weeks from now."
After Vermeer, only three other Jayhaws placed in the top 15. Sophomore Casey Harbour, who played as an independent, shot 222 to take ninth place and Brad Davis and Jake Istnick both shot 225 to tie for 15th.
The Jayhawks will travel to Chicago in two weeks to play in the Windon Memorial Invitational hosted by Northwestern University Oct. 4 to 5.

Coach Allen thanks Hawk Club
Members get game day info
By Jason Walker
sports@kansas.com
Kansan Sportswriter
The University of Kansas Hawk Club received a first-hand look at Kansas football last night.
KANSAS JAYHAWKS
Coach Terry Allen spoke to about 25 club members in Hadl Auditorium last night to give members a chance to ask questions and get acquainted with him and the way the team works. He also thanked the club for all their support and dedication to Jayhawk football.
"It means a lot to me and to the program," he said. "We've never seen anything like this here."

The meeting gave club members a chance to speak with Allen about upcoming games, previous strategies and ideas on how to get the student body involved in Kansas football. Photo by Chad Cummings/KANSAN.
Allen talked about Saturday's game with San Diego State and the recent renovations to Memorial Stadium. He said that he hoped the renovations would bring more people to the games and give Kansas more of a home-field advantage.
Justin Mettien, Raytown, Mo,
sophomore, said he thought
Coach Allen was genuinely interested in the opinions of University students.
"He is good at generating support for the football team," he said. "I think he has done a pretty good job overall with the team and connecting with students."
One way Allen has connected with students is through what he calls the "Coach's Pipeline." Michael Henry, Overland Park senior, and founder of Hawk Club, said that either Allen or one of his coaches sent an e-mail to members of the club each week.
Mettlen said the e-mail from a coach made him pay more attention to the games on Saturday.
"It's pretty interesting to see what he thinks the team needs to do to win." he said.
"It's usually about what to look for in that Saturday's game," he said. "Like about what they're going to do on offense or defense."
Henry said he hoped the students who attended the meeting would feel closer to the team after having personal contact with Allen.
"We want them to feel like they have an investment in the team," he said. "Not that they just see the
football players in class."
Henry also said that previously, students had little interaction with the coaches or with the team.
"They have never had an outlet for students before," he said. "Coach is trying to make this club really special."
Allen said that the most important thing was for students to enjoy themselves at the Jayhawks' games.
"We want students to have fun with college football," he said.

Volleyball team to battle against Texas Longhorns
By Shawn Hutchinson
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Now the real test begins.
The Kansas volleyball team, after compiling a 9-2 non-conference record to start the season, faces its first ranked opponent tonight when the No. 8 Texas Longhorns come to Lawrence. The match begins at 7 p.m. at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center and is the Big 12 Conference opener for both teams.
Kansas coach Ray Bechard said that Texas would be by far the toughest team the Jayhawks had faced this season, and it's easy to see why. The Longhorns are 16-1 all-time in conference openers, have been ranked in the American Volleyball Coaches Association Top 25 poll for 224 consecutive weeks, and are 9-0 all-time against the Jayhawks.
"We have to play extremely well and hope they're not on the top of their game," Bechard said. "Texas will be extremely physical."
Texas was physical enough to sweep Kansas twice last year, but that was before the
Longhorns suffered two big losses in the off season. Texas lost outside hitter Katie Austin, a 1998 Volleyball Magazine third team All-American, and outside hitter Demetria Sance, a four-time AVCA All-American and the Longhorns' all-time leader in kills and attacks.
Yet, the cupboard is anything but bare for the Longhorns. Texas returns senior Erin Aldrich, the 1998 Big 12 Newcomer of the Year, and Jill Gremmell, a junior setter who averaged 12.65 assists per game last season. Both played a significant role earlier this season when the Longhorns beat Pac 10 Conference powerhouse Stanford, which at the time was ranked second in the nation.
The Jayhawks counter with an array of players who have had stellar seasons. Junior outside hitter Amy Myatt has emerged as a go-to player by leading the team with 161 kills and setting a school record with 30 kills in a four-game match against Auburn.
Senior middle blocker Amanda Reves, an All-Big 12 performer last season, is second on the team with 141 kills, and sophomore setter Molly LaMere leads the team with 561 assists.
If the Jayhawks are to pull an upset tonight, momentum is clearly in their favor. Kansas has won four straight matches, including a win last week at home against Wichita State, and three tournament wins last weekend at the Tennessee Lady Vol Classic in Knoxville, Tenn.
Kansas senior outside hitter, Mary Beth Albrecht was named the most valuable player of the tournament after the Jayhawks swept Lehigh (Pa.) then won two five-game matches against both Eastern Michigan and Tennessee.
"That was a good win, and we fought hard," Albrecht said. "It gives us good momentum, but we're ready for conference now."
Texas could be thinking the same thing after suffering two losses last weekend at No. 2 Penn State. The Longhorns are in the midst of a two-match losing streak after opening the season with six straight wins.
"Texas is a solid team and always plays competitive," Reves said. "They're definitely comparable with some of the toughest teams we've faced."

Commentary
Local, national sports play vital role in culture
I have a friend at the University of Texas. I remember talking to him after he had experienced something very alarming.
He told me he had been walking down the street when he noticed a commotion. Cars were honking, and people were waving the "hook em 'Horns" hand sign out their windows. My poor friend thought it was some sort of madcap riot, until he found out that some guy from some team won some trophy. (For those of you who don't know, this would be when Ricky Williams won the Heisman.)
It is hard for me to imagine being oblivious to the goings on of the sports world. Sports are a valuable part of culture, whether it be the culture of a university or the culture of a nation.
I spent last summer in Guadalajara, Mexico. In Mexico they like a lot of sports, but soccer is their passion. I got to experience this part of their culture firsthand, and much to my surprise, I enjoyed it.
I will admit that I have never liked soccer very much. I never understood the incredible passion that it seems to invoke in so many people worldwide, with the people in the United States being among the exceptions. I was a little reluctant when one of the Mexican families invited us to a bar to watch the big game. Atlas was their team of choice, and since I had no real interest, I rooted for Atlas along with them.
It did not take very long before I was caught in the action. I learned the cheers. I memorized the commercials (My personal favorite: "Live football, dream football, drink Coca-Cola."). The game ended in a tie. The bar celebrated afterward, and all the Americans looked at one other, wondering if the people
understood Atlas had not won. The next week, Atlas played their biggest game of the season and lost, which set up one very bizarre night.
A group of us had gone to dinner for some real American food at Chill's. My friends, Scott and Laura and I took off on our walk home. We got a little lost on the way back. At one point Scott assured us that he knew we were going either north or south. After wandering aimlessly for about a half an hour, we saw a crowd similar to the one that had alarmed my friend in Texas.
Then we saw the Atlas flags, heard the Atlas cheers and saw the man selling Atlas hats, which of course we bought. We could not resist the jester hats with bells on them. We were having so much fun that we actually looked like we had planned to attend the rally. When we heard the sound of our favorite chant, we sang along and impressed all the people who thought we could not speak Spanish. The fact that we had no idea what we were saying did not matter — we had blended into the culture. We also were a little frightened by how crazy things would have been had Atlas actually won.
I am now the proud owner of an Atlas shirt, two shot glasses and the aforementioned jester hat.
I think the whole experience reminded me of a big part of the reason I am a sports fan. It helps a person feel connected to something, whether it is their city, country or school. I am glad that I would not fear my life if the Kansas basketball team won the NCAA tournament. I hate to think that there are people who would say that some team won some tournament.

Iowa State undefeated; will play K-State next
By Michael Rigg
sports@kanson.com
Kansas sportwriter
A look at the undefeated teams in the Big 12 Conference reveals a big surprise: the Iowa State Cyclones.
During the off season, Iowa State coach Dan McCarney frequently spoke of stopping the negative traditions — like losing — that his Cyclones had started and starting some new traditions on the positive side.
Consider it done.
For the first time since 1981, Iowa State stands at 3-0. Among these victories was a 17-10 victory against rival Iowa, and a 24-0 shutout of UNLV in Las Vegas on Saturday. This is a turnaround for a team that had not shut out an opponent on the
road since 1978 and was 0-10-1 in 1994.
"I'm very proud of our staff and our players," McCarney said. "It's a great accomplishment based on where
IOWA STATE
CYCLOMES
we were four seasons ago."
McCarney said he also was impressed with the way his players handled the trip to Las Vegas and the additional distractions.
"We all know there can be a lot of distractions in Las Vegas," McCarney said. "It's very impressive to get a shutout anywhere."
McCarney said that Iowa State would face its first true test of the season when Kansas State plays the Cyclones this weekend in Ames, Iowa, for both schools' Big 12 Conference opener. Iowa State has not defeated the Wildcats since 1993, and McCarney is aware how prepared his team will have to be to avoid the results of last season — a 52-7 K-State victory.
"With all the talent and ability in the Big 12, it's a good measurement of how good your team is," McCarney said. "Last
year was a complete mismatch. We'll see how far we've come."
Colorado
Instead of using the traditional motivation methods to get his team prepared for Kansas last week, Colorado head coach
Gary Barnett elected to turn the game against the Jayhawks into all-out war. At the Buffaloes' team meeting last Thursday.day.
CU
Barnett entered dressed in full army fatigues and passed out copies of George C. Scott's opening monologue in the movie Patton.
Two days later, Barnett's team came out and played its game against the Jayhawks as if it were a life-or-death situation as the Buffaloats routed Kansas 51-17. This week, Barnett said such motivations would not be necessary, as Colorado travels to Washington to take on the Huskies and former Colorado coach Rick Neuheisel.
Barnett said outside distractions would play a huge role in Saturday's game.
"Right now, we just don't want to say anything controversial, and then have (the Washington players) read it," Barnett said. "Really, we just want to play football."
And what if Colorado isn't motivated enough to play well on Saturday?
"You never know," Barnett said. "We may have to pull out General Patton again this week."
The Buffaloes also received good news when they learned that the MRI on quarterback Mike Moschetti's knee was negative and that he would probably play against the Huskies. Moschetti was injured late in the first half of last Saturday's game when he was hit by Jayhawk linebacker Tim Bowers. He did not return to the game.

Cats punter to place kick again
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN, Kan. - When place-kickers Jamie Rheem and Mike Goodnow both struggled in Kansas State's season opener, Coach Bill Snyder suggested that he might be looking for a third kicker.
Now, for the second week in a row, Snvder doesn't have a choice.
Injuries to Rheem and Goodnow will keep both of them out of action Saturday, Snyder said. That leaves freshman punter Travis Brown to handle the kicking chores on Saturday, when the No. 15 Wildcats travel to Iowa State for their Big 12 Conference opener.
Snyder would not give details of either kicker's injury.
"Jamie's doing okay," Snyder said.
"But he's not where he needs to be vet. Goodnow will not be back."
Snyder said Mike Ronsick would help with the kicking duties and that senior quarterback Adam Helm has taken some snaps at punter.
C
Brown, play kicking for the first time in more than a year and a half, made one of his two field goal attempts in last
week's 40-7 win against Texas-El Paso.
"I wasn't real strong in that situation. Brown said of his performance Saturday. "I got a day and a half to work on it, and I wasn't too comfortable in the situation I was put in."
Snyder said he understands Brown's situation but has faith in his abilities.
"I just want him to be comfortable," Snyder said. "But I'm not afraid to put him in the same situations."
Offensive lineman Thomas Barnett is also doubtful for Saturday's game, Snyder said — again, without revealing further details of the injury.
Fullback Johnno Lazetich is expected to play against the Cyclones after receiving a mild concussion in K-State's season opener against Temple on Sept. 11. Lazetich had just one carry for four yards against the Owls.
Linebacker Jason Kazar is expected to be out two to three more weeks with a broken arm, also sustained in the opener.
Huskers show 'no love,' Evans says
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. - Running back DeAngelo Evans, who quit Nebraska after a series of career injuries and a slow start this season, said he left because he was frustrated about his amount of playing time.
Speaking out Monday for the first time since he quit, Evans expressed his anger at Nebraska football coach Frank Solich and his teammates.
"I'm hurt because the guys I played with really don't understand what's going on," said Evans, a fourth-year junior. "I worked so hard in the off season. I've been a model citizen. But the program is showing me no love."
Evans. After practice on Monday, Solich said he wanted to put the Evans situation behind him.
Evans said he met with Solich on Monday to part ways for good. He plans to withdraw from classes at Nebraska and transfer to an undetermined NCAA Division I-AA school.
Solich said Evans would have remained the team's No.1 running
A representative for the team said Solich would have no comment about
"Actually, I'm kind of glad to be out of there," Evans said. "It's not the same program I signed with. I just feel Coach Solich is being stubborn and classless."
back had he stayed. Evans started the Cornhuskers' first two games, rushing 19 times for 74 yards. He split time with Dan Alexander, who had 21 carries the first two games against Iowa and California.
PETER A. BROWN
Evans said his anger reached a high point following the Huskers' Sept. 11 home game against California, when he carried the ball six times in the 45-0 win.
Evan's: Speaks out for the first time since leaving Nebraska.
"How can you give me six carries and expect me to be happy?" Evans said from his hometown of Wichita.
Evans said he left Lincoln for Wichita the Sunday following the
California game. He called Solich shortly after arriving at his family's apartment.
"I told him that unless some major changes were made, I was through. And all he said was, 'Do you want your release (from your scholarship)?' He never told me to calm down and think it through or anything like that. That just egged me on." Evans said.
Evans said he told Solich he was frustrated and hung up the phone.
Evans said he apologized to Solich last Tuesday and expressed his desire to return to the team. But Solich, Evans said, wanted to consult with the players and coaching staff before making a decision.
Several days later, after hearing that some players didn't want him to return, Evans said he told Solich he did not think it was a good situation anymore.
"I was still hoping he would tell me they wanted me back," Evans said. "But he said, 'Yeah, I agree. I don't think the team wants you back, and I'm not sure I want you either."

Martinez breaks Clemens' record
The Associated Press
BOSTON — Pedro Martinez pitched a three-hitter and struck out 12 last night to give him 300 for the season, breaking Roger Clemens' team record and leading the Boston Red Sox 3-0 against the Toronto Blue Jays.
The loss, Toronto's sixth in a row, knocked the Blue Jays 111/2

Martinez (22-4) became the first Boston pitcher with a shutout this season and lowered his major league-leading ERA to 2.11. He walked two and hit a batter in his fifth complete game.
Martinez struck out Tony Batista in the second inning, giving him four for the game and 292 for the season, breaking the record Clemens set in 1988.
Martinez didn't bother saving the ball yet, using it to strike out the next batter. Willis Otanez, before sending it to the dugout for safekeeping. It was his 18th game of 10

He fanned Carlos Delgado to start the ninth for No. 300. Martinez joins Randy Johnson to strike out at least 300 in both leagues.

Curtinfield, a former Cubs reliever who turned into a stellar starter for St. Louis, allowed one hit in six innings to earn his 18th victory and lead the Cardinals against Chicago 7-2.

Sosa was 0-for-4 with a strikeout, two foulouts and a flyout. He stays at 61 homers.

Bottenfield (18-7) matched his victory total in his previous six seasons in the majors, giving up a

McGwire hit his sacrifice fly to give the Cardinals a 3-0 lead in the fifth, increasing his National League-best RBI total to 137, two more than Sosa.
Milwaukee Brewers hire new general manager
The Associated Press
MILWAUKEE — Dean Taylor said he had plans to create the same winning dynasty in Milwaukee that was started nine years ago in Atlanta when he became the assistant to Braves General Manager John Schuerholz.
Taylor was hired as Brewers General Manager yesterday, succeeding Sal Bando, who was reassigned last month following the firing of manager Phil Garner.
Reshaping the Brewers into a winning team was something that drew Taylor to the job.
"It's going to take a year to get this organization moving to wherever we want it to be," said Taylor, who signed a four-year contract.
Taylor's first duties include hiring a manager, which he said he hopes to
do during the playoffs. He said major league experience isn't the only factor in his choice.
"We're looking for someone who has the ability to motivate and create a winning atmosphere." Taylor said.
Baseball commissioner Bud Selig, whose family controls the Brewers through a trust, instructed owners earlier this year to consider minorities for high-ranking team positions and required teams to give him a list of candidates.
Former National League Manager of the Year Don Baylor, now the hitting coach for Atlanta after being fired by the Colorado Rockies last season, is among the names mentioned as a candidate for the Brewers managerial position.
Baylor was the hitting coach in Milwaukee from 1990-91 and was considered for the managerial job with
the Brewers when Garner was hired.
the Brewers when he was hired by Taylor said the stability of the Brewers' ownership and the targeted opening of the Brewers' new stadium, Miller Park, in 2001 were among the reasons he took the job.
Currently staggering toward their seventh straight losing season, the Brewers are in fifth place in the National League Central and have not been in the playoffs since 1982. Taylor comes from a team that has won seven straight division titles.
"Dean Taylor is someone who will leave no stone unturned in strengthening this organization," said team president Wendy Selig-Prieb, the commissioner's daughter.
Taylor said that the Brewers needed to take a new direction in their player development.
"Small clubs have a smaller margin of error when it comes to player
development," he said. "The key is to make proper evaluations."
Taylor's 24-year baseball career includes serving as an assistant to John Schuerholz at Kansas City. Taylor also was manager of baseball operations for the commissioner's office in 1990.
Taylor also stressed developing the team's farm system, bringing up younger players to the professional level and contract negotiation.
Indians assistant general manager Dan O'Dowd, hired Monday as general manager of the Colorado Rockies.
Others interviewed were Toronto Blue Jays assistant general manager Dave Stewart, New York Mets assistant general manager and international scouting director Omar Minaya and Chicago White Sox assistant general manager Dan Evans.

Falcons lose running back Jamal Anderson for season
The Associated Press
SUWANEE, Ga. — An 0-2 start became an afterthought for the NFC champion Atlanta Falcons, who received the devastating news yesterday that All-Pro running back Jamal Anderson is out for the season with a knee injury.
Anderson tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee Monday night in a 24-7 loss against the Dallas Cowboys, going down without being touched on his third carry of the game.
Without their two best offensive players, the Falcons failed to move inside the Dallas 30 until the fourth quarter. They avoided their first shutout since 1983 when third-string quarterback Danny Kanell threw a 45-yard touchdown pass to Tim Dwight with four minutes remaining.
"I'm extremely upset and saddened by this turn of fate," Anderson said. "I will do everything in my power to
He won't be returning this season. The personable 26-year-old, whose "Dirty Bird" dance became a symbol of the Falcons' improbable run to the Super Bowl, is expected to undergo surgery in about two weeks.
return better than I was before, as quickly as I can."
Under the best of circumstances, he would recover in time for the start of training camp next year.
Anderson rushed for a franchise-record 1,846 yards and set an NFL mark with 410 carries last season. His punishing style and remarkable durability set the tone for a ball-control offense that helped the Falcons reach the Super Bowl for the first time in their 34-year history.
Now, Atlanta will hand the ball to third-year back Byron Hanspard, who missed last season with an injured knee after rushing for 395 yards as a rookie.
"We have got to move forward and try to get the job done," said coach Dan Reeves.
This season, Anderson missed two weeks of training camp in a contract dispute, finally reporting two days before the first exhibition game after receiving a five-year, $32 million contract — including a $7.5 million signing bonus.
Anderson was injured on a seemingly harmless play, raising more questions about the effects of playing on artificial turf. After taking a handoff, he attempted to cut to the left while still in the backfield. He crumpled to the ground in obvious pain with no one around him.
Against the Cowboys, Atlanta already was missing quarterback Chris Chandler, who strained a hamstring against the Vikings.
Anderson was held to 50 yards on 16 carries in a season-opening loss to Minnesota, and managed only nine yards against the Cowboys before his season came to an end.
Reeves was asked if the holdout might have contributed to Anderson's injury.
That is the tough part."
"Everybody has got their opinions and so forth, but you don't know and you never will know," Reeves said. "It seems like when a guy holds out, he comes back in and has injuries.
At first, the injury was diagnosed as merely a sprain. A more extensive examination revealed the Falcons' worst fears: Anderson to his ACL.
Reeves said that Anderson could possibly play in a couple of the last games in the season, but that it might jeopardize his career.
Anderson, an obscure seventhround pick from Utah in 1994, developed into one of the Falcons' most dynamic players, rushing for more than 1,000 yards in each of the last three seasons.
KC rookies may have to step up
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Less than a month ago, John Tait went storming out of town saying he might sit out this season and go back into the draft next year rather than play for Kansas City.
Chiefs' coach Gunther Cunningham and general manager Carl Peterson were having public verbal battles with the first-round draft pick's agent. Tait missed all of training camp in a bitter contract dispute.
Things were starting to get ugly. Now, although he has a world of catching up to do as an offensive lineman, Tait has a chance of being called to duty on an emergency basis this week against the Detroit Lions.
All, it seems, is forgiven.
He may have to be ready. Dave Szott, the Chiefs' former All-Pro left guard, underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Monday and will be out at least 2 weeks. That means left tackle Glenn Parker might move to Szott's place.
Cunningham said veteran a b c k u p Marcus Spears would probably start if Parker moved. But Tait
CHIEFS
envisioned long-term as the next starter at left tackle, will have a chance in practice this week to show he's ready to provide help.
"Mentally, it will be interesting this week to find out where he is. But he's a bright guy so he should be close," Cunningham said. "It
would be nice to work him in, but you don't anticite it."
The Chiefs will be careful not to ask too much too soon of Tait.
"He's ticketed for the future around here, no doubt about it," Cunningham said. "He's big, he's strong, and I've been a lot more impressed with him than I was at minicamp."
This could be the first week the Chiefs use either of their first two picks from the last draft. Running back Mike Cloud, taken in the second round from Boston College, is expected to be activated as the Chiefs try to fill the hole left by halfback Kimble Anders, who is out for the season because of an Achilles tendon injury.
The 5-foot-10,205-pound Cloud was the seventh running back selected and looked promising during camp.

Clinton urges U.N. to strengthen role in stopping mass killings
The Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS— President Clinton challenged the United Nations and countries in Africa, Asia and elsewhere yesterday to strengthen their ability to stop mass killings such as those in Kosovo and East Timor.
The United States cannot respond to every humanitarian catastrophe in the world, he told the General Assembly.
Clinton also urged the world body to engage in an all-out battle against poverty for the 21st century and to assure that weapons of mass destruction would not be used on children.
Clinton suggested the United Nations play an expanded role in preventing mass slaughter and dislocation.
"When we are faced with the deliberate organized campaigns to murder whole peoples or expel them from their land, the care of victims is important, but not enough," he said. "We should work to end the violence."
Among other things, Clinton said there was a need to train international forces to fill the gap between local police and military peacekeepers.
Clinton touched lightly on two contentious issues: a disagreement regarding Iraq and the failure of the United States to make more than $1 billion in delinquent U.N. payments
The Clinton administration is willing
to ease the sanctions only if Iraq agrees to allow U.N. weapons inspectors back into the country.
But the Security Council remains deadlocked. Russia, China and France — each wielding veto powers — have expressed sympathy with Baghdad's call for an immediate easing of the sanctions that have been in place since the Persian Gulf War in 1991.
1972
Clinton: Suggested the United Nations play a role in preventing mass slaughter.
In nearly three hours of talks Monday night. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright failed to budge Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov, a U.S.
"Despite all the obstacles Saddam Hussein has placed in our path, we must continue to ease the suffering of the people of Iraq," Clinton said. "At the same time, we cannot allow the government of Iraq to flout 40 — and I say 40 — successive U.N. Security Council resolutions and to rebuild his arsenal." Clinton also apologized for the U.S. deliquency on bank payments
official said.
The administration has pledged to make the payments, some dating to the 1980s, but has been blocked repeatedly by congressional conservatives.
If a sizable installment isn't made by year's end, the United States will lose its vote in the General Assembly. Its Security Council vote would not be affected however.

Monks evacuate monastery because of threatening fire
The Associated Press
LUCIA, Calif.—Benedictine monks who maintain a vow of silence and bake fruitcakes to support their monastery were among the hundreds forced to flee wildfires that raced up the coastal mountains of Big Sur.
Given Big Sur's often-changing winds, firefighters said the blazes could climb a ridge and sweep down onto the property within hours.
Eight monks remained behind yesterday to help firefighters save their monastery, the New Camadoldi Hermitage, which is reachable only by a narrow, twisting road.
"If it comes up nice and slow, things will be cool," said Irene Kahn, a volunteer with the Big Sur Fire Department. "If it comes up in a firestorm, then things could be interesting."
Some of the monks who stayed behind were cutting brush, said the Rev. Romuald Duscher, acting superior for the 32 monks. He does not maintain a vow of silence. He said he thought he should stay, especially since some of the monastery's monks were elderly and didn't want to leave.
"This is our home," Duscher said. "Also, we feel we can help."

The monastery also caters to tourists seeking a refuge from the wired world, and is so popular that reservations have to be made months in advance.
Lightning-caused fires have burnt more than 78,000 acres in Northern California's forests in the past few days. Cooler weather yesterday helped fight some of the fires, but 28,000 acres of brush, sage, trees and chaparral had burnt in the Big Sur Los Padres National Forest.
Death penalty sought in dragging case
The Associated Press
BRYAN, Texas—A psychiatrist testified yesterday that a white supremacist convicted in the dragging death of an African-American man had failed to learn from past mistakes and remains a substantial risk to society.
Prosecutors seeking the death penalty for Lawrence Russell Brewer rested their case in the punishment phase of his capital murder trial after Edward Gripon, a psychiatrist, testified yesterday.
Jurors, rejecting the defendant's pleadings that he is not a racist and did not plan James Byrd Jr.'s death, returned a guilty verdict Monday for the June 7, 1998. killing.
Gripon testified that, based on Brewer's criminal history and a dysfunctional childhood, along with a
review of his writings and an interview a week ago that his life had not been one that has had positive aspects."
He also described Brewer as anti-social and as a person who did not learn from past mistakes.
"I think he would run a substantial risk," Gripon said. "Past behavior appears to be a significant indicator of future behavior."
1998.
Prosecutors said they thought Brewer — along with John William King, 24, and Shawn A. Berry, 24 — killed Byrd to promote their fledgling white supremacist organization — the Confederate Knights of America — and to initiate Berry into the group.
Brewer, sometimes sobbing, testified last week that he was with King and Berry when Byrd, 49, was chained by the ankles to the bumper of Berry's pickup and dragged for three miles on June 7.
According to Brewer, he climbed inside the truck cab, smoked a cigarette and didn't realize Berry had chained Byrd to the back of the truck until they began driving. Brewer said he was convinced Byrd had died earlier when Berry slashed his throat with a knife.
But DNA evidence showed Byrd's blood on the shoes of all three men. The jury requested both Berry's and Brewer's shoes during four hours of deliberation on Monday.
"I don't like the death penalty but that's what he deserves," said Jasper County District Attorney Guy James Gray. "The just punishment for this case and these facts and circumstances is death."
"Whatever they come up with, we will accept that, of course," said Byrd's sister, Mary Verrett. "I want to see the ultimate penalty."
linton says political aspiration wife played no part in cleme
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—President Clinton denied yesterday that political considerations played a role in his decision to grant clemency to 14 Puerto Rican nationalists.
He also defended invoking executive privilege in refusing to provide a House inquiry with documents related to the decision and said the extremely lengthy sentences the prisoners were serving was a major factor in his decision.
The president spelled out his position in a letter to Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., as a House committee opened a hearing into the clemency grants.
Critics have suggested the clemency was aimed at boosting first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton's popularity among the 1.3 million
Puerto Ricans who live in New York, where she is contemplating a bid for the Senate in 2000.
But Clinton said the timing of the announcement was dictated by the promise of his former chief counsel, Charles F.C. Ruff, to finish the review of the clemency case before leaving the government.
"His recommendation and my decision were based on our view of the merits of the requests." Clinton wrote Waxman. "Political considerations played no role in the process."
Republicans, who control the House Government Reform Committee, are displaying a grainy videotape that purports to show one of the militants allegedly making a bomb. Republicans are trying to disprove Clinton's contention that none of those to whom he offered clemency had been involved in a violent crime.

1991 EPA action puts agency in controversy
- Excellent Benefits Package
From the early 1920s to 1984, Shattuck operated a plant at the site, processing uranium, radium, molybdenum and rhenium for such things as X-ray equipment and glow-in-the-dark clocks and gauges. The soil and groundwater became contaminated.
The Associated Press
DENVER— In 1991, the Environmental Protection Agency thought the problem at the old Shattuck Chemical Co. plant had been laid to rest.
COME BY NOW DRESSED IN BUSINESS CASUAL ATTIRE FOR IMMEDIATE INTERVIEW:
Shattuck officials will not object to waste removal; they just do not want to pay for it, attorney John Faught said. Shattuck paid more than $26 million for the cleanup. Removing the waste would have cost $46 million.
- and More!
Instead of digging up the contaminated soil and hauling it away, the EPA decided to mix the more than 50,000 cubic yards of radioactive dirt with concrete and fly ash and bury it on the spot under rock and clay, creating a tomb designed to last hundreds of years.
Now that decision may come back to haunt the agency.
City leaders and residents of the blue-collar neighborhood surrounding the Shattuck Superfund Site contend the waste is sinking and fear that contamination may have already seeped into water supplies. They are demanding the
The EPA's ombudsman has launched an investigation to determine if the buried waste really was settling and whether it posed a health risk to the neighborhood.
tomb be dug up and shipped out of state.
Neighbors said photos and videotape of the so-called hot rocks showed that they were sinking.
In its preliminary findings, an independent firm, S. Cohen & Associates of McLean, Va., found no immediate threat but said the EPA failed to address long-term effects, the extent of groundwater contamination and possible runoff into the nearby South Platte River.
"The major concern here is the protection of the citizens of Denver and the people around the site," said Tim Fields, assistant EPA administrator.
Fields said he expected to decide by November what to do about the waste.

Disease doesn't stop Kansas triathlete
Athlete overcomes diabetes to compete in national contest
I will take the challenge and make it a success. I am confident that you can achieve your goals and that you will be happy with the results. Thank you for your support.
Above: Brian Foster is now one of only a few diabetics in history to compete in a triathlon. Right: Foster, a Lawrence graduate student, proudly displays his tattoo of the medical symbol on his right shoulder. Photos by Matt J. Daugherty/KANSAN
By Melinda Weaver sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Brian Foster wears a tattoo on his arm that proudly displays the label that he was ashamed to wear in high school.
When Foster, Lawrence graduate student, competed in sports as a youth, he said that he hated writing diabetic on his shoe as a precautionary measure, because he thought it distinguished him from the other athletes.
Now, he is proud not of his disease, but of the work he has done to overcome it and teach others about it.
Foster, who will be competing in the Triathlete Nationals this weekend, does not have to worry about swimming, sprinting and biking as much as he has to worry about how his hormones are reacting to one another with increased work and stress levels.
His body has little ability to move sugar, called glucose, to the cells. He must add insulin to his body every time he eats to balance the chemicals in his body.
Since insulin is not produced by his body, however, the chemicals do not react as well together. Thus, when Foster's stress levels are higher, his body does not adapt as well as it would if the chemicals were produced naturally.
"My doctor says that I do well controlling my sugars all semester." Foster said. "But come finals, I have a problem. When stress levels jump out of the normal range, I have the highest risk of problems."
While doctors recommend a certain level of exercise for diabetics, they usually do not recommend competition.
"It's a delicate balance," said Patricia Denning, a physician of internal medicine at Watkins Memorial Health Center. "It's complicated to figure out how much insulin you should take vs. how much food you should take vs. how much exercise. You could end up
with high- or low-sugar balance, and you could pass out."
But Foster will not let this deter him from the national competition, which requires him to swim 1.5 kilometers, cycle 40 kilometers and run 10 kilometers.
"The competition is in St. Joseph (Mo.) this year, so it's close enough that I should try." Foster said.
To his knowledge, only one other diabetic has competed in a triathlete competition, but he said he hoped to outdo what his predecessor had done.
Foster has had plenty of conditioning practice this summer working on beach patrol in Longport, N.J. He worked on his swimming, rowing and paddle board among other things.
"I won't have much use for rowing or paddle board, but the training principles are pretty much the same," Foster said. "I haven't done much biking, but now that I am back, it will be much easier to train."
because of his health, but he works to overcome that.
Some days he is not able to compete
"There are some days when I don't enjoy it," Foster said. "The way I like to look at is that I would be a better athlete if I wasn't diabetic, but I might not be an athlete."
Foster began athletics in high school cross country. As a freshman and sophomore, he was not allowed to compete, which pushed him.
DIABETIC
"The idea of being told I couldn't do something just spurred me to compete more," Foster said. "I'm very competitive."
He continued his athletic career in college at Kutztown University in Pennsylvania. His illness prevented him from getting a Division-I scholarship, so he attended the small school as the last of seven recruited freshman.
By year's end, he was at the top of his recruiting class.
"When I was last there was no pressure put on me, but once I showed signs that I could excel, the pressure
was on," Foster said. "Things didn't go as well after that. I even had to redshirt a year and learn stress management."

He has taken his experiences and used it to help other diabetics.After meeting with an 11-year-old diabetic last semester and convincing the boy's mother to allow him to compete, Foster decided to try to help more children.
He plans to work with students at Watkins and possibly Lawrence Memorial Hospital to teach them about their illness and competition.
Williams quits Luxembourg tournament
The Associated Press
LUXEMBOURG — Weary from three straight weeks of tennis and unwilling to make a transatlantic flight, U.S. Open champion Serena Williams withdrew from the Seat Oen yesterday.
This is the fourth tournament from which she has withdrawn this year. The WTA Tour said she could lose $16,900 in year-end bonus money for the noshows.
Williams was top-seeded for this $180,000 tournament and was to begin play tomorrow after receiving a first-round bye.
"I feel I cannot make the journey this week, as I am mentally and physically exhausted after three consecutive weeks of tennis," she said in a statement released by the WTA Tour.
The organizers of the Seat Open called Williams' decision incomprehensible and said it showed lack of respect for tennis fans.
"Such behavior will cause great damage to the international women's tennis," said Charles Koster, chairman of International Women's Tennis Promotion Luxembourg.
Players lose 7.6 percent of their bonus money each time they pull out of a tournament to which they have committed.
Williams pulled out of a tournament in Hilton Head Island, S.C., because of knee trouble and a tournament in Toronto because of shoulder tendinitis. The 17-year-old also missed Wimbledon because of flu but that is not considered a WTA Tour event.
Tour representative John Dolan said Williams still could recoup some or all of the $16,900 if she commits to more events this year.
"We are just following the rules," he said. "It is not a punishment."
Players who withdraw because of injury need a medical certificate, but that procedure does not apply when they cite exhaustion.
After winning the U.S. Open two weeks ago, Williams joined the U.S. team that won the Federation Cup final against Russia.
Williams is to play tournaments in Munich and Folderstadt, Germany, in the coming weeks.
"I was very much looking to forward to beginning my fall season at Luxembourg." Williams said.
She was replaced in the field by Belgian Els Callens.
In an all-German match, fifth-seeded Anke Huber led Marlene Weingaertner 6-0, 5-0 before her opponent retired with a strained stomach muscle
two more seeded players fell on the second day. Qualifier Jelena Kostanie of Croatia beat the 7 Sylvia Plischke of Austria 6-2, 6-2 and its Italy's Rita Grande downed No. 8 Anne Kreme of Luxembourg 6-4, 6-4.

Bands set for night showcase
5,000 youth musicians to play at game, in streets
By Emily Hughey writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Saturday night, in between touchdowns and field goals, gleaming brass and sparkling sequins will march the field of Memorial Stadium.
It's the 52nd annual KU Band Day, and
Tom Stidham, Band Day coordinator and
associate director of bands, likes the look
of 5.000 musicians on the nighttime field.
"I think it's really cool to see that many bands under the lights," Stidham said. "Some of the instruments shine, and the buttons of the uniforms kind of glow and some of the little sparkles on the flag corps uniforms kind of sparkle. I thought
last year it was really a spectacular sight."
last year it was ready a specimen in lag. For years, Band Day has been an opportunity for Kansas and Missouri high school band students to experience the feel of playing in a college stadium. However, that was not always the case.
Stidham said that Band Day began 52 years ago when former band director Russell Wiley spawned the idea as a recruiting tool for the University of Kansas.
"It started as a promotional recruiting tool ... so high school students could come and see the campus, which we think is one of the most beautiful campuses in the country." Stidham said.
Since then, it has evolved into a 60 to 70-band extravaganza at which all the bands march onto the field at halftime and play a medley of songs in unison. On the play this year are "I'm a Jayhawk," "Brasses to the Fore," "Barbara Ann," "Hey! Baby!"
and "Patriotic Finale." Stidham said he was expecting about 65 bands to march this year at the 6:30 p.m. game against San Diego State.
Emily Dose, Overland Park senior and trumpet section leader, said she thought Band Day was a great opportunity for high school students to get experience performing.
"You get a lot of kids who don't get to get out of their towns and don't get to experience a lot of band activities outside of their football games." Dose said. "Here, they're having fun, they're going to be seen, they're learning a lot and they're going to feel important. It's really important to have these experiences."
The annual Band Day Parade will begin at 1 p.m. at Seventh and Massachusetts streets and will continue to South Park, 11th and Massachusetts streets.

University belt must tighten under Graves' spending plan
By Clay McQuistion
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Gov. Bill Graves asked all state agencies to cut spending by one percent yesterday—a move that could lead to a $2 million budget cut for the University of Kansas.
The cuts would be effective for the current fiscal year, which began July 1. Graves wants to lessen pressure on the state's general fund by $44 million.
In a written statement, Chancellor Robert Hemenway said the University's share of the money would have to be taken out of this year's budget.
"For KU, the budget cut will mean about $2 million must be taken from existing programs." Hemenway said in the statement. "Layoffs may not be necessary, but a hiring freeze probably will be."
A hiring freeze would mean that vacant positions at the University would not be filled.
The chancellor questioned why state agencies were not supported fully.
it is clear that state revenues are not adequate to fund operations of the University as well as other services of the state." Hemenway said. "The governor is being fiscally responsible and we must respect his actions. It is fair to ask, however, how did this happen? At a time when the Kansas economy is thriving and when unemployment is at an all-time low, why have we not provided funds to run state government?"
Tom Hutton, university relations director, said there was pressure on the University to curb spending.
"It's not like we have to find it this week, but in the balance of the next fiscal year," he said.
"This is not a crisis," Goossen said. "This

is simply a midcourse correction."
The Department of Education's budget would be cut by the most, $22.5 million, because it spends the most general fund dollars. The university system would lose $6.4 million.
The 1999 Legislature agreed to a 4.9 percent increase in general fund spending for fiscal year 2000. Including Graves' proposed cuts, the increase in spending compared to fiscal year 1999 would still be 3.8 percent.
"I really don't anticipate that you're going to see huge effects from this," Gooosen said. "Most good managers can find ways to manage through this."

University, police on lookout for illegal handicapped tags
By Michael Terry
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The University of Kansas Parking Department says students' use of illegal handicapped parking placards is a problem on campus.
Donna Hultine, assistant parking director, said that the department always kept its eyes open for individuals with illegal placards and that about one violation was discovered every week.
With the recent incident at the University of California at Los Angles, in which 19 current and former UCLA football players were caught illegally possessing handicapped parking placards, it has become an issue on campuses across the country.
country. On Tuesday, the parking department caught two students who were in illegal possession of handicapped placards, Hultine said. One student actually had a placard that belonged to her aunt who died in 1994, she said.
"When we catch students in possession of an altered or stolen handicapped parking placard we issue a ticket that carries a fine of $100." Hultine said. "In some cases we'll have their car towed or even revoke their parking privileges on campus."
sons.
"A woman called last week and informed me that her boyfriend used an illegal placard on campus and she wanted him to be caught." Hultine said. "She gave us his name, what the type and color his car was and his license plate number."
campus. Hultine said that the department usually caught individuals with illegal placards after they were reported on the phone for various reasons.
"We don't go out looking for people with illegal placards, but if the placard looks suspicious we'll check it out," Hultine said. "A car with a license plate from one state and a placard issued from another always throws up a red flag for us to check it out."
Hultine said that in those cases their office contacted the department of motor vehicles from the state where the placard had been issued. She said her office did that to see whom the placard had been issued to, when it would expire and whether it had been stolen.
"Our procedure is a little different than that of the parking department," Mailen said. "Our office will issue a citation for the violator to appear in municipal court, where a judge will decide how much to fine an individual."
Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office said that the police also checked out suspicious placards whenever possible.
The University is required by the Americans with Disabilities Act to provide one handicapped parking space for every 25 spaces in a parking lot, Hulting said.
Beth Visocsky, municipal court manager for the Lawrence, said that the fine for the possession of an illegal placard was either a fine of up to $500, up to a month in iail or both.
It's important to have handicapped spaces available for those who need it, Hultine said, because they don't have other alternatives when it come to parking.
"It makes me mad when I see students parking in these spaces who really don't need them," she said.

Magazine editor condemnns students in Kansas schools
By Jim O'Malley Special to the Kansan
"A grotesque perversion." That's what a major scientific magazine has called the State Board of Education's decision to remove evolution from the required science curriculum.
In an editorial in the October issue of Scientific American, Editor-in-Chief John Rennie said the board endorsed ignorance of science and lowered the state's educational standards because of a covert social agenda. He said college and university admissions officials nationwide should scrutinize closely the qualifications of applicants from Kansas.
Rennie told the Kansan that it was not his intent to punish students from Kansas. It was the board's actions that had punished students, he said.
"I'm not the one who is against teaching them something," Rennie said. "This decision leaves a lot of Kansas schoolkids less well-educated than they should be."
He said he wrote the editorial after hearing the opinions of many scientists.

Alcohol poisoning concern sends student to hospital
A KU student was found lying on the floor of the fifth floor men's bathroom at Oliver Hall at 12:24 a.m. m yesterday.
Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office said the woman had been drinking shots of vodka when she began to feel sick. He said the Lawrence Douglas County Fire and Medical Department was called in to evaluate the student for possible alcohol poisoning.
The student was conscious and not in serious condition but was transferred to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for observation, Mailen said.

Three auto burglaries reported near GSP-Corbin
A series of automobile burglaries occurred between 9 p.m. Sunday and 5 p.m. Monday in the parking garage located at lot 111 by Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall.
Three students' cars were broken into, and their car stereos and CDs were stolen. The items were estimated to be worth a total of $1,450.
Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office said the office was investigating the incident for possible connections with other thefts from parked cars on campus and around the City of Lawrence.
"We're checking into the method by which these cars are being broken into to hopefully discover leads that will lead to an arrest," he said. "We've been working in conjunction with the Lawrence Police Department to look ipto individuals with prior records in this area to see if there are any similarities."

Mailen said the office did not have any suspects at the time.
New phone directories to be released tomorrow
Phone operators should be getting a bit of a reprieve tomorrow with the release of the new University of Kansas Telephone Directories.
Lisa Eitner, supervisor of the Mt. Oread Bookshop, said University Relations would distribute the phone books to campus offices and various students organizations, including residence halls and scholarship halls this week. She said students who lived off campus could purchase them at the Kansas or Burge Union bookstores.
"We separately acquire a quantity of them, which we pay for and then resell to those who did not receive one during the general distribution," Eitner said.
The phone books cost $4 for individuals without a current KUID and $2 for students with a KUID.
Toni Achten, a KU phone operator, said that despite the arrival of the phone books, there would not be a dramatic decrease in phone calls received by KU operators.
"I never notice a drop, but I'm sure there would be some drop off," she said. "There are a lot of people who don't want to look the numbers up themselves, and so they just call us," she said.

Accused naked man faces two new charges
LAWRENCE
William Alen Morris, Danville, Ala., freshman, was arrested Sept. 11 and charged with aggravated burglary and attempted sexual battery.
Yesterday, at his first appearance in Douglas County court, Morris faced those charges — and two more.
Morris was charged for the Sept. 11 case and for a second case stemming from events that occurred July 20. In both cases, the victims were female University of Kansas students.
On Sept. 11, Morris allegedly entered a house at the 1600 block of Tennessee Street, walked around naked and knelt by one of the female residents' beds.
He was apprehended by Lawrence police at 2:45 that morning. The original charges stand. Charges on the July 20 case are aggrivated burglary and aggrated criminal sodomy.
The victim declined to comment on the details of the case.
Kansas law defines sodomy as oral contact or oral penetration of the female genitalia or oral contact of the male genitalia; anal penetration of a female or male by any body part or object or oral or anal copulation or sexual intercourse between a person and an animal.
Judge Paula Martin set bond for the second case at $50,000. Officer Scott Robertson said Morris was booked at the Douglas County Jail at 9:45 p.m.
Morris applied for, and was granted, a court-appointed attorney. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for 1:45 p.m. sept. 30 in Division 5 court.

In the Aug. 31 blast, a caller said he wanted to "gid ret of some of them niggers." No one was hurt, and there was little damage from that blast.

BRYAN, Texas—A jury yesterday weighed the life-or-death fate of a white supremacist who bragged that the dragging death of an African-American man had made him and his buddies "bigger stars" than O.J. Simpson.
"There are obvious, common-sense connections you could make," said Byron Price, FBI supervisor in Tallahassee. He but added that authorities have no concrete evidence linking the two explosions.
Jury to decide fate of white supremacist
After hearing testimony for eight days, the panel had two options for Lawrence Russell Brewer: life in prison or death. Deliberations began just before 10 a.m.
The same jury considering Brewer's punishment on Monday convicted the 32-year-old parolee of capital murder.
Brewer's former prison pal, John William King, 24, already is on death row, convicted and condemned in February for the murder of James Byrd J. A third man, Shawn Allen Berry, 24, is set to be tried next month. Prosecutors also will seek the death penalty in that case.
In June 1998, Byrd, a former vacuum cleaner salesman from the east Texas timber town of Jasper, was harned by the ankles with a 241/2-foot logging chain to the bumper of a pickup truck and dragged for three miles.

Search for child killer expands

Manhunt includes all of Morris County
COUNCIL GROVE — The search for Scotty Adam expanded yesterday throughout Morris County, where law enforcement officials believed he remained on foot after escaping from the county jail.
Adam faces nearly 42 years in prison for shaking a 16-month-old boy to death. Law enforcement officials acknowledged no local residents have reported definitive sightings of him.
Law enforcement officers have concluded Adam escaped from the Morris County Jail on his own Tuesday, just hours after he was sentenced. He got out of an exercise yard by climbing a 10-foot
chain link fence topped with razor wire.
Officers searched Tuesday night in areas southeast and north of Council Grove, but Morris County Sheriff R.J. Meierhoff said tracking dogs lost Adam's scent and the search expanded countywide at daybreak.
Meierhoff said he was confident Adam would be caught. About 30 local officers, Kansas Highway Patrol troopers and Kansas Bureau of Investigation agents continued the search.
"I imagine he's getting pretty cold, pretty tired and pretty hungry," Meierhoff told reporters during a news conference. "I think he's on foot."

Law enforcement officials continued using tracking dogs, as well as surveillance aircraft. They were checking farm fields and wooded areas throughout the
Officials noted Adam had family ties to the area because his parents own a liquor store in Council Grove. Also, they noted they have received no reports of stolen vehicles or burglaries of homes or businesses since his escape.
"We feel pretty strongly that he is still in or near the area," Scott Teeselink, a Kansas Bureau of Investigation agent, told reporters.
Adam, 24, originally was charged with first-degree murder in connection with the October 1998 death of Timothy Post. Adam pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in August.
The boy was the son of Adam's then-girlfriend, Jessica McAuley Post. Adam was on parole at the time of the boy's murder after serving part of a sentence for the 1993 stabbing death of a Kansas State University student.

Dreams of service's success are just bedtime stories
tori O 'oile
writer@kansas.com
Kansas staff writer
By Lori O'Toole
A bedtime story and a guarantee of sweet dreams were two benefits some pledge class members at Sigma Alpha Epsilon offered interested bidders through their own "tuck-in service."
The service, which was reportedly a failed attempt to raise money for a future pledge class trip to Las Vegas, was advertised on fliers distributed in campus residence halls.
Lee Curbow, pledge class president and Olathe freshman, said he did not know any specific information about the service, which was organized and operated by two of the pledge members.
own without getting it approved by the house president." he said.
Curbaw said he didn't know how much a tuck-in would cost.
"I think they went and did it on their
Chad Lawton, Olathe freshman and one of the pledge members who arranged the service, refused to comment.
The house president did not return phone calls from the Kansan, and the fraternity's national headquarters in Evanston, Ill., would not comment on policies regarding such services.
Bill Nelson, director of greek programs, said the tuck-in service had not been approved by the Interfraternity Council or the Panhellenic Association.
He said that the concept of tuck-ins was not new to greek systems at the University of Kansas or elsewhere. He added that in past years, fraternities and sororites that
had teamed up for other events sometimes had agreed to have a tuck-in preceding or following a major event.
"It's always very innocent, done in good humor, good taste and good faith," Nelson said. "It's cute, it's not intending to bring harm, bring fear, bring intimidation."
Although Nelson did not have a chance to contact any members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon before commenting, he said the difference between past tuck-ins and what the pledge members' tuck-in appeared to be was the context.
"My concerns from looking at the fler are what appears to be the impersonal nature of it and the accessing of others' sleeping quarters," he said.
Amanda Lewis, Olathe freshman and Templin Hall desk assistant, said that about three weeks ago while she was
working, two Sigma Alpha Epsilon pledge class members tried to get permission to post filers in Templin.
"I thought I'd help them out," she said. "It was just easy that they even did it."
Lewis, who is friends with one of the pledge members, said she posted a flier on her door, as did a girlfriend of one of the pledge members who lived in Oliver Hall. She said she was not sure what a tool is.
Lewis, who lives on the eight floor of Ellsworth Hall, said one of Templin Hall's resident assistants had denied the pledge members permission, but Lewis said she offered to take some to her floor to distribute them to some of her floormates.
She said she was not sure what a tuck-in would include.
The filers read: "Have the men of Sigma Alpha Epsilon tuck you in at night and read you a bedtime story, guaranteed a
peaceful nights sleep and many sweet dreams."
Lewis said none of the female Ellsworth residents she gave fliers to ordered a tuck-in, but they considered organizing a surprise birthday tuck-in for one of their floormates.
She said she was at the fraternity house a couple weeks ago when she saw a group of women from Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall place an order for a tuck-in, but did not know who the women were.
"The guys didn't go," Lewis said. "I don't think they were really serious about it. But I think they were relieved that they even got a call. They expected more response from it. They didn't want to bother doing it just for a couple of girls."

Change to autumn draws early morning observers
Equinox important for Wiccan religion
By Todd Halstedt writer @kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Day and night are getting equal time today as the autumnal equinox ushers in fall at 6:31 a.m.
The equinox occurs when the ecliptic, or the sun's path, crosses the celestial equator on or around Sept. 23. During the equinox, the sun appears to be moving across the equator from the northern celestial hemisphere to the southern celestial hemisphere. During the vernal equinox in the spring, the sun appears to journey back north.
"One of the nice things about this is that the sun rises and sets almost exactly due east and west," said Barbara Anthony-Twarog, professor of astronomy. "Some people enjoy trying to mark the sun rise."
One of those people who enjoys observing the implications of the autumn equinox is Ted Johnson Jr., professor in French and Italian.
This morning, Johnson planned to guide a group of students and Lawrence residents through an exploration of the orientation of campus buildings in relation to the stars and the equinox itself.
He said that buildings such as the Natural History Museum have sculptures and designs that garner attention and discussion as the early morning's shadows pass over them.
"It's fun to have students and townspeople observe how the buildings on the eastern brow of Mount Oread really are oriented in such a way that they work with the North Star and that at the equinox the sun comes right up 14th Street," Johnson said.
He will be doing it all again around 5 a.m. tomorrow at Jayhawk Boulevard and 14th Street.
Johnson said watching from the crest of 14th Street as the sun cleared the horizon caused manhole covers to become engulfed in light.
"You get the sense of the rapidity of our turning Earth and sun at that point," he said. "What is really important is that one never looks at the sun."
The autumnal equinox is also a
time for practitioners of the Wiccan religion to celebrate the end of summer and the harvest it has provided.
Katherine Huxtable, an employee of Academic Computing Services, is of the Wiccan faith. She said she would accompany other Wiccans to pagan-owned land north of Tonganoxie to partake in a ritual in celebration of the equinox.
"Twenty or 30 of us will gather in a circle, and we will create a sacred space by meditating." Huxtable said. "We're trying to use the energy out there during this time of year to work towards a deeper understanding of connections in the world."
She said the autumn equinox was essentially a Wiccan thanksgiving during which the vegetable harvest was celebrated.
Steve Shawl, professor of astronomy, said the autumn equinox was not really an important event, but some people found it interesting to measure the movement of shadows cast by the sun.
"You can watch the sunrise, and you can follow it by sticking a vertical stick in the ground, and see how the shadow's position changes, " he said.

ACLU president to address controversy surrounding seal
By Clay McCuistion
writer@kansan.com
Kanson staff writer
Nadine Strossen, American Civil Liberties Union president, will speak on campus Feb. 15, the University of Kansas chapter of the ACLU said yesterday.
Recent controversies about the KU seal, sidewalk chalk and evolutionary teaching have thrust civil liberties issues into the spotlight at the University.
"Since there's so much controversy going on at KU, we thought it might be good to have the president of the American Civil Liberties Union speak," said Buddy Lloyd, KU ACLU media director. "She is the national spokesman for the ACLU."
The KU ACLU chapter first contacted Strossen in July and
asked her to speak. It finally confirmed her appearance Monday.
"We didn't hear back until we put in a supplementary request about two weeks ago," Lloyd said. "She gets hundreds of requests to speak."
He said Strossen was interested in Kansas and KU issues and would be addressing the controversy about the KU seal.
Strossen is a professor of law at New York Law School and has served as ACLU president since 1991. She is the first woman to lead the group.
The November 1998 issue of Vanity Fair listed Strozen as one of America's 200 most influential women.
Alexis Vanesse, executive director of KU ACLU, met Strossen at a national conference. She said she looked for
ward to Strossen's speech.
Hayley Rumback, Wichita sophomore, said she learned about Strossen through involvement with KU ACLU. She said a diverse audience would benefit from Strossen's speech.
"The KU ACLU is actually quite interested in seeing how she's viewing these situations," Vanesse said. "I can't wait until she comes. She's a really great person."
"Even if they're not big ACLU fans, I think she'll be a really good speaker and give some really good background for students." Rumback said. "It's a pretty big deal. She's a national figure."
The speech, which is free and open to the public, will be at the Kansas Union Ballroom.

Editor criticizes board decision
Although the governor previously had been receiving a steady stream of e-mails about the evolution issue, he said there had been a slight increase after the editorial. He said 95 percent of recent e-mails referred to the magazine's editorial.
"The overwhelming majority of the statements have been in opposition to the board's action." Matson said. The
Scientific American is preaching to the choir. Governor Graves has been very clear in his opposition to the Board decision. Fortunately, there's a firewall in place — the 305 locally elected school boards in Kansas, none of which has yet indicated its intention to adopt these standards."
Linda Holloway, chairwoman of the board, voted for the new standards.
"Our education standards are
far from being lowered from what are in the current standards in Kansas," she said. "In fact, they are more rigorous."
Janet Waugh, board member,
voted against the new standards.
"I think it is a tragedy that our students are receiving this type of response because of our decision," she said. "I think it is a sad day when our students receive this type of reputation that I personally believe is very unfair."

Student Senate could take step to involve non-senators in process
Members of Student Senate are considering a bill that would enable more students to think that they are a part of the legislative process.
This bill would allow committee members who are not senators to co-sponsor a bill with a senator. Though these committee members still would not be able to act alone in sponsorship, it is a big step toward making members more involved in the process.
Although largely symbolic, it is a good idea for several reasons. First, in the past it has been difficult for committees to retain members, in large part because these students thought that they had little influence. Second, it could help future senators learn more about the process. It also could
Bill is an important step in involving more students in writing legislation
help create a more cooperative and inclusive environment in committees among senators and non-senators.
Part of the YOU Coalition's platform last year was to involve more students in Student Senate. One step has been to vary and move the locations of its meetings and make them more accessible to students.
This proposed bill is another positive sign indicating that senate members are trying to get more students involved.
This proposal is not a dramatic
change. Senators still would be sponsoring the bills. Basically, non-senators would have their names on the legislation, but their roles would not be significantly different. But sometimes all it takes for a person to feel more included in a process is a small inclusive step, such as this bill.
Progress still needs to be made before a large amount of campus involvement is present in Student Senate, as indicated by low voter turnout.
Every step Student Senate is willing to take to broaden student opportunity for involvement should be embraced. Students who are not elected as senators should be able to make a real impact in getting things accomplished through Student Senate.

Jumping the gun not police's job
The recent slayings of suspects by members of the New York Police Department have spiraled out of control, causing dire consequences. Excessive police brutality must be stopped.
For example, in late August, Gideon Busch was shot 12 times by four NYPD officers after a neighbor called to register a complaint that Gideon was brandishing a hammer. Police said, Busch was emotionally disturbed and attempted to strike one of the officers with a steel hammer. It was at that point that the officers opened fire and hit his torso with the fatal bullet.
In recent months the NYPD has
Recent shootings highlight the need for prudent judgment in the use of deadly force
had problems approaching suspects and has resorted to extremely violent measures to subdue them. There was no reason to kill Busch, as he was mentally unstable and probably had no intent to kill an officer. Instead of offering this mentally ill man help, the officers shot him without attempting to use other means to subdue him.
Police officers are given the duty to protect and serve their citizens
and are given great power and authority under the the law. We understand the pressure that officers sometimes suffer and appreciate their willingness to put their lives in ieopardy for the public.
But as evidenced by the Busch incident, some officers are abusing their power, and as a result, unnecessarily taking people's lives. Their duty to protect and serve must be scrutinized so officers do not overstep their limits. Busch's death should serve as a clear indicator that police sometimes use excessive force and that police should not remember they are not above the law.

T in six months, if everything goes as planned,
I will move to Israel.
Why stay home when it's not a small world?
I I've been in Israel before, and I've studied abroad three times. The difference this time is that I don't know if I'm coming back.
I've been asked why more generally, why I want to work and live abroad. I've been asked why I'd want to live in country plagued by terrorist attacks. I've been asked why I'd want to live in another country at all because we have everything in the United States.

But do we? I love the United States and know that our country has a lot to offer, but there is a whole world out there.
Until I went to college, I only could dream of this
world. My foreign experiences had been limited to Canada and the Bahamas. When the opportunity to study abroad in Paris the summer after my freshman year arose, I jumped at the chance. That summer turned into a spring break trip to London and Glasgow, Scotland, which turned into a year abroad in Besancon, France, followed by a spring break trip back to Besancon and ending with my summer in Israel.
Traveling is exciting, but, much more than that, it's enriching. My experiences have not always been positive — I've had my wallet stolen in Cannes, witnessed a man publicly masturbating in Rome and been hopelessly lost in Poland. But I've come away from each experience wiser. Leaving your comfort zone is scary, and many people don't see a reason to do so. However, I don't think anyone can truly live without at least once delving into another culture and forcing the phenomenon of being a stranger in a strange land.
Just when you think you know everything, you'll eat a big meal and announce in French that you're pregnant when you really mean to
Despite my zeal for travel, I have struggled with my decision to move to Israel. This summer I woke up every morning and thought about the fact that I'd be graduating in December and leaving my family and friends to live in a land where camels are a common sight and shoppers rarely enter a mall without having their bags checked for bombs.
Traveling is definitely a humbling experience. No one cares that you're from the "greatest country on earth" when you can't even buy a subway ticket. These pitfalls always are embarrassing at the time but later turn into funny memories and valuable lessons about respecting others. It's easy to laugh at those who don't know English in the United States until you have found yourself in a similar situation in another country.
say that you're full. And this is if you can speak the language at all.
I loved being in Israel this summer, but I'm not yet to the point of feeling at home there. I almost changed my mind a million times. I almost convinced myself I'd be better off working at an American newspaper.
But then I thought, if not now, when? Many of us are just beginning our lives. We are young and free, without families and jobs to tie us down. It is the perfect time to dive into the unknown and expand our horizons. Our options are numerous ranging from study abroad to volunteer work or teaching English as a second language.
Leaving home is scary, but denying yourself the experience of a lifetime for fear of the unknown is scarier. It is easy for Americans to get stuck in a nationalistic rut. We live in a democratic nation and many of us lead safe and comfortable lives.
Safe and comfortable can be limiting, though. Many think the "American way" is the best way. But how can you know what is the best if you never experience anything different?

Feedback Science standards still will be tested
I've read in the Kansan several times lately about different KU groups, most notably Student Senate, condemning the Board of Education's new science standards. Nearly all these groups indicate that they condemn the new standards because they feel that students will not be adequately prepared for college if they are not taught evolution in primary school.
I would just like to point out that, although the BOE removed evolution as a requirement at the elementary and middle school levels, state science tests for high school students will still include evolution and the Big Bang theory. In my opinion, postponing the study of evolution until high school will not be detrimental to Kansas students. Perhaps Student Senate based its decision, not on the actual science standards, but on overgeneralized newspaper headlines.

Blood deficient buzz a bad idea
Amber Stuever's article [Kansan, Sept. 21] on replacing blood with beer is true journalism genius. Not only did it outline exactly what needs to be done in order to gain a plasma-deficient buzz, it blatantly promoted the use of the Allen Fieldhouse blood drive to help achieve such seniority in intellectual life. What's more, can you believe that the most serious of consequences to such action would only be a (possible) 3-day headache (or 3 line paragraph on alcohol poisoning)?
The work holds just about as much journalistic integrity as Katie Hollar's front page breakthrough on exactly how to perfect your fake ID. Publishing rubbish like this anywhere is bad journalism and should have been edited by the writer before hand touched paper. And if it were to go so far, equal reporting should have been used — at least one quote from Watkins on the dangers. Is that too hard to arrange or think of?
This waste of what you determine to be front-page material only adds to the detritus which UDK reporting has turned to. You are journalism students. Write something useful.

Dean will be missed
As a former employee of the Graduate School and as a graduate student who was very involved in graduate student governance at KU for the past five years, I can tell you that Dean Debicki and his administration (a very small group of people) made great strides in making the University administration and graduate departments aware of graduate student needs and contributions at KU. Much of the information we now have (and which we are still receiving) about how graduate departments meet the variety of needs of graduate students is a direct result of his administration's hard work and care. Dean Debicki was also instrumental in securing funding for a number of fellowships for graduate students; in addition, he and his wife, Mary Elizabeth Debicki, former director of the Office of Study Abroad, made a very large financial contribution to graduate student fellowships (many thousands of dollars) last year. I know I speak for many graduate students who appreciate his concern for our well-being and his efforts to make our presence on campus more visible and viable.
I would like to express my gratitude and respect for Dean [Andrew] Debicki, who will be retiring as dean of the Graduate School and International Programs in July to return to teaching and research.
I absolutely support the format changes that 105.9 the Lazer has made. I now have at least three stations where I can listen to my favorite bands like the Backstreet Boys and 'N SYNC.

Naked article was impotent journalism
In your impotent attempt to be winsome on the front page of the Kansan on September 21st, you appear to be sanctioning sexual battery. Katie Hollar's article on alleged sex-offender William Morris comically juxtaposed with the photo of a male flasher was not only in poor taste but relegated the aberrant behavior of a potential serial rapist to the level of benign freshman "antics." Instead of "Your basic naked guy," Hollar's article could equivalently have been titled, "Boys will be boys."
Hollar's article and its accompanying visual aid presented aggravated burglary and deviant sexual behavior (exhibitionism and public masturbation) as if it were the KU Play of the Week. Comments like, "It's certainly not rare...(male) exhibitionists were commonly products of repressive, religiously harsh or judgmental backgrounds," further implied that
these local break-ins and attacks were nothing more than the actions of an inane streaker acting out. Full of excuses for this "common sexual dysfunction," the article succeeded in exonerating criminal invasion while degrading normal men as if they were all capable of such public perversion solely by the virtue of their gender and upbringing.
Ms. Hollar clearly neglected to research criminal sexual behavior; according to John Douglas, renowned FBI profiler, such nefarious acts frequently escalate to serial rape and further psychopathic violence. I hope that in the future the Kansan exercises greater discretion when depicting crime on campus or in the community.
105.9 The Loser?
Do you agree with this statement? Then speak up! By not letting the "Loser" know that we do not support its decision to play Top 40 then the message is the same as above.
Further, has anyone questioned the big survey that was done to conveniently change their format? Over the summer, I took a survey that I believe to be the same one that they used to justify this decision. Should this be the case that this survey was taken over the summer, none of you had a voice in the decision, and you have been double crossed. There is no interest in Lawrence folks. It's all about an untapped market in Top 40 west of here. Anyone listened to the fact that they now say they are "Topeka and Lawrence's hit music station?"
Darcy Prilliman Bartlesville, Okla., graduate student
We all need to speak out against this corporation that has no interest in Lawrence. If the bands stop coming here, what will happen to the Granada? The Bottleneck? The implications of the format change are far greater than turning off your radios. I urge all of you to not only write letters to the "Loser" but to boycott local businesses that choose to advertise and support the new format. Only when people feel the pressure in their wallets will we have our beloved 105.9 back. Unless of course you are waiting for Jordan Knight to play the Granada.

20th day figures to give vital statistics
By Clay McCuistion and Nathan Willis
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writers
Today, the University of Kansas will get a good look at itself.
This morning, the Board of Regents will release 20th day enrollment numbers for the six universities it directly governs. The figures provide critical feedback, including the total number of students attending state universities, enrollment in degree programs and the types of students attending Kansas colleges.
Diana Carlin, interim associate provost of academic services, said her department looked to the numbers to provide information about the kinds of students enrolled at the University.
"The admissions and scholarship departments have been working very hard at attracting quality students," she said. "Directly, it's a reflection on how we're recruiting."
Carlin said the University didn't want to see a huge increase in the number of students enrolled. Such an increase would
20th day NUMBERS
lead to larger class sizes and scarcer resources, she said.
"That is the University's goal, to keep them pretty level," she said. "We have a pretty good idea of what we can handle efficiently."
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said that, in general, increases in enrollment were gradual.
"We want to make sure our enrollment isn't declining." he said. "Fortunately, it's going up, and it's going up at a relatively controlled rate."
Provost David Shulenburger said the main impact the numbers had on the University was financial.
Shulenburger said the numbers gave a good indication of how much money tuition would bring in for the University.
"A one percent increase in tuition collections is about $800,000," he said. "That's a tiny fraction of the overall budget, but it's still a lot of money."
Lindy Eakin, associate provost for support services, said the funding of some items was based directly on the numbers used in technology, library fees and
For instance, the Regents will decide how much to increase pay for outstanding faculty at each university based on the numbers, he said.
Eakin said that because of changes in the way the University was financed, 20th day numbers were not as important as they once were. Still, they do have a noticeable impact on the University, he said.
"The Regents are trying to distribute $3.5 million across six schools." Eakin said. "Fifty percent is based on the school's budget, and 50 percent is based on enrollment."
"The 20th day is a barometer." Eakin said. "If it falls, it's not good."

Professors, students find good and bad in larger sections
By Amanda Kashube
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
When Becci Mittelstadt flips through the timetable to choose the next semester's classes, she checks for professors and class times. But she also looks at class sizes.
Classes at the University of Kansas range in size from David Holmes' Psychology 104 class with an enrollment of 970 to Carol Holstead's 16-student magazine editing and design class.
"I like the bigger classes better," said Mittelstadt, Overland Park senior. "I like their format, and you know you'll get a lecture, not busy work, each time you go."
While Mittelstadt said she enjoyed the atmosphere of the large auditorium at 120 Budig Hall when it was filled with 790 students for her chemistry 184 class, not all students enjoy a class as large as some Kansas towns.
Jack Mitchell, Wellington freshman, enrolled in Charlotte
Collins' psychology 104 class with an enrollment of 30 because he liked the smaller setting.
"In a bigger class, it's harder to stay focused," he said. "In a smaller class, the teacher knows you."
Peter Hierl, professor of chemistry, and Andrew Borovik, associate professor of chemistry, jointly teach Mittelstadt's chemistry class. Hierl said the large setting didn't hinder teaching.
"All students get the same lecture from the same professor," he said. "From the University's standpoint, it's cost effective. If you broke it down into 50 students, you'd have 20 sections, and there's no way the University can afford to hire 20 new faculty members."
Hierl said that when he was an undergraduate at the University, every one of his math, physics and chemistry classes had 1,000 students.
"We felt fortunate to have the top professors," he said. "It's your best shot to get one."
However, Borovik said many other students felt intimidated by the large setting and were less likely to participate in questions brought up in lecture.
"There isn't any one-to-one discussion," Borovik said. "It's also hard to get to know the class."
"There is equal learning whether it be a small or large class."
professor of chemistry
Peter Hierl
Mittelsadt said she had never felt intimidated in any of her large classes.
Borovik said the bigger classes were more of a challenge for him
One that he said is, "You have to make sure you get the whole class involved," he said. "At 8:30 in the morning, it's a challenge to get people involved in chemistry."
For students who can't avoid enrolling in a large section, there are ways to reduce the shock of being surrounded by hundreds of students in class.
Amanda Buchanan, Overland Park freshman, said she usually sat in the front row in Holmes' class to make her feel more comfortable.
"I prefer the smaller classes, but I sit in front so I'm not so overwhelmed," she said. "I'm kind of intimidated to ask questions, though."
Hierl said the larger classes often produced a more passive
"People are hesitant to ask questions in front of 1,000 people." he said. "There's a loss of engagement."
This semester's chemistry class is the first time Borovik has taught such a large class. While he is used to smaller settings, he said he was not totally opposed to the new format.
"My colleagues think that students can absorb the same amount of knowledge in the larger classes," Borovik said. "We've had one exam and the class did well. I hope it will continue."
A large class size, while discomfort to some students, is also a strain on professors.
Hierl said his visits during office hours increased dramatically when he took on a large class.
"Each one of them wants to see you sometime about an exam," he said. "There are constantly lines outside my office."
While some students may be wary of enrolling in larger classes. Mittelstadt remains a believer.
"I don't think they hinder learning," she said. "There's equal learning, whether it be a small or large class."

States not prepared for terrorist attacks on health systems, medical officials say
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Local public health systems remain ill-prepared to respond to potential biological or chemical terrorist attacks, emergency management and medical officials told a House subcommittee yesterday.
An administration official, acknowledging the situation, said the Department of Health and Human Services was working hard to improve it.
"Public health is a critical component of a comprehensive response plan, yet, collectively, we are far from where we need to be to have an integrated response capability in every state." Ellen Gordon, immediate past president of the National Emergency Management Association, told the House Government Reform Committee panel on national security, veterans affairs and international relations.
Gordon, also the administrator of Iowa's emergency management division, said state emergency management directors thought there were a variety of reasons why most state public health systems were unprepared. Among them, she said, are lack of coordination among medical, emergency management and law enforcement agencies and little capacity to detect a potentially deadly biological attack soon after it occurs.
"States need the immediate help of Congress and the federal government to bring the public health system up to an appropriate level of readiness." Gordon said.
A Senate committee heard similar testimony at a hearing in June 1998.
testimony a hearing in-house. Rock Joseph Waeckerle, chairman of the American College of Emergency Physicians' Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Task Force, said many plans were based on a model that does not address biological agents, which require a different response from than a chemical spill or attack.
Emergency health care personnel should be trained to recognize and respond to such attacks, he said.
Militias showing defiance in E. Timor
Hungry refugees loot food in Dili; 1 journalist killed
DILI, East Timor — Struggling to keep the situation in East Timor under control, peacekeepers stopped crowds of hungry refugees from looting yesterday, collected weapons from pro-Indonesian militias and sent an advance team into the territory's second-largest city.
But in the first show of defiance toward the international force,armed men killed one Western journalist and attacked two others, raising fears that the peacekeepers
The Associated Press
themselves could come under attack as they deploy into more areas outside Dili.
Many Indonesians accuse the foreign media of stirring up problems in East Timor and conspiring with the United Nations to rig the outcome of an Aug. 30 referendum, in which East Timorese voted overwhelmingly to become independent from Indonesia.
"It would appear that the militia have attempted to step up some activities as a show that all is not yet secure. Well, I would agree with that," said Australian Maj. Gen. Peter Cosgrove, commander of the peace-keeping force.
Cosgrove said he did not have enough soldiers to protect all of the residential areas in East Timor's ravaged capital, Dili.
Thousands of East Timorese descended from the hills yesterday morning and stormed a government warehouse, looting 110-pound sacks of rice, sugar and tins of

cooking oil. Indonesian guards were overwhelmed, but peacekeepers soon arrived and brought the crowd under control without using force.
Ellie Hajek / KANSAN
Relief efforts, which began again yesterday, were expected to pick up today. Food drops had been suspended since Monday in favor of airlifting peacekeepers and supplies for the multinational force.
Less than half the force, expected to number 7,500, was in the territory by yesterday.
Despite the paucity of troops, 150 peacekeepers flew in Blackhawk helicopters to East Timor's second-largest city, Baucau, to secure the airport, said Brig. Mark Evans, land forces commander.
The airstrip in Baucau, 80 miles east of Dili, could be useful in bringing supplies to desperate refugees hiding in the thickly forested mountains. The refugees had fled rampaging pro Indonesia militias, angered about East Timor's vote for independence.
Justice Department sues tobacco industry for fraud
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Justice Department sued the tobacco industry yesterday to recover billions of dollars taxpayers have spent on smoking-related health care, accusing cigarette-makers of a coordinated campaign of fraud and deceit.
The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court alleges the cigarette companies conspired since the 1950s to defraud and mislead the American public and to conceal information about the effects of smoking.
"Smoking is the nation's largest preventable cause of death and disease, and American taxpayers should not have to bear the responsibility for the staggering costs," Attorney General Janet Reno said. "For more than 45 years, the cigarette companies conducted their business without regard to the truth, the law, or the health of the American people."
The suit names Philip Morris Inc.; Philip Morris Companies; R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co.; American Tobacco Co.; Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp.; British-American Tobacco P.L.C.; British-American Tobacco
(Investments) Ltd.; Loriillard Tobacco Co. Inc.; Liggett and Myers Inc.; The Council for Tobacco Research U.S.A. Inc.; and the Tobacco Institute Inc.
In the complaint, the U.S. government alleges that for the past 43 years, the companies that manufacture and sell tobacco have waged an intentional, coordinated campaign of fraud and deceit. The long-anticipated lawsuit alleges the companies engaged in a conspiracy in violation of the federal law against civil racketeering.
President Clinton issued a written statement declaring that the Justice Department is taking the right course of action. It is time for America's taxpayers to have their day in court, he said.
Reno announced the department was formally closing, without charges, a nearly 5-year-old criminal investigation of whether tobacco companies lied to Congress or regulatory agencies about the addictive nature of tobacco.
"We are moving forward." Reno, joined by acting Assistant Attorney General David Ogden, told a news conference yesterday.
Senate panel finds Y2K problems
Short-term disruptions such as higher gas prices power outages may occur
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The world won't end on Jan. 1 with a Y2K-related computer crash, but Americans should be ready for short-term disruptions ranging from higher gas prices to local power outages, a Senate panel said yesterday.
With 100 days left before computers run up against the year 2000 date, federal agencies and the national infrastructure are in solid shape, but seven states remain in the danger zone with less than 70 percent of computer systems ready, the Y2K panel said in its final report.
The situation is similar in the private sector, with big businesses, particularly in the banking and investment industry, confident their computers are ready while many smaller businesses could run into trouble.
"There will not be a horizontal, systematic failure," said Sen. Robert Bennett, R-Utah, who heads the Senate panel with
Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn.
Bennett's committee has held nearly 30 hearings since spring of last year on the consequences of the Y2K glitch, in which computers programmed to read only the last two digits of a year might mistake the year 2000, or "00," as 1900.
He noted that the federal government would have spent some $8 billion to fix its computers and the nation as a whole from $50 billion to $150 billion.
This investment appeared to have paid off, he said. National power grids, phone systems, ATM machines and air travel should work fine on Jan. 1.
"I do not expect the four horsemen, armed with flood and catastrophe, to be riding on Jan. 1, 2000," said Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, D-N.Y., one of the first lawmakers to raise the Y2K issue.
But the report also warned against complacency. It cited an August survey that concluded that seven states — Alabama, California, Colorado, Hawaii, New Hampshire, New Mexico and Wyoming
— had fixed less than 70 percent of systems affecting such programs as child nutrition, food stamps and unemployment insurance.

KU economist aids Russian recovery
By Jenny Barlow Special to the Kansan
Tales of mafia bosses, terrorist bombings, money laundering and economic trials have placed Russia in the spotlight — a country with growing social problems.
However, a University of Kansas professor has made a contribution to finding a solution for Russia's woes.
Since 1994, Mohamed El-Hodiri, professor of economics, has been the director of the National Training Foundation in Russia, a nonprofit organization that assists the Russian Parliament in building institutions for democracy through financial advising.
El-Hodiri has had an interest in Russia since he visited the country in 1958 as a student at Moscow State University, where he studied mathematics and language.
The Barent's Group, a consulting firm for economics and banking, based in Washington, D.C., sponsors the foundation and its projects.
Forty paid economics experts from around the world, including El-Hodiri, worked together in various cities around Russia to train 1,200 Russian business people. The courses taught five themes of finance: health care, infrastructure, solutions to social problems, cultural needs and economic development and growth. The students received diplomas after the three-week sessions were completed.

Of the officials who participated in the training program, 200 will visit the United States to further their studies. Twenty already have visited the University, and 20 others will arrive next week.
Since the fall of communism in the former Soviet Union in 1991, the Russian people have been dealing with the transition to a capitalist society.
"Many Westerners went with a historical view of democracy and capitalism," said Bruce Berglund,
assistant to the director of the Center of Russian and Eastern European studies. "People expected Russia to quickly create a system like we have in the '90s in America without recognizing both economies are the product of the same system but at different periods of evolution."
El-Hodiri said Russia rapidly was becoming a third-world country.
"Much of the economic activity is undeclared, too many raw materials are being exported instead of used in national industries, and the government's laws are poorly organized and enforced," he said.
El-Hodiher also said monopolies were replicated because of mafa involvement in business.
"Hired killings in Russia are on the rise with typical targets being anyone in the way of the mafia, commonly journalists who know too much, or bankers who are killed to settle accounts." he said.
Solutions will come from the construction of free democratic institutions and social structures, El-Hodiri said.
He returned to the University earlier this month and now is teaching an honors tutorial called Revolution, Reform and Restoration in Russia. He said he would continue to make short trips to Russia until the end of October, when the project would be completed.
Maria Carlson, director of the Center for Russian and Eastern European Studies, praised El-Hodiri's efforts.
"Mohamed approaches Russia's problems as someone who understands the culture and country and has a real knowledge of the actual needs," she said.

Russians mourn Raisa Gorbachev's death
The Associated Press
MOSCOW— Several thousand Russians paid their last respects yesterday to Raisa Gorbachev — and some also asked forgiveness for a nation that reviled her while she lived for being the antithesis of the typical Soviet leader's wife.
Mrs. Gorbachev's death Monday, after a battle with acute leukemia, has prompted an outpouring of veneration from ordinary Russians.
"That's a peculiarity of our nation — they know how to bury, but they can't honor the living," said one mourner, Yelena Bondarenko.
A solemn procession for the wife of former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev lined up outside the
Russian Culture Fund, which she founded. Mourners waited more than an hour to lay flowers at the foot of her coffin, which was heaped with blossoms.
The mourners were mostly women, and mostly middle-aged or elderly — about the same age as Mrs. Gorbachev, who was 67 when she died. They also were members of a generation that had bitterly resented her for being stylish, sophisticated and outspoken.
World leaders including President Clinton, French President Jacques Chirac and German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder sent condolences to the Gorbachev family.
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and President Boris Yeltsin's wife, Naina, along with several
other government and parliamentary leaders, came to pay tribute at Mrs. Gorbachev's coffin.
Many ordinary mourners cried;
a few crossed themselves.
"This is just so hard for me," an elderly woman kept saying to herself as she wiped away tears, while leaning against a lamppost just outside the Culture Fund building.
While Mrs. Gorbachev was deeply admired in the West, Russians resented her for her designer clothes, her poise and most of all for daring to appear by her husband's side in public.
"I have come to pay my last respects, my last due — but also to ask forgiveness for all our people, who poured so much mud on her," said a retired musician, German Varamov. "I only have the consolation that I have never thrown a stone at her."
The mourning ceremony was scheduled to last five hours, but Gorbachev decided to extend it when the flow of people showed no sign of abating.
A Russian television newscast yesterday compared Mrs. Gorbachev to Princess Diana and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Others admired the Gorbachevs' unashed love and devotion to each other.
"That love and loyalty was unbelievable — worthy of Romeo and Juliet," said Lyudmila Anis, an entrepreneur from Moscow.
Gorbachev had been by his wife's bedside almost around the clock for the nearly two months she was hospitalized in Muenster, Germany.

Bill benefits non-Senate members
By Chris Borniger writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Student Senate committees unanimously passed a bill last night that would allow non-senators to write and co-sponsor legislation.
Both the University Affairs and Student Rights committees passed the bill with overwhelming support and without having to go to a vote. Full Senate will vote on the legislation on Wednesday.
Senate rules and regulations restrict sponsorship privileges to senators. Dede Seibel, student body vice president and the bill's co-sponsor, said she didn't feel she had had much of a voice in Senate as a non-senator committee member her freshman year.
"I've always kind of felt like
committee members don't have the chance to empower themselves on committees," she said. "This will afford you the opportunity to, if want to be a student senator, know how the legislation works beforehand."
Jessica Bankston, Nunemaker senator and another co-sponsor, said the legislation also would benefit senators by keeping them more in touch with their constituents.
"I can't possibly gauge my entire constituency accurately," she said. "With more non-senators involved in the process, I'm able to be that much more fair and accurate to the people I represent."
Bankston said the legislation also could help committees retain their memberships.
they have more ownership of the whole process," she said.
"Hopefully people will feel like
Eric Snider, chairman of University Affairs and a member of the committee for the past three years, is a non-senator. He said bringing more committee members into the process would make the Senate a more representative body.
"It's a step in the right direction," Snider said. "The heart and soul of what people care about comes out in committees. This is opening the door of opportunity to them."

Kansan sportswriter
Tim Bowers is smart enough to realize that football can only take him so far.
Sure, he's strong — he bench presses 325 pounds and he's fast — he runs a 4.7 second 40-yard dash — but it's his other talents that make him more than just a football player.
A junior co-captain from Columbus, Ohio, Bowers is a starting outside linebacker for the Jayhawks. He's had a solid season so far. He is second on the team in quarterback sacks and is tied for the team lead in tackles for losses, but his big play ability has set him apart.
He became the first Jayhawk in four years to record a safety, and his blocked punt last week led directly to a Kansas touchdown against Colorado.
But all of that is nothing compared to what he does with his free time.
A pre-medicine biology major, Bowers excels in the classroom. He's a two-time Big 12
Conference academic All-Conference, a GTE district All-America, a five-time Jayhawk scholar and was nominated for the Arthur Asher Jr. Sports Scholar Award.
He plans to go to medical school when he graduates but is thinking about taking some time off to recount.
"I've been thinking about picking up a minor before then," Bowers said. "But I probably take six or eight months off before I spend the next five years in med school."
His academic record would make Bowers stand out from the crowd, but he also has devoted his last two summers to spending time with teenagers — along with his off-season training regimen for football. Lifting weights and running during the day kept him busy when he wasn't working for the Upward Bound program of Lawrence.

'Hawks fall to Texas despite high intensity
By Shawn Hutchinson
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas volleyball team tried everything in its power to derail the No.8 Texas Longhorns last night in the Big 12 Conference opener at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. In the end, though, the Longhorns were just too much.
The Longhorns, 7-2, battled the Jayhawks for an hour and 53 minutes before leaving town with a 3-1 victory—but it didn't come easy.
The Jayhawks, 9-3, won the first game in dramatic fashion, 16-14. Kansas jumped out to a 6-1 lead to start the game, but Texas came back and tied the game at 14 before Kansas scored the next two points to take the game.
That game marked the first Kansas win against the Longhorns since Oct. 25, 1996. But that was only one battle.
"I think game one was the most intense game that we have played," Reves said. "I felt the most togetherness on our team than I've ever felt before."
Senior outside hitter Mary Beth Albrecht led the Jayhawk with six kills in the first game, while junior outside hitter Danielle Geronymo chipped in with five kills. Senior middle blocker Amanda Reves added four.
"We battled Texas for as long as we could." Coach Ray Bechard said. "But we still have some issues of execution to work out. The turnaround from game one to game two was all about Texas picking up their game."
The Jayhawks had their opportunities in game two, fighting back from a 11-4 deficit and cutting it to 11-9. The Longhorns responded with four straight points, including two kills from Erin Aldrich, senior middle blocker and All-America candidate tak
The togetherness didn't last for very long, as Texas came back and beat the Jayhawks, 15-9, 15-3 and 15-8.

ing control of the game.
Texas sophomore outside hitter Kathy Tilson led the Longhorns in the match with 19 kills and no errors, while Aldrich chipped in 15 kills.
"We played Aldrich about as good as anyone has," Bechard said. "But we weren't expecting Tilson to have the type of night she had — she really was a key factor in their win."
The Longhorns had a decisive height advantage in the match, with a front line that consists of the 6-2 Aldrich, the 6 foot Tilson, 6-1 junior outside hitter Meggan Kohnen and 6 foot senior outside hitter Sandra Reboucas.
"They're a very athletic team," said Molly LaMere, Kansas sophomore setter. "They're all around the court. We just needed to work a little bit better on our blocking."
LaMere also said the Jayhawks knew that Aldrich would cause some problems.
"We kind of prepared for that a little bit in practice yesterday," LaMere said. "We knew we needed to watch her."
Revels led the Jayhawks with 17 kills in the match, while Geronymy and junior outside hitter Amy Myatt combined for 12 assists. LaMere led the team with 50 assists.
"We competed really hard," Lawrence said.
"I think this match was really good for us."
"I think this match was really good for us." The Jayhawks will travel to Columbia, Mo., to take on the Missouri Tigers at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Hearnes Center.

Three top recruits have Jayhawks on their lists
By Matt Tait
sports@kansan.com
Jared Reiner, a 6-11, 240-pound center from Tripp, S.D., has told Greg Shemitz of Big East Briefs that he has narrowed his schools down to a final five.
Kansan sportswrien.
As the end of the early signing period for high school seniors nears, Kansas awaits the decision of one recruit and continues its push for two others.
The schools on his list are Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and Utah. While Reiner has not indicated a favorite, he will travel to Storrs, Conn., for their version of Late Night later this month and will have an in-home visit with the Huskies today.
Conneticut was a late addition to the list of schools recruiting Reiner, but Dan Sabers, Reiner's coach, said he thought Iowa and Kansas were the top two on

Reiner's list.
They are equal on totally different outlooks," Sabers said. "They are both selling the strong points of their programs."
Travon Bryant, a 6-8, 225-pound power forward from Long Beach, Calif., has indicated his favorites list. According to Greg Swaim's report in Fast Break Recruiting, Bryant's top two candidates are Missouri and Kansas, with Kansas holding a slight edge. Bryant also has conducted in-home
Reiner recently announced that he expected to make a decision during the early signing period, citing his desire to get it out of the way and to be able to focus on his senior season at Tripp-Delmont High School.
visits with Cincinnati, Oregon State and South Florida. He told Mike Sullivan of Insiders Report that visits from Cincinnati and Kansas were very good.
"I learned a lot about both schools," Bryant told Sullivan. "Both lasted about two hours, and we spoke about academics for about an hour."
Bryant has said in the past that he planned to stay all four years at college but is not expected to decide on a school until the spring signup period. He will, however, make an official visit to Kansas during the weekend of Oct. 15 to attend Kansas' annual Late Night with Roy Williams — which traditionally has been a big advantage in the recruiting process.
The final prospect that Kansas is pursuing for the class of 2000 is also one of the most highly touted prospects nationwide. DeShawn Stevenson, a 65, 210-pound shooting guard from Fresno, Calif., recently has
out Sullivan that he had a great in-home visit with Kansas.
Stevenson's official visit to Kansas also will come the weekend of Oct. 15. Stevenson, who has had academic trouble, recently told Pac-West Hoops that he would qualify academically by spring. Like Bryant, Stevenson also has Missouri on his list, but the rest of the schools on his list consist of more traditional college basketball powerhouses such as UCLA, Kentucky and Connecticut.
in-home visits end Sunday, and the early signing period runs from Nov. 10 to 17. After that recruits must wait until spring to sign.
Bryant has not said which schools he may choose, but he recently has dismissed rumors that he will jump straight to the NBA.

Rantala finds her acclimation easier with time
Pull out a world map and play connect-the dots with Hilla Rantala's travels. There's a giant check mark.
From her native Finland, Rantala checked out South Alabama for her first two college years. As a junior, she is now Kansas. Her story is filled with language barriers, culture shock and, of course, television.
Rantala should be Kansas' soccer star this year, leading the team back to respectability. She was a two-time leading goal scorer in her conference and tied for player of the year honors. In two years, she scored 27 goals. To put that in perspective, the Kansas program has notched only 50 during the same span.
Coach Mark Francis is thankful that Rantala is healthy now. She will make a difference. Scoring is like breathing; instinctive. The only difference is not everyone can do it. Hilla can resuscitate the Intruder offence.
the Jayhawk's offense.
Rantala has sat out since Aug. 27 with a sore ankle that progressively has been an even bigger pain. She's iced enough to make even the northernmost Finn shiver. For the past couple weeks she could jog lightly, but her right foot could barely strike a ball without her teeth grinding.
"It's horrible," Rantala said last week, before she was

announced fit to play. "I just want to be able to play."
"Well, I knew some of the television shows," she said, "but we get them when they're a few years old."
But a degenerative joint probably will rank as Randalia's easiest modification. When she decided to leave Finland three years ago, she knew she wanted to try America, but she wasn't sure which part. A girl she knew went to Notre Dame on a soccer scholarship, and that's all she knew of this country.
Rantala had taken English during school - a foreign language is required learning for all Finnish pupils - but what she knew gave her little help when she arrived to start college soccer in Alabama, a place she picked like a spring break destination: it was warm.
"Learning a foreign language just in the classroom is so different," Rantala said. "It did very little for me because people speak very different in conversations than they do in textbooks."
The Jenny Jones Show has been important to Rantala. It gave her something to talk about with friends and something to imitate when she stared into her mirror and tried to act like an American. Television allowed her to understand slang.
Rantala needed to fit in. She wasn't particularly homesick, she said, but she missed being able to say what she wanted without sounding like an idiot. Hilla needed a friend. Hilla needed a companion to share her favorite Finnish candy. Hilla found Jenny Jones.
Now, it's easy to confuse Rantala for a native. She likes to shop at American Eagle and Gap. She has the blonde-haired blueeyed look that could pass for a Minnesota or Californian. She has two tattoos - one of the Norwegian berry she is named after on her ankle, and a bright orange sunshine on her right shoulder. And she's definitely your typical American college student.
"I'd love to go out and do more stuff, but I never have any money."
Rantala says she is adjusted. She loves her teammates and especially her coach, whom she followed from South Alabama. There's even a fellow Finn freshman, Mervi Kuittinen, who can gossip with her at soccer practice about American quirks.
Only one problem left. Rantala hates cold winters.
"It's the one thing I'm not looking forward to. That's what I liked about Alabama. It was always nice and warm there. That's why I liked being away from home."
When the winds and snow begin swirling during Kansas' frigid winter, the link will be made between here and home. Hilla's path will have come full circle.
Franchuk is a Boulder, Colo., junior in journalism.

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 6.
You may be a bit confused about the way things are going, but don't worry. Most of the changes are for the better. You might want to cancel your trip for tonight. Travel will be less-complicated during the weekend.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
You've had it pretty good for the past few weeks. Now, it's time to get back to work. There could be all sorts of new responsibilities coming your way soon. Before you get too swamped, make special time for a friend in need. This won't cost more than your attention.
Gemini: Today is an 8.
Your adds have just improved in a lot of different ways, and you'll feel stronger and more confident. You also need to be tuned in to other people, so add "sensitive" to that list, and you'll really score.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
Although you may be stuck at home, connections you make with a foreigner now could turn out well for you. Maybe you could trade houses on your next vacation or something. At any rate, you could become good friends.
Leo: Today is a 6.
The sun going into Libra is a big change for the better. You want to try all sorts of new things — and soon. It may be a while before you get all the bugs worked out, though. So, don't be dismayed if something you try today doesn't work.
Virgo: Today is a 6.
It's about time for you and your mate to buy something you've been thinking about. Think about it so you know what you want before you go shopping this weekend. You'll have an easier time finding this thing if you pin it down beforehand.
Libra: Today is a 7.
You're getting stronger, luckier and smarter. You're also getting more attention. A coworker may be bumbling around, making more messes than progress. Steer that one in the right direction, and you'll get points for being a good manager, too.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Sagittarius: Today is a 7.
You're in love. That's the good news. The bad news is that it interferes with work you should be doing. That, in turn, could cut down on your income just a little. If you've got enough stashed away, this is not a problem.
Capricorn: Today is a 6.
You might have accomplished a few things with your career. That was the whole idea behind all the testing you've been through recently. Now, you're just about done with that. You'll see. Things are going to get a lot easier.
You've already said you'd do something kind of tricky. Trouble is, you don't know how. You were betting on your own immense ability to learn. Now, you have to do that — quickly, too. No problem, right? Start with a couple of good books on the subject.
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
Your luck just took a massive turn for the better. It's about to be vacation time! Your first thought may be, "But, where will I get the money?" That's why you've been counseled to save your money recently. Did you? If so, go! If not, plot.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
You've been found out. People know how wonderful you are. And, sure enough, they'll ask you to do all sorts of favors for them. These may cause a conflict with what you'd rather be doing. You can still be a nice guy and just say "no." Nicely, of course.

After winning entry, 14-year-old loses early
TOKYO — Monique Viele's first appearance on the Women's Tennis Association Tour didn't last long.
The 14-year-old from West Palm Beach, Fla., lost to fellow American Jane Chi 6-3, 6-1 yesterday in the first round of the Toyota Princess Cup.
"I wasn't feeling down at all," Viele said. "I was just happy to be out there. I guess my game was a little off."
"It was like fighting my little sister," she said. "And I did not want to lose to my little sister."
Chi, ranked 69th in the world, did not stand to gain much from this match.
After challenging the WTA Tour rule barring players 14 and under from playing in its events, Viele received a wild card into this tournament. The organization amended its rule in June to allow 14-year-olds to receive one wild card into WTA tour events.
While rain halted most of the day's matches, Vilei and Chi played for 80 minutes under the Ariake Colosseum roof.
BROOKLINE, Mass. — Payne Stewart is the kind of guy who cranks up the volume on Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA" in the hallway of the hotel, someone who would look as comfortable draped in the Stars and Stripes as in his knickers and tam o'shanter.

After securing his spot on the team by winning the U.S. Open, he was at The Country Club within a month getting to know the course. During the last two major championships, he proudly wore a Ryder Cup hat during the practice rounds.
Nothing, however, showed his determination quite like his victory at Pebble Beach in February, which moved him that much closer to his first Ryder Cup team since 1993.

"I want to get on the Ryder Cup team because I'm tired of us losing," he said. "The last two Ryder Cup teams I was on, we won. And the last two I wasn't on, we didn't win."

"He's integral to the success of the program. He made sure the kids were up on time, made it to breakfast, went to class — all that stuff," Martin said.
"It can be a 24-hour-a-day job," Bowers said. "But you get to a lot of the kids, which is really fulfilling."

she wasn't used to.
"He's all buff and cocky, but he's got his own style," Hardiman said. "He's an individual."
His responsibility and academic record are what made Bowers so desirable to the Upward Bound program.
"He's a great role model. He's fantastic in school and in football," Martin said.
Bowers relishes making an impact with students who might have a hard time making the transition from high school to college.
Almost like a father figure, Bowers doesn't intimidate the kids with his physique, and he doesn't try to belittle them with his intelligence.
"Tim's like family to me," Hardiman said. "He laid down the law, but he was real cool about it."

Former Jayhawk appointed to board
By Doug Pacey
Kansan sportswriter
Bill Hougland, a member of Kansas' 1952 NCAA championship basketball team, was appointed to the Kansas All-Sports Hall of Fame Board of Trustees Monday by Gov. Bill Graves.
"This is very much an honor for me," said Hougland, Lawrence resident. "I'm glad to be able to serve at a facility that is very important for the whole state of Kansas."
Houglain said that he was not too surprised by the appointment because he was approached some time ago by several members of the present board and that he was asked if he would be interested in serving on the board.
Members of the board oversee the induction process and the operation of the Kansas All-Sports Hall of Fame in Abilene, said Ted Hayes, executive director of the hall.
The hall, which opened in July 1997, has attracted an average of 10,000 people each year, Hayes said.
Hayes said the hall had a collection of sports memorabilia related to Kansas sports and sports-related activities.
Besides playing on Kansas' NCAA championship basketball team, Houglund played for the 1952 and 1956 gold medal U.S. Olympic basketball teams. He graduated from Kansas in 1952 with a degree in business.
June Ann Bloskey and Barry Schwan also were appointed to the board on Monday.

Women's soccer back in town
Friday's game first at home since Aug.29
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansun.com
Kansas sportswriter
The Jayhawks are returning home, and they would like to bring some fans with them.
After playing on the road for nearly a month, the Kansas women's soccer team returns home tomorrow for its first game at Super Target Field since Aug. 29.
"I'd like to see a lot of people come out," said Coach Mark Francis. "We haven't played here in a while, so I think people should come out to see them. They will definitely see some entertaining soccer this weekend."
Fan attendance is a top priority for the Jayhawks as they bring to the field a completely different
team than they have featured before. The team brings more offensive power, more international players and more energy, all of which they hope will spark fans' interest.

"They will see attacking soccer," Francis said. "We're looking to go forward a lot more than in the past. Especially with Hilla (Rantala) back, they should expect to see more goals."
Kansas also would like to set a new home attendance record this weekend. The current mark of 578 was set October 15, 1995, against Tulsa at the second game ever played on Super Target Field. The highest total at home this season is 300, compared with an attendance average of 604 per game on the road, including nearly 600 at Missouri and a crowd of 1,572 at no Now 13 Georgia last weekend.
"I'd like to see a lot of people there," said junior forward Meghann Haven. "I'd like to see a lot of support. Our program is finally starting to pick up and we need more people to get involved."

The team enters tomorrow's 4:30 p.m. game against Drury College with a 3-4 record after knocking off Southwest Missouri State 3-1 on Tuesday. Haven said a good showing by the student body would help the team capture two more victories.
"It'd be a really big boost," Haven said. "It would get us motivated to hear all the cheering."
Francis agreed.
"It's always nice to play in front of a big crowd, especially a home
crowd," Francis said. "[Seeing the stands full] would give us a lot of confidence."
The Jayhawks play Creighton at 2:30 p.m. Sunday.
At tomorrow's game, the KU promotions department will give away mini soccer balls and will halftime contests for fans to participate in. On Sunday, local club soccer teams will be playing at halftime.

Texas Tech struggles with Williams out, criticism of coach
By Michael Rigg
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
All is not well for the Texas Tech football team.
In the first game of the season, Heisman Trophy candidate Ricky Williams went down because of a knee sprain. On Saturday, the Red Raiders lost to North Texas 24-21. This week, reports have surfaced that coach Spike Dykes' job could be in jeopardy.
While the local media speculate about the future of his job, Dykes is merely trying to fix a season that has gone terribly wrong.
"All I care about is what happens the rest of the season," Dykes said.
Although the Red Raiders were predicted to finish in the nation's top 20 this season, Texas Tech was slowed down from the starting gate, as it lost to Arizona State 31-13. The loss was followed by a 38-17 win against Louisiana-Lafayette, but the latest round of trouble for Texas Tech
came on Saturday,
when the North
Texas Mean Green
defeated the Red
Raiders for the third
consecutive year.
The loss simply left
Dykes to wonder
what went wrong.
"That is a hard, bitter pill to swallow when you lose a game like that." Dykes said. "That's certainly one of those situations where we got outplayed by a team that we had better players than. And I
F
shouldn't say that; that's no discredit to them. They did the things they had to do to win."
On paper, however, the Red Raiders shouldn't have lost to North Texas. After all, the Mean Green was coming off of a 52-0 loss against Louisiana State and was a 30-point underdog against Texas Tech.
The loss to North Texas troubles Red Raiders running back Shaud Williams, who is filling in for Ricky Williams until his knee heals.
Dykes said his team's lethargic performance was a huge letdown for the Red Raider fans, who were celebrating the
"I'm pretty upset about the game." Shaud Williams said. "I don't feel we executed like we should have. I mean, we should have won this game. That's the bottom line — no excuses."
Red Raiders' home opener.
"Like I told my guys, my job is to get them ready to play, and obviously we weren't from the very first." Dykes said. "I don't think we looked like we were into this football game from the first play on. And I hate that for the great crowd."
The Red Raiders will have a full two weeks to prepare for their next game, when they take on Texas A&M Oct. 2 in Lubbock, Texas. For Dykes, the two weeks will give his team a chance to solve some of its mistakes and put the loss to North Texas in the past.
"The best thing about an open week is you can get back to fundamentals, and that's what we wanted to focus on." Dykes said.
ter back. Last week, the team learned that Ricky Williams' knee will require surgery, but he is listed as probable for the game against the Aggies, the Texas Tech sports information office said.
The additional week will also give the Red Raiders a chance to get their full ros-
Despite the surgery, Ricky Williams said he would play against Texas A&M.
Along with Ricky Williams' injury, reports have surfaced in Lubbock since the loss to the Mean Green that Dykes will be fired at season's end. After the loss, Red Raider fans flooded the local media stations with calls saying the coach should be fired immediately.
Texas Tech President Donald Haragan said that he would reevaluate Dykes' job status but that review will not come until after the season, according to a report by the Lubbock Avalanche Journal.
Badger coach faces surgery
Edited by Chris Hutchison
The Associated Press
MADISON, Wis. — Barry Alvarez is the kind of coach who needs to move.
A former linebacker at Nebraska, he paces the Wisconsin sideline during Badgers games. He yells; he prods; he gets in players' faces. It's obvious he would rather be on the field, taking care of business himself.
But Alvarez won't be doing much of anything after he undergoes right knee replacement surgery on Oct. 5. He will be confined to his bed for at least four days after the procedure, and he is uncertain when he will be able to return to the sideline.
"It's very hard not to go out there and work with the people that you love," he said, his eyes filling with tears as he spoke Tuesday.
Alvarez has arthritis in the knee, which has very little cartilage left after football and a lifetime of jogging. There is a torn medial collateral ligament, a few bone spurs and at least one cyst, all of which built up over the years.
The problem has caused him severe pain ever since he reinjured the joint while attending an exhibition game in Madison between the Green Bay Packers and the Denver Broncos on Aug. 23. The pain has made sleep nearly impossible the past couple of weeks, he said.
Alvarez, 52, spoke while seated in a wheelchair. He said the surgery will take place at the Mayo
Clinic in Rochester, Minn. The procedure will come three days after the Badgers visit Ohio State and four days before a game at Minnesota, which the coach almost certainly won't attend.
Alvarez, who used crutches and was taken to and from the field on a golf cart in 2:1 Wisconsin's first three games, said he likely will coach Saturday's game against No.4 Michigan and the Ohio State game from the press box. His veteran staff will handle on-field duties.
"I've never been sick a day in my life. I'd never had surgery, I never had a stitch until I came here," said Alvarez, the coach at Wisconsin since 1990.
Doctors have told Alvarez to stay off his right knee and keep it immobilized to reduce swelling.
Alvarez had surgery last spring, but the doctor told him the knee was beyond repair — due, in part, to injuries dating to his days as a linebacker at Nebraska.
On Sept. 4, he said he heard something pop while walking down a ramp at Camp Randall Stadium before the Badgers' game against Murray State. He coached the first half of the game on crutches, left the field at halftime in a golf cart and retreated to the press box for the second half.
Alvarez said he went to the Mayo Clinic this week because the knee was getting worse. In addition, internal bleeding was filling the joint with fluids.
"I got scared," he said. "I didn't have any choice."

Teams prepare for Columbia rematch
Columbia, Mo. — Prone in the end zone, the prize cradled in his arms, freshman Matt Davison became an instant celebrity two years ago.
The Nebraska wide receiver, still living off his astonishing game-saving, national titles-saving catch against Missouri, returns to the scene
N
Tukees
for the first time Saturday night. The memories have been flooding back all week with the No. 6 Cornhuskers and unranked Tigers preparing for the rematch in Columbia, Mo.
"It's not that I want to forget about it," Davison said. "It was a great point in my career, but I have two years left, practically, so hopefully I can do some other things."
No matter what happens, Davison will have a hard time to tapping what occurred Nov. 8, 1997. It was what Missouri coach Larry Smith angrily
referred to as "one stinking play."
With seven seconds to go, Nebraska trailing 38-31 and the ball at the Missouri 12, quarterback Scott Frost threw to wide receiver Shevin Wiggins in the middle of the end zone. Missouri defensive back Harold Piersey got there first, deflecting it into the air. But on his way to the turf, Wiggins kept the球 alive with his foot, and Davison's active diving catch forced overtime and saved the season for the nation's No. 1 team.
Davison caught 32 passes last year as a sophomore. After three games this season, he is the leading receiver with seven catches for 106 yards. Stjill, it's the catch, the catch, the catch.
"I've tried to make other plays and be a big part of the offense, and be a guy who's consistent catching the ball — a guy that can be looked to in clutch situations," Davison said. "But it doesn't seem like anything I do will let me get away from being known as a one-catch guy."
Missouri senior center Rob Riti said: "What I thought I saw was the
ball hitting the ground, and I thought,
'Oh, hooray, we won the game. Then
the official signaled touchdown. It
was a very sad moment. I felt cheated."
For Nebraska coach Frank Solich,
then the offensive coordinator under Tom Osborne, there was only elation. Solich pointed out that the touchdown came after Nebraska.
M
with no timeouts and 1:02 to go, drove 67 yards behind the passing of Frost to get in position.
"The touchdown? No question in my mind it was executed well," Solich said with a grin. "This was all done with a hurry-up, two-minute style of offense."
At 9.0, the Cornhuskers temporarily dropped to No.3.
"I know that we did learn that to win the national championship, we have to have things go your way," Solich said.

Home run rivals don't clear fence
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Even with the wind whipping out at Wrigley Field on a perfect day for home runs, Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire couldn't clear the fence yesterday.
McGwire went 0-for-3 with two walks. Sosa, who still leads the homer derby 61-59, also walked twice in an 0-for-2 day as the Chicago Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-3.
The two home run rivals will go head-to-head three mores times in the final season series at Busch Stadium.
McGwire finished the threegame series 1-for-10 and Sosa was 1-for-9. McGwire hit his 59th homer Monday, had three walks and six strikeouts.
Sosa, who hit into two double plays yesterday, walked three times and managed only one single in the series. He did come close to a homer in the seventh inning.
He sent a long drive to right center, but center fielder J.D. Drew jumped into the ivy to catch the ball as Cardinals right fielder Thomas Howard collided with him. Drew then threw quickly to the infield and Craig Paquette's relay to the plate

Mark Grace hit a go-ahead two-run triple in the fifth, an inning that began with Trachsel's single after Cardinals catcher Marcus Jensen dropped his foul popup for an error. Two outs later, Sosa walked and Grace hit a liner to right that eluded Howard and went to the wall, putting the Cubs ahead 4-2
Howard hit his sixth homer in the sixth, making it a one-run game, but Chicago's Jeff Blauser hit a solo homer in the seventh to restore the two-run lead.
Jensen's first homer of the season gave the Cards a 1-0 lead in the second.
The Cubs scored twice against Stephenson in the bottom of the inning on an RBI single by Roosevelt Brown and sacrifice fly by Jose Nieves. Fernando Tatis' sacrifice fly tied it in the third.
Sosa's impact never has been more evident. The Cubs, despite their pitiful play, set a Wrigley Field season attendance record yesterday.
DETROIT — The father of Barry Sanders hopes to speak with his son this weekend about rejoining the Detroit Lions in time for their fourth game.
Sanders' dad wants son to return to Lions
The Associated Press
"He's in for a father-and-son talk," William Sanders said yesterday from his home in Wichita. "I'm going to advise him to go back to Detroit. No situation is so bad you can't go back."
The 31-year-old running back was 1,458 yards short of breaking Walter Payton's NFL rushing record when
he retired July 28. Since then, the Lions have demanded that he repay $5.6 million of the $11 million signing bonus he received when he signed a six-year, $36 million contract in 1997.
Sanders' agents, David Ware and Lamont Smith, say their client must be traded or granted free agency before any money is returned. The club says it will not give up its rights to Sanders.
Sanders will have to decide on his own whether to end his retirement, his father said.
"He's a man," the elder Sanders said. "If he was 15, I would tell him."
Sanders' father also said he understood the Lions' refusal to send his son to another team.
"If I were the Lions, I wouldn't trade Barry Sanders, either," he said.
the Barry Sanders, either," he said. The dispute has gone to arbitration. But William Sanders told the Detroit Free Press that NFL Players Association lawyer Arthur McAfee said his son could not win the game.
William Sanders told *The Detroit News* that he would advise his son to return the money and go about his business if he chooses to stay retired.
Ware said Tuesday he was familiar with news reports of William
Sanders' plans to try to talk with his son about rejoining the Lions. But Ware said Sanders still had not said anything about returning to football.
William Sanders said he would advise his son that he return to the Lions on the condition that he be traded after breaking Payton's record.
Detroit, playing without Sanders for the first time since 1989, is 2-0 and off to its best start since 1993. The Lions play Sunday at Kansas City, then have a bye week. Their fourth game is Oct. 10 against San Diego at the Silverdome.
Salt Lake bid leader may testify against IOC
The Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — The man who won the 2002 Winter Olympics for Salt Lake City might be willing to testify against IOC officials in exchange for immunity from federal prosecution.
A source close to Tom Welch, speaking on condition of anonymity, said yesterday that the former Salt Lake bid leader would insist on immunity for his own protection but that he would not admit to any criminal wrongdoing.
Welch and his lawyer, Tom Schaffer, have not proposed an immunity deal to the Justice Department, nor have they been contacted by federal prosecutors or the
FBI during the 10-month investigation.
Justice Department spokeswoman Carole Florman would not comment on the likelihood of any immunity deal with Welch or for Dave Johnson, the former No. 2 bid official.
Schaffer was traveling and could not be reached for comment.
Welch is prepared to give Richard Wiedis, the Justice Department lawyer leading the Olympic investigation, information he gave an ethics panel for the Salt Lake Organizing Committee, the source said.
That panel detailed $1.2 million in gifts and favors that Welch and others lavished on voting members of the International Olympic

Salt Lake businessman David Simmons acknowledged setting up a phony job in New York for Kim, using money funneled from the bid committee. Simmons pleaded guilty in August to tax fraud for deducting Kim's salary from his taxes as a business expense.
Simmons said he hired Kim as a favor to Welch, who was president of the bid committee and later the Salt Lake Organizing Committee until he was forced to resign in 1997 amid spouse-abuse charges.
NHL players move step closer to the 2002 Olympics

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The NHL and the players association made progress Tuesday toward an agreement that would allow players from the league to compete in the 2002 Olympics at Salt Lake City.

The agreement is expected to include a provision for a World Cup tournament in 2004, an
NHL officials and the union met with International Ice Hockey Federation president Rene Fasel. Some issues remain unresolved, but an announcement by the IIHF is expected before the end of the year, said a source close to the discussions who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The length of the NHL break during the Olympics was among the issues under discussion. The league took 17 days off last year, when the NHL's participation helped the popularity of the sport in some countries but stirred less interest than anticipated in North America.
Better TV ratings in North America are expected in 2002 because games can be shown live rather than on tape as the games from Nagano, Japan, in 1998.
However, Bill Daly, the NHL's senior vice president of legal affairs, said in an interview Tuesday night at the Florida-Tampa Bay exhibition game that there were ongoing discussions with NBC about the situation.
"TV is very important," Daly said. "It's important for the exposure of the game and for the NHL players. And for us to take a hiatus in the middle of the season, [TV] is very important."
There was no immediate comment from the
Fasel also met with reporters.
"By the end of the year, we hope to finalize some different points," he said. "It's very important [for the NHL to be in the Olympics]. It helps promote the game. It's not financial. It's about promoting the game."

Beijing closed to prepare for festivities
Oct.1 celebrations will mark 50 years of communist rule
BEIJING — Authorities closed streets and shops, commandered restaurants and roped off sidewalks yesterday, effectively shutting down China's capital for rehearsals of upcoming celebrations to mark 50 years of communist rule.
The martial law-style controls are just one reminder that however China has changed, Big Brother still calls the shots.
The heart of the city — areas near the old imperial palace, the Forbidden City and around Tiananmen Square — was closed to all vehicles and pedestrian traffic from before 8 a.m. yesterday.
By midmorning, police had cordoned off the city's main east-west thoroughfare, the Avenue of Eternal Peace, to allow parade floats, tanks and trucks loaded with missiles and other armaments to
Many government and business workers were given the day off or told to go home early. With the streets closed, many buses were not running.
pass through.
"How are we going to home?" asked one bemused cyclist. "It's a 20 kilometer (12 mile) ride around the roadblocks."
Sidewalks were roped off about 30 yards back, preventing residents from getting more than a distant preview of the parade that will travel down the wide boulevard to Tianamen Square on Oct. 1.
"No use talking to us, we're just enforcing the law," replied a policeman joking around with his colleagues during a break.
Several times in the past few weeks, Beijing's streets have been cordoned off for partial rehearsals that ran from twilight into the wee hours of the morning, reducing the inconvenience to city residents.
But this all-day interruption caused many shops and offices in the city center to shut down. The Beijing Friendship Store, which sits along the parade route, was virtually deserted by midmorning.

One popular pizza shop, though, was used as a rest stop for the thousands of armed police who stood guard along the cordon.
Local businesses must swallow the losses. No price seems to be too high for the communist authorities as they mark a half-century in power. Officials have declined to say how much the entire holiday will cost the government.
The restrictions were loosened briefly after the tanks rumbled through and were to be fully lifted
after rehearsals ended late last night.
City officials are determined to have clear skies on Oct. 1. During the 1984 National Day celebrations, spectators were unable to see military jets streaking above Tiananmen Square due to thick smog. To keep that from happening again, Capital Iron and Steel and 24 other heavily polluting factories were ordered to cut production.
"We're trying to help people in Beijing enjoy clear blue skies," said vice mayor Wang Guangtao in an article in the China Daily newspaper. "For many years, serious air pollution seemed to pack the city into a stifling gray box. Many people felt uncomfortable and sick."
Cleared by a brisk autumn breeze, the skies were a brighter blue than usual on Wednesday.
The controls, announced Tuesday in local newspapers, caused some grumbling, but there is no room for public protest. "All members of the public and work units please understand, support and respectfully comply," said a police notice posted in the entirely controlled media.
Taiwan quake survivors criticize rescue attempts
The Associated Press
TUNGSHIH. Taiwan—In hushed voices, people talked about victims crying through the night, beneath the hulk of fallen concrete and brick that was once a 14-story apartment building.
Tuesday's quake, which was followed yesterday by three strong aftershocks, killed 2,003 people, injured 4,400 and left 100,000 homeless, the Disaster Management Center said.
By yesterday, the second day of Taiwan's earthquake disaster, the moans and pleas for help were fading away, one by one. Neighbors were full of grief and anger, saying more should have been done to dig out their friends and families.
About 500 emergency workers from 14 countries arrived to help out, but yesterday's search efforts resulted in only nine rescues of the estimated 2,600 people still trapped in crushed buildings.
"There was a voice yesterday. It was my son's girlfriend, who was with him, crying out for her
His arms crossed tightly on his chest, Chou Jing-jum frantically told anyone who would listen that his son had been left to die under the debris.
father," Chou said again and again. He was too consumed with agony to say what his son's name was.
"Nobody came to dig them out," Chou finally said.
Chou had tried to dig his son out and had gotten so far into the wreckage that he found some business cards from his son's room. But emergency workers stopped him from going in deeper, fearful he would be buried by aftershocks.
Whispering, so as not to upset neighbors standing nearby who have missing family members, several others described how an unidentified, trapped woman continued to cry into the early morning hours yesterday but had stopped by daylight.
A large crowd spent much of the day staring at the top of buildings that had fallen and completely blocked off the street, once a lively strip of noodle stands, convenience stores and other small shops.
Nearby, scores of rescue volunteers and soldiers chatted idly, waiting for the tools and expertise they said they would need to uncover those buried under tons of unstable slabs of building material.
Between 20 and 30 people were trapped in the
building, officials and neighbors said.
Chou's complaints were echoed by other residents, who said although hundreds of volunteer firefighters and other rescue workers from distant counties had arrived, local leaders had failed to provide the direction, leadership or authority needed to direct the rescuers in high-risk search operations.
"What angeres me is that no one seems to be in charge," said one man, Hsieh Mao-ming. "There's no boss. They keep sending different people."
Sitting at a cafeteria table set up at a makeshift sidewalk command post several blocks away, a Talchung County civil defense official, Suo Jiaju, said he sympathized with those who were angered by the slow pace of the rescue efforts.
But Suo said the magnitude-7.6 earthquake, Taiwan's deadliest in nearly 65 years, had been so massive that adequate preparation just wasn't possible.
"The earthquake was huge," Suo said as workers around him stacked up towers of donated boxes of food and soybean milk.
"There's no way we could ever have prepared for anything like this. And now, we just can't go rushing into buildings willy-nilly. A meeting is going on right now to plan the next steps."

Israeli, German leaders meet at site of concentration camp
The Associated Press
BERLIN, Germany—To a cantor's mournful chant of the dreaded names of death camps, Israel's prime minister joined Germany's chancellor yesterday at the ruins of a Nazi crematorium, the emotional peak of a charged visit to a resurgent Berlin.
The ceremony, like the rest of Ehud Barak's trip, was carefully crafted to recognize the sensitivities of the Jewish state. Although Barak was not the first Israeli leader to visit the Sachsenhausen concentration camp near Berlin, he was the first since Germany reclaimed the one-time seat of Nazil power as its capital
He also was the first state visitor invited since the changeover — a way for Germany to show it recognizes a special responsibility to those who might be offended.
The day was strong on symbolism, beginning with Barak's entourage. It included three aging, frail survivors of Sachsenhausen who now live in Israel, and a group of vibrant Israeli teenagers, mount to represent the strength of the country.
"I'm proud to be here," said 19-year-old Yuval Ronen, a soldier. He was accompanied by his grandfather, Yerachmiel Bahir, a 77-year-old Sachsenhausen survivor.
"It's important to be here for my grand father, of course, who suffered so much here," said Ronen, dressed in uniform. "But also to represent our country. We are here, and we are strong."
Yet he'also echoed a new generation of Israelis when he said he had sampled the sights of Berlin and had no trouble being in Germany.
"My grandmother refuses to come, but I have no problem with it," he said.
Still, emotions run deep among older Israelis, some of whom had deep objections to Barak's visit.
"A thousand years will pass and the disgrace of Germany will not pass," Dov Shilansky, a Holocaust survivor and former Israeli parliament speaker, said by telephone from Israel. "And yet, we, the Jews, have to be those who jump at the chance to attend every German celebration?"
The sensitivities were apparent in the
planning of Barak's 24-hour journey. A contemplated tour of the recently reopened Reichstag, once again the seat of the German parliament, was scuttled. Most Israeli officials said that was because of scheduling constraints, but others indicated the reason was more emotional.
The Reichstag has strong associations with the Nazi era, even though Hitler never governed from the building and the Nazis are believed to have set it on fire in 1933.
At Sachsenhausen, chosen for the visit due to its proximity to Berlin, the leaders passed through an iron gate with the Nazi slogan "Arbeit Macht Frei," a cynical pledge to the 200,000 inmates interned there from 1936-45 that work would free them.
Standing side by side near the ruins of a crematorium built in 1943, both men issued pleas for tolerance.
"We owe it to the dead, but also to ourselves and our children, that we win the fight against hate and contempt for humanity and lay a secure basis for a peaceful future." Schroeder said.
Verdict not in yet on 2nd annual 'Day Without Cars' in France
PARIS—Paris was quieter, and the air at least seemed cleaner yesterday as tens of thousands of drivers heeded an appeal to keep their cars in the garage to reduce air pollution.
The Associated Press
All too often these days, the Eiffel Tower is shrouded in smog, emergency rooms are crowded with people suffering from bronchial distress and visitors go away with memories of clogged streets and hazy skies.
Though it is unclear whether the one-day effort—first held last year—will cut smog significantly, environmentalists hope the "Day Without Cars" in Paris and 65 other French cities will force drivers to think about pollution and their role in creating it.
The effort to keep cars at home was voluntary and motorists were not fined for ignoring the appeal, though police-guarded blockades were set up at some points to discourage traffic.
Only buses, taxis, emergency vehicles and motorcycles were supposed to circulate in several central Paris neighborhoods.
About 3 million cars enter the French capital daily, and the resulting smog that engulfs the city causes health problems such as asthma and chronic coughing, particularly among children and the elderly.
The mayor's office estimated that the traffic in car-free zones yesterday afternoon was 59 percent less than on regular days. In all of Paris, traffic was reduced by 31 percent, the mayor's office said.
"Traffic never moves this quickly," said Patrick Khimonier, 43, a taxi driver observing the transformation.
But in neighborhoods not blocked off, some streets were as congested as usual.
"Look at that, just look," said bus driver Patrick Mottaes, 44, pointing to a row of vehicles at a standstill on a bridge in western Paris. "The French are just too attached to their cars."
About 90 cities in Italy embraced the no-car effort as well. Rome and several other cities offered free bus rides for the day to commuters who abandoned their cars. They were enticed with claims that traffic would be speedy. But waits for many routes in Rome were the same as on any other day.

Med Center settles case of denied treatment
(USPS 650-640)
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The University of Kansas Hospital has reached a settlement with the government for $148,000 on charges it refused to treat patients.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services had accused the hospital of refusing to treat three patients and inappropriately transferring another patient in 1997, according to the settlement.
The agency said the hospital violated a 1986 law, which states that hospitals participating in Medicare cannot deny emergency treatment because patients are unable to pay and cannot delay treatment to verify insurance coverage.
The hospital settled the accusations in June without admitting wrongdoing.
"These cases happened several years ago, before there was clarity regarding the standards," said Mary K. Ball, hospital representative Wednesday. "We've resolved the issues."
The hospital also agreed to run newspaper ads stating its emergency room was available to examine everyone who came there.
The alleged violations took place when the hospital was operated by the state. The hospital became a quasi-public entity in 1998. It is now governed by the University of Kansas Hospital Authority Board, which agreed to the settlement.
The hospital is part of the University of Kansas Medical Center campus.
In 1988, there were settlements of 53 cases involving alleged patient dumping, said Alwyn Cassil, a representative for the inspector general's office at the Department of Health and Human Services.
That was in increase from 13 cases in 1997, she said. Forty-nine such settlements were reached through June 30 of this year.
Casil said such cases were a high priority, and the government was devoting additional resources to resolving them.

Movin' on up Modest growth numbers in Regents schools means good news, despite lower ACT scores at KU
By Clay McCutssion and Nathan Willis

Kansan staff writers
Enrollment at the University of Kansas bumped up 1 percent this semester — an increase of 251 students — but incoming freshmen's American College Test scores remained stagnant.
The mild growth in enrollment, revealed by the Board of Regents' release of 20th day enrollment figures yesterday for the six state universities, the University of Kansas, Kansas State University, Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University, Pittsburg State and Wichita State University, was what KU administrators had hope.
"That's exactly what we want," said Tom Hutton, university relations director. "We're not looking for any wild shifts."

"I think the bottom line is it's not statistically significant," said Diana Carlin, interim assistant provost of academic services. "We continue to be above the national average."
According to ACT Inc., the average score in 1999 was 21, unchanged from 1998.
Alan Cerveny, director of admissions, said that the average score didn't show some of the University's achievements.
"We have no control over that," he said. "The University is still operating with open admissions in-state."
Elsewhere in the Regents system, the biggest growth was at Kansas State, where enrollment jumped by 3.1 percent — 612 students. Kansas State had the largest increase
Thirty percent of the freshman class scored a 27 or better, he said, an improvement from previous years. That shows that the University has been successful in recruiting high-achieving scholars, he said.
in number of new students at all of
the Regents schools.
"The last several years we've had healthy increases," said Pat Bosco, dean of student life and institutional enrollment manager at K-State. "It was expected."
Bosco said K-State President Jon Wefald had set increased enrollment as a goal for his university.
"We have a strategic enrollment management plan," Bosco said. "It allows for
planned, systematic growth."
Carlin said K-State and the University of Kansas couldn't be compared because the colleges each had their own plans for growth.
She said the University of Kansas' moderate growth prevented resources such as the enrollment center from being stressed. It also keeps the number of students in classes from being too high. In fact, Carlin said, the enrollment center reported a mild year.
"Interestingly, they said this was a much
easier semester for them than in the past," she said.
Lindy Eakin, associate provost for support services, said the moderate growth also would have little financial impact on programs affected by 20th day numbers, such as the $1-per-credit-hour student technology fee.
"Regarding the tech fee, there will now be an opportunity for a little more money

Hiring freeze selective layoffs not in the plan
A hiring freeze by the University of Kansas will be selective and will not affect three ongoing dean searches. Lindy Eakin, associate provost, said yesterday.
On Wednesday, Gov. Bill Graves announced an across-the-board budget cut of 1 percent for all state agencies and institutions. For the University, that means a budget cut of about $2 million.
Eakin said that meant the University would have to make budget reductions in personnel. However, this will occur through a hiring freeze instead of layoffs, he said.
"Eighty percent of our money is in personnel," Eakin said. "We're going to have to realize some of the cuts from personnel savings."
He said the task of deciding whether individual positions would be filled or left vacant would be left up to those close to the situation, such as deans, department heads and vice chancellors.
He said what the administration would do was tell departments by how much they must cut their budgets. Other options departments will use to cut their budgets include reduction of services or purchases, he said.
Provost David Shulenburger and Chancellor Robert Hemenway were out of town and unavailable for comment.

When Officer Robert Neff went to break up one fight, he was punched in the face a 25-year-old Lawrence man. Another man interfered with the arrest of the subject.
Jennifer Slote, Lawrence graduate student, missed two weeks of class last spring. She was giving birth to her son, Kiean, now a year old.
Harris and Slote are just two of the students at the University of Kansas who also are parents. Both spoke yesterday on a panel discussion titled "Making It Work: Balancing Roles as a Student Parent." Three students showed up for the event.
At 1:59 a.m., the crowd was dispersed.
In addition to going to class, writing papers and working, they also worry about finding baby sitters and paying doctors'. bills.
Slote credits time management and help from her partner with her success in balancing her busy life.

Nigerian writer to speak about his experiences
A former Amnesty International prisoner of conscience will speak at 1 p.m. today in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
Nigerian writer Ngugi wa Thiong'o, who was detained by the Nigerian government in 1977 for publishing a play critical of the government, is the keynote speaker for the Mid-America Alliance for African Studies conference this weekend.
The play is called "Ngaahika Ndeenda," which means, "I will marry if I want."
Thiong'o was released in December 1978 after being named a prisoner of conscience by Amnesty International.
Thiong'o is currently a professor of comparative literature and performance studies at New York University. His works have been translated into more than 30 languages and have won numerous literary awards.
Many of his novels and plays are critical of the social injustice and political corruption he witnessed in post-independence Kenya.

Albright asks for U.S. ban on nuclear weapons tests
Speaking at the Association of the City Bar of New York, Albright said the ban helped curb the spread of nuclear weapons by putting explosive tests out of bounds.
"Americans and people around the world do not want to live in a world in which nuclear testing is business as usual," Albright said. "They do not want to make it easy or acceptable for nuclear weapons to spread further."
NEW YORK—On the eve of the third anniversary of President Clinton's signing of a treaty to ban all nuclear weapons tests, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright appealed yesterday to the Senate to join the 45 nations that have approved the pact.
Clinton approved the treaty after some debate within the administration about whether there should be an exemption for limited testing to keep the U.S. nuclear arsenal up to date.
The Associated Press
K-State leads Regents schools with biggest student increase
next year," Eakin said. "The real good news is that initial fee collections are up slightly."
Continued from page 1A
That means the amount of money collected through tuition increased, he said. Provost David Shulenburger said that as a rule of thumb, a 1 percent increase in enrollment gave the University about an additional $800,000.
Overall enrollment for the Regents system increased by 1,065 students. In total, 81,426 students attend the six state universities, this includes an extra 3,757 students who attend KU or K-State branch locations such as KU Medical Center or the K-State School of Technology.
"In looking back over the last few years, it continues a trend we saw starting about three years ago," said Barb Conant, communications director for the board. "A lot of it has to do with the number of high school students graduating."
The board's office said that university enrollments dropped from 1990 to 1996.
Conant said the upward trend was unusual
because college enrollment numbers tended to go down when the economy was strong.
"It says a lot about our university system that even though our economy is good, we're still having an increase in enrollment," she said.
Conant said the 20th day was a convenient time for universities to measure their enrollments.
"By then, I think enrollment has stabilized," she said. "It would be hard to do it on the first day and get an accurate reading."
- Conant said universities were eager to look at the figures.
"It gives them a general feel of the enrollment trends across the state," she said. "Everybody's anxious for them."
"The deans and department heads are so close to the situation that there's no real way to get a perspective from the outside," he said. "It's useful to get overall perspective."
ON THE RECORD
Shulenburger said the numbers provided the University with a new perspective of itself.

Cabinet member to sit on trade panel
Commerce secretary to field KU queries
By Michael Terry
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
United States Secretary of Commerce William M. Daley will make a special stop at the University of Kansas today to participate in a panel discussion for the National Trade Education Tour 1 p.m. at the Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Clyde Stoltenberg, co-director of the KU center for international business education and research and one of the forum's organizers, said the panel would discuss the importance of international trade to local economies.
The three central themes of the tour are how exports benefit local communities, the development of a national consensus on trade, and maintaining the United States' strength and competitiveness at the local and state levels through private-public relationships.
In addition to Daley, Lt. Gov Gary Sherrer and national and local business leaders will be fielding questions about international trade.
"This forum gives Daley and the panel the chance to hear from the public on how they feel international trade effects them," Stoltenberg said.
Charles Ranson, president of Kansas Inc., a Topeka-based economic research institution, is the moderator of the forum. He said
the public would be given a chance to ask the panel questions.
"I think the panel is a diverse group that will give anyone wanting to ask a specific question to an individual a person to direct it to," he said. "Questions can be directed to anyone on the panel, and they will respond to the question, and then another panel member can expand on it if they choose."
The tour, which has hit seven cities so far, started May 3 in Boston. Its unofficial motto has become "Trade Globally, Prosper Locally."
Stoltenberg said that when the tour schedule was first released, Daley only was planning to speak at conferences in Kansas City and Wichita that were closed to the public.
"In the summer we received a request from the U.S. Commerce Department for the tour to possibly make a special stop here and hold a panel discussion open to the public," he said. "We were happy to accommodate Daley's tour and think this forum will give a chance for the Lawrence community to discuss their concerns with international trade and its benefits."
Stoltenberg said people just didn't realize the magnitude of the role of international trade in local economies, including Lawrence. For example, he said, Jayhawk Bowling Supply, 530 Colorado St., exported equipment to China.
The event is free and open to the public.

Near-minister wows senators with pulpit-like passion
By Chris Borniger writer @kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A little bit of the Baptist minister in Brad Carter came out last week, and although he was preaching, he wasn't at the pulpit.
At the first full Senate meeting Sept. 15, Carter, a first-year graduate senator, passionately spoke in favor of a resolution condemning the Kansas State Board of Education and its decision to restrict the teaching of evolution. His own family's disenchancement with the Southern Baptist Convention's increasing political conservatism played a role, he said.
"I have seen the machinations of reactionary religion take over and destroy institutions," Carter said. "They were advancing a narrow sectarian agenda by stealth, and I got worked up by this direct attack on religious and academic freedom."
The speech received a standing ovation — a rare occasion in Senate meetings, especially for a first-year senator at his first meeting, Partha Mazumdar said. Mazumdar, graduate senator, lobbied Carter last
year to run for Senate.
"In three years, I've only seen it once before," he said. "That was the greatest speech I've ever seen in Student Senate. People were turning around and asking me, 'Who is he? Where did you find him?'"
Indeed, religion has played a significant role in Carter's life. The Episcopalian son of a Baptist minister, he received his bachelor's degree in religion from William Jewell College, a Baptist college in Liberty, Mo. He then received his master's degree in theology studies from Seabury Western Theological Seminary in Evanston, Ill., an Episcopalian institution.
That isn't all of his religious exposure. He spent nine years as dean of admissions and two as dean of students at a United Methodist school of theology in Kansas City, Mo. He also has worked for St. Louis University, which is a Catholic school, and on the religious affairs board of Planned Parenthood.
"I kind of an insider in the God and religion business, but I'm still pretty secular," he said. "My values
Carter, 35, also worked as a chaplain at St. Luke's Hospital in Kansas City. Mo. in 1987. In the last stages before becoming an Episcopalian priest, he had a change of heart.
"The experience of being a chaplain helped me figure out that I didn't want to be ordained," he said. "It just wasn't for me."
Carter wears many hats aside from his exposure to several religious denominations. A Ph.D candidate in American studies, he is a graduate teaching assistant in that department and the humanities and western civilization department.
Camille Payne, Kearney, Neb., junior and a student in one of Carter's classes, said his use of religion while teaching was limited but helpful.
"He keeps it pretty neutral," she said. "I think it's interesting because then you can look at your own religion and see different ways to analyze things."
Despite his spiritual background, Carter said the classroom, not the pulpit, was his proper place.

Society can't ignore 'small-time' shootings
We are in danger of becoming desensitized to violence
The vicious massacre at Wedgwood Baptist Church in Texas exposes a threat this country is facing. The threat is apathy in the news media and
in our own lives. We cannot give in to apathy even in the face of confounding violence. If we do, the problem will get worse.
worse. The weariness that Americans feel towards senseless acts of violence is almost the mood of every news broadcast. In Littleton, the news media fed us human misery morning, noon and night. The shooting at the North Valley Jewish Community Center drew serious attention.
Now, in the aftermath of the Wedgwood shooting, there seems to be a cynicism in the national news that dismisses these tragedies if they can't measure up to the summer blockbuster of violent sprees. Or
of humanity.
But now is not the time for resignation. We cannot grow weary in the face of these disasters and simply accept them as random acts of violence that affect other people in other places. Larry Gene Ashbrook in Texas was not extraordinary; he could have been a thousand different people anywhere in this country. In cases like Littleton, North Valley and now Wedgwood, the killers were paranoid and alienated.
perhaps it is simple resignation on the part of the journalists who, no doubt, must tire of constantly reporting the dark side of humanity.
areneated.
When we see the aftermath on television, we wonder why senseless violence happens. Children are being murdered around the country and perhaps we would prefer to not hear about it night after night. That apathetic resignation
dooms us to see these events as distant, therefore not something we can solve in our own daily lives. But we can, by simply not isolating the people around us and by not creating a class of outcasts who exist in pain, loathing society.
society.
When Texas Gov. George W. Bush hit the Wedgwood scene, he said there was no law he could pass that would make everyone love one another. Our nation is pretty far gone if we need a law to enforce common human decency and respect for life. If we do, it means greater trouble than these shootings describe. We simply need not blind ourselves to the nature of the problem and the plight of those around us.

Competition makes drives lose blood
Competition is not a word generally associated with a blood drive. But because of poor scheduling, competition has resulted between the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation and the University Red Cross blood drives.
The KUAC blood drive, which wraps up today, is exactly two weeks before the general University blood drive. Anyone who has donated blood can tell you that one has to wait about eight weeks before donating blood again. Thus, what results is two worthy organizations having to split the possible donors.

The blood drive this week is held by KUAC and run by Kansas Blood Services, which provides blood to area hospitals. Chris Beurman, manager of donor recruitment for Kansas Blood Services, said the organization worked
Blood drive timing makes giving twice impossible
with the Athletics Department to find a suitable date in the fall for a blood drive. The specific week, he said, depended on when Allen Fieldhouse was available.
While we acknowledge that scheduling major events like blood drives can be difficult, better communication between the two groups might avoid such close timing of the two drives. If a blood drive had been scheduled in early September and the other in November, students potentially could donate twice as much blood.
Both blood drives are for great causes, and we encourage students to take advantage of the opportunities to donate blood. At the same time, everyone would have better results if students weren't forced to choose between two equally important opportunities.
The University Red Cross blood drive, which is sponsored by the All Scholarship Hall Council, Association of University Residence Halls, Panhellenic Association and Interfraternity Council, had similar restrictions with scheduling. The blood drive must be scheduled far in advance in order to reserve space in the Kansas Union, said Bob Arpke, chairman of the All Scholarship Hall Council blood drive.

Preventing college drop-outs
Early this week, I received a copy of the U.S. News & World Report college ratings issue in a manila envelope. Attached was a yellow Post-it note that said, "Thought this might be good column material. —Dad."
So in an effort to keep more columns my father would like to read in the Kansan, I offer the following.
Krissner, Pamela I paged through the magazine, searching for the University of Kansas' rank and found us in a tie at number 38 in a listing of the top 50 public universities in the nation.
What did U.S. News look at to formulate its rankings? Did our drop off the party school list hurt us? Did a few missed turnaround jump shots in the NCAA tourney last year hurt our national reputation?
The good news was that we were ahead of Missouri; the bad news is that we were behind the Colorado School of Mines. That gave my heart a jump because I misread it at first and saw Colorado School of Mines.
Looking at the vital stats that the magazine provided to help justify their decisions, I think I figured it out. The retention rate at the University of Kansas is a seriously low 77 percent. Compared with the other second-tier schools, only the University of Kentucky was lower.
For years, the retention rate has been a cause for concern for KU administrators. There are retention task forces and committees and offices whose mission is to work to improve it. But more needs to be done. Some options are:
needs to be taken. Some of the

Many universities require new students to take a class that specifically helps students adjust to their new school. This class would force students to learn academic requirements, give them a faculty mentor immediately upon arrival at the University, and create an instant support network for students.

Scholars. The justification for these scholarships is the prestige the scholars add to the University. Obviously, U.S. News doesn't think so. A higher retention rate would be a far better use of our scholarship dollars.
More emphasis on student organization involvement — Research has shown that students who are involved in campus organizations are more successful in the classroom. By getting involved on campus, students not only learn how to better interact with other

students and learn important communication skills, they also learn time-management skills that no class can teach.
A better emphasis on involvement can be accomplished in a couple of ways. First, the University can help support student organizations by increasing their office spaces in the Kansas Union. The upcoming renovation is a start, but more can be done. Second, give more support to organizations such as Student Union Activities and others that provide alcohol-free programming to students. It seems that too often, the administration is trying to hold programming organizations back rather than assist in the good work they do.
goob work they don't Easier classes? According to U.S. News, some schools have classes in which students can learn about soap operas, jugging and Star Trek. Unfortunately, I don't think adding more blow-off classes to the timetable would improve our academic ranking. But if students could take an occasional hacky-sack class or something practical like tattoo artistry, it couldn't hurt enrollment, could it?
Sure, there are easy answers to our retention problems, but most involve a troublesome, University-wide move to a warm beach, and more pina colada mix than we can afford. For some students, no solution will keep them at the University, but it should do whatever it can to keep them here. It sure beats the alternative — Mime School.

Happiness should be path of students' ambitions
Many students at the University of Kansas have high aspirations to some day have all the money and power they've been taught is the key to happiness. Social mobility is integral to our democracy.
But the sticky business of moving up in the world often is dispirited with a sacrifice of personal happiness made for the name of a school or the title of a job position.
In my political science class, we recently read a book that changed my life. It's so nice to read books like that. Who's Running America by Thomas Dye details the theory that a relatively small group of about 7,000
big shots — the elite — essentially own and operate our democracy. More intriguing was the book's description of how the elites come to such power.
Here's one popular formula for getting to the top of the top: Be born into money, attend a prestigious prep school, get a degree from an Ivy League college, go to law school at an Ivy League college and tap some connections to secure a job at

sections to secure a job at a high-powered Washington law firm
a high-powered. Much of my class was startled to realize they were already more than a couple steps behind in the race for major status in this country. In fact, Professor Allan Cigler admitted that the book of which I speak once caused one of his students to transfer to a different school. The young man probably thought he'd have a better chance at glory if a Harvard Ph.D. hung on his wall
According to the book, in our country 54 percent of corporate leaders and 42 percent of governmental leaders are graduates of only twelve "name" schools — Harvard, Yale, Chicago, Stanford, Columbia, MIT, Cornell, Northwestern, Princeton, Johns Hopkins, Pennsylvania, and Dartmouth. With figures like these, it's easy to understand the student's concern.
But is the concern well-founded? That depends on what sort of life one hopes to live. With my social background in mind, I most likely never will be a chairwoman of the Republican Party or a trustee of the Rockefeller Foundation. My latest revelation is this; maybe I don't care.
As far back as I can remember, I wanted to go to Yale. I thought it was really my dream. But after choosing the University of Kansas instead because of financial and personal issues, my happiness here makes me realize it was not a dream that pushed me toward the Northeast, but rather an illusion; a misconception that the name of the school would give me what I wanted out of life. Not many people really know what they want out of life — just what they're expected to want.
My mind returns to high school, where a costly cycle often begins: work hard, so you can attend a good college where you can work hard, so you can attend a good graduate school where you can work hard, so you can get a good job where you can work hard so you can make money.
The American dream forgets to remind us of what we might lose along the way. Is it a sin to hope to have time to raise a family, write the great American novel, or plant a garden? I want to be successful as much as the next person, but only recently began to ponder what that success would actually mean in terms of my own happiness.
Maybe success can be making a decent living at a job you like and having time to enjoy a decent life. This appears more desirable than to wake up one morning old and unhappy after, as Cigler suggested, working sixteen hours a day for fifteen years to make partner status in a prestigious law firm. He himself turned down a job offer at a well-thought-of northeastern school partially because he "didn't like the feel of the place." What's wrong with that? Surely it's possible to change the world without leaving yourself behind.
Maybe grad school will take me to Columbia, but I have no qualms about my current place of enrollment. And yeah, my name probably won't make the list of elites in Who's Running America 15 or 20 editions down the road. The trade-off wouldn't be worth it to me anyway.
In the United States power and money are the cultural craving, and higher learning is usually the first step in that direction. It's just that most ambitious minds pursuing college degrees do not weigh the costs of the unhappy places their ambition could possibly take them until, well, they are there. The key, it seems, is to make sure those ambitions stem from all the right reasons

While the boxing world is in need of some serious reforms, it remains "the manly art" or the "sweet science" that attracted Lord Byron, Ernest Hemingway, Theodore Rosevelt and countless other people.

First of Hawk Nights debuts tonight; organizers hoping for alcohol-free fun
By Emily Hughey
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
When University of Kansas alcohol surveys uncovered that underage and binge drinking were on the rise, the administration vowed to offer entertainment alternatives.
Tonight they will deliver on that promise.
Through a combined effort by the administration, the athletic department, KU LEAD, Student Union Activities, Student Alumni Association, Association of University Residence Halls and the All Scholarship Hall Council, students, friends and family are invited to the campus-wide party called Hawk Night at 8 p.m. at Memorial Stadium.
The festivities will include a dance with music videos playing on the MegaVision, a giant game of Twister, a bungee bull (a barrel suspended sideways by four bungee cords), a moon walk, free Coca-Cola
and cotton candy. At 10 p.m. the movie, There's Something About Mary, will be shown on the MegaVision.
Barbara Ballard, assistant vice chancellor of student affairs and Hawk Night coordinator, said the event was designed to show that campus could be a center of entertainment for students.
"KU Hawk Night is a campus-wide party that involves many student organizations on campus, and we plan it for students on campus," she said. "We want to show that you can have a party and have a good time and campus can be a center for it."
The event has been classified by some students as just another alcohol-free University event. However, Cameron Popp, SUA president and member of the Hawk Night planning committee, said that having a dry party was not the mission of the night.
"I think the real purpose is to offer an occasional alternative," he said. "We're not offering this as an alco-

holf-evening. It's being promoted as a party."
However, Popp said he recognized that some students would not attend the event because they would have other plans for tonight.
"It's a Friday evening, so naturally it's going to compete with what students normally do on a Friday night," he said. "But it will give people who may not always want to go out to bars something to do in lieu of drinking."
Zack Lerner, Overland Park sophomore, said he appreciated the idea of Hawk Night, but didn't think
he would go.
"I usually wouldn't go to something like that but I think it's a good idea," he said. "It's just not for me. It's for people who don't drink and for anybody who wants to exercise their freedom of choice not to drink but still go to a party."
Neverthless, Ruthie Hagan, director of special events for KU LEAD and Hawk Night planning committee member, said she thought all students would enjoy the event.
"I think it's a good way for students to meet other students in a non-alcoholic, fun setting," she said.
Hagan said she expected more than 1,000 people to attend Hawk Night and that buses would be running to and from Memorial Stadium between 8 p.m. and midnight.
"This is something we've never done before, and I'm really looking forward to it," Popp said. "It's a good program, a good cause and a good effort."

Euphoria Morning strikes solid chord
By Bryan Anderson Kansan music critic
Does anyone remember what music was like? Before boy bands Latin-pop, and rap/metal hybrids?
The time was the early '90s. The music was grunge. And the place was Seattle — the mecca of grunge.
The place where, as Beavis said, the streets were paved with CDs.
Not much is left from that time. Pearl Jam is still around but making records that seem to matter less and less. Remnants of Nirvana, such as the Foo Fighters and to a lesser extent Hole, are around but lack the force of the original. And Soundgarden just plain broke up.
Cornell has broken completely with his Soundgarden grunge/metal past and recorded a diverse rock album.
Chris Cornell, the former lead singer of Soundgarden, had one of the best rock voices of the '90s and now has released his debut solo record. Euphoria Morning.
This record was an ambitious
undertaking for several reasons.
First, Cornell has to worry about competing with the Soundgarden sound. Stray too far and one alienates the fans; stick too close to the sound and one is accused of being unoriginal. Second, Cornell has recorded an album of songs that stretches the spectrum of rock, from slow ballads to up-tempo retro-rock. And he succeeds — for the most part.
The first single, "Can't Change Me," would be a perfect fit in rotation on a local modern rock station. It is the first song on the record, and it serves as a primer for the rest of the album, suggesting that what one is about to hear is not another Soundgarden endeavor.
Other highlights include the midtempo "Moonchild," a song with an easy-going melodic verse and a dense, minor chorus. "Disappearing One" is a solid blue-tinged ballad. And on "Steel Rain," Cornell displays his impressive vocals, ranging from soft to loud, and low to high.
CD facts
Grade: B-
Artist: Chris Cornell
Album: Euphoria Morning
Some of the weaker spots include the electronically influenced "Flutter Girl," which does not seem to fit. And on on "Wave Goodbye," Cornell tries for a retro/funk-rock sound. Right now the only person who can get away with that sound is Lenny Kravitz. The rest of the album is decent, with no tracks standing out as exceptional.
Cornell has successfully broken away from the Soundgarden legacy on his solo debut.
Euphoria Morning is a solid record, but is a little disappointing for one of the most talented vocalists in rock music today. With the pressure of the debut album out of the way, hopefully Cornell's sophomore effort will meet his potential.

The Ludington-Thatcher home was on the verge of falling apart until a team of designers stepped in to save history.
They just don't build them like this anymore.
Stepping through the front door of the newly renovated Ludington Thacher home, 1613 Tennessee St., is like stepping into a bygone era.
The mansion, built in 1861 by Rueben Ludington, was on the verge of becoming nothing more than an historic memory, when Terry and Elaine Riordan bought it in 1995.
Engineers told the Riordans that if the house wasn't fixed within three or four years, it would have been unsalvageable. The house was livable but needed foundation and structural work.
Four years later, the three-story brick Victorian Italianate mansion has been restored to its original splendor and
Someone suggested that a designers' showcase would be a good way to renovate the inside of the home, so the Riordans contacted Cottonwood Inc. with the idea. Cottonwood, a community developmental disabilities organization for Douglas
will be on display to the public as a Designers' Showhouse until Oct.17.
In 1996, the Riordans received a $60,000 grant from the Kansas State Historical Society's Heritage Trust Fund. Terry Riordan said the money went toward engineering fees and restabilizing the foundation.
and Jefferson counties, will receive proceeds from the showhouse tours.
Julee Travis, communications coordinator for Cottonwood, said show organizers hoped to raise $100,000 to help people with disabilities shape their futures by funding ventures such as work programs.
Terry Riordan, a local pediatrician, said the that idea of a designers' showcase appealed to his family for several reasons.
"It would allow us to share the house with the city," Riordan said. "We thought that it would help the house and, more importantly, it would help Cottonwood."
Kesha Larson, director of community relations at Cottonwood, said that before the renovation, the interior of the house was in a state of disrepair.
"Everything was really dark and it felt unhappy." Larson said.
Travis said that Cottonwood sent out 550 invitations for bids to area designers. Designers placed bids on individual rooms as well as the front yard, swimming pool and back porch.
Starting in July, more than 20 designers, painters and artisans donated their time and labor. Larson said designers lightened up the house and made it come alive again.
Deb King, of Creative Design in Lawrence, designed the third floor loft as a cozy sanctuary, with textured and glazed walls and an early 1900s fainting couch. She said that the chance to work in such a beautiful house drew her into the project.
"I've always driven by it and wondered what it looked like inside," King said. "It was quite an honor to be able to do it."
Travis said that the showhouse allowed designers more freedom than they would normally have had and was reflected in the diversity of styles.
"Each room is done by a different designer with different talents and a different vision." Travis said.
The result is an eclectic mix that features styles ranging from Old World to British West Indies.
Right. Ironically, the funeral room is a sunny place to rest.
Markie Bieri, of Imagine That Designs in Lawrence, designed the grand entrance and the formal dining room. She said that she wanted the dining room to reflect the architectural style of the house. Ruby red walls lead up to a glazed gold ceiling. A folding screen depicting a European street scene adds international flair to the room.
"The house is very grand, and I wanted the dining room to be in keeping with the grand style," Bieri said.
those who have been involved with the project from the outset said they were amazed at the degree to which the arandeur had been restored.
Jill Baker, administrator of services for Cottonwood, said that it had taken a tremendous effort on everyone's part.
"It's just gorgeous," Baker said. "If you would have seen it before, you wouldn't believe how beautiful it is."

Jayhawks plan to rebound against Aztecs after loss to Colorado
Bv Mike Miller
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
It's too early in the season to think of tomorrow's game against San Diego State as a must-win game — at least that's what Kansas coach Terry Allen says.
A win would make things easier on Kansas' bowles. A win would make Kansas 2-2 with Big 12 Conference play continuing in two weeks. The Jayhawks need seven wins to qualify for a bowl bid, something that they could do by winning tomorrow, next week against Southern Methodist and going 4-3 in their remaining conference games.
"It's a humongous game for us," said cornerback Muhammad Abdul-Rahim.
"We need a win against San Diego State."
The fallout from the 51-17 loss at Colorado left the Jayhawks with a bad taste in their mouths, meaning that this week's practices were more intense, longer and, according to Allen, better.
"The player's are coming out and doing an excellent job of practicing." he said.
"It's been coming from the players. Thank God," Allen said.
Usually it's the coaches that push the players to give the extra effort during practice, but this week has been different.
Part of the reason for the extra effort has been the realization that the Aztecs are a good team. Part of that comes from their 7-5 record last season, including an appearance in the Las Vegas
bowl. And part of the reason would come from a good showing last weekend at 16th-ranked Southern California, a game the Aztecs lost 24-21.
Strong defensively, they will present a formidable challenge to the Jayhawks, who continue to struggle offensively.
"The struggles we had offensively makes it a challenge for us," Allen said.
"But they're not any better than any defense we see in this league."
If the Aztecs' defense is as good as Colorado's, then the Jayhawks might be in trouble. Allen said
Kansas' offense was anemic after the Colorado game. And with three injured starters nursing injuries — running back David Winbush, left tackle John Oddonetto and right tackle Justin Hartwig — it could be a long day tomorrow.
Senior quarterback Zac Wegner still will be the starter, but junior Dylen Smith will see playing time early in the game again. With an offense that failed to gain more than 200 yards, Allen isn't about to settle on just one quarterback.
"But you can't give up on the things that you're doing."
"The bottom kind of fell out last week," he said.
That means Kansas still will try to balance the run and the pass — but with Winbush nursing a sprained ankle — the Jayhawks may try to open the offense and pass more.
Either way, Kansas will have to find an offense that works because San Diego State is strong against the rush and also can rush the passer effectively.
"The strength of San Diego's team is their defense," Allen said. "They're, good against the rush, but they have 14 sacks in three games — which means

you've got to get big plays offsively."
Kansas will need more big plays from its defense to win. The defense and the special teams have scored three times this season and the Jayhawks kick returners have given the Jayhawks good field position and big plays every game. Kickoff returner Carl NeSmith is ranked second in the NCAA and first in the Big 12. Mitch Bowles is in second in the Big 12 and punt returner Henry Childs is ranked fourth in the NCAA and first in the Big 12.
But maybe the most important thing about tomorrow is rebounding from the devastating loss at Colorado — something Allen said has been done.
"We just have to put the Colorado game to bed," he said. "That's something student athletes are pretty good at."

'Hawks eager to duel Drury hopes to extend streak of wins

Kansan sportswriter
When the Kansas women's soccer team takes the field against Drury College today in the KU Credit Union Jayhawk Invitation, it will be looking to build its first significant winning streak of the season.
Kansas plays at 4:30 p.m. in the second game of the tournament. Centenary and Creighton will open the tournament at 2 p.m.
Kansas, 3-4, defeated Southwest Missouri State on Tuesday and put an end to its two-game losing streak, in which both losses were against Top 20 teams. The Javahawks are happy to be winning again.
ting better every day. The Jayhawks will play a Drury team that knows how to finish its shots. The Panthers, 33, come into the tournament riding a two-game winning streak in which they notched two shutouts and scored 13 goals, including three-goal performances by freshman forward Carrie Wright and senior midfielder Jeni Porter.
"It feels awesome," said junior Megham Haven. "We worked on finishing the day before our game, and it really helped. We need to just keep taking shots like we did and keep moving the ball around. I think we're getting better every day, so I think we'll do well."
Carried Carrie Wright and Ann Kansas is prepared to slow the Panther attack, Kansas coach Mark Francis said. He said he was pleased with his team's defensive effort against Southwest Missouri State, in which it limited the Bears to five shots. Senior goalkeeper Betsy Pollard also is becoming more comfortable in goal, and her defense hopes to help her acquire her second shutout of the season.
playing good, but it's not playing good, but it is playing good. In addition to improved defensive play, the Jayhawks know their offense will have to get the job done. After being shutout in its previous two games, Kansas broke through with three goals on Tuesday, and Francis expects the scoring to continue. He pointed to sophomores Melanie Schroeder and Natalie Hoogveld, junior Hilla Rantala and senior Melissa Downing to help the offense. Downing has made a return to the starting lineup recently and leads the team in scoring.
"I really want to win, but I really want a shutout," said senior defender Cynthia Dahle. "Our defense has been playing good, but it'd be nice to not let in any goals."

The Kansas volleyball team will try to avoid falling into a 0-2 conference hole tomorrow when it travels to Columbia, Mo., to take on the Missouri Tigers 2 p.m. at the Hearnes Center.
This may not be a must-win match for the Jayhawks, 9-3 overall and 0-1 in Big 12 Conference play, but the first conference win would still be important.
"You get 20 opportunities in conference play, and you have to take advantage of any chance you get," said Kansas coach Ray Bechard. "Missouri is a young team and very talented."
Missouri is led by Naearan Branson, who has 125 kills and 99 dg. Annette Luyten and Krista Johnson pace the team with 18 blocks apiece, while setter Heather Gerber leads the team with 424 assists.
Kansas trails the all-time series against Missouri, 29-30. Last season, the Jayhawks defeated the Tigers in Lawrence, 16-14, 15-11 and 15-8, but the Tigers got revenge in Columbia, 11-15, 15-11, 15-5 and 15-11.
games, also lost its conference opener at home Wednesday night to the No. 8 Texas Longhorns. Kansas battled Texas to clinch a 16-14 first-game victory, then trailed off by losing the last three games, 15-9, 15-3 and 15-8.
VOLLEYBALL
The Aggies swept the Tigers in three games, 15-0, 15-8 and 15-6.
This season, the Tigers are 5-6 overall and 0-1 in the conference after a loss Wednesday night at No. 16 Texas A&M.
"I think we played an outstanding match," said Kansas senior middle blocker Amanda Reves, who led the team with 17 kills against Texas. "We stayed aggressive and I think it gave us the confidence to believe.
Other volleyball notes
It gave us the confidence to believe."
■ Kansas junior outside hitter Danielle Geronymo sprained her ankle late in the match Wednesday against Texas.
Bechard said that
Geronymy, who is fourth on the team with 97 kills, probably will be available for the match against Missouri.
■ Kansas' next road test will come at 7 p.m. Wednesday, when it travels to Lincoln, Neb., to play the No. 4 Nebraska Cornhuskers. Nebraska was upset on Wednesday night at home against the No. 24 Kansas State Wildcats, who entered the match 0-59 all-time against the Cornhuskers. The loss dropped Nebraska to 8-3 and 0-1 in conference, and improved Kansas State to 7-2 and 1-0.

But then I began thinking about football and what innovations have helped the sport since the 1940s, about the time Wonder plunked down its first loaf of convenience.
I am not really sure what he was specifically referring to, but it got me thinking — not so much about sliced bread because in my estimation the personal computer, the push-up bra and George Foreman's grill have all gone further to making our society great. I got a knife and some free time, what's the big deal<sup>19</sup>
5. ESPN's himmie still is out on ESPN's magic line, which allows the television audience to see how far the offense needs to go to gain a first-down. The line is somehow transposed onto the screen but appears to actually be on the field. It accomplishes its goal without taking away the suspense of the chain gang coming out to measure for the first down.
4. The face mask
4. The face mask was introduced in the early 1960s. It's hard to imagine today's brand of football being played without face protection.

3. Instant replay
Technology of all kinds has changed the face of football forever. Officials in the NFL now review close calls with the help of instant replay, and the accurate call is made 99 percent of the time.
College football has no review system, but video boards at many college stadiums put added pressure on officials to be in proper position to make better
2. Monday Night Football position to make better calls.
At first, ABC executives thought the idea was terrible and would inevitably flop. It was an immediate success and now the Monday night game is consistently the top-ranked time slot on television. This first attempt at bringing football to prime time had an immeasurable impact on the popularity of the sport.
1. Tecmo Bowl and Super Tecmo Bowl for Nintendo
Still the greatest sports video games ever made. Bring your Madden 99, your Blitz 2000, even your 128-bit Dreamcast; Temo Bowl is still more fun than any video ever made.
Remember playing Tecmo Bowl for so many hours that you wore it out? You'd put the game in and hit the power button and the light would just blink, or the screen would be all blurry. Getting the game to work became as much fun as actually playing it.
Then Super Tecmo Bowl was introduced, with all the perks of the original and 17-week season playing potential, complete with playoffs. Once the season started, nobody could take the game out or shut off the Nintendo, or the season would be ruined. Then, occasionally the cartridge would just pop up for no apparent reason and you would have to cram that Top Gun cartridge above it to hold it down. No one cared if Top Gun got ruined because you couldn't land the stupid jet anyway.
first you blew into the game twice, then into the Nintendo once, then you carefully slid the game into the Nintendo until it almost cleared the front edge, then pushed straight down until the cartridge popped past the front edge and slammed into the system. Worked like a charm.
Once, my roommate cleaned the inside of his Tecmo Bowl game with rubbing alcohol and put it in the freezer for an hour. Yes, it worked perfectly. I'm sure you had your own little tricks.
But what has Tecmo Bowl done for the game of football?
It was the first home video game that gave professional players their actual identity. Not only could we win with Walter Payton's Bears because he was unstoppable, but we knew every player on every team. On Sunday's, we would watch every team because we could, in a small way, relate to them.
In a final note.
I love band day. I want trombones. I want trumpets. And I sure want some tubas.

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 6.
You may find yourself in an uncharacteristically pensive mood. Don't despair. You've studied some problems during the past week, not the least of which could be the possibility of taking on a partner. Hey, relax. It won't be all that scary.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
Focus on paperwork today. You don't want to make an agreement that you'll regret later. Read everything carefully before you sign it. Although it may look good on the surface, you might need to know about something in the fine print.
Gemini: Today is a 7.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
You might feel a little feisty today. Just remember to stay in good taste at all times. That will take a bit of concentration because your natural tendency is to get a little risque. Wait for the right time and place.
Conditions for travel are pretty good now, especially if you're going to visit an older relative. Do a little work when you get there, and you'll make an even better impression.
Leo: Today is a 6.
You may be a burr in an older person's side today. That's OK. It's time you knew what's been going on. Keep asking questions, tough ones, at that. See if you can find out where the money's been going while you're at it. Especially your money.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
It's definitely a good day to buy household items, but it's also a good day to travel. How will you manage to do both? With careful planning, of course. That way, you won't have to spend much time headed in the wrong direction.
Libra: Today is a 7.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
It's almost the weekend, but not quite. A massive pile of stuff still needs your full attention. It may need some of your creativity, too. It's a challenge, but don't worry. It all turns out well.
Saqittarius: Today is a 5.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
Your sweetheart needs a little more of your attention. Make sure that happens, even if it means you have to schedule some work during the weekend. Right now it looks like the prevailing mood is a strong tendency to cuddle. Find a place where you won't be disturbed.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.

A
Are you worn out, tired, maybe a little sniffly? If so, just take it nice and easy as much as possible today. Things are changing for the better, but you still may have to recuperate from the past few weeks. Rest up tonight, and you can have plenty of fun tomorrow.
You have all sorts of dreams, like becoming fab
uously wealthy and providing well for your loved
ones. You might make those dreams come true.
You know how? Through persistence — by finding
out what's required and by doing it. You
make it look like fun. Enjoy.

Right there is where you'd like to be. Right here is where you are. This situation could be stressful.
"Oh, goody!" you're probably saying to yourself. That's because you know you get more creative when the heat's on. Keep a pad and pencil nearby.

Williams' thoughts of the day, coaching strategies lead to award

Women's rugby gaining popularity
Physical challenge draws in players
By Jason Walker
sports@kanson.com
Kansas sportswriter
Any women out there who aren't afraid of a little physical contact might want to check out the Jayhawk women's rugby team.
Rugby, a hard-hitting sport usually thought of as a men's game, has developed a following at the University of Kansas. About 30 women play on the collegiate team.
Heidi Spann, Fayetteville, Ark., senior, said the team was known for its competitiveness.
is competitive. "We're the team to beat in a lot of tournaments," she said. "We have potential because we have a lot of veteran players and dedicated rookies with a lot of motivation to play."
pky. Mae Duling, Columbus sophomore, is one of those rookies. Duling said that she was motivated by the athletic challenge of the game.
"You have to take a beating and keep on going," she said. "It's pretty rough. I'm used to lifting
weights and running, so rugby was the next physical challenge I wanted."
The team's season began last weekend in Manhattan, when the team played Kansas State and Nebraska-Omaha. They were narrowly defeated by K-State 19-15, but then beat Nebraska-Omaha 30-0.
Spann said that some interesting road trips were on the slate for the team this year, including a trip to New Orleans for a tournament during Mardi Gras.
"It's one of the best tournaments we play in," she said. "We will play some good opponents. We go play hard and then we go party hard."
Spann also said the team hoped to go to the "Debutante Ball" tournament in Houston this year.
"Everyone dresses up in formal wear and plays rugby," she said. "I definitely wouldn't want to wear a new dress."
Kristen Brandt, Andover senior,
said that she started playing rugby
last spring because she wanted a
good way to stay active.
"I started going to practice and got really into it," she said. "Now I want to learn as much about it as I possibly can. It's definitely one of
the best things I have ever done at KU."
Brandt also said that she would encourage anyone who had an ambition to play sports to come out for the rugby team.
"It's an absolutely wonderful group of girls," she said. "And a good way to gain a new side to your social life. It's worth coming out and taking a look at."
The camaraderie among the teammates was something else that attracted Duling to the Jayhawk team.
"The girls are really friendly and down-to-earth," she said. "It's like it's a family."
The team had a scrimmage on the lawn of Strong Hall Sept. 15 and 16, to give students a firsthand look into the world of women's rugby. Spann said that she didn't think many people knew that women played rugby.
"Our goal is that people will gain rugby awareness," she said. "There's not as much publicity for women as there is for men. People think that because it's a contact sport women don't play it."
Spann said her favorite part of the rugby matches was when a physical play took place.

"There's that one play of the game when there's one downright aard-core tackle," she said. "And someone really gets taken out. That's the best. Especially if that person deserves it."
Spann said that rugby was the only sport she had experienced that had such high levels of physical and mental intensity.
car and memoirs.
"You crave that intensity," she said. "It gets to where you need to play it to release your aggressions. You need that intense of an outlet, and through that outlet you find out rugby is a great game and develop a love for it."

San Diego State Kansas combat similar problems
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
On paper, the similarities stick out between the Kansas Jayhawks and their opponent tomorrow, the San Diego State Aztecs.
Like Kansas, San Diego State has had trouble winning on the road. Like the Javhawks, the
Aztes are in the midst of a quarterback controversy, with a junior college transfer battling an incumbent starter for the top job. Also like their opponents, the Aztes' only victory this season has been against a Division LAA
A. E. Oluwole
Gbqa-Jia-Bamila: All American prospect for Aztecs
onponent. South Florida.
Regardless of these similarities, the two teams never have played an intercollegiate football game against each other. While Kansas plays in the highly regarded Big 12 Conference, San Diego State plays in the new Mountain West Conference, a conference that consists of teams that disbanded from the Western Athletic Conference.
Despite the lack of a history between the two schools, Kansas coach Terry Allen said that he liked what he saw in the Aztecs.
"They're a very good team," Allen said. "They have an exceptional defense and a great defensive line."
The strength of the Aztecs lies in their defense, which was ranked No. 26 in the nation after a 24-21 loss to 16th-ranked Southern California last week. The Aztecs feature two All-American prospects, defensive lineman Kabeer Gbaja-Biama and safety
Rico Curtis. San Diego State coach Ted Tollner said both players were keys to a successful season.
"Kabeer has a quick tenacity to go along with his quickness and athleticism," Tollner said. "Also, Rico has made the commitment to be the best he can be."
Offensively, San Diego State is in much worse shape, ranking 88th in the nation and averaging 307 vards per game.
"We have to get the ball down field more," Tollner said. "It starts with the quarterback."
Tollner switched to junior college transfer Jack Hawley at quarterback against USC after incumbent Brian Russell faltered in the Aztecs' first two games. While Russell completed 19 of 42 passes for 215 yards, Hawley threw four interceptions last week. Despite Hawley's performance against the Trojans, Tollner still has hope for his young quarterback.
"It's development that's the key," Tollner said. "What Jack did is not unexpected in your first start. It's something every quarterback has to go through."
At running back, the Aztecs will switch snaps between Jonas Lewis and Larry Ned, who will carry the majority of the San Diego State offense. Although Tollner said he would like the Aztecs to pass as much as they run, he said this was not possible given the quarterback situation.
"If you want to throw the ball as much as we do, you have to develop the quarterback position, which we have not done." Tollner said.
Another thing the Aztecs have not done is win non-conference games outside of southern California. San Diego State's last non-conference road victory was in 1991 when the Aztecs defeated both UNLV and Oklahoma State.
The Aztecs could break that streak 6 p.m. tomorrow at Memorial Stadium.

Home games to teach team technique
Bv Joel Francis
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas softball team will play at Jayhawk Field this weekend in its only home tournament of the fall season.
The team will play five different teams in six games, but coach Tracy Bunge said the opponents didn't matter.
"Right now, in the fall everybody is in the same boat," she said. "I'm not concerned about who we play; these games are more like scrimages than official games. We'll
concentrate on our techniques and what we're like as a team."
Senior shortstop Christy McPhail said that it doesn't matter who their opponents were this weekend.
Kansas will play three doubleheaders. The Jayhawks will face Butler County Community College at 1 p.m. and Missouri Western at 3 p.m. today.

certain defensive plays, and working out decision making, we're still not solidified."
The team played a triple-header
Sunday in Iowa City, Iowa. Team practices focused on the mistakes from last weekend. She said she did not expect the team to be perfect yet.
She also said she was glad to play in front of a home crowd.
"Some things came up last weekend that we hadn't seen before," Bunge said. "I understand we'll make mistakes, but hopefully, we've learned not to make the same mistake twice."

Tennis team to use first tournament as measuring stick
By Amanda Kaschube
Kansan staff writer
The Kansas women's tennis team will begin its fall season in the land of the Hoosiers today when it competes at the Indiana University Fall Invitational Tournament against seven other teams.
Kansas coach Jenny Garrity said the team would use the event as a measuring stick for what it needed to improve upon.
"I feel good about our level of play going into this weekend's tournament," she said. "Of course, we've got
a lot of nervous energy because it's our first tournament of the year, but I think we've done a good job preparing at practice for the tournament."
Garrity said senior Brooke Chiller and sophomore Cheryl Mallaiah would play the top singles flights, while
Julia Sidorova would team for doubles.
Each school is allowed to play four doubles teams and three singles this weekend.
"We want to play well and win a lot of tournaments this fall," Garrity said. "We can gain confidence going into the spring season."
the decision Sophomore Lisa Mallaiah said she hoped for a win in her singles flight, a repeat of her success last year.
The Jayhawks will play against Ball State, Marquette, Miami of Ohio, Notre Dame, Southern Illinois, Indiana and Western Michigan at the tournament.
Lin Loring, women's tennis coach for the Hoosiers, said the tournament had been a success for many years.
"It's a good preseason tournament because you have very diverse
Garrity said the team spent the summer training for the fall season
"Julia stayed here, Brooke went to Europe and played tournaments, Cheryl and Lisa played in Florida, Christi (Wagenaar, sophomore) went to South Africa, and Tiffany (Chang, freshman) played a full tournament schedule too," she said.
teams." he said.
With all the experience and practice behind them, Garrity said the Jayhawks were prepared for their opponents.
"We had good success last year," she said. "Everyone's ready for this year."

Science groups ban use of material by board
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Three national science groups announced yesterday that they would not give the Kansas Board of Education permission to use copyrighted materials in new testing standards that deemphasize evolution.
The National Research Council, the National Science Teachers Association and the American Association for the Advancement of Science said the board's standards did not embrace the vision and content of documents published by their organizations.
The board borrowed individual passages from copyrighted material for its new standards, which will be used to develop statewide tests for students to be administered first in spring 2001.
The groups' actions may be more symbolic than substantive. The board plans to consider changes in
the standards at its next meeting. Oct. 11-12 in DeSoto. However, the board's attorney has suggested only relatively minor rewriting may be necessary to avoid copyright problems.
The board issued its own statement about the denial of permission to use the groups' copyrighted material. Chairwoman Linda Holloway said she was disappointed and that the groups were misinterpreting the standards.
Gerry Wheeler, executive director of the teachers' group, said the organizations concluded that the board's standards distorted the borrowed passages from the copyrighted materials.
"It has to do with good science vs. bad science," Wheeler said. "It has nothing to do with local control vs. non-local control."
The new standards do not omit all references to evolution, as the groups acknowledged.
Clinton vetoes tax cut, despite GOP opposition
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—After weeks of partisan jockeying about taxes, President Clinton vetoed the $792 billion tax cut pushed by Republicans yesterday and called on Congress to approve tax relief Americans could afford by year's end.
But GOP leaders said later it was highly unlikely a compromise on broad tax cuts could be reached this year.
The president vetoed the bill at a wooden desk on a stage in the White House Rose Garden, before a small audience of Cabinet members, advocates for the elderly and others. It was the 28th veto of his presidency.
Clinton said he rejected the tax bill because it would turn the United States back to the failed policies of the past at a
time when the nation was enjoying economic prosperity. He said he would seek to work with GOP leaders on an alternative tax plan that reflected the priorities of both parties and the values of the American people.
In a letter accompanying the signed veto, Clinton told Congress he refused to sign because it ignored the principles that have led to the sound economy the United States enjoys and emphasized tax reduction for those who need it the least.
But on Capitol Hill, the battle lines were clearly drawn. House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-III., said lawmakers were open to compromise. However, he said they would not work with the president to raise taxes, raid the Social Security trust fund or pile on more debt on the United States.

Kansan runner returns to Minnesota for NCAA cross country invitational
By Rebecca Barlow sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
By Rebecca Barlow
Andy Tate should feel right at home tomorrow at the Roy Griak Invitational in Minneapolis — not only because he has run on the cross country course at the University of Minnesota, but also because Minnesota is his home state.
Tate, who runs for the Kansas cross country team, is from Lake Elmo, Minn., which is about a 20 minutes drive from Minneapolis, where Kansas will compete against 12 NCAA teams in the invitational meet.
Tate said. "My family and friends will see me race, and I will get to see some old high school rivals."
"It's special to go back home,"
Tate said that the meet would be the first big test of the season. He said he was confident that the Jayhawks would perform well.
"Our first two meets were pretty relaxed," he said. "This is our first test. We have an opportunity to turn some heads. So far the season is going how we expected it to."
Kansas coach Gary Schwartz agreed. He also said he thought that the cross country team had improved from the first meet.
"I think the team has progressed decently," Schwartz said. "The real test is this weekend. The level of
competition will be very high. It's a chance to see if the last two meets have paid off."
The cross country team has had the past two weeks off from competition. These two weeks have given the Jayhawks time to prepare for the meet.
"This gave us a couple of weeks to increase the intensity of what we are doing," Schwartz said. "Practice has gone well."
Kansas didn't compete in the Roy Griak Invitational last year. Schwartz said that the meet and the course were excellent, and that some of the runners had run on the course in previous years.

Commerce Secretary emphasizes global trade
By Michael Terry writer@kanson.com Kanson staff writer
"Trade globally, prosper locally."
Trade globally, prosper locally. U.S. Secretary of Commerce William A. Daley kept returning to those words when he talked to about 100 people gathered at the Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union on Friday.
Daley's appearance in Lawrence was in conjunction with his National Trade Education Tour, which began on May 3 for the purpose of educating the public on the importance of international trade to local economies.
Earlier on Friday, Daley met with government officials and toured the Harley-Davidson factory in Kansas City, Mo. After the panel discussion in Lawrence, Daley headed to Wichita to meet with aircraft workers and farmers in the area.
Daley said that right now the United States was the beneficiary of one of the greatest economic booms in the history of our country.
"It's a good time to be living here." Daley said.
He added that although trade usually has been a controversial issue in the United States, during the year the United States has become the No.1 exporter in the world.
"Not more than 12 to 15 years ago, major publications were writing that American men and women could not compete with Japanese, Asians and Europeans," Daley

Midwives offer alternative birthing techniques
Holly Howe spent most of her son Harrison's labor on her hands and knees.
by Heather Woodward Illustration by Ry.
"I was hooked up to a breathing monitor, and Harrison's breathing was more regular when I was in that position," Howe said. "When I was on my back he was on the verge of being stressed."
When the going got tough, Howe also used a squat bar as a brace to push on with her legs.
Promoting and practicing non-traditional birthing positions is one of the ways in which midwifery differs from standard obstetrical care.
Howe, a Lawrence resident, had her 17-month-old son with a midwife from the Women's Healthcare Group, 3510 Clinton Pkwy., which employs four midwives and five doctors. The group's patients give birth at either Overland Park Regional Hospital or Shawnee Mission Medical Center.
Ginger Breedlove, director of the
Differing models of care
Kelly Elliot, founder of nurse midwifery at the clinic, said about 10 percent of between 80 and 100 deliveries each month had Caesarean sections. Those numbers include higher-risk pregnancies in which the midwife collaborates with a doctor.
Nurse Midwives Association at St. Luke's Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., has delivered babies for 19 years. The nurse midwifery unit only accepts women who have low-risk pregnancies. Standard prenatal care — lab tests and ultrasounds, etc. — is done to anticipate possible problems during labor.
And Breedlove is proud of the results: 6 percent of 800 deliveries are Caesarean sections compared with about 20 percent nationally.
"The difference is in the model of care," Breedlove said. "We use less interventions."
A graduate nurse midwife program at the KU School of Nursing, funded by a $1.3 million grant from the U.S. Health and Resources Services Administration, is scheduled to begin in Summer 2000. Once the program is underway, Breedlove will divide her time between working there and at St Luke's.
Relieving pain
At St. Luke's, nurse midwives administer epidurals only if they are necessary. What's their substitute? Breedlove said she and other midwives sometimes employed sterile water injections to ease pain. Elliot said she did not discourage

Lawrence attracts youths with 'nothing else to do'

Purple neon light and rap music poured from the cab of Travis Tunstall's white Ford Ranger XLT Friday night.
Four friends sat in the back of the truck, talking, smoking cigarettes and watching the cars creep by on Massachusetts Street.
Massachusetts "It's more or less a show for me," said Tunstall, an 18-year-old from Lecompton.
Tunstall said that he and his friends spent nearly every Friday and Saturday night hanging out downtown. They show off their cars, blast their music and eye the traffic sauntering down the street and sidewalk.
Teenagers come from Tonganoxie, Eudora, Osawatomie — name your favorite area town, and they come from there to hang out here. Sgt. George Wheeler said that most of the kids hanging out downtown were local, but that a large percentage were from surrounding communities.
In recent years, the 800 block of Massachusetts has become a hot spot for cruising, showing off cars (and car stereos) and hanging out.
"There's nothing else to do," said 17-year-old Duane Smith of Lawrence, as he played with his Rottweiler puppy, Nikita.

"It's fair to say that it's been an ongoing problem," he said.
There are no laws against loitering downtown, but police keep an eye out for people drinking in public, minors in possession of alcohol, excessive noise and juveniles out past curfew. Wheeler said.
The juvenile curfew restricts those younger than 18 years old from being out past 11:30 p.m. on at night and midnight on Saturday.
Wheeler said the police received complaints of people blocking the sidewalks and intimidating others.

"Pretty much everybody is all friends," she said.
Gary Semjenow, Topeka resident, walked with his family Friday night past Tunstall and his friends. He said he thought the situation was cause for some concern.
"Looks like they're having a good time, but I'm surprised that there's so many unsupervised kids." Semjenow said. "There's quite a few young ones, not even in high school it looks like."
Semjenow said that correcting the problem shouldn't be up to the city.
"I think their parents should take care of them better," he said.

Vacancies remain in campus housing
By Lori O'Toole
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
More students are living on campus this year because of Lewis Hall's opening, but department of student housing employees say they are still not pleased with the 4 percent vacancy rate, which repeats last fall's totals.
The department released the numbers late last week in correlation with 20th Day numbers, finding that a total of 4,845 students were living on campus, 274 more than last fall.
The figures reflect totals from residence halls, Stouffer Place, Jayhawker Towers and the scholarship halls. Sorority and fraternity house residences were not included in the totals.
Kelly Jo Karnes, assistant director of greek programs, said about 2,500 students were living in chapter houses this fall, but she was not sure how the figure compared to past years.
Fred McElhenie, assistant director of student housing, said the increased total in the other on-campus living quarters mostly reflected Lewis Hall's opening, but that more students also were sharing rooms in residence halls rather than having a room to themselves.
Even with the increased numbers, he said the department could be happier.
"Of course we're never satisfied unless we have 100 percent occupancy." McElhenie said. "Those days are off in the future somewhere. There are certainly some behind us. That's what we strive for."
McElhenie said he could not recall the specific year that occupancy was at 100 percent, but that it had happened several years ago.
Current totals were also significantly lower due to renovations of Templin and Lewis halls. Before renovations, each hall could house 432. Their capacity is now 270 per hall, losing a total of 324 potential residents.

Student Housing
Although changes were not significant in other on-campus buildings, the department's figures showed a decrease of 14 residents in Stouffer Place and an increase of 21 students in Javawker Towers.
Jessica Smythe, Springfield, Mo., junior, is living in the towers this year for the first time.
"I like having an apartment atmosphere without having to live off-campus," she said. "I like being able to cook, having my own room and still having a roommate. It's more of a home atmosphere that's close to campus."

Lewis Hall rededication includes donor honors
About 100 people attended a reedication ceremony for Lewis Hall Saturday morning.
Ken Stoner, director of the department of student housing, said University staff, faculty and students were among those that attended.
The event included tours of the hall and a bunch at Fkkhel Dining Commons.
a brunch at Ekdani Dining Commons. Department employees distributed information comparing the hall's past and present facts, such as floor plans, construction and capacity.
Stoner said the ceremony also honored individuals whom the department named Lewis Hall's six floors after.
Many of the individuals made a contribution academically or financially to the University. They include Lenora Ricker, Orlando Jolliffe, Elizabeth Muggier, Martha Peterson, Edwin Hopkins and Blanche Bruce.
Stoner said some friends and family members of the individuals attended the ceremony.

Spencer Museum of Art to feature illustrator
"I thought it was just a great day," he said. "Any day that incorporates the present with the past with the future is always a great day."
Carter Goodrich, a chief illustrator for the animated film, The Prince of Egypt, will speak at 6 p.m. today at the auditorium in the Spencer Museum of Art.
Goodrich is one of seven professionals selected by the School of Art and Design's visual communications committee for the Fall 1999 Hallmark Symposium series, which aims to show students the variety of professional design jobs available.
Barry Fitzgerald, associate professor of design, said the lecture series had traditionally concentrated on the graphic design industry, but now selected professionals from all areas of design. He said the committee considered the interests of faculty and students and tried to find a balance among the artists they bring to campus.
"It's like a kid in a candy store," Fitzgerald said. "There are so many great artists out there."
Goodrich regularly creates artwork for national magazines such as Time, Forbes, GQ and The New Yorker. He has also illustrated two children's classics, The Nutcracker and A Christmas Carol.
Goodrich recently moved to Los Angeles to pursue character development for film and television. In addition to working with DreamWorks as chief illustrator for The Prince of Egypt, Goodrich has worked on projects for Fox and Pixar.
This presentation is open to the public.

Dust storm in Oregon causes fatal collisions
PENDLETON, Ore. — A blinding dust storm blowing across a stretch of interstate 84 set off three deadly collisions between semitrailers and cars Saturday that left six dead and inured at least a dozen more.
Dozens of vehicles were involved in the three pileups in the eastbound lanes, said Lt. Gregg Hastings, an Oregon State Police representative.
The Oregon Department of Transportation said two crashes in the westbound lane, each involving semitrailers and passenger vehicles, killed one person each.
At the same location in the eastbound lane, a crash involving five trailers and 11 vehicles claimed four lives.
Visibility was reduced to near zero, police said.
The accidents in the wheat and sagebrush country 175 miles east of Portland happened late Saturday morning.
The highway was closed in both directions, backing up traffic for miles and forcing lengthy detours through Walla Walla, Wash. The westbound lanes were reopened in the evening.
Hot weather impedes efforts to battle fires
BIG SUR, Calif.—Hot weather and dry conditions had firefighters stepping up efforts to battle large wildfires on the central coast and in Northern California.
Firefighters were working in high term temperatures to widen fire lines in anticipation of a cold front, which was expected to bring winds of 30-40 mph yesterday.
Heavy smoke was restricting air operations, and steep, rugged terrain was hampering firefighters' efforts to construct fire lines, officials said.
In the Trinity Alps Wilderness, about 200 miles north of San Francisco, two fires had burned 57,265 acres as at Saturday morning.
The fires, started by lightning strikes, threaten several Native American cultural sites. Firefighters have agreed not to build fire lines through an area considered sacred by the Hupa Nation.
To the south in Big Sur, three fires in the Ventana Wilderness of the Los Padres National Forest had burned 40,197 acres by Saturday morning, fire officials said.
Explosions, fire destroy sections of Mexican city
WORLD
MEXICO CITY—A series of explosions and a fire destroyed a section of downtown Celaya in central Mexico yesterday, killing at least 1.5 people, authorities said.
The explosions, which began about 10:30 a.m., apparently involved both a storage site for fireworks and gas tanks at a restaurant. Officials were not sure which blew up first. A fire that destroyed neighboring buildings was under control by early afternoon.
"It's a very big tragedy," said Mayor Ricardo Suarez in an interview with the national TV Azteca network. He said more than 200 people were injured, and at least 15 bodies had been recovered. Suarez said there could be many more people in the rubble in this industrial city 120 miles northwest of Mexico City.
Local radio stations reported that the army was called in to help seal off the disaster site near the city's main bus terminal.
Taliban bomb opposition for two straight days
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—Taliban jets bombed a northern position stronghold for the second straight day yesterday, killing 11 people, most of them children, and forcing residents into underground bunkers, said an opposition representative.
sombs were dropped yesterday over Taloqan, the capital of northern Takhar province, wounding 28, said Mohammed Abil, an opposition representative, in a satellite telephone interview from the war-battered area.
At least 40 Taliban soldiers also were killed and many wounded in a fierce battle Saturday for Dashte-eArchi, he said. Eight opposition soldiers were killed and 16 others wounded.
Sixteen people were killed Saturday in bombing raids on Taloqan, and scores more were injured. Local hospitals are overwhelmed. Abil said.

Alleged stabber of KU employee to go to trial
By Katie Hollar
writer @tansan.com
Kangan staff writer
Bowen P. Dino, 25, will be tried Dec. 1 for allegedly stabbing a University of Kansas employee the morning of Aug. 21. Assistant District Attorney Dave Zabel said Friday.
A preliminary hearing was held Friday at Division 2 court. Dino, a transient on jail records, faces felon charges of aggravated battery.
Dino allegedly stabbed Aron Guthrie, 21, following a fistfight shortly after midnight at 12th and Ohio streets. Both men were attending parties in the are-
Guthrie was stabbed multiple times with a 4 3/4-inch buck knife, Lawrence police said.
Dino's charges have progressively lessened since Aug. 21. He was arrested on charges of attempted second-degree murder, and prosecutors then held him on a voluntary manslaughter charge.
The judge formally charged Dino with aggravated battery on Aug. 23, Zabel said.
The suspect remains in custody at the Douglas County Jail.
Witnesses and the victim testified Friday in a preliminary hearing at Division 2 court.
When he testified Friday, Guthrie displayed wounds on his chest, arms and neck. Immediately after the fight, he was treated at Lawrence Memorial Hospital and then transferred to the University of Kansas Medical Center, where he was treated for nerve damage to his jaw.
On Friday, Guthrie said he has had no feeling on the left side of this face since the incident.
After hearing from Guthrie and five witnesses, Judge Jack Murphy set the Dec. 1 date for a jury trial.
Guthrie has been employed by the University of Kansas at the Gertrude Sellards-Pearson dining hall since August.
Nona Golledge, assistant director of the department of student housing, said Guthrie had returned to work.
"He's been kind of in and out," she said. "He's been going back to the doctor."

Luncheon addresses fairness
Attorney leads talk about whether policies in classroom are legal
By Nathan Willis
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff write
Students can express themselves however they want to, and there is little a profes-sor can do about it.
But a professor can dock students grades if they choose to remain silent and not participate in discussion.
Those were just two of 16 issues discussed at luncheons on Thursday and Friday, presented by the Center for Teaching Excellence. Rose Marino, an attorney in the Office of the General Counsel, gave a talk titled "Classroom Policies: Are They Arbitrary, Unreasonable, Capricious?" which detailed whether the General Counsel thought certain classroom policies were legal based on law and University policy. About 50 people attended the two-day event.
Much of the discussion centered on whether professors could force students to change clothing that contained offensive messages or pictures.
"We can't disregard, even if we wanted to, the First Amendment right of expression," she said.
Marino said that the answer was generally no.
She said that all words would always be protected, but that the U.S. Supreme Court had been less protective of images — so things like a shirt with the picture of a nude Playboy model fell in a gray area. A professor might be able to force the removal of clothing like that because it could create a sexually hostile environment.
At the same time, however, professors can threaten students who may be shy with a grade reduction if they don't speak in class, she said.
Test your knowledge on what professors can and can't require of students. Can professors legally enforce the following classroom policies?
1. You are expected always to attend class.
If you miss a class, you are responsible for work you miss. Your grade will be lowered three points for each absence beyond the first two. More than six absences for any reason will result in failure of the course.
2. Involvement in an official sports event is not an excused absence.
QUIZ ON CLASSROOM POLICIES AND BEHAVIOR
3. A religious holiday is not an excused absence.
4. Class begins promptly at 11 a.m. at that time, classroom doors will be closed. Students arriving after the door is closed will not be allowed in and will be counted absent.
5. Students must write all out-of-class work using WordPerfect 6.0 and must turn in a disk along with a hard copy.
6. Every group member gets the same grade for a project, regardless of the quality of individual performance.
8. You should shut off and remove headphones during class. You should place beepers on vibrator mode. Cell phones should be turned off. If you use or activate one of these devices, you will be asked to leave and will be counted absent.
7. You should come to class dressed in a presentable fashion. This means no bare feet, jeans with holes, tank tops, short shorts or caps. Failure to dress appropriately will result in a lowering of your course arade.
9. Every student must attend a conference at the professor's office outside of class. Missing the scheduled conference is an absence.
"It's not a recognized disability," Marino said. "But you should try to figure out a reasonable accommodation."
Now consider the following situations. Can the teacher legally take the actions described?
Some professors would meet after class with shy students to talk one-on-one or allow students to submit written responses to class discussion.
the teacher legally takes
10. A student wears a t-shirt with the words
"F--- this" or "White supremacist and proud of it" on front. The instructor tells the student she must wear the shirt inside out or leave the room.
11. A student says aloud in class, "This test was b----s..." The instructor demands an apology and that the student leave class. The student refuses. The professor tells the student to officially drop the class.
12. A teacher needs to find a student in class to assist a disabled student with notetaking. After identifying the disabled student, the teacher appoints the student sitting next to him as notetaker.

classes. Rosalea Postma-Cartar, director of the basic Spanish language program, attended the discussion in part because she supervised several teaching assistants and wanted to make sure their practices were compliant with the University.
Answers
1. Yes, with exceptions for jury duty, medical emergencies or other various situations that the student could not have prevented.
2. Yes.
3. No, but the student must let the professor know about the holiday at the beginning of the semester.
4. Yes.
5. Yes, but the software must be available on computers can use on campus.
6. Yes.
7. No.
8. Yes.
9. Yes, if announced in the syllabus.
10. No.
11. No, but the professor could charge the student with academic misconduct for disruption of the class.
12. No, the professor can neither identify the disabled public publicly nor force another student to take notes 'for him or her'
She said she was relieved that none of Marino's standards were at odds with what she was doing.
"From my point of view, that's the best part," she said.

They are wearing a dark jacket and pants, and their legs are extended outward as they reach the ground. The background consists of a large stadium with empty seats, suggesting that the event is taking place in a temporary facility rather than a dedicated sports arena.
Campuswide party attracts 600 students

Despite the University of Kansas' attempt to throw a campus-wide party, less than 600 students attended the alcoholfree Hawk Night on Friday.
Cameron Popp, Student Union Activities president and Hawk Night planning committee member, said the crowds drifted in and out of Memorial Stadium throughout the evening. He said about 150 people stayed to watch There's Something About Mary on the MegaVision at 10 p.m.
"People will come for a little while and leave and some would come back," Popp said. "It was kind of a transient crowd."
At 8 p.m., the stadium was bare, but visitors gradually trickled in the rest of
the night. Barbara Ballard, assistant dean of student affairs, said the numbers were close to what she expected. She said she thought 8 p.m. was too early for most students to arrive. However, she said the event had to start and end early so that the neighborhood would not complain about noise.
"Right now, we're right on target," Ballard said. "Eight o'clock is early and we have to be considerate of others."
The students who attended said they came for a variety of reasons.
I thought it looked fun," said Alicia Sanchez, Hutchinson sophomore. "I think it's important to let students on campus know there are other activities to do and you don't have to use alcohol." Ben Treweke, Towanda junior, said he came because he wanted to support the alcohol-free event.
said. "We need to have more alcohol-free events. You don't have to have a beer to have a good time."
Some families came, too. Courtney Kimple, Ellinwood freshman, brought her parents, Linda and Richard.
Friday's event was the first Hawk Night of the semester. Five more are scheduled for Oct. 22, Dec. 7, Feb. 18, March 31 and May 8. Future Hawk Nights will be held in the Kansas Union and organized by different student organizations.
"We're just trying to take in some of the activities," Richard Kimple said. "Just soak up a little time."
"I'm having a great time," Treweeke
Friday night's organizers were SUA, KU LEAD, Student Alumni Association, Association of University Residence Halls, All Scholarship Hall Council, Alpha Gamma Delta and Phi Kappa Theta.

Commerce Secretary Daley wants free trade

said. "We took that as a challenge, and we have taken the first step by beginning to pay off our enormous debt, and if we continue this trend in 15 years we would have no debt."
The panel fielded questions on the North American Free Trade Agreement, environmental conservation and the Kansas and U.S. standing in world trade community.
Daley was joined on the panel by businessmen from Lawrence and Topeka and Lt. Gov. Gary Sherrer, who also serves as Kansas secretary of commerce and housing.
MARK MICHAELS
Last year,
more than 500
Kansas businesses contributed to $4.5 billion in export sales
in K a n s a s ,
Sherrer said,
an increase of 42 percent since 1993. But
he said small and medium-sized businesses in Kansas should become more informed about the benefits of international trade.
Daley: Proponent of free, global trade for U.S. products
"Somebody in some other country may be making your product, and you may be walking down the street one day and see it being sold in your town," Sherer said. "There's a market force out there."
He said that it was important for local businesses in Kansas to aggressively pursue preserving existing foreign markets and continue to develop new ones.
"We cannot also at this time keep this hypocrisy about 'We want to sell to the world, but we fear buying from the world,'" Sherrer said. "It's not and cannot be one way that why it's called trade."
Charles Ranson, president of Kansas Inc., a Topeka-based economic institution, who served as moderator for the forum said he thought Daley and Sherrer were effective speakers and made the event was a successful one.
“It's important to remember we can not make fundamental changes overnight,” Ranson said. "It's a long process and this tour is just one step in the direction of informing the public the importance of international trade the local economies of Kansas."

Delay of law banning partial-birth abortion correct, at least for now
Two weeks ago, a U.S. district judge delayed enforcement of Missouri's proposed ban on partial-birth abortion, also known as the "Infant's Protection Act." It now appears that enforcement of the law will not occur until at least March of next year.
Proponents of the law say that it will outlaw only partial-birth abortion. To this end, the law's sponsors included language that would classify the procedure as infanticide.
Infanticide is morally indefensible, as is the unnecessary use of partial-birth abortion. However, the judge in this case acted wisely to delay enforcement of this law until it can be reviewed.
First of all, the crime of infanticide already exists in Missouri. This new law does not create that crime, as
Problems with Missouri law outweigh possible protections
some have tried to say.
Second, it is silly and wasteful of taxpayer dollars to pass a law just to make a point. There are no known cases of partial-birth abortions being performed in Missouri. Therefore, this law likely was written to challenge state-by-state enforcement of Roe vs. Wade.
Third, it disallows the procedure in all cases except to protect the life of the mother. While this sounds reasonable, there is no health exception. This begs the question of when risks to health become risks to life.
Many legal experts say this law is
vague and unconstitutional. In addition, its final paragraph contains vaguely worded assurances that nothing in the law shall be interpreted to exclude the defenses otherwise available to any person under the law. Many experts see this as a veiled invitation for anti-abortion violence against doctors.
This law will contribute to a chilling effect on abortion in the state of Missouri. Many women, not understanding the law fully, may assume that they no longer have a choice in Missouri. However, this will not lead to the overturning of Roe vs. Wade. Only the Supreme Court can do that, and Missourians who oppose abortion should look there instead of contributing to the already-fussing crazy quilt of abortion laws in the United States.

School uniforms not a real answer
School uniforms are not the solution to teen angst. Unfortunately, Kansas Senate Majority Leader Tim Emert believes that they are. Emert has proposed legislation that would make school uniforms mandatory dress for students at all public schools and school-sponsored events. Emert said he believed that students felt peer pressure because of the type of clothing they wore.
Unfortunately, uniforms are not more than a Band-Aid solution. Prescribing mandatory school uniforms to cure peer pressure isn't addressing the core issues. Instead, the reason students feel compelled to dress a certain way in the first place should be examined.
School uniforms are nothing new to
Proposal by state senator sends the wrong message, and it misses the point
our society. They have been worn in private schools for years, and these schools still face the same teen problems as in schools without uniforms. The proposed legislation is not only ineffective, but it also may create further problems. First, the concept of school uniforms sends the wrong message to children. Rather than teaching students not to judge others by what they wear, it tells them that material goods are important.
It says that students will be judged by their inadequate clothing, not by who
they are. This initiative tells students that to be treated equally, rich and poor students need to be dressed the same.
school uniforms also leave students ill-prepared for the real world. Reality is harsh, and students will not always be able to escape it hidden in uniform. Instead, they should learn to face stereotypes and misconceptions now instead of being blindly thrust into them later.
Finally, requiring students to wear school uniforms is a repression of their individuality. One of the public education systems greatest goals should be to promote creativity, not to stifle it under the heavy cloak of mandatory school-uniforms. In a country in which diversity is valued, mandatory school uniforms should not be allowed to preach their message of conformity.

Perspective
From high school to my freshman year in Hashinger Hall to my quasi-swank living quarters in the student ghetto, I have had many friendships. I'm referring to good friends, not mere acquaintances from my hometown or even people I hate. But in my life, friends, like automobiles, have come

even people Flutter. But in automobiles, have come and gone.
I'm sure I'm not alone. We've all lost touch with two or 20 people during our lifetimes. Many are confidences now reduced to bit characters in stories we tell about the old days to our current circles. Where have they gone?
Jenny Oakson columnist opinion at kansan.com
I ran into one last week, I walked into a bar to meet some friends, and there she was, laughing and smiling just like I remembered her. She was surrounded by her
new friends, some of whom I casually knew and others who seemed like soap opera actors who replace long-time stars with no reaction from the cast, yet displeasing and confusing the audience.
Of course, I approached her, and of course, she had the charisma of a presidential candidate. But I knew, when we first made eye contact, we were both racking our brains to remember what exactly it was that caused us to part. Was it because I always told those freaks of nature/bodily fluid stories when we were eating? Was it because of a guy? Or was I just too sophisticated for her? Probably not.
My eyes darted to the ground, positive that whatever had happened was my fault. The truth was that neither us really remembered, and whatever happened was unimportant now.
we greeted each other with the usual formalities: "What's up, Dogg?" and "How you doing, girl?" Then we were perfectly polite. I asked her how she was, and she responded that she was well. She asked, I replied with the same. I half-
That's how it is with my average high school peer. I ask "How are you?" and I get a statement that resembles something like "My dad can beat up your dad!" That's always enjoyable.
expected a brag contest with a run-down of her impressive internships and an overall GPA.
But my former friend, as painful of a label as that is, was so charming that she seemed robotic and distant.
we talked about common things as we remembered our inside jokes. (How is John? Remember the time we got drunk?) The problem with inside jokes is that they are cheap. It takes no effort whatsoever to make reference to silly, strange things that happened years ago. It is transparent and shows the strained effort similar to a scorned lover's desperate attempt to get her ex to remember the good times.
Then she gave me her number, and I wrote it down with a focused facial expression. I haven't called that number and don't think I'll ever have the guts to. When I force myself to think about it, I'm sad — maybe for the lost bond I remember us sharing or maybe for the way her laughter made me feel validated instead of humored. But self-pity only goes as far as Brittany Spears on a chapered date. Not far.
My mom still keeps in contact with the girl who sat next to her in fifth grade, but I haven't seen my uncle, her brother, since the '80s, even though he lives less than 20 miles away. My theory is that different people move at different speeds and that some friends, no matter how close they were, never will be able to catch up to each other.
Some people need to have a lot of friends to feel good about their lives. Some people need to have a minimum number of pals to greet on their ways in and out of parties, be trivial with and bum cigarettes from. As for me, I'll always miss my many former friends and always treasure the time we had at whatever speed I was going.

United States must accept some fault for East Timor
If we really believed in any kind of impartial justice, the international courts would be packed. First on trial would be former President Gerald Ford who, in 1975, made a special trip to Indonesia to sell millions of dollars in weapons to former Indonesian President Suharto and the Indonesian military so that they could carry out their invasion of East Timor.
Lined up behind him would be former presidents Carter, Reagan and Bush and our current president, Bill Clinton—all of whom authorized
continued arms sales that supported one of the world's worst contemporary genocides.
Hard as this may be to swallow, these grim realities become all the more clear when we read what Allan Nairn — an American journalist in East Timor recently deported from East Timor by the Indonesian government — witnessed during his work there:

did this because I watched their soldiers murder more than 271 people at the Santa Cruz cemetery. The murders were committed with American M-16 rifles. The American government also bears some of the responsibility because they have armed, trained and given money to the TNI/ABRI [Indonesian military], even though they knew the TNI/ABRI is led by bururers and is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Timorese, Acehnese, West Papuan and Indonesian civilians.
"As an American citizen who is visiting Indonesia and occupied East Timor, I also want to be clear that I believe in even-handedness. The same political, moral and legal standards that are applied to TNI/ABRI officers should also be applied to the officers and political leaders of the United States.

It is time to make those responsible face up to what they have done. It is time that we demand that our foreign policy place the value of all human life above the value of the dollar, and it is time that we demand that our media take a more critical look at issues rather than serving as government cheerleaders. Until this happens, the blood of all those killed by American policy will be on all of our hands.

logistics of repression should also be charged, prosecuted and, if convicted, jailed. Pragmatically, it is hard to imagine General Wiranto sitting in jail. It is even harder to imagine President Clinton as his cellmate. But justice should be impartial."
I wanted to present these portions of Nairn's statement not only so that people could see the grim reality of the situation in East Timor, but also so that people could read of our own government's support of this decades-long genocide. Our presidents, congressional representatives and arms manufacturers are all guilty of being accomplices to genocide. They have, for decades, put politics and profits above human life. They should be dealt with accordingly.

The East Timorese have been killed by the political goals of the government, the greed of the corporations, the indifference of the press and the blindness of the American people.

ACLU not just picking a fight
Feedback
The editorial "University should stand behind its historical seal" illustrates some confusion about the KU ACLU stance toward the seal. First, contrary to the assertion that this is an "invented issue," the fact that Moses is on our seal was relayed to the KU ACLU by a concerned KU student, not by ACLU rabble-rouers. Later, a handful of KU students expressed their confusion and surprise that we have a religious icon on our
University seal. Far from being an invented issue, the KU ACLU is simply responding to legitimate student concerns.
Secondly, the editorial states that we are "picking a fight." If the writer had read the letter we sent to the chancellor and provided to the Kansan, he would have known that we are simply "seeking the University's response and explanation as to the exact meaning of the seal and Bible verse within the context of a public institution." We have not condemned the seal nor called for its removal; we are only
asking questions. And asking questions certainly seems appropriate at a University whose governing seal supposedly shows a kneeling scholar doing just that.

Non-traditional birthing gains popularity

women to use epidurals if they said they wanted them. She said the care nurse midwives provide varied from clinic to clinic.
"My personal philosophy is that I don't want to put my values and my judgment on someone else and make them feel bad because they want an epidural," Elliot said. "When we sit down with them and figure out their birth plan, we let them decide whether they want an epidural, because when they deliver, we want them to have a happy moment."
Elliot said she could not estimate the number of women who made that choice.
But Howe was not one of them.
But Howe was not one of them. "I could have done that," Howe said. "It was my choice. But my sister said she felt better when she didn't have an epidural compared with when she did."
Luann Baumchen, staff nurse at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, 325 Maine St., said roughly 60 percent of the hospital's birthing mothers used epidurals to alleviate labor pain.
Nurse midwives say the alternative pain-reliving methods they use can serve to empower mothers and lessen their pain through other means. Elliot said the midwives at the clinic utilized diversional activities such as music for their patients. Nurse midwives encourage women to walk around, use water therapy, such as taking a dip in a whirlpool spa or basking in a shower, and sit on a birth stool, which allows the mother to rest on a bar while leaning against her partner.
"We are empowering her by getting her out of bed," Breedlove said. "It makes such a difference in how the woman thinks and feels about the pain of labor."
Partners can get as involved in the labor as they feel comfortable with.
"Some just want to sit and watch," she said. "But others are in there with our hands and their hands working together."
Collaborating with physicians
Collaborating with physicians Elliot established the nurse midwifery practice at the Women's Healthcare Group in 1993, and that year she single-handedly delivered 150 babies. Since then, the practice has grown to four part-time nurse midwives and five on-call doctors, with two midwives working every day. All the nurse midwives have masters degrees in nurse midwifery.
Although Baumchen said midwifery occupied a medical niche, it is a niche Lawrence Memorial has not filled during the 16 years she has worked there.
"Nurses and physicians are always looking for ways to provide better care, and midwifery is a way to provide that," Baumchen said.
"My impression is that midwifery is a respected field when under the auspices of a physician. It's a collaborative effort."
Henry Buck Jr., head of gynecology at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said he agreed that nurse midwifery was becoming an accepted part of obstetrical practice, within the confines of state law, which mandates that the midwife have a medical license. Nurse midwives also have a doctor on call in case an emergency arises during the labor.
"Around here, there are some lay midwives who deliver at home, which is against the law in the state of Kansas," Buck said.
About 70 percent of licensed nurse midwives in hospitals. The other 30 percent practicing in private OB-GYN clinics such as the Women's Healthcare Group.
Although registered nurses attend mothers throughout labor, an obstetrician is not always in the room
until later in the labor process.
"Our standards do not indicate that constant care is needed until the advanced stages of labor unless there are complications," Baumchen said.
unike obstetricians, midwives supply constant care. And Breedlove said that having another person in the room could lessen the laboring mother's panic.
"We offer emotional support by providing continuous presence." Breedlove said. "There is such a calming effect of just not leaving a laboring woman alone."
Howe returned to the Women's Healthcare Group when she found out she was pregnant again. She is due Oct. 17.
"The midwives have an extremely calming effect." Howe said. "I am extremely satisfied with the care I've received. I've recommended them to many, many people."

Kansan book critic
Bottle the water, pack up as much granola as you can, grab some candies and your favorite blanket and head for the hills. As of Jan. 1, 2000, life as we know it, is over.
Or at least this is what Mike Oehler would have us believe in his latest book, "The Hippy Survival Guide to Y2K." Oehler, author of "The $50 & Up Underground House Book," is a homesteading, hippy who lives a self-sufficient life in the woods. He also is quite confident that the year 2000 computer glitch is going to severely alter, if not end, our concept of civilization.
Review
His book is divided into three sections and three appendices. The first section, "The Count Down" — or more appropriately, "The Sky is Falling" — chronicles reports of the computer glitch issues and Oehler's growing concern throughout 1988. After reading this section you will either be scared out of your mind or cynically amused. I was of the latter persuasion.
1 mayoe eat my words come New Year's Day, but it seems unlikely that everything Oehler predicts will actually transpire. If it does, God help us. And bless his heart, thats
just what Oehler is trying to do in this book.
Just what Oehler is trying to do in this book.
He does put a disclaimer on it. He admits the book is highly subjective and acknowledges it's not for everyone. Anyone who questions what a hippy knows about the computer glitch is ordered to stop reading in the introduction.
"No martini-slurping. Prozac-dropping. Viagra-needing, suit-wearing, affluent-affecting, knuckleheaded numbskull is fit to judge this book." Oehrer warns. Point taken.
Oehler has some amazing ideas and makes building an emergency trench house sound like a breeze.
The second section, "Survival Strategies," details how to obtain and store the necessary food and supplies to endure potential Y2K disasters. He also describes how to build a self-sufficient home that will keep you warm without electricity, clean and hydrated without running water and safe from the elements without expensive shelter. One attention catching tip was the concept of building a nest for a bed in the trench house; reverting to our animal instincts for survival.
Book facts
The Hippy Survival Guide to Y2K
Pages: 279
Publisher: Keokee Co. Publishing, Inc.
Price: $14.95
Grade: C+
The third and most enlightening section is called "Silver Bullet Solutions." Now these are not magical remedies to the actual Y2K computer glitch but solutions to the problems that could ensue. Oehler describes how this could be the catastrophe that saves our society...in the long run, that is.
Being a true hippy, he believes deeply in a back-to-the-land mentality and in putting an end to industrialization. This last section of the book is a description of how some of the forced changes the computer glitch could induce would benefit America and the rest of the world.
The appendices include lists of Y2K Web sites, companies that sell essential food and supplies and other books on survival strategies and Y2K.
These are all wonderful tips and even if they
aren't needed for Y2K, they are still good to know for any emergency situation. Oehler has a quote from Gandhi at the beginning of the book, "...without an intelligent return to simplicity, there is no escape from our descent to a state lower than brutality." I believe there is a great deal of truth in that, and urging people to consume less and give more back for the greater good are wonderful ideas and the strongest points in the book.
Although all of this information is helpful and well-intentioned, it is overblown. I am not an expert on the computer glitch. In fact, I know very little.
very little. Oehler presents article after article of supposed Y2K experts detailing potential problems. Potential. The problem is, they never specifically state the likelihood of these things happening or more importantly, why.
Lists of companies that aren't year 2000 compliant does nothing more than scare gullible people, perhaps unnecessarily. Some of the data in the book is already dated and even the companies still working on the problem won't necessarily have such a severe impact on society.

Haskell powwow begins with dancing and fire
By Todd Halstead
writer @ kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
Apache fire dancers and the veterans of the gourd clan opened the Welcome Back to School Powwow at Haskell Indian Nations University Saturday.
"It's to welcome students back to town and to give them a good warm feeling that they are welcome to the city of Lawrence," said Bruce Martin, powwow director.
This year, promoters of the powwow recruited five Apache students from Arizona who were able to perform the fire dance.
After sunset, the fire dancers emerged from the darkness adorned with antierlike head dresses and danced to the undulating voices of the drummers.
Manny King, registrar and master of ceremonies at the event, was impressed by their dancing.
"We try to get them every year, but it never works out because if they don't feel good about performing, they will not dance. In fact, they almost pulled out at the last second tonight." King said. "I thought it was really neat, I really enjoyed them."
The powwow began in the afternoon with a gourd dance. In the middle of the powwow grounds, located at Haskell, sat
a group of drummers who beat out the rhythm to which the dancers performed
Dianne Reyner, Haskell junior, said that members of the gourd clan must be nominated and are usually veterans, but that others could be initiated into the group.
At sunset a single-file line of dancers led by two veterans carrying the American and Kansas flags initiated the Grand Entrance — the beginning of the dance. The dancers circled the drummers in the middle of the arena in a flurry of dancing.
Jeremy Shield, Haskell alumnus, is lead singer of the Thundershield drum group and travels to various powwows in the area.
He related singing at powwows to birds singing early in the morning.
"Those birds are telling the elements that they are enjoying their life here on Earth. That's pretty much the same thing we're doing here," Shield said. "I sing to the elements to let them know I'm enjoying my life."
Shield, a member of the Crow and Oglala tribes, said that the powwow was more of a social event, where people come together to enjoy themselves, sing and dance, rather than a religious ritual.
"A lot of the dancers dance for those
who can't dance anymore," Shield said.
who can't dance anymore," Shield said. Ira Toshavik, a member of the Caddo Commanche tribe, has been dancing for more than nine years.
"Traditionally you are reenacting hunting, a battle, or a journey," Toshavik said. "You try to tell a story of either how you killed your enemies or how you took down your prey."
The powwow was open to anyone in an attempt to strengthen bonds between the non-Native-American and Native-American communities.
"It makes us feel good to share this with the Lawrence community. Any events at Haskell are open to the public," Reyner said. "We try to bridge the gap between the two communities."

New emergency contraceptive no great breakthrough to Watkins

A woman can prevent one of the 2.7 million unwanted pregnancies that occur every year in the United States, even after the heat of the moment has passed.
Preven, a drug just recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration, is one of several emergency contraceptives that can prevent pregnancy up to 72 hours after sex.
Emergency contraceptives have been available since the 1970s, but Preven is the first FDA-approved product marketed in the United States as an emergency contraceptive.
“It’s different in the way it’s packaged, but it really isn't any other,” he said.
Henry Buck Jr., Watkins Memorial Health Center head of gynecology, said that although Preven was a relatively new product, it was not any different than the contraceptives Watkins had been prescribing for years.
Bob Emerson, staff pharmacist at Watkins, said the health center carried
Preven, but to his knowledge, had never dispensed it.
Buck said he was more apt to prescribe Ovrel, a product that was cheaper than the $21 Preven and prevented nausea, a common side effect of emergency contraceptives.
"We can do for the students about the same thing and give them the nausea pill, which is helpful," he said.
Emergency contraceptives are relatively popular at Watkins, with usually at least one prescribed to a student per day, Buck said.
However, according to Carolyn Fleming, Preven product director, emergency contraceptives have been a well-kept secret. She said only 1 percent of all women have used an emergency contraceptive and only 11 percent understood them.
Emergency contraceptives can be used up to three days after sex, but work best if taken within six to 12 hours. They could be useful in situations in which a contraceptive malfunctioned, was misused or was not used at all.
Emergency contraceptives work in the
same way as birth control by stopping or delaying ovulation. If no egg is released, a woman cannot become pregnant. They are different than the European "abortion pill." RU-486, because they work to prevent a pregnancy rather than to end a pregnancy.
Buck said that although emergency contraceptives were effective, he recommended birth control to women who requested products such as Preven.
"We much prefer other kinds of contraceptives," he said. "It should not be used for intermittent contraception."
Emergency contraceptives also fail to prevent sexually transmitted diseases.
Students interested in Preven, Ovrel or other emergency contraceptives offered at Watkins can get a prescription at the gynecology department. They must take a pregnancy test to ensure they are not pregnant from the month before, but no other gynecological exams are necessary.

Kansas students are using hot line to fight violence
The Associated Press
TOPEKA—Posters that appeared in Kansas classrooms this year advertising a hot line for anonymous reports of potential school violence apparently are getting children's attention.
So far this academic year, 150 to 200 toll-free calls have been received at the Kansas Highway Patrol's central dispatch center in Salina, according to Sgt. John Eckhorn, the patrol's spokesman.
Of those calls, 38 have been referred to local law enforcement agencies and the school districts involved for follow-up. Elkhorn said.
"All the calls are anonymous," he said. "It's a way for them to come forward with information without fearing retaliation or without triggering a lot of beer pressure from other kids."
Most of the calls have come from children — precisely the group the hot line, created at the suggestion of several state legislators, was intended to help.
"I would characterize most of the calls as identification of weapons or reports about some kind of threats." Eickhorn said.
Dale Dennis, the deputy state commissioner of education, helped get the hot line program up and going.
"We've had a few reports that some kids have called the hot line about things they were afraid of that weren't necessarily connected to schools," he said. "But I feel pretty good about the way the hot line appears to be working, and the patrol has been super in the way they run it."
During the summer, the state Department of Education distributed 30,000 posters, enough to put one in each classroom in Kansas' 304 school districts. The message: "Stay Safe. Speak Up. Stop School Violence."
In large red numbers is the hot line number: 1-877-629-8203.
"We've received a few crank calls, unfortunately," Eichkorn said. "But it's worth if it this program provides the information that'll stop just one act of school violence."
Russia warns militants of ground attack
The Associated Press
GROZNY, Russia—The Russian military on Sunday warned it may launch ground operations against Islamic militants in Chechnya while warplanes bombed the Chechen capital for a fourth day, pounding industrial and communications facilities.
and commerci
Four Russian jets flew repeatedly over the city's southern Oktyabrsky district Sunday morning, firing rockets and dropping bombs, the Interfax news agency said. The district is the site of Chechnya's now-destroyed television broadcasting center as well as oil wells.
Russian Defense Minister Igor
Sergeyev said he could not rule
out the possibility of launching ground operations in the breakaway republic. Until now, the military has favored an air war that would keep Russian casualties to a minimum.
"There are several variants of a plan for ground operations, which will be implemented depending on the situation that develops." Interfax quoted Sergeyev as saying. He spoke while visiting soldiers recovering from Dagestan battle wounds in a Moscow military hospital.
tary hosp he said that the main aim of all the plans is to eliminate the bandits and to create a considerably deep security zone around Chechnya.

who want to form an independent Islamic nation in what is now southern Russia. The Russian military said the air raids are aimed at preventing militant
incursions from Chechnya into the Russian republic of Dagestan, where they fought Russian forces in August and September.
increasingly, however, Russian leaders have vowed to eradicate the militants altogether.
Eyewitnesses said that during the past four days, Russian air raids have destroyed more than 100 oil pumps, reservoirs and small refineries in and around Grozny that are believed to be controlled by Chechen rebel field commanders. The oil was the basis of a profitable business providing low-grade gasoline to other Russian regions.
Russian planes also struck suspected rebel camps near Chechnya's border with Dagestan
on Saturday, the ITAR-Tass news agency said, citing the provisional federal press center in Dagenstan.
Col. Gen. Anatoly Kornukov, commander of Russia's Air Force, said in a television interview Sunday that the air campaign against Chechnya could last another month.
Russian military commanders appeared to be considering a major raid into Chechnya to put the militants on the defensive and stop their incursions into surrounding Russian territory. While Russian has massed armored forces on the Chechen borders, military analysts say the force is too small to mount a full-scale invasion of Chechnya.
Stanford study shows sleep apnea makes driving as difficult as DUI
The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS - Too little sleep can slow you down as much as too many drinks.
That's the conclusion of a Stanford University study of people with mild to moderate sleep apnea: people whose breathing stops several or even dozens of times an hour, interrupting their sleep without their knowledge.
About 12 million Americans have the problem, but fewer than 2 million of them have been diagnosed, according to the American Sleep Apnea Association's Web Site. The undiagnosed figure may be as high as 25 million, according to Stanford's Sleep Disorders Clinic and Research Center.
Chief told Researcher people known to have apnea did as poorly on a test of reaction time as people who were too drunk to drive a bus or truck in California, said Dr. Nelson B. Powell of the Stanford center. Powell said he wanted to underscore the dangers of driving while sleepy, whether or not it's because of apnea.
Powell presented his study Sunday at the annual convention of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck
Surgery Foundation, Inc.
"This is a wonderful study," said Dr. Regina Walker, an associate professor of otolaryngology at Loyola University in Chicago. "It is an extremely well-thought-out, well-controlled, prospective study that is looking at something I think is of great significance."
The study looked at 80 volunteers and 113 people with apnea. The volunteers' average age was 29; 56 percent were women. In contrast, 81 percent of the apnea patients were men, and their average age was 47.
men, and their behavior. However, statistical analysis ruled out age and gender as reasons for the difference. Powell said.
All of the people took a 10-minute test of reaction speed, pushing a button to turn off a randomly set light. After four tests to get their baseline reaction time, the comparison group started drinking 90-proof alcohol.
group said their breath stopped about 29 times an hour while they were asleep, did worse on all seven measurements than the drinkers did on their first retest, and worse on three of them than those who were legally drunk
Scientific statement insults Kansas Catholic Conference
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Kan—The Kansas Catholic Conference has no problem with the teaching of evolution.
But it does object to a statement in Kansas' new science standards, which created a furor last month with their de-emphasis of evolution.
emphasis on events.
In a recent report, the conference said a statement in the standards insulted religion by equating it with myth and superstition, said Mary Kay Culp, associate director of education for the conference.
The evolution debate
The conference speaks for the state's four Catholic bishops on public affairs and lobbies the Kansas Legislature and other state bodies, including the Kansas Board of Education.
The report also claimed the scientists who wrote the National Science Standards have an anti-religion agenda. The national standards influenced parts of the Kansas standards.

authority may be personally useful and socially relevant, but they are not scientific."
"Evolution," Culp said, "should be taught in a way that doesn't undermine religion."
may that it makes a mistake. Eugenie Scott, a member of the group of scientists criticized in the report, said the complaint was off base.
philanthropy was on base. The religion paragraph, taken from national standards written by the National Academy of Sciences, doesn't equate religious beliefs with myth but lists the two as belief systems that are not scientific, said Scott, director of the National Center for Science Education in Berkeley, Calif.
Berkeley, CA Students in Catholic schools learn about evolution, and Pope John Paul II has said the theory does not conflict with the church's doctrine. Catholic doctrine states that human souls were specially created by God. Whether humans physically evolved isn't an issue, said Kathy O'Hara, associate schools superintendent of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas.
"It doesn't matter to us how it happens, just that it did." O'Hara said.
Culp said the Kansas Catholic Conference report has been sent to the U.S. Catholic Conference and would be presented to the four Kansas Catholic bishops.

Her eight legs banded brown and white were cocked up against her sides. Her abdomen looked like a swollen black-eyed pea. Suspended in a web strewn between two guardrails on the bridge over the Kansas River, the spider was one of hundreds that dwell there, catching the eye of Lawrence residents.

"I see them every time I walk to the levy," said Aaron Showalter, a Prairie Village senior walking his golden-haired dog across the bridge. "They're all over, and they're always building webs. It's a little unnerving."
webs. is a fine internet writer
Lawrence residents call it a bridge spider for obvious reasons: she and her sister spiders have gained an impressive purchase on the bridge.
On a walk across the bridge each step carries a person past two or three more webs shaggy with insects and shaking with hustling spiders.
insists and shading it under the bridge, I watched the brown river slide over the Bowersock Dam. I had come to gather a specimen for the scientists to identify and explain why, in ecological terms, the spiders' conquest of the bridge had been absolute.
Their webs are laden with food, their numbers are strong and outside competition doesn't seem to be a factor. All of this is in defiance of the general tendency of man-made intrusions to disrupt an animal's habitat. Migrating birds get sucked through turbines. Frogs get flattened on turnikes.
but this has not been the case with this spider — the bridge over the Kansas River has become this spider's promised land. The next day, Jamal Sandidon landed.
The next day, Jamel Sandidge, Lynchberg, Va. took the jar from my hands.
In the laboratory where he worked, pickled arachnids floated in shelved bottles. Centipedes scurried in heaps under leaves in aquariums.
"It's an orb weaver," he said, peering at the spider imprisoned inside it.
Sandridge, who studies population dynamics, is a spider man. He keeps his pet tarantula at home fed with crickets and maths. He and his friends spent a recent afternoon pitching grasshoppers at webspies out by Clinton lake. He will lead a spider spotlighting expedition for the Natural History Museum in October.
re said that he would need to observe more of the bridge spiders in their natural habitat before he could make a more precise identification.
Pound for pound, the orb weaver's silk is stronger than steel, he said. It's composed of protein, which the orb weaver recycles by devouring its own web when it becomes worn.
In the meantime, he rattled off facts and flipped through identification books, while a tarantula the size of a aerobii scurried across his arms.
It has eight eyes, but its vision is bad. It understands its world through its sense of touch, cataloging the variety of vibrations that come running down the threads of its web.
"Factility is a way of hearing and seeing," Sandidge said. "If you just lightly touch the web, it'll go for you."
Male orb weavers, who wander from web to web without making a home of their own, strum the female's web with a rhythm unique to their species. The female interprets the vibrations to decide if he's a potential mate or a potential meal.
Sandiage said they'd shed their skin four or five times a season, and then most would die within a year. Male orb-weavers die sooner because they lose their will to live after their first and last act of
Three days later, though, after Sandie had a fix on the species of the spider—Nucetena cornu—a he said that male bridge spiders were exceptional among orb weavers. They can mate up to six times before they become indifferent and die. Females will even share a meal and lend a web from time to time.
sex, or else the females eats them
"They're tolerant of males for a short time," San-didge said. "And then they'll decide they've had enough and kill your ass."
Sanddice said that an orb weaver can sometimes live through the winter. Black widows, a cousin to the bridge spider, will curl into a ball beneath the snow, freeze solid, thaw with the spring and walk again, hungry and full of venom.
The bridge spider and most spiders aren't poisonous to humans, he said. They won't bite unless harassed.
Sandidge even leaves their webs up inside his house.
"They're the best bug catchers," he explained.
That night,
I caught a moth that had been ticking against my ceiling light.
I dropped it in the jar and watched
it plow through the spider's makeshift web
On the bridge, the webs go up at night. The webs appear open, generous in space and spare in silk. The geometry is clean, the intersections distinct. I thought they looked pretty, illuminated by the streetlights.
But watching the moth trip through the spider's snakes in the jar, the webs seemed less innocent.
When I saw Sandidge next, he had found out the key to the bridge invasion
they're Furrow spiders," he said. "They're opportunists."
Bruce Cutler, director of entomology, independently confirmed Sandidge's identification.
Furrow spiders have a fondness for man-made structures and outdoor lights, Sandiage said. They lay their eggs wherever the food supply is good, and the supply by the bridge is better than good.
"If I were a spider," he said, "I'd build my web up there."
He had investigated the bridge and walked down below it beside the river. The stagnant water around the bridge was a breeding ground for white flies called midges. The moment the midges hatch, lust-stricken they bee-line for the lights above the bridge to find a mate.

Football frustration hits Kansas
Coach apologizes after blowout loss to San Diego State
By Mike Miller sports@kansas.com Kansan sportwriter
The bad moon that rose over Memorial Stadium on Saturday night must have been an omen that things would not go well for the Kansas football team.
But omens usually indicate disasters — this one came two quarters too late.
By the time the moon rose over the east stands of the stadium, Kansas was down 31-7 and on its way to a 41-13 defeat against the San Diego State Aztecs.
The Jayhawks were blown away by an Aztec offense that racked up 572 yards — 413 in the first half. The loss dropped Kansas' record to 1-3.
Maybe the MegaVision malfunction late in the first quarter after San Diego State's second touchdown was another sign of things to come. That quarter might give coach Terry Allen nightmares for the rest of the year.
"In the second quarter the momentum and frustration started to mount and then the bottom fell out," Allen said. "There's a million things that were wrong."
The nightmare began in the first quarter when the Aztecs drove 80 yards, scored a
touchdown and then did the exact same thing seven minutes later. Both drives started with a large gain, had a methodical march down the field, alternated runs with the pass, and ended with the same result: seven points for San Diego State.
Then, Aztec quarterback Jack Howley started slicing apart the Kansas secondary with the precision of a neurosurgeon. Dresses of 94 yards, 85 yards and 48 yards
not only ripped through the defense, they demoralized Kansas.
"You feel like you're trying so hard to stop the ball, and they're just moving the ball at will. We didn't know what was going on," safety Greg Erb said.
Dylen Smith lead the Jayhawks on two scoring drives. One culminated with a 43-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Harrison Hill, the other on a 5-yard touchdown run by running back David Winbush.
"People are angry. People are pissed off. This is as big a loss as I can remember."
The Aztecs amassed 253 yards in the second quarter, mostly on Hawley's arm. He was eight of nine passing for 228 yards and two touchdowns in the second quarter — more yards and touchdowns than Kansas quarterbacks threw for in the entire game. It was a cool efficient performance from a guy who was starting the second game of his career and had been sharing time with the other Aztec quarterback.
But the scores came when the outcome was no longer in question.
The Aztecs' domination was clear from the start. They had more yards in the first
"He played the game of his life," Erb said. He should have been so lucky.

Kansas should have been so clever. Starter Zac Wegner didn't have much chance to throw the ball — he spent his time either handing off or running for his life from the Aztecs, who rushed only three or four linemen the whole game.

quarter alone than the Jayhawks had in the game.
"I don't know what's wrong with us — no clue," running back Mitch Bowles said. "I thought Colorado was bad last week. This is a new low." Evan, as the clock
ran out on the Aztecs in the first half, they still managed to gain yards and score points. Hawley wheyed a 49-yard pass that was caught as the first half ended. But a penalty was called on Kansas that gave San Diego State a free play. The Aztecs kicked a short field goal that made the score 31-0.
"They were doing everything right. Even when we stopped them, we really didn't stop them." Erb said.

At that point the hir skeron said to "People are angry. People are pissed off," Hill said. "This is as big a loss as I can remember."

to rebound from a 51-17 blowout against Colorado, the loss was devastating, especially with Big 12 Conference play coming up.
"It's not a pretty time coming up for us. We have to reevaluate where we are," Allen said. "It's an embarrassment. I apologize to you and our fans and our loyal ones there tonight. What else can I say? I'm sorry."

The Kansas women's soccer team has run its streak to three.
"It feels great to have some wins under our belt when we go play some teams that are going to hopefully put us closer to our goal (of qualifying for the Big 12 Conference tournament)," senior goalkeeper Betsy Pollard said.
has put their streak to duty 3-0 on Friday afternoon, the Jayhawks captured the KU Credit Union Jayhawk Invitational Tournament title by shutting out Creighton 1-0 yesterday. The wins improved Kansas' record to 5-4, giving them their first winning record of the season and increasing its winning streak to three — something the team is excited to have heading back into conference play.
The game was a defensive battle. The Bluejays came out putting tight pressure on the Jayhawk offense. The close game came as no surprise to Francis.
"I think just winning three in a row has given them some confidence and made us realize we can play with good teams," Francis said. "We've just got to keep improving."
"I knew they were good," Francis said. "I know they battled to the end and didn't give up, but if we would've put our chances away I think it would have been over earlier."
Coach Mark Francis was pleased with the wins as well.
rne Kansas defense countered with a staunch performance of its own, limiting the Bluejays to nine shots.
Kansas fired 16 shots but only connected on one. One was all they needed. Junior Hilla Rantala took the ball down the left corner, beat three defenders down the goal line and slid the ball under Creighton goleeper Maggie Phelan, which put Kansas on top in the 21st minute of play.
The goal, Rantala's second of the weekend, didn't come as a surprise to Francis. He just pleased she's finally back from an ankle injury and starting to return to form.
"Today was her best game so far since she's been back," Francis said. "She's just now starting to get to where she's doing some of the things that I know she can do."
After Rantala's goal, the game remained deadlocked and the Jayhawks battled off some tough attacks by the Bluejays, including fending off six corner kicks, the biggest coming with four minutes remaining. Creighton sent a corner kick into the box, and the ball was jugged among a crowd of players. But Pollard pounced on it to preserve the shutout.
In addition, Francis credits four other players' work in the second half in fending off the Creighton attack. Juniors Katie Lents, Lindsey Horner, and freshmen Brianna Valento and Bridget Goyen sparked

Weekends tend to be the big party days in college towns, but for students looking for a bargain, Monday Night Football specials have become a big hit in Lawrence.
The phenomenon of Monday Night Football is one that has grown in recent years. Once just a way to give a couple of NFL teams an extra day of rest and some time in the spotlight, it has become a convenient reason for students to go out on a Monday night, have

"The specials are great," said David Noyce, Edina, Minn., first year law student.
"The game doesn't matter — it's an oxymoron."
"Usually Monday Night Football draws a big crowd, especially if Green Bay or Denver is playing," said J.R. Sutton, general manager of J.B. Stouts.
"Normally Monday nights are slower so we're trying to get sure volume by lowering the prices and bringing in a lot of people."
J. B. Stouts, whose specials include $1.75 "fat boy" beers, 30-cent Buffalo wings, and half price nachos, is not alone in this methodology. Several other bars offer drink and food specials to attract those that enjoy football.
For example Henry's T, 3520 W. Sixth St.

Kansas is paying for Coach Allen's blissful ignorance
The Jayhawk's 1-3 record is a profound result of their coach being ill-prepared for their competition. Botched names, blown scouting, bungled games.

given to the press conference before the Colorado game. Allen asked the media for the names of a few Buffaloaes players. He asked reporters about Marcus "Siggers" and Marcus "Stinger," but he failed to ask for Marcus Stiggers, the Colorado speedster who eventually lit Kansas up like a candle. He is one of the nation's fastest wide receivers.
Can Terry Allen say 'uh-oh?'
Allen did the same buffoonery before the San Diego State game. He asked for the name and pronunciation of Aztecs defensive end Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila. We'll spot Allen the tongue-twisting surname, but he again seemed unconcerned with a preseason All-American (in one publication) who could eventually be a high NFL draft pick. Gbaja-Biamila had three sacks against Kansas and was in its backfield more than any Jayhawk running back.
Kansas obviously had little knowl-

Smith said that he was unaware if Hawley would start and that Hawley was not on the scouting board. Whoops, Hawley, who started the previous week at then-No. 17 Southern California, also did so against Kansas and enjoived a career game.
turns out, Smith played against Hawley twice in California junior college games. Allen did not know this. Couldn't this information, from at least a familiarity and scouting standpoint, have been useful? Allen must not have thought so.
Allen's lackadaisical attitude is not a good example for his team or any college student.

Envision sending your resume to a Mr. Waters when it should have gone to a Ms. Walters. Success will not be had when the proper preparation is not done.
Allen is not a good role model right now. He is not doing his homework, and the Jayhawks are paying dearly for it on their Saturday tests.
When coaches do not know the names of other team's players, the opposition will — and should — take it as an insult. Kansas basketball fans, players and coaches would be livid if an opposing coach said, "We know a little something about Eric What'sHis-Name," and did not know his last name, Chenowith.
Most coaches will wax poetic about other teams. Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams is a poet laureate at it, a regular Boy Scout when it comes to saying the proper things about other teams — he will be prepared. It's no coincidence the team wins regularly when it is prepared for every situation and every press conference.
Now, Allen is faced with a team that is preparing to enter the tough part of its schedule. The Jayhawks have scouted poorly, and maybe now that will change as they face familiar Big 12 conference foes.
But they are porous on defense.
but they are porous on defense. Kansas cannot score right now and has no one worth mentioning.
Other teams know this.

Aries: Today is an 8.
Money, money, money, money! Is that all you can think about? There's a rumor money's coming into your account soon. But, wait! There are some technical difficulties! Ain't that just the way it goes? Grab hold of as much as possible before it all gets away.
Taurus; Today is a 7.
Gemini: Today is an 8.
You're sure getting a lot of questions. Everybody wants to pick your brain, but they don't want to pay you expert wagges! Don't give up and don't give away everything you know, either. Keep a couple of aces up your sleeve.
Things could get kind of locked up today. The traffic is pretty heavy. You might be one of the few people who can negotiate in and out. So, make sure the right message gets to the right person.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
Focus your attention on a friend today. This person needs your support. Your life has been kind of confusing lately, but this person has had some real problems to deal with. Offer a healing hand.
Leo: Today is a 7.
You could get a chance to use some of the things you learned recently. Don't be upset if you don't get it perfectly yet. You're on your way to Carnegie Hall, remember? So, just keep practicing. You're doing fine.
Virgo: Today is a 6.
This is another Walter Mitty sort of day. You have wonderful dreams, yet you're surrounded by the nagging same-old-same-old. Which will prevail? Well, the more you believe in your dreams, the stronger they become.
Libra: Today is a 7.
The more money you save, the more you seem to need. Is this what they call "keeping it in circulation?" You want to buy gifts for your family and your friends, but hold off on some of that stuff. Better pay off the old bills before you make new ones.
Scorpio: Today is a 4.
Saqittarius: Today is an 8.
Continue to put your support behind another person today. Somebody else is going to be more effective at achieving your goals than you are. That's not that to say you're not effective; it's just that the best way to do it right now is to work through somebody else.
Capricorn: Today is a 6.
You may be eagerly anticipating going back to work, amazing though that may sound. An idea is burning inside you, demanding to be expressed. Your friends want to help, too. So, rip and tear. You all could make a big difference, but be patient.

Today, there should be plenty of love but maybe not enough money. Don't worry about how you'll afford something you want, especially if it involves romance in any way. Working on problems together is a bonding experience and might even be fun. Take on a challenge.

You should take your vacation at this time of year. That way, work won't interfere with your fun. You may also be so intrigued with a household project that you don't give a fig about what's happening at your job. Watch out for that.

Longhorns rout Bears in conference debut
WACO, Texas — The lone grass stain on Texas quarterback Major Applewhite's knee said it all.

Budig suspends umpire second time in season
BASEBALL
NEW YORK — For the second time this season, baseball has called an umpire out.
American League president Gene Budig suspended John Shulock for three games Friday and fine him an undisclosed amount for overly aggressive behavior, display of temper, inappropriate remarks and physical contact with Tampa Bay catcher Mike DeFelice.
Budig acted on the blowup that occurred in a game between Anaheim and Tampa Bay on Monday.
Earlier in the season, National League umpire Tom Hallion was suspended for three games without pay for allegedly bumping Colorado catcher Jeff Reed and pitching coach Milt May.

McGwire crushes No. 60, trails Sosa by one homer
McGwire's solo shot in the eighth inning off Cincinnati's Scott Sullivan made him the third player to hit 400 homers in a decade. Babe Ruth had 467 in the 1920s and Jimmie Foxx had 415 in the 1930s.
CINCINNATI — Mark McGwire hit his 60th homer Sunday afternoon, adding his name to a couple more record book categories.
Just as he did last year on his way to a record 70 homers, McGwire hit No.60 off the Reds.
Last year, McGwire hit No. 60 off
Reds reliever Dennys Reyes, keeping him just ahead of Sammy Sosa in the two-man home run race. The Chicago Cubs outfielder occasionally caught up with but could never surpass McGwire, finishing with 66 homers.
This time, the St. Louis first baseman was the latecomer.
Sosa hit No. 60 eight days earlier at Wrigley Field, becoming the first ever to hit 60 twice. McGwire joined him and moved to within one of Sosa for the major league lead.
McGwire has been limited by a sore back and a strained groin in September. He had an unimpressive
round of batting practice before Friday's game — several high, arching shots that barely cleared the walls, but none that made the several thousand fans marvel — and was 0-for-6 with a pair of walks as the Reds won the first two games in the series.
He was swinging better Sunday. He flew out to the warning track in right field in the first inning against Juan Guzman, then popped out in his next at-bat and doubled to right.
McGwire hit the first pitch from Sullivan for No. 60 with two outs in the eighth, cutting Cincinnati's lead to 4-2.
it was noteworthy that he got No. 60 in Cincinnati, the place where he's been less than a home run king. He finally got his first career homer at Riverfront Stadium/Cinergy Field last July 22, connecting off reliever Danny Graves in the ninth inning.
McGwire is 7-for-38 with four singles, a double and two homers in 51 plate appearances in Cincinnati, a span that includes the 1988 All-Star game and the 1990 World Series.
His homer Sunday extended his record for homers in a two-season span to 130. It was the 517th homer of his career.

Rantala's return sparks three-game win streak
By Brad Hallier
Kansan associate sports editor
Numbers don't lie.
Numbers don't like.
Since the return of forward Hilla Rantala to the Kansas lineup last Tuesday at Southwest Missouri State, the Jayhawks have played three games. They have won all three, including yesterday's 1-0 win against Creighton, which clinched the KU Credit Union Jayhawk Invitational championship for Kansas.
And since Rentala's return from the ankle srain she sustained in the first

Is it a coincidence that the Jayhawks have won all of their games that Rantala has played the full match?
minute of the season opener vs. Colorado, Kansas has scored eight goals.
"Probably has something to do with it," Kansas coach Mark Francis said. "It's very important that she's back."
In addition to her goal yesterday, Rantala scored in the ninth minute in a 34 win against Drury on Friday. Her two goals this weekend earned her a spot on the all-tournament team.
spot on the art-barn. Rantala's goal yesterday could have been classified as a thing of beauty. In the 21st minute, she took the ball at the upper left-hand corner of the Bluejay penalty area, beat two defenders on a run to the goal line, cut the ball back to the inside while beating another defender, dribbled to about five yards from the goal, and snuck a shot under Creighton goalkeeper Maggie Phelan.
Rantala said that she was actually thinking of passing the ball during her run instead of shooting it.
Soccer
"I was running really fast, and I didn't have a lot of time to think," she said. "But I didn't see anyone to pass to, so I shot it."
She created clear-cut opportunities for us to score that we didn't put away," he said. "But it didn't hurt."

us. If you can miss that many opportunities and still win, you have to be happy.
Among those opportunities were the three passes that were intended for Rantala, but she simply did a dummy, letting the ball roll by her to a teammate. Each time the Bluejays' defense froze, but the Jawhaws could not capitalize.
Rantala may have even fooled her own teammates at times. After allowing a ball to roll by her in the second half, forward Lindsey O'Hara appeared surprised and could not handle the ball.
Despite the two-goal and one-assist performance last week, Rantala said she is not 100 percent.
"It's hard to turn and it hurts a lot to shoot, but I am getting better," she said. "It was really hard sitting out for a month. It was the first time in three years that I've been hurt like this."

Reves smashes 1,000th career kill in win
By Shown Hutchinson sports@kansas.com Kansas运动员 sportsman
It was a day for the record books for Amanda Reves.
Alabama Revs.
Reves, a senior middle blocker,
became the fourth Jayhawk to get 1,000 career kills, and the Kansas volleyball team defeated the Missouri Tigers in five games Saturday at the Hearnes Center in Columbia, Mo., gaining its first Big 12 Conference victory of the season.
"It's definitely an honor." Reves said about joining the elite 1,000 club. "It's hard to imagine that many kills, but it's a lot of work by the setters, that's for sure."
Reves, whose total now stands at 1,004 trails Judy Desch (1,146), Cyndee Kanabel (1,122), and Moira Donovan (1,081).
The Jayhawks, 10-3 overall and 1-1 in
the conference, edged the Tigers, 2:15, 15-11, 7-15, 15-8 and 15-12. The win was first for the Jayhawks at Missouri since Oct. 30, 1996, and dropped the 'Tigers' record to 5-7 and 0-2 in Big 12 play.
"It was a gutty, gutty effort," Kansas coach Ray Beachard said. "I guess it's a positive sign to not play your best but still get a win in this conference."
The Jayhawks rebounded in the second game, 15-11, but found their backs against the wall when they lost the third game, 7-15. However, despite a 22-kill performance by Missouri freshman middle blocker Christi Myers, the Jayhawks won the last two games, 15-8 and 15-12, and won the match.
Kansas started the match by playing far from its best. The Tigers limited the Jayhawks to two points in the first game, as Missouri out-hit Kansas.
"It wasn't as pretty as we would have liked," Reves said. "But it's still nice to get the win."
Junior outside hitter Amy Matt led the Jayhawks with 23 kills, Reves added 17 and senior outside hitter Mary Beth Albrecht had 12. Junior outside hitter Nancy Bell paced the team with 14 dips, and sophomore setter Molly LaMere had 61 assists.
Another statistic that stood out for Kansas was that the team improved its record away from home to 7.0.
The Jayhawks will try to keep their road record spotless at 7 p.m. Wednesday, when they travel to Lincoln, Neb., to take on the No. 4 Nebraska Cornhuskers. The Cornhuskers, 9-3 and 1-1 on the season, defeated Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas on Friday night, 9-15, 15-11, 15-7 and 15-1. Kansas is 2-61 all-time against Nebraska.
That record includes tournament wins against Maryland-Baltimore County, Oakland (Mich.). West Virginia, Lehigh, Eastern Michigan and Tennessee.

Crenshaw leads United States in Ryder Cup win
The Associated Press
BROOKLINE, Mass. — All Ben Crenshaw asked his Ryder Cup team to do was believe, and the Americans responded with a charge that was simply unbelievable.
With a birdie putt that was as long as America's chances, Justin Leonard took dead aim and finished off the greatest comeback in Ryder Cup history, assuring the 17-inch gold chalice a home on U.S. soil for the first time since 1993.
Victory came on the 17th green, across the street from where Francis Quimet lived when he won the 1913 U.S. Open and made golf popular in the United States. This triumph made heroes out of a U.S. team that pushed aside the dispute about money and won something that proved to be far more valuable.
"I never stopped believing," said a choked-up Crenshaw after a 14 1/2-13 1/2 victory. "I'm stunned. This is so indescribable."
Leonard's 45-foot birdie putt unleashed a torrent of emotion that had been building throughout an electric day at The Country Club, where fans cheered every United States victory and every missed putt by the Europeans.
The putt guaranteed the Americans 14 1/2 points, the amount they needed to win, but an amount few believed they would get.
"This was history being made today, and we all wanted to be a part of that," said Hal Sutton, the rock-solid star of the U.S. team who contributed 3 1/2 points. "This is the greatest moment in golf right now."
despite a 10-6 deficit going into the final round and despite the fact no
team has ever come back from more than two points on the last day, Crenshaw refused to give in.
Orrishman's a bad believer "I'm a big believer in fate," he said Saturday night, wagging his finger with a wink.
Those were fitting words from Crenshaw, who won the 1995 Masters after the death of his long-time teacher Harvey Penick. At the time, he said he felt it was Penick's spirit guiding him along.
In much the same way, Creshman willed his team to victory on this course, which has a long history of U.S. victories.
"It's all because of Ben Crenshaw," Davis Love III said. "He fired us up, made me believe we could do it."
The United States overwhelmed Europe in the first six matches, closing all of them out before the 17th hole. Even David Duval, who
referred to the Ryder Cup as an exhibition, showed how much it meant by repeatedly shaking his fists and cupping his hand to his ear, asking the gallery for even more noise — maybe too much noise.
The Europeans found it excessive, and took exception to the player celebration after Leonard's putt because Jose Maria Olazabal still had a birdie putt to tie the match and possibly keep alive Europe's fading hopes.
“It's about the most disgusting thing I've ever seen,” assistant captain Sam Torrance said. “This is not sour grapes. The whole American team, and spectators ran right across the green over Olly's line. He still has a putt to the hole. We could still take the Ryder Cup home. It was disgusting.”
No comback, however, was as
symbolic as Leonard's. He had never
won a Ryder Cup match, and looked as if he had no chance against Olazabal when he trailed by four holes with seven to play.
noses with his helm.
Leonard won the next four holes to square the match, the last one a 35-footer on the 15th that gave the Americans another chance when Mark O'Meara faltered.
The cup was clinched on No. 17 when Leonard's 45-foot birdie putt banged into the back of the cup and dropped.
Olazabal birdied the 18th to halve the match, but by then the United States' celebration was well under. Leonard led the U.S. team in spraying champagne around the 18th green where the Stars and Stripes were waving.
The United States wound up winning 8 1/2 points out of 12 singles matches, its biggest margin since
1979. The Americans won by a rout that year, but this was different. They needed every point, every putt.
Europe, which looked so dominant in building what appeared to be an insurmountable lead, ran out of gas. Jesper Parnevic and Sergio Garcia, 3-01 while paired the first two days, were beaten back by Duval and Jim Furyk.
It was the first time all week the 19-year-old Spaniard, the youngest player in Ryder Cup history, couldn't muster a smile.
Creshawk hammered home his belief in fate during an emotional team meeting Saturday night in which every player spoke passionately — even Duval.
"I told them to go out and kill 'em." Duval said. He did his part, winning six of the first eight holes against Parmek in a 5 and 4 victory.
Cornhuskers' victory is 100th this decade

Eric Crouch threw for two touchdowns and ran for one as Nebraska (4-0) won its 100th game of the 1990s — one fewer than the decade's top team, Florida State.
"It's real small." Missouri coach Larry Smith said. "We stunk. That's the worst excuse for a football team I've ever seen in my life."
Nebraska held Missouri (2-1) to a second-quarter field goal, and Julius Jackson had an interception and a fumble recovery, both setting up touchdowns.
Nebraska's offense also came alive when Crouch hit former quarterback Bobby Newcombe for a 5-yard score in the second
half and Correll Buckhalter ran for 132 yards on 14 carries with a touchdown. Crouch had 92 yards rushing on 15 carries and was 10-for-17 passing for 143 yards.
The first two snaps from Ben Davidson, both from the Missouri 35, sailed over the head of punter Jared Gilpin. The first was about 10 feet too
high and Gilip bobbed it once in full retreat before slapping it out of the end zone for a safety with 13:13 left in the first quarter. Gilip leaped to get his hands on the second snap but it got away, and he
finally threep a desperate pass that fell incomplete. Five plays later, Crouch hit Davison for a 90 lead.
Jackson intercepted Kirk Farmer's pass to give Nebraska the ball at the Missouri 31 with two seconds left in the quarter. On the next play, Crouch run around right end on the option to make it 16-0.
Jackson recovered a fumble by wide receiver Brandon Ford at the Missouri 30 in the third quarter to set up a 10-yard scoring run by Correll Buckhalter.
Nebraska led 19-3 at the break, the first time in 21 games that Missouri did not lead at halftime. The Cornhuskers had a whopping 196-52 advantage in yardage.

AMES, Iowa — Iowa State finally played well enough against Kansas State to give the Wildcats a scare.

East Carolina upsets No.9 Hurricanes 27-23
The Associated Press
RALEIGH, N.C. — With all that East Carolina has been through in the last six days, a 20-point deficit didn't look all that daunting.
David Garrard's 27-yard touchdown pass to Keith Stokes with 4:51 left capped a fourth rallie and led the hurdle.
cane-battered Pirates to a 27-23 upset of No. 9 Miami Saturday night. It was the highest-ranked team East Carolina had ever beaten.
The Pirates (4-0) remained unbeaten despite having not been home in more than a week because of flooding and associated problems caused by Hurricane Floyd. The game was moved to Raleigh, 85 miles west of the East Carolina campus in Greenville. There were no classes last week, and the school may not reopen until Wednesday.
Garrard helped awaken the Pirates in the second half, completing 20 of 27 passes for 222 yards.
"I really wanted to get a win to go home with because I knew it's going to be a lot of troubles ... when we get back there,"
Garrard said. "This will help build us a little bit and the guys will be a little more happy going back home."
Miami (2.2) led 23-3 following Andy Crostland's 47-yard field goal with 12:13 left in the third quarter. That's when East Carolina took control.

plying on the gap Kevin Miller added a 39-yard field goal with 9:30 left to draw the Pirates closer.
East Carolina capped the comeback with a 79-yard, 10-play drive that ended a tough week. Kenny Kelly had a first-quarter scoring pass to Reggie Wayne for the Hurricanes, who lost for the second straight week by the same score. It also was the second straight loss to East Carolina in the series.
"I can't even describe. I don't even want to describe it. I don't think I can describe it," Kelly said. "If I was to describe how I feel, the NCAA must fire me."

Monday night games bring crowds to bars
Continued from page 1B
that allows them to play. During the course of the game, actually every play, fans are allowed to punch in what they think is going to happen on that play. If they are correct, they receive points. Each prediction can get more and more complex, thus earning more points.
For example if one was to select "run" and the offensive team runs the ball, then the customer would get points. But if one was to select "pass deep right" and the team did the same, their points would increase dramatically.
The points then translate into prizes that range from T-shirts to inflatable chairs and can be won each Monday night.
"It's like being an arm-chair quarterback," said Mike Stanley, Old Chicago bartender. "It's a fun, interesting and free way to play Monday Night Football."
Jack Flanagan's, 806 W. 24th St., also features the game.
Another reason football fans head out on Monday nights is a chance to view the game on a big screen TV. J.B. Stouts, Old Chicago, Jack Flanagan's and Sports Page Brewery all have big-screen televisions, and Henry T's has one dubbed a "giant screen" that owner Sean Gerrity said can be seen from anywhere in the bar.
"We've got 12 TVs inside including the giant screen," Gerrity said. "That's really attractive to most people."
Along with the big screens most of these bars have numerous other regular-sized televisions spaced around so that those who came to watch the game can watch it wherever they sit.
SUNDAY'S DANCE PARTY
"It's a good atmosphere. There are a lot of TVs, there's lots of good beers and I love watching football," said Jon Ferns, Overland Park sophomore, at J.B. Stouts. "I'll be back every Monday night."

While several students choose to go out and watch their teams, or root against another, there are still those students who would rather watch the game from the comfort of their own home.
"My roommates and I just had a few drinks, relaxed on the couch and rooted against Denver," said Brandon Jaye, Hutchinson senior.
And still there are others who are forced to stay home.
"Well for one, I'm not 21, but also I like being at home so I can get into the game," said Josh Tiegreen, Fort Scott junior.
Either way, whatever draws these students to the games must be working because last Monday night, several area bars were packed.
"It's always busy on Mondays," Gerrity said at Sports Page. "It seems to be a younger crowd for Monday Night Football and the natural rivalry games usually draw the best."
If that's true then students may want to head out a little early tonight, because tonight's game between San Francisco and Arizona, which features the alleged second coming of Joe Montana, Arizona quarterback Jake Plummer, who is playing against Montana's old team, the 49ers, sure sounds like a natural rivalry.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Anyone from the Detroit Lions trying to talk Barry Sanders out of retirement should hide this game film from him.
Kansas City defense won't crack
The Associated Press
Detroit's patchwork offensive line spent much of the day getting whipped by Kansas City's defense as the Chiefs seized a 24-7 lead en route to a 31-21 victory yesterday that kept the Lions from their first 3-0 start since 1980.
"We played well. We played with a lot of emotion," said defensive lineman Ty Parten, whose hit on quarterback Charlie Batch caused an interception that led to Kansas City's last touchdown. "The defensive line played together as a unit and really got on the ball."
For the first time, the Lions (2.1) appeared to miss their superstar running back, who unexpectedly retreated at the beginning of training camp.
In their first six possessions, the Lions were sacked three times, had a pass batted down, were penalized twice

perimeter and punted five times. The Detroit offense seemed to come to life on a few big plays that led to its three touchdowns.
"We came in here anticipating they would put pressure on us, and that's what
they did," Batch said. "It really was up to us to go out there and make it happen, and we didn't do it."
Elvis Grhac threw two touchdown passes as the Chiefs (2,1), who were down to their third-team halfback throughout the second half, won their second in a row and got touchdowns from four different players.
"I think everybody is getting comfortable," said wide receiver Joe Horn, whose diving finger计配 of C grabac's 25-yard scoring pass put the Chiefs on top 24-7 with 5.00 left in the third. "We know we are capable of doing anything we set out to do."
With two new starters on the offensive line, Batch was sacked four times, intercepted twice and had two passes batted away.
Falcons nosedive to 0-3 after 35-7 loss to Rams
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIIS — The reigning NFC champions fell to 0-3 yesterday with an embarrassing 35-7 loss to the St. Louis Rams, who have not had a win record this decade. Quarterback Kurt Warner produced touchdowns
on the first four St. Louis drives and ran for a fifth score in the second half.
lost quarterback Chris Chandler, who reinjured the right hamstring that kept him out of last Monday night's loss at Dallas. Chandler, who was 5-for 9 for 28 yards and an interception, was injured late in the first half without contact while scrambling.
The Rams (2-0) have lost 39 games in the 1990s, but they caught the Falcons at the perfect time; coming off a bye against a team with beat-up skill players coming off a short work

threw touchdown passes of 38 yards to rookie Torry Holt, 46 yards to Isaac Bruce and 17 yards to Marshall Faulk as the Rams took
a 28-0 halftime lead against an Atlanta defense directed by former Rams coach Rich Brooks.
After Atlanta opened the second half with a 12-play drive capped by a 1-yard pass from Tony Graziani to Brian Kozlowski, Warner answered with a nine-play, 72-yard scoring drive. Warner capped the drive with a 5-yard quarterback draw for a 35-7 lead.
Ravens overtake former namesake Cleveland Browns
BALTIMORE — For one of the few times since his move from Cleveland, Art Modell celebrated a significant victory.
Stoney Case scored two touchdowns in his first start at quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, and the team formerly known as the Cleveland Browns beat the expansion version 17-10 yesterday.
The Browns (0-3) hoped to provide the city of Cleveland a measure of revenge against Modell, who moved the franchise to Baltimore after the 1995 season.
1999 season.
Instead, Modell watched Baltimore record its first victory under coach Brian Billick. The Ravens were 16-33 since the move and have yet to enjoy a winning season, but this game was important to Modell and his struggling franchise.
"That's great for Art. This is pretty big for him," said Raven Limebacker Poulte Woula, who had two sacks. "It's good to get a win, especially against Cleveland, and I'm proud of that."
against Coventry. The Ravens (1-2) held rookie Tim Couch to 37 yards passing through three quarters and overcame three interceptions by Case, who was more of a threat on the ground than through the air — he ran 11 times for 57 yards.

Softball team sweeps tournament

The Kansas softball team came up big at its only home series of the fall season, winning all six games of the tournament.
"I expected us to sweep," coach Tracy Bunge said. "No one comes into our house and beats us."
The Jayhawks blanked Pittsburg State, 3-0, yesterday sweeping weekend tournament.
Pitcher Kelly Campbell shook off a rough 4-8 win against Johnson County Community College on Saturday, and won again against the Gorillas yesterday, giving up only three hits and pitching a complete game.
"I wasn't mentally focused on Saturday," Campbell said. "Today I had a good warmup, and my change-up was working. That's a big pitch for me right now."
Campbell said the team did a good job backing her up in the field.
(saturday) I felt like I had to strike everyone out, and do everything myself," Campbell said. "Today I relied on the team. It feels good to go to a full game, because I know if have a bad injury. I know I have everyone helping behind me."
Kansas got on the board early against Pittsburg State, with three consecutive singles in the first inning. Christy McPhail drove in
Shelly Musser, who scored the first run. In the fourth inning, Heather Sims and Katie Malone scored on sacrifice flies from Amy Hulse and Musser, respectively. First baseman Shannon Stanwick was injured on a play in the sixth inning, and taken to the hospital. The extent of her injury will not be known until later today.
The Jayhawks won two games against Butler County Community College on Friday, 3-1 and 1-0. They defeated Johnson County Community College 4-3 and Central Missouri State 3-0 on Saturday.
Kansas finished the weekend with a 5-2 win against Central Missouri State and 3-0 shutout of Pittsburgh State on Sunday. The Jayhawks are 7-2 in fall play this season.
Senior Sarah Clopton allowed only one run in her two starts. She pitched in the first game against Butler County and against Central Missouri State on Saturday.
"I continue to improve every weekend," Clopton said. "I did some good things with my change-up and eve-ball."
Bunge said although improvements have been made, the team still had a lot to learn.
"This time of year, you try to learn not to make the same mistake again." Bunge said. "I noticed we were making some of the same mistakes we did last weekend. I still haven't gotten what I want from the hitters, but the kids continue to learn; they're still young."
Bunge said she was impressed with the team's start against Pittsburg State.
"I liked the way we came out in the last game," Bunge said. "We did a good job early, but we weren't able to maintain that intensity for the full seven innings. I tell the team that championship plays at that level all the time."
The team has taken great strides in its hitting game, Bunge said.
"The kids are doing a better job with plate discipline." Bunge said. "They're not as anxious to pull the ball; they hit it the other way, and to center. Things are starting to click."
The weekend sweep was performed in front of many of the players' parents.
it's as big of a family I've ever been a part of," Bunge said. "I enjoy watching the parents get to know the younger kids. We are on the same page, from the parents to the kids to the coaching staff. It's a lot of fun, and it continues to get better."

Tennis doubles teams test the competition
Brent Briggeman
Kansan Sportswriter
The Kansas women's tennis team wanted to use the season's first tournament to measure how they stacked up against other schools.
The women started the weekend by winning four of five doubles matches.
They now have an idea after the Indiana University Fall Invitational.
Leading the way in the doubles draw was the team of Brooke Chiller and Julia Sidorova. The seniors defeated teams from Marquette and Ball State advancing to the semifinals in the first flight.
Yesterday they moved through Western Michigan advancing to the
finals. In the finals they dropped a close match to Notre Dame 9-8 and took the runner-up spot.
Kansas' other first flight doubles team of Cheryl Malliaiah and Tiffany Chang won its first match but was defeated by a team from Indiana in the quarterfinals.
In singles competition, senior Brooke Chiller, Kansas's No.1 player, dropped two of three matches.
The women received strong performances from Julia Sidorova and Christi Wagenaar in singles play. Both posted perfect records on the weekend and took home titles. Sidorova won the fifth flight while Wagenaar won flight seven.
Other noteworthy performances came from Cheryl Mallaiah, Monica Sekulov, Tiffany Chang and Lisa Mallaiah. All

weekend meets.
The doubles team of Ed Dus and Rodrigo Echagarray traveled to Baltimore, where it competed in the T. Rowe Price Clay Championships.

The matches were the first of the season for Dus and Echagaray, and a rare chance to test their skills on clay courts.

The T. Rowe Price National Clay Court Championships was the first leg of the
The rest of the Kansas men's team spent the weekend competing in the Middle Tennessee Fall Classic.
Stroer defeated fellow Kansas freshman Sebastian Lebertino winning the title. Lebertino's seven-match winning ended earlier in the tournament.
Freshman Peter Stroer won the flightthree singles championship. Stroer ran his record to 7-1 after two collegiate tournaments.

Rower prepares at Olympic camp
By Shawn Linenberger sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Part of Kansas rower Tara Allsop's preparation for the Jayhawks' first race on Oct. 2 was her summer vacation.
Allsop was one of only 10 freshmen in the United States invited to the Olympic freshman training camp at the ARCO Olympic Training Center in San Diego.
Training sessions at the monthlong camp usually lasted more than 10 hours each day. Allsop said she was at the center from 8 a.m. until 6:30 p.m., with breaks for meals.
"We ate, then rowed, ate, rowed, ate, then slept," she said.
Although the camp was physically and mentally demanding, Allsop said the training program had its perks.
"The food at the training center was so good and healthy," Allsop said. "We had to stay at a Navy base a few miles from the center. It was so nice. We had our own rooms with La-Z-Boys and couches."
Rowers were invited based on highest scores registered on an ergometer, a rowing machine that tests power output. Rowers had to be more than 6 feet tall.
U. S. rowing coach Hartmut Buschbacher and his assistant coaches ran the camp, and the Olympic team rowed with the camp members.
PETER LOWREN
"They were so fast," Allsop said about the Olympic rowers. "It was amazing."
The freshmen also ran on the training center's indoor track, and on cross country over hills in Mexico. Allsop said that running on the same track as Olympic athletes was an awesome experience. She added that some people in Mexico gave the freshmen interesting looks because of their height.
The freshmen camp was the first step for possible future Olympic rowers. The

next step is the pre-elite camp, which usually involves the sophomores through seniors with the top 30 ergometer scores. Above that is the elite group, which consists of the U.S. Olympic rowing team. The elite group trains year-round.
"It gives them a look at how the Olympic team works." Catloth said. "These are possible members of the 2004 (Olympic) team. This gives them exposure at a young age."
Along with her chances to be an Olympian, Allsop's skills have improved.
"The experience has already helped me," Allsop said. "I've noticed a big difference in practice."
Catloth has noticed some change as well.
"It's helped in making some technical changes from last year in her style of rowing." Catloth said.
Other camp members were from Yale, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame and California-Berkley. Kansas State rower Josie McClellan also was invited.

Rookie quarterback throws Jayhawk defense for a loop
By Michael Rigg sports@kanson.com
Kansas sportwriter
He left a hero
San Diego State quarterback Jack Hawley entered Saturday's game against Kansas as a relatively unheard of junior college transfer who threw four interceptions in his last game.
Hawley, making only his second start for the Aztecs, torched the Jayhawks defense for 331 yards and three touchdowns, and in the process he became the third in a line of athletic quarterbacks Kansas has struggled with in 1999.
Hawley's performance, not to mention the 41-13 final score, left the Jayhawks shell-shocked.
"We were totally surprised." defensive
lineman Justin Sands said. "Hawley's a good ball player, but you never expect anyone to do that to you."
Hawley put on a show in the second quarter. Early in the period, he narrowly avoided the Jayhawk rush and fired to wide receiver Sean Pierce for a 22-yard touchdown. On the Aztecs' next drive, Hawley completed a strike to wide receiver Derrick Lewis for a 62-yard score and the rout was on. The Aztecs led 31-0 at the half.
Jayhawks coach Terry Allen said that Hawley's second quarter performance turned the game upside down.
"San Diego State came in here and did some great things with the football. Hawley came out and was very accurate," Allen said.
Hawley's performance is the latest in
what is becoming a disturbing pattern for the Jayhawks. They have been torched by mobile quarterbacks early and often in the team's 1-3 start.
In the season opener, Notre Dame quarterback Jarius Jackson's dangerous run-or-pass style of play led the Irish to a 48-13 win and 452 yards of total offense. Last week against Colorado, the Buffaloes' Mike Moscetti lit up the Jayhawks for 216 yards before leaving the game because of an injury shortly before halftime in a 51-17 Colorado victory. This week, Kansas thought it would be a different story with the inexperienced and relatively unknown Hawley, but it was not to be.
"We didn't think he would be able to do that," Allen said after the defeat.
Four Aztecs had more than 30 yards
receiving on the night, and running back Jonas Lewis ran wild on the Kansas defense, as he accumulated 103 yards and 7.4 yards per rush.
Sands said the Jayhawk defense must improve in every aspect for this season to evolve into a successful one.
"We need to improve on everything." Sands said. "They heat us in every way."
In their three losses, the Jayhawks have surrendered nearly 48 points per game.
Despite the earlier setbacks, Allen's defensive philosophy against the Aztecs was simple: have the Jayhawk defensive backs play off the Aztec receivers in a zone defense, and let Hawley try to beat Kansas with pinpoint short passes. However, after Hawley's second quarter performance, Allen scrapped the original plan and switched to man-on-man coverage and a more aggressive style up front.
The switch had limited success, as the Jayhawks limited San Diego State to 13 points in the second half. However, Allen said the defense's performance on Saturday night had more to do with motivation and less to do with effort.
"We had some guys that looked like they were just sitting there flat-footed," Allen said. "Quite very well, they might have been. Emotions are such an important part of things. I've screamed and ranted and raved enough."
Lomax agreed.
"We just need to play a little bit harder defensively," Lomax said. "We need to find a way to get going on the front seven and get pressure. We have a lot of things to work on, and we need to find a way to get us motivated."

Student Senate hopes fund raising will replace fee
By Chris Borniger
Kansan staff writer
Depending on how Chancellor Robert Hemenway's chooses his priorities, a new campus recreation center approved through a student referendum last spring could cost students a lot less.
If the upcoming Capital Campaign raises enough money, a $49 fee increase to fund the recreation center might not be implemented, said David Ambler, vice chancellor of student affairs.
"We could forget about taxing students," he said.
Student Senate's Capital Campaign Task Force submitted a list of the student body's wishes to administrators last week. The report included proposals for more scholarships, fellowships and improvements to buildings and student life.
The campaign is a major fund-raising drive that is expected to continue for four years. Senate's wish list is only one of many sent to the administration, including those from academic departments and schools.
The last fund-raising campaign, which was from 1988 to 1992, raised $265.3 million.
Ambler said the chancellor would prioritize projects that benefited a majority of people at the University.
Student Body President Korb Maxwell, the task force's chairman, said the upcoming campaign had great potential to benefit the University.
"Some things will get funded," he said.
"Some things won't."
"It's getting big," he said. "We have the chance to get money outside of the University and plan for the long term. We're trying to take a proactive step to do that."
The task force recommended that the University use $1 million from the campaign to create an endowed lecture series that would bring top-tier international and national speakers to the University. Moreover, the task force proposed using funds to help pay for the new recreation center, which students approved by referendum last spring, and to build bus shelters and a science lab building solely for undergraduate use.
underge-
Senate also could authorize allocating money from its reserve account to the University. Nonetheless, Maxwell said, the University should first look to the Endowment Association, and not to students.

The following are projects the Student Senate Capital Campaign Task Force recommended that University administrators include in the campaign:
Campus Life:
Endowed lecture series
Campus recycling
Community service center
University information center Scholarships
Service scholarships
Service scholarships
Minority and international scholarships
Alternative break program

Graduate Student Support:
- First-year doctoral student fellowships
- Disposition fellowships
- Distinguished graduate teaching assistant positions
positions
Faculty Teaching and Research Supports
Ministry faculty recruits
Distinguished professorships
International curricular development
“There are a lot of things students already put money into,” he said. “We want to leverage some of that. Students are not the answer to the funding crises of the University.”
Aravind Muthukrishnan, Finance Committee chairman, said any expenditure from Senate's reserve account must warrant a worthy cause.
"I don't have any reservations about spending it, I just don't want it to be for frivolous things," he said. "Students shouldn't expect to have things handed to them. I just want to make sure students are involved in the process."
John Scarfe, director of communications for the Kansas University Endowment Association, said student involvement in fund-raising campaigns was rare.
occasionally, students rally around a cause and raise funds for their school or a competition," he said.
Still, Scarfe said administrators would take student concerns into consideration.
"The chancellor will have to work with students just like he would have to work with faculty members," he said.

several plants and algae grow on the edges of Potter Lake because of a building of silt and dissolved nutrients. Potter Lake has been declared
Algae growing in Potter Lake may be harmful for fish, pets
By Mindie Miller
Special to the Kansan
The lake, located just west of the Campanile, was one of approximately 120 bodies of water in the Kansas-lower Republican basin, the area of the Kansas River that Potter Lake is located in, to be classified by the state in June as impaired.
Potter Lake has made the list. But this is not good news.
Shari Stamer, City of Lawrence water quality manager, said impairment of a lake referred to whether its designated uses were being fully supported.
"Water quality monitoring assesses the level of pollutants present in the water against the applicable standards," she said. "If such assessment shows consistent non-achievement of the standards, the water is deemed water quality impaired relative to its designated use."
Stamer said Potter Lake made the list because it was eutrophic. Eutrophication occurs when dissolved nutrients saturate water, often causing undesirable plant growth and dissolved oxygen depletion. Eutrophication can lower water clarity and cause the proliferation of nuisance organisms, such as certain species of
algae.
Tom Stiles, chief of planning and prevention for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said if these toxins were present, they could cause illness in dogs that drank from the lake.
algae.
Stamer said one such group, blue-green algae, could produce odors and metabolic toxins that could be harmful to organisms both on land and in the water.
Despite the possible presence of these algae, Kris D'Atri, Canton, Ohio, graduate student, said she would continue to bring her 5-year-old dog, Kiymi, to the lake. She said she and other dog owners frequently talked about the water quality at Potter Lake.
"We wonder about it," D'Arri said.
"The consensus is that it's okay."
Dogs aren't the only animals that could be affected by the lake's eutrophic condition. The problem also hurts the lake's fish.
Stiles said the lake's fish may be somewhat stunted, but they would not hurt humans if eaten.
He said cleaning up Potter Lake was a low priority for the state because it was not a source of drinking water, and it was within the University of Kansas' jurisdiction. He said campus officials
controlled the assessment and treatment of water quality issues at the lake
"The grounds people could evaluate how they're putting fertilizer in the areas that are draining into the lake." Stiles said. "Reducing that could go a long way in dropping the productivity of the lake."
Mike Russell, director of the department of environment health and safety at the University, said he did not think there was any excessive fertilization in that area. He said eutrophication was a natural process that was part of the evolution of a body of water.
"Being a storm water retention pond, and being there for so long, it's probably got a lot of silt in it and that shallows out the water," Russell said. "That allows plants to grow around the edges. There's not a lot you can do about that."
He said he was surprised Potter Lake ever made it on to the impaired list.
Stamer said private ponds were not included on the list and that although Potter Lake was a low priority, officials on campus would eventually have to address the impairment of the lake.
"My contention is that there are thousands of ponds across the state, and they're not on that list," Russell said.

Hemenway defends seal with vigor
By Clay McCuistion
Kansan staff writer
The University seal has been challenged, and the chancellor has answered.
The KU chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union received a response from Chancellor Robert Hemenway yesterday defending the University of Kansas seal.
— which shows Moses kneeling before the burning bush, surrounded by a Bible verse in Latin — was appropriate in the context of a public University.
KU ACLU had questioned whether the seal
The chancellor, in emphatic terms, wrote that the seal was indeed appropriate.
"I view the seal of the University as one of its valuable assets, one that has served the University well for over 120 years." Hemenway wrote. "I will not hesitate to defend fully the continued use of the seal."
The chancellor's letter also included a brief history of the seal and cited court cases, concluding "Even if an observer of the University of Kansas seal recognized the depiction of Moses before a burning bush, and even if the observer can translate the Latin phrase, that observer, aware of the purpose, context and history of the development of the seal could not reasonably consider its use to be an endorsement of religion."
Kevin Simvits, president of KU ACLU, and Buddy Lloyd, its media director, signed a Sept. 9 letter to the chancellor questioning the seal. They received the reply at 11 a.m., yesterday.
"The nature of the response; the
totally expected they said. "We appreciate the dialogue."
He said KU ACLU was now working closely with the Kansas-Western Missouri affiliate of the group. The University chapter was under the affiliate's jurisdiction, and any decide about possible
action would come from the affiliate.

"At this point, it will be primarily in their hands, if they want to take it on." Sivils said.
He said the group's next step would be to write another letter, citing court cases which supported the contention that the seal inappropriately used religious symbols. The letter would be composed in collaboration
with the Kansas-Western Missouri affiliate.
"When we respond,we definitely have to do more research than just asking a question." Lloyd said.
Sivits said he was glad the University responded to ACLU's letter.
"We appreciate the University's response and the fact they're taking this issue seriously" Sivits said.
Lloyd agreed.
"We have absolutely no vendetta against the administration. We are simply pursuing a legitimate concern," he said.
Dick Kurtenbach, executive director of the Kansas-Western Missouri ACLU affiliate, said the group closely followed the KU chapter.
"We are intimately involved in matters that they get involved in," he said.
Kurtenbach was unwilling to speculate how the investigation into the seal would proceed.
"It's really too early to say, to speculate how it may develop," he said.
What will KU ACLU do next?
What will KU ACLU do next?
"Only time will tell." Lloyd said

Retired foreign officer to lecture on East Timor
A retired foreign service officer will relay some of his extensive experience in Southeast Asia when he speaks from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. tomorrow at the English Room in the Kansas Union.
David Lambertson, former United States ambassador to Thailand, will discuss the situation in East Timor
how it evolved and what it means
Lambertson said he hoped to shed some light on the serious and complicated issues in East Timor.
In a lecture titled, "East Timor and its Various Ramifications." Lambertson, who is currently director of international development for the University of Kansas, was stationed at the American embassy in Medan, Indonesia, more than 30 years ago, before East Timor was annexed.
The program is sponsored by the Center for East Asian Studies.
Michael Breen, office specialist for the center, said the center was glad Lambertson would speak.
"He has a good deal of expertise in the area," he said.
The event is free and open to all students, faculty and staff.

Debate team places first at tournament
They have a way with words. The KU Debate Team took first place out of 29 teams last weekend at the regional Sunflower Classic Debate Tournament at Johnson County Community College in Overland Park.
David Magarell, Overland Park senior; R.J. Melman, Chicago junior; Seth Wood, Overland Park sophomore; and Justin Tinsley, Little Rock, Ark., freshman, were the winners.
The four students, divided into two teams, participated in 10 debates that lasted two hours each. The team won nine out of the 10 debates Friday through Sunday.
Scott Harris, KU Debate coach, said he was happy with the team's success.
"It's a very exciting way to begin the season," Harris said. "We have a very experienced team. We had higher expectations for this year because we have a good senior class and good freshman who should set the stage for the future."
The topic of the debates was whether the United States should constructively engage and enlist sanctions against Iraq, Iran, Syria, North Korea and Cuba.

WICHITA—Several homes in Sedgwick County were evacuated today as near-record rainfall swamped creeks and low-lying areas of south-central Kansas.
Homes in Maize and Clearwater were evacuated, and several roads were closed around Wichita after more than 7 inches of rain fell late Sunday and early today.

As of 5 a.m., the National Weather Service's rainfall total since Sunday evening stood at 7.46 inches. The 24-hour rainfall record in Wichita is 7.99 inches, set September 6-7, 1911.

Saturday Night Live reunion performs well
NEW YORK—The ratings were mavelous for the Saturday Night Live 25th anniversary special, with an estimated 22.4 million people watching the reunion of comic actors.
NATION
Sunday's three-hour program was the highest-rated entertainment special since the Academy Awards in March, Nielsen Media Research said Monday.
The comedy special opened with Bill Murray, in his lounge guise, belting out Bruce Springsteen's "Badlands," among others. Billy Crystal resurrected his Fernando talk-show character with the famous line, "You look mah-velous."

Abortion still does not have Pope's blessing
VATICAN CITY — Responding to a U.N. official's statement that the Vatican had conceded defeat on reproductive issues, a spokesman reiterated the Church's opposition to abortion and the morning-after pill.
The U.N. Population Fund's director, Nafis Sadik, said that the Vatican had accepted that the international community had accepted that family planning was one of the human rights of women.
"They believe the debate has been lost," Saidik in London as she presented her agency's yearly report on world population.
Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls issued a two-page statement Monday insisting that the Holy See has not changed at all its well-noted position, reiterating its opposition to abortion and use of the morning-after pill, which it considers to be abortive.
Sadik and Vatican officials have clashed in the past in the debate of family-planning methods.

Fireworks cause blasts in Mexico
The Associated Press
CELAYA, Mexico—The security guard had just dragged two women from the wreckage of a mammoth fireworks explosion when a second blast catapulted him onto the asphalt 20 feet away.
The series of explosions — at least three — tore through a busy area of street stalls and shops near a downtown bus station in this central industrial town late Sunday, killing at least 56 people and injuring 348 — many of them rescuers who rushed to help the victims.
The blast was thought to have started in the back of a candy store where fireworks were sold, then more explosions were set off, possibly from gas tanks in nearby restaurants, or other fireworks stashes.
Soldiers sealed off a large area of Celaya's downtown as they searched for more bodies. Officials said they were digging cautiously
for fear of setting off unexploded powder.
Officials said the dead included a policeman, two Red Cross workers, two firemen and a photographer for a local newspaper.
Some buildings had their fronts blown off. The streets were piled with debris and bodies.
Electricity was cut to the city center, and gasoline sales were halted at several stations, local reporters said.

State budget cut reduces funding to the University
By Clay McCuistion writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The effects of the 1 percent budget cut proposed by Gov. Bill Graves last week continue to reverberate around the state and the University of Kansas campus.
At the University, $2 million must be sliced from this year's spending, requiring a partial hiring freeze. Overall, $44.3 million will be cut from state agencies.
Mike Matson, Graves' press secretary, said the problem was simple: not enough money.
"It is the governor's response to an ongoing shortfall of revenues," he said. "By providing this direction now, he is giving managers much more flexibility in charting their own budget course over the next year-and-a-half."
Matson said several years of tax cuts and spending increases had left state government with less tax money than projected.
money that projects. "It's a result of the legislature and governor agreeing on policies that led to significant tax relief," he said. "This is the governor's method of prudent financial management."
Burdett Loomis, professor of political science, said Graves' spending cuts had to do with position for the upcoming legislative session.
"it takes any idea of tax cuts off the table," he said.
"This could ratchet it up a little bit more, particularly if revenues keep dropping," he said. "It becomes more and more a political issue."
Loomis said that while lowering spending was prudent, it was not necessarily beneficial.
"Long-term, these things are not very good for institutions," he said. "It causes some disruptions."
Lindy Eakin, associate provost for
support services, said more disruptions might be in store. The 2001 fiscal year holds the possibility of a 6 percent budget cut for the University.
"Some form of budget reduction is certainly a much greater prospect than it would have been last spring." Eakin said.
The University has proposed three tentative budgets: one which continues current services at current funding levels, another that increases funding and a third that slashes spending by 6 percent.
"The real indication will be when the governor proposes his budget in January," he said. "That's the real signal of what the governor thinks the situation will be in the next fiscal year."
Eakin emphasized that the situation was still flexible.
car year.
Barbara Ballard, assistant vice chancellor for student affairs and four-term member of the House of Representatives, voted for this year's state budget. She said the cut was necessary.
"I don't know if it really could have been avoided," Ballard said. "If you can't give an increase when the economy is good, when can you give it?"
Ballard said she suspected that the legislature would have to cut spending for the upcoming fiscal year.
we have to be careful what we're cutting," she said. "That in itself causes a lot of anxiety."
Barbara Conant, communications director for the Board of Regents, said the board had to cut $6.5 million overall.
"It causes us to cinch our belt a little bit more," Conant said.
Power loss sends students from libraries
Edited by Ronnie Wachter
It was a dark and stormy night. And that was the best explanation why seven libraries on campus had computer problems yesterday.

Sunday night's storm most likely

at Anschutz began working on the problem as soon as it was discovered Monday morning.
Busset was helping reference librarians manage the resulting problems at Watson Library Monday morning. Because public work stations in the Watson reference department were connected to the affected server, users were having problems accessing library databases.
"There was no simple pattern to the access problem." Busset said. "There was no simple way to tell people what they could and could not access. It was almost random

ers weren't printing.
"We had someone go out and tape
signs on all the machines advising that the printers weren't working," he said.
Bullington said he advised users to try printing their material at the Computer Center.
Half of the work stations were shut down around 10 a.m. to enable the reference staff to help patrons with the database access problems, Bullington said. The random nature of the access problems caused users

"Unfortunately, in a networked environment, this sort of thing happens," be said. "We're not Microsoft with all its resources and money.
We hope people will be patient with us."
Stephen Wilde, Overland Park graduate student, said although he had problems printing, he had no trouble gaining access to databases.
"I was working on an assignment for LAAS 700, a research course," he said. "I just couldn't print any records off. I rebooted, switched machines, even pulled up the the
printer file."
Wilde took Bullington's advice and went to the Computer Center, where he was able to print his material.
Channette Kirby, library assistant in Watson's reference department, said that the library was packed when half of the work stations were shut down.
"We had people at almost every machine," she said.
Kirby said that despite occasional computer glitches, she didn't miss the alternative card catalog.
"We always had our own flascos with the card catalog and the access was much more limited compared to now," she said. "You could only have one user at a drawer at a time," she said.
The database access problems were fixed and the work stations turned back on by noon, Busset said. Only one of the two laser printers, however, was working by late yesterday evening in the Watson reference department.
Kirby said she had been joking with patrons that the library was in training for the year 2000.
Business students to have global interaction
Edited by Matt James
KU, Russian classes exchange e-mails, stereotypical views
By Stacey Taylor Special to the Kansan
Russian business students think Americans are crazy about money and have a superiority complex.
American business students think that Russians wear funny furry hats and like to drink vodka. American students think
Both agree that Americans are not good at geography and different languages, and that Russians are poor and have a failing government.
These were the responses when Hans Hansen, graduate teaching assistant in the University of Kansas School of Business, and Anna Nabrukhima, who teaches at the University of Economics
and Finance in St. Petersburg, Russia, recently asked their students to make a list of their thoughts about Americans and Russians.
Russians. Each group was unaware that its lists would be e-mailed to the other group. This allowed students to compose less inhibited lists.
The lesson to be learned: stereotypes work both ways.
Hansen said the University and its faculty were still too ethnocentric in their educational approach.
The student groups have yet to read the list written by their international counterparts. Hansen said he thought that when they were able to read the lists, the students would realize how much each country depended on the other, and that their stereotypes would change after reading the other groups' lists.
"We have a responsibility to
either educate students about the broader world, or to refund their tuition." Hansen said.
Hansen said the e-mail exchange would be a good opportunity for students to learn about another culture.
He said 90 percent of his students' worlds consist of Lawrence, and their worldviews might stretch as far as St. Louis during the summer.
"I'd like to broaden their horizons, increase their cultural awareness," Hansen said.
When attempting to complete the exercise, Chris Chambers, Overland Park senior, said he and his group thought the Russians were very similar to Americans. He said he didn't think he held a stereotype, and he now saw Russians a lot differently than the way he saw them during the Cold War.
Hansen said he did not seek out
opportunities to increase his cultural awareness as an undergraduate, so he now encouraged his students to take time to consider all educational possibilities.
"KU does a good job of providing these opportunities," he said. "I encourage students to seek those."
encourage students to seek those." Darcie Eddy, Salina junior, said opportunities like these and study abroad programs could be an important part of a business education.
"It opens up your interest and impressions of the way other countries run business in general," she said.
Hansen said that he hoped, at the very least, that both sets of students would learn something about themselves and each other.
"It is a very unique opportunity and I think the Russians and Americans will benefit volumes," he said.

Sugar Town pales next to Sundance Festival competition, but doesn't bomb
Lesser actors shine, but generic dialogue no Blair Witch Project
By Stephanie Sapienza
Kansan movie critic
When I went to go see a screening of the new Allison Anders/Kurt Voss company Sugar Town last week. I was pretty excited. It was a centerpiece film in the 1999 Sundance Film Festival, which puts out some of the most ingenious and creative independent films ever made.
never have to eat ramen again.
Don't get me wrong, the film was very good. But if I had a dollar for every ensemble-comedy about-depraved-souls-searching-for-love-and-stardom-in-LA, I'd
This year alone, Sugar Town was among the ranks of The Blair Witch Project, Cookie's Fortune, Go, and Run Lola Run. Maybe it was just that Sugar Town pailed in comparison to these, but I didn't see too much in this comedy that made it Sundance-worthy.
The story weaves in and out of the lives of 11 (yes, 11) people in various stages of stardom. Gwen (Jade Gordon) is a subtly manipulative aspiring singer in her early twenties. She is recommended as a housekeeper/companion by Eva (Rosanna Arquette), a b-movie actress, to Liz (Ally Sheedy.)
Eva is married to Cliff (John Taylor of Duran Duran fame), one of four members of a band of hasbeen musicians trying to get a record deal through Burt, their producer (also a has-been).
Commentary
Burt's only lead is a snooty and condescending rich widow (Beverly D'Angelo), will give the band a start if one of the band members (a David Bowie/Sting cross) will sleep with her. The problem is, he only sleeps with teenage girls.
The cast of non-stars is one of the movie's assets. Personally, I prefer watching movies when I can watch an actor without thinking about the fact that he was on the cover of The Globe for soliciting sex from an undercover
midget dominatrix.
midget comma mark:
Actresses like D'Angelo,
Arquette, and Sheedy are not on the A-list but are just fresh enough from smaller movies and roles to give the film some credibility.
Sheedy, following up her success in the indie High Art, is wonderful as a pasty-faced, healthfood eating, make-up free production designer who is perpetually dateless. The younger and sexier Gwen is wonderful at making Liz feel better about herself, while stealing her potential boyfriends and her jewelry.
AUGUST 1967
Cliff and Eva inherit a boy — an eyeliner-wearing Marilyn Manson byproduct, no less — who one of Cliff's old groupies claims is his son. These sequences are really well-done, with the boy, Nirvan, giving Cliff pointers on his band (the demo title, "Gravy-Stained Girl," has got to go), and Eva and Nirvan bonding happily.
Ally Sheedy and Rosanna Arquette star in the Allison Anders and Kurt Voss film Sugar Town. The film was a centerpiece in the 1999 Sundance Film Festival. Contributed art.
The stories all come to a happy wrap-up ending, which leaves the
audiences wondering if this is an indie film or a Hollywood film. Overall, I left the theater pleasantly entertained. Maybe that's not so bad — it's like sipping soda when you think it's lemonade
it's just not what I expected from a Sundance film.

Microsoft founder opens the gates of opportunity to minority students
Greed and envy are words often associated with Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft Inc., by those who criticize his dominance of the computer and technology market. Others admire his brilliance in accumulating nearly $90 billion in net worth. Regardless of public opinion regarding Gates, most people agree that he is an insightful leader.
It is refreshing to see that in the current era of big profit in business, individuals are willing to step out of the mold to help others. Bill and Melinda Gates' recent donation of $1 billion for the benefit of minority students is not only important for the financial needs of future leaders, but it is also an important challenge to other foundations, corporations and the government.
Billion-dollar donation will help minority students
It is obvious that one of the main struggles for all college students is money. This is especially true for minority students who come from a low socioeconomic background. The Gates' scholarship fund will invest $50 million per year for the next 20 years in minorities seeking education in applied technologies and computer sciences. While these Millennium Scholarships will improve opportunities for minority students, they are by no means a
cure for the widespread disadvantages many college students face.
Every year billions of dollars are given out to graduating high school seniors and college undergraduates. But how will the future of the United States benefit if countless others slip through the cracks because they do not have access to major scholarships such as the Millennium Scholars Program? Bill Gates realizes from his success that the leaders of tomorrow will need a quality education to excel. More political and business leaders need to follow Gates' example and expand the horizons of not only minority students but also the average college-bound American.

Disabilities act shouldn't be abused
Individuals who have real disabilities and need assistance in everyday tasks, such as parking and entering buildings, also need distinct laws to protect and distinguish them. The Americans with Disabilities Act, federal legislation that makes it illegal for any public entity to discriminate in the provision of services and privileges, protects individuals with debilitating handicaps.
The Disabilities Act, ordinarily used for good intentions, is at the risk of being redefined. An Illinois high school senior is trying to use the Disabilities Act to protect his claimed disability of being an admitted alcoholic.
Seventeen-year-old Rickey Higgens was kicked off the Warren Township High School basketball team after the school found him ineligible to play in
Abuses could hurt the ADA's effectiveness in helping people with disabilities
the upcoming season for two alcohol-related offenses. Higgens filed a lawsuit against Warren Township High School, seeking $100,000 in damages and reinstatement to the team.
Higgens claims in the pending lawsuit that his rights have been violated under the Disabilities Act and that the school, a public entity, has discriminated against his impairment. The school argues that it has the right to set reasonable standards of conduct for its athletes. Attorneys from both sides, while not
agreeing on all the facts, agree this case could redefine the function of the Disabilities Act. If redefined, alcoholics or long-term drug addicts would be able to find shelter under the laws governed by the act.
The Disabilities Act was established to protect people with real disabilities. If Higgens can be protected for his irresponsible behavior and illegal use of alcohol, then the sky would be the limit for conditions that could be considered disabilities.
A bold, distinct line needs to be drawn between the definition of a legitimate disability and controllable conditions. Disability legislation has done its designated job thus far. It would be a joke to use its important function as a shield against illegal and often avoidable actions.
Attorneys from both sides, whil

Few Americans realize what Iceland has to offer
ob Hustwit likes Iceland.
And who wouldn't? The tiny nation of 275,000 boasts the world's northernmost capital, the first popularly elected female head of state, more than 200 volcanoes — it even has a nightclub owned by Damon Albarn of the bipop
band Blur. Few Americans realize how much Iceland has to offer.
That's where Hustwit comes in.
1
Hustwit is the owner of the I Like Iceland! Web site (http://soli.com/ili.htm), devoted to spreading the word about iceland. When asked why he developed the site, he responded, "I really like iceland."
Hustwit never has visited Iceland himself.
Mark McMaster columnist
"I have only been to Iceland in my imagination."
opinion@kansan.com
ne writes. "Only in my imagination, and yet Iceland has held my attention for over 40 years. I hope to visit Iceland someday."
As I delved through the information about Iceland on the I Love Iceland! Web site and in other Icelandic resources, I discovered that I, too, like Iceland. There are many reasons to like Iceland, among them:
a. Iceland has the oldest legislative assembly in the world, called the Althing. It first convened about 930.
o. Iceland's population is exceedingly homogeneous. That is why the icelandic government recently negotiated to sell all its genetic records to a biotech firm for scientific study. Most icelanders look a lot alike, which could be confusing, but it sounds kind of cute, too, especially to us Americans who are accustomed to diversity.
c. Icelanders think alike, too, at least as far as their religious beliefs are concerned. Ninety-six percent of the population is loyal to the Evangelical Lutheran Church, the official church of Iceland.
d. Icelandair is the official airline of Iceland.
e. Because Biork is from Iceland, and because
the population is so homogeneous, most of the population is similar to Bjork, which must be an extraordinary phenomenon. Imagine 275,000 Blorks on one island!
f. Speaking of elves, f. many Icelandic citizens believe in them. In fact, this Sunday's New York-Times reported that "in surveys, few Icelanders rule out the existence of elves, dwarfs, trolls, light-fairies, and especially 'hidden folk,' gregarious, human-like creatures that purportedly live in rocks. Often, they go out of their way to route construction projects around the homes of these magical peoples."
magnet po lond g. Iceland has first-rate health care and one of the highest standards of public health in the world.
h. The name Iceland is actually a trick: According to lore, the locals named it that so that continental Europeans would be turned off at the idea of a cold place and Icelanders could have their island all to themselves. Greenland tried the opposite.
1. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, the Icelandic sagas are regarded as one of the finest literary achievements of the Middle Ages. In addition, salmon and trout abound in Iceland's many lakes and rivers.
j. ieland gets most of its television movies from the United States.

Don't let the government hack into personal lives
On any given day, there are anywhere from 20 to 40 million Internet users in the United States alone.
Television took more than 13 years to attract the same number of users that the Internet has in only five. We are experiencing the printing press of the 20th century. The country is changing, and the federal government is worried.
It is worried about this thing called encryption, which allows computer users to encode or scramble their files and communications. The FBI already has tried and failed to require that public
encryption keys be filed with the government. It also tried to implant what are known as "back doors" into computer systems and communications equipment. These back doors would allow the FBI to bypass encryption codes and have clear view into what you're up to on your computer. There even has been an attempt to outlaw encryption entirely.

So what's the big deal? Well, encryption protects your email and computer files from any thief, spy or criminal who
might want to seriously complicate your life. It also protects medical records, corporate trading secrets, legal documents, credit histories and credit card transactions. The Justice Department wants to put an end to encryption because it sees it as a threat to national security. With the advent of hackers breaking into sites such as the FBI, the Justice Department thinks that federal government should have the privilege to eliminate your right to privacy. One of the nation's most high-profile hackers, Eric Burns, also known as Zyklon, is just the kind of 19-year-old who gives federal agents nightmares. He has pleaded guilty to thousands of dollars in damages to more than 80 businesses and has tampered with government affiliated Web sites such as NATO's and the United States Information Agency's. The latter of these antics was simply to
As it stands now, Congress has not weighed in on this issue but will do so in late September. It is your duty to inform yourself and let your representative know how you feel about this bill. The Center for Democracy and Technology (www.cct.org) provides a great resource for doing just that. The CDT even has offered to have a chat session for Kansans to talk to their representatives online, but there needs to be enough local public interest. The Internet is knowledge, and your opinion is what makes the United States. Don't let this decision be made without you.
If the Justice Department has its way, it would be able to virtually break into your home or office and implant recovery devices. These devices would ensure the government's ability to read any encrypted messages that might be on your computer. The bill that would give the department the power to do this is known as the Cyberspace Electronic Security Act (CESA). Although there is a bipartisan movement against the CESA, known as the SAFE act, this issue is escaping the national dialogue. Fewer than half of the presidential nominees have privacy policies on their Web sites, and only one major newspapers I've found has done a recent story on this topic.

Teenage hacker love stories aside, this is not said to downplay the potential danger of cyber trespassing. There are other accounts of hackers wreaking much more havoc then our friend Zyklon.

The worst thing about it is that you wouldn't even know when your privacy has been invaded. If you were suspected of criminal activity, the Justice Department (or some other investigative agency), would be able to obtain a sealed search warrant. This means that all the details of the search and the very existence of the warrant are kept secret.

Americans are desensitized to violence
It is interesting to me to see that the editors are concerned about the apparent American desensitization to violence and concerned about the decision by the Board of Education to deemphasize evolution.
Brett Watson says in his editorial from Friday, September 24, that we as a nation are "pretty far gone if we need a law to enforce: respect for life."
It seems obvious to me that you can't teach children that we all came from nowhere, are responsible to no absolute authority and that morals come from common human understanding that may change from day to day and at the same time be confused about why we've gotten where we are.
The Utopian world where "NO ABSOLUTES" reigns supreme, has come back to haunt us because the standards we have chosen can't prove that any of what is going on is absolutely wrong.
Mike Brisendine Merriam senior
If you teach children that we evolved from animals and then they observe animals practicing social darwinism, then why shouldn't our children think that they should be allowed to operate the same way.

State lawmakers stress vital role of young voters in government
TOPEKA — The relatively low turnout among young voters is troubling because it suggests few adults will participate in politics in the future, Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh said yesterday.
The Associated Press
Thornburgh is hoping to reverse the trend of young people voting in fewer numbers through Kids Voting Kansas, a program designed to get children interested in government.
The program started its annual Capitol Assembly today. About 30 high school students from across the state attended the opening session, during which Thornburgh spoke.
"The problem we're facing today is getting worse by the day." Thornburgh told the students. "When we start having voter turnout of 32 percent or 25 percent, do we really have a democracy?"
Thorntown noted that in 1972, after the U.S. Constitution was amended to decrease the voting age from 21 to 18, half of the eligible 18-year-olds cast ballots. By 1998, the figure had dropped to 32 percent.
"The long-term implications are horrendous," Thornburgh said. "What we see is that voting is a learned habit."
Kids Voting is a national project that starts teaching children in elementary school about politics and government and the importance of participation.
The national Kids Voting organization kicks off its own 200 campaign today with an Internet session with Arizona Sen. John McCain, who's running for the Republican nomination for president.
Lawrence High School will participate in the national session, which is scheduled to begin at 12:15 p.m.
120 p.m. The annual Kansas assembly is designed to teach high school students how to lobby local and state officials and get their peers involved in politics.
Thornhurth noted that elected officials spent a great deal of time worrying about how to get re-elected and where to concentrate their efforts. He told the high school students that officials worried more about older voters because they turned up at the polls in higher percentages than younger voters.
"What we have to do is make young people in Kansas a force in politics," he said.
Pinochet faces extradition to Spain
LONDON—Nearly a year after the arrest of Gen. Augusto Pinochet, a court finally is considering whether to extradite the former Chilean dictator to Spain for trial for alleged human rights abuses.
Former dictator disputes country's jurisdiction rights
A magistrate began considering evidence yesterday in an extradition hearing expected to last five days.
The Associated Press
The 83-year-old general, who was arrested Oct. 16 of last year while recovering from surgery in London, was not expected to attend the proceedings, which will delve only briefly into evidence, instead focusing primarily on extradition law.
primary officer of Deputy Chief Magistrate Ronald Bartle must decide whether the charges against Pinochet are extraditable crimes, whether Spain has jurisdiction and whether the legal paperwork is in order.
Pinochet — still under house arrest southwest of London — has aggressively fought his detention, arguing that only Chilean courts have jurisdiction to try him.
In remarks published Sunday in the Spanish daily *El Pais*, Chilean Foreign Minister Juan Gabriel Valides said the general's lawyers would present all the appeals that are necessary so that Pinochet would not go to Spain.
That means further legal wrangling in a case that already has proved complicated.
case that already had been Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzon, who began the indictment after investigating the alleged killings of Spanish citizens by Pinochet's regime, wanted to try the general on charges of genocide, kidnapping and torture — international crimes, he said, that could be prosecuted anywhere.
But lawyers for Pinochet argued that as a former head of state, he enjoyed immunity.
Britain's House of Lords ruled in March that Britain had the right to consider extradition for Pinochet — but rejected all charges except those of torture and conspiracy to torture after 1988, the year an international law against torture came into effect in Britain.
Garzon has since added dozens of post-1986 torture allegations to bolster his case.
torture injustice. Human rights activists said they were undaunted by the legal setbacks and the threat of further appeals.
"The major legal hurdle to Pinochet's prosecution was overcome when the House of Lords ruled that he has no immunity," said Reed Brody of the New York-based Human
Rights Watch.
But Chile continued to apply political pressure on Spain and England for Pinochet's release, saying his arrest violated the nation's sovereignty and threatened to undermine national reconciliation.
Phillips's 1974 book has been widely used. His supporters have argued for his release on humanitarian grounds, citing his age and failing health.
A Chilean government report acknowledged that 3,197 people died and about a thousand others disappeared during Pinochet's 1973-90 rule.
"Every month for him detained here in England is like a year for a younger person," said Peter Schaad, a friend of Pinochet's.
But Spain and England have so far refused to intervene in the legal process, which won't end even if Bartle allows the extradition.
Pinochet's lawyers can appeal, and after all legal options are exhausted, Home Secretary Jack Straw must give the ultimate approval.
Earlier this month, Pinochet came close to expressing regret about abuses committed after his 1973 coup against the elected President Salvador Allende, a Marxist.
"The pain of those who suffered was not alien to me in the past, nor now." Pinochet wrote in a letter to Chile. "I lament all the situations of belligerence and acts of violence that caused them."
Former vice president fell victim to ridicule and lack of funding
Quayle leaves GOP race
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—Dan Quayle, the former vice president who had hoped to overcome long odds and ridicule to win the Republican presidential nomination in 2000, is giving up his White House dreams.
Campaign officials said Sunday night that he planned to drop out of the race yesterday during a Phoenix news conference. They called him the latest victim of George W.

Quayle: Could not raise enough money to compete.
Bush's GOP juggernaut.
Quayle's departure narrows the GOP field to eight major Republican candidates, and will increase speculation about the financial and politi-
ical health of the remaining contenders. There already is turbulence within the nomination race.
quayle's advisers said the former vice president decided to quit this weekend after consulting with his wife, Marilyn, and campaign manager Kyle McSlarrow.
The brain trust determined that Quayle could not raise enough money to compete deep into the primary season, even if he fared well in New Hampshire, the first-in-the nation primary state. Bush, a two-term Texas governor and GOP front-runner, has topped $50 million — five times that of his nearest challenger.
One of the biggest obstacles that faced Quayle was what one supporter labeled the "potato factor" — a reference to the day the then-vice president mispelled the word in a classroom full of school children. That and other miscues turned Quayle into a punch line for countless jokes, cementing for many Americans the perception that Quayle was ill-suited for the top job.
Quayle's announcement comes as the remaining campaigns prepare to file their October finance statements, which will disclose how well or how poorly their fund-raising operations are doing.
Israelis retaliate with air ground strikes in Lebanon
The Associated Press
MARJAYOUN, Lebanon—Israeli warplanes struck the Lebanon yesterday after a roadside bomb killed a top official of the pro-Israeli militia and seriously wounded his driver, Lebanese security officials said.
The Iranian-backed Hezbollah group claimed responsibility for the bombing.
The roadside attack prompted large-scale Israeli air and ground retaliation. Security officials said Israeli warplanes raided suspected guerrilla targets, dropping at least 15 air-to-surface missiles over villages in Iqlim al-Tuffah, a guerrilla stronghold opposite an Israeli-occupied enclave in southern Lebanon.
There was no immediate word on casualties from the airstrikes. Hezbollah guerrillas maintain bases in the area that they use as launching pads for attacks against Israeli troops and their Lebanese allies.
Israeli ground troops also
sneiled valleys in the Tuffah province, killing a Hezbollah guerrilla and igniting a fire.
An Israeli army spokesman in Jerusalem said four militia members of the Israeli-allied South Lebanon Army were wounded in the clash. The spokesman and Lebanese security officials said guerrilla artillery also injured a Lebanese woman.
The bomb yesterday morning exploded as a car carrying Fawzi al-Saghir, a local SLA intelligence chief and another SLA official was passing the militia's outpost at Bait Yahoun, nine miles north of the border, the Lebanese officials said.
Saghir was killed instantly and his driver was seriously wounded, the officials said.
In Jerusalem, an Israeli military statement said the bombing killed one SLA militiaman. Two other militiamen and a Lebanese civilian were wounded, the military said. Two of the injured were flown to Israel for treatment.

Students apply entrepreneurial skills in service for blind
By Amy Train writer @ kansan.com Kansan staff writer
This fall, University of Kansas School of Business classes have stepped in to run a catalog service for the blind, putting a business plan, developed last semester, into action.

July 1986 "We wanted to learn how to run the business more efficiently," Eble said.
The catalog service offers blind people the opportunity to shop for themselves for the first time, Eble said. There are many different Home Readers, tapes of catalogs, available for the blind or sight impaired. Land's End, Radio Shack and Schwann's are among the 35 catalogs available for customers.

Jeff Morrow, lecturer in the school, said the catalog service initially was run by Kathy Eble, a blind woman, and her husband from their home in Edgerton. But, he said, the business was dwindling, so the Ebles turned to the MBA Entrepreneurship class, BUS 895, at the Regents Center in Kansas City for help in July 1998.
Eble receives numerous calls and letters from those who have used the Home Readers. Several people only have dreamed of being able to shop for themselves.

"It is definitely a daunting task."

Pelathé received some grant money to help Home Readers get the location ready. It also has supplied the materials needed, Morrow said.

Renovations began Sept. 12. So far, the walls have been built and the ceilings have been sheet-rocked. Equipment will be installed after the physical renovations are completed. The Home
Reader business will be operating from Pélathe by Oct. 15.
The program is being partially funded with a $25,000 grant from the Kauffman Foundation's social entrepreneurial grant program. The grant was matched by the School of Business.
The Kauffman grant was designed to help establish an internship program. Interns are paid $10 per hour and graduate students make $15, Morrow said.
Last fall the entrepreneurship class studied the feasibility by researching the market potential for the business, and the small business management class wrote a business plan. The next semester the small business class wrote a business plan for Home Readers as a class project.

"I definitely think that it is an

Eble started the catalog service in March 1996, but sought help from Morrow and his students last summer.
But even with help, publicity efforts have not progressed as projected. The business now has 1,800 customers. Eble said the goal was to have 5,000 by Christmas.
"We plan to launch a publicity campaign to reach the entire market," he said. "We are hitting the wall everywhere. But, we are not disheartened. It just makes us more focused and earnest on the approach."
Morrow said his group had an agreement to work with the catalogue service through next Christmas season. The graduate-level team is designing systems so that Home Reader can be fully operated by the blind when the transition is complete.

Receding floodwaters reveal damage of Hurricane Floyd
- Edited by Jamie Knodel
The Associated Press
PRINCEVILLE, N.C.— From a newspaper box coated with mud, the headline on the front page of the Sept. 15 local paper presaged what was to come: "Edgecombe hunkers down for Floyd hit."
This town founded by ex-slaves prepared as best it could. But sandbags piled along an earthen dam did nothing to stop the swollen Tar River from spilling its banks, swallowing Princeville under 23 feet of water.
After 10 days, floodwaters finally receded enough Sunday to allow a small group of reporters to tour
part of the town that has come to epitomize the devastating flooding across eastern North Carolina in the wake of Hurricane Floyd.
Many of Princeville's 1,800 residents, who have been homeless since Sept. 17, were anxious to survey the damage for themselves.
"I just want to go back in," said 16-year-old Dazzala Knight, standing outside one of Edgecombe County's 10 shelters. "My artwork is in there, and it's probably ruined."
Preliminary estimates show Hurricane Floyd caused $70.2 million in housing damage in eastern North Carolina, with more than
3,000 homes destroyed or seriously damaged. The storm has been blamed for 47 deaths.
A team began identifying bodies yesterday in some 130 caskets found floating in floodwaters since the Sept. 17 storm.

Tennis players backhand opponents in tournaments
By Melinda Weaver
sports@kansan.com
Kanson sportswriter
The Kansas men's tennis team gained experience for the spring season by playing in two national tournaments, the National Clay Courts and the Middle Tennessee Classic.
The team's positive results in these competitions also could help the players move higher in the collegiate rankings.
Ed Dus, Rodrigo Echagaray and Eleazar Magallan competed in the National Clay Courts Sept. 20-26, a tournament in which players qualify based on their national ranking.
The tournament consisted of a pre-qualifying match, a qualifying match and the actual tournament. None of Kansas' players qualified for the tournament in singles, but the doubles combination of Dus and Echagaray won three matches before losing in the round of 16.
Dus and Echagaray's first two victories over North Carolina St. and Middle Tennessee St. qualified them for the tournament. In the tournament, they defeated Texas Tech 6-4, 6-1 before losing to Clemson, the runner-up of the tournament.
"Ed and Rodrigo played good dou
bles and established himself on the national front," coach Mark Riley said. "We are a lot better off than we were before the tournament. This should get us nationally ranked, and we can go on there."
Riley said that he felt that his team had an advantage on much of its competition because of the regimen led by conditioning coach Fred Roll.
"We have a set schedule every Monday, Wednesday and Friday where we work out for an hour or so," assistant coach Ross Nwachukwu said. "We have intense tennis specific routines designed to build strength and stamina. The most important thing is that we don't do it every now and then; we have a set schedule."
The weather, however, prevented the conditioning from providing Kansas with any kind of advantage.
Because heavy rain from Hurricane Floyd caused unfavorable conditions on the clay courts, matches were played in one eightgame match rather than three six-game matches.
game match. "Rodrigo and I were not prepared for eight-game pro sets," Dus said. "If you get off to a slow start, which I tend to do, it hurts. We didn't get a chance to get our feet wet, and we didn't find our groove.

Sinking Jayhawks try to plug the leaks

The Kansas football team may need to call a plumber because the water is quickly rising around it.
Nothing has worked on offense or defense for Kansas in the last two weeks, which would seem to indicate that some major reconstruction would be in the works.
But if you're coach Terry Allen, you do some patchwork and hope things get better.

"They're going to be subtle changes."
But trying to tweak a team that has been outscored 92-30 the last two weeks by unranked opponents might not be enough.
In that span, the offense has been held to less than 200 total yards and has not been able to run the ball effectively since the California State Northridge game. The defense has surrendered more than 500 yards in three of the four games this year and watched Colorado and San Diego State both score more than 30 points in the first half.
But some of the problems can be attributed to poor planning.

The defense of the Kansas women's soccer team showed just how much it improved this weekend, shutting out two straight opponents.
The Jayhawk defense notched its first back-to-back shutouts since the first two games of the 1997 season this weekend during the KU Credit Union Jayhawk Invitational. It was just the second time in team history that this feat had been accomplished. In addition, the Jayhawks have allowed just one goal in their last three games.
The shutouts left coach Mark Francis pleased.
"Defensively, we played very soundly, so I was happy." Francis said.
was happy, Francis said.
A variety of Jayhawks contributed to the effort, most notably Betsy Pollard. The senior goalkeeper made eight stops during the weekend, highlighted by a clutch save with four minutes remaining in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Creighton University. Pollard also garnered a roar of applause from the crowd during Friday's win against Drury College after stopping Lotte Reijmers' rocket-shot from point blank range. Pollard dove left and snagged the ball as the smack of it hitting her hands echoed across SuperTarget Field.
"Betsy did a great job," Francis said. "She didn't get a lot to do, but she came up with a great save. We got caught on the wrong side of a player, and the girl fired. I thought it was a goal for sure."
The closeness of Sunday's game was something Pollard hoped wouldn't happen, but she was pleased with the outcome.
"I was hoping we'd score more than one goal, but we didn't, and that's okay, since we still won," Pollard said.
sun won. Potter took 15 shots, Creighton was held to just nine, largely due to the efforts of the defenders assisting Pollard. Seniors Cynthia Dahle and Lindsey Loeffler, junior Emma Di Cesare and freshman Bridget Goyen all worked together to wreak havoc on the opposition's forwards, breaking up many plays. Goyen and Dahle's play earned them positions on the All-Tournament Team for defense.
for defense. Francis said he was proud of the progress his defense has made during the last few games. He said they were now ready for conference play, which resumes Friday at Baylor and Sunday at Texas Tech.
"We were giving up goals I'd say were soft goals." Francis said of his team's early-season play. "We've eliminated that now."

Jayhawk football off focus,off pace just plain off
Two weeks ago, I vowed to attend every single home football game this season.
single home night, Saturday night, I sprained my neck stretching to watch as those words bit my butt.
The evening started out well enough — it was beautiful outside, I had good tickets and pleasant company and once again the police looked the other way as we enjoyed a few beers in the parking lot.
The color on the video board was off, and the Kansas defense was apparently playing under a hands-off

I made some off-color remarks regarding our defense and promptly was told off by some guy with a bad combover.

acknowledged that, "People are pissed off."

on.
The only thing that seemed to be on was the San Diego State offense, which put up 572 total yards and demonstrated what our offense would look like if we had more talent.
Our injury-depleted receiving corps has guys who are relatively fast (Harrison Hill) and guys with size (Mike Chandler), but we're missing the big-play guy who has both.
You have to like Zac Wegner's toughness and Dylen Smith's potential, but neither has shown that they can throw with enough accuracy to connect consistently on timing patterns and outs.
These are the types of plays that we need, for our offense to move the ball effectively. Of course, we also need to gain more than zero yards on the ground.
Sure, our quarterbacks combined for a total of 62 yards, but that still leaves our running backs with only 62 yards on 19 carries.

Twenty six carriers, zero yards
The biggest disappointment, however,
wasn't our awful stats or the lopsided 41-13
final score. It's the way we lost.
San Diego State is a good team — no doubt about it.
They just outplayed us. They concentrated harder, they executed better, and they did it all in our stadium.
Chancellor Hemenway's ill-timed video board greeting to our fans might as well have been directed to the Aztec players because on several occasions it looked as though our defense was merely escorting them to the end zone.
Two weeks ago, I also stated that I was wary to make any predictions about how the team would fare this season.
After watching a couple of enlightening losses, I'm ready to make a prediction.
The Hawks will finish 4-8 (3-8 not counting Division I-AA College State-Northridge). They will win one surprise upset (hopefully against Missouri) and show much more moxie than they did on Saturday in a couple of close losses.
Allen will get his guys to play better, but like my fat-cat friends in the scholarship suites say. "You can't make a good martini with bathtub gin." (Cheers and drink up, fellas!)
But Allen can count on one thing — no matter how bad it gets this season, I'll be there suffering along with him for every home game (at least until halftime).

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is an 8.
It's actually a good time for you romantically, but something's bathering you. It might be the time you spend making money. There is a way to have it all. The two of you, working together, may be able to find it.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
Gemini: Today is an 8.
Do you think everybody else is getting a fat pay-check while you're doing all the work? Let them know that even if that was how it was in the past, that won't be how it is in the future. Tell them nice ly, of course, with an ace up your sleeve, like a better job offer.
Something you thought you could do might not work quite right. It's not necessarily anything you're doing wrong. It could be a changing condition. Patience is a virtue, and today, you get to practice it.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
You might not think you have much, but to some body else, you look like royalty. How about making some of your surplus available? Not just your material goods, but also your time. If you don't think you have any surplus, see it from their point of view.
Leo: Today is a 7.
Today, you should be able to find out just what to do to succeed. Part of it might seem too hard, maybe not even possible, and certainly not to your liking. But at least you can learn what the game is, and that helps if you're trying to win it.
Virgo: Today is an 8.
Libra: Today is a 7.
This is a good day to ask for a raise, and that may cause just the shift you've been praying for. Or, if there's no opportunity to advance, it's a great day to find a new job, or to create one. Ever think about hanging out your own shinale?
+ +
A few bugs need to be worked out of your later scheme. Make sure you do the homework before you buy an expensive item. Ask a friend who knows the market to help. You might be overlooking something big.

Saaittarius: Today is a 7.
Scorpio: Today is a 10.

Capricorn: Today is a 5.
You and a mate are cruising right along at a nice clip, and are headed for uncharted waters. Do not think, but enjoy the moment. Don't stop what you're doing; just pay attention to where you're going. The excitement will be exhilarating.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
Although your enthusiasm is still high, you might start to encounter barriers. Don't let them stop you completely. You knew this was going to happen. You've got to look at them as learning experiences. Think of them as temporary.
LIVING HIGH
Pisces: Today is a 6.
You and your sweetheart or a child may have some big decisions to make. You shouldn't rush into anything. If you can't make up your mind until tomorrow or the next day, that's all right. A new project will have a better chance of success if you start it then anyway.
You want it your way, and the other person is just as stubborn. You're a good match, most likely, but moments like this can sure be frustrating. Remember, you've been through this before, and you've made up. So, you can do it again. Quickly
You might not have time for romance because you're focusing on your studies. That's dismaying, of course, but it's most likely not terminal. Schedule your date for Thursday, at your house. Meanwhile, get back into the books. What you're learning now looks important.

PRO BASKETBALL Referee fined for part in airline ticket scam
Ronald Nunn, 49, pleaded guilty in July to one count of filing a false income tax return. He admitted that during 1993 he earned more income than he declared on his return by cashing in first-class airline tickets for coach tickets and pocketing the difference. He failed to report between $8,000 and $13,500, including some unreported income from 1992.
In addition to the fine, U.S. District Court Judge Janet Hall ordered Nunn to perform 1,000 hours of community service and serve one year of probation.
Nunn was one of 11 league officials convicted after an investigation by the Internal Revenue Service dubbed "Operation Slam Dunk."

Tigers win final game in Stadium
The Associated Press
DETROIT — With Al Kaline, Ernie Harwell and a sellout crowd bidding goodbye, Tiger Stadium went out on in grand fashion in its last turn at bat Monday.
Better make that grand slam fashion.
10.
Robert Fick, wearing the No. 25 of former Tigers favorite Norm Cash, hit his first career grand slam in the eighth inning and Detroit beat Kansas City 8-2 in its final game at the corner of Michigan and Trumbull.
Luis Polonia and Karim Garcia also homered for the Tigers whose final
record at the old ballpark was 3,764 wins. 3,090 losses and 19 ties.
On April 20, 1912, with home plate moved from right field to its present location, the stadium opened as Navin Field. That was five days after the sinking of the Titanic. Fenway Park opened in Boston the same day, making them the two oldest ballparks in the country.
Detroit's players all wore numbers of Tigers who played through the years. The starters wore the numbers of the Tigers' all-time team, Center fielder Gabe Kape wore a uniform without a number, honoring Cobb the greatest Tiger of them all — who
played in an era before uniforms were numbered.
Hall-of-Famers Al Kaline and George Brett exchanged lineup cards. Both wore their familiar uniforms, Kaline with his No. 6 on the back, Brett with No. 5.
Monday's game with the Royals was the 6,873rd regular season game at the stadium, which also has played host to 35 postseason games and three All-Star games. Special baseballs were used, and the bases were changed after each inning.
after each season, the team will play in Comerica Park, a state of the art stadium about a mile away.
Reds make another dramatic comeback
The Associated Press
CINCINNATI — Mark McGwire caught up with Sammy Sosa, but the way the Cincinnati Reds are playing, no one's going to catch them.
McGwire hit his 61st homer yesterday as St. Louis pulled ahead by five runs, but the Reds pulled off another amazing comeback for a 9-7 victory that solidified their lead in the playoff race.
Dmitri Young's homer cut a
five-run deficit to 6-3 in the sixth, and Cincinnati scored four times with two outs in the seventh to take the lead.
The Reds' sixth victory in seven games gave them a 1 1/2-game lead against the idle New York Mets for the NL wild card.
NL who came Cincinnati also pulled even with the Astros for the NL Central lead and head to Houston for a two-game series starting today. The Astros have set up their rotation to throw 20-game winners Jose Lima and Mike Hampton.
Just like Sunday, when the Reds overcame McGwire's 60th homer, a blown ninth-inning lead and a one-run deficit in the 12th, Cincinnati came back after the game seemed lost.

Rain not a factor for fall players, organizers say
By Jason Walker sports@kansan.com Kansan Sportswriter
University of Kansas Recreation Services hasn't had to mess with Mother Nature a whole lot this fall.
148.
Yesterday was only the second day of intramural flag football that had to be postponed because of rain. The only other time games had to be postponed was on Sept. 19, and that rain only affected half of that day's games.
Tom Nienke, Mulvane senior
and program assistant, said that the rainsout only amounted to 15 games that needed to be made up.
games that needed to be made up. "This year has been better than most," he said. "We are going to try and play the makeup games on Tuesday and Wednesday, and hopefully start the tournament as soon as we can."
Jason Krone, assistant director of recreation services, said that the tournament probably wouldn't get started on Friday as was originally planned because of the time needed to configure the brackets. He said that they were going to work on the brackets Thursday and Friday and hopefully have them posted by noon Friday at the recreation services office, 208 Robinson.

Krone said that compared to last year, recreation services had been fortunate because they had been able to keep most of the games on schedule.
"Last year was almost a complete washout," he said. "We got so much rain that we had to quit trying to reschedule football and soccer games. We even had to call all the teams and give them the option for a refund. It was an extreme thing, but we had to do it."
Krone also said that while flag football and soccer tournament dates were still uncertain, the sand volleyball tournament was on schedule to start on Wednesday.
He said that Monday's games that were rained out would be made up on Wednesday at their original times and that anyone uncertain about that day's games could call the recreation services hotline at 864-3456.
"With all the forfeits we have had, it should only take two or three days," he said.
Knee to Young's head doesn't stop the 49ers from victory against Arizona
The Associated Press
Edited by Mike Loader
TEMPE, Ariz. — With Steve Young, San Francisco was overpowering. Without him, the 49ers were able to hold on, then punctuated their 24-10 victory against the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night with a 68-yard touchdown run by Lawrence Phillips.
Young staked San Francisco (2-1) to a 17-0 lead before being knocked out of the game with a mild concussion with 28 seconds left in the first half.
Jake Plummer, the quarterback San Francisco passed up in the 1997 draft, has rallied Arizona to victory 10 times in his 29 games with the Cardinals. But this one fell short*

Arizona rallied with 10 points in the fourth quarter, but Chad Stanley's 49-yard punt pinned the Cardinals on their own 3-yard line

Rookie David Boston muffed Stanley's punt and Joe Zelenka of the 49ers recovered at the Cardinals' 37 to set up Rice's first touchdown catch of the year.
Two plays later, Plummer threw his eighth interception of the season. The pass, intended for Rob Moore, was knocked away by Darnell Walker into the hands of Lance Schulters, who returned it 18 vards to Arizona's 11.

Sooners ranked among nation's best
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
For loyal Oklahoma fans, a national ranking for the Sooners didn't used to be an issue. It was simply a matter of how high the team was in the rolls.
In 1995, the Sooners dropped from the polls after a 49-10 loss to Kansas State and have shown few signs of resurfacing since. But this week, after Oklahoma came from behind beating Louisville 42-21, the Sooners found themselves ranked in both national polls. The Sooners checked in at No. 23 in the AP Top 25 and No. 25 in the ESPN/USA Today coaches' poll.
But, Sooner coach Bob Stoops said he wasn't impressed with the polls.
"It doesn't mean anything," he said. "Our goal coming into the
season wasn't to be ranked No. 25 in the country. We just want to improve and let the rest take care of itself."
Okla homa made it into the polls after a come-from-behind victory a gainst Louisville and
QJ
preseason All-American quarterback Chris Redman. The Sooners were down 13-7 at halftime and were trailing 21-14 midway through the third quarter before they scored 28 unanswered points and put away the Cardinals.
In fact, the Sooners' second-half domination of Louisville was so great that the first game ball given in the Oklahoma locker room was to conditioning coach Jerry Schmidt.
"I told our players at halftime that I was kind of pleased that we
were behind, because I wanted to see what kind of fight, will to win and character we had." Stoops said. "I think our players know a little more of what they are doing and played with more confidence in the second half."
Sooner quarterback Josh Heupel agreed.
"It was a good test for us to be down at halftime because it tested our character and let us know what kind of physical condition we were in," Heupl said.
Heupel entered this season as a relatively unknown junior college transfer. After throwing for a school record 429 yards and five touchdowns against the Cardinals, Heupel is working on becoming a household name in Oklahoma. He was named the Big 12 Conference's Offensive Player of the Week for the second consecutive week.
After Saturday's comeback, even Louisville coach John L. Smith was impressed with the transfer quarterback.
"He's a great player," Smith said. Stoops said he was one of the few who was not shocked by Heupel's early-season performance.
"I knew from spring ball that Josh is very confident," Stoops said. "I'm not really surprised at all."
Oklahoma is 3-0 for the first time since 1958, when the Sooners' season ended with a 5-5-1 record. Oklahoma will play its toughest game of the season when the team travels to South Bend, Ind., to take on Notre Dame. Although the Irish are favored by six points, Stoops is convinced his team will be ready.
"We're excited by the challenge." he said.

Tennessee suspends four football players
The Associated Press
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Four Tennessee redshirt freshmen football players have been suspended indefinitely as a result of an internal academic fraud investigation. ESPN reported.
Also, ESPN said Sunday night that it had obtained internal memos showing high-level administrators in Tennessee's athletic department were told of four tutors who might have done school work for at least five football players, possibly violating the university's honor code and NCAA rules.
Three of the players have transferred, according to ESPN. The alleged problems date to 1995.
None of the information was passed on to the proper campus authorities charged with investigating possible rules infractions, said Malcolm McInnis, NCAA compliance officer for Tennessee.
nothing's wrong."
"All of those incidents should have been investigated and resolved." McMnis said.
NCAA rules require member schools to follow school procedures in investigating and to report any rules violations.
"I should have been part of that loop," Asp said. "If the memos are in writing, they should have been copied and the notes passed on to me. I should be informed of anything, even if
McInnis and Carl Asp, Tennessee's NCAA faculty athletic representative, said they did not know about the documents until contacted by ESPN.
Asp said Tennessee's internal investigation was focusing on Ron Payne, a tutor who has worked with hundreds of football players for more than a decade.
NCAA
Robin Wright, former coordinator for academic programs in the Tennessee athletic department, said she attempted to alert her bosses, Gerry Dickey and Carmen Tegano, to possible academic fraud
Last December, she sent a memo to Dickey in which she said tutor Jenai Brown admitted to her that Brown had been helping players with their papers.
Brown denied having done any work for players she tutored.
"That's a lie." she said.
According to memos obtained by ESPN, Wright cited five unidentified players she believed might have committed academic fraud — a defensive lineman, a linebacker, a receiver, a defensive back and a center.
The defensive back used an unapproved math tutor who admitted she had gone to his classes and taken notes — both clear violations of rules, Wright said in a memo.
Wright left Tennessee for a better-paying job at Stephen F. Austin University, where she
runs the tutoring program for all students.
"One reason I'm in Texas is because of that kind of thing," Wright said. "I worried that if I staved there my reputation would be hurt."
On Saturday, Tennessee officials suspended redshirt freshmen Leonard Scott, Reggie Ridley, Keyon Whiteside and Ryan Rowe before the seventh-ranked Volunteers' 17-16 victory against Memphis.
Athletic director Doug Dickey said in a news release that the school would hold the players out of competition until officials had completed their own investigation.
--in association with
"The University of Tennessee has received information which, if true, could affect the eligibility of four football players," said Dickey, who is unrelated to Gerry Dickey.
Tory Edge, a former Tennessee receiver who graduated in 1997, said he was aware of players who had papers written for them by tutors.
Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer said he was not notified of the situation until Saturday and would not comment.
"Not with every tutor," Edge said. "But you get some guys who come up there just bleeding orange. They don't care — they just want to be around the football team. You got some young ladies who come up there who just think these guys are the greatest. And you got hormones flying, and you got everything else going on except for academics."

Ranked Big 12 opponents await
Continued from page 1B
Against San Diego State, the Jayhawks ran a soft zone where the defensive backs played back too far allowing the Aztecs to complete pass after pass. Kansas rectified the problem in the second half, limiting San Diego State to 159 total yards and only 12 yards passing.
"It's not the coaches fault, it's our fault," cornerback Andrew Davison said. "We just didn't execute right. They were breaking down our zones, and we weren't holding them up at the line."
Their defense was on the field for almost two-thirds of the game, but the Jayhawks insisted neither fatigue or offensive problems were at fault.
"I'm not going to put this on the offense. We just had a lot of mistakes as a team." Davison said.
Though Allen won't divulge the changes yet — he wants to surprise the media at Saturday's game against Southern Methodist — one of the changes could be at starting quarterback.
Back-up Dylan Smith has played the majority of the last two games, including all but three snaps after the first quarter against the Aztecs. Allen insists this is because he wants Smith to gain game experience, not because of either quarterback's performance.
But Allen said Kansas has more problems than at just one position.
"If there was one thing to go out
and fix we would attempt to do that, but there's a combination of things." Allen said.
Even if the subtle changes are made, Kansas still will need to improve if it hopes to compete — and quickly.
Big 12 Conference play resumes Oct. 9 when the Jayhawks travel to Manhattan to play Kansas State. K-State is ranked 15th in the Associated Press poll, and games against Nebraska and Texas A&M — ranked fifth and sixth — wait in the wings, Oct. 15 and Oct. 30.
"There aren't any easy games in the Big 12." Davison said.
"It's not going to get any easier."

Students learn spam's other meaning
Illegal e-mail circles in student accounts
By Nathan Willis
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
A flood of mass e-mail, claiming to offer people easy money but actually is a scam, has been clogging University of Kansas e-mail accounts for more than a week.
Academic Computing Services has received several complaints in the past week or so and is following up on people who have reportedly been sending the e-mail to hum-
dreds or thousands of people at a time — a practice known as spamming.
Cathy Smith, director of Academic Computing Services, said there was not any way to know how many people at the University had been spammed. But the number is likely in the thousands, she said.
(USPS 650-640)
She also said that she didn't know how it started but that a few individuals probably had started a chain reaction that led to multiple messages in many people's inboxes.
My Truong, Lawrence senior,
said she had received six or seven
copies of the e-mail in the last week.
"Every day I get the same e-mail." Truong said. "When you check your e-mail, you expect to hear from someone you know. But this is someone I don't know, and it makes me feel insecure about my account that people I don't know were able to get ahold of my e-mail address."
The e-mail message claims that computer-industry giants Microsoft Corp. and America Online, Inc., will pay people who forward the e-mail $5 for each person it is sent to plus another $1 for every three people it is sent to.
"Want to make some easy money?" the e-mail asks.
See PHONY on page 3A
COMMON E-MAIL HOAXES
The "free money" hoax. Like the current e-mail circulating campus, this says that someone will pay you money for forwarding e-mail. In reality, the likelihood of someone having an e-mail tracking system is very unlikely. Chances that the company or individual would pay you are more unlikely still
company or individual would pay you are more emblematic than The "poor little Johnny is dying" hoax. These emails play on people's sympathies by saying that someone, often a child, has a life-threatening disease. They then go on to say that some organization, such as the American Red Cross or American Cancer Society, will donate money for each time the email is forwarded.
The "your computer will be destroyed" hoax. A current incarnation of this hoax is an e-mail that warns of severe year 2000 problems in Windows. Other past versions are phony virus alerts. Occasionally, real virus alerts are passed on through e-mail, so you might want to check www.cert.org to see if the virus is real.

Dietary supplements don't always win battle of the bulge, some sav
By Amber Stuever writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
In the never-ending quest to loose love handles, saddlebags and beer guts, some students look to dietary supplements for help.
One popular choice, Metabolife 356, promises weight loss, energy gain and customer satisfaction for about $40 a bottle. The product was introduced in 1994, but popularity has skyrocketed since 1997. It is now estimated that 250,000 tablets are taken every hour in the United States.
Metabolife, which contains herbs 50 countries
from 12 countries also promises that it is a safe drug.

makes it so you can't sleep," she said.
Several members of the KU medical community said students should be careful when looking for easy fixes to weight problems.
"In general, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is," said Randall Rock, Watkins Memorial Health Center chief of staff.
Despite Metabolife's safety claims, Watkins medical officials are skeptical of the product.
Cathy Thrasher, Watkins head pharmacist, said that because Metabolife was made of natural herbs, it did not have to undergo the same scrutiny as prescription med
"I might have lost a couple of pounds,but it made me shake,and it makes it so you can't sleep."
Jamie Doerschlag
The company boasted that the herb was shown to be safe in two laboratories and effective with students at two major universities.
Jamie Doerschlag, Ulysses junior took the supplement, but stopped after three weeks. She said that Metabolife was not only expensive but also bothersome to her.

However, some University of Kansas students who took the supplement weren't as convinced.

TA posts bond; alleged battery charges pending
By Katie Hollar and Michael Terry
Kansan staff writers
A University of Kansas teaching assistant faces two misdemeanor charges for allegedly sexually battering one of his female students.
Lavanya Malhotra, Shinla, India, graduate student and teaching assistant in mathematics, allegedly sexually battered the victim in his apartment at Jayhawker Towers the afternoon of Aug. 23, the KU Public Safety Office said
The alleged victim contacted the KU Public Safety Office with a complaint a few hours after the incident. A report was filed, and both the suspect and the victim were interviewed, said Sgt. Troy Mallen.
After a month-long investigation, Malhotra,
43. was formally charged Monday.
He was arrested Monday night by a KU Public Safety officer. According to jail records, he was booked at the Douglas County Jail at 8:05 p.m. and released at 9:47 p.m. after paying his $3,000 bond in cash. Malhotra's first court appearance is scheduled for 3 p.m. October 12.
Jack Porter, chairman of the mathematics department, declined to comment about whether Malhotra was still teaching mathematics classes.
Angela Wilson, the assistant district attorney charging the case, said a resident of Jayhawker Towers had contacted her office yesterday saying Malhotra was planning to flee to India.
Malhotra is charged with sexual battery and criminal restraint. Both offenses are misdemeanors, each punishable with up to one year in the county jail.
Despite the concern, the suspect cannot be held. Wilson said.
"He hasn't violated a condition of his bond until he fails to show up in court," she said. Malhotra denied the rumor that he was
leaving the country. "I cannot yet go," he said.
I cannot yet go, he said.
District Attorney Christine K. Tonkovich said if Malhotra were to leave the country, no legal action could be taken until he came back. Then if he returned to the United States, she said, checks would be made and the arrest should show up if he tried to go through U.S. customs.
Wilson said the victim was credible and cooperative.
"If we were to take it to trial,we'd have a good chance." she said.
Kim Grassmeyer, assistant director at the department of student housing, said that the department was informed by the KU Public Safety Office that Malhotra had been arrested for sexual battery but that to her knowledge, no action had been taken yet.
According to the student housing policy, students' housing contracts may be suspended if they are either arrested for alleged criminal acts or have criminal charges pending against them.
Malhotra said he had not decided whether to seek alternative housing. He has withdrawn from the University. He was an architectural engineering major.

Lazer format changes ignite Templin Revolution to take action
By Emily Hughey
By Emily Hughey writer@kanson.com Kansan staff writer
Templin Revolution hopes to sprinkle Lawrence with white cotton jerseys. The message? "The New Lazer Sucks."
J. D. Jenkins, revolution organizer and Shawnee junior, said the group created the T-shirts to express displeasure with 105.9 KLZR's new format and to influence businesses to pull advertising from the station.

Window broken at KLZR; motive remains mystery
Lawrence police said an unidentified suspect damaged a window at 2:22 a.m. The window was valued at $125.
Early yesterday morning, Lawrence police were dispatched to the KLZR station, 3125 W. Sixth St., after a plate-glass window was broken.
Sgt. Rick Nickell said no weapon had been recovered inside or outside the building.
Bob Newton, KLZR station manager, said that this was the first act of vandalism at
Newton said he did not know whether the broken window was a statement against the station's controversial new format.
"Whoever broke the window didn't leave a note saying why did it," he said.
Newton said the incident could have been an accident or lust mischief.
"Maybe someone was just playing catch," he said. "But we didn't find any softballs."

Forum lecture to feature same-sex relationships
Same-sex relationships and the part they play in religion will be the topic of today's noon University Forum lecture series at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave.
Robert Minor, professor of religious studies, said the discussion, titled "World Religions and Homophobia," would highlight Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism and Christianity and the way they deal with homosexual relationships.
"It's not religion that decides about people in same-sex relationships," he said. "Religion is conforming to cultural attitudes."
Minor said he would deal with same-sex relationships on both a sexual and friendship level, something he said he thought could be positive.
"The world needs more love, and I have no problem with it wherever it turns out," he said. "Even love of the opposite sex isn't perfect."
The lecture will last for 30 minutes and will be followed by a question-and-answer session for the remainder of the hour. The event is free and is open to all students, faculty and staff.
Minor said the lecture would be a positive one.
"If we all held hands, we might get along better," he said. "People should be in love more. It has nothing to do with sex; people can just be close."

Commission approves bids for aquatic center
The Lawrence City Commission approved eight bid packages last night totaling more than $4.5 million for work on an indoor aquatic
center being built adjacent to Free State High School.
Tom Wilkerson assistant director of the Parks and Recreation
City Commission
Department, said that site preparation for the construction was nearing completion and that work from the bids approved last night would begin in the next 60 days.
Packages approved last night include general construction, swimming pool construction and mechanical, plumbing and electrical work.
Wilkerson said progress on the project was moving more smoothly than expected.
"We're very happy with where we are at this time in the project," he said. "We're well within the budget that we had anticipated."
The project was originally budgeted for $9.5 million, and Mayor Erv Hodges said that so far the project was slightly more than $1 million less than the budget.
"Keep up the good work," Hodges said.
Wikerson said that the design for the pool included a 10-lane competitive teaching pool as well as a family leisure pool complete with fountains, slides and other play features.
The target date for the opening of the building is late spring 2001, Wilkerson said.

However, Dole cautioned that Kosovo's Albanians, in particular the Kosovo Liberation Army, could lose the support of the international community, as well as that of Congress, if they don't follow Democratic principles.
Dole criticized both the Republican Bush administration and the Democratic Clinton administration for not being firmer in dealing with Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic.

WASHINGTON—Republican presidential hopeful Gary Bauer dismissed a gossip item about an alleged affair as disgusting and outrageous.
The New York Daily News ran a gossip column Monday that read:
"What presidential candidate is praying that a former secretary doesn't go public with her claim that he's been having an affair with a twentysomething woman?"
"I think it's supposed to be me," Bauer said. "And it's disgusting. It almost makes me physically sick."
He said that he had been loyal to his wife of 27 years and that she had been loyal to him.
Asked who might be the source of the rumors, Bauer refused to be specific but said he thought it was coming from a political opponent.
Bauer planned a news conference for today.

EU considers expansion to countries in Balkans
BERLIN—Most European Union countries favor widening the list of potential members to include several Balkan countries, the new commissioner for the Union expansion said yesterday.
The expansion strategy has gained fresh momentum with efforts to integrate southeastern Europe after the war for Kosovo, Guenter Verheugen told a German newspaper.
Closer ties are planned with Albania and Macedonia in the form of so-called association treaties, while talks with Romania and Bulgaria could begin soon. Verheugen said. European Union leaders could make an offer at the year-end summit in Helsinki to begin membership talks, he said.
The 15-nation European Union bloc,comprised largely of Western European nations, allows members freer movement of money, material and workers across national borders.
Six countries — Poland, Hungary,
Czech Republic, Estonia, Slovenia
and Cyprus — currently are negotiating to join.
Verheugen urged candidates to stay on the ground with their expectations, and said the first new members might join by 2002.

KJHK receives recognition by Rolling Stone for Web site
By Nathan Willis
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
KJHK 90.7 rocks — digitally, any way.
Or at least that's what Rolling Stone said. The national music magazine named the University of Kansas' student-run radio station one of the six college radio stations that rock the World Wide Web in its Oct. 14 issue.
"I'm thrilled," said Gary Hawke, general manager of the station. "We think of those six, we're No. 1."
In reality, Rolling Stone didn't give the stations actual rankings, but Hawke said the exposure it gave KJHK was still nice.
"It's nice to know that someone feels we're doing a good job on the Web, especially someone with the national prestige of Rolling Stone," he said.

In the paragraph about KJHK, Rolling Stone cited it as the first college radio station to do a 24-hour live broadcast on its Web site — kjhk.ukans.edu. Hawke said KJKH began Web broadcasting on Dec. 8.
The magazine also praised the show "Plow the Fields," which gives airtime to
local bands every Friday from 6 to 8 p.m.
Kim Downing, station manager, said she thought the award was more for the music KJHK played - including
that of many local bands — than the Web site itself.
"At the time they were researching this, the Web site was undergoing significant changes, and it was under construction," she said.
constiction, she said.
Matt Dunehoe, Shawnee senior and assistant music director, said he found it interesting that KJHK would receive an award from Rolling Stone not long after KLZR 105.9 the Lazer — which was named one of the "Ten Stations That Don't Suck" by Rolling Stone last year — changed its format. He said he hoped the Lazer's disenchanted listeners would recognize that they had an alternative.
"ine Lazer is not the last hope for people who want to hear new music," Dunehoo said. "People should check us out."
Downing also said she hoped the recognition would turn students' attention to KJHK.
"I'd like students to go. 'Hey, we're not being served by any of the radio stations in this market except for one: KJHK." she said.

Student Senate may condemn Lazer
Resolution would support fan protests of changes
By Chris Borniger writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Thousands of disgruntled radio listeners will have Student Senate on their sides if Senate passes a resolution condemning local radio station KLZR 105.9 tonight.
The resolution would petition the station's managers to bring back the station's alternative music format. Although it did not go through committees last week, the Student Senate Executive Committee has the power to put it on tonight's Senate agenda.
Sarah Schreck, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, sponsored the resolution. She said it focused on three premises: that the survey the station used in researching the format change was flawed, that several Top 40 popular music stations already broadcast in the area and that the format change could affect the local music scene.
"A lot of people thought they were left out on the decision," Schreck said. "Especially when they first changed, there were a lot of people pissed off."
She said the survey was inaccurate because it was conducted during the summer when thousands of University of Kansas students were away from Lawrence. Moreover, she said, the survey didn't reach many areas that the station's broadcasts do, including Topeka and Johnson County.
Schreck cited the thousands of names on similar petitions on the Internet as proof that the Lazer's audience was not pleased.
"They've alienated a large portion of their listeners." she said.
Schreck and Erin Simpson, CLAS senator and one of the resolution's co-sponsors, said advertisers' support was the Lazer's biggest soft spot. Simpson said that although Senate's influence may be limited, she hoped it would motivate students to boycott businesses that advertise on the station and write letters of protest to the station
"This is a chance for some good, old-fashioned college activism," she said.
StudEx will consider the bill at 4:30 p.m. today at the Governors Room in the Kansas Union.
Ben Walker, StudEx member, said that he was not opposed to the resolution but that committees should have reviewed it first.
"I'll definitely have questions as to why it didn't go through the committee system, but I don't foresee any problems with it," he said.
Full Senate will meet at 6:30 tonight at Room 100 in Smith Hall.

Teachers to learn new technologies
By Todd Halstead
writer @kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The KU Center for Research is the windfall recipient of $1.3 million and will pursue programs designed to prepare teachers for the 21st century.
The money is from the U.S. Department of Education's Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to Use Technology Program, a project to improve technological preparation of teachers.
leal preparation of teachers Jerry Chaffin, who works with the program for the University, said that the funding had the potential to enhance technology in schools throughout the country and to improve technological literacy of teachers.
The University of Kansas is in consortium on the project with universities in four other regional states: Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas. Each state centers on a different aspect of educating teachers about technology, said Chaffin, professor of education.
Chaffin proffer "All the states contribute to the learning-object repository," Chaffin said. "One state might focus on integration skills, while another might focus on computer skills."
Chaffin said learning objects were any resources that educated teachers about technology, including tutorials for teachers wishing to utilize multimedia in lectures or learning how to use online projects in the classroom.
He said a portion of the federal funding would be used to assist the University of Missouri in developing a faculty mentoring system.
Faculty mentoring involves utilizing experienced people to assist faculty in learning about different technologies, Chaffin said.
There are three different forms of grants within the program: capacitybuilding grants, implementation grants
and catalyst grants.
Capacity building grants support universities and schools by developing a technological infrastructure and acquiring computer equipment for schools; implementation grants support full-scale innovations to prepare teachers technologically; and catalyst grants, for which Chaffin is a leader, stimulate ideas for technological improvements.
Ron Aust, project leader of the implementation grant, said that his group recently received $1.38 million for a project called Learning Generation.
ect canteen." Learning Generation resources will be used to enrich teacher education at the University of Kansas School of Education in cooperation with six regional school districts," he said.
Christy Blauer, project coordinator of professional development for the catalyst grant, said that most of the $1.3 million would go to online development of resources and a creation of a central Web site that allowed instructors from other consortium universities to share resources.
RESOURCES "Most of the money is going toward online development of resources, and it will help take advantage of existing knowledge of faculty in the department," Blauer said.
Robert Barnhill, vice chancellor for research and public service, said that the amount of money granted was not surprising.
"These people do such good work we expect some good things to happen," Barnhill said.
Blauer said that the amount of funding was nice but warranted because of the group's success in the past.
"I felt our group had enough evidence of previous success," Blauer said. "But I was still excited about receiving that much funding."

Phony e-mails irritate students
Continued from page 1A
That's a phrase that sets off alarm bells in Smith's head.
"If you see anything in the subject line like 'Win a million dollars!' or 'Answer this now!', it's probably fake," Smith said. "If you get the sense someone is trying to to sell something or get you to do something, it's suspicious."
The e-mail's promise of riches is simply not true, she said.
It gives the name and phone number of a person who claims to have made $800 from it, but callers to the number receive this message: "If this call is regarding the Microsoft/AOL e-mail, it is a hoax. Please do not forward it to anyone."
That's a sentiment Smith echoes. And in the meantime, Academic Computing Services is cracking down on those who have forwarded it because spammings is a violation of University policy.
Voltage of the vehicle Smith said it was the standard policy to temporarily shut down accounts of those who had been reported spamming. If the
same people violate any network policies again, they will be reprimanded more severely, though there is no specific penalty, she said.
But the owner of one of the e-mail addresses from which spam originated said he hadn't done it.
Christopher Walla, Colorado Springs,
Colo. freshman, said he wasn't even
aware spam had come from his e-mail
account.
Smith said all of the recent spamming had been done using Webmail's address book, a tool not available to spammers in previous semesters because Webmail came online this summer.
Smith said that Webmail's address book had been restricted somewhat because of the spamming but that she would like to keep it as open as possible.
"It's very important that we help facilitate communication on campus by providing people's e-mail addresses," Smith said. "But we can't afford to have people spamming like this. It's a losing battle."

Civil lawsuit is smoke and mirrors
The federal government's civil lawsuit against the tobacco industry is a step in the right direction. However, the decision to drop criminal action against the industry for lying to Congress may perpetuate the real problem. Wealthy corporations must be held accountable for their actions. They cannot be allowed to subvert the law and then simply pay a fine.
What the tobacco industry has done is criminal. Filing a civil case against the tobacco industry is as legally ironic as sending Al Capone to jail for tax evasion. Since 1853, the tobacco industry has conspired to recruit child smokers and has lied consistently — under oath
— about the addictiveness and health risks of nicotine. The companies have put the health of their consumers below profitability.
Civil cases are less burdensome than
Big Tobacco executives should pay more than money
criminal ones, and a practical solution is to go after the industry for money. After all, you hit them hardest when you hit them in the pocket book, right?
Wrong. Tobacco company executives claim that the federal suit will bankrupt their industry, especially on the heels of another big lawsuit settled with the states for $246 billion. But consider the fact that the states settlement is to be paid in the next 25 years so as not to disrupt seriously their business. Even if the industry loses another $246 billion, you still will find all your favorite cigarette brands at a nearby supermarket. Tobacco is still a cash crop in America, and its producers will thrive.
But their prosperity should not entitle them to disregard the law. Executives from the big seven tobacco companies have shown contempt for our democratic processes. They have perjured themselves before Congress and are, therefore, criminals. When other corporate leaders see executives from Philip Morris Co. or RJ Reynolds serve a sentence in prison, they might become more responsible in dealing with our public institutions.
The money we can win from the civil suit would benefit society. It could be used to recoup the $20 million annual cost of treating tobacco-related illnesses. However, money should not be seen as a substitute for justice. The executives themselves should be punished for their crimes because it is in the interests of society and because it is just.

Perspective
To change the world is to conquer one's apathy
last week, I sat with my friend Andi out side of our workplace. She stared down at the scarred pavement, wrapped in melan obolly. "I can't change the world," she said.
cryly. I read cutting the word, and she
Her words cut me. In one fleeting second, I
wept a million tears for her, and yet my eyes
remained dry.
Andi is a very idealistic person. I often find myself overwhelmed by the conviction of her beliefs. She knows that she can fight any battle, surmount any obstacle, defeat any injustice. And she tells me, almost convinces me, that I can do the same.
Lyndia Taylor columnist opinion @ kanan.com
And last week, for one night, her boundless courage caved in. From depression, from exhaustion, from frustration, I don't know. But in that one
instant, she felt the bite of an apathy that she has
battled for a long, long time.
My friend Mary lives under unimaginable stress. She's a law student with lofty aspirations to change the laws concerning rape and domestic violence. Get her to talk, and she will argue her side passionately and convincingly. I look at her in awe and tell her that she will change the world someday. She just laughs sadly and tells me that she just wants to do something good.
The day Mary gives up, my soul will lose a whole lot of hope.
I am a writer. I'm not sure about the quality of my writing, but sometimes I wake in the middle of the night, microns away from the words to capture the way I see the world. I spend every moment of my life tipeoting around a final realization, some piece of knowledge that I can feel lurking nearby, but never can quite touch.
My highest ambition is to find just once in my life the words that encapsulate just a tiny bit of that intangible something that I see in the eyes of
In my own way, I want to change the world, too. My way may not be as active as Andi's. It may not be as dedicated as Mary's way. But I am trying to change the world just a little bit.
people around me. Just once, I want to somehow convey just a minuscule amount of wisdom. Just once. I want people to understand.
Each and every day, I find myself fighting against a boundless apathy that creeps ever closer each time I let my guard down. I'm afflicted with a burning, ulcerous apathy that I inherited from my family. I am haunted by a ghost of apathy that has been trailing me since high school. And I also have to contend with the apathy that is eating away at the soul of the world.
I don't have Andi's courage to face these and other demons in my life. But I am trying. Lately, I've actually been pretty successful. I don't know how long that will last.
I know it's not just me or Andi or Mary. All of us have the desire to imprint ourselves on this world in which we live. And we all have the power to change the world, if we only know where to look. But we only can accomplish whatever it is we want to accomplish if we first defeat this pervasive anathy.
Andi and I sit in her apartment. She looks down at the floor. "Why don't they care?" she asks me. "Why doesn't my generation realize the power they have and use it? How can I make them care?"
I thought about telling her that it isn't just her generation. I thought about telling her one of the few things that I know. It isn't just 18 to 27-year-olds. It isn't just 25 to 35-year-olds or some other arbitrary designation of age. This apathy is all-consuming. This apathy has been around for millennia. This apathy is human. I decided not to tell her. It wasn't the time to debate human nature. But I made a decision. From now on, I'm going to care.

time. So, in the interest of the public, here's the first part of Mike's guide to the candidates.
Unlike Vice President Al Gore, he possesses the ability to talk to actual living humans. He has dodged neatly the Clinton trap by being a real hellraiser in his youth, then settling down, marrying and getting religion.
We've got a pretty mixed bag this year. Leading the pack is George W. Bush, governor and chief cowoke of Texas. George the Younger is a charismatic soul. He has the rather neighborly feel of his father, minus the faint, rose-colored haze that always seemed to be orbiting President Bush's head. You come away with the feeling that GW is a man of destiny with the common touch.
Of course, it remains to be seen how long Shrub Bush's respectability will last in the laser-scoped sights of the media rifle. His little verbal dance
The younger Bush also has failed to say or do anything blatantly braindead, has been relatively popular running Texas (which is a slightly more lovable institution than Dad's old assignment, the CIA), and has a very photogenic family.
That covers about half of the GOP candidates. In the next installment, we will cover Pat Buchanan and why he is fluffier than Hitler.
John McCain spent several extra years in a prison camp rather than go home without some of his comrades. If you want a candidate who will do what he believes to be the right thing, McCain is a good bet. But he's got no gimmick, really. It is a sad but true fact that McCain likely will go down to defeat because no one thinks he can win.
Liddy Dole is a fairly attractive candidate. And she's, like, a woman. Considering that a crucial segment of the Democratic vote is also female, that could be important. I personally like what I have seen of her: "In my church, I learned to serve rather than stand in judgment," she said in a stump speech, which makes her at least smarter than half of Congress.
She has had some experience in office, having served as Secretary of Transportation and of Labor in addition to her Red Cross gig. But what are her issues? She's been painting herself as a Reaganite, but what does that mean? That she has a gentle smile and cotton for brains? That she wishes to build space laser satellites and an enormous national debt? Speak up, Liz, we can't hear you in the back.
John McCain is another interesting candidate. He is someone who has been through the crucible and, miraculously, has emerged relatively untarnished. The man is an interesting novel — a congressman who actually votes for what he believes in, regardless of how his party feels. Examine his record on campaign reform and cigarette manufacturers if you doubt me. He is, in my opinion, the most ethical and moral man in the race.
around the cocaine issue was, in the eyes of many Republicans, alarmingly Clintonesque. And being the front runner means that the rest of the pack all have their eyes bent on removing you from that lofty position.
Loader is a Henderson, Nev., junior in journalism.
But Dubya Bush doesn't seem to like issues that much. He instead favors the "Well, I'd have to think about that" response. Hint — presidential candidates are supposed to have opinions on the issues of the day. Bush seems to think that being photogenic is enough to get him elected. The sad thing is that he might be right.

Bike rider's plea
This is for the guy who nearly killed me last Wednesday. You were stopped at the stop sign by the booth behind the Union, waiting to turn left and head north, down Mississippi Street. I was coming down the hill, with the right-of-way. You pulled out in front of me, and I had to brake hard to keep from getting hit.
But I'll give you that one.
Maybe you didn't see me. I was only on a bicycle. In 35 years of cycling, I've learned not to rely on my legal right to be treated as a vehicle when I'm on a bike.
But I won't give you the next one, the one you did 10 seconds later. You pulled over to the right and slowed, as if you were going to park on the right. For a second, I considered passing you on your left. After all, you were out of the travel lane, right next to the curb. But I decided against it because you already had shown you were an unsafe driver. It's a good thing I didn't, because without signaling, you made a sudden left turn and pulled into one of the slant parking spaces on the uphill side of Mississippi.
I'm pretty sure you saw me. I
could see your face in your rearview mirror. But maybe you didn't. If you didn't see me, you should be more careful. If you did, you shouldn't be allowed to drive.
We're all in a hurry, and parking spaces are scarce, but be a little careful, would you? Think how late you'd have been if you had hit me. It could have ruined your whole day, not to mention mine. Please, keep your eyes open, use your turn signals and share the road.

Parking department hears ticket appeals
By Michael Terry
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Once a parking ticket is issued, the chances of getting out of the fine are slim — in fact, few students even try.
The University of Kansas parking department issues about 300 tickets on average each day for infractions ranging from illegally parking on the sidewalk to parking in the wrong zone.
The issuing of a ticket, though, is just the beginning. Anyone issued a ticket by the parking department has the right to file an appeal and attempt to have it reversed.
Of the 58,817 tickets that were issued last year, only 1,489 or 2.5 percent of them were appealed, said Donna Hultine, assistant parking director. Of those tickets that went up for appeal, only 368 or about 25 percent were granted, she said. The parking department made $707,688 from tickets last year.
Hultine said that students were given the opportunity to appeal any ticket they thought they did not deserve.
"A student is given a grace period of up to 10 business days in which they can either choose to pay the fine or file an appeal," Hultine said. "If the student refuses to pay after losing an appeal, we can put a hold on their transcript, enrollment or suspend their parking privileges."
For students interested in challenging a parking ticket there are two options made available by the parking department.
The first is to write an
appeal in essay form stating why they should not have to pay the fine, Hultine said. This also can be done by logging on to the parking department's Web site and filing it there, she said.
Hultine said that the appeal would be reviewed by a panel of judges who worked for the KU traffic court. The student is notified of the decision in two to four weeks, she said.
The panel is made up of first and second year law students who use the appeals process as practice for the courtroom." Hultine said.
The second option is a trial where a first-year law student represents the individual. The case is tried before a court made up of second-year law students acting as judges.
Michelle Morse, assistant chief justice of traffic court, said she thought this forum offered an opportunity for law students to gain experience.
"It not only offers first-year law students an opportunity to mentor with a second-year law student, but it also gives KU students a chance for their voices to be heard."
Hultine said that the traffic court did a good job of reviewing appeals and that the appeals granted showed that there were incidents out there where a ticket should not have been issued.
"We're not perfect, and we know that our department will make mistakes from time to time," Hultine said. "I encourage anyone with a valid complaint to file an appeal."

Reagan biography irks daughter, historians
WASHINGTON Ronald Reagan's eldest daughter said she wouldn't be reading his authorized biography because the writer appears to have wasted an incredible and irreplaceable opportunity to explain him.
The Associated Press
"I have decided that I have read all the fiction about Ronald Reagan I intend to读 — so I think I will pass on this book," said Maureen Reagan in a statement.
Former President Bush pitched in yesterday with criticisms of his own, denying biographer Edmund Morris' claim in "Dutch: A Memoir of Ronald Reagan" that Bush and his wife felt unwelcome in the Reagan White House when he was vice president.
Bush said that he was very close to President Reagan and didn't know where Morris got that information.
"I do not hide the fact that Reagan was frequently an old, spaced-out man, inattentive to details," Morris told CBS' 60 Minutes.
The book devotes about 250 pages of text to the Reagan presidency in its 874 pages of text and notes.
Students challenging KLZR
Reagan biographer Lou Cannon told CBS that Morris' contribution could have been to tell what went on during the presidency and, with very few exceptions, he doesn't.
Morris quoted Bush on a comment made about Reagan and his wife, Nancy. "I kind of wished they'd shown — y'know, a little appreciation. Didn't seem to want us upstairs in the White House."
Morris was granted close access to Reagan during his second term. Although the book is not being released until tomorrow, it already has created a stir with historians and former Reagan aides. In part because Morris inserts himself as a semi-fictional character.

Bartelt said he already had spoken with managers from some of the selected acts, including Ben Folds Five, who previously has performed for such causes. He said Ben Folds Five's manager said the band probably would be interested in performing a benefit in Lawrence.
However, Bartelt stressed that negotiations were tentative.
"I think we've got a really real chance," Bartelt said. "There are a lot of bands who feel really tied to Lawrence."
In addition to the concert, Templin Revolution also is organizing a Save the Lazer discount card. The idea is to get local businesses to offer discounts to card holders in exchange for free advertising on filers and the Templin Revolution Web site, www.angelfire.com/ks/TemplinRevolution.
Jenkins and Bartelt said their ultimate goal was to encourage local businesses to stop advertising on the Lazer. If the card works as they plan, businesses that advertise on the card would acquire more business, and those that still advertise on the Lazer would get less, thus driving all local businesses away from KLZR.
"What we're trying to do is show them it's in their best interest to revert to the old format," Bartelt said. "For capitalist reasons, it's a good idea. It's good for Lawrence. It's also good to support the local music scene, which I think, is one of the strong points of Lawrence and should be defended."
"Last year was one of the most difficult years in my life," said Clinton to ministers gathered at the White House for his annual prayer breakfast. "This occasion, because of what it has come to mean to me, was a very difficult one."
WASHINGTON—A year after confessing to sin and apologizing for scandal, President Clinton said yesterday he had been profoundly moved by the pure power of grace and forgiveness from his family, associates and American citizens.
At the same event last September, a moist-eyed Clinton apologized for the Monica Lewinsky sex-and-cover-up scandal that later led to his impachment in the House and acquittal in the Senate.
He said then that he had sinned and repented.

Yesterday, Clinton thanked people he said had helped him during the past year, including three ministers who had kept a promise to meet with him — both to help him and to hold him accountable.
830 Massachusetts
A somber Clinton lowered his voice and bowed his head at the lectern to address the Lewinsky scandal. The audience of about 130 listened quietly. Some nodded their heads as he spoke.
He said he owed thanks most of all to his wife and daughter but also to the people he worked with, to the legions of American people and to God.
Ministers of all faiths, many in traditional robes, applauded as Clinton concluded.

In response, Serbs blocked Kosovo's main highway and demanded better security. Hundreds of vehicles were backed up for miles on the road from Pristina to Pec, while British soldiers prevented traffic from reaching the roadblock.
Peacekeepers arrest four for explosions that injured dozens
Two men killed in Kosovo market
PRISTINA, Yugoslavia—Two rifle-propelled grenades exploded yesterday in an outdoor suburban market packed with Serbs, killing two people and injuring dozens of others, NATO said.
The Associated Press
n
NATO said 39 people were injured in the explosions, which occurred at about 10 a.m. in the outdoor market in Kosovo Polje, just west of the provincial capital,
Pristina. But head nurse Jasmina Brosic at Kosovo Polio hospital said 47 were injured, five of them seriously. She said the two dead were middle-aged men.
Peacekeepers arrested four people — two of them ethnic Albanians and the others unidentified, NATO spokesman Maj. Ole Irgens said.
Also yesterday, French peacekeepers were searching for three U.N. employees who disappeared Monday night in a Serb-populated part of northern Kosovo, said French military spokesman Capt. Olivier St. Leger. He had no further details.
told Ugoslavia's independent Beta news agency that Kosovo Polje and surrounding Serb villages had been under constant attacks by ethnic Albanians the past days, and blamed ethnic Albanian extremists for yesterday's grenade attack.
Russia's ITAR-Tass news agency said the three — an Australian, a Portuguese and a Kosovo Serb — had been traveling north of Kosovska Mitrovica on a main road to southern Serbia.
NATO peacekeepers have been hard-pressed to control ethnic tensions between Kosovo's minority Serbs and majority ethnic Albanians.
The Yugoslav government in Belgrade blamed the attack on NATO and U.N. leniency and tolerance toward the former rebel Kosovo Liberation Army, which last week disbanded and reformed as the Kosovo Protection Corps. NATO and the United Nations call the new corps a civilian organization, but Yugoslavian officials said the attack proved the demilitarization of the Kosovo Army was far from complete.
Dusan Ristic, a Serb official in Kosovo.
"The KLA may recently have changed its name and undergone cosmetic alterations, but it continues to spread terror and thus prevails in Kosovo," said Stanimir Vukicevic, Yugoslavia's liaison with NATO and the United Nations, according to the state Tanjug news agency.

Indonesian soldier, militia atrocities occur during peacekeepers' watch
DILI, East Timor—As the United Nations prepared to investigate atrocities in East Timor, accounts emerged yesterday that Indonesian soldiers and their militia allies massacred civilians even after a multinational force arrived to impose peace.
Mourners in the town of Baucan clutched at photos of two Roman Catholic nuns and seven others who were on a mercy mission for refugees when they were ambushed and killed.
The two nuns, five church workers and students, an Indonesian journalist and a local driver were killed near Com Saturday after delivering medicine and food to refugees
displaced by the violence that followed East Timor's Aug. 30 vote for independence.
Most of their bodies, found floating in a river, were so badly decomposed that the cause of death could not be determined.
The killings showed that the militias remained uncowed in areas outside the small pockets controlled by the peace force.
"People are very upset and angry over this killing," said Basilio do Nascimento, the bishop of Baucau, East Timor's second-largest city.
Peacekeepers landed in helicopters and swept through Com Monday. They detained 15 men in what was seen as the most successful raid since the Australian-led force arrived.
The operation provided immediate support and security for hundreds of people who have been under duress and threat, Col. Mark Kelly said yesterday.

Year 2000 problems threaten disruptions in Russian economy
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—Past fears of an errant Russian missile launch probably can be put to rest, but year 2000 problems still threaten to cause serious disruptions to the U.S.-Russia crisis hot lines, a Pentagon official said yesterday.
Assistant Defense Secretary Edward Warner, testifying before the special Senate panel on year 2000, said software problems related to the year 2000 could affect full operation of six of the seven direct communications links between the two countries.
"While the schedule is tight, we are confident that the fixes will be installed and tested by December." he said.
Experts testified that while Russia was not as dependent on computers as other countries, the year 2000 problem would deal another blow to the already reeling Russian economy.
Russia is likely to experience power and telecommunications disruptions that affect its financial, industrial and government sectors, said John Beyler, a State Department adviser on Russia.
But, he said. "At this time, we do not foresee severe, long-term disruptions."
Warner said the two militaries agreed that the likelihood was extremely remote that year 2000 computer failures would involve nuclear weapons, support command and control or early-warning systems.
Many nations lag well behind the United States in removing year 2000 glitches from their computers. Russia, in economic and political turmoil, is regarded as one of the countries most vulnerable to serious repercussions. One report last March predicted that Russian utilities would operate at 40 percent capacity and hospitals would deal with nothing but emergencies for two months.
The United States and Russia announced this month they are setting up a Center for Year 2000 Strategic Stability at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs. Colo. The two sides will be able to share missile launch detection information, ensuring against computer-generated misreadings of launches.
The Pentagon's Warner said the Russians also had requested $15.5 million in year 2000-related equipment such as emergency generators, fire trucks and warhead-handling vehicles. The Defense Department considers the requests reasonable, he said.

Actor could capture top political billing
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES—More than seven weeks after he hinted at a White House run, Warren Beatty is still teasing the political and entertainment worlds about his intentions. That is unlikely to change with his highly anticipated speech today, friends and associates said.
Beatty is to be honored in Beverly Hills by a group that shares his liberal philosophy, the Southern California Americans for Democratic Action.
"I've just heard he wants to lay out a specific set of policies and issues and does not plan to lay out his intentions of whether he plans to seek the Democratic nomination or any nomination for president," said Art Torres, chairman of the state Democratic Party.
Several people with close ties to Beatty also said the actor-director was unlikely to tip his hand at the Beverly Hills gathering.
Whatever he does, Beatty will do it under a media microscope. Reporters from across the nation and around the world are thronging to the speech, even though it holds little promise of a bombshell announcement.
C-SPAN, the government affairs cable network, plans to record the speech and air it nationally on Sunday.
to record the speech and air it nationally on Sunday. Beatty will train a spotlight on issues he believes are being neglected by the two Democrats running for president, Al Gore and former Sen. Bill Bradley.
"He's worried the Democratic Party is not discussing some of the issues he considers important and are part of the history and tradition of the party," said Bill Carrick, a democratic political adviser who is not on the payroll of any presidential candidate. "Namely, that people have been left out of the prosperity — low income, poor people have been left out, and that's not been adequately addressed from his point of view in the debate," he said.
New anti-flu drug inhaler to hit pharmacies
SAN FRANCISCO—Junior got the flu? Bad enough for the kid, but parents also know they may be the next to contract the sneezes and fever.
The Associated Press
Now it appears there is something they can do about it. A study released Sunday shows that a new variety of prescription flu drug is the first ever proven to keep family members from getting sick when someone brings home
Relenza, an inhaled powder made by Glaxo Wellcome Inc., should be drugstore shelves on Friday. HoffmannLaRoche's Tamifu, a similar medicine in pill form, also is expected to be approved soon.
the bug.
And that's not the good sniffles news. On Sunday, Hayden also released details of a second study of the first anti-viral medicine that appears to reduce the duration of the cold cold.
"These drugs are a major step forward," said Frederick Hayden, a physician at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Va. "The latest data show that they clearly work for prevention, as well."
Relenza reduces the duration of a bout of flu by a day or two. Unlike the earlier generation of flu drugs, which are powerless to prevent the disease, it works against both major strains of the disease, known as influenza A and B.
Doctors emphasize that the flu vaccine is still the best way to ward off the disease, but the new drugs should help when people fail to get shots.
"This is an important aspect of the drug that could reduce the burden of influenza," said William Craig, a physicist at the University of Wisconsin.
Hayden described the results of a study of pleconaril, an experimental medicine for the common cold. The medicine was developed by Viropharma
Inc. of Exton, Penn.
Doctors found that it shortened the length of a typical moderate-to-severe cold from 14 days to 10 1/2. They looked at various measures of a cold's severity, including the number of tissues used. Pleconaril reduced the number of tissues needed by 23 percent.
One drawback to these medicines is that they must be started within the first day or two of symptoms to have any effect on the disease.
Iraq still has prohibited weapons, ex-inspector says
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—Iraq's ability to wage war with prohibited weapons is undiminished and possibly greater than when U.N. weapons inspections were halted almost a year ago, the former head of the inspection team said yesterday.
Ambassador Richard Butler also said Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had benefited from what appeared to be diminishing international resolve in ensuring Iraqi compliance with U.N. Security Council demands that all weapons of mass destruction in Iraq be eliminated.
In contrast to global weariness with
the issue, Butler said, Hussein continued to have a profound addiction for such armaments, dating from 1988 when he used chemical weapons against an Iraqi Kurd community suspected of disloyalty.
Butler, who testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, became known for his tenacious pursuit of Iraq's weapons stocks declared illegal by the U.N. Security Council when the Persian Gulf War ended almost nine years ago.
Butler and his inspection team conducted searches until last December when Iraq barred their return.
Committee Chairman Jesse Helms, R-
N. C., said a majority of the five permanent members of the Security Council referring to Russia, China and France were not willing to enforce the weapons ban even though the 1991 resolution making them illegal was unambiguous.
A Russian resolution would essentially accept the Iraqi claim that it has disarmed and removed sanctions in exchange for Iraqi acceptance of an ongoing monitoring system.
Another resolution, introduced by Britain and the Netherlands and backed by the United States, would suspend sanctions for renewable periods of six months provided Iraq complied with inspections by a successor U.N. monitoring agency.
Butler credited Hussein with a brilliant propaganda campaign in convincing many governments that the U.N. economic sanctions against Iraq were causing widespread suffering among the Iraqi people.
"Food and medicine are rotting in Iraqi warehouses undistributed while little children suffer and die," Helms said in agreement.
To ease the humanitarian plight of the Iraqi people, the Security Council has allowed Iraq to resume oil sales on a limited basis so long as the proceeds are used to meet the basic needs of the Iraqi people, but reports of suffering continue.

8 seconds to glory
Riders risk life, limb for rodeo fame and fortune
story by sarah hale • photos by christina neff
Caleb Coffman prepares for the saddle bronc competition. If the ride lasts the required eight seconds, two judges evaluate the performances of both horse and rider and a final score is determined.
SUCCESS
Horses and cattle await their turn to perform in the bucking events. Bareback, saddle bronc and bull riding pit man against beast as contestants struggle to stay atop their rowdy opponents.
Cody Askren entered the arena atop a wildy bucking bull. Seconds later he was laying in the dirt, while his hope of placing in Saturdays' bull riding competition turned to dust
Askren stood up in the arena — as his bull continued to buck — and mouthed "damn it."
"I sucked," the 17-year-old high school senior said later.
Askren, who competed in the bareback, calf roping and bull riding events, comes from a rodeo family. His sister is on the Kansas State University rodeo team and his dad does team roping. In order to follow in the family's foot-tens. Askren needs to find a scholarship.
Working with the unruliness of the bulls and other rodeo animals has delayed the success of some cowboys and cowgirls. For others, the wildness adds to the thrill.
Dressed in over-sized cutoff jeans held up by suspenders, long underwear and a red shirt, "Lightning" Larry Deges charged at Jackpot, a bull who bucked off his cowboy in well under 8 seconds.
Deges is a bull fighter, commonly known as the clown, who wrestles with a bull to protect the cowbys. Last Saturday, he hit by a bull, ran from a bull and even chased a bull down the gravel road that runs next to the North Topeka Saddle Club after it had gotten loose. The announcer joked that arena attendants scattered like handbills in a hurricane. It was all in the name of business — the rodeo business.
Rodeos have evolved since the mid-1800s when they first became organized competitions. Although they used to be known as cattle roundups, the competitive flashiness they could offer became clear when cowboys demonstrated their skills with wild broncos or flaired their hair with a rope.
The rodeo's bulls, horses, calves and goats, all provided by a stock contractor, have gradually received better treatment as rodeos have gained popularity. Although the animals are sometimes thrown to the ground, Deges said it didn't hurt them.
For 18-year-old Brian Peak, the allure of
rodeos beckoned when he was age 8. The senior at Chase County High School began by riding calves, then advanced to steers and now rides bulls.
In a dark denim shirt, black vest and brown chaps, Peaked tie a bull rope around his bull before his ride Saturday. The flat braided rope is wrapped around the bull's midsection for the bull rider to hang on to. It is similar to the strap tied around a horse's rib cage for bareback bronc competition, when the cowboy rides without a saddle.
Peak slowly positioned himself on the bull, still behind the gate.
"From this point on, it's just you and the bull," he said "No one else."
For the next 8 seconds, Peak — with his free hand held high — stayed on the bucking bull, sometimes inches above the bull's back.
The more a bull bucks, the better the score — assuming the cowboy lasts the full 8 seconds. The steers have been bred to buck as much as possible.
Peak took third place and a piece of the prize money, which he said was low compared to other rodeos in which he'd competed. All of the hard work and weekends on the road are worth it when the pot gets close to $5,000.
"That's a lot of money for 8 seconds," Peak said.
The first step to the professional rodeo competitions is participating on a rodeo team. Although the University of Kansas does not have a varsity rodeo team, there was a rodeo club between 1968 and 1972, which folded because it lacked money and student support. K-State and other Kansas colleges have teams that compete nationwide.
KU students who want to rodeo independently can do so by registering with the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association.
K-State coach Steve Frazier said his 20-25 member team competed within the Big 12 Conference against Oklahoma State and Texas University, and against smaller schools.
"Southwest Oklahoma State is our biggest rival," Frazier said. "They're the Nebraska of college rodeo."
Saturday's rodee had 128 high school participants, from Kansas and surrounding states, all trying to make rides that would impress college coaches. From barrel racing, racing
around a course of barrels set in a cloverleaf; to steer wrestling, when the cowboy wrestles a bull to its side after jumping from moving horse; both girls and boys tried to follow in the footsteps of professional rodeo competitors.
Askren is no exception. So what's his ultimate goal?
RODEO TERMS
"To make it to the NFR (National Finals Rodeo)," he said. "Where the big dogs are. If that ain't someone's goal, I don't know why they're doing rodeos."
Rodees are an important part of the cowboy way of life. For Deges, Peak and Askren, who have all had broken bones and stitches, the blood shed is just part of the tol.

"It's not an art; it's a sport," Peak said. "It's about self-need and self-want. They can tell you how to ride a bull, but you go out and do it on your own."
It's about being a cowboy.
"Yes, Ma'am," Peak said. "I'm a cowboy."

Kansas offense looking for quick relief
Receivers' return may be what the doctor ordered
Bv Mike Miller
By Mike Miller

Kansas city writer
Kansan sportswriter
A cure for Kansas' offensive woes might come in the form of two fast-acting wide receivers. But only in over-the-counter form not prescription strength.
Junior Termaine Fulton might see some playing time this weekend against Southern Methodist while sophomore Byron Gasaway has begun practicing for the first time in more than two months. Their return would add depth, speed and big-play ability to the offense.
Fulton sprained his ankle during the California State-Northridge game and returned to practice yesterday. He leads the Jayhawks in yards per catch and is third on the team in receptions, despite playing in only half of Kansas' games this year.
"Fulton might be able to go on a limited basis," said coach Terry Allen. "He's not going to be 100 percent, but he could see some time during the game."
Gasaway might prove to be the team's biggest surprise of the year. One of the fastest and largest receivers on the team, he broke his jaw during the preseason when he
aropped more than 200 pounds of weights on his face. Allen had considered applying for a medical redshirt season for the receiver, but Gasaway's speedy recovery has given Allen a reason to smile during a season filled with frowns.
But Gasaway won't return without a little rust.
He ran some pass patterns and caught a couple of passes from quarterback Dylen Smith, which were a little more crisp than expected. "My hands are a little sore." Gasaway said. "He's got an arm."
Junior Eric Patterson, who started for Fulton during the Colorado game, sprained his ankle during the San Diego State game, adding to the list of limping Jayhawks.
Safety Chad Coellner is probable for Saturday's game after sitting out last week's game against San Diego State because of a groin pull.
Tight end Jason Gulley is doubtful for Saturday's game. He had his right knee scoped Monday and the swelling hasn't gone down as quickly as Allen had hoped.
Running back David Winbush, who sprained his ankle during the Colorado game, and left tackle John Oddonetto, who bruised his shoulder against the Buffaloes, will play Saturday.
Oddonetto said he couldn't wait to play it's the best he's felt all year.

'Hawks set to test No.8 Cornhuskers
By Shawn Hutchinson

Kansan sportswriter
When Molly LaMere and the Kansas volleyball team take on No. 8 Nebraska at 7 tonight in Lincoln, Neb., the Cornhuskers may find out what it has been missing.
been missing. LaMere, a sophomore setter, has had a breakthrough season after signing with Kansas out of Papillion-LaVista High School in Papillion, Neb., in 1998. Although LaMere played a limited role in her freshman campaign, she quickly has established herself this season as one of the premier setters in the Big 12 Conference.
Confidence LaMere is among the conference leaders with 677 assists and has helped lead the Jayhawks to a 10-3 record overall and a 1-1 record in the conference heading into tonight's match.
That may be true, but LaMere has been welcome relief to the Jayhawks, who were forced to replace four-year letter-winner Laura Rohde in the off season. Rohde left the program ranked second all-time in Kansas history with 3,646 assists, and second all-time in assists per game with 9.02.
LaMere, after tallying only 15 assists last season, was expected to split time this year with freshman Amy Billings, a highly-touted recruit from Portage, Mich. But Billings broke the patella in her right knee at Kansas' second practice of the season,and will be sidelined until at least next month.
"I've been having great passes all year," LaMere said. "Our hitters are really stepping it up, but all I've been doing is setting the ball up in the air."
Thus, the setting responsibilities fell directly to LaMere, and she has made the most of it.
"When Billings went down, Molly was very anxious and like, 'oh boy, here we go,' said Kansas coach Ray Bechard. "But Molly's responded well, and she's been getting in position. She's been getting after it and playing."
Through 42 games, LaMere ranked first in the Big 12 in assists and third in assists per game with 13.36. She had an 86-assist performance in a four-game loss to Auburn earlier this month, which ranked first in Kansas history and fifth all-time in NCAA history.
Couple that with a 77-assist performance in a five-game match against Tennessee, which also was a Kansas record, and LaMere has her name firmly etched in the record books.
elected in the county.
LaMere will try to add to her assist total tonight against Nebraska. The Cornhuskers are 9-3 overall and 1-1 in the conference this season but are still reeling from a home loss to No.17 Kansas State last week. It was the first time Nebraska lost to a conference team in a regular-season home match since 1977.
Tegan Hawkins 7-0 away from home this season but only 1-61 all-time against Nebraska. The lone win against the Cornhuskers came in 1975 — five years before LaMere was born.
"It would be awesome to get a win just because we're underdogs and no one expects us to," LaMere said. "Even if we could play our butts off and just get a little respect from Nebraska, it would be great."

Billie Jean King, one of the event's main promoters, said that one of the tournament's main goals was to attract more attention to collegiate tennis.
Games won and lost in each match are totaled after the five matches are played. The five matches are played consecutively to promote teamwork among the men's and women's teams.
KANSAS TENNIS
Kansas will send Alex Barragan, Rodrigo Echagaray, Julia Sidorova and Brooke Chiller to compete in the inaugural event.
Teams were selected by a combined men's and women's team rankings. Because the Kansas men's and women's teams both finished in the top three of Region V, they were selected to represent the central region.
Both teams are sending players to other
"I am sending Brooke and Julia, the two seniors," said Kansas women's coach Jenny Garrity. "Since this is the first year of this prestigious tournament, I gave them a choice of whether they wanted to go to this tournament or the Rice tournament. It is going to be a very social event and nationally televised, so since they have the most experience, I gave them their choice."

So— be honest. How many classes have you skipped this week because of the rainy weather?
Columnist and coach request suggestions for intro music
Ive always thought that if I were a boxer, my intro music would have to be "Super Bon Bon" by Soul Coughing. Great bass line, the music pumps you up, and the line "Move aside, and let the man go through," applies so well.
apples I didn't suggest it to Coach Allen because I didn't want anyone playing my song.
If anyone would have shown up for the Hawk Club meeting last week, they would have heard Coach Terry Allen ask the members their opinions on what music should be played during the introduction of the Jayhawks
But I thought about it, and after watching the Jayhawks play Saturday, I've decided that the best song for the football team would be Jay-Z's "Hard Knock Life." Cool tune, and the chorus applies. "Instead of treated, we get tricked. It's a hard knock life."
Time for another reader poll.
Send me your suggestions, serious or not, for the intro music. If I like it and print it, you get a Jonesey award. Extra credit if you remember what a Jonesey award is.

■ I'll go on the record and say it here. Jayhawk vollebble—the
most entertaining KU sport to watch in the fall. Don't believe me? Go to a game. If you still aren't a believer, I'll refund your money. This offer good for KU students only.
I finally understand the alcohol policy at Memorial Stadium. If I'd paid roughly $7,000 to watch that San Diego State game, I'd need to get blasted myself.
Believe the hype. Soccer forward Hilla Rantala is for real. If someone would teach her how to be selfish, she'd score two or three goals a game.
Next time you're walking past Memorial Stadium, take a look at the top of the luxury suites. Is it just me, or does it look like Jabba the Hutt's floating lair in *Return of the Jedi*?
Still not convinced to go to a volleyball game? Here is another reason: No matter how poorly they play, they can't lose by any more than 15 points.
Back to music selection at Memorial. Maybe if we just played the new Lazer our opposition would get sick and go home. Of course, all the fans would be forced to leave a lot sooner than halftime. Or we could just have "Free Jayhawk Ear Plug Night" as a promotion.
Night as a play
■ Wanted: 3,000 students to contribute $10 each for a "scholarship suite" at local college football stadium. Benefits include the right to drink alcohol, a TV set that can be turned so you aren't forced to watch the game, nice comfortable seats with embroidered Jayhawks, and the chance to watch opposition run up the score from a great angle.
Athletics Director Bob Frederick says the reason for allowing alcohol in the scholarship suites is because it is necessary to have alcohol available to sell them.
At last count, I saw 10 scholarship suites sitting empty and collecting dust last game.
Maybe we can talk Frederick into adding strippers and slot machines in the scholarship boxes as well.
Do your mama proud—go to a couple classes this week regardless of what the weather is like.

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 9.
Your friends are going to try to teach you things, and you should pay attention. Something you learn could shake up reality as you know it. So, give that up. Reality could be a fantasy anyway. Maybe it's time you tried something better than the way it used to be.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
You might need to negotiate something's bottom line. If you've already proven you're worth it, ask. Don't quit, though. A Taurus never leaves a job until they've got a better one, remember? And, smile. Being pleasant will mean a lot — pleasantly determined.
Gemini: Today is a 9.
This should be more like it. Things should click right along and fall into place as if by magic, except for one little hassle with your mate. Treat that with good humor. If a change is required, make it together.
Cancer; Today is a 7.
This is a good day to dig through those closets and find a few things you forgot about. Something from far away is just what you need to make your new decor complete. You'll find a few things you can get rid of, too, possibly at a profit. Market them as antiques.
Leo: Today is a 7.
Private time looks scarce today. You're going to be busy with friends or a team effort. You and your mate may be in this together, but it could be this weekend before you have a chance to discuss it. Send each other notes.
Virgo: Today is a 6.
If a change is required, go ahead and make it. You should be respected and paid well for your work. There's only one way that will happen. You have to insist upon it. Be nice, but firm. It'll get easier with practice.
Libra: Today is a 9.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
You've just popped through the rough water to smooth sailing again. Leave all your cares and worries behind as you celebrate a recent victory. It might have been hard, but you made it. Now you can play.
Sagittarius: Today is an 8.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
This is a good day to shop for real estate, furniture or anything else for your home. You'll find the best deals by doing a little sleuthing. For example, check out the bankruptcy sales. Maybe you can help bail somebody out.
Your cage might get rattled, but it's all for the best. Expect your beliefs to be challenged in a rather provocative manner. You may even have to admit you were wrong, but it might be a relief to do that. Don't waste time worrying about it.
Aaarius: Today is an 8.
P
This is your best day all week for wheeling and dealing. You might be able to get an excellent return. The investment is most likely your talent, and somebody wants to buy. The questions are simply what, where, when and, of course, how much?
Pisces: Today is a 7.
男 女
A star is born! Your calmness in the face of adversity and your grace in the midst of chaos have finally paid off. Everybody now knows how wonderful you are, and they're all clamoring for your autograph. One person in particular is darned impressed. Luckily, it's the most important one.
Your place looks like the hub of activity. Everybody's there, and they all seem to be asking questions. Well, they're also having a great time. Don't let anything go for cheap, however. Hold out for what it's worth, whatever it is you're selling.

Fourth player added to recruiting wishlist
Scorpion
Brandon Brooks, a 5-foot-11 point guard from Portland, Ore., told Mike Sullivan of the www.inserdisreport.com that the Jayhawks had expressed interest in him. Brooks, a quick point guard, said that William visited his practice and talked to his coach about the Jayhawks' interest in him.
According to The Insiders Report, a recruiting Web site, Kansas coach Roy Williams has added a fourth player to his list of recruits this off season.
While Brooks has been newly added to Williams' list, South Dakota center Jared Reiner, is expected to make a decision in the early November signing period. According to recruiting guru Bob Gibbons, both Iowa and Utah have turned up the heat on their recruiting of Reiner. Despite their efforts, however, Reiner's coach Dan Sabers has said that he thought Kansas and Iowa were at the top of Reiner's list.
Kansas' two other recruits, Travon Bryant and DeShawn Stevenson, who are both expected to wait until Spring to sign, have been relatively quiet lately. Stevenson was visited by Fresno State coach Jerry Tarkanian and was offered a list of benefits.
Tarkian said that if Stevenson came to Fresno State he would start as a freshman, play 35 minutes a game and take the majority of the shots. The promises apparently vaulted Fresno State to the top of Stevenson's list with Kansas, as he told Gibbons that he had a great visit with Fresno State.
Stevenson will make his official visit to Kansas the weekend of October 15 for Late Night with Roy Williams, where he will be joined by Bryant.

Garrity said she did not expect her players to feel as much pressure as in average team competition, but the rule changes should add some extra stress.
Continued from page 1B
Each singles and doubles match only will be one set played to six, which requires a different mentality.
"You have to get in their right away," said men's coach Mark Riley. "If you lose 6-1, you put your team in a hole that will be hard to recover from. I think Rodrigo and Barragan will be fine, because they are both emotional. You have to be emotional to play a quick game like that because if you get hot, the match will end quickly. In the typical format, you have to stay more consistent because you might have to play for three hours."

Garrritty said that while this might be a problem for some teams, it would not be a problem for Kansas.

Senior season worth wait, player says
Competition kept her on soccer team
By Chris Wristen sports@kanson.com Kanson sportwriter
Lindsey Loeffler's competitive attitude got the best of her.
Loeffler, a senior defender on the Kansas soccer team, came to Kansas with a plan. She was going to play soccer for two years and then go to nursing school.
After those two years were up, Loeffler made a change to her plans.
"I couldn't quit, I was just having too much fun," Loeffler said. "I love competing. Even now knowing that this is my last season, I just can't stop competing."
She continued playing soccer; continued competing and continued working to turn around the struggling program.
The program underwent many changes throughout Loeffler's career, the most significant were three coaching changes, all in an attempt to build a winning program. The first change, and the most emotional one for Loeffler, was losing Lori Walker, the Jayhawks' first coach coach and the one who recruited her. Loeffler said she was very upset when Walker left Kansas.
Then came Dan Magner, a coach who managed only 12 wins in two years at Kansas.

"When you're a senior you think of familiarity, traditions and things you're used to," Loeffler said. "When you become a senior and everything's new again, you don't really feel like you're a senior. There's definitely been a new environment every year I've been here."
opportunity. While opening one door for her, the trip appeared to shut another one. She returned to Kansas to find that Mark Francis was coaching the team, and she was out of a starting job.
Loeffler, who started every game of her high school career and all but two games in college, only had missed starting because of injury or sickness before her senior season. Now she had to compete to win her job back — and it was an uphill battle.
"It was a big deal," Loeffler said. "I was devastated inside, but more than anything it was the biggest challenge for me to show him and prove to the rest of my teammates that that was my job to play marking back.
"I had to prove to myself that if I thought that I was the player that I think I am that I should be out on the field."
Loeffler said she worked vigorously to earn back her spot, but she battled an injured hamstring during the summer — an injury that reached its pinnacle during the first week of practice. The injury reduced her playing time immensely, but Loeffler refused to make excuses. She just worked harder.
"I felt it was my responsibility to be a leader (by showing) if I want to be out there, I've got to do something about it," Loefler said.
What Loeffler did was earn back her starting job and win the approval of her coach. She made her return to the starting lineup against 13th-ranked Georgia.
Lindsey's very competitive in everything we do in practice and on a daily basis," Francis said. "She doesn't like to lose. We need people on our team who have that attitude."
Since Loeffler won back her starting job, the team has gone 3-1, its only loss coming to Georgia. The defense has given up just one goal in its last three games, including two

"With this group of girls and this coaching staff, I'm so happy I stayed and didn't go to nursing school after two years.

Reds win to take division lead
- Edited by Jamie Knodel
The Associated Press
HOUSTON — Pete Harnisch pitched eight strong innings and the surging Cincinnati Reds moved ahead of Houston for the National League Central lead, beating 20-game winner Jose Lima and the Astros 4-1 yesterday.
The largest baseball crowd in the history of the Astrodome, 54,037, saw the Reds win their sixth straight game and send Houston to its third loss in a row.
Despite the defeat, the Astros held their 1.5-game lead against the New York Mets for the wildcard spot. The Mets lost to Atlanta 9-3.
Cincinnati had not been in first place since Aug. 19 when it was tied with the Astros. Houston took the lead the next day.
Harnisch (15-10) helped the Reds improve to 5-0 in the Astrodome this season. Cincinnati leads the season series 9-3 going into tonight's
which matches Steve Parris again ist Houston's Mike Hampton.
REDS
Harnisch allowed four hits and moved to 4-0 against his former team this year. He struck out three and walked none.
Scott Williamson pitched the ninth for his 19th save.
Sean Casey hit his 25th homer
in the first, and the Reds added two more runs in the second against Lima (20-10) on singles by Eddie Taubensee and Pokey Reese.
Lima was in trouble again in the third. Taubensee's infield hit scored Barry Larkin for a 4-1 lead with two out. Lima walked Bret Boone to load the bases but Reese grounded out.
Lima lost his third straight decision since getting his 20th victory Sept. 11 against the Chicago Cubs. Lima went six innings, allowing four runs — three earned — and eight hits with eight strikeouts.
Craig Biggio hit a leadoff single in the Houston first, and Harnisch retired the next 12 batters. Biggio, however, scored on Jeff Bagwell's grounder.

PHILADELPHIA  — Sammy Sosa hit his 62nd home run yesterday, taking the lead from Mark McGwire with five games left as the Chicago Cubs beat the Philadelphia Phillies 8-2.
ossa was in an 0-for-9 slump and was 8-for-40 in the past 11 games when he hit a two-run shot off rookie Anthony Shumaker in the ninth inning. He became the first player in history to surpass 61 homers in consecutive seasons.
He homered for the first time since hitting No. 61 on Sep. 19 against Milwaukee's Hideo Nomo.
Dodger executive fired as team's dismal season closes
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Bob Graziano was fired as president and chief executive officer of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who fell out of contention in June and never approached .500 again.
"While we feel a change is necessary at this time, I have discussed with Bob our interest in creating another position for him at Fox Sports Enterprises," said Rick Welts, president of Fox Sports Enterprises.
Welts said no timetable had
been established for selecting Graziano's successor.
The Dodgers are winding up a disappointing season.
The club started the year with one of baseball's highest payrolls, about $79 million and was favored to win the National League West after an off season of change that included the hiring of manager Davey Johnson and the signing of pitcher Kevin Brown to the richest contract in the history of the sport.
With six games remaining entering last night's contest at San Francisco, the Dodgers (74
82) already were assured of their first losing season since 1992.
Graziano, 41, was promoted to president and CEO on March 19. 1998 the day the sale of the team from Dodgers
to the Fox Group was finalized.
"For 14 years, I have played an integral role with the Dodger organization, from the early years with the O'Malley family until recently with Fox."
the team from the O'Malley family
Graziano said in a statement. "As a professional and unwavering Dodger fan, I will cherish those years."
A native of Los Angeles, Graziano joined the Dodgers on Jan. 1, 1986 as the team's director of financial projects. He was promoted to vice president, finance, on Oct. 28, 1987.
He was responsible for the day-to-day functioning of the business side of the team as executive vice president, a position he was appointed to on Feb. 13, 1997 and held until named president and CEO.

Young's future still unclear
Doctors haven't cleared 49ers' quarterback to play
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Steve Young's latest conclusion after a hit sent him to a neurologist yesterday left the San Francisco 49ers wondering about the future of their star quarterback.
The Associated Press
Young lost consciousness for several seconds after the head-snapping hit in Monday's 24-10 win at Arizona. He left the game late in the second quarter and didn't return.
Trying to dodge pressure, Young caught the full force of a hit from blitzing cornerback Aeneas Williams. The violent blow knocked Young backward, and as he fell, his head hit tackle Dave Fiore's leg before smashing against the ground.
Young was motionless on the field with his eyes shut, and tackle Derrick Deese tugged at his jersey to try to help him up. When there was no immediate response, team trainers and doctors ran onto the field, along with coach Steve Mariucci.
Young, who has a history of concussions, came to after a few moments and walked off the field himself.
At one point, he even tried to talk Mariucci into letting him re-enter the game, but Mariucci didn't allow it. Young then donned a cap and watched from the sideline as backup Jeff Garcia finished.
JETS
The concussion is at least the fourth Young has suffered since 1996. The previous three occurred during a 10-month span, two during the 1986 season and another in the last operative. The three previous concussions in relatively quick succession raised fears about the possible impact on Young's long-term health if he continued playing. Some of his friends and relatives at the time urged him to consider retiring, and there was concern that one more serious hit could force him out of football.
His protection has been spotty, and he has been battered weekly by the opposition. In last week's 28-21 win against New Orleans, Young was hit 21 times, including five sacks, in what was one of the most sustained poundings he had endured in his 15-year
The concussion punctuated what had been a trying season so far for the 37-year-old Young.
In a post-game interview, Young appeared lucid and told reporters he did take the issue of repeated concussions seriously.
The Associated Press
Hall-of-Famer accused of fraud
He was cleared to play following the previous concussions; he's missed only two games because of injury during the past two seasons.
WASHINGTON — Hall of Fame quarterback Fran Tarkenton was among those cited yesterday when the Securities and Exchange Commission announced enforcement actions against 68 people and companies for alleged accounting fraud, including creating phony invoices and inflating earnings.
Tarkenton, the former head of a computer software company, agreed to settle by paying a $100,000 fine without admitting or denying wrongdoing, the SEC said.
The SEC called the series of civil fraud actions its first coordinated assault on financial reporting mis-

ings by millions of dollars in reports for its fiscal year ending June 30,1994.

In addition to the $100,000 fine, the former Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants quarterback also agreed in his settlement to pay $54,187 in restitution. The money will go to a federal court, and shareholders of the company might make claims to it.
deeds. Arthur Levitt, chairman of the market watchdog agency, has been pushing publicly traded companies to improve their financial reporting and avoid manipulating their earnings to meet Wall Street analysts' projections.
The SEC said the cases involved a cookbook for fraudulent accounting, including reporting income from shipments that never were made, shipping products without customers wanting them, creating phony invoices and inflating the value of inventories.
In Tarkenton's case, he and 10 other former executives of his computer software and consulting firm, KnowledgeWare Inc., were accused by the SEC of fraudulently inflating the company's earn-
"The events in question took place about five or six years ago," said his attorney, Robert Thornton, in a statement. "He has long since moved on with his life to other business ventures."
Overall, the SEC took action against 15 companies whose stock is publicly traded, some of whom are in bankruptcy proceedings.

Golfers criticize etiquette of U.S. Ryder Cup fans
LONDON — Good thing there are ropes around the greens — golfers might be punching instead of putting at future Ryder Cups.
The Associated Press
The tournament will degenerate into fistfights unless something is done to stop fans' abusive behavior, said European captain Mark James.
James said Europeans might even refuse to play another Ryder Cup in the United States because of the treatment they received last weekend at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass.
James said a fan spat at his wife and his players were taunted. Colin Montgomerie said his 70-year-old father, who had traveled from Scotland, left the course Sunday because of the merciless heckling of his son.
"If I had been playing myself, I might have lost my temper completely," said James, whose team lost 141/2-131/2 as the Americans produced the biggest comeback in Ryder Cup history.
"Cheering when you miss putts or hit into bunkers is one thing," he said. "But personal abuse is some-
organizers said security would be tighter for the next Ryder Cup in 2001 at the Belryn in England. The competition returns to the United States in 2003 at Oakland Hills outside Detroit.
thing different."
"A lot of players will not be bothered competing in America again." James said in British newspapers yesterday.
Michael Bonallack, secretary of the Royal and Ancient in St. Andrews, Scotland, the guardian of golf rules and tradition, likened the atmosphere in Brookline to a bear pit.
"I felt embarrassed for golf," he said. "I don't want to see it degenerate into a mob demonstration every time we play it."
U. S. Ryder Cup captain Ben Crenshaw, who apologized after the tournament for unruly behavior, did so again yesterday but added that European galleries also were traditionally tough.
"Ryder Cup is about partisan support," Crenshaw said. "Believe me, it's no different than from when we're over there."
Montgomerie, said fans shouted
during his backswing.
"I cannot tell you the number of occasions I had to back off a shot," he said.
Montgomery backed a call by the European captain for alcohol to be banned at the Ryder Cup and other major golf events.
The European team and British media kept up their scathing criticism of the celebrations on the 17th green Sunday by American players, wives and caddies after Justin Leonard made a 45-foot putt that eventually decided the outcome.
The wild scenes came as Europe's Jose Maria Olazabal still had a chance to keep Europe's chances alive with a long putt. He missed.
Montgomerie said Crenshaw's apology was too late.
A barrage of anti-American sentiment continued for a second day in British papers, with headlines such as "United Slobs of America Spat on Mark James' Wife."
"The behavior of the American team, and not just on the 17th green, might have been juvenile, but it certainly wasn't surprised," Daily Telegraph columnist Martin Johnson wrote.
Miami rookie's mother blames church for attempted suicide
The Associated Press
LANSING, Mich. — As Miami Dolphins rookie Dimitrius Underwood recovers from a suicide attempt that left him severely cut and bleeding on a downtown street, his mother blamed what she said was a cult that is posing as a church.
Underwood was able to talk and get out of bed yesterday following surgery Sunday, a Sparrow Hospital representative said. He was listed in fair and improving condition.
Underwood was released by
What police say was a self-inflicted slash to the neck was the latest turn in the life of the former Michigan State defensive end, a first-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings. He left the Vikings in August without explanation a day after signing a five-year, $5.3 million contract.
the Vikings. When Underwood decided to return to football to support his family, the Miami Dolphins picked him up on waivers. He played one preseason game on Sept. 2, then iniured his shoulder.
Underwood's mother, Eileen, told The Miami Herald she wanted to speak out against a church Underwood began attending while at Michigan State. She did not identify the church but said she might take action against it.
"There are controlling spirits in there," said Eileen Underwood, an ordained minister, in a newspaper article yesterday. "I visited one time and the pastor was talking about if a young man and woman in the church are dating and then they break up, he won't let them date anyone else for six months. That's not in the Bible. That's just someone trying to control people. It's a den of witches sitting up in there."
Dimitrius Underwood had been attending Immanuel's Temple Community Church for about a year, the Lansing State Journal reported in August.
The Rev. Phillip Owens, the church's pastor and prophet, walked away from an Associated Press reporter without comment yesterday.
Owens told the State Journal in August that neither he nor his wife, Patricia, had ever counseled Underwood and that no one in the church told Underwood to leave football.
Police reported that the 6-foot- 270-pound Underwood slashed his neck with a knife on Sunday during a visit with his twin 17-month-old children and their mother in Lansing.
The night before, police found him near Lansing Community College after firefighters at a nearby station called them.

Merit Scholar makes campground his home

Wichita sophomore Darren McSweeney's room sits behind a row of trees and next to a picnic table. A leftover tripod from his band supports his dwelling's front end, freeing his Chevy pick-up truck, which he drives to campus each day.
Actually, his residence is a beige, aluminum, 34-by-8 recreational vehicle that doubles as a rolling dorm room and is sitting stationary in a dirt lot at KOA Campgrounds of Lawrence, 1473 Highway 40.
For now, it's home for the National Merit Scholar.
Scholar.
McSweeney lived in a scholarship hall during his freshman year at the University of Kansas. Last August, he purchased the 1988 Holiday Rambler for $9,000 and spent the following year living in Eugene, Ore., and traveling with his Reggae-style band, Honeybee Groove, on the west coast.

However, she said there had been times when up to four University students were living there at the same time.
However, his last-minute decision to return to Lawrence left him few housing options. Staying in his RV seemed easy enough, so he drove to the campground the week before classes began, set up camp and has been living there since.

Budget cuts may slice faculty salary increase
By Clay McCuistion
Kansan staff writer
Kim Wilcox, executive director of the Board of Regents, brought grim news to University of Kansas faculty and staff yesterday.
Kansas faculty are concerned. Wilcox said the state's ongoing budget crunch might threaten the 3.5 percent faculty pay increase promised by the Legislature in its last session. Wilcox addressed about 35 people at noon at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
"You can't pay something if you don't have the money to pay it," Wilcox said.
the money to pay it. We want Gov. Bill Graves announced a 1 percent budget cut last week — a $443.4 million savings for state government. Graves only has the power to enforce the cut for the cabinet offices that report directly to him. Regents are not controlled by the governor, so Grave's announcement was more of a suggestion, Wilcox said.
However, Wilcox said that when the Legislature convened in January, it was likely to turn the suggestion into law, cutting $8.5 million from the Regents system. An economic
resurgence in the next three months may make the cut unnecessary, but Wilcox said he wasn't planning on it.
28
Wilcox said it was important for the University and the other 36 colleges under Regents supervision to be united in keeping up the pressure for salary increases.
The pay increase the Legislature committed to last session would take place in fiscal year 2001. Wilcox said the pay increase was a likely candidate for budget cuts because nearly 80 percent of the University's budget went to salaries.
on it. "I think that's very unlikely," he said.
"It's always hard to get along with your friends when budgets are being cut," he said. "It's even harder to get along when they're people you may not know as well."
Wilcox said the Regents had only one item on their legislative agenda for the upcoming session — salaries. Usually, individual schools have different priorities.
Not this time.
The Unclassified Professional -Staff Association sponsored Wilcox's presentation. Scott Strawn, president of the group, said he agreed with Wilcox that a unified voice was important.
"We have the potential for a much more powerful voice in the Legislature," Wilcox said. "All the focus is on this package."
"University governance, at KU at least, recognizes that everyone needs to play a part in trying to make this a better place," he said after the presentation. "How that works out as far as correlation with other universities — I think
we have a long way to go."
Strawn said state colleges had a significant challenge in presenting a unified front.
"That takes a lot of networking and a lot of hard work." he said.
"I don't know that this action particularly does much damage," he said yesterday morning. "It's only the current year they've asked us to cut so far."
to do so far.
Eakin said he thought that Graves and the Legislature could work together to find the funds for salary increases in future budgets
Barbara Ballard, assistant vice chancellor for student affairs and state legislator, said Monday afternoon that it was too soon to talk about cutting next year's budget.
"Let's see how much money we have when the legislature is in session," she said.

Med Center reiterates commitment to patients
By Amber Stuever writer @kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas Medical Center is trying to clean up the mess made from 1997 allegations that it failed to treat patients.
The allegations claimed that the University of Kansas Hospital, which is part of the Med Center, broke a 1986 federal law making it illegal to deny or delay emergency treatment of Medicare patients or patients without proof of insurance. Last week, the hospital settled the case by paying the government $148,000, although it admitted no wrongdoing.
Since then, Med Center representatives said they were attempting to make sure no such allegations were made again.
made again." "We've cleared up the ambiguity and made something like this will not happen again," said Bob Hallinan, media relations coordinator at the Med Center. "We've made it clear from the emergency room on down what the correct provisions are."
Alwyn Cassil, representative for the inspector general's office at the Department of Health and Human Services, said the hospital was cooperating in ensuring that patients are not mistreated.
"The reality is that by settling this case, it has shown a good effort to resolve this case, and that's a positive thing," she said.
As part of the settlement, the hospital was required to run two ads in the Kansas City Star stating that its emergency room was open to everyone.
"We ran these public ads to state our position clearly that we treat anyone who comes in, in regardless of ability to pay," Hallinan said.

Since the allegations were made, the hospital has come under the authority of the University of Kansas Hospital Authority Board, changing it from a state-run to a privately-owned institution.
Levi Kinderknecht, Park junior, said that the allegations that the hospital mistreated patients would not affect his choice to attend the Med Center after getting his undergraduate degree.

Huffing up the Hill is good exercise
—Edited by Kelly Clasen
Special to the Kansan
By Mike Zielke
Having a campus on a hill is a perfect excuse to get the heart pumping.
excuse to get the heart pumping. Every day thousands of University of Kansas students, faculty and employees climb the Hill to class and to work. Some even run if they are running late. Some ride bikes, and still others choose to drive and park as close as possible or ride a bus. Climbing the Hill on bike or foot can leave a person gasping for breath and the heart pounding. But is it really a workout? Is it visible to make the physical effort?
"I think the physical benefits of walking to class are clearly worthwhile," said Jeffrey Potteiger, associate professor and director of Exercise Physiology Laboratories.
laboratories. Recent studies by the surgeon general have found that people should accumulate 30 minutes of physical activity a day. But they don't have to do it all at once.
back to your car. I told you a hike up the Hill can take from seven to 15 minutes with an elevation gain of more than 100 feet, depending on the approach. If walked every day, that would add up to almost 8,000 feet per semester.
"That 30 minutes a day could be a 15-minute walk to class and a 15-minute walk back to your car," Potteler said.
"I'd like to think it's a workout," said Stephanie Petersen, Houston graduate student.
dent.
Carrying a large backpack up the Hill from the parking lots by Memorial Stadium to Strong Hall, Petersen's heart rate climbed from 78 beats-per-minute to 180.
180. Jerome Wilhort, Salina junior, said: "I sure hope it's a workout because yesterday I walked up the Hill three times."
I walked up the Hill from Wilhort approaches the Hill from the south and climbs more than 150 steps from Robinson Center to Stauffer-Flint Hall. His heart rate rose 60 beats-per-minute on his climb to class.
A a few extra minutes spent walking to class also could add years to people's lives
lass also counteract in Recent studies in The Journal of the American Medical Association found that physical activity can reduce greatly the chance of cardiovascular disease, cancer and even ward off death.
The new scientific evidence points to a link between regular physical activity and a wide array of physical and mental health benefits, including living longer.
A recent article in the journal said that an active lifestyle did not require a regimented, vigorous exercise program. Instead, small changes that increase daily physical activity will enable individuals to reduce their risk of chronic disease and may contribute to an enhanced quality of life.
"Any physical activity that raises your heart rate, like walking up the Hill, will benefit both the individual and society as a whole," Potteiger said.

Homecoming parade to alter bus routes
Students who ride KU on Wheels buses to get to and from campus may have to use a different bus stop tomorrow.
Buses will not run on Jayhawk Boulevard from 2:10 p.m. to 3:10 p.m. tomorrow because of the homecoming parade. Holly Krebs, KU on Wheels coordinator, said students could use three alternate sites to board or exit the buses — at 12th Street and Oread Avenue, 15th Street and Naismith Drive, and Stratford Road and West Campus Road.
"We'll try to keep pickup times as close to the usual times as we can," she said. "I'm not too worried since it's on a Friday afternoon, which is probably the least busy time."
Krebs said all routes should be back on schedule by 3:30 p.m.
Although the parade does not begin until 2:20 p.m., Krebs said KU on Wheels and the Lawrence Bus Co. wanted to allot themselves a little more time.
"Every year we plan for homecoming, and only in one year out of the past five have things gone as planned," she said.

Master's thesis exhibit of hemp fabric on display
Masses of stitched hemp fabrics fill the gallery at the Art and Design Building. They are a part of "Hupsoma" all pride that rises up," Jum-Sook Kim's master of fine arts thesis exhibit in textiles, which is on display until tomorrow. Kim, Korea graduate student, was inspired by 2 Corinthians 10:6.
The space is divided into two distinct sections. Large bundles of fabric unroll across the floor forming neat rows. Across the gallery, huge expanses of cloth drape from the ceiling gathering onto the floor.
"The horizontal section represents the earth, early nature of human beings," Kim said. "In the vertical section, I wanted to emphasize man's ambitious side that is constantly trying to overcome his imperfection by exalting himself to the position of the most high."
Kim said she wanted visitors to experience the extreme emotional contrast between the horizontal and vertical components by not only just seeing them but also by going into the spaces between the fabric and experiencing them. She said people had commented that the horizontal section resembled a typical Kansas hayfield because each roll looked like a bale of hay.
Two-dimensional representations made of jacquard woven pieces also
are displayed in the cases along the outside walls of the gallery.
Kim has worked closely with Cynthia Schira, a retired professor of design; Mary Ann Jordan, associate professor of design; Maria Velasco, assistant professor of art; and Roger Shimomura, distinguished professor of art, on the project since the autumn of 1998.

New services available for commuters,parents
University of Kansas students who are parents or commuters have new resources available to them. The Student Development Center is offering two new automated e-mail lists, one specifically for students who commute to campus and the other for students with children.
Laura Morgan, assistant director of the center, said that by getting on the lists, nontraditional students would be able to plug in and overcome the difficulty of knowing what's happening on campus.
Commuters also can use their lists to arrange for backup transportation or to find an emergency ride to campus.
"There are so many commuters now," Morgan said. "Students can do trade-offs to make the distance easier to deal with."
For students with children, childcare information is available, as well as feedback from other student-parents regarding various childcare offerings.
Pinde Fu, Beijing junior, said he and his wife had spent considerable time and hassle trying to find child care. He said they would join the e-mail list
"This information is very important, especially the opinions from other parents," he said.
Students with questions about the automated e-mail lists or about other programs for nontraditional students can contact Laura Morgan at 864-4064

City, campus departments participate in disaster drill
The KU Public Safety Office, in conjunction with 1.3 departments from the University of Kansas and the City of Lawrence held a tabletop disaster planning exercise yesterday at Memorial Stadium.
"We had every department participating in this exercise that would normally be involved in a disaster situation," said John Mullens, assistant director of the KU Public Safety Office
Representatives from the chancellor's office, Lawrence and Douglas County Fire and Medical, Facilities Operations and University Relations were among the groups involved in the exercise.
Mullens said that the stadium was chosen as the site because it was well protected from the elements and
had emergency generators that could be used in a disaster situation when power might not be available.
Sgt. Troy Mailen of the public safety office said that the stadium would be used as the command center. Department heads or someone with the knowledge of a department would come to the stadium in crisis situations, and began accessing the situation, he said.
Mailed said that some of the incidents covered during the four-hour exercise included the gathering of crowds, shots fired and possible explosions. These were not just isolated incidents; they came in one after another and each department had to decide on what course of action should be taken, he said.

African leader begins jailing homosexuals
KAMPALE, Uganda—President Yoweri Museveni has ordered the arrests of homosexuals in Uganda saying U.N. human rights conventions do not necessarily apply to Africa, a newspaper reported.
Homosexuality is illegal in Uganda and carries a maximum punishment of life imprisonment.
"I have told the Criminal Investigation Department to look for homosexuals, lock them up and charge them," Tuesday's edition of the government-owned New Vision newspaper quoted him as saying.
Two recent and highly publicized gay marriages in Uganda appeared to prompt Museveni's remarks during a speech Monday to regional legislators meeting in the capital.
The Ugandan leader criticized the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, saying it had not been drawn up with the participation of African countries and therefore was not universal to Africa.

Student Senate waits for committee approval to criticize radio station
By Chris Barniger
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A resolution condemning Lawrence radio station KLZR 105.9 for changing its format will have to wait another two weeks for Student Senate's approval.
The resolution went before the Student Senate Executive Committee, which has the power to place legislation on the agenda even if it has not been reviewed by any of the five standing committees.
StudEx voted unanimously last night to send the resolution to committees.
Sarah Schreck, the resolution's sponsor, said pre-empting committees was within Senate's rules and regulations.
Pluses and regulations.
"StudIEx obviously decided we needed to follow the more proper procedure," she said. "This wouldn't have been completely unheard of."
Schreck said the delay would give her an opportunity to edit the legislation's wording.
"If we're sending this to other places like media outlets, we don't want it to be a joke," she
said, "I think in the end, we'll come up with a little more polished resolution. If it had failed because of the wording, it would have been hard to bring it back up again."
o bring back up at the Marlon Marshall, StudEx chairman, said the legislation was not urgent enough to justify skipping the committee process.
"StuddEx felt there was no rush on the bill," he said. "We usually only do that in an emergency situation. We want students to have their say before it comes in front of Senate."
Marshall declined to comment if he thought the resolution had merit.
"If students really feel the Lazer is prominent and feel Student Senate should take it up, that's great," he said. "More power to 'em."
In other business, Senate approved a bill to allow non-senator committee members to co-sponsor legislation.
The bill charges committee chairpersons and vice chairpersons to pair committee members with senators as their mentors. Moreover, the bill allows non-senator co-sponsors speaking rights to defend their bills in front of Senate.
"people are very enthusiastic about it," said Eric Rush, one of the bill's co-sponsors and chairman of the Senate committee board. "Any time Senate can empower members of committees,

Jason Thompson, chairman of the student rights committee, said he expected non-senators to embrace readily their new rights.
"Senators don't always know everything about the issues or the student's takes on what's going on," he said. "I think committee members will take this to heart."
Senate also approved a resolution requesting the parking department to issue two-for-one parking passes for students living in married housing at Sunflower Apartments or Stouffer Place.

Provost divvies up Graves' budget cuts
Heavier burden placed on administrative units to spare academic side
By Nathan Willis
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The provost's office has determined how to divide up $2 million in budget cuts ordered last week by Gov. Bill Graves among academic and administrative units at the University of Kansas.
Provost David Shulenburger sent a letter Monday to deans and other unit administrators informing them of how much they would need to cut their budgets. The letter also put into effect an immediate hire freeze.
BUDGET CUTS
Deans and vice chancellors can make exceptions to the freeze as they see fit, and the provost's office will exempt individual units from the freeze once they have identified the sources of all the funds they will cut, said Lindy Eakin, associate provost for support services.
Eakin said the provost's office had calculated the amount by which each unit would need to cut its budget based on a two-tiered
Chancellor Area $60,844
Provost Area $124,120
Facilities Management $109,140
Research and Public Service
$101,417
KS Geological Survey $88,000
Student Affairs $43,088
Information Services $96,981
Academic Services $38,006
Support Services $69,711
Administrative Affairs $57,153
Libraries $121,073
Edwards Campus $6,113
Continuing Education $18,750
formula. All academic units have to cut their current budgets by .945 percent, and all administrative units have to cut their budgets by 1.134 percent.
Grad School/International Program
$11,518
School of Architecture $29,104
School of Business $68,618
School of Education $71,928
School of Engineering $102,851
School of Fine Arts $79,281
School of Journalism $23,199
School of Law $59,482
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
$554,390
School of Pharmacy $44,627
School of Social Welfare $25,960
"We were trying to protect the academic core part of the budget," he said.
Eakin said administrative cuts were made at a higher rate because the University wanted to spare the academic community from the budget cuts as much as possible.
Still, many of the college deans were concerned about the impacts of the budget cuts on their schools, he said.
TOTAL $2,005,354
Sally Frost Mason, dean of liberal arts and sciences, was one of those concerned. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has to cut $554,390 from its budget — more than a quarter of the University's total cuts and by far the most of any academic or administrative unit in terms of sheer dollar amount.
"We've been instructed to be sure that services to students remain in tact, and we'll do our best to make sure that happens," she said. "But in all honesty, this is a very painful cut."
Frost Mason said the college had
to find money in its budget that had not yet been allocated or spent — a difficult task partway into the year.
She also said that of the college's budget, only about $2 million was not tied up in personnel and was used for operating expenses.
"A cut of this magnitude would wipe out more than 25 percent of the entire operating budget for the year," Frost Mason said.
Diana Carlin, interim assistant provost for academic services, said the departments under her supervision also were concerned about the effects of the cuts. Academic services, which includes the Office of Admissions and Scholarships, New Student Orientation and Freshman and Sophomore Advising, will have to slice $38,006 from its budget.
"Everyone is asking about the cuts," she said.
Eakin said the one unit exempted from any cuts was custodial services.
"The chancellor exempted custodial services because we've been through that before, and the salaries are so low and turnover is so high," he said. "And the result is so unappealing."

Latina editor to speak on Latino leadership
Kansan staff writer
By Lesley Simmons
Journalist Sandra Guzman wants to bring awareness to what she calls the synergy taking place among newspapers, magazines, television and the Internet.
She will address this topic as the keynote speaker for the University of Kansas' celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month at 7 p.m. tomorrow at the Kansas Union Ballroom.
Guzman, whose speech is entitled "A Latina Perspective in Media Convergence and Hispanic Influences in America," has an insider's perspective on the news media. In her career, she has worked as a reporter for a Spanish-language newspaper, in public relations as senior spokeswoman for a former New York City controller, in television as a
public affairs producer for the Emmy Award-winning program, Enquête 47, and now as editor in chief for Latina, a bilingual life-
geared toward
Hispanic women. The magazine has a national circulation of 225,000.
Guzman said she would take a Latino perspective in her speech, which will include Latino leadership in the new millennium, the cur

rent Latino explosion and the differences between working for the mainstream press and the Hispanic press.
Guzman: Will speak tomorrow on Latino leadership
She also will speak about issues
involving women in the workplace.
Gloria Flores, associate director of the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center and advisor for Hispanic-American Leadership Organization, said she first became familiar with Guzman by reading her letters from the editor that appear at the beginning of each issue of "Latina."
Guzman said she looked forward to sharing her experiences in journalism with students and speaking about the opportunities in the field.
Guzman was born in Puerto Rico and raised in New Jersey. She attended Rutgers University where she received bachelor of arts degrees in history and philosophy. She has worked in New York City for several years.
Sne said Guzman would be able to educate students about both Hispanic culture and journalism.
Guzman's speech is co-sponsored by the Hispanic-American Leadership Organization, the School of Journalism and Amanza, a minority organization for journalism students.
"I'm interested in her coming here," said Jerry Jackson, Lansing senior. "It gives a fresh perspective on the magazine industry any time we can get someone to come to the school from the workplace to give perspective from outside of academia. It's a good thing."
Ballet Folklorico of Topeka will perform dance routines before Guzman's speech. The routines will include authentic dances from different regions in Latin America. A story, narrated by the director, will accompany many of the dances.
The event is free and open to the public.

NASA should share its wealth to help mend problems on Earth
NASA recently lost a $125 million probe that had been gathering information near Mars. This comes six years after NASA lost a similar Mars probe, which cost about $1 billion. This money could have spent to correct some major problems on Earth.
We do not discount the scientific contributions of space exploration or criticize NASA's human error, but we do believe much of NASA's budget could be better spent on the Earth.
Certainly, NASA's well-chronicled efforts have greatly improved the understanding of our solar system and should not be ignored. NASA's efforts also have created advancements on Earth, including improved
Lastest NASA blunder should give cause to rethink the our spending on space exploration
passenger planes, pacemakers and fire extinguishers.
The editorial board's position comes from the innumerable social and political problems in our own country and world. Hunger, homelessness, crime and a lack of education are a few of the societal ills that could be eased with money from NASA's budget.
to the aforementioned problems.
The value of conquering space is rendered fairly empty when compared
As a people, we should become far more adept at dealing with earthly problems before we attempt to solve those in space. We should not let the collective ego-rush or thrill experienced from being space explorers distract us from the suffering of fellow human beings. Our national greatness would be far better measured by the ability to fight poverty than our ability to reach other planets.
In the end, the knowledge gained through space research is outweighed by its huge cost in time and dollars.
This effort and money could be far better spent in the context of our collective, earth-bound, everyday lives.

More awards like ExCEL are needed
Campuswide recognition of student dedication and contribution to the University of Kansas and the Lawrence community is not given frequently enough. The ExCEL award, which stands for Excellence in Community, Education and Leadership, achieves the goal of student recognition.
This weekend two KU students will be honored with ExCEL awards during halftime of the homecoming football game. Brenda Chung, Belle Plaine junior, and Eric Rush, Topeka junior, are deserving of the award and are good examples of the qualities it embodies.
EXCEL is in its ninth year. The award includes a $500 scholarship financed by the Board of Class Officers. More important than the scholarship, however, is the prestige and deserved recognition.
Camille Payne, Student Union
Activities vice president for
Eric Rush and Brenda Chung are good examples of students who deserve recognition
University Relations and judging committee member, said the ExCEL award recognized students who made a difference.
"I instead of a popularity contest for a homecoming king and queen, it replaces that by honoring people who deserved to be honored for their outstanding commitment to the University and the Lawrence community," Payne said.
of membership development for SUA, a volunteer in Guatemala and a student representative for the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center.
This year's winners set examples and inspired other students to get involved.
Rush's commitment to the community also is outstanding, Payne said. Rush has contributed more than 750 hours of community service at a veterans hospital, is a College of Liberal Arts and Science student senator and a National Merit Commended Scholar.
Chung demonstrated quality in every facet of her life, Payne said. She has been a site leader for alternative spring break, vice president
Chung and Rush are not the only students who deserve recognition. More awards such as the ExCEL awards should be imparted to spotlight remarkable student involvement. Recognizing student achievement during the homecoming football game is commendable, but there are too many other opportunities, like football and basketball game halftimes, where the opportunity to give student recognition is missed.

Allen has good character
Feedback
This is in response to Jason Franchuk's column in Monday's Kansas regarding Coach Terry Allen not being a good role model and his lackadaisical attitude, I like many Jayhawk fans, was disappointed by Saturday night's loss to San Diego State. Losing is never good for morale. However, winning is not the only basis on which a coach should be judged. This is especially true when you are referring to what type of role model a coach is for his/her players and for other students. I would like to explain what type of role model Coach Allen is for his players, other students and families of university students.
This weekend was Parents Day/Family Weekend at KU (not that you would know because the Kansan failed to cover an event that affected more than 600 families). One of the new events was a Sunday Brunch. Last
spring I invited Coach Allen to attend this brunch as an honored guest. He quickly responded, saying he would be happy to attend. After Saturday night's loss I没必要 sure if I would see Coach Allen at the brunch. After all, not showing up would be a way to avoid any further embarrassment and it would be the "lackadaisical" thing to do. At exactly 11:30 a.m. Coach Allen walked in to the Kansas Union Ballroom and did his best to keep his head high and even managed to smile. Dr. Bob Frederick put it best when he was speaking to the brunch crowd and told the following story:
"Last night after the game I talked with Coach Allen and told him that if he would not be able to make it to the brunch on Sunday that I would relay his regrets to the participants and organizers. Coach said, 'No, I'll be there.' This tells you what kind of man Terrell Allen is. It shows he cares about KU and more importantly cares about it's students."
cation and loyalty to KU is the kind of role model this University needs more of. I suppose his commitment to speaking at the Hawk Club was an example of a lackadaisical attitude? What about the hours of community service he performs without asking for anything in return?
A person that shows this type of dedi-
Attacking a coach's character when you are under-informed is, at best, irresponsible journalism and, at worst, sloppy, amateur and yellow. I am not making a judgment of your character, Jason, simply make a point that you should assess Coach Allen on his ability to coach, not whether he's a good role model. To take one game out of context and apply it to a man's character is unfair. Your job as sports columnist is to inform and be informed. Perhaps if you were, you would have an idea what kind of role model Terry Allen is.

Perspective
Gorilla thumping aside apartment life is alright
Apartment living is an experience. One well worth partaking, despite the neighbors. This entry in my journal represents a typical day.
Wednesday, 07.13 hours. Awakened for the third day this week by the incessant coughing of the
emphysemic Oldsmobile in the parking lot. Why doesn't that girl get the old clunker fixed? Well, at least it's not the half-dozen or so car alarms heard at daybreak on Daisy Hill. Still, I won't be able to get back to sleep. Two perfectly good hours of sleep lost. .

07:35. After a solid twenty minutes of hacking and sputtering, she finally managed to get the piece of scrap-metal running, only to have it stall. It's alive; it's dead. Now alive; now dead. Living one minute.
then just another steel corpse. If she doesn't get that hunk of junk fixed soon, I swear I'm going to take a sledgehammer and put it out of its misery. Just try me.
07. 37. The engine's running and has left the building. The apartment complex is silent once again. Except for one of the 35-year-old bikers above us; he's taking his shower as usual. All I can hope for is that he doesn't use all the hot water.
0821. The Weather Channel forecasts light showers all day, with highs in the low seventies. Jennifer says I'm insane to walk to class every day. I'm sure to get a great big I-told you-so smile when I come home sick and soothed wet. It was so much easier when home was only a halfmile away, instead of two. Maybe I should get a bus pass.
14:32. Luckily, I didn't get caught in the rain—for once. I almost stepped on the "little rat" as I entered the building. The girl upstairs thinks her scrawny, hairless, freak-for-a dog is so cute. My rabbit back home could eat that thing for breakfast.
Management left another fluorescent flier between the doorknob and the jam. Our flier's twin sits in an identical spot on the door across the hall. I'll bet anyone it's still there tomorrow when I
leave for class. Does that guy actually live in his apartment, or is he just visiting?
22:00. The lamp from the living room produces enough light for me to study on the balcony. I thought that maybe the traffic outside would drown out the noise from upstairs, but it hasn't. Now I find myself eavesdropping on their conversation as they move onto the balcony above — something about Final Fantasy on Nintendo and who almost killed who in a game they played three weeks ago.
The announcement explains problems in the laundry room and claims that "the management is sorry for any inconveniences this may create." I haven't done laundry in more than two weeks out of sheer sloth, and now I'm going to have to get in my car and drive to a laundromat.
20:36. I'm studying for once, but the racket from upstairs keeps pulling me away from the books. Do they keep live gorillas up there or what? Either those middle-aged bikers are more than 300 pounds a piece or their mothers taught them to stomp when they walk. I just know that one of these days my worst nightmare will come true — sitting on the toilet, and one of them will come crashing through the ceiling, big and sweaty, and wearing way too much black leather. I hope it's not any time soon.
22:18. I move back inside as cigarette ash falls through the slats overhead and onto my stack of Xeroxed readings.
1704. My laundry's clean, which is more than I can say about the apartment downstairs. It seems the guy tried to cook for his girlfriend and ended up fumigating the place. Our neighbor's flier hasn't moved. No surprise there.
23:48. As I lay here I think— living in an apartment is different than the dorms. I'll give you that. It's quieter. The neighbors keep to themselves, if they show themselves at all. There's not a sense of community, at least not the kind we had at the residence hall last year. But, you know what, it's more real here. It may not always feel comfortable or safe. It may not always feel like home. But it is home, at least for now, and it'll only be as good as we make it.

Hey whipper-snappers, technology is overrated
This computer thing is getting out of control. Like many technology-wary folks, I have recently stepped boldly into the 1980s and accepted that computers will remain an essential component of life as we know it — probably far beyond the duration of my own existence. I have even come to embrace the enjoyable and convenient facets of the cyber-world such as e-mail, spellcheckers and Sheryl Crow Web sites. But as central processing units gain increased control of every area of the average human being's life — finances, education, communication, pornography
— someone needs to think about where to draw the line. Look at some of the contemporary trends in education.
During a recent family visit, my younger brother and I were looking through boxes of grade school mementos and awards. In my second grade pile, I found an already yellowed sheet of thick paper that read, in calligraphy, "For Outstanding Penmanship." My brother, who is a high school freshman, was perplexed. Apparently he never had devoted time to handwriting in his elementary schooling.
Sarah
smarsh

opinion@kansan.com
Alarmed, I contacted a number of Wichita grade schools. The resounding response to my concern was that, as emphasis on computer education increases, focus on such barbaric practices as handwriting has lessened. Remember asking, "Does it have to be in curvature?" Maybe pretty letters aren't as practical as typing skills, but I worry about putting so much trust in the capability of a machine that de-emphasizes human skills. ("Grandma, what's a pencil?" "Oh, sweetie-pie, that's what we wrote with back when I was just a little whisper-snapper.")
My journalism class depends largely on the utilization of computers. Our participation grades are greatly derived from our messages to the class listserv and grade-essential projects rely on Internet research and communication. Lecture outlines are
posted on the class Web site, and everything from weekly reading assignments to the class syllabus are there as well. In fact, students are discouraged from taking notes during the professor's lectures because, "it's on the Web site."
These things in and of themselves are not bad. The latter in particular has a seemingly considerable benefit: A student may spend class time thinking instead of racing a pen across a notebook. But many people simply remember key information better after writing it down. Isn't that why we take notes in the first place?
And while the class listserv provides a useful extension of class time, and Internet research provides countless sources for the up-to-date information a would-be journalist needs, these technological advancements threaten the tried-and-true formulas of a good old-fashioned class discussion and hours of research in the stacks at Watson Library ("Grandma, what's a whipseramper? My spell-checker can't find it.").
Not even my piano class is immune to chips, discs, programs, formats and other fun cyber-stuff. One of our first assignments was to format a disc for our electronic piano keyboards. Many of the songs we learn are required to be saved outside of class and then handed in on disc. Yes, this is convenient and kind of neat in a lot of ways, but is it really beneficial to the student?
I am not anti-computer. And the fact that I don't own one probably has something to do with my hesitance to comply with the movement to make computers an indispensable element of our education. Anyone who values a good discussion within the walls of a classroom or the smell of an old copy of Shakespeare's Complete Works would agree that a balance must be found between the scholastic methods of the computer age and all those successful ones that lay before it. With many universities
including the University of Kansas — considering policies for mandatory student ownership of computers, and dependence on PCs increasing every day, this balance will be hard to find.
Let us not forget that books and pencils need not be year-2000 compliant.

Student sees ups and downs in RV
Continued from page 1A
slept in tents when he was younger.
But now his long-term residence offers more than a nylon roof and a zip-up door.
"It's basically like a regular apartment," McSweeney said.
In some ways, anyway.
McSweeney said he preferred the scholarship hall environment and the company of his classmates to the quiet of his RV.
"It's nice sometimes, but I'm always in town begging people to do things with me because I don't like being alone," he said.
His neighborhood changes weekly as other RV-dwellers come and go.
"I really got to know my neighbors," he said. "I introduced myself, got to know them a bit, and then they said 'We're leaving in two days.' Another lady said she didn't come talk to me because she knew she was leaving in three days."
RV amenities
McSweeney has the usual utilities that come with a house or apartment, including a stove, an oven, a microwave and a club
along one wall in the kitchen area.
Aeros the narrow aisle is a small booth with two bench seats and a table that converts into a bed.
There is also a living room with a couch, a small armchair and a corner entertainment center just large enough for a 13-inch television and two small speakers.
McSweenley can detach the cushions and open a compartment underneath the kitchen benches to access extra storage space, as he can with a compartment under his bed hidden by a hinged door.
But even with these areas and several closets throughout the RV, it doesn't offer much room for the many items college students tend to accumulate.
"This type of arrangement makes you become a minimalist when it comes to personal belongings," McSweeney said.
He has a couple of personal items displayed on a shelf above one of three living-room windows, including a small wooden clock and a framed painting of an elderly man praying over a loaf of bread.
"It's really comforting," he said of the painting. "My mom had it ever since I was a kid."
His guitar, tucked away in its

case, sits against the wall in the living room. There is also a copy of a biblical verse posted on the bathroom mirror.
Although these few items offer McSweeney a taste of home, the RV's wooden cabinets and rust, brown and off-white floral upholstery provide a muted decor that clashes with his visions of psychic delicaters and a mirrored disco ball.
"There's not much wall space, but it's just a little too homey for me," he said.
After everything has been packed and put away, McSweeney's home is still a large, aluminum box.
Braving the weather
"It's impossible to sleep when it'
raining because of all the noise," he said.
The RV gets drafty in the fall and winter — a problem that he has attempted to solve in the past by taping foam over the windows.
"I'll just chain myself to a tree," he said, laughing.
There also is the potential threat of tornadoes, which he said did not worry him.
But McSweeney said if a tornado ever did come close, he probably would seek shelter at the campground owner's home, which is located on the property.
Finding a new home
McSweeney said that he liked the privacy and relaxing atmosphere he finds in his RV but that he planned to live in an apartment or house with a high school friend next semester.
He said he would put his RV on the market between semesters or park it in his mom's yard in Wichita if it didn't sell right away.
"There's always the possibility of a spring break road trip to Vegas," he said. "This place was much more fun to travel in than just to live in."

mart cards not bright enough to locate owners
By Jim O'Malley
Special to the Kansan
The cards may be smart, but their owners are sometimes forgetful.
Every day, the KU Card Center on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union receives anywhere from five to 20 KUIDs, said Ben Goodell, a Lawrence freshman who works at the center.
Although center employees look up the owners in the directory and call them daily, Goodell said the cards accumulated.
"Right now we have about 70," he said as he held up a four-inch-tall stack of cards held together with a rubber band.
Goodell said the most common places where students lose cards were the copy machines in the libraries, the check-in desk at Robinson Center, residence hall cafeterias and vending machines.
But he said lost cards were found all across Lawrence and turned in to the center.
"Also sometimes people get them jammed up in the machines," Goodell said. "Service people and the people who load up the machines find them and turn them in here."
The University of Kansas
Some cards are lost for good, though, and replacing a card costs $15. Goodell said students who replaced cards could choose to get their old KUID photos, which are stored on computer, or they could have their photographs taken again at no extra charge.
"Some people will pay the $15 just to get a new photo," he said.
If students choose to get their old photos on the new KUID, the proc

ess takes about 90 seconds.
Sarah McClymont,

Neb., freshman,

McClymont said she was satisfied with her old photo.
Goodell said that lost cards often were turned in after students already had paid for replacements.
"People don't want to wait because they've got things to do and books to check out," he said. "Some guy came back five minutes after he got his second ID saying he lost it, and it was turned in a few
days later."
Jeanie Schaller, Manhattan freshman, works in the copy center on the second floor of Watson Library. She said four or five cards were turned in there a day.
"The most common thing is leaving them in the copying machines," she said.
She said many people realized they had left their cards in the copy machines, came right back and found their cards still at the copy center.
"Cards are sent here first." Schaller said. "If they aren't picked up after two or three days, they're sent over to the card center."
Schaller said she was impressed by the honesty of the people who found lost cards because some of the KUIDs double as bank cards.
"There's money on the cards, and they turn them in," she said.

IN THEATERS OCTOBER 8
NEW YORK— The investigation into a rare strain of encephalitis that has killed four people in New York is growing, with experts testing dead birds along the East Coast to find out whether the virus has spread.
With winter approaching, the birds may be migrating to other parts of the country from New York, where 37 people have tested positive for the virus, health officials said Tuesday.
The mosquito-borne West Nile virus, never before recorded in the Western Hemisphere, probably entered the United States in infected birds, he said.
"It's possible that it could be seen in other parts of the country," said Dr. Ned Hayes, an epidemiologist for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Spread of virus from New York concerns experts
The Associated Press
The cause of their ailments was reclassified Tuesday by the CDC, which originally blamed the similar St. Louis strain.
So far, the virus has not appeared in any of the dead birds — mostly crows — being tested in areas from Maryland to Florida, said Roger Nascel, a CDC entomologist.
"Crows die every day, but there are many, many causes, from diseases to shotguns." Nasci said. "This is a development situation."
Symptoms of the virus — fever and headache — are similar to those of the St. Louis strain but are generally milder. In rare cases, the virus can cause neurological disorders and death. The elderly, young and those with weakened immune systems are most vulnerable.
New York City, New Jersey and Connecticut have been spraying pesticides to kill mosquitoes. The virus is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes that have bitten the infected birds. It is not transmitted from person to person or from birds to people.
New York Health Commissioner Dr. Antonia Novello said 250 dead birds have turned up from Connecticut to Suffolk County on Long Island.
New inspector to head probe of Chinese nuclear espionage
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—A 21-year FBI veteran with a background in counterintelligence is taking over the task force conducting the bureau's newly broadened investigation into the alleged Chinese theft of nuclear weapons secrets.
The FBI announced yesterday that Stephen W. Dillard, currently head of its Jackson, Miss., office, has been named inspector in charge of the task force, a job he took over Monday. The bureau is still deciding how many agents are needed for the probe of whether data about the miniature W-88 warhead and other weapons were taken from U.S. nuclear laboratories.
China has rejected any allegations of espionage.
Dillard, who has a law degree
from Mississippi College School of Law, has served in the FBI's national security division at headquarters where he managed all foreign counterintelligence and counterespionage operations as chief of the global section. He also has served as assistant chief of the counterterrorism section, unit chief of the Russian section and unit chief of the counterterrorism section of that division. He also previously worked in the Kansas City, Washington and Salt Lake City field offices.
The FBI broadened its investigation last week, after focusing for nearly four years on a scientist at the Los Alamos nuclear weapons lab in New Mexico.
Attorney General Janet Reno said the expansion was in response to questions that have been raised in terms of new evidence.
"I think there may have been new facts brought to the attention of the FBL," she said.
Several outside panels have criticized the original probe for concentrating exclusively on Los Alamos and have pointed out that many other government and industry people — more than the FBI originally realized — had access to the information that may have been taken.
Technical information about the miniature W-88 warhead had been widely available from numerous places in government and among private contractors and could have come from many organizations other than the weapons labs, a panel of the president's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board concluded in a report in June.
Study called off after patient's death
Volunteer, 18 had a reaction to gene therapy
The Associated Press
TUCSON, Ariz.—A gene therapy experiment has been halted following the death of an 18-year-old Arizona man who volunteered to join the study to help others suffering from his rare metabolic disease.
Jesse Gelsinger died Sept. 16, several days after researchers began infusing his liver with genetically engineered viruses designed to counter ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, a disease that impairs the body's ability to rid itself of ammonia.

The disorder often leads to coma and death in infancy. Gelsinger, whom doctors first diagnosed with OTC at age 2, had coped with the disease through medications and low-protein foods. Ammonia is produced in the breakdown of protein.
"This kid was as happy as can be." Jesse's father, Paul Gelsinger, told The Arizona Daily Star. "He was saying, 'Dad, they might be able to come up with a cure.' He wanted to do it, and I encouraged him."
The experiment involving 18 patients has been halted until researchers can determine why Jesse died, The Washington Post reported yesterday. The newspaper referred to the death as the first linked by doctors to the field of research that seeks to cure people by giving them new genes.

In the study at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, DNA without the genetic mutation that causes OTC was inserted into a virus. The virus was then sent directly to the liver, where the mutated gene was active.
Federal officials were expected to

"The first 24 hours looked pretty similar to other patients," said Mark Batshaw, a physician who is of the pioneers of OTC research. "After 24 hours, though, he just went rapidly downhill."
Jesse became comatose, his face swelled, his body was jaundiced and his oxygen intake dipped to dangerously low levels. Soon his entire body was swelling, inside and out.

New war crimes prosecutor to keep focus on Milosevic

new chief prosecutor said yesterday she would keep the U.N. court's focus on suspected atrocities in Kosovo.

She reiterated the position of her
predecessor, Louise Arbour, that the court had the authority and jurisdiction to gather information against Milosevic, his political associates and others.
The tribunal indicted Milosevic and four top advisers in May for crimes against humanity allegedly committed during the 18-month Kosovo conflict. It has not ruled out the possibility that other charges, including genocide, could be brought against the five.

in the province "The primary focus ... must be the investigation and prosecution of the five leaders of the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia and the Republic of Serbia, who have already been indicted," the statement said.
Del Ponte — a former Swiss federal prosecutor who took over from Arbour this month — said the tribunal would assist in possible cases of human rights abuses or sexual crimes in Kosovo.
She added, however, that the tribunal will rely on national criminal courts established under U.N. authority to prosecute most suspects locally. That will leave The Hague to concentrate on more senior suspects.
in a recent example, tribunal investigators gave local authorities information used to arrest nine Serbs last weekend for alleged crimes against ethnic Albanians in Kosovo. All nine will be tried by local officials.

Cell phones provide way to phone home
Safety, convenience at the heart of trend
By Amanda Kaschube
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The latest technology craze has hit campus in full force — cellular phones.
Teachers and students across campus can be spotted using cell phones, day or at night. Cellular phone distributors in Lawrence said they had seen an increase in sales during August and January — the two months when students return with cash lining their pockets.
Tim Ducker, sales representative for Simply Wireless, 1901 Massachusetts St., said January was a lucrative month for the company because students got extra money from their parents and financial aid.
"We see an increase in sales depending on
the time of year," he said.
Ducker said about 40 percent of sales came from University of Kansas students.
"Most buy them for the aspect of a safety feature," he said. "Most buy the hands-free model."
Jeff Seymour, manager of Midwest Digital, 2721 West Sixth Street, said the majority of his student cell phone sales also were for safety reasons.
"The No. 1 reason is for emergency purposes for driving," he said. "Or, they want it for for the evening when they are on campus or downtown."
Carrie Depenbusch, Columbus, Mo., junior, said she bought a cell phone for her car when she traveled but didn't bring it on campus.
"I don't really have a need for it on campus," she said. "I just have it for safety in my car."
With all the cell phones on campus, some teachers are bound to have problems with them in classes.
Don Stull, anthropology professor, said he modified his syllabus a few years ago to prohibit cell phone usage in his class.
"most of my classes are grad level courses, and they're smaller," he said. "When I go through the syllabus, I talk about classroom behavior. Cell phones are included."
Lauren Couch, Kansas City freshman, said she didn't bring her phone to class because she didn't want it to ring and disturb the class.
Other teachers have not had the same problem Stull had encountered.
problem Curtis Hall, physics and astronomy professor, said although he has not had cell phone problems in the past, he would ask a student to leave the classroom if he or she was using a cell phone.
Despite the occasional disruptive ring during class discussions, there has not been a serious complaint filed against cell phone usage, said Anna Hines, associate director of Networking and Telecommunications Services for the University.
"Cell phones, in any way shape or form are welcomed on campus," she said. "There are no restrictions or rules."
are not necessary. Hines said students living in residence halls could experience cross-talk because of a small amount of frequency space.
"They do so at their own risk," she said. But using cell phones on campus wouldn't cause cross-talk because of the larger amount of frequency space, Hines said.
The convenience of cell phones has prompted some students to use them for purposes other than safety.
Couch said she brought her cell phone to the bars at night so she could call for a ride home.
home. Seymour said students had a higher interest level in cell phones because they had become a part of their way of life.
"They're used to having access to communication, including cell phones," he said. "Students don't remember a time when cell phones weren't around."

Jayhawks fail to shock Big Red fans
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
LINCOLN, Neb. — The Kansas volleyball team was smothered with a dose of Big Red last night.
The No. 8 Nebraska Cornhuskers, playing in front of a home crowd of red-clad and exuberant fans at the Nebraska Coliseum, defeated the Jayhawks 15-11, 15-6 and 15-7.
The loss dropped the Jayhawks to 10-4 on the season and 1-2 in the Big 12 Conference. The Cornhuskers improved to 10-3 and 2-1 in the Big 12.
"We had opportunities in game one, but I think the Huskers were just looking for something good to happen." Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "And it did."
turned those opportunities into a game one win.
Kansas quieted the crowd of 3.011 early on, leaving the Cornhuskers wondering if they were on their way to their second
straight home defeat. Last week, No. 17 Kansas State stormed into the Coliseum and took home a 3-2 victory, which was the first time Nebraska had been beaten at home by a conference opponent in a regular-season match since 1977.
Nebraska erased any doubt by rallying from a 9-6 deficit and tying the game at 11. The Cornhuskers scored three straight points, and from there, the Nebraska fans took control.

Things weren't so great for Kansas in the second and third games. The Cornhuskers dominated, cruising to 15-6 and 15-7 victories. One aspect of the games in particular spelled doom for the Jayhawks — they were outblocked in the match. 16-5.

The Jayhawks were led by junior outside hitter Amy Myatt, who had 14 kills. Senior middle blocker Amanda Reves added eight and Albrecht had six, which moved her within 12 kills of 1,000 for her career. Sophomore setter Molly LaMere had 33 assists.
With the win, the Cornhuskers improved to 336-24 all-time in the Coliseum, including a 102-1 record against conference opponents.
Next up for the Jayhawks is a home match against Texas Tech at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
"We're going to bounce back," Albrecht said. "This is one match, and we've got many matches ahead. We're going to come back firing."

Gregory, the Jayhawks' 6-foot-5 junior swingman, has heard the comparisons to Jordan for most of his life. Whether they came after a spectacular dunk on or off the court, Gregory's mom, Emma, said that she had been told that her son looked like Jordan since he was in high school.

"During his time in high school was when I started to hear it," she said. "I heard it then and I hear it now, but Kenny just wants to be Kenny."
But "being Kenny" does have a lot to do with being like Jordan.
Gregory worked out all summer to improve his game and prepare his mind for the upcoming Kansas basketball season. In June, he took summer classes and worked on improving his skills to play the two-guard — Jordan's position — this season. He worked on ball handling, a 15-foot jump shot, free throws and his moves to the basket.
"I'm always going to go to the basket, that's my bread and butter," Gregory said. "But if I add a mid-range jumper and maybe a three here and there, that will really help my game."
In July, Gregory went to Atlanta to visit friends and to Philadelphia to play with some NBA players, including Cuttino Mobley and Aaron McKie. At the end of the month he met his comparisons to Jordan head-on when he was invited to work as a

It's a rough life for offensive linemen — lots of dirty work and no recognition.
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Take the San Diego State game for example. On 29 pass plays, Jayhawk quarterbacks Zac Wegner and Dylen Smith were sacked a combined four times and hurried 16 times — sometimes with only a three-man rush. Kansas had no yards rushing on 21 attempts. A poor performance by any standards.
Granted, San Diego State is ranked 17th in the NCAA in total defense, the best Kansas has faced yet this season. And Coach Terry Allen did point out that Saturday's loss was a team failure, and probably couldn't be put on just the offensive line.
But that's why being an offense lineman is one of the toughest positions on the football field.
"We don't get a lot of glory," said right tackle Justin Hartwig. "We just go out and do our job every week."
Opening up holes for the running backs and dropping back in pass protection would be the basic goal of the line, but that becomes difficult with three new starters.
concerned about. But the emergence of left tackle John Oddonetto, along with the solid play of Hartwig and center Chris Enneking make the line one of the most consistent parts of the team. Throw in left guard Dameon Hunt, who has the most career starts on the team, and the line can be one of the most dependable parts of the team.
Three linemen graduated last fall, left tackle Dan Dercher, right tackle Michael Lies and right guard Justin Glasgow, leaving Kansas with an inexperienced line — something that concerned Allen before the season.
Except for last week.
"I thought the offensive line played pretty good until last week," Oddonetto said.
Three San Diego State players did things to disrupt the rhythm of the line, making it difficult to pass block or run block.
It's tough when you have some guys rushing around the outside. It's difficult to
double team them," Allen said.
Some offensive and defensive changes this week could include some different schemes for the line, but the basic idea will be the same — to pass block and run block
"We just need to dominate up front," Hartwig said.
Hartwig said.
"That's what we try to do every week."
"That's what we try to do every week." Offensive line coach Walt Klinker does his best to install good technique and discipline among the linenen. Oddetonto calls him an old school coach — someone who motivates by yelling.
"That's the way it should be because the offensive line has be geared up mentally all the time," Oddonetto said. "He just wants you to play so hard you have snot bubbles coming out your nose."
That's what the Jayhawks will need the rest of the season. Hard-nosed play, not only from the offensive line, but also from the whole team.
"We all have to pull it together and play as a team." Hartwig said. "Simple as that."

Cornhuskers honor history through statues
Dismiss those Cornhusker fans, the ones who stay loyal on home and road games. Some of the 3,011 Big Red faithful who made the short drive last night to see their volleyball team are likely to make the three-hour commute Nov. 3 to Lawrence. And don't focus on the diehards that scalp tickets outside the volleyball arena, because every sport in Lincoln is so popular that

Nebraska. It loves to bronze its athletes and their accomplishments. Football statues abound, and a golfer is immortalized, too. Upon entrance of the Coliseum there are three volleyballers idolized.
Every sport is eligible for enshrinement. There is no statute of limitations.
Kansas has tried to stay on top with honoring its accomplishments. A drive along Interstate 70 is good for discovering more astronaut sightings than a NASA reunion. At Kansas, there's plenty of athletic history, but the same detail is not put into its exposure. Portraits augment the walls of Allen Fieldhouse and the trophies are housed there, too. Important numbers hang in the arena's rafters.
But there's only one statue. "Phog"
Allen stands alone.
Alen Stanley Kansas needs to do something about that. Be proud of what it has given athletics. Bronze Wilt Chamberlain or Lynette Woodard. Honor Roy Williams, Marian Washington or Larry Brown. Jim Ryun certainly made a contribution.
Artistry is nice. Statues are forever. Nebraska carries an arrogance about its history, and it shows in its hardware. Nebraska realizes how much people in the United States love statues. They can be eye-catching and intimidating. Lincoln Memorial and the Soldiers at Iwo Jima are two classic statues and a pair of important symbols of U.S. history.
This campus in Lincoln realizes what inspiration and presence these memorials possess.
Nebraska has had an edge lately on Kansas sports. Its men's basketball team won two of three meetings last winter. Nebraska swept Kansas last night in volleyball, and the Final Four team from last year looks just as good this season, even though the locals scuff that it is a down year. The Huskers likely will trudge over Kansas football team as they contend for their own national championship. Can this all change? Of course, Williams and Washington each have title-contending teams. Ray Bechard's volleyball team has some promising young talent that competed admirably and looked competitive for the majority of the night despite playing the nation's eighth-ranked team in the Big 12 Conference's most raucous environment. Football might take longer to stymie Nebraska, but stranger things have happened.
Can the statue title be reversed?

Aries: Today is a 9.
Time for you to fall in love again? It could happen in an academic setting. If you are already in love, then you and your sweetheart ought to take a class. Something both physically and mentally stimulating would be best. Do it with friends, if possible. Dancing, anyone?
Taurus: Today is a 5.
Although you're a person of few words, those few words could be worth their weight in gold. It doesn't take many to get the meaning across if you choose the right ones. And, you sure can. Timing is everything, however. Wait for the right moment.
Gemini: Todav is a 9.
You should round out this month on a successful note. Celebrate by launching a new project. Something you start now could turn out well, especially if it involves love. Going back to school is a good idea, too, and travel should be loads of fun. Enjoy!
Cancer: Today is a 5.
It's nice to know what's going on, but you don't want to hear about it all day long. Tell a talkative friend you're interested, only in the stuff that affects you. He or she can keep all the rest of it, with your blessing.
Leo: Today is an 8.
This ought to be pretty interesting. Things are happening quickly, but you can most likely keep up. If you start loss tracking of what's going on, ask a Libra or Gemini to help. They'll be glad to explain.
Virgo: Today is a 5.
Weave in and out and stay out of other people's way. They're moving quickly, but are they being effcient? Maybe not, but be careful how you tell them. They're having so much fun, they may not care that the job's not getting done! And, if you make them notice, you may have to do it!
Libra: Today is a 9.
Do you have a friend far away you can talk to about everything? That's a good person to talk to right now. Wait until after the rates go down if you need to, but sharing about a recent breakthrough will make it more likely to stick.
Congratulations on your new point of view, by the way.
Scorpio: Today is a 5.
Sagittarius: Today is an 8.
Looks like an excellent evening for a fascinating conversation. A favorite foreign restaurant would be a good destination. Your perfect date is a person who poses a bit of a challenge and can teach you a thing or two. Don't take your work with you though. It would interfere.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
If you ask leading questions, you'll find out all sorts of things. Keep most of what you learn to yourself. This is how you gather the information that gives you the edge. Think of it as an Easter egg hunt, except instead of eggs, you're hunting aces to keep up your sleeve.
Don't let the negotiations under way keep you from taking on another project. They are abundant right now. Ask a loved one to help you choose between them. Working together, you'll find it easier to tell the good deals from the bad.

You and your sweetheart ought to take a little time to celebrate. The perfect reason is love. There are lots of different kinds of love, so you have lots of people you could celebrate with. Or, maybe you'll decide that three's a crowd. It's up to you.
There's a lot of activity at your house. What are you doing? Adding on another bathroom? Not a bad idea, actually. You seem to be in the tearing-down phase, getting ready for the building-beautiful part. Just keep at it; you're doing fine.

In case of NL playoff game to be Monday
BASEBALL
NEW YORK — If a playoff game is needed to determine the National League's final postseason team, it would be played Monday at 2:05 p.m. EDT.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
SCORPIUS
If a playoff is needed to determine the NL Central title, Houston would play at the Cincinnati Reds.
Mets
If a tiebreaker is needed to
determine the wild card, the New York Mets would play at Cincinnati or the Astros would play at New York. In the event Cincinnati, Houston
and New York all finish with the same record, the Astros would play at the Reds to determine the Central champion and the Mets would be the wild card because the tiebreaker loser would have a lower percentage than New York.
The home teams for the tiebreakers were determined by coin flips on Sent.13
The first round of the postseason playoffs will begin Tuesday.
Pitcher's father pleads not guilty in drug case
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The father of rookie St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Rick Ankiel pleaded not guilty yesterday to federal charges of conspiracy to distribute marijuana and cocaine.
The charges against Richard Ankiel stem from a yearlong investigation into a drug-smugglings operation led by Richard Barker, who earned the nickname "Captain Jump-Off" for smuggling illegal immigrants and forcing them to swim to shore.
Ankiel, 42, posted a $100,000 personal surety bond yesterday after his arraignment before U.S. Magistrate Linnea Johnson. His next

St. Mary's College coach arrested on rape charge
ST. MARY'S CITY, Md. — Othell Wilson, basketball coach at St. Mary's College and a former Virginia star, has been accused of abducting and raping a 22-year-old woman at his apartment.
Wilson was arrested Monday on charges of kidnapping, false imprisonment, first-degree rape, first-degree sex offense and assault charges. He was being held without bond yesterday.
Wilson, 3B, played on NCAA Final Four squads in 1981 and 1984 at Virginia. He later played in the NBA for the Sacramento Kings and the Golden State Warriors.
He joined St. Mary's as an assistant coach in 1998 and was promoted to coach in August. The school has placed him on administrative leave.
Wilson picked up the woman at her home in Fairfax County, Va., for a date Friday evening, said St. Mary's County Sheriff's Lt. John Home. Wilson drove the woman to his apartment in St. Inigoes, where he raped and physically assaulted the woman, Home said.
Northern Iowa player convicted in drug case
WATERLOO, Iowa — Last season's leading score for the Northern Iowa men's basketball team was convicted yesterday on felony drug charges.
Sean Stackhouse, who was suspended from the team after his arrest on March 10, had waived a jury trial and was found guilty by District Court Judge James Beehiveh
Bishop Corey Judge James Beegly. Beeghly ruled that the amount of marijuana found with Stackhouse more than a pound — was not consistent with personal use and convicted him on charges of possession of marijuana with the intent to deliver and failure to affix a drug tax stamp. Both crimes carry a possible five years in prison.
Stackhouse, 22, is scheduled to be sent dec. 1.
Defense attorney Tom Freichs of Waterloo declined to comment on the verdict or whether his client plans to appeal.
At the time of Stackhouse's arrest Coach Sam Weaver said he was suspended until the outcome of the legal process.
Nancy Justis, sports information director at Northern Iowa, said that yesterday the university had not heard about the conviction and that Weaver would make no comment until he had more information.

In game, Jordan tells Gregory his dunking days are done
Continued from page 1B
said that it was very common, and at times very annoying, for people to mistake him for Air Jordan, especially from a distance.
"A few times people would see me from behind and come up to me and tap me on the shoulder." Gregory said. "Then I would turn around, and they would see I wasn't him."
The fans' mistaking of Gregory for Jordan didn't stop with a sighting from a distance and a tap on the shoulder. People who saw Gregory play at the camp were confused as well.
Jordan had a slam-dunk contest at the camp in which counselors, such as Gregory, could participate. After Gregory won the contest, he said people who had seen it really thought he was Jordan.
"It got worse after the dunk contest," Gregory said. "I think I put on a pretty good show."
Next, the counselors and other players scrimmaged against Jordan. Before tip-off of the first game, Jordan walked up to Gregory and said, "There's not going to be any dunking."
"A few times people would see me from behind and come up to me and tap me on the shoulder. Then I would turn around, and they would see I wasn't him."

Jordan was right. Gregory did not even attempt to dunk on Jordan.

Did he guard him?
"I tried," Gregory said. "He still has it. You can tell he doesn't play every day anymore, but he was still the best player on the court by far."

As far as fulfilling his comparisons to Jordan, Gregory said that it was something he doesn't think about. He said that he has improved more mentally and physically in the last six months than he did in his first two years at Kansas, and that he was excited for the upcoming season to start.
His mom, although admitting that she sees a little M.J. in K.G. said, "Kenny wouldn't want to be labeled Michael Jordan or anything like that. He just wants to be labeled Kenny Gregory."

Rowing team receives jolt of inspiration from seniors
By Shawn Linenberger sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Kansas rowers Tara Lynn and Risa Pette are two big reasons why the Jayhawks are coming off their best season in the program's short history. Seniors Lynn and Petty helped Kansas finish last spring ranked No. 22 nationally — which is impressive, considering the rowers had no previous experience.
"Rowing was an alternative to softball," Petty said. "I'd never done it before or thought about doing it. I realized that I was not Division I caliber for softball."
Four years ago, Lynn and Petty joined the team as walkons. Lynn was asked to walk on by a coach, and Petty found out about rowing through a friend after deciding not to continue her softball career in college.
Maybe not, but Petty has become a top NCAA rower. She was named to the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association's All-Central second team this year.
Lynn was nominated Most

Inspirational by her teammates her freshman year, an honor she received because of her attitude. Petty said.
"it lead by example," Petty said, "but Tara leads with actions and words."
Lynn and Petty, who are co-captains, have been the only Kansas rowers to be in the first-varsity eight boat since their freshman year. But Lynn and Petty weren't always as successful as they were last year.
"I was in track and played volleyball and basketball in high school," Lynn said. "It was a tough transition being in a new sport."
Petty agreed.
"It was tough to learn a brand new sport," Petty said. "Rowing is very repetitive. You have to have more mental toughness in rowing than in some other sports. You really have to push
Coach Rob Catloth said it was a major task for the pair, considering their first rowing experiences came in college.
yourself."
"They were basically fed to the wolves." Catloth said.
Lymn's success could be attributed to her work ethic.
"Rowing's a part of life for me," Lynn said. "This is what I do, what I live for. People wonder why I live up each morning at 5:30 to lift weights. I feel if I don't, I let people down."
Lynn and Petty said they have made a steady climb in improvement since their freshman days and are prepared to capitalize on last year's national ranking.
"We're in better shape now than we've ever been," Petty said. "We have a strong team made up mostly of seniors. We're rowing better than we ever had."
The Jayhawks begin the fall season Saturday at the Head of the Ohio Regatta near Pittsburgh.

A former swimmer and skier, Nedelcia turned in that equipment to pick up a title he prefers: coach. But Nedelcia is not coaching those sports. Instead, he's guiding players in a sport he continues to participate in: table tennis.

Crew members planning to get dirty this weekend

Members of University of Kansas Crew will be doing some manual labor this weekend.
The rowing team is conducting its fall cleanup, called Rent-A-Rower. This fundraiser gives the crew a chance to make some money for the team while helping people who need work done around the house.
Nick Lehman, St. Louis junior and club vice president, said that most of the rowers were hired by KU faculty.
"It is a good way to get our name out to the faculty and staff," he said. "They like to support our team, and they treat us pretty good. They are impressed with the hard work we do."
Lehman said that while the fund-raiser was a great way to make money for the team, the work had been tough at times.
in the office Melanie Moore, Morrison, Colo., senior, said team members did not get to choose the jobs they were assigned.
"Mostly they have us do things like wash windows and clean out their garages and basements," he said. "My freshman year I got assigned shoveling manure for someone out in the middle of nowhere."
"Last year was the first year I did it," she said. "A girl and I had to clean out a gutter in the freezing cold. But I think this year I am going to be moving furniture in a lady's house, so we'll see how long that lasts."
Moore said that the club had been doing this fund-raiser for years and that although

the work could be hard, it was not as bad as some of the alternatives.
"It's better than cleaning Allen Fieldhouse," she said. "That's one of the other fund-raisers we do and that really sucks."
There are more than 60 members of the Jayhawks crew team that are available to work this weekend. The club also will hold another Rent-A-Rower fund raiser. Oct 23-24.
Lehman said that people should not hesitate to rent a rower for anything they needed help with and that they could rent as many rowers as they wanted. The cost to rent a rower is $80 for eight hours of work, and the club will negotiate with people who need less than eight hours of work done.
"People are usually pretty generous," she said. "Sometimes they make us lunch. A lot of them are professors who help out because they know it's for crew and we need money." To rent a rower for this weekend, call Nick at 841-9660.
Moore said the people who hired the rowers usually were nice, which made the jobs a little bit easier.

LUBBOCK, Texas — Texas Tech running back Ricky Williams aggravated his sprained left knee during a practice meant to help him return to top form and is out for the rest of the season, coach Spike Dykes said yesterday.

the all-time rushing record of Texas' running back of the same name — a feat he was on pace to accomplish.
Before the initial injury, Williams had played every game at Tech (1-2) the past two seasons, rushing for 1.582 yards and 13 touchdowns last year. The school had set up a Web site to chart his progress this season called "Heisman Chase."
"We couldn't have more hope or optimism about a player and
his potential." Dykes said.

Williams had missed the team's last two games after injuring the knee in the season opener against Arizona State, and Dykes had listed the running back as a "maybe" for Saturday's contest against No. 5 Texas A&M. But in practice Tuesday, Williams aggravated the injury while running in a no-contact exercise.

Tigers coach gets vocal after loss to Nebraska

knee in practice.
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Missouri coach Larry Smith usually isn't described as quotable, but this week his words following his team's 40-10 loss to Nebraska brought out a side of Smith previously unseen in the national spotlight.
After his team's loss, the normally subdued Smith was ready to talk candidly about a variety of topics, ranging from his team's defensive lapses to the arm strength of his long snapper.
BIG 12 CONFERENCE
The blowout loss was an obvious disappointment to the Tigers, who took Nebraska to overtime before losing in the Cornhuskers' last trip to Missouri.
"I think our defense basically didn't do one thing in that game," Smith said after the "Huskers rolled up 333 yards against Missouri. "Nebraska got to play on a 56-yard field. That's partially the offense's fault, partially special teams' fault and partly the defense's fault. Defense was just a part of the whole thing. That was a team loss. No one played well enough to win."
Tiger long snapper Ben Davidson hurled two snaps over punter Jared Gilpin's head, which led to a safety and a touchdown before the end of the first quarter.
"The first one probably set an NCAA record for the longest snap in the world." Smith said. "It went 35 yards. That takes a lot, throwing the ball between your legs."
Missouri has a chance for redemption when the Tigers take on Memphis on Saturday.

Colorado coach Gary Barnett said he was both relieved and disgusted to have his much-publicized matchup with former Buffalo coach Rick Neuheisel and Washington out of the way.
Colorado now can put the Huskies and Neuheisel behind it, but key injuries linger on the Buffaloes' horizon. While quarterback Mike Moschetti's knee was healed in time for the Washington game, a 31-24 loss, strong safety Michael Lewis, tailback Dwayne Cherrington and offensive tackle Victor Rogers will be out of action for at least one month.

Starting quarterback for K-State still not set
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN—Kansas State coach Bill Snyder will wait until this week to decide who will start at quarterback on Saturday, when the No. 13 Wildcats travel to No. 15 Texas.
Junior Jonathan Beasley started all three games for Kansas State (3-0, 1-0 Big 12) but was benched early in the second half last week at Iowa State.
Adam Helm, a career backup, ran for two scores — including the game-winner — as the Wildcats came back from a 28-7 halftime deficit to win 35-28.
"When one of them gets a hot hand, he'll be the guy." Snyder said Tuesday. "I'm going to wait a little longer to name a starter. I'm going to put a little pressure on them. I want to see how practice goes this week."
Snyder rarely has replaced a starter after one inconsistent performance, but Beasley said he understood that could happen.
C
"Coach Snyder has said my start- ing job wasn't etched in stone," Beasley said. "I didn't get our offense going, and that's part of the quarterback's job."
Beasley, who has completed 23 of 53 passes for 402 yards and three touchdowns this season, also said he understood why Snyder pulled him in the second half of the Iowa State game.
"Sometimes you make a change." Beasley said, "I know I didn't perform like I needed to. Hopefully, I won't make the mistakes I did last week."
Snyder, however, didn't place much of the blame on Beasley.
"There is no one individual who wins or loses a game for us," Snyder said. "Jonathan didn't play well. But he didn't get much help either. It was a team thing. Every player and every coach who was involved can take some of the blame."
Helm said he was preparing himself to be Beasley's backup against Texas but was always prepared to step in.

Astros. Reds tied for first
The Associated Press
HOUSTON — The Houston Astros won't let go of their National League Central title so easily.
Mike Hampton became the National League's first 21-game winner, and Daryle Ward hit a two-run homer last night as the Astros beat Cincinnati 4-1 and once again tied the Reds for first place.
With three games remaining, the Astros and Reds are both 95-64. In the wild-card race, each is 11/2 games ahead of the New York Mets, who stopped a seven-game losing
streak by beating Atlanta 9-2.
Houston closes with three games at home against Los Angeles and Cincinnati, which had its six-game winning streak stopped.
Hampton (21-4) stranded at least one runner in scoring position in the first three innings without allowing a run. Cincinnati's Steve Parris (11-3) retired nine of the first 11 batters he faced.
Houston, which had lost eight of 11 and scored six runs in its previous three games, broke through in the fourth inning after a throwing error by shortstop Barry Larkin allowed Jeff Bagwell to reach.
Caminiti drove in the game's first run with an RBI ground. Ward followed with a liner off the left-field facade for a 3-1 lead.
Carl Everett doubled, and Ken
Pokey Reese hit an RBI single in the sixth, but Houston got the run back in the bottom half on Caminiti's sacrifice fly.
Hampton, who tied the Astros' record for wins set by Joe Niekro in 1979, allowed one run and seven hits in eight innings with eight strikeouts. Billy Wagner finished for his 38th save in 41 chances, the 100th of his career.
Parris gave up all four runs — but just one earned — and six hits in five-plus innings.
Red Sox snag playoff spot
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — It's back-to-back for the Boston Red Sox, returning to the postseason in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1915-16.
"We're happy, but not content," shortstop Nomar Garciapara said last night after a 6-2 victory against the Chicago White Sox in a doubleheader opener clinched a postseason berth.
Pedro Martinez, the 23-game winner, didn't pitch, but he came out of the dugout and did a niffy cart wheel near the mound after Chicago's Mike Caruso lined into a game-ending double play.
The Red Sox high-fived their way off the field, but the champagne had to chill for another couple of hours
— there was another game to play.
—there was another game to play:
"We have attained something, and it's very special. We haven't lost sight of where we are. The team ahead of us is outstanding," Boston manager Jimy Williams said. "We know what lies ahead. But we want to relish the moment. We are a playoff team, one of four (in the American League). It's a good feeling."
Despite losing their top power hitter, Mo Vaughn, to the Anaheim Angels through free agency, the Red Sox (91-66) managed not only to reach the playoffs but also possibly to win the AL East. They still have an outside shot to overtake the New York Yankees (95-62), who were rained out at Baltimore.
"This shows the Red Sox can put a contender out there in year and year
out, even though we lost one of our most recognizable players," general manager Dan Duquelet said. "Last year, we won one playoff game. This year we'd like to win a lot of playoff games."
With consecutive 90-win seasons for the first time since they won three straight from 1977-79, the Red Sox (91-68) will face either Cleveland or Texas in the best-of-5 first-round series. The Indians eliminated Boston from the postseason in 1998 and 1995.
"We've got to believe we can go all the way," said Garciaparra. "We're not going to sit on our hands. The division isn't over yet. We're not going to let up. We good. People who said we wouldn't be don't know a thing. We had a lot of faith."

ST. LOUISE — Mark McGwire regained the major league home run lead last night, hitting Nos. 62 and 63 in a doubleheader against the San Diego Padres.
McGwire hit a homer in each game and moved one ahead of Chicago's Sammy Sosa for the first time since Aug. 18, when he led 48-47. He has 520 career homers, leaving him one
behind Ted Williams and Willie McCovey for 10th place on the career list. McGwire also leads the National League with 145 RBI.
McGwire tied Sosa for the major league lead in the fourth inning of the opener with a two-run homer to center that traveled an estimated 462 feet. He sent a 1-0 pitch from Matt Clement well over the wall as the ball cleared an area of shrubbery just beneath the backdrop.
Center fielder Ruben Rivera threw it back over the wall, leading to a scramble for the ball.
McGwire hit a three-run homer off Andy Ashby, who surrendered Nos. 500 and 501 on Aug. 5 in St. Louis, in the sixth inning of the second game. The 467-foot shot cleared the center-field wall and landed beyond the shrubbery. It bounced back onto the field, and center fielder Mike Darr tossed it back in the stands

Saints coach Ditka tells Chicago to forget past
NEW ORLEANS — Mike Ditka , the coach most strongly identified with the Bears in modern times, has a message for the Windy City: Get over it.
The Associated Press
"It's kind of silly, isn't it," Ditka said of the
He has.
furor about his return with the Saints to face his old team. "What happened 15 years ago should have no bearing on what's going on now. It doesn't really. You can't take the past away from you, but you can't live in the past. I don't do that. It's just a football game."
Much of the legend that surrounds Ditka was forged in Chicago, where he was a player for six years and a coach for 11. He's second only to team
founder George Halas in tenure and victories. During his coaching stint, the Bears won the NFC Central six times and the Super Bowl once.
Ditka: Will return to Chicago with his new team.
Memories of not only the victories, but the
image of Ditka stalking the sidelines, screaming at players, coaches and officials, remain strong. It was the basis of the "Saturday Night Live" skit in which a group of blue-collar guys praised "Da Bears" and "Da Coach."
"I have a lot of great memories from Chicago and still have a lot of friends there," Ditkra said. "It will always be a special place for me. But you can't live in the past. I don't. This is my home now, the faints are my team. I love this place and this team. They only way they'll get me out of here is to force me to leave."
Compared to the Chicago years, Dikta's reign, in New Orleans has been unexceptional. He's made more headlines off the field than on — criticizing the city early on, quitting — then retracting it — during his first year, donning a dreadlock wig after drafting Ricky Williams.
But now that he has the running back he wanted and has settled in (he's opening a New Orleans restaurant called "Ditka's" this fall), Ditka said the 6-10 records of his first two years and the Saints' status of being the only NFL team never to win a playoff game are finished.
"This is a good place, the people work hard, they're good people and they've been more than good to me," he said. "Now I want to be the one to bring them a Super Bowl. I can do it with this organization."
Underwood's mom blames cult for son's recent behavior
The Associated Press
LANSING, Mich.—Dimitrius Underwood was adjusting to life as an NFL player and was in good spirits when the Miami Dolphins saw him before the weekend. Emergency personnel who saw him a night later were so concerned by his appearance that they called police.
"He appeared somewhat confused," said Lt. Ray Hall, spokesman for the Lansing Police Department. "He did appear to be talking to himself."
A day later, on Sunday, he was found on a city street bleeding from his neck with a life-threatening knife wound that police determined was self-inflicted.
Between Saturday and Sunday, Underwood was arrested for failure to make child support payments and had refused to leave jail immediately after bail was posted, choosing instead to talk to another prisoner.
The series of events has those closest to the former Michigan State defensive end worried, with his mother fearful that he may be under the influence of a "cult that's posing as a church."
Underwood's mother, Eileen Underwood, told *The Miami Herald* that she wanted to speak out against a church Underwood began attending while at
Michigan State. She did not identify the church but said she might take action against it.
"There are controlling spirits in there," Underwood, an ordained minister, told the newspaper in Tuesday's editions. "I visited one time, and the pastor was talking about if a young man and woman in the church are dating and then they break up, he won't let them date anyone else for six months.
"That's not in the Bible," she said. "I know the Bible. That's just someone trying to control people. It's a den of witches sitting up in there."
Underwood had been attending Immanuel's Temple Community Church for about a year, the Lansing State Journal reported.
The Rev. Phillip Owens, the church's pastor, walked away from an Associated Press reporter without comment at the church's office in a downtown Lansing office building Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Underwood was still listed in fair condition yesterday at Sparrow Hospital after surgery Sunday. He was able to talk and get out of bed Tuesday, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Underwood first drew national attention after being picked by Minnesota in the first round and then leaving the Vikings in August without explanation a day after signing a five-year, $3.3 million
Sanders hopes Cowboys dance past Cardinals
The Associated Press
Deion Sanders will being doing it all again starting Sunday when Dallas plays Arizona.
IRVING, Texas — He makes quarterbacks ignore half of the field, forces punts to think twice about giving him something to return and leads the postgame prayer.
Sanders hopes Cardinals quarterback Jake Plummer is willing to find out the hard way.
But it remains to be seen whether Sanders can be at his AI-Pro best five months after toe surgery and nine months since his last meaningful game.
Sanders sprained his left big toe early in a Nov. 15 game in Arizona. He missed five games, then returned for a Jan. 2 playoff game also against the Cardinals.
"I'm laying before the Lord saying, 'Lord, please let Jake throw this ball to me,' because I've got a new holy ghost dance I'm going to give you guys out there on that field.'" Sanders said.
Sanders played in the Pro Bowl, then hoped the pain would go in the off season. It didn't, so he underwent surgery in April. He began practicing earlier this month and finally feels ready to go.
Sanders loves to entertain, whether it's taunting opponents by holding out the ball, high-stepping down the sidelines or doing one of his victory dances.
As much as Sanders' antics annoy opponents, his ability can hurt even more.
He had five interceptions last year, his most in four years. That's even more impressive considering he only played nine full games, and teams usually tried to avoid throwing to his side.
"Do you think they just woke up in the morning and said, 'Well, we ain't going to throw at Deion?' No, no. It got that way for a reason." he said.
Sanders also led the NFL last season with an average of 15.6 yards per punt return. Sanders took six kicks at least 30 yards, reaching the end zone twice.
"Even if I'm not tested on defense, they have to punt," Sanders said.
Safety George Teague said he expected teams to make Sanders prove he's 100 percent healthy.
"Everybody is going to want to know how well his toe is." Teague said. "I think the first time he goes out there and snags one of those outs or double moves or whatever they try to give him, then they'll be back to the reality that it's the same old Deion."

Injury doesn't keep player from victory
KANSAS
TENNIS

It was a psychology experiment gone wrong.
In a session with the team psychologist, members of the women's tennis team had to stand on a platform and fall backward into the arms of their teammates.
When Julia Sidorova fell, she elbowed teammate Christi Wagaena in the face, breaking her nose.
This happened Sept. 22, only two days before Wageneara was scheduled to play in the Indiana Fall Invitational in Bloomington, Ind.
"I couldn't practice Thursday because I was very dizzy and woozy," said Wagenaar, a sophomore. "I had to take lots of drugs and medication, so I was very off balance."
However, she decided to compete in the tournament anyway, without the use of a face brace.
"As the tournament went on, I felt much better," Wagenar said. "I couldn't play doubles because I would have to play too close to the net, and the ball moves too fast. I knew I would be tentative, but I'm mainly a baseline player, so I wasn't too scared."
Her singles play seemed unaffected as she won the Flight 7 singles tournament handily.
n victory KANSAS TENNIS
In the first round, she defeated Alexandra Stankovic of Marquette 6-4, 6-1. Saturday, she defeated Gwen Sikora of Miami-Ohio 6-2 and moved into the championship round against Mindy Champion of Western Michigan, where she won 6-2, 6-0.
"The competition was good," Wagenaar said. "There were some good schools. It was a good warm-up
to prepare for the spring season."
Coach Jenny Garrity said that while she was a little worried about Wagener, she was pleased with her weekend results.
She told me that she was fine emotionally, physically and mentally." Garrity said. "I'm not sure if it was her first broken bone, but it was her first college injury. She went in great spite of that. She didn't even wear her mask. She competed hard. I think it was more difficult for her flying there than actually playing, but she did great."
Wagenaar said that her nose was sore but that the swelling had gone down quite a bit. She has not had to wear the brace, and she expects her nose to be well within the week.
She will play in the Rice Invitational this weekend, as well.
Wagenaar has played well for the team this fall despite seeing very little playing time last season.
She came to Kansas as South Africa's top junior singles player, but the talented lineup already in existence did not offer much playing time for Wagenear as a freshman.
Kansas is without top player Kris Sell this season, and Wagenaar said she hoped to see action in a few matches.
"Not much has changed since last season, so it will depend on how I do in the fall," Wagenaar said. "Except for the top three players, we are all pretty even, so we all have a chance to play. I'm looking forward to this season."

Hingis nabs win in first Cup match
The Associated Press
MUNICH, Germany — Ready to get her game on track and celebrate her birthday at Oktoberfest, Martina Hingis beat Amelle Mauresmo 7-6 (7-1), 6-2 yesterday at the $6.7 million Grand Slam Cup.
The world's No. 1 player was competing in her first match since losing the U.S. Open final to Serena Williams nearly three weeks ago.
The tournament features the 12 men and eight women with the best records at the year's four Grand Slam events. The men's winner gets $1.3 million, and the women's champion gets $800,000.
"It felt good to have the victory," said Hingis, who plans to enjoy herself at the annual beer festival on her day off today, her 19th birthday. "I went a little bit down after that (the U.S. Open). I wasn't practicing."
Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf arrived from California on Tuesday. Graf, who retired this summer after a career beset by injuries, went on to Austria to see her doctor.
Hingis, who beat Mauresmo in the final of the Australian Open, assured herself of earning at least $300,000 in the richest tournament in tennis.
In the men's field, Tommy
Haas beat Dominik Hrbaty 6-3, 6-2, setting up a quarterfinal today with top-ranked Agassi. Agassi, the U.S. Open champion, had a first-round bye.
Haas earned $175,000 awarded to each men's quarterfinalist. Hrbaty got $100,000 as a first-round loser.
Nicolas Lapentil of Ecuador struggled past Fernando Meligeni of Brazil 6-4, 2-6, 16-14. The third set was the longest in the 10 years of the tournament, which does not use a tiebreaker in the decisive set, and took 1 hour, 47 minutes. It was also the longest set on the tour this year.
Lapentti, a semifinalist at the Australian Open, blew a match point while serving at 5-4 in the third set.
In the Hingis-Mauremos match, there were six breaks in the first set, but Hingis dominated the tiebreaker.
In the second set, Mauresmo dropped serve six times, including a double fault that gave Hingis a 2-1 lead. She broke back for 2-2 but could not hold in her next two service games.
A place in the women's semifinals is worth $200,000, and Hingis also collects $100,000 as bonus for her Australian Open title.
Mauresmo and Hingis have met three times since, with Hingis winning twice.
