THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
(USPS 650-640)
Some students say services for disabled are lacking

While other students scribble unintelligible notes in their tablets or nod their heads in the wake of daydreams, Rachel Alvarez-Magario, Sao Paulo, Brazil sophomore, punches indentations in a sheet of paper with a metal-tipped stylus.
Magario is different from the other students — she is blind.
She said when she was six years old her eyesight began to fail and has progressed to total blindness. But because she could see early in her childhood, Magario can visualize what other people explain to her.
"I have memories of seeing, of colors; that's why I am very visual," she said.
"If it weren't for teachers, I would have failed out of school by now," said Magaria as her guide dog, Hamlet, stands watch by her side. "The teachers are awesome because they help in several ways."
She said that she has had instructors spend extra time with her after class, and they often record their notes for her.
But the University of Kansas' assistance for students with disabilities is lacking in other areas. Magario said.
She said that Services for Students with Disabilities, operated by the University, ignored programs and services that should be provided to assist students with disabilities in their school work.
"They should provide readers and note

The Outhouse skinny Cornfield strip club draws crowds, controversy

or a cornnet.
No, it isn't a baseball field filled with ghosts of players past. It's The Outhouse, Kansas' only Bring-Your-Own-Beer strip club, and it's no secret.
It's also no angel.
The Outhouse, 1837 N. 1500 Road, is just a few miles east of Lawrence on 15th Street and has long been known to Lawrence residents as a yenue for live music.
Bouncer and disc jockey Liam Po said that the club once was known as a mecca for seeing concerts, but that now it was known as a mecca for seeing something entirely different.
Austin Lauxman, a 24-year-old Lawrence resident, said that his one trip to the club was inspired more by curiosity than a desire to see the girls.
"It was shady, a little seedy, which added to the ambiance," Lauxman said. "I was able to carry a box of beer in, and that made it even sweeter."
The Outhouse doesn't serve alcohol, but patrons are allowed to bring their own and must pay a $10 cover charge. Customers have to be 18 to enter and 21 to drink. The club is open from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and 7 p.m. to 4 a.m. Friday and Saturday.
One dancer who goes by the stage name Angel said that she was a KU junior double-majoring in advertising and graphic design and that clientele was mostly students and businessmen.
"It's very much like a party atmosphere." she said. "It's very relaxed."
Po said that word-of-mouth brought in a steady flow of new customers and that Friday and Saturday nights were often standing-room only.
Chris Tuttle, Omaha, Neb., senior, said that the club seemed to do big business.
"We drive out there late Friday and Saturday nights, but the parking lot is so packed that we don't even go in."
Tuttle said.
Turtle said.
Strip clubs can be a powerful draw for legions of men, but they can also become a powerful draw for trouble. The Outhouse has had its share of both. Owner Jeff Wallace, a 31-year-old Lawrence resident, said he opened the club about 21 months ago. Since then, one patron was killed by a car and runs with the law and Douglas County
officials have been a source of ongoing frustrations for Wallace.
Henry Edward Wilks Jr. died May 22 after a dancer at the club ran over him while driving home from the club.
Toxicology tests showed that Wilks, 27, tested positive for alcohol and marijuana. The corner's report stated that

Grand jury continues Ramsey investigation
BOULDER, Colo. — The grand jury investigating the death of 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey returned to work yesterday and possibly learned more about the inner workings of the Ramsey family.

Boulder declined to comment on the grand jury's plans.
PARIS, Maine — The driver who hit horror writer Stephen King was indicted by a grand jury yesterday on charges of aggravated assault and driving to endanger.
The Oxford County grand jury found that Bryan E. Smith drove recklessly and caused King serious bodily injury as the author was walking along a country road June 19 in Lovell, Maine
King, who was walking against traffic while reading a book, was thrown 14 feet and suffered multiple broken bones and a collapsed lung.
Aggravated assault carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. The other charge could bring Smith up to six months in prison.
Smith, 42, told police he lost control of his Dodge Caravan because he was distracted by his dog, and has called the incident an accident without a cause.
India tests new missile; can track 64 targets
NEW DELHI, India — India test-launched yesterday its most sophisticated surface-to-air missile, which soared above the ocean off the Indian coast and knocked down a pilotless plane, officials said.
The Akash missile can carry both nuclear and conventional warheads and can hit four targets simultaneously, United News of India quoted Defense Ministry officials as saying. It has a range of 15 miles and is one of the five missiles being developed by India's Defense Research and Development Organization.
The Indian-made 1,444 pound Akash tracked down and hit the Nishant, a new pilotless training aircraft that was tested Wednesday at the same range.
The missile's radar can track as many as 64 targets at once, the news agency reported.

London official to decide if Pinochet will face trial
LONDON — Gen. Augusto Pinochet's extradition hearing ended yesterday, and a London magistrate will rule Oct. 8 on whether the former Chilean dictator should be sent to Spain to face charges of torture.
The Associated Press
Pinochet, who remained in police guard at a rented mansion west of London during the four-day hearing, was supposed to attend Bow Street Magistrate's Court for the judgment by Deputy Chief Magistrate Ronald Bartle.
Magistrate Robert In a final plea, Pinochet's lead lawyer, Clive Nicholls, said yesterday that the general didn't want anyone to think he approved of the litany of allegations of torture, detentions and disappearances listed during the hearing.
"Some dreadful things have been described during the course of this hearing, acts of barbarism which no person can ever approve of," Nicholls said.
Nichols argued during the hearing that much of the evidence did not legally amount to torture.
"One is entitled to argue whatever is available, however
unattractive that may be," he said today.
On Wednesday, British lawyers representing Spain maintained that all the allegations constituted torture.
Pinochle was arrested Oct. 16 while recovering from spinal surgery in a London hospital. Spanish judge Baltasar Garzon, who launched the arrest, wants to put the general on trial for heading a regime that allegedly tortured opponents to gain and hold on to power.
An official Chilean government report said 3,197 people were killed or disappeared after Pinochet toppled elected Marxist President Salvador Allende in a bloody 1973 coup. In 1990, Pinochet relinquished power and became a senator for life.
The team of British lawyers acting on Garzon's behalf have introduced 35 charges against Pinochet — one count of ongoing conspiracy to commit torture and 34 allegations of specific incidents of torture against Chileans.
Pinochet's lawyers said that while some charges might reflect inhumane and degrading treatment, they did not constitute torture.
Earlier, Nicholls cited an allegation of torture relating to Wilson Fernando Valdebenito Juica. According to Spain's documents, the 28-year-old Chilean man, a member of a mine worker's trade union, died after being subjected to severe electrical shocks on Dec. 15, 1988.
15. 1860.
But Nicholls said the European Court of Human Rights had ruled that torture required the intentional infliction of severe pain or suffering. Because Juica's death apparently was instantaneous, he could not have experienced severe suffering. Nicholls said
Pinochet's lawyers also contend the charges do not constitute extraditable crimes, that Spain failed to tie Pinochet to the alleged acts and that Spain lacks jurisdiction.
If Pinochet loses, he can appeal. After all legal options are exhausted, the case would return to Home Secretary Jack Straw for a final ruling.
Pinochet's wife, Lucia, told supporters in London on Wednesday that while her husband was very depressed, he was a fighter who would not give up hope of returning home.

Kansans for Life to demonstrate on busy corner
By Emily Hughey
writer @kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Today marks the beginning of Pro-Life Month. To increase awareness, Kansans for Life is organizing a demonstration from 4 to 5 p.m. Sunday at 23rd and Iowa streets.
"The purpose is to publicly demonstrate our opposition to abortion in a peaceful and prayerful manner," said David Gittich, executive director of Kansans for Life, an organization based in Wichita.
Anti-abortion activists will gather on busy street corners of 68 communities throughout the state and hold signs saying, "Abortion Kills Children" and "Jesus Forgives and Heals."
Gittrich said he had been organizing Kansas Life Chains for 10 years, and despite signs that may strike a chord with some abortion-rights activists, he said that most responses to the demonstrations had been positive.
"I've been at every Life Chain, and each year, more and more people honk or give the thumbs up," Gittrich said. "How often do you have a demonstration out on the sidewalk if it's not a picket for a labor union or something? Almost never."
he said he did see an occasional middle finger or hear an angry
swear word but that the demonstrations generally were well-received.
However, Jeri Kaeles, staff adviser for the KU Pro Choice Coalition, said she decided to become an abortion-rights activist when she first saw a Life Chain demonstration. She said she was concerned with the safety of small children standing so close to the busy street.
"People get very angry when they see children holding up signs that they don't know anything about," Kaesler said. "They did this a few years ago, and the day they did it was the day I decided to become a pro-choice activist."
Gittrich said if the event organizers saw a child too close to the street, they would tell the child to move back.
"We're in the pro-life business," he said. "That means we like to keep people alive."
Despite abortion-rights activists' opposition to the Life Chain, Sally Puleo, president of the KU Pro Choice Coalition, said she respected the organization's right to demonstrate.
"Im glad they have the opportunity to go out there and give their opinion because that also means we have the opportunity to show our beliefs," Puleo said. "That's free speech."
Bullwinkle's bullied by City Commission

The saga of the City of Lawrence vs. local bar owners continues.
By Amber Shuever
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
More than three weeks after a district judge ordered Lawrence City Clerk Ray Hummert to sign a zoning certificate for Bullwinkle's, 1344 Tennessee St., the document remains unsigned.
The certificate is needed for Bullwinkle's to restore its drinking establishment license. the license would allow the bar to change from a cereal malt beverage establishment, which sells only beer and stays open until midnight, to a drinking establishment, which may sell liquor and stay open until 2 a.m. Bullwinkle's had a drinking establishment license from Jan. 1993 to Jan. 1998, but has been a cereal malt beverage establishment ever since.
On Sept. 8, District Judge Robert Fairchild ruled that Bullwinkle's was entitled to its zoning certificate. However, a 10-day stay, during which a judgment was postponed, kept Bullwinkle's from pursuing its plans to sell liquor.

At the end of the stay, a period in which decisions cannot be made, the city had to decide either to give Bullwinkle's its zoning certificate or to appeal.
"The City Commission decided they were going to appeal the judge's decision," said Randall Larkin, an attorney for Allen & Allen, the Lawrence firm which represents the city. "They thought there was a good chance the judgment would be reversed on appeal."

city was found guilty.
"If we were on the guilty side of it, we want to go to the appellate court to make sure the judge made the right decision," Kennedy said.
A judge will decide whether or not to extend the stay at a hearing set for Oct. 15. If the judge decides not to extend the stay, Hummert will continue to be ordered to sign the zoning certificate, and Bullwinkle's could get its drinking establishment license.

"Presumably he would, but I don't know that," said Edward Colliser, the attorney who represents Bullwinkle's. "What that would mean is the judgment is effective and can be enforced."
Meanwhile, Bullwinkle's licensees claimed they were entitled to costs including the court cost deposit of $66.50, the cost of taking the deposition of $129.30 and attorney's fees of $6,700.
The original lawsuit was regarding Hummer's decision to not sign the zoning certificate for Bullwinkle's to acquire a drinking establishment license in March.
Zoning regulations prevent liquor sales in the residential area that Bullwinkle's is located in. However, because Bullwinkle's was established before the regulations were set, the bar was give the status of a non-conforming use. David
Corliss, city attorney, said the city thought that changing from a cereal malt beverage establishment to a drinking establishment was an expansion of that use that it did not think was allowed.
However, Colliser argued that because Bullwinkle's previously had the status of a drinking establishment, regaining that status was not an expansion of use. Colliser also pointed out that the Jayhawk Cafe, 1340 Ohio St., under the same circumstances, had no problem obtaining its zoning certificate in 1998.
obtaining its acting chief counsel Kennedy said the City Commission was united in the decision to recommend the city attorney appeal the case.
"We just need to make sure that we have the right zoning and the right formula for allowing a non-conforming use in specific areas of town that do affect neighborhoods," he said.
State board receives not so noble award

Kansas education group wins magazine's prize
By Jim O'Malley Special to the Kansan
At last night's ninth annual Ig Nobel Prize ceremony at Harvard University's Sanders Theater in Cambridge, Mass., a panel that included four Nobel Prize winners awarded the Kansas and Colorado state boards of education the Ig Nobel Prize for science education.
The State Board of Education won an award last night, but board members who voted in August to de-emphasize evolution in the state's required science curriculum won't be celebrating.
The Ig Nobel Prize ceremony is sponsored by the Annals of Improbable Research, a science humor magazine published six times a year in Cambridge, Mass.

According to the magazine's Web site,
www.improbable.com, the annual Ig Nobel Prize ceremony honors individuals whose achievements "cannot and should not be reproduced."
Past winners listed on the Web site include Troy Hurtubise for developing and personally testing a suit of grizzly bear-proof armor, the prime ministers of India and Pakistan for the aggressively peaceful explosion of nuclear weapons, and the inventor of the pink plastic lawn flamingo.
The Web site says the Ig Nobel Board of Governors does not comment on whether prize-winning achievements might be deemed good or bad.
"As with most things in life, that is entirely a matter for each individual to
Judge, Marc Abrahams, editor of the Annals, said the awards were not intended to mock recipients.
"The idea is just to get people curious about science so they'll look into it themselves and not believe it or disbelieve it just because some authoritative person said so," he said.
Doug Ruden, University of Kansas assistant professor of molecular biosciences, who accepted the Kansas board's prize, was not so neutral in his acceptance speech.
He did not claim any connection to the board, and said he represented Kansas Citizens for Science.

In her acceptance speech, Emily Rosa said that six of seven Colorado board members thought evolution was just a theory, and that in her school, human evolution and the origin of species were not taught.

Board member Harold Voth said opponents of the new standards displayed ignorance of what the board did. He said the board opened up science education to consideration of all theories. Board member Scott Hill said that he appreciated humor.
"It's a little sad that some people don't understand the importance of good science education," he added.
Hill said that people had tried to make fun of Kansans and Kansas values but that those values had made Kansas rank consistently in the top 10 states on standardized test scores.
Janet Waugh, who voted against the new standards, said that she thought the award was priceless, but that she didn't deserve the honor.
"I think probably the members who passed the standards deserve it," she said.

KU center helps army communicate
By John Audlehelm Special to the Kansan
Research done today at the University of Kansas may be used by the U.S. Army of tomorrow.
the University After Next program at Ft. Leavenworth, which seeks to train the next generation of army leaders, and the Information Technology and Telecommunication Center at the University have a number of common research interests, said Roy Carroll, chief of studies and analysis at the program.
Carroll said the University After Next program tried to prepare the Army's next generation of leaders for a full spectrum of missions and to increase both physical and communication speed.
"The UAN explores lowcost solutions to tomorrow's challenges through an extensive network of military, other federal, academic and business partners," he said.
Carroll said the program and the University were just starting to explore common areas of interest.
"No joint projects have been identified yet," he said.
Carroll and Gary Minden, professor of electrical engineering and computer science and chief technologist at the telecommunication center, said one common interest was the development of Rapidly Deployable Radio Network technology.
Minden said the goal was to develop radio nodes that could be placed five to seven blocks apart and allow immediate laptop communication between users.
He said the proposed system was like a cellular phone network that could handle computer data.
With this technology, soldiers could quickly build a communications network,Minden said.
Mindrell Carroll said the military could use radio network technology during an air war, for peacekeeping in East Timor and for humanitarian assistance and relocation of refugees.
Minden said if radio network users wanted to cover the southwest part of campus, they could place radio nodes at strategic positions, such as the bridge on Daisy Hill and 23rd and Iowa streets.
Students on campus could then watch traffic on Iowa Street on their laptops
Judith Galas, manager of marketing and public relations at the telecommunications center, said army personnel toured the center at KU for about an hour on Sept. 1. Participants toured various laboratories, including the Radar Systems and Remote Sensing Laboratory.
Galas said the army officials saw the Remote Sensing Laboratory "sandbox," where they saw sensors that could tell rocks from land mines.
Sensors, which are about the size of an average suitcase, try to detect land mines and differentiate them from rocks, he said.
Minden said the researchers buried land mines, without the explosives, and different depths and angles in the 12-foot-by-12-foot sandbox.
Carroll said the tour of the Information Technology and Telecommunication Center was part of the University After Next program's quarterly review.
"The tour of the ITTC allowed the members of the UAN to see the impressive variety of basic and applied research being conducted at KU," he said.
The telecommunications center works with regional and national companies, uses licensing and sponsored research agreements, and receives industry, federal and state funding.
This is not the first time the center has worked with the military. The center received about $1 million of a military grant to develop the telecommunications aspect of the MAGIC II computer networking program, which was designed to allow users to retrieve and manipulate audio, video, graphic and other forms of battlefield data. Work on MAGIC II began in the Fall 1996.

State budget may be too thin for six universities
Tax cuts should stop for now, and a new dialogue should begin
B because of a state budget shortfall, Gov. Bill Graves has requested a 1 percent across-the-board cut in current year spending. While 1 percent may not sound like much, in real numbers this translates to $4.3 million. The cut means a $6.5 million spending reduction for the Board of Recents, with $2
million cut from the University of Kansas. The most likely immediate impact at the University will be a partial hiring freeze. The proposed budget cut is the result of several fac- tors: tax cuts, increased state
spending and a bad year for agribusiness in Kansas.
Taxpayers in Kansas are at a crossroads. We cannot have it both ways when it comes to yearly tax cuts and yearly increases in spending for education. In light of the recent state budget shortfall, Kansas voters must tighten their belts along with education and quit asking for yearly tax cuts until the state's budget stabilizes.
When that happens, an honest, innovative public discussion should begin to determine the direction of higher education in this state.
Although the governor's critics will be calling for his head on a platter for daring to cut education funding, one fact must be noted. Nearly 70 percent of the state's yearly budget is spent educating students in Kansas. The state would be hard-pressed to increase that percentage even in a good year.
By and large, we get what we pay for in Kansas when it comes to education. The cost of in-state tuition at the University in relation to the quality of instruction is exceptional. The University's
liberal admission policy assures virtually anyone with the required academic skills a place at the table of educational opportunity.
However, we as citizens and voters must remember the flip side of this coin. Although we get what we pay for, we also must pay for what we get. The large percentage of state revenue that pays for education has to come from somewhere. That somewhere is every taxpayer in Kansas.

Perspective
Jennifer Roush for the editorial board
It's time to make the tough choices.
Money not the only factor to quality education in Kansas
Kansans love their schools. We hold education up as one of our prized institutions. We cherish it and have made it a top state priority. And we do a pretty good job at it.
This is how it should be. A solid education prepares children for the future and opens a whole world of possibilities for them. This is important to the state in many ways.
But too often today, people equate money spent with quality education. We need to debunk the myth that spending more money on education ensures that students will perform better in the classroom.
Take the recent quasi-hysteria that has erupted since the state announced that it was experiencing budget shortfalls. All government entities — including education — have been asked to trim 1 percent from their budgets. Frantic cries have been heard from the education community at all levels. Highly paid education executives predict dire consequences and threaten that things will get much worse if the state doesn't come back with big funding increases next year.
It's never easy to make budget cuts. It's certainly not fun. But education in Kansas is not good just because of the money we spend on it. Education is more complex than that.
Let's review the case of the Kansas City, Mo., School District. More than 20 years ago, a district judge ordered all citizens of Missouri to begin funding the Kansas City district because it was segregated. The theory was that by pouring money into the district, education would improve and students of all races would want to attend Kansas City schools.
In 1999, this great experiment in
education has been proven a failure. After $2 billion in state spending, the district now has some amazing facilities but is still pretty segregated and offers a disgraceful education.
The newest occupant of the revolving-door superintendent's office, Benjamin Demps, has been forced to take the revolutionary step of actually requiring students to attend class. This year, if high school students miss more than 13 days of classes per semester, they will not
earn class credit. If the new attendance policy were in place last year, 10,000 of the district's 36,000 students would have been held back.
Money couldn't solve some of the deeper problems of education in Missouri. Corruption, some bad teachers, lack of

parental involvement and political fighting have all contributed to the quagmire. Finding the best way to educate students has not been the priority, and those students who could benefit most from education are the losers in the money grab.
The problem is that Kansas already funds education at a high level in proportion to other state spending. In recent years, nearly 70 percent of the entire state budget has been devoted to education. The six Board of Regents universities alone spend more than $1.2 billion a year, and while they don't get everything they
While the situation in Kansas is quite different, the lesson about money can be applied here.
want, they do receive annual budget increases in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
We are not in the catastrophic situation that some have described. We are in the midst of a $45 million facilities-improvement project. We have a University of Kansas airplane and our own campus police department. We have a plethora of centers, councils, institutes and programs based here. We offer a wide range of academic majors. And tuition is low compared to other states' universities.
These things are not necessarily bad, and, indeed, we as a state may decide they are entirely appropriate. We may even dedicate a higher percentage of the budget to education in the future. But this should be done by setting our priorities rationally rather than trying to make people think education will collapse without huge increases.
Now is a good time to put things in proper perspective rather than respond in the typical knee-jerk fashion. Instead of automatically being outraged at even the mention of a potential education budget cut, let's admit that there's more to education than money.
With earnest students, dedicated professors, committed administration and a reasonable Legislature, we'll get through this temporary belt-tightening. Kansas has a proven track record of supporting its students and a history of reasonable, practical solutions to problems.
Now is not the time for emotional rhetoric or tired scared tactics all in the name of the children. We can do better than that.

I came to the University of Kansas in the Fall of 1997 as a wide-eyed and nervous freshman. I was struggling through the freshman classes — math, English, Spanish, psychology — and I was, at times, homesick. But I had a home away from home: I had my fraternity.
I decided to look around at fraternities during the summer before my freshman year. I met the guys from a few chapters, went to several events during the summer and when asked to join my fraternity, I did.
It has been the best decision I have made in the 20 years of my life.
The fraternity experience has helped me
grow in many ways. Academically, I was supported by a group of men, my brothers, who are committed to high academic standards. When I was looking at fraternities, they told me that the fraternity grade point average is higher than the all-men's average.
I couldn't believe it, but
it was true. And that fact
has remained true since I
have been here.
BOLTON
Socially, I was constantly surrounded by people.
Brian Cooper guest columnist www.pearson.com
True, any communal living experience will force you to relate to people, but a fraternity is different. We aren't just there to live together. We are all members of an organization that stands for high scholarship, service to the community and the campus and personal development. The KU fraternity community has a great reputation around the nation, and I am glad to be a part of it.
The leadership experience that I have gained by being a member of a fraternity has been incredible. How many opportunities does one have to voice concern and discuss issues facing an organization? It's different in a fraternity because every member has a vested interest in the improvement of the organization. Otherwise, they wouldn't be there.
I know fraternities have reputations or stereotypes from several populations around campus. One rumor may be that fraternities haze their new members. This is not the case. I was never forced to do any activity that I didn't want to do. The Animal House image is definitely not true in Lawrence.
Later in life I will appreciate the fraternity experience that I have here at the University. I will be able to network and associate with fraternity alumni in whatever city I live in after graduation.
However, life in a fraternity is more than meetings, community service events and parties. It's those times when you're having a rough day and you just need someone to talk to you. It's staying up until 4 a.m. playing pool talking about what's going on. It's weekend road trips to chapters of your fraternity on different campuses. The intangible things are the ones that I will remember the most about my fraternity experience.
I feel very fortunate to have two years left of my undergraduate fraternity experience. As a freshman, it helped me so much to be a member of a fraternity. There is an incredible opportunity for students to look at fraternities coming up next week. Fraternity recruitment is from Oct. 3 to 8.
During this time, you will have the opportunity to look at 18 excellent KU fraternities. By the end of the week, through a mutual selection process, you will be matched to a fraternity. Don't worry guys; it's not like the women's recruitment system. I guarantee you that the fraternity men will not stand on their porch and sing to you. If they do, we have some problems.
Recruitment books are available at all of the University residence halls, Naismith Hall, and the Interfraternity Council office at 424 Kansas Union. Give us a call at 864-3559 or look for us on Wescoce Beach all this week.
There are more than 1,600 men currently active in KU's fraternity community. Since our beginnings in 1873, many men have passed through the experience that we are having right now. We want more men to share in our fraternity experience, so sign up for recruitment today.

I don't fault Bob Hustwit or Mike McMaster for their enthusiasm for Iceland. I spent six weeks studying there this summer and liked it very much. However, neither Mr. Hustwit nor Mr. McMaster have ever actually been. Mr. Hustwit has "been to Iceland in (his) imagination," and though he has had forty years to jump on an Icelandair flight, he never has. McMaster's misinformed reasons for liking Iceland are interesting.
Visit Iceland, then talk about it
Feedback
Iceland does have the oldest legislative assembly, the Althing. It consists of a nice view, a flag of Iceland and some wooden bleachers. Nearby is a small waterfall where wayward women were
tied up and drowned contemporary to these legislative proceedings. It is as if the capital had gallows in front of it.
Icelanders look very little like Bjork. They look like Cameron Diaz and Courtney Cox — which is a very good thing. By the way, Bjork lives in London and rarely visits home. Perhaps she doesn't visit because Iceland is one of the most expensive and isolated places on the planet: $9 for a snack at McDonalds and $7 for a pint of Guinness. I found Iceland much more expensive than Paris. Also on an island you can't visit surrounding countries by rail like you can on the continent. What would you rather see: "inexpensive" Paris or costly Reykjavik?
Americans are often accused abroad of making sweeping generalizations about things they have never experienced. Mr. Hustwit should charge for access to his site so he can actually see if his imagination lives up to the real thing. If not, we should stick to speaking about places we have actually visited — like downtown Lawrence.
Lee Taylor Omaha, Neb., senior
Iceland's name isn't a "trick." It was named by an early explorer who was looking at the ice packs on the Westfjords — the antlers to the reindeer Iceland resembles. Iceland is a beautiful, volcanic island, but at almost 50 degrees north of Hawaii, a bitterly cold one. Winter clothes in July were the rule.

the pattern of the injuries was consistent with a person lying in the road, and the death was ruled an accident.
Wilks had been at the club and left on foot before the accident.
In June, Wallace was arrested and charged with sexual exploitation of a child. He has been accused of allowing a 15-year-old girl to dance at the club. Wallace is free on $12,500 bond for the felony charge.
Assistant District Attorney Dave Zabel said that a hearing was scheduled for Oct. 13 on a motion to dismiss filed by Wallace's attorney.
In a preliminary hearing, the girl, now 16, said she told Wallace that she was 17 turning 18, but that he did not require her to produce identification.

Wallace said that the girl had showed him false identification before being hired.
"I almost believe it's a setup," Wallace said.
Wallace said he thought some county officials had a grudge against him and were trying to undermine his business.
"They've been trying to shut me down since the day we opened," he said. "They can't find a legal reason, so they've been playing games."
Wallace pointed to his latest run-in with county officials as an example.
The county and Kansas Power and Light cut off electrical power to The Outhouse on Sept. 13 after Wallace's attorney sent a letter to

Kansas Power and Light stating that the electrical wiring at the building was not safe. Wallace said he notified the county that he wanted to upgrade his electrical system to make it more safe. KPL and Keith Dabney, director of zoning and codes for Douglas County, found that the system was indeed unsafe and turned off power to the club.
Dabney said that the upgrade Wallace proposed would constitute structural change and would require closure of the building because it was not within a commercially zoned area. Instead, it is in an agricultural zoning district.
The building is allowed nonconforming uses because it fell under a grandfather clause when the agricultural zoning regulation
was passed. Significant structural changes are not allowed for nonconforming uses.
Wallace said that he didn't think that the electrical upgrade was a significant structural change, and that the county was just trying to keep him from improving his business.
Dabney said that the repairs that the club needed would only take a matter of hours to complete and that once completed, the club could have power restored.
Wallace said he was taking the matter to court and had been using a generator to keep his club open while the electricity was off.
Dabney said that Wallace's claims of prejudice against him were unfounded. He said that even though The Outhouse was a source of complaints by neighbors for noise, trash and lighting the business was being treated like other business.
Lt. Don Crowe from the Sheriff's Department said that the club had received some complaints, but not a particularly high number.
Wallace said that he not encountered much negative reaction from the community.
"Actually, public support has been pretty high for me," Wallace said.
Wallace said that neither his legal problems nor his battle with the county would hinder the prosperity of his club which he said had been very profitable.
"It's here to stay," Wallace said.
"It'll be here longer than any county official will be in office."
Alumni of three schools converge on campus for reunion
Edited by Chris Hopkins
By Amanda Kaschube
Kansan staff writer
Convincing alumni to return to their college years may be hard for some schools but not for the University of Kansas. More than 400 people are estimated to return for the reunions of the School of Pharmacy, School of Education and School of Law this weekend.
Gall Heim, 1969 graduate of the School of Pharmacy, said she loved returning to Lawrence because the school had been so good to her.
to return today.
Gene Hotchkiss, assistant to the dean of pharmacy, said alumni from Illinois, South Dakota, Ohio, Texas and other states were slated
"I haven't been back to a class reunion in 30 years," she said. "I want to see my classmates. It will be a good time."
"The School of Pharmacy is the smallest school on campus," he said. "We only have 2,500 living alumni. There's a lot of camaraderie."
At 9:30 a.m., pharmacy alumni will participate in a golf tournament at Lawrence Country Club, 400 Country Club Terrace. Malott Hall will offer student tours for alumni starting at 3:30 p.m., so that alumni can see the new additions to the building.
rotchkiss said that 50 people had registered for the golf tournament.
"In the pharmacy school, you're not a number," he said. "You develop life-long friendships."
The school also will offer a reception and banquet at 6:30 tonight at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union, and there will be a tailgate party at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow at the
parking lot of Memorial Stadium.
parking lot of memorial stadium. The school has been sponsoring reunions for five years, with each year honoring a different class. This year honors the years ending in nine (1949, 1959, 1969 and so on), and the class of 1974.
The School of Education also will be celebrating something special this weekend — 90 years of providing students with an education degree.
Allison Rose Lopez, advancement officer for the school, said the two-day celebration showed the tremendous support of the school's alumni.
"The School of Education alumni feel a connection to the school," she said. "They have a very strong base and they are supportive of our mission."
Beginning at 7 tonight, education alumni will be surrounded by their classmates for dinner at the
Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St.
Tomorrow, a 30-by-45-foot tent will be erected next to Joseph R. Pearson Hall for a two-hour party beginning at 10:30 a.m. Pearson is being renovated to serve as the new School of Education building in Fall 2000.
"There will be giveaways there, too," she said.
The school also reserved a block of seats at the football game so that its alumni could sit together and remember old times.
During halftime, Chancellor Robert Hemenway will present awards for teaching excellence to three education alumni.
"A lot of people have> shown interest in the events," Lopez said. "People are flying in from all over
the country. It will be a great event."
For alumni of the School of Law, there will be a postgame reception with beverages and hors d'oeuvres at the Holiday Inn Holidome, 200 McDonald Drive.
Sandy Patti, director of alumni relations at the school, said about 150 to 200 people were expected to come to the annual event.
"It's a good opportunity to come back to KU and get acquainted with the area," she said. "They are coming from all over the country."
Heim, who also met her husband Jim while at the school, said she was looking forward to reminiscing with her classmates.
"I feel the University has been very good to us," she said. "We received an outstanding education and we've had great careers."

Outhouse survives accidents, allegations

the pattern of the injuries was consistent with a person lying in the road, and the death was ruled an accident.
Wilks had been at the club and left on foot before the accident.
in June, Wallace was arrested and charged with sexual exploitation of a child. He has been accused of allowing a 15-year-old girl to dance at the club. Wallace is free on $12,500 bond for the felony charge.
Assistant District Attorney Dave Zabel said that a hearing was scheduled for Oct. 13 on a motion to dismiss filed by Wallace's attorney.
In a preliminary hearing, the girl, now 16, said she told Wallace that she was 17 turning 18, but that he did not require her to produce identification.
Maryland
Wallace said that the girl had showed him false identification before being hired.
Wallace said he thought some county officials had a grudge against him and were trying to undermine his business.
"I almost believe it's a setup," Wallace said.

"They've been trying to shut me down since the day we opened," he said. "They can't find a legal reason, so they've been playing games."
Wallace pointed to his latest run-in with county officials as an example.
The county and Kansas Power and Light cut off electrical power to The Outhouse on Sept. 13 after Wallace's attorney sent a letter to
Kansas Power and Light stating that the electrical wiring at the building was not safe. Wallace said he notified the county that he wanted to upgrade his electrical system to make it more safe. KPL and Keith Dabney, director of zoning and codes for Douglas County, found that the system was indeed unsafe and turned off power to the club.
Dabney said that the upgrade Wallace proposed would constitute structural change and would require closure of the building because it was not within a commercially zoned area. Instead, it is in an agricultural zoning district.
The building is allowed nonconforming uses because it fell under a grandfather clause when the agricultural zoning regulation
was passed. Significant structural changes are not allowed for nonconforming uses.
Wallace said that he didn't think that the electrical upgrade was a significant structural change, and that the county was just trying to keep him from improving his business.
Wallace said he was taking the matter to court and had been using a generator to keep his club open, while the electricity was off.
Dabney said that the repairs that the club needed would only take a matter of hours to complete and that once completed, the club could have power restored.
Dabney said that Wallace's claims of prejudice against him were unfounded. He said that even though The Outhouse was a source of complaints by neighbors for noise, trash and lighting the business was being treated like other business.
Lt. Don Crowe from the Sheriff's Department said that the club had received some complaints, but not a particularly high number.
Wallace said that he not encountered much negative reaction from the community.
"Actually, public support has been pretty high for me," Wallace said.
sau. Wallace said that neither his legal problems nor his battle with the county would hinder the prosperity of his club which he said had been very profitable.
had been very positive.
"It's here to stay," Wallace said.
"It'll be here longer than any county official will be in office."
Alumni of three schools converge on campus for reunion
— Edited by Chris Hopkins

Kansan staff writer
Convincing alumni to return to their college years may be hard for some schools but not for the University of Kansas. More than 400 people are estimated to return for the reunions of the School of Pharmacy, School of Education and School of Law this weekend.
Gail Heim, 1969 graduate of the School of Pharmacy, said she loved returning to Lawrence because the school had been so good to her.
"I haven't been back to a class reunion in 30 years," she said. "I want to see my classmates. It will be a good time."
Gene Hotchkiss, assistant to the dean of pharmacy, said alumni from Illinois, South Dakota, Ohio, Texas and other states were slated.
to return today.
"The School of Pharmacy is the smallest school on campus," he said. "We only have 2,500 living alumni. There's a lot of camaraderie."
At 9:30 a.m., pharmacy alumni will participate in a golf tournament at Lawrence Country Club, 400 Country Club Terrace. Malot Hall will offer student tours for alumni starting at 3:30 p.m., so that alumni can see the new additions to the building.
Hotchkiss said that 50 people had registered for the golf tournament.
"In the pharmacy school, you're not a number," he said. "You develop life-long friendships."
The school also will offer a reception and banquet at 6:30 tonight at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union, and there will be a tailgate party at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow at the
parking lot of Memorial Stadium.
The school has been sponsored by reunions for five years, with each year honoring a different class. This year honors the years ending in nine (1949, 1959, 1969 and so on), and the class of 1974.
The School of Education also will be celebrating something special this weekend - 90 years of providing students with an education degree.
Allison Rose Lopez, advancement officer for the school, said the two-day celebration showed the tremendous support of the school's alumni.
"The School of Education alumni feel a connection to the school," she said. "They have a very strong base and they are supportive of our mission."
Beginning at 7 tonight, education alumni will be surrounded by their classmates for dinner at the
Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St.
Tomorrow, a 30-by-45-foot tent will be erected next to Joseph R. Pearson Hall for a two-hour party beginning at 10:30 a.m. Pearson is being renovated to serve as the new School of Education building in Fall 2000.
Rose Lopez said a '60s string band would perform for alumni while they ate.
"There will be giveaways there, too," she said.
The school also reserved a block of seats at the football game so that its alumni could sit together and remember old times.
During halftime, Chancellor Robert Hemenway will present awards for teaching excellence to three education alumni.
the country. It will be a great event."
"A lot of people have shown interest in the events," Lopez said. "People are flying in from all over
event.
For alumni of the School of Law, there will be a postgame reception with beverages and hors d'oeuvres at the Holiday Inn Holidome, 200 McDonald Drive.
Sandy Patti, director of alumni relations at the school, said about 150 to 200 people were expected to come to the annual event.
"It's a good opportunity to come back to KU and get acquainted with the area," she said. "They are coming from all over the country."
Heim, who also met her husband Jim while at the school, said she was looking forward to reminiscing with her classmates.
"I feel the University has been very good to us," she said. "We received an outstanding education and we've had great careers."

Handicapped students find current services lacking

takers for handicap students, but they don't."Mariago said. "I don't have note takers that go to class with me because they want us to be more independent."
Lorna Zimmer, director of Services for Students with Disabilities, said that she was surprised to hear comments like Magario's because the program welcomes student complaints.
Magariar said she wanted to create an organization on campus that would extend services and raise money to provide a network of note takers.
Cassio Furtado, international student senator, said he had spoken with Magario and would be glad to help her present her proposal to Student Senate. Anyone interested in Magaro's organization may contact her at awakeku@hotmail.com.
Zimmer said that the University would be glad to work with Magaria.
would be胶 to work with Magaro.
"I think that it's a great idea to organ
ize as a student organization." she said.
Magario said that the lift van services offered to students with disabilities, subcontracted to the Lawrence Bus Company, also could be improved.
"The they say that blind students shouldn't take the lift vans unless they have some other physical problems or if it is raining," she said. "The problem is, how can you schedule the lift van because of rain when you don't know when it's going to rain?"
Previously, Magario could not employ the lift van services because being blind was her only disability. Two years ago, she was struck by a car while in a campus crosswalk. Her head shattered the car's windshield, and she broke several ribs and two vertebrae. Her dog suffered internal injuries but has recovered.
The accident left her with arthritis, which allows her to use the lift van.
Holly Krebs, transportation coordinator, said that the number of vans varied from year to year and that blind students could use regular KU on Wheels services because they are allowed to bring their dogs onto the bus.
Ryan Vleck, Wilson junior who has been confined to a wheelchair since he broke his neck in a car accident four years ago, said he had no complaints with the lift van service.
"The lift van is excellent." Vlcek said. "They have done everything to accommodate me."
Jennifer Echols, Olathe junior, said she thought the University did not provide many services because they wanted to instill a sense of independence among disabled students.
"But by doing so, they often make you feel like a burden instead of an asset to the University," said Echols, who was born blind.
Echols said she no longer worked with Services for Students with Disabilities because of how it is run.
"I don't like their general attitude. Echols said.

Nigerian Association to gather to celebrate independence day
By Lesley Simmons
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Members of the Nigerian Association of Lawrence will celebrate Nigeria's independence day tonight by gathering to eat traditional foods such as fufu, meat pie, puffu, pounded vamb and ogbono soup.
Larry Ojelley, a 1923 graduate from florin, Nigeria, said fufu was a dish similar to mashed potatoes served with stew and spinach. Puffupf is made out of flour and yeast, like bread, but instead of baking it an oven, it is cooked in boiling grease. A combination of herbs make up obboan soup. Ojelley's family will be hosts of the celebration.
Oileye said independence day activities in Nigeria were similar to independence day activities here, except that fireworks had been banned for safety reasons.
Uzo Obineche, Lagos, Nigeria graduate student, said he remembered the joyous atmosphere in Nigeria on
independence day, but he said he wouldn't be homesick.
"It's like you're out of town and missed a friend's party," he said.
Some Nigerian students said dancing, visiting and eating with relatives and friends and displaying traditional artifacts were common activities on independence day.
England relinquished control of Nigeria on Oct. 1, 1960.
This year's independence day is special because it is the first time in more than 10 years that Nigeria has celebrated independence day under a civilian government.
President Olusegun Obasanjo was elected in February and has been in office since May. He was president once before when Nigeria was controlled by the military. Obasanjo orchestrated a transition from military control to democracy that lasted from 1979 to 1983.
Rex Dikeogu, Aba, Nigeria graduate student, said he saw the new civilian government as a new start for
Nigeria.
"We're just happy that the country is changing from its old repressive ways," he said. "I think people can actually express their opinions."
Leonardo Villalon, associate professor of political science, said Nigeria was a large and important power in sub-Saharan Africa and a potential economic power. Nigeria is a member of Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and has a population of 110 million people, the largest population in sub-Saharan Africa.
He said Nigeria's transition to civilian rule was encouraging but that holding elections didn't make a country a democracy.
"Nigeria has made a transition to civilian rule, but it's too soon to tell whether a democratic system has been put in place," he said.
Dikengu said that he would have to wait and see the progress but that he looked forward to moving back to Nigeria some day.

Sand Rats to hold annual river race
By Mike Zielke Special to the Kansan
May the best rat win.
Rine Sand Rat Running Club, a running club with a different kind of cause, will be holding its ninth annual Sand Rat Trail Run at 8:30 a.m. Sunday on the River Trail. The River Trail lies northeast of Lawrence and parallels part of the north bank of the Kansas River.
Race day registration starts at 7:30 a.m. at John Taylor Park, at Walnut and Seventh streets in North Lawrence.
The club doesn't charge the high entry fees of other races, often $30 to $50. This race, which is about 15 kilometers depending on the weather, finds sponsors so the runners don't have to pay an entry fee.
"Our race is a formal protest of other, more expensive races." Riley said.
'Sand rat' was a derogatory name given to the children of
Lawrence residents who refused to move after the big flood in the 1950s.
"We got nicknamed the sand rats, and the name stuck," said Steve Riley, club president. "We started out over nine years ago as a group of runners who just got together for fun, but the fun runs got faster and faster, so we decided to have a race."
Riley said that the race was free but that runners could purchase a $6 commemorative t-shirt.
The club meets at 6 p.m. every Wednesday at the Lawrence High School track for fun runs.
"Anyone interested is invited,
and there are groups of all
ability levels so no one will
feel left out." Riley said.
"I enjoy running on the River Trail in the winter
Jim Dicker, a nine-year veteran of the club, said he enjoyed introducing Lawrence residents to the River Trail.
because the trees offer protection from the elements," Dicker said. "You can run on the River Trails on a hot summer day, be in the shade and feel the breeze off the river. It's a great place for a race."
The trail's surface is sandy, which makes it a forgiving surface for running. The undulating trail has countless corners, making it feel like a roller coaster ride.
The race attracts between 150 to 200 participants each year. The Rug Rats one-mile fun run, a race for kids, will follow the start of the adult race. The awards for the winners are plastic rats.
Pre-race registration forms may be found at local sports stores. Runners may also register online at www.sandrats.com. For more information about the Sand Rat Trail Run, call Steve Riley at 842-4351.

Ice Cube and George Clooney star in Three Kings, also featuring Mark Wahlberg and Spike Jonze. Director David O. Russell successfully combines action and drama in this movie about the Gulf War, which opens tonight.
Contributed photo
Three Kings worth its weight in gold
Wahlberg shines; movie could gain Oscar attention
Kansan movie critic
The first 10 minutes of *Three Kings* resembles an MTV commercial for *The Grind: Desert Storm Party!*. A group of soldiers celebrating the end of the war, jumping around to early '90s hip-hop and getting drunk. I went into this movie wary of this comedic way of looking at war. After Saving Private Ryan, no one's laughing anymore. But I soon realized that the music video tone of the beginning was central to the film, because it mirrored the soldiers' attitude towards the war at that time, and contrasted so nicely with the serious attitude they come to adopt as the movie develops.
This movie was, by far, the best movie I've seen all year. It has Oscar written all over it.
On the technical side, the direction and cinemagraph is incredible. David O. Russell (Flirting with Disaster) is experimental but stays away from the cliche shots used in music videos and commercials—the only true experimental media today
— and remains inventive. He works nicely with cinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel (Usual Suspects, Apt Pupil), getting some impressive time-lapse shots and a great bullet's-point-of-view angle that illustrates the grisly effects of gunfire a little too vividly. The handheld sequences all appear at appropriate times — when this was a music video fad, action movies started using them far too much.
All four main characters are equally wonderful as unwilling army reservists who evolve from greedy opportunists to noble soldiers. Spike Jonze makes his acting debut as Conrad Vig, a not-so-bright private
Commentary
from a small town who tags along on the mission. Jonze is best known for his prominence as a director of music videos.
Most impressive was Mark Wahlberg. In an intense torture sequence in which he and Iraq Capt. Sa'id (Sa'id Taghmaini) discuss wartime politics and losing their families, he does not buckle easily and does not whine about how he was just a reservist and had no stake in this war. Instead, he upholds that
he agrees with the U.S. point of view, and both men learn something about the other side. At one point, Sa'id says — referring to M i c h a e l Jackson's skin becoming whiter— "Your sick country makes the black man hate himself."
Another tie to U.S. race relations occurs earlier in the movie when the three men walk into a room of stolen goods, and Chief Elgin (Ice Cube) catches his first glimpse of the Rodney King videotape on a stolen TV.

Film combines political speech with big action

PLOT SUMMARY
Turning an action/adventure movie into something that examines the morality of war is a difficult thing to do. Somehow David O. Russell, the ambitious director and writer of *Three*
At the end of the Gulf War, three American soldiers (Ice Cube, Mark Wahlberg and Spike Jonze) find a map with the secret location of an Iraqi bunker. They suspect the bunker is filled with gold stolen by the Iraqis as they were leaving Kuwait. Together with Archie Gates (George Cloney), a seasoned green beret, the soldiers set out across the desert, expecting to quickly pick up the gold, be back by lunch time and be set for life.
Entering the rural Iraqi village where the bunker is located offers the American soldiers their first interaction with Iraqi civilians. The people they see are poor, hungry and being kept under strict control by the Iraqi army. After finding the gold and witnessing the persecution of the destitute Iraqi citizens, the soldiers take it upon themselves to bring 50 or so of the civilians across the border to Iran, so they can be free of Saddam Hussein's control.
Help comes to them, however, in the form of Iraqi freedom fighters battling the forces of Hussein.
Private Ryan and Platoon, but we didn't live through them. Hearing music we grew up with and seeing familiar situations makes this film a winner.
Kings, manages to do just that.
The overall thrust of *Three Kings* — that the U.S. Army let the Iraqi people down by not re moving Saddam from power and by encouraging, but not aiding, armed resistance against their leader by Iraqi militia groups — is a complicated one. It's a topic that enjoyed only brief public debate, which was largely drowned out by cheers of victory after the Gulf War.
Three Kings, with regard to its more serious message, can be measured by audience reaction to the film.
Guns, explosions and killing are pro im en t throughout the film. Initially it seemed that, as
Commentary
in most action movies, the violence was for the primary purpose of entertaining dull-witted people. But the effectiveness of
At the beginning of the movie, Mark Wahlberg's character shoots and kills an Iraqi soldier who may or may not have been resisting surrender to the U.S. forces. At the screening I went to, this was met with a huge laugh. The pattern continued through the first third of the movie: general hilarity at the killing of Iraqis. As the movie's plot develops, though, audience reaction to the violence changed.
While U.S. involvement in Iraq would definitely make an interesting full-length documentary, the movie's producers exposed a much broader audience to the moral issues surrounding U.S. policy in the Persian Gulf. Truth be told, only a few thousand people who already have an interest in the U.S.'s failings in the Gulf War might go to see a documentary on it. By targeting fans of action movies, the producers are reaching a group of people who might otherwise remain ill informed, or at least unconcerned.
Three Kings does have short-comings. All but a few of the Iraqi charters are portrayed either as senseless brutes, the pawns of Saddam Hussein, or destitute, ignorant people who can do nothing but scream and wail. The plot twists, which help the soldiers in their quest, seem a bit too convenient.
Three Kings is a unique political commentary that is worth seeing. And if that's more than your friends can handle, tell them there are lots of explosions.

Strong earthquake hits southern Mexico; seven dead, several injured
The Associated Press
MEXICO CITY — A strong earthquake rocked southern Mexico yesterday, toppling church towers and old homes in Oaxaca and shaking buildings in the capital. At least seven people were killed and an unknown number injured.
The quake had a preliminary magnitude of 7.5, and it was centered 275 miles southeast of Mexico City, the U.S. Geological Survey in Golden, Colo., said. It hit at about 11:30 a.m.
"The world is coming to an end!" a secretary screamed as she and dozens of others ran out of the state legislature building after the 11:30 a.m. quake.
Moderate damage was reported in Oaxaca City, the state capital, where church steeples and many homes collapsed.
Gov. Jose Murat Casab said seven people died in his state, the government news agency Notimex reported. Two deaths occurred when a doorway collapsed at a store in Oaxaca City, crushing a man and a woman who had taken refuge underneath. Another man was crushed by debris while fleeing from his office.
Two more women died in the small village of Santo Domingo Teojomulco and one in San Jose del Progreso. Also a 12-year-old girl in Tuxtepec died of a heart attack that was attributed to the quake, Notimex reported.
Only minor damage was reported in Huatulco, a popular tourist resort near the enicenter.
And in the nearby resort of Puerto Escondido, 15 buildings were damaged and electricity was cut. City Hall representative Norma Alquitra said no one was hurt.
About 300 houses were badly damaged in the state, Murat Casab said.
Federal environmental officials said water and sewage treatment plants were damaged in 95 percent of Oaxaca state. Notimed reporte
In Mexico City, thousands of people rushed out of offices and gathered along Reforma Avenue and other major thoroughfares in the capital, staring at skyscrapers that were visibly moving. Shattered glass was seen falling from some buildings.
The quake was felt as far south as Chiapas state, 500 miles southeast of Mexico City. It bounced some cars onto sidewalks along Mexico City roads.
Mexico City, one of the world's largest cities with nearly 20 million residents in the metro area, last suffered a major quake on Sept. 19, 1985 when an 8.1-magnitude quake struck and killed at least 9,500 people.
A magnitude-6.7 quake on June 15 in a sparsely populated mountain area 165 miles southwest of Mexico City killed at least 17 people and injured nearly 200. More than 7,700 homes were damaged or destroyed, mostly in Oaxaca and Puebla states.
Leak contaminates Japanese workers
Thousands ordered to stay at home
The Associated Press
TOKYO—A major leak at a uranium-processing plant in northeastern Japan yesterday sent radiation levels skyrocketing and contaminated dozens of workers, sending at least three to the hospital.
The nuclear reaction, which prompted authorities to order 310,000 residents to remain in their homes, continued throughout the day. Workers began removing water from the cooling equipment around the tank to stop it, said Eiichiro Watanbe, a science and Technology Agency.
"A major accident resulting in a radioactive leak has happened," said Koji Kitani, president of JCO Co., the
Company officials said they thought that while radioactivity was released into the atmosphere, the radioactive material itself remained contained.
private company that operates the plant. "We apologize from the bottom of our hearts."
Hiromu Nonaka, the top government representative, called the accident unprecedented, and officials said no previous Japanese accident had left workers so seriously injured. About 150 people were evacuated from the area around the plant in the town of Tokaimura, 70 miles northeast of Tokyo.
In Washington, President Clinton expressed deep concern and said the United States would do whatever it possibly could.
Energy Secretary Bill Richardson said the United States and Russia were prepared to send a joint team of nuclear experts to Japan. He said the United

Radiation levels around the plant were 10,000 times higher than normal at
one point, and about 10 times more than normal 11/4 miles from the accident.
said Tatsuo Shimada, a state official.
The exposed workers initially were taken to a local hospital. They were later flown to a medical center specializing in radiation sickness.
Two of the workers — Hisashi Ouchi, 35, and Masato Shinohara, 39 — were in critical condition, said hospital official Yukio Kamakura. They were in a state of shock and had fever and diarrhea. All three had an unusually high white blood cell count, although Yutaka Yokokawa, 54, was alert and able to walk, he said.
A total of 34 other workers were being examined for possible contamination.
Hair samples from 11 workers showed traces of radioactivity, said Tsuhitoh Matsuzaki, a local official. The level of their exposure immediately wasn't known.
U.S., South Korean governments promise inquiry into mass killings
The Associated Press
SEOUL, South Korea — The South Korean and U.S. governments promised full investigations yesterday into accounts of mass killings of refugees by U.S. Army troops at the South Korean hamlet of No Gun Ri in 1950.
Survivors of No Gun RI, reacting to an Associated Press report in which their accounts were corroborated by U.S. veterans, had demanded a full inquiry by Washington.
least 100 died.
The news of the findings on No Gun Ri was headlined on front pages and in newscasts throughout South Korea.
The survivors' group said 300 people were killed in the mass shooter after 100 died in an air attack in late July 1950, during the early weeks of the Korean War. Ex-Gls said at
Asked about No Gun Ri at a Parliament hearing on ministry matters yesterday, the South Korean defense minister, Cho Sung-tae, said he might ask for U.S. cooperation in the South Korean probe.
"The ministry is checking whether it is true or not," he said of the report. "If necessary, we will try to get declassified U.S. military documents and will conduct a field investigation."
In Washington, President Clinton told reporters Defense Secretary William Cohen supported the investigation. The president's national security adviser, Sandy Berger, called the news report obviously deeply disturbing.
Army Secretary Louis Caldera, briefing reporters, said the new information demanded that it be
looked into. He said he expected a Pentagon investigation to take at least a year and to include interviews with veterans of the Army unit involved at No Gun Ri.
If the Pentagon confirms the allegations, he said, compensation to the survivors would be appropriate.
The Associated Press reported Wednesday that a dozen Army veterans corroborated the core of the Koreans' account of the killings at No Gun Ri, 100 miles southeast of Seoul.
Based on decl classified U.S. military archives, that U.S. commanders at the time issued orders to their troops to shoot civilians in order to guard against disguised North Korean enemy among columns of South Korean refugees.
There was no immediate official comment from communist North Korea.
WWII writer receives Nobel Prize in literature
The Associated Press
STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Guenter Grass, Germany's best-known writer of the post-World War II generation, won the 1999 Nobel Prize in literature yesterday.
The announcement brought a smile from the 71-year-old author.
"I'm happy," he said.
The Swedish Academy cited Grass' first novel, The Tin Drum, published in 1959, for ushering in a new era for German literature.
"Here he comes to grips with the enormous task of reviewing contemporary history by recalling the disavowed and the forgotten; the victims, losers and lies that people wanted to forget because they had once believed in them," the academy said.
Combining naturalistic detail with fantastical images and events, Grass established his reputation with the The Tin Drum, Cat and Mouse and Dog Years, published between 1959 and 1963.
The novels captured the German reaction to the rise of Nazism, the horrors of war and the guilt that lingered in the aftermath of Adolf Hitler's regime.

New York officials continue battle
Museum exhibits accused of being risqué by city
The Associated Press
NEW YORK—City officials have fired another round in their escalating fight with the Brooklyn Museum of Art, accusing the museum of displaying controversial work just to drive up its value.
The accusations made Wednesday by Deputy Mayor Joseph Lhota and the city's top lawyer, Michael Hess, came a day after the museum sued to stop Mayor Rudolph Giuliani from freezing its funding because of the dispute.
Guliani has threatened to cut city funding to the museum because of its decision to display an exhibit that includes an African-American Madonna decorated with elephant dung and pornographic cutouts. The
funding amounts to $7 million, or about one-third of the museum's budget.
The pieces are from advertising executive Charles Saatchi's collection. Lhota and Hess said the museum planned the "Sensation" exhibition, working behind the scenes with Christie's auction house, so the works would fetch high prices at auction once the show closes. Christie is helping sponsor the exhibit.
Lhota cited a New York Observer article that said after the show closed in London. Sasati auctioned 128 pieces from his collection, many of them by artists in the show.
Giuliani, on a fund-raising trip in California, said he had been in touch with Lhota and Hess about their accusations. He said the project raised the question whether a publicly funded museum should engage in shock commercialization.
Saatchi collection to create bursaries (scholarships) for young artists," said Frederick Goetzen, representative for Christie's in London, yesterday referring to a sale in December 1998.
"We sold 130 works from the
He said none of the works sold were in the Sensation exhibit, but a number of them were by artists featured in the show.
But Andree Corroon, a representative for Christie's in New York, said the house had no plans for an auction afterward.
In a statement, the museum called the accusations preposterous and misleading. The show opens tomorrow.
"This bewildering accusation has absolutely no substance, is absolutely not true," she said.
Meanwhile, a federal judge has been asked to decide whether to restore the museum's funding. The museum sued the city Tuesday, saying Giuliani's act violates the First Amendment.
The leaders of two dozen cultural institutions — including the Metropolitan Museum and the Museum of Modern Art — signed a letter protesting the mayor's funding cut.
In Washington, the Senate agreed unanimously Wednesday to a non-binding measure calling for the withholding of federal funds from the museum unless it cancels the exhibit. Independent Sen. Bob Smith of New Hampshire said the museum had received $500,000 from the National Endowment for the Arts in the last three years.
Also Wednesday, singer David Bowie — who recorded an audio tour for museum visitors — joined leaders of major New York City museums in support of the Brooklyn Museum.
"Sensation represents some of the best, worst but definitely most extreme of the high-profile work to have come out of Britain in the last 10 years or so," Bowie said in a statement.
New Mexico governor favors marijuana, heroin legalization
The Associated Press
SANTA FE, N.M.—Gov. Gary Johnson has taken his controversial stance on drugs a step further by announcing that he supports the legalization of substances such as marluiana and heroin.
"I am advocating that I think legalization is a viable alternative to what we are now doing," the Republican said Wednesday.
Johnson said he had no plans to propose legislation to make drugs legal in New Mexico, but said he personally supported legalization as a national policy.
The governor, who has acknowledged using marijuana and cocaine in the 1970s, is an avid athlete who doesn't drink alcohol or use drugs. He contends the national war against drugs has failed to stop the flow or use of drugs, and consumed money that could be better used to stop violent crime.
In the upcoming issue of Playboy, Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura recommends the less drastic approach of decriminalization.
"The prohibition of drugs causes crime." Venture told the magazine. "You don't
have to legalize it, just decriminalize it.
Regulate it. Create places where the addict can go get it."
In the past, Johnson stopped short of advocating legalization and instead focused on decriminalization, which would treat drug possession much like a traffic violation and make it punishable by a small fine.
But Johnson now says decriminalization would not eliminate the black market economy of drug trafficking. Legalization would allow governments to regulate, tax and control drugs, much like alcohol and tobacco.
Johnson expressed support for legalizing marijuana and heroin. He said he didn't know enough about the potential long-term effects of other illegal drugs, such as cocaine, to advocate their legalization.
Johnson's latest position stirred new criticism from some Republicans, who say he is going against the party's national platform that backs strong criminal penalties for drug-related crimes.
"Maybe the next thing he'll do is be bold enough to smoke a joint on TV," said Republican state Sen. Billy McKibben.

Soccer team to face Bears Red Raiders

Kansas sportwriter
The Kansas soccer team will dive back into Big 12 Conference play today when it takes on Baylor at 7 tonight in Waco, Texas.
The Bears, 7-3,1-1 in the Big 12, are ranked 14th in the nation by the National Soccer Coaches Athletic Association and are the defending regular season conference champions.
They bring a solid offensive attack that has netted 23 goals this season. Forwards Courtney Saunders and Nikki Hales headline the offense, but Baylor is weakened with the loss of senior Molly Cameron. Cameron, Baylor's all-time leading scorer, tore her anterior crucitate ligament during the first week of
practice and will miss the entire season.
"They've got two very good forwards," said coach Mark Francis. "We're going to have to shut those two out of the game. Our defense is much better now, though, much more organized."
The Kansas defense will have its hands full, but is confident it knows enough about the Bears to get the job done.
"I played with a couple of their girls this summer, so I kind of know what to expect," said freshman defender Bridget Goyen.
Goyen, who is a native Texan, is looking forward to the return to her home state.
"A lot of my family is going to be there," Goyen said. "It's about 100 miles from my house, and I'll get to see my brothers."
In addition to defensive play, the offense is going to need a big game if Kansas is going to knock off Bavlor.
"We've got to do a better job finishing our chances because against conference teams we're not going to get as many good chances," Francis said.
"With Texas Tech, we have to win to get into the conference tournament. There's no 'if' or what,' we have to."
Bridget Goyen freshman defender
The Jayhawks will travel to Texas Tech to play the Red Raiders at 1 p.m. Sunday. That game could be a must-win if the Jayhawks hope to qualify for the Big 12 tournament.
The top eight teams qualify for the conference tournament, something Kansas has never accomplished before. Texas Tech is one of the teams Francis said his team would need to beat to qualify.
today.
"I think there's some teams in the conference that we are definitely more matched up with than others, and Texas Tech is one of them, along with Oklahoma and Oklahoma State," Francis said. "They're teams that if we show up and play well we should definitely beat."
The Red Raiders, 4-5-1, 0-2, have struggled so far this season. They recently lost a 2-1 overtime game to Texas Christian and will battle 20th-ranked Missouri
His players also realize the importance of a victory against Texas Tech.
"With Texas Tech, we have to win to get into the conference tournament," Goyen said. "There's no 'if' or 'what,' we have to."

"Last year was our breakthrough year," said co-captain Risa Petty. "Before that, we weren't an upper-echelon team. Now we are, and we want to prove that we deserve to be in the NCAAs."
Petty said the Hawks should be even faster this year.

I'm eager to see where we stand."
Co-captain Tara Lynn said that practices had been going well.
"We're on fire," Lynn said. "We're picking up right where we left off last year. We know where we want to go. Our goal is essentially making the NCAA."

8-2 Monday afternoon, the Detroit Tigers
laced up their spikes, tucked in their jerseys and trotted out to their positions on the Tiger Stadium field for the last time.
It was the last major league baseball game played at the corner of Michigan and Trumbull avenues in downtown Detroit.
Navin Field, which has since evolved into modern-day Tiger Stadium, opened its doors for baseball April 20, 1912 — five days after a ship called the Titanic sank in the Atlantic Ocean.
Tiger Stadium was a park built for baseball — its odd corners and peculiar dimensions, an overhang protruding over the right-field wall, its seats so close to the field that fans felt like they could reach out and touch the players and its eerie echoes. No ballpark anywhere is quite the same.
No outpark any where is quite the same.
But the story of this iron cathedral is

It is ironic that the last game at Tiger Stadium would include the Royals, a small-market team struggling to compete in a sport that has become big-business.
Next year, the Tigers will play at state-of-the-art Comerica Park, just a mile from Tiger Stadium, but light-years away in reality. No longer will the words, "Ty Cobb played here," or, "This is where Lou Gehrig ended his consecutive-games streak," be uttered. No one will point to the towering roof in right, and daydream about the day Reggie Jackson hit one out of the stadium in the 1971 All-Star game.
The glorious third deck will instead be luxury boxes, and stretch limos will replace the waves of fans walking to the games.
Where will fans park? Will they continue to help someone earn a few bucks by parking in their yard, or a church lot? Or, they will pay $15 to park in the convenience of a new parking garage.
they would walk across the city and count out their nennies to buy grandstand seats.
Baseball always has been America's pastime. Young and old, rich and poor — all were welcome. But the game is no longer for the average Joe and Jane. It is slowly passing us by.
More than 107 million fans have jammed into Tiger Stadium during its life. But those people were more than a number. They were millions of sons watching batting practice, dreaming that their dads were once major-leaguers, and millions of fathers, praying a foul ball would land in their son's mitt.

everything; jobs, money and in many cases
their homes. In the 1930s, no city was

Detroit.
There will be other memories made in the new ballpark. But how many will be able to enjoy them?
That summer, the Tigers fought their way to first place and slowly pulled away in the standings, won the pennant and the World Series. No one can say with certainty that this glorious summer of Detroit baseball eased tension in the city, but Tiger Stadium was a place of refuge, where for two or three hours, color was transparent.
Thank you Tiger Stadium. We will remember you with pride. For what we have seen, and what you represent.

Kansas State president issues apology to Texas
As if last year's 49-7 loss to Kansas State wouldn't be motivation enough for the Texas football team this weekend, the Longhorns may be spurred by a verbal attack by Kansas State president Jon Wefeld.
The battle started Saturday, when Sporting News columnist Will Leitch wrote

that Will Letch Write a section, entitled "We Hate K-State," in his weekly column. The column stated that K-State was the most hated team in the nation in 1998, that the Wildcats
played a "pretty dirty" brand of football, that K-State was "not all that," and that "we're fully expecting Texas to stomp you in Austin this Saturday."
Wefald responded with a letter that stated that "outside of Texas, very few people cheer for the Longhorns because the University of Texas represents ... incredible wealth and arrogance. Many Texans believe that the world begins and ends with Texas."
Yesterday, Wefalp posted a letter of apology on the K-State athletics Web site saying that Texas was only mentioned because Leitch wrote about how everyone in America would be cheering for the Longhorns this weekend.
"I have a great admiration for the people of Texas and the University of Texas, which is certainly one of the greatest academic institutions in the nation and world," the apology said. "Again, I apologize."

Former Nebraska back may head to Northern Iowa
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa — DeAngelo Evans, the disgruntled Nebraska running back who quit the team two weeks ago, might
be interested in transferring to Northern Iowa to finish his football career.
Evans has been released from his scholarship, and Northern Iowa has received a
N
copy of a letter from Nebraska officials freeing him to talk to other schools, a Northern Iowa administrator said. Northern Iowa coach Mike Dunbar is prohibited by
NCAA rules from talking about potential transfers. But he confirmed yesterday that his office did receive a copy of the letter releasing Evans.
Evans, Wichita junior, has one season of eligibility remaining. If he transferred to a Division I-AA school such as Northern Iowa, NCAA rules would allow him to play next fall.
"We have received a generic letter of release to contact other schools signed by Nebraska's associate athletic director," said Sandra Williamson, Northern Iowa's associate athletic director in charge of compliance. "It was forwarded to me by our football coaches late last week."
Evans' football coach at the Collegiate School in Wichita, Mike Gehrer, said that while he was not involved in helping Evans pick a new school, he had heard that Northern Iowa was one in which he was interested.

Candlestick Park closes after 40 years of baseball
SAN FRANCISCO — The fabled winds were quiet, the familiar shroud of cold and fog nowhere to be seen or felt.
Defying 40 years of history, Candlestick Park, home to Wille Mays, Willie McCovey and Juan Marichal, was the scene yesterday of a long goodbye on a brilliant day for baseball.
Before a roaring crowd, Hall of Famer Marichal, in a business suit and a baseball cap, returned to the mound to throw out the ceremonial first pitch.
Candlestick. Maligned for its bitter weather and isolation, it was also remembered for some of baseball's great moments and its strength in withstanding the October 1989 earthquake that ravaged the Bay area and interrupted the World Series.

Dedicated the year before by Vice President Richard Nikon as "the finest ball-park in America," Candlestick also was the scene of the 16-inning scoreless duel between Marichal and the Braves' Warren Spahn (Mays won it with with a homer), McCovey's 500-foot upper-deck homer in a 1966 loss to the Mets and lefty Dave Dravecky's August 1989 miracle comeback from cancer, in which he beat the Reds.

Hoyas coach, Celtics star to be added to Hall of Fame
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Kevin McHale pushed himself beyond pain and whatever else stood in his way. John Thompson pushed himself and everyone around him until they sometimes felt like shoving back.
The high standards of the Boston Celtics star and the Georgetown coach propelled them into the Basketball Hall of Fame. They will be inducted tonight, along with Cleveland Cavaliers executive Wayne Embry, women's college coach Billie Moore, and the late NBA pioneer and owner Fred Zolner.
During 13 seasons with Boston, McHale played on championship teams in 1981, 1984 and 1986. He made seven NBA All-Star teams.
Thompson captured his share of glory too. During 27 seasons at Georgetown, he stalked the sidelines with a towel habitually draped over his shoulder. Georgetown made 24 straight postseason appearances and three NCAA Final Fours and won the 1984 national championship — the first ever won by an African-American coach.
ive Thompson three tries to reach the Hall of Fame.

Capitals general manager suspended for role in melee
HOCKEY
But it took the outspoken, even combat
NEW YORK — Washington Capitals general manager George McPhee was fined $20,000 and suspended for one month by the NHL yesterday as the result of a fight during an exhibition game with the Chicago Blackhawks. Sept. 25.
In addition, Washington coach Ron Wilson was fined $5,000 and Chicago owner Bill Wirtz was fined $3,000 for comments they made during the investigation conducted by the league.
The fight occurred after the game. McPhee's face was cut and one arm of his suit was torn off when he was surrounded and punched by Blackhawks players. McPhee gave Chicago coach Lome Molleken a black eye. The Washington Post reported.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman conducted a hearing Wednesday with McPhee and Capitals president Richard Patrick.
Penguins ship top defender to Rangers in payroll trim
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Penguins traded their highest-paid defenseman, Kevin Hatcher, to the New York Rangers yesterday for defenseman Peter Popovic, barely 24 hours before the Penguins open the season in Dallas.
The Penguins were eager to trim their payroll after signifying defenseman Darius Kasparaitis to a $3 million, two-year contract on Wednesday. Hatcher was the Penguins' highest-paid defenseman at $3.1 million per season and was the second-high paid player on the team to
Jaromir Jagr's $10.4 million.
Penguins owner Mario Lemieux joked after the Karasaintis signing that general manager Craig Patrick probably was working on a deal to get the payroll less than the $30 million budget set by Lemieux and his advisors.
The 33-year-old Hatcher was the Penguins' most productive offensive defenseman, with 45 goals and 95 assists in 140 career games with them. A 15-year veteran and the brother of the Stars' Derian Hatcher, he is one of only five NHL defensmen to score 30 goals in a season.
Vancouver signs defender to $9.2 million contract
VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks tried to patch up their tattered defense yesterday by coming to terms with restricted free agent Ed Jovanovski on a four-year, $9.2 million contract.
The Canucks also signed free agent defenseman Greg Hawgood.
Vancouver also claimed goaltender Manny Legace off waivers and sent center Matt Cooke to the Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League
Jovanovski, 23. picked first overall by Florida in the 1994 NHL draft, came to the Canucks last year along with goaltender Kevin Weekes in the Pavel Bure trade. The six-foot-two, 210-pound Windsor, Ontario, native had two goals and nine assists in 31 games with the Canucks.
Hawgood, 31, played with the Houston Aeros of the International Hockey League. The 5-foot-10, 190-pound Edmonton native has played nine NHL seasons with six different teams. His one-year deal is believed to be worth $450,000.
Legace was in the Detroit system last year. He played 17 games in the NHL with the Los Angeles Kings and had a 2.60 goals against average.

Yankees smash the Orioles 12-5 take second straight division title
The Associated Press
Scott Brosius hit two homers, and Bernie Williams reached 200 hits for the first time in his career as the Yankees won their second straight division title by defeating the Baltimore Orioles 12-5 yesterday for a split of their day-night doubleheader.
BALTIMORE — It took a lot longer than last year, and the final margin won't be nearly as impressive. Yet the New York Yankees are once again the American League East champions.
The victory eliminated the Boston Red Sox, who will enter the playoffs as the wild-card team.
The Yankees have spent much of the year trying to come up with a sufficient encore their amazing 1998 season, when they went 114-48 and won the World Series. That team clinched the AL EAST crown on Sept. 9 and finished 22 games ahead of second-place Boston.
This year, the Red Sox made the Yankees work a lot harder. But for the third time in four years, New York will enter the postseason as division champions.
In the first game, Mike Mussina pitched seven innings of five-hit ball to lead the Orioles to a 5-0 victory.
Williams and Derek Jeter are the first two Yankee teammates to have 200 hits in a season since Lou Gehrig and Joe DiMaggio did it in 1937. Williams scored the go-ahead run in the fifth inning of the nightcap after hit No. 199 and drove in a run in the sixth with No. 200.
Orlando Hernandez (17-9) allowed three runs on eight hits in seven innings.
New York went up 4-3 in the fifth when
Williams, Tino Martinez and Chili Davis hit successive singles on Jim Corsi (1-3).
Run-scoring scores by Jeter and Davis made it 6-3 in the sixth. Paul O'Neill hit a three-run double in the eighth and Brosius hit a three-run homer.
Yankees
Shane Spencer also homered for the Yankees, who are a game behind Cleveland in the battle for best record in the AL.
Jerry Hairston Jr. had four hits including a homer for the Orioles. Derrick May and Jesse Garcia also homered and B.J. Surhoff had three hits.
Spencer and Brosius hit solo homers in the fourth inning to put New York ahead 3-2, but May tied it in the Orioles' half by hitting Hernandez's first pitch over the right-field wall.
New York got to celebrate its eighth AL East
The Orioles took advantage of Roger Clemens' control problems and built a 4-0 lead after three innings. That was more than enough offense for Mussina, whose 18 wins is tied for second in the AL behind Boston's Pedro Martinez (23).
The right-hander struck out 10 — nine looking — and walked one. Mussina (18-7), who retired 13 straight at one point, is 5-0 in seven starts since Aug. 6.

Mets defeated by Braves in extra innings; coveted playoff spot looks uncertain
Brian Jordan tripled and scored on Ozzie Guillen's sacrifice fly in the 11th inning as the Atlanta Braves handed the Mets their eighth loss in nine games, 4-3 last night.
The game was played with playoff intensity, with the 48,364 fans out of their seats with each key at-bat as they hoped the Mets could continue their magic from Wednesday night, when they beat Greg Maddux and the Braves 9-2. The way the game ended, it might be as close as the playoffs get to Shea Stadium.
With three games remaining, New York trails Houston and Cincinnati by two games in the NL wild-card race. To make the postseason for the first time since 1988, the Mets likely need to sweep Pittsburgh and hope either the Astros or Reds lose at least twice.
NEW YORK — One night after John Olerud put the Mets back into the National League wild-card race, the Atlanta Braves dealt New York's playoff chances a huge blow.
After New York tied the game at 3 in the eighth on Edgardo Alfonzo's 26th homer, the Braves took the lead in the 11th.
Shawon Dunston overran a high fly to right by Jordan leading off the inning, turning a routine out into a triple. Rookie Octavio Dotel (8-3), making his fifth career relief appearance, then intentionally walked Andrew Jones.
Guillen followed with a fly to shallow center and Jordan narrowly beat Darryl Hamilton's throw to break the tie.
Terry Mulholland (10-8) got four outs as the Braves won for the ninth time in 10 games and clinched home-field in the NL playoffs. After Mike Piazza walked with two outs, Robin Ventura hit a game-end flout.
The frustration of the loss led to a fight in the stands by the third-base dugout in the 11th inning, drawing the Braves out of their dugout and the umpires to the stands to check out the melee.
The lone bright spot for New York was that Rey Ordonez didn't make an error for his 96th straight game, breaking Cal Rinken's record for shortstops.

Matches to help coach evaluate younger players
METROVILLE

The Kansas men's tennis team will be able to scout regional teams this weekend at its first team tournament of the season.
The Jayhawks will compete against Arkansas, Southern Methodist and Oklahoma State in the seventh annual Hurricane Tennis Invitational in Tulsa, Okla.
"If we get the opportunity to play schools that we could play again, we get a feel for what the players are like and what they do," said senior Bryan Maier. "It gives us a chance to do a little scouting."
The tournament is called a hidden duel because there is no individual or team winner. The format will give Kansas coach Mark Riley a chance to scout his own players, not just regional opponents.
He is sending tennis players Quentin Blakeney, Ed Dus, Sebastian Libertino, Elearaz Magellan, Maier and Pete Stroer and plans to shake up the lineup a little to give his younger players more experience.
once.
"The one, two and three spots are interchangeable, and so are the four, five and six spots, so I will be able to see the guys play in different spots." Riley said. "I have seen everyone play at national caliber except Quentin, Bryan and Pete. I am going to play them at one, two and three to see how they can do against national caliber opponents."
Because Kansas has a young team with only two upperclassmen, Riley said he would use the fall season to evaluate his players and to determine his spring lineup.
"We are going to try some
different doubles combinations to see who works well together," Riley said. "I am playing Dus, Libertino and Magellan at the four, five and six spots, but that has nothing to do with where the guys are in the lineup. This is still an evaluating situation."
So far, Riley said he had been pleased with this season's team.
"They have a good focus about them." Riley said. "In the past, they have been able to depend on an All-American like Enrique (Aboarra) or Luis (Uribe), but now they don't have that. They have to put it
together as a group, not just sit around and wait for someone else to pick up the slack. I think they know that if they all bring something to the table, we can be very successful, even more successful than last season."
Does this add any extra pressure to Maier, the only senior? "I don't feel much pressure to do anything different," Maier said. "The coaches talked to me about being more responsible for myself and for the team. It is a young team, and I need to give guidance if they need it."

Tennis standouts to participate in inaugural coed tournament
By Brent Briggeman and Melinda Weaver sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriters
Brooke Chiller and Julia Sidorova had seen it all in Kansas tennis.
Or so they thought.
Chiller and Sidorova are the only seniors on the women's tennis team. They have won tournaments in both singles and doubles at every level of play. They were both ranked in the top 10 in their home countries as juniors. Chiller is from Australia, Sidorova is from Latvia.
The two senior captains will travel this weekend to Palo Alto, Calif., to play doubles in the first ever World Team Tennis championships.
"We've been here the longest, so we sort of know the ropes," Sidorova said. "But this will be different."
To play with that kind of experience, one might think nothing could be new.
Mixed doubles, that is.
Chiller and Sidorova will team up with male Jayhawk counterparts Alex Barragan and Rodrigo Echagarray to play in the inaugural tournament. The coed tournament
The Kansas team was one of 15 programs selected to take part in the inaugural event. The tournament's format requires each school to accumulate points through performances in men's and women's singles and doubles, as well as mixed doubles.
"In Australia we'd play a lot of mixed when we were young," Chiller said. "But it's been a long time, plus that was usually on grass surfaces."
Chiller and Sidorova have both played mixed doubles before, but never at this level of competition.

"It will be cool because we are so close," Echagaray said. "We are all really good friends. We have had great support from them in the past, and now we will get the chance to work together."
Kansas will compete against schools such as Duke, Stanford and Notre Dame, but Ehagaray said they did not feel any pressure.
"The teams that have all the pressure are the prestigious teams because they are supposed to win." Echagaray said. "We have nothing to lose. We face different pressure, the kind that comes when you really want to win. It's a different kind of pressure, and it isn't as intense."

Agassi ousted from Grand Slam Cup

tournament nearly three weeks ago. The rustiness showed.
At least the world's top-ranked player pocketed $242,500 to sweeten his 6-0, 6-7 (2-7), 6-4 loss to Tommy Haas, a 21-year-old German.
Haas upset the U.S. Open champions to move into the semifinals of the $6.7 million Grand Slam Cup, which gives out more money per player than any other tournament.

Agassi slowed after Haas broke his serve for a 4-1 lead in the third.
"I felt tired, which was a surprise. I felt so sharp the whole summer," Agassi said.
Agassi and Graf arrived in Munich together on Tuesday, but immediately parted ways. Graf reportedly went briefly to Austria and Berlin before returning home to Heidelberg late Wednesday.
Agassi said he would stay in Munich to practice before going to a tournament in Basel, Switzerland, next week. He said Graf would not be joining him in Munich.

Softball team hopeful, despite injuries
By Joel Francis
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Despite losing two key players to injury, the Kansas softball team hopes to end its fall season with a strong appearance at the UMKC Fall Classic tournament held at Adair Park in Independence, Mo., this weekend.
The team will play Northwest Missouri State at 8 tonight. Tomorrow's games are against Missouri-Rolla at 11 a.m., Creighton at 3:30 p.m. and Jacksonville State at 6:30 p.m. The championship bracket will begin at 11 a.m. Sunday.
"Overall, the quality of this tournament is better," said coach Tracy Bunge. "It will be a good challenge and a better test of our abilities. Hopefully, it will push us more, and
show us more things we need to work on."
First baseman Shannon Stanwix was injured in Sunday's home game against Pittsburg State.
"I went up halfway on a pop fly," said Stanwix, Lawrence senior. "I hit my foot on the bag and twisted my ankle. I don't remember stepping on the bag, or rolling my ankle."
Stanwix said she immediately knew the injury was serious.
"I knew this was not the usual ankle sprain," she said. "I have weak ankles and usually when I roll them I can just walk it off. I knew it wouldn't work this time."
Doctors officially said Stanwix suffered a grade three severe sprain to her ankle. It will be reexamined after three or four weeks of rehabilitation.
Softball
In another blow to the team, mononucleosis was diagnosed in
Leah Tabb, Oklahoma City sophomore, on Monday. She will be out of action for two to three weeks.
"We are a little thin going into this weekend," Bunge said. "Leah and Shannon are power hitters that can hit the ball out at any given appearance."
Stanwix set the team record for most home runs in a season last year with 16.
Katie Campbell and Heather Sims are being called on to replace Stanwix at first base.
"Shannon has been our starter at
first for three straight years." Bunge said. "We will probably have some missed cuts, but it will be a great learning experience for them."
The news is not all bad for the Jayhawk, though. Two weeks ago trainers found a stress fracture in pitcher Kelly Campbell's femur. A new bone scan this week showed it was healing. Campbell has pitched three games this fall, and said she was excited about this weekend
"We're going with a three-pitcher rotation, so I'm ready to go two games or whatever," she said. "I've been working on my change-up this week. Hopefully, everything else will work out in the off season."
Bunge said she hoped the fall season would end on a good note.
"My big thing is, we want to have a good weekend for our last weekend," she said.

Kansas seeks stride after midweek loss
Bv Shawn Hutchinson
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Limping home after a sweeping loss against No. 8 Nebraska on Wednesday night in Lincoln, the Kansas volleyball team will try to get back its stride this weekend.
That's when the Jayhawks will take on the Texas Tech Red Raiders, a team sporting a 10-5 overall record and 0-3 record in the Big 12 Conference. The match will start at 7 tomorrow night at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
The Jayhawks, 10-4 overall and 1-2 in the conference, are 3-3 at home this season. That home record includes victories against Missouri-Kansas City, Chicago State and Wichita State, and losses against Texas Christian, Auburn and No. 7 Texas.
"It'll definitely be nice to play at home this weekend," said Kansas senior middle blocker Amanda Reyes.
Home can be especially comforting
after what happened to the Jayhawks on Wednesday. Kansas was swept by the Cornhuskers thanks to a career night by Nebraska junior outside hit Mandy Monson. Monson posted a season-best 16 kills.
leading her team to a 15-11, 15-6 and 15-7 victory.
In the Jayhawks' two conference losses this season, they have had problems containing some of the premier players in the Big 12. Last week, in Kansas' loss against Texas, Longhorns' sophomore outside hitter Kathy Tilson exploded for 19 kills and no errors, while teammate and All-American candidate Erin Aldrich added 15.
VOLLEYBALL
On Wednesday, Monson chipped in her 16-kill performance, while Nancy Meendering, preseason Big 12 Player of the Year and junior outside hitter, had 10.
The Jayhawks will try to reverse that trend this weekend against a Texas Tech squad that boasts preseason Big 12 Newcomer of the Year and outside hitter Colleen Smith.
"A lot of people thought that when the season started, they would be a top-20 team," said Kansas coach Ray Bechard. "Even though they've started the conference season out at 0-3, they're an extremely quality team, and we're expecting a tough match."
smith leads the team with 180 digs, while middle blocker Lori Garber has a team-high 160 kills and 69 blocks on the season.
Kansas is 0-4 all-time against Texas Tech, which includes two losses last season, one in Lawrence and one in Lubbock, Texas.
The Red Raiders are coming off a home loss Wednesday night against No. 16 Texas A&M. Texas Tech was outhit by the Aggies en route to a 3-15. 10-15 and 10-15 loss.
After Saturday night, the Jayhawks will be on the road again. Kansas will play against the Oklahoma Sooners, 6-7 overall and 1-2 in the Big 12, on Wednesday in Norman, Okla.

Home-run race redo not as good as first
The Associated Press
ST, LOUIIS — Just like in the movies, the sequel to the great home run derby closes with a bang.
McGwire vs. Sosa, man-to-man face-to-face.
The St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs wind up the season with a three-game series beginning tonight, that would

title at stake.
T h e i n
Cardinals are 11 games
below .500,
and the Cubs

than Sosa
had homers.
McGwire: Downplaying the home-run race
entering last night's game in Philadelphia, yet there's no denying a certain electricity.
“It's one of those miracle coincidences that both these guys are playing the last three games of the season against each other,” said Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. “What a treat for our fans.”
McGwire took the lead for the first time since Aug. 18 when he hit Nos. 62 and 63 in a doubleheader sweep of the San Diego Padres Wednesday night. He has homered in each of the past four games, although he insists his charge has absolutely nothing to do with wanting to out-do Sosa.
whoever wins this home run title, we're both over 60 home runs," McGwire said. "So nobody loses, right?
"There's no 'I want to beat him, he wants to beat me.'
That's not going on, but I know the press is trying to get it going."
Sosa, who was ahead 55-51 entering September, had a 30 at-bat homer drought this month and was one behind heading into last night's game in Philadelphia. He was the first player to hit 60 in consecutive seasons and the first to beat Roger Maris' 1961 record
of 61 in consecutive seasons, but just like last year, he's trailing down the stretch.
C
Sosa: Says he isn't the only one out of the field
"Last year was totally different; last year was a record, " McGwire said. "Here, everybody is
talking about a home run title, which up until this last year nobody ever talked about."
McGwire, who had 65 homers with three games to go last year, thinks fans are disappointed that there won't be another challenge to the record.
"People, I think, are spoiled from what we've done last year," McGwire said. "They constantly want more, more, more. It's hard to comprehend that what we've done this year is harder than what we did last year."
Sosa echoed those sentiments.
"The people expect us to go out there and hit a home run every at-bat," Sosa said. "They have to understand that we don't play by ourselves, there's a guy out there trying to get me out."

Frisbee teams hope to increase popularity of sport in Midwest
Continued from page 10A
such an easy task. For example, once a player catches the Frisbee, he or she has to stop running and establish a pivot foot. From there they attempt to throw the disc to one of their teammates, and then that player has to stop. Spotts said that even though the person in possession of the Frisbee was not moving didn't mean other players weren't.
"You're constantly running and sprinting," he said. "Whether you get the Frisbee passed to you or not, you have to go find a new spot. You probably have to run a couple of miles during each game at top speed."
Garan Camastro, Evanston, III., graduate student and member of Betty, the Jayhawk women's ultimate team, said that she liked ultimate because the athletic aspects of the game were so diverse. She also said that the sport tended to intimidate some women because it was so challenging, but that this year Betty had a lot of potential.
"I can definitely see us going to the nationals this year," she said. "We are trying to find girls who can make ultimate their No. 1 priority."
Sport of the week
Both the women's and men's teams qualified for the national tournament last year in Boulder, Colo., though neither was successful. Camastro said that teams in the Midwest tended to struggle because of a lack of participation.
"People here aren't brought up on ultimate like other sports," she said. "Plus, Kansas is so windy that it takes a while for people to learn the fundamentals."
Spotts said that ultimate seemed to intimidate men as well.
"People say I'd like to come play, but I can't throw a Frisbee" he said. "Well, we can teach you."
Both Spotts and Camastro said that lack of exposure was one of the main reasons people tended to be wary of ultimate. Spotts said that for a lot of people the only time they had seen ultimate was in movies such as PCU, which gave the game an unfair stereotype.
"There are no dogs," he said. "And it's
not a bunch of pot-smoking hippies. The game has that stigma attached to it."
The men's next tournament is Halloween weekend when the team travels to Fayetteville, Ark. Spotts said the team had a good chance of winning and definitely should place in the top five. However, he said that the main season was next semester when there were more tournaments.
"It's a little more hard-core in the spring," he said. "We'll probably travel to four tournaments and host one."
Last weekend, the ultimate team had a tournament at ShenK Complex, 23rd and Iowa streets, that attracted 18 teams from across the Midwest. Spotts said the tournament was a good way for both teams to get some experience and get an idea of what they needed to work on in practice.
"It was a good tournament," he said. "Some bad habits were revealed, so now we can fine-tune practice a little bit more."
Anyone interested in learning more about ultimate can call Will Spotts at 841-0671 or e-mail him at wspotts@falcon.cc.ukans.edu.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
First issue of the University Kansan, 1889
"As a result of a feeling on the part of those interested in both the Times and Courier, that two weekly papers were more than could be published profitably in the University, the partisans of both papers have agreed to suspend the publication of their respective papers and to unite in the publication of a new weekly on which both sides would have equal representation."
— Following disputes between two fraternity-run publications, the administration pushed for one official campus newspaper which eventually became The University Daily Kansan.
PERSONALS
The Phi Delta Theta club will be at Mrs. Johnson's on Kentucky Street.
Camp Jayhawk was the name of the camp occupied by the boys in Colorado.
It has been a general remark by all the old students that Lawrence has not changed much.
Cap. Franklin is taken for a Business College student every time he goes down town.
Phi Gamma Delta entertain their lady friends to-night.
This is the beginning of a series of dances this winter.
Wednesday October 17,1917
Horribly Godless!
"Bidding their religion farewell, they come to K.U.!
"The University of Kansas is a godless institution. It's faculty members are called evolutionists and non-Christians. High school graduates are told that when they go to KU, they are bidding their religion farewell," Hugo Wedell, general secretary
of the University Y.M.C.A."
The Kansan editor at the time allowed a free forum for comment on the religious status of the University. 82 years later, the pages of the Kansan again have been filled with controversy about the teaching of evolution.
May 8,1945
NAZIS QUIT V-E DAY
Fight Ends 4 p.m.
"The most savage, destructive war in European history will come to an official end today at 4 p.m. C.W.T. when the Germans accepting Allied terms for unconditional surrender will lay down their arms. Reichsführer Karl Doenitz, successor to Hitler, broadcast the announcement that all guns would be silenced at 11 p.m. British double summertime."
— The Allied victory was splashed across the front page of the Kansan accompanied by an article on Abilene's favorite son, General Dwight D. Eisenhower.
April 23,1970
Guardsmen activated to quell snipers, fires
"Repeated sniper fire and several attempted fire bombings marked a tense curfew period Tuesday night and Wednesday morning in which state police and National Guardmen were required to assist local law enforcement officers.
Trouble started almost immediately after the 7 p.m. curfew began. At about 7:05 p.m., curfew violators were reported in front of the Rock Chalk Cafe at 12th and Oread. Policemen arriving at the scene were pelted with bricks and rocks."
— April 21, 1970, the day after the union burned down, a citywide curfew was imposed. The original 7 p.m. - 6 a.m. curfew was changed to 10 p.m. - 6 a.m. two days later. By the end of the week, the curfew was history.

Hoffman says degree useless
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY
"The role of the University is to serve as the training ground for revolutionaries, and the college degree is a meaningless document, Abbie Hoffman told nearly 8,000 students Wednesday night.
In his Allen Fieldhouse speech and earlier in a Kansan interview, Hoffman, a defendant in the Chicago seven trial, said 'People have really got to make up their minds that they are going to destroy the University. If they accept the student's role, they accept the role as a slave. The student is a nigger,' he said."
— Abbie Hoffman was a leader of the anti-Vietnam movement and flower power generation and helped fight for civil rights in the South. In his speech, he said that student apathy was a myth perpetuated by the ruling class.

The University Daily Kansan is a fixture at the University and has been for 110 years.

For 110 years, students have rolled with the punches time has thrown and student publications have covered them. Here's a look at some of the history The University Daily Kansan has seen.
In 1910, after the administration eliminated all the other student publications,the paper was officially named The University Daily Kansan.
the very first student newspaper on campus, The University Daily Kansan is, thus far, the most recent link in the evolution of University of Kansas student publications. The current Kansan is linked to the 1874-1876 Observer of Nature, the Kansas Collegiate of 1875, the University Courier of 1878, the Kansas Review of 1879, the Times of 1888, the University Kansan of 1889 and the Weekly University
April 21,1970
Tragedy Recounted
"The fire burned low, gasping for air through the constant torrents of water, and then suddenly burst into full blaze again and spread rapidly across the roof of the Kansas Union."
— Officials later determined the cause of the fire, which damaged 40,000 square feet of the Kansas Union Monday night. April 21, 1970, to be arson.
The same night, firebombs were thrown through two administration windows of Lawrence High School. The bombing followed a referendum in which the student body rejected demands of African-American students to allow two African-American cheerleaders on the squad.

Manning leads Kansas to title "They defied all logic, beat the odds and conquered the previously unstoppable Oklahoma Sooners last night 83-79 in Kemper Arena and took
the 1988 NCAA national championship, the first national title for Kansas and the Big Eight Conference since 1952"
Alison Young, spring 1988 Kansan editor and current writer for the Detroit Free Press, said: "When it looked like we were going to win, I remember rushing back to the newsroom. Campus was already getting crowded. It was incredible," Young said, "We were going to get to play a role in memorializing it for the students, the faculty and the community"
December 9,1947
K.U. Grads Fight Japs In Pacific
"Three K.U. men, now officers representing all three branches of service, are stationed in the Hawaiian Islands. An unknown number of University enlisted men are also there. University students are stationed at every important base and army camp along the west coast and the University is represented by men in the armed forces from the far-flung island of Toboga, near Balboa, to Alaska."
Cultural sensitivity was not a priority in earlier editions of the Kansan, as is demonstrated by this World War II-era headline.

Prof studies LSD
"Researchers have found music to be one of the few stimuli that LSD does not distort except to increase loudness. For this reason, it keeps the patient in touch with reality by helping him keep one foot on the ground during a supervised psychological trip."
E. Thayer Gaston, former professor of music education and director of music therapy, was honored by the University for his studies on the function of music in LSD therapy at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Topeka. Today, he'd probably be arrested.

Docking may draft KU to help Vietnamese
"Gov. Robert B. Docking thinks KU can help in the Vietnam pacification program.
The governor made a 10-day tour of Vietnam in August. One purpose of the trip was to learn if there are ways in which our Kansas colleges and universities might aid the people of South Vietnam in much the same way they have served several other foreign countries through social and technical training programs."
— The editor of the Kansan in 1968, Ron Yates, current head of the journalism department at the University of Illinois, recalled the University's climate at the time.
"The whole period of the late '60s on campus was a very energetic time," Yates said. "The Vietnam War was still raging. There was a lot of pulling back and forth, and the Kansan was in between. What I tried to do was create some kind of forum for both sides."
September 10, 1998

"They were dancing around the restaurant naked and handing out candy corn," said Lawrence Police Sgt. George Wheeler."

plaved Hawaii and Tulane.
Kansas is desperate for a win, which could play to their favor too.
Kansas is desperate for a player which could play to their favor too. "We have to have a win on Saturday," right tackle Justin Hartwig said. "We have eight games left. A win is obviously going to be big for us."
A win could accompany the changes Allen wants to make.
He hasn't disclosed the exact changes, but he has indicated they might include personnel and scheme changes. The biggest change might be at quarterback where back-up Dylen Smith has taken most of the snaps during the last three games. Zac Wegner has started all four games, but Smith's performance and increased playing time might indicate a change.
"More or less we're simplifying our offense," left tackle John Oddonetto said.
That's because a plethora of things have gone wrong — what Allen called a debacle across the board.
The defense has been shredded the last two weeks, allowing more than 500 yards of total offense. The soft zone Kansas played last week will be gone, and an emphasis on run defense will be in place because Allen doesn't want the Jayhawks to get behind early.
"Guys are trying to limit mistakes they've made," fullback Tyrus Fontenot said.
Turnovers by the offense have stopped the Jayhawks from the taking the lead first in all their losses, which is what Allen wants to change.
"We have to make something good happen early," he said.
"Let's take the ball first and see if we can make something happen early."
Beyond that, tomorrow will be a surprise. Allen has been mum on his changes this week in order to surprise the Mustangs.
Some question if homecoming glory is thing of the past
Band director says '70s were the peak
By Loni O'Reilly

Kansan staff writer
By Lori O'Toole
It was his first year as the University of Kansas band director, and Bob Foster led the marching band onto the field in front of more than 51,000 fans that packed into Memorial Stadium's bleachers and saw the Jayhawks defeat the Kansas State University Wildcats 39-13.
During halftime, Baby Jay hatched from a large blue egg, forever changing the University's mascot culture.
It was Homecoming 1971, and the celebration served as a successful revival of traditions.
"Homecoming-types of festivities weren't in vogue and weren't popular," he said. "The question was, was there going to be a homecoming?"
be a homecoming Foster said it was a low point for the University's homecoming traditions — a time which was followed by a period of energized homecomings with strong support and involvement.
And he said the low has come full circle with a lack of student,
staff and community events and interest.
This year, there are two University-wide events scheduled to celebrate Homecoming: a parade on this afternoon and the football game tomorrow afternoon.
"It needs to be reenergized," he said. "It could be as big or grand or wonderful as anyone has imagined."
Foster remembers strong homecoming years when as many as 10,000 students filed into the Allen Fieldhouse during homecoming weekends to see big acts such as Sonny and Cher, Bob Hope or Roy Clark perform.
Kelly Jo Karnes, assistant director of Greek programs, said no traditional events were scheduled by any chapter houses.
There are no University-wide alumni events scheduled.
Donna Neuner, Alumni Association director of membership services, said her most memorable University Homecoming was in 1983.
"It was a rainy day, and the sun came out right when we started to do well," she said. "There was so much camaraderie among the fans."
HOMECOMING TRADITIONS
Past bonfires and pep rally also brought students, alumni
Although there were only two campuswides events scheduled for Homecoming Day this weekend, the University has a couple of other homecoming traditions. They include:
The EXCEL Award for Excellence in Community, Education and Leadership, which Student Union Activities and the Board of Class Officers awards to two students. The recipients are honored at the parade
The ExCEL Award for
Each year, the Black Student Union names a Homecoming king and queen based on $1 donations collected by the nominees. This year's royalty are Layd Kline, St. Louis senior, and Keena McClendon, Kansas City, Mo., senior.
and the community together.
and during pregame ceremonies. This year's winners were Brenda Chung, Hong Kong senior, and Eric Rush, Topeka junior.
and the community together. Although some recall past homecomings, others look to successful festivities at other state universities, particularly Kansas State University, which has a week of activities each year.
Jason Heinrich, Kansas State student body president, said the band played in the student union on Monday of homecoming week each year to kick off the festivities.
That pep rally is followed by university-wide banner and enchant contests, a bonfire, a parade and the game.
"There's an increased level of
excitement all week long," he said. "The campus is buzzing, and there so many things going on."
Jonathan Alt, Winnetka, Ill., senior, said he had overheard students wishing homecoming could be more like Kansas State's.
Stacy Chain, Garden City senior and Homecoming promotions chairwoman, said that many University students did not even know that the Homecoming Weekend was this weekend.
She said the University should assign to a homecoming more
like Hawk Week.
"It would be awesome," she said. "It would be difficult, but it would be good."
Foster said that the popularity of homecoming activities could be cyclical and that future homecomings could be stronger, just as they were in the years following the revival celebration of 1971.
This year's homecoming is set apart by an attempt to revive an old tradition.
For example, this year's planning committee came close to scheduling a University-wide bonfire.
However, disputes about its location prevented the event from being scheduled.
Chain said there were also 30 floats registered to be in this afternoon's parade — one of the highest numbers yet. She said some floats represented community organizations, such as the Boy Scouts.
Foster said that there needs to be a lot of work to make homecoming traditions a bigger deal.
"The part we are involved in works pretty well," Foster said. "For more to happen, a bigger cross-section of the University and community needs to commit to the changes."

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a o.
Some things are going well for you right now, so you don't need to get pressed or flustered. You don't have to try and do everything in the first five minutes of the day, either. Go ahead and pace yourself. Take your time and make sure you get things done right.
Taurus: Todav is a 7.
A lot of Taurus people have creative talent, but you may be a little shy about marketing it. Today, come up with something that will not only increase your income, but also will give you a chance to express yourself. Something you study today could turn out to be quite profitable — and also fun!
Gemini: Today is a 7.
P
Cancer: Today is a 6.

The moon in your sign brings you energy, vitality, compassion and strength, and right now, you need all of these because the sun in Libra tends to drain your energy. You can get frustrated when that happens, and it could even undermine what you're trying to accomplish. Watch out for that possibility now.

Leo: Today is a 7.
There's tension in the air, and that might hamper your effectiveness. You're coming from a solid basis. But, you may feel forced to take action and make decisions that you would have liked to put off a little while longer. Might as well get them out of the way.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
Libra: Today is a 6.
Unfortunately, you don't have enough money. Friends may be planning something fun, but you just can't afford it. The good news is that extra work could bring in the extra money you need. Watch for the opportunity. It could pop up unexpectedly.
Saaittarius: Today is a 7.
You are usually the person who helps everybody else get along, and today you might not feel like it So, even though it is a relatively lucky time of year for you, some things are not going as well as others. Take it easy. Better conditions will come soon.
There's a little tension right now, but overall you're in good shape. You're under some pressure that calls for caution. You could be attracted to an older person. Don't rush into anything. Figure out your options first.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
There's a little bit of tension for everybody today. For you, it's most likely going to pertain to your finances, especially money you owe to other people. The best way for you to increase your income would be to upgrade your skills. What class would you like to take?
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
LAWRENCE
Aquarius: Today is a 6.

Pisces: Today is a 7.
If you want to get out of town this weekend, you may be in for a bit of frustration. There isn't enough time to get all your work done. You might not be free until Sunday. Although basically you should be pretty lucky, you're also under some stress. Take it easy.
LAUTORALITÉ
Your loved ones are there for you. That's good.
You can use the support. Things may not be going quite the way you wanted. The information that's got you worried came in a private setting, and that's also where you find the answer. Consult with a knowledgeable person behind closed doors

Organizations battle mix-ups, schedules
Float-building not a simple process
By Christa Henton
Kansan corresponden!
Although the homecoming parade this afternoon will only take about 30 minutes, the time that goes into preparing a float are much more than that.
A
Each year, fraternities and sororities form teams to build floats for competition in the homecoming parade. And each year, only two of those floats win the right to be displayed at the football game the next day.
Alpha Delta Pi sorority and Phi Kappa Theta fraternity, a pair that submitted a float for today's parade, started two weeks ago. First they met to elect homecoming chairpersons. Then, they had to find out all of the criteria for building the float. Finally, they built their float.
Building the float this year was harder than they anticipated because of a mix-up at the warehouse where they ordered their pumps, the paper material used to decorate floats.
"We went to the place in Topeka and even put a deposit down," said Lora Jennings, Wichita sophomore. "But, they gave it to someone else by mistake."
The group didn't receive their order of pomps until yesterday afternoon.
They worked all night to get the float ready for the competition.
Jennings also said it was hard to find time to study, especially because a lot of classes had tests scheduled during the past two weeks.
"It's incredible," she said. "But we find the time to study. If we didn't have tests we'd be here all night."
This year, members of Phi Kappa Theta had to rent a trailer from Sunflower Rental, 3301 W. Sixth St., for $120.
"Usually at least one of the guys lives on a farm and we borrow a trailer from them. But this year, there weren't any," said Chris Vetter, Shawnee junior.
Another expense was the tent,
which they rented from Big T Tent of
Topeka. Most groups rent a tent for protection from rain and privacy while building. The company brought the tent, put it up and will take it down for a fee of $320.
Each night, the fraternity has volunteers sleep in the tent to protect the float from vandals. Jacob Clearwater, Atchison freshman, was one of the students who slept outside Tuesday night.
This year's homecoming theme is "Games Jayhawks Play." The parade is at 2:30 today and will progress down Jayhawk Boulevard from the Chi Omega fountain to the Alumni Center.
Judging begins at 12:30 p.m. A winner will be announced on KJHK 90.7 FM at 5 p.m..
Greeks welcome alumni with traditional events
By Ryan Malashock
Kansan correspondent
Many fraternities and sororites will celebrate homecoming festivities with not only the members of their chapters, but also alumni members as well. Chapters have planned many social events for their alumni, ranging from picnics and tailgate parties to brunches and open houses.
weekend and looks forward to their company each year.
with the idea that homecoming is much more than just a football game and parade, welcoming back alumni members is a tradition not taken lightly by many houses on campus. Jared Schlict, president of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, says that his fraternity openly welcomes alumni visitors during the
“It’s interesting to see the alumni each year,” he said. “We’ll always have a lot of recent graduates showing up, and we’ll even have guys who have been graduated for 40 years come back. It’s a big deal for us to have them come back.”
In addition to welcoming alumni back for the Homecoming Weekend, Schillet said the weekend also would be the fraternity's parents weekend. This will give a chance for the entire fraternity to have a function with members and their families, giving families a chance to see the fraternity house and to get a glance at college life.
Some sororities on campus also see the tradition of visiting alumni
members as important. Alpha Delta Pi sorority will have activities for alumnae and current members. Karin Borke, Big Sky, Mont., junior, noted a recent rise in interest from alumnae members in Homecoming Weekend.
"We're having many activities including a picnic, which in the past couple years has become very popular with our alumnae," Borke said.
Borke said the members of Alpha Delta Pi were looking forward to giving alumnae tours of the house, a chance to meet the current members of the house, and the annual picnic. In addition to welcoming back the regular alumnae this year, Borke said that the sorority is welcoming a 10-year pledge class reunion.
"The 10-year will also be fun and give them the chance to see all of the changes and renovations that have been done to the house." Borke said.
Alpha Gamma Delta sorority will also be involved in some interesting activities this weekend. President Jennifer Boyer said the sorority was looking forward to an exciting weekend. The sorority will be building a float in conjunction with Triangle fraternity, holding a barbecue with members and alumnae and capping off the weekend with the football game.
With a chance to show off changes and renovations as well as mix the present with the past, fraternities and sororites on campus seem to be continuing the homecoming tradition of welcoming alumni members.

Students honored for excellence and leadership
Small steps aided Topeka senior

For Eric Rush, the climb to the top is filled with small steels.
He will receive the award and a $500 scholarship at halftime during the homecoming game against Southern Methodist University tomorrow.
And the top is where he is now. Rush, Topeka junior, is the male recipient of the 1999 ExCEL Award for Excellence in Community, Education and Leadership — the award given in place of homecoming king.
"People assume the measure of a leader is made up of watershed events, huge high-profile things that happen," Rush said. "What most don't realize is that effective change occurs in small steps, gradually."
When Rush looks back at his life, that's what he sees: small steps culminating into a larger whole. His position on the student senate finance committee during his freshman year at the University of Kansas helped lead him to his current position as a student senator. He has held several positions on the Battenfeld Scholarship Hall Executive Board. This year, he became public relations chairman for the All Scholarship Hall Council.
But he wasn't always in leadership positions.
"Ive always been intellectually assertive but not always socially assertive," said Rush, who has a 3.9 grade point average at the University.
His father, Thomas Rush, remembers his early intellectual prowess.
"I had a friend over when Eric was about five," the elder Rush said. "The first thing out of Eric's mouth was, 'What was the closest star?' My
friend didn't know, but Eric, of course, knew it was the sun."
His lack of social assertiveness, prevented him from getting involved in leadership positions until his senior year in high school.
could marshal the forces and get people to do thines."
That year, he was president of Topeka West High School's chapter of the National Forensic League.
From there, Rush said, things snowballed.
"I enjoyed it, and I thought I got a lot done," Rush said. "I surprised myself with the fact that I actually
But he was surprised when he learned that he had won the award.
But he was surprised when he learned that he had won the award. But his father, who will be there Saturday with Eric's mother, Barbara, and grandmother, Helen Lewis, said that Eric deserved it.
"Every day, I look and am awed at how he has turned out," he said.
Chung just tries to help others

During her four years at the University of Kansas, Brenda Chung has been affiliated with 23 organizations, clubs and honor and professional societies. Those honors earned her the 1999 ExCEL Award for Excellence in Community, Education and Leadership.
Chung, Hong Kong senior, said she had always known about the award but this was the first year she entered the competition.
"Gloria Flores from the Freshman-Sophomore Admissions Center really encouraged me and supported me in it," she said. "I learned a lot from the process and learned a lot about myself."

As a part of the application process, Chung was asked to list her campus activities and volunteer activities. Her list took almost two and a half pages.
when I have lots of things to do. I get more done," she said. "I enjoy it."
Camille Payne, SUA vice president of university relations and a member of the committee who selected the ExCEL award winners, said Chung's volunteer activities exemplified excellence in community.
"She has a lot of depth and breadth in a lot of difference activities." Payne said. "Each of them is pursued from the heart."
"With my personality, I try to do a lot of different things," she said. "Whether it be for volunteer services or diversity issues."
Schung's activities range from SUA vice-president of membership development to publicity chairwoman for the Hong Kong and Macau Student Association to student representative for the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center.
Chung also will receive a $500 scholarship.
The award honors students who are a part of different facets of campus life, and Payne said Chung was no different.
"She does community service for the betterment of the Lawrence community and the KU community," she said.
Chung has traveled to many locations, including Cleveland for last
year's spring break and Guatemala in May 1997, to help other communities.
Chung said she was very honored to receive the award out of a pool of many qualified individuals.
"After the interview, I was worried because a lot of the others were qualified leaders," she said. "I just want to reach a lot of different students and different parts of the world."
Lawrence police warn fans to prepare for traffic headaches
Kansan correspondent
Bv Jennifer Hall
Homecoming Weekend provides a time for students to unwind with their friends, get parking tickets, attend a high-spirited football game, get their car towed, participate in the weekend activities and sit in a traffic jam on 23rd and Harper streets.
GAME-DAY TRAFFIC TIPS
While many people are looking forward to the Homecoming Weekend, the Lawrence Police Department is dreading it.
- Leave plenty of time to travel to your destination.
The Lawrence officers overlap
- Plan enough time to find a parking space.
"It's going to be bad," said Sgt. George Wheeler, Public Information Officer for the Lawrence Police Department. "We'll have 50 officers answering calls, working wrecks and dealing with traffic."
Avoid peak times when a majority of drivers will be exiting an area.
Sgt. Wheeler expects the football game to be the busiest event of the weekend. About 50 to 60 officers will be monitoring the Lawrence area on motorcycle, bike and foot.
Be attentive to what is going on around you.

shifts to accommodate the crowds. Sgt. Wheeler said the officers will be expected to come in early for their shift and leave later than their scheduled exit time.
Special attention will be paid to roads around Haskell Indian Nations University because of the planned Homecoming weekend powwow. This event will cause extra officers to be called in to help direct the flow of traffic.
Traffic is expected to be the heaviest around Iowa Street, 23rd Street, Haskell Street, Harper Street and Sixth Street. However, the Lawrence Police Department is not concerned with any major construction areas.

Sgt. Wheeler continues to deal with the same traffic problems that occur every Homecoming Weekend. People are reminded not to park in tow zones and not to block the pedestrian areas. Parking improperly is often one of the most common problems faced.
"The most important hint is to be aware of signage," Sgt. Wheeler said.
Sgt. Wheeler notes many bits of information to help the public deal with traffic better Leave plenty of time to travel to your destination. Plan enough time to find a parking space. Avoid peak times
when a majority of drivers will be exiting an area. Most importantly, realize what is going on around you and make every effort to remain patient in traffic.
Following these simple rules will guarantee a smoother ride through traffic and cause fewer problems for the officers to deal with.
"These streets aren't designed to handle too much traffic flow. Play nice in traffic. We want to assist people in leaving our town." Sgt. Wheeler said.

Local hotels prepare early for crunch
Vacancies filled prior to game
By Jason Krail
Kansan correspondent
When the Kansas football schedule is released each spring, Kelly McCleary braces herself for a flood of phone calls.
McCleary, general manager of the Hampton Inn, 2300 W. 6th St., sees vacancies for a distant autumn weekend disappear within a few short weeks after the date is announced for the homecoming game.
"Once the schedule comes out, we'll sellout within about a month after that," she said.
In fact, there will be nary a vacant room in town this weekend, as alumni and football fans descend on Lawrence for tomorrow's game against Southern
The Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St., does not wait for the schedule to be released before beginning to book rooms for the weekend. The hotel takes reservations even earlier for whatever weekend the festivities will fall on, said Jason Gyles, who works the front desk.
Methodist University and other homecoming festivities. Some area hotels have been booked since March, others even longer.
"The last of our rooms for this year's homecoming were reserved just after last year's homecoming," Gyles said. "It typically sells out about 50 weeks in advance. Some people make their reservations up to a year and a half in advance."
But the downtown hotel will by no means be the only one bustling with activity.
The Best Western Inn, 730 Iowa St., has been booked for more than two months.
The Holiday Inn, 200 McDonald Dr., and the Ramada Inn, 2222 W. 6th St. also are full.
Others do their best to avoid the crowds.
Of course, plenty of travelers forget to make their arrangements so far in advance. The University of Kansas Alumni Association reserved blocks of rooms at several area hotels for members who failed to book a room in the spring, said Donna Neuner, director of member services.
The Game, The Dinner, The Bars...
Bill Bunyan, an alumnus from Dodge City, makes the five-hour trip for the homecoming game religiously. But he won't be seen at any area hotels this weekend. As usual, he will be staying with friends in town.
"I usually just stay with friends," he said. "I really don't use the hotels in Lawrence."

Class of 1959 ready to reunite for 40th reunion
Alumni Association expects 80 to return
By Brooke Hesler Kansan correspondent
"It's primarily a time for alums to return to the campus and reminisce and talk about old times," said Donna Neuer, director of membership for the Alumni Association.
As most of the University gears up for homecoming, the University of Kansas Alumni Association prepares to welcome back the class of 1959 for their 40th reunion.
She said around 80 members of the class of 1959 were expected to attend the reunion this weekend.
The Alumni Association will kick off the weekend with today's parade, followed by the traditional banquet in the evening. A video of the class, made on their
graduating weekend, will be shown at the banquet.
"It will be interesting to see old friends and see people I haven't seen for a while," said Dorothy Linch, a member of the class of 1959 and one of the Alumni Association's former board of directors. "We had a good class and a good group of people."
The group also will be seated together at the homecoming football game. However, Neuner said tomorrow's evening would be left open because many alumni had plans with greek houses and to participate in other University activities.
"I hope that we can recover some of the fondness of our memories," said Phil Freideman, a member of the class of 1959.
This reunion holds another kind of significance for Freideman. He is spearheading the campaign of the class to endow the Hope Award, which was inaugurated in
"I hope that we can recover some of the fondness of our memories."

1959. Freideman said that the goal of the class was to raise more than $500,000 between the reunion this weekend and their 50th reunion for the award, which recognizes outstanding teachers at the University.
"I'm personally resolved to see this fund be endowed," Friedman said. "It [the award] means great teachers receive appropriate recognition, and that can never be trivialized at this university."
Neuner, who has helped plan more than 25 reunions, said preparation for this year's reunion began in the spring. A
committee made up of Neuner and members of the class of 1959 was formed in July.
Although most of the class of 1959 will not be in attendance, Neuner said she was confident the class members in attendance still would have a good time.
"Not everyone is a reunion person and not everyone comes, but I can say from my experience that those who do come love it," Neuner said.
Linch said that she was certainly looking forward to it.
"Alumni support is really excellent for the University," Linch said. "Alumni give things to the school that the state can't."
In addition to the reunion, the Alumni Association also is holding its annual pregame banquet three hours before the kickoff at the Adams Alumni Center. The cost is $10 for adults and $4 for children under the age of eight.

Homecoming
Homecoming — revered American tradition, or plain cheesy?
PAMELA RUSSELL
Cynthia Malakasis
Kansan
correspondent
writer @kansan.com
Homecoming is an old and respected American academic tradition, and that's all the knowledge I used to have on the subject.
I had first heard of homecoming as a freshman in the residence halls, and it seemed peculiar that everybody made such a fuss about it.
Normally I would have looked into it, but as a very American tradition it only served to bring me a fresh attack of homesickness. So I just let it go. Coming from Greece, where the whole notion of homecoming has never entered anyone's
mind — and if it did, I was almost positive they would find it preposterous — I had absolutely no clue what the whole thing was about.
My quest for feedback on the subject started with my friend, Kyle. Kyle usually acts as my cultural intermediate and my guru in mysterious American habits and traditions. But even Kyle didn't have a whole lot of information to give me. All I managed to learn from her is that Homecoming takes place on a football weekend, and it has to do with alumni coming back to visit. Frankly, I didn't understand.
Commentary
Why would anyone make such a fuss about former students coming to the school and watching a football game? My talk with Kyle left me in a state of severe anxiety. If she couldn't help me capture the spirit of homecoming, then no one could.
My next mission was to interview scholarship hall residents. There, things started to turn for the better. Even though I did talk to people who seemed profoundly indifferent about it, I also got very
enthusiastic and informative interviewees. And through them, I gradually discovered that Homecoming is about bonding and nostalgia, traditions and communication.
Alumni come back to visit the place where they spent their college years, for some, the best years of their life. They seek to re-establish some contact with their college peers and to get to know new people who have taken their place. On the other side of the coin, current students get somewhat acquainted with the people who
were here before them, and might catch a glimpse of the atmosphere and character of the University years ago.
That's it, I had captured the spirit. At first, Homecoming seemed dreadfully cheesy. But then it started to fit in with the spirit of America and all of its traditions, and my conception of it started to change. And, like most traditions, Homecoming has a beautiful and reassuring aspect to it. Maybe I still find it cheesy, but I don't think I'd want it to change or become less important.

Businesses expect weekend rush
Game crowds bring big bucks for merchants
By Meghan Seifert
Kansan correspondent
Jayhawk fever strikes every year as University of Kansas alumni, parents, friends and, of course, rivals come to Lawrence for the homecoming game. However, the football team isn't the only one counting on visitors for the weekend.
Homecoming Weekend brings booming business for local restaurants, bars, hotels and retail stores.
Many fans meet before the game and catch up on lost time at bars within walking distance of the stadium such as The Wagon Wheel Cafe, 507 W. 14th St., The Jayhawk Cafe, 1340 Ohio St., and The Crossing, 618 W. 12th St.
Alumni congregate in huge numbers at these bars, which are popular today as well as when many of the alumni attended the University.
"Homecoming is my favorite day of the year," said Rob Farha, KU alumnus and owner of The Wagon Wheel Cafe.
He spends most of Homecoming Day shaking hands with the many alumni and students he knows. Signs and banners both outside and inside his restaurant bar welcome them. Farha said The Wagon Wheel Cafe was a place where parents who went to school here can come back and have a good time with their children who attend the
University today.
He is happy that the game is at 1 p.m. this year because he will have a crowd both before and after the game. Last year's 6 p.m. game upset many restaurant and bar owners who lost business because the game was at night. When Memorial Stadium empties this year, the restaurants and bars will fill up again.
On Sunday, the shops and restaurants in the Lawrence area again will benefit from homecoming visitors. Massachusetts Street features many unique and interesting stores and is a popular place for visitors to relax and enjoy their weekend.
Megan Brouillette, Overland Park senior, used to work at the women's clothing store, Spectators, on Massachusetts Street.
"Last year during homecoming I was swamped with customers all day," Brouillette said. "Most of them were alumni who had shopping at Spectators before. It was fun to see visitors enjoy their weekend in Lawrence."
Visitors from across the country will be in Lawrence for the weekend. As a result, many hotels will be accommodating more guests than usual.
The Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St., is one of these hotels. Ginger Ray, a manager at the Eldridge Hotel said that although graduation and Parents Weekend were the hotel's busiest weekends of the year. Homecoming Weekend would be booked with many alumni and other out of towners.
For many fans, no visit to the University would be complete
without a souvenir, and they end up taking their college spirit home in a red-and-blue sweat shirt or a stuffed Jayhawk.
"Every game day is big business for us, homecoming in particular," said Marian Wroczynski, a manager at the Jayhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Road.
Mark Armbrister, the Chamber of Commerce's consumer and sports sales manager said that the City of Lawrence did its part to promote business for every home game. It sponsors Big Blue Weekends and encourages people to make a weekend out of every home game. Organizers want fans to wear blue because the University is the only Big 12 school with blue in its colors.
Big Blue Weekends get businesses involved by promoting tailgate parties. Among those offering game-day specials that start three hours before every game are Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. Second St.; Old Chicago, 2329 Iowa St.; and the Ramada Inn, 2222 W. Sixth St. A bus then takes fans to and from the game for $2.
Jesse Schwartzberg, who works at Johnny's Tavern, said that tailgating was a great idea. "Every game, we get good business from people who come in to eat and drink before the game," Schwartzberg said. "It's fun, and people have a safe ride to the game."
In addition to fun, Homecoming also generates business for Lawrence.
"It brings a lot of folks back because they forge how great Lawrence is and how much we have to offer," Armbrister said.

Like Batman and Robin or Bonnie and Clyde, the University of Kansas and Lawrence are insep arable. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that when KI celebrates homecoming weekend Lawrence will be celebrating, too.
Lawrence will be "The community and the University are very intertwined," said Matt Armbrister, sales manager for convention and sports for the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau. "Each is unique in its own way, but they wouldn't be the same without one another."
Such interdependence means that when the crimson and blue streamers go up and the parade starts moving down the Jayhawk Boulevard,
the Lawrence community will be out in full force. Taking both an active and a passive role in this year's homecoming festivities, Lawrence residents will stand hand-in-hand with the University, cheering on the 'Hawks.
Stacy Chain, Garden City senior and homecoming relations chairwoman, said that she was hoping for a strong community turnout.
"If we can bring them (the community) in for our celebration, it can help relations," she said.
can help relations.
One of the more visible ways the community participates in the University's homecoming festivities is by marching in the parade. Chain said that although a Boy Scout troop and veterans' group had expressed an interest in marching, as of the Sept. 21 registration deadline, no community groups had submitted applications.
groups has subterranean. That doesn't necessarily mean there won't be any community groups participating in the parade. Chain said that many of the groups were unaware of the deadline and registered late or showed up on the day of the parade.
day of the parade.
"If any groups show up on the day of the parade, we'll make room for them," she said.
Armbrister said that although the community had nothing special planned for homecoming, the ongoing Big Blue Weekends would play a big role in shuttling the larger crowd to and from the games.

Lawrence businesses — Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. Second St.; Old Chicago, 2329 Iowa St.; or the Ramada Inn, 2222 W. Skth St. — then catch a bus to and from the game.
Armbrister said the festive atmosphere of homecoming weekend spilled out from the University and into the town itself.
"It's a day when a lot of grads from all over the country come back," he said. "It's a big day for Lawrence businesses and the streets are full of people."
While Chain said that she was happy with the community's participation in this year's festivities, she hoped that community involvement would grow in the future.

Homecoming
Hemenway wants to emphasize beauty, tradition of University
By Sindy Greenfield Special to the Kansan
When students first step onto Jayhawk Boulevard, most of them look amazed that their education would take place in this environment of rolling hills. As time goes by, some neglect the beauty that surrounds them.
It is for this reason that Chancellor Robert Hemenway said homecoming was so important. It is a time to reflect on the education learned in books and reminisce about life at the University of Kansas.
"Homecoming is coming home," said Hemenway. "It reminds me of the fall, of the band playing at football games and the great life and activity that exists throughout this campus."
Although Hawk Week is celebrated months before homecoming, it is our spirit week, he said. Hawk Week teaches the traditions of the University, and represents the importance of the University to the alumni and the students.
Hemenway said that the University supplied students with a lifetime of education through the lessons from books and the experiences with friends.
Although the University does not decorate campus in paints of crimson and blue, Hemenway said homecoming was a time to celebrate love and appreciation for the University. Instead of official decorations, he said he welcomed chalk drawings on campus sidewalks.
However, Hemenway said that decorations weren't the most important way to reinforce spirit.
"Spirit isn't in decorations, it is
in the human connection of the environment of KU," he said. "It's in the memories of football games and walking the hill. The memories are decorations themselves."
He said he had scheduled a good night's sleep last night to help him cope with the barrage of homecoming events, which will include the parade, football game and alumni gatherings throughout the weekend.
Like many students, Menenway will face a busy weekend, and said one of his main concerns was getting enough sleep to allow him to enjoy his official duties.
However, Hemenway said he was most concerned about the safety of everyone. He said he wanted to avoid alcohol abuse and make homecoming the celebration it was meant to be.

THE LOST SAILOR'S HISTORY
Scholarship halls plan events for homecoming
The All Scholarship Hall Council has organized a costume dance. The dance will be 9 p.m. to midnight tonight at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave.
By Cynthia Malakasis Kansan correspondent
Costume dance begins weekend of hall parties
"The dance is going to be a fund-raiser for the Salvation Army, and there's fund raising throughout the week at the halls as well," said Alicia Ellingson. Milford, Neb., senior
senior.
In addition to activities for
current members, some scholarship halls will welcome back their alumni with various activities during the weekend.
However, not all halls are as successful with fall event planning as Watkins Hall, and residents said difficulty contacting alumni was part of the problem.
Red Lyon Tavern
944 Mass. 832-8228
Watkins Scholarship Hall residents have planned the most activities for their returning alumni, including an open house Saturday before the game when they will offer snack food and tours of the hall and campus.
Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall resident Robert Richards, Salina senior, said the hall's lack of activities was related directly to problems finding alumni.
"Homecoming is a good chance for alumni to come back, see how the hall has changed and catch a good game over the weekend," said Jennifer Scott, Manhattan junior. "Scholarship halls are tight and organized communities where people get really close. That's why alumni want to come back."
Other halls, including Sellards Scholarship Hall and Miller Scholarship Hall, emphasize spring semester meetings with their alumni.
we have a good relationship with our alumni and with our hall history," said Audrey Hickett, Hill City sophomore. "Usually we have an alumni tea on spring semester."

Freshmen make adjustments to University surroundings
By Kara Ryckman
"I felt like I was at home right away because I came with my roommate, Darci, and we had everything planned out before we got here," said Kelsi Cropp, Edgerton freshman.
Not all students have the luxury of knowing their roommates, or anyone for that matter, when they arrive at the university. For them, the first few weeks of school can be a tens and stressful transition.
Kansan correspondent
Most new KU students still are adjusting to their new environments and independence, although some were a few steps ahead to begin with.
Home is where your heart is, but hearts can change as often as addresses. A little more than a month ago, 5,243 freshmen arrived in Lawrence, suitcases in hand, lumps in throat, ready to move into their new homes at the University of Kansas.
Despite the festivities of homecoming weekend, some freshmen may not be ready to wave the wheat just yet.
For most, patterns set in quickly, however, and they begin to meet people and make friends.
"You're thrown into this new place where you can't sleep in your own bed and you share a bathroom with a bunch of people," said Jenny Sheridan, Omaha, Neb. freshman. "It's just weird, and it takes a while to get used to."
Eric Borja, Springfield, Mo., freshman, is vice-president of 3E, home to the Experience Excellence in Ellsworth Hall program; water polo player; and member of Amanzaa, a minority journalism society, but even he had initial hesitations.
"School was awkward at first, but after classes began and I started to get more involved and meet people, it felt like home," Borja said.
Haylee Nair, Vinita, Okla., freshman, said she was eager to call Kansas home even before she got here.
"I was so ready to get away, and I absolutely love KU and Lawrence," she said. "I feel so comfortable. I love the people, and I love the freedom."
The sudden autonomy and liberation introduced to new students also can pile on a lot of extra stress, but there are several departments and outlets on campus ready and willing to assist freshmen.
The Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center offers individual academic advisors who help students who choose courses and majors, and recommend other University resources. Students also can take advantage of the support and guidance of their resident assistants whenever they have concerns or problems in residence hall rooms or their classes.
Nat Jungerberg, Minnetonka,
Minn, freshman, agreed.
"I chose KU because I heard so many good things about the school," he said. "And now I feel right at home, especially since I've taken the responsibility to get involved in different clubs and activities. It's everything I expected and more."

Homecoming
Visitor center to welcome home alumni
By Audrey McKanna
Kansan Correspondent
The University of Kansas Visitor Center will be in the spotlight this weekend as it welcomes alumni for the first homecoming since its opening eight months ago.

"For 133 years, people have been coming to the candy counter in the Kansas Union to find out where to go," said Margey Frederick, coordinator of the center.
Although the center's staff is not planning any special activities for homecoming, Frederick said they were expecting many alumni to tour the $2 million center.
The center houses the offices of admissions and scholarships and provides general information about the campus and the University.
It caters especially to preregistered guests, prospective students and their parents. After a regular orientation schedule, which runs twice on Mondays and Fridays and once a day during the rest of the week, students and guests are introduced to the campus in an informal meeting at the 116

seat auditorium. They then are bused to where the heart of campus beats: Jayhawk Boulevard. KU Ambassadors escort them on campus tours, and admissions counselors coordinate personal meetings with members of the faculty and staff relevant to the interest of each student.
Traditional junior and senior days, which were the first introductions to the University for many alumni, still are held regularly at the Union.
"For prospective students and their families, the new facility is easily accessible and leaves a great lasting impression," said Nate Stange, Wichita junior and KU ambassador.
The center has been host to about 12,000 visitors since it opened, and Frederick said she expected
the end-of-the-year tally would be between 40,000 and 50,000,a standard number for a university with Kansas' population.
Frederick said most of the weekend foot traffic in the center came from directional inquiries, visitors seeking venues for sports events and other activities.
Currently, the University is working closely with the Kansas Turnpike Authority and the City of Lawrence to put up more
signs advertising the center's location.
Aumni and guests visiting the center this weekend can see various displays that showcase University departments and activities, rest their feet from hilly campus hikes in one of several lobby lounge areas, and learn about the city and the University of Kansas Medical Center from electronic kiosks sponsored by those organizations.
A wall of brochures, maps.
viewbooks and posters offers a barrage of facts and figures for those preferring the printed word.
A 23-toot bird-like pteranodon skeleton suspended from the ceiling greets visitors and advertises the museums as well as the mascot.
"We like to say we've got the world's oldest mascot." Frederick said. "And with that comes the longest running tradition."

Homecoming hype confuses some international students
By Sarah Warren
Kansan correspondent
Homecoming means nothing to Galina Levin.
She gets lost in the Floats, dances and the big football game. Levin can genuinely smile, a confused look in her blue eyes, and utter, "Homecoming, what's that?"
For Levin, St. Catherines,
Canada, freshman, and the other
1,400 international students on campus, knowledge of homecoming, prior to coming to the University, is a one-episode blip on American television shows and massive amounts of annoying ads in the October issue of Seventeen.
"You hear (in high school) about homecoming in magazines, and I think it's a lot like prom," Levin said.
A formal dance isn't on KU's homecoming agenda. Instead a parade and various alumni activities comprise the bulk of homecoming. And then there's the football game. Levin's confused look returns.
"Football?" Levin asks.
Paqui Paredes, a Ph.D. candidate in the Spanish Department, and a native of Santiago, Spain, isn't surprised by Levin's confusion. She's convinced Americans can't truly define homecoming themselves.
"I've asked my American friend what it is, and I think that they don't really know," Parades said. "I don't know what it is, but we don't have it in Spain."
Rebecca Lamb, Manchester England junior, thinks other
countries tend not to have celebrations such as homecoming because school pride is an American entity.
"Here you are a Jayhawk for life, you have more of an identity with the University." Lamb said. "Homecoming is something I think Britain should do, but the idea of it is just so alien to me, although I think it would be good to have one."
An alien idea because Lamb, Levin and Paredes don't really have any type of event to compare homecoming to.
"All the activities there don't center around sports because sports in college (in Spain) don't matter," Paredes said. "It's a very American thing—I don't know of anything anywhere else like it."
But Tobi Dawodu begs to differ. Dawodu, who, like Levin is a St. Catherinees, Canada, freshman, explains
"I saw all of my friends' yearbooks, and they turned right to the homecoming section and because I hadn't heard of it before, I figured it's a lot like Association weekend." Dawbu said.
Association weekend at Ridley College, a preparatory school, has the appearance of homecoming. In early October, alumni return, sporting events rule weekend plans and a formal dance is held.
"[During] Association weekend we have a 'homecoming' football game." Dawodu said. "And all of the old people come back and associate with the kids and their old teachers."

Kansan Correspondent
Many athletes tend to get a little nervous when it comes to special games — but those on the Kansas football team say they do not.
On homecoming weekend, the Jayhawks will face Southern Methodist in a game they say they will treat like any other.
"We obviously want to win," said Dylen Smith, junior quarterback, "but we don't really talk about it being a big game because of homecoming."
Coach Terry Allen spoke of the team's practice schedule and said they would not change their game plan just for homecoming.
"We don't really do anything special for homecoming, but we just try and be consistent and do the same things we do every week," Allen said.
With the arrival of homecoming, there will also be the arrival of thousands of spectators, alumni and parents.
"It is a big game," said Harrison Hill, sophomore wide receiver. "But right now every game is big. We're 1-2 right now and if we want to make it to a bowl game, we have to win regardless."
Others players, however, aren't so lucky to have their parents live nearby.
Smith, whose parents reside in Santa Monica, Calif., said they can't make it for homecoming, but were planning on coming to Lawrence when the Jayhawks play Nebraska on Oct. 30.
"Most of the players don't get nervous in front of their families because they've done it so many times before," said Allen. "Plus, having played on national television so often I think eliminates the nerves right away."
So it's not the family or the homecoming weekend, but the TV coverage that both creates and kills players' nerves.
"Many of the players usually get used to playing on television early in the season, and after the first televised game, are fairly immune to it." he said.
Televised games are also the times when seniority comes into play, with the older, more experienced players
"What it comes down to, is that everybody just tries to play hard," said Smith. "And if people do get a little nervous, they just try not to show it."
stepping up to provide leadership for the younger players.
they are used to special games,but do they really not get nervous?
"The guys who have been around longer know the situation and step up when it's needed," said Hill.
Texas quarterback Major Applewhite not only survived last year's 48-7 beating by Kansas State in his first start, he's developed into perhaps the best quarterback in the Big 12 Conference.
Edited by Ronnie Wachter
With the Jayhawks approaching the fourth game of the season, players say
12 Conference.
To beat No. 13 Kansas State (3-0 overall, 1-0 in the conference) tomorrow and average their worst loss of 1998 would be sweet payback for Applewhite and the No. 15 Longhorns (4-1, 1-0)
AUSTIN, Texas — A year later, and the freckle-faced kid is all grown up.
Applewrote to the lady, "They were teeing off on me because I was a freshman, just like everybody was," Applewhite said. "They came after me."
The Associated Press
Applewhite said. They are the last year, Kansas State's defense capitalized on a costly Applewhite mistake, a first-half interception returned for a touchdown. The swarming Wildcats also held Heisman Trophy-winning running back Ricky Williams to 43 yards on 25 carries.
Williams to 64 yards. Otherwise, Applewhite threw for 239 yards and Texas' only touchdown in the fourth quarter, which averted a shutout.
Texas quarterback longing for revenge against Cats
The performance earned Applewhite his teammates' respect.
"I don't think Major fears anything except God," said strong safety Lee Jackson.
Applewhite had been pressed into service the previous week in a 49-31 loss to UCLA when starter Richard Walton was injured. Then he endured a week-long buildup before the Kansas State game and the media attention given the starting quarterback.
"It was a very difficult week for Major," said Texas coach Mack Brown.
And a learning experience for the player nicknamed "Opie" by a high school friend after the child character on the
old Andy Griffith Show because of his freckles,
boyish looks and short red hair.
After passing for 2,453 yards and 18 touchdowns last season, Applewhite was chosen Big 12 freshman of the year.
This season, he has passed for a league-leading 1,492 yards and 10 touchdowns with only one interception.
one interception.
With Applewhite as the offensive leader since Williams graduated, Texas has won four straight and earned its highest ranking since early 1997.
Cowboys ready for another shot at Nebraska's defense
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — Last year Oklahoma State threw nearly every defense it had at Nebraska. It nearly worked.
Nebraska. It nearly worked.
The Cowboys shut down Nebraska, ranked No. 2 at the time, holding the Cornhuskers to 215 total yards, including just 43 on the ground. But the Huskers avoided the upset with a late punt return for a touchdown and a goal-line stand in the closing seconds.
Nebraska coach Frank Solich expects more of the same tomorrow, when the Cowboys (2-1) play their Big 12 Conference opener after a weekend off.
"Right now I wouldn't mind having two weeks to

get ready for Oklahoma State," Solich said. "But that's not going to happen, so we just do our best in the time slot we have to make sure we're organized going in."
No. 6 Nebraska (4-0 overall, 1-0 in the conference) is coming off a 40-10 rout at Missouri last weekend.
The Cowboys rank third on defense nationally, followed by the 'Huskers at No. 4. Nebraska linebacker Julius Jackson, who leads the defense with five turnover recoveries, said the Huskers belonged on top.

game. Despite last year's close call, the 'Huskers are favored by nearly four touchdowns at home. The Cowboys haven't played since a 29-11 loss at Mississippi State, where they turned the ball more than eight times and gave up eight sacks.
Still, Cowboys defensive end Zac Warner wants to know who came up with a 26-point spread.
"That's something our team should take on as pretty much a slap in the face, going out and saying they're that much of a better team than we are," he said. "Any time a team's a 26-point favorite, it's a total lack of respect."

Southern Methodist strives for first win of season
Mustangs still suffering from NCAA sanctions
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan writerswriter
A glance through the history section of the Southern Methodist football media guide reads like a Who's Who of college football.
At some point in their careers, Doak Walker, Eric Dickerson, Forrest Gregg, Don Meredith and Don King all played for the Mustangs.
Along with the individual success, Southern Methodist has had an illustrious team history as well. The Mustangs have won four of the 10 bowl games they have appeared in and won the 1935 national championship.
While the majority of the century has had some bright spots for Southern Methodist, the program took a turn for
the worse in 1987. After the NCAA uncovered serious infractions committed by the football program, the NCAA slapped the "death penalty" on the Mustang football program. The school's punishment was it could not field a football team in the 1987 and 1988 seasons. The Mustangs have had limited success since.
KU KU
Because of these violations, Southern Methodist has had only three winning seasons and four seasons in which they only won a single game.
Despite a wintess season so far, the 1999 Mustangs, 0-3, hope to take a blast to the past when they play Kansas at 1 p.m. tomorrow at Memorial Stadium — their first trip to Lawrence in 44 years. Southern Methodist has never lost to Kansas in Lawrence. In fact, the Jayhawks' lone win against Southern Methodist occurred in 1952 in Dallas.
The Mustangs are a youthful bunch, as 26 of Southern Methodist's players are playing their first seasons of college football. Mustangs coach Mike Cavan said this lack of experience could cause problems for his team tomorrow.
"I wish I could put my team in a time capsule and make them have experience this weekend," Cavan said. "We just have to keep putting the young players in the game and have them develop that way."
Among these young players are sophmore Josh McCown and freshman Kelan Luker, who both split time at quarterback for the Mustangs. McCown, who is the younger brother of Texas A&M quarterback Randy McCown, has started all three games this season, but Luker took the majority of the snaps against Hawaii. Cavan said
this two-quarterback system would remain in place against the Jayhawks tomorrow.
"Luker is not quite ready to play right now, but we need to get him some experience in case we lose Josh," Cavan said. "Generally, you roll quarterbacks because one has not taken over command from the other."
Offensive lineman Austin Adami said that it made no difference which quarterback was in the huddle.
"The quarterback decision shouldn't affect the team as a whole, and the quarterbacks that we have are both capable of getting the job done." Adami said.
Along with the vital quarterback position, youth is a common theme for the Mustangs at several other key positions. Southern Methodist starts two freshmen at each cornerback position, and freshmen wide receivers Cody Carwell and Cris Cunningham both receive substantial playing time for the Mustangs.
While Southern Methodist's youth ha

its upsides, Cavan said his team's inexperience had led to many mistakes this season, such as last week's three-turnover, 10-penalty performance against Hawaii. With the disappointment of the Hawaii loss, coupled with Kansas' disappointing season, Cavan made one promise for tomorrow's game.
"Saturday, we will see two teams that are going to battle for a win, Cayan said.
Special teams run hot,cold for the Tigers
- Edited by Brad Hallier
The Associated Press
Sometimes it's for good plays. Last week,
against No. 6 Nebraska, it was for bad ones.
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Whether it's for long, accurate field goals or errand, havoc-wreaking deep snaps, Missouri's special teams seem to be spending an awful lot of time in the spotlight.
Two snaps flew over Missouri punter Jared Gilpin's head, leading to nine Nebraska points and resulting in a 40-10 Cornhusker victory.
In its first game of the season, Missouri (2-1) had two punts blocked by Alabama-Birmingham. Both were returned for touchdowns. The Tigers also blocked one of their own and returned it for a touchdown.
Last season, the Tigers missed six extra point attempts, only made four field goals and fumbled a crucial fourth-quarter punt in a 17-14 loss to Texas A&M. They also blocked three punts and returned a blocked field goal for a touchdown in their 34-31 Insight.com bowl win.
"I have to look at the glass as half full," said coach Larry Smith. "If you chart the number of points our special teams have created or scored, it'll be more than they've given up. We made a lot of special teams mistakes because they're glaring and jump out at you."
Most noticeable were the wild hikes by sophomore long snapper Ben Davidson. He agreed with the assessment of coaches and fellow players — nerves led to the mistakes.
"I did my practice snaps on the sidelines just like always," Davidson said after the game. "They were perfect. I got a bit emotional and tried to throw too hard, I guess."
The flip side of special teams foibles is Missouri sophomore kicker Brad Hammerich, who has enjoyed success. Last season, Hammerich only attempted one field goal — a last-second 56-yarder against Texas A&M that fell short of the end zone. This year Hammerich has made all four field goal attempts, including kicks of 47 and 48 yards.
Hammerich credits his success to being given the opportunity, recovering from an injury and learning how to handle pressure.
"You want to keep your cool out there," Hammerich said. "It's a real stressful position actually. Everybody looks at you because you're the center of attention for that play."
Smith said he still had confidence in Davidson, enough to put him back in the action tomorrow when Missouri played at Memphis (1-3).
After Davidson's first snap against Nebraska, Smith greeted him on the sideline with a smile. His reason for it became clear when he talked about how a player learned to keep his cool
"The best form of composure is through experience," Smith said. "Experience will build confidence. Confidence builds composure. But how people react around a player who has had a bad play is important. That can lead one way or the other. So you can coach it somewhat."

Homecoming
For the birds: Getting under the feathers of the Jayhawk
By Leah Shaffer
Kansan Correspondent
They are fixtures at every University of Kansas football and basketball game. It is the mascot, the University's own lovable, fictional, giant bird. It leaps and prances about to incur the pleasure of the crowd and the laughter of children. However, beneath that almost $9,000 suit, beneath every heavy layer of wool and reinforced steel, there is a person. This person is most likely sweating in mass quantities, but a human nonetheless. When it comes to the Jayhawk suit, it's 100 percent humidity, said Jerry Pauly or, as he is best known, "Big Jay." Pauly, Denton sophomore, along with Meridith Ashley, Prairie Village sophomore, and Eva Davis, Topeka sophomore, are the people inside the suit. To put it simply, they are the mascots.
Oh, to become a giant bird
The Jayhawk is affiliated with the University spirit squad. Tryouts are held in the spring along with the rest of the spirit squad. A person trying out to be the Jayhawk must be able to fit into the suit. They have to be just the right size (4 feet 11 inches to 5 feet 2 inches tall for Baby Jay, like Davis, or 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet 2 inches tall for Big Jays like Pauly and Ashley). During auditions, the aspiring mascot must be able to perform various rehearsed or improvised skits having to do
with the zany antics that usually occur near the birds. Besides that, various cheers and the fight song must be memorized. Once a person is selected to become a mascot, they have to be ready to devote an many times to being the bird. Although those selected to be mascots are given a scholarship and are paid for private appearances, this is not a job for anyone out to make a profit. In addition to all the hours spent performing at football games and every other University sporting event, the mascots must set aside time for meetings, private appearances and training (it takes strength and endurance to move wearing the suits).
Meet the giant birds
This year's Jayhawks are no less dedicated. Their year as the mascot has barely started, but they already are thrilled to be a part of the mythic symbol that is the Jayhawk.
Pauly aka Big Jay No.1
Fully aka Big Jay No. 1
Is your performance at games rehearsed ahead of time, or is it improvised?
Pauly: In the football games, the only thing we really practice is the pregame, such as where to be when running on with the flags, where to stand for the alma mater and national anthem, where to be so we don't run into the band when they're doing their pregame, and going up and down the hill, but, for the most part, walking around during the game, it's just improv.
Would you ever get in a fight with another
B

Pauly: If we do, if we get in a fight, it would be staged. Because if you got in a real fight, it would hurt you so much and you can't see. It just wouldn't be worth it.
Here's a scenario, it is 95 degrees at a big, long game. What is it like instawe suit?
mascot?
Pauly: OK, you know how they say "it's not the heat, it's the humidity?" Inside the suit, it's 100 percent humidity. There is very, very, low ventilation. You are wearing a wool suit with something on your head, so, if it is 95 degrees outside, it's probably 110 in the suit. But you have to keep going, make sure you don't get dehydrated and don't slow down.
Is Big Jay your alter ego; what does he represent to you?
The Jayhawk runs around the field after a touchdown in the San Diego football Photo tus A be
Pauly: Big Jay is my alter ego in that he is totally outgoing. I always have little ideas of what I want to do like, oh it looks like I need to give that guy a noogie. But when I'm in Big Jay suit, I do whatever comes to mind. I don't hold back. And, to me, that is a lot different, in that it is completely open. Whatever I'm thinking about, whatever occurs to me, it happens.
Ashley aka Big Jay #2
What is pregame like for you?
Ashley: Pregame is kind of tiring. The band comes out on the field, with the national anthem, we do the rock chalk chant and alma mater. Running the team out is kind of the hardest because Big Jay has to run the flag out. The head of the suit probably weighs 10 or 15 pounds. It's hard because it bounces up and down doesn't feel too good on you head or shoulders. Visibility is low. It's especially hard when you've got an entire football team sprinting behind you, and you're trying to run as fast as you can with the flag. My arm was shaking, but it is fun.
How do you handle the heat?
Ashley: We have to just take breaks, and you have to drink a lot of water before the game. Jerry actually put ice packs in his chest during the Notre Dame game. We do have a little fan in the head, and it makes a little bit of difference.
Davis aka Baby Jay
When you were a little girl, you imagine yourself as a giant bird in college?
everyone made fun of me. All my life, I wanted to be Baby Jay. When I got into high school, it became like a really big thing. That's why I was the mascot my senior year in high school — to see what it would be like. When I got up here, I waited until the end of my freshman year and when tryouts came around, I went.
Davis: wren 1 was about 3 or 4, I got a Polaroid picture taken with Baby Jay. Ever since then, I've been kind of short and
What is the craziest experience you've had so far for Baby Jax?
Davis: On our third appearance, we were all brand new, so we had only been here for probably less than a month. Meredith and I
had a thing called the "Mutton Strut," which is a humane society fund raiser, and we go in costume, and the drug dog is there and the D.A.R.E. guy, lots of mascots. I would pet dogs and stuff, and as long as you put your hand out like you do with any regular dog, they will sniff you, and it's OK. There was this Doberman pinscher that was scared of me apparently, and it started biting me. And, you're in the suit; you can't talk. Some people thought it was funny, watching Baby Jay get bitten by a dog, but it was just frightening because there wasn't anything I could do.

THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Hall renovation pushed back
Ellsworth Hall upgrade to start in summer 2001
By Lori O'Toole
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
(USPS 650-640)
Because of scheduling issues, the start date for the renovation of Ellsworth Hall has been moved from the summer of 2000 to the summer of 2001.
The hall's interior renovations will be similar to what was done to Templin Hall two years ago and Lewis Hall last year.
Steve Scannell, consultant service manager of design and construction management, said the Ellsworth renovation would be much more extensive because it had 10 floors compared to the other two halls' seven floors.
Because of the extra floors, he said, there would be 40 percent more floor space to renovate, making the contractor's 15-month schedule especially tight.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said that the telecommunications department, which is in Ellsworth, must be transferred to another location before renovations can begin.
"In the scheme of things, you always are disappointed when you lose a year in planning," he said. "We just have to make sure everything will be ready before committing to a renovation date. Even if it was delayed by a couple of weeks, it's too tight. The building can't be out of service two years."
Scannell said the renovations were expected to begin immediately after the Spring 2001 semester and to be completed by Fall 2002. He said University of Kansas representatives needed to make sure that they had an accurate budget estimated for the project before going ahead with it.
"I think the current schedule we're working with is very aggressive," he said. "The extra time will help. It's not something you want to go ahead with if there's even a shadow of a doubt."
Scannell said that he and other University representatives would further analyze the renovation schedule to determine if it was feasible to complete in 15 months.
Stoner said the floor plans could include a variety of rooms, such as those for two or four
He said there was a possibility that it could be done in phases.
residents as well as apartments.
rne architectural firm designing the interior is Glenn Livinggood Penzler Architects PA, 1001 New Hampshire St.
The firm's architects have worked on the Memorial Stadium renovations, Allen Fieldhouse renovations, Budig Hall and the Horeisi Family Athletic Center.
Emily Davis, Overland Park sophomore and Ellsworth Hall resident assistant, said she was happy to hear that the hall would stay open next year.
She said she was worried about which residence hall she would live in if she decided to be a resident assistant again and Ellsworth was closed.
"I was really excited," she said. "It relieved some worry about having to choose."

Residence hall parking set aside for deliveries
By Erinn R. Barcomb Special to the Kansan
The parking department is doing something to change that.
Instead of a tip, some delivery drivers were getting parking tickets when delivering food to students in residence halls.
we don't want to antagonize the delivery people," said Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking. "There's so few options."
Facilities operations is in the process of making signs that will designate metered spots in front of the halls. After 5 p.m., they will be for delivery vehicles only. Daisy Hall will have five meters, Jayhawker Towers will have one, Oliver Hall will have one and Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin hall will have two.
Many of the metered spots in front of residence halls were usually occupied by people visiting the residents, said Chris Roofe, a dispatcher at the parking department. Other spots around the halls are for students with parking permits only.
"It's hard on the drivers," Roofe said. "Delivery vehicles need to get in and do what they need to do."
Hultine said many drivers were forced to temporarily park in fire lanes to make their deliveries.
Eric Morriss, Topeka sophomore, had the same problem when he was making a delivery for Yello Sub. 624 W. 12th St.
Hultine said students such as Morriss who appealed their fire lane tickets often were out of luck. She said the first and second-year law students who reviewed the appeals were unsympathetic to those who parked illegally.
Rah.
Roofe said having a sign was important because some students who had student permits also could deliver for a business. Vehicles with student permits parked in the designated spots after 5 p.m. will be ticketed.
"The problem was I had to deliver to Corbin," he said. "My customer was sitting on the bench outside. I had to park in a fire lane. For 45 seconds, I got a 656 ticket."

out of those. The 20-minute meters cost 25 cents. Vehicles must pay for the whole 20 minutes. Morrisr said many of his deliveries take under a minute, and at the most, three minutes.
"It's a compromise between us and them," Roofe said. "We're trying to keep students out of those."
"It will end up coming out of our tips," he said.
Moreover, Morriss said, most students were not generous tippers.
But a quarter is cheap compared to the alternative.

Stephenson Hall's entry booted from parade lineup
By Emily Hughey writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
COLLEGE
Although the number of entries for Friday's Homecoming Parade, with the theme, "The Games that Jayhawks Play," was one of the largest the University of Kansas has seen, there could have been one more entry.
While most of the colored paper-pomped floats depicted a Jayhawk defeating a mustang in a particular game or sport, Stephenson's float consisted of a truck with boards duct-taped to the sides and a giant papier-maché fist extending from the top of the cab. Attached to the fist was a upraised middle finger, and written on the board at the front of the truck was "damn the man."

The second annual Stephenson Hall Float of Doom was removed from the 28-float lineup because it was deemed in poor taste.
While lining up for inspection at the Joseph R. Pearson parking lot before the parade, Stacy Chain, homecoming coordinator for Student Union Activities, said she told Unruh that he would have to remove the fist, the finger and the sign if he wanted to proceed in the parade. She said Unruh refused to leave unless a KU public safety officer requested it, so she brought John Mullens, assistant director of the public safety office, to enforce her request.
Unruh said he continued to debate his right to be in the parade, when someone ripped the signs off his truck and told him to leave.
Isley Unruh, Stephenson Hall's float designer, was dressed as a water pipe.
Last year, Stephenson Hall created a two-layer float. The outer layer was covered with encouragement for the Jayhawks. Once the float was far enough into the parade that it be turned back, hall members ripped off the outer layer, raised a pirate flag and put on masks.
But Unruh said he never heard anything from administrators.
He said he thought the decision to exclude
his float from the parade this year was based on his affiliation with a scholarship hall instead of a fraternity.
"We were trying to get a nonconformity message, and they tore parts of our signs off." Unruh said. "The thing is, it's more of a shock tactic. What I feel is that it's 15 fraternity floats. They all have a big, flowered

Reading recalls victims killed in incidents of domestic abuse
By Lesley Simmons writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A woman in the United States is battered every 15 seconds, according to Federal Bureau of Investigation statistics.
Front of Merca Massachusetts St.
In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, volunteers, including University of Kansas students, will read the name of a woman and child killed because of domestic abuse every 15 seconds today between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. in front of Mercantile Bank, 900
The "Remember My Name" reading is sponsored by Women's Transitional Care Services, Lawrence's shelter for battered women.
Almas Sayeed,
Wichita junior, will
read names at the
vigil.
Sayeed said the reading served as a memorial for the women and children who had been killed.
"I think it's extremely important to reflect on the impact domestic violence has had and is having in our community and in our society," she said.
Hilary Van Patten,
Almena junior, also
will participate.
"It should be very visible," she said. "Hopefully, it will help raise awareness about the problem."

AWARENESS

Sarah Morrison, volunteer coordinator for the shelter, said awareness was important, because domestic abuse was sometimes considered a private family matter. She said it was unfortunate that many people blamed women for staying in abusive relationships instead of wondering why men were abusive.

"A lot of times people assume that it has to do with the batterer's temper, or a drinking problem, for example, when actually the cause is the batterer's desire to have power and control over their partner's life." she said.
Sayeed, currently an advocate at the shelter, said her dream was to work with international development and give women the economic opportunity to become less dependent on men.
With funding from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Sayeed had an internship during the summer with the Association of Women Entrepreneurs of Karnataka in India.
Sayeed said she saw some of the same domestic violence issues in India that she saw in Lawrence. Even though most families were supportive, she said, some husbands didn't want women to have any money or economic power.
The association provides loans to women who do not qualify for traditional bank loans so that they can start their own businesses.
"Economic control is part of the cycle of abuse." Saveed said.
Van Patten, also an advocate for the shelter, described herself as an advocate for women's empowerment. She plays games with children at the shelter and answers the shelter's crisis line. She also listens to the women at the shelter.
"It's a very vulnerable time and a critical time for making decisions, and I want to be there to offer support and resources," Van Patten said.
The shelter's location is kept secret for safety reasons, and Morrison said that sometimes the shelter's 40 beds were all full.
The shelter's phone number is 843-3333.

ACLU will show film with evolution theme
The University of Kansas chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union will tackle another hot-button issue this fall, showing the evolution-themed film, Inherit the Wind, the week of Nov. 28.
On Wednesday, KU ACLU will request $330 from Student Senate to fund the screening of the 1960 movie. Film rental would be $250 and $80 would be allocated for advertising.
Inherit the Wind is a fictionalized retelling of the 1925 trial in which a Tennessee school teacher, John Scopes, was charged with breaking state law by teaching evolution as a theory.
J. D. Jenkins, advocacy chair for the KU ACU and senior holdover senator, submitted the bill requesting funds along with student senators, Aravind Muthukishran, Katie Bartkoski and Erin Simpson.
Even if Senate refuses to give the KU ACLU funding, the show will go on.
The film will be shown at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. A specific date has not yet been set. State refugees to receive
"It'll be shown one way or another," said Buddy Lloyd, KU ALCU media director.

Committee concluding search for new dean
After a search spanning two academic years, administrators are in the final stages of selecting a new dean of fine arts.
The dean of fine arts search committee will make a decision this evening on whom to recommend for the job and forward that decision to Provost David Shulenburger, said John Gaunt, dean of architecture and search committee chair.
That follows interviews last week with the two finalists, Carole Ross, interim dean of fine arts, and Toni-Marie Montgomery, director of the school of music at Arizona State University.
Gaunt said both had separate interviews with the search committee and with fine arts faculty and students last week.
In her interview with faculty on Thursday, Montgomery said she had already told Arizona State officials that she would leave the school after this academic year
Gaunt said the committee had several options in its recommendation to the provost. The committee can recommend
both of the candidates, one of the candidates or neither of the candidates.
Shulenburger will ultimately choose who will get the job, he said.
Shulenburger was unavailable for comment Friday about when he might make his choice.

Gaunt said he was hopeful that this would be the end of a long search that failed to install a dean last spring.
Library celebrates anniversary, new dean
Around this time in 1924, Watson Library first opened its doors to University of Kansas students.
On Saturday, the library opened its doors to students and alumni to honor the library's 75th birthday and to recognize Keith Russell, new dean of libraries.
Mary Rosenbloom, Watson external relations representative, said the main goal of the open house was to recognize the library's anniversary and recreate a sense of what it was like at the first open house 75 years ago.
"We want to have a happy time, a fun time, and recognize the staff," she said. "I think it's really, really wonderful that the library is having this."

Sorority to collect clothes for local charity
Zeta Beta Beta sorority members will collect used clothes on campus today through Friday and will donate to area charities.
Drop-off boxes will be located at all Daisy Hill residence halls as well as at several fraternity and sorority houses during the week.
Jocelyn Grant, St. Louis, Mo., senior and Zeta Phi Beta member, said the sorority would give the clothing to Women's Transitional Care Services and to the Hannah's House Foundation.
"We figured this would be the best time to do it while making the transition from summer into winter," Grant said. "It doesn't make sense for people just to throw their unwanted clothing away."

Campanile chimes to be replaced today
Albert Gerken, University carillonle and professor of music, said a clapper in the carillon snapped sometime this weekend. As a result, one of the bells could not be played.
The chimes from the University of Kansas Memorial Campanile had a few missing notes this weekend.
Gerken said that he would replace the clapper and that he hoped to have all the bells playing again sometime today.
Gerken has been playing the carillon since 1963. The bells last went silent in the fall of 1993, and returned in 1996 after a hiatus of two and a half years. The carillon undewent a $450,000 renovation after the University's Campaign Kansas fund drive, from 1988 to 1992.

Officer to face charges after crash with cyclist
Micah Stegall, an off-duty Lawrence police officer involved in an alcohol-related accident in August, faces pending criminal and civil charges.
Bicyclist Steve Mitchell, 22, was struck by a Jeep Wrangler driven by Stegall on the evening of Aug. 14. Stegall was traveling south on Vermont Street when he turned left onto Eighth Street and swerved onto the southern sidewalk, colliding with Mitchell.
Stegall answered a probable cause warrant Friday. He was booked into the Douglas County Jail on charges of battery and driving while intoxicated. He was released later that evening on his own recognition, according to the Douglas County Jail.
Mitchell was treated and released at Lawrence Memorial Hospital the night of the accident. He later underwent plastic surgery for damage to his thumb.
"I went light," he said. "I'm not trying to screw him out of anything." Stegall's first court appearance is scheduled at 3 p.m. Oct. 14.
Following the accident, Stegall was placed on administrative leave from the Lawrence Police Department.
Mitchell said he planned on taking civil action but could not remember what the exact charges were.

Blood donors asked to add names to list
By Lori O'Toole
By Lori O'Dole
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Blood donors will have a new option at the campuswide blood drive this week - they can choose to have their names added to the American Bone Marrow Donor Registry, a list of potential bone marrow donors that is accessible by needy patients across the world.
Annie Hendricks, Clinton, Mo., senior, said she approached Blood Drive representatives with the idea several months ago.
Hendricks had a specific reason for encouraging fellow students to consider donating bone marrow — she was a recipient of a bone marrow transplant after receiving a leukemia diagnosis during October of her freshman year.
"I was very,very lucky." she said.
According to the American Bone Marrow Donor Registry's web page, the odds are one in 20,000 of matching a compatible donor with a recipient.
"I'm fine now, so I think that shows that a couple days of discomfort is worth saving someone's life." Hendricks said.
A needle is inserted into the donor's hip bone to extract the bone marrow, which is in turn injected into the recipient's hip bone.
Hendricks said she hoped students would not be too intimidated by the procedure to sign up as a potential donor.
The process of adding a name to the registry usually costs $60. However, the bone marrow registry waived the fee this week for

if a person on the list is chosen as a donor, a representative from the registry will contact him or her immediately. Once a match is confirmed, a transplant could be scheduled with the donor's consent.
There is no cost to donate bone marrow through the registry because the recipient pays for all procedures.
Students also can remove their names from the registry at any time.
Hendricks said she hoped many students would add their names to the registry this week.

University Relations director to leave
Tom Hutton to take job at University of Colorado at Colorado Springs
writer@kansan.com
Kansan Staff Writer
By Michael Terry
Tom Hutton, director of University Relations, announced Friday that he is leaving the University to take a position with the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.
Hutton said he planned to leave the University of Kansas around Thanksgiving break and would start his new job as the director of the UCCS Office of University Relations on Dec. 1.
Hutton is a native of Kansas City, Kan., and worked for Hutchinson-based Harris Enterprises as a reporter, editor and manager before taking the job as the University's associate director of University Relations in 1990. He was named acting director in 1992 and director in 1993. Hutton is a 1983 graduate of the William Allen White School of Journalism. Hutton said he was compelled by UCS.
Hutton said he was approached by UCCS about the position a few weeks ago and that the offer of the position was fairly sudden.
"The job offer at UCCS was very attractive and offered me a better opportunity for advancement," Hutton said. "It's a different organization that challenges me with the job of helping a smaller university grow."
Hutton said that UCCS was planning an aggressive effort to increase enrollment from 7,500 to 10,000, which he would help the university to achieve.
Hutton said his biggest accomplishment at the University was the improvement of its relationship with the news media. He also cited the accomplishments of his staff.
"Over the last few years I have worked with my staff to produce a number of award winning publications and videos on the
University's impact on the state and nation." Hutton said. "I've enjoyed working at the University, and I'm very appreciative of the opportunities it has given me."
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said that Hutton was an excellent employee.
Lynn Bretz, associate director of University Relations, said she also was sorry to see Hutton go because he really cared about the University.
"I m sorry to see him go." Hemenway said.
"But they made him an attractive offer, and he will be a valuable asset to the university."
"Tom was fun to work with and committed to the University, and his departure will be a real loss," Bretz said.
Hutton said he planned to tie all possible loose ends before his departure.
"There are a number of projects that I'm in the process of working on, and I hope to have everything finished or reassigned before I leave for UCCS," he said.

Y2K task force helps smooth transition to 2000
By Derek Prater
Kansan staff writer
The Lawrence-Douglas County Y2K Community Information Task Force is conducting a public forum tonight to provide information about personal preparedness for the Year 2000 transition.
University will attend, in addition to representatives from the city of Lawrence, Douglas County and the local chapter of the American Red Cross
Jerry Manweller, task force chairman and vice president of information technologies and general manager of Fundamental Technology, said the forum would provide introductory information and question and answer sessions from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St.
"The purpose of the task force is to inform the public," Manweiler said.
Representatives from the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations
KU students should attend because many students have their own computers and software and need to know how to prepare for Y2K, Manweiler said. The forum also will provide students with information on how to contact the University with questions about how Y2K may effect University functions, he said.
Marilu Gooodyear, vice chancellor for information services; Mike Richardson, director of facilities operations; and John Mullens, assistant director of
the Public Safety Office; will represent the University at the forum.
Mullens said University officials generally thought that the University was prepared for Y2K.
"The expectation from the University is that everything is going to go smoothly," he said.
Gayle Martin, communications coordinator for the city of Lawrence, said the city started preparing for Y2K early.
Martin said the city had been periodically releasing Year 2000 readiness disclosures that assessed the readiness of city services, including emergency, water and waste water treatment and sanitation collection. "We feel confident." she said.
"We feel confident," she said. "We got out in front of this issue early."
An update of the readiness disclosure statement is planned for some time this month, she said.
The task force, which meets monthly, has planned a live cablecast for Nov. 15 and an open microphone forum in December, Martin said.
In addition to the forums, the task force sent out 26.000 Y2K pamphlets in August utility bills and a Web site at www.ci.lawrence.ks.us/y2k/
Martin said 80 percent of the questions she received from concerned citizens could be answered by visiting the Web site. She also said people without Internet access could find the same information at the Lawrence Public Library.

Attention smokers: Please dispose of your cigarettes in proper place
There is a section in the film adaptation of the great gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson's tale "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" in which the narrator and his attorney are allowed into a Vegas show on the condition that they stand in an appropriate place and do not smoke.
We have a similar request of the student body. Please obey the signs near building entrances that say you must stand at least 20 feet away if you are going to smoke. If you come within 20 feet, please stop smoking.
Our request does not end there. When you put out your cigarette, please dispose of it in a proper place. As of now, it is seemingly impossible to walk five feet without
Give a hoot; improperly disposed cigarettes not only pollute, they start fires
stepping on at least one cigarette butt. Often, it is impossible to do so without stepping on five or 10. This is simply ugly.
One of the great resources of our university is a beautiful campus. We should not take this for granted and assume that, without at least some minimal effort, it will stay that way.
Disposing of butts in ashtrays is not only an issue of appearance, it is also an issue of safety. A small fire was recently started near Strong
Hall because someone had thrown a still-lit cigarette into the wood chips near the building. Though the fire was put out fairly quickly, it was big enough to singe a few windows.
We do not deny the bent, childish appeal of things burning; but, nonethe-less, there is a reason Beavis and Butt-head never made it to college. Fire and large public buildings don't mix. Certainly no one wants to be responsible for damage, or even causing an injury, that could have been avoided.
We do not mean to deny anyone their right to nicotine addiction. Smoke all you want, but please be responsible and respectful. Our safety is at risk.

Threats against exhibit inexcusable
On Wednesday, Sept. 22, New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani threatened to cut off all city funding to the Brooklyn Museum of Art unless it canceled a show titled "Sensation: Young British Artists from the Saatchi Collection."
Mayor Giuliani's opposition to the exhibit and subsequent threat of action against the museum is frightening.
The threat stemmed from the controversial nature of the exhibit, which is meant to be thought provoking and possibly even disturbing. At the center of the debate is a 1996 piece by British-born artist Chris Offil, titled "The Holy Virgin Mary." The piece depicts an image of a black Madonna with a clump of elephant
Mayor Giuliani's threat of action against museum for exhibit is frightening

Ofili's piece has been singled out by Giuliani and his supporters as a desecration of the Catholic religion.

exhibit, but cutting off the museum's funding and forcing the support of the arts entirely into the hands of private funds is dangerous.
For the time being we are still afforded some freedoms of individual expression and can expect the possibility of some assistance and support from our elected governing bodies.
What Mayor Giuliani and his supporters are trying to do is chilling. As a public leader, he has all the right in the world to denounce this
As an American citizen, when you pay, you play. If you enjoy your right to express yourself, you must allow others to do the same.
It will be a sad day when the government decides to cut off support to those who still dare to look to themselves, question their upbringing and surroundings and share these interpretations with others.

Pavones, a beachside hamlet on Costa Rica's Golfo Dulce, is famous for one thing: the longest surfing waves in the world. On a good day, the waves can stretch up to a kilometer. Or so the guidebooks say.
My first overcast morning of surfing was not a good day. The water was choppy, the waves

were medium-sized and I had hasty instructions — paddle out, catch a wave, stand up. It looked easy enough from the shore.
Setting out barefoot for the water, I discovered surfing at Pavones is not a footfriendly activity. To get to the best waves, I first crossed the Rio Claro — 75 feet of knee-deep water rushing out of the hills. After stumbling on rocks, fighting the current and almost dropping my board, I found a stretch of sand on the far
At night things slow down early. Morning waves are more important than cuddlup up with bottlenecks. After the initial rush to catch the sun, surfing goes on all day, culminating in a showoff of skills for the sunset crowd on the beach.
Still waiting for a wave, I paddled to the side of the experienced surfers to watch technique. After a few minutes of bobbing up and down a wave came. My timing was off and the wave crashed over me, knocking me off my board. I regrown and paddled out a bit.
While there isn't much to do in town, the waves attract sun-bleached surfers from around the world. Two restaurants, one bar and a small grocery store cater to the visitors who usually say they're staying for "probably a few months."
Then it came. A wave, cresting just behind me. I paddled as the wave grabbed the board, rushing me towards the shore. I tried to stand up, lost my balance and tumbled inside the wave where I was rolled around like the inside of a washing machine.
bank. I crossed a couple hundred feet of rocks before I got to water deepen to maddle.
When the wave lost its momentum, I was left floating down from the big waves. Rather than paddle back against the current, I decided to walk up the shore. So I turned in, letting the small waves scot me along. On the shore I began picking my way tenderly across the rocks. 200 yards away, surfers bobbed among the waves.
rocks before I got to water deep enough to paddle. Getting to Pavones is no pleasure cruise either. For $2 per person, a vintage school bus hauls as many sweaty bodies as possible for the 30 miles from Golftio. With frequent stops for passengers, the ride lasts 21 1/2 hours. The sometimes gravel, sometimes paved, always curving road includes a ferry crossing of the muddy Rio Coto and a few wood plank bridges about as wide as the bus. I tried not to look at the swift streams below, but the lack of guardrails left nothing to the imagination.
On Costa Rica's back roads, thrills are free. Standing at the foaming edges of the water, the small waves I spotted from a distance had suddenly grown into white-capped monsters.

the board into the base of a wave so I wouldn't be washed back to shore. Once I got past the breakers, I sat up to assess the situation: I only had one jellyfish sting, my feet were feeling better and the water had the pleasant effect of a salt-water gargle inside and out. Around me, the other surfers eyed the sea, waiting.

The recent rash of bombings in Russia has given me a lump in my throat when thinking about my dear friends in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
It's that taste of fear you get when loved ones potentially are in danger, and you have no control of the situation. After hearing about the bombs, I quickly tried to call my friends but was unable to reach anyone. Usually, it

would be no cause to worry, but this time I was truly scared. What if something had happened to them?
Rumors spread that those responsible for the blasts were rebels from Dagestan who wanted to terrorize Russian citizens to avenge the war and destruction their country. Other allegations surround government officials who are creating havoc in an attempt to put off the upcoming elections.
Debates are brewing in Washington about who lost Russia in America's bureaucratic attempt to provide support for the complex problems in the former Soviet Union.
The explosions usually occurred in large apartment complexes, the typical living arrangement for Russian families. Timed to explode early in the morning, the bombs killed many innocent citizens in their sleep.
I'm more concerned about the common people's struggle than the red tape and corruption that bind Russia into a troubled country.

I've definitely made this attempt. In fact, my experiences have taught me that they are quite similar to me and you.
Many people also wonder why the Russian people haven't caught on to the concept of capitalism efficiently. An attempt to revamp an entire country's economic ideals involves changes in the structure of business, government and, most importantly, the thoughts and habits of the people who will run this new system.
Perhaps one of the most beneficial things the United States could bring to Russia would be an attempt to understand the plight of the common citizen.
Under Communist rule, the people may not have had much in the way of freedom or material goods, but they knew they would have something to eat.

dying or being injured pointlessly in an explosion angered and disturbed me greatly.
The former Soviet Union was enormous and included many different environments, ethnic groups and religions. Disagreements and fighting were inevitable.
Barlow is a Cherokee, Iowa, junior in Russian and East European studies.
It breaks my heart to hear my Russian loved ones say that they cannot make promises because of the insecurity that rules their lives. My dear friend, Olya, commented to me about how everyone feels unsure as to what the next day will bring. An unsettling tension rests on the daily lives of Russian citizens as they try to make sense of the intense changes that have been dropped on them in the last decade.
Fortunately, none of my friends were directly effected by the blasts, except for the general paranoia and frustration that the whole country experienced as a result of these morbid acts.
I think many Americans don't understand the reasons for the seemingly perpetual fighting in the former U.S.S.R. Parallels can be drawn to the Revolutionary War when the states wanted to be free from England because of changes in the colonists' lifestyles and ideals.
I feel as though most Americans are apathetic to Russian citizens. This may be due to previously-held notions that were created during the Cold War era; however, I think the apathy comes from a lack of empathy.

Formal fraternity recruitment draws few
By Lori O'Toole

Kansan staff writer
The University's first October fraternity formal recruitment began yesterday with about 30 participants — much less than the 150 anticipated by the Interfraternity Council.
"We're not at all discouraged," said Brian Cooper, Interfraternity Council vice president of recruitment. "This isn't the main way men join fraternities."
Cooper said the organization was not disappointed by the low numbers because 477 men joined chapter houses through open recruitment before the semester began. He said the formal process would serve as a supplement.

Last year, 40 men participated in formal recruitment when it took place in August. Bill Nelson, director of greek programs, said the schedule change to October was expected to generate more interest.
Participants will visit houses to talk to members, ask questions and find out what each chapter offers from 6 to 10 p.m. tonight and tomorrow.

Latina magazine editor urges students to chase dreams
PRESIDENT
Guzman: Challenged students to stay in touch
By Lesley Simmons writer @kanson.com Kanson staff writer
After Sandra Guzman, editor in chief of Latina magazine, spoke to a crowd of about 80 Friday night in the Kansas Union Ballroom, she hung around and asked students about their dreams.
If their dreams had anything to do with journalism or New York City, she offered her e-mail address and challenged them to keep in touch.
"She's my mentor," said Belinda
Hinojos, Kansas City, Kan., junior and member of Hispanic American Leadership Organization, who ate dinner with Guzman before her speech. "She's real. She gives a Latina perspective. She knows the cultural and social boundaries we face from our families and from society."
Guzman became a journalist because she wanted to see people like herself recognized and her love of words.

"Growing up, I felt like there were never stories written about people who looked like me or my mother or
Guzman has worked as a newspaper reporter, an on-camera television reporter, a producer for a television news program and as a representative for a New York City politician.
At one point, Guzman was fired from her job as a producer by a new manager who told her she didn't work hard enough. One week later, one of Guzman's television segments was nominated for an Emmy.
"When you're a Latina woman or a woman of color you have to be really aggressive," she said. "You have to see yourself living your dream."
Guzman made being fired a springboard for new opportunities.
She told students, especially women, to make time for themselves so they would have strength for the big fight.
"I didn't let racism or stupid comments keep me down," she said. "If you put a cap on your dreams, that is your fault."

Graduate student David Gramly will shoot his movie, Bottled Up, in December. Casting begins this week.
Holding the monkey's tale

Graduate student David Gramly will shoot his movie, Bottled Up, in December. Casting begins this week.
Student filmmaker turns his dream into movie reality
The structure is made of wood and metal, with a large opening in the middle. It has a stacked design, with logs arranged vertically to form a tower-like appearance. The wood appears to be weathered, giving it a rustic look. Metal components are used for the framework and support. The construction is sturdy and designed to be durable.
"The movie is an allegorical piece about addiction and dependency.Many people think it's about drugs,but it really is about relationships and many other things."
David Gramly
Lawrence
graduate
student
Sometimes when David Gramly dreams at night, those dreams come alive. And this time, his dream might even include you. Gramly.
Gramly, a 36-year-old Lawrence graduate student in the theater and film, will hold a casting call this week for his last cinematic endeavor, the short film Bottled Up.
Gramly said the idea for the movie, which will be produced and filmed locally, came from a dream he had almost ten years ago. In the years since, the concept has nagged him. He worked sporadically on the project and eventually wrote a script. Finally, ready for production, the film will be shot in December and January between academic semesters at Oldfather Studios and a yet-to-be chosen house in Lawrence. Gramly expects to complete the film in June.
The film, described as romantic horror, has four characters: a teenage boy and girl, an old man and a monkey with mind-controlling powers. A real monkey will not be used in the film. The film begins with the grandfather telling his grandson the story of a dangerous monkey he has bottled up and buried in the cellar.
The story then goes into a flashback mode of the grandfather's youth, in which he and a girl are drawn into a sort of never-land by the monkey. The creature, which they name Cupid, uses its powers to make the two fall in love. Cupid eventually kills the girl, causing the boy to kill the crazed monkey. But the monkey's supernatural powers allow it to come back to life. The best the boy can do is capture the monkey and bury it in the cellar.
"The movie is an allegorical piece about addiction and dependency," Gramly said. "Many people think it's about drugs, but it really is about relationships and many other things. The creature is a force of nature."
图10-3 舰艇上部结构
Gramly is making the film as part of an independent study at the University. He and Kirsten Peterson, the producer of Bottled Up, are paying for the $10.000 project out of their own pockets. They also are seeking donations from the community. Because the film
is an academic project,Gramly and Peterson are not supposed to make a profit on it, and actors will not be paid
Pieces of the Ride with the Devil cave scenery held in storage at Oldfather Studios will be used as the monkey's lair in Bottled Up.
This is a project that Gramly considers important, but one that he almost didn't live to make happen. This summer, he suffered life-
threatening injuries in a motorcycle accident. Gramly has no memory of the accident or several days on either side of it. He lay in a coma with a broken back, punctured lungs
and nerve damage in his hands
Peterson, Sioux City, Iowa, graduate student in arts management, said Gramly possessed exemplary talent and determination.
Just four months later, despite severe, chronic pain, Gramly is back on his feet and attending physical therapy that will bring function in his hands back to full strength.
"His definite strength is perseverance and positivity," Peterson said. "When things get down, he is raring to go."
Matt Jacobson, an associate professor of theater and film, said he had been taken with Gramly's determination as well.
"It is worthwhile when you have someone like David who has obviously overcome great personal difficulty to get to this point," Jacobson said.
Gramly and Peterson hope to enter the movie into the KAN Film Festival, sponsored by the Kansas Film Commission, in June. From there, the film could be shown at Liberty Hall or on cable television. Gramly's dream, though a long shot, would be to see the script sold for revision into a full-length film.
The fireplace from the set of Ride with the Devil, a film about Lawrence during the Civil War, will also appear in Gramly's movie.
"I want to see my dream made real and share that with people," Gramly said. "At the least, this will be a good portfolio piece for me. You have to do this kind of work to do more later on."

SNL album ignores best of show's performances
By Chris Eckert
Kansas music critic
Kansan music critic
In the middle of celebrating its 25th anniversary, long-running television series Saturday Night Live has released two compact discs touting once in a lifetime performances by musicians appear on the show.
But while the liner notes point out many memorable moments from the last two and a half decades, the producers of the compilation ignore most of them.
Disc facts
Artist:
Various
Title:
SNL25
Volume one,
which should
be labeled the
baby boomer
targeted volume,
touts the
classic performances of various 1970s luminaries, such as jazz great Ornette Coleman's only network appearance and Paul Simon's many appearances in the early run.
Grade:
Vol. 1: C+
Vol. 2: C
Label:
Dreamworks
However, these performances only make it into the liner notes. When listening to the album, lesser-known talents like Coleman or Patti Smith lose their spots to multi-platinum acts like Jewel and Dave Matthews Band trudging through their signature hits. There are some nice performances on the disc, such as a somber You Look Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton and a peppy Casey Jones from the Grateful Dead. The only true standout is Elvis Costello's fake-out start of Less Than Zero that switches into Radio Radio against the wishes of the network and record label. Having Costello appear on a network show in 1977 was the closest thing to the cutting edge the liner notes describe on either album.
Elsewhere on volume one, superior early performances by David Bowie, Randy Newman and Tom Petty are all forsaken for tepid recent appearances.
Volume Two features a similarly confusing lineup. Janet Jackson, Mary J Blige and TLC seem somewhat out of place next to the alternative nature of other performers, and Arrested Development's Tennessee seems to be strange choice for rap's album representative.
There are a few unexpected songs, like Oasis' B-side Acquisence or Nirvana's Rape me, but it's doubtful what another live version of Hand in My Pocket or Losing My Religion can contribute to any musical archive.
And again, where are the legendary moments like Sinead O'Conner's attack on the Pope or Steve Forbes introduction of Rage Against the Machine?
The list of musical guests that have appeared on Saturday Night Live can be impressive and gives a rage of hope that further volumes of this series will not be as mired in mediocry as these are.

Kansas tames Mustangs
Reserves step into the spotlight in 27-9 victory
36
By Mike Miller
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Kansas made do with what it had Saturday — and it showed in a 27-9 win against Southern Methodist.
Injuries and the lack of a running game made things difficult for the Jayhawks, who used depth and defense to their advantage. Three little-used skill position players established career highs, mostly because of extra playing time.
It wasn't the prettiest game — four Kansas turnovers allowed Southern Methodist to hang around — but in the end, it didn't matter to Kansas. The two game losing streak was gone.
"It wasn't very pretty today, but we had a feeling it might not be," Coach Terry Allen said.

"The defense played well after they settled down. Offensively we're just banged up."
Try beating up.
Three running backs — David Winbush,
Mitch Bowles and Henri Childs — were injured, adding to the body count on Kansas' sideline. Wide receivers Termaine Fulton, Byron Gasaway and Eric Patterson and tight end Jason Gulley didn't even suit up for the game.
But their injuries gave running backs Matt Jordan and Mike Lewis chances to play.
Jordan set a career high with 13 rushing attempts and Lewis scored a touchdown, but they couldn't solve the Jayhawks' running problems. For the third straight game, Kansas averaged three yards per rushing attempt, adding pressure on quarterback Dylan Smith's first career start.
With three wide receivers missing in action, Smith turned to familiar targets and to new ones.
"He uses his athletic ability well and that really helps us," Allen said. "He can get better, and he will get better."
Smith threw three interceptions, but he also created plays with his mobility in the pocket. The new offensive schemes — bootlegs, quarterback draws and the option — suit Smith's running ability, which encouraged Allen.
Harrison Hill and Michael Chandler both caught four passes, but fullback Moran Norris, wide receiver Algen Williams and tight end David Hurst all set career heights in receptions.

Wild finish nets conference win for Jayhawks
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
It may have been the wildest 20 minutes of soccer in Kansas soccer history, but that's what it took for the Jayhawks to capture their first Big 12 Conference win of the season.
All five goals were scored in the final 20 minutes of Kansas' 3-2 win yesterday against Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas.
Both teams were coming off Friday battles against top-20 opponents. Texas Tech defeated No. 20 Missouri 4-1 and Kansas fell to No. 24 Railor 2-1 in the game's final seconds.
Kansas and Texas Tech players appeared to be fatigued as the game was scoreless for the first 70 minutes.
"The first half we were horrible," Kansas coach Mark Francis said. "We looked tired. Friday's game took a lot out of us."
The final minutes against Texas Tech were much different.
The win improved the Jayhawks to 6-5, 1-3 in the Big 12, and dropped the Red Raiders to 5-6-1, 1-3 in the conference.
The final minutes a were much different.
The scoring began in the 72nd minute when
Kansas junior forward Hilla Rantala scored an unassisted goal. Less than five minutes later Texas Tech answered with a goal by Carrie Graham.

Allen has enough problems already, don't be one more
Let's get one thing straight. Kansas 27, Southern Methodist 9, really doesn't prove anything.
"We won, and that's only reason I'm not banging my head against the wall," wide receiver Michael Chandler said. "Because I'm very frustrated with how we played offensively."
The win didn't prove anything, but it shouldn't have to. Beating Southern Methodist may quiet those calling for
Terry Allen's head, but it sure won't keep them muffled for long. And that's a shame.
Unless long to you is five days. Because that's how long Kansas fans have before No. 9 Kansas State beats the Jayhawks like the instate stepchild they are.

"We obviously need to improve," he said, "but I think if we do that, we 'an go in there and upset

them. Maybe that's just conceived attitude, but I'm willing to put it on the line like that."
And I hope he's right. I hate few things in sports, but K-State football is an exception. There's little I'd like better than a Kansas win in Manhattan, but let's be realistic. Unless the college football gods are Kansas alumni, it's not going to happen.
But please, do me a favor. Do everyone a favor. After the game, please, please, please don't make a fool of yourself. Don't start with the what-the-heck-is-Terry-Allen-doing comments. Don't question his coaching ability just because he came to Kansas from Division I-AA Northern Iowa.
Because when he took the job two years ago, you, you the Kansas fan, were clear about what you wanted. After two straight years of not knowing if Glen Mason wanted to coach here, you wanted a loyal man. You wanted a personable coach. You wanted to win, sure, but you wanted a coach you could root for.
Terry Allen is that man, and he's being booed off the field. He's being ridiculed on his own call-in show. You question him, you wonder if he should be Kansas' coach next year.
Terry Allen has enough things working against his ambitions to improve Kansas football. There's the fallout from Mason's awkward, if not bitter, departure. Mason's Georgia-one-moment-Kansas-the-next-and-off-to-Minnesota-a-year-later shenanigas ruined recruiting for two years. Recruits from those two years are this season's upperclassmen. Think about that the next time you wonder why Kansas doesn't have more playmakers.
terry Allen has enough things working against his ambitions to improve Kansas football. He has no tradition to talk to recruits about, the stadium is old, the turf faded, and there's no home-field advantage. And with K-State's recent success, Allen will have to work extra hard to get what limited high-school talent this state produces. Oh, and even if Allen overcomes all these obstacles, and even if the team completely turns around, it will always take a backseat midway through every season when basketball starts.
Alien and the Kansas football team have enough obstacles between them and success. Don't add another.

Kansas volleyball bumps off Red Raiders for first time
By Shawn Hutchinson

Kansan sportwriter
Mary Beth Albrecht picked the perfect night to go on the offensive.
Albrecht, a senior outside hitter on the Kansas volleyball team, had a career-high 23 kills, including the 1,000th of her career, and led the Jayhawks to a 3-1 victory against Texas Tech Saturday night at the Horeisi Sport Athletics Center.
Before Saturday, Albrecht and the Jayhawks were 0-6 all-time in matches against the Red Raiders and had not won a single game against them since Oct. 11, 1996.
"The win alone is the best part." Albrecht said after she had become just the fifth Jayhawk in history to
record 1,000 kills. "Any win is important, but revenge is always sweet."
Indeed. The Jayhawks, 11-4 overall and 2-2 in the Big 12 Conference, had been blasted twice last year by Texas
Tech. Kansas lost 15-2, 15-2 and 15-1 in Lubbock, Texas, and was swept again in Lawrence, 15-8, 15-5 and 15-6.
"Last year we went to Tech and
we scored five points in three games." Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "They flat embarrassed us down there and that has kind of burned ever since."
VOLLEYBALL
The Jayhawks were the ones doing the burning Saturday night, dropping Texas Tech to 10-6 overall and 0-4 in the Big 12.
— junior outside hitter Colleen Smith. Smith, the 6-foot-7 preseason Big 12 Newcomer of the Year, had four kills in the game and one block-solo and two block-assists for the match.
The Red Raiders turned around and won game two, 15-12, when they looked for help from their top player
That philosphy served Kansas well in game three, which had a total of 53
"She's tall, and she reaches pretty high just on her tip-toes," Beard said. "But) after game two, we said we're going to forget about what Texas Tech is doing and just take care of our side of the net."
Kansas won game one, 16,14, after overcoming an early 6-3 deficit. Albrecht picked up seven kills in the game, while junior outside hitters Amy Myatt and Danielle Geronymo had three apiece.
sideouts. Albrecht had eight kills in the game, while junior outside hitter Nancy Bell came off the bench and sparked the Jayhawks.
Bell recorded 10 kills for the match, six in game three, a game that the Jayhawks rebounded from 9-2 and 13-10 deficits and won 16-14.
From that point, the Red Raiders never recovered. Kansas senior middle blocker Amanda Reves blasted seven kills as the Jayhawks rolled to a 9-1 lead in game four. Kansas went on to a match-clinching 15- victory.
The Jayhawks next game will be at 7 p.m. Wednesday when they hit the road to take on the Oklahoma Sooners in Norman, Okla.

Sisters duel to finish in Grand Slam Cup
MUNICH, Germany — With her mother in the stands and her sister on the opposite side of the court, Serena Williams took little delight in this victory.
The U.S. Open champion won 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 yesterday in a final in which the sisters showed little emotion during the match but embauched at the net when it was completed.
It didn't matter that she had just beaten big sister Venus for the first time. Or that she had won the Grand Slam Cup and an accompanying $900,000 payday. Or that she had extended her winning streak to 16. These family showdowns are draining.
"I've never actually beaten Venus; I didn't know how it feels," she said. "It's kind of tough to take this win."
Venus, at 19 a year older than her sister, applauded at the finish, as did their mother. Oracene.
"It's a win-win situation," said Venus, the 1998 champion. "One daughter is going to win. What's the difference?"
To David Cone, Omar Vizuel and most everyone else in the AL playoffs, these matchups look extremely familiar.

Women's tennis holds own without seniors
Bv Brent Briaaeman
Kansan sportswriter
In the absence of its senior leaders, the Kansas women's tennis team gave its coach a glimpse of the future.
Kansas went to Houston last weekend for the Rice Tennis Classic without its top players and team leaders, Brooke Chiller and Julia Sidorova. Seniors Chiller and Sidorova were competing at the World Team Tennis Championship in Palo Alto, Calif.
But the underclassmen didn't skip a beat without their senior leaders.
Sophomores Christi Wagenaar and Lisa Malliaah made it through the
weekend without dropping a match before meeting each other in the Flight C singles finals. Wagenaar defeated her teammate in straight sets to claim the championship.
"Having both of our players in the Flight C finals is an indication of how deep our team really is," Garrity said. "I'm very proud of Christi and Lisa for their efforts in the tournament."
The win moved Wagenaar to a perfect 6-0 in singles play on the year.
"Christi played outstanding for the

second weekend in a row," Garrity said. "Especially this weekend winning both singles and doubles titles."
Cheryl Mallaiah and Tiffany Chang defeated the Mississippi team of Camilla Gould and Irena Mihailova in the Flight A doubles championship.
Maliahia, a sophomore, finished the weekend by defeating Tulane's Julie Morris in the Flight A consolation bracket.
Garrity was pleased with Malliaah's performance.
"Cheryl did a very good job of finishing the tournament strong after dropping the first round match to
probably the tournament's best player, Vladka Uhlirova from Texas." Garrity said. "She had a very tough draw this weekend."
Chang, the only freshman on the Kansas roster, also won her final match of the weekend to claim fifth place in Flight B. She is now 4-2 on the season.
In Palo Alto, Kansas was eliminated from the main draw after losing to second-seeded Mississippi in the first round.

Chargers' defense frustrates Chiefs
The Associated Press
SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Chargers' defense saved some face yesterday.
A week after allowing Peyton Manning to throw for 404 yards, San Diego intercepted Elvis Grbac four times, two of them leading to touchdowns, as the Chargers rallied from a 14-0 deficit to beat the Kansas City Chiefs 21-14.
San Diego (2-1) beat the AFC West rival Chiefs (2-2) for the second straight time.
Cornerback Darryll Lewis, starting in place of the injured Terrance Shaw, had two interceptions as the defense balled out the non-existent
CHIEFS
offense.
Kansas City got inside the Chargers' 35 twice in the final three minutes, but failed to score. With 10 seconds left and no timeouts remaining, Grubc inexplicably threw a pass down the middle to tight end Tony Gonzalez to the 32, and the Chiefs couldn't get off another play before time expired. The Chiefs were hurt by 13 penalties for 113 yards.
Lewis got his first interception after linebackers Junior Seau and Lew Bush pressured Grbac, and an
unnecessary roughness call on Chiefs center Tim Grunhard moved the ball to the Kansas City 22. That set up Kramer's 11-yard touchdown pass to Chris Penn for a 21-14 lead with 10:57 to go in the third quarter.
Another Chargers touchdown was set up when Kansas City punter Daniel Pope dropped the snap, tried to run and was tackled by Kenny Bynum at the Chiefs 18 late in the second quarter. Bynum scored two plays later on a trick play to tie the score at 14 going into halftime.
San Diego started its comeback against the Chiefs with an interception and 24-yard return by safety Michael Dumas to the Kansas City 10

After Pope's muffed punt attempt, Bynum scored on the Chargers' best offensive play all game. Kramer faked a handoff to Bynum, faked a reverse to Jeff Graham and then found Bynum wide open for the tying touchdown.

Alabama kick upsets Gators
The Associated Press
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - It was the kind of victory that can make a season and save a career. Just ask No. 21 Alabama and its embattled coach. Mike DuBose.
The Crimson Tide snapped No. 3 Florida's 90-game winning streak at The Swamp on Saturday when Chris Kemp got a second chance on an extrapoint attempt in overtime and drilled it for a 40-39 win.
In an effort that would have shocked the late Bear Bryant as much as it would have pleased him, the Crimson Tide (4-1, 30 Southeastern Conference) controlled the ball for 41 minutes and 21 seconds, racked up 447 yards in offense and matched Steve Squirrier's Gators score for score.
FOOTBALL RESULTS
"I am so proud of this coaching staff and this football team for staying together, for believing in each other," DuBose said. "We believed in the team concept when there were lots of times where they could have split and splintered."
By overcoming Florida (4-1,
2-1), the Tide sent the message that, indeed, Alabama is back, despite the tumult that had engulfed the program.

The Clinton administration contends the shortcomings in the CIA's monitoring capabilities give reason to ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. Republicans who control the
Senate, disagree. They contend that the treaty, signed by 150 countries, is flawed in other ways and would amount to unilateral disarmament by the United States.
Republicans, who control the
Twice last month, U.S. intelligence saw signs of activity in Russia that could have indicated secret testing. The CIA was unable to say with certainty exactly what was happening.
"We don't know that there was any testing go on." White House Chief of Staff John Podesta said yesterday on CNN's "Late Edition."
"This is really an argument for the treaty," he said.
The treaty, a plank in the 1992 Democratic Party platform, went to the Senate for ratification in 1997. It languished there until last week, when Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., unexpectedly scheduled a full Senate vote for Oct. 12.
CIA Director George Tenet is scheduled to give secret briefings in Congress and testify in private hearings this week. He is likely to be grilled on the low-level testing question.
A U.S. intelligence official said yesterday the CIA repeatedly had discussed with lawmakers about the difficulty in monitoring such tests.
David Leavy, spokesman for the National Security Council, said ratifying the treaty would help the United States stop others from conducting nuclear weapons tests partly because of the political pressure that 150 signatories bring.
"The United States does not test and has no plans to," Leavy said. "This treaty prevents other countries. It is about preventing nuclear war."
Missile defense system on target
The Associated Press
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif.—A prototype national missile defense system passed a critical test on Saturday, intercepting and destroying an unarmed missile on a 16,000-mph collision course over the Pacific.
"It was a successful intercept," said Sheryl Irwin, a representative for the Department of Defense. "It did everything it was supposed to do, and it did it perfectly."
It was the first test of the missile's ability to destroy a target by smashing into it.
An unarmed Minuteman missile carrying a dummy warhead and a decoy balloon was launched just after 7 p.m. from this coastal base on a flight over the Pacific.
About 20 minutes later, the missile, known as the kill vehicle, was launched from the Marshall Islands. The two missiles hurtled toward each other at a combined speed of about 16,000 mph.
"You saw it explode, and there was a loud roar — a very happy one that went up from the room. It proves that this technology is working and we can move forward with the program," she said.
"It looks like a great, big old bright flash," said Irwin, who watched from a Pentagon room crowded with anxious military observers.
Kill Vehicle, a 55-inch-long, 120-pound device carried aloft on a booster rocket.
The system is designed to destroy missiles launched by rogue states or terrorists, not a multimissile barrage from a major nuclear power.
The Minuteman's vapor cloud, lit in rainbow colors by the setting sun, could be seen for hundreds of miles.
The defender was the Raytheon-built Exoatmospheric
Some critics have faulted the test plan as unrealistic and too limited to use to make a sound decision, while peace activists who demonstrated outside the base a week ago denounced the testing as preparation for war.
The test is the first of three before a readiness review scheduled by the Pentagon for June. To proceed with broader testing, at least two of the tests must result in an interception.
The test comes as nations such as North Korea, Iran and Syria are, according to the CIA, developing long-range missiles that could hit the United States.
Ten minutes later, 3,000 miles from California and about 140 miles above the ocean, they met.
Dissected pig elephant dung draw thousands to art museum
Museum officials in turn sued Giuliani. The city responded by suing the museum in an effort to evict it from the city-owned building where it has resided for more than a century. Both lawsuits are pending.
Cora Ferrer said the furor also brought her to the show.
"The mayor did me a favor," she said. "If he kept his mouth shut, I never would have heard of this show. If I listened to him, I would have missed all the beauty inside."
The beauty included a dissected cow and pig, castrated male dummies lashed to a tree and the infamous painting "The Holy Virgin Mary" with its splash of elephant dung.
The controversy began Sept. 22 when the mayor announced that he was cutting off the museum's $7 million in annual funding unless the exhibit was pulled. Gluiani attacked the exhibit with escalating insults calling it sick, Catholic bashing and pedophiles on parade.
The crowd began queuing up three hours before the opening, which attracted scores of angry protesters upset by art that was deemed religiously offensive or pro-animal cruelty. Several museum visitors said that Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's bitter opposition to the show had actually prompted them to attend.
The Associated Press
They did by the hundreds Saturday at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, where the much-maligned and megahyped "Sensation" exhibit drew an overflow crowd of art lovers, scene makers and the merely curious.
NEW YORK—If you build it — even with elephant dung, bisected pigs and a severed cow's head — and call it art, they will come.
E
More than 9,200 people toured the show, filling the space to capacity. Police remained on site until the museum closed at 11 p.m., though authorities said the scene was calm.

Quarterback change benches senior captain
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
It was the end of one era and the beginning of another at Memorial Stadium Saturday
Rumors circled throughout the past
week that a quarterback change was in the cards. On Saturday, Kansas coach Terry Allen played his ace in junior Dylan Smith and folded on Zac Wegner, who was sent to the bench.
Allen said he chose athleticism instead of experience, choosing the mobile Smith to be the Jacouhawk's starter.
Wegner: Demoted to backup quarterback
instead of Wegner, the team's senior captain, for the remainder of the season.
"We just thought that Dylen had the
athletism to help us a little more." Allen said. "You're always one snap away from using another quarterback, but Dylan's going to start."
In his first start as a Jayhawk, Smith, transferred from Santa Monica Community College, connected on 19 of 34 passes for 215 yards and two touchdowns. Allen said after the game that he was pleased with Smith's reading of Southern Methodist's defense.
Despite the positive statistics, Smith threw three interceptions against the Mustangs and Allen said that number must decrease.
"One of those was obviously one that goes through a guys hands and ends up in the other guy's hands," Allen said of Smith's second quarter interception that bounced off of tight end Sean McDermott's torso and into Mustang Tracy Hart's hands. "The other two were a little disappointing because he tried to force them in there."
Overall, Smith was pleased with the results of his first starting assignment.
"I could have played a lot better, but I feel I can play better every week." Smith said. "On a scale of one to 10, I would probably give myself a seven."
Saturday's game ends a tumultuous week for both Smith and Wagner. Allen informed the two quarterbacks last Tuesday that Smith would be starting

against Southern Methodist, and Smith and Wegner showed a mix of emotions during the week leading up to the game.
"Conch Allen told me on Tuesday, and I was a little nervous at first," Smith said. "But the players were behind me and confident in me. And if they were confident, then I had to be confident."
For Wegner, the past week simply has been about coming to terms with the fact that he is now the Jayhawks' backun quarterback.
"I've accepted my role," Wegner said. "I'm one play away from going back in,
and it's important for me to be really supportive, especially on the sidelines."
Allen said that Smith would remain the starter until he announced otherwise and that Wegner would be relied on heavily on the sidelines. Overall, Wegner has taken the demotion in stride. Allen said.
"I're extremely proud of Zac in this situation," Allen said. "He could have very easily gone into a shell and quit. But he's been very active in practice, trying to help Dylen, and he's another set of eyes for us. I'm just really proud of him."
Wegner said that the switch to backup didn't really sink in until he headed out for the pregame coin toss.
"It wasn't fun, and it wasn't easy." Wegner said about his pregame duties as captain. "If it hit me at any time that I wasn't going to play, it was probably right then. But it happens, and none of that affects me as a person. Obviously, it's a good thing because we pulled out a win."

"I don't know if the coaches enthous on doing that the rest of the year, but I hope so." Norr is said.
The first quarter notwithstanding. Southern Methodist never established a rhythm on offense, unable to run or throw the ball.
"We placed a lot more emphasis on pressuring the quarterback and making him uncomfortable with what we do," said linebacker Tim Bowers.
"It felt good as a defense to go out there and put together a complete defensive game."
The Mustangs were just what Kansas needed. Winless and hapless, they now have scored 28 points in four games and provided a rebound for Kansas.
"I can't complain. The win feels good, but it's not the same as a Big 12 team. That's a WAC team," said defensive end Dion Rayford. "It's not going to get any easier now."
That's a given with games at No. 9 Kansas State on Oct.
9 and No. 13 on Texas A&M Oct. 16. Right now, Allen just wants to get his players healthy and enjoy a win.
"It's been a long couple of weeks," Allen said. "I think the frustrations and disappointments are behind us, so let's just go see what can happen."

Meningitis warnings on 20/20 cause parents to call Watkins
By Amber Stuever
writer @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
An episode of ABC's news magazine 20/20, which aired Sept. 17, warned college students and their parents of an underexposed threat they called the "campus killer."
It hurked in university residence halls and thrived in familiar college environments such as bars and spring break destinations, and strikes and kills within 24 hours
"I wish we'd known about meningitis," said a parent in the 20/20 report who's daughter died from Meningitis. "I wish
someone had told us what the symptoms were, or that this was a problem."
After the report, Watkins Memorial Health Center was flooded with phone calls from concerned parents about this "campus killer" called Menigococcal Meningitis. The disease is highly contagious, and infects about 150 students per year, according to 20/20.
"My mom watched it and she called me the next day," said Tracey Blecher, Dallas junior. "She said, 'You have to go get a shot, I'm really worried.'"
In the week and a half after the report,
Watkins administered 50 meningitis vaccines, compared to only one or two given all of last year.
The 20/20 report said the disease was not widely

See MENINGITIS on page 2A
Meningitis is not new to the University of Kansas. In 1997, the illness struck Robert Brogi, a Deerfield, Ill., who died within hours. A form of meningitis also was diagnosed in Lea Cheyney, Glenwood, Iowa, junior, in 1996, but she lived.
Watkins liable in student death, parents allege
By Katie Hollar writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Nearly two years after the death of their daughter, Angela Griffin's parents are seeking compensation.
Wayne and Connie Griffin have filed a petition asking for more than $150,000 from the University of Kansas as compensation for negligent health care. The Griffins filed the petition with Douglas County Court Sept. 24.
comparison.
On the morning of Sept. 26, 1997, Griffin was found dead in her Ellsworth Hall room. She was a Uvssys freshman.
The petition names five defendants: Watkins Memorial Health Center; the University; Randall W. Rock, Watkins chief of staff; Cheryl Hickert, nurse practitioner; and Robert Brown, physician.
The petition stated that on or about Sept. 25, 1997, Angela Griffin sought and obtained medical care at Watkins. According to the petition, she was seen by Hickert and infectious mononucleosis was diagnosed. Medications were prescribed, and she was sent home. Griffin attempted to follow the treatment recommended by Watkins staff but was found dead in her room just before 10 a.m. the next day, the petition alleged.
Griffin was found by her roommate and her roommate's parents. Her neighbors in Ellsworth reported hearing her coughing all night.
The petition alleged that the medical care provided by the defendants to Griffin was negligent and such care and treatment caused or contributed to her death.
Two counts listed in the petition were wrongful death and survival action, or the unnecessary and conscious pain, suffering
and fear, prior to her death. The Griffins seek more than $75,000 for each count.
Hickert was unavailable for comment yesterday.
Rock and Brown declined to comment, and referred questions to the office of David Amber, vice-chancellor for student affairs.
Ambler confirmed that Griffin was treated at Watkins but did not know the details of her treatment. He said Rock, Hickert and Brown continued to be employed at Watkins.
"There isn't much that we can say." Ambler said. "Whenever a lawsuit like this is filed, it becomes a legal matter. The University has very little comment."
When there was a suit against the University, the state would normally get involved, Ambler said. He said the state's attorney general would determine how the case would be handled.
Tiffany Ball, public information officer at the attorney general's office, said her office had received a copy of the petition.
"It has not yet been decided whether the case will be handled within our office or with outside counsel." she said.
Ambler said that to the best of his knowledge, this would be the first time Watkins had been sued.
Shenpeard said no court date had been set.
Cynthia Sheppeard, an attorney for the Griffins, said her clients had not given her permission to speak with the press, but that everything in the petition was true.
Stephen Sanker, the Director,
"The loss of Angie Griffin two years ago was a tragedy," said Ambler yesterday in a written statement. "It remains so today. We believe Angie's treatment at the University health center was appropriate and met the highest standard of care."

Task Force to review Senate fines process
By Chris Borniger writer kanson.com Kansan staff writer
The nature of next spring's Student Senate campaign could begin to take shape soon.
The Senate Task Force on Election and Referendum will have its first meeting tonight, and the elections commission's ability to fine candidates for campaign violations could be challenged.
Dede Seibel, student body vice president and chairwoman of the task force, said the commission's authority to impose fines on candidates and coalitions lacked due process.

"We're studying the things that make this system the good system that it is," she said.
"And we want to sure an appeals process is included in everything."
tiring.
Senate rules and regulations give the University of Kansas Judicial Board the authority to review the commission's rulings, except for findings of fact. Those factual findings include fines.
But Partha Mazumdar, graduate senator and a member of the task force, said the effort to end fines had long been a goal of candidates who racked up considerable fines.
Seibel said the task force would consider an amendment to end that.
Mazumdar said that if an appeals process were available, candidates would be more likely to commit violations, thinking they could avoid having to pay the penalty.
able fines.
In the elections of spring 1997, the Unite coalition earned more than $1,200 in fines for multiple violations of campaign guidelines. Former student body president Scott Sullivan and former
vice president Mike Walden accounted for about $1,060 of those fines.
"Ever since then, they've wanted an appeal process." Mazumdar said. "After you run an electoral campaign, you have about $3 left in your coalition bank account, so it comes out of your own pocket. You don't budget for fines."

The task force also will examine guidelines in the election code for spending limits, compliance with the Kansas Open Meetings Act, coalition affiliation and criteria for putting referenda on the ballot.
Seibel, however, said the appeals process would not lead to such results.
"If you knew you could steal a
"I don't think it will affect the outcome of elections to a large extent," she said.
None of the members of this year's commission would comment because the commission has not met. Its first meeting is Thursday.

Regents tour KU campus, address union questions
By Clay McCuistion
and Nathan Willis
and Nathan Willis
Kansan staff writers
Two representatives of the Kansas Board of Regents visited the University of Kansas campus for more than 10 hours yesterday — and were bombarded by everything from possible faculty unionization to high-powered microscopes.
Regent Bill Docking said in a 9 a.m. meeting with University governance leaders that the vote underway at Fort Hays State University on faculty unionization could be a precursor of things to come at the University.
"If we don't do better funding-wise, that's probably where we'll end up," he
said.
Topping the list of positive signs is the fact that the Regents now speak for 37 of Kansas' post-secondary educational institutions instead of just the six public universities, giving them more sweep, Wilcox said.
But trying to determine where the University and other Regents schools will end up as far as funds go has been difficult at this point, said Docking and Regents Executive Director Kim Wilcox. There are both positive and negative signs.
have a lot to gain."
"Facts aren't really what's important," he said. "What's important is the perception the Legislature has. If we can take this opportunity to say, 'yes, we are one big happy family now,' we
Plus, the Legislature still is lukewarm to the idea of raising faculty salaries, Docking said.
There are negative signs, too. Wilcox said that when he met with Gov. Bill Graves last week, Graves outlined a flat budget for next year because of the revenue shortages.
"Many legislators think we haven't made the case," he said. "That is so discouraging to think that you have to have an enormous problem on your hands before you can get the Legislature's attention."
"The governor continued to reiterate his commitment to funding education." Wilcox said. "But he said it's difficult when there's no money."
The visit was part of a concerted effort between Docking and Wilcox to visit all of the institutions under the Regents' supervision by the end of the year.
"The two of us are going to try to make all of them," said Docking, an Arkansas City banker. "There's no substitute to going to each one of the campuses."
After the conference with governance leaders, the two men walked down the hill to Malott Hall for a meeting with Robert Dunn, assistant professor of chemistry.
Wilcox and Docking watched Dunn closely as he explained the uses of a near-field scanning

Office of Study Abroad to have Australia panel
Students interested in studying in Australia can attend the Australia Information Night at 6 tonight at the Sentinel Room in the Kansas Union.
A panel of Australian students and KU students who studied in Australia will inform students about the best places to visit, travel tips and cultural differences, said Renee Bergene, study abroad coordinator.
This summer, the Office of Study Abroad created a new program in Australia with the University of Newcastle. Unlike other Australian study abroad programs, the Newcastle program does not limit the number of students.
Newcastle will give KU students a tuition discount, which makes the program more affordable than a direct-exchange program, Bergene said.

Female students report random phone threats
A series of harassing phone calls by an unidentified man were reported by 13 female KU students between 12:15 and 3:30 a.m. yesterday. Lt. Schulyer Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said that the victims, from seven different residence and scholarship halls, seemed to have been chosen at random and that none of them were able to recognize the voice.
Bailey said that all of the cases were still under investigation and that there were no suspects at the time.
"During the course of the man's conversation with each of the victims, he threatened to kill them," Bailey said.

Dialogue to address Hispanic stereotypes
Students will have the chance to participate in a diversity dialogue from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union.
The dialogue, called "The Invisible Minority: Hispanics Livin' La Vida Loca," will examine stereotypes about Hispanics.
The dialogue will begin with four KU students discussing their experiences. Then audience members will break into small groups.
Robert Rodriguez, Lawrence graduate student, said he looked forward to the dialogue.
He said some people were not aware of the diversity within the Latin American culture. Rodriguez, who is originally from California, said that many people in California assumed he had the same traditions as Mexican-Americans, even though his parents were from Argentina.

Ventura's ratings drop after Playboy comments
MINNEAPOLIS—Gov. Jesse Ventura's approval rating has plunged since a Playboy interview in which he called organized religion a sham and said the Tailhook scandal was overblown.

In the interview, the former professional wrestler and Navy Seal said organized religion was a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people. He

Gay victim's mother speaks against taunting
ATLANTA—The mother of Matthew Shepard, the gay college student beaten to death in Wyoming last year, is appearing in a public-awareness campaign intended to help reduce anti-gay taunting in public schools.
The television announcement featuring Judy Shepard was unveiled Sunday by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network. It begins airing this month on MTV.
Her son died Oct. 12, 1998, days after he was beaten unconscious and tied to a ranch fence outside Laramie, Wyo. Two men were accused of luring the 21-year-old student out of a bar, driving him to a remote prairie spot and then robbing and pistol-whipping him.
Russell A. Henderson, 21, was sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to murder and kidnapping. Aaron J. McKinney, 22, is scheduled to go on trial Oct. 11.
In the announcement, high school boys in a locker room shout anti-gay insults. Then Shepard says: "The next time you use words like these, think about what they really mean." A photo of her son flashes on the screen with the dates 1976-1998. Then the phrases "Murdered because he was gay" and "End Hate" are followed by a shot of Shepard with her head bowed.

Hitler-like political party takes second in election
VIENNA, Austria — A party whose leader once praised the Hitler era appears to have captured second place in Austrian national elections — the best-ever showing for any far right party in Europe since the end of World War II.
The Freedom Party's second-place showing — which could change with 200,000 absentee ballots still to be counted — leaves no party with an absolute majority. The election's final results will be announced next week.
According to Sunday's provisional results, the Freedom Party won 27 percent, 5 percent more than in the last election and the party's best showing since its founding in 1945.

Meningitis injects parents with fright

known and that the vaccine was poorly publicized on college campuses.
The American College Health Association recommends a Meningitis vaccine for college students, although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention do not. Rock said the cost of the vaccine was about $65, so an official recommendation from the CDC would not make economic sense.
Officials at Watkins have taken precautions, however.
Meningitis is one of the recommended vaccines on the health history form all students must fill out before coming to the University. The list also recommends a vaccination for hepatitis A and B, influenza, polio, tetanus and pneumonia.
Rock said he thought Watkins would be available to help concerned parents and students decide whether to spend the money for the vaccine.
"We believe that the best way to make good decisions is to have all the facts and make your decisions based on that," Rock said.
Meningitis is eight to 22 times more likely to be contracted by students living in a residence hall compared to other living arrangements, according to the 20/20 report. It is spread through saliva causing it to be more contractible at bars and parties where saliva may be spread through shared drinks or cigarettes.
When Meningitis bacteria enters the blood stream, deadly toxins can cause blood to clot, cutting off blood supply to crucial organs and limbs. It also can infect the lining of membranes surrounding the spinal cord and brain.
The disease starts with flu-like symptoms, so it often is misdiagnosed. The lack of blood flow to extremities may cause a victim's fingers and toes to blacken, and gangrene may develop. Treatment is crucial within the first 6-12 hours because the disease can kill within 24 hours.
Kansas also has joined about 100 other universities in a nationwide surveillance study of Meningitis to help discover what types of personal choices could increase the risk of auring the disease.
Rock said that despite the high price, students who were at a greater risk of contracting the disease should consider getting the vaccine.
Meningitis vaccines will be offered tonight at the Watkins seminar "Hit me with your best shot." At the presentation, Rock will talk about immunizations and Watkins' recommendations. Flu shots, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B and Tetanus vaccines also will be administered from 6 to 8:30 p.m. The seminar, which is part of Watkins "Focus on health" series, will be from 7 to 8 p.m. at the KU Visitors Center Auditorium.

Events pay tribute to victims of abuse
By Lesley Simmons writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The Clothesline Project and the "Remember My Name" reading gave pause to people walking down Massachusetts Street yesterday between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.
"Almost everyone who walked by at least turned their head to see what was going on," said Hilary Van Patten, Almena junior. Yesterday afternoon she read the names of people who had died as a result of domestic violence.
The reading and display were part of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
A display at the reading said,
"Remember their names, remember
the loss, remember and act."
"I think that hearing name after name for seven hours drives home the point that a lot of women and children die because of violence in the home," said Sarah Morrison, volunteer coordinator for Women's Transitional Care Services.
Van Patten said she thought the reading sent a powerful message.
"Giving the names of the women, men and children who have died as a result of domestic violence really personalizes the issue," she said. "These aren't just statistics, they're real people."
The list of names came from the National Coalition Against
Domestic Violence, and included unborn children.
Morrison said that last year the shelter provided a place to stay for about 300 women and children and received about 1,500 crisis calls.
Organizers said the Clothesline Project was intended to break the silence about domestic abuse. Survivors of domestic abuse could create a T-shirt that reflected their experiences. Friends or family also could decorate a shirt for a woman or child killed because of abuse.
The Lawrence branch of the Clothesline Project displays T-shirts made by women and children who have been battered or assaulted, been raped or sexually assaulted, who are survivors of incest or child sexual abuse, or who have been attacked because of their sexual orientation. The project also displays T-shirts made to remember those women and children who were killed.
About 40 of the Lawrence Clothesline Project's 117 shirts were displayed.
Jennifer McAdam, Kansas City,
Mo., senior, and Jessica Postier,
Kansas City junior, coordinated
the Clothesline Project.
The project also will be on display from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. Oct. 28 as part of the Womyn Take Back the Night march, rally and speakout.

"It was definitely a neat opportunity to get to hear their views, and it was great to see how interested they were in KU," said Reedy, a University scholar and member of the University Honors program. "Because they can be, obviously, fairly removed overseeing so many
institutions."
Docking and Wilcox left Nunemaker at 2:30 p.m., heading for another science demonstration with Ed Martinko, courtesy associate professor of geography and biological sciences.
"Even having worked here for 15 years, there's always parts of the campus and some of the people that I didn't know very well," said Wilcox, a former communications professor.
The two men finished the day on campus by attending the Kemper Fellows awards ceremony and reception, which ended at about 6:30 p.m.
All nine Regents will get a firsthand glimpse of the campus next week, when the board has its monthly meeting at the University next Wednesday and Thursday.

Dance troupe brings new form from Japan
By Emily Hughey

Kansan staff writer
Sankai Juku will dance, slowly into the Lied Center tonight.
butoh, a Japanese dance form, is the medium.
"They move very slowly sometimes, much slower than American audiences are used to," said Joan Stone, head of the University of Kansas department of dance. "Sankai Juku is a really different sense of time and people have to come prepared for a mythic sense of time, as in billions of years."
The Japanese Butoh dance company, Sankai kuki, will stop at KU to perform "Hiyomeki" or "within a gentle vibration and agitation." The performance begins at 8 tonight as part of the Lied Center's New Directions Series. Ushio Amagatsu, Sankaijuku's artistic director, is from Yokosuka City, Japan, and could not be interviewed without a translator.
Some said although other Butoh companies existed in places such as San Francisco, Sankai Juku was the most widely known Butoh troupe in the United States.
Stone said the Japanese dance. Butoh, was unlike anything most Americans had ever seen.
Butch, unlike traditional Japanese dances such as Kabuki or Noh, evolved from the emotion of post-World War II Japan. Invented to express the movements of the body rather than a theoretical meaning of movement, Stone said Butch reflected the trauma of the aftermath of war and transcended tangibility.
"Their movement is mythic," Stone said. "It's in the realm of myth, like the Earth turning and the clouds passing overhead and the stars at night and emotion.
"I think there is a sense of movement coming from catastrophe. They're serious, but they're also jovious."
In a traditional Sankai Juku performance, the dancers are clad in flowing sheaths from the waist down and covered up to their shaved heads in ghostly white chalk. Some performances involve suspended plastic platform disks and white baby rabbits in metal bowls. For tonight's show, the troupe will use 1,400 pounds of sand on stage. They use the props to accentuate the emotion of their movements.
"As an audience member, this is one you watch and experience," said Stone, who is requiring most of her students to attend the performance. "When you walk out, everything looks different."
Ramie Becker, Visalia, Calif., junior and dance student, said she was looking forward to seeing Sankai Juku perform. After reading a lot about Butoh, Becker said she was excited to see and feel the performance.
"I'm just really interested in what it looks like as a performance." Becker said. "I think this will be a very spiritual experience if you see it and understand it and let it affect you."
Tickets for Sankal Juku's "Hiyomeki" are $11 and $13.50 for students, and $22 and $27 for the public.

Rape victims should be able to sue attackers and recover damages
The Supreme Court will decide this winter whether rape victims have the right to sue their attackers in civil court. The case is complex and seeks to determine if Congress was acting within its authority when it enacted the Violence Against Women Act in 1994.
The general issue of suing people for rape needs to be addressed, though.
If the Supreme Court finds that this is not a federal issue that Congress has jurisdiction, each state should take it upon itself to create laws which allow rape lawsuits. Thirty-one states, including Kansas, already support the federal act.
Rape is a horrible crime that often results in a he-said, she-said scenario
The burden of proof is lower in civil trials. Perhaps more rape victims will report the crimes.
in criminal trials. With civil suits, where the burden of proof is lower than in criminal cases. Perhaps more rape victims will feel safe to report the crimes committed against them because they will be more likely to win the case. Of course, opening up the possibility of suing people for rape may result in some cases of false charges, but the possibility for creating more justice is worth the risk of innocent people being sued and found guilty.
People often complain about too
many frivolous law suits being brought to court, but civil suits can be a very effective form of justice, because of the stiff monetary penalties generally awarded to victims. It only makes sense that if a woman is raped, she should have the option of suing her attacker. After all, people can already sue others for some violent crimes, such as wrongful death suits. If we have determined that someone can be sued for homicide or manslaughter, why not rape and sexual assault?
A woman who is raped endures a severe violation of her privacy and must live with haunting memories for the rest of her life. A monetary sum seems like a low price her assailant should pay.

Merit pay for teachers is a good idea
Last week, Kansas Senate President Dick Bond, R-Overland Park, unveiled his school improvement plan, which included eliminating tenure for K-12 teachers. His proposal presented another solution to reward teachers: merit pay. Even though many teachers spend their whole career working for tenure, merit pay is a much better solution, as it purges, by a very fair process, teachers who are not fit to educate.
What the education system has done is detrimental to all Kansas students. Currently, K-12 teachers in Kansas are evaluated by how many years they have been teaching in their district instead of how well they educate. Therefore,
Ending tenure would purge unqualified teachers to ensure only the best are rehired
underqualified teachers that have tenure cannot be let go, and, as a result, the quality of education in the state of Kansas has been undermined.
It is about time that the Senate realizes that tenure is not an effective way to evaluate educators. Some teachers are staying in their jobs only because of tenure, and educating students actually is secondary to their interests. As a result, students may be ill-prepared when going to college and rank
lower in standardized testing and national college entrance exams.
The passing of this proposal would benefit everyone in the state of Kansas. Good teachers would be able to prove themselves based on ability instead of how long they have worked for a district. The education system overall would improve, as there would be competition among teachers, and only the best would have the option to stay. Students would have an equal opportunity to receive instruction from quality educators. The teachers' union already has spoken out against Bond's proposal. But if they were truly good educators, they wouldn't have anything to worry about.

Columnist says Kansan lacks substance, news
As a change of pace I would like to start by thanking some people. I'd like to thank everyone who has taken the time this semester to write to the Kansan and criticize them either for its trivial news coverage or its unsubstantiated editorial positions. I only wish that I would see more of it.
always-trivial 'hill topics' section that uses a full page of the paper not to explore any issues of substance in detail, but rather to talk about funny-looking cars or addictions to lip balm. And if that's not enough, we always can enjoy those front-page photos that visually depict how sunny or rainy it was one day — as if no one knew this.
Now I want to think that people are interested in things that are more important than the few examples that I have mentioned above. A few students already have taken that incredibly important first step to express their displeasure with the paper, and I would like to add my voice to theirs.
The Kansan, as the student paper for the University of Kansas — and perhaps the only paper that many students read — finds itself in a privileged position: Through its selection of news stories and their placement in the paper, the Kansan has the power to decide what is important to the students at the University.
Internationally, this country continues illegal embargoes against Cuba and Iraq, and nationally, many alternative political parties are running candidates for president. These are (to me) of some of the profoundly important things that I would like to see on the Kansan cover.
The Kansan is not a sacred institution that cannot be changed but rather is a product of the students of this campus. As students we need to demand that they actually provide material that is of interest to students, instead of working off of a set of base assumptions about what students (as if we were all alike) want to read about.
I've been told by some of the editors that the Kansan provides material that is of
interest to the student body, and while this is a common argument, I would like to suggest a new way of looking at our student paper. By relying on the judgment of a small group of students to decide what is of 'interest to students,' the Kansan does not provide material of interest; it tells us what material is of interest.
This is a case where your displeasure is easy to register and can have a meaningful effect on an important part of student life. Write letters to the editor whenever the paper uses fluff instead of substantive news, and let them know what you would really like to see covered in the news. With enough people registering complaints, perhaps the editors will reevaluate their methods of story selection and make the Kansan a more responsive instrument for students.
After all, this is our paper. It does not belong to any single group of individuals. Write to opinion@kansan.com, or visit www.kansan.com and register your complaints. In this way we can make our paper live up to its ideal of providing the news that is of interest to students.
This indeed is a very special privilege, and yet it also carries with it a high level of responsibility that the Kansan does not seem to want to accept. As the only voice of the student body, they have the responsibility of informing the student body of issues — campus, local, national and global — affecting their lives. This is a big responsibility, and many people are probably thinking at this point 'but they only have so much room in the paper, do you honestly think they have room for all these things?' Of course I do. Once you throw out the fluff and trivialities, I think that you'll find that there's plenty of room.
Major is a Deerfield, N.H., senior in sociology and American studies.
One only needs to look back a few weeks to when the power going out in Stauffer-Flint not only made the paper twice, but one day actually was a front-page story. Or how about the
Feedback
NASA's visior isn't narrow
This letter is in response to Erik Goodman's editorial "NASA should share its wealth to help mend problems on Earth." I believe that the editorial board ought to have done a bit more thinking before deciding on his article. NASA's loss of a $125 million probe will cause people to take notice, but it is a knee-jerk reaction to recommend cutting its budget in an attempt to remedy some of our more glaring societal lills. If throwing money at the problem is the solution (which is usually not the case), may I remind the editorial board of some of the enlightened spending in the US: $12.7 million for a Swine Research Center, $4.2 million in Wood Utilization Handicrafts, and $2 million for Outreach for Socially-Disadvantaged Farmers, to name a few. In 1998, NASA received $13.6 billion dollars from the government. In contrast, defense spending was almost $280 billion. In short, NASA's budget is not the panacea for social and political problems.
Erik writes, "The value of conquering space is rendered fairly empty when compared to the aforementioned problems," demonstrating a rather narrow vision of NASA's mission. NASA's mission to Mars is not so much a conquest as scientific research, exploration, and the expansion of human knowledge. If NASA's value is based on consumer goods like Velcro, then of course it will pale in comparison to hunger and homelessness.
The editorial board's decision to do just this belittles NASA and the intelligence of its readers.

Stripper photos were unnecessary
It was pretty disturbing to look at the paper this morning, being the Weekend Edition to find such a trashy photo on the front page of the Kansan. What are you students thinking when you put this out? Please think of your audience and the reflection of your school the Kansan is portraying. Are any of your parents coming to the game this Saturday? Will you be proud to show them this? What does a seedy strip bar have to do with the news at the
Thanks, KU Band
Rose Wagner Upward Bound
I think a lot should be said to the pep band who played last Saturday night's volleyball game. First of all I want to say that we have been to a lot of other college games and no one plays, sounds or dances like the KU Pep band we have here.
University of Kansas? And this is a repeat of a cover photo of last week of a male person flashing someone. Did you think about the possibility the person your article was about wanted just that, just to be noticed? Boy, did he get that from you. Is this news reporting or just a Jerry Springer attempt to sell papers?
We understand that the cheerleading squad will not be performing at the volleyball games and the band did great playing the songs to keep to crowd going and they entertained the crowd with their tuba marching and leap frogs that was great.
Lazer not important
Where are our priorities? I hope there were at least a few other folks who were sickened as much I was by the article on the Lazer T-shirts. In a world full of suffering, greed, genocide, and injustice the best cause the Templin Revolution can find to support is the "change the Lazer back" bandwagon? Give me a break! Why not support something locally that has some merit? Perhaps the Revolution might consider making and selling shirts to support Habitat for Humanity or Jubilee Cafe or any number of local humanitarian efforts. Is the Lazer such a big deal? How hollow are our lives that the worthiest cause we can find to support is the asinine programming of a radio station that wasn't that good to begin with? If the students at KU would expend as much energy as they have recently on this Lazer "issue" on problems with some substance then maybe they could actually make a real difference in someone's life, rather than engage in a meaningless assault on an empty social frivolity.
Pep Band, you're a big asset to these women's games and were glad that

you find yourselves getting so envolved in the games.
Story was offensive
I am disgusted. How could supposedly one of the best college newspapers in the country sink to this level? Obviously your reputation is little more than talk. The article that I'm referring to is that digusting piece that made the front page of the Kansan on 10/1/99.
Not only was the Outhouse article offensive to me as a woman, but it showed a total lack of respect for the parents and alumni that will be in town for homecoming. Do you really think that the alumni will be pleased when they pick up a paper to see what's going on in their old alma mater, only to be regaled with the plight of one of the blights on the community? Pictures of strippers? On the front page? Is this what constitutes as news in the perverse minds of the editors?
I am a graduating senior, and never have I been as ashamed to be a Javhawk as I am now.
Thanks so much for making my last year a memorable one.
Pictures should not have been printed
Meri Stoklosa Lawrence senior
I am writing you in response to the pictures displayed along with the article "The Outhouse Skinny" from the Kansan on October 1st. I am greatly outraged that these pictures were printed. It seems to me that they were unwarranted. The article was about the business and the opposition that it seemed to be getting from the police and local officials. The article never once mentioned a girl lap dancing. I'm outraged that in order to draw attention to the article you found it necessary to allow degrading pictures of women. It is unnecessary pictures like these that allow male pigs to continue to see women as mere objects. You could have written the article and gotten its information across just as nicely without printing the degrading pictures.

Lawrence ready for year 2000 woes
By Derek Prater

Kanson staff
The world is not coming to an end... probably.
Apocalypse or not, one still should make preparations for the turn of the century, said speakers at last night's public forum conducted by the Lawrence-Douglas County Y2K Community Information Task Force.
The forum featured speakers from the City of Lawrence, a technology company, the American Red Cross, the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University. A question and answer session followed the speeches, and more than 15 pamphlets and filers were available to provide information about the year 2000 computer glitch transition.
Jerry Manweiler, task force chairman and vice president and general manager of Fundamental Technologies, Inc., said that government agencies and other vital institutions generally were making
the right preparations for the year 2000.
"That doesn't mean you're not going to experience some personal effects of Y2K." Manweiler said.
"If you have a computer, there are tasks that you need to be doing right now," he said.
Hardware that was made before 1997 may not

have been programmed to make a smooth transition to the year 2000, Manweiler said.
Operating systems are another consideration. Manweller said,
All Macintosh operating systems are year 2000 compliant, but some older versions of Microsoft Windows were not originally written with possible computer glitches in mind.
Manweller said that people who used Windows '95, '98 or NT should go to the Microsoft Web site to find information on any updates they may need to make.
Most application software has Y2K issues as well. Manweiler said it was important to contact software manufacturers and find out what steps may need to be taken to keep software running properly.
KU representatives were on hand to provide updates on the University's preparedness for the year 2000.
Marilu Goodyear, vice chancellor for information services, said she thought the University was well-prepared.
"We expect to be able to be up and to be functioning," she said.
Goodyear said the administrative computer system was being replaced and the financial and payroll computer systems already had been replaced. She said KU employees could be sure they would be paid.
The University's official Web site at www.ukans.edu has added a link for more year 2000 information. The link provides information on what the year 2000 means to the University as well as links to other resources that can help evaluate home computer readiness.
Mike Richardson, director of facilities operations, said the department had worked to make sure the 180 buildings on campus were ready for the transition.
"We wanted to make sure that we continued to provide safe and secure buildings on campus," he said.
The University has spent $400,000 updating the energy management systems of buildings, he said.
John Mullens, assistant director of the KU Public Safety Office, said his department's main concern was keeping people safe on New Year's Eve.
"It will be a party," he said, "It will be a New Year's like no other New Year's."

University upgrades admissions system
Despite problems at other universities, new software steady
By Nathan Willis
writer@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
The first piece of a $2.3 million computer software system meant to eventually coordinate and streamline data throughout the University of Kansas was put into place yesterday.
The Office of Admissions and Scholarships switched to a program called PeopleSoft yesterday morning in order to better track recruiting prospects, admissions and scholarships. Administrators eventually plan to have the entire University using PeopleSoft.
1939 Tracker Insurance and Annuity Association College Retirement Equity Fund. NY, NY
Alan Cerveny, director of admissions and scholarships, said the new software allowed for
more personalized recruiting.
"Now we'll be able to act more like a small college," he said.
"When a recruit calls, we'll have all his information at our finger tips rather than having to transfer him to different places."
The system replaces five separate systems that the office used before. Cerveny said the previous system was designed in the early 1970s.
Records of 44,000 recruits were transferred into the system during the weekend, Cerveny said, and the first new recruit entered the system at 9 a.m. yesterday.
In conjunction with the PeopleSoft software, admissions soon will launch an online application that allows students to apply for admission to the University on the Internet, Cerveny said. The Office of Admissions already has converted to a single form that allows prospective students to apply for both admission and University scholarships, he says.
"Now we'll be able to act like a small college."

Cerveny said the new software also increased efficiencies in the admissions office. Previously, someone would enter all of a prospective student's information into the system when he or she applied for admission, even if the office already had most of the information, he said. Now, the unified system will eliminate the need to enter information more than once, he said.

time and on budget, he said.
That's in sharp contrast to the experience of many colleges and universities. The Chronicle of Higher Education reported Sept. 24 that the outney about problems with PeopleSoft was growing.
Ohio State University, for example, has been forced to spend $30 million more than it originally budgeted to complete the upgrades, according to the article.
Other universities have reported problems with the software, too, ranging from billing problems to grade-tracking problems, the Chronicle reported.
But Diana Carlin, interim assistant provost, said the system had passed all of the tests run on it last week, and Morrell said no major problems had been encountered on its first day of use.
So far, the project has been on
"In contrast with some other universities, it's been so far so good for us," he said.

Plastic-molded memories popular with collectors
By Brittaney Parbs
Special to the Kansan
Mike Meyers, Heather Graham, and Jay and Silent Bob have been in Lawrence for months. Janeane Garfofal and Ben Stiller will be here in a few weeks.
Recent interest in collectibles has brought these big-name actors to Lawrence in the form of dolls and figurines.
Comic Market, 938 Massachusetts St., offers hundreds of television and film-inspired figures, ranging from Xena, Warrior Princess, to the ever-popular Star Wars characters.
STAR WARS
"Now, there are a lot more kids, and even the average 18- to 24-year-old, collecting the toys," said D.J. Gabel, Comic Market employee. "Now that the studios have the market for the thing, they might as well get as much money out of it as they can."
The majority of Comic Market's revenue comes from collectors between the ages of 18 and 24. Some collect the dolls as a hobby, but others invest in them to make money. The most profitable figures right now are those in the Star Wars line, Gabel said.
"You buy that figure for $7, you can turn around and sell it for anywhere from $100 to $1,000, if you get the right toy," Gabel said.
Luke, Chewbacca, and C-3PO are three of the several original *Star Wars* figures at Comic Market, 938 Massachusetts St. The store offers a variety of collectible dolls. Photo by Jamie Roper/KANSAN
Sometimes, manufacturers make too few of the most popular figures or print errors on the packaging. These errors can boost the price of figures.
Even though an average Star Wars figure sells in the stores for $6 or $7, collectors can sell some figures back to other collectors to make a profit.
"My main goal for this is to preserve memories of the old shows as well as the potential for later resale," Merritt said. "Or, if I have kids, they will inherit, and hopefully take care of, my set for their future monetary well-being."
Phillip Merritt, a 23-year-old Lawrence resident, collects Star Wars figures and also hopes to establish a collection of '80s television characters.
The best-selling toys seem to be those that most resemble the persons or characters from which they are modeled. Some manufacturers have better molding techniques than other, and collectors have taken notice.
"When the X-Files dolls first came out, they sold really well," Gable said. "Then people started actually looking at the dolls' faces and realized that they looked nothing like the actors, and the dolls quickly stopped selling."
On the other hand, the Austin Powers line is still extremely popular because of its realistic look, he said.
Manufacturers are paying more attention to marketing and are designing more for the 18- to 24-year-old age group now. Even packaging has changed because of the doll-collecting craze Manufacturers design the packages as display cases. The dolls remain unopened so that, in mint condition, they could be worth more money in the future.
Anna Martin, St. Louis junior, has seen the various figures in Comic Market and thinks the idea of adults collecting dolls is crazy.
"I honestly can't see why someone would buy a doll for hundreds of dollars, and then not play with it," she said. "I think that these manufacturers are trying to produce instant nostalgia with these toys. You can't mold memories out of plastic."

Golf no longer a snoozing aid for TV junkie
when I was 14 years old, my Grandpa bought me a set of golf clubs.
I had spent the better part of my youth hitting an assortment of balls — tennis balls, baseballs, raquetballs and the occasional Wiffle ball.
But for some reason, I just couldn't hit that little white golf ball.
Lots of my friends played golf, and they were all good. But not me. Even on the simplest course. I couldn't make a single par.
I soon learned that I didn't have the temperament to continue trying to learn the game (golf clubs being expensive and surprisingly easy to break against a tree).
So golf and I parted ways, never to meet again, or so I thought.
No, I haven't decided to buy another set of clubs and give my golf swing another try.
My situation is much more curious.
I'm a TV golf player.
I'm a TV golf junkie.
Derek
It started innocently enough. On a weekend afternoon several years ago while I was half-dozing on the
Prater sports columnist sports@kansan.com
couch, I turned to a random golf tournament because nothing else was on TV.
A slight breeze was blowing through my window, and the announcers' soft and rhythmic voices soon had me napping away.
Some people like to listen to tapes of ocean sounds or jazz when they nap — I listened to golf.
No more nap time. I can't get enough of the sport that previously had made me either angry or sleepy.
What was it that woke me from my slumber and soured my interest in golf?
But then a funny thing happened. I actually started watching golf while I was watching golf.
But it's more than just Tiger and his aggressive game and intriguing personality. In fact, I'm more a fan of the announcers than the players.
The obvious answer would be Tigernania, and I'd be lying if I said that the beginning of my golf jones didn't roughly correlate with Tiger winning the last of his three U.S. Amateur titles.
I like the way they deconstruct each shot and every play. The minutia of detail behind the game makes it come alive.
Johnny Miller is by far my favorite golf announcer. He's eloquent, intelligent and, most importantly, candid — sometimes to the point of cruelty.

attered with the wind.
I loved it the first time I heard a golfer scream at his ball like he was training a dog. "Sit. Come on baby, SIT!"
My favorite was when I was caddying for a friend of mine, and he cajoled an approach shot. "Snuggle, baby, snuggle."
That used to be what I did to a pillow when golf was on TV.
Now I revel in the intricacies and the goofiness of this great game.

Plenty of good seats still available
By Mike Miller
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas' 27-9 win Saturday against Southern Methodist had a little bit of everything — big hits, big plays and a come-from-behind win — but there weren't many fans at Memorial Stadium to enjoy it.
Only 24,700 fans attended Saturday's game, filling less than half of the stadium's 50,250 capacity. The lack of interest could be attributed to the 48-degree temperature and dreary weather, but it was curious given the game's importance.
Favored to win, the Jayhawks played a winless team and were trying to end a two-game losing streak. Coach Terry Allen called the homecoming game a must-win.
Fan support looked to be at a premium. Instead, it was the lowest attendance for a homecoming game since 1988 when the Javhawks finished the season 1-10.
"At least there were some people there," defensive Dion Rayford said.
"At first there wasn't anybody there, then it helped a little bit to see more and more faces."
Rayford thought the rest of the fans must be good-weather fans.
Some of the die-hard fans, such as the students who are members of the H.A.W.K., Helping Athletics Win Kansas, club, usually attend home games in droves. It had 120 members at Kansas' first game and 100 at the San Diego State game, but only 60 attended Saturday's game.
"I think the weather kept a lot of people
away in general," said Michael Henry, H.A.W.K. Club president. "And to a certain extent, winning brings people out."
The cold weather and the Jayhawks' 13 record entering the game might be the biggest reasons why the fans stayed away, but Allen was grateful to those who did attend.
"We knew the people here today were our real fans." he said.
A variety of injuries have decimated Kansas' skill positions. Running back David Winbush, who bruised the medial collateral ligament in his left knee, is questionable for Saturday's game against Kansas State. Back-ups Mitch Bowles, who injured his right knee last Saturday, and Henri Childs, who left the game with turf toe, are probable.
Wide receiver Termaine Fulton, who has missed three games with a high ankle sprain will practice this week, but is questionable for Saturday. Wide-out Eric Patterson, who did play Saturday because of an ankle sprain, is probable for Saturday, but Kansas is still waiting on medical clearance for wide receiver Byron Gasaway, who broke his jaw during the preseason. Allen said that if Gasaway could not play Saturday, he would probably be listed as a redshirt this season.
Tight end Jason Gulley, who is recovering from knee surgery, is probable for Saturday's game, as are defensive backs Chad Coellner and Andrew Davison, both of whom injured their groins.

Kansas strong in one tournament, last in one
By Melinda Weaver sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
It was a tale of two tournaments as Kansas men's tennis fielded teams at Tulsa and Stanford this weekend.
At the seventh annual Hurricane Invitational in Tulsa, Okla., Kansas won 11 of 25 matches as coach Mark Riley used the tournament to experiment with the positions in which his players competed.
"I played different doubles teams every day." Riley said. "I
On the first day of the tournament, Kansas started slow, winning only two of eight matches against Arkansas.
was just trying to see who could work well together."
Against Southern Methodist on Saturday, things went much better. Kansas won its first doubles matches and also built on a strong first-day performance in Flight B matches.
In Sunday's final round, Kansas won only four of nine against Oklahoma State, but Flight B continued to play well.
"Overall, I was pleased with
the effort." Riley said.
Kansas did not gel with the new
At Stanford, the story was much different.
Rodrigo Echagaray, Alex Barragan, Julia Sidorova and Brooke Chiller competed with 16 teams in the inaugural coed college tennis championship, which had a different format than standard college tournaments.
Matches were played in one set to six points for women's singles and doubles, men's singles and doubles and mixed doubles. The points were combined for the team score.
format, losing to second-seeded Mississippi in the first round 30-13. In the consolation rounds, Kansas lost to Arizona State 30-21, California 28-17 and Illinois 23-22 and finished in last place.
"I felt that we were just as good as any team there, if not better, even if the results didn't reflect that," said assistant coach Ross Nwachukwu. "It was a combination of starting slow and not finishing the way we should have. If we create an early deficit, it is hard to come back from."

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is an 8.
Enjoy this marvelous day while you can. Don't procrastinate. Watch for opportunities to advance your agenda. Make as much progress as you can now. The wind blows you in the direction you want to go. Don't forget to steer, however.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
Congratulations. You're through the worst. There's still more to be done, but you should be able to arrange a break. Something you've dreamed about is still out of reach, but it's starting to look possible. That's a big improvement.
Gemini: Today is a 7.
You're an outspoken person, most of the time. Today, it might be wise to put a lid on that. You can express your concern by listening, rather than by trying to solve a friend's problem, for example. He or she will be more content if you let that happen.
Cancer: Today is a 7
Conditions change in your favor, slightly. A recent worry may resolve itself without more effort on your part. Hold off on making changes until you've thought about them a little longer. Tomorrow or the next day should be soon enough
Leo: Today is a 7.
Hopes and dreams are one thing, and reality is quite often something else. You hate that, especially with your own hopes and dreams. You want them to happen immediately. Sometimes you get that kind of response to your requests, but probably not today.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
You're getting stronger and more decisive. You could decide you're not going to be pushed around any more, too. That decision will be more effective with your coworkers than with the general public. Don't try to argue with traffic.
Libra: Today is a 7.
A bright morning could devolve into a rather difficult afternoon. Tensions mount as you realize you don't have as much time as you thought.
Don't complain. That could be seen as a sign of weakness. Besides, you don't have enough time.
Just get the job done quickly.
Sagittarius: Today is a 6.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
O
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
A person who's been watching you like a hawk is about to become interested in something or somebody else. You've been waiting for this chance to break free.Meet with a friend to discuss what you've been through and what you plan to do next.

LIVE
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
You may have to put a lid on your enthusiasm. There's a certain routine you need to follow in order to achieve your goals. Rules and regulations can be annoying, but it sure helps to know what they are. Watch out for hidden agendas, too.
Pisces: Today is an 8.
You're in the mood for love, and it's a feeling that's hard to dispel. There may be work to do or people to impress. You don't even care. Well, don't worry. You'll probably get everything done anyway, and you look marvelous.
You're going through a good phase, but some of the details could get rather difficult. Luckily, you're intelligent and naturally thorough. If and when you you're discussing a hot topic, discretion is advised.

You and your partner need to make a decision, and that's not always easy. You may have to agree to disagree on one point, but hopefully, it's a theoretical one. You can reach a compromise on the real stuff.

Kansas prospects have yet to decide
MEN'S BASKETBALL
Recruiting prospects Travon Bryant and DeShawn Stevenson, who will be in Lawrence to attend Late Night with Roy Williams Oct. 15, said they would wait until the spring signing period to commit to a school, and 6-foot-11 center Jared Reiner of Tripp, S.D., said that he would decide in November.
According to Reiner's coach Dan Sabers, Kansas and Iowa were the favorites, but Utah also is high on Reiner's list. He already has visited Iowa and will visit Utah on Oct. 23 and Kansas on Oct. 30.

The university had expected to hear from the NCAA yesterday on whether the men's basketball program had violated recruiting rules. But no such ruling was issued from the college sports governing organization, and NCAA spokeswoman Jane Jankowski said there was no
specific time set for one.
Decision on Missouri violations delayed
Calls to the university's sports information department yesterday were not immediately returned.
Missouri athletics director Mike Alden notified the NCAA last Friday that the university might have violated recruiting rules by allowing the mothers of Detroit basketball prospects Rickey Paulding and Arthur Johnson to join their sons on a chartered plane to Columbia, Mo.
Both Paulding and Johnson's mothers paid the university between $200 and $300 each for their tickets prior to flying from Detroit to Columbia Regional Airport Sept. 17 and returning Sept. 19, Alden said. He said the university believed the NCAA rules allowed a prospect to be accompanied on a noncommercial flight if the extra party paid fair market value for the ticket.
NCAA officials have said that rules suggest that fair-market value payment only applied to commercial flights, and that other passengers were not legal on chartered flights.

Cyclones gain statistic superiority despite bye
DE MOINES, Iowa — Iowa State's football team had quite a weekend.
The Cyclones regained the national lead in rushing. Darren Davis moved into the individual lead and Iowa State received two votes in The Associated Press poll.
"And we didn't even play a down." coach Dan McCarmey said yesterday.
True. Iowa State had the weekend off so its statistics stayed the same. In the meantime, Air Force slipped behind Iowa State in rushing after beating San Diego State 29-22, and Oregon's Ken Simonton dropped behind Davis on the individual board.
Staying on top after next weekend will take some doing, however, because the Cyclones play at No. 4 Nebraska on Saturday.

Terrell Davis' injury ends his season
The Associated Press
DENVER — Terrell Davis, the NFL's MVP last year, will miss the rest of the season because of a knee injury, a devastating blow to a championship team already reeling from four straight losses.
The Denver Broncos' running back tore ligaments and cartilage in his right knee while making a tackle Sunday during the first quarter of a 21-13 loss to the New York Jets.
Davis is expected to be out four to six months and make a full recovery.
"I talked to him and he's in as good as spirits as he could possibly be in," coach Mike Shanahan said yesterday. "He's working through it right now."
"Right now, with the ACL and the advancements they've made in technology, you never know for sure," Shanahan said.
The coach said Derek Loville would start in place of Davis. This was the third season he has backed up Davis.
Shanahan, whose winless team is clearly diminished by the retirement of John Elway, also will review his quarterbacks. Brian Griese, who replaced Bubby Brister during preseason, threw three interceptions Sunday. Brister entered late in the fourth quarter and threw two interceptions.
Davis, who led the NFL in rushing last season with 2,008 yards, has been off to a slow start. He was hurt during an interception return by Jets safety Victor Green.
Broncos offensive tackle Matt Lepsis made a diving tackle to curdown Green at the sideline, but Lepsis also caught Davis, trailing the play slightly, on his right knee.
Davis was assisted by trainers on the sideline, then limped to the locker room. He did not return.
After Davis' departure, the Broncos scored only a field goal. Davis rushed for 18 yards on eight carries. For the season, he had 211 yards.
Mets to play Arizona after beating Reds
The Associated Press
CINCINNATI — Once they finally figured out how to hold a lead against the Reds, the New York Mets put themselves in the postseason for the first time since 1988.
Al Leiter pitched a two-hitter, and Edgardo Alfonzo homed on the sixth pitch as the Mets held firm last night, beating Cincinnati 5-0 in onegame playoff for the NL wild-card spot.
Baseball's final postseason spot came down to the one-game playoff for the second straight year because the Mets couldn't put away the Reds, losing seven in a row after opening a four-game lead on Sept. 19.
The Mets will now travel to Arizona to open the best-of-5 first round tonight against Arizona Diamondbacks ace Randy Johnson. The win meant New York manager Bobby Valentine's first trip to the playoffs, and it put the Mets and Yankees in the postseason together for the first time — the Yankees take on Texas in the AL.
rne Mets' victory also settled the other NL series. It will place Houston at Atlanta in Game 1 tonight.
Leiter (13-12), who ended the Mets' horrific slump just in time by beating
Atlanta last Wednesday, made sure their lead against the Reds would never be leopardized.
In his most important start since Game 7 of the 1997 World Series for Florida, the left-hander pitched his first complete game of the year. He did not allow a runner past first base until Pokey Reese doubled to start the ninth. Jeffrey Hammonds singled in the second for the Reds' other hit.
Leiter struck out seven, walked four and retired 13 consecutive batters during one stretch, giving the Reds no opening for another magical comeback.

Big 12 basketball coaches travel to promote conference
By Brandon Kristal
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
With basketball season just around corner, the Big 12 Conference is spreading its name around the country.
Vesterday. Kansas men's basketball
Yesterday, Kansas coach Roy Williams was in Los Angeles with Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson and Colorado coach Ricardo Patton.
Texas Tech women's coach Marsha Sharp and Iowa State women's coach, Bill Fenneley, also were also in Los Angeles yesterday. The coaches toured the Fox Sports Network center in Culver City, Calif., and met West Coast sportswriters.
PETER PAPER
Williams: Promoted the Big 12 in Los Angeles
"Promoting the Big 12 Conference is something we really stress at the Big 12 coach's meetings each year," Williams said. "That's what this trip is all about, promoting the league."
Williams said his trip to Los Angeles
was not a vacation, but a working trip.
was not a vacation, but a working trip.
"We'll be busy the entire time," he said.
"I'll have to leave an event at Fox Sports to go to an event at ESPN."
williams taped an interview for Up Close with Gary Miller that will air on ESPN in October. Williams and Sampson also taped interviews with Jim Rome for Fox Sports' The Last Word.
Last week, the Big 12 took coaches to Bristol, Conn., to meet with people at ESPN. Three men's coaches, Rick Barnes of Texas, Eddie Sutton of Oklahoma State and Melvin Watkins of Texas A&M, joined Oklahoma women's coach Sherri Coale and Nebraska women's coach Paul Sandford in Bristol.
The coaches met with 10 ESPN staff members, mostly on the production side, but ESPN television analyst Jay Bilas was with the coaches for most of the day. ESPN put together a presentation on the history of the network and the Big 12's role, especially with regards to basketball, in the network. The coaches also toured the nine buildings of the ESPN compound.
"It was exactly what we wanted to do, promote the conference heading into basketball season," said Chris Theisen. Big 12 assistant media relations director in charge of men's basketball.
"It was exactly what we wanted to do, promote the conference heading into basketball season."
Chris Theisen assistant media relations director
ESPN put the coaches in a chat room on the Internet, and they received 300 questions in 30 minutes.
"The coaches benefited from the opportunity to put a name with a face." Theisen said. "Being in the Midwest we try to reach as many people as we can. That way, later in the season when teams are doing well, and receiving a lot of calls, they (the coaches) can put a face with a name."
The Big 12 did not send any coaches to tour the networks last year, but they did in 1986 and '97, the first two years of the league.
According to Theisen, ESPN said that no other conference made the effort to reach the networks and publicize its coaches and players like the Big 12.

Kansas students, get ready for October Madness.
Now that the regular season is through, Kansas intramurals are ready to begin tournament play. While they aren't quite as competitive as the NCAA tournament, they do have the potential for some intensity.
Tom Nienke, recreation services program assistant, said that the flag football tournament originally had been set to begin last Friday, but because of rain, the start was moved to today. He said that because of the large number of teams in the men's open and Greek divisions, it would take five consecutive victories for teams to win each tournament.
for some reason Joe Lomberg, Dodge City sophomore and member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity's No. 1 team, said that the competitors in the flag football tournament should be tough.
"It's a pretty big deal for us," he said. "We expect to do pretty well and hopefully get some bragging rights. We take it pretty seriously."
"That's quite a few games to win without losing," said Nienko, referring to the single-elimination format. He said that the high number of teams would cause the tournament to last about two weeks, and that he hoped it would end Oct. 17.
Saal said he hoped the soccer tournament would not have to be postponed.
kevin Saal, recreation services program assistant, said that today was the last day of regular season soccer games. He said the tournament schedule could be posted by noon Thursday with play beginning Friday.
"It just depends on the weather and how good the field conditions are," he said.
"If you lose once, you're out," he said. "There are a lot of strong teams. Quite a few of them went 3-0 in the regular season."
Recreation services also is sponsoring a bowling tournament on Thursday, Oct. 28. Entries will be accepted Monday for the one-day event at the Jaybowl. Nienke said participants paid $4 for four games of bowling and shoe rental. Students interested in signing up should stop by the recreational services office at 208 Robinson or call 684-3546.
Flutie, Buffalo Bills step on Miami Dolphins
Edited by Jamie Knodel
MIAMI — The Buffalo Bills' defense did all the stomping last night against the Miami Dolbins.
Buffalo harried Dan Marino into three turnovers and scored on Gabe Northern's 59-yard fumble return to beat Miami 23-18.
The victory avenged the Bills' 24-17 loss at Miami in last season's playoffs. After that game, Dolphins coach Jimmy Johnson celebrated in the locker room by stomping on a box of Flutie Flakes, the cereal marketed by Bills quarterback Doug Flutie.
Linebacker John Holecek led the defensive charge by the Bills (3-1), while the loss by the Dolphins (2-1) left the NFL with three undefeated teams. The Bills had lost five consecutive games in Miami.
Marino, the first touchdown allowed by the Bills' defense in 13 quarters.
After Buffalo took a 23-12 lead on Steve Christie's third field goal with 6:56 left, Miami's Brock Marion returned the ensuing kickoff 93 yards to the 4. O.J. McDuffie then caught a 9-yard touchdown pass from
The Dolphins got the ball back with 2:59 to go, but Marino threw four consecutive incomplems from the Miami 43. He fined field goals before the Bills' defense broke a f-g the late in the first half.
251 yards with two interceptions and two sacks, his first of the year.
Flutie went 12-
for 25; for 186
yards and added
29 yards rushing.
BENGALS
Okee & Okee came through free on a blitz and blinded Marino to jar the ball loose. Northern scooped it up, escaped the grasp of Miami's Cecil Collins and then ran untouched 59 yards for a touchdown.
Holecke returned an interception of Marino 35 yards to set up Christie's final field goal, a 31-yarder. He also hit from 26 and 52 yards.
The Dolphins closed to 13-12 early in the fourth quarter, but Buffalo responded with an 80-yard touchdown drive. Flutie hit Eric Moulds for 40 yards, then hit him again for the 6-yard score and a 20-12 lead.
The Dolphins' first score came after Flutie fumbled a snap and Miami's Shawn Wooden recovered at the Buffalo 41. Four plays later, Olindo Mare kicked a 30-yard goal.
The Dolphins drove 74 yards in the final 1:41 of the first half but settled for a 26-yard field goal by Mare. They marched 65 yards in the third quarter, but after McDuffie dropped a potential touchdown pass, Mare kicked another 26-varder.

World champions draw comparisons to last year's team
Douglas County AIDS Project
NEW YORK — Not matching last year's record-setting team in the regular season was expected for the New York Yankees. Not doing it in the postseason is a totally different matter.

isons to the 1998 squad that won an AL-corridor 114 games and went on to sweep the World Series. Tonight, when the Yankees come in.
"There were times this year when we let down a bit," pitcher David Cone said. "This is the time we have to step it up. The fact is, we did rise to the occasion when we had to."
The Yankees had won 27 of 35 overall meetings between the two

They brought one of the best offenses in the game to the playoffs and ended up just one run and hit
Overall, New York has won six straight playoff games against Texas since losing the opener of
their series in 1996.
It's important for us not to get caught up in the past few series or the last three or four years," manager Johnny Oates said. "We're trying to talk about our guys focusing on the opportunity as opposed to the obstacle. Sometimes you start looking at the obstacle, and it becomes too big to overcome."
Shutting down the Texas offense won't be as easy this season. The Rangers had four players with at least 100 RBI, six with at least 20 homers, and lead the league with a .293 average.
Cleveland, Boston set to battle in AL playoff
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — They brawled earlier this season, and recently, one accused the other of cheating.

For the third time in five years, Boston and Cleveland are playing
The Red Sox will start Pedro Martinez (23-4), baseball's most dominant player this year, in Game 1 against the Indians, who are expected to counter with their ace, Bartolo Colon (18-5). Game 2 will be Thursday.
The series seems too close to call.
As Cleveland coasted into O Boston was driving hard to secure the wild-card berth and make a run at AL East champ New York.
"Ilike Boston as a sleeper," said Toronto's David Wells, who beat the Indians. "They got Pedro, Pedro's the man this year."

RED SOX
Maybe it's Cleveland's year, too.
Even the prospect of facing Pedro
partizne twice in five games doesn't seem to concern the Indians.
"If we could win three straight that would be great, but that's going to be real hard," Indians catcher Sandy Alomar said. "Game
one is always important. If you can knock out their pitcher right away, that's good."

Sierra Club rates states on urban sprawl
Maryland leads way for safeguarding its undeveloped areas
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—Spurred by people fed up with clogged highways and dirty air, many states are coming up with innovative programs to ease urban sprawl, a national environmental group said yesterday. Maryland, Rhode Island, Vermont and Oregon got high marks.
Kansas City, MO., was fifth on the Sierra Club's list of cities most threatened by urban sprawl. Atlanta, St.
Louis, Washington and Cincinnati also made the most threatened cities list.
The study was only the latest in string of recent surveys on the loss of open space in urban areas and was distributed as Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt urged Congress to move more aggressively to allocate $800 million for buying parkland and open spaces.
Congress historically has come up with only about a third of the $900 million that federal law provides. Numerous bills in both the House and Senate would guarantee the full $900 million from revenue collected from offshore oil and gas drilling.
In the Interior Department budget
for the fiscal year that began last Friday, Congress came up with less than $300 million for state and federal land purchases under the conservation program. That's a little more than one-third of the Clinton administration's request.
The Sierra Club report, called "Solving Sprawl," ranked the states in four categories where governments tried to keep residents living closer to their jobs to avoid the pollution and gridlock of suburbs.
Buying land around cities, improving mass transit, limiting development of green spaces and revitalizing urban centers were the subjects graded.
Half of the states have acted to pro
tect farms, and 20 have easement programs to prevent development of agricultural land, the Sierra Club said.
Alvin's
Maryland rated tops for protecting open space, with $140 million earmarked to buy rural land in the next five years. Under programs implemented since 1969, the state already protected 300,000 acres of farmland and other undeveloped areas.
A highway advocacy group denounced the report for encouraging policies that would restrict growth, increase housing prices and result in apartment-style housing. The Road Information Program In Washington wants a blend of more roads, more efficient mass transit and better traffic signals.

THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
'Mirror, mirror on the wall...'
Illustration by Kyle Ramsey/KANSAN

Kansan staff writer
The cover of every major beauty magazine this month features a woman that has looks that for most are unattainable. Only a handful of women in the world can compare to their tall frames, toned curves and flawless features, but the models' images set the standard for the world's expectations of female beauty, women and experts say.
Christine Rogers, a psychological intern at Counseling and Psychological Services, gave a presentation titled, "Does the shape of your body shape your life?" last night at the International Room in the Kansas Union. About 20 women attended and discussed the causes and effects of poor body image.
The women targeted the media as well as family, friend marketers and men for poor body image.
"Themediahmindshave tourements," Park juni
Women's images of their bodies need not reflect perfection, experts say
Ann Chapman, Watkins Memorial
Health Center dietitian, agreed.
"No wonder our heads are screwed up," she said.
Studies show that the majority of women have negative body images.
The Eating Disorder Awareness Program, based in Seattle, found that 80 percent of 17-year-olds at a healthy weight perceived themselves as fat.
It's no wonder, Chapman said, considering that the average model is 5 feet 7 inches, weighs 100 pounds and is a size 8. But according to experts, the average woman is 5 feet 4-inches, weighs 140 pounds and wears a size 14.
"I think we need to be realistic about our standards, not comparing your body to a Barbie-doll type." Chapman said.
Problems with body image can affect women in many ways. In his Human Sexuality class, Dennis Dailey, professor of social welfare, discusses how body image affects a person's sexuality.
"The large bulk of women live uncomfortably inside of their bodies," Dailey said. "They can stand naked in front of a mirror, and they're more likely to say, 'There's something wrong with my nose,' or 'My breasts are too small,' or 'I've got this pouch on my stomach,' or 'Do I really need all this extra stuff on my thighs?'
Dailey said that although men were easy to target for causing poor body image, women just as easily could enforce it.
"Some of the most hurtful, vulgar, nasty
things I have heard said about a woman and how she may look, for example, have been said by other women." he said.
Chapman agreed that women reinforced poor body image by always emphasizing one another's physical attributes.
"What you really value about that friend you're talking to isn't her thin waist, and you know that," she said. "Focus on the inner quality of others, and just get more focused on what's really important about people, not the material possessions we wear and the body we can't control."
Experts say poor body image can develop into eating disorders, abuse of diet drugs and avoidance of some social situations, such as those that require a bathing suit.
Rogers said that attempting to reach an unattainable body shape could lead to illness and a lack of energy.
"Sometimes in this society there's this idea conveyed that we'd almost rather be sick and look this way than be healthy and fit the ideal," she said.
Dailey said that body image concerns were not limited to women. But because men often have other resources, such as power and high-ranking jobs to take off the edge, men's experiences are not the same, he said.
"There's no question that men struggle with their appearance," Dailey said. "But in general terms, I don't think they struggle as broadly or deeply."

Senate bill may petition University for amended course-retake policy
By Chris Borniger
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students with a less-than-ideal grade in a class could get the chance to wipe their academic slates clean or at least touch them up.
Student Senate committees will consider a bill tonight that would petition the University Senate to add a course-retake policy to the University Senate rules and regulations. As the code stands, students who retake classes have their new grades averaged with their original ones.
The petition calls for a new policy by which the new grade will be allowed to stand as it is, thus not affecting the student's grade point average.
Dede Seibel, student body vice president, is one of the bill's 11 sponsors. She said a retake policy, part of her and Student Body President Korb Maxwell's campaign platform, would benefit students who encountered classes that were especially difficult for them.
"You could argue that students would be buying their way to a better grade," she said. "But we're creating an incentive to master that part of the class in which they may not have had a chance in the first place."
The policy, if implemented, would apply only to undergraduate students who wish to repeat a class taken at the University of Kansas in which they received a
Seibel said such policies were a growing trend. She said the University of Colorado also was considering one.
"Most students didn't realize that we had the policy we do now," she said. "This actually originated out of student concern."
D or F. Students could choose to utilize this policy for up to five classes, not exceeding 15 credit hours.
Although the first grade would not affect the student's GPA, it would remain on transcripts.
Should it pass at committees tonight and at full Senate next week, it will face a long road to implementation. Senate would refer the bill to the Academic Procedures and Policy subcommittee of the Senate Executive committee. It then has to go through the University Senate Executive Committee, University Council and University Senate before going to Chancellor Robert Henemway.
（USPS 650-640）
"I think it is appropriate for us to give some latitude to people who have disastrous semesters early on in their college careers," he said. "I expect it to be controversial."
Jim Carothers, SenEx chairman, said if the petition passed, it would be only after lengthy review.
The University affairs committee will meet at 6 tonight at the Big 12 room; the multicultural affairs committee at the International Room; and the graduate affairs committee at the Pine Room, all in the Kansas Union. The finance committee will meet at the Walnut Room, and the student rights committee will meet at the Jayhawk Room, both at 6:30 p.m.

Evolution advocate to discuss millennium
By Todd Halstead writer @kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Fliers littering pegboards throughout the University of Kansas campus showing a mustached man in deep reflection may enice students to attend a speech by Stephen Jay Gould. Though he will be speaking about the millennium, another relevant topic about which Gould has strong opinions could find its way to the platform.
Not surprisingly, as the president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Gould objects to the State Board of Education's new science standards.
But who is the man taking the

past 25 years and has lent his talents to the pop icon TV show, The Simpsons.
He is giving a lecture tonight entitled "Questioning the Millennium: Why We Cannot Predict the Future," at 8 p.m. at the Lied Center.
Gould is one of four guest lecturers appearing throughout the year as part of The Hall Center's millennium series.
Janet Crow, executive director of The Hall Center for the Humanities, said that Gould was selected to speak because he recently published a book about the millennium, "Questioning the Millennium."
Alan Hanson, professor of humanities and anthropology, said the book covered the repercussions and meaning of the the millennium, including why round-numbered dates represent seams in time and how a religious-oriented judgment of time has transcended boundaries into the realm of the secular.
Crow said it was rare to get speakers of Gould's magnitude to come to the University.
"It's created a lot of excitement on campus," Crow said. "People are looking forward to what he has to say."

When the expansion of Joseph R. Pearson Hall is complete, some students who park in lot 50 behind the hall may have to find a new place to park.
The University of Kansas parking board met for the first time this semester yesterday to discuss this and other parking issues that would be arise for the board this year.
Donna Hultine, assistant parking director, said that with 157 faculty and staff from the School of Education moving into Joseph R. Pearson Hall in the summer of 2000, there would be a need for additional faculty and staff parking $f$ the area.

Hall, and we are looking at possibly changing some of the spaces behind Joseph R. Pearson Hall to accommodate the additional faculty and staff." Hultine said. "In
addition, the board will look into adding spaces by paving the gravel lot behind Memorial Stadium once the stadium construction is complete, which should add between 50 and 60 spaces."
Don Kearns, parking director, has asked that a special subcommittee of five members be formed, made up of students, faculty and staff, to look into what the distribution of the spaces behind Joseph R. Pearson Hall should be once the construction is complete. This subcommittee will report its findings back to the board, which will decide the final split. Hultine said.
Christie Bertels, Olae senior and president of Chi Omega sorority, said that some women in her chapter bought yellow parking passes to park in the Joseph R. Pearson Hall lot because there was not enough

The situation behind Joseph R. Pearson Hall isn't the only parking problem the board looked at yesterday.
"I never like to lose parking spaces, and if after studying the proposal the board decides to remove the spaces, we will have to make sure they have somewhere else to
Hultine said that Provost David Shulenburger has asked the parking board to look into removing all 110 parking spaces on Jayhawk Boulevard. Kearns said at the meeting that he did not know when the removal of spaces might take place, if it is found to be feasible.
Hultine said that the new parking garage with its 500 metered and 300 permit spaces would help alleviate the parking congestion if parking were removed from Jayhawk Boulevard. The parking garage is scheduled to be completed next summer. Kevin Yoder, parking board member, said he would be in favor of removing the spaces from Jayhawk Boulevard.
park," Hultine said. "No decision will be made until we find out the feasibility of such a plan."
"I would like to see Jayhawk Boulevard become a more pedestrian-friendly area by having the vehicles park in campus lots instead of the Boulevard," Yoder said. "It will not only make the campus safer, but also add to the campus' beauty."

TOPEKA — Former Gov. Joan Finney said yesterday she was suing the Topeka Police Department to make a statement about a search of her home two years ago.
Former governor sues Topeka law enforcers
Finney, her husband, Spencer Finney, and her son. Richard Finney, filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court on Sept. 27, exactly two years after the incident.
The lawsuit says that six police officers entered the home, handcuffed Richard Finney and searched all three floors of the townhouse without a warrant. The former governor and her husband were not home — only her son and a friend, who Joan Finney said were reading old car magazines.
"My observations have led me to believe that what I observed with my family is not an isolated event," Joan Finney said.
The former governor had a news conference outside the Frank Carlson Federal Building to discuss her lawsuit.
She said she would dismiss the lawsuit if the city or police department admitted that the officers' conduct was inappropriate and the search was illegal, then publicly apologized.

Joan Finney noted that the lawsuit asked only $1 in damages, plus
Joan Finney said the family waited two years to file the lawsuit because she kept hoping some representative of the department or the city would come forward and apologize.

Communist relations celebrated in Asia
BEJIING—Chinese and North Korean leaders exchanged cordial messages as China's foreign minister visited North Korea's capital yesterday to celebrate 50 years of ties between the communist neighbors.
Tang Jiaxuan and his North Korean counterpart and host, Foreign Minister Paek Nam Sun, held talks after Tang's arrival in Pyongyang, the official North Korean news agency said.
In a message yesterday celebrating 50 years of ties, Chinese leaders promised to work for stronger relations with North Korea,according to the state-run Chinese news agency Xinhua
"The traditional friendship between China and North Korea has a deep historical basis," according to the message sent by President Jiang Zemin, Premier Zhu Rongji and legislative head Li Peng.
Virus blamed in death of New Jersey birds
TRENTON, N.J.—Four dead crows found in New Jersey tested positive for the West Nile-like virus believed responsible for the deaths of at least five people in the New York City metropolitan area.
The virus is believed to be transmitted by mosquitoes that bit infected birds. New York City, Long Island, New Jersey and Connecticut have been spraying pesticides to kill as many mosquitoes as possible before the first winter chill. Scientists also are concerned the virus will move south as birds migrate this fall.
There have been five confirmed animal deaths and several dozen cases of infection in the New York City.
of infection in the New York City area. New Jersey Health Commissioner Christine Grant said residents should take precautions against mosquito bites but should not be unduly concerned by test results. There have been no reports of New Jersey residents being infected with the virus.
"We have no reason to think that in fact we will see cases in New Jersey residents," Grant said. "Diseases like this can have a hot spot, a fairly localized outbreak."

Harvard professor to speak on millennium at Lied Center
Continued from page 1A
Hanson, who assisted Gould during his last visit to the University about 15 years ago, agreed.
"He is one of the most popular, in-demand speakers in the country today," said Hanson, who was asked by The Hall Center to assist with Gould's visit. "He has interesting things to say on all subjects."
Crow said that it was a coincidence that the board's decision eliminating evolution from standardized tests coincided with Gould's lecture because he had been scheduled to speak since December 1998.
"He was invited to speak about time and the growth of ideas because of his book on the millennium." Crow said.
She said that if he doesn't discuss the evolution debate that the topic could come up during the question and answer portion at the end of the lecture.
Hanson predicted that Gould would stick to the lecture for which he was scheduled but that tomorrow he would be discussing with faculty and graduate students the repercussions of the board's decision.
Tim Miller, professor of religious studies, said that he was looking forward to Gould's lecture.
"He's one who has stood up for the scientific approach to the world during a time of nationwide assault," Miller said.

Student's seismic simulator tests building joints
Device could save lives in earthquakes
By Mindie Miller Special to the Kansan
A University of Kansas graduate student is really shaking things up at Learned Hall. And he's hoping to save a few lives in the process.
Jon Lindsey, Kansas City, Kan. doctoral student in civil engineering, has constructed an earthquake simulator to test how different types of building joints hold up under seismic forces.
"Earthquakes are fascinating to everyone," Lindsey said. "That's what drew me to the product initially. As an engineer, I wanted to examine structural issues that had the potential to save lives."
The $70,000 steel device, which replicates the joint structure of a building, situates a 15-foot floor beam perpendicular to a 15-foot wall beam. A large hydraulic ram exerts force against an outer wall, and instruments on the floor beam measure how much the material is stretching or compressing.
This enables Lindsey to test the effect of the force on the joint that connects the two beams. The ram exerted enough force in his most recent test to bend the steel floor beam, which was 21 inches thick.
The purpose of this test, Lindsey said, was to have the floor beam act as a hinge that would absorb most of the energy from an earthquake while leaving the vertical column intact. His goal is to develop a connection design that would bend but not break.
"This type of structure would allow a building to deform and accommodate the earthquake and at the same time avoid collapse," Lindsey said. "That way, people could still get out of the building."
He said it had taken five years to complete the project, from the time of its conception to when it actually could be used to run tests.
Kim Roddis, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering and Lindsey's graduate adviser, said the department had had the capacity to do concrete testing for quite some time because it could use the
hydraulic ram on the strong concrete floor in the lab. But, she said, it never had had a reaction wall on which to perform connection testing.
"Jon built the reaction frame design that supplied this wall." Roddis said. "His work has given us the capacity to do full-scale connection testing for cycling loads."
And his findings could reach far beyond the engineering department.
Roddis said Lindsey's initial tests had shown that prefabricated steel joints hold up much better than joints that were welded on site. This kind of information could be valuable in improving construction techniques, which could, in turn, prevent thousands of earthquake-related deaths worldwide — an issue of rising concern in light of recent earthquakes.
Roddis said that to create safer buildings, engineers had to concern themselves with how buildings failed.
"We want buildings to fail gracefully and preserve life safety," she said.

Assembly approves wider minor selection
By Amanda Kaschube
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences are now eligible for 11 new minors because of the College Assembly's unanimous approval yesterday.
The minors, which were proposed last year during the assembly meetings, will offer more variety to students, said Sally Frost Mason, dean of the college.
"It's taken a year for departments to develop them and bring them up for approval." she said.
To obtain a minor, students must take a minimum of 18 hours, 12 of which must be 300 or higher level classes.
Dick Hardin, chairman for the English department, said he believed minors would enable students to take a variety of classes.
"Students like the idea of both subjects," he said. "A student could major in geography and minor in physics. It sounds impressive."
"It got out of hand," he said. "The number of hours for majors increased to almost 30 hours."
Hardin said that in the 1960s, the University of Kansas tried to dissuade students from pursuing minors — instead, students were encouraged to have a double major.
"The business world calls for a broad range of knowledge," she said. "It's important to have both sides covered."
Allison Abplanalp, Topeka sophomore and student representative for the assembly, said she would be interested in taking a minor in German along with her microbiology major.
Abplanalp said she believed many students would take advantage of the new opportunities with minors.
The minors were first approved by the Committee on Undergraduate Studies and Advising last spring and were then sent to the assembly for a vote. More minors also may be suggested in the future.
The next meeting for the assembly will be Nov. 2.
New major in the college
The assembly also unanimously approved a deviance and social control major that parallels criminal justice

majors at Kansas State University and Wichita State University.
Mason said the major would give students a legitimate way to earn a degree, but Provost David Shulenburger and the Board of Regents still needed to approve the proposition.
"We're going to try it because students want this," she said. "David doesn't like to have duplicates because he gets criticism. We try to be careful."
The college also welcomed 24 new faculty members from 17 different departments including theatre and film, chemistry, history and linguistics.
Mason said earlier this semester that she wanted to bring new faculty members to the University. At the meeting yesterday, she said she was pleased with the new additions.
Four African studies classes received non-western status unanimously by the assembly. Included are Southern African Literature, African Islamic Literature, African Women Writers and Studies in African Studies.
"I'm happy with the new teachers," Mason said. "There's a sense that there are good teachers on the board now." New non-western culture classes

Scientist entangled in evolution debate
Special to the Kansan
Paleontologist and evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould is scheduled to speak about the millennium at 8 tonight at the Lied Center, but the focus of the discussion may evolve. Gould's recent intervention in the controversy surrounding the State Board of Education's new science standards may come under question.
Last month, as president of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, Gould joined the heads of two other national science organizations — the National Science Teachers Association and the National Research Council — in denying the board copyright permission to use any of the national science education standards developed by the three organizations.
The board's new science standards used parts of the national standards, but omitted those relating
to the origins of the universe, the origin of life and the evolutionary origin of species, according to a joint press release issued Sent. 23.
The release said the board's decision adopted a position
EAGLE GARDEN
According to the release, the board's standards would deny
many Kansas students the opportunity to explore and think critically about one of the most important set of ideas developed in the history of science. The release said the board's standards also politicized the teaching and learning of science by attempting to undermine prevailing scientific theory.
The release concluded, "We must disassociate ourselves and our organizations from the Kansas Science Education Standards."
Rodney J. Bieker, the board's general counsel, said the stan-
the board's general counsel, said the standards would have to be revised to delete copyrighted material. He said the details would be discussed at the board's meetings Monday and Tuesday in DeSoto. Richard E. Levy, professor of law, said the board would have to vote on any revised standards.
But Burdett Loomis, professor of political science, said he saw no chance that any board members would change their positions on evolution in a new vote. The board's regular monthly meeting
monthly meeting is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. Monday at the DeSoto High School Little Theater, 35000 West 91 St.A citizen's open forum is scheduled for 10:30 a.m.Discussion of the science standards is on the Board's agenda for Tuesday.

Financial aid for University staff on the rise
By Scott Kirsch
Special to the Kansan
More University of Kansas staff members than ever are receiving financial assistance to take classes at the University.
The University's Employee Tuition Assistance has made it possible. Lynn George, employment manager of Human Resources, directs the Tuition Assistance program.
"We award tuition for one class a semester," George said. "The only thing you have to pay for is books."
During the past three years, the number of tuition waivers granted has increased from about 35 employees to 107 for the fall semester.
To qualify for the program, employees must have worked full time at the University for a year or part time for three years. The assistance program, which began in 1976, does not take into account the employees' finances when determining who receives awards.
One classified employee receiving assistance this semester is Rachel Woodbridge, an applications programmer/analyst in computing services who is studying for her Bachelor of Fine Arts in design, specializing in ceramics. Woodbridge has received assistance off and on since 1989.
"When I started," Woodbridge said, "I had taken nine hours. I'm now down to 20 and will graduate in four more semesters."
Rose Foster, office specialist for the Admissions Office in the School of Law, received tuition assistance for the first time this summer and is finishing her degree in theatre and film this fall.
"It's been wonderful," Poster said. "As a working parent, it's hard to justify paying tuition. Now there's no excuse."
Foster encouraged any employee who was trying to get a degree to try the Tuition Assistance program, which also is available to unclassified employees. George said that 48 unclassified employees, 55 classified employees and 6 affiliates, all of whom work for the University but differ on pay, received assistance through the program this semester.
Foster said another benefit of the program was that it helped employees to be more student-oriented because they take classes themselves.
Sherry Michael, budget coordinator Graduate School and International Programs, also is receiving tuition assistance to reach her goal of earning a degree
Michael, who has worked at the University for 25 years, began college at the University in 1965. Personal obligations prevented her from graduating.
although she did give it another shot in the mid-1970s. Two years ago, she decided to get serious.
Michael needed 37 hours at the time but will need only six more hours to graduate after this semester. Michael, who is working toward a degree in English literature, has received assistance every time she has applied.
"It's a wonderful program," she said. "It provides great opportunities. I wouldn't be able to do it without them."
These dreams can come true thanks to general use funds, said Lindy Eakin, associate provost.
"Around '96 or '97, (Chancellor Robert) Hemenway wanted to expand the program," Eakin said.
The program had been limited by money. However, after allocating money from different places, the budget rose from $20,000 to $40,000.
"I think we're close to saturating the demand, although we might grow another 15 to 20 students," Eakin said.
Applications for tuition assistance are available at Room 103 in Carruth'O' Leary Hall. Call 864-7415 for more information. The deadline for Spring 2000 is 5 p.m., Nov. 19.

Image shouldn't be determining factor
Political campaigning is beginning to look like the Academy Awards more than national politics. In order to be a contender for high political office, candidates need the right image; however, that image too often is at the expense of political substance and issues.
Actor Warren Beatty recently drew a crowd in Hollywood to chide the Democratic Party for drifting from the left. Maybe he did some good, but why does the world take notice when a movie star stands in the pulpit? Beatty is taken more seriously than liberal politicians because he has a celebrity image. People will listen to him because of his popularity, and he has enough wealth and influence to make his opinions known.
Dan Quayle is not that lucky. Before one vote has been cast in a primary, a

one-time vice president has quit the race. Few people wanted to support Quayle — at least partially because of his poor public image — so his campaign went broke.

Republican Party and the country. The voters won't know, because the images already have been used to decide our candidates.
Donald Trump calls himself a straight shooter and covets the Reform Party nomination. He has promised to get the economy going and protect us from terrorism. But his plans are as vague as the details of a Trump real estate deal. Trump has name recognition and business savvy but no known political qualifications.
Perhaps Quayle deserves his reputation, and family values may have been his entire platform. Or, maybe he got a raw deal and had something to offer the
Politics naturally places appearance above substance; but, this year things seem to be out of hand. We need candidates who present their ideas, not just their images. We need to know what they are about. Otherwise we will lose substantial candidates and get stuck with superficial ones.

Ventura keeps promise to tell the naked truth
Perspective
After his much-publicized interview in Playboy magazine, Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura has reinforced his reputation as a simple-minded, loud-mouthed, bald-headed bruit. But that is the beauty of Jesse, and those who cannot love him for the joke machine that he is are missing the essence of the man.
Playboy's November issue reports that Jesse made an off-hand remark about religion after he was questioned about keeping prisons free of consensual criminals such as prostitutes and drug users. He blamed vice laws and religion for exaggerating such crimes.
CATHERINE CORTES
Jenny Oakson columnist opinion @ kansan.com
"It's because of religion," he told the only nudie magazine to feature Kurt Vonnegut. "Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It
tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people's business. I live by the golden rule: Treat others as you'd want them to treat you. The religious right wants to tell people how to live."
First off, what a gutsy move! Second, I have to renew my subscription!
Whether you agree with Jesse or not, one must applaud his candor. It takes a brave wrestler to denounce the religious right in a pornographic magazine. This is an excellent example of why he's superb: Head up, eyes forward, mouth says the first thing he thinks. One of the lovable aspects of Jesse is that he probably didn't think that anyone religious would see the Playboy issue because of the naked women and all.
But I didn't cover anything in elephant dung,he probably whispered to himself.
The other night, as I tuned into my favorite television program, The 700 Club, I was alarmed to hear that Christian Minnesotans, along with Reform Party bigwigs, want him out. I admit that Jesse, governor of a state that's home to the
Lutheran Brotherhood (and more potluck dinners than it knows how to make casseroles for), was cruisin' for a bruisin' when he insulted organized religion. But he always promised honesty during his gubernatorial campaign.
During my summer job in Minneapolis, I often wondered how Jesse Ventura became governor. Word around the office was that the "magic" started when he centered his campaign around the more rough and tumble citizens and approached them with a down-to-earth sense of politics. He knew first-hand how to get these votes
- free mesh hats, hard issues like hunting and fishing licenses and using small words (which was convenient for Jesse as well).
Indeed, he must have earned his election after campaigning in thick Brainard forests, vast lakes of Itasca State Park and dark, smoky St. Paul pubs. He promoted his honest tongue and his nonnonsense approach to funding and budgets. Sure, maybe he'll never be the spokesman for duct tape, but Jesse isn't afraid to say what's on his mind.
More insulting than Jesse's own constituents resentting the monster they made is Reform Party chairman Russ Verney asking "The Body" to renounce his party affiliation. How loyal! Without Jesse, these people would still be defending Ross Perot and the half-dead running mate he brought to the debate in '92. Verney stated that Jesse's comments in the interview did not represent the values, principles and ethics upon which the party was built. Which values are those? Money, lunacy and air time?
No wonder Pat Buchanan's interested. I'm no history major, but the only thing anyone remembers about the dawning of the modern Reform Party is a crazy midget with a Southern accent holding up pie graphs on his own infomercial.
In reality, neither Minnesota nor the Reform Party would be what they are today without the help of Jesse Ventura. As a rule, pro wrestlers are very vocal. Whether it's embarrassing, quirky or just plain dumb, anyone can smell that "The Body's" cooking up major publicity.

Nation's greedy interests harmful to world's poor
Recently I traveled to Manhattan to attend a Noam Chomsky lecture at Kansas State University. Chomsky is a respected and well-known linguistics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who has gained attention from academic audiences throughout the world in the last years for his work as a political activist. He has been largely ignored by the American mass media.
He discussed many points of U.S. foreign policy during his lecture, and he touched on some points that really can lead to curious conclusions. Those
I
Chomsky thinks that U.S. foreign policy is mainly guided by commercial and economic interests and that human rights almost always are used by the country's leaders as mere excuses to accomplish commercial and economic goals.

This theory can be perfectly applied to what happened early in the year in Kosovo and also what now is happening in East Timor.

conclusions can be applied to many relevant situations we see now throughout the world.
East Timor was a Portuguese colony until 1975, when it was invaded by Indonesia. At the time it was invaded, many world powers, especially the United States, gave clear instructions that they wanted to take military actions then. But they didn't do anything, and Indonesia, a relatively powerful country in Asia, took control of East Timor.
For the past two and a half decades, the Unites States has been building strong relations with Indonesia, mainly commercial relations. Indonesia is a prosperous and rich country by Asian standards, while East Timor is extremely poor, without industry and with few natural resources.
The country gained media attention in 1966 when two of its leaders, Jose Ramos-Horta and Carlos Belo, received the Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts toward an independent East Timor.
The relations between the United States and
the United States toward independence East Timor.
The population chose independence, and this started a huge conflict that has been extended for months. Months of suffering, pain and death have been endured by the population of East Timor. The Indonesian government seems to be innocent when it talks about the militias that have killed and brought pain to thousands of citizens, and the world doesn't seem to care very much. Why is that?
Indonesia got even stronger last year when the dictator Suharto stepped down. He passed the power to his successor and present Indonesian President B.J. Habibie.
By doing this, the U.S. can assure that major actions will only take place directly through its army, since the United Nations will not have money to form one. The United States controls NATO military operations, and it has veto power at the United Nations. So, what can you expect?
Habibie opened a door to democracy early in the year, when he declared he would let the population of East Timor decide whether it wanted independence or autonomy within Indonesia.
According to Chomsky, you can expect interventions in Israel or in Kosovo, places where American interests already were given shape or where they will start to take place. If you live in Rwanda or Sierra Leone you can start to worry, because no help will come, as it will not come to East Timor as much as it should.
Because the United Nations has no army and because any of the five counties in the U.N. Security Council can veto a proposal, the United Nations is very weak. Chomsky thinks that the United Nations is falling apart because the United States refuses to pay its debt to the world organization constituted of 185 members.
For Chomsky capitalism and democracy can't live together. What really matters in our extremely capitalistic world is money. If you are rich, you can kill people, and world powers will continue to trade with you. However, if you are poor or not willing to be conquered by capitalistic interests, your death can come really soon. Who knows the answers? Maybe Chomsky does.

Feedback
I was dismused with the cover story in Monday's Kansan concerning the Homecoming Day parade. My concerns do not just stem from the fact that a living organization thinks that it is acceptable to lie to University officials, but also at the gall of the ACLU and its vain attempts at constitutional exploitation.
Let's start with this whining "my first amendment rights are being violated because I lied to the parade committee and wanted to offend the crowd with a lewd expression" argument.
Float was wrong
Are you serious? I hate to be the logic officer here, but if the group didn't think that its float
would cause problems, why did it find it necessary to fabricate multiple stories as to the uses for the paper mache middle finger?
Second, why is the ACU fightin for a group that has shown that its sole intention was to slander the university, its alumni and Homecoming tradition. Sure, you could say that first amendment rights were violated. Of course they are violated on television everyday when inappropriate language and gestures are censored. Need I remind these "crusaders of freedom" that Hilltop Daycare care is along the parade route and that children should be sheltered from such obscenities?
I didn't say that the float couldn't be used, just not within the forum that has been created for Homecoming and certainly not after being surreptitious with organizers who spent long hours arranging the parade so that it would be a first class event.
It is a shame that groups on campus have nothing better to do than to defame the university and its events by using poor judgement. This lack of integrity shows of a dismal time in student responsibility, to the community, to the university, and to the society that has made it possible for these exploitations to occur.

Latin-American students debate stereotypes in forum
By Lesley Simmons
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Latin-American students don't automatically know which Mexican restaurant is the best in town. They may not speak Spanish perfectly, or be experts on Latin-American culture. And they do not all have identical cultural backgrounds.
About 60 students gathered at 7 p.m. last night to learn about Latin-American stereotypes at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union. The diversity dialogue "The Invisible Minority: Hispanic Livin' La Vida Loca" gave students a forum to learn about the racism their fellow students have experienced.
Diversity dialogues are held the first Tuesday of every month. The theme this year is exploring stereotypes.
Three students shared their experiences, and then the audience broke into small groups for further discussion.
Claudia Mercado, Springfield, Mo., graduate student, has lived in Lawrence for about two months. She
was born in Compton, Calif. and lived in a predominantly Latin-American neighborhood in California until she was 7. Then her family moved to a rural town in Missouri with a population of about 300.
"We were the only 'anything,'" she said. "No one else looked like me except my brother, my sister and my parents."
Mercado said she was called "wetback" without realizing it was a racial slur and that other children used the racial slurs in school without getting in trouble.
She said common stereotypes in that town were that all Latin Americans were maids, gardeners, illegal aliens, drug addicts or drug smugglers.
Mercado said her parents told her she would have to act better and study harder because of these prejudices.
Robert Rodriguez's parents are from Argentina. Rodriguez, Lawrence graduate student, said that while growing up in California, people often assumed he came from a Mexican background.
"Of course all the Rodriguez's are
related, right?" Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez said in first grade he had to take a test proving his proficiency in English because of his last name. In high school, he had to take another proficiency test even though he was in honors English.
After the panelists spoke the audience divided into groups of about five.
Vincent Edwards, Wichita junior, was a facilitator for one of the groups. Facilitators were assigned before the forum. He is a trained volunteer with the Diversity Peer Education Team, an organization that educates groups about diversity issues including racism, sexism, homophobia and discrimination against people with disabilities.
He asked members of his group what stereotypes they had heard about Latin Americans, why they thought they existed, and how they thought they could be changed.
Gina Wilkinson, Overland Park junior, attended the dialogue for her Spanish conversation class.
"It was interesting to have a dialogue about racism and what it means," she said.

Plans flow for aquatic center
City Commission approves final bid; will break ground
By Derek Prater
writer @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The City of Lawrence is diving head-first into construction of a public indoor aquatic center.
Last night, the City Commission approved 4-0-1 the last of the construction bid packages for the center, which is being built adjacent to Free State High School, 4700 Overland Drive. Commissioner Marty Kennedy abstained.
Five bid packages were approved including masonry work, roofing, waterproofing and fire protection. A landscaping bid was rejected as part of the vote.
Mark Green, project manager for Lawrence-based DiCaro/B. A.B. Green Construction Managers, LLC, which is overseeing the construction, said that site clearing was completed and excavation crews would break ground on the center today.
City Commission
Fred DeVictor, director of the Parks and Recreation Department, said the center was scheduled to open spring 2001.
The project, which is funded by a 1994 voter-approved sales tax, was initially budgeted for $9.5 million, and city officials have said there should not be any problem staying within the budget.
Construction bid packages have totaled $148,014 less than originally budgeted, according to figures presented to the city commission by DiCarlo/ B.A. Green Construction Managers, LLC.
Mayor Erv Hodges said he continued to be pleased with the development of the project.
"Again, I think we've been very
successful." he said.
Tom Wilkerson, assistant director of the Parks and Recreation Department, said last week that the building would hold two pools. One will be a 10-lane, 50-meter-by-25-yard, competitive teaching pool, Wilkerson said.
The other pool, which will be separated by a glass wall, will be a family leisure pool with fountains, a slide and an assortment of features for children to play on.
In addition to the pools, there will be bleachers with the capacity to seat 750 people and locker rooms.
DeVictor said that the pool would be open to the public, similar to the Lawrence Municipal Pool, 741 Kentucky St.
Hours and fees have not yet been determined, he said.
DeVictor said that the center would have a variety of aquatic programs, including swim lessons and lap and public swimming.
The center also will be used by Free State High School for swim meets, he said.

South Korean nuclear plant springs leak
'Heavy water' exposes workers to radiation in harmless spill
The Associated Press
SEOUL, South Korea— Radioactive water leaked inside a South Korean nuclear power plant during repair work, exposing 22 workers to small amounts of radiation, the government said yesterday.
About 12 gallons of so-called "heavy water" was leaked during the accident Monday evening at a nuclear plant in Wolsung, 190 miles southeast of the capital Seoul, the Science and Technology Ministry said in a statement.
It said the radioactive water was
Those exposed to radiation in the Wolsung accident were employees of the state Korea Electric Power Corp., which runs three nuclear reactors in Wolsung. The Canadian-designed reactors use heavy water to generate electricity.
contained inside the plant and did not escape into the environment.
Heavy water behaves like ordinary water, but it contains a heavier version of hydrogen. It is not naturally radioactive, but as it circulates in pipes it can pick up traces of radioactive metals. So when workers handle the water, they routinely treat it as radioactive.
South Korea and some other countries use heavy water for cooling in power plants because it won't absorb ingredients needed for the energy-making chain reactions. American nuclear plants use a different design, which uses ordinary, or light, water.

The leak occurred during repair work on a cooling water pump at Wolsung-3, which has a capacity of
700 megawatts and started commercial operations on July 1, 1998. It was the first scheduled maintenance work on that reactor since it opened.
Two workers were checking pipe connections at the time of the leak and 20 others were dispatched to clean the area. All were exposed to radioactive gas emanating from the water, said Chung Kisang, chief nuclear technician at Korea Electric.
"The amount of radiation that affected the workers is negligible. It is not harmful to the workers," Chung said.
A. David Rossin, former U.S. assistant secretary of energy for nuclear energy, said yesterday that based on early reports of the Korean accident, chances were the exposures were low and the radioactivity was low.
Tuition and fees increase twice the inflation rate
In-state tuition at public schools rises 3.4 percent
The Associated Press
An investigation was underway.
NEW YORK—College tuition and fees rose an average of less than 5 percent this year — the smallest increase in four years — thanks in part to the booming economy. But the increase was still more than twice the rate of inflation.
The average tuition at a four-year private college in 1999-2000 is $15,380, a 4.6 percent increase during last year, according to a survey released yesterday by The College Board. That doesn't include the average room-and-board cost of $5,959, up 3.6 percent from last year.
In-state tuition at public four-year schools averages $3,356, a 3.4 percent increase, while out-of-state tuition is $8,706, a rise of 3 percent. Room and board at those schools average $4,730, a 4.6 percent rise.
that tuition is rising at such a fast rate, and people are intimidated by it."
"This obviously isn't the best news for students," said Meredith Klein, a sophomore at the University of Chicago, where tuition is $23,820 a year. "It's definitely a problem in this country
Experts attributed the smaller-than-usual increase to the booming economy, brimming state coffers, a vigorous stock market that has swelled colleges' endowments, and efforts by schools to rein in costs.
"Times are good," said Jane Wellman, an analyst at the nonprofit Institute for Higher Education Policy in Washington. "State budgets are better than they've been in over a decade."
But she also said,
"When times are bad, it's
the first thing to get cut."

Default rate reaches low for student debtors
Think again! Legal Services for Students
The Associated Press
The rate has dropped each year since a peak of 22.4 percent in fiscal 1990.
The default rate on government student loans has dropped to the lowest level since Washington began keeping track more than a decade ago.
The rate dipped to 8.8 percent in fiscal 1997, from 9.6 percent the year before, according to figures released yesterday.
Education Secretary Richard Riley credited responsible student borrowers, schools, underwriters and lenders, a crackdown on debtors and the robust economy with its plentiful jobs.
Thinking of drinking alcohol at the game?
The figures represent borrowers whose first payments were due in fiscal 1997 and who failed to make payments sometime before Oct. 1, 1998, the end of fiscal 1998.
Student loans underwritten by the federal government averaged $4,103 in fiscal 1997. The loans went to 2.15 million students attending more than 7,000 vocational schools, college and universities. Of those students, about 188,000 defaulted by falling behind in payments.

British train collision kills at least 26 people
The Associated Press
Same train line site of 1997 crash that killed seven
LONDON — Two London commuter trains smashed into each other during rush hour yesterday, killing 26 passengers and injuring 160 on the same rail line as another fatal crash two years ago.
Many passengers sobbed as they described frantically crawling out broken windows after Britain's worst train accident in more than a decade.
Ambulance and fire crews, police and rail workers swarmed around the overturned, mangled rail cars for hours, locating and freeing injured survivors in the smoldering wreckage near the Ladbroke Grove residential area in west London.
"I was thinking, 'God, please don't let me die.'" said Stuart Allen, a passenger. "You've got flames. You've got smoke. You've got a big bang. You've just got to think the worst." Police said one badly damaged car could contain more bodies, but it called off the search for more victims until daylight today.
The cause of the collision was not immediately known, but health and safety officials began an investigation.
Great Western, one of the train companies involved in yesterday's disaster, had been fines $2.47 million for dereliction of duty in connection with the crash in 1997 that killed seven people and injured 150
others.
"I felt an almighty bang," passenger David Taylor said of yesterday's crash, which occurred early yesterday morning. "I looked up, and I could see the front of the coach was on fire. There were balls of flames coming down both sides."
Emergency crews said 18 people were injured seriously, and 124 were transported to area hospitals.
"Iinjuries are among the worst I have seen in my professional career," said Robin Touquet, an accident and emergency consultant at St. Mary's Hospital.
Others were haunted by the cries of those trapped in the wreckage.
"I could see people with blood pouring down their faces," said Joe Bannerman, who was working nearby. "Someone was running with their clothes on fire. I could see lots of people were burned badly on their faces and hands. They were shouting 'Help! Help! Get us out'!"
While safety officials were cautious about speculating about the cause of the collision, many said it was possible that the investigation would study the 1997 Southall crash in its search for answers.
Authorities could not immediately determine the total number of passengers aboard the trains. Great Western said as many as 500 people might have been on board its train, minutes away from its destination of London's Paddington Station. Thames Trains' cars may have carried 150 passengers.
The immediate cause of the Southall accident was that the driver had bent down to pack a bag and went through two amber warning lights and a red signal. But an inquiry said a contributing factor was that two automatic safety

devices were not fully operative as the train traveled from Wales to Paddington at speeds of up to 125 mph.
Great Western pleaded guilty to the charge that it exposed passengers to risks to their health and safety in that crash.
"To have two very serious fatal accidents is a great tragedy and obviously a great disappointment," said Victor Coleman, Britain's chief inspector of railways. "What we need to do is to learn the lesson and prevent this sort of thing from happening again."
Andrew Rosenheim, 44, a United States citizen traveling on the Great Western train, felt fortunate just to be alive.
While Rosenheim said he would get on a train again, he added, "It is very depressing to think, in the light of this terrible tragedy, that it can still happen."
Yesterday's accident was Britain's worst rail crash since December 1988, when three trains collided outside London's Clapham Junction, killing 35 people.
FCC needs proof that WorldCom will benefit clients
MCI, Sprint agree to merger
The Associated Press
NEW YORK—In what would be the largest corporate takeover to date, MCI WorldCom Inc. agreed to pay $115 million for Sprint Corp., the nation's No. 3 long distance carrier, the companies officially announced yesterday morning.
The nation's top telephone regulator immediately warned the companies that they bear a heavy burden to show how consumers would benefit from the merger.
control 30 percent of the U.S. long-distance market and offer wireless phone, paging services and an Internet network. WorldCom also would be a stronger competitor to AT&T Corp., the nation's largest long-distance and cable TV company.
The combined company would be called WorldCom, and would
But William E. Kennard, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, said MCI WorldCom and Sprint would have to make a strong case for approval of the deal.
"American consumers are enjoying the lowest long-distance rates in history and the lowest Internet rates in the world for one reason: competition," Kennard said in Washington. "Competition has produced a price war in the long-distance market."
Bernard J. Ebbers, president and chief executive officer of MCI WorldCom, told reporters in New York, that "we understood from day one it is our burden of proof to show this is pro-competitive."
He added, "We look forward to the opportunity of doing that."
Both companies' boards voted to approve the deal Monday evening, and it was formally announced yesterday morning.
The deal would be the largest corporate merger ever, eclipsing the pending $82 billion deal between Exxon Corp. and Mobil Corp.
MCI WorldCom is the nation's second biggest long-distance company and one of the world's biggest operators of the networks that make up the Internet, but has no wireless calling business. Sprint PCS would fill that hole nicely.
Communications agreement leaves many in Kansas City uncertain
The Associated Press
with MCI Worldcom.
OVERLAND PARK—Leaders of Sprint Corp.'s Kansas City area operations insisted the company had no plans to abandon the company's massive headquarters project here amid plans to merge with MCI WorldCom.
Michael B. Fuller, president and chief operating officer of Sprint's Local Telecommunications Division, said the company expected to complete the construction of its campus and continue moving employees to the campus at a rate of 200 every weekend.
Still, yesterday's merger announcement left many of Sprint's 15,000 Kansas City area employees, as well as business and government leaders, wondering how it affected their futures.
Fuller said the subject of a pullout from the Kansas City area was never discussed in merger talks
Mississippi-based MC1 WorldCom Inc. has made a successful $115 billion bid for Sprint, the companies announced yesterday.
The combined company will be called WorldCom, and will control 30 percent of the U.S. long-distance market, offer wireless phone and paging services and an Internet network. WorldCom also will be a stronger competitor to AT&T Corp., the nation's largest long-
distance and cable TV company.
Sprint dedicated its new world headquarters on Friday in Overland Park, a 22-building complex still under construction that is designed to accommodate about 15,000 employees, now spread out in more than 40 buildings across the metropolitan area.
Overland Park granted millions of dollars worth of tax incentives to get the complex, and Mayor Ed Eilert said Monday night that he hoped the proposed merger wouldn't have a major effect on area employment.
"I have more questions than answers at this point in time," the mayor said. "What MCI has in mind I don't know."

Burrito kings of Lawrence spill the bean
it's
a wrap
Photos by Matt Daugherty
maybe folks have simply grown weary of greasy burgers.
Perhaps the soggy piece of pizza isn't pleasing. And maybe apple pie and hot dogs aren't really what we want as our national dietary symbols anymore.
Three local shops think they have the problem wrapped up.
On Oct. 1, 1998, New York Burrite officially opened at 939 Massachusetts St. Months later, Z-Teca Fresh Mexican Grill, 743 Massachusetts St., and Chipotle Mexican Grill, 911 Massachusetts St., followed suit.
Packaged in flour tortillas and stuffed with everything from ground beef to tofu, the "wrap" has invaded Lawrence from its California homeland.
Somehow every restaurant touring the hip concoction has managed to stay in business despite similar offerings and location.
Representatives of the new restaurants said business had been good, although none would release profit figures.
Anyone who's hurried themselves into the world wraps can tell you there's more than one way to fill a tortilla. Meat, beans and cheese no longer are crucial. Sour cream and gouge sauce no longer rest at the pinnacle of extravagance.
Instead, it's about things like marinated chicken breasts,
Instead, it's about things like marinated chick in breasts, steamed tortillas and obscure vegetables.
It is also about quantity and quality. For about $5, all three of the stores on Massachusetts advert offer a bursito that usually prices more than a pound.
These stores have brewed up new interest in hefty burritos and unwrapped some competition. Now the brains behind the burritos come forth to spill the beans.
Oso Burrito
Joe Warner sifted through a stock of oxymoron some of his customers had left next to the cash register last week. KU football, congressional ethics and smart K-Staters were a few to appear.
Warner is owner of New York Burrito — the exymoron that originally inspired the contest. Though there are more than 60 New York Burritos across the country, New York is still foreign territory.
From the spicy Cajun shrimp wrap to the South Bronx smothered burrito, New York Burrito doesn't lack options.
The wrap, Warner said, originated in San Francisco about a decade ago and was now hitting the Midwest.
As for the high population of burrito shops on Massachusetts
Street, Warner doesn't find it too surprising.
"Obviously it splits up the pie, but anytime you're in food service you're in competition with others," he said. "Customers come in the store all the time and say they like ours the best."
Two Burrito
Bruce Marano gave away 2,700 burritos in August — a number that, in burrito terms, is worth $13,500.
Through free burrito ads in the University Daily Kansan, Marango, owner of Z-Teca Fresh Mexican Grill, hoped to connect with the student population of the University of Kansas.
"It's no different than buying someone a beer," Maranea said. "I just bought them a burrito."
Marano said his restaurant had quickly-served gourmet Mexican food in a relaxed atmosphere. Marano is proud of the fact that everything is grilled or baked rather than fried. He boasts that everything is made from scratch.
Marano is well aware of the competition.
"We don't care if people try out the other burrito places," he said. "They'll see ours better."
Though Chipotle Mexican Grill looks conservative from the street, inside one finds a room that looks like a mix between Mad Max and Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.
The store opened at the beginning of last summer with a bang. After handing out informal invitations, two nights of free burritos and free beers followed. People swarmed in like vultures.
"People would get on their cell phones and a drave of that buddies would come down to join in," Manager Matt Easley said. Like the other burnt places, Easley said his store was the best.
"I hear from people all the time that there is no comparison," Easley said. "We have the best product. People come in here and are hooked."
Mord
Despite the influx of new burrito restaurants, Jesse Zuniga, owner of Burrito King, 900 Illinois St., said his business hadn't been affected. He said that his five-year-old business was family run and didn't buy food prepackaged. He also said price was a difference.
"You can almost get two of my burritos for the price of one of theirs," Zuniga said.
Zuniga said he didn't think people would become devoted to one burrito restaurant.
"It's like anything else," ne said. "No one wants to eat McDonald's three times a week."
Burrito King: No.1
Burrito King: No.1 Chipotle Grill: Chicken Burrito New York Burrito: The Original Z Teca: Vegetarian Burrito A No.1 — the classic burrito wrap with chicken, beef or pork, covered in sour cream, rice, lettuce and beans — satisfies like no other when the need for a lot of food arises. For shear value and amount of food, Burrito King is unsurpassed. Three bucks for a pound of food? Gid-syrup — Mike Miller, sportswriter If you want a lot of rice and a little chicken on the side, have a Chipotle Grill chicken burrito. Although Chipotle's signature cilantro-lime rice pleases the palate, it suffocates the flavor of what's traditionally supposed to go inside a tortilla — chicken, beans, salsa, sour cream and cheese. The chicken burrito is a carbo-loaded wrap, bordering on bland. — Emily Huhgey, staff writer The Original New York Burrito is the signature dish at the restaurant. Ground beef, small slices of pastrami, pinto beans and flavored rice are tossed into a flour tortilla, then either a mild red sauce or a slightly more bold green sauce is slathered on top along with shredded cheese. While the pastrami is a little unusual, it works surprisingly well. — Brendan Walsh, movie critic The vegetarian burrito is bland and big. Inside the burrito's bleated belly, watery black beans settle in a warm pool of disabled hot sauce, herbed rice and a fistful of cheese. Upon request, a white drizzle of sour cream can be sprayed onto the burrito's innards. It is an act of consumption to be missed. Plus, it costs too much. — Dan Curry, associate features editor

Fullback fights crime, opponents
Houston native eager to seek career in FBI
By Mike Miller
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
He was once an enforcer on defense, but now Tyrus Fontenot patrols the offensive backfield, serving and protecting the Kansas running backs.
He's a real force on special teams, where Fontenot has established himself as a player who can catch passes and make big hits.
But the biggest thrill for Fontenot will be after the season when he goes back home to Houston to begin his career in law enforcement.
And not just any law enforcement. He wants to be in the FBI.
"That's where I want to end up eventually," Fontenot said. "Somewhere more advanced than state agencies. You got the U.S. Marshalls, customs and the Secret Service. It's the same. But that's the goal."
It's been his goal since high school. Fontenot grew up in Houston, the fourthlargest city in the United States.
"I was an inner-city kid and the area I grew up in wasn't the greatest," he said.
He moved out of that neighborhood, but the desire stuck with him.
36
Besides becoming a federal agent, Fontein not also wanted to attend college. He's accomplished half of the goal thanks to football. The other half is soon to follow
Fonteen completed graduation requirements last spring, but
wanted to play his final year of football. After all, it's the one thing that he's been doing longer than preparing for law enforcement. He has an internship with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, where he is an assistant investigator.
It's not a conventional career choice, but Fontenot isn't conventional either.
"Tyrus might be a little crazy," said safety Chad Coellner.
One of the key special-teams players with Fontenot, Coelner can be seen streaking down the field with Fontenot trying to make tackles on punt and kickoff returns. It's a job that involves blind side hits and sacrificing a person's body to make plays — something that suits Fontenot.
They take turns laying the big hits on opponents, and it shows. The Kansas coaches have awarded Fontenot with the big hit of the week and special teams player of the week awards, while Coellner has been special teams player of the week once. But that's to be expected given the defensive background of both players.
Fontenot used to be a terror on defense in high school and his first two years at Kansas. He was the Associated Press 5A player of the year in Texas and The Houston Chronicle's defensive player of the year as a linebacker.
"He was a really great linebacker in college," Coellner said. "I don't know how we got him here." Coellner said.
The biggest problem in college has been Fontenot's size. He's 5-foot-8, but a solid 230 pounds. He's strong — he can lift 325 pounds above his head and smart — he's had at least a 3.0 GPA three times — but his size

Softball team ready to swing into spring season
By Joel Francis
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas softball team is heading into the weight room to train for the spring season, following its 5-0 defeat of Northwest Missouri State last Friday in the team's final game of the fall season.
Coach Tracy Bunge was impressed with DeWinter's accomplishment.
Senior Melanie DeWinter pitched a nohitter for Friday's win, giving the Javahawk an 8-2 fall record.
"I was surprised because my screwball was working, and that isn't my best pitch," said DeWinter, Bullhead, Ariz., senior. "I had some good sequences and good defense behind me."
"Friday's game was the most consistent seven innings I've seen her throw," Bunge said.
Softball
The team did not lose a game since its first tournament in Iowa City, Iowa on Sept. 18 but B
"I feel we have a positive fall," Bunge said. "We learned a lot from the two losses. Sometimes losing a game can mean a lot toward getting better in the future.
Sept. 18, but Bunge said the team learned as much from its losses as its wins
"We are by no means ready for the World Series yet," she added.
The team has its work cut out in the off season.
"Offensively we've got to get better at hitting people in," Bunge said. "This is something we struggled with last year. It's part physical, part mental and requires hitters having a plan when they approach the plate. Defensively we need to keep getting better at routine plays and our consistency."
The spring season opens on Feb. 13 with games against Fresno State and Arizona State in the Arizona State Invitational Tournament in Tempe, Ariz.
Bunge said. "To beat the best, you've go to play the best. Both schools had good teams last year and are expected to be good again this year. It will be an early test of our ability."
DeWinter said she had high expectations for the team.
"It will be a good challenge for us,"
"I feel better about this fall than last year," she said. "There's room for improvement, but this is my senior year, and I'm going to make the most of it. The team looks awesome, and the new girls have fit in so well. We just need to pick up where we left off last spring."

Kansas seeks inspiration from U.S. World Cup champs

SOCCER

The United States women's World Cup championship team arrived in Kansas City, Mo., on Monday afternoon and is having open practice sessions through today. Tomorrow, the team will play Finland in an exhibition game at 7 p.m. at Arrowhead Stadium, following a game between Brazil and South Korea.
This may be the most important week for women's soccer ever in Kansas, and the Kansas soccer team has some big plans.
By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's soccer team will be there.
"We all watched it on TV and some of us went to the World Cup games in the summer, but just to be there in person and see the pros do it, and to be there as a team [will be fun]," she
Junior midfielder Katie Lents said she was looking forward to watching the professionals.
said.
Since the U.S. team won the World Cup this summer, interest in the game has grown as well, which Lents said has helped boost support for Jayhawk soccer.
"When we're up on campus in our soccer sweatshirts, people come up and are like 'Oh, you play soccer,' and they're really interested in it because the World Cup was so big in the U.S. this summer." Lents said.
This weekend the Jayhawks will join the show.
Two pivotal games lie ahead for Kansas, first against Oklahoma State at 4 p.m. on Friday at SuperTarget Field and Sunday against Oklahoma at 1 p.m. Both games are must-win's for the Jayhawks in their quest for a first-ever Big 12 Conference tournament berth. In addition, two wins this weekend would set a new team record for wins in a season with eight. The current record of seven was set in both the 1996 and 1997 seasons.
"It's a huge week for us," said Coach Mark Francis. "It is parents week for us, so all of the parents will be in town. This weekend will make or break our season. We need to win both games."
The Jayhawks are in a four-way race for the tournament's final bid, competing with Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Sunday's win against Texas Tech gave Kansas the tie-breaker advantage against the Red Raiders, and wins this weekend would do the same against both Oklahoma schools
The win against Texas Tech also served as a confidence booster for the Jayhawks as they head into a crucial part of the conference season.
"It was such a great feeling just to win [a conference game]," Lents said.
"Everyone was smiling, everyone was laughing. We were so excited. I think we're going to remember that feeling and come out against Oklahoma and hopefully, whup on them."

'Hawks should tune into fan suggestions
The results are in. I've got suggestions from readers for the intro music at Memorial Stadium.
First off, one more suggestion from me,
then some reader suggestions:
To promote the thought that the Jayhawks are steadily getting better, I suggest "One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces" by Ben Folds Five. The song is about a guy who starts out getting picked on but eventually takes charge.
I'm mainly happy because everyone stayed away from the clicked sports songs. No suggestions for "Rock and Roll Part 2" by Gary Glitter from my readers. They're way too creative to settle for the "Du-na-puh-bh na HEY!" song.
Here are some lyrics: "Now I'm big and important, one angry dwarf and, 200 solemn faces are you. If you really want to see me, check the papers and the TV, look who's telling who what to do. Kiss my ass...goodly."
Jayhawk, keep that in mind when you play Kansas State. K-State loves to run the score up on us. Wouldn't it be fun to steal their thunder and stomp them?
Now, some reader suggestions:
Billy Maxton gets the "Best-Overall Suggestion" Jonesy award for his idea.
He thinks the Hawks should play Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time..."
Not only is that good for a song suggestion, but maybe we also could show her video at the same time on the MegaVision. Yeah, Britney is smokin' hot. I don't care if she is only 17. She looks good in that video.
Kelly Harvey gets the "I-know-how-to-get-my-name-in-the-

paper Jonesey" with her suggestion. She wants to hear Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me" because the team "needs some sweetness to their game." OK, Kelly.
But why does she get the name-in-paper award? The e-mail goes on: "I just want to say I thoroughly enjoy Jones" column. It's the most entertaining thing I read all day."
Yeah! My new favorite reader is Miss Harvey. Thanks for the compliment. And Kelly? You can call me Jonesey.
Uh… J.R.? They already play "Hells Bells." In fact, I'm pretty sure that AC/DC is the only CD they've invested in so far.
The "Go-to-a-Game" Jonesey goes to J.R. Metzen. J.R. thinks the team should play AC/DC's "Hells Bells."
Have you heard of H.A.W.K. Club? It's the new club set up to support Kansas athletics.
It's okay, JR. Last game, nobody showed. A grenade could have been thrown in some parts of the stadium, and no one would have been injured.
Which allows me to shift gears and bring up a more serious point. Do students give a darn about their football team?
Michael Henry, H.A.W.K. Club founder told me about what was available to its members. For $15 they get a T-shirt, admission to a couple tailgate parties, HAWK Talk, which is a sit down conversation with Coach Allen, e-mails from the coaching staff giving scouting reports on games and great seats at the games, right on the 40-yard line behind the away team.
Henry told me that last game, after the first Southern Methodist touchdown, one of their players taunted the group. From then on, they had a target. It's always fun yelling at a giant mean-looking guy that you usually would cower from if you saw him in a shady bar.
Ryan Gerstner, H.A.W.K. Club member, told me that sitting with the group was the best way to watch a layawk game.
"It's lots of fun, and it gets rowdy," he said. "Another great thing is that you can show up five minutes before the game and still get great seats."
The next home game is Oct. 23. Wouldn't it be nice to have a huge group of students all wearing the same color and heckling the evil known as Mizzou?

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 7.
Your mood's playful, but you've got a serious task at hand. Goofing off now is not a good idea. The consequences of your inattention could be costly. So, stiffel! Wait 'till the weekend to get rowdy!
You get to relax. Things that you didn't even organize will go your way. Somebody could give you a gift even though it's not your birthday! Prepare a special treat, just to get things started right.
Taurus: Today is an 8.
Gemini: Today is an 8
The good news is in romance. You're attracting positive attention. The bad news is that you're getting cross-examined by a neat freak! Don't argue with that one. Hire him or her instead.
Cancer: Todav is an 8
Does your living room need a new look? You don't need to buy a new couch. You could reupholster the old one. Don't know how? Well, this is a great day to learn. Modify that example to fit whatever's really going on in your life and proceed.
Leo: Today is a 6
People want you to like them, so some of them will do almost anything. Don't take advantage of their weakness, though. You'd hate yourself in the morning. If you're going to request a favor, think of a way to pay for it.
Virgo: Today is an 8
You're looking good, and you're also smart. You know the ropes, or you're learning quickly. You're always watching out for other people, but today, do something nice for yourself. You've earned it.
Libra: Today is a 6
You need to be your own biggest critic today. Don't let yourself get away with shoddy work. Don't spend too much, either. You know how much that would be even if you don't want to admit it.
Scorpio: Today is an 8
You don't really like to be told what to do. You'd rather have that conversation take place the other way around. You could get some excellent coaching today, however, if you relax and listen. It might be fun.
Capricorn: Today is a 9
C
There's a bit of a conflict today. You want to play, but that could cause problems. A little mistake could make a huge difference. It wouldn't be so important, except that this one could hit you right in the pocketbook. Take care.
LAWRENCE
Pisces: Today is an 8
Aquarius: Todav is a 6
You are in the right place at the right time. There are a couple of barriers, but you're going over them like an Olympic athlete going over hurdles. Quickly, with grace and ease. Bravo!
You should be in a pretty good mood. A person who's generally rather frustrating could seem somewhat amusing instead. No need to argue. Your opinions won't change. Listen instead, and you both may learn something.
What should you do? Spend the money on practical matters or a fun-filled adventure? A new vacuum cleaner or a trip to Fantasy Island? Hmmmm. Maybe you can find a good used vacuum at a swap meet.

NCAA revokes Virginia basketball scholarship
COLLEGE BASKETBALL
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — The NCAA revoked a basketball scholarship from Virginia for the 2000-01 season because of recruiting infractions
The NCAA deemed the violations secondary, meaning they provided a limited recruiting or competitive advantage because they occurred after the prospect had signed letters
of intent to attend Virginia.
The NCAA said yesterday a former coach arranged for a university basketball supporter to rent an apartment to a prospect in early 1996. The NCAA and the university would not identify the coach and prospect, but Jeff Jones was the coach at the time.
The arrangement included a $50 deposit and monthly rent of $200. However, rent was not paid for the short duration of the arrangement, the NCAA said.
Another supporter of Virginia athletics provided the prospect with legal expenses, impermissible transportation, lodging, meals, spending money and other benefits totaling about $14,000, the NCAA said.
NFL great sentenced after battery conviction
LOS ANGELES — NFL great Jim Brown, convicted of smashing his wife's车 with a shovel, was sentenced yesterday to probation and ordered to receive batterer's counseling, perform community service and pay $1,700 to aid domestic violence victims.
Defense attorney William Grayson told Hollywood Municipal Court Judge Dale Fischer that Brown, who was not present, would not accept any domestic violence counseling and was appealing the sentence

The 63-year-old Hall of Famer was convicted last month of misdemeanor vandalism but was acquitted of a misdemeanor charge of making a terrorist threat against his wife, Monique, 25, during a June 15 dispute at their home that led her to call police.
Fischer gave Brown 36 months of probation, ordered him to complete a batterer's counseling program and spend 40 days working with the Hollywood Beautification Team or 400 hours of community service with a choice of court supervision or internship.

Denver back eager to replace league MVP
DENVER — Don't be misled by the silver stud piercing through Derek Loville's right nostril or the nipple ring under his shirt. He is not the anti-Terrell.
In fact, the man who will replace MVP running back Terrell Davis does not crave attention and may be one of the most disciplined members of the Denver Broncos' backfield.
"I'm in the weight room every day," Loville said. "I've put in work just like the next man."
With Davis out for the season with two torn ligaments and cartilage damage in his right knee, Loville will be called upon to handle the bulk of the rushing duties.
While no one can be expected to put up Davis' numbers, Loville has spent the last three years as Davis' understudy, capably filling in when

Former Oklahoma All-American dies
SPIRO, Okla. — Rod Shatee, a two-time All-American linebacker for Oklahoma, has died after a long illness. He was 46.
Shoate died Monday at his home. Services will be tomorrow at Mt. Triumph Baptist Church in nearby Fort Coffee.
Shoate was an All-American in
1973 and 1974. He later played with the New England Patriots and in the United States Football League
At Oklahoma, Shoate had 420 career tackles, ranking him third on the school's career list. He led the Sooners in tackles in 1972, 1973 and 1974.
During Shoate's playing days, former Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer called him the best linebacker to do a Sona uniform.
He played for Sooners teams that went 29-4-1 and won the 1974 national championship. Shoate finished seventh in the Heisman Trophy voting as a senior in 1974 and was one of four finalists for the Lombardi Award that year.

Hawks forward fails to show for camp
Now it's time to pay up again.
"I've learned from my mistakes and I've paid for my mistakes," Rider said a couple of months ago at his first news conference with the Atlanta Hawks.
ATLANTA — Isaiah Rider claims to have matured during six mercurial years in the NBA.

Rider added to his extensive résumé of malfeasance when he failed to show up for the first workout of training camp yesterday. He also missed the Hawks' mandatory media gathering Monday, plus a team dinner and team meeting Monday night.
"I left a message this morning on his cell phone," Hawks general manager Pete Babcock said yesterday at the camp in Chattanooga, Tenn.
Babcock said he knew he was taking a serious risk when he traded Steve Smith to Portland as part of a four-player deal that included Rider.
"We expected there to be some rocky moments," he said, adding.
"We didn't want to start that way."

Fontenot helps team in many facets
Continued from page 1B
He volunteered to switch to fullback during the 1998 season because of lack of depth at that position, but he misses playing linebacker dearly.
"If I was four inches taller, I would be playing linebacker somewhere," he said. "I always thought I would be a linebacker."
But now he has to live with his blocking duties in the offensive backfield and the occasional big hit. Special teams allow Fontenot to relive his defensive days, the big hits are something that he cherishes.
"When I hit them, it sure does feel good," he said.
"But you have to take what you're given and roll with it."
He said that he'll miss football, but he can't wait to begin his career in law enforcement. The internship has been exactly what Fonteen expected: challenging and intense. He can't even discuss what he does during his internship, but that just adds to the mystique.
Though some might view the career choice as a little crazy itself, crazy and intense wouldn't be anything new to Fontenot.
He thinks people have to be a little crazy to play football, so why not carry-over to a chosen profession?

"Every play in football is intense," he said.

"You may have a slow day in the agency, then when you get off, something intense might happen.
I'm glad that it's like that, it makes you think quick, just like in football."

Missouri violations still unclear
The Associate Press
The NCAA has notified the Missouri athletics department of its ruling regarding alleged recruiting violations for the basketball team, but university officials weren't saying what that ruler was last night.
According to the college sports governing organization, Missouri has been notified of its decision. But under law, only the school can release the information to the public.
Athletics Director Mike Alden didn't immediately return calls last night, and a spokesman for the school's sports information department said he wasn't sure when an announcement would be made.
Meanwhile, a senior NCAA official who had said Missouri had nothing to worry about, wasn't talking about the Tigers anymore.
NCAA membership services, told The Kansas City Star that possible recruiting violations would not stop new men's basketball coach Quin Snyder's first two recruits from play.
Steve Mallonee, the director of
ing at Missouri.
ing at Missouri.
But in a brief conversation with The Associated Press yesterday afternoon, Mallonee said he had no time to
answer any questions and had said all he was going to say, referring the matter instead to NCAA spokeswoman Jane Jankowski.
Mallonee told The Star that while the eligibility of Detroit basketball prospects Rickey Paulding and Arthur Johnson was not really in his jurisdiction, he had been at the NCAA long enough to know that Missouri could continue to recruit these
individuals.
"It won't be a matter that the university will have to cease recruitment of the individual(s)," Mallonee told The Star. He said the violation was not severe enough to warrant their permanent ineligibility from attending and playing at Missouri.
"It's as simple as that," Mallonee said.
Alden notified the NCAA last Friday that the university may have violated recruiting rules by allowing the mothers of the Detroit basketball prospects to join their sons on a chartered plane to Columbia, Mo.
If Missouri did violate NCAA rules while recruiting the pair, the school will have to declare them ineligible to play for the Tigers. Missouri can then apply to the NCAA, seeking their reinstatement.
While Missouri and the NCAA can not comment, it appears
from the report the school sent to the NCAA Friday that both recruits already have been declared ineligible, and that Missouri is seeking their reinstatement.
If Missouri did break recruiting rules, it would be considered a secondary violation. Such an infaction, Mallonee told The Star, most likely wouldn't result in the recruits' temporary ineligibility status becoming permanent — meaning Missouri still could sign Paulding and Johnson.
"In theory, until that gets taken care of or cleared up, the prospects are not eligible to play there." Mallonee told The Star. "In most cases, again, it's as simple as the institution acknowledges the violation, they seek reinstatement. The reinstatement will occur with some conditions, or whatever the conditions imposed by the committee, and then the institution will continue to recruit the kid."
Watson leads Challenge team to win
Event features PGA, LPGA, Senior golfers
The Associated Press
TUCKER'S TOWN, Bermuda — Tom Watson won a closest-to-the-pin playoff with a tee shot that stopped 6 feet, 2 inches from the hole, leading his team of Dottie Pepper and Graham Marsh to victory yesterday in the Gillette Tour Challenge.
Watson, Pepper and Marsh each won $165,000 in the third annual event that featured eight teams made up of players from the PGA, LPGA and Senior tours.
In a best-ball format at Mid Ocean Golf Club, Watson made an eagle on the 15th as his team went 7-under during the final eight holes to finish at 12-under 59 and get into the playoff against Jeff Sluman, Nancy Lopez and Dana Quigley.
"We were only 4-under after 10, and then we put on the afterburners," Watson said. "We had a powwow on 14 and decided that we could shoot some birdies and win this tournament, and that's what we did."
The playoff was a closest-to-the-pin on the 208-yard 17th hole. Sluman hit his tee shot 12 feet from the hole. He, Lopez and Quigley each won $105,000 from
the $1.95 million purse.
"We went to sleep in the middle of the round, but Tom got everyone together and told us we could win this thing," Marsh said. "That's what great players do."
John Daly picked up his biggest check of the year — $60,000. He played with Karrie Webb and Hugh Baiocchi and tied for fifth.
ABC Sports will telewise the tournament Nov. 28. Gillette will present a $1 million donation to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, the official charity of the LPGA Tour.
"We had a pow-wow on 14 and decided that we could shoot some birdies and win this tournament, and that's what we did."

Coming Presidents Cup can't compare to Ryder
Love, American team climb out of sand pit ready for South Africa
The Associate Press
"I can't get enough of it," he gushed.
Not a day passed at the Buick Challenge that Love didn't have an occasion to talk about the Ryder Cup, whether he was on the range or inside the ropes.
On his flight home from the Ryder Cup, Davis Love III read every word in every story in the Boston newspapers about the great American comeback. He flew to Florida the next morning and read them all again.
But all it takes is one question for that boyish glee to be replaced with a furrowed brow. A guy who could spin yarns about the thrill of winning the Ryder Cup suddenly hit a snag as he contemplated what lies ahead. What does this do to the President's Cup?
Love stared at the ground, puffed his cheeks and let the air out slowly.
"Whew," he finally said. "I have
to be careful here."
Love walks a fine line because he is a member of the PGA Tour policy board, and the Presidents Cup is a PGA Tour creation.
Still, there was no denying what took place at The Country Club. The excitement, the passion and the pressure — even the boorish behavior by the Boston gallery — exposed the Ryder Cup as the greatest spectacle in golf, one of the greatest events in all sports.
And it may have exposed the Presidents Cup as an exhibition.
"It's a great event," Love said. "But it's not as exciting as the Ryder Cup. You can see that in the players, and you can see that in the fans."
Some might argue you can see it in the results, too. Just 10 months ago, an uninspired American team trudged down to Australia and got beaten like never before.
"Being in December, there were some guys on the team — and I'm on that list, too — that maybe weren't there 100 percent," said Justin Leonard, who was 0-3-1 at Royal Melbourne and didn't make any 45-foot putts.
"We wanted to play well and we wanted to win," he said. "But
there wasn't the excitement as a team that we had for the Ryder Cup this year."
So, did the Ryder Cup hurt the Presidents Cup?
"In a way, yes," Leonard replied.
To what degree remains to be seen.
"The Presidents Cup is a happier contest," said Peter Thomson, who returns as the International captain next year. "That's undeniable. There are no threats, no ugliness."
Indeed, the gallery was exemplary at Royal Melbourne. They were knowledgeable and respectful. They cheered long and loud for the home team, but also applauded the few great shots produced by the Americans.
There are compelling issues involving the 2000 Presidents Cup at the Robert Trent Jones Club in Virginia. Can the Americans remain undefended on home soil? Can they win back the one professional cup they no longer have?
"Part of it was they were beating us so badly." Leonard said. "There was probably some pity in their applause."
"I have a view that the International team could be the equal of the U.S. team — and much, much better than the European team," Thomson said. "I know everyone in the International lineup is very keen to make a point that we've been overlooked as a third force in the world of golf. This team may lay claim to being top dog."
Nick Price, Ernie Els & Co. from worldwide bragging rights?
What happens after next year is the real dilemma.
Can they keep Greg Norman,
That's when the Presidents Cup moves to South Africa, another long trip after another long season. And for what? As Lanny Wadkins noted about the previous Presidents Cup, the Americans flew halfway around the world to play a bunch of guys from Orlando.
Tiger Woods and David Duval will be playing on their sixth team. It could be the 11th straight team for Love.
"There are guys on our team who don't want to go to South Africa in 2002," Love said. "Before they announce another captain, we need to say, 'Look. We need to expand this to get another team involved.'"

Texas Tech upset secures coach's job
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan writerswriter
Texas Tech coach Spike Dykes had his back against the proverbial wall.
In the two weeks prior to his team's game with Texas A&M last Saturday, the Red Raiders had endured an embarrassing home loss to North Texas, learned that star running back Ricky Williams would be out for the season, and Dykes was looking at the buzzards circling around his job.
After Saturday's 21-19 upset of the then-No.5 Aggies, however, all seemed well in Red Raider land.
The Texas Tech community was
F
back on the Red Raider bandwagon, tearing down the goal posts at Jones Stadium for the first time in Dykes' 16-year tenure. Relatively unknown running back Sammy Morris, who filled in for Williams, rushed for 170 yards and was named the Big 12 Conference's offensive player of the week.
But, perhaps most importantly,
Dvkes will keep his job. For now.
"We had a good evening to say the least," Dykes said.
After the loss to North Texas, speculation circled around the local media that Dykes would be fired. Much of that talk has been silenced by Saturday's victory, but Dykes still knows his job could be in ieopardy.
"I know the soothsayers are out there." Dykes said. "But you've just got to focus on what's ahead of you and not get distressed."
оSu
you and not what's behind you."
The Red Raiders play 2-2 Oklahoma State Saturday in Stillwater, Okla., and a Texas Tech disappointment is possible.
"I think a let-down is a real problem," Dykes said. "If you're not careful, you
can't get ready to play the next week."
The Cowboys have not beaten the Red Raiders since 1989. Dykes said that Oklahoma State would be a tough test for his team. The Cowboys have not won since Sept. 11, and Dykes said he knew Oklahoma State would be searching for a victory on Saturday.
"We have to get ready for an Oklahoma State team that is going to be really hard to beat," Dykes said. "They have their backs to the wall a little bit, so we had better be ready to play."
For Dykes, that sounds all too familiar.
Colorado
Rumors swirled in Boulder, Colo., this week about the suspension of quarterback Taylor Barton for the Buffaloes' season opener against Colorado State.
Yesterday, the Denver Rocky Mountain News reported that an anonymous Colorado official stated that Barton's suspension was because of his illegal telephone calls to recruits. Barton told the newspaper that he had obtained the recruits' telephone numbers during their recruiting visits to Boulder, Colo. and called the recruits after former coach Rick Neuheisel quit in January before the school had hired
current head man Gary Barnett
GU
If Barton did make the telephone calls after Neuheisel's departure and Barnett's arrival, no
"We want to see how it works out," Barnett said.
ROAA rules would have been violated. In other Colorado quarterback news, Barnett has moved former quarterback Adam Bledsoe to tight end in an experimental move.
Bledsoe, the younger brother of New England Patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe, was a highly-touted quarterback recruit from Yakima, Wash., but was operating as the Buffaloes' third string quarterback.

Wildcats make quarterback switch
Team readjusts before game against Jayhawks
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Kansas State's quarterback shuffle is back where it began, but the offense will be without leading rusher Frank Murphy when the No. 9 Wildcats play Kansas Saturday.
After being replaced as the starter by Adam Helm against Texas last week, Jonathan Beasley won back his job on the field. Coach Bill Snider said.

Helm's two touchdown performance helped the Wildcats engineer a 35-28 comeback against Iowa State, but he com-
Snyder said Frank Murphy wasn't expected to play against the Jayhawks because of a sprained ankle he suffered against Texas.
Murphy broke his foot in summer conditioning drills, but returned for Kansas State's opener against Temple. He has rushed for 450 yards this season, averaging 6.9 yards per carry. He leads the team in rushing touchdowns with four.
"It definitely hurts the team," sophomore wide receiver Aaron Lockett said about Murphy's injury. "He's such a great athlete. He brings size, strength and speed. We've had opportunities to work out David Allen at running back. I think we will have the same confidence that we had before."
Paterno rides Penn State during bye
The Associated Press
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Penn State is 5-0 and ranked No. 2. That hasn't stopped Coach Joe Paterno from declaring them stupid, taking them to task for too many fumbles and threatening personnel changes.
"We're undisciplined and sometimes just plain dumb," he gripped last week following four days of idle-week practices.

With the season's only week off followed by this Saturday's visit to 1-3 Iowa, the timing seemed right for some old-fashioned abuse.
"I have not been critical of their effort," Paterno said yesterday. "I've been critical of them because I think they've
been careless."
Paterno is talking about a few troubling trends:
The offensive line has given up a conference-worst 19 sacks for 98 yards in losses. The defense only has gotten to the opposing quarterback 11 times, third-to-last in the Big Ten.
The Lions have fumbled 17 times - 3.4 time a game — and lost six, second-worst in the Big Ten Conference.
They've been flagged for 29 penalties for 253 yards.
depend on the running game, averaging only 127 yards in the past three games.
On Friday, Paterno had them on the field at 6 a.m., although players said they asked for it so they could leave early for the weekend.
"We worked very hard, and I think we got a lot out of it," said tailback Eric McCoo. "We made some changes as far as how we run the ball, when we run the ball, aiming points for running backs and linemen trying to get on the same page."

he'd probably go with Farmer.
"I'm quite satisfied with the way it's going right now," said Coach Larry Smith yesterday. "As long as they can continue to produce, that's what it's all about."
"Jimmy us us started," Smith said.
"He's very steady, good on his checks."
Kirk Farmer, a redshirt freshman, has the better numbers thus far, going 25-for-53 for 331 yards and seven touchdowns, with three interceptions. He's also com-
Jim Dougherty, a sophomore, has started all four games and is 25-for-45 for 276 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Smith said Dougherty's best asset is getting the Tigers (3-1), who play this week at Colorado, off smoothly.
The combination has worked out well, to Smith's way of thinking.
Smith said if he had time to mix up the run and pass, he'd probably go with
"Kirk's got to learn to get off to a quick start and Jimmy needs to be a finisher," Smith said. "They both have some work to do if they want to be a complete quarterback."
The Colorado game Saturday at Boulder, Colo., begins a rough finishing stretch of seven straight Big 12 Conference games for Missouri.

Astros win curbs playoff jinx
Leadoff homer seals 6-1 victory
ATLANTA — Daryle Ward, who started the season in Triple-A, is making a big impact in October for the Houston Astros.
Ward's leadoff homer against Greg Maddux in the sixth inning yesterday sent the Astros on their way to a 6-1 victory against the Atlanta Braves in Game 1 of the National League division series.
The win provided hope that Houston would end its history of playoff failures and was a troubling start for a team with its own postseason struggles.
The Astros sealed the victory in the ninth with four runs against reliever Mike Remlinger. Carl Everett had a sacrifice fly before
Ken Caminiti haunted the Braves again with a three-run homer.
The NL East champion Braves, making their eighth straight postseason appearance, lost only their second division series game since the format was instituted in 1995. Before yesterday, they were 12-1 overall, including 10 straight victories.
Houston, which clinched its third straight Central title on the final day of the season, never has won in five playoff series, including a 3-0 sweep by the Braves in 1997. The Astros won't get swept this year, seizing the home-field advantage in the best-of-five series.
Of course, the home field was not much of an advantage to the Braves, who led the majors with 103 wins but drew the smallest crowd in Atlanta's 44-game postseason history.
The turnout of 39,119 was nearly
11,000 short of capacity at Turner Field and easily eclipsed the previous low of 42,117 for Game 1 of the 1998 NL championship series. In the right-field upper deck, only a few dozen people occupied seven sections of blue seats.
Ward, the son of former major leaguer Gary Ward, was recalled from the minors for the second time on July 20. He replaced the slumping Derek Bell and doubled in the first three runs Sunday of a 9-4 victory against Los Angeles, securing the division title.
Maddux was 19-9 during the regular season and had the same record lifetime against the Astros with a 2.30 ERA. But he also surrendered a career-high 258 hits, a trend that continued in the division series.

Williams, showing why the Yankees paid $87.5 million to keep him, had a two-run double off Aaron Sele in the fifth, a three-run homer off Mike Venafro in the sixth and an RBI single off Jeff Fassero in the eighth.
Texas has just one run in its last 42 innings in the playoffs, all against New York and has lost seven straight postseason games since beating the Yankees in the Rangers' first one, in 1996.
NEW YORK—Talk about instant replay.
Picking up right where they left off last October, the New York Yankees blanked Texas yet again, with Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez allowing two hits in eight innings and Bernie Williams driving in six runs as the World Series champions beat the Rangers 8-0 yesterday in their American League playoff opener.
The Associated Press
After that, Hernandez allowed only a single by Rodriguez in the third.
Texas mounted its best threat in the first inning, loading the bases on a out-out double by Ivan Rodriguez and walks to Rusty Greer and Rafael Palmeiro. But Hernandez got out of it by striking out Todd Zeile to end the inning.
While Texas has led the American League in hitting for two straight years, the Rangers haven't scored a single run in their past 22 postseason innings.
Yankee Stadium tomorrow, with Andy Pettitt (14-11) pitching for New York against Rick Helling (13-11).
This year, the Yankees' record slipped a league-high 16 wins to 89-64, creating doubt as to whether they were strong enough to win their third Series title in four years.
But "El Duque" roped the Rangers and improved to 3-0 with a 0.41 ERA in postseason play (one run in 20 innings). Jeff Nelson followed with a hitless ninth.

Tropical depression engulfs Mexico
Thousands evacuate because of flooding
The Associated Press
VILLAHERMOSA, Mexico—With a new tropical depression hanging in the lower Gulf of Mexico, officials warned thousands of people to abandon their homes in expectation of more storms and flooding that already have killed at least five people.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said the season's 11th tropical depression was nearly stationary on Monday, centered about 150 miles east of Veracruz in the Gulf of Campeche.
In Tabasco state, four rivers have flooded their banks and 53,000 people have had to flee their homes since Saturday. Officials said that dams along the rivers were full and could not be used to cut the flow of floodwater.
"Due to the situation, the population is alerted to take extreme precautions and if necessary, evacuate the areas," said Tabasco state spokeswoman Addy Garcia Lopez.
reach 600 shelters on higher ground. Schools were closed indefinitely in 144 communities along the two rivers.
The army deployed troops along the Grijalva and Usumancita rivers in Tabasco to help refugees
Three people died in Tabasco, including a 6-year-old boy who fell into a swollen river in a town near Villahermosa, the state capital. In Veracruz, a teen-ager and a taxi driver were killed while trying to ford a river on foot.
Mexico's transportation secretariat said Monday that 16 ports along Mexico's eastern coast were closed to small vessels while the port of Dos Bocas in Veracruz state was closed to large vessels as well.
Officials warned thousands of people to abandon their homes in Villahermosa, Mexico.

Link to be established in West Bank, Gaza
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM—Ayman Lubedeb hasn't been home to the Gaza Strip to see his parents and siblings in six years.
Lubedeh, 29, lives with his wife and son in the West Bank, where he works at a hospital in Ramallah. Israel has refused to let him cross its territory to get to Gaza, citing security concerns, and Lubedeh has had to make do with frequent phone calls home. His family even missed his wedding two years ago.
That will soon change. Israel and the Palestinians agreed yesterday to establish a land link between the West Bank and Gaza.
The 28-mile route through Israel will enable Palestinians to travel relatively freely between the two areas they control for the first time.
boosting prospects for eventual statehood.
Israeli and Palestinian negotiators signed an agreement yesterday on how to operate the so-called safe passage that is to open next week. Despite last-minute disputes and delays — the route was to have opened last week — both sides said the agreement helped improve relations after three years of deadlock.
The land route is part of the latest interim peace accord reached in September under which Israel must give 11 percent of the West Bank to Palestinian rule and release 350 security prisoners, in exchange for Palestinian security measures.

Leaders in Israel and Palestine agreed to establish a safe passage between the areas they control.
Israel's Prisons Authority said yesterday it was set to release the second group of prisoners — a total of 151 inmates — by tomorrow, one day ahead of schedule.
The safe passage will give the Palestinians, especially the 1 million residents of fenced-in Gaza, greater freedom of movement.
Jason Williams/KANSAI
Until now, permits to travel through Israel were difficult to obtain and were usually valid for
only a few days. Large groups of peo ple were ineligible, including young single men and those once held on suspicion of anti-Israeli activity.
Under the new arrangement, everyone is eligible in principle, though Israel reserves the right to turn down applicants. Former Palestinian security detainees, who in the past would have been unable to make the trip, can now travel twice a week in special buses, under Israeli police escort.
Palestinians also will be allowed to use their own cars for the first time.
The route, extending from the West Bank village of Tarkoumiya to Gaza's Erez Crossing, will be open daily from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Palestinian will apply for one-year permits to the Palestinian Authority, which will present the names to Israel for final approval.
Fed leaves interest rates alone with no sign of an increase
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—The Federal Reserve, faced with a booming economy but no signs of inflation, decided yesterday not to raise interest rates but left open the possibility of a third rate increase later this year.
The Fed policy-makers moved their policy directive, which signals the future course of interest rates, from neutral to one tilting toward a rate increase.
The Fed's action was conveyed in a brief statement after the closed-door meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee, the central bank's interest-setting panel.
By leaving interest rates unchanged, the federal funds rate, the interest that banks charge each other on overnight loans, continues to stand at 5.25 percent.
The decision to leave rates unchanged had been widely expected. Wall Street has staged a strong rally during the past two days on investors' expectations that rates would remain steady.
Investors reacted nervously to the announcement. The Dow Jones average lost an earlier 106-point gain almost immediately and was sliding downward a half-hour later.
For the second time this year, the central bank decided not to raise rates while announcing a switch in its policy directive from a neutral stance to one leaning toward a rate increase in the future.
"The growth of demand has continued to outpace that of supply as evidenced by a decreasing pool of available workers willing to take jobs. In these circumstances, the Federal Open Market Committee
will need to be especially alert in the months ahead to the potential for costs to increase significantly," the Fed said in a statement.
The brief statement emphasized that the switch did not signal an imminent increase. A decision to raise rates in the future would be based on upcoming economic data on growth and inflation, the policymakers said.
Many private economists were expecting the central bank to take a pass on raising interest rates at yesterday's meeting. But they aren't ruling out the possibility of higher rates before year's end.
Many analysts believed the Fed would leave rates unchanged, because inflation had remained well-behaved despite strong economic growth and an unemployment rate remaining at a 29-year low.
They also noted that Greenspan and other Fed officials had given no solid sign of an impending interest rate increase, something that's usually done. Instead, they have struck a more dovish tone, indicating they have seen few signs of inflation even with rapid economic growth.
Although growth slowed in the second quarter to an anemic 1.6 percent annual rate, many economists believe that was a temporary lull. They are looking for a growth rate of 4 percent in both the third and fourth quarters.
Given that, many economists believe the Fed may raise rates this year by a quarter of a point when it meets on Nov. 16, depending on what a fresh round of economic data released between now and then.

Jayhawks expect battle from 6-8 Oklahoma
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportwriter
Coming off its biggest win of the early season, the Kansas volleyball team hopes to carry momentum into tonight's 7 p.m. showdown with the Oklahoma Sooners in Norman, Okla.
This will be the Jayhawks' first match since they gained their first-ever win against Texas Tech on Saturday night. The victory pushed Kansas to 11-4 overall and 2-2 in the Big 12 Conference — the first time since 1993 that the Jayhawks have been at .500 after four conference games.
"They're going to be hungry for a win," said Kansas senior blocker Anne Kreimer. "They've got some quality players, so we're going to have to be at the top of our game."
Enter the Oklahoma Sooners, who are 6-8 overall, 1-3 in the Big 12 and plagued by a two-match losing streak.
The Jayhawks are 12-37 all-time against Oklahoma but are riding a two-match winning streak against the Sooners. Last year, Kansas beat Oklahoma 3-1 in Norman, and 3-2 in Lawrence.
"Oklahoma is going to want to beat us," said Kansas junior hitter Nancy Bell. "Last year we went there and we were the underdog, and we took control. I'm sure they're going to be remembering that, and they're going to come ready to play."
KANSAS
52
The Sooners are led by junior middle blocker Cathy Cook, who has 150 kills and 37 blocks for the year. Setter Carolyn Kittell leads the team with 573 assists and 114 digs this season.
The Sooners' two-match losing streak includes a loss at Missouri in a five-game thriller last week and a 3-1 loss against No. 7 Texas on Saturday.
"They're coming off some frustrating losses," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "It's a point in time when people are trying to make their moves to stay in the (Big 12) race. I'm sure they're going to do everything in their power to stay in the race and so are we."
Kansas was strong all-around in the win against Texas Tech on Saturday before a crowd of 939 fans at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. The Jayhawks pounded the Red Raiders for a 3-1 victory, as senior outside hitter Mary Beth Albrecht picked up a career-high 23 kills. Senior middle blocker Amanda Reves had 17 kills and Kreimer had a career-high 11 digs and nine block assists.
"I think the win was definitely a confidence booster," Kreimer said. "At this point in the season, that was something we really needed to go forward." Vollebv ball notes
Kansas freshman setter Amy Billings has yet to see action this season after breaking the patella in her right knee during the second practice of the season in August. After successful surgery, Billings has been practicing with the team on a limited basis. Her return to the Kansas lineup is a week-to-week decision.

Commentary
David and Goliath triumphs invoke great sports moments
Ask any college basketball fan what the most appealing thing about their favorite month of the year is — March — and why they like it.
It's a simple answer. Upsets
Upsets help make sports glorious. In some instances, upsets can send an entire sport or league to new heights. For example, the New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs upsets in Super Bowls III and IV propelled the American Football League to the same level as the NFL.
Sometimes, they can bring joy to one part of the world. Ask any current Kansas student which football game will stand out the most when they graduate, and most would say the Jayhawks 33-17 win against nationally-ranked Colorado last year, which was Kansas' first home win
against a ranked team in more than a decade.
more than a decade. The 1983 North Carolina State Wolfpack, the 1985 Villanova Wildcats and the 1988 Jayhawks all accomplished miracle runs through the NCAA men's basketball tournament that I'm sure made a few people rich.
But in retrospect, these upsets are minor in comparison to five sporting events this century that rank as the best of all time. All five

of these left fans of Goliath with a bitter taste in their mouths, fans of David jumping for joy and neutral fans with their mouths open in shock.
5. James "Buster" Douglas knocks out Mike Tyson for the heavyweight championship, Feb. 10, 1990, in Tokyo. Douglas only was supposed to be a tune-up for the undefeated champ's highly-anticipated fight with Evander Holyfield. But Douglas, a virtual unknown, bleached Tyson with punches, knocked him down for the first time in Tyson's career in the 10th round and cried tears of happiness when his trainers rushed into the ring to lift his arm signifying the new champion
4. The Soviet Union's 52-51 win in the gold-medal basketball game at the 1972 Munich Olympics. The '72 games already had been tarnished with the execution of Israel's athletes. Things turned from bad to worse when the United States, which had never lost an Olympic basketball
game, took its first lead of the game with three seconds left, 51-50. The Soviets got not one, not two, but three chances to inbound the ball to get a final shot off. They even were assessed a time-out when they had none. The Americans refused to attend the medal ceremony, and many still have not picked up their silver medals.
3. An NAIA school, Chaminade, defeats college basketball's top-ranked Virginia Cavaliers on Dec. 23, 1982, in Honolulu 77-72. The Cavaliers were led by All-American Ralph Sampson, who towered at seven feet. Chaminade's tallest player stood 6-feet-6, but the host school showed no fear and defeated Virginia. To put this in retrospect, this would be equal to Kansas losing to Kansas Wesleyan or St. Mary.
2. The United States shocks the Soviet Union in hockey 4-3 at the 1980 Lake Placid, N.Y., Winter Olympics. The Yanks, using a team of virtual unknowns and never-will-be's, were beaten by the world-champion Soviets 10-3 in a pre-Olympic game. In the semifinals, the two teams met again. But this time, the Americans played the game of their lives, and took the lead for good midway through the third period. The home crowd was cheering in a frenzy for the Americans to protect their lead. As the final few seconds ticked off the clock, ABC announcer Al Michaels provided one of the most memorable lines in sports broadcast history when he shouted to the American TV audience, "Do you believe in miracles? Ye-s-s-i." I was a miracle on ice as the United States won the gold medal by defeating Finland 4-1.
1. The United States defeats England 1-0 at the 1950 Soccer World Cup in Brazil. The English turned down offers to play in the first three World Cups because they thought they were too good to play in them. They reluctantly entered the 1950 Cup and won their first match against Chile, while the United States, which had a team made up of part-time players fell to Spain. So England decided to bench many of its best players for the game against the United States. The English dominated the game, but in the 37th minute, a Haitian-born man, Joe Gaetjens, headed in a cross from Walter Bahr, giving the United States the lead for good. When the game ended, the jubilant Brazilians stormed the field and carried off the Americans. One Brazilian newspaper ran only the score on its front page the next day.

Crowd flocks to Gould's talk
Lecture includes comments about board's decision
(USPS 650-640)
By Clay McQuiston
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
The Lied Center was stuffed to the brim last night as a capacity crowd of 2,100 turned out to see paleontologist and evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould refuse to predict the future.
Janet Crow, executive director of the Hall Center for the Humanities, which sponsored Gould's lecture, said a line began to form outside the Lied Center at 6 p.m. About 300 individuals had to be turned away after the auditorium had filled for the 8 p.m. speech.

Liberal Arts and Sciences, criticized the board's decision in her introduction of Gould.
"In my position as an educator and scientist, I thank him for his candor and for his willingness to help us here in Kansas make our arguments to those who would attempt to blur the
distinctions between science and religion and philosophy." she said.
For his part, Gould mostly ignored the evolutionary debate in favor of his prearranged topic: "Questioning the millennium: Why we cannot predict the future."
But even the silver-haired Harvard professor couldn't resist an occasional jab.
"I'm assuming, as all educated folks are, that you're going to throw out that school board at the next election," Gould said, receiving a round of applause. "I know we're all on the same side in this."
"That is the quirky and unpredictable and fascinating nature of history," he said. "There is an irreducible contingency that allows explanations but no predictions."
Gould's main message was the difficulty of predicting the future — both in human and natural terms. Citing authors from Yogi Berra to Charles Darwin, he spoke for more than 90 minutes about the randomness of the world.
Gould cautioned against the audience thinking of the human race as particularly important in a grand evolutionary scheme.
"We Homo sapiens are not the end result of a predictable lineage," he said. "We are an item of history, not a tendency."
Justin Montag, Olathe junior, said he came to the speech to hear Gould address the evolution debate — and for extra credit in his Western Civilization class.
"I was kind of hoping he'd address the recent school board issue, but it doesn't look like that's the topic," he said.
Montag arrived at the Lied Center at 7:15 p.m.
"I couldn't believe the line," he said. "It was like waiting in line for Star Wars the first day."
Tree-shaped hive welcomes bees back to campus museum

the hive. Inside the tree, the hive itself is made of eight frames, two frames deep and four frames high. The frames are placed one-fourth of an inch away from each other.
32 years has returned today. The exhibit took a break to update its appearance and accessibility, said Thomas Swearingen, director of exhibits at the museum, who has been working on the bee exhibit for 20 years.
"The hive has gone from quite simple to quite complex," Swearingen said.
"It is important to keep each frame close to one
The bees came from fields on West Campus before they were transplanted into the exhibit last night. Orley "Chip" Taylor Jr., professor of entomology, ecology and evolutionary biology, controlled the bees as part of a teaching and research operation. The bees were removed from the museum to build the new hive.

The hive at the museum now is contained in a life-like tree composed or metal, foam and resin made by Randy Nelson at Total Enviro-Design in Madelia, Minn. The tree, complete with fake leaves, has a raccoon family standing on top and enjoying the possibility of robbing the honey from the hive.
Reflective glass panes on two sides of the tree allow observers to watch the live action inside
fill up the space with wax." Swearingen said.
Not only is the appearance different, but soon new technology will be added. The hive will have a camera inside to record the bees 24 hours a day. These images will be shown on a 32-inch monitor beside the tree and the footage also will be posted on the museum's Web site at www.NHM.ukans.edu. The bees will appear on the monitor at 20 to 50 times their real size.
"They use this kind of magnification for research, so it is exciting to have it in our hive," said Bradley Kemp, director of public affairs for the museum. The exhibit also will have on
kiosk showing video of mating, "dancing" communication and other bee facts. The footage was collected from research done by Taylor. This part of the exhibit is not completed but will not hinder the opening of the beehive itself.
"It has been a two-year struggle to get the details done," Swearingen said. "I just wanted to get the bees in there, especially before the weather turns bad."
The exhibit also will have an educational touch-screen

Committees ask Regents to enact policy against bias
By Chris Borniger
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The University of Kansas Student Senate has a bone to pick with Emporia State University President Kav Schallenkamp.
The Multicultural Affairs and Student Rights committees approved by acclamation a petition last night that would request the Board of Regents to enact a sexual orientation non-discrimination policy, effective at all Regents institutions.
Korb Maxwell, student body president and legislation sponsor, said Schalenkamp's decision last year to remove sexual orientation from Emporia State's non-discrimination policy made the petition necessary.
Last May, Emporia State drafted a companion statement to its non-discrimination policy that did include sexual orientation
However, the companion statement is not legally binding, whereas the non-discrimination policy is.
Maxwell said the petition would not change anything at the University, because it
has had a policy that included sexual orientation for almost three decades.
"The reason why it's important for us to take a stand is that we are the flagship of the Regents institutions," he said. "This is a forward-thinking policy. If the University doesn't do it, who in the state will?"
Lisa Braun, holder senator and one of the bill's co-sponsors, said getting Regents to embrace the policy could be difficult.
Maxwell also will speak in support of the proposed policy at the next Regents meeting at 9 a.m. Oct. 14 at the Adams Alumni Center. He said however toothless the petition may be, he would strongly encourage the Regents to take action on the policy.
"We can't have them just pat us on the head," Maxwell said.
"This is initiative No. 1."

October to raise breast cancer awareness
Bv Amber Stuever
writer@kansan.com
By Amber Stuever
writes@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
"You are the only one who can be in control of your body, and you know it better than anyone else does," said Susie Taylor-Meadows, a breast cancer survivor who leads the local breast cancer support group, "Bosom Buddies," and is the chairwoman of Breast Cancer Action in Lawrence.
Stephanie Weiter, cancer control staff member at the American Cancer Society in Topeka, said it was important for women to give themselves breast cancer examinations.
That is why October has been set aside as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The month aims to increase early diagnosis, and thus survival of the disease, which one in eight women someday will contract.
This year doctors in the United States will sit down with 173,000 mothers, grandmothers, daughters and friends to tell them they have breast cancer. Another 43,000 women will die of the disease.
"Women at this younger age need to get into the habit of doing self-breast exams," said Aimee Foppe, Watkins Memorial Health Center health educator. "By doing the monthly self-breast examinations, they are more aware of what their breasts look like and are more attuned to what the changes are."
exampl Although 95 percent of breast cancer cases occur in women older than 40, college women are not excluded from breast
cancer prevention, Weiter said. Women ages 20-39 should have a clinical breast examination done once three years and should do monthly self-examinations to check for abnormal, possibly cancerous lumps.
"The earlier a woman detects breast cancer, the better her odds are for surviving," Weiter said. "That's why it's important for women to do those three things."
Weiter said that the five-year survival rate for localized breast cancer had increased from 72 percent in the 1940s to 97 percent today. In the 1990s, when Breast Cancer Awareness Month began, breast cancer mortality declined by the largest amount in more than 40 years.
Women older than 40 should have annual mammograms, annual clinical breast examinations and monthly self-examinations.
Taylor-Meadows knows from personal experience the importance of an early
and correct diagnosis. She was misdiagnosed for a year before being diagnosed with breast cancer. She said she went to a new doctor in 1988 who met her at 11:15 a.m., diagnosed cancer and had her on the operating table by 1:30 p.m.
Taylor-Meadows survived her mastectomy but was angered later when listening to her breast surgeon talk about the cancer to her son's ninth-grade class.
"It was the first time I had heard the warning signs," she said. "I just sat there getting angrier and angrier because I had every one."
Taylor-Meadows blamed her misdiagnosis on poor awareness and education of doctors. Foppe said both awareness and education had improved since then.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month may help to increase awareness even more.
Breast cancer awareness is not limited to women. While rare, men do get breast cancer. They also can be instrumental in discovering lumps in women's breasts.
"Men need to be aware too," Taylor-Meadows said. "When I was diagnosed, quite a bit of breast cancers were discovered by husbands and boyfriends, so it's important for everyone to get the information."

Students should expect campus directories soon
University of Kansas phone books are making their way into offices across campus.
The directories are longer this year with a more comprehensive list of University of Kansas Medical Center numbers and e-mail addresses for faculty and staff.
Julie Swords, publications coordinator for University Relations, said it took facilities operations a couple of weeks to deliver the phone books.
"They are still delivering, but I don't know where they are at," Swords said. "It takes a couple of weeks because they have to do it around other duties."
Laura Sellers, physical plant supervisor for facilities operations, said that 500 phone books were delivered to Jayhawker Towers on Tuesday and that 1,908 phone books would be dropped off at residence halls yesterday and today.
Sellers said that offices on campus were the first to receive phone books while residence halls were the last.
Swords said the phone books were available ahead of schedule this year because they arrived seven days earlier than contracted.

Famous women begin gun safety campaign
Kennedy yesterday began a public education campaign to encourage adults to keep any guns at home unloaded, locked and away from children.
"We hope to make unloading, locking and storing guns properly as automatic as buckling a safety belt," said Kennedy, the mother of two teenagers, wife of Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., and co-founder of the nonprofit Common Sense About Kids and Guns.

Weight-loss worries linked to child smoking
CHICAGO — Children who want to lose weight are more likely to experiment with cigarettes, researchers reported in this month's issue of the journal Pediatrics.
"In both boys and girls we found children who thought about (smoking) were more likely to be concerned about their weight," said one of the study's authors, Alison Field of Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. "And those who were doing something to lose weight were more likely to smoke than those who were not." The study looked at more than
The study looked at more than 16,000 children, ages 9 to 14.
"Girls who were unhappy with their appearance were twice as likely to think about using tobacco." Field said Monday.
In 1993, the Journal of Clinical Investigation published a study that found moderate smoking helps the body burn fat. But the researchers also warned that smoking shouldn't be considered a substitute for dieting because it was a greater health risk than the added weight.

Nigerian floodwaters submerge 400 villages
LAGOS, Nigeria—Overwhelmed by rising waters on the Niger River, officials have opened floodgates of two major dams, submerging 400 villages and leaving more than 300,000 homeless, Nigeria's state power authority said.
Several hundred people were thought to have drowned after the waters were unleashed in recent days from the Jebba and Shiriro dams, some 300 miles north of Lagos, the Lagos Vanguard newspaper reported yesterday.
The state-controlled News Agency of Nigeria estimated the toll at over 500 dead, citing unnamed officials. That number could not be independently confirmed.
The floods are the result of heavy seasonal rains in neighboring countries, the power company said.
The National Electric Power Authority was forced to release the surge of water to prevent Shiriro Lake on the Niger River from overflowing its banks, the company said in a letter dated Oct. 3.
More flooding was expected as the river continues to rise.

Kentucky enforces own regulations about evolution
The Associated Press
FRANKFORT, Ky.- The word "evolution" has quietly been deleted from Kentucky's guidelines for what students should be taught, two months after Kansas created a furor when it dropped Darwin's theory as a required part of the curriculum.
The Kentucky Education Department edited out "evolution" and replaced it with the phrase "change over time."
Deputy Education Commissioner Gene Wilhoit said the word was considered a lightning rod that created a diversion from what they were teaching.
Some teachers, already nervous about what they consider an assault on a cornerstone of biology from those who favor the biblical account of creation, were amnoyed.
"They chose the less sci-
entitifically correct term and went with a more politically feasible term," Ken Rosenbaum, director of the Kentucky Science Teachers Association, said yesterday. "In science we have big words like photosynthesis. Do we not call it photosynthesis? Do we call it plant 'ood making'"
Helen Mountjoy, chairwoman of the Kentucky Board of Education, said the change would make no difference in the classroom.
"We teach evolution and we test evolution in Kentucky," she said. "There is no change in the way we expect teachers to approach this subject."
In August, the Kansas Board of Education adopted new testing standards that play down the scientific importance of evolution, including the theory that humans descended from apes and other lower species.

Drinking to be modified in some fraternities
By Lori O'Toole

Kansas staff writer
by lori O table
writer@kansan.com
Brian Wanamaker, Topeka senior, is 21 years old and enjoys drinking a beer while watching a football game or a movie in his room at the Sigma Nu fraternity house.
In less than a year, Wanamaker's Sigma Nu fraternity brothers may not be able to relax with a drink — at least not without some type of reprimand.
Sigma Nu is one of 10 University of Kansas fraternity chapters that will make the transition to alcohol-free housing or modified alcohol-free housing during the year 2000, either by choice or by persuasion from the National Interfraternity Council or national fraternity headquarters. Many will make the transition after July 31.
Modified alcohol-free housing is a policy in which alcohol is not allowed at house parties. However,
under the policy, beer is allowed in the rooms of those members 21 years old or older.
Delta Chi and Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternities already have modified alcohol-free housing policies.
The initiative at the national level, called Select 2000, was started by the National Interfraternity Council in 1994 in an effort to reduce the risk of alcohol-related accidents in fraternity houses. The organization's goal is to remove alcohol from chapter houses to make them safer.
Chace Ramey, Interfraternity Council vice president for risk management, said the organization already had begun to help the fraternities involved prepare for a smooth transition.
House presidents and some members will hold the first of several meetings Wednesday to discuss the change.
"It's a new thing for them, and they will need to use each other as a reference point," said Ramey,

Kansas City, Mo., junior.
Ramey said there had been concern on a national level about fraternity members getting to and from off-campus parties safely because they no longer would be able to drink inside their houses.
However, he said that the University would not need to be concerned with that issue, because fraternity members attending off-campus parties with alcohol must provide safe transportation, which often is provided by a rented bus or

another fraternity member serving a shift for BADD, Brothers Against Drunk Driving.
Wanamaker, Sigma Nu president,
said it seemed strange.
"I'm 21, and I feel like I have a legal right to drink a beer or whatever I choose to drink," he said. "But there are compromises and things that you lose and things that you gain by living in a arousal setting."
Wanamaker said that there would be no alcohol allowed in the house but that social functions with alcohol still would be organized off campus.
He said the transition would probably still be rough for some.
"There will always be kinks to work out," he said, "Some people think rules are made to be broken. The trick is to come out with strict enforcement of it and to educate people on the reasons of it. Alcohol is not that critical that we have to have it here."
Wanamaker said the reasons for the transition were clear.
"It will shift the focus of fraternities," he said. "On a national level, they have the reputation of purely social organizations. This will push them more towards the ideals and goals. There's also the liability issue. National organizations can't afford insurance policies for a bunch of college-aged kids drinking."
Wanamaker said he thought fraternities moving to alcohol-free housing was a trend, somewhat encouraged by sororites that have pledged on the national level not to attend fraternity-house parties where alcohol is present. There are 10 national sororites with chapters at the University that have made the pledge.

"They live 35 to 45 days in the summer, depending on the conditions," Taylor said. "And during the winter, even in the semi-warmth of the museum, the queen will stop laying eggs from around November 1 to January 20."
An antibiotic will be given to the bees to help control infection, while pest strips will help control bee mites.
"Varroa mites are associated with the transmission of five bee viruses." Taylor said. "Once these viruses get going, the colonies die quickly."
Taylor said that the exhibit was important because honeybees are the most important pollinators of crops and the most advanced social insect.
"The exhibit will help the public connect with a unique natural system and give them an understanding and apprecii-
ation of the role of pollinators in natural and human-altered environments," Taylor said.
In its 32 years, the hive has been an integral part of the museum for many generations of University of Kansas students.
"Students have seen our exhibits and love the beehive," Kemp said. "Since the old one has been gone, it has been missed and asked about."
If students want to take honey home, it won't come from the new hive. In the past, the museum gift shop sold honey from a private supplier, but the museum has tried to get honey from the hive exhibit only once.
"We found that we had to feed the bees a lot more to make up for the extraction," Swearingen said. "The bees eat their own honey. That is their food."

Professor emeritus writes capitalism book
Kansan staff writer
By Amanda Kaschube
But not Harry Shaffer.
After teaching at the University of Kansas for 43 years, most professors would enjoy retirement and stay away from the hills of campus.
Shaffer, professor of economics, officially retired 10 years ago with emeritus status but immediately returned part time to teach comparative economics and economics for non-macaus.
"I love to teach," he said. "When I was a child and I was asked what I wanted to do, I always said I wanted to make my living talking. And I still do."
In addition to teaching, Shaffer also writes books. With 10 books already under his belt, he recently released his 11th book, American Capitalism and the Changing Role of Government and will speak at 7:30 tonight at Borders, 700 New Hampshire St.
The book discusses capitalism and the government's role in the free market. Shaffer said the government needed to increase its role in social areas, such as health care, protection of the environment and welfare.
"We are last in western countries for government participation," he said.
Shaffer said that the United States was also the only country not to guarantee health care for each person.
"We're the richest country, and we can't afford it? Something is wrong," he said. "We need more government."
Frank Durgin, professor emeritus of economics at the University of Southern Maine, said the book would be a useful tool for class discussion.
"It is clearly geared to the 'intelligent lay persons' interested in exploring the myths surrounding various controversial public policy issues," he said. "I recommend it highly as a supplementary reader for ECON 101 and comparative economics courses."
Shafter also has helped attract students into economics classes, said Joseph Sicilian, chairman of the department.
In 1971, Shaffer was listed as one of the three "most popular" professors at the University in the book The Underground Guide to the College of Your Choice by Susan Berman. He also was named "best professor" in 1993 in
"He's a very popular teacher, and he gets students into the program," he said. "It's unusual for a person of his age to be so enthusiastic and energetic about teaching."
the magazine The New Times: The Voice of Kansas City.
"He retired because there was mandatory retirement at 65," Sicilian said. "We want to keep him indefinitely."
Besides receiving rave reviews from his colleagues, Shaffer also helped minorities in Lawrence gain equality in the 1960s.
As president of the Lawrence League for the Practice of Democracy, he aimed to integrate the races throughout Lawrence.
He said that on July 4,1960, he picked the Lawrence swimming pool because the pool would not let African Americans enter.
A. E. M.
"It took a few years, but now it's integrated," he said.
Shaffer said that in the 1960s many restaurants let only white people in, and several ads in The University Daily Kansan read "Whites need only apply."
"I was surprised to see that restaurants didn't admit Blacks," he said. "My organization played some role in changing it."
Shaffer said he experienced discrimination first-hand as a Jewish boy in Vienna, Austria. Shaffer left in 1938, three months after Adolf Hitler took

Through the years, Shaffer's love for teaching hasn't diminished.
"Teaching has been my life," he said. "I hope to continue forever."
Conference updates faculty on diversity
Senior fellow delivers lecture via satellite feed
By Todd Halstead writer kansasan.com
Kanson staff writer
— Edited by Katrina Hull
University of Kansas faculty members learned how to increase diversity in the classroom yesterday at the sixth annual Michael L. Tilford Conference on Diversity and Multiculturalism via satellite downlink to a room in Strong Hall.
The conference, which was titled, "Preparing Students to Live and Work in a Diverse Global Society," was presented by Edgar Beckham.
Becky Eason, program assistant for the Equal Opportunity Office, said it was an achievement for the conference to acquire Beckham, a senior fellow for the Association of American Colleges and Universities, as the guest speaker.
"He's been involved in a lot of initiatives on diversity," she said. "He was excellent, and the question-and-answer period afterwards was fruitful."
Questions included how to assess diversity to see if certain methods worked and how to create a diverse community.
Eason said the discussion consisted of various ways to ensure students of continued success in the work environment and everyday life in a consistently diversifying global community.
"It stressed the importance of learning about diversity before students enter the work force," she said.
She said the topic of the conference always had dealt with diversity and multiculturalism.
Lisa Wolf-Wendel, professor of education, said that the conference was effective in enlightening professors about diversity but that Beckham was preaching to the converted because people who participated in the conference most likely were aware of the importance of diversity.
"He reinforced what I already knew," she said. "But he said it in a more eloquent manner than I could."
The presentation originated at Kansas State University and was broadcast through television via satellite to faculty at the other five Board of Regents schools and at Washburn University.
Faculty from schools receiving the satellite transmission could ask Beckham questions via phone.
The conference was offered to KU faculty who had contacted or were invited by the Equal Opportunity Office.
Eason said it was the first year the conference was conducted via satellite because in years past it had occurred at various Regents schools.
Wendel said although the speaker was insightful, she preferred the conference before the satellite's intervention.
"I prefer the other way," she said. "K-State benefited from having Edgar Beckham on campus. You got to ask questions, but you didn't get to have dialogue with people from other institutions. It's nice to have a dialogue and not a lecture."
Wendel, who has attended three of the conferences, said she hoped that in the future faculty could attend the presentation in person while those who were unable to travel could utilize the satellite option.
Eason said only 20 professors and administrators from the University were involved in the conference because of space limitations.
Eason said she hoped the conference, which was named for the late Michael L. Tilford, one of its co-founders and a professor at Wichita State University, would continue to evolve.
"I hope that it will grow and that more people will become involved," she said. "Because diversity is something where you need large numbers of people to make it work."

Organizers of homecoming parade correct in banning obscene float
Stephenson Scholarship Hall's float entry in the Homecoming Day parade last week was deemed inappropriate by parade officials, so Stephenson was not allowed to participate in the parade. This was a correct decision.
Isley Unruh, Sedgwick sophomore and the float's designer, said that Student Union Activities' decision to not allow the float into the parade amounted to censorship and discrimination against non-greek floats. The University of Kansas chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union came to Stephenson's defense, saying that the University should not be allowed to ban floats.
What Unruh did not tell reporters or members of KU ACLU was that he misled SUA officials about the float design and that he planned to appear in the parade dressed as a bong.
Unruh knew the rules that governed
SUA was correct to censor the Stephenson Hall float from last week's parade
homecoming floats, which said that organizers must submit a detailed drawing of a proposed float, that the driver's view must not be obstructed and that the homecoming chairman reserved the right to disqualify floats deemed to be in poor taste. Unruh signed a document stating that he and his group would comply with these rules.
Stacy Chain, Derby senior and SUA special events coordinator, said that if the residents of Stephenson had been honest about their float, an effort would have been made to accommodate their desire not to conform. She said that
although the paper-mache fist flipping off the crowd still would have been deemed obscene and inappropriate, the entire float would not have been rejected.
SUA was within its rights to forbid the float from appearing because it was obscure in its final form. Parents should not have to fear taking their children to a homecoming parade; and the children of the Hilltop Child Development Center should not be forced to miss it because of the misguided actions of an immature few.
SUA also was justified in banning the float because Stephenon homecoming organizers repeatedly lied to Chain and other SUA officials about what they intended to do with the float. If the members of Stephenon want to use the protection of the First Amendment, let them do so after having told the truth.
Jennifer Roush for the editorial board
Stopping parade float stops expression
The Stephenson Hall float was a political statement. The First Amendment expressly forbids suppressing free speech. No Student Union Activities regulation should go against this basic principle. One of the few times the law allows for expression to be censored is for a compelling interest. One person's opinion of "poor taste" is not a compelling interest. Not everyone may like what the people who made the float used as symbols or how they chose to express their views, but that does not give the majority license to restrain the minority.
By removing the Stephenson Hall float from the Homecoming parade, SUA didn't allow you, parade watchers, to make your own decision. They decided what you should see. Even if you agree with the decision that the float was in poor taste, you weren't allowed to decide for
Float should have been allowed so that viewers could decide whether it was offensive
yourselves. By not allowing the float, SUA didn't let the issues it raised be debated.
It is interesting to note that the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity and Delta Gamma sorority float was a depiction of the Jayhawk throwing a dart at the Southern Methodist University mustang's rear end. If SUA was being so careful not to offend, why wasn't this float also banned? Silly, you and I might say, but some people could have been offended by this, too, especially if there were children watching.
parade is still censorship. It is like allowing anyone to wear whatever shirt they want — as long as it is black.
The fact that SUA has pre-existing rules that participants must sign that state they must agree to allow themselves to be censored to participate in the parade only makes it worse. SUA has institutionalized this censorship and makes people agree to give up their rights to expression even before being allowed in the parade.
While the editorial board has every right to agree with SUA, I think that its decision flies in the face of the First Amendment. For a group that is allowed to freely express its views, it is dishearening that a majority of its members would so quickly agree with the censorship of others.

Perspective
Members of the ACLU should seal the issue shut
You may have read in the past weeks about the ongoing discussion about the University seal between the ACLU and the University of Kansas. A few weeks ago, the KU chapter of the ACLU sent a letter to Chancellor Robert Hemenway. In this letter, members requested an explanation of the seal
in relationship to the separation of church and state. Following this, Hemenway responded to the ACLU by saying, "I will not hesitate to defend fully the continued use of the seal."

Unfortunately, this was not enough for the ACLU, Kevin Sivits, president of KU ACLU, said in last Tuesday's Kansas that the decision for further action was in the hands of the Kansas-Western Missouri affiliate of the group. I as

the campus liaison for the Student Advisory Council, represent the students of St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center to the greater University community. We feel that the ACLU is making a mountain out of a mole hill. In a past issue of the Kansan, Buddy Lloyd, media director for the KU ACLU, said the seal seemed problematic.
Our question is, how is this so? If the seal has been around for this long with millions of people attending this University, how can it be causing problems? Have people not been able to study at night thinking about the seal? Or have they squirmed at the sight of the seal on their diplomas?
At St. Lawrence we see a need for protecting our civil liberties, but we do not see the seal
as an infraction against any of them. People may say this is because of our obvious religious ties to Moses and the scripture passage on the seal, but we also can look at this from an academic side. The quote literally says, "I see this great vision; the tree which is not consumed." There is no reference to God. This can be taken, in the context of a seal for a university, as the burning of knowledge that inflames our minds but does not destroy it.
Knowledge only makes our minds better, just as Christians, Jews and Muslims think that God made Moses better as a prophet. The picture of Moses before the burning bush also is an acceptable use of a religious figure. First of all, use of religious figures was never banned by the First Amendment, only the establishment of religion by the government.
This in no way is religious establishment by the University. The University makes no claim about the religious implications of the picture. This is a scene with which most people at the University are familiar. Moses, kneeling before the burning bush, is a symbol to the students at the University. We should all be attentive to our studies, giving it the proper time and attention it deserves.
We ask the Kansas-Western Missouri affiliate of the ACLU to pursue this matter only as far as debating the issue. Do not pursue it further, such as taking it to court. It would be a waste of money, time and effort that could be better used to fight for rights that are being denied. Where no harm is being done, no further action is needed.

A revelation: only defense for Moses seal is nostalgia
The University of Kansas community has an opportunity, a chance to do what's right. It's an excellent, visible occasion to be progressive, to make our environment more hospitable to everyone, and it's really not a difficult change.
We have the opportunity to change the University seal. The only thing stopping us is nostalgia.
The University seal features Moses kneeling before the burning bush, and the Biblical quote (translated from Latin), "I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt," (Exodus 3:3). This scene is intended to convey revelation — the discovery of knowledge. Obviously, this is a very appropriate theme for a university. The historical context of this scene is significant, because it
DENNIS MELCHER

cites a major legend from the Old Testament. Thus, it is well established and has meaning for a large portion of the population.
Unfortunately, it is unavoidably religious, and for that, appropriateness cannot compensate. The seal, with its Biblical theme, makes those of religions outside the Judeo-Christian tradition uncomfortable. That alone constitutes religious harassment. But legal issues aside, it's simply not right to make classmates, professors and friends of other religions feel out of place.
If you think that its not a big deal, if you think that it's silly for people to be offended by this issue, I ask you to consider this: imagine for a moment that you're a new student at the University. You just graduated from your private, Catholic high school, and you're excited to start your time at the University. As you pick up your copy of the timetable, you notice
a strange little symbol in the corner. You peer closer to examine it. You see a picture of Carl Sagan standing in the shower, washing his armpit. Around the picture are the words, "As I stood in the shower, it occurred to me that God does not exist."
Ignoring the fact that it's a dumb idea for a seal, how would that you make you feel? Thematically, it's the same as the current seal. It's about revelation (though a bit more overt, I admit). But if the official symbol of the University proclaimed that God did not exist, would that make you feel uncomfortable? If you don't like that example, consider this: what if the picture was of Buddhda sitting under a tree achieving enlightenment? Again, the theme is revelation, but would you think it was odd? Would you wonder if you were enrolling at the wrong place?
I propose that a committee of artists, historians, students, alumni and administrators be formed for the purpose of designing and selecting a new seal, within the bounds of one simple guideline — preserve the theme of revelation, but design it using secular material. Existing representations of the seal need not be banished to the archives or replaced immediately
However, I propose that the change should be implemented on record and in all publications (such as the timetable, diplomas and the University Web site) in time to welcome our first students enrolling in the new millennium, by the fall semester of the year 2000.
I urge the University to act on this plan, and I urge the students, faculty, alumni and administration to support the change. It won't be a difficult transition, and the change won't negatively affect anyone. The only real obstacle to overcome is nostalgia. It won't hurt at all, I promise. The change is a simple one, but one that will make the University a better, friendlier place.

Solicitors shouldn't be allowed in front of residence halls
I have a question to address to the chancellor and the other officials of this campus. I work in a residence hall and there were some solicitors in front of this hall asking students to fill out credit card applications and they would get a free T-shirt for their trouble. My question is why are these solicitors allowed to solicit the residents of these halls whose residents have no choice as to whether they can walk by them? On campus they have a choice as to whether they choose to walk by them or not. At my home I have the same choice. The students that live in the Halls have no choice. They
have to walk by these people to return to their rooms and go to eat. On campus the solicitors have certain areas that they are allowed to solicit in, why aren't there any such rules for the residence halls? Why not have a rule not allowing soliciting 50 feet in front of residence halls. I understand that the front of residence halls is considered public property so they can get away with it. Is it right that they be allowed to solicit residents like this? After all the residents have no choice in the matter, they have to go home and the solicitors are right in the way.

Metabolife ad refutes ABC report
Company fears ABC story might retaliate against its lawsuit
The Associated Press
NEW YORK - The maker of the popular dietary supplement Metabolife has launched an extraordinary pre-emptive strike against ABC News in anticipation of a story it fears will attack its product.
Metabolite's chief executive officer accused ABC of ordering the 20/20 report, which has not been scheduled for air, in retaliation for a lawsuit the company filed against an ABC affiliate.
An ABC representative said the charge was
utterly false and promised ABC's report would be fair and balanced.
Metabolic International Inc. is posting on the Internet a videotape of an interview that its CEO, Michael Ellis, conducted with ABC News and is spending at least $1.5 million in advertising to call attention to it.
"What I'm concerned about is that the whole story won't be out there." Ellis said. "20/20 may, and I'm not saying they will, have a different agenda on how they want this story to go."
A full-page ad directing people to the Web site with the interview ran in yesterday's edition of The New York Times. The company is planning ads nationwide.
San Diego-based Metabolite is popular among people who want to burn calories, but some medical authorities warn about side effects such as increased blood pressure.
The company's strategy seems curious, ABC
representative Eileen Murphy said.
"The they clearly think this is as important an issue as we do, or else they wouldn't have been devoting all these resources to rebulting a piece that they haven't seen yet." she said.
Murphy said WCVB's story was one of the reports that persuaded ABC to take its own look into Metabolife. She strongly denied any retribution was involved.
Ellis said a 20/10 representative called to talk to Metabolife 10 days after the company filed a defamation lawsuit against WCVB-TV, an ABC affiliate in Boston, for a story it ran about potential harmful side effects from its products.
Metabolite's ad says it is concerned ABC may selectively report comments from a medical expert, and printed quotes supportive of its product. Ellis said ABC would not speak to the medical authorities the company offered as interview subjects.
Study gives best proof yet that fat is fatal
The Associated Press
A study of more than 1 million Americans provides the most convincing evidence yet that simply being overweight can cut your life short.
The study, the largest ever done on obesity and mortality, found that overweight people run a higher rate of premature death. And this was true even among people who didn't smoke and were otherwise healthy during their middle years.
The study was conducted by the American Cancer Society and published in today's New England Journal of Medicine.
It settles once and for all any lingering questions about whether weight alone increases the risk of death and disease, said physician JoAnn Manson, a Harvard University endocrinologist.
"The evidence is now compelling and irrefutable." Manson said. "Obesity is probably the second-leading preventable cause of death in the United States after cigarette smoking, so it is a very serious problem."
The study found an especially clear association between excess weight and a higher risk of dying from heart disease or cancer.
And unlike a similar study last year that suggested being overweight is less of a problem as people grow older, this study found many more deaths among overweight people of all ages, especially those older than 75.
More adults and children are overweight than ever before, with 55 percent of American adults weighing more than they should.
"The message is we're too fat and it's killing us. We need to come up with ways as a society to eat less and exercise more," said American Cancer Society epidemiologist Eugenia Calle, lead author of the study.
Manson said: "it's going to take a coordinated campaign to turn this around, at the community level, at the environmental level, with
changes in the food industry and marketing industry, having more bike paths and sidewalks."
Black women were found to be the only exceptions to the rule. The study found that the most obese black women did not have a significantly higher risk of premature death than slender black women.
That poses a fascinating scientific riddle, said June Stevens, a University of North Carolina professor of nutrition.
"Although I had seen this in several other studies, I wasn't ready to believe it was true," she said. "Now I'm thinking maybe this is true, and we need to figure out why."
Clinton seeking delay of test ban treaty vote
Helms leads GOP conservatists who want written delay
remainder of his presidency.
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Clinton signaled yesterday he would accept a postponement of next week's scheduled vote on a global nuclear test ban treaty rather than risk near-certain defeat.
But Senate conservatives, led by treaty foe Jesse Helms, R-N.C., demanded the president request the delay in writing and also promise not to seek action on it through the
Democrats have balked at being seen as initiating such a delay or being denied a chance to bring up the treaty in the 2000 presidential election year.
But Helms, who had kept it bottled up in his Foreign Relations Committee for two years, told a news conference, "We're ready to vote."
Democrats, seeing they lack the votes to ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, are trying to dictate the terms of their own surrender. Helms said.
Helms' objection is significant because under Senate rules any move to cancel next week's vote would require unanimous consent
Furthermore, Helms was joined by other prominent Republicans in demanding Clinton seek the delay in writing.
"He must share with the Senate leadership the burden of not going forward," said Sen. John Warner, R.Va., chairman of the Armed Services Committee.
The development came as Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., and Minority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., were trying to negotiate terms of a delay.
Without a delay, the Senate will begin debating the treaty tomorrow and vote either next Tuesday or Wednesday.
Albright, preparing to testify in support of the treaty today, told senators in a letter that U.S. scientists were able to maintain the U.S. nuclear deterrent without test explosions.
Meanwhile, Defense Secretary William Cohen told the Senate Armed Services Committee a vote against the treaty could draw international condemnation and even lead to nuclear testing elsewhere.
The treaty, she said, would provide an unprecedented monitoring system to detect others' tests.
The treaty has been signed by 154 nations but ratified by only 48, Mexico becoming the latest to do so yesterday. But only two of the seven declared nuclear powers, Britain and France, have ratified it.
New tapes show Richard Nixon using foul words
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The National Archives Tuesday released more than 440 hours of tape recordings from the Richard Nixon White House, doubling the number of hours of Nixon tapes previously available for public listening.
The tapes, covering events from February to August 1971, include conversations about China, the environment, unemployment and anti-war demonstrations. The recordings capture a worried Nixon crafting a strategy to attack his perceived enemies following the leak of the Pentagon Papers, a classified government study of U.S. involvement in Vietnam that was published by The New York Times.
On July 1, 1971, Nixon lectured his chief of staff, H.R. Haldeman: "We're up against an enemy, a conspiracy," Nixon says, rapping on a desk to underscore his message. "We are going to use any means, is that clear?"
When he learned that papers from the liberal-learning Brookings Institution think tank had not yet been raided, as he'd ordered, Nixon raised his voice and admonished Haldeman to "Get it done! I want it done! I want the Brookings safe cleaned out!"
In another conversation, Nixon calls the Supreme Court a disaster.
"You've got a senile old ... in (Justice Hugo) Black. You've got an old fool and a Black fool in that (Justice) Thurgood Marshall. Then you've got (Justice William) Brennan, I mean, a jackass Catholic."
On another, Nixon complains about Jewish people in the government.
"I want to look at any sensitive areas where Jews are involved, Bob," Nixon tells Haldeman. There are exceptions, he said, but, "Generally, you can't trust the bastards."
Representatives from the Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace Foundation in Yorba Linda, Calif., who reviewed the tapes insisted the president was not anti-Semitic. It noted his many Jewish advisers and said: "The president's words about the Jewish community on these tapes show that his basic sense of compassion and support for these communities tends to coexist with terminology from an earlier time."

Train wreck death toll probably will surpass 70
Twenty-eight people are known to have died when the two commuter trains collided at the height of rush hour Tuesday morning near London's Paddington Station. It wasn't entirely clear if the 70 who were confirmed missing included those 28, as police had not identified all of the dead.
The Associated Press
LONDON — A train carriage that was transformed into a searing coffin in a rush-hour collision cooled enough yesterday to allow authorities close enough to reach a grim conclusion. The death toll from the accident is likely to pass 70.
Meanwhile, horror stories began emerging from survivors.
as high as 170.
Among them was Brendon Bentley, who described from his hospital bed the terrifying moments after the crash, when dazed and frightened passengers scrambled to escape from the burning train.
"I don't think it is going to be as high as that. What I can say at the moment is that it is 70-plus," he replied.
"Yesterday's train crash was a terrible tragedy, the scale of which is only just becoming apparent," he added.
The blaze reached temperatures estimated as high as 1,800 degrees, burning a first-class carriage so badly that emergency services have not been able to examine it thoroughly.
At least 14 of the 150 people taken to local hospitals were seriously hurt
Police and firemen continued yesterday to search through the widespread, mangled and burnt wreckage of Britain's worst rail disaster in a decade.
"You had people coming in with their faces bandaged and just their two eyes looking out and the smell of burnt flesh," said Robin Touquet.
"I could see the flames and there were some people trapped underneath the seats," he said. "We had to try to get over them and try to give them a hand, but we couldn't, so then the first priority was just to get off the carriage."
An emergency doctor at St. Mary's Hospital, where many of the injured were taken, said the injuries were among the worst he'd ever seen.
"We are sure that no other survivors will be found," Trotter said. "It is increasingly clear that there is very little else to recover from the scene."
Russians attack Chechnya
Airstrikes, artillery newest strategy in Chechen conflict
The Associated Press
GROZNY, Russia — Russian forces battered Chechnya with airstrikes and artillery yesterday as Moscow's top brass considered whether to push deeper into the breakaway region.
The Russians rained artillery shells on northwestern Chechnya and carried out bombing raids in the east, Chechen officials said. There was no immediate word on casualties.
"Everything will depend on the situation," Sergeyev said.
He maintained the Russians were encountering only pockets of resistance. But Chechen leaders said there was heavy fighting in the face of the Russian advance.
Chechnya's Muslim clerics were expected to call for a holy war against Russia, Chechnya's Deputy Prime Minister Kazbek Makhashev told the Interfax news agency.
Chechen President Aslan Maskhadov declared yesterday that he was taking direct command of the armed forces. Several powerful Islamic warlords oppose Maskhadov's government.
Maskhadov also has declared martial law, and his government says the economy will be placed on war footing.
Defense Minister Igor Sergeyev said Russian forces may mount new offensives toward Grozny, the capital, and other towns. Russia has given few indications of its strategy, forcing the Chechens to spread out their forces.
Last week, Russia sent ground forces into Chechnya following weeks of heavy air attacks. Russian officials say their forces have seized a third of Chechnya — the plains north of the Terek River.
The Russians may halt on the Terek's north banks, where troops have been fortifying their positions. Moving across the river would bring the Russians into hilly territory and subject them to Chechen guerrilla attacks.
Russia stepped up its economic campaign against Cheyncha, saying it would cut off electricity and withhold food shipments.

Russia suffered a devastating defeat in the 1994-96 war with Chechnya. The latest fighting began after Muslim guerrillas based in Chechnya invaded the neighboring Russian republic of Dagestan in August and September.

Plays written by students come to life on EAT stage
Kara Ammon
Special to the Kansan
To help his student playwright hear their words, see their characters and feel the thrill of watching their plays come to life onstage, Paul Lim, associate professor of English, created the English Alternative Theater.
Starting tonight, Chris Nelson, Lawrence junior, and Sam Osterhout, University of Kansas alumnus, will experience their plays from the seats. Both plays portray KU students who hang out in a Lawrence bar and grill. This is the first time the plays will be performed onstage before an audience.
Organized within the department of English, EAT will present the students' one-act plays at 8 p.m. tonight, tomorrow and Saturday at the Lawrence Arts Center, 200 W. Ninth St.
Nelson's play, Writing Love Songs for Holly, portrays three 20-something men, one of whom has
Just broken up with his girlfriend.
Another of the characters tries to pick up a waitress, Holly, while a third tries to help the others with their problems.
Osterhout's play, Croquet,
depicts three KU men, one of
whom has stolen some money
from the cashier. They then try to
decide what to do with the money.
Nelson said he hoped to gain a better understanding of playwriting through the EAT performance.
"I want to really get a feel for what's working and what's not for revisions," he said. "It's good to see how others interpret it so I can shift things around to get the true meaning across."
Lim said other students would enjoy seeing student plays being performed.
"The plays are of great interest to KU because it's KU playwrights writing plays about KU students." Lim said.
Lim encouraged Nelson and
Ostherout to perform their plays onstage. He said students become better writers by examining their plays through rehearsal.
"I hope student playwrights will continue to grow by seeing their plays in production and write even better plays that improve upon their previous mistakes," he said.
Lim said that because some students in his classes were more talented and serious about the craft than others, he tried to help the interested ones pursue performing their works onstage.
He said the main idea of EAT was to get a group of actors together to read a students's play and use physical movements to bring out what is in the script.

"A play is a script, not meant to be read, but seen and heard," Lim said.
Since EAT's creation 10 years ago, Lim, who is in charge of the entire program and generates most of the production costs, said

Some players won't cheer for U.S. World Cup team

Kansas sportswriter
Post-World Cup fever has struck the Kansas women's soccer team, but tonight's game will be more personal for three Jayhawks.
When the U.S. women's World Cup championship team takes on Finland at 7 p.m. tonight at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., most of the cheers will be familiar. The chant of "U.S.A. U.S.A." is sure to be heard loud and clear — but not from junior forward Hilla Rantala or freshman midfielder Mervi Kuitinen.
Rantala comes from Vantaa, Finland, and Kuittinen to Jokikunta, Finland. Both will be decked in white and blue, Finland's colors. Both players also are friends with the team and are excited to see Finland play in the United States.
"I know everyone on the team really well," Rantala said. "It'll be awesome to see them play here, and just the fact that a small country is playing against the world champions is so awesome."
Coach Mark Francis said he was happy his Finnish players would have a chance to see their home country play.
"That's huge for them," Francis said. "They've got friends who play on the team. They're going to try to have time to see some of them while they're here. Hilla's been looking into it."
The chance to see their friends came Tuesday night when both players visited the team's hotel.
Although they will be rooting for their homeland, both think it is going to be tough for Finland to win.
"Well ... the U.S. is a pretty good team right now, but they'll have nothing to lose," Kuittinen said.
Both also expect a rivalry amongst their Kansas teammates to exist. The Kansas roster features three players
from Canada and one from Sweden. Rantala said she hoped some of them would be rooting for Finland as well.
"I don't know about these international students," Rantala said. "I don't know if they've chosen their side yet, but definitely some of the girls are going to be (on our side)."
On the other side of the ball is senior
midfielder Melissa Downing.
Through friends, Downing met U.S. player Sara Whalen and the two became friends, opening up the opportunity for her to tag along with the U.S. team during

The Wildcats have outscored the Jayhawks 212-63 during that span, including a 54-6 thrashing last year. Things have gotten so bad that some wonder if the series counts as a rivalry any more.
Kansas State's football dominance against Kansas the past six years has taken its toll on a once fierce in-state rivalry.

"We're a little embarrassed by the situation," wide receiver Harrison Hill said. "It's hard when the last three years you get your butts kicked by an in-state rival. When you think about it, it's not that much of a rivalry."
The games that haven't been competitive the past few years, but a rivalry can withstand a few lopsided scores.
Kansas leads the all-time series 61-30-5, including a 10-game win streak in the late 1950s and early 1960s. During those days, the game against Missouri was the one that mattered. The Wildcats were pushovers.
Things have changed since then.
And they've dominated the Jayhawks in the process. The team that used to be a guaranteed win is now a game that Jayhawk fans probably want to win more than any other game. Kansas coach Terry
K-State coach Bill Snyder has turned a floundering Wildcat program into a national power. The Wildcats have finished among the top 20 the last six years and have gone to six bowl games.
"I think that if you took a straw poll of which game you would most like to win I think it would be the K-State game," he said.
Allen thinks that fans want the 'Hawks to beat the Wildcats even more than Missouri.
Heather Scott, Manhattan freshman, said that even though she grew up rooting for K-State that she would cheer for the Jayhawks on Saturday — even if Kansas was a long shot.
"Some of my friends give me a hard time, but this is my school now," she said. "It's big because the fans kind of hate KU, but I've gotten the feeling being at KU that winning's not as important."
the dominance of Kansas basketball — the last time K-State beat Kansas was 1983 — seems to ease the agony of defeat for Kansas fans, but not for the football players.
"I think our fans are like 'Well, at least we have basketball,' " wide receiver Michael Chandler said.
But that irks Chandler because he's a football player at a basketball school. He's been at Kansas since 1995 and has experienced four Jayhawk losses by K-State. Like the 41 other Kansas natives on the football team, Chandler gets a little more excited to play the Wildcats because he thinks this could be the year Kansas wins.
That way he can stop getting ripped by his friends.
"I'd like to say it's the reason that I don't go home," Chandler said. "My high school had a lot of people that went to K-State — maybe it's because our school colors were purple — but I'd like to have bragging rights for one year."
Jayhawks stumble early, regroup to defeat Oklahoma

The Jayhawks, 12-4 overall and 3-2 in the Big 12, were coming off a confidence boosting 3-1 win against Texas Tech last Saturday. That was the first time the Jayhawks had ever beaten the Red Raiders, and Kansas was hoping to carry that momentum into yesterday's match
The Jayhawks snatched their secondstraight Big 12 Conference victory lastnight, defeating the Oklahoma Sooners 3-1 in Norman, Okla.

"I can't explain the first game," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "I think we just came out a little sluggish. Once we netted."
The Sooners, though, had some momentum of their own to dish out. Oklahoma came out strong, battering the Jayhawks
for a 15-3 first-game victory.
game, we were steady the rest of the way"
Kansas was steady enough to take a 15-8 win in game two, a 15-9 win in game
three, and a match-clinching 15-2 win in game four.
The Jayhawks were led by senior middle blocker Amanda Reves, who belted 19 kills along with eight digs and four blocks in the match. Senior outside hitter Mary Beth Albrecht chipped in with 16 kills, while sophomore setter Molly LaMere paced the team with 51 assists. Junior outside hitter Sara Kidd led the team with a career-high 11 digs.
Kansas hit .377 for the match—a new school record for a four-game match. The previous four-game record was .336, set against Texas-Pan American on Sept. 20, 1996.
Kansas now has won three straight
against the Sooners, who dropped to 6-9 overall and 1-4 in the Big 12.
"Oklahoma was very physical," Bechard said. "But once we took them out of their game and rebounded from game one, we just turned it on from there."
The Jayhawks will return home to take on the Baylor Bears at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center. The Bears were 14-3 overall and 2-2 in the Big 12 heading into last night's home match against No. 14 Texas A&M.
The Jayhawks are 1-8 all time against the Bears and haven't beaten them since 1985.

Volleyball team hard to topple in new arena
Hold on a second. Let's volley around a few thoughts.
You betcha.
Is this is a good thing?
Kansas' women's volleyball team was moved from Allen Fieldhouse, one of college's most prestigious arenas, and it's supposed to be happy? The Jayhawks lost 15,000 available seats, numerous bathrooms stalls and multiple nacho stands.
The new Horejsi Family Athletics Center was the best thing to happen to Kansas volleyball since it started enticing fans to games by offering more giveaways than Goodwill. Horejsi is Kansas' finest athletic building.
1983
The fieldhouse has charm, "Phog" and 16,300 seats, but it is old and slowly decaying. Take away the new press box, which does not accommodate the majority of the fans, and Memorial Stadium has all the charm of wet toilet paper. Don't start talking about the weight room. Kansas' is so bad that every athlete
Jason Franchuk sports columnist sports@kansan.com
should consider a membership at Bally Total Fitness. The baseball stadium, Hoglund Ballpark, is nice after the renovations that have been made but still falls short of many other stadiums within the Big 12 Conference.
But Horejsi is different. It competes for admirers on a national level. A solid sound system, a beautiful volleyball-only court and close seats will allow Jayhawks coach Ray Bechard to compete for top recruits and build a nationally recognized program.
The fieldhouse is terrific — for basketball. When filled to capacity, the fieldhouse is a fascinating home-court advantage. Problem is, volleyball — let's be honest here — will hardly draw 16,000 fans. (Unless the game you went to took place prior to Late Night with Roy Williams.)
Now, the team has a cozy arena that can sit 1,300 fans closer to the action. All the noise is encapsulated so that when Mary Beth Albrecht hits a big kill, Horeksi still can get two-aspirinplease loud.
That could never happen with the small, distant crowds the volleyball team drew at the fieldhouse. When big plays were made the crowd still sounded from floor level as if it were being muffled with a gigantic pillow.
Bechard knows the psychological advantages of Horejsi with a rowdy crowd. Athletes jump higher. Hit harder. Feel more invincible.
Horeisi's first run at mystique came last Saturday when the Jayhawks beat Texas Tech in four games. It was the first time the program had defeated Texas Tech and the first time the Jayhawks had mustered even a game from the Red Raiders in three years. Want to know the first thing Texas Tech's coach said about the program's changes?
"I can't wait to go watch a basketball game again at Allen." Bechard said. "But we really like this place. This is our home."
"Their crowd seemed a lot louder tonight," he said.
This never would have been said at a volleyball game in the fieldhouse, where opposing coaches had to practice whispering in team huddles because the atmosphere could be as quiet as Watson Library.
Bob Dylan should have opened Horesei. Times they are a changin.'
The only amenity lacking at Horeksi is a big-screen video board.
No sweat. Now showing: Natural born killers - on their very own stage.

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is an 6.
Finish up a big job, quickly. Other work's coming soon, so hustle. Things probably won't go the way you've planned them. Knowing that, you can add a Plan B and maybe even a Plan C. Never hurts to have an extra escape route.
Taurus: Today is an 8.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
Conditions today are good for you. Romance looks excellent, and it's getting better. Don't take a risk yet, however, especially with your money. Hold onto as much of that as possible. You don't need it to have a good time, anyway.
Cancer: Today is an 8.
Expect some controversy to build up. You may notice you're getting a bit nervous. Sometimes that can be fun, and sometimes it's annoying. You'll calm down naturally tomorrow. Meanwhile, no caffeine, OK?
It could be a good evening to entertain. You want the place to be immaculate, however. You'll feel even more sociable tomorrow, so why not clean house first? You'll be much more relaxed after that's done. Get help, if necessary.
Leo: Today is a 6.
Count your pennies today. Gather up money that's floating around — like money someone owes you. Make people pay up. Go back all the stuff your neighbors have borrowed, too. Does your mate yue you $$? Ask everyone to pay you back. You might get enough to buy a new toy.
Virgo: Today is an 8.
Venus, the planet symbolizing love, is coming into your sign today. This will make you even luckier than usual in everything — especially love. When you're lucky in love, nothing else matters, right? Except for a small breakdown at home, you've got it made.
Scorpio: Today is an 8.
Libra: Today is a 5.
You're pretty casual sometimes, but today you should put in extra effort. You'll get extra points for being perfect. It'll get easier soon since your ruling planet, Venus, is going into Virgo, the sign of the perfectionist. Use this to your advantage.
Sagittarius: Today is a 6.
Capricorn: Today is a 9.
You're always popular, but for the next few weeks, you'll make even more friends. If you're looking for love, join people who are interested in the same things you are. Friendship could blossom into love with no trouble at all.
You've been thinking about your career lately, and there's a good reason for that. Don't worry about what it is; just keep going for that promotion. The money isn't flowing yet, but you're headed in the right direction. Focus on learning, and you'll do fine.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
Travel could go well today, especially if it's a business trip. You could get romantically involved with somebody you're working with, too. If that's appropriate, fine. If not, watch out! Don't talk yourself into doing something you'd regret later.
Pisces: Today is an 8.
Are you thinking about suing somebody who's not treating you right? Well, maybe a friend can arbitrate for you and keep it from going all the way to court. That might be better for all concerned. You can demand respect, however. That may be the only way you'll get it.
If you need a loan, try again later today or tomorrow. You could get more money to come in if you don't get distracted. A friend has a great idea, but don't let it get in the way of business. Watch what you say today, too.

DENVER — The Denver Broncos switched quarterbacks again, as coach Mike Shanahan yesterday replaced Brian Griese with veteran Bubby Brister.

"I just think this is the best thing for our football team right now," Shanahan said. "We think this is going to give us a chance to win now."

Brister, 37, was the heir apparent to replace the retired John Elway. But on Aug. 30, after four of Denver's five preseason games, Shanahan benched Brister in favor of the Griese, who threw just three passes as a rookie last year.

"The question is, what can we do to give us the best chance to get out of this slump?" Shanahan said. "Brian played well on Sunday and we had a chance to have four touchdowns in the first half. But the bottom line is, we didn't get it done." Brister vowed to get the team back on track.
Griese, 24, said he was surprised by the decision but said he understood something needed to change.
Griese now becomes the backup. and veteran Chris Miller remains No. 3.
High school coach lied about true identity
for granted that their assistant football coach was Nick Edick, an All-American halfback at Notre Dame in the mid-1960s.
But then the real Nick Eddy called the man who was impersonating him, and a ruse that began 20 years ago suddenly fell apart. William Nicholas Eddy-McMullen was forced to resign from the coaching staff, and he had to own up to living a lie.
"I didn't deny it. I didn't embellish it," McMullen said of his claims. "In fact, people were amazed at how modest ... how I didn't talk about my past and my exploits and what I'd done, et cetera."
School officials, tipped off by Eddy's call and a report by The Standard-Times of New Bedford, said they were surprised at why he lied.
"The fact is he didn't need to because he was successful just on his ability as a coach," said David Ferreira, Old Colony's superintendent.
Agassi rejoins Americans in quest for Davis Cup
BASEL. Switzerland — Andre Agassi will play in the Davis Cup, after all.

With Pete Sampras still injured and uncertain to be available, Agassi will anchor American hopes to reclaim the cup.

American golfers seeking forgiveness in Europe
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Tom Lehman and two American Ryder Cup teammates are seeking forgiveness at golf's most hallowed site: the Old Course at St. Andrews.
But after reading yesterday's British papers, Lehman, Payne Stewart and Mark O'Meara know the controversy surrounding their Ryder win hasn't been forgotten. Not in Europe, at least.
"What better place to come and set things straight than St. Andrews," said Lehman, speaking just a 9-iron away from the famous stone clubhouse of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club — the venerable custodian of the game's rules and manners.
"It's of concern to me that my reputation has been somewhat damaged," said Lehman, whose behavior was called disgusting by European assistant captain Sam Torrence when the American led a charge across the 17th green in a premature victory celebration.
Lehman, who will lead the Americans in the 16-nation Dunhill Cup when it begins today, said he'd
talked to Torrance and sent letters to the people he wanted to deal with directly.
Duval seeking third Kingsmill resort win
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — David Duval has never won any event three times in a row, not at any level, but that's what the world's No. 2 player will be shooting for starting today in the Michelob Championship.
Duval, who ended a career-long habit of second place finishes on tour two years ago with his first career victory at Kingsmill resort, has made winning a habit since, adding 10 victories the past two years, four this season.
At Kingsmill, where conditions have always conspired to keep the tournament from attracting more than a few stars in any given year, Duval is a fixture.

Surprising is the only word that could describe the performance of the Kansas men's golf team earlier this week at the 15-team Window Memorial Classic in Lake Forest, Ill.
The Jayhawks shot 897, finishing in 10th place. 20 strokes behind firstplace Kent.
"We didn't expect to finish (in 10th place) at all," said All-American Ryan Vermeer, Omaha, Neb., senior. "It was a big surprise to all of us.
"It was a combination of things (as to why the team played poorly), but we did play way below our standards."
Kansas was the No.1 team in the country three weeks ago but dropped from that spot after finishing second to Missouri in the Kansas Institutional
Kansas invitational.
Vermeer, who has been ranked as the nation's No. 1 collegiate golfer this year, placed 15th and shot 21 at the Window Mo.

"I played pretty well in the first and second rounds," Vermeer said. "But I struggled in the third. I hit some bad tee balls and that forced me to have to chip to get back on the fairway. That made it way too hard for me."
Vermeer couldn't pinpoint why the team played so poorly, but Brad
Davis, Newton senior who tied for 43rd at 228, said that part of the team's trouble came from the weather.
"It was a great course, but it was wet and when it's wet it plays long," Davis said.
Vermeer said although the greens were groomed well, he still had trouble putting.
"I didn't putt very well or make very many," he said. "The tournament was a few little mistakes that compiled."
Casey Harbour, Lake Quivira sophomore, had Kansas' best finish, tying for 13th at 220.
The Jayhawks will travel to St. Charles, Mo., Monday to play in the Missouri Bluffs Intercollegiate.

Along the way she met another U.S. star, Shannon MacMillan, and they became instant friends, she said.
"Me and Mac just hit it off," Downing said. "We talk all the time, so it's cool."
Downing spent time with her new friends as they battled for the World Cup title, and she was invited to celebrate with the team following its victory.
"Nike had a party after they won." Downing said. "Adidas rented limos, and I got to party with them. It was the time of my life. It was the most amazing summer I've ever had."
She has even chatted briefly with Mia Hamm, the world's top player, while clowning around with the team during a picture with a life-size Austin Powers doll.
"I told her to get in the picture, but she didn't want to." Downing said. "She's pretty shy."
Although she's looking forward to seeing the team play again, Downing has a personal reason for wanting the team in town.
"It's Shannon's birthday (today)."
Downing said, "so I'm hoping we'll probably get to hang out for a little while after the game."

Simoneau guides Wildcats
Senior linebacker leads strong defensive effort by Kansas State
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
It's fitting that Kansas State linebacker Mark Simoneau grew up in Smith Center, only fifteen miles from the geographical center of the United States. After all, the entire Wildcat football world has been revolving around Simoneau for a good part of 1999.
Simoneau has done it all this year. In the spring, he was elected as team captain. Simoneau was only the second Wildcat to ever be elected to the leadership position three times. In July, he was named the preseason Big 12 Conference Defensive Player of the Year, and followed with preseason All-American honors in multiple publications, such as Lindy's and Athlon Sports.
On the field, Simoneau has been the anchor for the K-State defense, which currently is ranked as the nation's ninth best. Last Saturday, Simoneau almost handedly shut down the
Texas Longhorns in the second half of the Wildcats' 35-17 victory. Saturday's Simoneau carnage read as follows: seven tackles (three for losses), a forced fumble, a 37-yard interception return for a touchdown and frequent pressure on highly touted Texas quarterback Major Applewhite.
For his efforts, Simoneau was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week.
"Put him down as a strong candidate for the Butkus Award," said Brent Musburger of ABC Sports during the game. "This was an All-American performance as far as I'm concerned."
Despite all the on-the-field honors, no conversation about Simoneau is complete without mention of his intensity. Or his hair.
"He's about as intense of a football player as I have ever been associated with," K-State coach Bill Snyder said.
As for the hair, Simoneau hasn't seen the inside of a barber shop since April. The historically clean-cut Simoneau now sports locks that protrude from the back of his helmet and cover his ears. Despite the constant comparisons to Sampson of Biblical fame, Simoneau said he has no reason for the new look.
"I really don't know why I let it grow," Simoneau told the Wichita Eagle. "It's just a haircut — or a non-haircut. It's
not like I can't cut it."
However, Simoneau can't bring himself to make his hair one with scissors, although he admittedly nearly cut it off during halftime of Saturday's game in the sweltering Texas heat.
Long hair or short hair, Simoneau's — and the Wildcats' — performance this season has exceeded even the preseason expectations in many ways. The Wildcats lost four starters off last season's 11-2 team, and many outsiders picked this year's Kansas State team to falter under the high expectations. So much for the experts, as the Wildcats are ranked in the top 10 in both major polls.
Simoneau said he was playing the best football of his life, as he leads the Wildcats in four defensive categories. His dominating performances this year have excited even the normally subdued Snider.
"I think Mark has always been willing to step in and do whatever is needed to be done to help his football team and his teammates," Snyder said. "I think that being a senior and seeing that we have a smaller senior class than we've had in the past, he probably sees a little greater need than he did in previous years."

Nebraska plans to shake up its backfield
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb.— Moving up a yard or two and lining up at fullback is not a stretch for Nebraska running back Dan Alexander.
Alexander has played mostly I-back in his two-plus seasons with the Cornhuskers but has seen some time at fullback, his original position coming into the program.
At 6-foot, 245 pounds he has the size to play the position and because of some early-season injuries he probably will see more time there. Nebraska coach Frank Solich said.
"I think he's got great fullback potential. He's got a lot of what you look for there," said Solich, a fullback with the Huskers in the 1960s.
Alexander ran a few plays at fullback last week against Oklahoma State after starter Willie Miller left the game with an ankle injury. Alexander will play some
fullback Saturday night when Iowa State visits Memorial Stadium.
Alexander is not picky about where he lines up.
"Whatever they're going to ask me to do, I'm going to go to that," Alexander said. "The coaches, with their experience, know so much more about the sport than I do. I just kind of trust in their decisions."
N Trinker
Alexander has started the last three games at 1-back and leads Nebraska's running backs with 238 yards. His biggest game this season was 95 yards against Iowa. He has had three fumbles in games against Southern Mississippi and Missouri.
Solich will start Alexander at 1 back with Correll Buckhalter, the only 100-yard rusher for the Huskers (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) this
season, as his backup.
The Huskers are getting deeper at I-back with Dahrann Diedrick and Diante Grixby nearly recovered from injuries, and with Alexander's size it made sense to give him time at fullback.
"There is no question that Dan Alexander will block you as well as anybody will block you around the country from the running back spot." Solich said.
Miller and Tyrone Uhlir were the Cornhuskers' only healthy fullbacks coming into the last week's Oklahoma State game. Miller returned to practice Tuesday and is set to start again Saturday, but Solich expects to get Alexander in for at least a few clavs at fullback.
“That’s probably the best thing about the whole situation is we both came here as fullbacks and we've been best friends since we've been roommates,” Alexander said.
Alexander said the adjustment from I-back to fullback is not easy, but Miller, his roommate, is helping.
Visit by moms may mean Tiger recruiting violation
The Associated Press
The NCAA has reinstated the eligibility of two basketball recruits to play at Missouri amid an investigation into whether it broke any rules about the players' mothers accompanying them on a campus visit.
Missouri athletic director Mike Alden notified the NCAA last Friday that the university may have violated recruiting rules by allowing the mothers of Detroit basketball standouts Arthur Johnson and Rickey Paulding join their sons on a chartered plane to Columbia, Mo.
As part of that notification, Missouri declared the pair ineligible to play for the Tigers and requested that the NCAA reinstate that eligibility. Mary Ann Austin, Missouri's director of compliance, said
M
Tuesday's decision by the NCAA will allow Pauling and Johnson to sign national letters of intent to play at Missouri next month.
Tuesday's decision did not include a finding on Missouri's possible violation. But Austin said she thought the NCAA would not have reinstated the two players if it didn't plan to issue a ruling against the school later.
While it's possible the NCAA will issue sanctions against the school, Missouri hopes the organization will accept the school's self-imposed sanctions, Austin said.
According to the statement released Tuesday night by Missouri, the NCAA's
decision to reinstate the eligibility of the two recruits is "conditioned upon additional remuneration, by the parents, to further account for a portion of the charter flight costs."
The university said it would appeal the terms.
"The university is grateful for the resolution of this issue," it read. "MU continues to accept full responsibility for its actions, but will appeal the terms of the reinstatement based on the punitive impact to the prospect's families."
While the school didn't get the official word until Tuesday afternoon, a senior NCAA official told The Kansas City Star that the alleged violations likely wouldn't prevent the recruits from playing at Missouri. Steve Mallonee, the NCAA's director of membership services, refused to comment to The Associated Press later in the day.
"In theory, until that gets taken care of or cleared up, the prospects are not eligible to play there," Mallonee told The Star. "In most cases, again, it's as simple as the institution acknowledges the violation, they seek reinstatement. The reinstatement will occur with some conditions, or whatever the conditions imposed by the committee, and then the institution will continue to recruit the kid."
Only severe infractions result in a player being declared permanently ineligible.
Both Paulding and Johnson's mothers paid the university between $200 and $300 each for their tickets prior to flying from Detroit to Columbia Regional Airport Sept. 17 and returning Sept. 19. Alen said the university thought the NCAA rules allow a prospect to be accompanied on a noncommercial flight if the extra party paid fair market value for the ticket.
Houston pays $700 million for expansion franchise
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Houston rejoined the NFL yesterday, paying a record $700 million for an expansion franchise and beating out Los Angeles, the nation's second-largest television market.
The vote, announced by Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, was 29-0. Arizona and St. Louis abstained. Only 24 votes were needed for approval.
Los Angeles business leaders were unable to agree on several proposals for a stadium site. The city lost the Raiders to Oakland and the Rams to St. Louis after the 1944 season.
The vote awarding Houston businessman Bob McNair the team followed months of indecision in which the NFL at one point conditionally awarded a franchise to Los Angeles. A deadline for Los Angeles to come up with a suitable stadium proposal came and went, eventually putting Houston back into the picture.
"I think after a while we all got tired of it, thought it was time to make a decision," McNair said.
The $700 million fee is the highest for a sports team in the United States. With a $310 million stadium included, the Houston deal would be worth more than $1 billion — a first for the NFL.
The vote returns an NFL team to Houston, which lost the Oilers to Tennessee after the 1996 season and is the nation's No. 11 television market.
The name of the Houston team is not set, but Tagliabue said it would not be "Oilers." When Cleveland lost its franchise to Baltimore after the 1995 season, the NFL backed a team to Cleveland, along with
its traditional nickname, colors and records.
Owners also voted to adjust the league alignment to eight divisions of four teams each. Right now, there are six divisions — one with six teams and the rest with five.
Houston will be placed in the AFC, where the old Oilers played. That would mean one AFC team would have to switch to the NFC. Arizona and St. Louis abstained because of questions about the proposed alignment.
McNair said a retractable-roof stadium would be completed in time for Houston to play its first season in 2002. Public funds of $195 million would go into the project.
The league's expansion committee met with McNair on Tuesday evening and also heard Michael Ovitz make another pitch for giving Los Angeles the 32nd team.
Ovitz, who most recently proposed building a stadium at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, Calif., and another group seeking a team for the Los Angeles Coliseum apparently did not make an offer anywhere to the one by Houston.
Ovitz and his backers hold an option on a parcel of land at Hollywood Park. But he obtained the option last week, so any plan for that site would have to be in the early stages.
The league soon narrowed in on the Coliseum, eliminating a proposal by Ovitz that featured a new stadium in suburban Carson. But the negotiations with the Coliseum stalled last summer after the NFL failed to receive a promise of $150 million in public funds to go toward the Coliseum project.
Los Angeles City Councilman Mark Ridley- Thomas said the Coliseum group never received a clear idea of what the NFL wanted in LA.

Millwood pitches gem for Atlanta
Braves hold Astros to one run, tie series
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves must be wondering why they didn't pitch Kevin Millwood in the last two postseasons.
Demonstrating that he's now the best starter on a staff filled with Cy Young winners, Millwood allowed only one hit
— a second-inning homer to Ken Caminiti—and helped give the Braves a critical 5-1 victory against the Houston Astros yesterday, evening their first-round series at one game aniece.
The 24-year-old Millwood stepped up this season, while Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz — who have won a combined seven Cy Young awards — went through assorted struggles.
With the Braves in a virtual must-win situation after losing the first game 6-1 Tuesday, Millwood thoroughly shut
down the Astros, retiring 15 in a row after Caminiti's homer.
The streak was broken when third baseman Chipper Jones booted a grounder with one out in the seventh, but the error didn't bother his pitcher.
Millwood got the next two batters on grounders, and the Braves broke open a 2-1 game with three runs
It was the first one-hitter in a first-round game since baseball expanded the playoffs for the 1965 season.

flopped in the batting order, a move that paid off with two RBIs from Jordan, hitting fourth instead of fifth.
The best-of-5 series shifts to the Astrodome, where the next two games will be played tomorrow and Saturday. If a fifth game is needed, it would be at Turner Field on Sunday.
Klesko, dropped from the cleanup spot, had three hits, scored twice and drove in a run.

But everyone was overshadowed by
immilwood expected to be nervous in his first post-season appearance but turned out to be
dominating. He struck out eight, walked none and faced two batters above the minimum.
Not that Millwood's performance was out of the ordinary — for him.
He flirted with a no-hitter several times during the regular season, allowing only two hits in fourth separate starts. He went at least six innings in every start after June 28. Overall, Millwood finished second in the NL to Arizona's Randy Johnson with a 2.68 ERA and led the majors by allowing a .202 average to opposing hitters.

Froemming noticed a stain on the right hip of Lima's uniform and walked over to check it out. The umpire appeared to touch the spot with a finger before allowing Lima to proceed.
Lima, 21-10 during the regular season but 0-2 against the Braves, went 6 2-3 innings, allowing four runs and nine hits.
Rangers just can't seem to shake Yankee jinx
Texas may have best shot tonight against Pettitte
The Associated Press
NEW YORK—Just what the Texas Rangers needed: a day off in the big city.
They won the first game."
They could watch television and dwell on their seven-game postseason slide.
They could read the newspapers and fixate on their 22-inning playoff scoreless streak.
They could listen to the radio and the constant talk of a subway series between the Yankees and Mets.
"Nobody expects us to win," Game 2 starter Rick Helling said yesterday. "To me, all the pressure is on the Yankees.
Won is an understatement. Orlando Hernandez held the Rangers to two hits in eight innings and Bernie Williams had six RBIs in New York's series-opening 8-0 win Tuesday night.
The Yankees need 10 more wins to achieve their goal of a third World Series title in four seasons, and they're hoping to find the consistency that led them to a record 125 wins a year ago.
Helling (13-11), who gave up a major league-high 41 homers, pitches against Andy Pettitte (14-11) tonight before the series moves to Arlington.
"Obviously, if you're down one, it's a lot more important game," Pettitte said.
"But it's still important. If we can get
the second game here and go there to Texas up two, we feel confident." Sound familiar?
ter the Yankees beat Texas in last year's postseason opener, Pettit faced Helling in Game 2 and led New York to a 3-1 win, allowing one run and three hits in seven innings with eight strikeouts.
Helling gave up three runs and eight hits in six innings.
"It it was just like it has been so far in all these games against the Yankees," Helling said. "We got outpitched a little bit, didn't score enough runs to win."
Texas may have its best chance against Pettitte, a Texan from Deer Park. Juan Gonzalez is 10-for-22 (4.55) against the left-hander, Rusher Greer is
9-for-25 (.360), Todd Zeile 5-for-14 (.357) and Rafael Palmeiro 13-for-44 (.295) with four homers and nine RBIs.
New York is hoping Pettitte will pitch with confidence, as he did in a record 21-3 victory at Arlington on Aug. 23.
"They're a scary team to play against because you know they're going to break loose," New York's Paul O'Neill said. "They're going to score runs when it's all said and done."
Texas hopes so. The Rangers have just one run in their last 42 playoff innings all against the Yankees.
"We're a very good offensive ball club," said Rangers general manager Doug Melvin, whose team led the American League in batting for the second straight year. "We'll break out of it somewhere along the line here. Just hope that it's sooner than later."
Indians break opening game losing streak
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — On a gimp knee that almost prevented him from playing in October, Travis Fryman finally helped the Indians run away from their Game 1 postseason linx.
The Indians had lost eight straight series opening games, dating back to the division series against Boston in 1995 before Fryman's clutch bases-loaded base hit.
Fryman's RBI single with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning gave Cleveland a 3-2 win last night over the Boston Red Sox, who may have lost Pedro Martinez for the remainder of the AL playoffs.
Martinez, baseball's most dominant pitcher this season, pulled a back muscle in the fourth inning and had to leave the game. He is listed as day-to-day, and Boston manager Jimy Williams said the right-hander would be re-examined by doctors today.
"We got a break with Pedro getting hurt," said Fryman.
"Anytime you face Pedro, he's tough.
He's the best pitcher I ever faced. You look up there in the sixth inning, and you don't see him out there; it gives you a little pick-me-up."
BOSTON
RED SOX
The Red Sox, who had counted on Martinez giving them the lead in the series, will turn to Bret Saberhagen in Game 2 today against Cleveland's Charles Nagy.
Indians starter Bartolo Colon struck out a season-high 11 in eight innings, and Paul Shuey picked up the win with a perfect ninth.
Jim Thome hit a game-tying two-run homer in the sixth for the Indians, who also got spectacular defensive plays from David Justice. Roberto Alomar and Omar Vizuel.
Namar Garciaparra homered for the Red Sox, who despite dominating the regular-season series against Cleveland, have now lost four straight playoff games to the Indians.
Derek Lowe, who replaced Martinez in fifth, hit Manny Ramirez in the back with a 2-2 pitch to open the ninth, and Rheal Cormier relieved. One out later, pinch-hitter Wil Cordero singled to right in his first career postseason atbat.
Sexson, who had 116 RBIs this season, pinch-hit for David Justice and was walked on four pitches by Garces. Fryman, who was on the disabled list twice this year with a torn ligament in his right knee, then slapped a 1-2 pitch to left for the game-winner.

Indian prime minister claims party victory
Returns may result in unprecedented power for alliance
The Associated Press
NEW DELHI, India- India's prime minister claimed victory yesterday in parliamentary elections, saying he expects the final results of the vote to give his 22-party alliance a majority.
Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's National Democratic Alliance could get a large enough majority to hold power for a full five years, something no party other than Congress has done since independence in 1947. All projections were giving the alliance a majority in parliament.
"I don't see how this alliance can last for more than 14 to 16 months," said Congress party representative Jaidram Ramesh, apparently conceding defeat.
When asked if he was ready to form another government, Vajpayee said that what he was expecting. Flashing a "V" for victory sign for photographers, he said the results were according to his expectations.
Projections based on partial returns predicted the alliance would win 280 to 290 of parliament's 543 elected seats, according to private Star News Television. It projected 175 to 190 for the main opposition Congress party.
Counting of more than 300 million ballots began yesterday after the monthlong vote. Results for 538 seats are to be announced by Friday. A new government is expected to be named by the middle of the month, after parliament is seated.
Vajpayee's victory against Congress candidate Karan Singh in his Lucknow parliamentary constituency in Uttar Pradesh state quali-
In another five districts where balleting was canceled because of floods, voting is scheduled for Oct. 28.
fles him to return as prime minister. India's third election since 1996 was called because Vajpayee lost a vote of confidence by one vote in April.
Italian-born Sonia Gandhi, Congress's president, established an early lead against Sushma Swaraj of Vajpayee's Bharatiya Janata Party in the southern Indian district of Bellary, where her party has never lost. Gandhi also was running in Amethi, in Uttar Pradesh, the seat once held by her husband, former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. He was assassinated in 1991.
In the 41 districts where winners were declared, the Bharatiya Janata Party — part of the National Democratic Alliance — had 25 seats, with five more for its allies. Congress had nine seats and other parties had two.
In large noisy halls and tentseeming with police and politicalactivists, election officials openedmetal ballot boxes yesterday toundertake the laborious count,which will continue nonstop untilthe results are complete.
Of the 418 seats where projections were available, the alliance had 229 to Congress' 128.
Counting in Anantnag in northern Kashmir was hated when opposition candidates objected to counting of votes by special police officers - civilians armed by the government to fight Muslim militants. They are seen by the opposition as government agents. One candidate was injured in a clash with local police at the counting center.
A second vote took place yesterday in the northeastern states of Assam and Manipur because of disruption of the original polls by violent clashes between political parties.
Chief Election Commissioner M.S. Gill said 148 people died in election related violence during the vote fewer than in previous years. Most were killed in attacks by separatist insurgents who tried to block the elections. The rest were victims of clashes among political activists.

Kansas' karate kid wins grand championship

Freshman focuses on World Games as next challenge

Most people in this area probably don't know it, but the University of Kansas has a world-champion athlete in its midst.
Matthew Bowles, Naperville, Ill., freshman, is that champion. Bowles competes in karate meets across the country, and last year he qualified for the world championships in Savannah, Ga., where he won three medals: a gold, a silver and a bronze.
In fact, Bowles is headed to the World Games in Niagara Falls, Canada, this December. He qualified for the games when he won grand champion at a tournament last weekend in Detroit.
But not many people know about Bowles' karate ability.
"I don't really talk about it that much," he said. "I barely told anyone in high school except for my close friends. Then the Chicago Tribune did an article my senior year, and everyone found out about me."
Bowles said he tried not to publicize his success because he didn't want people to think he was conceited. He wants to be known as being modest.
"A lot of people that are good at karate act like they are all bad," he
said. "I hate that. People with attitudes like that give karate a bad name."
Bowles studies two main styles that form the basics of his techniques — a Korean style called Tang-So-Do and a Japanese style called Shorei-Ryu. He said that while actual fighting matches stereotypical of karate were part of his competitions, he also performed programs by himself. Those are performed in front of judges who rate him on different qualities such as speed, power and basic technique.
"It's kind of like a gymnastics routine but with karate moves," he said. "You take the traditional aspects and add your own style with kicks and flips and stuff like
Bowles said he had been practicing karate since he was 6 years old. He said that he didn't really know what sparked his interest in karate but that he doesn't plan on quitting anytime soon.
that."
"It probably was from when I saw the Karate Kid," he said. "That's when I really got psyched. It's something no one else in my family had ever done, but for some reason I just had a burning desire to be a karate guy."
Bowles even wanted to start studying karate when he was 5 years old, but the classes in the area wouldn't admit anyone under the age of 6. So his parents sent him to take gymnastics classes to improve his flexibility until he
When Bowles was 12, he earned his first black belt while studying in Michigan. Then, after moving to Chicago in the eighth grade, Bowles said he found a place to study that he really liked.
turned 6.
"It got me more into it," he said. "I've been going full throttle ever since."
Bowles said that since he came to Kansas he had been to four tournaments, in Chicago; Galveston, Texas; Columbia, S.C.; and Detroit.
"I entered five events and took four first places and one second place," Bowles said about his success in Detroit. "And I won grand champion."
Bowles's Chicago-based sensel, or instructor, John Sharkey, said that the first time he saw Bowles he knew he possessed a lot of talent.
"He had a lot of potential," Sharkey said. "We just had to bring it out. We basically gave him the stuff he needed, and he took it and ran with it."
While Bowles competes in the lightweight division, he said that to win grand champion he had to compete against all other weight classes on up to heavyweight in each event. He also said that while he competed in each event at every tournament, that not all athletes were able to do so.
"You'll find people who can consistently win one or two events," he said. "But few people can compete in all divisions and have a chance to sweep."
Sharkey said that in his circuit, Bowles definitely had made it big.
"He has pretty much dominated our circuit all year," he said.
This year when Bowles goes to the world tournament he already will have experience competing against and beating some of the best in the world. However, he said that this year he would be competing in the 18-year-old division, and that the rules were a little different than the 15-17 year old class he was in a year ago.
"I was in the fight to go to the finals," he said. "And I made a guy bleed so I got disqualified. That was the rule in that age group. I had fought 12 matches and only lost one and was winning that match until I got disqualified. If I would have won, I would have fought for first."
Bowles said that he wanted people to know that karate wasn't all about violence seen in Jackie Chau movies.
"You won't see me flipping down the sidewalk or sneaking around in the bushes," he said. "It's not like that."
Sharkey said that while Bowles was off attending college, he had to train by himself, but that he still could improve because of his work ethic and self-motivation.
"For somebody like him with his kind of discipline," Sharkey said. "He'll pull it off."

WHAT THE LAW SAYS
Story by Katie Hollar · Illustrations by Kyle Ramsey
attempt to obtain or purchase alcoholic liquor or cereal malt beverage except as authorized by law. It is a misdemeanor for which the minimum fine is $200. In addition, the court may order the offender to perform 40 hours of public service, or attend and satisfactorily complete a suitable educational or training program dealing with the effects of alcohol or other chemical substances when ingested by humans.
"Open Saloon" means any place, public or private, where alcoholic liquor is sold or offered or kept for sale by the drink. It does not include any premises where the sale of liquor is authorized by the club and drinking establishment act or any microbrewery or farm winey. It is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not more than $500 and by imprisonment for not more than 90 days.

- No person under 21 years of age shall possess, consume, obtain, purchase or
random Deines, Hoxie junior planned to spend the evening
of Sept. 25 participating with three kegs of Budweiser and 80 of his closest friends.
But an uninvited guest decided to drop by a Lawrence police officer.
The officer walked into the backyard and started to break up the party. Deines, who lives on the 900 block of Alma Drive, said the officer threatened to hand out charges of minor in possession.
"He yelled at my roommate and threatened to take us to jail if we didn't clear everyone out of the house," Deines said. "I tried to convince him that about 20 people were my overnight guests, but it didn't work."
When the office entered the house without permission, Deines said he got suspicious. "We were pretty certain that our rights were being violated, but we didn't really say anything," Deines said.
Like Deines, house-party hosts sometimes are unsure of those rights. Although many aspects of a house party are illegal, there are some steps students can take to protect themselves.
Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence police said there were two sure ways to avoid legal trouble: confirm that every guest is 21 or older and don't serve underage guests.
"We've seen people mark hands or give wristbands, and that has mixed success." he said.
Furnishing alcohol to minors statute brings consequences whether it was done knowingly or unknowingly, he said.
"If it's your party and they've got it," Wheeler said, "you're in trouble."
"We operate on a 'If you can see it, you can get it rule,'" he said. "But if there's no alcohol in sight, or everyone drinking is 21, then you are okay."
Wheeler said there were three ways a cop could enter a party: an invitation inside, a warrant or a visible infraction.
If a cop knocks, it would be smart to open the door. Wheeler said.
If the party-throwers refuse, they could be arrested on a charge such as noise disturbance, allowing the
police to enter and search the incident of arrest. Wheeler said. Michele Kessler, associate director of Legal Services for Students, said her office saw party case every semester.
"The usual situation is a keg party at someone's house, where they are charging by the cup or at the door," she said.
Kessler said the Alcoholic Beverage Control or the police could cite party-throwers for housing an open saloon or distributing alcohol to minors. If the party hosts are underage or officials see minors consuming alcohol, minor in possession charges also can
be issued.
Penalties for these offenses can include community service hours, fines or jail time. Kessler said when alcohol was involved, alcohol counseling usually was required.
"Police can thwart a party before it even gets going," Kessler said.
She said tickets had been issued when minors went to pick up kegs.
"Or police will see flyers advertising a party and decide to go," Kessler said. Although his party was busted, Deines got lucky. The officer eventually left without ticketing the hosts or guests.
But Deines said the situation left him with a negative attitude toward police. "He wasn't very nice to us," Deines said. "He used the f-word."

Former KU secretary gets probation for theft
Constance Conboy, a former secretary in the Office of Minority Affairs, now the Office of Multicultural Affairs will serve 24 months of probation for one count of felony theft and two counts of misdemeanor theft. She also will have to pay restitution. Her restitution hearing is set for 9 a.m., Nov. 5. Jerry Little, Douglas County assistant district attorney has requested restitution in the amount of $23,000.
District Attorney Christine Tonkavich said that the acts Conboy committed were presumptive probation cases in this state. However, having a felony charge on her record will make it difficult for her to find further employment, and she will be ordered to pay restitution, she said.
"I hope this will send a message to the University community and the larger community that internal theft is stealing, and it will be treated the same as any theft," she said. Conboy was found guilty on Sept. 3 after she pleaded no contest to the three counts.
The funds were reported missing Feb. 5 by Sherwood Thompson, who was director of minority affairs at the time. The thefts occurred between May 7, 1997, and Sept. 18, 1998.
Alton Scales, director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said he could not comment because the incident predated him.
"There's no one in the office here now who was there when she was in the office," Scales said.
Prowler haunts window, peers in at lone student

A 26-year-old KU student was sitting in her bedroom in her house when she saw a movement out of the corner of her eye.
When a face looked back at her, she started screaming.
Thinking it was a tree branch, she looked to the window.
"I just screamed and got out of the room as soon as it registered," she said.
Lawrence police said the window peeper was spotted at 10:15 p.m. at the 1600 block of West 20th Terrace. The suspect is a Caucasian male in his 20s with dark hair.

Fraternity to honor brother with 80-mile leukemia run
Some members of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity will be running legs of a nearly 80-mile-long relay between
their chapter house, 1540 Louisiana St.,
and Manhattan today.
In the annual Fiji Run for Leukemia, the fraternity members will transport the football for Saturday's game between the University of Kansas and Kansas State University.
The event is in memory of a Kansas State fraternity member, Rod Morgan, who died of leukemia in 1974.
University members raised more than $18,000 in pledges, making their total contribution in the past 25 years more than $353,000, and qualifying them as the largest donor to the Kansas Chapter of the Leukemia Society of America.
Fraternity members from both universities will run 50-yard legs beginning at 9:45 a.m. They will run through campus to Massachusetts Street and then to Highway 24 toward Manhattan.
"It's not physically tormenting," said George Ubinas, Dallas junior and member of the University chapter. "You run for 50 yards at a time, jump into a car, listen to music and talk to the guys. It's fun. It's a really good way to get to know another chapter of your fraternity."

MARIETTA, Ga.—Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is asking a judge to force his estranged wife to return money he says she is hoarding
Gingrich accuses wife of hoarding shared cash
Randy Evans, Gingrich's attorney, filed a motion Wednesday in Cobb County Superior Court asking that Marianne Gingrich be forced to transfer the money to a joint account within 14 days. It threatens a contempt action if she refuses.
The couple agreed last month to set up the joint account and transfer assets into it until their divorce is final. Evans said Marianne Gingrich still owed the account tens of thousands of dollars. Newt Gingrich has returned to $35,000, while Marianne Gingrich has returned only several thousand, he said.
Marianne Gingrich's attorney, John Mayue, has denied the allegations. Harvey Cohen, the accountant hired to manage the joint account, said he was not aware of any improprieties by either party.
Wednesday's motion was one of a series filed by Newt Gingrich this week in an effort to take the offensive against his wife, who has sought to force him to face formal questioning about his personal and financial affairs. Marianne Gingrich also wants to question Callista Bisek, a congressional aide to whom Newt Gingrich has been linked romantically.
Giuliani's art objection gives Hillary poll boost
Newt Gingrich separated from his wife of 18 years in May and filed for divorce in July.
ALBANY, N.Y.—New York Mayor Rudolph Gulman was hurt by his battle against a controversial art exhibit, narrowing the gap between him and Hillary Rodham Clinton in a possible Senate race, a poll released yesterday.
The statewide poll, from Marist College's Institute for Public Opinion, found Giuliani favored by 46 percent of voters surveyed while 42 percent opted for Clinton, a statistical dead heat because of the poll's margin of error. In a Marist poll out last month, Giuliani led by 49 percent to 40 percent.
The new poll found the mayor's unfavorable rating among New York voters had climbed to 39 percent, the same level as the first lady. In last month's poll, the mayor's unfavorable rating was at 30 percent while Clinton's was at 40 percent
30 percent of those polled this time said their opinion of Giuliani had gotten worse, while 21 percent said their opinion of him had improved.
"Clearly, the museum controversy has had some impact on Giuliani's negative rating, but it hasn't created a stampede toward Hillary," said Marist pollster Lee Mingoff.
Korean War atrocities finally investigated
WORLD
SEOUL, South Korea—The South Korean government began a field investigation yesterday that will look into allegations that hundreds of Korean refugees were killed by U.S. soldiers in the early days of the Korean War.
It marked the first time government investigators had formal interviews with people who have long contended that retreating American soldiers kept South Korean refugees under a railroad bridge at the hamlet of No Gun Ri and killed hundreds of them in July 1950.
The investigators also visited the bullet-scarred railroad bridge.
"On behalf of the government, we offer a sincere apology for coming to this scene so late, nearly 50 years after the incident happened," said Park Chul-ug, leader of an eight-member investigation team.
American veterans confirmed last week the accounts by South Korean villagers who said they saw U.S. forces shoot civilians. South Korean survivors estimated 300 civilians were shot to death and an additional 100 died in a preceding air attack. Previously, both Washington and Seoul had rejected the survivors' claims. The United States and South Korean governments promise thorough investigations.

Police say accounts differ in hate crime

By Katie Hollar
The real danger in last Thursday's hate crime is that it was based on perception, said Buck Rowland, LesBiGayTransgender lionism.
"The victim was beat up because they thought he was gay." Rowland said. "No one should be beaten up for anything, least of all the perceptions we have about people."
At 10:08 a.m. Sept. 30, a 25-year-old University of Kansas employee was attacked by two men at the 800 block of Massachusetts Street. The two suspects, David Hutson and Chris Whidden, were arrested that night on battery charges.
Sgt. George Wheeler, Lawrence police officer, said the victim's and suspects' stories differed.
There are two times in every story, he said. Wheeler said the suspects said that the victim called them a name. Provoked by his insult, they began to beat him.
The victim said he was walking down the street when the suspect made comments to him about the way he walked, called him a name, then beat him up.
Wheeler pointed to two consistencies in the accounts: the homosexual slur and the battery itself. The insult was enough to classify the battery as
"The victim was beat up because they thought he was gay. No one should be beaten up for anything, least of all the perceptions we have about people."
Buck Rowland LesBiGayTransgender liaison
a hate crime, Wheeler said.
The victim appeared Monday on Rowland's "Queer Talk" show on KJHK 90.7. He could not be reached for comment yesterday.
Court proceedings have begun for the suspects. Both suspects were scheduled for preliminary hearings on Tuesday. Court-appointed counsel was ordered for Whidden. A continuance was granted in Hutson's case; his next appearance is scheduled at 1:30 p.m. Oct. 12.
Battery is punishable with between 48 hours and six months in jail and a $200 to $500 fine. Hate crime perpetrators do not face additional punishment in Kansas.

Repairs leave Chancellor scholarship halls in cold
By Lori O'Toole
By Lori O'Toole
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Chancellor Robert Hemenway and scholarship hall residents will have to take cold showers early next week.
Facilities operations will have a steam shutdown beginning Sunday evening and extended as long as Tuesday.
Mike Richardson, facilities operations director, said it will affect buildings on campus that rely on steam. He said the scholarship halls and the Chancellor's house will not have hot water.
The department sent memos to campus buildings that will be affected. Sabrina Marino, Robinson Center employee, said the building would be without hot water and towel
service during the shutdown.
Richardson said the steam would be shut down Sunday between 10 p.m. and midnight to allow the pipes in the system to cool.
Monday morning, workers will perform an asbestos abatement, install chemical injectors and repair a leaky expansion joint.
Richardson said repairs should be completed and the steam should be turned on some time Tuesday.
"We hope to get it done sooner than that." he said.
Each year, an annual steam shutdown occurs the week following commencement. This shutdown was an additional unexpected one.
Battenfeld Scholarship Hall will have a bathroom with hot water. It is located in an annex
that was added to the building in 1987, and it runs on its own hot water heater.
Nate Stange, Wichita junior and hall president, said they will be loaning the bathroom to Watkins Scholarship Hall residents for an hour and a half each night of the shutdown.
Katy Pacey, Manhattan freshman and Watkins resident, said she and the other residents plan to use Battenfeld's bathroom or go to the residence halls.
"They called us and asked us if it would work," Stange said. "We don't mind helping out our neighbors. It will be an inconvenience, but it will be an inconvenience to everyone."
"We weren't too happy about it," she said. "It will be a big inconvenience."

Edwards Campus set to expand
Rapid growth, added programs made new buildings necessary
By Julie Gurnon Special to the Kansan
University of Kansas administrators continue to move toward expansion of the Edwards Campus in Overland Park.
On Sept. 16, the Board of Regents approved the longrange master plan for the Edwards Campus, once known as the Regents Center. The plan, which calls for three new buildings and an extended parking lot, will take 10 years and about $70 million to complete.
"The goal is that 36 months from now we will have been in the new building for at least one academic semester," said Bob Clark, dean of the Edwards Campus.
Clark said he hoped groundbreaking could begin next year but not before achieving several objectives.
The first and most obvious task is raising the funds for the expansion project, which will come from endowments and bonds.
artist's rendering
Second, the Overland Park planning commission must review the plan. Although the commission's approval is not necessary because the Edwards Campus is on state land, the University wants to respect the city's building expectations, Clark said. The review is to take place later this month or early November.
Finally, the campus must establish an advisory board. Clark said he hoped to have the board started by the end of the year.
The growth experienced by the Edwards Campus necessitated the expansion. Clark said.
"In the last two years we have added five new programs, and since the first semester in 1993, we have gone from 19,000 to 30,000 credit hours," he said.
The Edwards Campus' student population has an average age of 32. About 60 percent are married and more than 90 percent work full-time.
Under the long-range plan, the Edwards Campus will be able to serve 5,500 students.
Existing Building
Statistics reveal the sizable market potential for the
University. About 25 percent, or 36,000, of all KU degree holders from all three campuses live in the Kansas City area, said Michon Quick, director of the Rock Chalk Society and Greater Kansas City Area Alumni Programs.
"Plus, there are 60,000 former KU students who did not obtain a degree, and a very large percentage of those students live in Johnson County," she said.
Still, the Edwards Campus expansion concerns the entire University, not just Johnson County. Chancellor Robert Hemenway has been a supportive figure in the expansion process. Clark said.
Hemenway said part of the University's strategic planning was to act as one so that the institution as a whole could prosper.
"Acting as one university will mean that KU lives up to its responsibilities to be Kansas City's research and graduate degree granting university." he said
When the expansion proceeds, the first new building will include 24 classrooms, a 240-seat auditorium, 30 faculty offices and expanded administrative offices.

National chain stores make some local businesses worry
By Derek Prater
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Pop stars LFO may sing about liking girls who wear Abercrombie & Fitch, but not everybody in downtown Lawrence is crazy about the chain store, or about other national chains in the area.
More national chains have entered downtown in recent years and will continue to do so with nascent development projects, causing concern among the owners of local stores.
"People need to realize the difference between businesses that support the community, and ones that just make money off of it," said Sarah Fayman, president of Downtown Lawrence Inc., and owner of Sarah's Fabrics, 925 Massachusetts St. DLI is a business trade group that works to enhance the economic development of downtown Lawrence.
Fayman said that whereas many small, privately owned businesses contribute dues to the DLI to improve the economic climate downtown and the community in general, national chains eschew the organization and give nothing back to the community.
Amanda Rivera, Lake of the Ozarks, Mo., freshman, said that she shipped at national chains downtown and that she saw both sides of the issue.
"It's a good thing and a bad thing," she said. "It opens up more options, but it also brings in more commercialism."
Urban Outfitters. 1015 Massachusetts St., which opened in July, is the latest in the national chain movement downtown, which includes The Gap, 647 Massachusetts St.; Abercrombie & Fitch, 647 Massachusetts St.; and Borders, 700 New Hampshire St.
Fayman said the rumor of more retail chains such as Banana Republic, Eddie Bauer and Talbots was nothing new.
"That rumor has been circulating for a long time, and we do have retail space opening up," Fayman said.
Representatives from The Gap, which owns Banana Republic, Eddie Bauer and Talbots, could not be reached yesterday for comment.
New retail space will be opening up downtown in the next couple of years thanks to development projects on the 600 block of Massachusetts Street and the
Downtown 2000 project, which will develop the 900 block of New Hampshire Street.
Jeff Shmalberg, a partner in 9-10 L.C., the private developers of the Downtown 2000 project, said between 25 and 30 percent of retail space in the project would go to national chains. He said it was important to find viable businesses to guarantee returns on the investments made by the City of Lawrence and private investors.
"The few nationals we have generate a lot of foot traffic and that has to help other stores," Shmalberg said.
"Whether they are local or national isn't the concern." Shmalberg said. "It's whether or not it's a good business."
Shmalberg said that he had spoken with representatives with DLI and that they agreed that a mix of local, regional and national businesses was important.
Fayman said she thought that in some cases competition from national chains was hurting locally owned businesses and that too many chains would hurt the downtown environment.
"We're in a crisis situation, but we are on the edge," Fayman said.
Gould fields evolution, ACLU questions
Rv Todd Halstead

Kansan staff writer
During a lecture yesterday at the University of Kansas, Stephen Jay Gould discussed his views on the evolution debate in Kansas and dismissed KU ACLU's protest of the University's seal as misdirected energy.
He said that compromising with creationists by giving them equal time in school was not the answer.
A capacity crowd of professors and graduate students converged at 10 a.m. at the Big 12 Room in the Kansas Union to hear the Harvard University evolutionary biologist who came to KU as part of the Hall Center for the Humanities' Millennium series.
"The reason the school board's methodology has become such an issue is that science has won on so many other decisions." Gould said. "I understand how embarrassed Kansan intellectuals must feel, but it's not their fault."
He said the Kansas Board of Education couldn't ban evolution in public schools. They made evolution optional because they couldn't teach creationism to balance out science.
"It not a correct educational model to give equal time," Gould said. "Creationists have an idea for equal time, which is great for
political debate but horrible for education."
He said that the board eventually would be legally stymied.
“It’s very important to recognize there is a political struggle.” Gould said. “What you have to do is fight them, isolate them and beat them.”
He said that trying to explain the debate to a European intellectual was like trying to explain the Monica Lewinsky scandal; they don't understand it.
"It isn't an intellectual debate at all, but it shows an American sociocultural history," Gould said. "It comes up in this country given the immense diversity."
When Gould was told about KU ACLU's objections to the University's seal, he said people had to know where to direct their energy. Bible stories such as the one depicted on the seal, he said, were wonderful stories that everyone needed to know.
"No, I love it," he said, looking at the seal. "It's one of those great folk tales of our culture."
Janet Crow, executive director of the Hall Center for the Humanities, said the discussion was necessary for people who wanted to know Gould's opinion about the evolution debate. He did not address the controversy extensively in his speech Wednesday night at the Lied Center.
"There were people who had
questions and who wanted to talk about the debate," Crow said. "And I think that was evident by the amount of people who didn't get up at the end."
Jason Botz, Phoenix graduate student, said Gould covered the basic debate.
"I didn't come with any expectations," Botz said. "I just wanted to listen to the questions. I found it in room 102."

comfortable and informal just as he likes it," said Hanson, who escorted Gould during his time at the University. "People asked very good questions."
Crow declined to divulge the cost of bringing Gould to KU. She said speakers usually cost from $3,000 to $25,000 and that Gould was at the high end of that range.

New commission may eliminate equity from University elections
The student body president's charges should be examined carefully before any changes are made to the student elections process
A task force on elections and referendums began a series of meetings last Tuesday, charged with answering questions about campaign spending limits, fines and the validity of referendums. This task force could lay the groundwork for reversing the recent progress made in the University of Kansas elections system. The student body should not allow this to happen.
Student Body President Korb Maxwell may think that it is necessary to address some of the problems he encountered as a candidate. But what appear to him to be problems in the University elections system are not deficiencies. In fact, they are important regulations meant to bring about fairness in the election system and empower the student body.
The primary charge of the task force is to investigate campaign spending limits. In last year's election, the election commission set spending limits at $1,500 per coalition. Maxwell thinks that the commission went beyond its authority in instituting this policy and that the Student Senate should handle these election issues.
Maxwell is wrong about the role the election commission should play. The commission's responsibility is to ensure fair elections, and it meets this duty by setting spending limits.
Limits on campaign spending establish a fairer playing field for any election. It is difficult for one candidate to compete for office when another candidate has dramatically more money to spend. Not many students can pull enough cash out their bank accounts to pay for thousands of filers, buttons and all the extras such as a psychedelic Volkswagen bus. If the election commission changed our political system, then it was a change for the better, an egalitarian change that the student body should support.
The president's task force also is considering the issue of fines. Fines are a good way to enforce campaign regulations and prevent candidates from breaking the same rules year after year. If we do anything, fines should be increased for repeat offenders.
And if changes are made to the current fine appeals process, independence of the appeals process is crucial. An appeals
process that is part of the political system will not work and is unacceptable.
Finally, the president is concerned that, in the future, invalid referendum questions may find their way onto our ballots. He seeks a system by which the Senate can check referendums for their truth and accuracy.
The task force on elections and referendums is concerned about financially illegitimate proposals, but there are existing checks against them. If a referendum were to pass this year for the University to pay every student $100,000 upon graduation, it wouldn't happen. The chancellor has the power to veto any fee-related proposal. However, if the Senate or president is allowed to edit student referendums or deny them a place on the ballot, students will lose their only independent form of
How can the Senate do this without crushing this form of participatory democracy? If they do not reflect the exact will of the students, referendums would be little more than Senate-sponsored bills that we already get. A student's only method to take action on campus would be to convince a senator to sponsor his or her idea.
governance and will have less individual significance in campus affairs.
All of the issues the task force is considering are important to you. These charges may lead to action that could make campus elections less fair. We can be participants in our own democracy, and we must not be compromised when something its integrity. Our electoral system is fairer with spending limits, and referendums are our political voice. Let the student government know that you don't want to lose either one.

Lucky for him though, just before I dialed the ATF, I saw that the catalog of doom was addressed to a previous resident. Cameroon avoids prison for another day.

1985
Firequest offers 22 different types of alternative shotgun ammunition. For example, the Terminator is one of the most deadly types of ammunition you can purchase. Though it is "almost too lethal to advertise," Firequest does so prominently.
I was overwhelmed at the semi-legal merchandise I could order through the mail. One page of the catalog was filled with non-lethal 12-gauge shotgun ammunition, but the next four pages of the catalog were dedicated to extremely lethal 12-gauge shotgun ammunition.
percent lethality rate. If you replace "expands" with explodes and "objective" with FBI agent, you can see why this stuff makes me a little nervous.
"Upon impact, the slug expands to nearly 2 inches," causing a dozen little pellets to "spread through your objective like a cancerous disease." The catalog then claims that the slug has a 95
Other than the Terminator, Firequest also offers ammunition called the Door Duster, Screamer, Chain Mail, Flame Thrower and my personal favorite, the Macho Gaucho. Everything you need to fend off any conspiring government force encroaching onto your compound.
There's more than just ammunition, though. In the paperweights section of the catalog, there is a brass object that looks suspiciously like brass knuckles. "Hold down those unruly stacks of papers with these icons, and your coworkers might think twice before adding to your stack," the catalog says. These "replicas" are "full size" and "look and feel like the real thing." The next item in the catalog—lead-lined gloves, which apparently will not hold down your unruly stack of papers.
For the literary-minded of the separatist set, Firequest offers a full line of doit-yourself anarchy books. Firequest can supply would-be anarchists with a $14.99 book with instructions on how to make your own AR-15 assault rifle. Another book will show you how to modify your new home-built AR-15 into a fully automatic machine gun. As they say at Firequest, "The First and Second Amendments to the United States Constitution allow the dissemination and use of this knowledge." Thank goodness for that.
You may ask yourself, once I built this new weapon, who could I kill with it? That question and more are answered in another book sold by Firequest called *Justifiable Homicide: The*
Intelligent Use of Deadly Force. Now, to be sure, you can't judge a book by its cover, but the cover of this book shows a pistol blowing a hole through a black-masked intruder. Draw your own conclusion.
To be sure, I was fascinated by this catalog, so I called the company's headquarters, which, not surprisingly, is located in Arkansas.
"Hello, Firequest, this is Joseph, how can I help you?"
“Hi, Joseph. I'm considering purchasing a grenade launcher, but I'm not sure which one's right for me,” I said.
"Hmm. That's a big decision," he said. "What sort of gun do you have?"
"I have to own a gun? Maybe I'll get some of those brass knuckle replica paper weights."
"Those are one of our big sellers," Joseph said.
"Joseph, do you really think people use them for paperweights?"
He laughed for a little too long and said, "I don't ask any questions."
"Why does the catalog say they can't be sent to Denver?"
"They're illegal there. Don't ask me why."
"That's the government for you," I said. "They won't even let law-abiding citizens hold papers on their desk in the manner they choose."
"It's a crime, man, so you gonna order some?" Joseph said.
I decided against giving Joseph any of my credit card information and hung up. For Firequest to make any money from me, they'll have to pry my credit card from my cold, dead fingers.
Writer's note: For reasons relating to my fear of home-built weapons, please do not forward this column to any address in Arkansas.

Y2K hype gives no reason to stockpile bottled water
1 At least, that's what some people tell me. The world as we know it will spontaneously end at 12 a.m., Jan. 1, 2000. At that moment, all of the computers we have created, formed in the image of our own minds, will turn on us. And, theoretically, eat us.
it's not too long until we as a society are going to get wallpapers upside the head.
It's a fatal flaw in our filmstrip vision of the future. It's a Bill Gates conspiracy. It's the new Titanic, the 1990s symbol of man's
hubris (so smug we are in our continual progress, in our earth-shaking technologies). Or maybe it's just a plot by the French to sell more bottled water.
We're in the process of being suffocated by Y2K hype, and, I have to say, I haven't quite subscribed to it. Yet.
I'm not going to stockpile bottle water or invest in grain. I'm not going to flee to the hills
or comforty asimee creature are you?
I appreciate your concern, I really do. And
I am bracing myself to be deluged by the
bottles of water (can you be deluged by
BOTTLED water?) that you dear worried
souls no doubt will send me (seeing as how
I am so well-respected in this community).
Either way, doesn't it make for a great story?
in anticipation of the event. I probably won't get around to withdrawing all my money from the bank and buying gold or silver or Beanie Babies (the currency of the future).
"Ack!" some of you may gasp. "What kind of foolhardy asinine creature are you?"
And if the world remains, we will be together, knowing that we exhausted one night, not knowing what daylight would bring.
But I'll be fine. I've lasted this long, haven't I? If the world survives past Jan. 1, so much the better. If it doesn't, I expect to see some incredibly awesome fireworks. I'll take whatever comes. That's really all I can do.
The point is, we won't know until we get there. We will be together in the desert, faced with the possibility that the world has been annihilated, and we are among the handful of survivors. And we will be content with that possibility.

Maybe it's the music I listen to, or maybe it's the fact that lately I've spent way too much time driving down rain-pummeled streets at 2 a.m., but I find myself occupied with apocalyptic thoughts. I don't think that the world will end on New Year's Day. Sure, I am willing to consider that it might. Who knows? But it brings up a question which everyone should ponder: where are you going to be on New Year's Eve?
I plan to drag some friends on a road trip through the American Southwest. On New Year's Eve, we will drive out into the desert, 10 or 15 miles from some town or other. With us we will take several bottles of champagne and maybe a couple of guitars.
In the morning, we will wake up, get in the car and drive to whatever town is nearby. We won't know what will meet us in that town. We may march in bravely, only to be met with a town full of people who are sleeping off millennial hangovers, safe in their beds, the world unharmed in the hip-pocket of technology. Or we may walk right into utter chaos.
We will camp in the desert, build a bonfire, spend the night drinking and talking, singing and laughing. We will swathe ourselves with intelligent conversation. And then we will go to sleep in the dead night calm.

Art, like religion should be separate from government
I must contend that the October 4th editorial regarding Rudy Giuliani's threats toward the Brooklyn Museum of Art is at best, laughable.
Art, as you may wish to call it, will survive regardless of government funding. Funding for the arts is not a function of government as laid out in the Constitution and for good reason.
Why should government officials disperse our tax dollars to the artists of their choice? Are we not allowing the government to favor art expressions as it deems proper? Are we not permitting government to mettle with artistic flavor? When social welfare recipients, cities or states accept federal funding, they must abide by
certain restrictions, so why should art be treated any differently? Government separates itself from religion, yet it flourishes, so again, why should art be treated differently?
The debate is much larger than this exhibit. The country needs to reexamine why we are funding artists and galleries that are skilled in grant writing, rather than simply defending the freedom of expression.
al laws and agencies and executive orders. Take the time to write an educated, researched editorial that delves below the surface of an issue.
Of all the civil liberties that are being compromised these days, I can't believe you, the editorial board, would waste ink on art funding infringements. The 2nd Amendment, possibly the most important freedom for maintaining our civil rights, is attacked on a daily basis. The 10th Amendment, which was written to prevent an overly powerful federal government has been buried under the multitude of feder-

The musical Schoolhouse Rock Live! uses puppets, catchy tunes and dancing to teach subjects ranging from the history of the women's suffrage movement to multiplication.
University Theatre will open its 1999-2000 season with the musical at 8 tonight and tomorrow at Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall. Schoolhouse Rock Live! is a joint production between University Theatre and the Lawrence-based company the Seem-To-Be Players.
Written by Scott Ferguson, Kyle Hall and George Keating, the musical is based on Schoolhouse Rock, the animated educational videos shown between ABC-TV Saturday morning cartoons from 1973 to 1985.
Even though the musical is based on a cartoon, it is a show for people of all ages.
“It’s a wonderful piece,” said Ric Averill, founder and director of the Seem-To-Be-Players. “No one should think it’s just children’s theater — it’s rock 'n' roll at its best.”
In the stage version, Tom, a first-year teacher, is worried his students will not want to learn. Eight characters from Schoolhouse Rock visit him and encourage him on his first day of class by performing songs such as "Conjunction Junction" and "I'm Just a Bill." They remind Tom that if he teaches the children the way the
songs teach, the children will want to learn.
"It's a celebration of kinesthetic learning with audience participation." Averill said.
For the number "Figure Eight," cast members each have their own wheels, such as in-line skates, a skateboard or a tricycle, to form figure eights.
Laura Pardue, Topea sophomore, and Ryan Butts, Protection sophomore, who play Schoolhouse Rock characters, skate around the stage.
"It's not every day you see someone
skating on stage," Pardue said. "I concentrate on not going off the stage."
The bright colors of the costumes and scenery of the show reflect the '70s. A rainbow is on the center stage floor. A sun, clouds and rainbows are on the backdrop.
Cast members said that the dancing was one of the musical's highlights. Marianne Kubik, assistant professor of theatre and film, choreographed the show.
"It's a lot more dancing than we expected," said Colum Morgan, Austin, Texas, junior. "She turned us

upside down, though."
Shane Scheel, a member of the Seem-To-Be-players who plays the teacher and is musical director, will perform songs he heard growing up.
"I remember the teachers bringing the videos into the classroom," he said. "It was a learning tool for me."
The Seem-To-Be Players planned to put on Schoolhouse Rock Live! a few years ago as a fund raiser. University Theatre also wanted to perform the musical and contacted the company about having a joint production. Ticket revenues will be split between the two.
The musical will go on a Kansas tour in Hays and Iola later this month and later to Santa Rosa, Calif. Expenses will be paid by the Seem-To-Be Players.

Saturday Night Live's Shannon is Superstar in Gallagher movie
By Rachel Kesselman Special to the Kansan
Molly Shannon, a cast member of Saturday Night Live, discussed the making of her upcoming movie, Superstar, which brings the character of Mary Catherine Gallagher, a nervous Catholic school girl in search of fame, to the silver screen:
A:What were the changes made in order for the Mary Katherine Gallagher skit to be made into a movie?
Q. Well in the skit you have to tell the story really quickly and you don't have time to establish the character. In the movie, it was a time to tell more intimate details of the character.
Q:Do the falls that you take in the skit and the movie take a toll on you?
A:Yeah, it takes toll on you after a while.
A: Yeah, it takes toll on you after a while.
Q:What was it like to kiss the tree in the movie and how did you prepare?
A: Will (Ferrell) and I always say that you have to play the real moment. Like play the scene truthfully. Not act like you are doing comedy, but like you are doing an intimate scene with somebody.
Q:What do Mary Katherine Gallagher's armpts smell like, since she smells them so much?
A:What do they smell like? Well they smell a little sweet and sour.
Q:How were you persuaded to turn your skit into a movie?
A:Well, Lorne Michaels (SNL, executive producer) came to me and asked me about it first. And then he let me think about it. And then I wanted to see if the writer was available. With this guy Steve Koren who I get along with very well, I wanted to see if he was available. As soon as I saw that he was available I decided to do it.
Q:So did you write any of it?
A:Yeah, well I worked very closely with him, yeah.
Q:What gave you the idea to put Mary Katherine Gallagher's underwear on display?
A:That was more sort of happened by accident in the first sketch. Like the first time I did the character with Gabriel Byrne in the first sketch there was a joke that had me singing a song and I put my leg up on a stool and my underpants must have been showing. And then between dress and air, Lorne Michaels said maybe you should make your skirt a bit higher. Maybe you show your underwear during the joke. So that was actually Lorne's idea. And then it just kept being that I would show my underwear and stuff.
Alt was great because he was from *Kids in the Hall* and he used to be a performer himself. So he was really great to work with; he is really into style. He is character and he knew when to let you keep going. And he was a performer himself. And it's
Q: What was it like to be directed by Bruce McCulloch?
great when directors are actors. Because directors that are actors are able to direct that actors better than actors who just direct.
Q:Was there anybody you were particularly star struck by at the SNL 25 anniversary special?
A! really love Adam Sandler, even though I like know him. I still get so excited to see him. And I love Chris Rock. And I love seeing Bill Murray of course.
A:Yeah, she would probably like the same people as me.
Q:Would Mary like the same people (from SNL) that you do?
Q: Were you involved in the choreography of Mary Katherine Gallagher's finale?
A:Oh no, we had a choreographer, this one Marion Kellogg came on and did that. She choreographed that whole thing. No, I couldn't do all that. And in Cafeteria dance too, she choreographed that too.
A:Well, one girl rented one, one weekend. There were only a couple for each scene. And you know what was so weird, I never even noticed. And I couldn't believe how many people noticed that in the movie, because I don't notice that for some reason. But Bruce (McCulloch) is very into that. I think one day I saw 10.
Q:How many lime-green Volkswagen Bugs were on set during the making of this movie? And did you get to keep one at the end of the shoot?
Q:Can you tell us how you developed the character (Mary Katherine Gallagher)? How much of you is in it?
Q:How long have you been doing the Robot dance?
A:Bruce McCulloch is really into the Robot for some reason. And he asked me to do the Robot and I was like what's the Robot? So we just did the Robot for some reason. I just learned it last summer when we did the movie.
Q:How good of a kisser is Will Ferrell?
A: Will Ferrell. You know I really don't know because I'm seriously good friends with his girlfriend in real life. So I would never even really try to say, but it was very much a movie kiss. So I really couldn't tell.
would you like Mary Katherine Gallagher to star with in a future SNL skit? A: There is so many. Tina Turner. Steven Tyler from Aerosmith was pretty amazing. I love to do one with Courtney Love. That would be great. I like her, that would be great. She is ballys and stuff. I'd like to do one with Courtney Love. She could be mean and she doesn't mind if people care about her and I like that. I'm always too Catholic
Q:Are there any new impressions that you have been working on for the new season of SNL?
and concerned about pleasing everybody.
A:No, not yet. I'm doing How the Grinch Stole Christmas right now. I'm doing this until Christmas. So I'm in town for this show. Then I'm doing the Grinch in LA. So I'll be flying in for the shows (SNL), so I'm a little stressed out. So I'm going to be doing that.
Q:How is it working with Jim Carrey on How the Grinch Stole Christmas?
A:He is so great. People think comedians are wild all the time and funny. He is very serious and approaches comedy very seriously. He is playing the Grinch and he goes to the Christmas tree and he does it very technically. And I think some people have a misconception that people are always on and zany and really the truth is comedians are usually pretty dark people in real life. Now I don't know If I can say that for him personally, but for most comedians that I know their serious and more on the dark side. And they approach their comedy seriously.
Q:Are you on the dark side?
A:Very much so.
Q:Do you think you will turn that dark and angry side over to dramatic aspect of acting? A:Maybe I love the dramatic aspect of comedy. I love in the Mary Katherine skit when you can do the monologues.
Q:Where do you get all those monologues you use in the Marv Katherine skit?
AThey are totally made up. They really are movies I like. The camper the better, but they are made up. But for some reason, I shouldn't say I should keep it a secret. I do know those movies, but I do make up those monologues. But they are subjects I like.
Q:What was it like working with Tom Green? A:He was great. Actually that was so funny because I didn't know Tom Green. And this was way before his giant special hit MTV. And I was like who is this guy, oh. And Tom was very nice. He was very quiet and then he exploded. So you got to know that I met him and I knew nothing about him, or his show. But Bruce McCulloch is Canadian and knew him and said this guy was great. I should have kissed his ass more since he has become super famous.
Q:How was it working with Drew Barrymore on Never Been Kissed?
A:She is the best. She is a friend of mine.
She is the nicest girl. She is so smart and only 24 years old. And she is a total role model for me. She is fearless and it's unbelievable how much pressure she has, but that's the difference because she has been doing (movies) for so long. But I always think about her during interviews because she is so positive. It's amazing how much she handles and she is such a smart, savvy business woman. And I have load of respect for her. And she is really, truly one of the nicest people I know.
Choices made nerves frayed; fraternity bids made tonight
By Lori O'Toole

Kansan staff writer
Ryan Beard will find out tonight which fraternity will invite him to join — and he's nervous about it.
"It's hard to get to know the people in only a half hour," the Wichita freshman said. "It's also hard to give a good first impression. This is a big decision. It's where I'll be living for the next three years."
He is one of about 40 students participating in formal fraternity recruitment that will receive their bids tonight before attending individual chapter events.
The participants also will decide tonight whether to sign with the fraternity that invited them.
Beard said he only would join if he received a bid from a house he would be comfortable with.
It's not a good idea to join one you don't think you'll like just for the sake of joining a fraternity," he said.
The formal recruitment process began Sunday with the first night of fraternity chapter open houses.
Kelly Jo Karnes, assistant director of greek programs, said 10 students joined the process late. There were 30 students registered at the time of the deadline.
"It was really relaxed," he said. "It was good because you had a lot of freedom."
Beard said the open houses were helpful in evaluating which chapters he liked. He said the organization was one of the aspects which convinced him to take part in the formal process.
Like the other participants, he was able to spend as much time as he needed at each house, where he took tours and talked to members. He said the time he spent at each house ranged from 20 minutes to an hour.
He also said that he had to be careful not to let the physical structure of the house influence his interpretation of the people and the personality of the chapter.
"Some of the houses were just beautiful," he said. "But if you don't like the people there, the house isn't going to matter."
Last night, members from Delta Upsilon and other chapters accompanied participants who chose to attend a speech at the Lied Center in which Dave Westol, Theta Chi International Fraternity executive director, spoke about hazing.
"He puts out a really good message that if you're ever in an uncomfortable situation, whether in a Greek house or a residence hall, you need to do something about it and get out." Karnes said.
After the speech, participants attended between four and five invitational parties at houses. They chose which parties to attend from invitations they received earlier in the day.
Karnes said the participants ranked the houses they received invitations to in order of preference. She said the Interfraternity Council would use their feedback to coordinate the bids.

House passes bill for patient rights
Legislation includes provisions for suing insurance companies
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON— After a two-year struggle, the House approved a sweeping bill meant to give patients a stronger hand in dealing with their health insurance companies, including a controversial new right to file lawsuits.
The final vote, 275-151, came after intense lobbying on both sides, including President Clinton, who phoned lawmakers from Air Force One.
"It is time we asked the insurance industry to be responsible for its actions," said Rep. Charlie Norwood, RGa., who joined with Democrats to push the bill — first to the House floor and then to passage.
Earlier yesterday, the House rejected a GOP-backed patient protection bill that included new rights to sue, but only in federal court and only in limited circumstances. That vote was 238-193, with 29 Republicans joining all but two Democrats.
For two years, Democrats have put the GOP on the defensive about the politically popular HMO issue. Republican leaders, struggling with a slim majority and a fractured caucus, did not endorse any bill until debate opened on the issue this week.
But they worked fiercely in recent days to rally support for their version. Many Republicans reluctantly supported it in hopes of defeating the broader Democratic bill, and supporters painted it as a compromise between the Democratic approach and doing nothing.
"We've got a solid, balanced approach that I urge you to support," said House
Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-III. "The difference in these bills is how far you go. How far you give license to the trial lawyers."
But Democrats argued that it did not go far enough.
"It fails to hold health care providers accountable. It lets them off the hook," said Minority Leader Dick Gephardt, D-Mo.
Now the House bill must be reconciled with a considerably more limited version already approved by the Senate. The Senate bill has no new rights to sue and excludes many Americans from other patient protections.
Federal law now effectively bans such lawsuits for millions of Americans, even if they are injured or die because of an HMO's decision.
The bill approved yesterday allows patients to sue HMOs in federal or state court and to collect whatever damages a jury might award.
Democratic leaders feared that concerns about how to pay for it may cost them votes, but Clinton sought to clarify that he still strongly supports the bill. He promised not to sign any bill that was not fully paid for.
Democrats and some Republicans argued that the threat of a lawsuit was needed to force insurance companies to provide promised care.
"We tell welfare mothers, we tell dead-bad爸, you have to be responsible for yourself," said Norwood, the leading Republican backer of the right to sue.
The GOP strategy has been to focus attention on the uninsured, as Republicans argue that new rights will drive up the cost of insurance and force employers to drop coverage. Hammering the point Wednesday, Republicans pushed through a bill, 227-205, aimed at reducing the ranks of the uninsured, which now stand at 44 million.
Iraq, United States attempt to improve relations
Hussein promises changes in message sent to Clinton
The Associated Press
AMMAN, Jordan—Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein has sent a message to President Clinton promising major political reforms in Iraq and offering to stop threatening Israel, a leading Arabic newspaper reported yesterday.
The London-based AlHayat newspaper said the message included an offer for unconditional talks with the United States and assurances that Iraq will play an effective role in the Middle East peace process.
The message is being carried by Jordan's King Abdullah II, who is scheduled to meet with Clinton on Tuesday in Washington.
Administration officials, however, doubted that Iraq would make a serious overture to the United States through Abdullah.
"The Iraqis regularly seek to have discussions with American officials, and we're not interested in those discussions," said State Department spokesman James P. Rubin on Wednesday.
Iraiqi leader Saddam Hussein has sent a message to President Clinton promising major political reforms in Iraq.
SYRIA IRAQ
Amman
ISRAEL JORDAN
SAUDI ARABIA
If the Al-Hayat report is correct, it would mark
a major turnaround in Iraq's hard-line policies and show a willingness to mend fences with its main enemies, the United States and Israel.
In return, Iraq wants Washington to drop its threats to put Saddam and his senior aides on trial as war criminals, AlHayat said.
Al-Hayai said the Iraqi leadership wanted to start reforms, including a new constitution, a multiparty system and respect for human rights.
Cement-filled bombs used by planes to cut the civilian casualties
The Associated Press
ISTANBUL, Turkey—In a move to minimize civilian casualties, U.S. warplanes have been dropping bombs filled with cement and not explosives in raids on Iraqi installations, a military official said yesterday.
The 2,000- to 3,000-pound laser-guided bombs are still capable of causing damage, especially when dropped from high altitudes by a speeding jet, said Lt. Col. Michael Waters, a spokesman for Operation Northern Watch, the allied effort to patrol a no-fly zone above northern Iraq.
The new bombs were introduced following Iraqi allegations that the constant bombings by U.S. jets in response to Iraqi anti-aircraft fire were causing civilian casualties.
"We are extremely careful about collateral damage." Waters said. "We have used those bombs."
"If you drop it on a radio, it could break the radio without blowing up." Waters said.
Operation Northern Watch warplanes are based at Incirlik air base in southern Turkey.
U. S. and British planes have been patrolling no-fly zones above northern and southern Iraq since the 1991 Persian Gulf War to protect Kurdish and Shiite minorities from the forces of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
The cement-filled bombs also cut the cost of the operation. American and British pilots often drop bombs a few times a week. They use anything from $12,000 laser-guided bombs to $80,000 Maverick missiles.
"The guidance equipment is still there but the cement is less expensive than explosives," Waters said.
Wyoming addressing issue of intolerance after Shepard murder
The Associated Press
LARAMIE, Wyo.—In the year since gay college student Matthew Shepard was beaten and left to die on the freezing prairie, Laramie has done a lot of thinking about intolerance.
The public schools have changed their conflict-resolution classes to focus more on preventing bullying, and in particular the harassment of gays. At the University of Wyoming, where Shepard was studying political science, education students are learning how to teach tolerance.
And in what could be a sign of a growing public acceptance, the United Gays and Lesbians of Wyoming group reports that membership has increased from 150 to 250 since Shepard was killed.
"Most of our faculty were really appalled, had trouble believing it could happen here, and some went into denial," said Charles Head, superintendent of Laramie schools. "But they recognized that it did happen here and we had to address that."
The ways Laramie has changed since Oct. 7, 1998, will come into sharper focus next week as Aaron McKinney goes on trial for murder beginning Monday — which also happens to be National Coming Out Day and the beginning of Gay Awareness Week.
McKinney, 22, could get the death penalty if convicted. Russell Henderson, 22, pleaded guilty for his role in the murder and is serving a life sentence. He has been subpoenaed to testify.
Shepard. 21, was lured from a bar, driven out of town, robbed of $20, tied to a fence, pistol-whipped into a coma and left to die. A bicyclist who found him nearly hidden in the sagebrush 18 hours later at first thought the slight, 5-foot-2 inch Shepard was a scarecrow.
Many of Laramie's 26,000 residents felt the town was unfairly portrayed as a rural, homophobic outpost. But they were also troubled by the fact that McKinney and Henderson were homegrown.
Since then, Laramie schools — motivated also by the massacre at Colorado's Columbine High School — have increased their sensitivity toward bullying and the mistreatment of homosexuals.
"I kind of doubt if sexual orientation was being addressed to any real degree prior to this tragedy, and I'm reasonably certain that it is being addressed as we speak." Head said.
At the university, President Philip Dubois asked trustees to make certain that every campus policy statement banned discrimination based on sexual orientation.
The university also plans to raise $1.5 million to endow the Matthew Shepard Chair of Civil Liberties. A benefit concert by Elton John in June brought in $55,000.
The attack on Shepard was one of six hate crimes in the past year in Wyoming, which is nicknamed the Equality State. The others — three against American Americans, one against an Asian American and one against a Jew — were not fatal.

Students present healthy ways to calm hunger pangs
Book review
By Clare McLellan
Beyond Ramen
admit it — macaroni and cheese is quite possibly my favorite dish. At least it's right up there with late-night pizza and Taco Bell. There is nothing more beautiful than a steaming bowl of those goldenrod noodles and the pungent smell of processed cheese.
As much as you might love these foods, they are slightly lacking in nutritional value. In the never ending quest to guide college students toward a healthier diet while keeping the budget low, three of our peers created "The Healthy College Cookbook."
The book was written while authors Alexandra Nimetz, Jason Stanley and Emeline Starr were students Williams College
the introduction, "This book was designed to answer our concerns (and yours) about how to eat healthfully on a tight budget, with a busy schedule and with little cooking experience."
For the most part, the book delivers. Being a novice cook, I found a lot of useful information about how to get started in the kitchen. The first chapter deals with basic kitchen necessities — cooking terms, definitions of spices and tips on shopping for, preparing and storing different foods.
here, though. They denote exceptionally quick recipes with a clock symbol, but the recipes I happened to choose were not all that quick. Authors' favorites are marked with a star, and vegetarian dishes outside of the vegetarian menu.
The next 11 chapters contain both traditional and innovative recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack time. One chapter is devoted entirely to side dishes and sauces, another to vegetarian delights and another for meat lovers. There is something in this book to satisfy all tastes.
Also guiding amateur cooks along the way are "Mom's Tips," which are scattered throughout the book. Pointers on keeping food fresh and sanitary and running an efficient kitchen are offered. Also included are "Kitchen Quick Tips" on additional and/or alternative ingredients for some recipes along with fun facts about food.
On the cover, the book claims to be "Quick. Cheap. Easy." Having tried several recipes, I'm not sure I can vouch for that statement. For one, the eggplant parmesan is NOT quick (15 minutes to prepare, 30 minutes to bake), nor cheap (when was the last time you checked the price of eggplant?) and easy? Well, it doesn't require a Rhodes Scholar by any means. But for a beginner who's used to dumping noodles into boiling water, adding some powdered cheese and volla — dinner is served, easy is not the word that comes to mind for the eggplant dish.
The authors deserve credit
the vegetarian chapter are marked as well. This is helpful when searching for the truly quick and tasty meal
One such meal is a variation on a college student staple, Ramen noodles, in the recipe for Ramen noodle stir-fry. It is tolerably quick, full of vegetables and rather tasty with only two grams of fat per serving. A bit higher in fat but absolutely delectable is the beef stroganoff. As described in the book as, "A great hot dish for cold winter nights," this meal is sure to please.
For a different dessert, try the lemon almond biscotti. Usually served with coffee, this biscotti is an Italian treat that was remarkably easy to make. A definite way to impress those doubting your cooking ability. I do have one gripe about the dessert section: too much emphasis on trying to be healthy. It's dessert. It's generally not worth it if it doesn't contain all the fat that makes dessert the most anticipated part of the meal. The recipes sound good, but I was hoping for some richer options.
Health is a big theme of this cookbook, which can be appreciated. The book makes some substitutions for fattier ingredients such as mayonnaise, helping readers to avoid extra minutes on the stairmaster. Although it made me a bit nervous at first, substituting plain yogurt in places I'd rather not, it works well. The banana shake, made with yogurt, was surprisingly choice, and the recipe can be used with other fruits.
For what it was intended to be, this book is a great resource for college students looking to spice up their diet without a lot of experience and time. Don't expect every recipe's prep time to be five to 10 minutes, and don't plan on all the ingredients being cheap. But it is rewarding to be able to say, "Hey, I made eggplant Parmesan for dinner last night and some biscotti for dessert." Your macaroni-eating friends will be impressed, and Mom will be proud.
And for those die-hards out there, page 79 has a variation of mac & cheese if you ever tire of the box variety.

zygote
Popper's groove proves elusive on solo album
By Bryan Anderson Kanson music critic
When I say "jolly fat man with a funny hat," you probably think of the mascot for holiday season-consumerism. When I say "jolly fat man with a funny hat and harmonica," you probably think of John Popper.
John Popper, the harmonica-toting front man of Blues Traveler has released his first solo album, entitled Zygote. What is this compulsion for solo records? Artists who succeed, such as Lionel Richie, end up leaving their bands. Artists who fail end up making albums like this.
John Popper is a talented vocalist and a proficient harmonica player, and his band includes the likes of Carter Beauford from the Dave Mathews Band. Popper has the artillery for an excellent blues album, but it was not to be.
John Popper is at his best when he is in a lyrical glove and walling away on his harmonica. Unfortunately, these
Album facts
moments are few and far between.
Title: Zygote
Artist: John Popper
Grade: C -
Label: A& M Records
"Miserable Bastard" is a funk-tinged blues number. Popper brought along the Blues Traveler aptitude for dragging on a song, extending this boring groove for nearly seven-and-a-half minutes. Popper should leave jamming to the experts such as Phish or Widespread Panic, or even Blues Traveler.
Another problem with his album is uninspired lyrics. On "Growing in Dirt," Popper sings "And grow in dirt, and it can hurt/ to grow in dirt/ sometimes it hurts." Deep, man.
On the song "How about Now," blues-prodigy Jonny Lang steps up for a music writing credit, but his guitar talent is squandered in this mellow acoustic jam that never really gets going.
One of the few bright spots on this album is the bluesy piano ballad "Home." As it is with this song, most of the better moments on Popper's album come when he sounds as if Blues Traveler is backing him up.
John Popper should give up the silly notion of being a solo act, go back to Blues Traveler and headline the H.O.R.D.E. festival like normal. This album is uninteresting and not an easy listen.

U.S. soccer team ambushes Arrowhead
By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Maybe it was the overwhelming crowd support, the home-country advantage, or maybe just the fact it scored a lot more goals than Finland.
No matter what the circumstances were, everything went according to plan as the United States women's soccer team won 6-0 last night in the U.S. Cup at Arrowhead Stadium.
"The atmosphere is fantastic," DiCicco said. "What a great soccer crowd — the largest ever midweek soccer crowd, so that says something. And I'll say the energy here was fantastic."
A rowdy crowd of fans, the largest ever to attend a soccer game in Kansas City, witnessed a dominating performance by the United States. The support pleased coach Tony DiCicco.
Mia Hamm, the world's top player and most prolific scorer, captivated the crowd with an array of moves, dished out three first half assists and paced the United States to victory. Hamm said she was pleased with how the team played.
The crowd's energy seemed to spark the U.S. team as many players
"To be honest with you, we've struggled with Finland in the past and so it was an important goal we won now." Hamm said. "Every single player out there was dynamic

today and made a difference."
The scoring began late in the ninth minute when Hamm lofted a cross from the left side to forward Tiffeny Milbrett, who drove the ball into the upper net. Four minutes later Hamm was at it again, firing a cross to a charging Joy Fawcett, who drove a right-footed shot into the top of the net.
In the 36th minute, Hamm completed her third assist when she fed the ball to defender Sara Whalen, who had charged up field.

Fairy tale apathy realistic among Kansas, K-State players, fans
Once upon a time there was a mighty King with a grand vision.
He wanted his kingdom to be the most glorious in all of the land.
To help accomplish his goals he bore a son and named him Lancelot. He trained the son in archery and swordplay, and Lancelot grew up proud and strong. He practiced his technique for years and years until he was among the finest in both skills.
swashbuckling his way to nation. In a nearby kingdom, another heir was born around the same time. He was called Billy Bob. His talent was obvious from a young age, and he also became accomplished in archery and swordplay.
Because of the proximity of the two kingdoms, an immediate competitive spirit began to develop between the two. So Lancelot and Billy Bob traveled throughout the known world, winning tournaments and occasionally battling head-to-head.
But a deepseated hatred was beginning to grow between the two kingdoms. The townspeople of each realized that the other's competitor was stealing accolades from ___

Then, on a warm autumn day, Lancelot was walking along the road when a group of soldiers rode by on horseback. One of the horses kicked up a rock, and it hit Lancelot in his right eye. He went to every witch doctor in the Yellow Pages, but alas, he could no longer focus as well at far away objects.

greatest workmanship in the game. Bowie jugged to beat the improved Lancelot in swordplay. He became discouraged with the blade and worked on his archery day and night.
At first, Lancelot's townspeople were outraged that he could not defeat Billy Bob in archery. They would pine for weeks after every bad performance, grinding their teeth and thinking of ways to help Lancelot improve his aim.
But as the years passed, the townpeople grew restless, showing more and more support for Lancelot's swordplay and less for archery.
The best sword makers with the finest steel began to donate swords only to Lancelot. They knew more of their customers would be following him instead of Billy Bob. And the finest arrow craftsmen gave their products only to Billy Bob because they didn't want to be associated with a shabby marksman.
So each man won at his chosen activity each time. Unbelievably, the townspeople of each kingdom began to cheer for both competitors in their dominant field even displaying the colors of the other kingdom on the bumpers of their horse-drawn carts and on flags outside their thatched houses.
The hard-core loyalists never turned against their heroes but began to accept inadequacies of Lancelot and Billy Bob.
Cries of "Just wait until sword season!" and "We'll see you on the archery field!" could be heard throughout the countryside.

With an ominous history of playing Baylor, Kansas loads for bear
Rv Shawn Hutchinson
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas volleyball team will be looking to avoid a mauling this weekend.
The Baylor Bears, fresh from knocking off No.14 Texas A&M on Wednesday night, head to Lawrence for a showdown with the Jayhawks at 7 p.m. tomorrow at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
Family Athletic Center
The Jayhawks are 12-4 overall and 3-2 in the Big 12 Conference, while Baylor is 15-3 and 3-
2. Both teams are tied for fourth place in the Big 12, and both are on a two-match winning streak.
"We feel really comfortable with our ability right now," Kansas middle blocker Amanda Reves said. "So we're looking forward to a competitive match."
The Jayhawks' winning streak includes a 3-1 victory against Texas Tech last Saturday at home, and a 3-1 road win against Oklahoma on Wednesday night. Baylor's win streak includes a 3-0 win against Missouri,
and the 3-2 upset against Texas A&M.
"Baylor has to be feeling pretty good right now," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "That was a huge win for them."
Kansas hasn't had many wins against Baylor in its history. In fact, the Jayhawks only have one — in 1985. The Jayhawks have since lost eight straight to the Bears, including two losses last season — a 3-0 loss in Waco, Texas, and a 3-2 loss in Lawrence.
Baylor is led by senior middle blocker and outside hitter Kia Young, who has 263 kills on the season, and senior outside hitter Elisha
VOLLEYBALL
Polk, who paces the squad with 251 digs. Baylor's two setters, freshman Kristin Sheppard and sophomore Dana Chuha, have a combined 811 assists on the season.
"They'll be very unlike the last two teams that we've played," Beachard said. "Oklahoma and Tech both wanted short rallies because they were big and physical and not as mobile, whereas Baylor is very athletic. It'll be a huge
contrast to what we've seen in the last couple of matches."
Vollevball notes
Kansas is on its way to having one of the best seasons in the program's history. With 12 wins to date, Kansas already has more victories than six former Jayhawk teams, and with three wins already in the Big 12, the 1999 squad could end up with the most conference wins in school history. The record is currently held by the 1991 team, which went 6-7 in Big Eight play.

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 6.
You might be upset enough to sue somebody. If you were going to do that, it would probably be about a work-related issue. You don't like to put up with much, nor should you. Don't punch anybody in the nose, though. If it's really that bad, you'll have a good case.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
Gemini: Today is a 10.
You may be hurting today. Is there a habit you could change that would help you to feel better? Consult a professional. Don't try to figure it out all by yourself. If you've known how to fix it, you'd already have done it by now, right?
You're incredibly lucky today. Launch new projects now — personal, work-related, romantic. Make it happen. This is the kind of day when dreams could come true. What they are and what that will look like when it happens is up to you. Get busy.
Cancer: Today is a 6.
You love to take care of others, but you're under a bit of stress today. People you love don't want to go along with your plans, which are probably good for them. Why can't they see that? There's no point in beating around the bush. Come right out and say it.
Leo: Today is a 6.
It's time for you to learn something new. Or, if you already know everything, you should teach. This is not an option; it's a requirement. Amazing as it sounds, you could become a stronger person as a result of what you must do now.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
You really want to do something, possibly a class, that's put a dent in your budget. You may have slightly overextended yourself. Don't worry. If you hustle, you can have it all. Nothing like a little pressure to get you going, and this time you caused it yourself!
Libra: Today is an 8.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
You're powerful and good looking. You're a creative person, and your talents are enhanced right now. You're easily distracted, though. Does a special relationship need a bit of work? How about a private conversation to get the thorn out.
Sagittarius: Today is a 7.
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
If you're worried about something, it's just about driving you crazy now. You can't stand loose ends, so why not tie them up? Is there something left dangling out there? A class you never finished or a thank-you card you forgot to send? Get it handled.
Your team is important in your life right now. This might be a sports team or the group you work with. Today you'll gain a lot through them, so let them know what you need. You may be a little shy about asking for what you want, but you can get over that.
C
This is a good day to try something radical. Something you've been thinking about doing, but didn't quite know how. In other words, it's time to climb up to the next level. It's a risk, but a highly calculated one. You could be very successful.
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
Pisces: Today is an 8.
T
Higher education, philosophy and travel are your themes today. You always like to try new and different things. Well, why not? A pen pal from far away could help you get a fabulous job, for example. Give it a try.
C
2
This would be a good day to apply for a loan for education. The money's not coming in quite yet, but odds are good it will later. Your energy and your commitment to yourself are required. If you decide to make it happen, you can.

TRIATHLON
Kansas graduate student Brian Foster, one of the few diabetics to compete in a national triathlon, finished midway through the field in national competition Sept. 27 in St. Joseph, Mo.
Diabetes effects hinder triathlete's performance
LIFE SCIENCES
The competition consisted of a 1.5 kilometer swim, a 40 kilometer bicycle race and a 10 kilometer run.
Because Foster's diabetes reacts poorly with stress, most diabetics are deterred from competing in intense athletic competitions.
Foster's diabetes did bother him through the race, causing him to finish worse than he had hoped.
"I was physically prepared, but the nerves and emotions were just a little too much for me to handle," Foster said. "I was discouraged after the race, but I am not now. It's not a competition that you can just walk in and breeze through. For me to think that was not realistic. Without the diabetes, I think I would have done well, but not in the Top 12."
Foster's future plans include helping with a marathon through the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation and possibly competing again in November.

Orioles release fourth manager in six years
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Orioles got rid of their fourth man ager in six years yesterday, firing Ray Miller after his second straight losing season.
Miller took charge of the team in November 1997 after owner Peter Angeloes forced the resignation of Davey Johnson, who twice took the Orioles to the AL championship series but lost both times.

Baseball's best pitcher felt better yesterday, but the concern about his strained back muscle might not matter unless the Boston Red Sox get at least two postseason wins, causing either a decisive fifth game against Cleveland or a trip to the league championship series.
"There is slight improvement today, but he does have persistent pain," said William Morgan, one of Boston's team physicians. "His condition status is day to day."
Return in postseason of Martinez uncertain
The Red Sox counted heavily on Martinez, the shoo-in for the AL Cy Young award, to win Wednesday night's opener. He led 2-0 when he left with a strained muscle in his back after four innings and Boston went on to lose 3-2.
CLEVE兰AND — Pedro Martinez, still in pain, plans to throw again tomorrow. Whether he'll pitch again in the postseason is less certain.
It appears the earliest he would return would be for a Game 5 at Cleveland on Monday night.
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota Twins owner Carl Pohlad has agreed to sell his team to Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor and Wild lead investor Robert Neagle Jr. if a new stadium is built, WCCO-TV reported yesterday

documents that outlined the proposed deal. WCCO-TV reported the purchase price would be $120 million.
Under the agreement, Pohlad would hand control of the team to Taylor and Naegele.
Any deal would be contingent on St. Paul voters approving a Nov. 2 referendum that includes a financing plan. The deal also would need approval from the Minnesota Legislature.
In addition, major league baseball owners must approve any transfer, a process that usually takes 6-to-18 months.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Dave Szott is back, two weeks after a knee injury that doctors said would sideline him for at least three weeks.

Szott, a 10-year veteran and No. 1 blocker on one of the NFL's finest offensive line interiors, missed the past two games after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his knee. He had been hampered the first two games, unable to plant and push off.

Americans receive calm welcome at Dunhill Cup
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Playing in Europe for the first time since their rowdy victory in the Ryder Cup, Americans Tom Lehman, Mark O'Meara and Payne Stewart at times met dead — but polite silence in the first round yesterday of the Dunnhill Cup.
There was no heckling to spoil a perfect fall day, or degrade Scotland's national pastime, as the top-seeded U.S.队 defeated New Zealand 2-1 in one eight matches
"They were great, not one negative thing," said Lehman, who was lambasted in Europe for leading a charge across the 17th green at the Ryder Cup.
"I've made my apologies sincerely, they're not hollow and now you go on," he said. "It's up to somebody else to accept the apology."

Cleveland one win closer to AL title
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — By the time the Indians finished with Boston, the Red Sox had much more than an aching back.
Jim Thome hit a grand slam, Harold Baines added a three-run shot and Charles Nagy pitched seven solid innings yesterday as Cleveland moved within a win of sweeping the AL division series from Boston with an 11-1 rout of the Red Sox.
The Indians, who were the first team in 49 years to score more than 1,000 runs during the regular season, looked for a while like they might try to match that figure yesterday.

Best-of-five series tied 1-1
Cleveland capitalized on Bret Saberhagen's uncharacteristic wildness and scored 11 runs in a two-inning span to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-5 series.
The Red Sox, who lost Pedro Martinez to a back injury in Game 1, will turn to another Martinez, Pedro's brother, Ramon, to save their season in Game 3 tomorrow at Fenway Park. Dave Burba, a postseason hero for the Indians pitching out of the bullpen last year, starts for Cleveland.
The Indians, who had lost eight straight series openers before winning Wednesday night, have won five straight postseason games against the Red Sox.
Even if he can pitch again, it may be too late for the Red Sox, who dropped to 1-17 since Bill Buckner's infamous error in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series.
Pettitte comes through in Yankee victory
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — This is the reason Joe Torre insisted the New York Yankees keep Andy Pettitte.
Pettitte, once again proving he's at his best in the biggest games, took his turn at shutting down Texas as the Yankees beat the Rangers 3-1 last night for a 2-0 lead in their AL division series. Juan Gonzalez homered in the fourth, ending the Rangers' postseason scoreless streak at 25 innings. But that was all they managed in 7 1-3 innings against Pettitte, the left-hander New
York nearly dealt away at the July 31 trading deadline.
Ricky Ledee's tiebreaking double in the seventh loser Rick Helling and a bases-loaded walk to pinch-hitter Jim Leyritz in the eighth put the Yankees one win away from their second consecutive 3-0 sweep of Texas in the opening round of the playoffs.
The World Series champions will try to finish it tomorrow night at Texas when Roger Clemens pitches against Esteban Loaiza.
No surprise, it was Pettitte who put them in position to advance to the next
round.
Pettitte almost missed out on this party when the Yankees came close to trading him to Philadelphia more than two months ago. At the time, Pettitte was struggling at 7-8 and seemed distracted, possibly by his father's heart problems back in Texas.
But Torre, with help from general manager Brian Cashman, convinced owner George Steinbrenner not to make the deal.
Pettit gave up one run and seven hits in 71-3 innings, walking none and striking out five.

Soccer fans flood Arrowhead Stadium
Wizards hoping to bank on rising interest in sport
By Brad Hallier
sports@kansan.com
Associate sports editor
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The U.S. women's soccer team helped make Kansas City history last night.
The world champions played the nightcap of the first two full-international soccer matches in the area's history. The enthusiastic Arrowhead Stadium crowd of 36,405, the largest soccer crowd ever in Kansas City, watched the United States defeat Finland 6-0. Brazil defeated South Korea 4-0 in the day match.
The attendance was also the largest in the history of U.S. women's soccer for a midweek, non-Olympic or World Cup game.
The Kansas City Wizards of Major League Soccer have struggled both on the field and at the gate, causing a few quiet complaints that perhaps the Wizards should move. But all that may change.

"It was a wonderful atmosphere, and hopefully it's something this city will build on," said forward Mia Hamm, the world's top female soccer player. "It was an exciting atmosphere, a World Cup atmosphere.
"We didn't know what to expect from the crowd, but they made it very special. With practices this week, at the hotel, downtown, everyone knew who we were."
BUSCH Coca-Cola Leo RZ LUNGERS
Kansas City's enthusiasm wasn't just for the U.S. team. The crowd gave Finland a standing ovation during the startling lineups. But when the game began, the cheers only were for the U.S. team.
And of course, the United States did not disappoint its fans. In the 10th minute, forward Tiffany Milbrett scored off a pass from forward Mia Hamm, Hamm's first of three assists, which sent the crowd into an early frenzy.
The crowd got louder with each U.S. attack, shouted in anticipation with each shot on goal and screamed its approval after all six goals. It even cheered when goalkeeper Briana Scurry picked up a harmless Finland pass.
More than 25,000 tickets were sold before game day. That number easily surpassed the previous largest soccer crowd in Kansas City of 21,141, which the Wizards established during their inaugural game April 13, 1996.
When U.S. Soccer announced on Aug. 11 that Kansas City, Mo., would join Columbus, Ohio, and Louisville, Ky., as the three sites for the 1999 NIKE Women's U.S. Cup, Doug Newman, Wizards general manager, was excited. He said he hoped that the U.S. Cup crowd would spill into Wizards' games.
"Obviously we were excited that U.S. Soccer awarded one of the cup games to Kansas City," he said.
"We hope the excitement carries over to our games, but there's no way of knowing. They will see a high level of soccer with the women, and they will see the same Saturday with the Wizards."
And considering the record crowd last night, Newman said
that the high level of soccer might not stop with the women's national team.
"Iimagine what the crowd could have been if it were a Saturday night," he said.
"This puts us in a good position to host the excitement of future international games, men's and women's."
The Kansas soccer team hopes to bank on that excitement as well for this weekend's Big 12 Conference matches with Oklahoma State today and Oklahoma on Sunday.
"I hope the excitement carries over," said Katie Lents, Jayhawk
midfielder who attended last night's games. "Our attendance will go up in the next couple of years with a new stadium and lights, but the crowds this year have been better."
But Lents, Overland Park junior, said that she thought there was a better reason as to why attendance at women's soccer games continued to be impressive at the national level, as well as on the rise for the Javahawks.
"People are finding out how competitive women are, or can be."

Whalen split the defense and buried a shot into the lower right corner past Finland's goalkeeper Satu Kunnas.
DiCicco removed his starting front line during the second half in preparation for the team's next game against Brazil. Brazil won earlier yesterday at Arrowhead 4-0 against South Korea.
"The [goal of the team] is to win the tournament, so I took out our three frontrunners so that their legs could be fully rested against Brazil," DiCicco said.
The second half continued with much of the same for the United States. In the 54th minute, forward Danielle
Fotopoulos gunned a cross to an onrushing Kristine Lilly for the United States' fourth goal. Nine minutes later Brandi Chastain served a pass to Lilly, who netted her second goal of the game.
The final goal came in the 88th minute when Shannon MacMillan took a shot from the top of the box. It was deflected off a Finland defender and into the goal.
Hamm was pleased that the team was still playing at a high level, and hopes the success will continue.
"This U.S. Cup is a celebration of what we did this summer," Hamm said. "I think you use every game as something to [build] your confidence with."

Kansas to duel Oklahoma for Big 12 berth
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The stakes will be high for the Kansas soccer team when it plays Oklahoma State at 4 p.m. today at SuperTarget Field.
By Chris Wristen
Specifically, a Big 12 Conference tournament berth is on the line, because the Jayhawks and Cowgirls are part of a four-way tie for the final spot. Kansas has the tie-breaker advantage against Texas Tech thanks to a victory last Sunday, and a win today would give them the same advantage against Oklahoma State.
"It (winning both games) won't get us in for sure, but it'd make our chances a whole lot better," said coach Mark Francis. "But if we don't win, then our chances are going to be slim."
Kansas enters the game riding high after winning four of its last five games, including the thriller against Texas Tech. The loss came to No. 14-ranked Baylor, and the Jawhayks battled to the wire.
"Knowing we can play with the 10. No 14 team, Baylor, and to beat Texas Tech right on the rebound (was

and junior Meghann Haven, who leads the team in assists with five. Francis hopes this offensive success will continue this week as well.
Oklahoma State won't be easy for the Jayhawks, despite what their 3-9 record shows. The Cowgirls went 2-1 last week with a shutout win against Oklahoma and a 3-1 win against Louisiana State, but fell to Colorado 4-2. With a win today, Oklahoma State would climb back into contention for a Big 12 Conference tournament berth as well.
"I'd like to be able to keep doing it." Francis said. "We still need to do a better job of converting our chances, though."
The Cowgirls are led by junior forward Andrea Larsen, who scored three goals this last week, including both game-winners. They have only scored 12 goals in 12 games this sea-

The Jayhawks will play Oklahoma at 1 pm. Sunday. The Sooners, 2-81 and at 1-3 in the conference, are still in the race for the final conference tournament spot. Kansas is confident it can defeat Oklahoma and run its conference win streak to three.

'Hawks ready to tame Wildcats
Continued from page 1A
will play, but have been hampered by injuries, as have safety Chad Coellner, tight end Jason Gulley and cornerback Andrew Davison.
Things are tough enough with how the Wildcats have dominated the series the last six years. Kansas has been outscored 212-63, during that time, including a 54-6 dabble last year.
"The first time I played in Manhattan, that's when I really got the feeling that they hate you," right guard Marc Owen said.
To top it off, the Jayhawks have to play in Manhattan in front of 50,000 Wildcats fans — something no Kansas player ever wants
What gives the Jayhawks hope is that this isn't the same K-State team that came to Lawrence last year. Gone is quarterback Michael Bishop, Heisman Trophy runner-up and first team All-Big 12, which eases Allen's mind a bit.
"They don't have a Michael Bishop back there. He was a difference maker. Nothing against Beasley and Helm, but they're not
KU
Michael Bishop," he said.
"But they're just as good defensively, if not better."
The Wildcats are ranked ninth in NCAA Division I in total defense, including a pasting of 16th ranked Texas last week. Texas had a 14-6 after the first half, but in the second half the Wildcats shut down the Longhorns — a team with a more proficient offense than Kansas.
"Texas tried to do some things against them and didn't have much success with them," Allen said.
So why don't they turn tail and run?
Because no win would be sweeter for Kansas than a win against K-State.
"We've played in big games before. This

is just another big game," Hill said.
Another big game with bragging rights for the entire state. The winner of the game gets bragging rights until the next year — something both fans and football players want.
"A lot of local guys, they really get up for K-State, you can tell it's big," Owen said. It's so big that the seniors like Coellner can't think about anything but winning. "It'd be the highlight of my career," he said.

Statistics favor K-State in match-up with Kansas
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportwriter
On paper, the Kansas State Wildcats seem to have it all for tomorrow's game against the Kansas Jayhawks. They are ranked in the Top 10 in both major polls, boast the nation's ninth-ranked defense and feature some of the Big 12 Conference's best defenders in linebacker Mark Simoneau and safety Jerrod Cooper.
However, just because K-State seems to have all of the necessary components for a victory, it doesn't mean coach Bill Snyder isn't worried about tomorrow's matchup.
"It's a very big ball game," Snyder said. "It's one of those ball games against a team that is building. They will be highly motivated for this ball game, so it's important for us to be equally motivated."
However, Kansas faces a different Kansas State team than it faced in last season's game. The Wildcats lost 12 starters from the 1998 squad, including standout quarterback Michael Bishop, linebacker Jeff Kelly, and K-State's all-time leading rusher, Eric Hickson.
Motivation shouldn't be a problem for the Wildcats tomorrow, as they play their bitter in-state rival. The Jayhawks have not defeated Kansas State since 1992 and were beaten soundly in last season's 54-6 Wildcat victory.
Snyder said the losses admittedly have taken a toll on his team's talent level.
"I don't think we're as good of a football team as we were a year ago," Snyder said.
Despite the drop-off in talent from last season, the Wildcats already are taking steps to duplicate last season's remarkable 11-0 regular season. K-State is 4-0 heading into tomorrow's game and is coming off a huge road win against Texas last Saturday. After the 35-17 victory against the Longhorns, the Wildcats
creep back into the Top 10 of both major polls. They are currently No. 9 in the AP poll and No. 10 in the coaches' poll.
"We've found ways to win big football games this season, especially on the road," Snyder said. "But are we as good as last season? No."
K-State will enter tomorrow's Sunflower Showdown with another quarterback change. Two weeks ago, the Wildcats were trailing Iowa State 28-7 when Snyder replaced starter Jonathan Beasley with backup Adam Helm. Helm led the Wildcats to a 35-28 win, and started against the Longhorns before being replaced by Beasley.
Beasley will start against Kansas tomorrow, and this week Snyder renewed his faith in the much-maligned senior quarterback.
"He's our No. 1 quarterback," Snyder said. "He'll be our guy."
Next to Beasley, tomorrow will be dangerous because of running back David Allen. On top of his running back chores, Allen can set a NCAA record for most career punt returns for a touchdown with a score tomorrow, and Kansas coach Terry Allen is wary of the dangerous punt returner.
"He's a guy who can make plays when he touches the ball back there." Allen said.
ball back there," Allen said.
On defense, the Wildcats feature four preseason All-Big 12 Conference selections: Simoneau, Cooper, defensive back Lamar Chapman, and defensive lineman Darren Howard.
Despite the outstanding individual talent, many experts said K-State's defense would be caught in a downward spiral this season. However, the Wildcat defense, which ranks eighth in the nation in scoring defense, hasn't surprised its coach.
"We've played very well on defense," Snyder said. "But I don't think that's a surprise."

Positive attitudes key in tournaments in Arizona, Texas
By Melinda Weaver sports@kansan.com Kansan writerswriiter
Dus played Prakauh Venkataraman of Rice yesterday, and Echagarray played Ed Carter of Arizona State.
The Kansas men's tennis team has divided its forces to play in two tournaments this weekend in Arizona and Texas.
Most of the team, Pete Stroer, Alex Barragan, Quentin Blakeney, Bryan Maier, Eleazar Magallan and Sebastian Libertino, will make a trip to Austin, Texas, to compete in the All-American Championships, an individual tournament.
The only players not competing in the All-American Championships are Ed Dus and Rodrigo Echagary, who are competing in Tempe, Ariz., in the Thunderbird Invitational.
petition in the country," coach Mark Riley said. "Because of the small size of the main draw, teams sent top players, so the tournament will be tough."
"In the Thunderbird Invitational, our players will be facing some of the top com-
Because none of the Kansas players prequalified for the tournament, each of them will have to play in three prequalifying matches to reach the qualifying round. In the qualifying round, each player will have to win three more matches to reach the actual tournament.
The All-American Championships is the second leg of the collegiate Grand Slams, which brings some of the top players in the country to compete.
"We can do well if we play on our game," Nwachukwu said. "We have to be ready to play hard in every single match and not let up. Each player gets only one chance and then they are out."
Assistant coach Ross Nwachukwu said that he thought the team could compete in a tournament of this caliber if they work hard and play their best tennis.
"It will be pretty hard because you have to play so many matches before you even
reach the tournament," Maier said. "We have been playing good competition lately, which helps us get in shape. I have to get in shape to play players who are at my level and even above my level."
Because the tournament is so large, Maler said that a lot of the challenge would be playing well without his teammates to support him.
"I played at No.1 and 2 in the Tulsa tournament and really had a wake-up call from the tough opponents," Blakeney said. "I was happy from my performance in the Middle Tennessee tournament and wasn't as focused going in. I can't let that happen this time."
"I need to keep a positive attitude," Maier said. "It will be tough because there are a lot of sites, so we all won't be able to watch one another compete. I will have to keep myself in check and stay focused. I think we can do well, but we just have to put it together."
The team has not had many victories so far in the fall season, but Blakeney said that some of the losses had been a wake-up call for the team.

Runners looking to rebound from poor Minnesota showing
Rebecca Barlow

Kansas sportwriter
Kansas cross country coach Gary Schwartz is hoping that tomorrow's meet at Penn State will be a confidence booster for his team and that it also will help prepare it for the Big 12 Conference championships.
"Its a very important meet," Schwartz said. "It's even more important because of the team's poor performance in Minnesota. I hope that was a one-time deal."
Schwartz said his team needed to race the way it had been training. The team has had two weeks of high-intensity training after the men's team finished 23rd and the women 24th in a 25-team field Sept. 25 at the Roy Griak Invitational in Minneapolis.
"We have gotten a lot more workouts and the intensity has gone up," women's runner Kim Bratton said. "We have had a lot of good workouts."
Bratton said that having two weeks off had given her time to concentrate on tomorrow's meet. Schwartz said he hoped that
this meet would give the runners not only experience, but also an opportunity to see another part of the country.
"This is an inter-regional trip to combine a good cross country meet with the experience to go to another part of the country they
Schwartz should feel right at home on the course at Penn State because he

coached there for 13 years.
"I have many friends there," Schwartz said. "It's an awesome course and a nice town."
Schwartz has noticed that his team had been practicing hard and that it was keeping a positive attitude this season.
"I am very pleased with their attitude and work ethic this year." Schwartz said.
Bratton said she thought the season was going really well for her and for the team.
"I am doing better then last year, and the team in general is

doing better," Bratton said.
"I love the team and KU," Bratton said. "It's really exciting to be here."
This is Bratton's first year running for the Jayhawks. She transferred from Hastings College in Nebraska, where she ran cross country for three years and ran track for four years.
The Jayhawks will compete against Big 12 fees Nebraska and Baylor tomorrow. Their next meet will be the Big 12 Championships Oct. 30 in College Station, Texas.
Senior golfer sinks hole-in-one, again
—Edited by Darrin Peschka
By Doug Pacey sports@kanson.com Kansan sportswriter
Sue Tessary had a once in-a-lifetime moment for the second time on Wednesday.
The Collinsville, ill. senior golfer hit a hole in-one during practice on the ninth hole at Alvamar Golf & Country Club, 1809 Crossgate Drive.
"I didn't know it it had happened," Tessary said. "I thought I hit it over the green. When I got up to the green, I couldn't look for the ball, I couldn't find it, and I looked in the hole and it was in there. It was unbelievable."
Tessary used a driver on the 280-ward,par-4 hole.
This was not Tessary's first hole-in-one. She notched her first hole-in-one her freshman year during the Big 12 Conference Tournament at Alvamar on the 12th hole.
Nicole Hollingsworth, Kansas women's golf coach,
"I was in the group behind," Hollingsworth said. "When we heard them start screaming, we knew

and Jill Simpson.
"After we knew that the ball went in the hole." Tessary said, "we just started to go crazy, and they tackled me."
Hollingsworth, who never has seen a hole-in-one, said she could not believe Tessary had made the shot.
"I've seen a double-eagle on a par 5, but never a hole-in-one on a par 4," she said. "It was hard to believe then and still hard to believe."

Captain Mac draws Agassi back to team
The Associated Press
BASEL, Switzerland — John McEnroe already is paying dividends as the U.S. Davis Cup captain.
but McEnroe altered Agassi's decision.
Andre Agassi said Wednesday he would play in next year's Davis Cup, quite a turnaround for the French and U.S. Open champion who said last March that he wouldn't participate after his friend and team doctor George Fareed was dropped from the squad.
"I think he's going to be the best captain ever so far," Agassi said at the Swiss Indoors. "He'll help a lot.
"He'll bring a lot of enthusiasm, a lot of energy, a lot of experience. It's an advantage to have someone on your team with this kind of fighting spirit."
The addition of Agassi, the No. 1 player in the world, could become even more important because Pete Sampras has a serious back injury, and his status for February's first round is uncertain.
The United States will travel to Zimbabwe for the first round of World
Group competition Feb.4-6.
ALEXANDER DALTON
Among the other pairings set by draw today, Australia, which ousted the Americans this year, will play in Switzerland and Germany will be at home against the Netherlands. France will play in Brazil, the Czech Republic will host
Agassi: Says he will play in next year's Davis Cup.
Britain, Spain is home against Italy, Russia hosts Belgium and Slovakia is at home against Austria. Australia and France play in this year's final Dec. 3-4 in Nice.
McEnroe played on 12 Davis Cup teams, including five champions. He still holds six U.S. Davis Cup records and compiled an overall record of 59-10.
But it wasn't just McEnroe's Davis Cup success that swayed Assigli. It also was the fact the U.S. Tennis Association allowed the team to have some say in the choice of captain.
"To me, the most important thing was how the decision was made so the players had say-so in some of the more important areas such as who the cap tain is," Agassi said. "And I know with John, the team will always make decisions as a unit, which is something you always hope for in the Davis Gun."
Regarding speculation McEnroe might play in the Davis Cup doubles matches, Agassi was diplomatic.
"He's addicted to competition," Agassi said, laughing. "It would be a new thing for a coach to be a player, but John is objective enough to have the best team out there."

Long rivalries to flare on Big 12 fields
Baylor, Texas A&M to play 100th game
By Michael Rigg
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Rivalries.
They are the true roots of college football, and many teams' seasons can be made with a win against their archenemies.
Many traditional rivalries, such as Oklahoma vs. Texas, Baylor vs. Texas A&M, and, of course, Kansas vs. Kansas State resume this weekend. Also, tomorrow will give Big 12 fans a chance to see some of the up-and-coming rivalries around the conference develop, such as Missouri vs. Colorado and Oklahoma State vs. Texas Tech.
With that in mind, this weekend has been labeled a red-letter weekend for rivalries by several Big 12 Conference coaches.
With a heated weekend of Big 12 football to follow, here's a preview of some of tomorrow's conference games.
Missouri at Colorado
In the final years of the Big Eight Conference, Colorado owned this
CU
series against the Tigers, winning
12 straight games from 1985-96. However, the Tigers stormed back when the two schools joined the Big 12, and won the last two meetings — including a 38-14 victory last year.
Missouri coach Larry Smith said the latest Tiger winning streak against the Buffalooes would be extra motivation for Colorado tomorrow.
"I think the last two years probably got their attention," Smith said. "Our guys want to beat them, too. When you're called out, I think you are going to be ready to play."
Missouri will continue to go with the two-quarterback system tomorrow, rotating Jimm Dougherty with Kirk Farmer. Both quarterbacks bring different approaches to tomorrow's game, Smith said.
"Jimmy probably knows [the two minute system] the best, but Kirk has a stronger arm," Smith said. "But it depends on how you are moving the ball. If you have enough time to mix it up, you probably use

Oklahoma vs. Texas at Dallas
One of college football's most rivalries continues tomorrow at
the Cotton Bowl. The two teams started playing each other in 1900 and have had several heated games since.
"It's one of the great games that everybody talks about," said Texas coach Mack Brown. "Bo Schembechler says it may be the best rivalry in college football. It was one of the things that all of us growing up used to sit and watch."
innovation has revolutionized the run-oriented series: the forward pass. Despite both teams run-dominated backgrounds, each team has tried building passing attacks this season around stellar quarterbacks. Both Major Applewhite of Texas and Josh Heupel of Oklahoma have set numerous school passing records this season.
Lately, however, a new offensive

However.
Baylor finally broke into the win column last week with a 23-10 win against North Texas and the Bears are keeping their hopes up for tomorrow's game. First-year Baylor coach Kevin Steele said it was time for the Bears' 13-game winless streak against the Aggies to come to an end.
"When you play any team in Division I-A, anything can happen on any Saturday," Steele said. "You look back at history and maybe that wasn't the case, but things have changed, changed drastically."

Seminole players arrested, placed on suspension
The Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Heisman Trophy hopeful Peter Warrick was indefinitely suspended following his arrest yesterday on charges that he and a Florida State teammate were allowed to underpay for clothes at a department store by about $391.
Warrick and Laveranues Coles, both Seminole receivers, were charged with grand theft along with a Dillard's clerk, 19-year-old Rachel Myrtil. She was accused of letting the two players buy $412.38 worth of clothing for $21.40 on Sept. 29.
An off-duty officer saw what happened through a surveillance camera, police said.
Florida State coach Bobby Bowden said in a written statement that he was terribly disappointed and noted Warrick was on schedule to graduate.
"He came back for his senior season instead of going pro, and he has been such a hard worker and good leader," Bowden said. "It makes this all the more disappointing."
Warrick will be allowed to practice with the team but cannot play at least until his case is resolved under school policy. He will miss top-ranked Florida State's game against Miami tomorrow and possibly the rest of the season.
"Peter Warrick has been a good citizen here prior to this," Hart said. "The door certainly is open for Peter to return."
Each could face up to five years in prison if convicted, but they would probably get probation. Assistant State Attorney Warren Goodwin said. A first court appearance for the sole purpose of determining if they have legal representation was set for Monday.

Sunflower Showdown
Kansan columnist tells K-State where to shove ugly violet cat
I have never written a column geared to both University of Kansas students and Kansas State University students.
A good journalist will adjust for his audience. So don't worry K-State students, I'll use small words for you.
The Collegian online has advertised that if K-State students want to know what KU students think of them, they should go to The University Daily Kansan Web site.
I fear that most K-State students are unable to navigate the World Wide Web and locate www.kansan.com. For that matter, I'm worried that most K-State students don't even know how to turn on a computer. So I'll save you all the trouble and tell you what we think of you Power-Cat-wearing chumps right here.
We don't like you. At all.
The Wildcats are like the schoolyard bully who only picks on kids half his size. This year, your non-conference schedule consists of Temple, the University of Texas at El Paso and Utah State. Last season, the three teams combined for an 8-22 record. That is a .364 winning percentage. Don't strain yourselves, guys.
What a great way to make yourselves seem like a football power. Schedule powder-puff teams all season, and then try to con your way into a bowl game. It's one of the many things wrong with college football that the Wildcats happen to epitomize. ATS Consultants' 1999 Ultimate Football Annual said, "Cupcake non-conference games...should expel them from any PGC team."

But then, you've bought into the false hype, haven't you? Ignorance is bliss.
Do you realize that your strength of schedule ranks at No. 51? Not only does Kansas have a more difficult schedule, but Baylor does also.
Why don't you do something that requires a spine for once? You see, Kansas jumped at a chance to play Notre Dame this season. We lost, and our team took it like men. The Wildcats, however, will be whining like little kids when they get

Yes, I know it's tattooed on your arm. I know that it hangs in your mail. I've seen the guys with names such as Billy Bob and Gus driving their rusted-out "78 Ford trucks
with the Power Cat tile. I'm sure you've given plenty of farmers across western Kansas, headaches because they can't quite figure out how to paint those ugly purple shapes on the side of their
shapes on the side of their barns.
Remember that morning in 1983 when you woke up and realized how ugly your Mom's lime-green curtains were? It was past time to move out of the '70s.
The same thing will happen with your Power Cat fad. One day, you'll wake up, see the thing plastered all over your house, and wonder what it was that made you invest in tacky Power Cat wallpaper.

Since then, harsh words about cell phones, cargo pants, K-State night life, June Henley's "3 feet high and rising" lifestyle, Brian Kavanagh's canine treatment and numerous Lawrence and Manhattan stereotypes have flowed through both collegiate publications in reference to one thing: the annual Sunflower State Showdown.

offered this deadly warning:
"The Jayhawks are 3-5, but dangerous. Given the right breaks Kansas will win Saturday. Coach Terry Allen has vastly upgraded the offense. Quarterback Zac Wegner, running back David Winbush and the rest of the team are capable of moving the ball and scoring. All the ingredients are there for a classic upset in the vein of the Boston College vs. Miami game that made Doug Flutie famous."
Most have forgotten to eat your Flutie Flakes that day, Matthew.
The "dangerous" 'Hawks didn't quite follow up their upset against Colorado the week before in style.
K-State 54 Kansas 6.
The walk down Jayhawk past is probably getting too painful. This is where you'll probably tell me 1999 is a different story. Dylan "SMU Manhandler" Smith is in charge now. K-State is far from last season's 11-0 regular season form.
Well, you're right. The 'Cats have the lowest-ranked total offense of any top 25 team. Victories have not come that easy this year.
Guess what? K-State will still send the 'Hawks on a silent, hour-and-a-half bus ride back to Lawrence. The streak will stretch to seven in the series.
What more really needs to be asked?
Final score: K-State 45, Kansas 6.

THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Coming Out Day gives a face to stereotypes
(USPS 650-640)
By Lesley Simmons writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Brad Badger, Jefferson, Iowa, graduate student, said he knew he was gay when he moved to Lawrence in 1992, but didn't feel comfortable telling anyone for three years.
Badger said he viewed coming out as an ongoing process, and he is still coming out to people today.
"Once you break that barrier, it becomes easier and easier the more you do it," he said.
Badger is one of the University of Kansas students who will celebrate National Coming Out Day today. The event was first celebrated in 1988. The day will provide a chance for students at the University to see people who are out, and will provide people who are out with an opportunity to celebrate it for a day, said Matthew Skinta, president of Quers and Allies.
Queers and Allies will have an information table from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. today on the
fourth floor of the Kansas Union. The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered Concerns office in the Student Development Center will sponsor the movie Playing the Part at 8 p.m. at the Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union
Skinta said some people questioned homosexuals drawing attention to themselves by using labels such as gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered. He said that those labels already were used by society.
"The importance lies in putting a face on the labels," he said. "Someone can hate lesbians, but if their Aunt Kathy down the street is a lesbian, then it puts it in a different context."
The day also can be helpful for homosexuals who are not out, Skinta said.
"There are a lot of pressures involved with being closedest, the high level of secrecy it entails," he said. "If they can see someone who is out, it can help them to be more comfortable coming out."
Buck Rowland, Wichita graduate student and LGBT liaison, said he could never be
sure how people would react when he came out to them.
"The people I thought would support me rejected me," he said. "The people I thought would reject me supported me."
Rowland said he had worried about his parents finding out that he was gay, but his father's response was, "I've always known that."
Rowland said his fundamentalist Pentecostal family supported him.
"They love me unconditionally because that is what Jesus taught," he said. "Jesus said nothing about homosexuals."
He said sometimes people who knew he was homosexual had a hard time accepting things about him that did not fit their idea of homosexual.
"The hardest part about coming out is getting people to accept me as a whole person," he said. "They're dumbfounded to see me working on my truck, but not to see me petting my cat."

A delegation from Ronda, Spain, visited Lawrence last weekend to give birth to a new sister city program.
The three-member team met with Mayor Erv Hodges on Saturday to discuss the new relationship between Lawrence and Ronda, which will allow the exchange of citizens between the cities.
Margareta O'Connell, director of Study Abroad, said Ronda was a good choice for a sister city because University of Kansas students went there each spring to attend a

More harassing phone calls reported
See STUDENTS on page 3A
By Michael Terry
One week after 13 female University of Kansas students received harassing and threatening phone calls, seven similar reports have been filed with the KU Public Safety Office.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey said the office did not believe the seven new reports were related to the calls received Oct. 4.
Kansan staff writer
Bailey said the calls received last Monday involved an unidentified man asking for the women by name and threatening to rape and kill them if they hung up.
"The characteristics of the calls were not the same as the ones received a week ago," he said. "In these particular instances, the person who called didn't say anything, but did stay on the line breathing heavily into the phone."
Bailey said the office had been working in conjunction with the Lawrence Police Department trading information hoping to
TIPS FOR DEALING WITH HARASSING PHONE CALLS:
Hang up immediately. Do not engage in any conversation.
Note background sounds to try to identify the caller's location.
■ Immediately call the KU Public Safety Office at 864-5900 or KU Crime Stoppers at 864-8888.
Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence Police Department said his department had only received one report of a harassing phone call in which a man called a KU student who lived off-campus and threatened to rape and beat her if she hung up.
Wheeler said there was no evidence at the time that linked that call to the ones that have been occurring throughout the KU campus.
uncover possible suspects in the case.
Sgt. Troy Malen of the KU Public Safety Office said the recent high number of harassing phone calls being received around campus led the office to issue a crime alert.
"The crime alert was issued on Wednesday, and it's a way to get the word out to students about what's happening to the students on KU's campus," Malen said. "The crime alert is posted in every scholarship hall and residence hall where the incidents have been concentrated."
Bailey said since the crime alert was issued, KU Crime Stoppers had taken a number of calls from individuals who had information about possible suspects.
KU Crime Stoppers, a program run by the KU Public Safety Office since 1990, is designed to give anyone with information on a crime a chance to report it anonymously.
Bailey said anyone with information pertaining to this case should contact KU Crime Stoppers and report it immediately.
Anyone who provides information that leads to an arrest is eligible for cash rewards. The process is completely anonymous upon request.

"One particular inspiring aspect of this project was that the working budget was zero." Frederick said at the garden's dedication. "But thanks to community-wide generosity, we were able to make something out of nothing."
Kansan staff writer
Tucked amid trees near campus lies a garden whose beauty is not only in its lushness and greenery, but in its fragrances, textures and sounds.
The Audio Reader sensory garden, which was officially dedicated yesterday, focuses on non-visual aspects. The garden began in October 1996 and was planted to be fully accessible to the blind and visually impaired, containing especially fragrant and tactile-oriented plants and flowers.
"It's absolutely beautiful and it's marvelous," said Kimberly Morrow, a recent KU graduate who is visually impaired. "I'm absolutely thrilled with it, and I think that its mission was terrific."
The garden was the vision of Diana Frederick, Audio Reader's volunteer coordinator.
Audio Reader is a service for the blind and visually handicapped. It broadcasts readings of books, magazines and newspapers on closed circuit radio.
The garden is located near Memorial Stadium at Audio Reader, 1120 W. 11th St. It contains scented plants such as geraniums, roses, garlic, chives and a variety of herbs. A gazebo, a fountain, wind chimes and a brick pathway, containing engraved bricks dedicated for $100
The garden's official dedication yesterday was held three years after the conception of the garden on "Make a Difference Day" in 1996. Volunteers have planted, maintained and expanded the garden since its creation.
University of Kansas students were a portion of those volunteers and were a source of some donations, Frederick said. Other volunteers ranged in age, race and physical ability.
"It is truly a work of heart," she said. "It's not necessarily a work of art, but it comes from the hearts of many individuals."
Frederick said they planned to finish the brick pathway and to make the garden handicap accessible. They also plan to build raised garden beds along the pathway. Donations will fund future growth of the garden.
Frederick said she hoped all students would enjoy the garden.
"This is an area we hope students will feel free to stroll through," she said.

Library director to examine plans for Dole Institute
writer@kanson.com
Kansan staff writer
Richard Norton Smith, director of the Gerald Ford Presidential Library, will be on campus today looking at plans for the proposed Dole Institute for Public Service and Public Policy Building. He also will give an evening lecture about George Washington.
The speech, titled "The Surprising George Washington," will be at 7:30 tonight in the KU Visitor Center
auditorium and is free to the public.
Smith is a respected presidential scholar and also has directed the Herbert Hoover, Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan presidential libraries. In addition, he has worked closely with Bob Dole as a speech writer and co-author.
"He is well aware of the issues confronting institutions and centers focused on an individual's career," said Burdett Loomis, interim director of the Dole Institute and professor of political science. "It's a huge project."
The Dole Institute is separate from the Dole Center for Human Development. Loomis said the Dole Institute building — which would contain the former Kansas senator's papers and memorabilia — could begin construction in six months.
"We're not so far that we couldn't change something based on his experience." Loomis said. "It's a good time for him to be coming in."
Smith also has written several books, covering historical figures from Thomas E. Dewey to Hoover to Chicago Tribune editor Robert McCormick. In 1983, he also wrote the book "Patriarch: George Washington and the New American Nation."
Smith began working for Dole in 1979, co-writing 1988's "Unlimited Partners," the joint autobiography of Bob and Elizabeth Dole. He also helped with Bob Dole's 1998 book of political humor, "Laughing (Almost) All the Way to the White House."
Smith also wrote speeches for both Bob and Elizabeth Dole, Presidents Ford and Reagan, Cabinet officials and congressmen.
Bryan Culp, Dole Institute archivist, said Smith's experience as a historian and confidant of the former Kansas senator made Smith a valuable resource.
Smith's lecture tonight is sponsored by the Dole Institute.
"It's just a huge number of boxes."
Burg said. "We've got it all."
"We will pull him aside to get his take on the building," Culp said. "It's the largest group of congressional papers in the country, and it's quite an esteemed collection."
Mary Burg, executive assistant to the chancellor, said Dole donated his papers and memorabilia to the University in the spring of 1997.
"He's a very talented speaker," Burg said. "He's on C-SPAN all the time."

Students prepare to travel to new sister city in Spain

four-day orientation period and some books. Travel costs, passport fees and personal expenses are not included in the price.
Amy Timkar, coordinator of Study Abroad, said the program was designed for students who had taken only one semester of Spanish.
"So far we have recruited 10 students to go in the spring semester," she said. "They seem very excited, and we hope to get more."
Alexis Vanasse, Great Bend sophomore, said she learned about the program in her introductory Spanish class last semester.
"I'm really looking forward to studying in Ronda," she said. "I think it will be a good experience."
Students who go to Ronda live with host families to immerse themselves in Spanish culture and assist in developing their language skills.
it is an ideal city to know about the culture of Spain and to learn about its history and language." Raquejo said. "The people of Ronda are really friendly and everybody is a host. Students from the University of Kansas are always welcome."
Ronda is divided in half by a 320-foot gorge with a bridge connecting the two sides. On one side of the bridge lies the new half, a bustling commercial area. On the other side of the gorge is the old city, encompassed by a large Arabic wall. Its eclectic architecture consists of Roman and Moorish buildings.
Bob Schumm, member of the Lawrence Sister City Advisory Committee and former mayor, said that the sister city exchange was not only for students but also for any Lawrence resident.
"Whoever you are, whatever your interest is, we can set you up with an exchange to any of our sister cities," Schumm said.

Seal debate within ACLU prompts member to resign
By Clay McCuistion

Kansan staff writer
By Clav McCuistion
Alexis Vanasse's fate was sealed at the first meeting of the KU chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.
During the Sept. 1 meeting, the chapter voted to send a letter to Chancellor Robert Hemenway questioning the legality of the University of Kansas' seal. Vanasse, executive director of the group and second-in-command to president Kevin Sivits, wasn't comfortable with the inquiry.
so she quit.
The seal is a good representation of KU
and I wouldn't want anything to happ to it," said Vanasse, Great Bend sophomore. "Its long history with KU is something that's extremely valuable."
The campus debate caused by the ACLU's curiosity about the seal's depiction of Moses kneeling before a burning bush is now taking place within the group itself.
"I kind of thought it would be raised
"I kind of thought it would be rais, and then die down," Vanasse said.
The controversy surrounding the seal was picked up by the Laurence Journal World, The Kansas City Star, area television stations and eventually was published on The Associated Press wire.
"I thought it might become bigger than I could handle or my conscience could handle." Vanasse said. "It was something I didn't believe in. I joined the KU chapter because I wanted to help students whose rights were being trampled on."
Vanasse resigned at a Sept. 12 executive board meeting of the chapter.
She still is involved, serving office hours at the ACLU's cubicle in the Kansas Union. She even may come back to her post.
"I didn't want to go against what the ACLU believes just because I like a symbol," she said. "I would love to be able to return as executive director as soon as the seal matter is over with." Sivits, Tanganoxie senior, said he respected Vanasse's decision.
"We wouldn't ask her to to stay on if she were uncomfortable in such a position," he said.

Buddy Lloyd, ACLU media director, said it was part of the chapter's mission to tolerate different views.
"We encourage free thinking in the ACLU," he said. "There's no party line to toe."
Lloyd said the furor caused by questions about the seal was overblown.
"The only internal question the ACLU has asked is whether or not to send the letter to the University," he said. "We've never come out for or against the seal. We've come out for asking questions."
But those questions have made other ACLU numbers more unsustainable.
"Personally, the seal doesn't offend me," said Jenkins, Shawne junior. "I don't want to be rash to come to a conclusion."
J. D. Jenkins, the chapter's advocacy chair and a holdover student senator, abstained from the vote to send the letter questioning the seal. He was the only ACLU member at the Sept. 1 meeting to abstain.
He said he could understand both sides of the issue.
"I can see how it's been part of the University's tradition for a long time, and it's important to a lot of people," Jenkins said. "On the other hand, there's a strong possibility it violates the Constitution."
Aravind Muthukrishnan, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, was also cautious.
"Whatever my personal feelings about the seal are, I think it could be viewed as a violation between church and state," he said.
Dick Kurtenbach, executive director of the Kansas-Western Missouri affiliate of the ACLU, said Vanasse's resignation and the intergroup tension could be interpreted positively.
"That's probably a healthy sign that there are obviously seriously minded people involved in the endeavor there," he said. "There is plenty of room for dissension in the ACLU."

Retaking courses for better grades fails to be fair to diligent students
Students at Kansas Regents universities, including the University of Kansas, soon may have the option of retaking academic courses to improve their grades. The Board of Regents is considering making the system's course retake policy more lenient, allowing students to repeat courses and have only the second attempt figured into grade point averages.
The Regents should scrutinize carefully the benefits and costs of this proposal and come to one conclusion: Retaking courses to replace grades should not be allowed.
The first problem is that this proposal makes money the bottom line. If students choose to retake courses, they would have to shell out the tuition cost again, proving that money is an important factor. Students who don't have a few hundred dollars to spare would not have the option to retake classes. Only those who can afford it would take the course multiple times.
GPAs should represent all course work, not just repeats
What about students who are taking a course for the first time? How can they compete with students around them who already have taken the tests, quizzes and homework assignments? Students who are working for their grades are put at an unfair advantage against those who already have been exposed to the course and instructor.
And if students are retaking courses,
they may choose not to attend classes, because they already have the notes. These students could stop other students from getting into a full class for the first time. There would be empty seats in the class, but the instructor would not be able to allow other students to add.
Furthermore, certain classes at the University employ the bell curve, and this retake policy will skew results unfairly. Students who actually have worked up to an A level may be pushed out of the A grade range because of those who already have taken the course. Once again, the students who get the raw end of the deal are those working hard to do a good job the first time.
The Board of Regents should fail this proposal, as it will only hurt those that don't deserve it.

Debt forgiveness promotes prosperity
In more than 40 nations, people are struggling to survive as crippling poverty grows, and education and adequate health care continue to be non-priorities. What is the culprit of this suffering? Much of it is because of the insurmountable loans that Third World governments are trying to pay back.
President Clinton recently announced an expansion of U.S. efforts forgiving international debts owed by the world's severely poor nations. This was one more step toward the goals of Jubilee 2000, a coalition coordinating a campaign for total debt cancellation of Third World countries.
Although the idea of forgiving more than $200 billion of debt initially may seem irrational, it would have benefits. Extremely poor countries that are in
Severely poor nations need further assistance to provide food, education, health care
Ransom in New Internationalist magazine, these sorts of requirements tend to pin struggling economies in a cycle of poverty because they can not build infrastructure or a healthy industrial base to promote economic stability.
such inescapable debt spend, depending on the country, up to four times as much on loan interest payments than on education or health care. This puts the burden of the debt on the poor and makes it difficult, if not impossible, for them to lift themselves out of crushing poverty. Also, nations that receive International Monetary Fund loans must make structural adjustments, which usually include a currency devaluation, reduction of government intervention and increased exposure to the global market. According to David
It would cost the United States essentially $1 billion to wipe out all of the debt owed by Third World countries. This is a small price to pay for an action that finally may stop the vicious cycle of poverty in developing countries. More governments, as well as the World Bank and IMF, should agree to debt forgiveness. Once these debts are off the shoulders of developing countries, they finally will be able to start the slow process of growth, which may mean more prosperity for all nations.

I promised my folks that I would apply for an FBI internship this summer. I've gotten the transcripts, brushed up my colorful résumé and asked for the recommendation. The only thing left is the 500 word essay.
Perspective
More to FBI internship than making coffee
want to be a peon gofer, making coffee and filing papers and saying "yes, ma'am" and "right away, sir" in Washington for three months (instead of spending it on the gorgeous beaches of California).
I am supposed to sum up all the reasons why I
The crazy thing is that I really want to do it. At least I think so. Maybe I've just seen too many episodes of the X-Files, but why else am I taking Basic Firearms?

Peacock
columnist
coming @banan.com
Okay. Time to buckle down and begin the essay.
"Since I was eight, I have wanted to be an FBI agent ..." Highlight. Delete. No, I wanted to be an archaeologist — well, really a treasure-hunter like Indiana Jones. I wanted to dig up old stuff and sell it for exorbitant amounts of money, becoming both rich and famous in one fell scoop. When I was eight, I didn't even know that there was such a thing as the FBI. Try again.
"I always have held the federal government and its agencies in high regard ..." Delete. Delete. Delete. Well, that's not exactly true. A lot of corruption goes on; my father, like most of his family, works for the government and can testify to that. Consider the current investigations of the FBI surrounding the Waco incident.
On the plus side, all of the negative publicity could hurt their recruitment rates and help my chances of getting accepted into the program. Think harder. Peacock.
"My father's dying wish after a 12-struggle with cancer was for his only daughter to work for the FBI and fulfill a dream he could not ..." Now that's just a big ol' honkin' lie. The pity path only works if it's believable. Not even Glenn Close could pass off that story.
Time to get serious. I see two options right
The fact is, I don't know if this FBI thing is my ultimate dream or a nightmare that starts off really good but ends up being a huge Wes Craven gorefest. I just hope I have the guts to sit through the whole thing and see how it ends.
now: follow my anthropology leanings and hope I can support myself without spending the next forty years in a museum, or go the government path and maybe be able to shoot someone — legally.
Either way, I'll have given myself the opportunity to do something different, to learn about something new, and hopefully to learn something about myself in the process. I heard somewhere that the best way to find out your true nature was to go someplace completely outside of your comfort zone and see how you respond. An internship in D.C. sure would fit the bill.
When I was a kid, a girl about my age named Michaela Garrett was kidnapped from a neighborhood in Hayward, Calif., a mere 20 miles from my house. She was never found. All around us there is danger, but most of us only realize it when it is too late, when it invades our lives and changes us forever. We ask ourselves, "Why, how could it happen to us?" But we never seem to find any answers.
I guess I want to do this FBI internship so that I can see the theatrical preview. Maybe it'll be good, and I'll want to go see the movie when it comes out. Maybe it won't be, but I'll only have wasted a fraction of my life.
Well, at least that's a start. Only 322 words left to go.
If there is some chance that I could help prevent an Oklahoma bombing, or come a little closer to understanding why the Colorado shootings happened, or even just help find a Michaela, maybe I could start believing that one person can make a difference. Maybe the world could get just a little bit safer, and we could forget about all the danger for just a little while longer.
I am sure I will be doing some filing and making coffee, but I am also seeking some answers. Answers in my own life and in the world in which we live.
Peacock is a Newark, Calif., junior in anthropology and political science.
Feedback
Ventura too candid
As a Kansas alumnus and native Minnesota, I feel an obligation to respond to Jenny Oakson's Oct. 6 column on Minnesota's outspoken governor, Jesse Ventura. Oakson missed the mark by praising his candid manner and straight-talking reputation. Jesse has not only alienated the majority of people in Minnesota with his recent remarks and rhetoric, but the people of Minnesota have lost faith in their governor to do the right things and lead the state into the next millennium.
Oakson's comment that we must applaud his candor is not only disappointing, but offensive to anyone who believes in religion, anyone who believes sexual harassment is wrong (Tailhook was no big deal), or any of the other outspoken ideas the governor proclaimed in the 10 page Plavbov article.
Miss Oakson also claimed that the governor promised to remain honest during his campaign. While there are many examples that I could site of how the governor has gone back on his word, none is more apparent than the current fallout from his article. Since the article was made public in the Minnesota media, Ventura and his political spinsters have been combating his comments in one way or another. The straight-talking Ventura, as Oakson would say, has repeatedly had to recant or try to explain what he truly meant in the article.
While Oakson is entirely right when she said that Jesse is "cooking up much publicity," it is not the kind of publicity Minnesota wants or deserve. Nor does Minnesota want a buffoon with an ever-enlarging ego trouncing across the country talking about himself rather than doing the people's business.

Keep the seal
I disagree with the argument that says the University seal should be replaced. While the picture of Moses is from the Christian Bible, it is not trying to persuade people to believe in the Christian faith. It is merely a portrayal of a person from a historical document that has had a profound impact
Perhaps anyone wanting to impose their religious views on everything should wonder why, in a world they believe was entirely created by a god, it would be such a humbling travesty to question the anthropocentric ideology. Why is it acceptable to teach our children the cell theory and the theory of gravity but not the theory of evolution because some people are uncomfortable with its evidence and implications?

Wanted to see Gould
Cassie Holman Liberal junior
Stephen Jay Gould's lecture Wednesday was enhanced by the reassuring applause of the audience after any reference to the reversal of the Kansas School Board's decision that hopefully will take place. Every creationist in the state should have attended to witness how ridiculous one of their supporters sounded during the question-and-answer session. His vague and illogical comments were an embarrassment, and as Gould pointed out, he was actually demonstrating that he accepted microevolution.
This morning there is an empty page in my notebook where I had hoped to record insights gained from a lecture by Stephen Jay Gould, whose work and writings on evolutionary biology I have long admired. I had looked forward to this event since it was first announced, but when I arrived 15 minutes early for the free lec

The KU seal was designed more than a hundred years ago. It is a tradition that should not be casually reinvented to make sure no one is offended. Cultures should not continually reinvent themselves to include everyone. It only results in a loss of any identity at all.
Gould reassuring
If I were living in a country that was predominantly Buddhist, I would not be offended at seeing a statue of the Buddha sitting in a public place. Even if I do not agree with the message the statue is sending, I can still appreciate that it is an important aspect of the country's culture.
ture at the Lied Center, there was a capacity crowd, and the doors had been locked. I joined the throng on the sidewalk.
I'm responding to the editorial in Thursday's paper about how the "stopping of the float stops expression." Already too much attention has been paid to this lack of maturity. I find it sad that our supposedly bright students try to make "political" statements by using obscenities. This does not show either intelligence or maturity.
Float was immature
To then hide behind the defense of the First Amendment is incredible. This is what is wrong with this country. We have allowed ourselves to stoop to such levels of sheer stupidity when we are capable of much better things. To whine about how the greek communities are taking over the campus and then commit such an embarrassing act is incredibly counterproductive.
I had to be content with listening to tapes of Stephen Jay Gould's words on my drive home and hoping that those naive ones who had acquired the seats might be likewise enlightened.
Some had come from as far as 200 miles to hear the words of a thoughtful man, but the majority were students waving pink cards they were anxious to have signed to validate the fact they had attempted (albeit unsuccessfully) to attend an assigned lecture. I could only assume that the same ratio existed among those who now occupied the seats in the auditorium. And I was irritated to think that while I had gone to the library to read and reread the work of Professor Gould to more perfectly appreciate his lecture, many of those others outside the door with me were relieved (once their pink cards were collected) that they didn't have to actually attend.

Someone from a scholarship hall should know this. It seems, however, they don't. I'd like to see more representation by other student communities, but it needs to show intelligence and responsibility, not a temper tantrum.

Formal recruitment process links 27 men with fraternities

Chris Zoller, Littleton, Co. sophomore, was one of 27 students who pledged a fraternity Friday, marking the end of the University's first October formal recruitment process.
Zoller, who joined Sigma Nu, said the formal process helped him to narrow down his options.
"I chose Sigma Nu because I knew a few of the guys there from high school, and I thought that would make the transition easier," he said. "The guys I met were also really friendly."
Although 27 men joined chapters,40 had registered to participate.
The formal process usually is conducted in August, but it was moved to October this year in an attempt to boost recruitment numbers.
Brian Cooper, Interfraternity Council vice president for recruitment, said five of the men who registered never showed up for any of the activities that occurred throughout the week. Another three men did not pick up their invitations to join.
He said another five decided not to join the fraternities to which they were invited.
Of the 23 fraternity chapters on campus, five did not participate in the formal recruitment process because their houses were full from informal recruitment. Most new members joined

Tau Kappa Epsilon was one of the fraternities that participated but did not receive any new members.
Of the 18 chapters that participated, nine received new members.

The five fraternities that did not participate were Alpha Epsilon Pi, Beta Theta Pi, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Kappa Psi and Triangle.
Garden City junior, said it was frustrating to spend the required time throughout the week and not to see it pay off.
He said his chapter would have been willing to accept all of the men that participated and had hoped a couple people would join.
"I'm always disappointed when things don't go right," he said. "We have to rely on open rush, because we aren't getting members this way."
Cooper said he was pleased with how the process went.
"It was a trial period, but based upon the positive feedback we received, it's probably something we'd do again," he said.
However, he said next year the Interfraternity Council may move the process up a couple of weeks.

Area bikers find freedom in motorcycle ride
Joe Zeller, professor of design and ceramics, strained his eyes to see what was obscuring the road ahead. A small dark cloud covered the highway, and Zeller's motorcycle
was going to take him right through the middle.
"I noticed the road in front of me was a little cloudy," Zeller said. "I was going about 80, and I realized the cloud was a swarm of bees. I zipped through, killing about 200 bees. I was covered with bee pollen and carcasses. I was fully clothed so I wasn't stung."
The bees were not so lucky.
"You just don't think about those things in a car." Zeller said.
things in a car, zeller said.
Some are abandoning cars, or cages as some bikers call them, and hitting the road on bikes.
"It's a real feeling of self-sufficiency," said Eric Alfrey, Shorewood, Wis., senior. "I look down, and there's nothing between me and the road. It's freaky, but once you get past that, it's an amazing feeling."
Alfrey just bought his bike, a 1981 Suzuki, two months ago, but he rode his dad's bike all summer.
"I knew my dad rode in college," Alfrey said. "I heard stories and saw pictures. I'm carrying on a tradition, in a sense."
Alfrey said his bike was the best way to relax.
"Riding a bike is as close to flying as you can get," he said.
Mike Richardson, director of facilities operations, likes to travel the hills of southern Missouri and northern Arkansas on his 1982 Honda Gold wing Aspencade with his wife. Johnelle
"You can really see everything and experience the hills — it's kind of romantic." Richardson said.
"You can experience the environment so much more; you experience the curves and elevation."
Zeller, who owns three bikes,
said the first time he rode in the mountains was the most memorable.
"You could feel the air temperature changes as you go in and out of the shadows," he said. "You could smell the pine trees. It was a sense of being apart from the vehicle and a part of the surroundings."
Lawrence residents Paul and Voni Graves have taken family motorcycle road trips to North Dakota, South Dakota and Nebraska.
The Graves admit they are more enthusiastic than the average rider. Paul is the president of the BMW Motorcycle Owners Association, which has 30,000 members nationwide. Voni has won the BMW mileage contest four of the last ten years.
"We put one kid on each bike." Paul said. "They couldn't fight; the most they could do was stick out their tongues at each other."
Paul Graves started Fix Your Bike weekends in his garage for area bikers. Before long, he was writing a local monthly technical article in the BMW owners' newsletter. He now holds seminars at national rallies and writes for the national newsletter. Voni conducts seminars for woman riders and about long-distance riding.
"I encourage women to ride," Voni Graves said. "Many women are raised to think motorcycles are scary things. I want them to get past that. I have found riding to be a most wonderful thing, and I want them to experience it too."
Local rallies let enthusiasts experience their hobby together. On the
first Sunday of every month, hundreds of bikers ride into Cassoday to grab a bite to eat, look at different bikes and hang out. Another big rally is held at Perry Lake during Labor Day weekend.
"You don't need a bike," said Jeff Fieger, Topeka resident and Harley Davidson rider. "Just show up for a good time. It's like a big party. Just bring your tent. Stay up, get drunk til you puke and drink some more."
Motorcycles are just as much a vehicle for friendship as a mode of transportation.
The Graves have an extensive network of motorcycle friends.
"I don't think there is any place in the United States where we could be more than 100 miles from someone we know," Paul Graves said.
Richardson said there was a bond among riders.
"Quite often, when I fill up my cycle, people talk to me," Richardson said. "They ask where I've been, where I'm going. They ask about my like. You get closer to people, which I think is a part of traveling."
Fieger said bikers were more likely to help each other, too.
"Usually, when you see a motorcycle broken down on the side of the road, you see another cycle pulled over helping," Fieger said. "How many times do you see a car just pass another car that needs help?"
The hospitality and friends are secondary to a freedom blkers say can't be experienced in a car.
"It makes my heart pound just thinking about it," Voni Graves said. "I can't put it into words. It's the testing of yourself and the machine, and getting a little better all the time — pushing the envelope."
OLYMPIC
Below: For Paul Graves, the president of the BMW Motorcycle Owners Association, motorcycles are a family affair. He and his wife, Voni, also a motorcycle enthusiast, have taken their children on motorcycle road trips.
Above: A car ride through campus is a contained experience. But burning down Sunnyside Avenue on a motorcycle, riders can feel the sun at their backs.

Wildcat juggernaut smashes Kansas, pains columnist
MANHATTAN, Kan. — The key is to show up three hours before the game starts. If you show up early enough, you might forget the differences in football programs. You might not think that four long hours later, odds are there will be a 40-point difference in score.
That is what I did. Game starts at 1 p.m.?
I'm there at 10 p.m.
Three hours before a Kansas home game, the parking attendants are preparing for cars. Students are shaking off their Friday night hangovers. Alumni are preparing to fight the traffic on Kansas Highway 10.
Three hours before a Kansas State game,
it's working attendants are busy directing
Suburbans with giant Power Cat magnets on the doors into large fields surrounding the stadium. Students are not only barbecuing, but they're barbecuing in comfort. They've brought the couch with them so they can eat hot dogs and get a beer buzz with their feet up. Alumni have the giant Winnobee painted purple with the sound system on loud.
1987
Seth Jones sports columnist sports@kanasa.com
Today, I'm wearing my sunglasses for a
special reason. It's like Clark Kent wearing glasses and a tie so no one realizes that he's Superman.
In my case, my weak disguise of glasses and a tie is so that no one realizes I'm the guy who told K-Staters that the only job they'll have after graduation is painting over ugly Power Cat logos. It's only one day after a scathing column of mine ran in K-State's Collegian. I've had more threats via e-mail than spam messages from Bill Gates promising I'll make thousands of dollars.
It's not that I'm a coward. After all, I went to Manhattan with my precious car and my life on the line. It's just that I'm outnumbered; 10,000 students versus one loud-mouthed sports columnist equals Jonesey unable to type for 4 to 6 weeks.
There's a cloud of smoke from all the trucks and Winnebagos with the barbecue rolling. The main course now is hamburgers and hot dogs. In three hours it's freshly tendered Jayhawk meat.
Keep in mind that it's still the exciting time of the game, when all the purple and smoke and music has me thinking "Why not?" We can beat these guys. We will beat these guys. These guys aren't that good. After all, they haven't seen through my Clark Kent disguise yet.
Two-and-a-half hours later, the teams are getting ready for war. 52,254 people are packed KSU Stadium. It was the largest crowd ever to view a sporting event in Kansas.
The student section at KSU is awesome. Before anyone was allowed in the stadium, purple pompons were placed at every seat. So when K=State runs onto the field, the student section looks more like purple and white static then a crowd of blood-thirsty students.
The obnoxious reporter next to me leans over and says, "I think your team is in trouble." My secret identity is blown.
Their JumboTron, a mere small screen TV when compared to the mighty MegaVision, shows highlights of K-State games. Then they pull out the video of Quarterback Zac Wegner being made into a Wildcat and cheese sandwich. They show it three times. In slow motion.
The Power Cat in the middle of the field is almost 20 yards wide. The 20 people wearing a color other than purple can be spotted easily among the sea of purple-clad fans.
Now I'm mad. I've got that taste of adrenaline. You know, that sweetness in the back part of your mouth. My palms are sweaty. I'm ready for the 'Hawks to spill this record-sized crowd.
Then the game starts. That is when the fun ends. The purple goes from amusing, in a feel-sorry-for-them way, to a nauseating color that makes my eyes hurt. The combined 26 penalties for 216 yards make this the longest, most painful game to watch, ever. The 50 points scored by K-State to the 9 points scored by Kansas makes the game seem like everyone should have stayed by their grills.
It's sad that the most exciting part of the Sunflower Showdown is the three hours prior to kickoff. It's even more sad that it's Kansas' fault.

The difference between Kansas and Kansas State Saturday wasn't just the 50-9 final score, it was that the Wildcats made big plays when they had to and Kansas didn't.
The score was just a byproduct.
"It was the big plays that hurt us, no doubt about that," said Linebacker Tim Bowers.
"Obviously with K-State's execution of the big play, any momentum we had offensively was taken away from us and truly led to our demise," said coach Terry Allen.
Long touchdown passes, turnovers and poor punting gave the Wildcats their chance to win.
"We couldn't make any catches. We couldn't make any runs. We just didn't make any plays." Mitch Bowles Kansas running back
With the exception of passing
exception of passing yards, Kansas was even with K-State statistically. K-State had 21 first downs to Kansas' 18. Rushing yards: Kansas 220, K-State 232. The two teams were even on third-down conversions, total plays and time of possession. Big plays negated all of that.
The big plays. and
The big plays, and they were nothing more than subtle differences of what some teams do better than other teams.

Norris: Provided some of Jayhawks' only highlights
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas fullback Moran Norris said he thought it couldn't get any better than last week — for him at least.
After catching three passes for 36 yards and a touchdown last week, Norris took the place of injured David Winbush Saturday against Kansas State and rushed for 42 yards on nine carries, including a touchdown. He also had one of the prettiest catches of the game, hauling in a high
Dylen Smith pass in the first quarter.
"I had to go up and get it with one hand," Norris said. "It was high, so I had to bring it down and hold on it."
Kansas wanted to establish the pass against K-State, but when that didn't work, Norris' rushing became a pleasant surprise.
"Moran just played so hard it was good to see," coach Terry Allen said. "We're just banged up offensively at running back we had to play him at running back."
Mitch Bowles, the Jayhawks' other starting running back, came into the
game with a sore knee, so the coaches were unsure of how much he could play. But Bowles combined with Smith and Norris for 144 yards, a vast improvement from last year's total of three rushing yards against the Wildcats.
Most of those yards came on big plays, including a 35-yard run by Smith, a 28-yard run by Norris and a 22-yard run by Bowles.
Norris' run was one of the few offensive highlights for Kansas. At 6-feet-2 and 245 pounds, Norris is a straight-ahead runner — but he showed some
SCORING BY QUARTER
Kansas 3 6 0 0—9
Kansas State 10 20 13 7—50
nimblemess on his run. Coming through the hole, he broke a tackle, danced around a Wildcat linebacker and ran to the K-State 28-vard line.
"It's nothing new to me," he said. "In high school I was used to making plays like that all the time. I'm just happy knowing that I can go into the game and help the offense."

'Hawks sweep Baylor before crowd
By Shawn Hutchinson

Kansan sportswriter
It was the largest crowd to date at the center and also marked the first win for Kansas against Baylor since 1985.
The Jayhawks pounded their third-straight Big 12 Conference opponent on Saturday night, sweeping Baylor 3-0 in front of 1,043 fans at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
The Kansas volleyball team is starting to make flogging look like an art form.
"I don't think either team was that sharp," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "But we fought hard."
And as a result, the Jayhawks improved to 13-4 overall and 4-2 in the Big 12, while Baylor dropped to 15-4 and 3-3.
The Jayhawks took control of the match right away. Kansas jumped out to an 8-4 lead in the first game, and when the Bears came back and took the lead at 9-8, the Jayhawks hit back
hard.
Freshman defensive specialist Jennifer Kraft served an ace, senior outside hitter Mary Beth Albrecht picked up a kill and a block-assist, senior middle blocker Amanda Reves had two kills and a block-assist and junior outside hitter Nancy Bell chipped in a kill and a block. Kansas rallied for a 15-10 game-one win.
"We have a bunch of people on this team who believe we can (win)," Reves said. "And if you think you can, you will."
The Jayhawks kept the same mentality in punishing Baylor in games two and three, winning 15-9 and 15-11.
Kansas had four players with doublefigure kills in the match. Albrecht had 17, junior outside hitter Amy Myatt had 16, Reves had 15, and Bell, starting in the place of injured Danielle Geronymo, had 13. Sophomore setter Molly LaMere paced the team with 53 assists and added four kills for an .800 hitting percentage.
The win capped off a week of victories for the Jayhawks. Last Saturday, Kansas beat Texas Tech for the first time, then picked up a road win Wednesday at Oklahoma. Then they beat Baylor, a team that had been 8-1 all-time against Kansas and had just scored an upset at home on Wednesday night by beating No. 16 Texas A&M.
The Jayhawks, though, paid no attention to the past on Saturday night and dispatching Baylor in just one hour and 33 minutes.
The Jayhawks next will be in action at 7 p.m. Wednesday, when they take on No. 17 Kansas State in Manhattan. The Wildcats are the only undefeated team in the Big 12 at 6-0, and they are 12-2 overall.
Edited by Brad Hallier
"We felt like we needed to end the rallies early, because Baylor is very quick and is a rally-oriented team." Bechard said. "I was extremely pleased about some of the longer rallies that we won."

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 5.
You're squirming, possibly because of a shortage of funds. Your partner may be able to help.
Don't ask for a loan; ask for advice on getting a better job. Then, most importantly, take the advice and do it!
Taurus: Today is an 8.
Share the load. You can't do it all, nor should you. Do you want people to recognize your value? No problem. Get someone to help with the invisible part. Keep the fun, creative part — and the glory — for yourself. It's about time you did.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
You're lucky, but today could be rough anyway You're wise, but there's a big problem to figure out. Don't talk much. Your success might peeve somebody else. No point in talking about your miseries, either. Listen, and you'll make more friends.
Cancer: Today is an 8.
You're looking good. You're popular, too. And, therein lies the dilemma. Should you be with your sweetheart or with your old friend? These two may not go well together, but you can find time for both. Special time.
Leo: Today is a 6.
Get a video and watch it at home, rather than going out. Or, you could forget the video and the TV and have an old-fashioned conversation. You remember. That's when a couple of people talk directly to each other. Start out by listening, and the other person will think you're brilliant.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
Today you'll find it easier to focus and to make big decisions. This is good, especially if others are in a dither. Be careful traveling, however, especially in connection with your work. You're sharp, but you may need to be. Pay attention to where you're going!
Money could be a problem today. You want to buy too many things. This is not unusual, actually. You like to shop. You need to put some money away, however, and your sweetheart may need your support. Give love but use the money to pay off a debt.
Scorpio: Today is an 8.
You and someone else are going around and around. Get the rules figured out, or it'll get worse instead of better. Also, determine what both of you are trying to accomplish. The other side may cave today, so push for what you want.
You're in a casual, carefree, uninhibited mood. Unfortunately, you have too many chores to complete. Drifting off into la la land is not recommend ed. You know what needs to be done. Do it — the sooner the better.
O
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.

O
男女同厕
You might be in the mood to talk about your sweetheart with your friends. Take care. Don't say anything that isn't supportive to the relationship, and you'll do fine. With that minor cautionary note out of the way, you can relax into a marvelous day!
Pisces: Today is an 8.
舞姿优美
LION
You want to try new things and to be outrageous. Well, maybe you ought to be a little more inhibited, instead. That's especially true in a work setting. You could go too far with a stodgy older person, and it's just not worth the bother.
You're decisive and strong today. If you're going to travel, though, take care. Make lists and get organized first. Check the map. You'll be in a good mood when you start out, and if you're prepared, you'll be in a good mood when you arrive at your destination, too.

In the longest game in Colorado history — exactly four hours — and the school's first overtime game, Colorado (3-2, 2-0 Big 12) railed from a 25-18 deficit with three straight fourth-quarter touchdowns. Interceptions by Brady McDonnell and Damen Wheeler accounted for two of the scores, helping the Buffaloes take a 39-25 lead with 4:12 left.

Kansas blows crucial plays during loss to K-State
Continued from page 1B
Concerned with the return abilities of K-State punt returner David Allen, Kansas punter Joey Pelfanio punted away from the kick returner most of the game. That gave Pelfanio trouble, who shanked three kicks, giving K-State excellent field position.
"It's hard to kick the ball out of bounds and not kick it off the side of your foot," Allen said.
Kansas had good field position once,
but fumbled three plays later.
K-State ranked up 19 rankings for 100
K-State racked up 18 penalties for 162
yards, but the Jayhawks couldn't take advantage of them. They missed one field goal and another was blocked.
When the Jayhawks did drive 88 yards to the K-State four-yard line, they were unable to score three times and settled for a field goal.
An 88-yard touchdown pass from K State quarterback Jonathan Beasley to wide receiver Quincy Morgan developed from a broken play. Kansas pressured Beasley, he scrambled out of the pocket and connected with Morgan, who had drifted behind the Kansas secondary.
Twelve minutes later, Beasley and
Morgan hooked up again on a 48-yard reception that would set up a K-State touchdown.
"The defense just gave up those long bombs. That will kill you," said safety Greg Erb.
Quarterback Dylan Smith was 727 for 77 yards and had trouble establishing a rhythm with his receivers. Physical bump-and-run coverage by K-State kept the Kansas wide receivers from getting open, ruining the Jayhawks' game plan of establishing the passing game.
Kansas played well, gave up a few big plays, then was down by a lot of
points and couldn't come back.
"We keep giving up the first touchdown of every game," said wide receiver Michael Chandler. "I don't know what it is, but we have to stop that."
Running back Mitch Bowles, who had success against K-State with 102 yards on 20 carries simplified the Jayhawks' problems a bit more.
"We couldn't make any catches," he said. "We couldn't make any runs. We just didn't make any plays. It's not about can we move the ball, it's can we do it and make big plays."

The Big 12 Conference should be paying attention now.
By defeating Oklahoma State 4-2 on Friday and Oklahoma 2-1 yesterday, the Jayhawk soccer team muscled its way into prime contention for a first-ever conference tournament berth.
"It came down in the end to a test of character," coach Mark Francis said. "People were getting tired, and it was hot. We had to sub people more than we normally do, and it made a difference getting fresh legs in there. It was really a team effort."
In yesterday's game against Oklahoma, Kansas scored early. In the 17th minute, junior Hilla Rantala worked the right goal line and split the defense with a pass to junior Katie Lents, who scored.
Kansas struck again in the 66th minute when Colleen Colvin passed to Rantala, who flicked it toward the goal. Sophomore Natalie Hoogyveld then out-fought two defenders for the ball and slid it into the far side of the net.
Oklahoma's goal came in the 81st minute when Jonette Cocat sent a pass across the front of the goal, and Kansas player Brianna Valento,
The Jayhawks delivered a solid defensive effort with senior Laura Rohde making her starting debut in goal. Staunch defensive efforts also were turned in by senior Cynthia Dahle, junior Emma Di Cesare and freshman Nikki Wahle.
The game was a dogfight, with the Sooners out-fouling the Jayhawks 18-13. The physical play allowed the Kansas' toughness to shine, as many players refused to back down from their opponents.
"I thought we did well not to back down," Francis said. "We're not
abraid of that. We have some players that don't mind mixing it up."
Senior defender Lindsey Loeffler gave a gutsy performance, playing the first half with a bandaged forehead. Loeffler split open her forehead in a head-to-head collision in Friday's game, but it didn't seem to bother her as she attacked headers with her usual drive.
With the win, Kansas improved to 8-5 overall, 3-3 in the Big 12 Conference. The win set a team record for wins in a season and extended its conference winning streak to three games.
Volleyball player switches to soccer

Kansas sportswriter
Edited by Kelly Clasen
Laura Rohde has volleyball in her blood, but it was her soccer game that stood out yesterday.
Rohde, a fifth-year senior, played volleyball for Kansas for the last four years but was recruited by coach Mark Francis as a backup goal keeper for the soccer team this year.
Rhode said she was surprised to get a call from Francis asking her to join the team but that she thought the experience would be fun.
Rohde has been learning well, and her improvement earned her the starting nod for yesterday's game against Oklahoma.
"We've been giving up too many goals off crosses and off of corners," Francis said. "Rohde's been doing a good job in practice and does a good job of getting out."
Although nervous, she said she was able to clear her mind and get the job done yesterday.
"Once I got out there and started playing, all the nervousness went away, and I felt like I was on the volleyball court again." she said.
Her debut was solid. She collected five saves during Kansas' 2-1 win.
Francis said he thought Rohde's teammates had noticed her work ethic.
"She works her butt off every day as hard as she can and never gives less than 110 percent," Francis said.
Rhode said she had enjoyed her soccer experience so far and was glad she joined the team.
"I'm really glad I did this." Rohde said. "It's been a learning experience, and the main thing is I'm having so much fun. And the girls are awesome."

Freshman Eleazar Magallan provided a high point for the Kansas men's tennis team this weekend at the All-American Championships in Austin, Texas.
Magallan performed well in the prequalifying round of the nation's largest NCAA Division I tennis tournament, winning his first two matches.
In the first round, Magallan defeated Steven Patak of Texas in straight sets 6,4-2 and then beat Andy Leber of Texas-Arlington 3-6, 6-2, 6-0 in the second round.

Forbes, Buchanan criticize Bush at K.C. convention
The Associated Press
pro-life policy and family values to members of the public and about 320 delegates at an NFRA rally or Saturday.
Mo.
KANSAS CITY
Conservative candidates vying for the Republican presidential nomination criticized George W. Bush on Saturday for beating up on the conservatives and distancing himself from core GOP values.
"My concern with Mr. Bush is what he's saying out there on the campaign trail." Pat Buchanan told about 1,000 people at the National Federation of Republican Assemblies convention. "He's been beating up on the conservatives. He's been pandering to the media by beating up on us."
KANSAS CITY.
Buchanan and fellow conservatives Gary Bauer, Steve Forbes and Alan Keyes preached tax reform.
Buchanan came in second with 172 votes, or 20.7 percent, followed by Keyes with 149 votes and Bauer with 96 votes.
Buchanan: Said Bush is beating up on conservatives
The NFRA, founded in 1996, is a grassroots conservative organization that bills itself as the Republican wing of the Republican Party.
Bush, who skipped the convention along with GOP front-runners John McCain, Elizabeth Dole and Orrin Hatch, received 35 votes. McCain and Dole received three each, and Hatch none.
Meanwhile, at the rally, demands for comprehensive tax reform and anti-abortion Supreme Court justices drew wild cheers from the audience.
Forbes, while introducing his 17 percent flat tax, proposed to eliminate all individual taxes such as a death tax, or as Forbes put it, taxation without respiration.
"The whole tax structure today is rigged against you," Forbes said.
Lindsborg man to appear in court
Father will face charges of killing three children
The Associated Press
McPHERSON—A Lindsborg man's first court appearance on charges of killing his three children has been scheduled for this afternoon at the McPherson County District Court, during the hours a visitation for the girl and two boys will be held at a church.
Christopher Ernest Jones, an unemployed forensic toxicologist from Lindsborg, was charged Friday with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of aggravated battery.
Jones, 47, is being held in McPherson County Jail on a $3.5 million bond. His wife, Catherine, was released Friday night from the Lindsbord Community Hospital, where she was treated for stab wounds
The couple's children Christopher 7; Joshua 5
Christopher, j.7, Joshua, s. and Sarah, 2 — were found dead in their Lindsburg home after their bloodied mother ran screaming to a neighbor's house for help late Wednesday night.
Mary Tritsch, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Attorney General's Office, said Friday that prosecutors had not yet determined if they would seek the death penalty if Jones is convicted.
Lindsborg since this summer, moving from Winslow, Maine, after Christopher Jones lost his job there.
David W. Crook, district attorney for the Winslow area, told the Kennebec (Maine) Journal that Jones had no criminal history in Winslow.
Meanwhile, family and friends are planning funeral services in Lindsburg. Visitation will be from 2 to 9 p.m. today at Hays Funeral Home. Services have been set for 10:30 a.m. tomorrow at Trinity United Methodist Church.
The Jones family had been living in
"This community is in shock, because they can't understand how a family that looked so good together, how this could happen," said Rev. David Smith, pastor at Trinity.

KANSAS CITY. Mo.—Conservative candidates vying for the Republican presidential nomination criticized George W. Bush on Saturday for beating up on the conservatives and distancing himself from core GOP values.
pro-life policy and family values to members of the public and about 320 delegates at an NFRA rally on Saturday.
"My concern with Mr. Bush is what he's saying out there on the campaign trail," Pat Buchanan told about 1,000 people at the National Federation of Republican Assemblies convention. "He's been beating up on the conservatives. He's been pandering to the media by beating up on us."
Buchanan and fellow conservatives Gary Bauer, Steve Forbes and Alan Keyes preached tax reform.
Forbes won a nonbinding straw poll,
receiving 380 of 829 votes, or
45.4 percent.
Buchanan came in second with 172 votes, or 20.7 percent, followed by Keyes with 149 votes and Bauer with 86 votes.

Buchanan: Said Bush is beating up on conservatives
The NFRA, founded in 1996, is rassroots conservative organi
tion that bills itself as the Republican wing of the Republican Party.
Bush, who skipped the convention along with GOP front-runners John McCain, Elizabeth Dole and Orrin Hatch, received 35 votes. McCain and Dole received three each, and Hatch none.
Meanwhile, at the rally, demands for comprehensive tax reform and anti-abortion Supreme Court justices drew wild cheers from the audience.
Forbes, while introducing his 17 percent flat tax, proposed to eliminate all individual taxes such as a death tax, or as Forbes put it, taxation without respiration.
"The whole tax structure today is rigged against you," Forbes said.

Christopher Ernest Jones, an unemployed forensic toxicologist from Lindsborg, was charged Friday with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of aggravated battery.
Jones, 47, is being held in McPherson County Jail on a $3.5 million bond. His wife, Catherine, was released Friday night from the Lindsborg Community Hospital, where she was treated for stab wounds.

The couple's children — Christopher, 7, Joshua, 5; and Sarah, 2
Mary Tritsch, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Attorney General's Office, said Friday that prosecutors had not yet determined if they would seek the death penalty if Jones is convicted.

David W. Crook, district attorney for the Winslow area, told the Kennebec (Maine) Journal that Jones had no criminal history in Winslow.
Meanwhile, family and friends are planning funeral services in Lindsborg. Visitation will be from 2 to 9 p.m. today at Hays Funeral Home. Services have been set for 10:30 a.m. tomorrow at Trinity United Methodist Church.
The Jones family had been living in
"This community is in shock, because they can't understand how a family that looked so good together, how this could happen," said Rev. David Smith, pastor at Trinity.

Beasley was not Michael Bishop, but close enough
By Mike Miller
By Mike Miller sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The Jayhawk defense must have been having flashbacks.
Coach Terry Allen said before the game on Saturday that the main difference between this year's Wildcat team and last year's version was that the team lacked Michael Bishop, someone who made a difference.

"Nothing against (Jonathan) Beasley or (Adam) Helm, but they're no Michael Bishop," Allen said.
Beasley, who started at quarterback against the Jayhawks, did his best Michael Bishop impersonation Saturday, scrambling, throwing and picking apart the Kansas defense. His performance — 10-of-17 passing for 279 yards, two touchdowns and three touchdowns rushing — reminded some of the Jayhawks of Bishop last season.
"In terms of big plays, he was just as good as Bishop last year," linebacker Tim Bowers said. It showed from the start.
K-State punted on its first possession, then started its second from its own 10-yard line. Beasley scrambled, had time, then connected with wide receiver Quincy Morgan for an 88-yard touchdown.
The big play hurt Kansas. And that's what Beasley did all day.

Morgan was the other Wildcat that hurt Kansas on Saturday. He only had five catches, but they were for 192 yards. He had touchdown catches of 88 yards, 34 yards and another reception for 43 yards. It was his speed that hurt the most Saturday, because the Jayhawks just couldn't keep up with him.
"We knew all about Quincy. We tried desperately to recruit him out of junior college. He is an outstanding player," Allen said.

Student set to defend swastika drawings
By Michael Terry writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
All swastikas are not equal, or at least that's what Jimmy Adra thinks.
on sept. 30, the Wichita sophomore wrote on a public doodle board located in the eighth floor lobby of McCollum Hall, "When the revolution comes you'll not be spared," with waskitas drawn on each side.
Adra will go before the department of student housing at 9:30 a.m. in the basement of Gertrude Sollards Pearson-Corbin Hall to answer questions about whether he violated the student housing policy harassment clause.
Kim Grassmeyer, assistant director of student housing, said the department did not have any comment at this time.
Adra said he did not have any racist intentions when wrote the remarks and drew the two swastikas on the board.
The American Civil Liberties Union will represent ADA in today's fact-finding hearing
"I did it to see if student housing would overreact, and I believe my actions are protected by the first amendment." Adra said. "Everyone should fight for their rights before government or even student housing tries to take them away."
"Adra didn't do this to harm anyone." Jenkins said. "He has a right to his freedom of expression, and he should not be punished for his actions."
represent Adra in today's fact-finding hearing. J.D. Jenkins, ACLU advocacy chair and Shawnee junior, said Adra had a constitutional right to exercise his freedom of expression.
If Adra is found guilty of harassment, the punishment could range from a verbal reprimand to expulsion from the University. Jenkins said he thought expulsion was too extreme a punishment.
This is the second instance this calendar year where a swastika was found displayed in a residence hall.
On March 18, Arron Hale Culwell, a St. Francis freshman at the time, burned a swastika into the carpet of the third floor Hallway in Oliver Hall.
Adra said he thought everyone had an inherent right to be racist as long as they didn't act upon it.
"The board was public forum, and anyone should be allowed to voice their opinions." Adra said. "Suppression is not the way to get rid of hate groups."
Ted Fredrickson, a professor of journalism who also is a lawyer, said that he thought everyone had the right to live in peace in their own home.
"If he would have done it outside on the sidewalk on campus where everyone could see, it would have been different," Fredrickson said. "That building is not just his home, but other people's home, and a home is not a public forum."

Student rights committee directed to examine bias in blood drives
By Chris Bornerig
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
An inquiry will begin tonight into whether the American Red Cross discriminates against some of its donors.
The student rights committee will investigate the Red Cross' blood screening process for evidence of bias against sexual orientation. The investigation was initiated by Korb Maxwell, student body president.
Jason Thompson, committee chairman.
said the committee would seek an answer before next spring's blood drive.
"We felt like we needed to do something," he said. "This is very much an issue of students' rights."
In the screening process, staff ask donors about their health histories — including male-to-male sexual contact. Applicants who have had such contact are deferred, and considered at risk for HIV/AIDS.
But concentrating on just those criteria is flawed, Queens and Allies President Matthew Skinta said. He said the population of infected people overlaps all social and ethnic groups.
"I ideologically, they're targeting dangerous behavior, but it's no longer just a gay disease," he said. "Now, it would be more appropriate to ask behavior-oriented questions in the general populace."
Students discover dark side of Columbus

Kansan staff writer
As Americans celebrated Columbus Day yesterday, Native American speakers at Wescos Beach spoke of the darker side of Columbus' legacy.

and you can't take anything with you. In addition to Columbus Day, speakers protested the current treatment of Native Americans by the federal government, the use of Native American mascots by sports teams and the building of the South Lawrence Trafficway, which would impact wetlands near Haskell Indian Nations University that are considered sacred. At 9 a.m. today, advocates for preserving the wetlands and the Haskell Board of Regents will meet with proponents of the highway, including the Kansas

"We're teaching a one-sided, lopsided story of the heroism of Christopher Columbus," said Cornel Pewwardy, assistant professor of education. "What about the 100 million indigenous people that were here before Christopher Columbus? Who's going to tell that story?"
But that isn't the worst of the Columbus myth, said Michele Bointy, Poplar, Mont., senior. Most people don't realize that Columbus slaughtered Native Americans who had welcomed him into their lands, she said.
To illustrate her point, she related a story of a friend of hers who had taught kindergarten and preschool classes. In those classes, her friend told students to pretend Columbus was an alien spaceship that landed in somebody's backyard.
Columbus and to encourage people not to celebrate the day.
She said another purpose was to encourage the approximately 250 Native Americans on campus to get involved, many of whom are Haskell students who also attend the University of Kansas.
Jerry LittleWounded, a Haskell junior from Eagle Butte, S.D., who watched all the speeches, said he found the low awareness of Columbus' misdeeds discouraging.
In his home state, the law now designates what once was Columbus Day as Native American Day, he said.
LittleWounded said although he believed events such as the yesterday's speeches helped, he didn't foresee any changes to the holiday in Kansas.
“There are not enough voices in Lawrence speaking out to be able to change anything right now,” LittleWounded said. “I think that Americans and the American government are too proud to change it.”

Moore teaches students about Social Security reform difficulties

Kanson staff writer
Congressman Dennis Moore introduced 350 students yesterday to harsh political realities.
The representative from the third district of Kansas visited Burdett Loomis' Introduction to U.S. Politics class. The subject of yesterday's class was reforming Social Security and Medicare. Moore, along with Corey Davison of the nonpartisan Concord Coalition, hoped to show students the challenges of changing the Social Security and Medicare.
"Social Security was a big issue in the last campaign; it's going to be an issue in the foreseeable future," Moore said. "The big question before the public and before Congress certainly is going to be, 'What are we going to do put Social Security on a sound footing?'
The students in 110 Budig Hall broke up into eight- to 10-person groups for half of the class, working on tally sheets that presented a wide array of options available for Social Security funding. Moore circulated throughout the auditorium, chatting with various groups.
The students weren't given much time, but Loomis said it wasn't necessary.
"You can solve Social Security in 20 minutes," he said. "The politics are murder, but the math is easy."
Moore, a freshman representative, had done the same exercise with students at Johnson County Community College earlier in the day. He also worked with the Lakeview Retirement Community in Lenexa on Friday, using the same problem.
"There aren't any simple answers here," he said.
"Congress needs to pass the law — the bill that I introduced — to start telling the truth to the American people," he said.
Moore didn't present any answers of his own, although he strongly advocated taking the Social Security trust fund out of the general national budget. If the trust fund were taken out, Moore said, the government no longer would have a budget surplus.
"It's easy to stand up here and say we need to save Social Security," Moore said. "It's a lot more difficult when you say we need to make some tough choices and answer some really hard questions."
Moore also discussed with the class the possibility of partial privatization of Social Security funds, which he called an interesting possibility.
Davison, Midwest regional director for the Washington, D.C.-based non-profit Concord Coalition, assisted Moore in the class.
"We try to get youth to relate to this," he said. "There's a lot of cynicism and skepticism over whether Social Security will be there when we're older."
The 29-year-old Davison echoed Moore in calling for prompt, if painful, reforms.
"We really need to have a better understanding as public citizens about what Social Security and Medicare have wrong with them now," he said. "By doing the right thing in the near future, we'll be saving a lot of pain in the years ahead."
Erin Willis, Omaha freshman, said the exercise was interesting.
"It really excited me," she said. "It was a hands-on feeling of what our politicians are working with."

Fraternity recognized with national award
Phi Delta Theta fraternity's national headquarters announced that the KU chapter was the recipient of the 1999 Gold Star Award this summer.
The award is the highest available for overall excellence and is given to about 30 of the 180 undergraduate chapters across the country.
Jonathan Alt, chapter president and Winnetka, Ill., senior, said the chapter had won the award nine of 10 years.
"It's kind of the norm here," he said. "If we don't get it, we know we've screwed up in some way."
National headquarters reviews the chapter's scholarship, chapter management, alumni relations and student life when choosing award recipients.
Alt also said that the fraternity was working to win the Harvard Trophy, a more prestigious award.
He said the chapter had won the Harvard Trophy more than any other chapters, but it had not won it in the past several years.

Vandals strike Lazer third time, police say
An unknown suspect broke a window at the 105.9 FM Lazer office, 3125 W. Sixth St., at 3:20 a.m. Sunday, Lawrence police said.
Sgt. Rick Nickell said the suspect threw a rock through the window.
A witness described a tall, white male with spiky hair running south from the scene.
The window was valued at $200. This is the third incident of vandalism at the radio station since it changed to a top-40 format last month. Hank Booth, general manager of the station, said the situation was ironic.
"If there was any thought anywhere in our company about changing back to our old format, it is gone. We would never acquiesce to this kind of violence against our people, under any circumstances," Booth said. "It would be saying to someone out there that you can get what you want through violence. Our position is solidified. There is no way we would change now."

Haskell to hold hearing on trafficway route
The state Department of
The state Department of Transportation hopes to convince officials at Haskell Indian Nations University to drop their opposition to its proposed route for the South Lawrence Trafficway.
The state has even offered the university $5 million in compensation to support the trafficway, so far to no avail.
The Haskell Board of Regents plans to hold a day-long hearing today to hear from supporters and opponents
of the department's proposed route for the trafficway.
The Federal Highway Administration has said that Haskell approval is required for the highway because KDOT's route, along 31st Street, cuts across the south end of the Haskell campus. In May, the board declared its opposition to that route.
"I'm not optimistic," said Douglas County Administrator Craig Torr.
The county, state and federal governments have spent $53 million on the trafficway and have completed 14.5 miles, starting at the Kansas Tumpike, 9 miles west of Lawrence
The trafficway was supposed to loop south of Lawrence, but it now ends at Iowa Street, at the city's south end. Travelers who want to take Kansas Highway 10 into Johnson County must go through south Lawrence along already congested 23rd Street.

CIA rules out terrorism in encephalitis outbreak
NEW YORK — The CIA looked into rumors that the recent encephalitis outbreak in the New York area was the work of terrorists and concluded it wasn't, an agency official said yesterday.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said there was no evidence Iraq or any other foreign government was involved. The CIA looked into rumors which appeared in British media and elsewhere, the official said.
City officials also played down any suggestions of bioterrorism.
"Nothing indicates that this was anything other than a natural outbreak," said Jerome Hauer, director of the city's emergency management office.
Analysts at the CIA who deal with biological weapons said an Iraqi defector had claimed in April that Saddam Hussein was developing a strain of West Nile-like encephalitis for use as a biological weapon, The New Yorker reported in its issue that hit newsstands today.
The defector's report was published April 6 in the Daily Mail of London. It was an except from the book In The Shadow of Saddam, written by Mikhael Ramadan.
Ramadan claimed that he worked as one of Saddam's body doubles and that the Iraqi president had told him of a plan to develop a strain of West Nile encephalitis that would kill 97 percent of people in an urban environment. The magazine said Ramadan was thoughts to be hiding somewhere in North America.
LARAMIE, Wyo — Jury selection began yesterday in the trial of a suspect accused in the brutal slaying of Matthew Shepard, a gay Wyoming student, as small groups of anti-gay protesters and people dressed as
angels demonstrated outside.
Shepard case jury being selected amid protests
Seventeen people stood silently near the courthouse in costumes made of white bed sheets. Representing Angel Action, Romaine Patterson, 21, of State College, Pa., said her colleagues wanted to send a message of love.
They faced about six protesters who waved signs with anti-gay slogans. The Rev. Fred Phelps, 69, of Topeka, said his followers wanted to insert a little sanity and truth into the situation.
About 66 potential jurors were subpoenaed for today's selection process in the death penalty trial of Aaron McKinney, 22, who is charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping and aggravated robbery.
His alleged co-conspirator, Russell Henderson, 42, received two life sentences after pleading guilty in April to felony murder and kidnapping.
Shepard, 21, was lured from a bar on Oct. 7, 1998, driven to a remote prairie, tied to a fence, pistol-whipped and left unconscious on the freezing plains. He died five days later in a hospital.
McKinney, who has said he had no idea Shepard was gay and that he does not hate gay people, has pleaded not guilty. His trial date coincided with several memorials commemorating the one-year anniversary of the crime.

Officials, citizens mourn Taiwanese quake victims
LINKOU, Taiwan — Thousands gathered at a sports arena in a Taipei suburb yesterday to mourn for the more than 2,000 people killed by Taiwan's worst earthquake in decades.
On a stage dimly lit in blue light, many of the island's top leaders one by one faced a 40-foot-tall memorial to the dead and bowed three times.
Rows of military officials in formal uniforms watched from the stands along with lawmakers in dark suits and members of Buddhist, Taoist and Christian charity organizations
In a brief speech to the audience of more than 6,000, President Lee Teng-hul said the Sept. 21 quake caused losses that will be difficult to recover and left a wound in the hearts of all countrymen that will be impossible to heal.
Vice President Lien Chan then spoke about the 2,312 people killed in the 7.6-magnitude tremor that devastated large parts of central Taiwan.
"Many lost their homes in the earthquake. They lost their closest family members and friends," Lee said.
"Although we can't see you, we feel your presence, your eternal presence," Lien said.
"In the great quake, we lost our loved ones. It's in rebuilding that we achieve rebirth."

Blood bias draws committee's fire
Continued from page 1A
Administration in setting the criteria for blood collection.
"We don't fault the local blood drive organizers," he said. "We understand that the blood drive is a very valuable commodity at the University. But the question asked is outdated, and that goes much higher up. It's a big question of what we can do."
Skinta said that it would be difficult to impose any penalty, but that it would be important to send a message to the Red Cross and the FDA.
"Once they start losing blood, and they start losing money, they listen," he said.
A representative from the Douglas County Red Cross was unavailable yesterday because its office was closed for Columbus Day. Bob Arpke, All Scholarship Hall Council representative to last week's blood drive, said that the numbers of units collected and donors deferred were not yet available. Every unit of blood the Red Cross collects is tested for HIV/AIDS and a number of other diseases.
Buddy Lloyd, media director of the University of Kansas
American Civil Liberties Union, said he had consulted the regional ACLU chapter's lawyer, but that the chapter would monitor the situation further before it took any legal action.
The reason for such a complaint is understandable, but the screening process is necessarily strict, said Dr. William Dixon, a physician at Watkins Health Center.
"I can see their point, but blood donation is not a matter of equal opportunity," he said. "We're talking about a public health issue. It may appear individuals' interests are shortchanged, but they have an obligation to provide a blood stockpile that is as free of disease as they can possibly make it.
"You could say they're discriminating against IV drug users, too."
The investigating subcommittee will meet at 7:30 tonight in one of the alcoves of the Kansas Union.
"We'll definitely look into it," he said. "We oppose discrimination on all grounds."

A study by the United Nations found that among the estimated 370,000 daily births, today one is due to be the 6 billionth person currently alive.
But not everybody will be celebrating this anonymous baby's birthday.
Advocates for population control think that if unchecked, the population explosion will result in hard times for the world — famine, war and economic collapse.
Robert Holt, University of Kansas professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, said that it was unknown what this growth would cause.
"It's extremely difficult to predict the future," Holt said. "It's clear that if populations grow without
Felix Moos, professor of anthropology, said that there would be an increase in localized fighting similar to recent conflicts in Africa and Yugoslavia, because most countries could not afford the weaponry for large-scale wars.
corresponding increase in agriculture production, you will have an inevitable rise in social conflict."
With 1 billion people in India and 1.3 billion in China, Moos said that one-third of the world's population is in two countries.
In addition, he said that half the population in Japan was older than 60 while half of the population in India is younger than the age of 25.
"That means people are not distributed equally everywhere and different populations have different momentum," he said. "It's like water, it flows into areas where there is still room."
Experts said that in the last 12 years the world's population has increased by one billion and that it has tripled in the 20th century.
Moos said that as the population grew an increasing number of people would have less while a smaller number would consume more.
"If you're optimistic you believe that the world's population will reach 8 billion people by 2050." Moos said. "If you're pessimistic you believe the world is going to reach 10 billion by 2050. That means if we have trouble caring for 6 billion people, how are we going to take care of 8 billion?"
Holt said the green revolution, which dramatically increased food production in the 1960s, was effective in supplying food for countries such as India and China by supplying them and other poor countries with more advanced agricultural technology but that
there were limitations to what it could produce.
"We are requiring the use of more land for intensive agriculture, making it so other species of animals can't use the land." Holt said.
He said as a biologist he was concerned about the amount of land needed to produce food for a growing population.
He said plowing land and destroying the rain forests would cause many species to become extinct, and that it was unknown what impact it could have on the world.
Moos said that the green revolution was successful but that now there were not enough resources to educate, feed or provide employment to the increased population.
"It will have consequences," Moos said of the increase in population. "But I don't know what these consequences will be."

Professor, gorilla Hare Krishnas attend meeting

By Jim O'Malley Special to the Kanson
It was not your ordinary board meeting.
People arriving at yesterday's meeting of the Kansas Board of Education were greeted by a man in a gorilla suit protesting the board's decision to remove major parts of evolutionary theory from the state's public school science testing standards.
At the half-hour citizens' forum, Doug Ruden, an assistant professor of molecular biology from the University of Kansas, presented the Ig Nobel Prize awarded to the board. The prize was awarded on Sept. 29 by the science humor magazine, Annals of Improbable Research.
And the leader of a delegation of six orange-robed members of a Hare Krishna community in Kansas City, Mo., praised the board's decision and presented a copy of a book that argues against evolutionary theory and for the creation account in Vedic scriptures.
David A. Raffel, the man in the gorilla suit, carried signs saying "KSBOE has made a joke of science" and "Welcome to the Planet of the Apes."
Raffel said he represented Save Our Schools, a new organization with limited membership.
About 55 people attended the citizens' forum at the theater in DeSoto High School.
Ruden said the Ig Nobel Prize Academy, which includes four Nobel Laureates in the sciences, gave awards every year at Harvard for work that cannot or should not be repeated. He said the board received the award because, ironically, it contributed more to the teaching of evolution in Kansas than any science organization.
"As every parent knows, the
best way to get a student interested in a subject is to ban it, or in the case of the Kansas Science Standards, to remove it from the standards," he said. "I have taught over 1,000 students evolution at KU over the past five years, and I can tell you for a fact that the level of interest in evolution surged after you removed macro-evolution from the science standards."
Ruden finished by thanking the board for coming up with a brilliant way to improve science education.
Board chairwoman Linda
H. H. Danavir Swami, director of the Rupa Nuga Vedic College in Kansas City, Mo., led the Hare Krishna delegation, and he congratulated the board for its decision.
"The board has taken a bold and brilliant step in rejecting Darwin's evolutionary theory as a scientific principle," he said. "Darwin bluffed the world with his speculation and double talk, but the Kansas Board of Education
Holloway, who voted for the new standards, told Ruden to give the award to the board's secretary.
has called his bluff."
After the forum, Swami said there was absolutely no evidence for evolution.
His conclusion was based on evidence from Vedic scripture rather than empirical evidence, which is faulty, he said. Celtie Johnson, Prairie Village resident, spoke at the forum on behalf of the National Committee for Excellence in Science Education. She said she was grateful to the board for courage and wisdom in freeing science to pursue any theory without censorship.
Johnson said this would please most children and most scientists, and that only a fringe minority wanted to censor science.
But most of the speakers criticized the board.
Speakers compared the board to the thought police in Ray Bradbury's novel Fahrenheit 451 and said their decision was an embarrassment to Kansas.
Board members I.B. "Sonny" Rundell and Val DeFever, who both voted against the new standards, said the board majority deserved the Ig Nobel.
"It deeply saddens me that that is where we are," DeFever said. "It embarrasses me to be lumped with them. It makes me furious that their actions have drawn such negative press and thus a negative image of our state."
Board member Scott Hill, who voted for the standards, said Ruden stooped to a low level in presenting the Ig Nobel prize.
"I'm sure he feels that it helps his position," he said. "Misguided, narrow-minded, self serving bigots generally take the approach to belittle and humiliate their opposition rather than discussing on a factual level."
Although board member Bill Wagon voted against the standards, he said that ridicule and arrogance were unproductive. What was needed, he said, was better science education.

Local pizzerias thrive on customer loyalty
By Derek Prater

Kansan staff writer
Most people know Chicago-style pizza and New York-style pizza. But how about Lawrence-style pizza?
There may be no single, recognized style of pizza identifiable as Lawrence-style, but there are some locally owned pizza places whose reputations and different approaches to pizza allow them to thrive in Lawrence's high competitive pizza market.
Jessica Langdon, Prairie Village senior, said she generally ordered from national pizza chains for the cheap deals and familiar product.
"I like to stick with things that I know," Langdon said.
But she's also seen how locally owned pizza places can engender serious customer loyalty. Langdon said when she worked in Topeka, her boss, a KU graduate, swore by Pyramid Pizza.
"She says she dreams about Pyramid Pizza," Langdon said. "She'll make people bring Pyramid back to Topeka if they're coming from Lawrence."
Although national pizza chains have advantages in advertising budgets and bulk buying, local pizza-business owners say they have certain advantages that chains do not. They say that their accountability for their product brings them closer to their customers. Customer loyalty is one of several common factors that local pizzeria owners and managers cite in their
Customer loyalty is one of several common factors that local pizzeria owners and managers cite in their success.
Greg Keenan, who opened Papa
Keno's, 1035 Massachusetts St., in 1991, said his business would never have become successful without loyal customers.
"Every person who walks in our door — we want to keep that customer." Keenan said. "I wouldn't enjoy this job if it weren't for customer loyalty."
But some students, such as Jared Moeder, claim that national pizza chains offer better deals.
"Chains provide the services at a smaller cost," said Moeder, LaCrosse sophomore.
Chris Coleman, owner of Lawrence Pizza Co., 601 Kasold Drive, said local pizzerias had more flexibility.
"If you decide you want to put eggplant on your pizza, we can do that," Coleman said. "We can accommodate customers' desires more easily."
Adrian Proctor, manager at Rudy's Pizzeria, 704 Massachusetts St., pointed out that Rudy's bought its ingredients from local produce suppliers opposed to chain pizza places.
Kathryn Dodson, co-owner of Pyramid Pizza with her husband Mark, said while chains often have frozen toppings, she buys fresh ingredients every day.
Lori Morel, Oakley freshman, said she was attracted to Pyramid Pizza because it often ran specials.
And what really sets local pizzerias apart is that they can't be found anywhere else.
"We have our own thing, and we do it well," Keenan said.

Recommendation to reduce traffic on Jayhawk Boulevard is good idea
Jayhawk Boulevard long has been the center of activity on campus. The half-mile stretch of street and sidewalk caters to thousands of students, faculty and staff every day — making it at times the most densely populated part of campus. The campus core, the area of Jayhawk Boulevard from the Chi Omega fountain to Sunflower Drive, has become congested unnecessarily with student traffic, buses and service vehicles. The University of Kansas needs to take steps to increase campus beautification, improve student safety and to meet environmental standards.
A 1997 Physical Development Planning Task Force proposal to renovate and revitalize the pedestrian environment on Jayhawk Boulevard must be pushed forward. The plan would
Closing one lane of traffic would improve the campus
shrink the two-way traffic on Jayhawk Boulevard to a one-lane route for buses and bicycles during hours when class is in session.
By eliminating one side of the road there is the advantage of adding extra pedestrian space on the already-crowded sidewalks, as well as the rare opportunity to bring more green space to the campus core.
The largest concern to some in shutting down part of Jayhawk Boulevard is the inconvenience of removing the parking spaces normally used by administrators, faculty members or
However, the advantages of closing the boulevard to through traffic outweigh the disadvantages. Not only would students be allowed to walk in a safer environment on the boulevard, but also we eliminate the already illegal student traffic that makes our campus look like downtown's rush hour. Bicycle lanes also would be a nice safety and environmental improvement, effectively reducing pollution and auto noise.

individuals with medical parking permission. The task force should consider working with KU on Wheels to solve this problem by increasing the number of stops buses make at parking lots.

Technical schools merit more respect
There are multiple choices to the question of what to do with one's life after graduating high school. A popular choice is a four-year school, but there are alternatives that are being overlooked. Other forms of education, such as technical schools, have been unwisely denigrated and underfunded, but these are the institutes that could prove most productive for the future.
There are about 1,000 students on waiting lists to enter public technical schools in Kansas today. The tedious wait is because of the small facilities that allow for only a limited number of students to attend each year. The logical solution would be to build more classrooms or look to existing educational facilities, which are underutilized.
John Lind, director of the Kansas City.
Programs provide valuable training, deserve more funding
Kansas, Area Technical School and president of the Kansas Association of Technical Schools, fears that an important reason for the underfunding is because of the stereotypes of students who attend technical schools and the belief that the education they receive is of lower quality than that of a four-year school.
On the contrary, a majority of students attending high-tech programs are postsecondary students, meaning they previously have attended a college. Some have attended four-year colleges only to attend a technical school to master the skills for new, higher-paying jobs.
Technical schools no longer should be looked upon as an easier, or just more affordable, source of education. These schools are responsible for the education and training of the next generation who will make up a large part of the world's work force. There is a high demand to improve these facilities and give students a chance to accomplish something unique and worthwhile.
Federal and state governments, which are so intimately involved in higher education in this country, need to be more responsive to educational trends and professional training needs. Increased funding or redirection of existing resources to technical education would be a good way to encourage and support the work force we will need in the next century.

Muddy feet and weaving bring home ethnobotany
Higinia González Maroto followed the muddy path to her house, umbrella in hand, the red clay sticking to her bare feet. "It's easier than cleaning your shoes all the time," she said, smiling. I looked at my own spattered shoes and thought the mud would feel good oozing around my feet.
Perspective
Higinia's home is on the Boruca Indian Reservation, tucked into the mountains of southwest Costa Rica. I was paired with her for breakfast shortly after arriving for a day-long visit with my ethobotany class. The scrambled eggs, rice, beans, coffee, fresh-squeezed orange juice and a hot corn-and-milk drink she placed in front of me were more than I expected.
Merkel-Hess columnist
oinion@karan.com
"It's all from here," she said. "No chemicals."
Higinia's house was simple
— concrete walls and floor, tin roof and four rooms. The dining/living room I was sitting in had a sewing machine, small TV, a picture of Jesus, a few school ribbons from her children and in the background, a radio playing soft rock — "Lady in Red." "Tears in Heaven" and "Yesterday." While eating, I watched a soccer game on TV with her husband, a man wearing a forest green Nike can.
After breakfast we returned to the Museo, a traditional Boruca building with wooden walls and a roof of thatched grass. Spread on tables and walls were crafts for sale including woven bags, hats, balsa wood masks, carved gourd shells, bow-and-arrow sets and drums.
Throughout the morning we learned about the labor-intensive weaving process — spinning organic cotton line by hand, natural plant and mineral dyes, and then weaving the simple, durable cloth. We were also told about the struggle the small community of 1,500 is facing. Deforestation of these Costa Ricans' land has led them to go farther afield to find plants for their natural tints or balsa to carve masks. Often, this involves paying private landowners for the materials, which is hard in this cash-strapped community where 95 percent of the money entering the reservation comes from the sale of these crafts. And in the marketplace, they compete with synthetic, industrially produced Guatemalan wares.
Besides the obvious ethnobotanic link between plants and crafts, our experience illustrated the problems of human impact on the land. The hunger for tropical hardwoods destroyed the Boruca forests and many more like it. Now we also face not just the loss of biodiversity, but traditional ways of life that depend on the forest. What appears valueless or obsolete today may be vital in the future. Who knows when we may need these plant species or ancient skills from the jungle.
After the talk and weaving demonstration, we looked over what was for sale and made our purchases. Afterward, I returned to Hignia's house for lunch, another locally grown, tasty meal. As I ate, I looked over the small village shrouded in fog. Houses were surrounded by useful plants — bananas, oranges, plantains. Confident and playful children roamed around, stopping to look us over and inspect our cameras and backpacks.
Ethnobotany, the study of the relationship between humans and plants, was brought to life at Boruca. This type of hands-on experience is the norm rather than the exception in the University of Kansas' Tropical Studies Program. For ornithology, our bird-watching laboratory is just about everywhere in this species-rich country
Later, as I said goodbye to Higinia and Boruca, I asked myself what I had with my fast food, suburban assault vehicle and hormone-injected culture that could offer them a better way of life.
Kansan far from perfect, but staff doing its best
Given the chance, I, too, would forsake my "modern" culture and sink my toes into the mud.
I hear a lot about The University Daily Kansan, not all of it good. People come up to me on a daily basis to talk about it, in fact. I seem to be sort of the public representative of the paper — not because of any special skill or position, mind you, but because I've got a funky hat that's easy for people to recognize.
Merkel-Hess is an Iowa City, Iowa, junior in environmental studies. He is studying abroad in Golfito, Costa Rica.
Usually it's just a, "Hey, I liked your column," which feeds my already bloated ego and makes me insufferably arrogant for the rest of the day. But, less often, people express their opinion about what an utter waste of dead tree and squid spit that stupid Kansan thing is.
I usually smile, ask why and then give a rebuttal as best I can. And because the problem they have is almost always the same one, I've gotten pretty good at answering it. I've even changed a few minds, which, let me tell you, is no mean trick in this hat.
Last Wednesday, however,
we had a different sort of criticism.
A columnist, one of our own,
attacked the paper with
the same arguments I've grown accustomed to hearing on Jayhawk Boulevard. It ran in the opinion page beside three letters of protest about a feature story.
It is the policy of the Kansan not to respond to criticism. Well and good. But I feel a need to address the issues raised, simply because so many of those critical of the paper use the same reason for
There are several reasons.

The charge: Why does the Kansan ignore important world events in favor of boring University policy coverage that puts people to sleep faster than a bad economics lecture?
their scorn. They and the rest of our readers are at least entitled to an explanation, which they may either accept or wrap fish in, depending on how they take it.
First, we don't ignore them. I picked up four back issues at random. Of the A section, about two-fifths were devoted to wire service articles about world and national happenings. That's a pretty sizable chunk of the paper.
Second, we are the campus paper. You can read about East Timor in the New York Times, USA Today, Kansas City Star and Lawrence University.
If it happens on campus, chances are we're it. If we don't cover it, it won't get covered. Our job is to make sure it gets reported, because otherwise you'll never get a chance to read about it. You have literally hundreds of places to go for world news, but the Kansan is really your only source of coverage for the thing that probably affects you the most right now — the University of Kansas.
But let's assume that all of the above is of no importance, that world news is still the way to go. How can we cover it? Kansan reporters are students. They have 8:30 chemistry classes, just like you. They don't have the time to hop a plane to East Timor, and they certainly don't have the money. Covering the world while rarely leaving campus would result in mediocre stories, unconfirmed speculation and reheated wire briefs. The final answer, though, is one you might not like.
Do you need the level of coverage we provide? Not all the time. But a story that may seem like dull facts or no news fluff to you can be important to someone else. That boring article about the Regents meeting isn't so dull to people who just had a program they depended on cut. An easily ignored "fluff" piece about the 10th floor of McCollum Hall is proudly hanging next to the elevators, a handmade sign calling attention to it. These are the stories that people cut out and send home to their mothers, their names circled in ballpoint pen, for her to put up on the fridge.
World. You can get all of those on campus. If you're short on change, you can do what I do, and read the online versions. But guess what? The Times isn't going to cover the Athletic Center debate, and neither will any of the others.
A good newspaper does not change its content to meet public opinion — not when the editors and staff honestly feel that it isn't warranted. The Kansan is here to print the news, not to please students or columnists.
The Kansan is largely self-funded. Revenue comes mainly from advertisers. It is a newspaper put out by journalists at the beginning of their careers.
It's not your decision
It is a paper that strives to serve you, the truth and the ideals of good journalism. Sometimes it fails. Be charitable. Like you, we are learning our trade.
I'm proud to write and work for it.

Feedback
Adding bleachers a poor PR move
I was just back at KU for homecoming and saw the new renovations to the stadium. I was amazed at how empty the stadium was and incredibly disappointed how empty the Hill was.
Granted, the weather was bad, the competition not so great and the Jayhawks not having their greatest lineup, but why were there so few people at the stadium?
-
In probably the worst PR move the University has ever done, the University has killed the Hill by constructing those temporary metal bleachers and poorly detailed metal score board.
Did the University really need the additional seating provided by those unsightly, temporary metal bleachers? Judging by the fact that less than 40 percent of the stadium was full during homecoming weekend, I would think not.

By constructing those temporary bleachers, the University has banished the fan who stopped by to see who was in Lawrence, the fan who doesn't want to pay $300,000 for a liquor suite, the fan who doesn't need to
The views from the hill were not great, but the comradierie was. Even with the construction of the new 60-foot unarticulated, scoreboard with its butt-side facing one of the most beautiful spaces on campus — the Hill, removing those metal bleachers might bring the Hill alive again.

Finnish architect to kickoff series
Speaker to share design criticisms with KU students
By Amanda Kaschube
By Amanda Kaschub
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Students in the school of architecture can hear a new voice this week.
Starting today, students will have the chance to listen to and ask questions to Juhani Pallasmaa, professor of architecture from Helsinki, Finland. Pallasmaa is the first lecturer in the J.L. Constant Distinguished Professor Lecture Series. The lectures are free.
Stephen Grabow, architecture professor, said the school hoped to have one visiting lecturer a semester.
"We can really bring interesting people in, especially from overseas," Grabow said. "We were unable to have a high-profile lecture series before the endowment money."
J. L. Constant, a graduate of
students will listen."
Stephen Grabow
architecture professor
KU's architecture school, donated the money for the series. He died two years ago.
Grabow said Pallasmaa's lecture series would be good for the school and students.
"You can talk to students until they're blue in the face," he said. "It's different when a professor comes 6,000 miles — students will listen."
Pallasmaa has been a visiting professor at several other universities, including Yale University in 1993.
Grabow said Pallasmaa was special because he was both a professor and a critic of architecture. He recently has been featured in several architecture magazines for his criticisms of modern architecture.
Grabow said those who attend Pallasmaa's lecture would hear
several of his criticisms, including his thoughts on the flatness of modern architecture and the trend to recreate the past.
"They will get a sober dose of criticisms of architecture fashioning." Grabow said. "Architecture fashions have spread through schools like a rash. It's difficult for students to understand the timelessness of architecture."
Grabow said he encouraged students to go to the lectures because Pallasmaa's theories appealed to a variety of people.
"When we created the endowed lecture series, we wanted to bring in people that would be difficult to bring in because we had the means to," he said. "Pallasmaa's writings seem to cover a wide spectrum."
Andrew Wagner, Jackson, Mo., junior, said he planned to attend at least one of the events.
"I've heard impressive things about him," he said. "He's an important architect."
Pallasmaa recently was honored for his outstanding record as an educator and critic with the 1999 Jean Tschumi Prize for Architectural Criticism by the

Latin KJHK show is 'Suavemente'
By J.R. Mendoza Special to the Kansan
Inside the confines of the 90.7 KJHK studios, La Chula and La Estrella spin some suave beats from Selena, DLG, La Mafia and Elvis Crespo.
Although those performers may not be household names, the campus radio audience is becoming familiar with their sounds of salsa, Tejano and meringue thanks to "Suavemente," a new radio program on KJHK.
The idea for the show, which plays all types of Latin music and airs 11 p.m. to midnight every Tuesday, started out as a joke last spring between Belinda Hinojos, a.k.a. La Chula, and Micaela Rosales, a.k.a. La Estrella.
"We were on a road trip, and we started thinking how cool it would be to have our own show and play that type of music," said Hinojos, Kansas City, Kan., junior.
Rosales, Olathe junior, worked for the radio station on promotions and heard that the radio station was taking applications for special programs.
The station had a lot of different music programs
already, Rosales said, and she and Hinojos said they wanted one that played Latin music. They decided to apply on the way back from the road trip.
"We picked 'Suavemente' because the name sounded good," Hinojos said. The name means "really cool."
The application process included why they wanted to do the show and why it would benefit the KU-Lawrence community. The duo also submitted a five-minute demo tape complete with music and their voices.
The show appealed to Elena Abatgis, KJHK program director and Lawrence senior.
"We wanted someone who was knowledgeable about the music they play," Abatigis said. "They had an interesting idea, were very knowledgeable and had good voices on tape."
Patrick Giroux, KJHK music director and Wichita senior, said their idea appealed to him.
"The bilingual part was interesting, and they mentioned bringing in certain aspects of the Latin-American community." Giroux said. "It was definitely different."
When they found out their
"We want KU and Lawrence to hear something they've never heard before."
Belinda Hinojos
Kansas City, Kan., junior
show would be put on the air for the summer and fall, Hinojos said she and Rosales were excited.
"We started screaming," Hinojos said. "We wanted to do it but never thought we'd actually do it."
There is no set format to the show. On a typical show, they play anything from Spanish rock and rap to mambo.
"We wanted it more focused on Mexican music, but we do different things every show," Hinojos said. "We've even played poetry written by Chicano poets."
Rosales said they went by their aliases — La Chula and La Estrella — which meant the cute one and the star respectively, because they thought it would be fun.
"The names also kind of convey our personalities."
The program has been picking up listeners.
Rosales said.
"People are calling in more and request songs and ask about us," Hinojos said. "Before, it was like 'who's out there listening?'"
Hinojos admitted they were both really nervous in the beginning.
"We got a lot better," she said. "We're more relaxed now."
The show has its own slogan: "La musica es la cultura, pero la cultura es la gente," which means "The music is the culture, but the culture is the people."
Although Erica Butler, Wichita sophomore, said she liked to listen to R&B she has listened to some Latin music before and thought it was great a program such as "Suuavemente" was on the air.
"Latin music is really good, and I like it." Butler said.
Rosales said they wanted a program to give Latinos a voice.
Hinojos said, "We want KU and Lawrence to hear something they've never heard before."

Storm brings devastation and flooding to Mexico
The Associated Press
TEZIUTLAN, Mexico—It did not even have a name, but the storm has been called Mexico's worst disaster of the decade. Its winds never reached tropical-storm speed, between 39 and 73 mph, which would have earned it more than a number.
But Tropical Depression No. 11 was deadlier than any hurricane in the region this year.
So far, officials have confirmed 342 deaths, and they expect that number to rise.
President Ernesto Zedillo canceled a trip to Spain and Germany this week to focus his attention on aid efforts.
The full scale of the disaster only slowly is becoming apparent. A series of weather fronts, capped by the tropical depression in the Gulf of Mexico, has dumped heavy rain on much of eastern, southern and central Mexico for a week or more. In much of the region, it continues to rain.
Washed-out bridges and roads isolated hundreds of communities. Landslides destroyed or damaged houses in dozens of towns and villages. Floodwaters carried away people.
Even large cities, such as Villahermosa, were so gravely flooded that streets became canals for boats ferrying furniture from inundated houses.
In Tenango, 100 miles northeast of Mexico City, a foot-wide crack appeared in the face of a turn-of-the-century, U.S.-built dam, which towers 70 feet above the town.
Teams continued work yesterday to bolster the dam with gravel and rock mixed with lime.
Authorities, meanwhile, said the danger had passed, and the 3,000 people evacuated from the area could return to their homes soon, Assistant Mayor Roberto Salas Vasquez said by telephone.
In Teziutlan, where the largest number of deaths have been recorded, rain fell for 60 hours without a break — 30 inches in all.
The rain forced closure of schools and most of the 480 clothing factories.
The residents of La Aurora, a poor neighborhood built under a cliff-side cemetery, were huddled at home when a mudslide rolled over their houses.
On Sunday, hundreds of soldiers, policeemen, firefighters and body-detecting dogs were still slopping through mud made even more sodden by more heavy rain. They scraped away mud from toppled concrete walls, then attacked the walls with clanging picks and sledgehammers until the smell told them they were close to another victim.
At the town's cathedral, the regional bishop, Monsignor Lorenzo Cardenas Aegullin, led a Mass for the victims and read a message of condolence from Pope John Paul II.
Residents outside complained that government help had been late. When neighbors were pulling bodies from the muck early last week, they said, radio stations were reporting that there were no apparent problems in the region. The military didn't arrive until Thursday afternoon.
Many have urged Zedillo to call for foreign aid, but the president has said Mexicans can do it all alone.
Troops blame militants after clash in Timor
The Associated Press
DILI, East Timor—International peacekeepers yesterday blamed anti-independence militants for provoking the blood-shed on the East Timor border that has heightened tensions between the foreign forces and the Indonesian military.
The peacekeepers denied the Indonesian army's claim that a squad of Australian troops killed one Indonesian policeman and wounded four on Sunday and that the clash took place in Indonesian-controlled West Timor.
If Indonesian police had been directly involved, it would have been the first clash between international troops and Indonesian forces since the deployment of the foreign peacekeepers to East Timor on Sept. 20.
Indonesian military, police and government officials yesterday repeated accusations that the Australian-led force was using brutality and illegally entering Indonesian territory.
In Dili, East Timor's capital, Australian Col. Mark Kelly, the chief of staff of the international forces, maintained that about 40 Australian soldiers were fired on by the militia force on Sunday. They shot back, wounding two militiamen. There were no deaths, and no Australians were wounded, he said.

Chechen leader offers peace plan
Fighting continues following terrorist bombings in Russia
The Associated Press
GROZNY, Russia— Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said yesterday that Chechnya needs to give up suspected terrorists before there can be any talks on ending the fighting in the rebel republic.
Chechnya's President Aslan Maskhadov offered a peace plan Sunday, and said he would crack down on renegade warlords if Russia pulled troops from Chechen territory.
Chechen militants operating beyond Maskhadov's control invaded the neighboring region of Dagestan in August and were suspected in a wave of apartment bombings in Russia last month. The violence prompted Russia to send troops into Chechnya two weeks ago.
RUSSIA
"I view Maskhadov's plan in a positive light, but I would change the priorities," Putin said. "First, the terrorists guilty of attacking

peaceful villages in Dagestan and bombing attacks on apartment houses must be extradited. Give us the men whose hands and arms are stained with blood, and we will be prepared for full-scale talks."
Russian and Chechen forces clashed this past weekend along the Terek River, which cuts across the northern third of Chechnya and has effectively become the front line.
The Chechens said they inflicted heavy casualties and now hold the villages of Cervlyonnaya and Chervlyonnaya-Uzlovaya on the
north side of the river, just 15 miles from the Chechen capital Grozny
“It’s a small victory, but it gives us self-confidence,” Chechen commander Said-Magomed Chunbulavev said.
In his peace proposal, Maskhadov called for Russia to end all combat actions immediately and said the two sides should observe the basic principles outlined in a 1997 peace accord signed following the 1994-96 war. The peace accord gave Chechnya effective independence.
He proposed deploying peacekeepers in the Caucasus Mountain region of southern Russia to prevent further raids, with Chechen soldiers taking part in the contingent. However, the plan did not specify whether forces from Russia would be allowed to patrol inside Chechnya.
Maskhadov, a former Soviet army colonel, is considered a moderate and has stressed the need for economic relations with Russia, while insisting that Chechnya must be independent.
Chechen militants have denounced him for being too willing to cooperate with Russia, and in turn, the Russians have criticized him for not bringing the militants under control.
Officials in Israel confirm exodus of hundreds of Jews from Cuba
The Associated Press
ASHKELON, Israel — Israel's latest secret immigrants made a complex exodus from Cuba that involved at least three foreign countries and help from the Jewish granddaughter of Emiliano Zapata, the legendary Mexican revolutionary.
Israel confirmed yesterday the 400 Cuban Jews were brought to Israel in the past five years in a secret operation that had the blessing of Cuban leader Fidel Castro.
Israel's military censor lifted a ban yesterday on reporting on their arrival.
Cuban immigrants interviewed at a center in the southern coastal town of Ashkelon said the operation was common knowledge in Cuba.
Everyone in Cuba knew the Jews were coming to Israel, said Alexei Colon Mizrachi, 23, who now lives at the center with his twin brother and father.
A spokesman for the small Jewish community in Cuba angrily denied any secret operation, saying some Cuban Jews had left for Israel, but not in high numbers and not as part of a secret pact.
"That is absolutely false," said Jose Miller, president of the Jewish Community House of Cuba. "In Cuba, there is a general immigration movement to many countries, but there has been no agreement to take members of our Hebrew community to Israel."
Yesterday's revelation allowed the media to broadcast a host of previously censored reports.
including a 1996 Israel radio interview with Margarita Zapata, Emilio Zapata's granddaughter and a revolutionary comrade of Castro.
Two former Cubans who emigrated to Israel shortly after Castro's rise initiated contact with Zapata when she toured Israel in the early 1990s as a guest of the left-of-center Meretz party.
David Roth and Monica Pollack, members of Kibbutz Gazit, a Meretz-affiliated communal farm, handed Zapata a list of Cuban Jews they knew wanted to come to Israel.
Zapata, whose maternal grandmother was a Polish Jewish refugee, took the list to Castro, with whom she had worked closely in the 1950s when he was a guerrilla leader.
The immigrants left Cuba with visas provided by countries sympathetic to their desire to come to Israel — France, Canada and Spain.
Israel and Cuba do not have diplomatic ties, but Castro is known to want to improve Cuba's image abroad and encourage Washington to consider lifting the nearly 40-year-old economic embargo that has hurt Cuba's economy.
The immigrants said they enjoyed life in the relaxed beach town that is their temporary home, but they longed for work so they could move away and support themselves.
Alexei Colon Mizrahi said he would never leave Israel, but would love to return to Cuba for a visit. "I miss baseball," he said. "And Fidel."
New NATO leader wants to increase European defenses
The Associated Press
LONDON— Strengthening European security forces and increasing the number of troops available for deployment will be one of NATO's top priorities, the alliance's incoming leader said yesterday.
George Robertson, who will become secretary-general this week, said the alliance was stretched to the limit after deploying 40,000 troops in Kosovo.
"Critical shortages of employable, rapidly available troops have got to be ironed out," he said.
Robertson said he also would look at improving Europe's sea transport to improve NATO's ability to access trouble spots.
"The Europeans spend two-thirds of what the Americans spend, but we don't get anything like that in terms of capabilities," Robertson said. "That's because we duplicate, because we compete and, in many ways, we are still spending on the defense needs of the Cold War rather than the defense we're going to face tomorrow."
Robertson stressed that the strengthened European defense force would remain within NATO, not become a rival to it.
"There are some people in the United States who believe that the European defense initiative is about decoupling of NATO, the Europeans building a capability that is duplicating and may eventually split away from NATO," he said. "They're wrong, and part of my job is going to be to reassure them that's not on the agenda."
Robertson, S3, currently Britain's defense secretary, is scheduled to take the NATO helm Thursday. He will replace Javier Solana, a former Spanish foreign minister who is ending his four-year term a few months early to take up the new European Union post of foreign policy coordinator.
Robertson said he expected Russia's deployment of troops into Chechnya two weeks ago to be discussed at the Oct. 22 EU-Russian summit in Helsinki, Finland, but would not comment directly on the situation. Russian troops now control the northern third of the breakaway republic.
"Clearly the violence in the northern Caucasus are of concern to the Russians, are of concern to anyone in the region," Robertson said.
As for Kosovo, Robertson said no deadline for withdrawing troops had been set.
"It's going to take a long time. Stability in the Balkans demands it," he said.

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 7.
For most of this day, you'll need to watch your money. Watch what you're saying, too. Soon it'll be easier to do just about everything. If you're having trouble getting the information you want, don't worry. You'll do best if you stick with the familiar.
Taurus: Today is an 8.
Gemini: Today is a 5.
You've had long enough to consider your next move; now you need to make it. This could pertain to work, something about your home or even to your relationship. Discuss the situation with your partner and finally reach a compromise. Yes, it is possible.
Work hard, pay attention and don't say much. Be practical and hardworking. Tell your crazy friends to keep out of sight, at least until after work. Don't talk bad about people behind their backs, either. The odds of them finding out are huge.
Cancer: Today is an 8.
Today you should feel relaxed and somewhat romantic — cuddly. It should be a gorgeous evening for entertaining. You don't need to go to a fancy place to show your love. You can do it very nicely with a home-cooked meal.
Leo: Today is a 6.
Move slowly today even if you don't feel like it.
Pay attention to what other people want even if they don't tell you with words. Others' input is important now.
You can frolic after an important matter is set-tled.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
You're probably thinking quickly, and that's good. Get rid of all the stuff that slows you down. Don't hold onto outdated ideas. You've discovered that things aren't the way you thought they were, and it's time to adapt — completely.
Libra: Today is a 5.
Scorpio: Today is an 8.
Be cautious about money. You hate cutting coupons usually, but today it might be a good idea Turn in those aluminum cans. Every little bit helps, especially now. Figure out what your big money's doing, too. Pay off a debt, and you'll save a bundle.
Sagittarius: Today is a 6.
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
Don't dilly daily. Get into the job, and make sure it's done right. You don't have to get bossy. Just empower the others to do whatever needs to be done. You have a great opportunity now, so make the most of it.
You'll get more energy as the day goes on. Tomorrow will be much easier. Don't jump the gun, however. If you encounter a good listener who asks leading questions, be wary. Get back to this person after you find out what he or she really wants.
Aquarius: Today is a 5.
LION
It's time for your group to make a decision. This could be fun, but you need to work out the details first. Schedule your excursion for the sun's transit through Scorpio or Capricorn. If you start planning now, by then it'll be like falling off a log.
Pisces: Today is an 8.
You may feel like you're being squashed. Every door is locked; every path is blocked. Instead of bashing your head any further, stop. Go back to the drawing board. Tomorrow it's going to be much easier.
Contact a foreigner as soon as possible. By tomorrow, it may be too late. This could be fun, but if you don't hurry, the opportunity may be lost. By the time others ask for your time, have some of it booked for yourself.

LIFE & LABOR SERVICE
It appears that the Kansas basketball program may be close to losing one of its big three recruits this off season, as 6-foot-11 center Jared Reiner of Tripp, S.D., is rumored to be close to signing with the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Big 12 recruit may sign with Iowa Hawkeyes
KANSAS BASKETBALL
According to recruiting analyst Bob Gibbons' Web site, Reiner, who has been considering Iowa throughout, revisited the Hawkeyes this past weekend. He had originally planned to wait until the spring signing period but changed his mind and will sign in November because of his desire to focus on his upcoming senior season of high school basketball.
However, he still plans to visit Kansas along with Utah and Connecticut late in October.
Kansas' other two recruits, 6-5 guard DeShawn Stevenson and 6-8 forward Travon Bryant, will be in town Friday night for the annual Late Night with Roy Williams. Both have said they will wait until the spring to sign, but Bryant recently has told Mike Sullivan of Insiders Report that the chances are 50-50 that he will sign in the early November period.

Jessica Kibbe, Lawrence junior and club president, said that the new players on the team adjusted well and played a really good game.
The Jayhawks jumped out to an early 4-0 lead and never looked back. Kibbe said that everyone had improved since last year and that made the spring season promising
"The new people have learned the game quickly and helped out a lot," she said.

First court appearance for Heisman candidate

Warrick, a leading candidate for the Heisman Trophy before his arrest, and Coles are accused of paying $21.40 for $412.38 worth of clothes with the help of a department store clerk.
They turned themselves in to police Friday after being charged with felony theft.
Coles, 21, was kicked off the team because he had been on probation for earlier academic and legal troubles.
Warrick, 22, was suspended from the team and was on the sidelines during Florida State's 31-21 win against Miami on Saturday. Under university policy, he would be able to return to the team once he takes care of his legal obligations in the case.
The first court hearing was Monday, but neither player was required to attend and neither did. The innocent pleas were entered into the files as a matter of routine.

Now led by Kurt Warner, who has 14 touchdown passes in the first four games, the Rams have improved from 27th in total offense last year to third.

row. The coxswain's job is to coach the rowers in the boat and help them with any problems that may arise.
Masonbrink, a coxswain, said that while her job was to get the rowers motivated, sometimes they can get frustrated at orders being barked at them.
"We sometimes annoy the rowers when we get on their case," she said. "But we're not trying to get them mad, just pumped up. We don't want to offend them."
Masonbrink said that she started rowing when she was in high school and got hooked on it. She said that it helped having rowing experience to be a good coxswain because she knew the ins and outs of being in a boat.
"If you know what you are talking about, then the rowers can respect you," she said. "It's worth the pressure."
This weekend the Jayhawk crew team competed in two regattas: Saturday in Davenport, Iowa, and Sunday in Rockford, Ill. Melanie Moore, Morrison, Colo., senior, said that the two regattas tested the endurance of the crew members because they competed in about six races apiece.
"Everyone did well," she said. "I

think every team member walked away with at least two medals. Everyone felt like they had improved."
"There's potential to send some boats that will compete seriously," he said.
O'Rourke said he had been a part of crew for three years and was hooked on it. He said he didn't think about crew until a team member told him he should check it out.
"He told me I was tall and would be good at it," he said. "I gave it a try, and now I love it."
O'Rourke said that being tall was a benefit to be a good rower because of the longer stroke it provided the oar in the water. However, he also said that while being tall was an advantage to being a rower, but not a necessity.

who could smoke me in the water," he said. "There's lots of technique involved. You don't really just get in the boat the first day and be great at it."
Masonbrink said that another reason she loved crew was because of the relationships she had developed since joining the team.
"It takes so much teamwork that it really pulls everyone close," she said.
O'Rourke said that people shouldn't feel like they might be too small to participate in crew.
"Nobody is too small or too big," he said. "It's a great thing to get involved in. There's nothing but opportunities."

Injured players hoping to return on Saturday

The season may be falling apart, but the Jayhawks are on the mend.
Kansas lost its fourth game of the season last Saturday and has lost all four by an average of 35 points. A 50-9 loss to Kansas State was the Jayhawks' largest margin of defeat this year, but it didn't happen without a reason.
The list of those injured was seven players long against KState, mostly skill position players. Missing those players hurt Kansas against the Wildcats, but coach Terry Allen is hopeful that most of them will be able to play Saturday against Texas A&M.
"We're looking better with injuries," Allen said yesterday during the Big 12 Conference coaches teleconference.
Running backs David Winbush, who leads the Jayhawks with 274 yards rushing, and Henri Childs, who is second on the team in all-purpose yards, are expected to return against Texas A&M. Childs has been slowed by a bruised toe, while Winbush is recovering from a sprained right knee and ankle.
"I'll be back for A&M for sure." Winbush said last week
sure. Winston said last week.
Tight end Jason Gulley had arthroscopic surgery on his knee three weeks ago, but the swelling in his leg hasn't gone down sufficiently for medical clearance. He will make the trip to Texas A&M, however, and will most likely play.
Among the wide receivers, it's certain that Eric Patterson will play Saturday, but speedy receivers Termaine Fulton and Byron Gasaway are doubtful.
Gasaway broke his jaw during the preseason when he dropped 200 pounds of free weights on it. Last week Allen said that Gasaway might redshift this season if he couldn't play against K-State. He hasn't decided whether to redshift
and it's unlikely he'll play Saturday.
Fulton's injury is more frustrating.
After two games, Fulton led the Jayhawks in receptions, but he hasn't played since he suffered a high right ankle sprain against Cal State Northridge. His injury has kept him out for the last four games, and Allen said yesterday that Fulton also might redshift this season.
"That's a possibility," Allen said. "We'll see if we can get him back this week."
Without Fulton or Gasaway, the 'Hawks are thin at wide receiver. Michael Chandler and Harrison Hill have filled that role as best they could, but Kansas could use more depth during games. Chandler and Hill are pleased about the extra playing time, but are getting worn out.
"Playing that much is a welcome change, but man, I'm tired," Chandler said.

Morning practices get rowers out of bed

Leah Masonbrink gets out of bed at six in the morning, and she likes it that way.
"I love being out on the water in the mornings," she said. "It's so awesome to get out and have a good practice."
Masonbrink, Fairway sophomore, is a member of Kansas' club crew team. The team usually practices early in the morning, and while getting up at 6 a.m. isn't always the most popular thing in the world, Masonbrink doesn't mind.
Masonbrink is one of the nearly 60 members of the Jayhawk crew team. Crew has been at Kansas since 1977 and is continuing to grow, said Kevin O'Rourke, Frontenac senior and third-year team member. He said that he thought people were attracted to crew because it keeps them in great shape.
MOTORCYCLE
"It's definitely growing throughout the country," he said. "There are a lot of community programs getting started that are bringing crew more into the mainstream."
O'Rourke said that the Jayhawk crew team participates in regattas around the country, usually entering boats of four rowers and eight rowers. Each boat also contains a coxswain, or a person who sits at the front of the boat but doesn't row.
The Kansas crew team practices on the Kaw River on Monday. The team sent a boat to Nationals last year and expects to send more this year. Photo by Aaron Lindberg/KANSAN

Reves named conference Player of the Week
Middle blocker thanks team for opportunity to win coveted honor
By Melinda Weaver
sports@kansan.com
Kansas writerwriter
a burst of cheers and applause erupted from the Kansas volleyball squad as coach Ray Bechard spoke during practice yesterday.
He announced that senior middle blocker Amanda Reves had been named Big 12 Conference Player of the Week for Oct. 4-10 — the second time in two years that she had earned the honor.
"In my history as a coach, what I
have seen is that the Big 12 Player of the Week goes to someone who has played well on a team that wins both of its games during the week," Bechard said. "I was congratulating the team for having someone selected. We play for the team first, and individual honors come from that."
Last week, Reves averaged nearly five kills, more than two digs and a block per game while leading the Jayhawks to a 3-1 win against Oklahoma on Wednesday and a 3-0 win versus Baylor Saturday.
Despite her excellent play last week,
Reves remained humble about her

award.
"It's a very special honor, especially considering all the good players in the Big 12. "Reves said. "This is entirely to the team. It takes two wins to even be qualified for the award, so I wouldn't have gotten it if we hadn't won. It is our group effort that wins us matches."
Revets' effort this season has been a major factor in the
Amanda Reves: Led volleyball team in two wins last week
improved play of the Jayhawks.
Kansas' four conference wins this season are close to the Jayhawks'
record for most conference wins in a season. The 1991 team holds the record with six wins.
"Every match is special for the seniors because we have had very few Big 12 wins in the past," Reves said. "This season is the first time we have beaten several Big 12 teams."
Saturday's win against Baylor was the Jayhawks' first win against the Bears since 1985, when Kansas was in the Big 8 and Baylor was in the Southwest Conference.
Kansas' next Big 12 match up will be 7 p.m. Wednesday when the team will travel to Manhattan to play No.13 Kansas State.

Bizarre season in NFL has been exciting for fans
Welcome to the Bizarro NFL.
The evidence is both gruesome and remarkable.
The teams look normal, but something isn't quite right. It's as though during the off-season some mad NFL scientist attempted a cloning experiment that misfired, horribly disfiguring the genetic makeup of the league.
Last year, the Broncos, Falcons and Vikings put together dominating seasons unheard of in league history. During the regular season they lost a combined five games. This year they already have more than doubled that number, and each team is in the cellar of its respective division.
The Broncos' fall,
though astonishing, is somewhat understandable given John Elway's retirement. The Falcons and Vikings, however, were expected to once again be the class of the NFC. What happened?
Round up the usual suspects — injuries and adjustments.
---
The Falcons were walking on eggshells last year with often.
Derek Prater
sports columnist
sports@kansan.com
injured quarterback Chris Chandler. With some spit and snot, Chandler held together long enough to lead the Falcons to the Super Bowl. This year, however, he's already missing games.
More importantly, so is workhorse running back Jamal Anderson. No passing game plus no running game equals no return to the plavoffs.
The Vikings aren't missing any of the weapons that made them the most prolific offense in NFL history last year. What they are missing is the element of surprise. Teams around the league took notice of the Falcons' strategy that stalled the Vikings in the NFC title game last year. They are taking away the deep pass to Randy Moss and making the Vikings move down the field methodically. Randall Cunningham may have found God, but patience is a virtue for which he is still searching.
The strangeness of this season actually started even before preseason camp, when Barry Sanders indirectly said he would retire before playing with the hapless Lions. Sanders was just a ho-hum (for him) season away from breaking Walter Payton's all-time rushing record. Stranger still, the Lions have played better without Barry than they did last year with him.
The rest of last year's best individual success stories have had sequels cancelled by injuries.
Just look at the running back trilogy. Last year — Terrel Davis rushed for 2,008 yards and 21 touchdowns; Jamal Anderson rushed for 1,846 yards and 16 touchdowns; Jacksonville rookie Fred Taylor rushed for 1,223 yards and scored 17 touchdowns. This year Davis and Anderson are out for the year because of injuries, and Taylor — although not out for the year — is missing games because of a hamstring injury.
Just because the Bizzaro NFL is strange and different doesn't mean that it's not fun anymore.
What is the best thing about the Bizarro NFL? The St. Louis Rams.
Coming off nine straight losing seasons, the Rams are the only undefeated team left and are putting up points as though they're playing in the Arena Football League. That may be because quarterback Kurt Warner spent three years there before coming to the big show and dominating.
Warner has thrown 14 touchdown passes in his first four games. Last year, the Rams had 12 touchdown passes all season.
The Rams have overpowered the Falcons and the 49ers, both playoff teams last year, and have outscored opponents 142-47.
Despite the Rams' early success, they won't be the Bizarro NFL champions. The strange mutation will fade during the playoffs, and superman Brett Favre will lead the Packers to a Super Bowl victory against the Jaguars.

REMEMBERING WILT
Friends react to legend's death
By Chris Wristen
sports @kansan.com
Kansan sportwriter
Sadness fell across the hearts of Jayhawks past and present yesterday after the loss of a legend. Former Kansas and NBA basketball star Wilt Chamberlin died of an apparent heart attack yesterday at the age of 63 at his home in Bel Air, Calif
The Kansas community was shocked by the death of Chamberlain, a man who revolutionized the game of basketball and changed an entire city along the way. He stood tall on the court, 7-foot-1, as well as in the community where he served as an advocate for change. One of the reasons why Chamberlain chose to attend Kansas was because of the steps it had taken toward integration.
"Here in Lawrence — we weren't in the deep South by any means — it wasn't exactly the best place for Black people to play," said Jerry Waugh, assistant basketball coach from 1965-69. "Kansas in the Midwest was one of the first schools to recognize the Black athlete and make every effort to integrate. We just did our best to take care of all of our athletes, some just happened to be Black."
Chamberlain made the most of his time in the University community, and his presence helped integrate the city and change peoples' views. He helped integrate restaurants and other local establishments while making the Black public presence more accepted.
The loss of Chamberlain hit home with many in the community, former teammates and current Jayhawks alike.
Upon receiving the news of his death, many took time to reflect on the man who was arguably the best to ever play the game of basketball
"I think he's the greatest basketball player of all time and his record and statistics would tend to prove that," said Bob Billings, a teammate of Chamberlain in 1957-58. "Bill Russell has no

No.13 leaves legacy of basketball excellence

Kansan sportswriter
Wilton Norman Chamberlain, perhaps the most dominant basketball player ever to lace up a pair of sneakers, died shortly after 2 p.m. yesterday at his home in Belfair, Calif. He was 63.
A fire department representative in Bel-Air, Jim Wells, told reporters at the house that there were signs that Chamberlain may have suffered a heart attack.
Chamberlain's list of accomplishments is unparalleled by any other basketball player — he not only dominated the era he played in, but he also changed it.
Kansas, Jerry Waugh. "There's no telling how great he could have been with the training the basketball players receive today."
During his NBA career, which spanned from 1890 to 1973, the 7-foot-1 center, known as "Wilt the Stilt," scored 31,419 points, an NBA record until 1984, and grabbed a record 23,924 rebounds while playing for three NBA teams — the Philadelphia and San Francisco Warriors, the Philadelphia 76ers and the Los Angeles Lakers. Chamberlain won two championships and four Most Valuable Player awards and led the league in scoring for seven straight seasons and in rebounding for 11 seasons.
victory against Northwestern. Chamberlain earned two varsity letters at Kansas before leaving to play for the Harlem Globetrotters after his junior season in 1958. He left Kansas with season averages of 29.9 points and 18.9 rebounds per game — tops in Jayhawk history and near the top of the NCAA record books.
Chamberlain, however, probably is most remembered for scoring 100 points in a single professional game, a feat he accomplished in 1962 with the Philadelphia Warriors against the New York Knicks.
Chamberlain's mystique began during his college days at Kansas, where he played from 1955-1956. He dumped in 52 points and ripped down 31 rebounds in his first varsity game, a
"In my opinion, he was the brightest, most intelligent man I've ever known," said Sy Goldberg, Chamberlain's attorney and assistant. "He was really a man for all seasons."
The loss of Chamberlain already has resonated through the basketball world — affecting the lives of Chamberlain's teammates, coaches, fans and family.
Along with his dominating totals on the court, Chamberlain was a well-rounded.
During college, Chamberlain was an civil rights activist, and near the end of his life—after his basketball career—Chamberlain's list of hobbies grew. He learned to speak 15
languages, took saxophone lessons and often called friends to discuss philosophy.
"The shadow of accomplishment he cast over our game is unlikely ever to be matched," NBA Commissioner David Stern said. "We're gratified that in the last few years, the NBA family has had the opportunity to tell him how much his contributions have meant to us."

Wilhelm Challenger speaks to crowd when he returned to Kansas. KANSAN file photo
"I couldn't believe he was sitting right there in front of me," T.J. Pugh said.
A locker room of wide-eyed basketball players and their coaches sat in awe. No one spoke. No one moved. No one could take their eyes from the giant looming before them.
Pugh recalls meeting Wilt his sports idol
Just two weeks ago Pugh and I sat with a bunch of sports fans, debating who
was the greatest athlete of all time.
athlete of an time. Pugh shook his head in disbelief at the idea that he had met Wilt Chamberlain — the man who once scored 100 points in an NBA game.

Until two years ago, Chamberlain hadn't returned to Lawrence since he left in 1958. No one was sure why he had declined invitations to view his jersey being hung in Allen Fieldhouse.
We may never know. But on Jan. 17, 1998, as a jam-packed Allen Fieldhouse rose to its feet at halftime to greet the 7-6-1 living legend, all was forgotten.
Was he ashamed of losing the 1957 NCAA championship game to the North Carolina Tar Heels?
Had the racism he had experienced at Kansas tarnished his memories of Lawrence?
It was the 100th year of Kansas basketball, and the timing of his return was straight from a Hollywood film.
But the day before the much-anticipated halftime presentation, with no cameras flashing or tape recorders running, he took the time to meet with the Kansas basketball players in their locker room before practice.
Chamberlain spoke briefly to the Jayhawks about himself—a subject he never shied away from. Then he opened the floor to questions.
So what did former player Paul Pierce ask of arguably the greatest basketball player to ever live? What question had Coach Roy Williams been saving? What did Pugh want to know about a man whose career he saves he had idolized?
"No one could think of anything to say." Pugh said. "We were all in awe of him. He was just so impressive to look at that we couldn't speak. When I shook his hand, his fingers nearly reached my elbow."
Chamberlain looked back across the room, shook a few hands and walked out of their lives forever.
"I regret that so much because there was something everyone wanted to ask him about," Pugh said. "We wanted to ask him about the 20,000 women. Everyone wanted to, but no one would. I just wanted a walk on to say 'Hey Wilt, did you really sleep with 20,000 women.'"
After that day, there was no doubt in Pugh's mind who was the greatest athlete ever.
"He told he could have gone pro in seven sports," he said.
The group of guys sitting with Pugh and I tried to convince him otherwise. What about Michael Jordan, or Babe Ruth, or Muhammad Ali?
The seven sports being basketball, track, bowling, volleyball, boxing, tennis and soccer. A variety of talents that approaches urban legend.
"He's the greatest athlete ever — end of story," Pugh said.
The debate was finished.
Yesterday, Pugh seemed awestruck at the news of Chamberlain's death.

Commission approves transit bid requests
The Lawrence City Commission approved the distribution of requests for bids for public transit system buses as part of the Consent Agenda at the City Commission meeting last night.
Steve Kilika, from Wichita-based transit consultants KA Associates, said that proposal requests would go out either today or tomorrow.
Requests will be for 12 small, heavy-duty transit coaches. KILika said they would be sent to 16 qualified vendors as well as advertised nationally. This should ensure that the most possible bids will be put forward, he said.
"We're trying to move this process forward carefully," Nikka said.
Specifications for buses require that they:
run on diesel fuel
have the capacity for 28 to 30 passengers
have wheelchair lifts with a minimum capacity for two wheelchair passengers and are in full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act
have installed bike racks
The estimated cost is about $200,000 each.
other City Commission news:
Kika said all bids would be received by Nov. 16 and that it would probably take another two weeks before a recommendation would be made to the City Commission.

Indigenous program focus of ECM forum
University of Kansas' Indigenous Nations Program will have its voice heard at today's University Forum at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave.
Donald Fixico, director of the program and professor of history, will speak about the program and what it provides students.
"He will discuss the academic integration in the program," said Thad Holcombe, pastor at the ECM. "He will also talk about relations between Haskell Indian Nations University and KU."
Many individual programs have come under fire lately including women's studies because it teaches more ideology than academics, he said.
"Fixico should give a critique on how the program is perceived at the University," Holcombe said.
The University Forum is a weekly event offered at noon each Wednesday at the ECM and is open to all students, staff and faculty members as well as members of the Lawrence community.

Gingrich files motion to interrogate witness
MARIETTA, Ga. — Newt Gingrich filed a motion asking a judge for permis-
Carol Villio of Warren, Ohio, served as a witness to a 1987 separation agreement between Gingrich and his wife, Marianne. Villio and Mrs. Gingrich, who grew up near Warren, have been friends since the late 1970s.
The motion, filed Monday in Cobb County Superior Court, was not specific about what the former U.S. House speaker wants to learn from Villa.
A judge has ruled that a 33-year-old congressional aide, Callista Bisken, must testify about her relationship with Gingrich.
Bisek tried to block the subpoena, but a judge in Washington last week found her arguments to be without merit. A decision is pending on what documents Bisek must turn in to the court.
Gingrich, 56, separated from his wife of 18 years on May 10 and filed for divorce July 29. He had stepped down as House speaker and resigned from Congress after the Republicans' relatively weak showing in last November's elections.
MIAMI—O.J. Simpson called 911, saying he was trying to get help for a woman he said had been on a two-day cocaine binge with a former baseball player.
Call by Simpson gets friend to check rehab
Simpson, 52, placed the call Sunday night from the townhouse of his 26-year-old girlfriend, Christie Prody, in southwest Miami-Dade County.
A Miami-Dade police report said Simpson told officers who showed up at the house that he was trying to get help for Prody. But Simpson and Prody later told WSVN-TV the 911 call was to get help for someone else
"We have a problem here," Simpson was heard telling the 911 operator, according to WSVN's broadcast of the call Monday. "I'm trying to get a girl to go to rehab.
"She's been doing drugs for two days with Pedro Guerrero, who just got arrested for cocaine, and I'm trying to get her to leave her house and go into rehab right now."
Guerrero, a former Los Angeles Dodgers star, was charged with cocaine conspiracy in Miami federal court on Oct. 1. He posted $100,000 bond.
Two police officers went to Prody's townhouse after the 911 call and found only Simpson, who was given a brochure on how to recognize and prevent domestic violence, as required by state law in any incident involving couples, police spokesman Ed Munn said yesterday.
Calls to the homes of Prody and Guerrero yesterday were not immediately returned.

Jayhawks will miss 'The Stilt'
NBA records, Michael Jordan has three, and Wilt has 66, so I think that says something about the player he was."
Continued from page 1A
Kansas basketball fans also will miss "The Stilt" and have a lasting image of his final, long-awaited, return to Lawrence on Jan. 17, 1996, when his No. 13 Kansas jersey was retired and revealed in the Allen Fieldhouse rafters during halftime of a 69-62 victory against Kansas State.
"I'm glad Roy Williams and Bob Frederick made the effort to get him here and make him feel like a king." Billings said.
Kansas radio announcer Max Falkenstien called the Jayhawks' triple-overtime defeat to North Carolina in the 1957 NCAA championship game, in which Chamberlain thought that he let Kansas down.
"I was grateful that he did come back and realized what the people of Kansas thought about him," Falkenstien said.
Although Chamberlain was a dominating figure on the court, those who knew him best remembered him for the person he was.
Jerry West, Los Angeles Lakers general manager and Chamberlain's former Lakers teammate, recalled Chamberlain's presence in the public eye.
"The thing I admired most about him — he was like every man's star." West said. "He was out among the people and had no problem going places and being recognized as Wilt Chamberlain."
Monte Johnson, who came with Chamberlain to Kansas in 1955, had a similar recollection.
"He may have been one of the most down-to-earth, kind, caring people I have ever known." Johnson said. "That's how he's
been since we were in college, and when I talked to him just a few days ago."
He also was remembered as a family-oriented man who cared about those around him.
Bob Frederick, Kansas athletics director, said Chamberlain would be missed.
"He was just a wonderful person," said Chamberlain's sister Barbara. "He was truly a family-oriented person. He was a very private person but liked to crack a good joke — that's a Chamberlain trait."
"This is a sad day for the University of Kansas and for everyone in basketball." Frederick said. "Wilt was a giant not only in physical stature but also in his dominance of the game. It is really unfortunate to lose a man who has so much energy and enthusiasm at such a young age."

Less stringent residency rules could be costly
By Nathan Willis
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A proposal that could cost the University of Kansas millions of dollars has administrators watchful, but not too worried.
University Council plans to have Provost David Shulenburger address the possibility that the University could lose between $15 and $20 million annually because of looser requirements for in-state residency status at its Oct. 21 meeting.
Regent Bill Docking said it was not the Board of Regents, but the Council of Presidents — which is composed of Chancellor Robert Hemenway and the presidents of the five other Regents universities — who had appointed a task force to study establishing uniform residency standards for all the Regents institutions, including all of the community colleges and technical schools.
The problem for the University, Docking said, was that most of the community colleges and technical schools had much looser requirements for students to be considered in-state. Because out-of-state students pay about four times what in-state students do, the six Regents universities would lose money if residency requirements were relaxed. And the University of Kansas would be the hardest hit because more than 30 percent of the University's students are out-of-state.
Meanwhile, Shulenburger said he wasn't really concerned. The University collects about $80 million in tuition annually, with about $40 million from in-state students and $40 million from out-of-state students, Shulenburger said. Taking a $20 million chunk out of that is just too big to be realistically considered, he said.
The only other alternative the University would have would be to drastically increase tuition rates an unacceptable alternative, he said.
"The reason I don't think it's going to happen is we'd be closing programs and cutting things left and right," Shulenburger said. "That alternative is one that the Board of Regents would not let happen."
Jim Carothers, president of University Senate Executive Committee, said after finding out about the possibility of cuts through meetings with the provost, most of his fears were alleviated by a meeting with Docking and Board of Regents Executive Director Kin Wilcox during their campus tour last week.
Docking said because the University would stand to lose so much money, the Regents were not likely to adopt such loose residency standards.
"I think this is one of those issues where there isn't to be any quick fix." Docking said.
Still, Mary Hawkins, University Council president, said SenEx and University Council would keep a watchful eye on the issue. The task force hasn't issued its report yet, but both groups will be interested to see what it says, she said.
She said she didn't know when the report would be issued.

GTA skips court; may be in India
The University of Kansas graduate teaching assistant charged with sexually battering a female student did not appear at his court date yesterday.
By Katie Hallor
writer @ kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Lavanya Malhotra, Shimla, India, graduate student, was scheduled for his first appearance yesterday at 3 p.m. in Division 4 court. He never showed.
Malhotra faced two misdemeanor charges: sexual battery and criminal restraint. Both offenses are punishable with up to one year in the Douglas County Jail.
Malhotra was accused of sexually battering the woman at his apartment in Jayhawk Tower Towers the afternoon of Aug. 23, the KU Public Safety Office said. After a month-long investigation, Malhotra was formally charged Sept. 27.
When charges were filed, Malhotra withdrew from the University. He was an architectural engineering major.
A resident of Jayhawker Towers contacted the district attorney's office Sept. 28 with a concern that Malhotra was planning to escape to India. In an interview that day, he said he was not planning to leave.
But yesterday, Malhotra's roommate said he was gone. Kapil Gupta, Alwar, India, graduate student, said Malhotra was no longer living with him.
"He is not in Lawrence." Gupta said. "I think he has gone back to India."
Gupta said he did not remember what day Malhotra left.
Judge Michael Malone issued a bench warrant for Malotra's arrest and set bond at $15,000. The $3,000 cash bond Malotra paid upon his initial arrest was forfeited because he failed to appear.
Christine Tonkovich, district attorney, said no action could be taken if Malhotra had left the country.
"Assuming we cannot locate him in the United States to serve that, then the warrant will remain outstanding unless or until he returns to the States," she said.
She said additional penalties could be issued for failure to appear for a felony but was unsure whether they applied to misdemeanors.

Woman files complaint, says men are paid more
By Clay McCusick
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
By the end of next week, the Kansas Board of Regents will be required to answer allegations that it discriminated against staff member Christine Crenshaw because of her gender.
Regents accused of gender bias
Crenshaw filmed a June 30 complaint with the Kansas Human Rights Commission, charging that she was paid less than men in similar positions at the board's office, and that the board's refusal to discuss the issue with her was willful wage-based discrimination.
The board, which is studying pay equity in the six universities it directly governs, is required to respond by Oct. 22.
Crenshaw is associate director of fiscal affairs for the Regents. Her title was director of student financial aid until the summer reorganization of the board and its office.
She refused to comment on her charges, referring questions to Topea lawyer Kirk Lowry.
"She very much wants to work and cooperate and do her job," Lowry said. "She's trying to work through the system."
Kim Wilcox, executive director of the board of regents, would not comment on Crenshaw's allegations.
According to documents provided by Lowry, Crenshaw tried drawing attention to her salary situation four different times between June 1998 and March 1999.
Lowry said Crenshaw received no response to her questions.
"Now is the time, when there is no one with a vested interest in defending the current salary distribution, to build a defensible, equitable compensation structure," Crenshaw wrote June 26, 1998.
"Something must be done," she wrote in her fourth letter. "The degradation of salary equity; the lack of logic underlying most, if not all the salaries, is unacceptable."
WHAT CHRISTINE CRENSHAW ALLEGES IN HER COMPLAINT
She was discriminated against because of her gender by being paid less than men in similar positions.
She raised the issue of unequal pay and sex discrimination on four occasions from June 1998 to March 1999 and has not to receive any compensation.
She has more seniority than any director, including higher-paid men.
Wage discrimination has been a pattern and practice since she joined the repents staff in 1991.
Her work was always satisfactory or exemptary.
In May she was given a 3.5 percent raise, keeping her about $20,000 below similar directors with less seniority.
- She has suffered monetary loss and is entitled to compensation.
Crenshaw's salary was raised by 3.5 percent in May 1999, for a total of $75,576 for fiscal year 2000. In a list of salaries of the nine unclassified regents staff from that month, Crenshaw was fourth. The top three salaries went to men. The five staff members below Crenshaw on the pay scale were all women.
Lowry said his client felt she had exhausted the options available within the organization. Crenshaw hired Lowry toward the end of June when she filed her formal complaint.
After the Regents staff was reorganized July 1, Crenshaw was no longer a director, but an associate director. Lowry said that he thought it was because she had filed the complaint.
"The basic perception is that her title was decreased, and it was a title demotion," Lowry said.
decreased, and it was a title demotion. "Lowry said, Lowry said that Crenshaw was seeking recompense for the salary she had lost based on gender discrimination. But he said making money wasn't Crenshaw's central objective in filing the complaint. "How powerful is this?"
"Her primary goal is just to address the problem." Lowry said.
Lowry said that if the board failed to address the issue satisfactorily within six months, Crenshaw was entitled to sue.
Tom Hutton, University Relations director, said the University had no official comment on Crenshaw's charges.
Caller ID service not available to students on campus
Edited by Chris Hopkins
By Michael Terry
Kansan staff writer
Caller Identification service is not new to some students at the University of Kansas, but for the 3,659 students living in scholarship and residence halls at the University, having Caller ID is not an option.
the availability of Caller ID has become an issue.
Anna Hines, assistant director of Network and Telecommunications Services, said that at this time Caller ID services were not available for students living in University housing.
Todd Cohen, assistant director of University Relations, said that with the recent number of harassing and threatening phone calls being received by female students in on-campus housing.
Since Oct. 4, 27 female students have reported receiving harassing phone calls from unidentified individuals. During the course of some of the calls, the caller has threatened to beat and kill the victims if they hung up.
Caller ID services are available in certain departments around the University that have had a special digital line installed that allows for the service to be used, Cohen said. University Relations, the university Information Center and the front desk at Jayhawk Towers are among the places that have Caller ID services.
"Lucent Technologies, the University's vendor for phone services does not offer the Caller ID services to students living
in scholarship and residence halls at this time," Cohen said. "Most of the phone lines around the University, especially the ones in the scholarship halls are old analog lines, which at this time will not support the service."
Emily Faurot, Lawrence freshman and Oliver Hall resident, said she thought the University should make Caller ID services available.
"With the recent number of harassing phone calls going around the University, it has become a safety issue," Faurot said. "I think everyone should have the right to screen their calls, and Caller ID is a convenient way to do it."
Cohen said if the PBX vendor, Lucent Technologies would offer the Caller ID capability in the future, the University would consider purchasing the necessary software and hardware to provide this service to on-campus phone customers.
Cohen said the Networking and Telecommunications Services Department worked closely with Southwestern Bell and the KU Public Safety Office on reported cases of harassing phone calls.
Faurot said Caller ID provided a way to avoid picking up the phone if the caller's identity was not familiar.
"Caller ID is not really a way to prevent harassing calls because the callers can easily block their identity," Cohen said.
"Caller IDs might not prevent harassing calls, but it gives us the opportunity not to answer the phone if it reads anonymous or unknown." Faurot said

'School of Assassins' must be closed
In Fort Benning, Ga., the U.S. Army operates a training school for Latin American military personnel known as the School of the Americas. For many in Latin America, it is known by another name — the "School of Assassins." The school has been a training ground for numerous future Latin American dictators, including Panama's Manuel Noriega. The school also has produced soldiers and assassins responsible for the massacre of hundreds of civilians and the murders of numerous political and religious figures.
Last year, 16 people working with the University of Kansas' Latin American Solidarity student organization went Georgia and joined thousands of others, who either were there at the time or had been there previously, to protest the SOA and state their beliefs that it
U.S. Army trains Latin American military in torture, blackmail and execution
should be closed immediately. The rest of the citizens of the United States should take the same position.
The school was started in 1947 with the purpose of training Latin Americans to promote democracy and enact anti-narcotics operations. It has graduated, by its own count, 56,000 students since its inception. Unfortunately, very few of them have gone on to carry out those stated goals. Instead, they have carried out the aforementioned atrocities.
of the brutality of the graduates of the SOA is the curriculum taught there. In 1996, after pressure from religious activists, the Pentagon released seven training manuals which had been used in the SOA. The manuals included recommendations on interrogation techniques such as torture, blackmail, the arrest of relatives of those being questioned and even execution. Though torture may no longer be taught at the school, in 1997 the New York Times stated that the SOA was "a threat to fragile civilian control of Latin militaries and still encourages abuses."
One of the reasons for the consistency
Last year, the House of Representatives almost passed a bill to close the school. All of us should let our government leaders know that a similar measure should be passed in this session of Congress.

Procrastination strikes: Can luck save you now?
I don't mean to procrastinate. Really, I don't. I start every new semester, every new week, every new day, fully intending to study and do my homework. I set aside a specific time to study.
When that time comes, however, there is

always something better to do. Whether it be that ever-so-important, really crappy TV show that I hate, a random and spontaneous road trip to the middle of nowhere, or just a million games of Minesweeper, I devote that study time to whatever occupies my mind at the moment, which, invariably, is never my classes.
It's not that I don't know the routine. I've trekked my way through miles of the academic jungle. I've
Lydia Taylor columnist opinion by kansas
It's just that when I sit down to study, the sensory world and my attention span all conspire against me. I reach to pick up that novel that I've been intending to read, or the television remote, or my car keys and coat, and all my intentions of studying are for nought.
unlassered its tropical rivers and am left relatively unscathed. I know how to get good grades on tests (or, at least, most tests). I know how to write a damn good paper. I even, when you get right down to it, know how to study.
Perhaps it is some sort of academic death wish that keeps me from studying. Perhaps I subconciously want to fail my classes and lose my scholarship. Perhaps, through my procrastination, I am committing academic suicide.
Or maybe it's some sort of self-fulfilling prophecy. Maybe I don't believe that I deserve to be where I am in life, and somehow I have to defeat myself and put myself in my proper place socially and intellectually.
I know that my procrastination doesn't spring from good old-fashioned laziness. For,
Yeah, well, probably not.
despite the fact that I will wait until the absolute last minute to write that four- to sixpage Western Civ. paper, I will work my mental but off trying to hone that paper until it reaches absolute perfection.
Lately, though, I suppose, I have an excuse. I've been trying to balance a full-time job and a full schedule of classes. Plus, a little bit of time to sleep. Needless to say, taking into account my penchant for procrastination, my classes are starting to suffer. Just a little bit. OK, a lot.
So, after working a nine-hour shift, I attempt to cram at the last minute, around hour-long naps. And then, when all else fails, I put my trust in my wide array of good-luck charms (Hey, Kermit the Lucky Pez Dispenser! Don't let me down!)
I recently had to take an astronomy test. The previous test I had done none-to-well on. I spent all night cramming, forcing every bit of astronomical knowledge I could obtain from a cursory skimming of the chapter into my poor, exhausted little brain. I finally went to bed, as dawn stretched its menacing fingers across the sky. I got a couple of hours of sleep, then got up and got dressed.
Five minutes later, I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth. My eyes were clouded with exhaustion, and as I leaned forward to spit into the sink, I washed my head on the small shelf above it. I reeled back, slightly stunned. It took a moment to actually collect my thoughts, an awareness of my surroundings and knowledge of who I was. But as I left for my astronomy test, I saw a faint glimmer of hope.
Perhaps my recent head injury would endow me with some sort of profound astronomical knowledge that would enable me to do well on my test.
Let this be a lesson to you, oh ye freshman.
Do not put your trust in Pez dispensers or head injuries to do well in school, for I just got my astronomy test back.
And I got a D.

Jennifer Barlow columnist opinion@kansan.com
I am agnostic. In a nutshell, this means I believe
Being absolutely true to yourself about your feelings and actions makes you or breaks you, no matter how you worship.
I refuse to join any organized religion before I have educated myself about the many religions of the world. Just because I'm most familiar with Christianity does not make it the absolute truth.
People often interpret my view as apathetic to religion, which is not the case. I feel true understanding of personal spirituality is one of the most important journeys anyone encounters in life.
that nothing truly can be known of God or of life after death. I do not deny that a higher being may exist (in fact, deep down, I hope one does), but I don't feel that humans have the capacity to understand or clearly follow a religion mapped out by something infinitely superior to us, though many will try.
Christianity breeds black-and-white idealistic philosophy, and this is why I have a problem accepting this faith.
Just because I was born in the American Midwest, fed corn and steak for dinner, taught that jeans and a T-shirt were acceptable forms of dress and educated about American history and evolution in public school does not mean that my outlook on life is superior to that of another person. That was just the way I was raised. I think most people would accept that point.
However, when religion comes into play, idealism rears its uvel head.
Two passages from the Bible that I often have heard quoted involve Jesus telling those without sin to cast the first stone and then telling God that humans know not what they do.
People begin to manifest the "I'm right, you're wrong" attitude about the most personal philosophy humans have about themselves.
My interpretation of this would be that we are all sinners, and not one of us has the ability to truly understand the complexity of life. I believe that some Christians need to keep this in mind before informing me I'm on my way to hell for not having faith.
I'd like to note that some of my very closest friends are strict Christians. Also, I think the Bible is, psychologically, a literary masterpiece and preaches some intrinsically valuable morals.
The way the religion is practiced seems to have unnerving contradictions. I'm picking on Christianity more than other beliefs because it is what I know most about. Contradictions and hypocrites do not nullify the worth of Christianity. They simply make me take a step back before accepting the faith.
I do not want to die agnostic. I admire pious people who seem to acquire so much comfort from their religion. I would like to think that, someday, I'll find a religious philosophy that flows with my beliefs, comforts and guides me.
Until then, I'll simply play devil's advocate.

Headline assumes that coming out defines identity
The headline of Monday's Kansan: "Coming Out Day Gives a Face to Stereotypes."
When I was in eighth grade on the school paper, we studied headline writing for two weeks. That education informs me that Monday's headline is not a good one. The word "stereotypes" in this instance is used as a pronoun for all the hitherto unknown homosexuals, who now, because of a special day in which they may "come out" without fear, will gain a face.
This headline implies two things:
1. That homosexuals are a stereotyped group and should remain so.
National Coming Out day is one of the most ridiculous PR tricks the gay community has ever conceived of.
2. That individuals who are homosexual but had yet to advertise it are now able to gain an identity and that other homosexuals only possess worth in terms of their sexual orientation and the stereotyped group they belong to.
If the writer of this headline intended to suggest the importance of familiarity with individuals of a sub-cultural group in dissuading the urge to stereotype that group as a whole, his or her use of language is flawed.
I think that the writers and editors of the Kansan should now be acquainted with the slim latitude in the arena of offensive headlines. I believe the Kansan should be eager to rid itself of both cryptically subversive publication and poor writing. Both are necessary in order to elevate our student newspaper above the customary aptitudes of a middle school.

Dean of Fine Arts appointed
ASU music director begins duties in April
By Nathan Willis
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Toni-Marie Montgomery, director of the School of Music at Arizona State University, was named dean of Fine arts at the University of Kansas yesterday.
She will assume her duties April 3, 2000. Interim dean Celan Ross, who was the other finalist for the dean position, will continue to serve until then.
"I'm very excited to assume these responsibilities," Montgomery said. "I'm very impressed with the national and international recognition of the program. And I'm looking forward to working with the faculty to strengthen the programs and the awareness of those programs."
It was the end of a long search for the fine arts dean search committee, which had an abortive search last spring when negotiations with the recommended candidate failed and began anew this fall.
Montgomery was a finalist in the search last spring as well but was unable to interview and had to withdraw from consideration, she said.
This time, she did come to campus and interviewed Sept. 31 and Oct. 1.
John Gaunt, dean of architecture and search committee chair, said the committee was very impressed with Montgomery.
"She has a very significant background as a musician," he said. "She also has an appropriate level of experience administratively."
Her musical background includes piano performances throughout the U.S. and in Austria and Brazil. As for her background in administration, she was assistant dean for for academic programs at the School of Fine Arts at the University of Connecticut at Storrs before joining ASU as associate dean in 1990. She became director of ASU's school of music in 1996.
The committee voted Oct. 4 to recommend Montgorgomey to Shulenburger, who announced her hiring yesterday.
"She's got tremendous experience at a very good school," Shulenburger said. "But the most important thing, I think, is that she's got a good imagination and drive that will take this school forward."
Montgomery said she would not outline a specific vision for the school until after she had spent time

with the faculty and students. But some basic things she wants to do include improving the school's image and national ranking so that it is considered one of the top five schools nationwide, she said. In a ranking done by US News and World Report this year, the School of Fine Arts did not make the top 20.
She said she hoped the creation of a public relations position in the school and the University's upcoming capital campaign would help the school achieve those goals.
In the meantime, she said, she's just happy to finally realize her dream of becoming a dean.

Students respond to Watkins lawsuit
By Amber Stuever writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A week after news that Watkins Memorial Health Center staff members were accused of health-care negligence in a 1997 student's death, University of Kansas students are reacting with both support and caution toward their health center.
Angela Griffin, a Ulysses freshman, died in Ellsworth Hall Sept. 26, 1997. She had obtained care at Watkins, where mononucleosis was diagnosed in her. The following morning her roommate and her roommate's parents found her dead.
On Sept. 24, Griffin's parents filed a petition with Douglas County Court, asking the University for more than $150,000 as compensation for negligent health care.
"I think in some ways her parents are overreacting," said Jen
Honeycutt, Lee's Summit junior. "I understand that they had a huge loss, but what will suing them help any?"
However, some students said they did not trust Watkins health care and the negligence claim caused them to be more cautious.
"It would definitely make me think about going there now," said Katie Culp, Troy freshman. "For minor things I would go, but if there was anything else major — I don't know."
The petition filed by the Griffins named the following as defendants: Watkins; the University, Randall W. Rock, chief of staff; Cheryl Hickert, nurse practitioner; and Robert Brown, physician.
Watkins continuously has been ranked high as a health facility, Carol Seager, Watkins director, said. Four surveys administered by the American Association of
Ambulatory Health Care gave Watkins the highest possible rankings during the past 12 years. Senior surveys at the university also found Watkins to be the highest-ranked service in student affairs.
Andrew Hinshaw, Denver junior, said he would continue to use Watkins.
"It's a shame that that happened," Hinshaw said. "It could happen anywhere."
Watkins officials declined to comment, but David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, touched on the issue in a written statement last week.
"The loss of Angie Griffen two years ago was a tragedy," he wrote. "It remains so today. We believe Angie's treatment at the University health center was appropriate and met the highest standard of care."

Who's afraid of Virginia the ghost of Sigma Nu?
Lorraine Warren explores a room in the Sigma Nu Fraternity house for a spiritual presence.

Couple walk halls of local chapter looking for spirit
The Sigma Nu fraternity house sits on a steep hill near Emery Road. Formerly the governor's mansion, it now houses more than 60 men, occasional female visitors and someone else who never leaves. Meet Virginia, Lorraine Warren has.
"Wow, I can definitely feel a psychic vibration in here," she said, in a light trance, when she entered the Bowery, the third floor bedroom where the fabled Virginia was said to have hanged herself in the 1920s. "There's a lot of anger and sadness. I see a young woman in black and white. I'm confused as to what she's wearing, as to what her job was, but by her dress, she looks like she had maybe a position of servility or something."
Lorraine and her husband, Ed, look like an average grandma and grandpa. They call people "honey" and squeeze their hands, with eyes smiling. But they are ghost hunters, and they have been for nearly 50 years. And since 1969, they've been touring the world, investigating haunted places and lecturing on college campuses. While Ed prepared for their 8 p.m. Student Union Activities-
sponsored presentation last night, Lorraine toured Sigma Nu fraternity searching for paranormal activity.
She sensed a woman's presence, former governor Roscoe Stubbs' alleged mistress, Virginia, whom residents blame for the bumps in the night and the creepy vibes they often sense.
Brian Wanamaker, Sigma Nu president, said some members had reported Virginia sightings.
"They've walked into a room and thought they saw a guy on the couch with a girl sleeping next to him," Wanamaker said. "Then they'd ask about it the next day and the guy wouldn't know anything about it."
Stories like Sigma Nu's and visits to haunted places are routine for Ed and Lorraine. She is clairvoyant, a medium to the spiritual world, and he is a demonologist, an expert in handling spirits and reversing curses — an exorcist.
Together, they've investigated and exorcised everything from people to houses to dolls. But before beginning their research, Ed invokes the presence of St. Michael the Archangel for added protection. He specializes in the Latin prayers that remove evil spirits and protect people from being haunted after the research is complete.
Although he said the good spirits and the angels were what kept his wife and him safe most of the time, he's been blown across the room by evil spirits and seen Lorraine thrown 25 feet into
"There are a lot of spirits out there," Ed said before the lecture, "and some not good ones."

the air.
"Spirits can do a lot," he said. "They can slash; they can puncture; they can burn; they can cause internal combustion."
In the lecture that followed the tour of Sigma Nu, the husband-wife team showed slides of spirit sightings, video clips from an exorcism Ed performed and photos of haunted houses to between 300 and 400 people at the Kansas Union.
"If you walk into that house and you feel a million eyes staring at you, they are staring with hate," Ed said. "You have no place being there. You should go out and never go back. It's not your house to have."
Although some laughed at the stories at the beginning of the presentation, by the end, the audience was silent.
Some students find commuting to college can save money
Brenda Chung, Student Union Activities vice president for membership, said she was skeptical at first but that their stories got to her after a while.
"I was trying to think, 'oh well, it just looks like a picture,'" Chung said. "But it was freaky. You actually believe them."

Last year, Liana Hemphill had to drive an hour each day from her home in Lenexa to get to campus.
Hemphill, Westwood senior, had to make long-distance calls to contact professors or classmates.
She did not have time to make a second trip to campus in the evenings to meet with study groups.
Hemphill has an internship, which is part of her academic study at the University of Kansas, in Overland Park — near her home in Westwood.
“It’s nice,” Hemphill said. “I’m getting more sleep. I was always so stressed.”
She said that this year, as a non-commuter, she had more time to get things done.

Although she doesn't attend classes on any of the University's buildings, she is still considered a student
who commute 10 miles or more to campus.
Although she doesn't attend classes on any of the University's campuses, she is still considered a student. Hemhill is one of a decreasing number of students
Although this semester's specific number of commuters has not yet been released, figures from the last several years show that fewer students commute each year.
According to statistics from the Office of Institutional Research and Planning, 1,644 students commuted last fall, compared to a total of 2,459 commuters during the fall of 1993.
Even with the continuously decreasing number of commuters, there are still many who deal with travel time and costs, including gas and turnpike tolls.
Jennifer Haganey, Leavenworth junior, said there had been times this semester when she had been too tired or had not had time to make the 40-minute drive to campus for her 9:30 a.m. class.
She makes the 80-minute round trip three times a week to get to campus for classes.
Haganaye she would probably spend more time on campus if she did not live 40 minutes away.
"I don't know that the distance keeps me away," she
said. "But if I lived in town, I'd have more time to do things like study at the library."
She is taking two independent study courses and plans to take as many as she can while she works toward her anthropology degree so she doesn't have to commute as often.
Grant Bowers, Olathe sophomore, is also a commuter. Last year, he lived in McCollum Hall, but this year, he is living with his family in Olathe and makes the 30-minute drive to campus each day.
He said he preferred living in Olathe and did not mind the drive.
"It's cheaper, the food's a little bit better and there's much nicer accommodations," he said.
He said he kept all of his textbooks and notebooks in his car, so he didn't have to worry about leaving something he needed at home — an hour-long round trip away from campus.
He said even when he lived on Daisy Hill last year, he only spent about an hour more on campus each day than he did now.

Haskell board to decide about vetoing plan

The South Lawrence Trafficway may have had its last rites read yesterday amid drumbeats and traditional Native-American songs.
The Haskell Indian Nations University Board of Regents met yesterday at the Haskell campus to conduct a hearing on a proposed extension of the trafficway that would cross Haskell land and the Baker Wetlands. A decision on the issue from the Haskell Board of Regents could come later today.
The board can veto any proposal that impacts Haskell land.
Nearly 100 Haskell Indian Nations University students, faculty and alumni rallied before the meeting in protest of the extension. Members of
the student-led Wetlands Preservation Organization beat a drum, sang honor songs and held signs to show solidarity against the trafficway, said Carol Burns, secretary of the organization and Haskell student.
Stan Ross, Haskell faculty sponsor for the organization, said the debate about the trafficway had gone on too long.
"It makes me angry that we have to keep coming back and telling these people no." Ross said.
Representatives from the Douglas County Commission, the Federal Highway Administration, the U.S. Corps of Engineers, the Kansas Department of Transportation and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation were on hand to provide information to the Haskell Board of Regents.
The idea for the trafficway was conceived in 1986 to relieve growing traffic congestion on 23rd Street. State, county and federal governments have spent $53 million to complete the western part
The initial route chosen for the eastern stretch of the trafficway crossed Haskell land over what is currently 31st Street.
of the trafficw that reaches around the southern end of Lawrence.
In 1994, former Haskell president Bob Martin raised concerns to the Federal Highway Administration about historic lands being affected by the project.
The highway administration decided that a supplemental environmental-impact study concerning the historic and environmental impacts of the eastern leg of the trafficway would need to be completed before the project could go further.
The department of transportation tried to defederalize the eastern leg of the project to avoid the need for a supplemental study, but a lawsuit by the preservation organization brought about a judge's ruling that the entire project had to meet the highway administration's specifications.
The highway administration determined that the trafficway would affect historic Haskell lands and granted the Haskell Board of Regents veto power on any proposal that crossed Haskell lands.
"It makes me angry that we have to keep coming back and, telling these people no."
Stan Ross
Wetlands Preservation Organization
State and federal officials provided information to the board about the 31st Street route, alternate routes to the south and a mitigation plan that would be attached to the 31st Street route.
Dean Carlson, secretary of transportation, said the department would not build on alternate routes at 35th Street, 38th Street or south of the Wakarusa River.
Carlson said Haskell either could accept the 31st Street route and the mitigation package or maintain its position against the route, in which case the trafficway would not be completed.
"You hold the key to the trafficway in your hands," he said.
The package totals about $5,000,000. Carlson said.
The mitigation package would include land from the Baker Wetlands to be given to Haskell, noise mitigation in the form of earth mounds or noise walls, a pedestrian crossing and an archeologist approved by Haskell to oversee any possible artifacts or burial sites encountered during construction.
Prentice Crawford, who as Haskell student body president is a fully-privileged member of the Board of Regents, said the mitigation package would not change Haskell's stance.
"They cannot offer us anything that will change our mind." Crawford said.
However, Mamie Rupnicki board president, said that the board would not make a decision until today at the earliest and that it was keeping an open mind.
"An old quote says, 'A rumor is halfway around the world, while the truth is still putting on its shoes,'" Rupnicki said.
Bill would ask Regents for nondiscrimination policy

In 1970, then-University of Kansas Chancellor Laurence Chalmers vetoed a bill making the Gay Liberation Front an official student organization.
In fact, he vetoed it four times after the Student Senate passed it four times.
Nearly three decades later, in 1998, Emporia State University President Kay Schallenkamp removed a sexual orientation clause from the university's non-
discrimination policy. She later included a non-legally binding companion statement that did include sexual orientation.
These two incidents in the history of higher education in Kansas, Korb Maxwell, student body president, said, should not be allowed to happen again.
Senate will consider a bill tonight, sponsored by Maxwell, that would petition the Board of Regents to embrace a statewide nondiscrimination policy that includes sexual orientation.
"We need to be national leaders
on this issue," he said. "Inequality anywhere is a danger to equality everywhere."
Other than the University, Kansas State University and Wichita State University are the only Regents schools with similar legally-binding clauses.
Maxwell said he would lobby the Regents to consider the policy
The petition mirrors an initiative by the Students Advisory Council, a board composed of the student body presidents of all six major Regents institutions. Maxwell is chairman of the group.
regardless of whether Senate passed the legislation. However, he said getting the Regents to approve it would be difficult.
"I hope they're enthusiastic about it, but I don't expect them to be," he said. "I get the feeling they don't want to confront it right now."
Erin Simpson, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator and a cosponsor of the petition, echoed that sentiment.
"I'm cynical but hopeful at the same time." she said.
Protecting gay rights at the university level is definitely a priority, Simpson said. Even if the University already has a protective policy, she said, it was important to set an example.
"It affects our school inclusively," she said. "Ultimately, we want to guarantee that no university can do what Emporia State did."
The Multicultural Affairs and Student Rights committees acclaimed the petition last Wednesday.
Full Senate will convene at 6:30 tonight at the Delta Gamma sorority house, 1015 Emery Road.

The Aug. 30 edition of U.S. News & World Report placed the University of Kansas School of Engineering toward the bottom of the ladder.
In a ranking poll by the magazine, the school received a 2.9 on a five-point scale, placing it number 74 out of 85 schools in the "Best Undergraduate engineering schools with Ph.D. programs."
Carl Locke, dean of the school, said he was bothered by the study because on a point scale, the school was actually No.20.
all impressions of the school.
"People are not enamored with the surveys," he said. "I wasn't going to respond, but I did so in self defense. I would do the survey again, but not liking it."
Deans and senior faculty members at all of the universities were polled by the magazine to rate the 93 accredited engineering programs in the country. Eight schools did not respond.
Locke said the surveys were based on perception only — individuals who were polled were not asked to rank individual components of the school, only their over-
The magazine has been publishing top undergraduate and graduate programs for more than 10 years, said Celeste James, director of public affairs at the magazine.
"Because it's based on perception, it's hard to know what's going on at other institutions because they change from time to time," he said. "It's a difficult position to be in."
"It's a fair ratings system," she said. "We offer a listing of excellence. People look at the top, but it's not suggesting that the schools at the bottom are the worst."
Several chairpersons of the school share Locke's sentiments.
Mark Ewing, chairman of the aerospace engineering department, said he gave little value to a subjective poll.
"It's like the ranking of all Division I football teams — top to bottom, after 25, it's not that important," he said. "No one should care beyond Top 10 in an objective poll."
The University was tied with 11 other schools for 74th, including Texas Tech University. Of all the Big 12 Conference schools, the University of Texas had the highest ranking at 32 (3.5 points).
Locke said most of the programs in the Big 12 were the same size, with the exception of the University of Texas.
"Those rankings all are equal," he said. "Six were in at 3.0 and 2.8; the programs are all comparable."
John Gauch, chairman of the electrical engineering and computer science department, said the University of Kansas should have been ranked higher.
"It's because Kansans are too modest," he said. "Everybody on the East Coast that can do anything stands on a bridge and yells."
The top engineering program was Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which earned a 4.8.
However, some students are not that concerned.
Michael Randall, Spring Hill junior and engineering major, said he didn't think the school's reputation would be hurt by the rankings.
"KU will still be seen as a good institution even though they were ranked low," he said. "I've had a positive experience here."

Special to the Kansan
Easier classes do not necessarily correlate with good teaching and are not terribly liked by students, said George Enders, associate professor of anatomy and cell biology. Enders, a winner of a 1998-1999 Kemper Award in Teaching Excellence, was one of the five Kemper Award winners at a discussion about changing teaching styles at 3:30 p.m. yesterday at the Jayhawk Room in the Kansas Union.
The five winners, out of the 20 faculty members who won the award this year, led a discussion titled "Different Teaching Styles for Different Times." Sharing their experiences were Dennis Prater, professor of law; Jan Sheldon, professor of human development and physical education; Chris Haufler, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology; and Bruce Twarog, professor of physics and astronomy.
"Students come to expect higher-quality presentations and do admire tough teaching standards," Enders said.
Greater use of technology, grade inflation and increased classroom were mentioned as factors affecting changes in
teaching and learning styles.
Haufler said he had been teaching at the University for more than 20 years and had seen the change in the student body.
"When I started, MTV was born," Haufler said. "It spawned a great implication of images, and that put an increased weight on us to integrate images in lecture material."
He said his perception of students also changed.
"In the '80s, they were more introverted and self-aware; currently they respond better to a greater variety of teaching tools," Haufler said.
Prater said he was concerned with the communication skills of students. He said he was giving students more written assignments and oral presentations. Prater said he videotaped the oral presentations so he could show his students their mistakes visually.
Sheldon said she thought today's students were more stressed.
"Their age is the same, but they look older." Sheldon said. "They work more outside of school, more of them have children, and they are worried about their grades."

Musician has style all his own

TOMMY
Mixing instruments, local band has unique background, sound
By Emily Hughey writer @kansan.com Kansan staff writer
He's not a typical Lawrence musician.
For one, Billy Ebeling doesn't read music. He doesn't need to — he feels it.
"I just like playing guitar," Ebeling said. "I had lessons, but I always quit. I think there are two ways of music. The mathematical way where you've got everything mapped out and it's numbers. Otherwise, you just go 'this sounds good,' and play."
Ebeling, longtime Lawrence resident, has been playing music since junior high when he started teaching himself how to play the guitar.
Secondly, his parents aren't putting him through college, he doesn't party like a rock star with the kids and he thinks cigarettes are pointless.
Since then, he's developed his style into a fusion of blues, jazz and zydeco. He plays his style with the Late for Dinner Band every Wednesday night at Sports Page Brewery, 3512 Clinton Pkwy., on some Friday nights at Pat's Blue Rib N'Barbecue, 1618 W. 23rd St., and every once in a while at venues in Kansas City, Mo.
Billy Murray, manager at Pat's Blue Rib'N and Overland Park senior, said the bar almost always filled up when Ebeling played.
"He always brings in a good crowd," Murray said. "He's cool. He's huge in New Zealand and Australia, and he's a really nice guy. I mean, the guy plays guitar, harmonica, the accordion, slide guitar, keyboard — the guy is amazing."
Katie Holmes, server at Pat's, said the bar always got crowded when Ebeling played.
"It gets crowded but not really with a college crowd," Holmes said. "He kind of has a following. The only night we have a bar crowd is when his band is playing."
While the traditional home of blues musicians is not a sports bar, Ebeling said the pay was better than at most of
the local clubs.
Ebeling is a 40-year old musician who plays in Lawrence bars not just because he loves to but because he has to make a living.
"I've got two separate parallel reasons — of course to make a living," Ebeling said. "And on the recording side, to have some messages I'd kind of like to use to open people up to some of my ideas."
Upon returning from his around-the-world travels last year, which he began in 1890, Ebeling said he had a new perspective.. And some of the things about the United States that troubled him have become the subject of some of his songs on his new CD. Don't Look Away.
"After living in America and living outside, I thought there were some problems that we were imoring." he said.
From racism to violence to tobacco smoking, Ebeling said he tried to get his message across through his music. However, hypocrisy, he said, was not his bag. In the last line of his song "Smoking," he admits "on occasion I do like to get high, but I do not smoke just so I can die."
"I tried to smoke when I was a kid, and it just made me dizzy. I just don't see the point," he said. "I don't want to be a hypocrite. I'll smoke a joint for kicks."
But that's not the only thing that gives him a high. Traveling, spending time with his wife and family and playing music also send him soaring.
His favorite place is Port Douglas, Australia, but he's also toured across Europe. In Auckland, New Zealand, he played for a post-Pink Floyd concert party.
"We were in Auckland, New Zealand, playing outside with battery powered amps and a drum set," Ebeling said. "As part of our ritual, we'd always open our set thanking Pink Floyd for opening up for us. We didn't know they were in the audience getting a kick out of it."
He said Pink Floyd guitarist, David Gilmour, stopped him
as he was passing his hat through the crowd and asked him if he wanted to play his after-show party.
"I said, 'yeah, sure.' Here's our number," Ebeling said. "It turns out it was David Gilmour, and I didn't know it was him until I saw him on stage that night."
Despite his relative fame in Australia and New Zealand, where he said it was easy for an American to be a star, he said he was drawn back to Lawrence, where his family and friends were. One member of the Late for Dinner band, drummer Paul Matthews, has been a friend since high school. Ben Shult rounds out the trio as the bass player.
Ebeling said he was happy to be back in Lawrence playing music, and although he wouldn't mind living the posh life, he was content where he was.
"I have fun here," he said.
"I've been gone so long. I'd like to keep doing everything I've been doing, just on a nicer level."

CBS series for next summer based on show with tragic end
The Associated Press
Survivor, a CBS program that will strand contestants on a remote island to compete for a $1 million prize, has been promoted by its producer as putting only the players' egos at risk.
But a Swedish version of the show began with a dark incident: In the initial season of Expedition Robinson in 1997, the first contest to be declared a loser committed suicide a month after returning home.
The network that aired the highly popular program in Sweden denied any responsibility, but the man's widow blamed the show then and still does. CBS said it believed the program was not a factor.
"There is no evidence to suggest a connection between the young man's tragedy and the show," CBS representative Chris Ender said Monday in Los Angeles.
Survivor, scheduled to air next summer, will bring 16 American men and women together on a South China Sea island, with the promise of $1 million for the last contest remaining on Palau Tiga off Malaysia's Borneo coast.
The group is whittled down by secret ballot, with members voting every three days to expel a fellow contestant. When the final two contests are left, those most recently voted
out of the game will decide who ends up the winner.
Contestants will discover why they were blackbailed when the 13-episode series airs.
Expedition Robinson, which airs on the Swedish public broadcaster SVT, began filming June 1, 1997, in Malaysia, with Sinisa Savija the first one kicked out by his team.
"He was a glad and stable person when he went away, and when he came back he told me. "They are going to cut away the good things I did and make me look like a fool," Nermina Savija said.
Mrs. Savija appealed to SVT to pull the series after his death; instead, footage of her husband was largely edited out of the program.
"He was aware of the conditions," Pia Marquard, the then-head of SVT's entertainment division said in 1997. "When you enter something like this you have to take some personal responsibility, too."
Survivor contestants will be scrutinized by medical professionals throughout their participation. CBS' Ender said.
"The safety of the participants will be paran-mount," he said. "All the contestants will have background checks, medical screenings and psychological evaluations. We will make sure everybody headed for Malaysia is ready for the experience."
Millennium eve doesn't merit traveling for many Americans
The Associated Press
ANAHEIM, Calif. — It's 79 days and counting till the clock strikes 2000, and for all the predictions of a party for the ages, there's still plenty of room at the inn.
Hotel rooms, though pricey, are still available at such New Year's carousing headquarters as Times Square, New Orleans and the Disney parks in Orlando, Fla., and Anaheim.
Cabins remain open for millennium ocean cruises. Revelers still can line up a limo in Las Vegas or a baby sitter in Manhattan.
Many travelers may be in a holding pattern, hoping exorbitant hotel prices will drop as the new year approaches. Some fear to travel because of possible problems from the Year 2000 bug, in which some computers may fail to properly recognize the change of century.
Others want to spend New Year's quietly with family and friends. And some have a sense of millennium malaise, viewing the Year 2000 as just another flip of a calendar page.
"New Year's is overrated, even this one," said Tanyah Hotovek of San Francisco, who plans to be at home. "It turns midnight, it's all over."
Surveys by Travel Weekly, a trade publication, and the Travel Industry Association found about four-fifths of Americans did not
plan to travel this New Year's. In the Travel Weekly survey, 43 percent of respondents who did not plan trips said the millennium meant nothing to them.
"People think the Earth is ending, but it's going to come and go real quick," said Chris Gibson of Paramus, N.J., who plans to jam with some musician friends on New Year's Eve. "The next day it'll be back to the same thing as any other year. Trying to remember to write 2000 instead of 1999."
No one's calling New Year's a bust. But expectations of a book-early mentality among millennium revelers have faded.
"There was maybe an attitude of get your champagne now because you won't get any later," said Beverly Gianna of the New Orleans Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau. "But reality has set in."
Reality is that travelers are not making millennium plans much faster than for a typical New Year's. Some people planning big blowouts booked early, while others simply remain undecided about what they'll be doing.
"If you can afford to be on the Concorde flying around the International Date Line, you've booked that already," said Erik Elvejord, a spokesman for Holland America cruise line.
Staying put, though, will be a favorite choice for many Americans, she noted.

Community Mercantile overcomes competition, survives to see 25th year

ampbell's soup isn't sold at this grocery store. Neither is Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.
For 25 years, The Community Mercantile, or the Merc, has catered to more selective diets with foods such as hormone-free milk, baked organic cookies and lactose-free cheese.
Talk to the long-time employees of the Merc, 901 Mississippi St., and it becomes apparent that, as the store celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, they are not only pleased with its thriving business, but also thrilled just to be in open.
Before the Wild Oats Market closed in 1996, the Merc had struggled to compete with the chain's lower prices on the same types of goods.
"If Wild Oats had held on just a little longer, we might have been the ones to fold," said Mike Rundle, who has worked at the Merc since its birth and is now its membership coordinator. Rundle said that unusually loyal patronage and employee dedication were crucial to keeping the Merc's doors open.
"A lot of staff took pay cuts or took on more responsibilities and our members supported an increase in dues
from $10 to $75 a year," Rundle said.
"The first store at 615 Massachusetts was a rough-hewn, hippie-atmosphere place that functioned by volunteers." Rundle said. "To shop you had to volunteer, and everything was done by consensus."
While anyone can shop at the store, dues-paying members accumulate "points" as they shop and then receive a proportionate share of the store's surplus every year.
The Mere's current cooperative system has evolved from the one started in 1974.
Eventually a board was formed along with the Community Mercantile Credit Union, and the store moved to its present location at 9th and Mississippi streets, allowing it to more than double the size of its business.
The Merc continues to expand its services with programs such as the Rolling Prarie Farmers Alliance. The Alliance runs an organic subscription service from which customers can order specific produce and beef products to be picked up the following week.
The service runs every Monday from 4 to 7 p.m., May through October.
"I look at those vegetables," said Alliance coordinator
Wayne White, pointing to the heaps of subscriptions ready for pick-up. "They're greener, more appetizing and tastier than anything you'll find in the supermarket produce aisle. And we're all people with a social conscience doing this. It's not primarily a money-making thing."
This year, the Merc is saying thank-you to the community with monthly give-aways to celebrate the anniversary. KLWN (1320 AM) will broadcast live this Friday from the Merc deli, with the Merc mascot, "Captain Carrot." Those who spot the carrot can call the radio station to win prizes, including cordless phones, tickets to Lied Center shows and dinner for two at various restaurants.
The festivities will culminate Oct. 25 with a community party at Liberty Hall featuring blues artist Kelley Hunt. The concert will reunite its founders and the people that helped make the community cooperative a success.
The store's commitment to the community is reflected in one of its first slogans, "For people, not for profit," said Chuck Magerl, who managed the Merc from 1976 to 1986. Magerl, who now owns Free State Brewery, said that food stores in Lawrence during the '70s didn't offer specialty foods, such as organic products.
"To get specialty products, we had to band together to buy from wholesalers," Magerl said. "A lot of it was a grass-roots desire to provide food to people in a way that wasn't being served by local supermarkets."
The Merc has continued to evolve since then, offering new outreach services, such as Nutrition Education, run by Lawrence resident Nancy O'Connor.
"I go to schools and give free presentations with snacks for the whole class," O'Connor said. "I do things like teach them how to make soda so they know what's actually in it and what they're spending their money on."
The Mrc works with both local and out-of-state suppliers to supply organic and other specialty foods. Cooperating with local suppliers - such as the Farmers Alliance - both lowers prices and increases farmers profits by cutting out middle-man distributors.
Because organically-grown foods and products such as lactose-free cheese or hormone-free milk are more labor intensive and have smaller productions, goods at the Merc tend to cost more. Rundle said. But customers are apparently willing to bear the extra cost.
"I like supporting local farmers and the quality of the food is worth the cost," said Amamda Kruenegel, Leawood senior. "I've read a lot about the chemicals that are used on crops and the stuff I buy here is definitely better for you."
Organic fare
The term organic is only as good as the certification agency that oversees farms.The standards followed by the Rolling Prairie Farmers Alliance include:
- no synthetic fertilizers
- no herbicides or pesticides
- only moderate use of rotano, a natural pesticide that can be toxic if overused
manures composted for at least a year to eliminate bacteria (manure that stinks has bacteria)
using only soil that has been free from said elements for more than a year with meat and dairy products, using no hormones or antibiotics, which may yield resistant strains of bacteria, such as salmonella.

Players ready to rumble on home turf
By Mike Miller sports@kansan.com Kansan writerspritter
Homecoming was two weeks ago for the Jayhawks, but for the 42 players from Texas on the Kansas roster, Saturday's game against Texas A&M is the real homecoming.
"Everybody on the team from Texas circled this game on their calendar a long time
ago," said tight end David Hurst, an Austin,
Texas, freshman.
“It’s hard to get tickets for everybody that wants to come,” he said.
For the last few weeks, most of the Texas natives — including starting running backs David Winbush, Moran Norris, safety Kareem High, tight end Jason Gulley, linebacker Chaz Murphy and fastball Tyrus Fontenot — have been trying to scrape together tickets for friends and family.
Tickets are a precious commodity for players. Some get more tickets than others, but it's always a rush to get enough.
"I'm trying to be reasonable. I only have 15 tickets." Hurst said.
"You just trade with other players."
Norris said.
"I put in the word this summer that I wanted tickets, and started asking for them a couple of games ago."
Guard Jason Stevenson, a Killeen, Texas, native has gathered 28 tickets and said that he was excited to see friends whom he went to high school with. They talk trash

CHAIRS ONLY
The Kansas volleyball team will get a shot at derailing a runaway train tonight.
The Jayhawks, 13-4 overall and 4-2 in the Big 12 Conference, head to Manhattan, Kan., to challenge the No. 13 Kansas State Wildcats at 7 tonight at Ahearn Fieldhouse.
K-State is in first place in the Big 12 and is the only undefeated team in the conference. The Wildcats have won seven-straight matches and have beaten the Jayhawks eight-straight times.
"They're as hot as anybody in the country right now," said Kansas coach Ray Bechard. "I don't think we can go as far as to say the same thing about us, but we are playing as well as we have since I've been here."
Therefore this match will be a showdown between two of the hottest teams in the Big 12.
The Jayhawks are on the brink of the best season in school history having already tied or surpassed the win total of eight former Kansas teams. The Jayhawks are tied for third in the Big 12 and have won three straight conference matches, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Baylor.
"We've been in some situations in the last three or four matches where things have gotten a little bit tough, and we haven't panicked," Bechard said.
K-State, 12-2 and 6-0, has been clawing teams on its
way to first place in the Big 12. During the Wildcats seven-match winning streak, they have scored upsets on the road against nationally-ranked Nebraska and Texas—two teams the Jayhawks lost to this season. Going to Manhattan and leaving with a victory won't be easy.
"I think we just have to believe that we can do it." Kansas sophomore setter Molly LaMere said. "They've been playing so well this year, but we've picked it up a lot too. We just have to play our own game and worry about our side of the net."
The Wildcats are led by senior outside hitter Dawn Cady, who has 251 kills on the season. K-State also boasts one of the best setters in the nation, sophomore Disney Bronnenberg.
Kansas is 31-39 all-time against K-State, which includes two losses last season. The Jayhawks were defeated 3-1 in Manhattan and were swept 3-0 in Lawrence.
The Jayhawks will try to make a turn around tonight.
"It'll take an excellent game plan that is well executed and just a tremendous amount of determination." Bechard said.
Volleyball notes
■ Kansas has hit .370 or above as a team in two straight matches. The Jayhawks set a school record by hitting .377 in a four-game match at Oklahoma last Wednesday, then came home to hit .370 in a sweep of Baylor on Saturday.
Record-setting week for soccer
By Chris Wristen
Kansan sportswriter
Hoogveld, a forward from Calgary, Alberta, was named the Big 12 Conference soccer player of the week after leading the Jayhawks to two conference victories last weekend. She is only the third player in Kansas soccer history to accomplish this feat.
Many Kansas soccer players stood out this past weekend as various team landmarks were achieved, but none stood taller than sophomore Natalie Hoogveld.
"She deserved it," said Coach Mark Francis. "Since we moved her up front she's done very well. She started slow at first, but since the Baylor game she's really picked it up."
Hoogweld tied a school record for goals in a game when she scored two in Kansas' 4-2 win against Oklahoma State last Friday and added another when she scored the game-winner in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Oklahoma. She is currently the team
Junior midfielder Meghann Haven rewrote the record books by notching the game-winning goal against Oklahoma State and tallying two assists in the game. With that four-point performance (two points for a goal, one point for an assist) she moved into a tie with senior Cynthia Dahle for the school record in career points with 23. In addition, she ran her assists this season to seven and career total to 11, both new school records.
Many other Jayhawks stepped into the limelight as well posting record numbers.
leader in conference scoring with three goals and is third on the team in total points with eight.
Although pleased with the accomplishment, Haven isn't thinking much of it.
“It’s not really a goal that I set, but I have been playing hard, giving my all, and I've been given an opportunity to play more.” Haven said.
In addition, junior Colleen Colvin continues to climb in the career scoring charts. By notching three

assists last weekend, she climbed into third on the career assists list with eight and third on the career points list with 22. Colvin led the team in scoring her freshman year with 14 points and has earned eight so far this year.
Some team records were accomplished as well. The Jayhawks set a school record for wins in a season (eight), most consecutive home wins (five) and most consecutive conference wins (three). The team also tied records for home wins in a season (five), conference wins (three) and assists in a season (24).

Wildcat fans take exception to Friday story
Last Friday, I wrote a column in the traditional Kansas-Kansas State exchange of rival school columns. I told K-Staters that their team should be criticized for their cupcake non-conference schedule and that the "PowerCat" logo wasn't as cool as they think it was and will one day blind them with its true pure ugliness.
It was, of course, in good fun:
The Collegian was kind enough to print my e-mail address with the column. Imagine this scenario: I'm checking my e-mail around lunchtime on Friday. I've already received some 30 hate messages from K-State supporters. As I read through the e-mails, most calling me words not fit to print in this
column, a new message box steadily popped up. It would read "Attention! New mail. Regarding: Seth Jones — DIE SCUM!!!" Or something to that effect.
Anyway, I wanted to share with you some of the funnier e-mails, and some of the more disturbing e-mails.

Hey, I'm not gay, but I am proud to be a student at a school that anges Fried Phelps and his homophobic church more than every other school in Kansas.
Many of the e-mails attacked me supposedly because I called the Wildcats "Cocky." I actually never used the word and could care less if they were cocky. The word "cocky" was in the headline, which was written by a staff-member of the Collegian. Possibly there are some people in-house at the Collegian that think the team is cocky.

Kansas State unsure of Murphy's return
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Kansas State still doesn't know how long it will take running back Frank Murphy to return from ankle surgery, Coach Bill Snyder said yesterday.
BIG 12 FOOTBALL
"It will probably be next week before the doctors will determine not when he'll be back, but his amount of progress — how
advanced his rehab work will be," Snyder said at his weekly news conference. Murphy, the No. 9 Wildcats' leading rusher with 450
yards in four games, undewent surgery last week after spraining his left ankle in a 35-17 win against No. 19 Texas on Oct. 2.
It was his second injury of the year, after he broke his right foot four weeks before the Wildcats' season opener against Temple on Sept. 11. He recovered in time to come off the bench in that game, rushing 13 times for 149 yards and two touchdowns in a 40-0 win.
But David Allen, who started last week in a 50-9 win against Kansas and also will start Saturday against Utah State, expects that Murphy will be pushing himself as hard as he can.

The NHL Players Association grievance was filed Sept. 23 on Krupp's behaff. It challenges his suspension dating to August for failing to turn in medical records of back problems that sidelined him much of last season.
The 34-year-old Krupp agreed to release the records last month. But he remains suspended because the Red Wings found out he may have gone dog sledding while recovering from a herniated disc injury. At the same time, he has complained that persisting pain kept him from returning to the lineup.
HOCKEY
DETROIT — Detroit Red Wings defenseman Uwe Krupp has filed a grievance for the $12.3 million remaining on his contract after the team suspended him without pay for failing to turn in medical records.
While challenging the suspension's validity under the collective bargaining agreement, the grievance also takes issue with the Red Wings' denial of reasonable and necessary medical care, a Krupp attorney said.

DALLAS — Joe Nieuwendyk, the MVP of the Stanley Cup playoffs, signed a three-year contract extension yesterday that would keep him with the Dallas Stars through the 2002-03 season.
Playoff MVP signs three-year extension
Nieuwendyk led the Stars with 39 goals and 69 points in 1997-98, then suffered a severe knee injury early in the playoffs. His absence was felt when the Stars were eliminated in the Western Conference finals.
The 33-year-old Niewiemydk centers Dallas' second line, playing behind a unit headed by Mike Modano and Brett Hull.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Nieuwendyk, who would have been a free agent after this season, had rejected an offer during the summer. The night of the season opener, Stars general manager Bob Gainey said negotiations with Nieuwendyk would wait until next summer.
Tyson-Norris fight changed to 10 rounds
LAS VEGAS — No one bothered telling Orlin Norris that his fight with Mike Tyson was no longer scheduled for 12 rounds.
Maybe it's because not many people thought Norris would be around long enough for it to matter.
The biggest fight of Norris' 14-year pro career was changed from a 12-round fight for an obscure heavyweight title to a 10-rounder after Norris already had signed for the bout.

Playing in Texas is an attraction for recruits because they look at the Texas schools Kansas plays in the Big 12 Conference — Baylor, Texas A&M, Texas and Texas Tech—as opportunities to see their families. Otherwise they have to wait for Christmas.
"Summer's not too long and I might go home for Thanksgiving, but that's one of the main reasons I came to play here, because we get to play Texas schools," Hurst said.
Coach Terry Allen uses that as a recruiting tool, but knows that the best recruiting tool would be a win against 13th-ranked Texas A&M — or a game that isn't a blowout.
"A good performance by the Jayhawks would help us in the recruiting area," Allen said.

'Hawks fly past Tigers in tourney
By Doug Pacey sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Three weeks ago, the Missouri men's golfers beat Kansas on the Jayhawk's home course.
Yesterday Kansas got even.
"This was a good win for us," said Kansas coach Ross Randall. "Missouri won our tournament a few weeks ago and it was nice to return the favor."
Kansas won the Purina/Missouri Classic in St. Charles, Mo., edging Louisiana-Lafayette by three strokes, 852-855. Missouri finished in fifth place, six strokes behind Kansas.
Senior All-American Ryan Vermeer took medalist honors at the tournament for the third consecutive year.
Vermeer came from one stroke behind in the final round and shot a three-under-pair 68, taking the title from Nebraska's Seth Porter. 207-206.
"Ryan struggled a bit in the first round, but he stuck with it," Randall said. "He came in here wanting to defend his title, and he put himself in the situation to do that."
Vermeer shot one-above par in the first round but followed with a four-iner in the second and was in good position to retain his title.
The Jayhawks trailed California by three stokes after the first round of play on Monday.
"I was a little disappointed in our first round," Randall said. "We made a nice comeback in the second round, though."
Senior Jake Jayne finished tied for 11th place for the Jayhawks after

Everything seemed to be going right for Ashley Gorham — until injury struck.
Knee injury sidelines defender
By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com Kansan sports
Gorham, a junior defender on the Kansas soccer team, broke her kneecp this summer during a soccer game with her club team, and is sitting out this season with a medical redshirt.
Gorham split time on the Jayhawk defense for the past two seasons until junior Kylie Watts went down with a knee injury against Texas Tech. Gorham was called upon to fill the void by joining the starting lineup, which allowed her to emerge as a solid defender.
"I guess I played pretty well," Gorham said with a laugh. "Our record was undefeated so I don't think I screwed up too bad."
Her on-field success continued in the spring when Coach Mark Francis arrived. Gorham's play improved, along with that of the rest of her teammates, and the Jayhawks posted an undefeated record.
Then came the injury
While playing for her club team in her hometown of Bellevue, Neb., Gorham collided with another player. "My foot was planted, and we knocked knees," Gorham said. "I stepped up to clear (the ball), and she ran right into my knee."
The result was a broken kneecap and the loss of muscle in her knee. Gorham has undergone months of rehabilitation to improve range of motion and
strength in the knee in efforts to rebuild her muscle. She is ahead of schedule in her recovery process but will not be able to return this season.
Gorham had hoped to return for Friday's game when the Jayhawks journey to her home state of Nebraska to battle the No. 4 Cornhuskers. She won't be able to play, but will be driving to Lincoln to support her team.
"Against Nebraska, it's been a game I've always stepped up to play in." Gorham said. "I'm going to go up and watch, but it's really frustrating. That's the game I originally wanted to come back at, but I decided to redshirt."
Gorham attends every practice but has been forced to sit out and watch, which she says is one of the hardest things she's ever had to do.

“It's so depressing and frustrating to see my team out there and not be a part of it,” Gorham said. “I don't like watching because I can't do anything.”
It's even tougher that her team is experiencing great success with Francis, and she hasn't been able to contribute to that success on the field.
“It’s the coach that I actually want to play for, and that’s why it’s so frustrating,” she said. “He’s new this year, and I want to play — but I can’t.”

Francis is pleased with her efforts at recovery.
The time away from the game has given Gorham a chance to reflect, and she said she had learned a lot from her injury and that she believed it would help her when she is able to play again.
"My attitude is going to be a lot better just because from sitting out I've realized how big a part soccer has been on my life," Gorham said.

Flag football teams trying to claim intramural glory
Championship title to be decided Sunday
By Jason Walker

Kansas Sportwriter
By Jason Walker
The fall intramural season is winding down, and that means it's tournament time.
The flag football tournament teams have been whittled down to a remaining few in each division, and competition in the games is heating up.
The championship game in each division of flag football will be played Sunday, so this final week is the time to shine for the teams still in the tournament.
Jake Carmichael, Mulvane
senior and member of Beta 1 in the men's greek division, said that an intramural title would mean a lot to his team and his fraternity.
"We've been practicing together since August," he said. "We're kind of stressed to do well and make a good showing."
Carmichael said that every game was important to his team,
but that they were looking to go the distance in the tournament.
"It all depends on how well we play as a team and not as individuals," he said. "It's always our goal to be the last team playing."
The men's open division also is getting down to a handful of teams that still don't have a tournament loss.
Mike Keller, Wichita senior, is
a member of TFC, a men's open team in the hunt for the intramural title.
Keller said that since most of the members of his team were seniors, this year's tournament meant more than usual.
"It's our last year, so we really want to win," he said. "We won two years ago and still have lots of the same guys on the team, so
we have a pretty good shot of winning."
He said that most of his team played football in high school, sc intramurals were fun to help remember past gridiron glory.
"For a lot of us former athletes, it's all we have left," he said. "It's our way of competing and playing football still."

LPGA celebrates 50th anniversary, looks on past accomplishments
The success of the Ladies Professional Golf Association Tour too often is judged by the wrong numbers.
Never mind that Karrie Webb is soaring toward $1.5 million this year or that a record 78 players have earned more than $100,000. The nagging question is why the LPGA purses pale in comparison to the men.
The LPGA sanctioned 38 events this year on four continents but seems to make headlines only when it loses a tournament.
So what that the 240 hours of television time is more than any other women's sport? Critics want to know why more tournaments are not broadcast by the networks.
Maybe those critics should spend more time with Patty Berg.
A winner of 15 major championships and 57 tournaments, Berg measures success by the number that matters the most: The LPGA Tour is about to celebrate its 50th anniversary.
"Fifty years! That's marvelous," the 81-year-old Berg said from her home in Fort Myers, Fla. "It just goes to show what happens when you work together and have a vision that this was going to be one of the best organizations — and it is."
Indeed, the LPGA Tour belongs to Berg, Alice Bauer, Bettye Danoff, Marlene Hagge, Betty Jameson, Marilyn Smith, Shirley Spork and Louise Suggs.
Of the 12 members who chartered the LPGA Tour in 1950, these eight living founders will gather in New York on Oct. 19 to help begin a year of celebration for the longest-running women's sports association.
These are the women who help LPGA Tour commissioner Ty Votaw appreciate how far women's golf has come and make him optimistic about the next half-century.
"I'm not sure I would have had as much optimism that it would have lasted 50 years," Votaw said. "At the time, society was not sending many signals that women could or should be professional athletes in a touring sense.
"What would have tempered some of that pessimism
were the people involved and that indomitable spirit they had in bringing the issue to a head," he said. "The LPGA Tour has stood the test of time."
It wasn't easy.
Consider the average week of a touring pro. Most arrive at a tournament no later than Tuesday, get in a practice round, play in a pro-am, give interviews to a half-dozen reporters and cash a check at the end of the week that could be worth as much as $100,000.
Jameson and her pals also used to show up at tournaments a couple of days early, albeit for a much different purpose.
"We had to set the pins," said Jameson, 80, who lives in Delray Beach, Fla. "Someone else marked the course. We did all the running of the tournament."
On Sunday night, they stayed late to compile the scores and send them off to Western Union. They were more than just performers. They were press agents, tournament organizers, rules officials. Berg recalled one tournament in which a player — head of the rules committee that year — had to stop playing in the middle of her round to make a ruling.
"They had to do this on their own." Votaw said. "I would equate it to trying to dunk a basketball from the standing position. And they reached pretty high."
The inaugural LPGA season featured nine tournaments with a total purse of $50,000. The LPGA Tour had 43 tournaments on the schedule, including off-season events, worth more than $36 million in prize money.
Thanks to founders such as Berg, Jameson and Suggs, women with a love for the game have a tour they can call their own. Thanks to Hall of Famers such as Mickey Wright, Betsy Rawls and Kathy Whitworth, they have a standard for excellence.
"We've come a long way," Jameson said. "I'm glad I could be part of the history. I wouldn't exchange that for anything."
It's time to put away the yardsticks and break out the party favors. It's time to stop the incessant, unfair comparisons to the PGA Tour and begin to measure the LPGA Tour on its own merits.
By that standard, the LPGA has been an enormous success.

NEW YORK — The New York Yankees were hoping their AL championship series opponent would come into town hurting. They didn't expect to have their own worries to deal with.
Boston arrives exhausted; O'Neill in doubt for game
The Associated Press
As the Boston Red Sox arrived yesterday, New York hoped to find out whether Paul O'Neill's fractured rib would keep him out of the league championship series, which starts at Yankee Stadium tonight.
"He gave himself a good workout today," said Yankees manager Joe Torre. "He said he felt pretty good, probably felt as good as he did in the early part of the Texas series."
O'Neill, who hasn't played since Thursday, took batting practice, along with running and outfield drills.
O'Neill was injured Oct. 2 when he crashed into a low fence chasing a foul ball at Tampa Bay, then went 1-for-4 in each of the first two games of the AL playoffs against Texas.
Torre benched him for the clinch-
er, convinced the injury was hampering O'Neill. The team sent the 36-year-old outfielder to Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center on Monday for new X-rays and an MRI, which showed a small fracture of the 10th rib on his right side.
"Sometimes, I guess, it shows up later," O'Neill said.
Boston, which finished four games back in the AL East and won the wild card, has a different problem going into the best-of-7 series. Pedro Martinez, who won Monday night's 12-8 thriller with six hitless innings of relief, won't be available to start until Game 3 at Fenway Park on Saturday.
Kent Mercker starts the opener against Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez and Pedro's brother, Ramon, starts against David Cone in Game 2.
"I guess I got the start by default," Mercker said.
When the series goes to Fenway Park on Saturday, Roger Clemens will start for the Yankees against Pedro Martinez in Game 3.
Rivals ready for battle
Red Sox, Yankees tussle for league title
NEW YORK — Beantown vs. the Big Apple. Baseball's best rivalry is about to resume with, oh, only about 80 years or so of history coming along for the ride.
The tension between the Red Sox and Yankees began innocently enough, with the sale in 1920 of an oddly shaped outfitter so that Boston owner Harry Frazee could fund the Broadway show "No. No, Nanette."
Then, Babe Ruth began hitting home runs and it became "Oh, No, Harry."
the, Curse of the Bambino is a well-established part of baseball lore, the belief that by selling one the game's first stars for cold, hard cash, the Red Sox violated some sacred trust. They've been paying for it ever
since.
Now, the rivalry will be resumed with nothing more crucial than the American League championship at stake. One more chance for the Red Sox to exact some revenge on a franchise that has won 24 World Series' since the sale of Ruth, which is 24 more than Boston.
In 1976, the bad feelings erupted with a brawl on the field after Lou Piniella slid into Carlton Fisk and came up punching. Boston pitcher Bill Lee got slammed to the field in the melee and wound up with a cracked collarbone.
From Babe and his 60 home runs in 1927 to Bucky and his Green Monster division-winning homer in 1978, New York has delighted in punishing Boston.
That happened in the serenity of May, not the pressure cooker of October.
Mets lose to Braves in opener
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Once again, the Atlanta Braves dealt the New York Mets a dose of reality.
As soon as the Mets fully regained their confidence following a seven-game slide started three weeks ago in Atlanta, the Braves again left the Mets wondering if they'd ever catch up to them.
rings a ever catch up to them. Greg Maddux neutralized New York's offense and Atlanta got timely enough hitting to beat the Mets 4-2 yesterday in the first game of the NL championship series.
It is a pattern that keeps repeating itself for the Mets. They came to Turner Field on Sept. 21, one game behind Atlanta and full of confidence that they finally could dethrone the Braves in the NL East.
Instead, New York was swept in the three-game series and had to scramble to even make the post-season by winning a one-game playoff with Cincinnati for the wild card.
After beating Arizona 3-1 in the first round, the Mets once again felt like the team that had the best record in the majors for more than two months this season.
"It feels so much different," Mets general manager Steve Phillips said before the game about the team's attitude. "It's my sense that the guys are much more loose and much more relaxed this time."
They might be relaxed, but they still can't hit Braves pitching and can't beat Atlanta.
New York has been held to three or fewer runs 10 times in 13 games with Atlanta this year and lost 19 of 25 over the last two seasons. Atlanta has won 14 of 15 against the Mets at Turner Field.
"We're the proverbial kid on the block who is maybe trying to work out and get stronger and do something different to finally beat up the bully," Mets catcher Mike Piazza said before the series. "Hopefully, this will be that time."

'Huskers silence critics with blowout wins
Nebraska overcomes early-season lethargy
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
The general feeling amongst the Big 12 Conference media one month ago was that the Nebraska Cornhuskers' turbulent season was finished.
They couldn't have been more wrong; Nebraska's season hadn't even started.
After all, on Sept. 15 the team was battling through a quarterback controversy and highly publicized running back DeAngelo Evans had just quit the team because of a lack of playing time. The turmoil was followed by an unconvincing 20-13 victory against Southern Mississippi, and for the first time in years, there was a noticeable chink in the Nebraska armor.
This week, the Cornhuskers find them
But a funny thing happened on the way to Nebraska's imminent demise: they kept on winning.
selves ranked No. 3 in the nation in both major polls and — perhaps more importantly — appear to have left September's turbulence behind them and have their eyes set on a crucial stretch of the Big 12 schedule.
The Cornhuskers followed their lethargic performance against Southern Mississippi with three blowout victories, including a 49-14 victory on Saturday against a much-improved Iowa State team. Nebraska has the nation's third-ranked defense, and finally has settled on a primary quarterback in Eric Crouch. Nebraska coach Frank Solich is happier knowing his team is playing like it should.
"There's not a lot to smile about sometimes," Solich said. "But I'm really pleased. We're heading in the right direction, and the meat of our schedule is still ahead of us."
will be a true test of their team.
Next up, the Cornhuskers face their first tough test of the season when they travel to Texas on Oct. 23. That game is followed by tough games against Texas A&M, Kansas State and Colorado. While Nebraska is pleased with its early-season results, the Cornhuskers know that the next six weeks
"We have to get back and really focus the next two weeks for Texas," Crouch said. "The coaches are doing a great job of preparing us, and we are proving that we can play with the best teams in the country."
In other news, Oklahoma State coach Bob
Simmons told the media before Saturday's game against Texas Tech that there was no reason to panic about his team's mediocre 2.2 start and offensive drought without injured quarterback Tony Lindsay
N
hiker
"I still have a lot of confidence in this football team, and one thing that they have to understand is that there in no panic in me, there is no panic in my staff, and there should not be any panic in this team," Simmons said. "The reality of it is that if you play better and execute better, you'll have a chance to win."
The Cowboys proved Simmons' right on the field Saturday when they pounded the Red Raiders 41-21. Just as vital as the victory was the fact that the Cowboys' offense, which had amassed only 45 yards in the first half of last week's game against Nebraska, piled up 452 yards against Texas Tech. The offensive explosion was a welcome break for Oklahoma State, which has had trouble moving the ball since Lindsay went down in the Cowboys' season opener.
B. J. Tiger and former Kansas recruit Ben Bowling both have shouldered the offensive load in Lindsay's absence, and Simmons is growing increasingly pleased with his youth quarterbacks.
"The opponents respect Tiger's ability to scramble," Simmons said. "Obviously, when you get a kid like him, and Ben has that same ability, it gives you another weapon in the backfield."
As for Lindsay, the Cowboys will learn sometime this week about a timetable for his return. Oklahoma State has an off week this week, then battles Kansas State on Oct. 23 in Stillwater, Okla.

Texas A&M fullback gets comfortable in Aggie offense
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — It didn't take long for Texas A&M fans to discover huge freshman fullback Ja'Mar Toombs last season. It was hard not to notice him.
Toombs made all of the typical freshman mistakes and then some, but fans liked the way he threw his 265-pound body into tacklers, and soon they were chanting an extended version of his name, "Tooombolms," after his runs.
Toombs gained 422 yards last season, the ninth best performance ever by an Aggie freshman. He's returned this season a lot smarter and more settled in his role on the team.
"When I was messing up early, I was afraid the fans would hate me," he said. "When they started calling out 'Toooombs,' I appreciated the gesture."
"He is improving all the time," offensive coordinator Steve Kraghorpe. "Last year, he came in as a true freshman and really had to improve his blocking, and he's done that.
"We have been able to put the ball in his hands in different ways at fullback and tail-
back and even in the passing game too."
Toombs is the Aggies' leading rusher going into Saturday's game against the University of Kansas at Kyle Field with 208 yards on 47 carries and three touchdowns.
Coach R.C. Slocu Toombs' progress as a blocker
Coach R.C. Slocum is more interested in Toombs' progress
"He's getting better, but he's still not what I'd call a good blocker," Slocum said. "He was a tailback in high school
ATM
Ian didn't have to block. He likes playing tailback. We tell him if he blocks so many plays, we'll let him play tailback."
Tooms is down to 257 pounds this season and likes the backlash plays he gets to run.
"I like it because you can see more what is going on," Tooms said. "It's easier to read the defense and cut. At fullback, you are down and you just drive right into the line.
"At tailback, you get to be seven yards back and get a running start."
Lockett on path for success with Chiefs
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - With every pass Kevin Lockett catches for Kansas City, history repeats itself.
As he finally emerges as a bona fide NFL wide receiver, it's a history the one-time Oklahoma reject loves being condemned to repeat.
First they said he was too small to play major college football, and he became AllBig Eight. Then they said he was about to fail with the Chiefs. Now he's become a key part of the offense.
"I think it's slowly coming," said Lockett, who has caught four passes in each of the past three games. "I'm making the most of my opportunities."
When Lockett graduated from high school in Tulsa, Okla., the only thing the studious, willow kid wanted was to play for his beloved Oklahoma Sooners. But Oklahoma coaches thought he was too small at 6-foot, 145 pounds. So they paid no attention when Bill Snyder, plotting to build Kansas State into a national power, signed him to a letter of intent.
During the next four years, as Lockett erased most of the Wildcats receiving records and led them to their first-ever Jan.
1 bowl game, some of his finest games happened to come against Oklahoma.
"Just a coincidence," he once said with a twinkle in his eye.
Although the Chiefs drafted him in the second round in 1997, he carried the same too small rap into the NFL. He caught only one pass his rookie season and hardly played his second year as well. Then last summer in training camp, when first-year Coach Gunther Cunningham hardly ever mentioned Lockett's name when discussing how the Chiefs were taking shape, his time with Kansas City seemed to be near an end.
"Being a local guy, I think there was too much pressure on him," Cunningham said. "And I tried to keep the pressure off him by not commenting on him."
Little did anybody realize it was all part of Cunningham's plan.
It must have worked. As former Pro Bowler Andre Rison fades in the Chiefs' plans, Lockett and fourth-year wide receiver Joe Horn have both begun to thrive. Lockett has proven particularly adept at getting open when quarterback Elvis Grbac needs to hit a pass on third down.
“There are still times that I haven't made big plays, but as long as Elvis has confidence in me, I'm on the right path,” Lockett said.
Rams thrower makes name known in NFL
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — Move aside Mark McGwire, there's a new sports celebrity in St. Louis.
Kurt Warner was a complete unknown outside of Arena Football and NFL Europe before this season. Warner has 14 touchdown passes in four games for the undefeated Rams. It's extremely early, but he's on pace to smash Dan Marino's NFL record of 48, and he has four more touchdowns than Peyton Manning of the Colts, the next closest player.
And just like McGwire, who hit 65 homers this year, Warner is proficient at the long ball. Already, he has completions of 60, 51, 46, 49, 45 and 42 yards.
Suffice to say Warner, 28, who makes the league minimum of $254,000, stopped being an unknown a few games ago. Not that the homework helped the 49ers, who surrendered five touchdown passes Sunday as the Rams (4-0) ended a 17-game losing streak against San Francisco with a 42-20 victory.
"It doesn't matter where the guy came from, it's where he's at now," 48ers cornerback Mark McMillian said. "He obviously knows what he's doing. People know who he is, and they knew before this game."
So far, success hasn't changed him. Warner helped a restaurant delivery person haul food to the coaches' offices Monday morning.
Warner's touchdown total is a record for a quarterback making his first four starts, eclipsing the 12 by Mark Rypien in 1988.
For the year he's completed 72.6 percent of his passes, and his accuracy the past two weeks — 37-for-44 — have stretched the bounds of credulity.
"I always had confidence in him," said Coach Dick Vermell. "Now, I have blind confidence in him. Now, when he throws an incomplete pass it's like, 'My gosh, what's wrong with you?'
Warner leads the league with a 136.0 efficiency rating, well above that of the normal, average. Super Bowl-winning quarterback. The league record is 112.8, which is held by Steve Young of the 49ers in 1994.

Suns guard retires after long career
Johnson led team despite injuries
The Associated Press
PHOENIX — Kevin Johnson, one of the NBA's most prolific point guards, retired yesterday after an 11-year career.
Johnson, who sat out last season, revealed his decision in a news release from the Phoenix Suns, the team he led for 10 1/2 seasons before leaving as a free agent in 1998.
"I thank the Phoenix Suns for
making my playing experience memorable and for helping me accomplish everything I could have dreamed of, with the exception of an NBA championship," said the 33-year-old Johnson, who had struggled with injuries late in his career.
Last April, when he came back to Phoenix for the ceremony honoring former teammate Tom Chambers, Johnson said he was probably through with basketball. He said he had turned down several offers from other teams.
Johnson had spent more time on the bench and as a shooting guard after the Suns brought in Jason
Kidd as the floor leader in December 1996.
In Flagstaff, where the Suns wrapped up their training camp yesterday, coach Danny Ainge said he was a little surprised but not shocked.
"KJ had an unbelievable career." Ainge said. "Had he not been hurt, I think he would have been up there with some of the best point guards who ever played the game, in everybody's eyes."
Johnson was traded to the Suns from Cleveland midway through his rookie season. He is the team's career assist leader with 6,494 and No. 3 in scoring with 12,707 points.
trails only John Stockton, Magic Johnson, Oscar Robertson and Isiah Thomas. His 6.687 assists rank 10th on the NBA career list.
Johnson, who averaged 18 points a game, was a three-time all-star and only the sixth player with 11,500 points. 6,000 assists, 2,000 rebounds and 1,000 steals.
"When I think of Kevin Johnson, I think of a young man who represented this franchise as well as anyone who has worn a Suns uniform," said Jerry Colangelo, the team's chief executive officer. "Kevin will go down as one of the most popular players to play for the Suns but also had as big an impact as anyone who has ever played for us."
Four jump into Track and Field Hall of Fame
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS - Bill Rodgers, a four-time winner of both the Boston and New York City marathons, will join three others to be inducted to the National Track and Field Hall of Fame
Rodgers; former world triple jump record-holder Willie Banks; former NCAA and Olympic hurdles champion Charles Moore; and former Princeton track coach Larry Ellis will be inducted in Los Angeles on Dec. 2.
The 51-year-old Rodgers, who competed at Wesleyan University, finished third in the world cross country championships in 1975 and won his first Boston Marathon a month later.
He later won four U.S. distance titles and set two American marathon records. His time of 2 hours, 9 minutes and 28 seconds in winning the 1979 Boston Marathon still is fifth-best among all U.S. runners.
Banks, 43, a two-time NCAA runner-up at UCLA, set his first American record in 1981 and set a world record of 58 feet, 11 1/2 inches at the national championships in Indianapolis in 1985, when he was named U.S. Olympic Committee athlete of the year. Banks was a member of the 1980, 1984 and 1988 Olympic teams.
Moore, 70, never lost a 400-meter hurdles race. He broke the intermediate hurdles world record three times and won two Olympic

middle distance runner at New York University. He coached 13 years at Jamaica High School in New York before going to Princeton in 1970, where he coached Bob Beamon, former world record holder in the long jump, and Craig Masback, now the head of USA Track & Field.
Ellis, who died last year, was a
Ellis was U.S. men's coach of the 1984 Olympic and 1998 World Cup teams and was president of USATF from 1992-96.
"This induction ceremony will have a special meaning for me," Masback said. "Larry Ellis was an inspiration to me as my college coach, and Willie Banks and Bill Rodgers were my contemporaries. Charlie Moore remains one of our legendary performers."
Spurs travel to Italy for international play
The Associated Press
MILAN, Italy — The San Antonio Spurs at least will make sure they break a sweat in Italy.
While no NBA team has lost in the 12-year history of the McDonald's Championship, the Spurs say they'll take opponents seriously.
Well, seriously enough to get a good workout.
"We're going to use these games over here to get better," said Tim Duncan, who arrived yesterday in Milan with the rest of the NBA champs. "These are like preseason games for us. We have to use them to get ready for the real season."
The New York Knicks were taken to overtime by Italy's Scavolini Pesaro in 1990, and Magic Johnson's Los Angeles Lakers edged a Spanish team by 2 points in the title game the following year.
There have been some close calls, though.
The six-tteam tournament, held every two years since 1991, includes the European, South American, Asian and Australian champions, plus an Italian team.
"We don't know anything about the other teams here, and this is huge for them," said Avery Johnson.
"We shouldn't take this lightly, because the track record shows that other teams took it lightly, and games went down to the last minute or last 30 seconds." Johnson said. "We want to take things seriously from the first
SAN ANTONIO
SPIRAS
San Antonio has a bye into Friday's semifinals, where it will meet the winner of tomorrow's game between Brazil's Vasco da Gama and Australia's Adelaide 36ers. The other teams are European champions Zalgiris Kaunas, Lebanon's C.S. Sagsesse, and Italian League champ Varese Roosters. The final will be Saturday.
In Italy, basketball is second in popularity to soccer, and as of yesterday, there still were hundreds of tickets left for Thursday's first-round games at the 10,122-capacity FilaForum on the outskirts of Milan. Organizers said they expected to sell out the arena for Friday and Saturday.
minute out there and play like the NBA champs."
The Spurs, who opened their exhibition season Sunday with a 98-97 win against the Philadelphia 76ers, make their regular-season debut Nov. 3.
Robinson missed the Philadelphia game with a stiff lower back but should play this week.
The team is scheduled to make a series of public appearances, ranging from a McDonald's restaurant to the city's 14th-century Gothic cathedral.

Pakistani troops call overthrow official
Citizens celebrate oust of unpopular leaders
The Associated Press
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—In an apparent coup, Pakistani troops took control of state-run media yesterday, closed airports and announced the democratic-elected government had been removed after the prime minister tried to fire the powerful army chief.
A message that scrolled across the television screen said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's government had been ousted. It said army chief of staff Gen. Pervaiz Musharraf, who had been fired hours before by Sharif, would address the nation in a broadcast speech.
Troops cordoned off the prime minister in his residence in Islamabad, took control of the houses of several other top ministers
and seized other gov
and seized other government buildings.
Sharif fired Musharraf while the military leader was on a visit to Sri Lanka.
Musharraf flew back to Pakistan and was met by a large contingent of soldiers at the airport in the southern city of Karachi.
As troops moved through the main cities, many Pakistanis danced in the streets and waved flags, celebrating the apparent ouster of a government that had become increasingly unpopular because of its heavy-handed rule.
Musharraf was in Karachi's seized television building preparing to deliver his speech, the army information office said.
Instability in Pakistan would heighten tensions in South Asia, home of the world's two newest nuclear powers, India and Pakistan, which clashed earlier this year in a dispute about the divided Himalayan region of Kashmir.

India's army went on a state of high alert
along the border, a senior officer in India's northern command in Kashmir said on condition of anonymity.
Before the army announcement, U.S. State Department spokesman James Rubin
said. "If there has been a coup we would obviously seek the earliest possible restoration of democracy in Pakistan."
Asked if the situation in Islamabad had raised concerns about control of nuclear weapons technologies in Pakistan, White House spokesman Joe Lockhart said: "No concern like that has been raised to me."
In New Delhi, Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee held a crisis meeting with his top security and foreign policy advisers. The reports from Pakistan are causing grave concern, said Vajpayee's spokesman, Ashok Tandon.
Sharif has become increasingly unpopular as many accused him of trying to consolidate his power by weakening institutions like the judiciary, provincial governments and the opposition.
Sharif also was accused of suppressing opposition protests throughout the country in recent weeks.
Bulgarian U.N. staffer killed in Kosovo on first day there
The Associated Press
PRISTINA, Yugoslavia—A staffer working for the U.N. civilian mission in Kosovo was shot and killed after his first day on the job, apparently when he angered ethnic Albanians by speaking what sounded like Serbian, an international police official said yesterday.
Valentin S. Krumum, 38, was shot Monday evening on the main street of Kosovo's capital, Pristina, on his way to dinner after arriving for duty earlier in the day.
Lt. Col. Dmitry Kapotsev said he was attacked by a mob. "It seems like he was speaking Serbian, maybe Bulgarian," Kapotsev said of Krumov, a Bulgarian national.
Kapotsev said he was taken by a mob and killed.
Maj. Gilles Moreau, a U.N. police official,
said a group of teen-agers had asked Krumov
the time near the Grand Hotel, where many
employees of international organizations
stay while working in Kosovo. Krumov
responded in Serbian.
"One individual proceeded to hit him with his fist, and others kicked him," Moreau told reporters. "A large crowd gathered around the
altercation. All of a sudden a shot was heard."
altercation. All of a sudden a shot was heard." U.N. officials said Krumov had a job in the civilian part of the U.N. mission in Kosovo, not in any military or police operation. He was in civilian clothes when he was killed.
The former head of the officially disbanded Kosovo Liberation Army, Hashim Thaci — considered Kosovo's leader by many if not most ethnic Albanians — called the killing a disgusting assassination — an assassin's blow against the whole process of stabilizing the situation in Kosovo.
"There are few places in Kosovo now where the Serb language can be spoken freely," said Yugoslavia's state-run Tanjug news agency. "Ethnic cleansing, carried out by same methods as those in Nazi Germany, is under way in Kosovo."
Kapotsev said that with emotions running high and gun possession widespread among the Kosovo Albanian population, incidents like the shooting could be repeated anywhere, anytime.
In Sofia, Bulgarian President Petar Stoyanov sent a letter to the U.N. mission demanding a full investigation of the killing, the presidential press office said.

Poet's journal to be published
NEW YORK—One of literature's great underground documents is coming to bookstores; the complete journals of Sylvia Plath.
For decades, readers have obsessed like conspiracy theorists about Plath, the poet and novelist who killed herself in 1963. Biographers continue to analyze everything from her work to her famously difficult marriage to fellow poet Ted Hughes. Their relationship has lived on in Plath's posthumously issued poems and letters and in Hughes' "Birthday Poems," published just months before he died in 1998.
The exact nature of their relationship and why she committed suicide is still debated.: The journals may offer clues. An edition published in the 1980s is believed to contain only one-third of the collection. The new book almost will certainly will add hundreds of previously unpublished pages.
"The decision has been made to publish them in their entirety, unedited, so the world can judge for themselves," said Joanna Mackle, publishing director for London-based Faber and Faber, which in April will issue the book in Britain. A U.S. publisher is
expected to be announced shortly.
At the time of her death, Plath had just one book published under her name. But a decade later, she was a feminist martyr, the mourned and beloved author of the "Ariel" poems and the novel "The Bell Jar."
Meanwhile, Hughes was cast as the cold, oppressive villain, the man who stifled Plath in life and censored her in death. Plath fans harassed Hughes at readings and hacked his name off Plath's tombstone, which had been inscribed: "Sylvia Plath Hughes."
While friends of Hughes defended him as a caring husband driven away by his unstable wife, the poet himself said little in public for decades. But privately, he agonized — and wrote. In early 1988, he published the acclaimed *Birthday Letters*, a passionate, mournful and often bitter collection about Plath.
"A reassessment of Ted Hughes' life and work is already under way," said Steve Enniss, curator of literary collections at Emory University, where Hughes' papers are stored. "And the Plath journals will add to that. Any kind of attention given to one inevitably brings attention to the other. They are intertwined."
U.N. welcomes world's 6 billionth living human being
The Associated Press
SARA.JEVO.Bosnia
Herzegovina — In the city where more than 1,600 children died in three years of war, a boy born at 2 minutes past midnight yesterday was welcomed as the six billionth living member of the human race.
U. N. demographers chose yesterday as the day the world's population hit the 6 billion mark, and the first child born here was to be designated by the visiting U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan as the symbolic Baby Six Billion.
"I still don't know what name he will have," she said. "Regardless of whether he's the six billionth baby or not, I'm a happy mother."
"I heard others talking about a six billionth baby, but I found out from the doctors that it's mine," said Fatima Nevic, who gave birth to the 8-pound boy at Saraiego's hospital.
According to the United Nations, the world's population has doubled since 1960. There are more than 1 billion people between the ages of 15 and 24, just entering their reproductive years.
The son of Nevic and her husband — Muslims from the Bosnian town of Visoko — was being welcomed to the planet by Annan. The event was designed to draw attention to the challenges of providing a better future for the children of the next millennium.
Many of the estimated 370,000 infants born yesterday face a life of poverty, illiteracy and premature death.
The U.N. Population Fund estimates that five babies are born every second around the world, many in poor regions of Africa and Asia.
By marking the Day of the Six Billionth Baby, the United Nations hopes to draw attention to the problems of rapidly expanding populations, especially in poor nations unable to provide the resources for a rich and long life.
To mark the arrival of Earth's six billionth living citizen, celebrations and ceremonies were being held in many countries.

It's all part of the name for senior standout Pride
By Melinda Weaver
By Melinda Weaver
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Even Lynn Pride's name indicates greatness.
Some people have names that push them to success, and Pride's pushes her to play basketball with a determination and pride that is matched by few other players.
Not only does "Pride" stand on
on the back of Lynn's jersey, it
also describes a key element of her
game.
"I sat and thought about it, and there is no reason to go out and not show any pride in my game when I have it written on the back of my jeerse." Pride said.
Pride should be proud of her three seasons as a Jawhawk.
She appears in the Kansas record books three times, 10th in all-time scoring with 1, 252 points, 11th in career rebounding with 626 and sixth in career steals with 204.
Last season, Pride led the team in scoring (17.1 ppg), rebounds (7.2 rpg), steals (2.7 ppg), blocks (0.7 pgs) and minutes per game (33.7).
This season, Pride will move into the role of senior leader.
"Coach hasn't told me exactly what my role is, but I know I have to be the leader," Pride said. "I have to lead verbally and say more to the other players. If I give 100 percent all of the time, I know my teammates will and vice versa."
To prepare herself for the season, Pride tried out for the 1999 USA Pan American Games Team and was one of two college players to be selected by the USA Basketball Women's National Team Committee.
Although she played a key role in the team's bronze medal performance, Pride said that she had not expected to play in many of the games.
She scored double figures in every game, averaging 13 points and seven rebounds per game.
Her best performance came in the 92-80 win against the Dominican Republic, when she led the team with 20 points and 11 rebounds. She also led the team in scoring in a loss to Cuba with 15.
"I was surprised at how well I played, because I expected to be on the bench," Pride said. "The team consisted of older players who had a lot more experience than me. Coach (Nell) Fortner just told me to go out and play my game, and that's what I did."
Pride said her summer competition helped her work on her game and improve for the upcoming season.
"I'm ready to take my game to another level," Pride said. "I plan to do things that aren't expected from me. I'm physically stronger, and I have improved my overall game."
Pride will be expected to make a large impact as the Jayhawks transfer to a new offense, the
"Coach hasn't told me exactly what my role is, but I know I have to be the leader."
Lynn Pride
Women's basketball player
triple-post offense, which the Chicago Bulls' six NBA championship teams used.
The offense will allow more options and creativity for Coach Marian Washington's versatile players.
"Lynn can do everything," Washington said. "We can play her at every position from one (point guard) to four (power forward). She's not just out shooting the ball, but she can defend well, too. She's a great passer, and her athletic performance is sometimes just so incredible. Last season, I watched her jump into the air and pin the ball against the backboard. Not many women can do that."
This season, Pride leads a team that expects to do well in the Big 12 Conference and make a good showing in the NCAA tournament.
"We have not set our goals yet, but they are very high." Pride said. "This team is very motivated, and we want a lot for ourselves. We can beat a lot of good teams."

Some students enroll in classes after the final
By Nathan Willis
writer @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Katie Bartkoski received 11 syllabuses the first week of class, but she only uses seven of them.
After all, she's enrolled in only seven classes. As for the others, she just wanted to try them out to see if they were worth taking or not.
tarkoski, Basehor junior, was class shopping — attending classes she wasn't enrolled in, deciding which of them she liked and enrolling only in those.
"It's good to see what's out there," she said. "Mostly I just look at electives."
Although she's class shipped every semester, Bartkoski always has picked her classes within the first couple of weeks, she said.
And administrators say that students who don't enroll in all their classes until late in the semester — or even after the semester is finished — are part of a growing trend across the University of Kansas campus that can cause headaches for professors, administrators and students alike.
But not all students do.
Bob Turvey, associate regis
trar, said hundreds of students were attending classes they had not enrolled in, and the University Registrar's office had noticed an increase in recent semesters.
Students don't enroll for a variety of reasons, he said, but prime among them is class shopping.
in some cases, frankly, they were shopping, looking for a class they could get an A or B in. "Turvey said. "It's a nice way to boost your GPA — to add a class after you've already got an A in it."
There are other, more legitimate reasons for students not to enroll in a class they are taking, Turvey said. Some can't afford to pay for all of their tuition at the beginning of the semester, he said, and they put off adding classes until they have more money.
"Some students are in binds," he said. "But those seem to be the small numbers."
Others don't know that when they change sections within a course, they need to let the Enrollment Center know, said Diana Carlin, interim assistant provost.
But regardless of the reason, students who put off enrolling or do the converse — enroll but plan for the possibility of dropping if their grades head south — create hassles for faculty, administrators and other

Body art may carry unseen, painful risks
Infections, allergies can cause unwanted problems

Many students get tattoos and body piercing as a form of expression or for a personal statement.
This is why students who choose to receive a piercing or body art should brace themselves for the health risks and care that accompany a life-long commitment to their body art, said Randall Rock, Watkins Memorial Health Center chief of staff.

star. "I'd encourage people to see them as not just an art form or a form of expression, but also as body-altering, risk-taking processes that have potential consequences of permanently altering the body and breaking down the body's barriers to protection." he said.
BODY ART TIPS
sterilization samplers No matter how clean the parlor is, however.
Carlos Ransom, tattoo artist at Skin Illustrations, 740 S. Massachusetts St., said that all pattero artists in Kansas were regulated by the Kansas Board of Cosmetologists to ensure sterilization standards were met.
Tattoos:
- Stay out of the sun and use sunscreen to avoid fading.
Don't pick at the skin or at scabs that form after a tattoo, even if they itch.
（USPS 650-640）
avoid tauting:
- Avoid swimming pools, lakes and hot tubs directly after getting a tattoo to avoid infection.
Piercing:
A piercing gun should never be used except for ear lobes.
Use only jewelry made from 316L surgical-implant gold, niobium or titanium.
Because they break the skin, body piercings and tattoos provide the opportunity for infections.
"We try to make people aware that there are things that could happen that aren't either of our faults." Ransom said.
Although problems with tattoos aren't as common, Watkins sees infections from body piercing on a fairly regular basis, Rock said.
If students are thinking about getting body art, they should consider consulting a doctor before

the risk of infection or allergic reaction occurs, Rock said.
Those who decide to go through with it should check out their artist and parlor thoroughly.
Michele Summers, Topeka junior, was pleased with the Padre Island, Texas, parlor where she had gotten her tattoo during spring break.
Lance Tuck, Skin Illustrations body piercer, said customers should feel at ease with the personality, hygiene, knowledge and technique of their artist.
"They explained how they were going to do it and gave me time to think about it," Summers said. "They overcharged because it was Padre, but it was a nice, clean place."
the most pain-free areas to tattoe are on the fleshy parts of the arms and legs. The most painful are the sternum, ribs and near joints.
"If you hit a nerve, you'll be hating life." Tuck said.
Those considering a tattoo or body piercing also should consider the pain factor.

"Mine's not huge, but yeah, it was pretty painful," said Summers, whose tattoo is on her lower back. "But it's worth it."

University, Sprint claim merger won't affect funding
Millions of dollars of Sprint research money at the University of Kansas should not be affected by the company's proposed merger with MCI WorldCom, both Sprint and University officials say.
By John Audlehelm
Special to the Kansan
and University of Kentucky KU's Information Technology and Telecommunication Center has a number of research contracts with Sprint.
research contracts must "Those contracts remain in full force and effect, and even after the merger they would continue," said Russ Robinson, director of corporate communications for Sprint.
Robinson said he saw no reason for the relationship to change. But, he said, the future was impossible to predict.
nure was impoired Tim Johnson, executive director for opera.
Johnson said on average the center received 20 to 25 percent of its funding from Sprint. Last year the center spent about $6.5 million on research, but Johnson said he was not sure exactly how much of that was funded by Sprint.
tions and applied technology at the center, said he did not think the center's current contracts would change but that he would maintain a wait-and-see attitude for the future.
WorldCom, the name of the proposed company, would control 30 percent of the U.S. long-distance market.
Robinson said any change in the relationship would be because of the industry and
Petr said WorldCom may change this.
MCI WorldCom and Sprint announced the proposed merger Oct. 5. The $115 billion deal would be the largest corporate takeover ever.
not the merger.
"The cycle of research is constantly shifting," he said. "This is a very,very fast-paced industry."
David Petr, associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science, said asynchronous transfer mode was a new way of networking computers.
sprint and the telecommunication center are developing asynchronous transfer mode networks.
"Well, it basically replaces a telephone switch," he said.
A' switch is an place where individual phone lines connect.
Petr said telephone networks were adequate for uses such as phone calls and fax machines but could not handle video or high-speed information transfer.
He said telephone and asynchronous transfer mode networks were like different-sized pipes.
"They may choose to do their research interpolly." be said.
"When I make a phone call, I have the use of a little,, skinny information pipe," Petr said. "Nobody else can use that pipe, but I can't get anything but that pipe. With ATM, there's a big pipe, and a bunch of us are sharing it."
Sprint does not invest much in in-house research, Petr said. That means Sprint does not have many of its own labs and research organizations.

"They rely more on partners, vendors and universities to accomplish the research they need to accomplish," he said.
Officials mourn ex-chancellor Nichols' death

Kansan staff writer
Nichols, 95, died Tuesday at Presbyterian Manor in Lawrence.
Described as a walking encyclopedia of KU knowledge by his friends, Nichols' career at the University spanned more than 70 years. He served as KU chancellor from 1972 to 1973.
University of Kansas administrators past and present continued mourning the death of former Chancellor Raymond Nichols yesterday.
Smith, 93, first met Nichols on March 17, 1941, when he arrived on campus for a job interview. After sitting across a table
"He worked 24 hours a day for this University," said George B. Smith, former dean of the University and longtime friend of Nichols. "He truly was the University of Kansas."
Nichols: served the University for 70 years
ring across a ta- and working together for more than 20 years, Smith said he knew Nichols almost better than anybody.
"He showed me around the campus in 1941," Smith said. "And then again every day since."
Smith said that the death of Nichols saddened him but that Nichols had been ill for some time.
When Nichols began at the University, Jayhawk Boulevard was a dirt road and only 3,500 students were enrolled. As the son of a Civil War veteran from Larned, he opted to serve at the University during both World Wars.
While obtaining his bachelor's degree in 1926 and his master's degree in 1928, both in journalism, Nichols worked as editor of The University Daily Kansan and the Jayhawker, the student yearbook, and he served as president of the Student Council.
After briefly working as a reporter, Nichols returned to the University where he worked for 43 years as executive secretary to the University, vice chancellor for finance and eventually as chancellor. He was instrumental in the growth of the student body and in establishing the KU Space Technology Center, on West Campus, which is named after him.
Nichols received numerous awards throughout his career, including the 1969 Distinguished Service Citation and the 1977 Fred Elsworth Medallion, the KU Alumni Association's highest award for service. He was active in the Boy Scouts of America, the Spencer Museum of Art, the Alumni Association, the state Council on Aging, the local Rotary Club and many other organizations.
Todd Seymour, former president of the Kansas University Endowment Association, also remembered Nichols with sadness yesterday. He, too, said the former chancellor was a leader not only at the University, but also within the Lawrence community.
He also loved Kansas basketball and only missed one game of the first 150 ever played at Allen Fieldhouse.
"When he retired (in 1973), everyone wondered how we would ever be able to replace him," Seymore said. "Ray, in many ways, was the heart of the University for many years."
Seymour said that Nichols served as a personal mentor to many KU chancellors — Chancellor Robert Hemenway included.
"When I was named chancellor, Raymond took time to explain the University's history and traditions in a way that I will never forget," Hemenway said.
Nichols' wife, Clytice, died Jan. 20, 1977. He is survived by a sister and a son, Raymond L. Nichols, of Australia.
A service is planned for 1 a.m. Friday at Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St. Private inurnment will be at the University's Pioneer Cemetery.

Geological Survey awarded $1.9 million
The Kansas Geological Survey and the Tertiary Oil Project were the recipients of a $1.9 million award from the federal government to conduct research in extracting additional oil from matured oil fields.
The funding was awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Reservoir Class Field Demonstration Program, which assists domestic independent oil companies to employ new technology for oil recovery from dried-up wells that otherwise might be abandoned.
Paul Willhite, co-director of the oil project, said the research would involve the Hall-Gurney Field in Russell because of its potential for success.
The research involves injecting carbon dioxide into oil wells to displace oil from petroleum reservoirs.
"It's a great example of research applied to the needs of Kansas because it will extend the life of oil fields in Kansas," said Robert Barmhill, vice chancellor for the KU Center for research.
In addition to the funding awarded by the federal government, $3.5 million will be contributed to this project by other sources including Shell CO$_2$ Company Ltd. and MV Energy.

the media at a distance.
This morning, district court officers initially barred reporters from the Boulder County Justice Center, but relented an hour later.
Boulder County representative Margaret McKinney refused to say
who gave the order to ban journalists, but said, "There were a lot of complaints from the public, a lot of frazzled citizens."
The grand jury, which was convened in September 1998, faces an Oct. 20 deadline to decide whether to issue an indictment or a report, or simply disband without comment.
The jurors took the summer off,
then returned to work last month.
District Attorney Alex Hunter has said he could continue the investigation without the grand jury's help. Under state law, a prosecutor can file charges directly if he thinks there is enough evidence.
Fox wants to 'cash in' on Millionaire craze
NEW YORK — Would you turn on a friend — on national television — if $2 million was at stake?
Fox is betting you will, since that's the premise behind *Greed*, a new primetime game show it hopes to air for at least three weeks beginning Nov. 4.
The network is rushing Greed through production to be ready for the ratings sweeps in November and to beat the stampede of network producers developing game shows to capitalize on the success of ABC's Who wants To Be a Millionaire.
"By the time there are five or six of them on the air, they won't be as special," Mike Darnell, the Fox executive in charge of specials, said yesterday. "By being second on the air with this, we could have an impact."
Each show will have a team of five players, who initially work together to answer questions on popular culture that start easy and get progressively more difficult. As the stakes rise, participants can work either as a team to win prizes or compete against each other to win more money.

Butter-truck driver charaed with homicide
GRENOBLE, France — The Belgian driver whose smoking truck triggered a deadly blaze in the Mont Blanc tunnel has been charged with involuntary homicide, a lawyer close to the investigation said yesterday.
Alain Jakubowicz, a civil party lawyer representing families of victims who died in the tunnel, confirmed that a court in Bonneville in the French Alps has sent a letter to Gilbert Degrave informing him of the charges.
The law prohibits the Bonneville court from confirming or denying the action because the charges were sent by mail. Degrave's lawyer, Paul Muylaert, could not be reached for comment.

DARMSTADT, Germany — A growing amount of space junk is orbiting Earth, increasing chances that satellites or spacecrafts could be destroyed by the hurting debris, the European Space Agency warned yesterday.
Space junk could harm equipment, agency says
There are about 8,000 pieces of trash at least 4 inches in diameter orbiting Earth, and 150,000 pieces that are at least a half-inch in size, the agency said at an international conference.
Because of the great speeds at which they travel, a half-inch piece of space junk could destroy a satellite, while a four-inch chunk could destroy a space shuttle, the agency said.
The space shuttle Discovery, for example, had to make six evasive maneuvers in the past year to avoid hitting garbage, it said.
The space agency called on countries to take measures to prevent further space trash like curbing rocket explosions in space, which account for 41 percent of the garbage.
U.N. military observers seized near Moscow
SUKHUMI, Georgia — Seven U.N. military observers were taken hostage yesterday morning in Georgia's breakaway Abkhazia region, an official said.
The U.N. observers had just arrived by helicopter in the mountain village of Azhara when they were seized by unidentified gunmen, said Astamur Tarba, minister for state security in the breakaway territory.
The gunmen also tried to command deer the helicopter, but the pilot managed to fly away, the Interfax news agency reported, citing Abkhazia's mission in Moscow.
About 100 U.N. observers are in Georgia to monitor the truce between the Georgian government and the separatists in Abkhazia, a northwestern province on the Black Sea.
Abkhazian separatists drove out Georgian government troops during a 1992-93 war and have run the breakaway province since then. They have balked at the return of more than 300,000 ethnic Georgian refugees who fled the fighting, and peace talks have stalled.

Broken pipe, smoke empty two buildings

By Nathan Willis and
A pair of pipe problems triggered fire alarms that forced students, faculty and staff to evacuate Strong and Stauffer-Flint halls within a few minutes of each other yesterday afternoon.
The KU Public Safety Office received a call at 3 p.m., and the fire alarm in Stauffer-Flint was triggered at 3:04 p.m. as a result of smoke coming from an exterior rain gutter on the west end of the building.
"We could see smoke billowing out of the pipe when we came outside," said Coryanne Graham, University Daily Kansasman managing editor.
Firefighters from the Lawrence/Douglas County Fire and Medical Department quickly quelled the smoke with a combination of foam and water, said Capt. Shaun Coffy. After the department was sure the smoldering was out, it allowed people to re-enter the building and flushed the rain gutter with water from a hose.
Coffy said that he didn't know what caused the fire and that the cause would remain unknown
because flushing the pipe removed any evidence that could be used to determine the cause.
However, he did speculate that it could have been caused by a cigarette tossed down a hole in the pipe that ignited material sitting in the pipe — an ironic possibility, given that the pipe is near a door that is designated a non-smoking entrance.
At almost the same time, Strong Hall had to be evacuated because a steam pipe broke in the basement.
About 150 people had to go outside when the fire alarm sounded after a pipe in room 45 broke. No emergency vehicles were called in.
Jeannebell Johnson, assistant to the provost, said that alarms going off at Strong Hall were nothing new. She said that about once a month, the building had to be evacuated because of some type of disturbance.
She said that she remembered an instance in which someone spray painting set off the alarm and another in which someone making popcorn triggered the alarm.
"It's a very sensitive system," she said.

Regents spend afternoon viewing students' work
By Clay McCusinion writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Board of Regents members took a break from debating and implementing higher education policy yesterday afternoon, touring campus in a KU on Wheels bus and visiting Nunemaker Center to view undergraduate research.

Sylvia Robinson, a Regent from Kansas City, was enthusiastic about the posters.
Eight poster displays were set up by University of Kansas Honors Program members, summarizing work they had done in disciplines from literature to education to science. The students — along with faculty members who helped them with their research — explained their work to the seven Regents members who attended the 4 p.m. presentation.
"I have been thoroughly impressed with the students," she said. "I think it's true that when students find their passion, they excel."
Most of the Regents spent their morning in a meeting of the Commission on Higher Education Coordination. The commission is a new group devoted to supervising the 37 institutions that now make up the Regents system.
Robinson said she was glad to spend some time away from meetings.
"This afternoon has been dedicated to seeing students," she said, "a wonderful reminder of why we come together."
The chairman of the commission, Fred Kerr, was appointed to the board only three months ago by Gov. Bill Graves. He, too, said he was glad to spend time with students.
Barbara Schowen, director of the Honors Program, said it was important to spotlight the work of undergraduate students.
"It's a real privilege," Kerr said. "There's some fantastic young people doing some very sophisticated work."
or undergraduates.
"We wanted to showcase that for the Board of Regents visit," she said. "I'd like them to come away recognizing that there are a lot of undergraduates that are participating in research and that the faculty at KU really welcomes them."
Kristopher Carlson, Topea senior, presided over a poster with the tongue-twisting title, "Combined Methods Applied to the Synthesis of Structurally Complex Organophosphorus Compounds."
He said he hoped the presentations would broaden the Regents' minds.
"I hope they get an understanding for the diversity of research programs that are available at KU," he said. "And I hope that they understand the importance of allocating necessary funds to encourage students to take on projects like this."
Kristi Kuhn, Victoria senior welcomed the opportunity to
interact with the Regents and to talk about her research on rabbits.
"It's a good opportunity to share my research in a general setting," she said. "My independent research has taught me more than any other classes have taught me."

Members underline importance of equity in face of lawsuit
By Clay McCusition
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
As the Board of Regents assembled on campus yesterday, the issue of salary equity was a constant presence.
The news of a gender discrimination complaint filed by board staff member Christine Crenshaw made the plans of the six Regents schools to study gender equity seem richly ironic. Board members refused to comment on Crenshaw's case specifically but underlined the importance of equal pay.
"It's obviously an issue important to a lot of people and certainly we want to promote fairness," said Fred Kerr, a Regent from Pratt. "Our priority is on trying to provide better educational opportunities for the people of this state, and we need to work through that issue — from a fairness standpoint — so we can get on to the priority of educational opportunities."
Bill Docking, chairman of the Regents and an Arkansas City banker, said the board would conduct an equity survey of its own.
in tandem with the universities it governs. The Kansas Department of Administration will study the pay of staff members, he said.
"The process we're going through in the Board of Regents office includes new job descriptions being drawn up because we have a new organization being put together." Docking said. "All of this will be most helpful to us in trying to address these issues."
Provost David Shulenburger said that, contrary to earlier statements by Mary Hawkins, Faculty Senate president, a qualitative equity survey would take place.
After the September meeting of the board, Hawkins said she had no knowledge of a plan for such a qualitative survey at the University.
University shulenburg said that after a basic study looking at the pay of women and minorities was completed through his office, further work would be done.
"We're putting together, with governance, a committee that will survey women, minorities, the unclassified and faculty to find out what their concerns are related to their gender and minority status," he said. "Then, when we know what these concerns are, we'll take the next step and look into them and find out if there's anything we can change."

app over it. 10-4.
"I don't think everything that needed to be considered came up in committees," he said.
Bradshaw said he didn't favor that the petition would allow a student's
GPA to be reconfigured with an improved grade.
"The big thing is now seeing it through," said Dede Seibel, student body vice president and the bill's sponsor. "We need to get the faculty on board."
improved grade students actually have a chance to take advantage of the policy, however, it must be approved by the Academic Procedures and Policies subcommittee of the Senate Executive committee, then SenEx itself, University Council and University Senate. Next, it would need Chancellor Robert Hemenway's approval.
But that argument boiled down to trying to keep up with the Joneses, Bradshaw said.
Seibel said more universities across the nation were forming similar policies — including fellow Big 12 Conference schools such as the University of Oklahoma, Iowa State University and Texas Tech University.
Ben Walker, another one of the legislation's sponsors, said the policy enabled students planning on attending graduate school to be more competitive with students who they

Nicole Skalla, CLAS senator, voted against the petition. She said students who really wanted to master the material still could seek a class instructor's permission to sit in on the class.
"KU should not be a remedial learning school," she said.

students, can she said "When that happens, often some student who wants to add has not been able to get in because of that," she said.
Faculty also have to worry about whether all their students are enrolled, and administrators waste time filling out paperwork and updating records when students add late, Carlin said.
Carlin said. Even the University as a whole can lose money because 20th-day enrollment numbers determine the University's share in some state funding, meaning credit hours students enroll in after the 20th day of classes don't count toward state aid, she said.
Sometimes class shoppers can hurt themselves because federal loan programs are based on how many hours a student is enrolled in, Turvey said.
All these problems led Carlin to send out a letter on Sept. 27 that accompanied the 25th-day rosters given to all faculty. It referred faculty members to an e-mail address where they could send lists of students with enrollment problems. Carlin also reminded faculty in the letter that it could prevent unenrolled students from taking tests and doing other class work.
The problem is that locating unenrolled students is a task easier said than done, said Sally Frost Mason, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and professor of biochemistry who has about five unenrolled students in her introduction to biology class.
She reminded her class that all students needed to be enrolled after she received

out she says, "As professors, we would only notice that a student was engaged in this behavior after we attempted to reconcile grades from quizzes, papers and exams with the rosters," she said. "It's impossible to know what the reasons are unless the student comes to see you or you have a way of seeking them out."
More than 50 students with enrollment problems have been located by professors so far, though most are students who are enrolled but are not attending classes, Turvey said. Still, Turvey and Carlin said the operation to root out students with enrollment problems now, rather than the usual process of waiting till the end of the semester, was successful.
Carlin's letter. But unenrolled students blend in with enrolled students in large classes like hers, making them difficult to seek out, she said.
"Most of the students we've talked to have been pleased just to know that someone is interested in them," Turvey said.

Regents system needs to protect rights of homosexuals in policy
Last year Emporia State University officials removed sexual orientation from the university's anti-discrimination policy. Not long after that, the University of Kansas Student Senate passed a resolution condemning the action. Senate members are taking this a step further by petitioning the Board of Regents to draft a policy for all Regents schools that would prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. The editorial board agrees with this wholeheartedly.
Emporia State's current policy simply is wrong. To deny individuals academic and employment opportunities because they are gay is the definition of discrimination. Regardless of one's personal feelings about homosexuality, the argument
Emporia's removal of sexual orientation from discrimination policy could cause problems
that sexual orientation would preclude anyone from being a good student or employee is absurd.
Senate members who are working to correct this situation are acting within their roles and are taking a very important step. Emporia State is one of our sister schools, a school that is expected to have the same quality of education as the University. To ignore the potential plight of our fellow Kansas students would be tremendously undesirable. Not only could they suffer simply for attending school in another part of
Whether we like to admit it, we live in a society with vocal sects of people who are hateful toward gays. To give these groups any loopholes to potentially target gays must be avoided.
the state, but they would be living under a precedent that could eventually spread.
We encourage the KU student body to make it known that they agree with Senate's action. Students can do this by writing the Regents or by contacting student body President Korb Maxwell or senators Partha Mazumdar, Erin Simpson, Lisa Braun or Christa Madrigal to find out how they can best help.
High school athlete knew the rules
Erik Goodman for the editorial board
Rules are not made to be broken, and unfortunately, some people must learn this lesson the hard way. This is what happened to Ryan Lilja, a 17-year-old Shawnee Mission Northwest senior football player, who was dismissed from the team after he broke the school's alcohol policy.
Athletes in the Shawnee Mission School District sign a pledge that says they will not drink and that the punishment, should they drink and get caught, is a year-long suspension.

It is especially unfortunate for Lilja because this is the first year that the school district lengthened the suspension to one year, instead of the 23 days it had been in the past.

The other thing to remember is that he was not suspended from school or put in jail, even though he did break the law. He merely had a privilege, the privilege to play sports, stripped away. Playing football is a privilege, not a right. When one breaks a known rule, privileges should be revoked.

Perspective
W welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Brooklyn Museum of Art. Today, we are fortunate to feature the British exhibit "Sensation." Before we go further, let me reiterate the health warning printed on the show's advertisement: "The contents of the exhibition may cause shock, vomiting, confusion, panic, euphoria and anxiety."
First Amendment protects, but it's not a dung deal
details. But do fund details, such as elephant dung and dead animals, deserve public funding? New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani doesn't think so.

Giuliani, who referred to the exhibit as "sick stuff," pulled $7.2 million in city funds from the museum and has filed with the court to terminate the museum's lease.
The exhibit "Sensation," by definition of its title, causes heightened public interest through
CAROLINE BORN
Oh good, I see you've all received barf bags from the protesters outside. Let's move along. Here, on the left, is
Marc Quinn's "Self," a man's bust carved in nine pints of the artist's frozen blood.
On to the next room, where Jake and Dinos Chapman's fused figures of young children in sexual poses are displayed. But first, we must stop to admire Ofilli's "Holy Virgin Mary," an acrylic, oil, paper collage with elephant dung on linen. Please note the clump of elephant dung that garnishes Mary's left breast and how the artist has scattered and pasted genitals and buttocks clipped from porn magazines.
Disgust may turn heads, but not for long. The disgusted reader trashes the Kansan and doesn't bother to pick it up the next day. The disgusted parade attendee comments, "How moronic to dress as a bong and flip off the student body." Is negative attention better than no attention at all?
The Brooklyn Museum of Art thinks so, and it's paying off with record turnouts at the exhibit. Which leads to another question: Did this notorious of an event need public funding? The same distasteful statement originally could have been made with private funds.
I applaud Giuliani canceling public funds in response to the museum's decision to display the exhibit in its entirety. At the soul of the controversy is Chris Offili's "Holy Virgin Mary," which uses elephant dung and pornographic magazine cutouts to embellish Mary. Catholic groups are enraged, despite Offili's claim that dung represents fertility.
Public money can't support religion, and if shouldn't be used to attack it either. What if Martin Luther King Jr. and not the Virgin Mary was dung covered? This isn't about the First Amendment or the free expression that "Sensation" makes. This is about public money going towards something that's distasteful at the least.
Little precedent exists for New York courts to decide whether Giuliani overstepped his mayoral bounds, creating potential for the Supreme Court to answer the question of whether distastefulness deserves your money.
Facing us, in the formaldehyde tank, is a cross-sectioned pig by Damien Hirst, entitled "This little piggy went to market, this little piggy stayed home." Later, we'll see another work by Hirst.
Sensational art (or journalism) functions through its shock value — the extreme. Lately, local sensations boil down to the same issue of taste. Strippers adorned the front page of the Oct. 1 Kansan. Creators of Stephenon Scholarship Hall's middle-finger float cry First Amendment after being told their float could not enter the homecoming parade with the third finger erect.
Wait, we're not through. You paid $5.50 to get in.
Don't you want to see the artificial cow's head
swarming with live maggots? This is art. This is
freedom of speech.
Maybe Stephenson had a right to be in the parade, but what about taste? What statement is being made? And, more importantly, is disgust the desired sentiment?
wherein he uses a shark suspended in the same medium of formaldehyde.
This is freedom of speech, but I don't want to pay for dung.

There are better causes to fight than the Lazer
It's really nice to see all of the energy that many students on this campus are putting forth to try and actively change something about the world around them. It's unfortunate, however, that all of this energy has to be wasted on such a meaningless concern as the new Lazer
for that instead of focusing it on real issues such as student rights or social justice. Do you remember two summers ago when the University signed a contract with Coke and the students got really upset and sent around petitions, made T-shirts, and planned benefit concerts? Of course you don't because it never happened.

When commercialization was a hot topic on campus the most that people did was complain about it. but no
Any group that jumps on the 'save the Lazer' bandwagon should be ashamed to call themselves any sort of 'activist group.' What injustice are they fighting against? Whose life are they trying to improve? People are suffering and dying from social injustice and the most important thing that they can see fighting against is a commercial radio station's programming? They have become so well indoctrinated into the role of the consumer that it seems like the only thing
real action was taken. So what this means is that a commercial radio station switching from one brand of corporate rock to another brand of corporate rock is more important than the privatization of the campus — and the consequences that this has for higher education? I certainly hope that's not the case.
As students we all have limited time and other resources that we can spend fighting for not only our rights, but the rights of others. So while some groups are spending their time and resources fighting for their right to hear their favorite corporate rock star played six times a day, real issues that affect the quality of life and the well-being of millions of people — from this campus to around the world — are being forgotten and ignored.
that they are willing to fight for are their consumption rights.
Although the old Lazer has been romanticized lately as the paragon of independent radio broadcasting, the fact of the matter is that it was nothing more than a commercial rock station that played all of the same music that I heard on the commercial rock stations all summer in New Hampshire. The KAW or Pacific are independent radio stations, not the Lazer.
It is plain that as students we are capable of coming together and actively working toward a common goal. At the very least the recent efforts to change the Lazer format are a testament to that. What needs to be done now, however, is for us to decide where we are going to direct that energy. It is my hope that the students on this campus will redirect their energy into something far more substantial than the Lazer's programming.
Major is a Deerfield, N.H., senior in sociology and American studies.
There has been some discussion — most of it contained in the world of listservs — that this quest to revert the Lazer to its previous programming is not a worthy endeavor. This discussion needs to be made public because there has been little inspection of this apparently unified front against the Lazer.

Retake policy OK
After reading the editorial "Retaking courses for better grades fails to be fair to diligent students," I wish to comment on the "disadvantages" enumerated by the UDK.
The first disadvantage argues that poorer students will not be able to afford to retake classes. However, a KU student can always retake the class at a less costly, nearby community college. The policy in question simply makes it easier if students DO want to retake the class at KU. Besides, if it is important to the student to delay his or her graduation in order to retake a class, then finding the money to pay for the class seems to be a minor issue at best.
The third argument that the
The second disadvantage argues that students who are taking the class for the first time are put at a disadvantage. But disadvantages already exist. Some students, even those taking the class for the first time, have access to old tests, labs and/or notes. Some students seems to have a special understanding of foreign languages, math or English. Some had better instructors in high school. How does the UDK propose to deal with the various advantages or disadvantages students bring to the classroom? At least with this policy, if a first-time student doesn't do as well in a course as desired, then he or she would always have a chance to retake it.
UDK makes against the policy is that first-time students may not be able to get in a class that is full. If a student pays to retake a class, then he or she has as much right to be in there as any other student. We live in a very unfair world and even at KU, it is first come, first served.
Finally, the policy of retakes acknowledges that students grow and mature. Many of us don't have what it takes the first time around — whether that's discipline or drive or an adequate understanding of the subject — and we need a second chance. The UDK would take that away.

Students bring music to children
Program volunteers help less-fortunate learn to play instruments
Kara Ammon
Special to the Kansan
After a class discussion about community service one afternoon, Christie Garton knew she wanted to do something to bring music to children who couldn't afford private lessons. And she did.
And she did.
Garton, Olathe junior, created Music Mentors, a new program this semester at the University of Kansas that allows students who have music backgrounds and who enjoy working with children to volunteer by giving lessons and exposing underprivileged Lawrence children to music.
While volunteering at East Heights Elementary School, 1430 Haskell Ave., Garton found an audience for her program's concept in East Heights' after-school program.
"Some kids don't have instruments at home, and we can't change that," Garton said. "We're just trying to teach them how to read music and introducing them to the idea of music so if they want to play an instrument, they can do that."
they can do that.
The program has about 30 KU student-volunteers who teach everything from trumpet to choir to about 60 East Heights students.

Prenicia Clifton, Independence, Mo., fresh
man, is the vice president for Music Mentors and directs the choir lessons. She said although many choir members enjoyed it, it was a daily challenge to motivate others to sing. Once they got into it, Clifton said music was a good release of energy for the reluctant ones.
"I see kids come in with a lot of hatred and violent behavior," she said. "I think once they start singing, they kind of take their mind off of it and they're not as bad."
mind on it and they could think of new ways to teach the children about music. She began bringing in CDs to expose the kids to different types of music. If they liked a certain singer's voice, she would tell them that they could sing like that if they practiced.
"A big hug at the end of the day is the most rewarding thing for me, just knowing that I've made a difference," Clifton said.
Garton said volunteers didn't have to be music majors but needed several years of music experience and some experience working with children. Garton, who is majoring in social welfare, teaches piano lessons.
social weed, teacher, Volunteers teach 30-minute private lessons to sixth-graders, who have access to the school's instruments, where the children either learn a piece or work on something they are playing for band or orchestra. The younger children can take piano lessons or choir.

teers. Garton said she wanted to expand the program to other local elementary schools and a junior high school by next semester. She said the program also would be a good idea in other places besides Lawrence.
"This program could be at other universities," Garton said. "I honestly believe that because of the responses I've received so far from people who really want to get involved."
Garton said the main goal of the Music Mentors program was to make music a part of the children's lives.

Kansas ROTC practices for its competition this weekend in Camp Dodge, Iowa. It will compete
ROTC prepares for ultimate challenge
Iowa competition allows members to show off skills
By Emily Hughey writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
It's kind of like a conference championship. But instead of focusing on one sport, the Army ROTC Rangers do several.
Army ROTC Rangers do three days at Every year, the Rangers spend three days at the Quad State Ranger Challenge Competition in Camp Dodge, Iowa, running, shooting and demonstrating their military skills in competition against teams from eight universities.
Dave Stanley, cadet major and Ranger team commander, said the purpose of the competition was to teach teamwork. However, he said, the eight events of the weekend weren't comparable to any other traditional varsity sport at the University of Kansas.
against eight schools to test their military skills. Courtesy photo
at the university of Kansas.
"It's not like most team sports where you're out to do one thing like getting the ball through the hoop in basketball or making a touchdown in football," said Stanley, O'Fallon, Ill., senior. "There's a focus in it, but it ranges over so many things. It's not being focused for one game. It's being focused for three days."
Tomorrow afternoon, the group will compete in a patrolling test, which evaluates military skills. Saturday's events include the Army physical fitness test, which consists of pushups, sit-ups and a two-mile run; rifle qualification; orienteering; building a one-rope bridge; and weapon assembly and disassembly. Sunday morning concludes the challenge with the most grueling event — the 10-kilometer
forced run. This event consists of nine team members running with 30- to 40-pound packs on their backs.
"It's a gut check," Stanley said. "By the end of Saturday, you're pretty damn tired because you're running and you've got 6.3 miles to go, but this time you've got weight on your backs."
Despite the physical intensity of the weekend, Captain Jeffrey Brown, Cadre Ranger Team adviser, said he thought the team could handle it.
"They've got a real good shot at it," Brown said. "They're definitely more physically fit than last year's team. Maybe not as all-around
prepared for skills training, but I think they have a definite shot."
have a defensive shot.
The other competing schools are Creighton, Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas State, the University of Northern Iowa, Pittsburgh State and South Dakota State. The main rival of Kansas, Stanley said, was Pittburg State.
"Last year, we beat them," Stanley said.
"This year, they're gunning after us."
Nevertheless, winning isn't the most important thing to Stanley. The team is.
"It's not marking the little 'w' in the win column." Stanley said. "It's for your team."

Pakistani coup may make region unstable
Native students expected takeover
Todd Halstead
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Pakistani students at the University of Kansas reacted with hope about the news of the military coup against the democratically elected government in Pakistan.
On Monday, Pakistani military troops seized state-run media and placed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif under house arrest. Army chief of staff Gen. Pervaiz Musharraf accused the government of driving the economy toward collapse.
Fahad Maral, Lahore, Pakistan, junior, said the coup came as a surprise because a majority of parliament had supported Sharif.
He said that there had been friction between the prime minister and the military, and the firing of Musharraf while he was in Sri Lanka might have instigated the coup.
"There might have been a personal grudge," Malal said. "There's always something hidden." Paul D'Anier, associate professor of political science, said there was a long history of military coups in Pakistan — corps the United States generally supported for political reasons.
"It would appear, however, that the U.S. is not very happy about this particular group of folks," he said. "This military group is going to be more desiring of having a nuclear arsenal than the
D'Anieri said the military leaders now in power were displeased with the way the civilian government had recently backed down in the conflict with India about the territory of Kashmir.
civilian government. There's not too much the U.S. can do about this. A lot of aid was already suspended because of nuclear testing."
Faisal Iqbal, Karachi, Pakistan, junior, said the citizens of Pakistan understood the military's actions and the coup had been expected.
"Personally, I think it will be good because the government thrown down was not doing good and people were not satisfied with the government's performance," Iqbal said.
"Reactions of people on the street were calm," Iqbal said. "People were relieved. Naturally in a democratic country people don't want military rule, but things had gone so far downhill."
He said that after watching the news he thought there was total chaos, but after speaking with his parents he discovered that conditions in Pakistan were subdued.
Maral said his country was in economic turmoil because of sanctions imposed by the United States and other countries in reaction to Pakistan's nuclear testing in May 1988. He said the counm may cause further sanctions.
"If he rules by military laws, that will be a bad thing," Maral said of Musharraf. "We are already in a depression over the nuclear testing incident because of an economic embargo. My future and many others is in the middle of nowhere if our economy goes down because of this."

White House wants democracy restored
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Clinton administration yesterday called for a return to constitutional democracy in Pakistan after the army seized power from Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said the coup created a new level of uncertainty in a region where bitter rivals have tested nuclear weapons.
President Clinton discussed the situation with British Prime Minister Tony Blair during an hourlong telephone call. The two leaders expressed hopes for the restoration of civilian government, National Security Council representative David Leavy said.
"What we hope very much is there is a return to a constitutional system in Pakistan and that we are able to continue the work that we have been doing to deflect the conflict, to get India and Pakistan to talk again about solving the Kashmir problem peacefully," Albright said.
Albright said U.S. officials have been in contact with military leaders in Pakistan in hopes of persuading them to return the country to a democratic government. "A military takeover of this kind ... does make it difficult to continue business as usual," she said. "A serious outbreak of hostilities

there could create great instability.
A senior government official who discussed the Pakistan matter on condition of anonymity said U.S. intelligence had warned for several months of the possibility of a military takeover in Pakistan.
Army chief Gen. Pervaiz Musharraf deposed the prime minister Tuesday after what had appeared to be promising signs of reconciliation between the two following an extended period of friction.
The United States is watching closely for indications about the direction Musharraf intends to take the country, White House spokesman Joe Lockhart said yesterday.
"We still are concerned and will continue to work until we get a clear picture of what's going on on the ground," Lockhart said. "We call very clearly for the earliest possible restoration of democracy and constitutional rule in Pakistan."
Colombian cartel leader arrested in anti-drug operation
The Associated Press
BOGOTA, Colombia — In the biggest blow to Colombian drug trafficking since 1995, authorities yesterday arrested 30 people including Fabio Ochoa, a leader in the oncepowerful Medellin cartel, the national police director announced.
Meanwhile, in a separate series of raids, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in Puerto Rico announced that drug agents in 15 Caribbean and Latin American
countries had arrested 1,290 people, burst into illicit laboratories, torched cocaine plantations and seized a veritable navy of drug-running boats during a two week period.
Colombian police chief Gen. Rosso Jose Serrano told reporters in Bogota that suspects in today's action were seized in predawn raids, and those captured in Colombia will be extradited to the United States for trial. Most of the suspects were arrested in Colombia, with others captured in Ecuador, Mexico and
the United States. he said.
This was an immense operation, an operation you could call perfect," Serrano told reporters.
U. S. drug officials said the organization moved 20 to 30 tons of cocaine a month into Mexico for distribution throughout the United States. Colombian police worked with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and CIA in the yearlong investigation that began in Houston and Ecuador and tracked the ring's operations all the way to
Europe, Serrano said.
"These people made gigantic shipments of drugs and flooded the U.S. markets." Serrano told RCN radio.
The sting was dubbed Operation Millennium, and Serrano called it the most important blow to drug traffickers in Colombia since the Caii cacile cartel's leaders were captured in 1995, ending the era of huge, vertically organized cartels and splintering the business.
The other drug raids, conducted between Sept. 29 and Oct. 11 and
announced today in San Juan. Puerto Rico, were not related to Operation Millennium.
Though most of the people nabbed in the two-week crackdown were low-level drug courriers or street dealers, the scale of the raids was enormous.
"This was an operation like never before seen," said Michael Vigil, chief of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency's Caribbean headquarters in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He added that it was the largest anti-drug operation in history.
New French law protects rights of gay, straight unwed couples
The Associated Press
D 1999 Teachers Insurance and Assurance Association College Retirement Equities Fund, NE, NY
They also feared the law would lead to lifting rules forbidding gay couples to adopt or have children by artificial insemination.
The National Assembly approved the law by a vote of 315-249 nearly a year after it was introduced.
PARIS — French legislators adopted a law yesterday that gives unwed gay and straight couples the same rights previously reserved for those who are married.
But the socialists, who introduced the bill, said the law would better protect couples, regardless of their gender.
Visibly pleased leftist lawmakers stood up after the measure passed. Justice Minister Elisabeth Guigou, a socialist, said the law would help diminish homophobia and intolerance.
Similar legislation already exists in several European countries, including Iceland, Belgium and Sweden. Laws in Denmark and the Netherlands are even more liberal.
Conservative lawmakers immediately said they would ask the Constitutional Council to decide if the law was unconstitutional, in which case it would be void.
Conservatives argued the Civil Solidarity Pact, better known by its acronym PACS, would undermine traditional family values.
In France, the law would affect mainly the 4.4 million heterosexual couples who live together but are not married. Forty percent of French children are now born to unmarried couples. The number of gay couples is unknown.
The PACS law would, among other things, let couples file tax forms together after three years; help people bring foreign partners to France; force employers to take couples' joint vacation plans into account and make partners accountable for each others' debts.

Obstacles hamper food delivery
Relief supplies slow to reach southeast Mexico
CUETZALAN, Mexico - Two days after the end of the festival, the Ferris wheel and the merry-go-round still stand beside the 17th-century stone church. There's no way to remove them.
The Associated Press
The bare shelves in the shops of this picturesque tourist town and the worried faces of its people reflect another side of the same problem: There's little way to get food in.

town of 46,000, knocking down a major bridge to the east and wiping out sections of the highway south.

"Money isn't very valuable if there isn't anything to buy," she said.
People in scores of other towns across the mountainous region have similar fears. The storms, which killed at least 359 people, cut road and bridge access. Continuing poor weather is restricting aid flights.
"When the food runs out, what are we going to do?" asked Miguel Baltazar Ramirez, a 24-year-old music teacher.
The two were among scores of stranded tourists who were able to leave Cuzetalan on Tuesday by taking a 40-minute truck ride to the Apulco River, where oarsmen in two small boats fought a churning current to cross the 130-foot-wide span, dodging chunks of concrete from the broken bridge above.

Cuetzalan, a quaint colonial town 100 miles northeast of Mexico City, had been celebrating its biggest festival of the year in honor of Saint Francis, attracting hundreds of tourists and craft vendors.

Spacecraft searches for signs of life on Europa
The Associated Press
PADUA, Italy — Hundreds of cosmic scientists gathered in Galileo's homeland yesterday, hoping to learn from a spacecraft named Galileo whether a heavenly body the Renaissance astronomer discovered four centuries ago might support life
The NASA spacecraft Galileo, winding down a two-year, $30 million probe of Jupiter, made its closest ever flyby of the planet's moons earlier this week, passing within 380 miles of Io. Jupiter's innermost large moon.
But many of the scientists here are more interested in Jupiter's fourth largest moon, Europa, spotted by Galileo in 1610. Much of the NASA probe's data on Europa is still being analyzed.

"There should be dozens of high-resolution images, close-ups hundreds of times better than anything we've seen before," said Torrance Johnson, the Galileo project scientist.

Europa is very hot these days. Not in terms of temperature — the surface is blindly bright ice and the thermometer hovers around minus 260 degrees — but in terms of the search for life beyond Earth.
search for the key factors Some scientists here think that Europe, the brightest object in our solar system other than the Sun, may have the elements needed for life: water, a heat source deep in the core and organic molecules.
With so much tantalizing evidence pointing to the conditions for life on Europa, scientists are eager to learn more. The Galileo spacecraft will make several more passes by Europa before funding runs out next year.

If all goes well, NASA's Europa Orbiter Mission will take off in November 2003 and reach Europa five years later. The space agency is soliciting ideas for the orbiter from the scientific community.

Scientists have created cancer-resistant mice by deleting certain genes that govern the formation of blood vessels — a breakthrough that could lead to new drugs for wiping out tumors in people.

people.
The 57 specially bred mice were each injected with 100 million tumor cells. Many of them didn't develop cancer at all; others grew tumors, but they eventually shrank or didn't spread. Deleting most copies of the genes appeared to have no harmful side effects for the mice.
Last year, in one of the most celebrated developments in angiogenesis research, physician Judah Folkman of Harvard University reported that two proteins, angiotatin and endotatin, caused tumors in rats to shrink or disappear by cutting off their blood supply. Tests on people are about to get under way.
The finding is the latest advance in one of the most exciting and promising areas of cancer research: angiogenesis, or blood vessel formation. Scientists are trying to find ways to kill cancer by stopping the
growth of the blood vessels that nourish tumors.
The mice study, published in today's issue of the journal Nature, involves two genes called Id1 and Id3 that were found to play a vital role in the little-understood process of angiogenesis.

One of the researchers, Robert Benzema, a cell biologist at New York's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, said the findings could lead to drugs that target tumors by inactivating the genes.

Basketball family mourns Wilt's death
CAMBODIA
By Matt Tait
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
Chamberlain: died of an apparent heart attack
The Kansas basketball family lost one of its most famed members Tuesday. Yesterday, Kansas coach Roy Williams spoke on the loss of that member — Wilt Chamberlain.
The former Kansas center died suddenly of congestive heart failure Tuesday at his Bel Air, Calif., home, said Chamberlain's assistant, Sy Goldberg. Goldberg told The Associated Press yesterday that Chamberlain had lost 30 to 40
pounds during the last few weeks and that his health had deteriorated rather quickly during the last month.
"This is a huge loss for the Kansas basketball family." Williams said. "Over 11 years ago when I came here I wanted to make sure people understood that past players would be important to our program. What he did in the game of basketball will never be touched."
The news of Chamberlain's death reached the nation late Tuesday
afternoon. As Chamberlain's fans and family alike came out one after another to mourn their fallen hero, Williams transcended both lines as a boy, Williams rooted for Chamberlain, and as a man, Williams became a part of his basketball family.
"He was always one of my heroes," Williams said. "I always rooted for him against Bill Russell, and I didn't like the fact that people blamed one man for not winning championships."
Members of Kansas' current basketball team, some who met Chamberlain two years ago, expressed their sympathy as well.
"It is a loss. It was an honor to meet him because of what he did at the University of Kansas and in the NBA," said senior forward Nick Bradford. "Any time we lose someone in the Kansas family, it is difficult. We mourn for his family, and we recognize his accomplishments."
Williams, who worked under legendary North Carolina coach Dean Smith for 10 years, also talked of Smith's comments about coaching

Anticipation and aspiration filled the Naismith Lounge in Allen Fieldhouse yesterday as the women's basketball team met to discuss the coming season.
The message throughout Media Day was the same — the team would like to make it to the Final Four, and it thinks that is a legitimate goal.
"We have a solid returning nucleus," said Jennifer Jackson, junior point guard. "Everyone is healthy, and we are very focused. We know that our goals are high, and it will take a lot of work. It takes a 12-month commitment to get to the Final Four, and we feel like we have accomplished that. We're bigger and stronger, and I don't think our goals are unrealistic."
The team has a special reason to desire a trip to the Final Four this season, more so than in the past because this year it will be held in Philadelphia, where coach Marian Washington was raised.
"It would be especially special to go to
the Final Four this year because it is in Coach Washington's home town," said Casey Pruitt, sophomore guard. "She could play in front of her home crowd and her mom. And the regional is in Kansas City, so we would have local support. We can have the place full of our fans."
However, Washington pointed out that getting to the Final Four took a seasonlong commitment.
"Everything has to fall into place to make it to the Final Four," Washington said. "We have to get a good seed, which has been a problem for us in the past. It really hurt us last year to have to play Purdue on their home court in the second round. The girls have to realize that they have to work hard every game to earn a good seed."
Last season, the team had similar goals after making a Sweet 16 appearance in 1997.

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Within the dim atmosphere of Ahearn Fieldhouse, the Kansas volleyball team was left in the dark last night.
The Jayhawks saw their three-match winning streak snapped in a 3-1 loss to No. 13 Kansas State in front of a crowd of 5,011. The loss dropped Kansas to 13-5 overall and 4-3 in the Big 12 Conference. K-State improved to 13-2 overall and remained the only undefeated team in the Big 12 at 7-0.

The Jayhawks were dominated by K-State's outside hitters Cady and sophomore Liz Wegner. Cady had a match-high 29 kills, while Wegner chipped in 20.

Let's all put Wilt's death in perspective
The problem with sports is the same thing that's wonderful about it. It's that the good has been stretched too far. This has become even more obvious after Wilt Chamberlain died Tuesday of an apparent heart attack.
Listening to and reading what people said after Chamberlain's death, you would have thought they were talking about Robocop. They called him "invincible," and "indestructible." Even "larger than life."
With all due respect to Chamberlain and his loved ones, give me a break.
Invincible? Popeye after a spinach meal is invicible.
Indestructible? The Roman empire in its prime was indestructible.
Larger than life? God, maybe.
But Wilt Chamberlain? Come on. He was more than seven feet tall. A heart can't
pump blood to more than seven feet of human being for much more than Chamberlain's 63 years.

Look at the record book and you'll have no problem seeing he was a spectacular athlete; averaged more than 50 points twice during an NBA season; scored 100 points one game; led the league in assists one year; played professional

volleyball and held several track records while at Kansas.
Roy Williams said that Chamberlain was his "hero" as a boy. Someone who had played with Chamberlain said he "wasn't supposed to die." What if Chamberlain had never scored more than 75 points in a game? Still not supposed to die? 50 points?
I don't mean to pick on Chamberlain or trivialize his death. From everything people say about him, he tried to use his celebrity status for good. Much of his effect on people probably had to do with his sheer size. When he came to Kansas a few years ago for his jersey retirement, his physical dominance only added to his already substantial mystique.
"He made Eric Chenowith look like a point guard," former North Carolina coach Dean Smith once told Williams.
That day he stayed at Allen Fieldhouse well after the Jayhawks beat KState just signing autograph after autograph after autograph. Bob Frederick, athletics director, timed Chamberlain.
Why is someone with superior athletic ability thought to be a superior being? Maybe nobody on this planet can drive a bus like you. Nobody notices. Maybe you're the best chemist in the world. Nobody cares.
"Three hours and 18 minutes," he said.
"There was not one person in the fieldhouse that day who wanted Wilt's autograb but did not get it."
But hit a baseball over a fence 70 times in a season, and you're a hero. Score 100 points in one game, and you're "not supposed to die."
Chamberlain obviously had a huge impact on millions of people, most of whom never met him. And that's what I'm getting at.
But like I said in the first sentence, this is the same thing that's wonderful about sports, it's just gone too far sometimes. The right athletes give us people to look up to. They give us an example of achievement to strive for.
Taken in moderation, athletics can show us what hard work can help us accomplish. It can also show us what can happen if we take what we have for granted.
But when you start thinking someone is invincible because he can dunk a basketball, you're not taking it in moderation. No, say someone is indestructible, larger than life or not supposed to die, and you're downing the entire bottle.
Sports are a great way to leave reality once in a while. Football fans can forget their bosses, their deadlines and their debts for a few hours every weekend. That's wonderful. But start saying that Brett Favre is indestructible because he led another fourth-quarter comeback last Sunday, and you've gone too far.

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is an 8.
You might take off on an adventure. It would be a good idea to have your team's support. Check with a more experienced person to make sure you haven't forgotten anything. Otherwise, only dispense information on a need-to-know basis.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
Instead of worrying about your money, count it. Play with it. Figure out how much you'll have in five and ten years at the present rate of return. Travel looks good tomorrow, so make plans to do that. Meanwhile, figure out how much you can afford to spend.
Gemini: Today is an 8.
There's a bit of a controversy brewing. Don't bite into somebody who disagrees with you. Be respectful. You're the student, and the other person is the teacher. Assume that attitude, and you'll be much more successful — and happier, too.
Cancer; Today is a 6.
There's plenty of work to do, and more comes in all the time. Look sharp; things could change quickly. Watch for surprises. You may not feel that great, either. Keep distractions to a minimum and watch out for breakage. Stay calm; it'll help.
Leo: Today is a 7.
The object of your affection is playing hard to get. Don't come on too strong. Be compassionate, warm and loving instead. Go along with the rules the other person sets. If you do it your way, you'll get nowhere.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
Does something at home need to be fixed or rearranged? Is there something you'd love to throw away so you'd have an excuse to buy new? Could you clean out the garage and rent it as a spare room? Do something that changes your life forever — for the better.
Libra; Today is an 8.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
Sagittarius: Today is an 8.
Today should be interesting and amusing.
Don't forget to do something you promised,
though. If you get that one little detail checked
off your list, you could receive a nice benefit.
If you forget it, you could miss a great opportunity.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
Try not to draw attention to yourself. You're not quite ready to answer questions yet. If you run into the reporters, don't take the Fifth. That will cause suspicion. Be friendly but noncommittal, instead.
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
You could advance in your career again today. You may have been reluctant to take this next step, but it should turn out OK. You have your friends' support, so trust their advice. Follow your sweetheart's suggestion, too.
-
Today you're under pressure, and something's nagging at the back of your brain. It might be someone who's chipping away at you, but it might be the voice inside your own head. Either way, once the job is done, you can relax.

AUTHORITY
You can get a lot done today, especially if you've got a team. They're in the mood to do what you say, so be direct. Something that you thought would work could disappoint you, however. Be ready with Plan B.
Pisces: Today is a 6.
try tor that promotion or better job even if you're not sure you can get it. It might not happen yet, but you'll never get where you want to go if you're not headed in the right direction. It's not really easy, but it could be profitable.

against Chamberlain in the 1957 NCAA national championship game — a triple-overtime game won by North Carolina that Chamberlain later in his life called the biggest disappointment that he ever felt.
"People were in awe of how big he was," Williams said Smith told him. "He made Eric Chenowith look like a point guard."
However, beyond his size and imposing presence, Williams said that he marveled at the wide variety of things Chamberlain could do on the court.

"The most amazing thing to me is the wide variety of skills he had. If one year he decided to lead the league in assists, he did," Williams said. "They changed the game because of him — very few people do they change the game for."
With the kickoff to Kansas' basketball season scheduled for tomorrow at Late Night, Williams said that he expected a moment of silence for Chamberlain and that he would discuss with the team how it could honor the Kansas legend during the coming season.
Yesterday, others around the
nation mourned Chamberlain's death immediately.
At the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass., flags flew at half-mast and an exhibit was set up honoring him. Included in the exhibit were sneakers, photographs and jerseys — including the one he wore when he scored 100 points in a single game in 1962 — as well as a
small, black wreath with the date of his death hanging over a silver medallion with his picture on it.
Funeral arrangements are set for noon Saturday at the City of Angels Church of Religious Science in Los Angeles.

On the water, University of Kansas rower Stacie Craine has learned from Coach Rob Catloth for four years. This semester, though, Frain, Citrus Heights, Calif., graduate student, became the teacher, and students at South Junior High were her pupils
Frain, a member of the second- varsity boat, earned an education degree last May and began her student teaching in August. Her student teaching is part of her studies for a master's degree.
She's rowing in her fifth year because she had a medical redshift her sophomore year. Frain injured her back lifting weight in January 1997.
While Frain must juggle rowing and being in the classroom for the rest of the semester, she said the first six weeks of student teaching were hectic.
"My day usually started at 5:30 in the morning and ended around 8 at night." Frain said.
She lifted weights at 6 a.m., taught at South from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m., had rowing practice from either 4 to 7 m., or 5 to 7 p.m. and got home at 8 each night.
Oh, and then there's one other thing: coaching.
Brain taught biology and earth and life sciences for South teacher
"Kathy kept telling them I could benchpress my roommate."

Kathy Stuntz, who is the sophomore volleyball coach at Free State High School. Frain also is helping coach the sophomore team at Free State, including the Firebirds last varisty home matches against Shawnee Heights and Topeka West on Tuesday night.
"I helped during tryouts in August and have been to all the sophomore matches," Frain said. "I go to varsity and junior varsity matches after rowing practice when I can."
Stuntz said Frain was very involved in practices, including doing pushups with the team when they missed serves. She also said Frain would be a good teacher.
"I've had many student teachers, and Stacie's the best one I ever had," Stuntz said. "She has a command of presence. When she walks in the room, the kids take notice. But at the same time, she shows that she cares. Her humor is important, too."
Stunz even learned some things from Frain, especially on the computer.
"I enjoy having the student teachers here because they open doors for me," Stuntz said. "Stacie used some lessons involving the Internet. All 28 students were huddled around her. You could have heard a pin drop."
Frain said most of the kids were impressed that she was an athlete at Kansas. She laughed when recalling how Stuntz bragged about Frain's strength.
"Kathy kept telling them that I could bench press my roommate," Frain said.
Frain showed the students rowing highlights from last season.
"A lot of the students had never seen rowing before," Frain said. "They had a bunch of questions. I told them about our practice and weightlifting schedules. They were really impressed."
Bryce Wilson, South freshman,
enjoyed having Frain as a teacher.
"She's a pretty cool teacher," Wilson said. "You can relate to her because she's younger and a college student, but she's still a teacher, so you can't get away with too much."
Frain hopes to teach in Kansas initially but said after that it was all up in the air.
She will be student teaching at the high school level next semester.

Triple-post offense will give Jayhawks Big 12 advantage
By Melinda Weaver sports@kansan.com Kansan writerswriter
When the Kansas women's basketball team takes the court this season, its offense will look familiar to NBA fans. That is because they will be running the triple-post offense, known by Chicago Bulls fans as The Triangle.
Coach Marian Washington and her staff have been working to develop the offense for several years, and Washington said the team finally was able to employ the system this season.
"Over the past four or five years, we have been playing with the triple-post offense and the sets that come with that philosophy." Washington said. "We finally feel that we have the players and are recruiting the players to fit this offense."
The triple post is an up-tempo offense that builds on versatility. There are several options that come from running the offense that allow the players to work with their strengths and run plays with which they are comfortable.
"It plays to everyone's
strengths," said Jennifer Jackson, senior point guard. "It is impossible to screw up in this offense. When you are open for a shot that you know you can make, you can take it. But if you aren't, there is usually someone who is. You just have to make a good pass."
The offense also helps to take the pressure off Lynn Pride to score big points in every game.
"It ites everyone an opportunity to shoot," Casey Pruitt, sophomore guard, said. "It opens things up for Jaclyn, Jennifer and Suzi, not just Lynn. Everyone has a chance to shoot; it makes the game faster, the way Coach likes it. Then, we also have to step it up on defense."
The unstructured offense is not used often in collegiate ball, giving Kansas an advantage against many other Big 12 Conference schools.
"It is very hard to scout," Suzi Raymant, senior guard, said. "We don't have to run any set plays. When our schools are watching game tapes, they will see a play and think, 'Well, they started in this set and then did this,' but it will not necessarily be the same every
"We all look to each other. This isn't Lynn's team; this is our team."

time."
While most teams have been able to concentrate their defensive game plays on stopping Lynn Pride, the options provided by the triple post will force teams to focus on all five players, helping the team build a stronger chemistry and rely on each other.
"The defense really has to be on their toes because we can score from any position on the floor, and anyone can have a big game," Jaclyn Johnson, junior forward, said. "It takes the heat off of one person. If they want to focus on Lynn Pride, they can, but they will have to worry about four other people. We all look to each other. This isn't Lynn's team; this is our team."

The Kansas women's basketball team will run a new triple-post offense this season, which should alleviate some of the pressure on Pride.

Team's attitude key to season
Continued from page 1B
down with season-ending injuries, and the season did not go as well as the team expected.
Raymant and White return this season, adding more depth in the lineup. Raymant's return also adds an outside shooting threat that was missing last season. An outside shooting threat will force defenders to play the outside tighter, preventing them from playing senior Lynn Pride and the post players as tightly.
"I'm out to score," Raymant said. "I will provide the outside shot as well as help run the offense."
Even though White missed last season, Washington said that White was the top candidate to replace Nakia Sanford, last season's starting center.
"She has the body and the attitude that you need in that position," Washington said. "The only difference is that Nakia could play most of the minutes in a game, and we haven't seen if Nikki can put in 20 plus minutes. She is recovering very well. I would say she is at 85 percent."
The return of key starters combined with the team's new attitude provides plenty of reason for the team to be optimistic.
"I am excited about the team this season," said Heather Fletcher, senior center. "We have such focus this season and know what it takes to reach our set goals. We are focused on working together, and we are growing together because we are learning to communicate. We know what everyone of us are going through, and it helps us work toward our goals."

Former backup leads Aggies
45 TEXAS A&T

Kansas sportswriter
For Kansas football fans, last season's 24-21 loss to Texas A&M was a glimmer of light in an otherwise dismal start to the season.
For Aggie quarterback Randy McCown, however, last season's game against the Jayhawks was his first step on the road to national prominence.
Making his first start at quarterback after Branndon Stewart was benched, McCown and the Aggies found themselves trailing the Jayhawks 21-17 late in the fourth quarter.
While Kansas appeared to have control of the momentum, McCown was in the midst of a horrendous nine of 18 performance. Suddenly, McCown took the Aggies — and the game — by the reigns and officially came of age.
"I just told the guys, 'let it go.' McCown said after the game.
Suddenly, McCown transformed from a frazzled and inexperienced career backup into a team leader. McCown led Texas A&M on an 11-play, 75-yard touchdown drive that effectively ended the game and jumpstarted McCown's career.
McCown led the Aggies to a 102-regular season record last season before missing the final two games of the season with a broken collarbone. McCown was limited to a spectator as Stewart led the Aggies to their defining win of 1998 — a 36-33 win against the top-ranked Kansas State Wildcats in the Big 12 Conference Championship Game.
During the summer, McCown's collarbone healed and he was back at work, leading the Aggies through summer workouts in the scalding Texas sun.
This season, his numbers have improved from last year. McCown has passed for more than 250 yards in three of the Aggies first five games, leading Texas A&M to a 4-1 record. In comparison, McCown failed to reach the 200-yard barrier in any of his 10 appearances in 1988.
In fact, McCown's notable improvement in the past year has impressed even Aggie coach R.C. Slocum.
"Randy's overall performance has been good." Slocum said.
Kansas coach Terry Allen knows
that the makeup of the Aggies offense has changed drastically from last season's near-victory, and those changes begin and end with McCown.
"The key to their offense has been Randy McCown." Allen said. "He's their playmaker, he's their senior leader, and he's been pretty good."
Despite McCown's marked
improvement since last season. Slocum said his quarterback still had two major losses he tried
ATM
to do too much and had a run first, pass later mentality.
"Randy's biggest fault is that he takes on too big of a burden and tries
to do too much," Slocum said. "He has a competitive spirit and tries too hard sometimes instead of making the plays that he can make and doing what it takes to go on."
Take the Aggies 21-19 loss to Texas Tech two weeks ago. Twice the Aggies had the chance to take a lead in the fourth quarter, only to have drives ended by McCown's interceptions.
"The nature of the position is tough." Slocum said. "When things don't go well, the quarterback draws a lot of attention."
McCown surely will on Saturday, especially since he has become a big-time player since the Jayhawks last saw him.

MANHATTAN — Nobody's ever going to mistake Joe Hall for a wide receiver. Even after shedding 42 pounds since the summer, he's still Division I's builker running back.
The Associated Press
Wildcats to bulk up backfield
But people aren't mistaking Kansas State's 6-foot-2, 285-pound junior for an offensive lineman anymore, either — not after he's proved he has not only the size to play backback but the moves to play halfback as well.
That's just what the No. 9 Wildcats will need him to do Saturday, when they play host to Utah State with leading rusher Frank Murphy sidelined by ankle surgery.
Hall, a transfer from Palomar (Calif) Community College, is listed as the backup to both halfback David Allen and fullback Johnmo Lazetich. Already this season, he has rushed for 137 yards and two touchdowns in four games, averaging 5.5 yards per carry.
"The emergence of Joe Hall and his ability to play two positions lightens the load a little bit," Coach Bill Snyer said.
Hall actually had designs on the halfback's job from the start.
"I had the choice to either being the third running back starting out or split time at fullback with Johnno," said Hall, who started Kansas State's second game against Texas-El Paso when Lazetich was injured in the season opener. "I didn't want to end up sitting the bench, regardless, so I decided that playing
fullback would be the best thing for me."
Now, with Murphy out indefinitely, Hall's versatility has paid off in more playing time.
"We needed to get Joe in the game whether at fullback or tailback," offensive coordinator Ron Hudson said. "And you can see why we recruited him out of California. The guy's a load. He's 285 pounds and he can run that fast, you have to take advantage of that."
Hall, who runs the 40-yard dash in 4.6 seconds, has been large all his life. In ninth grade, Hall said he weighed 240, but he has always played running back.
C
After taking 17 credit hours at Kansas State during the summer to become eligible to play, Hall arrived at the Wildcats' camp weighing 397 pounds.
But Hall's size beltes his agility, which he credits to playing basketball in his off-time.
"When I came in people looked at my weight and thought I was an offensive lineman," said Hall, who would like to play at 260 pounds eventually.
"Obviously I have a little power," Hall said. "I have a little bit more speed for somebody with my size. I think people are surprised when I can get away from them. But, most of the defensive backs close their eyes when they see me coming."
"I try to make some moves out there. If I just wanted to run over people, I would have been an offensive lineman."
Cornhuskers ready for weekend off
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska can afford to look ahead this weekend.
Actually, the No. 3 Cornhuskers don't really have a choice. Nebraska (6-0 overall, 2-0 in the Big 12 Conference) doesn't play a game Saturday for the first time since opening the season six weeks ago.
With a defense that's holding opponents to a little more than nine points per game and an offense that scored 11 touchdowns in its last two games, the 'Huskers are rolling. Coach Frank Solich hopes the week doesn't take away any momentum.
Three of those coaches will face Nebraska in its next four games. First up is Texas next Saturday. The Longhorns (5-2) snapped Nebraska's 47-game win winning streak last year. They also have this weekend off
"This team has improved and I like where it's at right now." Solich said. "But there are a lot of other coaches out there saying the same thing — that they like where their football team is at right now in the season, too, and there's many of those in this conference yet and we have to play them."
The 'Huskers then travel to Kansas (2-4, 0-2) on Oct. 30 before returning to Lincoln for games against Texas A&M and
N
Hawks
Kansas State, two teams with the potential to be in the Top 10 when they visit Memorial Stadium. Kansas State (5-0, 2-0) is already there at No. 9 and A&M (5-1, 4-1) is No. 13.
The 'Huskers are, for the most part, healthy for halfway into the season, and Solich hopes to keep it
that way. Nebraska started out the week working out in sweats and does not plan to hold full-contact drills until next week.
Linebacker Eric Johnson, out since Sept. 18 when he strained a knee ligament against Southern Mississippi, returned to practice Tuesday and hopes to play at Texas next week. Fullback Willie Miller and No. 2 quarterback Jeff Perino, who sat out Saturday's 49-14 win against Iowa, are also practicing again.
"We've played six games now and you get a lot of bumps and bruises accumulated. I think it's going to help our team get over that," Solich said. "I think this team is smart enough to know that if you don't use every week to get better, then you're probably getting a little worse. You can't afford that when you have the kind of schedule that we've got."

Braves win 4-3, lead NL series
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — All of a sudden, that injury to All-Star catcher Javy Lopez is hurting the New York Mets a lot more than the Atlanta Braves.
Backup Eddie Perez reprised his role as the unlikely hero, teaming with Brian Jordan to hit two-run homers in the sixth inning and lead Kevin Millwood and the Braves against the Mets 4-3 yesterday for a 2-0 lead in the National League Championship Series.
Showing how serious they are, the Braves brought in John Smoltz for the first relief appearance, of his major
league career that began in 1988. The Game 4 starter pitched a perfect ninth for a save.
Lopez got a big cheer when he threw out the ceremonial first ball before Game 2, yet it was Perez that had the crowd of 44,624 chanting "Ed-die! Eddie!" after he delivered again.
Perez, who took over full time after Lopez was lost for the year to a knee problem in late July, had not homed at Turner Field this season until connecting Tuesday night in a 4-2 victory in the opener.
The lightning strike ruined an afternoon for the Mets in which most everything seemed to be going their way but instead gave Millwood his second victory of the postseason.
Edgardo Alfonzo finished Millwood with an RBI double in the eighth. John Rocker protected the lead by striking out John Olerud — who threw his bat flailing away — and Robin Ventura to end the inning.
Now, after its 11th loss in 14 meetings with Atlanta. New York returns to sold-out Shea Stadium for Game 3 Saturday night. Al Leiter, a savior all year for the Mets, starts against Tom Glavine.

Jordan had just sliced a drive off the right-field foul screen against Kenny Rogers to tie it 2-2 when Andruw Jones followed with a single. With the smoke from the fireworks set off after Jordan's shot still drifting across the field, Perez launched a drive into the left-field seats.

The Mets' big hitters, however, did little. Mike Piazza, Olerud and Ventura combined to go 0-for-10, leaving them 1-for-21 in the series.
The Braves got a runner on in every inning against Rogers, but many of them didn't last long on the bases. Leadoff man Gerald Williams hit a single in the first and was quickly picked off, and grounded into 6-4-3 double plays in his next two at-bats.

Williams homer lifts Yankees to win

There were trappings of history in the air on the cool autumn night made damp by an on-and-off rain. Not that Boston needed a reminder, but several fans brought along banners emblazoned "1918," the year of Boston's last World Series victory.
Two years later, the Red Sox traded Babe Ruth to the Yankees, and since then New York has won 24 Series titles and Boston none.
Young awaiting OK to play
49ers quarterback meets with doctors, specialists to discuss his retirement
The Associated Press
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — His agent, family and friends have all told Steve Young he's taken enough hits to the head and should retire. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback still would like to play, unless his doctors say the same thing.
That is a possibility, and it could happen this week.
young, fighting the effects of the worst in a series of concussions during the last three years, was expected to meet with his neurologist, Gary Steinberg, and team physician James Klint, yesterday.
Young's agent, Leigh Steinberg, who is not related to the neurologist, said yesterday that the medical meeting might result in Young being given clearance to resume playing, or it could signal the end of his career.
Young still has every intention of rejoining the 49ers and hopes to get medical clearance to play again.
However, Leigh Steinberg said the upcoming meeting also might produce a recommendation that Young, a two-time league MVP and the highest-rated passer in NFL history, should quit because of the potential health risks from another concussion. Repeated concussions can cause premature senility and other brain dysfunctions.
Young, who turned 38 on Monday and is in his 15th NFL season, suffered his fourth concussion in three years on Sept. 27 against Arizona. He was leveled by blitzing cornerback Aeneas Williams, and his head struck tackle Dave Fiore's knee before slamming into the ground.
The force of the blow left him unconscious for several seconds.
sectors for Jeff Garcia has started two games in place of the injured Young, and coach Steve Mariucci said Monday that Young likely would miss a third straight start Sunday, when the 49ers play Carolina.
Even if Young receives medical clear-
Mariuciu is preparing himself for the possibility that Young may retire.
may not to think about it. Marrcole said, "but it's constantly being discussed." San Francisco plays at Minnesota on Oct. 24, and it's unlikely that Young would return for that game, which will be played on an unforgiving artificial surface. The 49ers then have a bye week, meaning that the earliest Young would return to play, provided he receives clearance, could be Nov. 7, when San Francisco plays host to Pittsburgh.
Last week, Young conceded he was bothered by headaches and grogginess after trying to resume practice with the team.
Young's latest concession appears to be the most serious one he has suffered. He endured two in 1996 and another in the 1997 season-opener at Tampa Bay.
"I try not to think about it," Marilucci
did, "but it's certainly being discussed."
Leigh Steinberg said he, along with Young's family and some of his friends, had been urging Young to retire for the last two years, and they renewed their calls in the aftermath of the latest concussion.
Young has said he still has a passion for football, and whether he left the sport or not was a matter he wanted left primarily between him and his doctors.
His agent said in all probability it would take a persuasive recommendation from his doctors to convince Young he should retire.
ance to resume playing. Mariucci said he would probably rest him for an additional period of time to make sure he's all right.
"I don't know what the doctor is going to say, and I don't think this is an exact science, which is why I think you should retire if you take a couple of hits like that to the head," Leigh Steinberg said. "But if a doctor told him he risked serious future ramifications imperiling his ability to think long term, or he risked possible brain damage. I think that would have an impact on him.
"He's obviously had a couple of weeks to start thinking about the possibilities. And even if we do get a thumbs down from the doctors, we're not going to do anything precipitous. This is not John Elway leaving after a Super Bowl. Steve has been to training camp and he's been playing this season. He may need more time."
Spinal injury may force Irvin to retire
The Associated Press
IRVING, Texas - Michael Irvin hinted today that he might have to give up football because of a neck injury that temporarily paralyzed him.
Irvin didn't use the word retire, but he swallowed hard, clenched his teeth and paused before answering questions about his future. His voice cracked and his eyes redened.
"I love playing the game," the Dallas Cowboys star receiver said, speaking softly, slowly and without his usual verve. "But I'd
be lying to you if I tell you that in the last couple of days it hasn't come up."
Irvin sustained a swollen spinal cord and herniated disc after slamming his head into the turf early in Sunday's 13-10 loss to t
DALLAS COWBOYS
Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The 12-year veteran said he tried getting up after the play but couldn't. He then stared at the sky above Veterans Stadium and feared the worst.
He was relieved a few minutes later when feeling returned to his finger and toes while in an ambulance.
"I was just scared," he said. "I thought about not playing with my son."
That contrasted with the good spirits coach Chan Gailey described Irvin as being in when he flew home Monday. But this time Irvin had just come from a visit to a spine specialist. He had nothing to report about his condition, saying that the doctor spoke only in medical terms.
Wearing a neck brace that also supports his chin, Irvin spoke to reporters for about 10 minutes while sitting in front of his locker at the team's training center.
Before meeting with the media, Irvin also spent about 20 minutes talking to teammate Daryl Johnston, who is out the rest of this season and may have to retire because of a second neck injury in three years.

President wants to protect forestland
Timber interests call conservation reckless
The Associated Press
REDDISH KNOB OVERLOOK, Va. With the Shenandoah Valley's first tinges of fall color for a backdrop President Clinton said yesterday that his sweeping plan to place 40 million acres of federal forestland off-limits to development would not harm the timber industry.
The remote, largely pristine parcels of land Clinton wants to preserve represent a mere fraction of federally owned forest,
he said. Vast reaches of other federal timberland already are available for logging and other development, he said.
"It is very important to point out that we are not trying to turn our national forests into museums," Clinton said as he detailed a plan environmentalists call progressive and the timber industry has called reckless.
His program would prevent or restrict road-building through the larger sections of currently roadless federal forest, most of it in the West.
Less than 5 percent of timber harvested in America comes from national forests, and of that amount just 5 percent comes from roadless areas, Clinton said.
Roads open forest areas to development.
erosion and pollution. They also disrupt wildlife, plant life and natural systems. But roadless federal land also contains some of the most desirable timber owned by the Forest Service. Timber companies and their allies in Congress oppose any effort to close off future development.
The president took a few swipes at congressional Republicans, several of whom already have denounced the forest plan, for what he described as shortlighted views on the environment.
He also threatened to veto the Interior Department spending bill, which controls funding for a host of environmental and preservation projects, if Republicans do not amend it to be more environmentally friendly.
911 caller kills 3 cops in shootout
The Associated Press
PLEASANTON, Texas — Three law officers were lured to a trailer park by a bogus 911 call and shot to death by a gunman who wounded two others before killing himself, authorities said.
Jeremiah Engleton, 21, kept firing from his hiding place in a thicket as up to 75 officers surrounded the rural area Tuesday night. After a three-hour standoff, he shot himself in the head, investigators said.
One of the slain officers had arrested Engleton early that morning on charges of beating his wife, and a counselor with the sheriff's department had persuaded her to take their 15-month-old daughter and
leave him.
That night, after England was released, he called 911. Then he ducked into a thicket of cactuses and mesquite trees and waited for the patrol cars to arrive, investigators said.
Sheriff's Deputies Mark Stephenson, 32, and Thomas Monse, 31, were shot to death as they approached the trailer. Neither had time to call for help.
State Trooper Terry Miller, 37, was sent to the scene when the deputies did not respond to radio calls. He pulled up 20 minutes later and was shot fatally through the windshield.
Engleton shot at police with an assault rifle until officers using infrared equipment from a helicopter spotted him in the thicket.

Militiamen return to Timor to battle with peacekeepers

The United Nations has urged the
LIQUICA, Indonesia — Dozens of anti-independence militiamen who fled East Timor are secretly returning with plans to launch a guerrilla campaign against the international peacekeepers charged with keeping them out.
The Associated Press accompanied a militia leader and his armed followers through the mountainous interior of the half-island territory this week. The Australian-led multinational force has clashed with, and killed, several militiamen in the past week.
"We are East Timorese. Why are the peacekeepers] trying to keep me out of East Timor?" militia leader Eurico Guterres asked Tuesday. "This is the place where I was born. I will fight to be in my own land, my own place."
The peacekeepers were deployed on Sept. 20 after the Indonesian army and its militia allies unleashed a wave of killings following an overwhelming vote for independence by East Timor's 850,000 people in a U.N.-sponsored referendum.
Indonesian Foreign Minister Ali Alatas urged Indonesia's parliament yesterday to approve East Timor's independence, saying the country could face economic sanctions if the legislators delay their decision.

militias to disarm and to help rebuild an independent East Timor. However, guerrilla leaders such as Guterres have ignored the appeal.
This week, he traveled from a militia stronghold on the border of Indonesian-controlled West Timor to a village in Liquica, about 30 miles west of Dili, East Timor's capital, where the peacekeeping force is based.
There, he inspected a group of about 150 militiamen, who he said had slipped into East Timor last week. Most had M16s, AK-47s and other automatic weapons; others carried homemade arms. All wore uniforms of Indonesia's military, which is accused of covertly supporting them.
"We are going to send more militias in soon. Maybe then we will fight," Guterres said as his men gathered in a secluded bamboo grove.
He and his Aitarak militia are accused by independence activists of several bloody attacks, which
the United Nations plans to investigate.
Hundreds of militiamen retreated into West Timor ahead of the arriving peacekeepers, and Guterres said they now are returning.
"I want to tell the world that the militias are not still just on the border, like the media says," he said. "We are back in East Timor and behind [the peacekeepers] lines."
Domestic & Foreign Complete Car Care
Despite the mililtia presence, a company of Australian mechanized infantry rolled into Liquica yesterday in their M113 armored personnel carriers.
"We're going to stay here permanently," said Capt. Jeremy Gillman-Wells, the Australian commander of the newly established garrison.
He said he planned to go into the hills overlooking the coastal town and appeal to an estimated 30,000 displaced people to return to Liquica and surrounding villages.

"The people up in the hills won't come down until they see that security has been re-established," Gillman-Wells said.

Greek chapters home to build an abode sweet for local family home

The foundation is poured, and the materials are ready.
Stories by Lori O'Toole • Photos by Roger Nomer
Members of University of Kansas sorority and fraternity chapters have two weeks to build a house, and they start today.
The house will be donated to the Lawrence Habitat for Humanity, an organization that sells homes on an interest-free mortgage to area residents in financial need.
Building will begin at the construction site, 1623 Wedgewood Drive, shortly after a nail-driving ceremony at noon.
Meg Godderz, greek programs graduate assistant, said the ceremony would be open to the public.
She said members of all 36 chapters would be working on the house during the next two weeks in order to reach the Oct. 30 completion deadline.
Habitat for Humanity scheduled a dedication ceremony for Oct. 31.
"We're hoping she'll be able to move in for the holidays." Goddard said.
The project — the House that Greeks Built — will be a "blitz build." It usually takes volunteers three to four months to build most of the Habitat for Humanity
nomes. Volunteers usually only work on Saturdays.
Dave Baldwin, who owns J & D Services, will lead the students in construction.
Chris Maxwell, Mission Hills senior. will lead a student construction committee of 12 students who have worked construction before in jobs or through family businesses
The committee will in turn lead small crews of three students.
Professionals will perform the work for the electricity and plumbing. The rest of the work
will be done by the students.
Godderz said the students planned to build the four walls of the house before daylight ended today, and to complete

The House that Greeks Built will be home for Presswood and her two daughters, 15-year-old Jennifer and 7-year-old Kiera.
Woman, daughters anticipate move to new house

in multiple-family housing. She and her biological daughter, Kiera, lived in a two-bedroom duplex for several years. After Presswood legally adopted Jennifer, who is actually her cousin, the three move into
their current three-bedroom apartment in east Lawrence, where they have lived for four years.
The three said their apartment home had its pluses, including the many neighborhood children Kiera plays with.
But the constant noise, the loud foot-steps overhead and the pranks — such as the anonymous doorbell ringers and wood chips in the keyhole — make them even more excited for their new home, which will be almost 400 square feet larger than their apartment.
The house also will have a garage and hook-ups for a washer and dryer, amenities the family has done without for years.
Presswood said she had known about Habitat for Humanity but didn't realized she qualified for it until she attended a meeting more than a year ago. Not long after the meeting, she applied and was accepted by the organization.
In two weeks, she will become a homeowner for the first time.
"I feel really special," Presswood said. "Rent is expensive, and without partnering with Habitat, I know I wouldn't be able to do it by myself as a

Battle of marching bands to occur Haskell Stadium
If the sound of music is in the air and Lawrence seems little more crowded tomorrow, it's because more than 3,700 musicians from 29 high school bands will march in the eighth annual Heart of America Marching Festival from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Haskell Indian Nations University Stadium.
The festival, sponsored by the University of Kansas Bands, welcomes high school students to compete against one another after working all season long to perfect their routines.
Tom Stidham, associate professor of music and dance, said the festival was something for which every band intensely prepared for.
"Most high school bands do the same halftime show every single game," Stidham said. "They're working toward perfecting their show for the festivals."
Bands will perform in 15-minute intervals until 5 p.m., when the KU Marching Jayhawks make an exhibition performance. An awards ceremony will follow.

For women looking to relive stress caused by midterms and learn how to defend themselves in the process, the Panhellenic Association and the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center have the answer.
Tomorrow from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., instructor Steven Flueck will lead a workout class with moves and drills similar to those of the popular Tae-Bo workout.
Self-defense workout is offered at Robinson
Christie Garton, Olathe junior and Panhellenic vice president of risk management, said the classes would also feature 15 minutes of self-defense moves toward the end of the hour.
Garton said attendees were encouraged to bring a $5 donation that would go toward R.A.I.N.N., Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network.
The class, which began last week,
will continue to meet every week
except Nov. 27 because of
Thanksgiving Break.
Lillian Ruggles, Wichita senior, was one of the three people who attended last week's session. She said the focus of the class was more on self-defense than aerobics.
"We hope people will come for more than one week," Garton said. "The classes build on each other."
"We learned different kicks and punches," she said. "I thought it would be more aerobic like kickboxing, but we ended up learning a lot of good self-defense techniques."
Women interested in attending tomorrow's workout should meet at the second floor blue gymnasium in Robinson Center.

FEMA buyout to help relocate flood victims
RALEIGH, N.C. — In what might be the biggest program of its kind, state and federal officials expect to spend up to $600 million buying properties and relocating people out of the path of future catastrophic floods such as the one spawned by Hurricane Floyd.
homes have been reported uninhabitable because of the flooding, and 6,344 of them have been described as destroyed by their owners.
"We want to help North Carolinians rebuild. And we want to help them rebuild out of ham's way — out of the flood plain," said John Copenhaver, regional director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency in Atlanta.
NATION
People whose properties are approved for the buyouts will be offered fair-market, pre-flood values for their properties, said Gavin Smith, the state's disaster mitigation director.
"FEMA has done buyouts before. But this buyout is designed to be faster and larger in scope than any others."
Eric Tolbert, state emergency management director, said the buyouts were expected to cost $500 million to $600 million.
Under the program, buyout applications will be made by local communities, and not individual property owners, who must contact local officials if they wish to participate.
CBS medical drama breaks language barrier
NEW YORK — CBS's Chicago Hope medical drama broke an obscurity barrier for network television last night with actor Mark Harmon's use of a common barnyard epithet.

The plan is expected to surpass the 8,000 buyouts that followed Hurricane Fran in 1996. Tolbert said that 15,280
'Shit happens,' Harmon said. Because producers felt strongly that the word was important for artistic truthfulness, CBS chose to support them, said representative Chris Ender.
"Shit happens," Harmon said.
"Clearly this is not something happening on a weekly basis," he said. "This is an isolated incident. It's not a sign or a signal that CBS is loosening its standards."
CBS is, in fact, taking special steps to respond to any of its more than 200 affiliates who may be concerned about offending viewers, he said. The network fed the video to affiliates yesterday afternoon, instead of live last night, to give the local stations the option of masking the word, he said.

U.S. jets bomb targets after Iraqi missile fire
ANKARA, Turkey — U.S. jets patrolling the nofly zone over northern Iraq bombed installations yesterday after being targeted by Iraqi missiles, the U.S. military said.
The planes bombed a number of Iraqi targets near the city of Mosul, 250 miles north of Baghdad.
The attack came after the Iraqi forces fired surface-to-air missiles on the jets from launchers east of Mosul, the statement said.
U. S. and British planes have been patrolling no-fly zones over northern and southern Iraq since the end of the 1991 Persian Gulf War. The zones were set up to protect Kurdish and Shiite minorities from the forces of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
All of the planes, based in Incitlik air base in southern Turkey, left the no-fly zone safely.

Nude trespasser case hears victims' sides

Kansan staff writer
Two female KU students testified yesterday in the preliminary hearing for the 19-year-old man who is accused of entering their homes and walking around naked.
The victims were two of seven witnesses who testified at the four-hour hearing at Division V of the Douglas County District Court.
Defendant William A. Morris, Danville, Ala., freshman, faces four charges stemming from the two events.
The first case is a result of events on July 19. Police say that Morris entered a house at the 1600 block of 22nd Terrace. The alleged victim testified that she woke to the naked defendant performing oral sex on her, prompting a charge of aggravated criminal sodomy in addition to a second charge of aggravated burglary.
The second case dates back to Sept. 11, when police say he entered a house at the 1200 block of Tennessee Street, walked around naked and knelt beside a resident's bed, resulting in one charge of aggravated burglary and one charge of attempted sexual battery.
Morris was apprehended by Lawrence police at 3 a.m. Sept. 11, shortly after he left the house in the 1200 block of Tennessee Street. The victim identified him, and Morris eventually confessed, police said.
As the investigation continued that weekend, Morris was linked to other "naked prowler" cases.
During his testimony, Detective John Lewis said he went to Morris' residence Sept. 13 and brought him to the station for further questioning. At that time, Morris confessed to the events on July 19. Lewis said the defendant said he experienced an adrenaline rush from exhibitionism.
"He said he had an erotic feeling "being in close proximity to a woman when he was naked," Lewis said.
In their closing arguments, the prosecution and the defense argued about Morris's intent in the Sept. 11 episode.
Assistant District Attorney Angela Wilson, prosecutor for the case, said the intent for the first case could be derived from the confession and facts of the second.
Harry Warren, Morris' attorney, said such reasoning was conjecture.
"Just the fact that there was a touch in one case requires the court to build an assumption upon an assumption," Warren said.
Wilson said the prosecution planned a motion to try the cases together.
Morris entered a not guilty plea for all charges in both cases. A trial date was set for 9 a.m. Dec. 6 at the Division V courtroom.

New center may be Robinson addition
Hemenway plans to make a decision within the month
By Chris Borniger
writer @kanson.com
Kansan staff writer
The new campus recreation center approved last spring by student referendum could end up right next to its predecessor.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway confirmed yesterday that he was considering building the center to the south or east of Robinson Center — possibly in the form of an addition to the building. He said he also would consider the land south of Watkins Memorial Health Center, the site recommended by the Student Senate Recreation Task Force last year.
The initiative on the ballot, taken from the task force's recommendations, passed 2,817 to 1,238. It asked students whether they would support an increase in student fees — up to $49 per semester — to provide $15.5 million to build the free-standing center.
"It's just good construction management to examine what your options are," Hemenway said. "We're obligated to look at any and all sites."
However, Hemenway said he was no longer considering West Campus a viable site for the center. He said he would make a final decision within a month. It would then require the approval of the Board of Regents and the Legislature. He said he would make the decision that was best for the University of Kansas.
"A referendum is always advisory." Hemenway said. "We've tried to take into account students' interests in this, but there's been no decision yet."
Scott Kaiser, former student body vice president and vice chairman of the task force, said the center's features were his primary concern.
"The size and scope of the facility are much more important than its location," he said. "If they decide to go with an addition that's smaller, that would fly in the face of
the referendum's intent and should concern students as undemocratic."
Kaiser also said that building the center south of Watkins would prevent removal of the tennis courts adjacent to Robinson.
Kevin Yoder, former student body president and chairman of the task force, said the area south of Watkins would allow space for future expansion.
"It makes more sense for the long-term vision of the University," he said. "An addition to Robinson is a poor option, and I think the chancellor won't consider it in the final scope of things."
Luke Pfannenstiel, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator and Delta Force president, disagreed. He said Delta Force lobbied against the referendum proposal because it wasn't the best available choice.
"We've always felt that an addition would be a better option," he said. "It makes better use of space. A lot of the things in Robinson work fine, and we felt they could just add in what extras were needed."
Among the features voters approved were four multi-purpose gymnasium courts, two racquetball courts, an aerobics and dance studio, a cardiovascular fitness and weight training center, a martial arts studio and a suspended walking and jogging track. The center would open in Spring 2002, available for student use 18 hours per day.
Tom Waechter, planning and programming manager for University Design and Construction Management, said an addition to Robinson would not affect any of those features.
"The reason we're pursuing it is so we can use existing space," he said. "It's still essentially the same scope of work and maybe a little less expensive."
The biggest impact of choosing the Robinson site, he said, would be removing the tennis courts and rerouting some underground drainage pipes.
Partha Mazumdar, graduate senator, said the Robinson site was preferable, even if it did contradict the referendum.
"The referendum was a recommendation," he said. "Was it negated? Yeah, sure it was. But Chancellor Hemenway has repeatedly said that the University of Kansas doesn't build buildings by referendum."

End of the road for Trafficway
By Derek Prater
Kansan staff writer
The South Lawrence Trafficway road show has taken its final bow, county and state officials say.
The Haskell Indian Nations University Board of Regents issued a press release Wednesday restating its opposition to an extension of the trafficway over 31st Street.
Craig Weinaum, Douglas County administrator, said given the positions of the agencies involved in the project, Haskell's decision left the trafficway with no place to go.
"it bastly ended the effort to complete the South Lawrence Trafficway," Weinaug said.
The Federal Highway Administration, which provided funds for work already completed on the project, gave the Haskell Board of Regents veto power on any proposal that would impact Haskell lands.
Carol Burns, Haskell student and secretary of the Wetlands Preservation Organization, said that she was proud of the board's stance and that students wanted to protect the wetlands for future generations.
Dean Carlson, transportation secretary, said the 31st Street route was the only option that his department thought possibly could be
"They think if they keep flashing money, they'll get people to change their minds. I think it's an insult for them to keep coming back and asking."

allowed and accomplish the goal of relieving traffic congestion on 23rd Street.
That route would require construction on historic Haskell lands and the Baker Wetlands.
The board's press release stated that the transportation department's hired consultants, Carter & Burgess, Inc. and Connolly Associates, indicated that no particular route was preferable to any other.
The board stated its objection to the 31st Street route after a meeting in May, but at another meeting on Tuesday, county, state and federal officials were allowed to present their cases to the board.
Carlsen presented the board with a $5 million mitigation package that the transportation
department would have provided for Haskell if the 31st Street route was approved.
The package included land from the Baker Wetlands and a $300,000 trust fund to maintain that land, noise reduction, a pedestrian crossing and a Haskell-approved archeologist to handle any artifacts or burial sites encountered during construction.
Board members expressed concerns that, despite the mitigation package, the proposal would harm historic lands and that other options were not being seriously addressed.
Members of the Wetlands Preservation Organization also spoke to the board and voiced their opposition to the trafficway.
romaine Ross, Haskell alumna and member of the organization, said that the mitigation package was not the answer.
"They think if they keep flashing money, they'll get people to change their minds," Ross said. "I think it's an insult for them to keep coming back and asking."
Weinaug said that the no-build option would not satisfy anyone.
"We're disappointed," he said. "We've been working very hard to meet the needs of the community in such a way that meets Haskell's needs also."
Ex-professor, known for humor, helpfulness, dies at 77

Edward L. Wike was described by his peers and friends as convivial, a warm friend and a person with an uncanny skill in employing humor to help students understand and enjoy lectures.
Wike, 77, a Lawrence resident, died Saturday at Brandon Woods Retirement Community, 1501 Inverness Drive, of complications from a stroke.
Wike was a professor emeritus of psychology who specialized in methodology and statistics. He gained tenure as an associate professor at the University of Kansas in 1957 and a full professorship in 1962. He retired in 1987.
Joan Bussell, a long-time friend of Wike and a Lawrence resident, said that at his eulogy he was remembered most for his sense of humor and ability to help others in times of night.
"He was very caring of other people," Bussel said. "There are so many things, it's hard to say what defines him."
Greg Simpson, chair of the psychology department, said Wike was the first person he met when he arrived at the University as a graduate student. He said that Wike had an innate ability to inject humor into his lectures and that his humor was irreverent but never condescending. Simpson that Wike's incomparable wit might be attributed to his uncanny resemblance to Bob Hope.
"Everybody comments about his humor and the way he was able to get a point across," Simpson said. "He could use
humor to deflate arrogance in a theory."
He said Wike was able to make abstract material understandable while doing justice to the subject matter.
David Holmes, professor of psychology, said Wike's influence went beyond academics and was instrumental in helping Holmes through a traumatic period in his life.
"Two things characterized him apart from academics," he said. "One was his wonderful, abiding humor, and secondly, he was a master of getting people through difficult times."
Wike was named Outstanding Educator in America, and was a consultant for the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Kansas City, Mo.
He was also a member of the American Psychology Association; Sigma Xi, a scientific society; and the
Psychonomic Society. Psychonomy is the science of the lays of mental activity.
Wike was born Feb. 19, 1922 in Ravenna, Ohio. In World War II, he served as a first lieutenant in the Army Corps of Engineers.
He earned his undergraduate and doctoral degrees from the University of California-Los Angeles.
In 1969, Wike married Sharron Knowles, who died in 1977. He is survived by a son, Robert, of Lawrence; and daughter Cynthia, of Chicago.
A memorial service was held Wednesday at Warren McElwain Mortuary Inc, 120 W 13th. Private family inurement services were held at Oak Hill Cemetery.

Editorial
Gun manufacturers are not toy makers but should undergo the same scrutiny
Lawsuit resulting from Columbine is justified
In the wake of the Columbine High School tragedy, the parents of one of the murdered students sued the parents of Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, the student gunmen responsible for 13 deaths. Now the parents pursuing the wrongful-death lawsuit are expanding their claim to include at least one gun manufacturing company whose semi-automatic weapon of terror claimed the life of their son.
Some readers may question the wording "weapon of terror," as the Constitution of the United States says that we all have the right to hear arms. In fact, the National Rifle Association will tell you that not only do we have the right to bear arms but also the restrictions our society has placed on a citizen's Second Amendment rights already are too strict — or even unconstitutional.
The Constitution, however, does not give the right to protect gun manufacturers from having tighter restrictions placed on the merchandise they produce. While these arguments have been hotly debated around the nation and recently in Congress, it is obvious that the Constitution will not protect Intratec, the company that makes the recreational semi-automatic pistol that was used at Columbine.
Years ago, toy manufacturers came under similar production scrutiny. We all are familiar with the fact that babies enjoy putting items in their mouths or using toys in ways that they weren't intended. However, before child safety regulations, countless children were injured or killed every year because of toys. Reform in the toy industry for child safety regulations did not occur until it hit corporations where it hurt them most - their wallets. Parents brought lawsuits that forced companies

to self-regulate, research and even promote safer toys.
Gun manufactures must be reformed in the same manner as the toy companies.
searching for the popular children's toy Thomas the Train Set on the Internet, the subtext says "not recommended for children under the age of 3." Obviously this is because of the many small pieces of the train set that could be swallowed.
Despite the fact that guns and children's toys are two vastly different things, there are frightening differences in safety regulations between the two. In
In contrast, one of the more popular guns on the Internet, which happens to be similar to the TEC-DC9 used in the Columbine shooting, has no safety warnings on its Web site and even advertises that the gun can pierce bulletproof vests.
The advertisement goes on to
promote that the gun's metal alloy "doesn't leave fingerprints." Clearly this is not a recreational or hunting gun; it is a tool to kill people.
What is the solution? The answer is definitely not a warning label or a safety lock on the trigger of the gun. The change has to take place at the drawing board for these weapon companies. Federal or state regulations legally can restrict companies that wish to make weapons that are too powerful and extravagant to shoot the already outmatched deer and police officer with a bulletproof vest.
While gun enthusiasts may dislike the change and even argue that regulations won't stop the killing, it will make a positive social change toward the safe handling of guns. In the long run, maybe it will heal the wounds left by the recent string of violence across the nation.

Perspective
Communism in China must change for people
The Chinese Revolution celebrated its 50th anniversary on Oct.1. Since then, much has been said about the People's Republic of China, and the images of Mao Zedong's face — a symbol of communism in China — and the Tiananmen Square massacre 10 years ago have been brought back into the U.S. consciousness.
China faces many difficult challenges today. The country does not have the strong leadership it once did. It has serious overpopulation problems. And it faces continuing political opposition to the status quo.
The world has changed very much since that autumn morning when Mao declared that the
Chinese people had stood up and so has China. The Communist Party, however, has the same principles of 50 years ago.
Mohammed Al Shafi
The Communist Party once had the strong leadership of communist greats Mao Zedong, Marshal Zhu De, Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping. Not anymore.
Furtado columnist
opinier@kansan.com
Jiang Zemin, the Chinese president, does not have the leadership ability it takes to rule a country of China's magnitude, and this is a serious threat to the nation.
the entire communist regime.
The Chinese Communist Party doctrine preached population growth as a way of gaining power in the years following the revolution. It was a way of having young people for labor, a way of having a prosperous country but also a way of being able to teach Communist values to children from birth. They would have, therefore, a mass of young Chinese to dominate.
But this strategy has backfired. A couple of decades after enacting the policy, China admitted it needed to stop the population growth. Birth control came, which was curious because the Chinese Communist Party created the problem of overpopulation. Now they have advocated that it can only be solved by its own methods.
It is difficult to control the number of children one will have if you live in a democracy.
So, basically, if China changes into a democracy, it will starve to death because of the lack of natural resources to feed the population. I presume the Chinese people prefer to limit their family size than have children who will die in a country that will have no ability to feed them.
Then there is the opposition to government domination, and the Chinese students saw that 10 years ago. They protested at Tiananmen Square and died to show a message to the world. They wanted a new regime but made little progress as the world did not help them.
The challenges China faces today force us to question ourselves: Is the People's Republic of China about people?
It is difficult to predict if China will remain communist in the future, but this will depend very much on how President Zemin will manage China's economy in the next few years. China needs a strong economy, one that will be able to provide basic needs to the Chinese and also aid development in this overpopulated country. Zemin needs to show leadership for this to happen.
China also needs to handle Hong Kong and Taiwan, and these are huge and complex issues.
If the Communist Party does this, if it's able to combat the opposition it has been facing in the last decades, and if they can show their people that communism is the desirable regime, then there is a chance for the People's Republic.
If the Communist Party is to maintain power, it must focus on the people. The party needs to go back to its roots, to the beginning, working for the people and not ruling over them. Power is worthless unless you can change people's lives. Power is simply a manner of helping people. They have not done this in many years.
Communist leaders can't think of it differently. If they do think differently, they will fall. Then the Chinese will rise and choose another system. As Karl Marx once said, "Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please. They make it in circumstances handed down to them from the past."

Broadon your mind: Today's quote
"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." — Mark Twain
Society needs to look deeper for real answers to violence
When the people in our society face a problem, we want to fix it. And we want to fix it now. After all, this is the United States of America, and we are the world's only remaining superpower. We can fix anything fast.
Unfortunately, in recent times, we are too often falling prey to the temptation of looking for the easy answers to the major problems confronting us. In the quest to heal what ails us, we fail to probe beneath the surface to find out what the root causes of the problems are. Sometimes, and sadly, this comes at the cost of individual responsibility.
Or can we?
Think of the diabolical dictators of the world who slaughter millions of people to grab and maintain power. Think of brutal tribal fighting in
And this is just one of the more memorable manifestations of violence in our society. There are plenty of other examples to be found, from husbands killing wives to teenage mothers leaving their babies for dead in garbage bins.
We need to remember something about human nature. Call it evil or whatever you prefer, but some people have a real dark side, and it's been illustrated throughout history.
For example, when students get gunned down in a school, we want to react and do things that make us feel better. School shootings are tragic and devastating. They drain a little of our national spirit and optimism each time they happen.
So do we really think that suing gun manufacturers or taking away constitutional gun ownership rights will solve the underlying rage that criminals have? Will turning our schools into high-security, prison-like fortresses take away the urge to kill? Can we gloss over the real causes of violence?

Killers can crash cars into a building. They can use bombs, knives or deadly gases. For that matter, they can use a baseball bat. Objects of violence need human force and intent
Violence takes many forms, but it is not in short supply.
Let's not just put ice on a wound when it actually deserves major surgery. Let's instead focus our attention on the sources of the violence.
This is an opportunity for America to show its greatness once again and for human intellect and goodness to triumph. It would be nothing new for us. We have pulled together before for
great causes, both internal and external.
Not really. Because whatever is
We have built an infrastructure in our own country that is the envy of the world. We fought against genocide and aggression against democracy in World War II. Our people have used their entrepreneurial spirit to make the economy thrive. We fought a civil war to end slavery.
Let's use our national resolve again. It certainly won't be easy and the job never completely finished. In fact, we may have to rethink some of the fundamental structures underlying our society and wait for years to see the results.
behind them to kill.
If we take the more difficult, but productive, path of attacking our problems at the source, we can find answers that will take us to the stars.
But it's an exercise worth the effort and a price worth paying. Let's get the dialogue going. We should examine our priorities and set them straight.
The motto of the state of Kansas can be our inspiration. The Latin phrase *Ad astra per aspera* translates "To the stars through difficulties."
Then, we may just find ourselves in a nation where kids don't build bombs in their garage or have their older friends get them guns. We may build a social climate in which family members don't turn violently on one another. We may enter an era in which random violence is again a rarity in America.

Bettie is a Shawnee graduate student in journalism.
I would like to say how wrong this is. Speaking as a Christian, I can say that we are not fanatics. We are people who have been forgiven and wish to bring the love of Jesus Christ to this campus. Although some may think otherwise, it is not Christianity's goal to ram religion and Scripture down other people's throats. We simply wish to express our faith in a loving way that will cause others to desire to draw near to our Lord.
People miss the point entirely when they debate what the University of Kansas' logo should be. It doesn't matter what the logo is; Christians wear our symbols as symbols, to remind us of our faith and as an outward display of that faith, so that others will know what we believe in.
Sadly, this doesn't seem to be the case, and I am not surprised. I can only hope that others who saw the cartoon will realize that it was completely off and not an accurate depiction of what a Christian really believes.
I am writing to express my displeasure at the political cartoon printed on Oct. 12. In it, you depicted two Christian men who had the "motive" of covering Strong Hall with religious symbols. It reduced the Christian religion to a cult.
I believe in Jesus as God's only Son,
that He was sent to die for us, and that
the Bible is truth and the word of the
Living God.

Journalists should be for more freedom
I'm always distressed when journalism students applaud government attempts to suppress freedom of expression, as Katrina Hull did in her recent column in The University Daily Kansan. As Hull tells it, New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani did the right thing in trying to cut off public funds for the Brooklyn Museum of Art because it hosted an exhibit featuring a collage of the Virgin Mary that included elephant dung.
While Hull keeps her eye on the dung and the scatological details of art that she and Giuliani do not approve of, she pays scant attention to the real issue at stake: the freedom of artists and galleries to express their views, and the right of the public to see their work, without first seeking the approval of government.
Just as journalists hold up the mirror to society to show us sometimes gory truths — truths that include pornography, sexuality and a lot of blood, much of it shed in the name of religion — artists also focus on controversial and troubling themes.
When government steps in to decide what messages are appropriate, in art or in journalism, we lose far more than one art exhibit that disgusts some people; we lose the best vehicle for all of us to communicate with each other and seek truth — freedom of expression.
Contrary to Hull's statement that "little precedent exists for New York courts to decide whether Giuliani overstepped his mayoral bounds," case law abounds declaring that our First Amendment forbids government officials from censoring art in publically funded museums.
Governments in countries like China and Iraq may have the legal authority to decide what truths are appropriate for artists (or newspapers). In this country, artists (and journalists like Hull) are free to compose their own messages without government interference.
Like any citizen, Giuliani is free to speak out against those messages and even to boycott an exhibit. But the mayor does not have the right to judge which art is appropriate for the rest of us to see. Bad art is a small price to pay for something as important as freedom of expression..

"I had every confidence that it would work out, but the fact that it's starting is just incredible," said Heimovics, Fairway senior. "It's really the most rewarding thing to be a part of."
Since then, the greek community raised about $40,000 through donations and events, including a garage sale, bowl-aathon and a concert.
"There's definitely some students who've been the leaders," Godderz said. "There haven't been any chapters that haven't donated time and money."
Linda Klinker, Habitat for Humanity program director, said the students involved had been particularly helpful by raising the money for the project. She said Habitat for Humanity usually took the responsibility for fund raising.

"I think it's a really great idea," he said. "I guess I'm the handman of the the house, so I said I'd do it. It should be fun. Hopefully, we'll all work well together and get it done."
Heimovics said it was easy to get wrapped up in the fund raising and planning of the event and to overlook what it was actually for.
"There's actually a house going up," she said. "In two weeks, it will be a house, and somebody will actually be living in it. That's why we're doing it."

Presswood, who works at Sallie Mae, 2000 Bluffs Drive, will be required by Habitat for Humanity to make house payments and put in hours working on her own house and other houses.
Presswood said the greek house directors would help her decorate the interior of the house when it was completed.
"It will be wonderful paying rent on something that's mine," she said. "It's an investment. I'm looking forward to the challenge."

Presswood said she and her daughters were constantly smiling and talking about their plans. They also make visits out to the site where their home will be.
"It will be wonderful paying rent on something that's mine."
Jennifer, a ninth-grader, said she planned to hang up lots of basketball posters and Kiera said she would have hooks on her wall for her coat and her backpack. The girls have not been allowed to hang such things on their thin apartment walls.

Equity, discrimination issues face Regents
Student body president pushes non-bias policy
By Nathan Willis and Clay McCuistion
writer@kansan.com
Kansas sot writer
The Regents met at 9 a.m. at Adams
Updates on the progress of equity studies under way at Regents institutions and a plea by student body president Korb Maxwell to ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation highlighted an otherwise routine meeting of the Board of
Regents vesterdav.
On behalf of the Students' Advisory Committee, the six student body presidents of the state uni-
versties, Maxwell implored the Regents to provide a uniform nondiscrimination policy by the end of this academic year.
Maxwell said that the Regents adopted an affirmative action and equal opportunity policy in 1989.
"Glaringly absent from that, though, was sexual orientation." Maxwell said.
Five of the six Regents universities, including the University of Kansas, have sexual orientation nondiscrimination clauses. But Emporia State University President Kay Schallenkamp removed sexual orientation from its policy in July 1988 at the advice of a Kansas Board of Regents attorney.
"It's just not right that the name of an institution or where it at determines the level of protection for students." Maxwell said
Later, Kansas State University Provost Jim Coffman reported on the status of equity studies at the six Regents universities.
Coffman said that each university was studying equity in pay. The studies look at
equity between genders and among races, but he emphasized that they wouldn't cover any other minority groups. They also would not include classified employees, he said.
The Regents went into executive session to discuss personnel matters at 11:40 a.m.
Once KU's study comes out, copies will be given to University Governance and the Board of Regents, he said. Meanwhile, deans will be able to make adjustments based on the data.
Mary Burg, executive assistant to the chancellor, and KU liaison to the Regents, said that few issues in yesterday's meeting pertained to the University.

110 expected for Black Alumni Reunion Weekend
By Erinn R. Barcomb
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas Black Alumni Reunion Weekend will bring African-American alumni and students together.
Events will allow students to share what they are doing on campus with alumni, who in turn will be able to share career information with students.
Alberta Wright, assistant director at the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said she expected about 110 alumni to attend.
"The phone is just ringing, ringing and ringing," she said. "There are people who are going to just come and show up."
The reunion originated as a career fair of sorts. In the 1980s, African-American alumni from the professional world would come to the University and network with students interested in those fields. There has not been a reunion since the '80s.
Although it has expanded this year to include social events, alumni still will be encouraged to work with students.
Tables from 16 African-American organizations will be available for alumni to see, including one from the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority.
"It's very special to us because the year 2000 is our 85th anniversary," said Tisha McCoy, the sorority's president. The sorority is the oldest
African-American greek organization on campus.
McCoy hoped that the table would help students keen in touch with alumni.
"We're going to use it as a recruiting tool to get the names and addresses of our old members," McCoy said.
Wright said she hoped that the African-American alumni chapter of the Adams Alumni Center would start up again. She said she thought that African-American alumni did not have a good way to keep in touch.
Those returning range from 1945 graduates to those who walked down the Hill last year. They will come from as far away as California and Minnesota.
number of registered alumni, but she thought they would register at the last minute.
Wright said Lawrence had the least
A step competition among fraternity and sorority members and a party will take place at 9:30 p.m. tomorrow at the Kansas Union Ballroom. The competition involves stepping in rhythm and chanting the organizations' cheers.
"Since this is a reorganizing event, it might be a little more business," Wright said. "But they're going to come here and have fun. It's long overdue."
Wright thought alumni might get involved and try to remember the steps they knew as students at KU.
Shot may save students from aches, pains of influenza

The body aches, fevers, chills and sore throats that are so familiar to college students during influenza season are not far away. Watkins Memorial Health Center officials said.
But the Watkins staff is ready to vaccinate students who wish to avoid the aches and pains on the season.
for immunization .
Although there have not yet been reports of an influenza outbreak in the community, now is the time to get immunized, Rock said. The vaccines take about 10 days to develop it. Once the flu begins to attack, it's too late
"There is a fu shot that, if you want to just grin and bear a simple poke, you can reduce the risk of getting influenza," said Randall Rock, Watkins chief of staff.
Cristian Paul, Wichita junior, said she immunized herself from the flu.
"I used to get it at least twice a year; now it's about once a year," she said. "Plus I smoke, so I think it's important to get it."
Smokers fall into the category of students who should not avoid the shot, Rock said. Those with asthma and lung and heart problems also should get their shot.
However, the immunization is important for all college students, because of their living and social conditions. Rock said.
Trisha Harma, Parker, Colo., junior, said: "College students are so unhealthy because of the living conditions they have, especially because of the group living situations and the amount of sleep they get and the kinds of foods they eat."
The bar scene is also the perfect place for the transfer of body fluids by sharing drinks and

cigarettes, Rock said. People also tend to spit saliva into each other's faces when shouting over loud music.
The flu shot, which costs $5 at Watkins, is
about 85 percent effective.
Students who don't get the shot still can get influenza medication after the symptoms start. Although medications have been available for years, new products are on the market this season. These medications cost about $40 and will decrease the intensity and the duration of the flu.
The flu, if it develops into bronchitis, pneumonia or stress on the heart, also can kill. More people die each year of influenza than they do of AIDS, Rock said.
"You're still going to get sick, but you won't get as sick, and you won't be sick as long," Rock said. "It's going to help a little bit, but I don't think these are going to be magic bullets."
Watkins offers flu shots every day through an "express line." It also will be administering shots at sites around campus beginning Tuesday.

Juilliard trio to conduct, play at Lied
By Warisa Chulindra
Special to the Kansan
A New York-based chamber music trio will make its first appearance in Kansas this weekend.
The Lied Center Swarthout Chamber Music Series will kick off its 1999-2000 season at 3:30 p.m. Sunday at the Lied Center with the chamber music trio of pianist Nevah Perlman, violinist Kurt Nikkanen and cellist Zuill Bailey. The trio will perform Beethoven's Trio No. 5 and Schubert's Trio No. 1.
The New York-based trio goes on tour for six weeks each season. This is the second week the trio has been on tour this season. During the rest of the year, Perlman, Nikkanen and Bailey perform as soloists or with other orchestras.
Last week, they performed at the Lied Center in Lincoln, Neb., and played with the Salina Symphony Tuesday night.
Bailey said the reaction in Kansas differed from that of New York.
"Kansas seems to be very musically conscious," he said. "It was like the audience came out of the woodwork at the concerts."
Perlman, the daughter of violinist Itzhak Perlman, Nikkanen and Bailey formed their trio two years ago. Perlman and Nikkanen met at the Aspen Music Festival when they were students. Perlman attended Juilliard School and has an honors degree from Brown University, where she studied art history. Nikkanen also graduated from Juilliard School. The two live in the same apartment building.
Perlman heard Bailey perform at a festival in Cape Cod and thought the three would make a good trio. Bailey also graduated from the Juilliard School where he won the Juilliard Cello Competition.
The trio will conduct a public presentation of KU composition students at 7 tonight at the Lied Center. The event is free.
Tickets for Sunday's performance are still available at the Lied Center Box Office, 864-ARTS; the Murphy Hall Box Office, 864-3982; the Student Union Activities Box Office, 864-3477; and the University of Kansas Medical Center Bookstore.
All seats are reserved. Tickets are $27 and $22 for the public, $13.50 for students, $11 for children under 18, and $26 and $21 for senior citizens.

Buchanan might seek third-party nomination
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON— Pat Buchanan's pitchfork brigade may be moving.
Officials close to the Republican presidential candidate, speaking on condition of anonymity, said yesterday that the conservative commentator was preparing to leave the GOP and seek the Reform Party's presidential nomination Oct. 25.
Two officials said plans were being made for Buchanan to make announcements in suburban Washington, New Hampshire and perhaps other key states.
They cautioned, however, that Buchanan still could reverse course and avoid the increasingly fractious third-party bid. But they said he intended to bolt the GOP.
In the clearest signal yet of his intentions.
YUCKER
Buchanan: May seek Reform Party bid on Oct. 25
Buchanan's campaign mailed hundreds of invitations to supporters Tuesday night inviting them to a major announcement Oct. 25 at a Falls Church, Va., hotel, the officials said. As many as 3,000 invitations also were being sent out for a New Hampshire stop, they said.
However, representative Joanne Hansen said no final decision had been made
Lagging in GOP polls, Buchanan has said he believes the party's nomination battle is rigged in favor of Texas Gov. George W. Bush, who he thinks is too moderate.
Buchanan, however, would not be assured the Reform Party nomination. A parade of celebrities and politicians are mentioned as potential candidates, including New York tycoon Donald Trump, Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, former Connecticut Gov. Lowell Weicker, actress Cybill Shepherd, actor Warren Beatty and party founder Ross Perot.
A new CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll shows limited support for the third-party alternatives. Buchanan had the backing of 9 percent of those surveyed in a three-way matchup with Bush and Vice President Al Gore, the Democratic front-runner. Trump had 10 percent in a similar three-way matchup.
Ventura, the party's highest ranking elected official, has ruled out a 2000 presidential campaign, though the speculation continues. He is urging Trump to seek the nomination, saying Buchanan is too conservative on social issues for the party.
Trump himself has called Buchanan's views prehistoric. Buchanan, who is drawing support from the Perot wing of the Reform Party, is a staunch, anti-abortion conservative who drew criticism for questioning whether Nazi Germany was a threat to America.
Man wanted for questioning in KC kidnapping case found
Police still searching for missing 9-year-old
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Kan.—Police said yesterday they found the man they want to question in the disappearance of a 10-year-old girl.
Keith B. Nelson, 24, was found early yesterday afternoon at the south side of the Kansas River, FBI Special Agent Larry McCormick said. He was taken to University of Kansas Medical Center with some type of leg injury, McCormick said.
However, there was no sign of the girl. Pamela Butler, McCormick would not comment on whether Nelson said anything to police. FBI agents were interviewing him at the Med Center yesterday afternoon.
Ron Burke, a railroad worker, helped officers hold Nelson down near the river.
"I saw him trying to swim across the river," he said.
Authorities had been searching for Nelson since Tuesday night. Witnesses said the fifth-grader was abducted while she was skating Tuesday night by
a man in a pickup that sped away. People who saw it happen reported a license number after they tried to chase the truck, but couldn't keep up.
Nancy Nelson, who said she was Nelson's mother, called both the Kansas City Star and KMBC-TV and said she did not believe her son abducted the girl.
Nelson was wanted in Butler, Mo., on suspicion of obstruction and assault on an officer and had served prison time for second-degree burglary, authorities said.
"He has never hurt nobody," she said. She said she'd seen her son at home late Tuesday night.
The truck was found Wednesday morning in Kansas City, Mo. McCormick said there was reason to believe Nelson was driving the truck.
Nelson's employer said Nelson had access to the company truck that police believe was used in the abduction.
The child's mother, Cherry West, said all she was asking the kidnapper to do was to call and tell the family where the kidnapper dropped her daughter off so they could pick her up.
"I'm just hoping and praying for the best," said the child's father, Paul Butler. "My main concern is that she's still alive."
Governor orders execution of former journalist, Black Panther
The Associated Press
Philadelphia police officer.
HARRISBURG. Pa.- Gov. Tom Ridge has signed another death warrant for Mumia Abu-Jamal, one that orders the execution of the former journalist and Black Panther in fewer than two months. Ridge's action on Wednesday came fewer than two weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Abu-Jamal's request for a new trial in the killing of $e$
The warrant called for Abu-Jamal to be executed by injection Dec. 2. It was the second time Ridge had signed a death warrant for Abu-Jamal, whose case has prompted worldwide protests from death-penalty opponents who have challenged the fairness of his trial. The previous warrant was staved.
Abu-Jamal, 45, was convicted of first-degree murder in the 1981
shooting of police officer Daniel Faulkner.
When they arrived at the scene, police found the dying officer, who was Caucasian, and a wounded Abu-Jamal lying near his own gun. Several witnesses identified him as the shooter, and two people testified that Abu-Jamal confessed at the hospital. Abu-Jamal has denied making any confession.
Abu-Jamal's legal team announced plans to file an appeal
Despite the new warrant, Abu-Jamal is not likely to be executed soon, and the process of federal appeals eventually could lead back to the Supreme Court.
Ridge for signing the execution warrant while they were contemplating another appeal.
today in federal court in Philadelphia. All of Abu-Jamal's previous appeals have been in state courts, with the final rejection by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court being appealed to the nation's highest court.
"Ridge is rushing to execute before all the evidence has been presented," said Abu-Jamal attorney Leonard Weissling.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson also issued a statement condemning the decision, "I am disappointed that Gov. Ridge would seek revenge through capital punishment," he said.
Abu-Jamal's lawyers criticized
Copies of video from Columbine to be confiscated
"It's an embarrassment for me and the agency to have that out there," Sheriff John P. Stone said Wednesday.
According to the department, the grainy, jerky footage shown on national television Tuesday came from an unauthorized copy of a CD-ROM. The unauthorized copy was used in a presentation at a conference sponsored by the National Sheriffs' Association in Fort McClellan Ala.
The Associated Press
undersheriff John A. Dunaway said it had not been determined who copied the CD-ROM.
The CBS Evening News and some of the network's affiliates Tuesday aired snippets of the tape that documented a few terrifying seconds of the April 20 rampage that left 15 people dead, including the two gunmen, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.
The footage was videotaped off a large projection screen at a training seminar for law enforcement and emergency workers by KRQE-TV, a CBS affiliate in Albuquerque, N.M. No bodies are seen on the tape.
The fire department made copies on CD-ROMs and passed them out to fire and police departments at a conference in Kansas City in August. The CD-ROM that was copied was being used by the Arapahoe County, Colo., sheriff's office in a presentation at an Alabama conference.
DENVER — The Jefferson County sheriff's department is calling for the return of all copies of a surveillance videotape from the Columbine High School shootings.

The footage, originally used by Jefferson County sheriff's deputies in their investigation of the shooting, had been given to the Littleton Fire Department. The sheriff's office also provided the footage to police and emergency agencies to help with training.

Hurricane Irene threatens Cuba, Florida
Miami, Havana bracing for heavy rain, gusty winds
The Associated Press
Hurricane Irene moved across the Caribbean yesterday, sweeping bands of heavy rain across Cuba and into Florida as it drifted with top sustained winds of nearly 75 mph.
Hurricane warnings were posted for much of Cuba, and a hurricane watch was issued for parts of the Florida Keys. At 8 a.m. EDT, Irene was centered about 125 miles southwest of the Cuban capital of Havana. It was barely moving
but was expected to resume a slow northward track later in the day.
In Cuba, the hurricane warning covered the Pinar del Río, Havana, Matanzas and the Isle of Youth. It was expected to bring a foot of rain to many areas.
In Florida, a hurricane watch was issued for the Lower and Middle Keys, including the Dry Tortugas islands, extending up to Craig Key. Heavy rain already was falling in the Miami area, causing a rash of traffic accidents during this morning's commute.
Irene could make landfall within 72 hours just north of Tampa, said John Guiney, hurricane forecaster at the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
"But we don't want people focusing on that track because this storm will have

effects felt in a wide area," he said. "We still need all the folks in Florida to still
be vigilant here, because this system will affect a great portion of the peninsula.
Winds across south Florida were expected to rise, and Florida's southern coastal areas could experience winds of more than 39 mph, with higher gusts, which were expected to increase through the night.
A full evacuation of the Keys is not anticipated, said Billy Wagner, Monroe County Emergency Management director, but officials Wednesday began asking visitors in the lower Keys to leave just in case.
Several public storm shelters were to open in the Keys for people with special needs, those living in mobile homes and others at special risk.
A coastal flood watch was in effect for Broward and Miami-Dade counties.
No end in sight for JonBenet case as grand jury receives dismissal
The Associated Press
Boulder, Colo.— It is an ending few seem happy with.
The JonBenet Ramsey grand jury was dismissed after 13 months of work Wednesday, and prosecutors said there wasn't enough evidence to charge anyone in the 6-year-old's strangulation nearly three years ago.
The girl's family responded by asking that the investigation go on until the killer is caught. Gov. Bill Owens said he might appoint a special prosecutor.
But the puzzling case that drew worldwide attention as much for its fingerpointing and charges of bungling as for JonBenet's death may be finished.
"I don't know where to go from here," said Mimi Wesson, a law professor at the University of Colorado. "Barring some very important and convincing new evidence, it is unlikely anyone will be charged with this crime."
Boulder District Attorney Alex Hunter, who has said that John and Patsy Ramsey were under suspicion in their daughter's death, announced Wednesday that prosecutors did not have sufficient evidence to warrant the filing of charges against anyone who had been investigated with the crime.
He reminded the grand jurors that state law forbids them from discussing their work. Owens, meanwhile, promised to review the case and decide whether to appoint a special prosecutor.
"While I am not presently in a position to comment on the work of this grand jury, I do know one fact — a little girl was brutally murdered in Boulder, Colorado, and the killer or killers remain free today," he says.
Adams County District Attorney Bob Grant, one of four area prosecutors who advised Hunter, told the NBC Today show yesterday that the governor could appoint the state attorney general's office to the case. But, he said, experienced prosecutors have reviewed all of the evidence and have concluded that there is insufficient evidence for a conviction.
The death in this university town northwest of Denver led to a case of extraordinary interest. It created friction between police and prosecutors, led to accusations that the district attorney's office was too timid and invited scrutiny of the child beauty pageant circuit.
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—President Clinton demanded yesterday that congressional Republicans work with him to shape a federal budget both can accept.
"We can work for a season of promise, not a winter of politics." Clinton said during a White House news conference.
He complained that with only a week to go before the expiration of the stopgap spending resolution that is financing much of the government, Congress was not close to finishing its work.
Clinton said he wanted a responsible budget that would save Social Security, strengthen Medicare, pay down the national debt and provide adequate funds for education, crime control, the environment and his other priorities.
He said he would proceed according to the terms of the treaty despite the Senate action. "I have no intention of
Clinton began with a statement denouncing Senate Republicans for voting down the nuclear test ban treaty on Wednesday, accusing them of partisan politics and a
new isolationism.
doing anything other than sticking with the obligations imposed by the treaty on the United States," he said.
The questioning turned repeatedly to the nuclear test ban rejection and its impact abroad.
Clinton: Urges Republicans to work with him
"The Chinese should have
should every assurance that as long as this administration is here, we support the ban on nuclear tests," Clinton said. "Now, if we ever get a president that's against the test ban treaty, which we may get — I mean there are plenty of people out there who say they are against it — then I think you might as well get ready for it."
General says he is ruler of Pakistan; parliament to attempt to meet today
The Associated Press
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—The head of Pakistan's military declared himself the country's leader earlier today, in defiance of calls for the return of democratic rule after the army toppled the civilian government.
Fighter planes could be heard scrambling overhead within minutes after the state-run news agency, announced that Gen. Pervaiz Musharraf had called a state of emergency and dissolved parliament.
Since his forces ousted the elected prime minister Tuesday night and reportedly jailed his top supporters, Musharraf has been holed up meeting with leading politicians, including President Rafq Tarar.
Irfan Siddiqi, a spokesman for the president, said yesterday that the general wanted to restore civilian rule.
The troops cleared out staffers and the few legislators who had shown up, then locked the gates. One worker said the troops told them to leave without explanation.
A day that the general wanted to restore civilian rule. However, soldiers then moved into parliament, which had reopened only hours before and was scheduled to meet today for the first time since the military takeover.
The military ruled Pakistan for 25 years of its 52 year existence, but it handed over power to a democratically elected government in 1985.
World governments — worried at the prospect of military rule in a nuclear-armed nation — have been urging Musharraf to reinstitute democracy, even if he does not bring back ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
In Washington, senior officials said President Clinton was sending his ambassador in Islamabad to meet Musharraf, urge a quick return to civilian rule and hear his intentions.
In Pakistan, legislators from Sharif's party planned to try to enter parliament today to hold the scheduled session in defiance of the army closure, said acting House Speaker Chaudhry Jaffer Iqbal.
Streets in Pakistan's main cities were quiet, with few soldiers seen. Consumers went about normal shopping without hoarding — another sign that Pakistanis largely accepted the coup.
Sharif, who was elected two years ago by a wide majority, quickly antagonized the public in repeated confrontations with other institutions of government.
Since taking office, he forced the resignations of the nation's president, the head of its supreme court and several top military commanders.
The coup was prompted when Sharif dismissed Musharraf — with whom he had been in constant conflict — while the general was on a visit to Sri Lanka and ordered that the plane bringing him home not be allowed to land in Pakistan.
Army troops swung into action, seizing the control tower, then moving swiftly to surround Sharif's residence and key public buildings.

Beer bible doesn't quench thirst for drinking diversions
Maybe we just werent drunk enough
At first glance, The Complete Book of Beer Drinking Games, seemed an ideal college text. The book combines beer with juvenile antics — what could be more fun? The book is even funny to the sober. The definitions of different types of regurgitation, the picture of Ronald Reagan making moose ears and a pained account of an accidental trip to a frou-frou bar, all elicit a chuckle. But the games themselves leave something to be desired
In the beginning of the book, the authors wisely include a warning about excessive alcohol consumption. "If you drink, don't be an idiot," the publisher's note states. This is a good point, but I'm not so sure authors
Andy Griscom, Ben Rond and Scott Johnston followed this advice when writing the book
Perhaps the plethora of word pilots

Wednesday night my ten low beer game reviewers and I voluntarily plowed through the beer book in search of the perfect game. We immediately ruled out those games that took longer than 5 minutes to
determine so other people have trouble understanding them, drunks may as well not bother.
Book facts
The games are rated by the authors according to "Boot factor," which describes the poke potential. We can write it out.

Categories
Boot factor: 2
2 Beers
Categories was my first drinking game. To hear employees from the Department of Student Life lately, students don't play drinking games.
In Categories, the first player names a category, Diff'rent Strokes' characters, for example. Players go around the circle naming characters until one falters, at which point he or she has to drink. Then the game restarts with a new category.
Categories was fun, though the drinking seemed like an afterthought. And if you take out the beer, it becomes a good road-trip game.

Fuzzy Duck
Boot factor: 2
1 beer
The point: Go around in a circle saying "fuzzy duck," until some trickster shakes things up by saying "duzzy," thus switching the order and the phrase "ducky fuzz." This game was really fun when I was a 17-year-old camp counselor drinking Rolling Rock on my nights off in the Pacones. Now that I am older, the possibility of someone slipping and saying something naughty just doesn't excite.

ODB carries Wu Tang sound into latest album
He's old; he's dirty
he's the Wu Tang clown. Contributors:
by Bryan Anderson Kansan music critic
"this ain't the young DB." The ch or u s begins with the usual rap bravado letting them know that, "You need to recognize he is a p-i-m n."
Comedian Chris Rock introduces the album and makes sure listeners know.
One of the most important questions for rap music fans today is who their favorite member of the Wu Tang Clan. Even for novices to the rap game, the answer is probably going to be OL' Dirty Bastard, otherwise known as ODB.
The ODB is ever the clown prince of the often judicious Wu Tang Clan. Apparently, ODB took some time off from his much-publicized legal woes and decided to make some solo album mischief on his latest solo release, $N^{***a}$ Please. This time around, OBD brings some new energy to the Wu Tang sound but continues the Wu Tang Clan tradition of bringing the ruckus.
Album facts
Title: N***a Please
Artist: Ol' Dirty Bastard
Grade: B+
The ODB proves he is the biggest joker in the Wu Tang Clan, giving shout-outs to everyone and everything on "I Can't Wait," including Dr. Dre, submarines and school teachers.
Label: Electra
In another tune, "Cold Blooded," ODB gets help from Rick James on one of James' original songs.
The mastermind behind the Wu Tang Clan, the RZA, produced the track "Getting High" and brought along the distinctive Wu Tang Clan sound with raw beats and shifting piano sounds.
"Good Morning Heartache" is a soulful R&B song, which has nothing to do with rap music. It is the ODB's album, and he can do whatever he wants to.
On "All In Together Now," the ODB claims, "I'm white and I'm black." With urban beats, snippets of funk guitars and a hip-hop bass line, the ODB says that white people, black people, red people, blue people and even aliens are all "getting hot in here." Is this the side of the ODB visualizing the dream of peace among the races? With all the styles, flavors and names that the OBD brings, I would not put it past him.
Fight Club packs obnoxious bravado with visual punch
By Stephanie Sapienza Kansan movie critic
In a recent essay, George Carlin wrote: "The paradox of our time is that we spend more, have less, buy more, enjoy less. We have multiplied our possessions but reduced our values." He must have seen a preview of Fight Club.

He is also addicted to support groups. You name it — testicular cancer, leukemia, Alcoholics Anonymous — he finds that attending all of these is the only way to stay normal.
Then, he meets two people, Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter) and Tyler Durgen (Brad Pitt). Marla is a support-group addict too, and they have to split up their meetings so as to not ruin the other's homeostasis. Soon after meeting Tyler on a business trip, Norton's apartment is blown to bits, and he is living in Tyler's dilapidated old house. He and Tyler start up the Fight Club, which soon spirals out of control, and that is all can be disclosed without completely ruining the movie.
The film is visually brilliant and Fincher doesn't bore the audience with static shots.
Fight Club is based on a novel by Chuck Palahniuk. This much is obvious, because screenplays don't usually contain dialogue as interesting and poetic as this dialogue. Norton is incredible (when isn't he?), as is Bonham Carter (when isn't she?). Brad Pitt often is heralded by members of the female audience as a great actor—a status often deemed according to pectoral size. He wasn't that impressive. His role in Fight Club was good, but it was pretty much a rehash of his role in 12 Monkeys.
This whopper of a film opens today. The audience that most likely will be Fight Club's biggest demographic may not comprehend fully what this movie is really addressing. That is, the movie is not just about a bunch of tough guys fighting because they're tough. It's about many more complex issues such as consumerism, psychosis and the drudges of mass economy. There is a lot of grotesque fighting in this movie; however, those who get headaches watching independent and art films just want to bring their Dave Matthews CDs and headphones to entertain themselves between the fighting scenes.

Texas A&M.
The Aggies play ferocious defense, control the ball and play at Kyle Field, a place where they have lost just four times in the 1990s.
But that's life in the Big 12 Conference.
It's the stretch of schedule that teams dread, even if they are playing well — which the Jayhawks are not, having won only two of their first six games.
"There's so many good teams in the Big 12, how do you spread them out?" said linebacker Andrew LeClair.
"Right now, every game is a challenge for us," said Coach Terry Allen.
That's because the Jayhawks are banged up offensively, but most of the injured players will return for tomorrow's game.
Running backs David Winbush and Henri Childs, wide receiver Eric Patterson and tight end Jason Gulley will play, but wide receivers Byron Gasaway and Termaine Fulton are out for the rest of the year.
The injuries limited what Kansas could on offense against K-State. The 'Hawks
will have more options with more depth among the skill positions, but they will miss the speed that Gasaway and Fulton provide.
"It changes the complexion of your football team." Allen said.
"Speed on the outside is important to what we like to do."
The Jayhawks want to be able to throw the ball and open up the offense but haven't been able to recently. Quarterback Dylen Smith has been erratic and couldn't establish a rhythm with any receivers against the Wildcats. Part of his problems were with the K-State defense, part of them were because of injuries

Scoring will not be a problem for the Kansas men's basketball team this year. Figuring out how to get the ball to all its scorers, however, will be the challenge.
"The reason you change is to suit your personnel." Williams said.
Kansas coach Roy Williams said yesterday at the annual media day that one of the team's weaknesses this season would be his ability to figure out something different offensively, even though the 'Hawks have been successful offensively in the past.
KTJ
That personnel includes Texas transfer Luke Axtell, sophomore point guard Jeff
men's BASKETBALL
Bosche and junior center Eric Chenowith.
Axtell, a 6-foot-10 guard/forward, came to Kansas a year ago after playing a season with the Texas Longhorns. A falling-out with the University of Texas and then coach Tom Penders created controversy, and Axtell elected to transfer to Kansas.
Last season, Axtell was forced to sit out because of NCAA rules. As he enters this season ready to play, his role has been a hot topic.
I'm not trying to invent the wheel over again," Williams said of Axell's role. "We're going to put him in a position to score, and
we're going to expect him to score."
Therein lies the basis for Williams' desire to experiment with new offensive sets.
Williams said that Kansas was going to do a lot of things differently than in the past because of scorers like Axtell. He also said that with the number of Jayhawk post players who can score, it seemed logical to tinker with ways that could create an advantage against teams weaker in the post positions.
But while Williams and the team are excited about experimenting with their offense, he said that nothing was set in stone. The Jayhawks will run the different offenses for the first three weeks of practice, and if one fits, they will adapt. However, if one does not, they will be able to return to the old-style Kansas motion offense.
Although no specifics were divulged, Williams did say that the focus of offense will center around being more up-tempo and aggressive.
Despite the uncertain nature of the offense, Boschee said that he is confident that the team will be ready to run whatever style Williams decides upon.
"This team is full of threats, and we're capable of running anything he can throw at us." Bosche said.
The first official practice for the 'Hawks will be tonight at the annual Late Night with Roy Williams. The skits and entertainment will begin about 10:15 p.m. after the Kansas volleyball team takes on Texas A&M at 7 p.m., and an abbreviated intrasquid scrimmage will begin shortly after midnight.

Basketball practice starts at the stroke of midnight

When the clock strikes midnight, the 1999-2000 Kansas men's basketball season officially will begin.
The Kansas men will hold an intrasquad scrimmage at midnight, following skits and performances by the men's and women's teams about 10:15 tonight during the annual Late Night with Roy Williams.
Late Night originated in 1983 after the arrival of then-coach Larry Brown. Since then, its popularity has grown tremendously and has continued growing with
Part of the reason for the large crowds can be attributed to the University and community's anticipation of seeing their favorite players back on the court and getting a first look at the newcomers.
current Kansas coach Roy Williams. The event has drawn crowds of more than 15,000 since the early '90s, and Allen Fieldhouse has been filled to capacity several times for it.
"Last year, I went to watch Lester Earl, since I am from the same town as him and we transferred here the same year," said Krista Walker, Baton Rouge, La., senior.
"I remember Nick Bradford doing MC Hammer last year — it was impressive. I'd definitely like to see it again," said Kelly Woywod, Kansas City, Mo., senior. "Being there really makes you proud to be a Jayhawk."
However, while some fans come to see the players play, others come to see the players entertain — as in act, dance or sing.
Bradford, a senior forward who has performed twice the skit imitating MC Hammer at Late Night, said he was ready.
"One thing that makes Late Night so exciting is that when you come to school, you things that the crowd doesn't see. But when
you get to Late Night and see 16,000 people in Allen Fieldhouse, it gets you ready."
"If they want me to do the MC Hammer thing again, I will, but I want to do something different, being my last year," he said.
For others on Kansas' team, such as sophomore Marlon London, the experience has been an eye- opener.
"Last year, it kind of shocked me," London said. "I had never been in a crowd that big, with the fans yelling and stuff, but it was fun."
This year London vows that he too will be ready and said that he might have a shock for the fans himself.
"I'm going to bring out a few tricks," he said. "People don't really think I can jump."
Today's festivities begin at 4:15 p.m. at Hogwalt Ballpark, where the Kansas baseball team will play an intrasquad scrimmage. At 7 p.m. the Kansas volleyball team takes on No. 16 Texas A&M in the fieldhouse. After the game, both the men's and women's basketball teams will begin their skits.
At midnight, the men's team will emerge from the locker room and play an abbreviated intrasquid scrimmage. NCAA rules allow for Division I team practices to begin tomorrow.

Hoops thrill too tempting for 'faithful' football fans
The 1999 Kansas football season ends at 7 tonight.
No, the Texas A&M Aggies haven't canceled tomorrow's game. And no, Terry Allen isn't forfeiting the rest of the season. Purposefully, anyway.
But in the hearts and especially the minds of University of Kansas students, Late Night with Roy Williams begins the shunning of football and the anticipation of the hardwood season.
I hate it. Not basketball of course — no one can argue against the excitement of a game at Allen fieldhouse — but the passing of
the little football spirit we have around this leaf-covered campus. It's as if the Athletics Department gave us a fancy renovated stadium and video board for Christmas, but we're tired of playing with them by January. Depressing.

I'll try not to wonder if Luke Axell will be an impact player in his first year of action at Kansas.
Depressing. This year, though, I will not fall into the trap. I won't start thinking about basketball early.
I'll try not to think that Marian Washington's team may be headed to the Final Four or that senior Lynn Pride might become the first Kansas woman to dunk in a game. Don't roll your eyes. I've seen her do it in practice.
I won't envision forward Lester Earl and guard Suzi Raymant with healthy knees, re-enacting seasons-of-old with thunderous blocks and long-range jumpers. The blocks being Earl's and the jumper's Raymant's, of course. If Lester pulled up from long range, Coach Williams might hurl a chair at him from the bench.
And don't think Coach Washington will scold her if she does attempt it.
I swear I saw Hoosiers playing out before me as I walked into the echo-filled cathedral. Shooter was yelling, "Don't get caught watching the paint dry." Then Jimmy came around the picket fence and sank the shot. He always does.
I won't conjure up images of the fieldhouse — like the time my mom and dad first took my brother and me there when I was in high school. I don't think it was supposed to be open, but we walked around to a side door and sneaked into the house that Phog built.
I was afraid to walk on the court because I thought I might accidentally scratch it. I thought the excitement would fade away after a while, but I get the same chills at every game. My dad is more of a general sports fan than a Kansas fan, but when he came to see a game at the fieldhouse he caught the fever — standing, swaying and humming the alma mater in the student section. I think he even may have thrown a little confetti.
"She's been working on it in practice. I told her if she gets a breakaway to go for it." Washington said at a press conference last season.
The band starts ripping off those tunes, and you just can't help it. The trumpeters scream out those notes so high that veins pop out the sides of their heads, and it entrances you. It's basketball heaven.
Sorry, I guess I got carried away.
I'll try to stay faithful next year.

rewarmed the same ideas — stop the
run and don't give up any big plays.
In four losses, the defense has surrendered an average of 47 points and almost 500 yards of offense. Last year against Texas A&M, the Jayhawks played one of their best games of the year, but came up short in a 24-21 loss. The defense was keyed to stopping the Aggies rushing the ball, which will be the game plan again tomorrow. Texas A&M's
"Texas Tech did a lot of the same things that we did a year ago. You have to stand in there and you can't give up the big play." Allen said.
"If we get a little pressure on them two-thirds of the time I think we'll be OK."
Pressure up front would make things easier on the Kansas defensive backs, who were torched last week by K-State wide receivers. Gains of 88, 43, 38 and 35 yards took their toll on the 'Hawks.
"It shouldn't have been that bad," said wide receiver Quincy Roe after the K-State game.
"But bad things are going to happen back there. It's the nature of the position."
A win against a top-20 team like Texas A&M would be even sweeter for the 42 players on Kansas' roster who are from Texas. One of the few times during the year they go home, some of them, such as tight end David Hurst, are trying to use every minute possible to see friends and family.
"I'll probably get to see them for 20 minutes or so after the game," Hurst said.
"But if we win, Coach Allen will probably let us stay out there as long as we want."

PORTLAND, Ore. — Scottie Pippen had 14 points, seven assists and four rebounds Thursday night as the Portland Trail Blazers pulled away from the Golden State Warriors for a 105-85 exhibition victory.
Pippen was playing his first game at the Rose Garden since being traded from Houston for six Blazers earlier this month.
Wallace, Pipen, Damon Stoudamire, Detief Schrempf and Steve Smith consistently beat Golden State up and down the court, taking a 37-22 after one period.
Wallace, who shot 7-of-11, scored 10 points in the first quarter and played only 22 minutes for the Blazers.
From there, the Blazers' reserves upped the lead to 22 in the second quarter as Monty Buckley had nine points and Antonio Harvey and Jermaine O'Neal five each before the break.
Stoudamire also scored 10 points in the first as he and Wallace put on a
two-man show against the Warriors. Stoudamire had six of his eight assists in the opening period, four of them to Wallace, including an alley-oop dunk.
The Portland starters widened the lead to as many as 30 in the third quarter, with Pippen scoring seven points.
Stoudamire finished with 12 points, as did Harvey, while Smith had 10 and Schrempf grabbed eight rebounds and scored nine points.
Antawn Jamison led the Warriors with 12 points.

that kept him away from lawrence for 25 years. That pain came as a result of a triple overtime loss to North Carolina in the 1957 national championship game.

"He was very terribly disappointed in the loss," Waugh said. "After they lost the championship game his disappointment was very deep seeded." In fact, he later called it the biggest disappointment of his life.
Cain. "Chamberlain's story is one of proportions as his life, both on and off the basketball court, came full circle. As a high school senior in Philadelphia, Wilt was dominant — averaging nearly 40 points per game and twice scoring 90 in one game, Kansas' legendary coach F.C. "Phog" Allen made the journey across the country to recruit Chamberlain. This was a shocking move for the times, as not many African Americans were recruited to play college basketball in 1965 in the Midwest. "He was a giant in the game, even at
out with enough time even the deepest wounds can be healed. Wilf's return to Lawrence is a testament to that. Here was a place he arrived at 43 years earlier amid racism. Here was a place he left early because of his frustration, and here was a place he thought resented him forever for losing his name.
"That day I saw almost a cleansing of the fact that he had not been back," Kansas return Roy Williams said of Wilt's return.
nonetheless, Chamberlain came to Kansas. As he drove to Lawrence he stopped in a Kansas City restaurant to eat. Once seated, the waitress approached him and told him he could only be served in the kitchen. This was Walt's first encounter with racism in the Midwest, and it infuriated him.
"It was very gratifying because he had some very strong feelings about the people of Lawrence and was impressed that so many people cared about him back here," Waugh said.
Other than just infuriating him, it made him better. It made him realize that he needed to stand up and be a figure in the integration of the University — and that he became. His visibility and his activist efforts broke the racial barriers that existed at the time
And thus in an instant — and not a second too late — all pain was rectified. As the visions of Wilt speaking at halftime during the game that honored him fade, and the sounds of his final words at Allen Fieldhouse, "Rock Chalk Jayhawk," grow silent, one thing is certain—this man will never be forgotten anywhere. Especially not in Lawrence.
At Kansas, Chamberlain the basketball player also was dominant. He played two seasons of varsity basketball and averaged 29.0 points and 18.9 rebounds a game — both tops in Jayhawk history.
All of that came about in just two

Big 12 Football
A&M has tradition on its side
Jayhawks to battle home advantage
By Michael Riga
Kansan sportswriter
Texas A&M tradition dictates that after each home victory, the school's five yell leaders be tossed into a nearby fish pond.
If recent history continues, they better have their swimsuits ready.
After all, the Aggies are 52-4-1 at home in this decade, they sport a 16-game home winning streak, and their opponent tomorrow, Kansas, hasn't won a conference road game since 1996, an 11-game conference road losing streak.
To top it off, Texas A&M is currently ranked as the No. 13 team in the nation, recently has expanded Kyle Field to seat more than 80,000 screaming Texans, and is the 32-point favorite in tomorrow's game.
Although most signs point to an
Aggie victory, Texas A&M coach R.C. Slocum is worried about the letdown factor following last week's 45-13 victory against Baylor.
"You are never good enough where you can look at a game like this and say, 'We'll be OK this week, and then it's going to get tough after that,' Slocum said. "It would be very foolish of us to do that."
Also, the Aggies are trying to avoid a repeat of last season, when they traveled to Lawrence and were nearly knocked off by the underdog Jayhawks in a 24-21 victory. Last year, they looked past Kansas and toward a matchup the next week with Nebraska.
If additional motivation is necessary tomorrow, the Aggies can find solace in the fact that a victory puts them in the thick of the Big 12 Conference race. If they lose, they'll drop to 1-2 in the conference after being upset two weeks ago by Texas Tech.
"This is a conference game this week, so it counts as a big game," Slocum said. "You either take a step up or a big step backwards."
ATM
fourth in the Big 12 in total offense and third in total defense, yielding only 260 yards per game.
To avoid stitching their season into reverse, the Aggies will fall back on Slocum's bread and butter
The Aggies give up only 67.8 rushing yards per game, which ranks first in the conference, and they are also first in the conference in interceptions. While Texas A&M has almost no standout defensive players on this year's team, it relies on team speed and unity to buckle down on opposing offenses.
"The thing that really matters is
what you produce and what you do
on the field," said linebacker Cornelius Anthony. "We're going to let our actions speak for themselves and let everything else take care of itself."
The lack of individual stars doesn't mean the Aggies lack defensive confidence.
"We are very confident in our defense as a unit," Anthony said.
On offence, Texas A&M features steadily improving quarterback Randy McCown and running back Dante Hall, who torched the Jayhawks for 177 yards last year, but is injured and who is listed as questionable for tomorrow's game.
Despite Texas A&M's up-and-down 4-1 start to the season, the Aggies insist their eyes are still focused on the ultimate prize — the national championship.
"It should be everyone's ultimate goal," Anthony said. "But, in order to walk, you have to learn how to crawl first. We must learn to take care of the little things."

K-State to battle Aggie team not from Texas
By Michael Riga
After last week's rivalry-filled Saturday, five Big 12 Conference teams welcome days off tomorrow.
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
For seven other conference teams, however, tomorrow will be another day at the office. Three conference matchups, plus one non-conference affair, are on the slate.
Utah State at Kansas State Kansas State should beware of the Utah State Aggies.
After all, Utah State holds a 3-1 all-time series lead against the Wildcats, and K-State has not beaten the Aggies since 1970.
with the odds makers.
Despite the overwhelming history in its favor, Utah State still finds itself as a 31-point underdog, and, even worse, Aggies coach Dave Arslanian agreed
"For us to think that we're good as Kansas State right now would be ludicrous," Arslanian said. "What they have done with their record and where they're at, they're a top-10 team. What we have done with our record, we're not. Yet, both teams better show up and be ready to play anyway."
Colorado at Texas Tech
On paper, Colorado at Texas Tech appears to be a little more evenly matched football game than the one in Manhattan, Kan. Both teams are coming off emotional games last week. The Red Raiders lost 41-21 to Oklahoma State, and Colorado pulled out a 46-39 overtime victory against Missouri.
Texas Tech's loss to the Cowboys came one week after the Red Raiders upset Texas A&M, and coach Spike Dykes said that the emotional roller coaster his
team had experienced this season was a way of life in the Big 12.
"It's football every week, so you can't think about the last game too long." Dykes said. "You always have another team starring in the face, so you can't let the losses fester."
Colorado coach Gary Barnett
has dented vehemently rumors this week that he has considered playing corner-back Ben Kelly
Tomorrow's game also will pit Colorado's second-ranked passing offense in the Big 12 against Texas Tech's seventh-ranked total defense in the conference, and Texas Tech is looking to
who has played an important role in each of Colorado's three wins, on offense.

Flag football teams prepare to face off for championship
Two of yesterday's games determined who will be in the finals of the men's open and men's greek associate divisions, two of the most popular divisions in intramural. The teams left have traveled a long road to get to the championship.
With the finals of the intramural flag football tournament coming this Sunday, the number of teams still in the hunt is getting smaller and smaller.
In the men's open division, the Tomcats beat the Legal Eagles 35-21, and TFC defeated Terminal Velocity 21-13 in semifinal games. The Tomcats will play TFC in the championship Sunday.
By Jason Walker sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Brandon Puttroff, Newton junior and member of the Tomcats, said he was happy with his team's performance.
Puttroff said that he didn't know much about TFC but that he was hopeful his team could pull off a victory Sunday.
"Our offense looked good, but we had too many penalties," he said. "Our defense could have been tighter on the line, too."

Emmott said that although his team wasn't experienced at playing together, it seemed like it was starting to come together.
“It’s kind of a tradition that Phi Delt does good in intramurals,” he said. “We’re trying to foreshadow a good future by our pledges winning.”
"Our defense was pretty solid," he said. "If we can play a good game on Sunday, we shouldn't have any worries."
In the men's greek division yesterday, Beta 1 beat Phi Psi 1 10-7, and Sigma Chi 1 beat AKL 1 39-0. Beta 1 and Sigma Chi 1 will play Sunday in one semifinal and DU 1 will play Sig Ep 1 in the other men's greek division semifinal.
Cameron Emmott, Kansas City, Kan., freshman and captain of the Phi Delt Pledges, said that the Phi Delt Pledges won last year and that it put pressure on this year's team to succeed as well.
"We'll just go in and play our hardest." he said.

Top-form Kansas has will to conquer No. 4 Nebraska
By Chris Wristen
sports@kanson.com
Kansas sportwriter
The Kansas soccer team will face its toughest test of the season tonight when it takes on the No. 4 Nebraska Cornhuskers at 7 p.m. in Lincoln, Neb.
Nebraska won two games I weekend, including a 9-0 mauling of Big 12 Conference opponents Colorado.
"Nebraska's going to be tough," coach Mark Francis said. "They're fast, physical, athletic and they're all over
the field. we're going to have to match them as far as aggression and intensity. We can't match up with them physically, so we're going to have to adjust a little bit and try to limit the space they have to play in."
While defeating the Communist 12-1-1 overall and 5-0 in the Big 12, appears to be a near impossible
task, Francis thinks otherwise.
“There’s only one team that ‘beaten them so far this year, and that’s Santa Clara and they’re No. 1 in the country, so sure they can be beaten.” Francis said. “Are we going to beat them? I don’t know.”
The Jayhawks are facing the
their best soccer of the season. Kansas, 8-5 overall and 3-3 in the Big 12, has won three straight conference games and has set a school record for wins in a season. In addition, the Kansas
offense has been potent after scoring six goals this past weekend.
"If there's any point in the season where we're ready, I think it's now," he said. "We've won six of our last seven games. We're riding pretty high right now, so if you've got to play the fourth-ranked team in the country, you might as well play them now."
"We can't match up with them physically, so we're going to have to adjust a little bit and try to limit the space they have to play in."
Mark Francis Kansas soccer coach
The team is also confident that it will give the Cornhuskers a run for their money.
"We're going to be tough to beat, and we're going to fight right to the 90th minute," said junior defender Emma Di Cesare.
The Jayhawks will travel to Iowa State Sunday for a 1 p.m. game against the Cyclones in Ames, Iowa.

Aggies to be met by large crowd
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com Kansan swordwriter
Late Night show to net extra fans
The Jayhawks won't have to worry about fan support tonight.
The Kansas volleyball team will kick off Late Night with Roy Williams at 7 p.m. with a match against No. 16 Texas A&M in Allen Fieldhouse. The fieldhouse seats 16,300 and is expected to be filled with fans awaiting the first basketball practice of the season at midnight.
That translates into quite a home-court advantage for the volleyball team.
"We know there will be a large crowd," said Kansas coach Ray Bechard. "And hopefully our team will respond to it."
The Jayhawks, 13-5 overall and
4-3 in the Big 12 Conference, will face a Texas A&M squad that hasn't played since last Saturday. The Aggies, 13-3 and 4-2, are led by senior middle blocker Amber Woolsey, who has 216 kills and 72 blocks this season.
"They're a veteran team, and
VOLLEYBALL
ence this year, and they expect to do well in the NCAA Tournament. They're an extremely quality team, and we're expecting a tough match."
The Jayhawks are 0-7 all-time against Texas A&M and haven't taken a game from the Aggies since Nov. 21, 1997.
Kansas is coming off a 3-1 loss
Wednesday night at No. 13 Kansas State, which snapped a three-match winning streak. The Jayhawks will try to get back on track tonight in the fieldhouse, which they called home from 1975 to 1998 before moving into the Horejsi Family Athletics Center this season.
The Jayhawks have been working out this week in the fieldhouse, including practicing there last night to get acclimated to the atmosphere.
"The team is obviously excited about playing in this type of environment, where there will be a lot of fans and hopefully a lot of enthusiasm." Bechard said.
Kansas is also hoping the Aggies will be disrupted by the partisan crowd.
"They're not used to seeing so many people," Bechard said. "It will be interesting to see how they react. When the crowd gets involved, hopefully it'll create a difference."

As of Friday, the KU Parking Department had issued 70,370 tickets this calendar year to KU students, faculty and staff throughout the University's 118 parking lots.
A hot pink envelope on the windshield of a vehicle parked in any lot at the University of Kansas can mean only one thing: The KU parking department has struck again.
Donna Hultine, assistant director of the KU Parking Department, said the distribution of tickets issued throughout the campus's 118 lots were fairly equal.
"Only a few lots have received a higher number of tickets compared with the rest," Hultine said.
The most heavily ticketed area on campus was lot 8 located on Sunnyside Avenue, where 7,109, or about 10 percent, of tickets have been issued this year, Hultine said.
Lot 8 is a blue zone where only faculty and staff members whose age plus years of service equals at least 60 are allowed to park.
This is a surprisingly high number considering how few spaces are located on Sunnyside Avenue, she said.
Chad Allen, Norton junior, said he constantly parked in zones that were not designated for students.

"I think it's a convenience issue with a lot of the people who decide to illegally park in lot 8." Hultine said. "It's close to a lot of buildings that students and faculty frequently use, and some are just willing to take the risk."
"I'm always in a hurry, and the most
Sunnyvale Avenue/Lot = 7,109 tickets
Robinson Lot 90 = 5,267 tickets
Memorial Stadium/Lot 90 = 4,713 tickets
GSP-Cortin/Lot 111 = 3,980 tickets
Burge Union/Lot 72 = 2,285 tickets
Oliver Hall/Lot 112 = 1,230 tickets

"I'm always in a hurry, and the most convenient place to park is in either a blue or red zone. I've only been caught a couple of times, so I'm willing to face the consequences of my actions."
"The number of tickets in some lots, especially lots 90 and 91 are a little deceptive," Hultine said. "There are hundreds of more spaces in these two lots than in others around campus, and this leads to higher numbers of vehicles that can be ticketed."

Norton junior
A combined 16,245, or 23 percent of tickets issued this year, have been in those four lots.
Other heavily ticketed areas on campus include lot 90 behind Robinson Center, lot 111 near Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall, lot 91 southeast of Memorial Stadium and lot 72 near the Burge Union.
The fine for parking illegally in any of the designated colored zones on campus is $20. When a person has accumulated three unpaid traffic violations, his or her vehicle will be towed at a cost of the unpaid parking fines and the price of the tow.
Hultine said that anyone who parks illegally should be aware that those five lots were patrolled heavier than some of the others.

Chain stores draw ire of KU Environs
Protesters choose local store as focus
By Derek Prater

Kansas staff writer
KU students demonstrated Saturday afternoon in the 900 block of Massachusetts Street, encouraging shoppers to eschew national chains in favor of locally owned businesses.
More than 20 students passed out
fliers with information about downtown chains and held signs with slogans such as, "BREAK THE CHAINS."
The demonstration, organized by KU Environs, coincided with the 15th Annual World Anti-McDonald's day and was centered in front of Chipotle Mexican Grill, 911 Massachusetts St., which has business ties to McDonald's.
Shannon Martin, Topeka senior and KU Environs coordinator, said demonstrators wanted to dispel the perception that students were the ones who supported national chains, such as The Gap and Abercrombie & Fitch.
"Chain stores target the student consumer group," Martin said. "I think it's important that students come out and show that they want local businesses to thrive and downtown to remain strong."
Matt Chapman, Wayne, Neb., senior and KU Environers member, said chain stores, motivated by profit, drained local culture.
"Corporate chain businesses affect the community and have the capacity to strangle life out of local businesses," Chanman said.
Martin said this year's demonstration was different than ones in the past
because rather than just protesting certain businesses, the goal was to show support for local business.
However, demonstrators still wanted to bring attention to Chippeau because of its ties to McDonald's and because of the protesters' concern about McDonald's business practices, Martin said.
Matt Easley. Chipotle store manager, said he was concerned that demonstrators were misinforming the public.

Kansas junior is making accessing the Internet easy
By Todd Halstead
writer@kansan.com
Kansas writer
Corey Carson, a computer engineering student, has been bitten by the entrepreneurial bug.
Last summer, Carson, Ft. Collins, Colo., junior, employed his computer skills to create KansasNet Communications, an Internet service provider.
"I've always been interested in computers, and I felt like there was a future in the Internet, so I wanted to get in on that," said Carson, who took a computer course at Colorado State University as a sophomore in high school. "My family helped out, and I gave the bank a proposal. They liked the idea so they gave me some money for it, and I started it up at the end of the summer."
KansasNet provides domain name hosting and Web hosting for those who desire their own Web site. Users of the company can pay the promotional price of $10 a month to ensure an address on the Internet.
KansasNet has 30 customers, consisting of Carson's friends and residents in the Lawrence community. Carson also has two fellow computer engineering students helping him run the company.
"If they wanted to sell something, my company provides the domain." Carson said. "E-commerce is going to be big someday."
E-commerce uses electronic information technology to conduct business
transactions among customers, sellers and other trading partners.
KansasNet offers Integrated Service Digital Network access, frame relay and 56K dial-up access, in addition to Web and domain hosting. These options vary in price in relation to the quality of service they provide and to what KansasNet's competitors charge.
The 56K dial-up access is the best connection on the market, Carson said. Users of his company could access the 56K modem even if their modems were not that powerful.
"They dial into my computer, and it authenticates them," he said. "Then they get access to my network, which then gives them access to the Internet because my network is on the Internet."
Customers can use the ISDN service, which offers the same access as the 56K modem, but with speeds up to 128K and with additional online space. Carson said phone companies would probably upgrade their systems from ISDN to Digital Subscriber Lines within the next six months.
While cable modems use cable lines to provide Internet access, DSL uses existing phone lines with a box installed between the computer and the phone.
"It has speeds comparable to cable modem, some say faster, and you will still be able to use your phone." Carson said.
Customers also can utilize frame relay, which allows them to connect to the Internet through KansasNet via T1 at a discounted rate. A T1 provides a faster connection to the Internet.

New harassing calls spark an inquiry
Kansan staff writer
An investigation into eight harassing phone calls received by six female students on Thursday has led the KU Public Safety Office to two male University of Kansas students.
Sgt. Troy Mailen, of the KU Public Safety Office, said all eight calls between 11:30 a.m. and 11:13 p.m. Thursday were to female students living at Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall.
In at least two of the calls, the two males represented themselves as pizza delivery drivers to get the six victims to talk, Ma llen said.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey, of the KU Public Safety Office, said after the incidents were reported, the office was able to identify, locate and interview the suspects through the course of its investigation.
"The calls were harassing, but I would not describe them as threatening or lewd and lascivious," Mailen said. Mailen said most of the incidents consisted of heavy breathing or calling and hanging up.
"Our office will not go into any specific details at this time to preserve any ongoing or future investigations," Bailey said.
"We would not send the evidence before the district attorney's office if we did not believe we had a strong case." Mailen said.
He said the identity of the two male students would not be released until either a notice to appear or a warrant for arrest was issued by the district attorney's office.
Bailey said the office was able to exclude the two suspects from responsibility for the original 14 harassing phone calls placed on Oct. 4. Fourteen female students reported harassing and threatening phone calls that day from various locations around campus.
Mailen said the two suspects were playing off the hype of the original calls placed 10 days before.
The investigation continues into the threatening and harassing phone calls placed prior to Thursday, Bailey said.
Anyone who has received a harassing phone call or has any information about possible suspects is encouraged to call the KU Public Safety Office, he said.

Lawrence police officer to be arraigned Tuesday
The first court appearance for Micah Stegall, the Lawrence police officer charged with battery and driving while intoxicated, has been rescheduled for 2:30 p.m. Tuesday at Douglas County Court, the district attorney's office said.
The charges stem from events that occurred Aug. 14, when bicyclist Steve Mitchell was struck by a Jeep Wrangler driven by Stegall at Eighth and Vermont streets. Mitchell was treated at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, and he later underwent plastic surgery on his hand.
A judge from Topeka will preside because Stegall's father is employed by Douglas County court services.

Suspect in death of girl remains in medical center
KANSAS CITY, Kan.—The suspect in a kidnapping that ended in a 10-year-old girl's death remained hospitalized Saturday, the FBI said.
"His temperature's too high," said FBI spokesman Jeff Lanza Saturday afternoon. "He's going to be staying the night again."
Keith N. Nelson, 24, has been in the University of Kansas Medical Center since Thursday, when he was captured near the Kansas River.
The girl was pulled into a pickup truck while roller skating on Tuesday evening. Pamela was abducted shortly before 6 p.m. on Tuesday, in front of her 11-year-old sister, Penny.
Nelson had a fractured knee and an injured ankle when he was arrested — the result of a fall the day before, authorities said. He underwent surgery on Friday morning, just hours before officers searching a wooded area near Grain Valley, Mo., found the nude body of Pamela Butler of Kansas City, Kan.
Lanza did not say where Nelson would be taken after his discharge from the hospital.
"I'm not sure it's hit Penny yet," said Cherier West, Pamela and Penny's mother. "In a couple of days, she'll want to play and ask 'Where's Pammy?'
"We won't say where he's going until he's there," he said. "In a case like this, there are security issues to consider."
Authorities are withholding the cause of death while the investigation continues.
Federal Reserve Chairman says economy ready for 2000
NATION
WASHINGTON—Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said Friday that the millennium computer bug should not disrupt the nation's economy unless consumers and businesses significantly change their buying patterns.
In remarks to the National Italian-American Foundation, Greenspan expressed confli-
dence that American businesses will be ready for the Year 2000 date change given the intensive preparations they have made.
"The probability of a cascading of computer failures in mission-critical systems is now negligible." Greenspan said.

Greenspan: Said consumer reactions will determine impact
Greenspan said he still is apprehensive about the potential for economic impact of hoarding or other significant changes in traditional spending patterns. Consumer reactions also will be critical to determining whether the computer change will have a major impact on

Wildfire continues to burn in Northern California
BELLA VISTA, Calif. — Residents living near this rural Northern California town were hastily evacuated Saturday because of a fast-moving brush fire that grew from 3,000 to 15,000 acres in a single afternoon.
Fifty to 70 homes and other structures had been consumed by the blaze, which broke out about 4:15 a.m. Saturday in an area that expiienced a similar brush fire just weeks ago.
"We have nothing left in this town," said California Department of Forestry representative Rose Wykoff.
More than 500 firefighters were working the blaze, which was made more intense by warm temperatures and gusty winds exceeding 25 mph. Late Saturday, forestry officials reported that a volunteer firefighter had been killed when she was struck on a highway by a fire truck.
The cause of the fire was not known, and there was no estimate of a time for containment.

Pro- and anti-Pinochet forces take to the street
SANTIAGO, Chile — Police using water cannons scattered scores of supporters of Gen. Augusto Pinochet on Saturday as the demonstrators protested the arrest of the former dictator exactly one year ago.
Last week, a British magistrate ruled that Pinochet could be extradited to Spain, where he faced charges of torture. The general's lawyers planned to appeal the decision.
Pinochet led a bloody coup in 1973 and toppled a Marxist president, Salvador Allende. Chile has acknowledged that 3,197 people were killed or disappeared during Pinochet's 17-year authoritarian rule.
And in Spain, 200 people celebrated Pinochet's capture with a cake in the form of a jail, while singing and dancing at the central Colon Square in Madrid.
In London, 300 people gathered at the secluded estate where Pinochet lives under police guard, demanding he be extradited.

Spending limits nixed in Senate campaigns
By Chris Borniger
writer @kanson.com
Kansas staff write
In the past two Student Senate elections, candidates and their coalitions were bound by spending limits.
This year, that boundary will be gone. The Senate task force on Election and Referendum said Thursday night that it would include a clause in Senate rules and regulations that would prohibit the elections commission from instituting spending limits.
"It doesn't price people out of elections," he said. "In years past, the winners have
Partha Mazumdar, graduate senator and task force member, disagreed with the decision. He said limits would make campaigns more fair.
been the ones that exorbitantly outspent the other coalition."
STUDENT
THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
SENATE
Ben Walker,
Nunemaker senator
and task force member,
said it was essentially a
free speech issue.
"The Supreme Court has ruled that they're (spending limits) unconstitutional," Walker said. "The question is, does that prescribe apply in a university setting?"
Walker filed the original complaint against the commission with the University Judicial Board in February. He cited the Supreme Court case Buckley v. Valeo, in which the Court ruled that spending limits violated the First Amendment right to freedom of speech.
Walker, treasurer of the YOU coalition's campaign last spring, was fined for surpassing the $1,500 coalition spending limit last year, but the Judicial Board overturned it July 30. It ruled that Senate was primarily a political organization, thus exempting it from the limits.
Richard Levy, professor of law and chairman of the Judicial Board panel that heard Walker's complaint, said the decision was justified, because Senate performed real governmental functions, such as collecting fees and allocating student money.
STUDENT SENATE ELECTION AND REFERENDUM TASK FORCE
Other issues the task force will address include:
The elections commission's compliance with the Kangaroo Open Meetings Act
Limitations on the commission's jurisdiction.
- Limitations on the commission's jurisdiction.
- An appeals process for complaints and
A system to verify that referendum items are truthful and accurate.
He also said limits could be legal in high school elections, but the nature of students at a university made them unacceptable in that setting.
"Students in college are acting as adults," Levy said. "Most of them are over 18; typically they're not living at home, and the University only plays a limited role as a substitute parent. In high schools and elementary schools, there's quite a difference."
Levy said disparities between the finances of opposing coalitions and candidates could be unfair, but limits were not the answer to that problem.
"I'm not sure if the cure would be worse than the disease," he said.
Walker said he didn't know how much the YOU coalition spent last spring. Mazumdar said Delta Force ended up just slightly under the $1,500 Limit.
Mazumdar also said that although limits might hinder speech, they were acceptable at the University of Kansas.
"The University is a place of education, not electioneering." he said.
Walker, however, said limits had never proven to be necessary for fairness. Moreover, they have reduced the pool of candidates and coalitions, he said.
"Last year was only the second year they enforced spending limits," he said. "Ironically, for the last two years, there have only been two coalitions."

Walker said the task force would issue its final report by Nov. 29.
Advising center braces for rush of 4,000 students
By Nathan Willis
Advising begins today.
That means the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center is preparing for a rush of more than 4,000 students who will pour in before advising ends Nov. 17.
Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, director of the center, said the number of students seeking advising had been increasing in recent semesters.
The reason, she said,
was that awareness of
the center among students
had increased
since its founding a
few years ago.
With more students using the center's services, students should arrange appointments soon. Tuttle said.
"I think that finally the majority of the freshmen and sophomores are utilizing the resources here," said Justin Nichols, Topeka junior and peer adviser.

The center is located at 126 Strong Hall.
She said the center encouraged students to call 864-0176 to sign up for an appointment, though walk-ins also were welcome at its office at 126 Strong Hall.
The phone number to make appointments is 864-0176.
She said the center specialized in advising those who had not yet decided on a major, although it served students from all majors, including pre-law, pre-business and pre-nursing students. Although the center primarily advises freshmen and sophomores, other students also can seek help or advice.
With the increasing demand for its services, the center has expanded its staff. It now has 13 professional advisers, seven faculty advisers and about 25 peer advisers.
"The advising here is very good," Nichols said. "Peer advisers work with faculty advisers, and I think that makes the students more comfortable."

people are familiar with them."
Martin said that the growth of chains was starting to have a snowball effect and that downtown could lose its uniqueness.
She said locally-owned businesses were what made downtown special and were the reason that people came from out of town to shop in Lawrence.
Sarah Fayman, president of Downtown Lawrence Inc., said that downtown still had a healthy dose of locally-owned businesses, but that the growth of national chains needed to be watched carefully.
Buffy Baldwin, Lawrence resident, said she was concerned about the increase in chain stores.
"I was born here, and I don't like it," she said. "My grandfather and my father both have businesses here."

Kansas students should stand up, be counted as residents for census
With spring enrollment just around the corner, students are gearing up for the fight to get good classes. This school year, decisions about what classes to take will be coupled with the decision about whether to validate Lawrence as students' permanent residence on census adjustment forms.
Regardless of where a student calls home, every student should mark his or her college address as a permanent residence on this form. We should not be forced to make this decision in the first place.
Every 10 years, the federal government conducts a census to get a measure of demographic indicators. The state of Kansas 'adjusts' its census figures to reflect movement of college students and military personnel. Kansas is
Kansas' adjustment system needs to be eliminated
the only state to do this. With an adjusted census, Lawrence and other college towns lose the political clout originally intended by the head count.
This arcane practice is unnecessary and, in the long run, costly. While the purpose might be to project a more accurate count, it only serves to muddy the ideals of the census. The census is important in providing a picture of how populous areas are. By adjusting these figures, areas lose their identity. For instance, Lawrence ceases to be a college town when college students are subtracted from the mix.
In the last adjustment, Douglas County lost 12,038 people. This number could have meant one more state representative for the county. One extra representative means one more voice that can reflect student concerns.
The state of Kansas should join the rest of the country in ending this practice of census adjustment. In the meantime, students can lessen the impact of the adjustment form, which will be delivered to students sometime before April of this school year. It is imperative that they answer "yes" to the question, "For purpose of representation in the Kansas Legislature, do you consider your college address to be your permanent residence?" In doing so, students become a more important contingent in Kansas politics.
Jeff Engstrom for the editorial board
Full employment good for students
A story in the Lawrence Journal- World stated that Lawrence businesses are facing the area's lowest unemployment rates in 20 years. According to the article, "In Douglas County, the total number of jobs has increased by 4,000 during the past five years, to 46,000. That's up 9.5 percent, compared with only an eight percent increase in the number of available workers since 1994."
This is good news for students, or anyone who's considered searching out part-time employment opportunities. In the meantime, fast-food managers and retail chain associates scramble frantically about, looking for the best possible employee incentives they
Abundance of part-time jobs is good news for students looking for employment
can offer. This surplus of jobs coupled with a lack of employees poses a problem.
Fast-food restaurants have been quick to address this problem, as they seem to suffer the most from the current state of "full employment." This however, doesn't seem so shocking, as anyone who's ever worked fast food can attest to, it can be pretty unappealing.
the rapid razing of land happening due East of here. Sometimes it's scary how close Lawrence is to Kansas City. Maybe those wanting to migrate west to our hip oasis can pick up some of the slack of our employment dilemma.
Lawrence is growing fast. Our city's progress may soon resemble
Granted, it's a pessimistic view. But full employment seems like a scary mirage under which to conduct business. Surely not everyone in Lawrence who needs a job to live above the poverty line is employed. But nevertheless the cry has been made public, and with employers currently offering more incentives than ever to potential employees, it might be time again to don the apron, and start shoveling fries.

Solution for handguns: the 28th amendment
We should ban handguns. No exceptions, no loopholes, no nothing. We should ban handguns.
The United States is the only country in the Western world that allows almost unlimited access to handguns. Canada, Germany.
Erin Simpson columnist opinior@kansan.com
POLYTECHNICAL RESEARCH CO., LTD.
many, Britain, Japan and Australia all have substantially stricter regulations on handguns than the United States. It is no coincidence, then, that CNN reports that there are six homicides per million in Canada, two in Germany, one in Japan and 62.4 in the United States. Our homicide rate (even with a substantially larger population) is 10 times higher than our northern neighbor.
There is no Canadian
There is no Canadian equivalent of Columbine. There is no Jonesboro in Japan. Why not? Kids around the world suffer from the same teenage angst as Americans. Hollywood and Silicon Valley have done a remarkable job making sure that you can watch the Matrix or play Quake around the world. What makes America so gruesomely special?
Guns, guns, and lots more guns. Recent tragedies in both Britain and Australia have led to a strict tightening of gun control laws. In the aftermath of Columbine, however, we in the United States are subjected to Dan Quayle's plea to not use this tragedy as an excuse to strengthen gun control laws. The Economist has reported that in the last two years more than 30 students have died as a result of violence in schools. And Sarah Brady, president of Handgun Control Inc., notes that 14 students are
killed each day as a result of gun-related violence. We should handguns.
Wait, you say. The second amendment of the Constitution guarantees individuals the right to bear arms. Actually, it doesn't, according to a slew of court rulings.
For those still not convinced, I offer a solution: the 28th amendment. An amendment to ban handguns.
The second amendment says: "A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." The Supreme Court ruled in U.S. v. Miller (1939) that the purpose of the amendment was to assure the continuation and render possible the effectiveness of the state militia. The Court has twice ruled that militia refers today to the National Guard. Furthermore, the Court has allowed local laws banning handguns to stand.
Opponents will claim that guns are necessary for self-defense. But statistics tell a different story. According to the FBI, there only were 176 instances of justifiable handgun homicides in 1996 compared with 9,390 handgun murders. And the New England Journal of Medicine reported in 1998 that a handgun in the home was 22 times more likely to be used against someone you know than in self-defense. Banning handguns would help shrink these numbers.
Why do Americans continue to avoid this issue? We should stop blaming the media, the movie industry and computer games. We should stop relying on counseling and early warning signs. We should stop wringing our hands about violence in America.
We should stop misinterpreting the Constitution. And start banning handguns.

Golden Key won't open a stairway to heaven
Back in the old days of the Church, long before the Pope turned his back on the Holocaust but after holy men stopped killing Muslims for sport, there was a substantial bit of money made in the selling of indulgences.
But what about the peasants that couldn't afford to buy their way to heaven? And why am I adopting the tone of a bigoted anti-Catholic? It is because in today's mail I received an invitation to join the Golden Key National Honor
The idea was simple: Pay your local priest an amount commensurate with the weight of your sins, and you've bought yourself a stairway to heaven. Until Martin Luther came along and made a fuss, the system functioned smoothly. The rich folks could relax, confident in their otherworldly salvation, and meanwhile the divine coffers filled with gold, financing many decadent orgies in the halls of the Vatican.
Golden Key National Honor Society.
Mark
McMaster
columnist
opinion @ kansan.com

At first, the letter sounded pleasing: It told me I was talented, a hard worker committed to academic excellence—I'm not sure if all that is true, but those are things I don't mind hearing. Especially when printed on official University of Kansas stationery. "Sure, if they want to honor me with a membership in their club, I'm up for that," I think.
But then I get to the bottom of the letter. To accept the
privilege of membership it costs $60
How much honor does $60 buy you? You can list "Golden Key Honor Society" on your resume as often as you like. You can choose from a range of "official Golden Key pins, charms, medallions and honor cords," and accessorize your outfit with a hint of scholarship. When you're having pangs of insecurity, you can reassure yourself that you're among 600,000 of the world's more talented students.
So who gets invited to share in the honor and who doesn't? The criterion is simple. If you rank in the top 15 percent of your college class you get the invite in the mail. So I wonder, couldn't you just tell potential employers you have a good grade point average? If you really need to advertise to your peers, you can make some t-shirts with
your class rank on them.
Honor society devotes would likely say that I've missed the point. Honor societies aren't just about resume building, they'd tell me, but about bonding with a group of talented young adults and cooperating to help the community. I'm sure Golden Key is much the same. But do you have to qualify for one of these societies to do volunteer work? I could easily devote my time to a homeless shelter or Habitat for Humanity without paying 60 bucks for the privilege. Plus I wouldn't have to go to tedious monthly meetings.
McMaster is a Wichita senior in journalism, political science and humanities.
So this time I've decided not to accept the membership to the Golden Key Honor Society. I appreciate the offer, and I know that there are sincere people involved who believe in the values the organization was founded upon. I certainly don't aim to offend them by writing this. But I simply can't afford to spend $60 for a line on my resume. If I need to impress future employers, I'll just dig out some paperwork from high school and boast that back in 1995, I was known as "Who's Who Among American High School Students." That fact may not get me into heaven, but I know that somewhere up there, God already knows I made good grades my junior year.
Much like Martin Luther, I've had a distaste for honor societies for a while now. I remember the days of National Honor Society back in high school, and even then, I thought the idea of a club for smart people was a bit silly. I recall holding back giggles as we lit candles in unison and chanted a solemn oath to the principles of Scholarship, Honor, and Service as our parents looked on proudly. And there were always a few kids who really got into it. They were organization men. One day they'd be Shriners. I hated those kids.
Even in college, I've been lured into honor societies. It's hard not to feel guilty rejecting the chance to be recognized. My sophomore year I was a member of some organization—it had three Greek letters in its name, but I forget which ones. The initiation this time was even worse than NHS. It took place in the Danforth Chapel, giving the whole ceremony a creepy, almost sacrilegious atmosphere. I couldn't help but think, "What is the point of this? Why am I doing this again?" But at that point I had already paid my membership dues.

Wilt Chamberlain won't be forgotten
The untimely death of Wilt Chamberlain is something that is saddening to the world of sports, but even worse for us here in Lawrence. Wilt the Stilt can be argued as the greatest man to have ever played the game. While he attended KU for only two years, those years were magical. Setting school records for most points scored in a game, most field goals in a game and most rebounds in a season. He lead the "Hawks to one of the greatest games in NCAA history, the title game against North Carolina that Kansas eventually lost 54-53 in triple overtime. Wilt went on to a prolific professional career. Setting unbreakable records with one hundred points in a game on March 2, 1962 and fifty five rebounds in a single game. Aside from all of the records, he was a great person as well.
Lawrence should be proud to have been home to such a man. Something should be done in remembrance of him. Perhaps the team could wear a black band on their uniform, or a small patch on their jerseys bearing his number. It
was wonderful that he was able to make it back during KU's hundredth year anniversary celebration to see his jersey retired. Wilt was a man whose game, courage and wonderful personality will never be forgotten.

Candidate targets Jayhawk voters
Campaign trail leads politician to Fieldhouse
By Katrina Hull Special to the Kansan
A doctor and budding politician's love for Kansas basketball provided him with the perfect excuse to campaign at the University of Kansas during Friday's Late Night with Rov Williams.
Beach balls batting around Allen Fieldhouse read, "Doc Rocks 2000," as Jeff Colyer, an Overland Park surgeon, made his rounds recruiting and visiting with KU students to help him make a bid for the 3rd District Republican nomination to challenge Congressman Dennis Moore in the 2002 election. The 3rd district includes Lawrence and Kansas City, Kan.
"I'm a Jayhawk." Colyer said. "It's the best excuse to come tonight I've ever had."
Colyer, a Hays native, said he attended former Kansas coach Ted
Owens' basketball camp during the 1970s. He received his bachelor's degree in economics from Georgetown University, a master's in international relations from the University of Cambridge in England and returned to Kansas for a medical degree from the University.
Colyer said he brought his campaign to campus because the KU student body was one of his highest priorities. He said the college generation was concerned with the future and making a difference locally and in the world, which was what his campaign was about.
"There's a lot of passion and ideals here that we can make a difference," he said. "There'a sense of greater awareness and concern."
Aside from education, Colyer said his focus was on long-term issues such as saving Social Security without burdening students, who comprise the next tax-paying generation.
which Colver is experienced.
International relations impact the local job market, as 15 percent of jobs in the 3rd District are related to foreign trade, he said. International politics is an area in
Beginning in 1988, he served as a White House fellowship member under presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush. Colyer was one of 12 special assistants who helped make policy.
In the midst of international issues, Kansas was never far from Colyer's mind. He said the Soviet grain trade issues he helped resolve involved the Kansas economy. He also secured the University of Kansas Medical Center a $6 million grant to assist the former Soviet Union and Hungary in pediatric medical care through the exchange of doctors and medical students.
As a surgeon, Colyer specializes in reconstructive surgery to correct physical deformities. He has been on search and rescue missions with the International Medical Corps to Albania, Rwanda and Kenya. In Albania, he helped Kosovo war refugees; in Rwanda, he operated on victims of the civil war; and in Kenya, he worked with those maimed in the U.S. embassy bombing.
Colyer is asking KU students to
help him. He will be meeting with interested campaign volunteers at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union.
Some KU students are already involved in his campaign.
"He's not a career politician. He's a doctor, a surgeon who's down-to-earth and out for a positive change." Bellante said.
Stephanie Bellane, a Leawood junior, passed out filers and candy at the Baldwin Maple Leaf Festival on Saturday. Bellane said helping Colyer was a good opportunity for her to get involved in politics that affected her life.
She said she planned to help with Colyer's campaign until the Republican primary in August 2000, and if he won, she would continue to support him through the election.
Colyer said students were concerned individuals who wanted to get involved and make changes in the world around them.
"The theme that runs through my campaign is that ordinary people really can make a difference," he said.

and computer science, said the computer was a great vehicle for business because the number of customers available through the Internet was enormous.
"It's also a great mechanism for distributing commerce," Gauch said. "We can actually market products to customers without a store. You can operate a business and make it look good, but actually operate it out of your basement."
Carson may not use his basement to operate his new business, but his room seems to work just fine.
One wall of his bedroom is lined with a monitor, three computers he built
himself, a modem pool and a voice T1 among other equipment necessary for the success of his business.
The modem pool answers phone calls for ISDN, Carson said. The voice T1 has a capacity of 24 phone lines. This means fewer busy signals, which allows more computers to call.
"I wanted to make it a real reliable service," Carson said. "We had a philosophy to make a good, reliable server for the user-to-modem ratio to enable less busy signals and faster service. It works and it's quick."

Speech to open no-alcohol week
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
By Lori O'Toole
Tonight students will be able to discover how to spot a bad kisser, why men do not return phone calls and why women accompany each other to the restroom.
David Coleman, a nationally-known speaker, will address these and other issues at his audience-interactive "Creative Dating" speech open to all students at 7 tonight at the Lied Center.
The speech, sponsored by the Panhellenic Association and the Interfaternity Council, will be the first event of the University of Kansas' Alcohol Responsibility Week, which will emphasize the University's campaign for moderate drinking.
Coleman will use humor to suggest ways students can have fun on dates while avoiding sex and alcohol.
"The speaker will be really funny," said Allegra DeSalvo, Panhellenic vice president of educational programming. "It was our idea that it would probably be better if the message was not given in such a heavy presentation."
Julie Francis, Watkins Memorial Health Center public health educator, said the University had been participating in Alcohol Responsibility Week for at least 10 years. The week is observed by colleges and universities across the country.
There will be several free events throughout the week,
including Haunted Hawk Night on Friday from 10 p.m.
to 2:30 a.m at the Kansas Union. The student-planned
evening will include a dance, prizes, food and zames.
She said this year's activities would be different from those in past years, with a greater emphasis on positive reinforcement.
Francis said other colleges with similar campaigns, including Northern Illinois State University and the University of Arizona, reported a decrease in the number of high-risk student drinkers as well as a decrease in alcohol-related injuries.
"The University is really looking at the alcohol policy, and they've seen there's room for expanding students' options for things to do on the weekends," she said. "It's a week to bring more issues to the forefront."

U.S. seeks to alter arms treaty
White House offers to help Russia finish missile-tracking radar
The Associated Press
NEW YORK—The Clinton administration is offering to help Russia complete a large missile-tracking radar if it agrees to renegotiate an arms control agreement so the United States could build a national missile defense system, The New York Times reported yesterday.
Under the proposal, the United States would help the Russians finish their radar near Irkutsk, Silberia, the paper said, citing unidentified Russian and American officials.
A nationwide defense system is prohibited by the 1972 Antiballistic Missile Treaty.
Moscow so far has refused to alter
it and announced on Friday that it would work with China to seek broad support at the United Nations against American efforts to alter the accord.
Senior American officials insist that the Clinton administration is not aiming to nullify the 1972 pact. Rather, the goal is to update the accord so the United States can defend itself against new missile threats while avoiding a new arms race with Russia and China, the paper said.
The United States believes nations like North Korea and Iran are developing the means to manufacture ballistic missiles.
Russian officials insist that Washington has exaggerated the missile threat and say that weakening the treaty would be a reckless move.
"We are open to cooperation," Grigory V. Berdennikof, a senior arms control specialist at Russia's Foreign Ministry, told the Times. "But if our cooperation means
changing the ABM treaty, our answer is 'thanks but no thanks.'
A senior administration official told The Washington Post, "We don't see this as anything against Russia, and we're willing to look at a whole range of cooperative measures that would address the same rogue threat we're concerned about."
According to Russian and American officials familiar with the talks, the first phase of the American antimissile system is to be completed by 2005. It involves building a powerful new radar in Alaska and deploying up to 100 antimissile interceptors there. American early warning radars in Greenland and Britain and in the United States also would be upgraded.
The second phase is to be completed by 2010, and could involve construction of a similar radar at Grand Forks, N.D., and deployment of 100 interceptors there.
Hurricane Irene moves to shore, threatens storm-weary Carolinas
The Associated Press
WILMINGTON, N.C. — Hurricane Irene drenched southeastern North Carolina with nearly half a foot of rain Sunday as it churned up the coast, unleashing more flooding in a region still saturated by record floodwaters from Hurricane Flood.
A flurry of beach town evacuations preceded the storm, North Carolina's third hurricane in two months. Torrential rains in front of Irene's core swamped dozens of roads, and National Guard troops were called out to sandbag against rising flood waters.

The National Hurricane Center in Miami said there was a chance Irene and its 75 mph winds might skirt the North Carolina coast without coming ashore. "It's too close to call," meteorologist Bill Frederick said.
a tornado spawned by the hurricane touched down near Elizabeth City in northeastern North
Carolina around 7 p.m. Authorities said it had downed power lines and trees, and may have damaged some mobile homes in the area. No injuries were reported.
The greatest concern was rain, not wind, and the eastern coastal plain, inundated by Hurricane Floyd just four weeks ago, was especially vulnerable to more flooding.
Up to 5 1/2 inches had fallen in parts of eastern North Carolina, with several more inches possible, the National Weather Service said.
State public safety secretary Richard Moore said the worst flooding was expected in the Fayetteville area and along the Cape Fear River, expected to crest 20 feet above flood stage later this week.
No deaths had been reported in association with the storm in North Carolina by Sunday night.
A flash flood warning was issued for a 100-mile-by-50 mile swath of eastern North Carolina straddling Interstate 95 between Fayetteville and Rocky Mount. Gale-force winds were measured at the coast, and a tornado was reported by radar over Jacksonville on Sunday morning.
Irene initially was expected to come ashore near the South Carolina line Sunday night, but then it picked up speed and tacked to the northeast.

Pakistani military head unveils ruling council
General plans to pull troops off border, return to civilian rule
The Associated Press
ISLAMABAD) Pakistan—The head of Pakistan's new military regime announced yesterday a unilateral reduction of troops on the Indian border, the establishment of a military-technocrat ruling council and an eventual return to civilian rule.
Gen. Pervaiz Musharraf announced the formation of a sixmember National Security Council of army officers and experts in legal, foreign and national affairs to govern the country. The council would be assisted by a think tank of experts.
The speech was Musharrafa's first public appearance since he went on national television to announce the ouster of the civilian government Oct. 12.
Musharraf said the constitution was not scrapped — only temporarily suspended. He gave no indication of when civilian rule would be restored but said the armed forces had no intention to stay in charge longer than necessary.
Musharraf said he would welcome a resumption of result-oriented talks with nuclear rival India, which has fought three wars with Pakistan since both countries won their independence from Britain in 1947.
But Musharraf made it clear that Pakistan will continue to support Kashmiri militants with moral, political and diplomatic backing. The militants are seeking independence from India in Kashmir, the country's only Muslim-majority state.
The announcement of a thinning of troops on the Indian border was unexpected. Musharraf said it was intended as a gesture to rebuild confidence with New Delhi.
"I take this opportunity to announce a unilateral military de-escalation on our international borders with India and initiate the return of all our forces moved to the borders in the recent past," Musharraf said.
India reacted cautiously to the announcement, saying the proposed pullback was not from the volatile cease-fire line in Kashmir, where tensions are the highest.
"They say they will pull back from the international border," said Brajesh Mishra, India's national security adviser. "Tension was not on the international border."
Chechen president wants negotiations with Russia
The Associated Press
GROZNY, Russia— Russian artillery and warplanes pressed their attacks around Chechnya's capital yesterday, while the Chechen president called for urgent negotiations to end the fighting.
The Russian commander in Chechnya, Col. Gen. Viktor Kazantsev, said yesterday his forces had taken a strategic ridge about 21 miles northwest of Grozny, on the south side of the Terek River that marks the northern third of Chechnya.
Also yesterday, Chechen President Aslan Maskhadov called for talks, despite earlier Kremlin refusals. "I am for negotiations, because I am a president and people are being killed," he said at a news conference.
But, he said of the Russians,
"Let them shoot again. I am sure
we will win."
Russian forces' slow push toward Grozny has raised fears that the army could be heading into a repeat of the 1994-96 war, where Chechen guerrillas devastated Russian formations in street-fighting in the capital. The war ended with Russian forces withdrawing and Chechnya winning effective independence although technically remaining part of Russia.
Russia launched the new offensive against Chechnya after Islamic militants invaded neighboring Dagestan in August and September, aiming to set up an Islamic state in the Casmuscas.
Yesterday, Russian tanks and artillery also were positioned on a hill just outside Grozny, having moved into position a day earlier.
Although Russian troops reportedly clashed with Chechen fighters north of the Terek yesterday, the north of Chechnya appeared under strong Russian control. Kazantsev said the army had completed the first stage of its strategy for wiping out the Islamic militants.
*Universal since 1993*
What Russia plans for the second stage is not clear, but both sides appeared to be preparing for heavy fighting.

THE ROUGH FIELD OF A BOMBING TARGET

STORY BY SHEA MAYBERRY PHOTOS BY SHELBY SMITH
SURROUNDED BY 5-FOOT-HIGH WALLS OF STACKED WOOD, RYAN PAGET, SCOTT CITY SENIOR, GRABBED WOOD SCRAPS A YARD LONG OUT OF THE PILE AND READIED HIMSELF FOR THE BLASTERING HEAT Radiating OUT OF THE KILN.
"Ready, open, stoke, close," said Adam Welch, Northern Arizona University senior, as Paget continued to feed wood into the fire.
This was the drill every five minutes for a group of ceramics students Wednesday, Oct. 6 as they fired the 24-foot student-built anagama kiln for the first time. For 40 hours students manned the kiln on West Campus behind the University Press building, as the fire consumed 4 tons of wood, and the temperature in the kiln climbed to 2.400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Inside, the earthenware art baked.
Construction of the kiln began in spring 1998 in a class taught by Joe Zeller, professor of design. The class explored how different kilns were made.
The wood-fired anagama kiln is part of a 600-year-old Asian method of firing ceramics.
This firing was a cooperative effort between KU ceramics students and students from Northern Arizona University who have experience with anagama firing.
"It is critical for students to know how things are fired," Zeller said. "It allows them to reach their aesthetic goals."
Chris Obert, Toppenish, Wash. graduate student, designed the kiln and has been a driving force throughout the process. David Vertacnik, associate professor of design, and Zeller have directed the building of the kiln and assisted with the development of the design.
Several students put this theory into practice, designing and building the kiln, not for a grade, but because of their passions for ceramics.
The KU kiln is unique because it was built with recycled materials. Students constructed the kiln using 5,000 salvaged bricks from an old boiler on campus. When Oberran out of bricks, he made his own from leftovers in the ceramics workshops.
Zeller said only about 50 anagama kilns existed in the United States. The one closest to the University is at the University of Iowa.
The kiln's outer layer of 5 1/2-inch bricks, made of waste clay and sawdust, creates an insulating layer around the kiln.
"Ready, open, stoke, close," Welch said.
As Paget and Welch dropped handfuls of wood into side ports at the rear of the kiln, Brian Harper, Northern Arizona senior, pulled on his hooded sweatshirt. He put on his stocking cap, pulled it down tight over his forehead and put on two thick insulated gloves over his hands.
Harper grabbed three pieces of a split walnut stump and opened the door to the main fire box in front of the kiln.
He threw up his forearm, shielding his face from the heat as it threatened unprotected skin. The inside of the kiln was glowing a bright orange. The wood scraps exploded into flames. Flames
Black smoke billowed from the chimney. Lured by the chimney's pull, flames lunged out the top and skirted around the side port doors toward the rear of the kiln. Ash hung in the air.
engulfed the pottery, swirling around and between each piece. Harper closed the door and took off the uniform.
"The process is what is so engaging," Paget said. "You know exactly why your work looks the way it does. We are hoping for a wide array of surfaces to the work."
Wood firing creates a natural ash glaze as wood ash falls on the pottery and melts on the surface. Earth tone colors such as mustard and burnt siemna are characteristic of this type of firing. Flame patterns are obvious on the surface of each piece. High-temperature firing gives the finish a three-dimensional look.
Two hundred pieces of pottery were included in the firing. Pieces included large jars, pots, flat platters, bowls, cups and decorative pieces. Some cracked and fell over, some exploded, some stuck to neighboring pieces — all a part of the normal firing process.
All the fuel used in the initial firing was scrap wood donated from manufacturers in Kansas and Ohio. The team fed the fire anything that would burn, including teeth, hearts, stars and cows — all wooden, of course. These figures were carved remnants from a decorative trim manufacturer in Perry.
The position of the pottery in the kiln also affected the finished product. Obert tumble-stacked the pieces, putting them on top of one another using only nonstick clay between the pieces, instead of the shelving that is traditionally used. The process increased the speed of the flame as it moved and created a turbulent flame pattern. This creates varied pieces and dramatic glazing effects.
The speed of the flame and the heat of the fire dramatically can alter the look of the fired ware.
The kiln will give students in the ceramics program more options for finishing their work. With the anagama kiln, the firing technique is as much a part of the artistic process as creating the pieces, Obert said.
The anagama firing process results in a less traditional aesthetic product. The outcome is not as easily controlled as other methods of firing. Zeller said artists had to be involved in the process of the anagama firing for a successful outcome.
Obert said he thought that the kiln design was successful, but that it was not an exact science. Each firing will yield different results. A level of uncertainty characterizes anagama firings.
But the unpredictability is part of the romance of the style. Each handmade anagama kiln has its own personality, each piece of pottery tells its own story of an encounter with the flame.

Jayhawks lose momentum and game
Kansas leads Aggies through first half, falls to curse of big plays
by Mike Miller sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
COLLEGE STATION. Texas — For the second straight year, Kansas gave
plays that made him a star. The 34-17 loss to Texas A&M was both frustrating and encouraging for Coach Terry Allen, who saw his team take a 10-0 lead midway through the second quarter, then watched the Aggies score 14 points in the final two minutes of the first half and take control of the game.
Texas A&M scored 52 seconds later and had a seven point lead at halftime.
Texas A&M all it could handle. But for the second straight week it was the big plays that did in the Jayhawks.
An Aggie touchdown with 1:52 left in the first half was followed by a Mitch Bowles fumble on the ensuing kickoff.
"It's kind of hard when you get to the point when you're encouraged when you lose by 17 points," Allen said.
The game was a blowout loss like the other four Kansas losses this year, but with a twist. The early 10-point lead was because the Jayhawks came out and asserted themselves both offensively and defensively. After a scoreless first quarter, the 'Hawks held advantages in time of possession and
total yards. They didn't punt until their fourth possession, and by that time, it was 10-3.
Then the big plays hit.
Then the big blips in Maryland, Colorado, San Diego State and Kansas State games, big gains hurt Kansas by disrupting its rhythm and seizing the momentum.
The two late-first quarter touchdowns were followed by a 78-yard touchdown from Texas A&M quarterback Randy

Of the many skits during Late Night with Roy Williams, the skits' "commercial breaks" were a take-off of the MasterCard commercials that state, "Some things are priceless. For everything else, there's MasterCard."
By Melinda Weaver
Some things are priceless — like touching Jeff Boschee's shavenly head, slapping heads with preseason All-American Lynn Pride and, for Kansas fans, realizing that it is finally time for basketball season.
Though Late Night had several skits mimicking popular movies and musical acts of 1999, the MasterCard commercials were a favorite among fans.
"There were a lot of skits, so it was really hard to pick a favorite, but I really like the MasterCard commercial with Jeff Boschee," said Jayne Hagdon, Lee's Summit, Mo., sophomore. "I thought it was so cute when the little kids came out and rubbed his head. I am a big Boschee fan."

Midnight scrimmage pits freshmen-laden Blue against Crimson

Kansas sportswrite
Last week, Kansas coach Roy Williams said that the men's basketball team would experiment with new offensive styles this season. If Friday night's Late Night with Roy Williams was any indication of what style that might be, Kansas fans better be prepared to watch their Jayhawks run.
When the clock struck midnight Saturday morning, the 1999-2000 basketball season officially began. The Jayhawks split their team into two seven-man teams, the Crimson and the Blue, and played a 30-minute scrimmage before a capacity crowd at Allen Fieldhouse.

But perhaps the most impressive and touching moment of the entire night was just minutes before the scrimmage. The spotlight shined to the south wall of
The tribute received a standing ovation from fans and coaches, and was followed by a brief moment of silence in Chamberlain's honor.
Once play began, the Blue jumped out to a quick 8-0 lead with several fastbreak layups. The Crimson team settled down before the end of the first half, but the Blue team led 33-20 and won the game 54-31.

Jayhawks have the heart, talent to beat Missouri
The Kansas football team sent a message Saturday morning.
As the University's students still were in bed with hangovers from post-Late Night partying, Terry Allen's team was about to do something remarkable.
It not only beat the spread against No. 13 Texas A&M, but it led the Aggies 10-0 in the second quarter. Even though the Jayhawks fell behind 24-10 in the third quarter, they had a chance to tie the game late after Dylan Smith threw to tight end Sean McDermott on a 28-foot touchdown pass.
And while most students spent the weekend talking about freshman Drew Gooden's dunks at Late Night, how excited they were to see him, Kirk Hinrich and Nick Collison take the winter and how we're going to the Final Four, I was thinking about something else — watching the Memorial Stadium goal posts go down this Saturday after a big win against Missouri.

Chris Fickett sports editor sports@kansan.com
Not only did the Kansas football team tell its fair-weather fans Saturday that football season wasn't over, it also sent Missouri a message that it must give a better performance than it did against Iowa State in order to beat the Jayhawks.
With running backs David Winbush and Mitch Bowles healthy, Kansas football showed its doubters that Terry Allen is not the problem. Winbush's and Bowles' running opened up the passing game. And with Smith protected in the Kansas backfield, he arguably had his best passing performance, throwing only a handful of incomplitions in the first half.
There were problems, though. In case you were among those suffering from post-Late Night depression, Kansas lost the game, 34-17.
Had a questionable roughing the-kicker penalty not been called late in the first half, Kansas could have gone into the locker room at halftime tied or better.
in Kansas' running game had had enough gas in the tank for the fourth quarter, the Jayhawks could have used play-action passing more effectively. Instead, A&M's "wrecking crew" defense adjusted well, shut down Bowles and Winbush, and Smith was running for his life in the Kansas backfield.
If Quincy Roe, Muhammad Abdul-Rahim and rest of the secondary had found a way to stop getting beaten deep, Chris Taylor's 78-yard touchdown reception and 41-yard catch, which set up the Aggies' second touchdown, might not have happened.
nighther have happier. But Terry Allen is a good coach, and if he has the right personnel available, he knows how to use it. His game plan Saturday almost gave Kansas a victory against a top-ranked opponent.
The Tigers are not nationally ranked. Plus, we hate them.
we have Allen and the Jayhawks will look at the film this week and see a lot of what they did right and also what they did wrong. The team will hit the weight room, scrimmage and run laps.
And come 4 p.m. Saturday, Kansas will have held off the Tigers in the fourth quarter, and Kansas fans will be storming the goal posts.
After all, it will be the closest thing to a bowl game that Jayhawk fans will see this year.

Weekend skid brings soccer team's winning streak to close

What would you like to be doing five years from now? With whom? What kind of environment? How much will you be making? How will you spend your free time? Visualize your future now but keep it to yourself. It's still in the formulation phase.

Throwing, receiving duo upsets Michigan
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue had the right combination to snap Michigan State's perfect season.
Chris Daniels was on the receiving end of the combination, setting Big Ten records for receptions and receiving yardage as No. 20 Purdue upset No. 5 Michigan State 52-28 Saturday to knock the Spartans from the undefeated list.
Daniels had 21 catches for 301 yards and three touchdowns. That helped Drew Brees finish with a season-high 509 yards and five touchdowns.

Friends, former coaches remember Chamberlain
LOS ANGELES — Wilt Chamberlain was remembered Saturday more for his curiosity, intellect and quiet generosity than his unparalleled abilities on the basketball court.
Laughter punctuated the 1 1/2-hour memorial service at City of Angels Church of Religious Science,
where about 800 people celebrated the 7-foot-1. Hall of Famer.
Chamberlain died Tuesday of apparent heart failure. He was 63. His body was cremated.
"In Wilt's life, there were no sad songs. He lived his to the fullest," said Meadowlark Lemon, a Chamberlin teammate on the Harlem Globetrotters.
Others attending included Bill Russell, whose Boston Celtic teams twice beat Chamberlain's teams in the NBA finals.

Smith's quick feet, passes keys to Jayhawk offense

It took 1:54 for the Aguiles to score those 21 points, and Kansas was down 24-10.
McCown to wide receiver Chris Taylor two plays into the second half.
"Points are momentum breakers." Allen said.

the second straight week Kansas surrendered more than 500 yards of offense, while the offense couldn't get past the 300-vard mark.
It was the same mix of bad luck and blown coverage that doomed the Jayhawks last week against Kansas State. Big plays — particularly big passing plays — were what hurt most. Completions of 78, 44 and 41 yards were part of McCounn's career passing day. He was the main reason the Jayhawks were down at halftime, completing 14 of 16
Kansas settled down after the half played tighter man-to-man coverage and tried to take away McCown's passing alleys. It worked — safety Carl Nesmith intercepted two passes sitting back in zone coverage — but the defense couldn't stop the run.
The offense had its share of problems too. No Kansas running back had more than 40 yards, and no receiver had more than 30 yards or five catches.
Quarterback Deylen Smith was what kept the Jayhawks going. They scored
once in the second half after Nesmith's interception, mostly because Smith was able to elude Aggie defenders long enough to find tight end Sean McDermott for a 26-yard touchdown pass.
Smith completed 17 of 29 passes for 141 yards, but his quick feet were his biggest asset.
He wasn't sacked until late in the fourth quarter, and he was more comfortable running the ball than he had been earlier.

'Hawks fall in second straight loss
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com Kansas sportwriter
The Jayhawks are headed in the wrong direction.
The Kansas volleyball team lost its second straight match on Friday night, getting swept by No. 16 Texas A&M, 3-0, prior to Late Night with Roy Williams in Allen Fieldhouse.
The Jayhawks, 13-6 overall and 4-
4 in the Big 12 Conference, dropped
game scores of 15-7, 15-11 and 15-7.
winning many of them."
"I think they set the tone early," said Kansas coach Ray Bechard. "They won some long, long rallies. I don't know if that discouraged us. Even though we got an early lead in game one, the rallies were long and exhausting and we weren't
The Jayhawks' lead in game one was 6-3. During that opening stretch, middle blocker Amanda Reves collected three kills and outside hitters Mary Beth Albrecht and Nancy Bell
had one apiece. Then Texas A&M middle blocker Amber Woolsey picked up her second kill of the game and forced a sideout. The Aggies
VOLLEYBALL
went on a 12-1 run and finished off the Jahvahs in game one, 15-7.
Kansas found itself down 9-1 in game two, but managed to battle back behind two blocks from Revens, a kill from setter Molly LareMere and three Texas A&M attack errors, and trimmed the lead to 11-7. But Texas
A&M scored four of the next eight points and took the game, 15-11.
The Jayhawks put up a fight in a 15-7 loss in game three but couldn't hold off the powerful Aggie attack of middle blocker Lauri Leahy, and outside hitters Celi Howes and Summer Strickland. The trio combined for 31 kills in the match.
The Jahyawks were led by outside hitter Amy Mynt, who converted 30 attack opportunities into 12 kills. Revenes' 10 kills moved her past Moira Donovan into third place on the all-time Kansas kills list with 1,084.
One factor that may have contributed to the Jahayhawk's loss was that they were playing their second match in three days. On Wednesday, Kansas lost 3-1 to No. 13 Kansas State in Manhattan,
which snapped a three-match winning streak for the Jayhawks.
"That's the schedule, so you have to deal with it." Bechard said. "I don't think we were all that fresh, but you need to give credit to A&M."
Now, after the defeat to the Aggies, Kansas has fallen into a tie for sixth place in the Big 12 with Baylor.
"They just came out really strong, and we didn't do what we needed to do," Myatt said. "But we can come out to practice with our heads down about this. We've got another tough match coming up."
that match is on the road against No. 20 Colorado on Wednesday in Boulder, Colo. The Buffaloes are 11-6 overall and 5-3 in the Big 12 after sweeping Missouri on Saturday.

First practice of season excites Coach Williams

Carey, and freshmen Kirk Hinrich, Nick Collison and Drew Gooden.
Gooden and Gregory led the Blue in scoring with 12 points each and in rebounding with nine apiece.
Gooden demonstrated his athletic ability by passing, dribbling and dunking, and continuously hustled after loose balls and rebounds in his Kansas debut.
"Drew's got a great knack for the game," said junior center Eric Chenowith. "He played pretty well tonight."
Despite the informality of the scrimage, Chenowith said that he was impressed by the tempo.
Seniors Lester Earl, Terry Nooner and Ashante Johnson, juniors Chenwith and Luke Axtell, and sophomores Jeff Bosche and Marlon London made up the Crimson team.
Chenowith led the Crimson team in scoring and rebounding, scoring seven points and grabbing nine rebounds.
"It was a lot quicker pace," he said. "We got up and down the

Also providing a spark for the Crimson team was the play of Johnson. He was injured during last year's Late Night and never fully recovered during the season. In 20 minutes, Johnson scored six points and grabbed five rebounds, while showing the athletic ability that Williams has talked about, as well as showing that his knee might be recovered.

I had a chance to go out and prove myself." Johnson said. "Last year, I had no chance. I was limping and walked out frustrated, but this year I'm walking out healthy."
Late Night was just the first practice of many for this year's team, but the season is now officially here and Williams is officially excited.
"I'm really anxious to get started," he said. "We've got a great group to work with."

Luke (Axtell) use the force as Darth Vader, played by Ashante Johnson, to convince him to come back to the Texas side, and Austin Powers, in which Jeff Carey and Mini-Me, played by Boschee, tried to rid Allen Fieldhouse of all of its annoying fans.
However, Austin Powers, played by Nick Bradford, saved the day.

Tall Guys and a Drummer, Chenowith played the guitar, Carey played bass and Collison sang as the group performed their rendition of Limp Biskit's "Faith."
On ESPN's 1999 sports highlights, three Kansas yell leaders came on the court as Oklahoma basketball players. As the crowd chanted, "Shorts on backward," Kris Nightengale realized that, indeed, his shorts were on backward and called time out to strip down and turn his shorts around in the huddle.
Hinrich read a top-ten list before introducing the musical act. Three
Late Night talk also turned to the Final Four as the women's basketball team was introduced at the beginning of the evening.
"I'm going to make this short and simple," said Lynn Pride, as the three seniors stepped out to give a speech. "After this season, we'd like to bring back two Final Four trophies, one from the women and one from the men."
And, of course, the evening would not have been complete without Roy Williams and Marian Washington showing their skills on the dance floor, cheered on by their players and 16,300 fans.

Cyclones on their way to first winning season in last 10 years
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Iowa State may have reached a turning point, while Missouri hit the point of no return.
The Cyclones (4,2, 1-2 Big 12) won their first conference game on the road in eight seasons, and they're two victories shy of their first winning season in 10 years after a 24-21 victory against Missouri Saturday night.
"We talk to the kids all the time about leaving your legacy," coach Dan McCarney said. "Along the way you get a chance to stop a lot of negative streaks and start some new, positive ones.
"That's what I think these kids are starting to take pride in."
Iowa State hasn't had a winning season since going 6-5 in 1989, and McCarney is 13-37 in his fifth year. The last time the school won four games in a season was in 1992, and it hasn't won four games this early since 1986.
The Cyclones also overcame an early 14-0 deficit as quarterback Sage Rosenefls scored the goahead touchdown on a 2-yard bootleg in the third quarter, and Mike McKnight added a 43-yard field goal. Rosenefls said he
learned not to worry about the score from the Kansas State game, in which Iowa State blew a 28-7 halftime lead and lost 35-28.
"It stunned us, but we learned against Kansas State when a team gets up, there's still time," Rosenfels said.
Missouri (3-3, 0-3) has lost two straight to teams it figured it could handle, including an overtime loss at Colorado last week. Missouri also lost half of its quarterback tandem when Kirk Farmer broke his right leg in the second quarter.
The Tigers have an uphill battle in their quest for a third straight bowl bid, with Texas A&M and Kansas State looming in the last five weeks.
"We know we're 0-3 in the conference, and that makes everybody on this team sick," nose tackle Jeff Marriott said. "We have to get after it."
Jim Dougherty, the other half of the quarterback tandem, said he played in shock after Farmer's injury. He was 22-for-34 for 303 yards but produced only seven points in the second half.
"I tried to move on; we still had a game to play." Dougherty said. "But I definitely was thinking

Mets make a miracle in 15th inning
The Associated Press
NEW YORK—After a 15-inning classic, the New York Mets are halfway to their most stunning comeback.
Robin Ventura's grand slamturned single drove home the winning run and gave the New York Mets a classic 4-3 victory against the Atlanta Braves in Game 5 of the NL championship series, the longest postseason contest in baseball history.

Finally, about 10 minutes later, they announced the official ruling: Ventura was credited with a run-scoring single.
even the official scorer knew what the final margin was: 4-3, 6-3 or 7-3.
But the margin didn't matter. The Mets forced a Game 6 in Atlanta on Tuesday night.
Shawon Dunston led off the home half of the 15th with a single to center against 22-year-old rookie
Kevin McGlinchey, who then walked pinch-hitter Matt Franco.
With the Shea Stadium crowd drowning out the sound of jets飞行 overhead, Ventura, who was 1-for-18 in the series, drove a 1-1 pitch over the left-field wall for an apparent grand slam.
He didn't get a chance to circle the bases, but it didn't matter. A run-scoring single — the official score on the play — was good enough to cap an incredible day.
Yankees pummel Martinez-less Red Sox
The Associated Press
BOSTON — Taking advantage of Buckner's curse as much as the Bambino, the New York Yankees moved within one victory of their third trip to the World Series in four seasons.
Pitcher Bret Saberhagen's bungled throw allowed the go-ahead run to score in the fourth innings, and the Boston Red Sox committed three
other errors before Ricky Ledee's ninth-inning grand slam as New York won 9-2 lost.

With New York clinging to a 3-2 lead in the eighth, a second-base umpire blew a key call for the second time in the best-of-7 series.
After a close call at first base went against the Red Sox opening the ninth, the game was stopped after manager Jimy Williams was ejected, and fans threw bottles and other objects on the field.

Intramural football teams battle for tournament titles
Yesterday afternoon, October
Madness officially ended.
of work," he said. "We practiced a lot, and really worked on our offense."
The championship games of the intramural flag football tournament were played yesterday, with all six divisions finishing up their seasons. The day started with the men's Greek division semifinals and ended with the men's greek finals at 5 p.m.
Esau said that in the championship game, turnovers were key to the game's outcome.
The action on the field wasn't exactly filled with offensive struggles. There were three shutouts, and only one team scored more than 17 points.
"Our defense really turned it up," he said. "We're happy to get the points for the hill."
The tournament lasted about two weeks, and involved about 100 teams. Brad Bolyard, Olathe junior and intramural supervisor, said that overall the tournament worked out well for a competition its size.
"With the exception of a few forfeits at the beginning, the tournament ran really smoothly," he said. "Today was a good last day of competition."
Matt Esau, Kiowa junior and DU's quarterback, said that the title meant a lot to his chapter because of the hill points given to the winner.
Mess With Wyandotte 6-0. In the greek associate division, the Phi Delt Pledges from Phi Delta Theta beat Kappa Sigma #2 9-0. The women's championship was won by Delta Delta Delta, who beat Alpha Chi Omega 7-6, and the men's residence hall crown was taken by the Aardvark, who stifled the Amini Aravinds 13-0. The men's open bracket was conquered by TFC, who lambasted the Tomcats 29-0, and the men's Greek title was taken by DU, Delta Upsilon's team, who edged out Sigma Chi 17-10.

Local bars reward sober drivers with free drinks
(USPS 650-640)
By Chris Borniger
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Almost every bar in Lawrence is offering its patrons the opportunity to get blasted as long as they're not drinking.
Campus BLAST (Building Local Alternatives for Safe Transportation) is a program to encourage designated driving and use of Saferide in Lawrence. A joint effort of KU on Wheels and the Kansas Department of Transportation, the program has expanded to include 40 bars and restaurants in Lawrence since its inception almost one year ago.
As part of the program, designated drivers can get free non-alcoholic beverages. Bars also give away cups, coasters, matchbooks and key chains with Saferide's phone number and the "Hand 'em Over to Someone Sober" slogan on them. The Kansas Department of Transportation paid for the items.
Jodi Niehoff, Campus BLAST project coordinator, said the program's growth was encouraging.
Jerome Dubin, Olathe freshman, said the offer of free drinks was definitely an incentive to be a designated driver.
"With 40 bars, we're getting close to having just about every one," she said. "It's in the baby stage, but we've had a lot of success business-wise from the Lawrence community."
Niehoff said the project is a pilot program for KDOT, and could expand to include other college towns in Kansas.
"I'm paying my way through school, so money's kind of tight," he said. "It's better to be able to go out and be safe than to not be able to go out at all."
The minimal cost of participating makes the program attractive to bar owners, she said.
"For the amount of effort they have to put

Holly Krebs, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels, said the project was part of an effort to make students more aware of Saferide and other driving alternatives.
"The bars have the benefit of having access to these students, and we're using that access to promote this," she said.
Krebs said KU on Wheels would distribute information about the program to living organizations, including residence halls, scholarship halls, fraternities and sororites.
Rob Farha, owner of the Wagon Wheel Cafe.
507 W. 14th St., said his bar had been distributing free non-alcoholic beverages to designated drivers for years.
"It's just been standard for us," he said. "Bar owners need to show a little responsibility on their parts."

FACTS ABOUT SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES:
- 55 million Americans have STDs, and more than 15 million new infections are reported each year.
The most common STD on college campuses is HPV, a genital-wart causing virus that is prevalent in about 8 percent of KU students.
■ HPV and some other STDs often have no symptoms.
- One in five Americans contracts an STD
Love and liquor are a bad mix
STDs are spread by genital-genital contact, oral-genital contact and hand-genital contact.
- Women are more susceptible to STDs than men because the viruses and bacteria that cause STDs are able to thrive in a woman's genital tissue and internal reproductive tract.
Watkins presentation will warn of results
By Amber Steuer writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A pair of beer goggles can get students more than a bad date. Watkins Memorial Health Center officials will warn students tonight at its Focus on Health presentation, "Sex Under the Influence."
Those mixing alcohol with sexual contact also run the risk of having sexually transmitted diseases or unwanted pregnancies.
"I've been told, 'I had sex with someone when I was drunk that I would never even have lunch with,'" said Julie Francis, Watkins health educator. "Alcohol's a social lubricant, and people need to be aware of that when they're drinking, and they lose control over how much they're drinking. They get past a point where they need to be, they're going to make some bad decisions."
Watkins will address the topic of sex and alcohol tonight from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Visitor Center Auditorium. The presentation is a part of alcohol awareness week.
Francis will speak at the presentation, as well as Henry Buck, Watkins coordinator of gynecology, who will speak about STDs, their effects and prevention. Kathy Guth,
nurse practitioner and a registered sexual assault nurse examiner, will speak on acquaintance and date rape.
watkins staffers often see cases of sexually transmitted diseases, Buck said. The most common STDs on college campuses include chlamydia, herpes, human papillomavirus, which causes genital warts, and molluscum cotagiosum, a member of the pox virus group.
"We see so many college students who end up with a sexually transmitted disease," Francis said. "We see so many who end up pregnant unintentionally. And if you trace those back the majority of those dealt with alcohol."
Regents face equity dispute in pay gap of relations job
By Clay McCusinion
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Already embroiled in a gender discrimination controversy, the Kansas Board of Regents added fuel to the fire Friday afternoon when Mike Matson, press secretary for Gov. Bill Graves, announced he would become the organization's new external affairs director.
In his newly-created position, Matson will lobby the state legislature on behalf of the Regents and work with the press — for a $70,000 salary. Barbaria Conant, the board's outgoing communications director, made only $44,000, leading to speculation of pay inequity.
Christine Crenshaw, the Regents' associate director of fiscal affairs, had earlier filed a complaint with the Kansas Human Rights commission alleging gender discrimination by the Regents.
"It has raised questions on the surface," said Barbara Ballard, Kansas state representative and assistant vice chancellor of student affairs. "The perception to people is that maybe there isn't as much equity between men and women in salary."
Kim Wilcox, executive director for the Regents, said Matson's job was completely different from Conant's.
"That's really not the position we're talking about at all," he said.
Legislative lobbying was previously part of the fiscal affairs department of the Regents, Wilcox said. With the addition of 31 community colleges and technical schools to the board's budget responsibilities, the department no longer has the time for government relations — a burden that now falls to Matson.
"He's the perfect person to help us do this," Wilcox said. "We've taken the governmental relations and recast them as external relations."
wilcox said much of the responsibilities of the communications director would be spread out to different departments.
Matson seemed unaware of this Monday morning.
He said it was his impression that the job would consist of both press relations and governmental relations.
"It's the most difficult decision I've ever made in my professional life," Matson said. "It's going to be tough."
Matson will leave his post Oct. 29, after five years as a representative for Graves'. He'll start work for the Regents Nov. 1, making $18,000 more than he did with Graves.
he refused to comment on the equity questions.
"I am in no position to comment on what is going on over there," Matson said, adding that it was his impression that most problems at the office predated
SUA to set homecoming float standards
See GENDER on page 3A
By Emily Hughey
Three weeks have passed since the Homecoming parade, but the controversy surrounding the removal of the Stephenson Hall Float of Doom is back in the spotlight. Student Union Activities and the KU chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union are now working together to set specific float standards.
Kansan staff writer
The Float of Doom, which was removed from the parade by members of SUA, who cited the float creators' poor taste, enraged the KU ACLU, which called the removal a First Amendment rights violation.
Buddy Lloyd, media director of the KU ACLU, originally called for an alternate forum of expression for the Float of Doom, but after discussing the matter with Eddie Lorenzo of the
SUA
THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
He said he and Sue Buckley, SUA advisor, had been working together to revise the rules for next year's parade. Buckley said "poor taste" would be more clearly defined and a panel of student judges would determine whether the float was appropriate beforehand.
"We're not opposing views," Lloyd said. "We're working together."
Kansas City chapter of the ACLU, he instead decided to present some ideas to SUA.
"It makes us really happy because it gave us demonstrable benefits for the student body," Lloyd said of the recent agreement. "It was a win-win situation for the ACLU, the student
body and SUA."
Isley Unruh, creator of the Float of Doom, said he appreciated the changes being made but said he would still try to shock the campus with next year's float. However, he stressed that he built the float to make people laugh, not as a political statement.
"We'll watch 'Animal House' a few more times, and we probably won't go that far, but we'll think of something good," said Unruh, Sedgwick sophomore. "I'll have to start thinking now. It's going to be original but at the same time in poor taste."
Buckley said most floats would probably be accepted as long as they followed the rules. She said that she was revising the guidelines to allow for more freedom of expression, but if anyone tried to sneak a blatantly offensive float in the parade again, she would either remove it or modify it.
Buddy Lloyd Media director of KU ACLU
"It makes us really happy because it gave us demonstrable benefits for the student body. It was a win-win situation for the ACLU, the student body and SUA."
"I'm writing it so it's more within First Amendment guidelines," Buckley said. "We want students to have free expression, but we'll have to make sure it doesn't violate obscenity laws or offend people. It is our event, so we can control time, place and matter, but I don't know how much."

ROTC Rangers take first in Quad State competition
Victory revisited the KU Army ROTC Rangers last weekend at Camp Dodge in Des Moines, Iowa.
In the annual Quad State Ranger Challenge competition, the nine-member University of Kansas team upset its 11 opponents to take first place for the second year in a row.
Dave Stanley, Ranger team commander, said he thought the team won because of its consistency.
"The reason we won wasn't because we dominated the events," he said. "It's because we were consistent across the board."
Despite one member's stress fracture, another's fever and another's tendinitis, the team competed in eight events Friday through Sunday, finishing the weekend with 2,172 points — 36 points ahead of the second place team.
The Ranger team members were Stanley, Aaron Boal, John McAdoo, Preston Robinson, Steve Schneider, Casey Slusher, Aaron Snyder, Jason Stopper, and Rick Vittitow.

Legendary KC ward boss portrayed in presentation
The one of the most powerful men in Kansas City during the 1920s and '30s is coming to life again tonight at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St
A one-man performance by William S. Worley titled Toni Pendergast: Big City Boss is scheduled for 7:30 in the library's auditorium.
Pendergast never held elected office, but he was considered the most powerful man in Kansas City during Prohibition and the Great Depression. Infamous for bootlegging and his corrupt political machine, Pendergast was also admired for his dedication to immigrants and the poor.
Worley, professor of regional history at the University of Missouri at Kansas City, will play Pendergast, Harry Truman and Isaac McCoy with the Kansas Humanities Council's History Alive program.
Sandra Wiechert, community relations coordinator for the library, said that Pendergast was a complex historical figure and that the library had many books on the man and the era in which he lived.

Johnson County growslaraer than Kansas City
Based on the U.S. Census Bureau's estimates between 1996 and 1998, The Kansas City Star projected the populations of the city and the Kansas county for each month of this year. The newspaper reported Sunday that the county overtook Kansas City, Mo., in August, and that as of Oct. 1, Johnson County had 443,163 residents to the city's 441,769.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — In the latest development in a steady shift of Kansas City's population, its largest suburban area, Johnson County, Kan., has now overtaken it.
This switch, which mirrors what has happened in several regions across the country, could affect the competition between the two governments for some federal grants, according to local officials. But that wouldn't happen until after the 2000 census.
For now, the population shift represents is a blow to Kansas City's pride — a situation worsened by the tradition of antagonism wrought by the state line.
"That's incredible," said Kansas City Councilman Kelvin Simmons. "I'm a very competitive person, and I'd look to compete to get back in front of Johnson County."
"It's probably significant," said Ed Ford, another council member. "It shows people have chosen to live in Johnson County rather than Kansas City. I certainly don't want to hear that."
Kansas City Mayor Kay Barnes and several Johnson County leaders played down the population race, even characterizing the comparison as immaterial because one is a city and one is a county.
Possible Ali comeback turns out to be a joke
NEW YORK—Call it a punch line from Muhammad Ali.

"Sorry, folks, not this time." Ali said

Ali: Wrote in Newsweek that he planned to box again
The three-time champion wrote in a first-person remembrance in Newsweek that he planned to train, lose 35 pounds and fight two or three contenders at Madison Square Garden.
"I'll dance for 15 rounds, and whip em. I haven't forgotten. I'll be weighing in at 210 pounds. I'll just say, 'I am returned. Get the contract'," All wrote

Former prisoners say Pinochet tortured them
MADRID, Spain—Former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet was accused yesterday of beating prisoners who had been tied up with barbed wire during the crackdown that followed his 1973 coup.
Two former aides to President Salvador Allende, who was overthrown and killed in the coup, told reporters in Madrid that Pinochet had known of, and participated in, torture sessions under his regime.
Manuel Cortes Iurtierea and Pablo Cepeda Camillieri spoke after presenting evidence to Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzon, who issued the order for Pinochet's arrest in London last October.
Cortes and Cepeda gave Garzon the names of 35 people who they said were dead or went missing right after the coup. They described Pinochet entering a room where prisoners, including Cepeda, were detained.
Pinochett kicked around some of the prisoners who were tied with barbed wire and said they should all be shot, Cepeda claimed.
Cortes said they were making the charges in Spain because they are convinced Pinochet cannot be judged fairly in Chile.

Lied Center wins cultural top spot in arts magazine
By Emily Hughey

Kansas staff writer
Despite Kansas' quaint heartland reputation abroad, the University of Kansas' Lied Center has received a top rank from an international publication.
International Arts Manager, a globally-distributed monthly industry magazine based in England, listed the Lied Center as one of the top 10 U.S. University Presenters in its September issue.

Resident of the Lied Center, said that she didn't know how the rankings were determined but was happy nevertheless.
"Sometimes when you re w world, you wonder if someone out there notices the things that are going on in the place that you love," she said. "Then you find out that they do, and it's great."
Davis said that since the listing was published, she had received more information about and invitations to international festivals than usual. She said she thought the increase in Lied Center interest was a direct result of the ranking.
"It will increase the number of options we have," Davis said. "There are a lot of possibilities throughout Australia, Africa and Asia that people will make a special effort to come and see."
Courtney Carper, Omaha, Neb., junior, said she enjoyed attending shows at the center because they were diverse and entertaining.

In International Arts Manager, Susan Farr, executive director of the Association of Performing Arts Presenters, is quoted as saying that the community of American university presenters "...has accepted a high level of responsibility for the arts in America. It sees itself as having a role in the preservation of culture and promotion of new work — that is why it has been so important."
Davis said she was happy about the honor, but didn't know exactly how to react.
"I was really proud and pleased, and have been trying to figure out a way to tell people without bragging," Davis said, laughing.

Speaker, audience teach about dating dos, don'ts
Interactive quiz gives students new outlook
By Amber Stuever writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
"My love for you is like diarrhea. I just can't hold it in."
Dave Coleman, the self-proclaimed dating doctor, read the line off an audience's suggestion of the worst pickups lines as the Lied Center audience responded with roars of laughter last night.
"What's your fantasy date?" Coleman asked the audience.
Coleman spoke to a predominately female audience of about 1,500 last night. His speech titled "Creative Dating" was sponsored by the Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Association.
"One where I don't have to pay. If the girl showed up, that would be a plus too," he read off another card.
"People stood up and volunteered information," said Allegra DeSalvo, the Panhellenic vice-president of educational programming. "He said beforehand that you'd be surprised at how rowdy people get, and
Coleman answered timeless dating questions such as why guys don't call back, why we repeat bad relationships, what all men and women want more than anything else, and why women go to the bathroom in packs. He solicited fantasy dates and pickup lines on index cards that audience members filled out prior to the speech.
they did. I think everyone had a really good time."
The audience seemed to enjoy the speech, but it may have been Coleman who was having the most fun.
"Earlier this year I spoke at the University of Nebraska, and I also spoke at Missouri, and I thought those were two of the coolest big-state schools I had ever been to," he said early in his speech. "Your campus kicks their butts, and so far you're a lot sicker than they are."
After reading a pickup line having to do with Apollo 13 and 1/2 and a trip to Uranus, Coleman laughed and said, "That puts you over the top as the sickest of all time."
Coleman also let the audience participate in a quiz that revealed how people see themselves, how they think others see them, what their sex life is like and how they would react to the end of a long-term relationship.
Late in the speech.
Coleman asked the men in the audience sit on their hands and be quiet as the women yelled out advice they wanted men to know. The response, "Don't push our head down" got a standing ovation.
The exercise was repeated for the men who offered advice such as, "If you're interested, act interested and don't play games" and "Hand jobs do nothing for us."
Some audience members said the activity was their favorite part of the 90 minute speech.
Coleman, who has spoken to a million college students in his career, had an impact on some audience members.
"It's hard to get people to open up and tell you things like that," said Tony Grafals, Salina sophomore.
"I learned a lot about women and why they act the way they do," said Brett Deuth, Chicago freshman. "I'm leaving here with a new perspective on how I'm going to go about dating women."
Coleman said he hoped to return to his new favorite audience at the University of Kansas. In the meantime, however, students can get more advice at his Web site, datingdoctor.com or from his new book out in February titled "Date Smart."

Car and dog theft ends in recovery, reunion

Jackson, a 5-year-old Labrador retriever, is recovering after being dognapped Friday night when his owner's car was stolen.
"It took him a little while to stop being nervous, but he's fine now," said Tracy Mitzner, Denver graduate student and Jackson's owner.

Mitnzer said she was putting air in her Toyota 4-Runner's tires at 8 p.m. Friday at Presto, 609 W. Ninth St., when it was stolen. She had left her
Mitnzer said she was on the passen ger side of the car when she heard her engine start, and then her car zoomed off.
Sgt. Rick Nickell of the Lawrence Police Department said police spotted the 4-Runner about one hour later on West Sixth Street. When the vehicle was located, he said, Jackson was missing.
Mitzner and a friend began frantically searching for the dog.
"I don't know if he threw Jackson out or what." Mitzner said. "There was an open back window — he could have yelled at him to jump out."
"I wasn't even caring about the car at that point," she said. "It could
have been a child in that car."
Mitzner said when she found Jackson, he was a wreck.
Finally, she got a call that Jackson was seen near Lawrence Memorial Hospital, 325 Maine St.—at least three blocks from where police located the 4-Runner.
Yesterday Mitzner said Jackson had no sign of injury, but she planned to take him to the vet for a check-up. Mitzner said there were no damages to her tan 1998 4-Runner.
"He was just laying in the road in shock," she said. "His tongue was hanging out on the sidewalk."
Nickell said the suspect, a 36-year-old Lawrence man, was uncooperative and received minor injuries when he was arrested.
The suspect will face charges of theft and obstruction. But no kidnapping charges will be filed — Kansas law only qualifies humans as victims.

Spread of STDs aided by drunken sex
Continued from page 1A
The most common misperception is that these STDs are spread through sexual intercourse, Buck said. Herpes, molluscum and other STDs are actually spread by skin contact, not by fluids.
Condoms are often forgotten when alcohol is mixed with sex, but they are useless in prevention of some STDs
“Condoms are not adequate protection,” Buck said. “Unfortunately, whether intended or not, that's the message some people have gotten is that if you use a condom, everything's going to be okay. Well, that's not true.”
STDs are prevented in the same way you avoid getting the flu or any other viral infection — by avoiding contact.
"STDs are really very easy to pre
vent if you avoid contact," Buck said. "Part of the equation of that is that it's easier said than done."
This is especially true when alcohol is involved, impairing one's judgment. When an STD occurs, that poor judgment can result in lesions, pain, infertility, and even death.
"It really doesn't make any more sense to have sex under the influence of alcohol than it does to drive drunk under the influence of alcohol." Buck said. "But, again, people's emotions enter into it and it's probably much easier to avoid driving than it is to avoid sex if you've lost your ability to use good judgment."
Jogger Guth, who will talk about rape, said it is much more likely when alcohol and drugs are involved.
Watkins officials hope "Sex Under the Influence" will prevent
"Students need to be aware that what they do today could totally affect what happens to them in the future," Francis said. "Everybody kind of lives for the here and now, but you need to open your mind to realize that you can make decisions to keep these from happening to you." Francis said.

Service learning is wave of future; University should avoid undertow
The future is now. It's time for students to get involved and for administrators to follow through on the chancellor's 2001 Initiative by instating service learning at the University of Kansas.
As part of the initiative, the task force for "Building a Premier Learning Community," included the objective of service learning in its suggestions to improve the University learning environment: "adhere a balance among teaching, research and service."
Student Senate is considering a resolution that encourages students, faculty and administration to establish service learning. Service learning allows students to be involved in the community, enhancing the educational experience and the community simultaneously.
Student Senate's resolution concerning applied learning warrants immediate passage
For example, political science students could register low-income voters as part of their course work. Service learning would not be a requirement, but a supplement that would give students hands-on experience while reaching out to the community.
Senate's resolution reaffirms the chancellor's initiative and encourages the University to move forward and students to get involved through four goals.
The first goal is to include students in the University's long-term public serv
ice plans, which could include forming a student task force to address student interest and student involvement needed. The second goal states that service learning should be instituted through the formation of a University public service and community outreach center, which would coordinate public service activities.
The third goal is for students to have the opportunity to engage in service learning in their fields of study. The fourth goal is to provide incentives for professors engaged in service learning.
All of Senate's goals are consistent with the University's goals. Senate should pass this resolution, and the administration should take advantage of the consensus and involve students in implementing service learning.

Housing's swastika decision correct
The most recent free speech crusade undertaken by the University of Kansas chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union involved what has been called "hate speech."
last month, Jimmy Adra, a Wichita sophomore living in McCollum Hall, wrote the message in question on the public doodle board in McCollum's eight floor lobby. It read, "When the revolution comes you'll be spared." This quotation was embellished on both sides with swastikas. He said he wrote the message to test the limits of free expression at the University.
Adra stood accused of harassment, and faced anything from verbal reprimand to expulsion from the University. Predictably, KU ACLU came to Adra's defense. This time, it was right. The
Unpopular, even racist, speech needs to be safeguarded
Department of Student Housing made the correct decision in dropping the charges against Adra. There is no place for thought police in a university that prides itself on reason, tolerance and freedom of inquiry.
It remains to be proven that anyone living in McCollum Hall felt harassed by the phrase on the public doodle board. It also must be noted that the doodle board is public and in a lobby. The situation would have been different if Adra had deliberately chosen to write this message on a doodle board belonging to a Jewish student. The message itself also was quite vague. What revolution? Templin Revolution, perhaps? And what won't students be spared from?
Certainly, Adra's choice of methods to test his freedom of expression left something to be desired. A swastika, which carries with it such pernicious reminders of racism and death, was probably not the wisest option. However, it is precisely this sort of unpopular speech that needs the most protection, lest we all become subject to the thought police.
The way to deal with unpopular — even racist — sentiments is not to drive them underground where they can fester and become even more poisonous. The light of day must be shone on them so they are be shown for what they are. Reason, logic and the First Amendment protections of free speech demand no less.

Students can help curb corruption in politics
Perspective
Politics is dirty. It's filled with corruption, scandals, secret agreements and criminal activities. Some say that the Mafia had its hands in Kennedy's presidency; others say the same about Chinese and Russian crime rings in Clinton's.
PENN STATE COLLEGE
The University of Kansas is not immune.
Elizabeth* peacock columnist opinion of kansas.com
Recent attempts have been made to change current campaigning policies. Some people want to get rid of coalition spending limits, broaden the appeals process for fines from violations and limit the referendums students can vote on. "Sure," the average student says "Why not? I don't vote anyway." Well, now's the time, John Q. Student because if you don't take conrol of your Student Senate the Panhellenic Maffa will.
Now, I know that senate elections are a semester away, but you've got to keep an eye on the potential candidates long before the ballots are handed out. If you don't keep your eyes peeled, you will blind.
Even our current vice president Dede Siebel didn't come out of that election with clean hands. Corruption was so bad that after the elections committee certified Sullivan's and Walden's victories (as well as Seibel's), the senate elections commissioner, Chad Perlov, resigned.
Senate elections always have been full of cam paign violations, but some coalitions — or should I say one coalition — always seem to have to shell out more money for fines after elections than others.
In the 1997 elections, newly elected student body president Scott Sullivan and vice president Mike Walden, of the largely Greek coalition Unite, garnered fines of more than $1,000 for overspending, unreported advising services and five other violations. Other Unite candidates also accumulated fines for violations such as perennial illegal distribution of campaign flyers at apartment complexes and fraudulent voting.
were mired out and put forth demands. But have these punishments worked? No. The same people break the rules year after year, and because only one in eight students vote, they win year after year. Not to mention the rumors of coercion in Greek houses to vote along coalition lines — grecks tend to have higher voter turnouts, probably because 60 percent of Unite, my mistake, Campus Cause, oops again, 60 percent of YOU belonged to a fraternity or a sorority. Only a little more than 20 percent of KU students are Greek.
much. Both coalitions, Delta Force and Campus Cause (Unite resurrected), were involved in distributing campaign fliers within view of the polling site on Daisy Hill. But once they were warned and given a deadline to remove the posters, only Delta Force complied. Both coalitions also had newly elected senators lose their seats for not attending mandatory candidate workshops.
The 1998 elections were a little cleaner, but not
And now these same election violators are trying to make it easier to break the rules. By removing the spending limits placed on the coalitions, the richer coalition can hand out more buttons, more fliers and more freebiees without having to pay a fine after they've bought the votes they needed to win.
Last year's election was filled with allegations and name-calling. The same old rules were broken by both sides, although YOU (Unite resurrected once again; same people, different name) still would have the most severe infractions. Fines were meted out and paid just like before.
They also want to make it easier to appeal the fines placed on corrupt candidates. Not only will they get a little slap on the wrist when they also break the rules, but with the appeals process, they may not even have to pay the fines at all. Claim ignorance and save yourself $50. Why not?
It may not seem like a big deal to you, John Q. Student, but it should. These people are going to be the career politicians on your ballots in 15 or 20 years. If we don't curb corruption here and now, politics always will be tainted by it. Elections are not inherently dirty, neither are the candidates. But as long as an atmosphere of evil is accepted and reinforced at the polls year after year, nothing will change.

University should unify on-campus alcohol policy
A after reading the Kansan and talking to people on campus, there seems to be some confusion about what the problem is with serving alcohol in Memorial Stadium's new skyboxes. The skyboxes are the most prominent example of the University's inconsistent policies toward alcohol.
Last year, the University began a two-tiered alcohol program: to investigate problems associated with drinking on campus, and then to institute policies that would solve these problems. The investigations are complete, and the policies have been

instituted, but the University has yet to articulate effectively what these problems are. It has identified problems, to be sure, but the problems spring from policies the University wants to implement, not the other way around. One usually tailors solutions to fit the problems, rather than claiming problems to fit the desired solutions.
PARKER
On some occasions, the University has claimed that the safety of students was its primary concern. It applied for—and received—a grant
The University, in newspaper articles, also has claimed that safety was not the primary concern. Rather, the University's focus on alcohol particularly targets illegal drinking (Lawrence Journal World, June 19, 1998). Punishing and reforming underage drinkers, it seems, is what the
that provides money to purchase advertisements to promote safe drinking. The safest place for people to drink is at home (no driving, surrounded by friends who will take care of them, and no strangers who will take advantage of them). Yet the University sends out letters to all residents of student housing reminding them of a zero-tolerance drinking policy. Students caught with alcohol will be punished. The University is forcing students who drink to do so in the least safe places possible — at bars or large parties.
By accepting without qualification the belief that rich alumni cannot have a good time without alcohol, it can no longer insist that we have fun without alcohol. We think that the University lost whatever moral ascendancy it may have held when it allowed alcohol in the skyboxes.
The University also has begun programs to promote the idea that students can party and have fun without alcohol. The University is telling us that the kind of adults it wants us to be (rich alumni who donate lots of money) cannot watch a football game without alcohol. If it wished to have a consistent policy, the University should not have allowed alcohol in the skyboxes; it would have better made its case that alcohol was not essential to a good time. It should have insisted that, just as students must sign a lease saying they will not drink in their residence hall rooms, the skybox renters also must sign a lease saying they will not drink on campus.
University wants to do with its new policies. This is in opposition to all of the grant-funded advertisements. Because of a recent change in the Buckley Amendment, the University now can inform parents of any student who violates alcohol policies. The University has said it might be making those calls.
The people who have been most vocal against the skyboxes agree that the absurd amount of binge drinking is a major problem at the University and at all universities nationally. We, of course, deplore the actions that often accompany binge-drinking, such as date rape and drunk driving, and we agree that if binge drinking drastically was reduced, these crimes would be reduced.
As a Student Senate resolution said this summer, "It is not the alcohol we desire, it is the hypocrisy we deplore." We do not want alcohol served at the stadium or in Mrs. E's. We simply think that if the University wants to reduce binge-drinking, a sentiment we share, then it must craft a policy that will accomplish this.

Column provided succinct views on religious ideas
Feedback
Your column (Jennifer Barlow, True Knowledge...) on October 13th was the best statement regarding religion I have ever heard a college student make. You succinctly gave your view without actually putting down any other.
I grew up in a very strict Christian household, and although I deeply respect and love my parents, I am not at the spiritual level they are. I too, could be classified as agnostic. I have a strong inclination to profess Christianity at some times, simply because it would make relationships with my entire family a lot less strained. Also, it's what I was raised to believe. Tell a little kid something over and over and whether it's true or not, they will begin to believe it. But I am not a Christian. I, like you, do not like the rejecting attitudes many Christians seem to adopt. I am dating a non-Christian girl, and because of her religious status, my parents, although well meaning, have shunned her. But even if all Christians behaved like the lovable,
Any religion will require a good deal of faith and trust that what you believe is right. Complete proof simply doesn't exist in my opinion.
Godly Grandma stereotype, I am still not convinced in the absolute truth of the Bible.
In any case, thank you very much for verbalizing so eloquently what are some very hard-to-convey feelings. I am sending your article to my parents as a representation of my own beliefs, but written in a way I could never so clearly communicate.

University will not punish student who drew swastika
By Michael Terry
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Jimmy Adra, the Wichita sophomore who drew two swastikas on a doodle board located in the eighth floor lobby of McCollum Hall, was found not responsible for harassment.
Adra said he was not given any specific reason for the decision.
Adra received a letter from student housing on Friday notifying him that he would not face disciplinary actions by the department for his actions on Sept. 30.
Adra was represented at a student housing department conduct hearing last Tuesday by the American Civil Liberties Union.
J. D. Jenkins, ACLU advocacy chair and Shawnee junior, said he was glad nothing was going to happen.
"We don't condone the swastika at all, but we support his right to express himself," Jenkins said. "He has the right to put whatever he wants on the board."
Adra also said he was happy with the student housing decision.
"Everyone should have the right to the freedom of expression, especially when it is done in a public forum like a message board that invites public comment." Adra said. "The last time I looked this was a free country, and we have the freedom of expression. We all have to learn to be tolerant of one another, and suppression is not the way to rid the world of hate groups."
The swastikas that were drawn on Sept. 30 were actually reversed and did not constitute a traditional swastika. Adra said.
Adra said he was not aware the swastikas were reversed when he drew them.
Rick Levy, professor of law, said that even though the symbols might not have been swastikas in a visual sense, in court, the question would be what a rational person would perceive the drawings to be.
Levy said he did not think Adra's actions in this case constituted harassment.
Adra would not say whether he would draw swastikas on a message board again, but he said he believed he had the right to do so if he so chose.
"Everyone has a right to their own opinion," Adra said. "It's wrong for student housing or anyone else to try to censor their beliefs."

Graduate schools to attend KU fair
Organizers hope to educate, inform new applicants
By Erin McHugh Special to the Kansan
Even though the economy is humming and graduate school enrollment is waning, some students still choose to continue their education rather than find a career right away.
For those students, the Graduate and Professional School Fair from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today at the Kansas Union Ballroom may help.
"The University has not held a graduate school fair in several years, and we saw the need," said Ann Hartley, associate director of University Career and Employment Services. "Schools have an interest to come to KU because of the reputation of KU students."
She said this year's fair started with a planning committee late last spring.
The fair will have booths with schools ranging from Iowa State University to Hawaii Pacific University. In addition to the booths, three seminars will teach students how to increase their chances for acceptance and success in business and professional degree programs; how to prepare for graduate admission exams; and how to finance a graduate education.
Mary Ann Rasnak, director of the Student Development Center, said her seminar on preparing for graduate admissions exams would review math and vocabulary and also address test anxiety.
"Students always need a little review on the basics," she said. "They often see the test as a big final."
Rasnak also will talk about the effects of technology on admissions tests. She said the GRE was offered on computers every day but only offered in the pencil and paper version four to six years a year. Students taking the computerized version have the option of viewing the results immediately and can take the test at their conveni-

sons.
Jamie McPherson, Leawood senior, said she would attend graduate school rather than starting a professional career straight out of college because she was not ready for the real world.
Students may choose to attend graduate school for several reasons.
"A large part of my reasoning to attend grad school is because I'm graduating early, and I'm not mature enough to go to the real world," McPherson said.
Jill Wilder, Lenexa junior, has planned to attend graduate school since she began her undergraduate studies three years ago.
"I want to go to graduate school because I want to be in demand," she said. "The more in demand I am the better opportunities I will have when I am ready to enter the job market."

Lawrence speaker uses laughter to motivate

Andy Sherman says if you can laugh at yourself, you can get through anything.
The former University of Kansas student, actor and professional bull rider said that was how he pulled himself through recovering from several traumatic events in his life, including a movie set accident and the discovery that his 6-year-old son was autistic.
Sherman, a Lawrence resident, has a syndicated radio show that broadcasts on 14 stations across the country.
Sherman said he enjoyed his work and seeing the difference he made in people.
Line 42-year-old has spoken in 16 countries in more than 2,000 seminars. This week will be his third time speaking in Lawrence. He will give five presentations between Tuesday and Thursday at the Ramada Inn, 2222 W. 6th St. Individual tickets still are available for $59.

During the filming of his role in Gunsmoke, a special effect backfired, and he was seriously injured by an explosion. He said it took 12 surgeries and at least two years to heal.
"If you can't laugh at yourself when you get blown up, when else can you?" he said. "I should've won an Emmy for that one."
Sherman said the film footage when he was injured was so realistic, it was kept in the movie.
He said he realized he was not making money in either of his previous careers, so he decided to put his speaking education from Fort Hays State University to work. He began speaking about time management and personal growth, and has since expanded to become a motivational speaker. He said he was glad he made the career change.

Lawrence and German city celebrate their sisterhood
By Derek Prater
writer@kansan.com
kansas staff writer
A delegation from Eutin, Germany, is touring Lawrence this week to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the sister city relationship between the two communities.
Heinrich Raethjien, a member of the 11-person delegation, said this was his first visit to Lawrence and that the trip had been excellent so far.
The delegation arrived Friday and has been entertained at various functions including a luncheon at the Centennial Room in the Kansas Union yesterday afternoon.
William Keel, professor of Germanic languages and literature and member of Friends of Eutin, said the sister city program provided residents of both cities with opportunities.
"It gives people from both cities the opportunity to visit another
country, culture and language and know that they are already welcome." Keel said.
Both Keel and Raethjen said the program centered on the influence it would have on young people.
"Exchange programs of this sort are very important because young people meet each other and work together at school and live together in each others' homes," Raethjen said.
That kind of interaction can create an understanding that lasts a lifetime, he said.
Keel said the people involved in the program were idealists who thought that such a relationship could promote international understanding.
KU students have been studying abroad at the Summer Language Institute in Eutin since 1966, and high school exchange programs between the two cities have existed since 1980. Keel said.
1988, and the relationship with Eutin formally was adopted in October 1989.
Eutin, population 17,000, is in northern Germany east of Hamburg.
Audrey Roberts, Leawood sophomore, studied in Eutin last summer and said she enjoyed the experience.
The City of Lawrence established the Sister City Advisory Board in
"I loved it," Roberts said. "I would describe the town as quaint and real friendly."
Roberts said that a Lawrence delegation visited Eutin while she was studying there and that students and Lawrence residents joined for a boat trip on a nearby lake.
In addition to students and community leaders, a variety of people including bank interns and musicians have traveled between Lawrence and Eutin, Keel said.
Lawrence also has a sister city relationship with Hiratsuka, Japan.

Student art show could benefit homeless shelter in Lawrence
Plans are under way for a student art show that would benefit a yearround Salvation Army homeless shelter in Lawrence.
By Erinn R. Barbom
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Josh Boots, Plano, Texas, sophmore, initiated the project because he wanted to display student artwork and have the show's proceeds benefit a charity.
Although the show won't happen until next spring, about 20 students
— many of them scholarship hall residents — already are planning fundraisers and generating ideas. But Boots said the show would not be limited to scholarship hall students.
"The support behind it is amazing." he said. "I wanted to do to last year, but I didn't think of it until last semester. I'm trying to generate interest in the scholarship halls and get a strong following here."
Boots said he also would like to ask
Last Tuesday, about 20 students attended a preliminary meeting to outline the format of the show and decide how to acquire funding.
greek organizations and the Association of University Residence Halls to work on the project.
Boots said one idea was to sell baked goods, clothing and other items people no longer needed.
He said the students at the meeting decided they wanted the show to be more than just a gallery gathering. Instead, they wanted the show to consist of entertainment, food and children's activities, similar to the Plaza Art Show in Kansas City, Mo.
Susan Tusa, Omaha, Neb., sophmore, attended the first planning meeting. She said she didn't think there would be a problem finding students with artwork to display. Many other options for showing student artwork had restrictions, she said.
For example, the Basic Studies Scholarship Art Show sponsored by the art and design department is
open only to art students who have completed four basic art classes. Tusa said the spring arts week at Hashinger Hall last semester only was displayed for two hours, and not many people attended.
Most of the details — such as the show's location, the sale of the art and other activities — have not been decided. But it is certain, Boots said, that the proceeds would go toward a new homeless shelter to be built by the Salvation Army in Lawrence.
Phil McKnight, professor of teaching and leadership and member of the Salvation Army's advisory board, said the board still was deciding on a location for the new shelter, which is scheduled to be built within the next three years.
He said the board was considering either renovating Salvation Army offices at 946 New Hampshire St. or constructing a new site.
The next planning meeting for the art show will be Oct. 26.
Man charged with kidnapping of area girl
-Edited by Jennifer Roush
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The man suspected of abducting a 10-year-old girl was clean-shaven and using a wheelchair yesterday during his initial court appearance in the case.
Keith D. Nelson, 24, was wheeled into a federal courtroom in Kansas City, Kan., for a brief hearing to hear a kidnapping charge read against him in the death of Pamela Butler.
Nelson, who suffered leg and knee injuries last week as authorities searched for him, responded "Yes, sir," three times after U.S. Magistrate David Waxse read the charge and asked him if he understood.
The hearing was held under tight security, with armed guards accompanying Nelson from the University of Kansas Medical Center to the federal courthouse. Several guards were in the courtroom for the five-minute hearing.
FBI spokesman Jeff Lanza said the security was necessary because of the intense media attention the case
had received. He said, however, that he was unaware of any threats against Nelson.
Nelson currently is charged only with kidnapping Pamela from her home in Kansas City, Kan., on Oct. 12. After an intense search that captured the attention of the Kansas City area, her body was found Friday in Grain Valley, Mo.
The case will be transferred from federal court in Kansas to the Western District of Missouri. A detention hearing is scheduled for Thursday in Missouri.
Because Pamela was abducted in Kansas but found dead in Missouri, federal courts in both states had jurisdiction. Lanza said the case was moved to Missouri after consultation between U.S. Attorney Stephen Hill of Missouri and court officials in Kansas.
Hill will decide when or if to file further charges against Nelson, Lanza said. A federal kidnapping charge can carry the death penalty.
Lanza said it was up to U.S.
Marshals to determine where
Nelson would be held in Missouri, and the location probably would not be made public.
Nelson's mother, Nancy Nelson,
attended the hearing, but was ushered
out of the courtroom and did not say anything. She has called
local media to say that her son is innocent.
No members of Pamela Butler's family were present.
Pamela will be buried tomorrow at 11 a.m. at The CrossRoads Church in Kansas City, Kan., with visitation there from 4 to 8 p.m. today. Burial will be in the Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens, also in Kansas City, Kan.
On Sunday, a special service was held in her memory at the Grain Valley Christian Church, near where Pamela's body was found.
Paul Butler, Pamela's father, was grateful for the support.
"If it hadn't have been for everybody pitching in to help us, and all their prayers and love, I know we couldn't have gotten through this," he said. "In fact, I would have wanted to join her myself."
All's fair in the war of love.

Russia claims U.S. wants arms race
Washington makes proposal to change 25-year-old treaty
The Associated Press
MOSCOW—Russia is warning that the world could be pushed into a new nuclear-arms race because the United States wants to change a key agreement that has helped control nuclear weapons for the past 25 years.
The U.S. proposal has alarmed and outraged Russian political and military leaders, who claim that Washington wants to acquire nuclear invincibility at a time when Russia's nuclear forces are in shambles. Moscow may have to build new atomic weapons to counter what it sees as a major threat, they say.
If Washington persists with its proposal, Russian officials say, it could endanger the whole framework of nuclear agreements on limiting or scrapping nuclear weapons that took decades to construct.
decales to construct.
"All agreements that have been signed or are being prepared, will come under threat — namely, START I, START II and consultations on START III," said Col. Vladimir Yakovlev, commander of Russia's strategic rocket forces.
At the heart of the Russian fears are a U.S. proposal to amend the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty so that both countries could build missile-defense systems to protect themselves against limited nuclear attacks. The bedrock treaty was key to starting arms control pacts during the Cold War.
After denouncing Washington's ABM proposal when it was announced this summer, Moscow was furious
after the U.S. Senate's Oct. 13 rejection of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. The vote made the United States the first nuclear power to reject the 154-nation agreement on ending nuclear weapons testing.
Russia was disillusioned and seriously concerned by the vote, the Foreign Ministry said, calling the Senate's decision part of a trend that indicated the United States was trying to destabilize the foundations of international relations.
Washington says it wants to amend the ABM treaty so that both countries can defend themselves against nuclear attacks by rogue nations such as North Korea. It has tried to allay Moscow's fears by offering to help build a Russian defense system — a proposal Moscow has yet to respond to.
Moscow hates the United States is exaggerating the threat from minor nuclear states. Instead, Russian off-
cials fear, Washington wants to develop an ABM defense that could defeat a major missile attack. This would make Moscow's nuclear arsenal useless and leave Russia vulnerable because it does not have the resources to build a defense system of its own.
Russia may be forced to abandon arm-control pacts to ensure its nuclear forces remain effective, officials say. One option is rebuilding multi-warhead land-based ballistic missiles, which have been banned by arms control deals.
arms control deeds.
"The U.S. approach might destabilize the international situation and call into question all existing arms treaties between the two countries," said Pavel Felgenhauer, a prominent military analyst.
Troops pull away from India
Country says Pakistani move has no significance
The Associated Press
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—Pakistani army troops began pulling back from the Indian border yesterday, almost a week after the military took control of Pakistan's government and four months after a bitter border dispute threatened to erupt into full-fledged war.
Gen. Pervaiz Musharraf, who overthrew the democratically elected government of Nawaz Sharif, said the redeployment was a peaceful gesture toward India. But India responded cooly, saying it had no military significance.
In London, meanwhile, Commonwealth foreign ministers suspended Pakistan from councils of the association of Britain and its former colonies. The decision yesterday by the eight ministers was the first formal step toward suspending Pakistan from Commonwealth membership; under the group's rules, only the heads of state can do that.
The foreign ministers called on the military regime in Islamabad to set without delay a time frame for restoring democracy. Pakistan army spokesman Col. Saulat
Brijesh Mishra, a top security aide to Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, dismissed the withdrawal.
Raza said the withdrawal only was along the 460-mile-long international border, and did not apply to the cease-fire line in Kashmir, a territory split between rival nuclear nations. India and Pakistan have fought two wars because of Kashmir.
"Tension was not on the international border. It was on the Line of Control," he said, referring to the 1972 cease-fire line in Kashmir.
"We shall assess the situation and our deployment on the basis of the overall security situation along the international border as well as the Line of Control,"the Press Trust of India news agency quoted him as saving.
In New Delhi, India's army commander,
Gen. V.P. Malik said the Pakistani pullback
had little military significance and said his
forces would not immediately respond.
Washington welcomed the pullback. U.S. Ambassador William Milam called it a gesture of faith, adding that the coup had not worsened the regional situation.
In his first policy speech since taking control of Pakistan, Musharraf on Sunday said he was creating a six-member National Security Council of army soldiers and experts to govern the country.

But Clinton gave every indication that her candidacy is a go.
"I'll be doing interviews after the first of the year, when I become a candidate," she told reporters just a few minutes after saying at the forum that she would begin doing one-onone interviews with the news media.
While both the First lady and Giuliani have begun raising money for the Senate race, neither has formally declared their candidacies. The Clintons have purchased a five-bedroom home in suburban Westchester County that will allow Clinton to establish residency in New York.
Despite some protests, Hitler's Berlin bunker to be paved for road
BERLIN - Construction workers have dug up the bunker where Adolf Hitler spent his final days, exposing the concrete site for a last time before it will be paved over again with a new road in the heart of Berlin.
The Associated Press
Despite calls from some to preserve the bunker — buried for decades beneath the Berlin Wall's no man's land — the city said Friday it saw no reason to maintain the Fuehrerbunker, where Hitler killed himself on April 30, 1945.
The exact spot of the bunker has been known since 1990. Peter Strieder, the city's top development official, said exposing the steel reinforcements raised no new arguments for overturning a 1994 decision not to preserve the site.
Rusted metal rods protrude from a patch of concrete barely visible through a thin layer of dirt, but not much else can be seen of the 13-foot-tall structure. Workers dug into the roof of the bunker while trying to make sure no unexploded World War II bombs remained in the area.
Since the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the decision to return Germany's government to the former Nazi seat of power, much of central Berlin has been turned into a construction site. The bunker lies next to a spot where several German states are building their offices in the capital.
As World War II wound to a close, and the Soviet Red Army advanced into Berlin, Hitler retreated to the bunker — built deeper than others to allow him to survive stronger bomb blasts.
After World War II, the Soviets, unable to destroy the heavily fortified bunkers, blasted their interior and filled them with sand. The East German army ripped out the main section in 1988 before apartment houses were built around the site.
Germany also has destroyed other sites connected to Hitler, such as a home in southern Germany, for fear they would become shrines for neo-Nazis.
Still, some argue against destroying the relics of Germany's past. The former head of the city's archaeological office said he favored preserving the bunkers to show that Germans aren't afraid to confront the dark side of their history.
The city wants to get rid of its Nazi past, said Dietmar Arnold, author of a book on Berlin's tunnels and bunkers. "This is not the right way with history," he said. "You can understand the history from this place only if you have everything together."

Evolving into a leader in midst of controversy
Board of Education chairwoman faces barrage of criticism
By Chad Bettes
Kansan staff writer
She has appeared on the Today Show, Nightly News with Tom Brokaw, the Jim Lehrer News Hour, CBS Sunday Morning and even a Japanese news program. Her words have been splashed in newspapers around the world. The calls just keep coming in, day and night.
What has Linda Holloway of Shawnee done to deserve such attention?
She serves as the chairwoman of the Kansas State Board of Education at perhaps the most controversial time in its history.

LINDA HOLLOWAY
Holloway, a Georgia native, moved to the Kansas City area in 1969. She was educated at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, where she earned a bachelor's degree in 1971 in elementary education. She continued her education at the University of Kansas, where she received a master's degree in 1980 in learning disabilities.
son in the state's science standards.
"That decision has consumed my life since," Holloway said.
Holloway credits University professors such as the late Floyd Hudson for instilling in her a strong interest in research.
"They emphasized research and not taking things at face value," she said. "They taught me what good

research was. I learned it is not good if it is not repeatable, measurable or objective."
Hudson used a common-sense approach in teaching and had a special compassion for people with special educational needs, which Holloway said influenced her teaching style and career path.
Holloway had an extensive teaching career in Missouri public schools at grade levels from elementary to high school. She said she faced things that both challenged and strengthened her, including the inner city environment and her decision to work with orthopedically disabled and health impaired students.
She said she enjoyed the work much of the time, but Holloway said at one point she had to take a year off to rejuvenate her passion for the job. After returning to the classroom, her efforts led her to staff development and teacher mentoring.
Holloway said Speers, who has since died, accused her of having a stealth agenda including things like book burning. Holloway said Speers' campaign was based on fear tactics and was backed by the Kansas chapter of the National Education Association.
She won the election with about 60 percent of the vote.
*Thanks got a bit rougher in the general election, Holloway said, because a Democrat, Dick Speers, filed to run against her as an independent.
A change in life
"After that race, I thought, 'This is no fun. I'm never doing that again,' she said.
1994 was the year that changed the course of Holloway's future. She caught the political bug and decided to run against an incumbent state representative to ensure that education issues received proper attention. After being soundly defeated, Holloway didn't envision a future run for office.
Then Holloway was approached by party activists in 1996 and asked to consider running for the Board of Education seat that was being vacated by long-time member Kathleen White. From a platform of increasing academic excellence and improving communication between the board and its constituents, Holloway jumped into the race. She received more than 60 percent of the vote in what she described as a fairly quiet primary.
Board member Janet Waugh of Kansas City, a vocal critic of the board's newly adopted science standards, said she was supportive of Holloway being elected chairwoman, even though they disagreed on certain issues.
"But the most important thing is to
Full time on the board
Early in her term, Holloway said, the board began dealing with state standards in many academic areas, which recently had not been updated. Updating the standards involves a lengthy process in which educators and others from around the state sit on committees to draft appropriate standards.
Then four new members were elected to the 10-member board in 1998. Split evenly along certain philosophical lines, the board was confronted with electing a new chairperson. Holloway quickly emerged as a compromise candidate.
Holloway kept her teaching job for a year while she served on the board. She then quit teaching, succumbing to the board's rigorous demands.
"I was surprised at the volume of reading. There is a board packet of 600 to 800 pages a month and new federal regulations to keep up on. There is a lot of bureaucracy," she said.
have a person who is fair and who allows every position to be heard and listened to," Waugh said.
Waugh said she supported Holloway's continued service as chairwoman because she listened to every voice. Her only complaint had to do with Holloway's handling of the science standards issue.
Board member Bill Wagonon of Topeka is more critical in his assessment of Holloway's performance leading the board. He said Holloway's leadership was fine until July, when he said the board completely broke down.
Holloway said the ongoing fallout from the new standards had surprised her.
Richard Whelan, the Ralph Smith professor of child development at the University, disagreed with Wagonon's assessment. He said Holloway had been open, fair and receptive.
"There is a lot of hostility. She has been a source of real frustration. I see her as part of a narrowing process." Wagon said.
"I really am impressed with her dedication to the role of the State Board of Education. She brings a unique perspective because she's been there in the classroom," he said.
Surprising reactions
"I had no idea we would get this knee-jerk reaction from around the world," she said.
She blames members of the media and some in the academic community for misrepresenting what the board has done. She said there had been lies told about her and the board's decision.
"Im tired of the name calling and misinformation because I think it's healthy to talk about the issues," she said. "The arrogance from the science community has been mind boggling."
The constituents ultimately have the final say in the matter, said Holloway, who now is leaning toward a run for re-election to the board next year. If she does run, a heated contest is expected
Holloway credits her husband, Jerry, and supportive friends with helping her endure the criticism. She is quick to note that she has received positive feedback from her constituents.
Hollowie tries to take potential challenges with a grain of salt.
Last week at a board meeting in DeSoto, she was presented with a satirical award that was in the shape of a frog. Later, she said with a smile, "Like the frog, if they are willing to teach evolution, warts and all, I'm fine with it."

A few bad minutes ruin a good game

By Mike Miller
The last two minutes of Saturday's first half has got to still be bothering football coach Terry Allen.
Specifically, the last 144 of the first half, when Texas A&M scored 14 points and snatched the game away from the Jayhawks by transforming a 10-3 Kansas lead into a 17-10 Agieg advantage. Texas A&M held its lead through the second half and won 34-17.
It all started innocently.
It started almost immediately. The Kansas defense forced Texas A&M to punt for the first time during the game, which would have given Kansas excellent field position because the Aggies were at their own 17-yard line.
Kansas called a timeout, and Allen decided to try and block the kick — something that he regrets now.
"If I had to do it all over again, I would not try to do it." Allen said.
Kansas went for the block and then things went south for the 'Hawks.
Carl Nesmith and Matt Jordan both broke through the Aggie line just as punter Shane Lechler shanked the punt.
What happened next depends on which team you cheer for.
At first it was ruled a deflection, then a penalty was called on Jordan for roughing
the kicker. Replays showed both Aggie players and Jayhawks were blocked into Lechler, which is not an infraction. The referee said after the game that he saw Lechler shank the kick, and watched Jordan get blocked into him. If that were true, it would be only a five-yard penalty and Texas &M would have had fourth and eight. But, inexplicably, the call stuck, and Kansas was penalized 15 yards.
That call gave Texas A&M an automatic first down, and four plays later quarterback Randy McCown connected on a 15-yard touchdown pass with 52 seconds remaining in the half.
On the ensuing kickoff, running back Mitch Bowles sown around a tackle and fumbled.
Bowles spurt out and hit his helmet right on the ball," Bowles said of the Aggie defender.
The Aggies recovered the ball at the Kansas 7-yard line and had 45 seconds to score. Their only needed 22.
They only McCown scampered into the end zone on the drive's third play, and the Aggies had their first lead.
It was a dramatic change of events that Kansas never recovered from. Texas A&M would score on the second play of the second half, a 78-yard bomb from McCown to wide receiver Chris Taylor. It capped the two minutes of misery that turned a promising game into a blowout.

Kuk Sool Won-a modern-era martial art
Korean discipline is a compendium of several forms
By Jason Walker sports@kanson.com Kanson Sportwriter
The words martial arts, for most people, invoke ancient Asian disciplines passed down for hundreds of years. Specialties like karate, judo, and others have been practiced and developed for centuries.
Kuk Sool Won, however, is a martial art that is an exception to that rule.
TOTO KARATE
Kuk Sool Won was developed around the end of World War II by In Hyuk Suh. It took more than forty years for him to fully develop his system. Graham Pendreigh, Baldwin City graduate student and president of the Jayhawk Kuk Sool Won club, said that there were lots of various things brought together to form the basis of the martial art.
"There's kicking and punching, grappling, joint locks, choking and weapons," he said. "It's its really a compendium of various Korean martial arts brought together in a unified system."

Fans may find unpainted track at football stadium
Embedded surface similar to the type used in Olympics

The track at Memorial Stadium may seem bare to fans at this weekend's football game.
The track resurfacing process began Oct. 5 and was completed yesterday, but is without the white lines that divide it into lanes.
By Doug Pacey
"The painting will take a period of two to three days," said Darren Cook, director of facilities. "Right now, I don't know when it will be done. The
Herm Wilson, regional vice president for Southwest Recreational Industries, the firm resurfacing and painting the track, said he was not sure when the lines would be painted.
"We'll finish it just as soon as we can," he said. "Our operations in the corporate headquarters in Austin schedule the painting. I'd like to get it done as soon as possible. I doubt it will be done by the weekend, but we would like to because of your football game."
guys are en route, but I don't know where they're at."
"Some of it will be finished by the weekend," he said. "I don't know about all of it, though. A lot of it depends on the weather. Southwest is pretty reliable. We've worked with them before."
Cook said he was not worried about the work getting done, though.
Southwest installed the artificial turf and refurbished the track at Anschutz Sports Pavilion last year.
Cook said the track needed to be resurfaced because some of the asphalt beneath it had deteriorated.
"The first week they were here they spent cutting out the bad parts of the track and repairing the asphalt," Cook said. "The asphalt deteriorates, and causes humps in the track. The second week, they resurfaced the track."
Because of the deteriorated asphalt, the job was difficult. Wilson said.
This track is different from the previous track and other tracks at the University, Cook said. This track is embedded, while the previous track and the one at Anschutz were encapsulated.
"Embedded (surface) have a very sticky polyurethane rubber, and you
put the granules in it when surfacing the track," Cook said. "Then you sweep up the loose granules and put them back in it."
Cook said the difference was that the encapsulated track had a rippled appearance and the embedded track has more cushion and a flatter look.
Wilson said that embedded tracks were used at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles and the 1972 Olympics in Munich, that all the tracks in Europe were embedded tracks, and that most major tracks in the United States also were embedded.
"Embedded tracks have more cushion and a higher resiliency," Wilson said.

Cook said that the cost of resurfacing the track was about $200,000.
Roy Williams faces challenge picking starters
Roy Williams has a recruiting problem. It has nothing to do with whether or not he lands highly touted Californians Travon Bryant and DeShawn Stevenson (both of whom attended Late Night on Friday).
Roy has made a point of saying that this is not a critical recruiting year. Why not?
Berkey
Prater

Because he's done too well coming into this year.
The 'Hawks are talented, experienced and have a lot of depth. Roy's problem will be finding the right mix of talent and experience and using that depth to
his benefit rather than to his detriment.
Chemistry is never a simple equation.
The possibilities are endless when you consider:
Putting all the pieces of the puzzle together isn't going to be easy. This year's team has a bunch of pieces that look like they should fit in one spot, but are probably better off in another.
Luke Axtell, at 6-9, is tall enough to play power forward, but would probably be more effective as a shooting guard or small forward.
- Ashante Johnson is basically the same story. He's got the body to play underneath but the skills to play on the wing.
- Tricky Nick Bradford lives up to the nickname with his versatility. He was outsized last year when he played the power forward spot, but handles the ball well enough to bring it up the court or play on the wing.
- Kenny Gregory, a guard, has the powerful leaping ability and strength to play as an undersized power forward.
The word is that Ashante dominates during pick-up games. The question is whether he can thrive in an offensive set that may have him playing with his back to the basket rather than on the wing, where he is more comfortable. The three spot, where Ashante probably should play, is going to be seriously crowded with Bradford, Gregory and Axtell all sharing time.
The most likely candidates are Ashante Johnson and Kenny Gregory.
Roy could play a lineup with one player taller than 7 feet and all the others shorter than 6-6 (Chenowith with Bradford, Gregory, London and Boschee). Or, he could go with one 6-footer and all the other players at least 6-8 (Boschee with Axtell, Johnson, Earl and Chenowith).
It may sound strange, but both of these line-ups have players in positions that they've played before. It's doubtful that either of these groups will see much time, but they illustrate the motley nature of this team.
Kenny has as much ability as anyone on the team. Last year he struggled somewhat trying to find a consistent role. He's at his best in the open court, but lags in the half-court set because of a sporadic jump shot. Kenny, wants to be a starter, but consistency will be the key.
His campaign for a starting guard spot won't be helped by Marlon London. Marlon's defense, ball-handling and passing will force Roy to give him more minutes. By the time conference play begins, Marlon will be starting.
The bookend point guard and center spots are the only ones with easy answers (Boschee and Chenowith dominating the minutes at both spots). The questions in the middle of the line-up will undoubtedly leave some players frustrated.
My starting five would look like this — Boschee, London, Axtell, Collison and Chenowith.
Roy's starting five for the first game won't. Whatever it does look like, I guarantee it won't stay that way throughout the season. There's just too many talented guys competing for too few minutes.

HOROSCOPES
Your friends are a constant source of amusemen! They could come up with an outrageous scheme. You might be able to pull this off, but only if you're practical. How are you going to pay for it? Find the money first, and you're in.
Aries: Today is an 8.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
Gemini: Today is an 8.
People are full of great ideas, and they're making way too much noise. You may be one of the few who's grounded. Don't let them make complete fools of themselves before you let them know You can be nice about it, too, of course. They'll thank you later.
This is a fabulous day for you. There are only a few minor difficulties. One is financial. Don't let yourself get too extravagant. It simply isn't necessary. Also, keep most of what you know to yourself. Don't brag about your good luck.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
Could you do the work yourself and save a lot of money? Do you even know how to do whatever needs to be done? The plan's not complete yet, so don't make the decision. Consult a friend who's been there and done that before.
Leo: Today is a 5.
Watch, listen and learn. You're not ready to resume your leadership role, at least not in one new situation. You're growing, and sometimes that's uncomfortable. But, once you get this figured out, you'll be able to do more. So relax.
If the stress gets too thick, retreat. A little peace and quiet, perhaps in the company of a good friend, will be good for you. Somebody else can pitch in and help, and they will if you're not there to do it all.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
Libra: Today is an 8.
If you could spend the whole day in romantic conversation with your favorite person, you'd be in heaven. Just the opposite may happen, however, if you talk about money. You may catch some flak about a recent purchase. Admit it if you were wrong.
Sagittarius: Today is an 8.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Do you want to buy something new? A tool, perhaps? You can't quite afford it yet, but don't despair. The more you learn, the more likely it is you'll find a way to cut costs. Keep studying!
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
You should be sharp today. You have a little more patience than usual, too. You're good at seeing the overview, but sometimes you miss the details. Watch out for those but don't lose track of the big picture. Others rely on you for that.
You could be in a good position to get an increased allowance. If that's not likely, it's a way to save money instead. Don't talk too much about what you discover, or jealousies could develop. Keep financial matters to yourself.
P
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
Lion
C
Pisces: Today is a 7.
This should be a good day for you. Long-distance communications should go especially well. You get your idea across clearly, but take care. Don't let a person who doesn't need to know in or the conversation yet.

Major League umpires petition to break union
弓
Lawyers for the umpires' union, dissident umpires and owners will meet tomorrow with the National Labor Relations Board on the petition to get rid of union leader Richie Phillips and form a new union.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Daniel Silverman, the NLRB's New York regional director, originally scheduled a hearing for Oct. 22 before staff lawyer Stephen Appell. But Silverman said yesterday the hearing didn't take place until Oct. 29 at the earliest and perhaps not until Nov. 3 or 4.
"The meeting is to clarify the issues, to see whether or not the parties agree there should be an election and, if so, who should vote," Silverman said by telephone from New York.
Disident umpires filed a petition with the NLRB last week, demanding an election to decertify the current union and form a new one.

to file a petition to decertify their union and form a new one. The dissidents, led by alMUs Joe Brinkman, John Hirschbeck and Dave Phillips — who is not related to the union leader — said they filed signatures of more than 30 per cent of the 93 major league umpires. If an election is held, it will be decided by majority vote.
The disidents, angry with the failed strategy of mass resignations that cost 22 umps their jobs last month, want to replace Phillips, the union head since 1978.
Under federal law, 30 percent of eligible union members are needed
The current union has filed a grievance in an attempt to regain the jobs of the 22, but no date has been set for the start of that hearing, which will be before arbitrator Alan Symonette.

Mike Hernandez alleged in a Superior Court suit filed Oct. 14 that he was fired because De La Hoya "decided to take over his own affairs," attorney Mark Polan said. De La Hoya
was surprised to learn about the suit, according to his lawyers, Bert Fields and Robert Chapman. Both sides had been discussing resolution of claims in informal discussions, they said.

Chapman, who said De La Hoya never signed the contract, said the fighter will now file a counter suit against Hernandez.
The British Boxing Board of Control cited Dodson for "bringing the sport into disrepute." In addition to the ban, he was fired $1,600.
British boxer banned 18 months for biting
LONDON — British boxer Adrian Dodson was banned for 18 months Monday for biting his opponent during a Commonwealth middleweight title fight.
The board ruled that Dodson was guilty of biting Canada's Alain Bonnamire in the 12th and last round of their Oct. 5 bout in London. Dodson said he would consider an appeal.
"We had a fair hearing, but the sentence is very harsh," the 29-year-old Dodson said. "Mike Tyson served only one year after chewing Evander Holfyield's ear. We will think about an appeal."
On July 9, 1997, Tyson's boxing license was revoked by Nevada authorities. He was fined $3 million, with reinstatement possible after a year.
Dodson was five rounds ahead on referee John Keane's scorecard with just 50 seconds of the fight remaining at London's Royal National Hotel when the fighters tangled on the ropes and Bonnamie emerged with bite marks to his midriff. Dodson was immediately disqualified.
At a news conference last week, Dodson apologized but denied biting his opponent. He said his mouthpiece remained in place, and he "pinched" Bonnamie with his mouth.

said that athletes can advance all the way up to a ninth degree black belt and that it took him only three-and-a-half years to advance to his current level, which is a relatively short time.
Lindsey said that to advance to a higher belt, an athlete has to master a certain number of techniques. For each higher belt, the athlete has to demonstrate the skills from each lower level to be considered.
The World Kuk Sool Won tournament was held Oct. 9 in Houston, involving athletes from all around the world, including Europe, Canada
"The white belts learn the foundations," he said. "You have to make sure you are firmly grounded in the rank before you are tested."
"You have to push yourself to develop and work to your full potential.The end result is that your martial art toolbox is bigger and well-equipped,so you have the right tool for the right job."
"About 232 techniques have to be mastered to be a first-degree black belt," he said.

Lindsey also said that the promotion to black belt only can come under the direction of the Grand Master of Kuk Sool Won. Lindsey said performing in front of him can be very nerve-racking.
"It's extremely challenging," he said. "He expects a lot of you. But you know you have to do it if you want to advance."
Pendreigh said that to advance to the next level, white belts had to master a set of 15 techniques and would be tested to see if they had learned them all.
and even Venezuela. Lindsey said that at the world tournament, as could be expected, the competition was pretty steep.
"About 25 percent of the people there were first-degree black belts or higher," he said.
Lindsey entered five events, with the top four athletes placing in each event. He placed in all five, taking first place in the staff event. Pendrigh said that after the Jayhawk athletes were scored in front of the judges, every one of them there placed in some event.
He said that while the self-defense and fitness aspects of the martial art were important, they all led to the
Lindsey said that Kuk Sole Won was a way to get in great physical condition while still learning the principles of self-defense. He said that a goal was to train your body to be a strong, effective martial artist.
"Almost on a daily basis things come to you that seem impossible," he said. "But you see that if you apply yourself, you can master them. It reflects on life."

Commentary
Fenway faithful prove fan-aticism
By Jim Kitke
The Associated Press
BOSTON — They had one more chance to get it right.
No, not the Red Sox.
Their fans.
The ruckus in Fenway Park near the end of Game 4 of the American League playoff was the reason there were almost as many cops on hand Monday night as there were at Woodstock this summer.
with hiss anymore. "Hey, we understand their frustration." Boston center fielder Darren Lewis said. "But when you throw things on the field, you're crossing a line."
The sad part about too many sporting events is how blurred the line has become. Only a few letters, after all, separate "fan" from "fanatic." What's troubling about now, however, is how easily a few miscreants, stoked by alcohol, rage or a pathetic need to be part of the show, can lead entire crowds down the wrong road.
Opposing ballplayers used to talk about New York or Philadelphia — sometimes Cleveland and Chicago — as the tough places to play. There's no need to bother with lists anymore. Every town is tough.
What ever happened to peer pressure? At an NFL game in Philadelphia a few weeks ago, uglish spread through the stands at Veterans Stadium like a virus. While Dallas Cowbirds receiver Michael Irvin lay motionless on the turf after a numbing hit, what began as a few isolated cheers gathered momentum until it crashed over him like a wave. Minutes later, the same sick sentiment rippled through the crowd a second time as a stretcher was rolled onto the field to carry Irvin off.
That episode hardly marked the first time an injury to an opposing player was cheered. Yet, what was so troublesome about the latest display there was how easily the crowd let a few morons hold sway.
Likewise, the number of bottle- and garbage-throwers in the Sunday night crowd at Fenway were just a few dozen among nearly 34,000 people. What was stunning was how quickly those few managed to make the whole place feel unsafe. All they needed was an excuse. And when Red Sox manager Jimmy Williams went out to argue an umpire's blown call — the third to go against Boston this series — they had it.
By now, every baseball fan knows the story of how Red Sox owner Harry Frazee sold Babe Ruth to New York just before the 1920 season to finance a Broadway play. Naturally, some people believe Williams' tirade provided the wick for those 80 years of bottled-up frustration that spilled over after Game 4.
What a crock. Even Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, whose ballpark may be the most notorious garden spot in all of sports, knew better. What happened Sunday night was the same thing that always happens: a few idiots act up; too many other people stand around and do nothing, or worse, get caught up in the moment.
"I hope we don't have to go back to New York to play these guys again." Steinbrenner said. "But if we do, I don't worry the Boston players have anything to be worried about."
Here's hoping that his confidence is not misplaced. But the dangerous few are more inventive, more abusive and more menacing. And unless the rest of us are serious about stopping them, soon they'll be the only ones in attendance.

Giants win 13-10 in waning seconds
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Tkl Barber provided the New York Giants with some revenge for Deion Sanders' heroes against them a year ago.
The Associated Press
Barber returned a punt 85 yards for a touchdown, then took a short pass 56 yards to set up Brad Daluiso's 22-yard game-winning field goal with 1 second left and give the Giants a 13-10 victory against the Dallas Cowboys last night.
Cowboys not hating.
The game was 3-3 until Barber's punt return with 7:50 left in regulation gave the Giants a 10-3 lead. But Emmitt Smith scored on a 2-yard run at the end of a 68-yard, seven-play drive to tie it 10-10.
That led to more heroics by Barber, who had 233 all-
purpose yards in the game.
On a second-and-10 from their own 41, Kent Graham found Barber in the flat, and he eluded Dat Nguyen and raced to the Dallas 3, setting up Daluiso's game-winner.
"I saw I was 60 yards away with 20 seconds
left, and I
I thought I
Just split
the defenders'
like I'm
t o l d .
GIANTS
Barber said. "So instead of running out of bounds that's what I did."
The victory was the first for the Giants (3-3) in seven Monday night meetings with the Cowboys.
It also atoned for a 31-7 thrashing on a Monday night by Dallas (3-2) last season.
"We were embarrassed last year," Barber said. "We wanted to hold down Deion, and I think we did it. Then we made the big plays."
But the Giants got a scare. After Daluiso's game-winning field goal, he squibbed a kick and Dallas began lateraling. They got into the end zone, but it was called back because one of the passes clearly went forward.
"I was at Stanford during the Stanford-Cal fiasco." Giants coach Jim Fassel said, referring to the play on which Cal returned a last-second kickoff for a touchdown through the Stanford band. "We didn't get it deep enough, and I was seeing ghosts for a few seconds."
Daluiso tore a ligament in his right knee on the play and is probably lost for the season.

It will be the Yankees' third trip to the World Series in four years and an opportunity for them to win their 25th title. All of those championships have come since Boston won its last championship in 1918, two years before the Red Sox sold Ruth to New York.

Rather, all that promise the Red Sox held — they rallied from an 0-2 deficit to beat Cleveland in the best-of-5 division series, then roughed up former star Roger Clemens in Game 3 of this series — went to waste.
It was a cold night — 48 degrees at gametime with a 17 mph wind. During batting practice, a few Yankees players in left field tried beat the chill by stepping through a door into the Green Monster itself.
Day of rest well-earned for NL playoff teams
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — At last, the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets rested. Who could blame them?
The teams dragged into Atlanta on Monday, still feeling the aftershocks of one of the greatest post-season games in baseball history.
An National League Championship Series that looked like a blowout just a couple of days ago is now up for grabs. Sure, the Braves have a 3-2 lead and the next two games at home, if needed. But New York is riding a wave of emotion after its 15-inning, 4-3 victory in Game 5 Sunday night.
For the Mets, it was a time to revel in their improbable victory the night before at Shea Stadium. For the Braves, it was a chance to forget.
in Game 5's Sunday night.
"It's a team that obviously doesn't quit," said third baseman Robin Ventura, whose grand slam-single added at least two more days to the Mets season. "It just seems like this team responds to dire situations."
"Nobody is too down, nobody is too up," insisted Kevin Millwood, who will start Game 6 for Atlanta. "I think everybody is just preparing for tomorrow."
Neither team worked out Monday, choosing to rest up for Game 6 Tuesday night at Turner Field.
There were about 6,000 empty
seats for the first two games of the series, but a sellout is expected in Game 6. The Braves sold some 6,000 tickets following Game 5 and had only 3,000 remaining.
It was the longest postseason game by time ever, surpassing the 5-hour, 13-minute marathon between the New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners in Game 2 of a 1995 division series.
Whether the final score was 7-3 or 4-3 didn't matter. New York became only the second team in playoff history to force a Game 6 after losing the first three games of a series. The Braves were the first, mounting a comeback against San
Diego in last year's National League Championship Series and seeming — like the Mets — to have all the momentum on their side following a 7-6 victory in Game 5.
That was the game in which Padres ace Kevin Brown, working in relief, gave up a three-run-homer to Michael Tucker in the eighth and Greg Maddux pitched the ninth for his first career save.

LEAGUE
Two days later, the Braves returned to Turner Field before a raucous crowd and managed just two hits in a 5-0 loss that sent San Diego to the World Series.

Five teams battling for Big 12 South championship

The Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas — Pick a favorite for the Big 12 South. Any favorite.
While the Big 12 North Division is shaping up as the expected battle between No. 3 Nebraska and No. 7 Kansas State, the South is anyone's game.
Every South Division team has at least one loss, and league coaches say no one has emerged as the favorite for a berth in the Big 12 championship game.
"I think this is going to play out to the last drop." Texas Tech coach Spike Dykes said Monday. "There's a ton of football games this week with a lot of importance. It's going to be interesting."
Dykes' Red Raiders are one of three teams currently logammed in first place in the South. Tech (3-1), No. 13 Texas A&M (5-1), which defeated Kansas 34-17 on Saturday, and No. 18 Texas (5-2) are all 2-1 in
BIG 12 CONFERENCE
Just behind them are Oklahoma (3
2, 1, 1) and Oklahoma State (3, 2, 1, 1)
league play.
About the only sure thing is that Baylor (1-5, 0-3) will finish at or near the bottom.
Defending conference champ Texas A&M was the early favorite when the season started. The Aggies' 21-19 loss at Texas Tech three weeks ago opened up the division for everyone else, said Texas coach Mack Brown. The Longhorns play Nebraska this week.
"A&M is the team that everybody thought would win the league. You just look around the South, and it's amazing to me, this league is really, really tough." Brown said.
All of the South leaders have stumbled.
A&M fell at Texas Tech. Texas
turned the ball over six times in losing to Kansas State 35-17. Tech was whipped by Oklahoma State 41-21.
A good division race is good for the conference, said Texas A&M coach R.C. Slocum.
"I thought it would be a real competitive in the South Division, and it is." Slocum said.
"This is one of those weeks where you either take a step forward or you take a big step backwards. In championship races it should be close."
The North Division is anything but close. Nebraska (6-0, 3-0) and Kansas State (6-0, 3-0) have asserted themselves as the teams to beat.
Although Colorado (3-3, 2-1) is only one game back under first-year coach Gary Barnett, the Buffaloes haven't yet shown they're a threat for supremacy in the North.
Nebraska faces a potential stumbling block at Texas.
The Longhorns are 2-0 against
Nebraska since the league expanded in 1996, including a 20-16 victory last year that snapped the Cornhuskers' 47-game home win streak.
Brown isn't counting on recent history for a victory. Second-year coach Frank Solich has the Cornhuskers playing as well as anybody in the country.Brown said.
"Frank's done a tremendous job," Brown said. "They're like the Nebraska teams of old."
EXTRA POINTS: The losing streak has ended at Iowa State. Last week's 24-21 victory against Missouri was their first conference road win since beating Missouri 23-22 back in 1991. At 4-2, the Cyclones have the school's most victories since going 4-7 in 1992. Iowa State hasn't won more than four games since going 6-5 in 1989. And K-State has outscored its opponents 135-3 in the second half this season, allowing only a field goal in the Wildcats' victory against Texas.
Texas to face Nebraska in conference rematch
The Associated Press
AUSTIN — As if Texas and Nebraska need another rivalry.
Saturday's matchup between these budding rivals is one of the Big 12 Conference's premiere games this season, thanks to Texas upsets in the 1996 conference title game and a 20-16 win last year in Nebraska that stopped the Cornhuskers' home winning streak at 47 games.
"It's two of the best programs in the country," said Texas coach Mack Brown.
Now, beating Oklahoma and Texas A&M isn't enough for No. 18 Texas (5-2, 2-1 Big 12).
Third-ranked Nebraska (6-0, 3-0) represents the top competition in the league and the level of consistency the Longhorns strive for, Brown said.
The Cornhuskers' trip to Austin is their first since 1960.
"This is a big game from the standpoint that both schools have great traditions," Brown said.
The teams won't play each other again in the regular season until 2002. Because Texas is in the Big 12 South Division, and Nebraska is the North, the teams aren't scheduled to play annually unless they should meet in the league championship
game
Unlike last year when Nebraska strug-
ged to 9-4 in coach Frank Solich's first
season, the Cornhuskers look as good as
ever, Brown said.
Nebraska's first team defense hasn't surrendered a rushing touchdown this season.
Even so, Brown said Texas couldn't rely solely on the passing of quarterback Major Applewhite to win.
Junior tailback Hodges Mitchell rushed for 204 yards and a touchdown in the Longhorns' 38-28 win against Oklahoma two weeks ago. Texas and Nebraska both were idle last week.
"I don't think we can protect well enough to be one dimensional and just throw the ball." Brown said. We're going to have to be able to run."
Seventh-ranked Kansas State forced Texas to throw in a 35-17 Wildcat victory. The Longhorns turned the ball over six times on three interceptions and three fumbles by Applewhite.
(Nebraska) is every bit as good as Kansas State." Brown said.
"They're so quick, and that's hard for us," he said. "We have a big offensive line, and we've had problems against quick defenses."
Alabama right at home against Vols
Crimson Tide has opportunity to beat Tennessee
The Associated Press
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — All preseason predictions agreed that for Alabama to have a great season there would have to be victories against Florida and Tennessee.
The 10th-ranked Crimson Tide have beaten Florida. They get a chance at No. 5 Tennessee on Saturday and, for the first time in 69 years, the game is on Alabama's campus.
"I don't think anyone believed we could beat the big teams," quarterback Andrew Zow said Monday. "People seemed to think we could win nine games this year, but they assumed we'd lose to Florida and Tennessee. Well, we beat Florida, and people are now starting to take us seriously."
ics wrong was simply not listening to them, coach Mike DuBose said.
The trick to proving the crit-
"We had enough to do with just trying to keep the football team focused that we didn't get caught up in all that," DuBose said.
Instead, Alabama (5-1, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) plugged away at its schedule. There have been three straight wins against ranked teams, the first three-game winning streak under DuBose, and Alabama cracked the Top Ten for the first time since 1996.
"Right now, we feel like we can play with anyone in the nation," guard Griff Redmill said. "We have such a high confidence level right now, we feel like we can win out our schedule and play with anyone."
The Tide gets a shot at the defending national champions this week. The Volunteers (4-1, 2-1) have a four-game winning streak against the Tide, their longest winning
streak in the series' 81 meetings.
The game marks Tennessee's first trip to Bryant-Denny Stadium since 1930 and only its fourth ever. Alabama traditionally played the Volunteers at Legion Field in Birmingham but spent more than $1 million this winter to move all its South Eastern Conference games on campus.
The move means Alabama finally will have the home field advantage in the series, tailback Shaun Alexander said.
"It's just a whole different atmosphere here, with Bear Bryant talking on the Jumbotron and the students all coming to the game," he said. "It's going to be a fun game."
Atmosphere won't be enough against Tennessee, though. For Alabama to have a shot at beating Tennessee, the Tide's defense will have to get better in a hurry.
So far this season, the Tide
has managed to win despite a defense ranked last in the SEC. Alabama allows opponents 354.2 yards a game and is no better stopping the run then it is the pass. The Tide is ranked dead last in interceptions, with two.
That led DuBose to shake up his secondary last week, demoting strong safety Marcus Spencer — the team's leading tackler. Tony Dixon was moved into Spencer's spot and Reggie Myles switched from cornerback into Dixon's old free safety spot.
The shakeup had some success — Alabama held its opponent under 300 passing yards for the first time in four games. But that effort won't be good enough against Tennessee, which finally has found an offensive groove.
After struggling offensively in games against Florida, Memphis and Auburn, the Vols rolled up 458 total yards in a 37-20 win against Georgia two weeks ago.

Early numbers indicate St. Louis playoff-bound
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — The unbeaten St. Louis Rams meet or exceed the profile of a playoff team, and coach Dick Vermell has the numbers to prove it.
A list of weekly statistical goals and objectives covers nearly an entire wall of a second-floor meeting room at Rams Park, with goals achieved highlighted in yellow. Right now, the board is glowing.
The same goes for the season goals, based on the production of the winning team in every game last year. The most glaring is their average score of 36-12. Playoff teams last season won with a 24-19 average.
"I study playoff teams; I know what their numbers are." Vermeil said Monday, a day after the Rams exceeded last year's victory total with a 41-13 victory against the Atlanta Falcons. "Our profile right now is equivalent to a very fine playoff team."
Here are a few Vermeil-generated numbers to crunch:
Playoff teams won nine of 12 season openers last year, and the Rams beat Baltimore 27-10 this year. Playoff teams were 7-1 at home, and thus far the Rams are 3-0. Playoff teams convert turnovers to touchdowns, and the Rams entered last week second in the NFL, in that category.
Critics would say the Rams' startling success is largely a product of their schedule. Their first five victims are a combined 8-21.
Beside beating the Ravens and the Cincinnati Bengals, they've swept Atlanta, which went to the Super Bowl last year, and ended a 17-game losing streak to the San Francisco 49ers.
it didn't hurt the Rams that the Falcons were without franchise back Jamal Anderson for both games, or that the 48ers quarterback Steve Young was sidelined with post-concussion syndrome two weeks ago when the Rams dispatched them 42-20.
Vermeil's conclusion: "I don't think those five wins are a fluke."

Injuries cause quarterback shuffle
NFL reserves strive to fill in for starters sitting on sidelines
By Dave Goldberg
The Associated Press football writer
Dan Marino leaves and Damon Huard plays just fine as his replacement. Same for Jay Fiedler in place of Mark Brunell. Even Brian Griese has found new life and Dave Brown is back for a while.
Such is the way of the NFL, where Kurt Warner can come out of the Arena League and lead the downtrodden St. Louis Rams to five straight wins at the start of the season.
Nonetheless, there is reason for concern in a sport in which one position plays so prominent a role. With the season one-third complete, 14 of the 31 first-string quarterbacks have been injured — some temporarily, some for the season and one perhaps for his career.
Marino completed one pass Sunday in New England. He threw an 8-yarder on the second play of the game that made him the first quarterback to surpass 60,000 yards in his career. Then he left
with a shoulder, giving way to Huard. He won the game 31-30 on a 5-yard touchdown pass to Stanley Pritchett with 23 seconds left.
**Brunell, the player most responsible for Jacksonville's early success as an expansion franchise, bruised his ribs with the Jaguars trailing expansion Cleveland 7-6 in the third quarter. Enter Fiedler, a relative of the late conductor Arthur Fielder and a quarterback who has bounced from Philadelphia to Minnesota to Jacksonville in four years. Fifteen points later, Jags win 24-1.
Jake Plummer already was playing with a variety of injuries that have kept him from fulfilling the promise he showed last season. He broke his right index finger in a loss to the Redskins. Enter Brown, a one-time first-round draft choice run out of New York by Giants fans. Brown threw a touchdown pass that temporarily got the Cards back in the game.
Detroit's Charlie Batch, another young quarterback, back the game with Minnesota with a bruised right shoulder. The injury was not believed to be serious. In the same game, Jeff George took the lead for an ineffective Randall Cunningham. George nearly won the game for the Vikings and will start next week.
■ Then there's Brett Favre, who had pulled out all three of Green Bay's wins with touchdown drives in the final minutes. Playing with a thumb injury that caused constant pain, he had the worst game of his career in Denver. He completed 7-of-23 for 120 yards with three interceptions in a 31-10 loss to the Broncos.
Griese was supposed to be benched until Bubby Brister came up with a strained rib muscle. But he threw for 363 yards in that game. Coach Mike Shanahan declined to say if Brister or Griese would start next week.
Finally, Steve Young. He wanted to come back in the second half of San Francisco's game in Arizona Sept. 27 after sustaining yet another concussion in the first half.
Instead, he's missed three games now, and the unrelated Steinberges, agent Leigh and physician Gary, seem to want him to retire. The agent is outspoken; the doctor is guarded.
In his stead, Jeff Garcia has done decently.
Nor he 's not Steve young.
Nor he 's Damon Huard Dan Marino.
Golf, soccer women earn recognition
But he's not Steve Young
In a year of declining and emerging quarterbacks, only Kurt Warner has looked like a superstar.
NEW YORK— Juli inkster thinks that with a little work, soccer star Mia Hamm might make it on the LPGA Tour someday.
The Associated Press
But she knows Hamm is more interested in launching a women's professional soccer league before retiring to the golf course.
Inkster and Hamm were honored yesterday as Sportswomen of the Year by the Women's Sports Foundation.
Hamm, the most prolific scorer in women's soccer, was chosen in the team sport category. She helped the U.S. team capture the 1999 Women's World Cup before a record crowd of 90,15 at the Rose Bowl final. July 10.
Inkster, who won five LPGA titles this season earning a spot in the Hall of Fame, was selected in the individual category.
For Hamm, who has a 13 handcap, the next goal is establishing a women's pro soccer league after the 2000 Olympics.
"We want to see it happen, and 2001 is probably the best bet to launch it," Hamm said. "Hopefully, the success from last summer and the excitement for the Olympics will get this thing going."
Hamm isn't certain the women's pro league will be partnered with Major League Soccer. Unlike the NBA, which finances the WNBA, the men's soccer league does not have deep pockets.
"I hope it can succeed on its own," Hamm said. "What we don't want is just for it to be around for a couple of years. We want to make sure we do it right and get a solid foundation before we jump into anything."
Inkster, who won the U.S. Open, is enjoying her best season in 17 years on the tour. She once went five years without a tour victory.
After achieving her goal of winning the U.S. Open, Inkster won the LPGA Championship, to become only the fourth woman to win the career Grand Slam, joining Pat Bradley, Louise Suggs and Mickey Wright. She gained the final point for the Hall of Fame last month with a victory in the Safeway Championship.
The 39-year-old Inkster is vying with Karrie Webb for Player of the Year honors

Irene soaks soggy North Carolina
Residents struggle to stay dry amid rising floodwaters
The Associated Press
TARBORO, N.C. — The nearly one foot of rain dropped by Hurricane Irene is all but guaranteed to bring another round of flooding to North Carolina later this week, demoralizing people still reeling from Hurricane Floyd a month ago.
"You get lifted up and the next thing you know, something else happens," said Karen Mabry, who
was flooded out of her mobile home by Floyd and was kept out by Irene on Monday. She has been staying in an apartment supplied by the Red Cross but has had trouble sleeping.
"I keep waking up and looking out the window to make sure nothing else is happening," she said. "It's just terrible."
Barely hurricane strength, Irene soaked North Carolina's soggy coastal plain Sunday with up to 11 inches of rain before veering out into the Atlantic without ever coming ashore.
Irene was blamed for one death in North Carolina, a motorist whose vehicle skidded into a tree. At least eight other people died as a result of
the storm, five of them in Florida.
The rains once again sent streams from their banks and promised to produce more serious flooding later this week as runoff drains into the Tar, Neuse and Cape Fear rivers.
For the past two months, it has been one thing after another in eastern North Carolina.
First there was Hurricane Dennis, which battered the coast for a week before coming inland and dumping up to 8 inches of rain. Two weeks later, Floyd poured 20 inches of rain on the region, causing 49 deaths and the worst flooding in state history. Eight more inches fell less than two weeks after that. Irene came next.
To help flood victims cope, the Red Cross has sent 244 mental health workers to eastern North Carolina — more than for any other disaster except the Oklahoma City bombing.
"People are overwhelmed right now by the fact that they have to clean up by the storms and be a mom and a dad and an employee." Red Cross spokeswoman Gina Glarronardo said.
Near Pinetops, which was devastated by Floyd's floodwaters, Leroy Johnson watched the waters rising on a Tar River tributary and said it didn't worry him much.
"People are at ease now because this time they have nothing to lose," he said.
Dow Jones ends on gain inflation worries buyers
The Associated Press
NEW YORK— Stocks were mixed yesterday, careening through a volatile session marked by continued concern about rising interest rates and inflation. Technology stocks fell sharply, bearing the brunt of investors' pessimism.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 96.57 and closed at 10,116.28. Most of the gain occurred in the final 30 minutes of trading. Earlier in the session, the Dow was up as much as 108 points and down as much as 43 points from Friday's close.
Analysts said that after driving the blue chips down last week, investors were ready to focus their worries on Nasdaq's technology stocks.
1989 Travelers Insurance and Traveler Association College Retirement Equation Fund NY,NY
Intel fell 1 1/2 to 693/8,
Microsoft slipped 3/16 to 87/7
and Dell fell 1 1/2 to 41 5/16. The Nasdaq's high flying Internet stocks posted mixed results, with eBay off 4 5/8 at 129 1/2 and Yahoo! up 3/4 at 170 5/16.
Many analysts had expected investors to seek out buying opportunities following the Dow's 5.9 percent loss last week.
Investors are waiting for the latest indications of whether rising inflation is giving the Federal Reserve another reason to raise interest rates for the third time this year.
Today, the consumer price index will provide the next gauge of inflation pressures. Any signs that price pressures are escalating are expected to send stocks lower again.
But corporate earnings could be threatened if interest rates continue to rise. Higher interest rates increase borrowing costs, making it more costly to finance growth. That is particularly true for technology stocks, which trade at very high prices on the promise of strong future earnings.
Analysts believe continued strength in corporate earnings could be the catalyst that snaps the market's recent decline.
Chair-wielding monks fortify Korean temple
Buddhist turmoil leads to violence
The Associated Press
SEOUL, South Korea—South Korea's main Buddhist temple resembles less a spiritual sanctuary than a fortified camp these days.
Cols of barbed wire line the tile-topped walls, trailers block the entrances to ward off intruders and guards with iron bars and piles of rocks at their feet watch warily from the bell tower.
South Korea's largest Buddhist order is once again in turmoil over leadership, and the thuggish tactics of some monks — hardly in line with the path to eternal enlightenment — have scarred the religion's image nationwide.
The dispute illustrates Buddhism's often uncomfortable role in secular South Korea, where some faction leaders vie for control of tax-free properties and donations from worshippers.
There also is suspicion among some Buddhists that Christians, who dominate the government, are trying to manipulate the conflict to
marginalize Buddhism's 1,700 years of influence.
The Chogye order, which promotes Zen meditation, has been plagued by internal bickering for years.
At the temple last week, monks brandished sticks and smashed collapsible metal chairs on the shaved heads of rival monks. At least 10 monks and lay people were injured.
On Monday, about 100 dissident monks and supporters protested peacefully outside the temple in downtown Seoul.
The squabble revolves around matters unabashedly material; who gets to handle an annual budget in the millions of dollars, control land, buildings and assets worth millions more and appoint 1.700 monks to various duties.
PLAY IT AGAIN SPORTS
After last year's showdown, mainstream monks elected a new leader. But a Seoul administrative court, acting on a lawsuit by the dissidents, cited procedural flaws and ruled against the vote on Oct. 1.
In defiance, the mainstream monks barricaded themselves in Chogye, named for a Chinese mountain where an ancient Buddhist patriarch once lived.

KU students take nontraditional route to renting

Kansan staff writer
Jay Mullinix, Wichita sophomore, said he and his four roommates sometimes thought they were being watched — like they were part of a secret psychology experiment.
The five University of Kansas students said they lived in the fanciest house they probably ever would live in — ironically, during a time when they have the least amount of money.
It's a 74-year-old white, two-story home located a couple of miles south of campus.
[USPS] 650-640
The home belongs to Jim Juola, professor of psychology, who is on sabbatical leave in Europe with his wife.
Until May, it is the students' home.
The students jokingly said the whole situation seemed too perfect — what else could it be except an experiment?
That is why they tease one another when one mistakenly says "Jualo" instead of "Juola."
"You know they heard you say that, don't you?" they say.
table and a TV area.
Mullinix said the guys also joked about the reason one of the toilets broke — the Juolas wanted to see who would find it first and what his reaction would be.
All jokes aside, they agreed the home was a college student's dream come true. The rent is cheap, $200 a piece each month. It is fully furnished. There is plenty of space. There are five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a formal dining room, a den and a basement complete with a pool

History made at University with new dean
By Nathan Willis
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
When Toni-Marie Montgomery becomes the dean of fine arts this spring, she also will become the first African-American academic dean in the history of the University of Kansas.
However, Montgomery won't be focusing on her place in University history when she assumes the dean's duties from interim dean Carole Ross on April 3.
"For me, I don't focus on, 'Oh, I'm the first African-American dean," she said. "Instead, I think, 'What is it that I can do to make sure that I am not the last?'
Montgomery said she wasn't surprised to be the first African American in such a high position at the University, given the small number of minorities who were in high academic positions at universities across the nation.
for example, she is currently the director of the school of music at Arizona State University. But, she said, among the deans and directors of the nation's top-20 music schools as listed by U.S. News and World Report, she is the only woman or ethnic minority.
Provost David Shulenburger, who announced her hiring last week, said that he gave little thought to race in his decision.
The numbers are so small at this level, it doesn't surprise me I'm the first" she said.
"She's basically an experienced, extremely qualified person," Shulenburger said. "That's what we set out to hire, and that's what we hired."
Info tables and bus ads complete responsible drinking campaign
By Nathan Willis
See NEW on page 6A
Kansan staff writer
Campaign members set up information tables Monday at Oliver Hall, Gertrude Sellars Pearson-Corbin Hall and Ekdahl Dining Commons. The tables spread the campaign's message that most students drink only moderately, said Ellie Prosser, graduate research assistant for the campaign.
By the end of the week, students will be able to see literature promoting responsible drinking in two more places across campus.
To coincide with Alcohol Awareness Week, the Social Norms Media Campaign, which is trying to curb alcohol abuse at the University of Kansas, is unveiling the last two forums it will use to spread its message this semester.
In addition to the tables, two KU on Wheels buses will begin featuring ads for
the campaign. Prosser said.
Alcohol Awareness Week, which is a national awareness campaign, was a natural time for KU's social norms program to unveil its last two ways of spreading its message, Berkley-Patton said.
The campaign already has distributed posters in the residence halls and awarded residents $5 each for displaying them. In sum, the campaign paid nearly $300 to residents who hung the posters, more than had been anticipated, Berkley-Patton said.
Jannette Berkley-Patton, project facilitator for the campaign, said the bus ads hopefully would be up by the end of the week.
The campaign also continues to purchase ads in The University Daily Kansan, something it has done since the beginning of the
The tables will remain for a couple of weeks and the bus signs will remain in place for the rest of the semester.
The bus ads, however, represent a departure from some of the campaign's previous techniques to reach students.
They were purchased because the campaign is trying to promote its message more strongly to students who live off-campus, Berkley-Patton said. Efforts such as the tables and posters primarily had affected only those who live in student housing.
"Since alcohol is our issue, we can use the visibility of Alcohol Awareness Week to help promote our message." she said.
semester
Unlike most things the campaign has done, the bus signs are not an idea modeled after the successful social norms campaign at Northern Illinois University, she said. Instead, they are home-grown ideas based on the need to reach off-campus students, she said.
"The bus signs are unique to KU," she said. "KU has such a strong bus system, and we wanted to reach students who don't spend a lot of time on campus."

Red tape ties Bullwinkles in liquor bind
By Derek Prater writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The City of Lawrence is waving a red flag in the face of the Bull.
Last night, city commissioners authorized Mayor Erv Hodges to put up an appeals bond to ensure its legal battle with Bullwinkles, 1344 Tennessee St.
The bar sued Ray Hummert, city clerk, for denying a zoning certificate required for a drinking establishment license from the State Alcohol and Beverage Commission. The license would allow the bar to sell liquor and stay open until 2 a.m. District Judge Robert Fairchild ruled in
District Judge Robert Fairchild ruled in favor of Bollwinkley on Sept. 8.
The city paid the appeals bond to avoid any legal action by the bar during the appeals process. The city does not have to grant Bollwinkles the zoning certificate until the appeal is decided, said Jerry Cooley, city attorney.
If the appeal fails, the bond is forfeited to the bar to cover compensatory damages.
The city commission went into an executive session after the consent agenda to meet with Cooley and discuss the matter. Executive session is closed to the public and can be used to protect attorney-client privilege.
After the executive session, commissioners voted 5-0 to authorize the appeals bond.
Cooley said the appeals process could last as long as a year because of a backlog of appeals. Neither
City Commission
he nor Mike Wilden, city manager, would speculate on the outcome of the appeal, but Wilden did say why the city was going ahead.
"We think we're right." he said.
Bunwickles is located in an area not zoned for beer or liquor sales but was allowed nonconforming uses because it was established before the zoning regulations were passed.
Neither bar owner Kevin Polian nor his attorney, Edward Collister, could be reached for comment.
From January 1993 to January 1998, Bullwinkles operated as a drinking establishment. In January 1998, the bar surrendered its drinking establishment license after being charged with serving alcohol to minors.
In the fall of 1988, Polian bought the bar. The sale was contingent on the bar's reinstatement as a drinking establishment. When Hummert would not issue the zoning certificate, both parties in the sale brought suit against him.
The bar still was allowed nonconforming uses and reopened as a cereal malt beverage establishment, which can serve only beer and must close at midnight.
City attorneys argued that converting the bar from a cereal malt beverage establishment to a drinking establishment was an expansion of its non-conforming uses.
Fairchild ruled that because the bar was previously a drinking establishment, there was no expansion of use.

KU ACLU says religious issue on hold, but not sealed shut
By Clay McCuistion writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Three weeks after Chancellor Robert Hemenway vigorously defended the legality of the University of Kansas seal, the KU chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union has decided to drop its questioning of the seal.
The lack of students claiming injury by the possibly religious seal and the organization's limited resources have stalled the ACLU's momentum.
"Right now we have a few other issues we're going to be concentrating on," said Kevin Sivits, president of the KU group. "It's been moved to the back burner."
At least for now.
These other issues included a Nov. 30
presentation of "inherit the Wind" and a visit next semester by Nadine Strossen, national director of the ACU.
"These two things are relatively time-intensive for us," Sivits said.
On Sept. 9, Sivits and KU ACLU member Buddy Lloyd sent a letter to the chancellor, asking him to justify the seal's depiction of Moses kneeling before a burning bush, circled by a Bible verse in Latin. The two wonders if the seal violated the wondered U.S. Constitution's separation of church and state.
On Sept. 28, Hemenway responded with a letter of his own.
"I view the seal of the University as one of its valuable assets, one that has served the University well for over 120 years," Hemenwrote. "I will not hesitate to
"We're better off, we had this dialogue," Lloyd said. "This just proves we're
not afraid to tackle the tough issues."

defend fully the continued use of the seal." The KU ACLU netted considerable media attention for the query.
about future possibilities. "Eventually one probably will step forward."
"We would not proceed without atplaintiff," Lloyd said, although he remained optimistic.
To continue, the group would need a plaintiff for a lawsuit, alleging he or she had been hurt in some way by the University seal.
Lloyd and Sivits both said emphatically that the issue had not been forgotten.
"This should in no way be construed as
the ACLU giving the KU seal a clean bill of health," Lloyd said.
The group's questions caused turmoil within the KU organization, leading to the Sept. 12 resignation of executive director Alexis Vanasse.
Vanasse had said that once the questioning of the seal had finished, she would consider returning to her job.
"I'm kind of hoping to come back within the next couple of days," Vanesse said yesterday evening.

Korb Maxwell, student body president,
said he was glad questions about the seal
had been put aside for the moment.
"I do not believe that the University seal infringes upon anyone's rights," Maxwell said. "I'm happy that the ACLU leadership has decided to postpone the issue."

Professor to discuss good,bad mushrooms
For many, the thought of fungi and mushrooms is about as exciting as taking midterms, but for Richard and Sherry Kay the subject has turned into book deals and vacations.
The Kays will be speaking about "50 Fungi" at noon today as part of the University Forum at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave.
Richard Kay said he would discuss poisonous and edible mushrooms while showing slides from his travels around the country.
"I will give them an introduction to fungi and mushrooms and give them a general account of how they differ from plants," he said. "They are spectacles of things that are beautiful, colorful, strange and wonderful."
Richard Kay, a professor emeritus of history at the University of Kansas, has published books about mushrooms and has won awards for his photography of mushrooms.
He is also the founding member of the Kaw Valley Mycological Society, a local mushroom club. Kay said he had studied fungi for more than 25 years.
Art students to sell homemade jewelry
The University Forums are free to all members of the University and Lawrence communities.
The KU School of Fine Arts and the Department of Design will offer homemade jewelry and crafts for sale today and tomorrow on the third floor in the Art and Design building.
Lin Stonionis, assistant professor of design, said the sale would feature undergraduate and graduate students' jewelry, ranging from titanium to plastic to sterling silver.
Stanionis said students worked in groups to decide what to make and the prices of their creations.
Items at the sale range from salad servers to bookends to silver jewelry. Prices on the items will range from $7 to $145.
"The actual project is to get experience in design and the business market," she said. "They figure out price based on the cost of the material and the time spent on the object."
Profits from the sale will go toward the 20 students' trip to Chicago to see the Sculpture, Objects, Function and Art exhibit at Navy Pier November 4-6.
Stanionis said the Chicago exhibit
would feature sculptures and art media from 150 international gallery collections.

LAWRENCE
Officer makes first appearance at court
Micah Stegall, the Lawrence police officer charged with battery and driving while intoxicated, made his first appearance in Division 4 court yesterday.
Stegall's charges stem from events Aug. 14, when he drove onto the sidewalk at Eighth and Vermont streets, striking a bicyclist. Stegall was not on duty at the time of the accident.
The case was presided by Judge Adrian Allen, a retired Shawnee County judge from Topeka. The case is not being tried by a Douglas County judge because Stegall's father is employed by court services.
Allen scheduled Stegall's next appearance for 11 a.m. Nov. 8. He is expected to enter a plea.
District Attorney Christine Tonkovich said nothing had been resolved in the case.
"Because he had an attorney and has been involved since the date of the incident, we have been discussing possible dispositions on this case," Tonkovich said.

Benedictine president denies misusing money
ATCHISON—The president of Benedictine College is denying allegations of misusing funds and illegal and unethical fund-raising practices.
Daniel J. Carey, president of Benedictine College, said the charges contained in a civil lawsuit filed last week by a former employee were false.
"We feel confident the truth will prevail and all the allegations will be shown to be false," Carey said Monday.
The suit alleges the school used gifts issued to the college for purposes other than those specified by donors. It also alleges Carey misappropriated college funds for his own use.
Anthony Gilles, a former Benedictine employee, filed the $1.5 million suit Oct. 12 in the U.S. District Court in Knoxville, Tenn.
Gilles claims in his lawsuit that no one told him before he accepted the job about the case of Don Laney, former professor and chairman of the business department at Redemption
Laney pleaded guilty earlier this year to forgery, stealing and mail fraud charges.
Gilles said he was fired after he asked Carey for information about the Laney case and donors to the college. He said he would not have accepted the job at Benedictine if he had known about the Laney case.
Carey noted that Gilles worked for only 13 days at Benedictine.
"We will do everything we can to protect the good name of the college and verify that these allegations are false," he said.
Gulf War drug possible cause for syndrome
NATION
WASHINGTON—A Pentagon-financed study concludes that a drug given to U.S. troops during the Persian Gulf war to protect against a nerve gas cannot be ruled out as a possible cause for what has come to be known as Gulf War syndrome.
Defense Department officials were presenting the 385-page review of scientific literature on the drug pyristigmine bromide, or PB, at a news conference yesterday.
Prepared By Beatrice Alexandra Golomb of Rand Corp., a California think tank, the study says PB cannot be ruled out as a cause of lingering illnesses in some veterans of the Gulf War.
"This does not imply that it is necessarily a causal factor, only that the possibility cannot be dismissed," she wrote.
White House representative Joe Lockhart declined comment.
Despite the cautious nature of the conclusion, the Rand review of about 1,000 published studies on the drug gives somewhat more credence to the hypothesis that it could cause or contribute to Guif War syndrome, a vague array of symptoms including chronic pain, digestive problems, nausea, skin rashes, fatigue, aching joints, memory loss and concentration problems.
PB was given to an estimated 300,000 soldiers during the war as protection against the nerve gas soman. The Pentagon has earmarked about $20 million, of $133 million spent researching Gulf War syndrome, specifically to study the effects of the drug.

Grocery chain opens new location; West Lawrence welcomes Dillons
By Derek Prater
by Derek Prater
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
There may be no better indicator of Lawrence's westward expansion than the newest addition to the growing grocery store population.
The Dillons grocery chain is having a ribbon-cutting ceremony this morning for its new store at 4701 W. Sixth St. The store opens for the first time at 6 a.m., and the ceremony is scheduled for 8 a.m.
Mayor Erv Hodges will represent the city at the ceremony, and he said Dillons would be fulfilling a neighborhood need.
Luisa Perez, Lawrence resident, lives in a neighborhood near the new Dillons and said she was looking forward to the store's opening.
"I'm very happy that this area is growing," she said. "The Dillons is closer, and it's on my way to work."
Larry Bussinger, store manager, said westward growth prompted the new store location.
"Our customers and our community needed a location out here," Bussinger said. "Customers
told us that was what they wanted."
Not only will residents in surrounding neighborhoods have a closer grocery store, but they also will have options. The Hy-Vee chain also is building a new store in the neighborhood. Hy-Vee is scheduled to open in July.
Hodges thought there would be enough demand for both stores to prosper.
"They don't make an investment of this sort without doing their research," he said. "They counted the number of roofs out there, and the number there will be."
Hodges also said that competition between the stores might provide benefits for shoppers in reduced prices.
"Let's just say I'm sure we'll both have our customer base, and things will go well for everybody," he said.
Bussinger said he couldn't comment on possible price wars or promotions that would result from competition between the stores.
Perez said she thought the competition would be good for customers and would give them more choices.

Paleontologist finds life in old bones
By Scott Kirsch

For some people, the word "dinosaur" conjures up images of popcorn and cinematic terror. But for Dave Burnham, dinosaurs are simply a wav of life.
Burnham, a paleontologist who began work at the Natural History Museum in September 1998, has known what he wanted to do ever since he was a kid — dig up dinosaurs.

Ivan Vazovsky, 1926-2015. A Russian painter and sculptor, he was born in Moscow and studied at the Art Academy of St. Petersburg. He is known for his realistic paintings depicting rural life and nature. Vazovsky's work often features animals and human figures in natural settings. He is also known for his abstract paintings, which often incorporate organic forms and swirling patterns.
"He's one of the best dinosaur preparators in the world," said Tom Swearingen, exhibits director at the museum. "If we were to pick anyone in the world to do his job, he'd be the one."
Burnham was involved in the discovery of a Tyrannosaurus rex in 1992, which inspired him to form his own company two years later.
From that discovery, Burnham said, "I developed a research program, or technique, in which to build the best and most accurate replicas of Tyrannosaurus rex."
Burnham's technique was honed and perfected, and now the replicas are sold around the world. They are available in many sizes and will fit anywhere from a school to a museum to a living room
Burnham's interest in dinosaur fossils originated with his father, a geologist. Burnham accompanied his father on digs and also went prospecting and hiking with him. From those adventures he was born a strong desire to become a paleontologist.
"There aren't really too many positions available in paleontology." Burnham said. "You really have to carve your own niche."
Burnham began carving his niche at the University of New Orleans, where he studied geology and paleontology. At New Orleans, he learned that paleontologists are required to take a lot of pre-medical and anatomy courses — courses which have
contributed strongly Burpham's expertise.
Burnham's thesis discussed a new species of Mosasaurus he had discovered. A Mosasaur hangs from the ceiling at the entrance of the history museum.
After finishing his degree, Burnham was offered a position at the Black Hills Institute of Geological Research in South Dakota. He took the job and began work there in the summer of 1991.
However, the big excitement occurred in 1992, when the Institute dug up the Tyrannosaurus rex that eventually led to the founding of Burnham's company.
Another highlight for his company was the discovery of a Triceratops. The fossils were found articulated, which means that all of the bones still were connected, a rarity in the field, Burnham said.
His company also has done studies on a baby Velociraptor, which was discovered and contributed to his company by a little boy in Montana. The boy's family did dinosaur digs on the weekend for fun, and the boy made a discovery that would make most paleontologists ecstatic.
More than 5,000 microscope hours were spent studying the Velociraptor, from which at least two major discoveries were made. The first was proof that the Velociraptor had the largest brain of any of the dinosaurs.
"You know that scene in Jurassic Park where the raptors figured out how to open doors?" Burnham said. "Well, that's pretty accurate. They probably could."
The second discovery was that the Velociraptor could be the missing link in dinosaur bird evolution. Burnham is writing a manuscript for publication about the subject.
Although his company had been successful, Burnham decided to take on another challenge — he
accepted a job at the University of Kansas.
"This is one of the top paleontology institutions in the world," Burnham said. "It's ranked sixth in the U.S., even above Yale."
Burnham's biggest project now is the reconstruction of a Camarasaur, found in Wyoming last year by a KU field crew. The Camarasaur, which the crew nicknamed Anabel, is 60-feet long and should be mounted on the fifth floor of the Museum by next year.
"He brought a lot of skill into the foot molding of the Camaraasaur, and he pretty much brought in a lot of techniques." Maltese said.
Anthony Maltese, dinosaur lab preparator, said Burnham's skills added a lot to the project.
"Paleontology is just like detective work," Burnham said. "The present is a key to the past." And, just like any good detective, Burnham always gets his dinosaur.

Welcome Toni-Marie Montgomery
Last week, Toni-Marie Montgomery, former director of the School of Music at Arizona State University, was named dean of fine arts at the University of Kansas. The editorial board gives a nod of approval and thanks to Chancellor Hemenway for this outstanding decision.
Montgomery's credentials are impressive. She holds a doctor of musical arts and master of music degrees in piano chamber music and accompanying from the University of Michigan. She graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor of music degree in piano performance from the Philadelphia College of Performing Arts.
since 1995, Montgomery has presented workshops at the National
The University of Kansas will benefit from the skills of this renowned musician
Association of Schools of Music and International Council of Fine Arts Deans annual conferences. This January, she will serve on a panel at the International Association of Jazz Educators conference.
The list goes on, and it's clear that her appointment as dean of fine arts here at KU will greatly benefit the School of Fine Arts and resonate throughout the University. Her goals are high, as she wants to see KU's fine arts program considered among the top five nationwide.
The hiring of Montgomery, an African-American woman, not only speaks well for the School of Fine Arts, but for the chancellor as well.
When Chancellor Hemenway came to the University of Kansas in 1996, he set a bald agenda. An important part of his goals dealt with improving and increasing minority recruitment at the University, including students and faculty. In fact, Chancellor Hemenway went as far as to say that it was his goal to have 100 minority faculty members by 2000.
He hasn't attained that goal, and it's doubtful that it will be realized by the new year. Dean Montgomery's appointment, however, is another important step in the right direction.

Perspective
The right to be offensive What is freedom for all?
let us now speak of freedom. It rears its head every day. Locally, with the University seal. Nationally, with the elephant-dung Virgin of New York.
We deal with it whenever we discuss such matters. But, there's been a trap of late. A lot of peo
ters. But, there been a trap
fall into it. They mistake
it for freedom and mask it in
liberty's clothing.
They wish to remove offensive things. Things that are filth. Things that are insensitive to other cultures and religions.
JOHN BORN
This is not freedom. You do not have the natural right to live your life without being offended by something. Offensive things do no harm to our innate rights; they merely upset us,
Loader columnist
opinion@kansan.com
But we stamp it out, and call it freedom anyway. Because it's easier.
It is easy to rally behind it because it sincerely seeks to wipe out genuinely disgusting things. "Don't you want to see the artificial cow's head swarming with live maggotss?" wrote a recent guest columnist, speaking against the New York exhibit. "This is art. This is freedom of speech."
The right calls it morality. The left calls it sensitivity.
Yeah. It is. Did you expect it
adom isn't always pretty
Freedom is the men in white robes and pointy hoods marching down the street shouting hate. Freedom is the pervert in the dim, shoddy room looking at obscene pictures.
room looking at obese men. Freedom is the crackhead burning the American flag, right next to a monument in honor of the veterans who died for their nation.
Freedom is Fred Phelps screaming about how a slain young man is going to burn in hell for eternity.
Freedom is the wild-eyed man whispering about how the government should be overthrown.
Freedom is the cuttist in the airport, chanting,
staring, pushing pamphlets.
But it's often beautiful, too. And sometimes the ugliness that most of us see is the birth of a new form of beauty.
Freedom is being able to talk to God however you like. (Not that long ago, being Catholic in America meant looking over your shoulder. "There oughta be a law." In the 1860s, we tried to expel Jews from the central U.S. We liked the idea, but Lincoln concluded that the order violated the Constitution and reversed it.)
Freedom is being assured, by law, that your race doesn't make you a second class citizen. (1942. "Everyone knows those Jaws are all spies. I mean, they're citizens, but they're Japs. There oughta be a law. Off to the camps. Off to the horse-stalls-turned-barracks. Sell everything. This is for freedom. There oughta be a law.")
Freedom is being able to speak your mind with out fear that the men in sunglasses and suits will take you away. (1950. "He's a commie. I mean, he knew that pinko lawyer, so he's obviously a commie. There oughta be a law. Better tap his phone. Better bug his room. Better slap him around a bit, get him fired, execute him on a charge of whatever. This is for freedom. This is for God and country, because, you know, he's one of them. And they shouldn't have rights. None at all. There oughta be a law.")
Freedom is the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. telling us about his dream. ("There oughta be a law," someone in the crowd mutters. "Negro. Why do they let him talk his poison?" Much of the nation silently agrees and wishes they'd arrest King.)
Freedom is often ugly. But you have to take the good with the bad, the offensive with the inoffensive. Because no-one ever died from being offended. No great catastrophe has ever fallen upon people who have had their morals bruised. The Bill of Rights was not written to protect popular things; popular needs need no protection. We cannot make exceptions, because the only time that freedom becomes important is when everyone is shouting that, just this once, there oughta be a law.
Filth is just as deserving of protection as beauty. A university does not lose its right to portray its mission in an emblem merely because someone might find that emblem to be offensive or exclusionary.
Stamping the bad things out is easy. Freedom is hard.
Let us not shirk from hard tasks.

Graduating in December may not be best option
If you are thinking about graduating in December, you may have discovered that there are some pitfalls. Being a December graduate myself. I have several arguments to convince you that it is better to wait until May.
Let's start with commencement and the celebrations that happen at the end of the academic year. If you don't care about the whole walking-down-the-Hill tradition, December graduation may not be a problem. But I do love these kind of festivities. Since my freshman year, I have looked forward to the oop-
many yella I have unity to wear my cap and gown with thousands of other KU students as they walk through the Campanile.
Because I don't know where I'm going to be in May 2000, I walked the Hill with the class of 1999 this past May. Although I loved the ceremony, something was missing. Maybe it was the ones who had come with me but weren't graduating yet. And because it wasn't my "real" graduation, my parents decided
Mariana
Paiva
guest columnist
opinion@kansas.com
Besides the complications with commencement, there is a strange feeling that hits you after you come back from an internship that might become your real job. If I had a full year to go, I would have a better attitude towards my classes. But because I am probably the only senior taking Biology 100 to complete a second major, I started to have serious thoughts about dropping that class and graduating with only one major. I feel that it isn't right for me to be in school anymore, and I should be working to pay my own bills. What can I possibly learn in this last semester that
mat only my mom should come to do the usual things: take pictures, videotape and remember everything to tell our relatives.
Of course there are advantages to staying an extra six months in Kansas to graduate in December. Unfortunately, besides being able to hang out with the friends that I made during these years, I haven't seen many yet.
Paiva is a Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, senior in Latin American studies and journalism.
If there had been another option when we saw the way this apartment looked, we would probably have given up and tried to find a new one. But because there were no other places that could offer us a lease contract for only six months we decided to get used to our colorful carpet and enjoy our home sweet home.
Guns and toys a bad comparison
I haven't learned already? I'm trying to be patient and look for the bright side of this story. Maybe something will happen this semester that will change my future and show that I was deeply wrong.
My last argument to convince you that it is better to graduate in May is the serious problem Lawrence has with housing. It is almost impossible to find a nice apartment for six months at a price that you would regularly pay in a one-year contract. My boyfriend and I started looking for six-month lease apartments last March, and finally in the middle of July he found an ad in the Kansan announcing the apartment we now have.
Feedback
Before, all the apartments we found that rented for only six months were studios and cost more than $400. Although we found this apartment at a relatively normal cost, we soon found out that not everything was so perfect. The apartment the manager showed to my boyfriend was brand new, and of course looked really nice. On the other hand, ours has dirty stains on the wall and at the main door, and red and yellow stains cover the carpet. I even brought a nice rug from Brazil, but the stains are so spread out that they are impossible to cover.
Sigh. Another editorial calling for further restrictions to be placed on firearms. Ostensibly, to "heal the wounds ... across the nation."
In reading your article, I wonder if the author has any experience with firearms. His use of the phrase "weapon of terror" leads me to believe not. The TEC-DC9 is chambered in 9 mm parabellum, a round that would have great difficulty penetrating body armor. However, even the most common deer-hunting rifle in .30-06 will penetrate most soft body armor.
To compare toys and guns is a stretch. The 2nd Amendment protects the individual's rights to keep and bear arms. Any small arms. To determine the meaning of a "well-regulated militia," and whether only "sporting" arms should be owned, I suggest the author read the Federalist Papers.
But hey, why not sacrifice
Nate Wilke
freedom for safety? To heal wounds, of course.
I think that people should have to undergo a background check, get a license, and pay a special tax before they exercise other rights, like freedom of speech, or to assemble, or to practice whatever religion they want to. We don't want irresponsible people to have those freedoms, do we?

Section A·Page 5
Committees will review change in grading option
By Chris Borniger
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
If proposed legislation passes through two Student Senate committees tonight, students may get more time to decide if they actually want a grade in the class or if they just want to take it for credit/no credit.
A petition up for review by the University Affairs and Student Rights committees tonight would ask the University Senate, which is made up of Student Senate and Faculty Senate, to extend the period during which students can elect to use the credit/no credit option for a class. Presently, students only can exercise that option during the third and fourth weeks of the semester. The petition asks to move that period back until the fifth and sixth weeks. Students in summer classes still would have until the second week of classes to choose credit/no credit.
R. J. Woodring, petition sponsor and Nunemaker senator, said the bill would give students more time to gauge their performance in a class.
"Most students who choose to take a class credit/no credit have taken it because it's not in their major and something they may not be good at," he said. "After four weeks, they don't have a grasp on the teacher's grading. The whole idea is that they should at least have an idea before they decide."
SENATE BILLS
Committees also will consider bills to:
- Require groups seeking block allocation money to hire a staff member from the University accounting system who is trained in the PeopleSoft accounting software.
- Form an "associate resolver" men
Form an "associate senator" mentoring program.
Allocate $287 to the Adopt-a School program.
Allocate $5,000 to the Office of Multicultural Affairs to pay for a speech by Travis Smiley, a journalist with Black Entertainment Television.
Credit/no credit is an option available to undergraduates. Instead of an A, B or C, a student receives a grade of "credit." Grades of D or F are marked as "no credit" and do not count toward graduation. Neither of those designations affect the student's grade point average.
Michael Henry, non-traditional senator and one of the bill's co-sponsors, said he expected the faculty to support the modification.

What they see is a chance for students to master information without risking their futures." he said.
Henry said the issue especially affected seniors needing a class to graduate. When so much is on the line, he said, knowing more about class expectations and the instructor's teaching style is imperative.
"I know that, as a senior, there are several classes I wish I could have taken," he said. "But with the job market the way it is, I didn't want to hurt my GPA."
Committees also will evaluate a
bill that would give students more rights in disciplinary hearings. The present policy mandates that students receive notices of the charges against them and that the University of Kansas has the right to present witnesses against them in a closed hearing. The amended policy would require written notice of the charges, an opportunity for students to present witnesses and the right for students to decide if their hearing should be open to the public.
Another petition up for review tonight could make community service a part of some class curricula. The petition would go to University administrators, including the chancellor, the provost, the Board of Regents and the deans of all University schools.

The students, who met one another through a Bible study, went through an application process for the right to rent the home for the year.
The couple left the majority of their belongings in the house. There are antiques, including an old organ and a phonograph, pieces of art and furniture.

They said they were up against a group of college women, young families and newlyweds, yet, the family chose them.
Family pictures are displayed throughout the house, and the five students try to figure out who everyone is.
The students have been able to add their own touches to the decor, including computer-printed signs in the kitchen that say "your mom doesn't live here" and "there ain't no maid here." They also brought an extra couch and armchair to add to the basement.

The bedrooms are larger than the traditional residence hall room. Four of the bedrooms are on the top floor, including the large master bedroom with an adjoining bathroom and balcony overlooking the backyard.

New African-American dean attributes success to leadership

However, Montgomery said she knew that race was a factor when she stepped into any job.
"It's really impossible for people in the U.S. especially to see around it," she said. "If someone says that they're color-blind, and they don't notice that I'm African American, there's something wrong."
Although she agreed that people noticed her race, Montgomery agreed with Shulenburger that her quick climb up the career ladder was entirely because of her talents and abilities.
"It's really impossible for people in the U.S. especially to see around it. If someone says that they're color-blind, and they don't notice that I'm African American, there's something wrong."
"I know I haven't gotten a job because of that, but instead I've gotten jobs because I'm qualified," she said.

that she would try to help ethnic minorities and women gain a more equal footing in upper administrative positions.
"I'm not on a crusade," she said.
"But I think, 'What can I do to help?"
Past involvement shows this. In 1988, she was a founding member of the Black Music Repetory Ensemble that was designed to perform works by African-American composers to promote appreciation of the African-American musical heritage. She also was president of Faculty Women's Association at Arizona State.
Those are just two of many organizations Montgomery has been involved with, many of which have nothing to do with race or gender.
But at the same time, she said her race and gender were an important part of who she was.
"That's part of me," she said. "And I wouldn't want to have that taken away."

Indonesian assembly accepts Timor vote, rejects president
Legislature endorses East Timor's intent to leave Indonesia
The Associated Press
JAKARTA, Indonesia—Indonesia's top legislative body dealt what appeared to be a crushing blow yesterday to President B.J. Habibie's hopes of staying in a session that also recognized East Timor's independence.
The 700-member People's Consultative Assembly was to vote later yesterday on who would lead the world's fourth most-populous country in its continuing transition from authoritarian rule to democracy.
The legislators voted 355-322 to reject Habibie's speech defending his controversial 16 months in office. That could prompt the ruling Golkar Party to replace him as its nominee in the presidential vote later today.
Soon after the vote against Habibie, the special assembly endorsed East Timor's independence referendum, paving the way for the half-island territory to become the world's newest nation.
The decision brought some closure to an emotional issue, although the threat of attacks by pro-Indonesia militias remains a serious concern for the international peacekeeping force in East Timor.
The actual handover of the territory to a United Nations transitional team is expected by the end of the year.
Habibie was appointed to take control of the presidency when authori
tarian President Suharto, his mentor, stepped down in the face of violent protests after 32 years of iron-fisted rule.
In an emotional speech Monday,
Habibie urged Indonesians to let him stay in office to continue democratic reforms.
"I don't want to say goodbye. I don't want to bid farewell," he told several hundred soldiers and police at a national monument in central Jakarta.
Even before the assembly vote, Habibie's chances of staying in office were in serious doubt after Gen. Wiranto, the defense minister and commander of Indonesia's powerful military, refused an invitation to be his vice presidential candidate.
Habibie had been expected to stand as Golkar's candidate against Megawati Sukarnoputri, the daughter of the country's first president, and Abdurrahman Wahid, the founder of the Muslim-oriented National Awakening Party.
The special assembly spent yesterday in speeches and statements before finally bringing up the secret ballot vote on Habibie.
The vote count went on past midnight, and when it became clear Habible would lose, cheers erupted from some people in the hall.
The assembly then endorsed East Timor's Aug. 30 vote to break away from Indonesia, which took control of the former Portuguese colony in 1975.
East Timor's overwhelming vote for independence led to a wave of killing, looting and arson by pro-Indonesian militias and their Indonesian military allies that only ended with the deployment of an Australian-led multinational peace

keeping force.
As the assembly debated, thousands demonstrated outside in the streets of the capital, Jakarta.
A line of riot police kept flag-waving demonstrators from rival political camps apart at the city's main traffic circle, a focal point of protests. Later, several thousand Megawati supporters gathered there.
As many as 5,000 Habibie supporters marched from the central business district toward parliament demanding the legislature not elect Megawati, whose party won the most of seats in parliament in a June election but failed to win a majority.
Habibie, Wiranto and Jakarta's police chief had issued stern warnings that they will not tolerate demonstrations that close main Jakarta thoroughfares.
Twice last week, police and soldiers fired tear gas and plastic bullets to disperse large, anti-Habibie demonstrations outside parliament and in the city's business center. Dozens of people were hospitalized or arrested.
Since then, daily protests have been held at major crossings in the capital, but they have remained peaceful.
Members will return later today for the scheduled presidential selection.

"Learning your identity is a constant process, and you need to take enough effort to understand either culture before you decide where you belong."

BALANCING
Students torn between two cultures grapple with identity
story by irina rodriguez
G
baike Ajayi, Lawrence senior, does not have an accent when she speaks English — yet something in the way she talks makes people ask where she is from once before they know
her name.
"I have no idea what it is — whether it's my views and ideas, different perception of the pop culture or my perception of the Black people." Alavi said.
Aajay herself has difficulty defining her national identity. Her family came to the United States from Nigeria when she was 11 years old. Like many people whose families immigrated here, Aajay feels a strong pull from both cultures and struggles with her identity.
"When I went to study abroad in France, I was perceived as an American, but when I'm among the Americans, I feelI'm different," she said. "I spent exactly half of my life in Nigeria and half in the United States, and I don't feel quite American."
"In history classes I can't fully participate in discussions because I feel I'm an outsider," she said. "I feel that I take naive viewpoints, and I don't have a right of voice because I have no personal relation to the events. My forefathers didn't live here."
Many people without roots in this country share Ajayi's feeling of not being quite American. Their appearance and manners might not stand out as foreign, but their homelife culture is often distinct.
Though Ajayi wears jeans and T-shirts like any student in the United States, and her relatives tell her she has become Americanized, she still feels out of place.
The Roeland Park graduate student was born in Kansas City to an American father and a Chilean mother one year after his mother came to the United States. He considers himself Chilean-American and feels equally close to his family in Chile and in the United States, even though at home he always sensed that they were not from here.
Lentil soup, a Chilean staple, was served at Marvin Grilliot's dinner table instead of hamburgers.
"Ours is a very Chilean home." Grilliot said.
illustration by kyle ramsey
Because his father worked long hours, his mother oversaw his upbringing.
Grilliot is a Latin American studies student. He has been to Chile five times.
"My life will always be connected to Chile and Latin America." Grillid said.
First-generation Americans such as Grilliot and their immigrant parents never fully assimilate, said David Katzman, professor of American Studies, whose research deals with race and ethnicity issues.
"Even though they acquire elements of a new culture, they also maintain their original one." Katzman said.
There is no common denominator in the ways first or second-generation Americans assimilate to the new culture. Degrees of assimilation vary with particular circumstances and characters. Some people, such as Grillot, return again and again to their country of historic origin. Others can hardly speak their parents' language. Some swallow American culture whole.
Katzman said that influences affecting assimilation ranged from individual, cultural and social factors to the parents' attitudes, the demands of the other culture and different life cycles.
"Some view the culture positively or negatively, some are ashamed and others are proud, and some are forced to assimilate because of the political situation in the country," Katzman said. "During the Second World War, nationalism in the United States caused negative attitudes towards Japanese or German cultures. Later, people took pride in those cultures again."
He said that adolescents, who were particularly sensitive to different attitudes and subject to peer pressure, tended to be more ashamed of their parents' different customs and tried to behave more American.
Recent KU graduate Lata Murti, who was born in the United States to Indian parents, said she felt more American than anything else, though she tried to take the best from both cultures.
"Learning your identity is a constant process, and you need to take enough effort to understand either culture before you decide
ACT
where you belong." Murti said.
Murti takes great interest in studying Hindu culture and religion, but she calls herself an "academic Hindu" because she doesn't actively practice the religion. She preserves many elements of her culture, such as an icon of the god important to her family, to which she prays whenever she feels especially worried.
Murti said that her background and dark skin often caused a lot of misunderstandings. When she was in Costa Rica, she had to explain to people on a daily basis that she was American even though her parents were from India, she said.
"Men saw me as exotic and mystical because my parents are from India," Murti said. "A lot of times they took me for what I represent, and not for what I really am."
Other misunderstandings new Americans confront are language stereotypes. Muri said she lost her ability to speak Tamil, her parents' native language, when she habitually responded to them in English during her childhood. However, people often assume her English skills are impaired when they hear her non-American name. When Murti worked at Southwestern Bell, an angry customer asked how long she had lived in the country because he thought she couldn't understand him.
Grilliot, whose first language was Spanish, said he was angry when they placed him in the speech therapy in the first grade because he was speaking English with a slight accent.
Katzman said that language was a powerful carrier of culture and that people whose first language was not English preserved a distinct culture and background for the rest of their lives, even if they adopted the elements of another culture.
"A lot of times they look down on people who speak with an accent," Katzman said. "But I usually say that it means that they speak more than one language, and it enriches them."

Players look to grab win,turn around losing-streak woes
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
The Jayhawks will take on the No. 21 Colorado Buffaloes at 7 tonight in Boulder, Colo., concluding a three-match streak in which Kansas has faced three nationally ranked teams.
That stretch includes a loss last week at then No. 13 Kansas State in Manhattan, Kan., and a loss to No. 16 Texas A&M on Friday night in Allen Fieldhouse.
The Kansas volleyball team has had its fair share of ranked opposition lately.
Now comes the match against Colorado — a team the Jayhawks haven't beaten since 1987 and haven't taken a game from since 1995.
"They play really well at home, and they are a combination of maturity and youthfulness," said Kansas coach Ray Bechard. "They've got two freshmen in the lineup, and they've got three
That loss could be blamed on a lack of rest for the Jayhawks. The match against the Aggies was their second in three days, and the Jayhawks' tired play may have been a result.
"We thought we needed that," Bechard said. "We're fighting a lot of stuff and it's a busy time of year. The teams that can manage all that and get better are the teams that can move forward."
The team has since taken Saturday and Sunday off and regrouped with practices Monday and yesterday.
The Jayhawks have hit a bump in the road themselves. They are mired in a two-match losing streak, which has dropped their overall record to 13-6 and dropped their Big 12 Conference record to 4-4. Kansas fought hard in the 3-1 loss to K-State but was shackled in the 3-0 loss to Texas A&M.
The Jayhawks hope to move forward against a Colorado team that comes into the match 11-6 overall and 5-3 in the Big 12. The Buffaloes were swept on the road by No. 10 Texas Oct.13. They then rebounded with a sweep of their own against Missouri on Saturday in
seniors. They will play well for an extended period of time, and then they'll have a little bit of a bump in the road because there is some youth involved."
"We're fighting a lot of stuff and it's a busy time of year. The teams that can manage all that and get better are the teams that can move forward."
Ray Bechard Kansas volleyball coach
Boulder.
Buffaloes outside hitter Sonja Nielsen leads the team in both kills (231), and digs (215). Setter Kelly Campbell paces the team with 826 assists.
Historically speaking, a Jayhawk win isn't likely. Kansas never has beaten a ranked opponent, and has knocked-off the Buffaloes only twice in 26 attempts.
But the Jayhawks know anything is possible.
"We can compete with anybody in the league," said Kansas middle blocker Annie Kreimer. "But we have to go out there with a positive attitude and with winning in mind."

Top recruit verbally commits to Kansas
Stevenson impressed with Late Night visit

Kansan sportswriter
Kansas coach Roy Williams has labeled this year's recruiting as a nonnecessity, but it may be a year remembered for exactly that.
"Stevenson is a sensational athlete, and a superb three-point shooter."
Monday night, the Jayhawks received a verbal commitment from DeShawn Stevenson, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Fresno, Calif., who has been in most recruiting analysts' top-five list of prospects.
recruiting expert Bob Gibbons wrote on his Web site www.allstarreport.com. "He will be an impact player at Kansas as a freshman."
Stevenson, who previously had said that he would wait until the spring signing period to commit to a school, apparently has gone back on his word and given it to Kansas
encouraging, the commitment remains verbal, meaning that Stevenson is not vet tied down to anything.
However, he also told Caywood that he planned to sign during the early signing period that begins November 10 which means his verbal commitment should be solid.
At Friday's Late Night with Roy Williams, Kansas' opening practice of the season, the efforts to recruit both Stevenson and Travon Bryant, a 6-foot-9 forward from Long Beach, Calif., who were in attendance, kicked into high gear.
The players strolled in, Stevenson in a red football jersey bearing the number 72 with a gold chain around his neck and Bryant in an all-gray sweat suit. As they took their spots at half-court on Allen Fieldhouse's west side, the antics
According to reports,
"Stevenson is a sensational athlete, and a superb three-point shooter. He will be an impact player at Kansas as a freshman."
Bob Gibbons Recruiting expert
the news of Stevenson's intention broke during a telephone interview with Kurt Caywood of the Topeka-Capitol Journal. Caywood contacted Stevenson inquiring about his impressions of Late Night, which he visited Friday. It was during that call that Stevenson said that he would call Williams Monday night and tell him he was committing to Kansas.
began.
As the high schoolers waited for the festivities to begin, along with about 16,300 other fans, two members of Kansas' spirit squad scurried onto the court and proceeded to take a lap around the perimeter holding homemade, 10-foot-square jerseys that resembled Kansas' and had Stevenson's name and number 0 on

Francis finds time for family and Jayhawk soccer

This season's success already includes a school record for wins, and four regular season games still remain. Within the team's success has been a close-knit family concept that has encompassed the team since coach Mark Francis arrived in Lawrence last December.
For the Kansas soccer team, success runs in the family.
The Jayhawks have basic comparisons to family that many sport teams possess. They travel together, practice together and eat team dinners together.
It begins with Francis and carries down through his players. In his media guide profile, Francis said his worst fear was "when I die, looking back and regretting not spending more time with my family." His solution to this concern has been making the family a part of all he does, and in the process that has helped his team grow.
Francis' wife, Tiffany, and children Carlin, 7, Hayley, 6, and Caleb, 4, come to the end of practices a few days a week just to spend time with their dad. He also brought them on the trip to
But for this team, the concept of family goes much deeper.
Nebraska and Iowa State last weekend.
"They loved it," Francis said. "Other than losing both games they had a great time. It wasn't detrimental to the team and was probably good for the team to have them around."
Francis's children got to spend time with 19 of their "older sisters" on the Kansas soccer team. Amid watching movies, studying and listening to music on the bus, Francis's children played cards with freshmen Bridget Goyen and Brianna Valento, climbed on seniors Laura Rohde and Lindsey Loeffler and iked with junior Johanna Larsson.
After being cared for by their mother
during the pregame practice at Nebraska Thursday evening, Francis stayed around afterward to work on Caleb's goalkeeping skills.
They played with sophomore Allie Heyworth and junior Katie Lents, too. Heyworth chased them and played tag before leaving the hotel for Iowa State. While stopped for lunch in Iowa, Lents window-shopped with Tiffany Francis and carried Hayley on her back.
Francis said that he believed the presence of his children had benefited his players.

Fun in games and winning go together
Deep down it's all about having fun.
Senior wide receiver Michael Chandler, after a frustrating loss to Texas A&M, said "..all I care about is winning, and we're 2-5. I've never felt this bad. It's horrible."
Junior Kenny Gregory said about last season, "Basketball at one point became something I had to do, not something I wanted to do."
These guys weren't having fun.
I just returned from the University of Indiana yesterday. I was there with fellow School of Journalism student Liz Wristen accepting a scholarship from the Roy W. Howard National Reporting Competition. According to scholarship money in fun.
While we were there, we got to meet Tom French, reporter at the St. Petersburg Times and Pulitzer Prize win.
ner. He talked to us about having fun.
I imagine that winning a Pulitzer is fun.
I
I thought about how fun must apply to athletes. You always hear about the "Love for the game," but how important is having fun on the sports field? Can teams win
Seth Jones sports columnist sportss@kansan.com
"Fun is an underrated thing in what we do today," Tom said to us. "Having fun is important."
I watched a little of the Kansas women's soccer practice the other day. They have fun. When jogging from one field to the other, several ambush-style piggyback rides were in effect. Players running with soccer balls are susceptible to getting the ball kicked off their foot. The volume of the team is cheerful.
in a sheer business-like fashion? Did John Wooden ever smile as he won national championship after national championship?
"We know when to have fun and when to be serious." Bridget told me.
Everyone on the team has a nickname. During a game, when the team is down, rally caps are worn on the sideline. The caps consist of T-shirts worn inside on their heads. Dying their hair outrageous colors is considered simply a way of showing dedication.
When team sports become work, the desire to win is lost in the effort. It's like Cuba Gooding Jr. in Jerry Maguire. It's all about "Showin' you the money," Tom Cruise warned. When the enjoyment is lost, so is the game.
Do the players on the Jayhawk secondary enjoy Saturday games? I wonder if they're happy with each other. They've been getting burned so often lately that the only type of Jayhawk available is the extra-crispy kind. Honey-smoked Jayhawk ran out three weeks ago.
Of course, the fun police can't have fun when the coach is yelling at them.
I'd consider the soccer team the fun police of Kamas.
You remember the fun police, don't you? NBA stars running around, making sure everyone was having fun. Kevin Garnett checks into a slow-paced junior high game and livens it up with some monster dunks. Damon Stoudamire tries to convince a young ball hog to pass the ball while his parents look on. Gary Peyton tries to teach little kids the proper method of trash talk.
I sat down and talked with Bridget Goyen, freshman midfielder for the women's soccer team. Bridget told me how important fun is to this team.
"Our team is all about having fun," she said. "You've got to have fun, or you're not playing for the right reason."
This upcoming weekend involves a lot of Kansas sporting events. From soccer to rowing, football to swimming, many Javahawk athletes will be in action.
I ask those teams to heed the words of Pulitzer Prize winner Tom French by remembering to have fun.
Ultimately, the goal is to win. And winning is fun.

that happens!
Taurus: Today is a 7.
Today gather with friends to make things happen. You have lots of good ideas, and so do they. You may finally figure out how to make the money you need. And, best of all, you could do it in a way that's fun for everybody. Have that be your goal.
Gemini: Today is a 7.
You look good today. You could be offered a good deal, but there are complications. That may be when your luck kicks in. Don't try to figure it out for yourself. Get an expert's advice and avoid an unpleasant surprise.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
Your imagination could kick in with an impossible idea. Could you make a dream come true? I'll take some doing, but that's OK. Start by figuring out where you want to go and with whom. Head in the right direction, or you'll never get there.
Leo: Today is a 5.
You've got the urge, but you shouldn't splurge. Wait until tomorrow to do that. Sometimes you can follow a hunch, but that's not recommended now. If you want to give a gift, fine. If you want a good deal, wait.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
Are you ready to make some changes? Everything's going according to plan, but not for long. Expect the unexpected and don't dismay. Your partner will be a big help. Together, you'll do fine.
Libra: Todav is a 6.
This is a good day for fantasy and a terrible day for reality. You won't want to go there, at all. Better stay in a familiar environment. If you get off track, you could get lost, and that's no fun at all!
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
You don't have as much money as you'd like for a romantic interlude. Don't worry about it. If you're with the right person, it won't make a bit of difference. If you're not, you'll find out.

Brett receives offer to manage Cleveland
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — George Brett again is getting attention as a possible major league manager — this time for the Cleveland Indians, who are seeking a successor to the fired Mike Hardrove.
BASEBALL
LAUTORIAL DE LA PRACTICA DEL CONFLICTO
The call from Cleveland came about the same time as Brett's conversation last week with the Colorado Rockies, who were left with a vacancy when Jim Leyland retired. The Rockies now appear likely to hire Buddy Bell as a replacement.
Brett told The Kansas City Star late Monday he was contacted last week by former Kansas City Royals teammate Buddy Black, now an assistant to Indians general manager John Hart.
Brett, a 1999 Hall of Fame inductee and Kansas City Royals vice president, hasn't given details of either conversation and said he hasn't discussed the Cleveland possibility with his wife, Leslie.
The Indians have said Hargrove's successor needed not have managerial experience. Brett has none and realizes he would have to rely on experienced coaches on his staff.
Brett played his entire career with the Royals but has not ruled out leaving the club, which is still without ownership.
Buddy Bell may take Rockies manager job
DENVER -- Buddy Bell probably was offered the Colorado Rockies' managing job yesterday and an announcement could come today, the Rocky Mountain News and The Denver Post reported.
The Rockies confirmed that Bell was at the team's offices and speaking with the owners and general manager Dan O'Dowd.
"At this time, that's as far as it's
gone," said team representative Jay Alves.
The former manager of the Detroit Tigers would replace Jim Leyland, who retired after the season.
The Rockies want Bell to move to Denver. They don't want a repeat of

The 24-year-old defensive back has an unspecified infection of the throat and lungs. He has been sedated for most of this week and has undergone three surgical procedures to clear fluid from his throat and around his lungs.
Lenox Hill Hospital has honored a family request to withhold information on Williams' condition. The Jets will not elaborate until coach Bill Parcells meets with the media today.
Williams' mother and other family members traveled from Arkansas last week to be with him.

"It must be a funny feeling to go back into the stadium where you used to play and play against your old team," Alexander said last month when Carter came in as a member of the Denver Broncos. Then Alexander added, "I know it's going to feel funny to me when we go to Baltimore."
KANAS CITY, Mo. — When Dale Carter first returned to Kansas City after starring in the Chiefs' defensive secondary for most of this decade, Derrick Alexander was intrigued.
Now that day is about to arrive. Alexander, who leads the Chiefs with 379 yards in pass receptions, will get his first look at his former fans and teammates when the Chiefs (3-2) play the Ravens (2-3) tomorrow night in Baltimore.

Fifteen high school athletes suspended
The Associated Press
OLATHE — Fifteen members of the Olathe East High School football team have been suspended for one game after taking a dietary supplement that was blamed for one player's collapse last week.
action because the supplement was beyond expectations for the school.
The over-the-counter supplement,
Ripped Fuel, can be bought legally at nutrition stores and is supposed to stimulate performance, said Olathe East principal Karl Krawitz.
Although it does not violate the school district's substance abuse policy, Krawitz said the school took
beyond expectations for the school. During a closed meeting with coaches, teammates and parents, the suspended players were very apologetic, not only to their teammates but also to their coaches and the school, Krawitz said.
The supplement is not recommended for use by people younger than 18 years old. Its label says the recommended dosage is two capsules three times a day with a maximum of six capsules daily.
The player who fainted immediately following Friday night's 35-6
loss to Olathe South had taken four capsules during the 2 1/2-hour game, according to Jeff Meyers, Olathe East football coach. Meyers said the player was having breathing problems.
A call was made to 911, he said, but once medical personnel arrived, they decided there was no need to take the player to a hospital. Olathe East canceled its junior varsity game Saturday because the team doctor told Meyers that no player should compete within 48 hours of having taken the supplement.
Francis brings Jayhawks together as family
Continued from page 1B
"I think they enjoy having them there," Francis said. "They are really good with them, and it gives them an introduction to having young (children) around."
Back on the bus, the Francis family spent time together watching the Disney film The Prince of Egypt while most of the players napped. Mark Francis tended to family needs, as well as team needs, as he has done on a daily basis while trying to successfully balance fatherhood and coaching.
"I'm trying to [balance time well]." Francis said. "This was
the first time they've come on the road on a bus trip, and I think they did a good job. They behaved themselves and had fun."
The team has grown as a family through the Francis image. Constant laughter is heard on the team bus as players share inside jokes. Bonding activities such as making a team time capsule also occurred. Even at their hotel, the girls piled into one room to watch American Pie together.
The players agree that the success began with Francis, and they think he is here to stay.
"I see him being here a long
time, Loebert said. When you see a coach come in and you see people's attitudes change, that's when you know they're effective." As the bus rolled down Interstate 70 heading back to Lawrence on Sunday night, a few lights glimmered above athletes who were finishing their weekend homework. But for many, the lights were out. After covering more than 800 miles of road and playing two soccer games, most of the players went to sleep, and so did Caleb who rested soundly in his father's arms.

Defense characterizes Big 12 teams
By Michael Riggs sports@kanson.com Konson sportwriter
Pay heed, football conferences across the nation; the Big 12 Conference is getting downright defensive.
The conference boasts five of the top 11 defenses in the nation, and Kansas State, which is ranked No. 5, earned its second shutout of the season last week in a 40-0 defeat against Utah State.
"I thought our defense played very well," said Wildcats coach Bill Snyder. "There were very few mistakes that I am aware of at this particular point in time."

Also on the defensive domination list is Nebraska, third in the nation; Oklahoma State, fourth; Texas A&M, eighth; and Texas, 10th.

Simmons said.
Simmons said he was unaware of his injured
quarterback's status doesn't mean that Lindsay will be held out against the Wildcats. Rumors have surfaced in Oklahoma media circles that Simmons was keeping Lindsay's health a secret in hopes of surprising the Wildcats on Saturday.
Lindsay originally injured his knee in Oklahoma State's season opener against Louisiana-Lafavette and hasn't played since. This week, Lindsay was upgraded from "out"
to "doubtful."
"Tony is still going through rehab," Simmons said. "The position that we're in with him is that he will continue rehab and go through the reconstruction of that knee, and we'll see what happens toward the middle and end of the week."
The Cowboys have not defeated the Wildcats since 1989.

recent memory. The win gave the Cyclones their first conference win on the road since 1991. It also firmly may entrench Iowa State running back Darren Davis among the nation's elite.
Although against the Tigers he was held to 111 yards on 29 carries, which is 40 yards less than his average, Davis still ranks No. 4 nationally with 154.2 yards per game.
Perhaps even more remarkable is his ability to hold onto the football, as Davis has fumbled just three times since 1996 and has not lost a fumble in 791 career carries. According to research done by the University of Houston, these stats put Davis as the most sure-handed runner in the nation.
"We are obviously going to try

toughest football players I have been around, so it's a joy and honor and privilege for me to coach him."
Iowa State will try to continue its winning ways at home on Saturday against Colorado. The Buffaloes have not lost to the Cyclones since 1983.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida State's Peter Warrick could play Saturday against Clemson in a deal that would send him to jail for a month early next year, the star receiver's lawyer said yesterday.
The Associated Press
Warrick was considered the leading candidate for the Heisman Trophy when he was suspended Oct. 7 following his arrest on a felony grand theft charge. He has missed the top-ranked Seminoles' last two games.
That could change today if Circuit Court Judge John Crusoe accepts a plea agreement reached by Warrick's lawyer John Kenny and the Leon County state attorney to reduce the charge to petty theft—a misdemeanor.
Warrick and former teammate Laveranues
Florida State receiver may play following arrest
The agreement would require Warrick to spend 30 days in jail, donate to charity the clothing he acquired in three trips to a Dillard's store, pay $295 in court costs, stay away from the department store and serve a year's probation.
Coles were charged with buying more than $400 of designer clothes Sept. 29 for $21.40 from a store clerk, who also is charged. A security camera recorded the transaction.
"They wanted the 30 days to offer a misdemeanor," Kenny said yesterday. "That's pretty standard when looking at felony cases. They worked very hard to look at Mr. Warrick not as a football player."
Warrick could have avoided jail time, but not if he wanted to have a shot at playing again this season.
prove it was a petty theft, but those are not viable options when Peter wants to make himself available to the university as quickly as possible." Kenny said.
Warrick caught 36 passes for 508 yards and four touchdowns in Florida State's first five games. He also threw a touchdown pass, ran back a punt for another and ran from scrimmage for a touchdown.
"He looked at the options of going to trial to
Whether Warrick will be able to contribute against Clemson will depend on Crusoe
"The judge still needs to accept it," Kenny said yesterday. "I anticipate he will. It's a fair resolution for the state attorney's office and the best resolution for Peter to give him the greatest possibility for the university reinstating him and allowing him to play football. Now it's in their corner."

Braves hold off Mets rally, win series
On a night that had even more drama than the Mets' 4-3, 15-inning victory Sunday at Shea Stadium, the teams gave a roaring, raucous crowd of 52,335 all it could handle.
Andruw Jones drew a baseloaded walk from Kenny Rogers with one out in the 11th inning, and the Braves survived a final string of Mets' comebacks, beating New York 10-9 yesterday to win the National League Championship Series 4-2.
The Associated Press
The Braves wrecked the Mets' hopes of a Subway Series and advanced to the World Series to face the New York Yankees. Game One in the rematch of the 1996 Series will be Saturday night at Turner Field.
But after the Mets took a 9-8 lead on Todd Prunt's sacrifice fly in the 10th, the Braves tied it in the bottom of the inning on pinch-hitter Ozzie Guillen's single.
The Mets, who trailed 5-0 in the first inning, looked like they might become the first team in postseason history to win three games in a row after losing the first three.
Then in the 11th, Gerald Williams led off with a double and

moved up on Walt Weiss' sacrifice bunt. Two intentional walks loaded the bases for Jones, and he worked the count full before taking a ball high and outside.
Torre regains spirit after battle with cancer
The Associated Press
"All of a sudden, my stomach started hurting and I realized the passion was there," he said early
BOSTON — For months, Joe Torre didn't know if he cared enough to keep managing. Congor will do that.
yesterday after leading New York past Boston and into the World Series for the third time in his four seasons.
He is the fifth Yankees' manager to win three pennants, joining Casey Stengel (10), Joe McCarthy (eight), Miller Huggins (six) and Ralph Houk (three).
Then, last month in Toronto's SkyDome, with the Yankees' division lead dwindling, he learned something about himself.
But for a while, he wasn't sure

he belonged.
After a doctor diagnosed cancer in Torre during spring training he left the team March 10. He had surgery eight days later and didn't rejoin the Yankees until May 18.
"When that whole thing started with the prostate cancer in spring training, you really didn't care about baseball," he said, trying to put his team's season and his life in perspective.
when you're going through your recovery, you're not sure if you're going to care when you get back. Then, once I got back, it was sort of like, let me study myself."
"You go through that — and
When Torre rejoined the team, he drifted along, as his team did for much of the 1999 season.
"I know a lot of my players had said I was a little bit different because I sort of had this philosophy or perspective that it's only a game of baseball," Torre said.

Jerusalem prepares for millennium rush
Jewish inspectors learn Christianity for influx of pilgrims
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM—Customs inspector Nadav Shattel, a religious Jew, had never set foot in a church before.
He looked around in wonder yesterday as he and his colleagues were led along the cavernous, incense-filled Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the site of Jesus' burial — all in the line of duty.
The Israeli inspectors, along with taxi drivers, airport workers and police officers, are being taught the
basics of Christianity in a course the Tourism Ministry hopes will help them handle the millions of millennium pilgrims with greater care.
In a daylong seminar, historian Doron Bar gently guided 15 inspectors through the life of Jesus, the teachings of Paul the Apostle and the maze of different denominations.
"It all emerged from this small country." Bar said as he tapped a map of Israel. "And that's why all of these people are coming here."
Using a slide projector, he flashed images of different types of crosses and showed a cross-section of pilgrims from around the world, commenting on their different religious customs.
One picture showed Brazilian pilgrims swaying and waving their hands in prayer outside the Old City walls. The Brazilians, Bar explained, tend to be among the most expressive in showing their faith.
Rabbi David Rosen, who has been trying to promote Jewish-Christian dialogue, welcomed the government's efforts to prepare the tourism industry for the expected influx of pilgrims.
But he said the opportunity to use the millennium to educate Israelis about Christianity and visitors about Judaism largely had been missed.
The Tourism Ministry said it simply hoped to cut down on misunderstandings and make tourism workers more sensitive to the needs of
A course for police commanders will include a section on how to identify and deal with possibly volatile pilgrims who come to the Holy Land expecting an apocalyse ushering in the Second Coming of Jesus.
Officials in Israel fears it could become a target for Christian doomsday groups and has set up a special police unit to prevent cultists from passing through border controls.
pilgrims.
Tourism officials recently acknowledged that the number of visitors may not greatly exceed the annual average. Some 3 million tourists are expected in 2000, about half the forecasts made several years ago.
Pentagon reveals whereabouts of nuclear weapons
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—The Pentagon is acknowledging for the first time the locations of U.S. nuclear weapons outside of the United States during the Cold War, including naval depth bombs in Cuba during the 1962 missile crisis that brought America close to war with the Soviet Union.
The names of nine places where bombs or bomb components minus their nuclear charges were located between 1951 and 1977 are revealed in a 332-page official Pentagon history. The names of 18 other locations were blacked out by government censors before the document was released to Robert S. Norris, a private specialist on nuclear weapons and author of numerous books on the topic.
Using other documents, Norris and his co-authors said they could
identify 17 of those other locations, ringing the globe from Canada to Iceland to South Korea and Japan.
The nine nuclear weapon locations named in the Pentagon document are Cuba, Puerto Rico, Britain, West Germany, the U.S. territories of Guam, Johnston Island and Midway, Alaska and Hawaii, which were U.S. territories in the early years of the Cold War.
Even with material blacked out, the "History of the Custody and Deployment of Nuclear Weapons," published in February 1978 as a top secret document, reveals new information about the location, timing and types of U.S. nuclear weapon deployments.
"It shows a huge expanse of nuclear weapons around the globe." Norris said in an interview yesterday.
The narrative portion of the
Pentagon history makes no reference to U.S. nuclear weapons in Cuba, but an appendix listing locations outside the continental United States says that an unspecified number of non-nuclear depth bombs were stored in Cuba between December 1961 and July-September 1963.The crisis about Moscow's stationing of surface-to-air nuclear missiles in Cuba was in October 1962.
The term non-nuclear referred to components, such as bomb casings or assemblies, for nuclear weapons, the report said. At that time, bomb design technology required that the actual nuclear charge, or capsule, be kept separate from the non-nuclear assembly. In the event of war, capsules could be flown to bases where they would be inserted into the assemblies to make complete bombs.
Depth bombs were weapons dropped from airplanes or helicopters to dive into the sea to kill submarines. The last of this kind of nuclear weapon was retired from the U.S. arsenal early in this decade.
Graham Allison, a former Pentagon official who is an expert on the Cuban missile crisis, said in a telephone interview he was not aware that nuclear weapon components had been stored in Cuba. He said they probably were at Guantanamo Bay, a U.S. Navy base on the eastern tip of the island.
Details about locations of American nuclear weapons abroad are among the most closely protected Pentagon secrets. Today the only remaining full-time U.S. nuclear deployments outside the United States are in Europe, where bombs are stored for potential use by U.S. Air Force planes based there.

Early enrollment, priority housing entice scholars
By Nathan Willis
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The perks of being a National Merit Scholar at the University of Kansas just got a little better.
Not only do merit scholars receive full rides from the University and priority placement in campus housing, but two letters that showed up in merit scholars' mailboxes late last week also announced two new benefits, including priority enrollment starting Friday.
"In the event you are not able to enroll in the classes you need, show this letter to the Enrollment Center supervisor," an Oct. 13 letter from interim Assistant Provost Diana Carlin told merit scholars. "They will then give you a special National Merit Completion Form."
Upon obtaining the form, merit scholars will be able go to the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center or the Honors Program in Numemaker Center to discuss their options.
Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, director of the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, said advisers first would try to find alternative classes that merit scholarships could take to meet their needs. If that was not possible, advisers could contact faculty members to try to get the merit scholars into the closed classes they wanted, Tuttle said.
Many merit scholars expressed excitement over the new policy — coupled with a sense that being able to have extra help getting into classes might be a tad unfair.
Though any student can receive similar help, the difference with merit scholars is that they will be able to make the changes to their schedules immediately. Tuttle said. Other students will have to wait until the first add/drop period begins on Nov. 19.
"Ifeel guilty about it," said Susan Dunavan, Charlottesville, Va., junior and merit scholar. "But I definitely use it if I need to."
On the other hand, Carlin pointed out that giving certain groups priority enrollment was nothing new.
"There are some other groups on campus that receive similar treatment," she said. "Athletes always get to enroll early because of their schedules. And for that matter, is it even fair to only let graduating seniors enroll first?"
Additionally, Carlin said merit scholars had enrollment needs that other groups often did not.
"A lot of the National Merit Scholars are on the fast track to graduate in three years," Carlin said. "In addition, they might need in some honors classes that are filled. They have some special needs."
Dan Freeman, Lawrence freshman, disagreed.
“This college is not built around National Merit Finalists,” said Freeman, who missed qualifying for National Merit Semifinalist status by one point on the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test. “Is it fair that the people that came in ‘smarter’ on one test one day get preferential treatment from the University?”
Priority enrollment isn't good just for merit scholars, though. Merit scholars it also gives recruiters extra ammunition to get the scholars to choose the University.
Derrick Birdseil, Hesston freshman and merit scholar, said he wasn't surprised at all by the letter.
"They had told me when they were recruiting me that National Merit Scholars would get whatever classes they needed to have," Birdsdell said.
Birdseil and the 100 other incoming merit scholars were given first choice in orientation and enrollment sessions this summer, allowing them to enroll first and get the first pick of classes among the freshmen. Carlin said.
Birdsdell said the priority enrollment helped him get every class he wanted.
"This is really a good thing," he said. "It allows me to explore options for a major."
Birdsell said that although he thought merit scholars were deserving of what they were getting, that he might think differently if he weren't receiving the benefits.
In addition to Carlin's letter, merit scholars received a letter dated Oct. 15 from Chancellor Robert Hemenway that told them they would be recognized at halftime of the Nov. 6 football game against Baylor. Families of merit scholars can attend the game for free, the letter said.
"It would be foolish for me not to take advantage of these things," he said. "But I know I would be really mad if I weren't a National Merit Scholar."

Clouding the brain with smoke College students ignore hazards of cigarettes Story by Heather Woodward Photos by Matt J. Daugherty
like high school students, peer pressure is a main reason why college student begin to smoke. Others say advertising is why college students start. photo by Matt J. Daugherty
It began in a girls' high school restroom.
Sarah Johnson and her friend snuck into the bathroom to try some chewing tobacco. The pair was curious after seeing another friend use it in study hall.
Johnson, Council Bluffs, Iowa, sophomore, kept chewing and became addicted to nicotine.
When she moved to Lawrence, she switched to smoking cigarettes.
"I'm from a small town, and here it's just not as acceptable to chew, so I started smoking." Johnson said.
Like Johnson, many students start smoking during college. Nicotine is a highly addictive drug, making it hard for smokers to quit. The question is, why do people start at all?
Experts agree that peer pressure has as much to do with why college students start smoking as it does with their younger counterparts.
"There's a trend for more older people to start smoking once they get into college," said Julie Francis, a health educator at Watkins Memorial Health Center. "The reason is very simple. It's a social event."
impacted in some way by society."
Experts also blame the marketing practices of tobacco companies for making a smoker's lifestyle appear desirable.
"Marketing does have an impact on this," said John Wade, a staff psychologist at Counseling and Psychological Services. "Otherwise advertisers wouldn't spend millions of dollars. Everyone is
To combat such perceptions, Phillip Morris, the parent company to 19 brands of cigarettes including Marlboro and Parliament, added comments about responsible marketing to its Web site Oct. 14.
"Our goal is to meet and exceed society's diverse expectations ... including our support, development and implementation of youth smoking prevention initiatives," the Web site reads.
The alcohol factor
Cigarettes seen through beer goggles are even more attractive, some students say. There are those who smoke only when drinking, and regular smokers

Michael Henry, resolution sponsor, said Hemenway should heed students' wishes.
"For the chancellor to consider anything else is absurd," he said. "We need to remind him of what students want."
Jessica Bankston, legislation co-sponsor and a member of the Senate recreation task force last year, said an addition would be unfair because Robinson would remain a building designated for academic use.

Regents hope to resolve discrimination complaint
By Clay McCuslion
writer @kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
By Clay McCuistion
The Board of Regents wants to resolve the gender discrimination complaint filed by Christine Crenshaw, its associate director of fiscal affairs.
Kirk Lowry, Crenshaw's lawyer, said Mary Prewitt, associate general counsel for the Regents, wanted to talk about mediating Crenshaw's complaint, which was filed June 30 with the Kansas Human Rights Commission.
Lowry said Crenshaw, who has refused to
comment on the issue publicly, was agreeable to the idea.
"She's interested in sitting down and
Broad Room
talking with them," he said. "That's what she's always wanted."
Crenshaw's complaint alleged that her $57,569 annual salary was $20,000 less than salaries of men in similar jobs at the Regents office. Until the July 1 reorganization of the board, she was the director of student financial aid.
In the complaint, Crenshaw wrote that she had tried to bring the matter to the Regents' attention four times between June 1998 and March 1999.
"The Board of Regents' refusal to discuss in any way the pay inequity based on sex shows intentional, willful wage-based sex discrimination," she wrote.
"I can't even really acknowledge that there is a complaint." Prewitt said.
The Regents are required to respond to the complaint to the Human Rights Commission by tomorrow. Lowry said that if the Regents were interested in mediating the problem, he wasn't concerned with the deadline.
"As far as I'm concerned, that's between them and the Kansas Human Rights commission," he said.
Prewitt refused to say whether she would reply, or what the reply might be.
Lowry said he didn't know when the mediation might take place. The Topeka lawyer said he hoped Crenshaw and the Regents would iron out their differences before Dec. 30. After that, Lowry said, he legally could sue the board.
"They should address the historical problem, pay her back pay for the years of unequal pay and put her back in a position where she should be." he said.
While dealing with Crenshaw, the Regents are overseeing an investigation in pay equity based on race and gender at the six universities they govern directly. The study will be completed and reported by the end of the semester.
The Regents also came under scrutiny last week for hiring Mike Matson, Gov. Bill Graves' press secretary, at a $70,000 salary. Matson will be taking on some of the duties of the Regents' departing communications director, Barbara Conant, who was paid $44,000 a year.

New candidate enters 3rd District primary
A third Republican has announced his candidacy for the 3rd District U.S. House of Representatives seat occupied by Rep. Dennis Moore, D-Lenexa
State Rep. Phill Kline, R-Shawnee,
made the announcement yesterday. Kline
has been the 18th District representative in
the Kansas House since 1992.
He joins surgeon Jeff Colyer and city council member Greg Musil, both of Overland Park, in the Republican primary race.
"I think I'm the only person with proven legislative leadership," Kline said. "Mr. Moore's voting record has not been representative of the people and their concerns in this district. What he's demonstrated is that he is not the independent voice he's claimed to be."
Kline said that if he was elected he would work on financial issues such as downsizing the $5.7 trillion federal deficit, reducing taxes and limiting government spending.
"The government is too harsh, too burdened." he said.
Mark Wilson, Moore's press secretary, said he did not know when Moore would announce his candidacy for re-election.
"When the time is right, the congressman will present his vision to the public," Wilson said. "He's concentrating 100 percent on doing a good job for Kansas."
Kilne, 39, is the host of a radio show syndicated throughout the state. He is a 1987 alumnus of the University of Kansas School of Law.

Motel employee charged with murders at Yosemite
MARIPOSA, Calif.—A motel handman who investigators say confessed to killing three Yosemite National Park sightseers in February was charged yesterday with their murders.
change year. Cary Stayner, 38, was charged with three counts of murder that could bring the death penalty.
Investigators said Stayer confessed in late July to killing Carole Sund, 42, her daughter Juli Sund, 15, and their Argentine friend Silvia Pelosso, 16, while the three were visiting the park in February.
He also allegedly confessed to beheading Joie Ruth Armstrong, a 26-year-old Yosemite naturalist, on July 21.
The Sunds and Pelosso were last seen alive at the Cedar Lodge motel where Stayner worked. Stayner was also charged with burglary, robbery, forcible oral copulation and attempted rape.
Stayner was arrested at a nudist camp two days after Armstrong's slaying and was later charged with
her murder.
Investigators said they waited to charge Stayner in the sightseers' slayings until ruling out the possibility that he had accomplices.
Graffiti cleaned off grave of child beauty queen
MARIETTA, Ga. — Graffitil protesting the lack of indictments in the slaying of JonBenet Ramsey was cleaned off the 6-year-old girl's grave on yesterday.
Someone had scrawled "No Justice in U.S.A." in red marker on the plain marble slab covering the grave at St.
Ramsey: graffiti was written on her gravestone
James Episcopal Church
Cemetery, police
Lt. Rick
Townsend said
The vandalism was reported Monday, five days after a grand jury in Boulder, Colo., ended its 13-month investigation of the killing without indicting anone. A panel
appointed by Colorado Gov. Bill Owens is now considering whether a special prosecutor should be appointed.
The child beauty queen was found dead in her family's Boulder home the day after Christmas in 1996. Her parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, buried JonBenet in Marietta, northwest of Atlanta, and have since moved to the Atlanta area.
The couple has insisted they had nothing to do with their daughter's death, although Boulder police have said they remain under an umbrella of suspicion.
Townsend said police are investigat ing the vandalism at the grave, have no leads.
Woolly mammoth flown by helicopter to cave
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — A woolly mammoth preserved in ice has been excavated in Siberia and airlifted by helicopter to a cave where it will be kept frozen and studied by scientists.
The scientists, including Northern Arizona University mammoth expert Larry Agenbroad, recently excavated the nearly perfectly preserved adult male mammoth from the permafrost.
The mammoth was found in 1997 by a 9-year-old nomadic reindeer herder. By studying its teeth, scientists determined the 11-foot-tall mammoth to have been 47 years old. The lifespan of a mammoth is about 60 years.
Encased in an ice block, the mammoth was flown 200 miles by helicopter Sunday from the Taimyr
Peninsula in Siberia to the city of Khatanga. The Discovery Channel, which is covering the expedition, released footage of the transport on Monday.
The mammoth will be kept frozen there in an underground tunnel. Besides analyzing dirt, pollen, and even its stomach contents, a primary task is to extract DNA for cloning.
After studying the fossilized remains of mammoths for more than 30 years, Agenbroad called the experience of petting the hair of the mammoth fantastic. He said it may take months to determine cloning prospects.
Other scientists not involved in the project have said it is unlikely the cloning will succeed.
Japanese diplomat named UNESCO director
PARIS — Koichiro Matsuura, a Japanese diplomat, was nominated yesterday to become the director of UNESCO.
WORLD
The executive board of the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization selected Matsuura following a campaign for the post that laid bare some regional rivalries.
Matsuraa, Japan's ambassador to France since 1994 and current head of the U.N. World Heritage Committee, is almost certain to be confirmed as UNESCO's director-general by the agency's General Conference on Nov. 12.
His main U.N. experience was with the heritage committee, which designates and seeks to protect areas of historical and natural value.
Matsura was picked from a field of four candidates in a third round of voting by the Paris-based UNESCO board. He got 34 of 58 votes, winning out against contenders from Asia, the Middle East and Europe.
The other finalists included Ghazi Algosaibi, Saudi Arabia's ambassador to Britain and Ismail Serageldin of Egypt, vice president of the World Bank.
Outgoing UNESCO Director- General Federico Mayor had said he wanted to see somebody who was independent lead UNESCO. But he also told reporters that qualified candidates from Asia, the Arab world or eastern Europe would have preference.
Some of those candidates creat ed Web sites to promote their views on issues ranging from human rights to the empowerment of women.

Reno report criticizes clemency
Senators ask why victims of FALN were not notified
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Just a month after President Clinton offered clemency to 16 Puerto Rican separatists, a report from Attorney General Janet Reno said that the nationalist groups they had been aligned with posed an ongoing threat to national security.
that left six dead.
"Factors which increase the present threat from these groups include ... the impending release from prisons of members of these groups jailed for prior violence," Reno's September 1999 report said.
The report was made public yesterday at a U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the controversial grant of clemency Clinton made to Puerto Rican separatists, most of them associated with the terrorist group FALN.

Senate adopts new funding procedure
By Chris Borniger writer @kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Six student organizations will have to take a slightly different path to use the money Student Senate gives them from now on.
A bill passed by the finance committee last night mandates that six organizations receiving block allocation funding submit their spending requests to Senate Treasurer Patrick McGiffert.
The organizations affected are the Black Student Union, Hispanic-American Leadership Organization, Asian American Student Union, Center for Community Outreach and Student Bar Association. The elections commission also is subject to the new process.
An organization granted a block allocation usually has full authority to spend the money allocated to it. However, it is not
allowed to request line-item or unallocated funding.
McCiffen said the legislation was necessary because the University of Kansas started using a different accounting software, PeopleSoft, to pay bills. The treasurers of most student organizations aren't trained on how to use the software, he said.
For reasons of security and efficiency, the University limits the number of people who can access the new accounting system.
McGiffert is one of only three students approved by the department of student affairs to use the software.
He said the bill also was necessary because these groups had no auditing procedure, while other organizations receiving block funding did. Because the organization's spending requests now require McGiffert's approval, he can remove certain provisions via line-item.
making sure these groups were using their money properly," McGiffert said. "This was brought upon by the actions of student groups. We're not doing this for fun. I don't get paid extra."
"It made sense for Student Senate to begin
The modification will not affect how much money each organization received this academic year.
The bill was the subject of nearly 50 messages on Senate's listserv this week, including some e-mails alleging discriminatory motives.
Chris Hess, social welfare senator, motioned to table the bill until an independent task force could compile more information on the bill. His motion failed.
"Whether or not this bill gets passed here, the University will require this same procedure," said Aravind Muthukrishnan, legislation co-sponsor and Finance committee chairman.

"What this would be is a nice gift for the University because, we'd be renovating their building," she said.
Working out the recreation center
Henry cited the success of the referendum as sufficient reason to make the new center a free-standing one. The referendum passed by more than a 2-to-1 majority, 2,877 to 1,233.
Lindsey Gaston, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, said choosing an addition would border on fraud.
"It's like the old bait and switch — promising one thing and giving a very different product," he said. "This was specifically written for a certain goal. Anything else is a perversion of that."
University Affairs and Student Rights committees also approved a bill that, if included in University Senate rules and regulations, would give students more time to choose the credit or no credit option for classes. Now, students only
can do so during the third and fourth weeks of classes. The petition asks that this period be moved back to the fifth and sixth weeks.
In other business, committees approved bills to:
Modify the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities to give students more privileges in disciplinary hearings.
- Initiate the Senate New Student Project program through which freshmen and readmitted students could become involved in task forces and committees.
A petition to the University asking it to offer more community service opportunities in class curricula.
Allocate $275 to the Public Relations Student Society of America
Allocate $237 to the Adopt-a-School program.
Also, the Finance committee tabled a bill that would allocate $5,000 to the National Council of Negro Women.

South Carolina should remove Confederate flag from state capitol
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in an effort to remove the Confederate battle flag from the South Carolina statehouse, announced a tourism boycott of South Carolina Saturday.
The NAACP is right to try to remove the Confederate flag from the Capitol. Regardless of any arguments of heritage or culture, a large population of this country interprets the flag as a symbol of the South's willingness to go to war for an economic system that was built on the backs of slaves. It also has connotations the historical racism in the South and was adopted by hate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan.
The swastika is an important symbol in the history of Germany, but
The NAACP wants to remove the symbol of hate from South Carolina's statehouse
one would not find it飞 lying from government buildings in Berlin or Bonn. The Confederate flag, similar to the swastika, should be put in its place in history, not on top of the Capitol dome, where it blatantly offends some of South Carolina's taxpayers.
An economic sanction also is the proper method of seeking change. Had the leaders of the NAACP opted to use the court system, it might have lacked the legal justification for removal. More importantly, legal action often results in a certain
degree of public backlash.
By using a tourism boycott, the group is urging its members not to travel or spend money in South Carolina until the flag is removed. With African-American tourists spending about $280 million there annually, this action, if successful, will hit South Carolina where it hurts and likely will be more effective than long, complicated legal battles.
The NAACP is right. It is not trying to outlaw Confederate flags or remove them from private homes; it is trying to remove the flag from an inappropriate place. If the boycott is successful, it will send a strong message to the United States that the flag no longer will be tolerated on government grounds.

Tragedy brought community together

It took a tragedy, but Kansas City came together as a community. This community cohesion was prompted by the death of 10-year-old Pamela Butler.
Although Butler's story was tragic, it also brought some good to the Kansas City community Kidnapping cases are often left unsolved, and family members are left without closure. Butler's case was unique because the community came together in an effort to find the kidnapper and comfort the family.

Officials then began to search for the truck's owner, Keith D. Nelson, for questioning. A police officer spotted Nelson under a bridge and alerted other police. The suspect was captured.

The team effort of police and citizens of the Kansas City area enabled Butler's alleged kidnapper to be captured and Butler's body to be found. Without the help of these people, Butler's case could have remained another unsolved kidnapping. Kansas City should be commended for the unselfish community effort expended in bringing closure and support to this case.

SUA's paranormal show just a normal scare-fest
merica's Top Ghost Hunters."
"A
Sarah

oilonier@kannan.com
Last week, Student Union Activities sponsored a lecture by Ed and Lorraine Warren. The married couple is widely
known for investigating the paranormal and for making contributions to such famous cases as The
Sintuf Haunting and the Original files upon which The Exorcist was based. This year ABC is piloting a television series based on the Warrens' studies, and Ridley Scott is signed to direct a feature motion picture on their work. The impressive references go on and on. The Warrens have 30 years of college lecturing under their belts.
So why was their recent oration at the University of Kansas so terrible? As a curious examiner of the occult, I drove to the Kansas Union
caused to hear two renowned parapsycologists offer conclusive research on areas such as the afterlife, telepathy and reincarnation. An hour and a half later, I walked out early — disappointed by the ridiculous information I was given and angered by the Warrens' audacity.
Troy Taylor, Web master for www.prairiehosts.com and member of the American Ghost Society, says "It's a shame that the general public has to be subjected to the sort of silliness and sensationalism that some ghost hunters feel is needed for audiences today. I feel that we are finally getting to the point where the public realizes that there is some credibility to what we are doing. While I see the need to bring attention to the field, I also would love to bring an image of competent research to the field as well. Hopefully, people are starting to see some of these outdated researchers for what they are ... the dwindling few and not the representatives of the field as a whole."
Fraudulent information was presented as truth. The Warrens spoke about the existence of ectoplasm, a supposedly paranormal substance that produces spirit materialization and telekinesis, which was admitted by early 20th century con artists to be a hoax.
The gripe that actually caused me to get up and leave was the irresponsibility the Warrens displayed by neglecting to warn the audience of graphic photo content and potentially disturbing audio recordings. An alarming picture of a woman supposedly being attacked by an incubus, a sexually predatory, demon-like spirit, was flashed before the crowd; many people gasped and moaned with discomfort. Later, audio recordings of devilish voices alleged to be those of demonically possessed people were played, upsetting a number of people enough to prompt them to leave.
The Warrens' lecture had some entertainment value, but SUA should have warned those in attendance that the focus would be on audience impact rather than on seriously dealing with issues of the supernatural. The Warrens may be America's Top Ghost Hunters, but they certainly aren't America's Most Responsible Lecturers.
The Warrens even presented the infamously absurd photograph of "The Silver Princess" as proof of the existence of ghosts. This picture was proven to be a fraud years ago and often is used as an example of the ridiculous "paranormal" scams that were extremely common at the turn of the century.
Also, electronic voice phenomena (E.V.P.) was offered as substantial evidence of the metaphysical. This technique, while often very convincing, isn't even recognized as conclusive evidence in parapsychology circles, as it simply cannot be tested for authenticity. Mr. Warren told the audience he owned a video tape of ghostly apparitions. Why
didn't he show it?
In addition to its utter inaccuracy, the Warrens' approach was pure sensationalism. Rather than examining evidence of the paranormal in a scientific manner, the Warrens made the entire lecture into a scare-fest. With quotations such as, "Anyone who wants to see a ghost tonight will see one at approximately 3 a.m." and "Entities like to present themselves to rooms just like these," uttered in a low, ominous voice, who possibly could see the presentation as anything more than a silly, if not offensive, attempt at entertainment?

One question posed to children by adults is arguably the favorite: What do you want to be when you grow up?
We all have grown up with this question, and now that we have reached the question has subtly changed to: What is your major? What are you studying? What is your speciality? For myself and many other seniors, "What do you grow up?" has changed
This latest metamorphosis of the once cute inquiry is my parents' new favorite. It outranks
probes regarding school, money, friends and even grades.
"A job?" I reply, "In October?"
As the Career and Employment Services office on campus will tell you, October is a perfect time, maybe not for a job, but most certainly a job hunt.
For those choosing to graduate and enter the working world,now is the time to be planning for the summer.
YOU ARE MY MISTER
Jamie Patterson guest columnist opinion@kansan.com
For those of us planning to
jump right back into school for a higher degree after graduation, tests must be taken in the next few months, and applications must start to enter admissions offices across the nation.
As in many things in life, planning for a future beyond the University is best when started early. If graduate school is the road you choose, an officer of admissions at the University of Iowa suggests that for schools with rolling application deadlines, the sooner you turn in your application, the more likely you are to be accepted.
When it comes to finding a job, the more opportunities you have to get your name out to employers, the better off you are. You'll have far more opportunities by beginning now rather than in April.
If you don't know where to start, head directly to one of the Career Centers on campus.
Too much work to march around campus? Now it's easy for even the laziest among us to get job search the Internet. Visit http://www.bschool.ukans.edu/besc, and you will have access to the entire database for all of the career centers. Another fun Web sites is www.cooljobs.com. It contains such jobs as a host on a Carnival cruise ship or a Web site editor.
Career centers do provide a service that will require you to leave your home-job fairs for every major. Be attentive, watch the Kansan for dates and times—the are many—and it is a wonderful way to get your resume out to employers. Visit your departments regularly; they often will post helpful things there that wouldn't be worth any money.
Trudy Lutz at the Business Career Center recommends that as soon as students are accepted by the School of Business, that they visit the career center.
None of the fairs, programs, or service centers are limited to seniors, either.
Juniors shouldn't forget that internship opportunities are also available through all of our career service centers.
Seniors, in the middle of all the resume writing and job fair going, should take a moment and get a graduation check from your adviser. You want to make sure that you will have both a job and a diploma come May.
Keep in mind that the jobs don't always go to those with the best grades or most outstanding record of leadership and achievement. The jobs go to those who are attentive and on the ball and who market themselves well and often.
If you actively search for an answer,you soon will discover what you will be when you grow up.
The moral of the story? The early bird is more likely to get the job.

Handgun problem caused by weak punishments
I was appalled by the ignorance and misrepresentation of the facts that were in Erin Simpson's column on the need to ban handguns. Instead of worrying so much about a relatively small number of handgun murders per year (9,390) perhaps she could worry about the 41,000 deaths due to traffic accidents, or the 100,000 deaths related to alcohol, or even the 400,000 deaths due to tobacco usage.
If Simpson must worry about the handguns, maybe she should look at the fact that the problem lies in the punishments handed out rather than the existence of handguns. If the American justice system wasn't so liberal as to allow a "three strikes and you're out" policy, but rather took an "eye for an eye" approach, the homicide and crime rate in general would go down. I'm sure that if the government carried out a live, televised execution during the Super Bowl, the message of senseless violence not being tolerated would come across very well.
I had hoped that Simpson, as a columnist for the prestigious UDK, would have thought about the root of the problem rather than the ending result. Perhaps she'll remember that the next time her editor is reading her uneducated work while smoking a cigarette.

Peer pressure, alcohol contribute to smoking

generally smoke more when drinking.
"Some people say it's like second nature to pick up a cigarette when they're drinking," Francis said. "They say it tastes better, and their inhibitions are lowered as well."
Wade said Walters' sentiment was a common one.
Cody Walters, Onaga sophomore, said that he had seen all of his friends smoke at least once but that at least 75 percent were regular smokers. He admitted he smoked more when drinking alcohol.
"Your body just feels like it needs one more when you're drinking," Walters said.
"I think a piece of it is the associations one has when one drinks." Wade said. "Certain activities are just paired, and with smoking, it's that kind of thing."
The force of habit
The irony for some smokers is that they don't really like smoking. it's just a habit they can't or won't break.
"Once in a while after a meal I have a really good cigarette." Walters said. "Most of the time they're not that good."
But lack of pleasure has not prevented Walters from paying for his pack-a-day habit, which amounts to more than $21 a week or about $1,100 a year.
Francis said more than just an addiction to nicotine contributed to why people continued smoking despite health risks.
"People enjoy the task of smoking," she said. "When people quit, the things they say they miss are lighting the cigarette, holding the cigarette and smoking while drinking a beer."
Just last year, Walters quit smoking. His body lost its hourly itch for nicotine for a time, but he starting smoking again two months later.
The power of biology
The U.S. Surgeon General released a report last year detailing the differences between the incidence of smoking and smoking-related deaths across cultural lines. The report stated that Native Americans and Alaska Natives had the highest prevalence of tobacco use — nearly 40 percent of adults smoke compared with 25 percent in the general population.
Mike Tosee, an instructor at Haskell Indian Nations University, said it made sense for more minorities to be smokers.
"People smoke for various reasons, one of which is stress." Tosse said. "When you look at minorities in terms of economics, more minorities are in poverty, which causes stress."
However, Tosee said he did not see that statistic mirrored on
Haskell's campus although tobacco was considered an important part of some tribal ceremonial events.
"What I see on our campus of 800 students, I don't think it's that high." Tosee said. "But this campus is a sample of 150 different tribes, so I don't know if that's a good sample or not."
According to the Lung Cancer Awareness Campaign, lung cancer is the leading cancer killer of women, and women will account for more than half of the lung cancers diagnoses in the United States this year.
Whatever the reason for starting to smoke, one thing is clear: once hooked, little will deter a smoker from continuing.
Take Walters as an example. For him, cigarettes have become a way of life. Although smoking-related illness has hit close to home — his grandmother has to wear an oxygen tube in her nose and carry a bottle of oxygen with her — Walters said he had no plans to quit.
Festival offers American viewers an alternative form of animation
- Edited by Kelly Closen
By Erinn R. Barcomb
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Center for East Asian Studies Amine Festival has given American audiences a taste of animation that goes beyond the normal Saturday morning fare.
The festival, scheduled for every Thursday in October, will continue with a showing of Princess Mononoke by Miyazaki Hayao at 5 p.m. today at 308 Dyche Hall.
Elaine Gerbert, associate professor of East Asian languages and culture, said about 20 people came to the two previous showings. Those two films had English subtitles but Princess Mononoke will not.
Although she said the visuals were spectacular, Gerbert recommended that viewers reviewed the
synopsis posted on the Internet at nausicaa.net/miyaazaki/mlh/synopsis/page1.htm, to better understand the film.
Michiko Ito, a librarian at the East Asian Library in Watson Library, is a huge fan of anime. The Japanese art of animation deals with adult themes that most American cartoons do not, she said.
"Anime is more mature tense," it said. "American animation tends to focus on children. Japanese anime is at a high school or adult level."
The subjects of the other films included a story about Japanese children during war and a tale of badger-dogs fighting for the environmental rights of the mountain they inhabit.
Gerbert said although the films were a part of Japanese popular culture, they still had thought-pro
voking themes.
Part of the allure of watching anime is the visual details. It said that watching American cartoons was like looking at a picture, while watching anime was more like looking at real life.
"The subject matter is very serious," Gerbert said. "We're trying to awaken interest in Japanese culture."
Karen Mack, graduate student in Japanese art history, is an anime fan. She said she especially liked visual artistry that was more detailed than American cartoons.
"It's of a sophistication not seen in American cartoons," Mack said. "It's a fun way to gain insight into Japanese culture."
The final showing of the festival will be Oct. 28.

Gender
Differences
Women may become more intoxicated than men after drinking the same amount of alcohol because:
- Women have less body water and more body fat than men, so the concentration of alcohol in a woman's blood will be higher.
- Women are usually smaller than men, so alcohol is less diluted when it reaches the brain.
- A woman can get intoxicated more rapidly right before her period. Also, using birth control pills will cause alcohol to metabolize slower leading to quicker and longer intoxication.
Any positive effects of alcohol come at low doses only.
Most KU students drink moderately

Serb leader to discuss NATO bombings on Kosovo
By BriAnne Hess
Special to the Kansan
University of Kansas students can hear an insider's viewpoint today about the effects and aftermath of the NATO bombing on Kosovo.
Svetozar Stojanovic, a leader in the Serbian opposition movement, will present, "Serbia, Kosovo, and the NATO World Order" at 4 p.m. at the Big 12 Room in the Kansas Union. The lecture is free.
Bruce Berglund, assistant director for the Center for Russian and East European Studies, said it was important to hear the views of a Serbian who was in Belgrade during the bombing.
"We received very biased coverage of the NATO action here in the States," Berglund said. "The general picture was of NATO, as the good guys, flying in to defend the innocent Kosovar Albanians against the evil Serbs."
As a visiting professor, Stojanovic taught courses on Marxism, communism and post-communism at the University between 1989 and 1996. During the NATO bombings this spring, Stojanovic chose to stay in Belgrade where he is the international director of the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory.
recent e-mail to Anne Merydith-Wolf, programs director for the Office of International Programs. "In truth, not much more is left to him. Today, he would accept an offer to join the NATO "Partnership for Peace" with both hands, but such an offer is surely not in the works."
Berglund said that the lecture was important for students because of NATO's domination in the news during the past eight years and the absence of a quick solution to the conflict. He also said that getting a Serbian's viewpoint might open students' eyes.
"Students should take a critical view of the information they receive from
"Milosevic is still buying time in the hope that political changes favorable to him will occur in Russia," he wrote in a
American news sources during the NATO bombing to question how much of it was essentially, propaganda," Berglund said. "Hopefully, this will prompt them to consider more thoughtfully what they receive from the media in general."
Program sponsors said Stojanovic might not support the NATO decision. Members of the opposition have said NATO acted outside of its realm in the bombing of Kosovo because the organization was conceived to act as a defensive organization, but took the offensive in the bombings. NATO also went outside of its self-imposed boundaries and bypassed the United Nations, Merydith-Wolf said.
"It was a gutsy decision," she said.
"NATO is supposed to value national sovereignty but also value human rights and self-determination. They are conflicting values that the world will have to decide how to deal with."
Serbia currently is under international isolation since the United Nation Tribunal in The Hague indicted Milosevic for war crimes. An anti-Milosevic front in Serbia continues to grow and to protest in the streets to demand Milosevic's fall from power.
The lecture is sponsored by the Office of International Programs and the Center for Russian and East European Studies.

Dr. Atkins' protein diet recommends increasing protein intake while restricting the consumption of carbohydrates. Although this leads to weight loss, many dieters have found that a significant decrease in energy and a strict diet of meats result in a quick fix rather than a lifestyle change.

REVOLUTION
FIVE LAST THINGS YOU WANT TO KNOW
ABOUT THE NEW DIET REVOLUTION
Protein diet a quick fix, long term results vary
By Amber Stuever
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Go ahead. Indulge in bacon, steak,
hamburgers or a block of cheese. Eat
all the nuts, ham and eggs you desire.
And then, sit back and watch the
weight melt off.
Many University of Kansas students have tried this new weight-loss trend, the protein diet. Quit cutting back on calories, the diet recommends, and start cutting back on carbohydrates. Proteins, they believe, are a dieter's friend. And as for portion-size? Ignore it.
Like most dieting trends, students and dietitians agree that the protein diet is too good to be true.
"Any time a diet eliminates any food group a red light should go off for a consumer," Anne Chapman, Watkins Memorial Health Center dietitian said. "We have each food group for a reason. Any diet eliminating or severely limiting one or more food groups is not a healthy approach."
Although thousands on the diet have lost weight, others aren't so sure of its effectiveness. It fails, they say, because it "goes against the grain," both figuratively and literally.
The protein diet ignores most of the standard advice given to dieters.
Robert Atkins, the man behind the diet, said in his book, Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution, that cutting calories was not the way to lose weight. Rather, the key is to restrict carbohydrates. Without carbohydrates, the body will be forced to burn fat and protein for fuel.
Atkins' diet therefore cuts all carbohydrates found in grains, cereals and
bread from the diet.
Cutting carbohydrates, however, also cuts energy.
Tricia Lichtenberg, Kansas City. Mo., junior, said she was constantly tired while she was on the protein diet, leaving her unable to exercise.
"You lose all your energy to even go outside and run." she said.
Lichtenberg did lose 10 pounds during the summer and kept off five. She quit the diet when she returned to the University because it was too hard to stick to, she said. The foods, which are very limited, were almost impossible to prepare at college.
The diet also restricts alcohol, which is a staple in the college diet for some students.
The diet's small window of acceptable foods is another reason it fails, Chapman said. People get tired of the diet's monotony. If they lose weight, they often gain some or all of it back.
"If all you an eat is meats, you burn out pretty quickly," she said. "It's not a lifestyle change. It's a quick fix."
Because of this, dieters don't learn to eat correctly and they cannot maintain a lower weight. Chapman said.
Rebecca Herren, a Wichita junior who is trying the diet, agreed that a person must have the willpower and long-term commitment to keep the weight off.
"A lot of people wouldn't be able to stick with it," she said. "It's a really good way to lose weight, but you have to stick to it forever or the weight will come back."
Lichtenberg said she would recommend the diet to a friend if she were trying to lose a quick 10 pounds. But it's not sensible for the long term, she said.
"What I do now is just exercise and watch what I eat and have the same satisfaction," she said.

Studies to weigh in about exercise
Overweight students eligible for extensive study on weight loss
By Todd Halstead
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Several studies at the University of Kansas are aimed at finding ways to prevent the excess of Americans — an excess of fat that is.
Joseph E. Donnelly, chair of the Department of Health, Sports a Exercise Science said 50 percent of the American population would be considered clinically obese by 2010. He said the studies were mainly geared toward the effects of exercise.

The study lasts two years and consists
two nine-month programs. Subjects must ha-
check-ups every three months evaluating the
body compositions, blood cholesterol levels and car-
diol-respiratory fitness
"The studies are important to clarify the role of exercise on weight without dietary restraint," Donnelly said. "There are a whole bunch of things we are investigating that deal with weight loss, weight prevention or weight gain."
The studies included a $2.4 million five-year aerobic exercise study funded by the National Institute of Health, another study.
to determine the effectiveness of weight loss drugs such as Xenical and Meridia, and a two-year aerobic and weight lifting study funded by $50,000 from the American Heart Association.
Donnelly said the department was also preparing to unveil its Energy-Balance Lab next January. The lab will use state-of-the-art technology to measure participants' energy intake and expenditure.
Donnellly said the NIH study was looking for around 20 to 25 more participants.
"They have to be overweight," Donnelly said. "They don't have to be huge. It's one of those things where we want people who are moderately overweight, but if they are too big they will not qualify."
over weight, but if they are the study pays participants $2,000 and consists of mainly walking on a treadmill, but subjects can perform other exercises 20 percent of the time. The control group merely needs to come in for monthly checkups and also receives a $2,000 cash stipend.
Subjects have to exercise five days a week for 45 minutes, come in for monthly check-ups and eat three times a day at Ekdahl Dining Commons for two months out of the academic year.
Although anybody is eligible for the study, Donnelly said time requirements make it difficult for non-KU students to participate.
"We're essentially accessing what are the likes and differences between the two types of training programs." Luttrell said.
Subjects are also put on a nutritional diet program that gives them a reduced caloric value, Luttrell said. A duel energy x-ray absorption machine will be used. Luttrell said the machine emitted very low radiation that penetrated the body and revealed body fat.
The department will sponsor a joint conference with the University of Kansas Medical Center Oct. 23 and 24 in Kansas City, Mo., for health care professionals with at-risk patients. Call University Relations at 864-8855 for more information.

Students form online club to discuss and act on issues
By Emily Hughey writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
It's not going be a run-of-the-mill student club. No refreshments will be provided. There will be no regular meeting time. There won't even be regular members.
Beginning in mid-November, the Sapien Project will meet on the World Wide Web for anyone to take part whenever they want.
Peter Markatos, Wichita senior; Aaron Major, University Daily Kansan columnist and Deerfield, N.H. senior; and Matt Gregg, Newton senior, are spearheading a new club in which members can learn about current issues, discuss them and find out how to act on them—all on the Web site Markatos is developing.
They're calling it the Sapien Project because Homo sapien means wise or intelligent man.
Markates said his goal in forming the club was to post two or three national issues on the site each month about which visitors could learn, think and act.
"We just wanted to do an information clearinghouse of sorts,
so people could make themselves more knowledgeable on current issues." Markatos said.
The club's slogan is "Sapien Project. Learn, Think, Act. Bringing you differing perspectives on global events and providing you with ways to act."
Markatos said the information presented on the site would come from a diverse array of publications. From the Washington Post and the New York Times to The Nation and EMag, Markatos said the club would provide a global view of the issues so visitors could read both mainstream and alternative views. Visitors then will be able to post their opinions on the site and access ways to become activists.
Markatos said he decided to start the club because he noticed a waning in effective activism. He cited the vandalism at KLZR-FM as an example of misdirected activism.
"These people are interested in acting, but no one that I can think of has called the Zimmer Group, the company that owns the Lazer." Markatos said. "We just want to provide an effective means of action."
However, he said the site would
remain non-partisan
"The thing I want to emphasize is the neutrality of it." Markatos said. "We want to be a neutral information center."
Markatos said he chose the Internet as the venue for his club, rather than a traditional club that meets in person, because it could involve more people.
"This way we can reach more people and get more people involved," Markatos said. "Right now it will be geared more toward students, but we'll eventually probably gear it to the Lawrence community as well."
Brett Stoppel, president of KU Campus Internet Association and Garden City senior, said that he had not yet heard of the club but that it was exactly what he thought the future would demand.
"I think that's primarily the direction clubs are going and should be going," Stopel said. "Students have such full schedules. Because the Internet is a 24-hour resource, they can access it any time they want. It should be a great exercise in using the Internet in a fuller capability."

Local volunteers recognized for empowering the disabled
By Derek Prater
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Independence, Inc. is celebrating its 21st anniversary of helping people with disabilities take control of their lives — as well as National Disability Employment Awareness Month — with special events today and tomorrow.
Susan Mikesic, community coordinator, said there would be an open house from 2 to 5 p.m. today at the new Independence, Inc. offices, 2001 Haskell Ave.
From noon to 2 p.m. Friday, the Human Diversity Task Force at Independence, Inc. will hold a Diversity Pot Luck, which will be open to the public.
Community Access Awards and Volunteer Recognition will be presented at 3:30 p.m. today. Community Access Awards are presented annually by Independence, Inc. to those who have furthered the mission of empowering disabled people in Douglas, Franklin and Jefferson counties.
Gary Hawke, general manager for KJHK, is receiving the Community Access Award for an individual.
Ranita Wilks, independent living skills/peer support specialist, nominated Hawke for the award after
working with him at the University.
"The Community Access Awards acknowledge people in the community who have been supportive of people with disabilities, and Gary has done that with students at KU," said Wilks, a 1998 graduate in broadcast journalism.
Hawke said he had worked with various disabled students from time to time and that it had always been a rewarding experience.
"I've found that the students I've worked with who have special needs—every one of them has been a special person," he said.
Disabled students just need the same chance to succeed, and they will thrive. Hawke said.
He said that the two main issues for disabled students were access and inclusion and that he had tried to communicate the need for both to University administrators. Access still is a problem for wheelchairs in places such as at KJHK, Hawke said.
Hawke said he was flattered to receive the award, but he thought more still should be done.
"I'm hoping that we can come to a day where we don't need this type of award," he said.
Also receiving awards are:
n The Roger B. Williams Access Award will be presented to Saunny
Scott primarily for her work with Lawrence Faith Connections, which works to include people with disabilities in local faith communities.
The Community Access Award in the business category will go to Terry Wilkinson, a local carpenter, for making rental housing that is more accessible for people with disabilities.
The Community Access Award for an organization will be awarded to Therapeutic Horse Riding Instruction of Lawrence, Inc. for providing horseback-riding experiences for people with disabilities.
Independence, Inc. works as an advocacy group and provides people with disabilities with services and educational programs, Mikesic said.
The organization helps the disabled understand their civil rights and file complaints for discrimination in the workplace, housing or elsewhere. It also provides programs such as support groups, social events and computer training with adaptive devices such as voice-activated computers.
Mikesaid said the organization was self-help oriented and more than half of the staff and board members and disabilities.

Tomorrow to be first day to enroll for Spring 2000
By Amanda Kaschube writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Outside 151 Strong Hall tomorrow, a seemingly endless line of students with white papers in hand will watch the hands of the clock, waiting for their enrollment times to be called.
Tomorrow marks the first day of enrollment for Spring 2000.
Students enrolling on the first day will most likely get into the classes they want, while students enrolling toward the last day, Nov. 17, might be left empty-handed.
But not everyone is hurt by a later enrollment date.
Erika Hicks, Denver sophomore,
said her Nov. 9 enrollment date
gave her more time to choose the
classes she wanted.
"I'm not mad — I usually get the classes I want," she said. "I'm not doing classes for my major yet anyway."
Students' years in school, not the specific number of credit hours they have, determine the order in which they receive their enrollment dates, Brenda Selman, associate registrar, said.
Selman said the order of enrollment was graduate students, seniors, juniors and so on. Students were separated into those groups based on completed class hours: 90 hours equals a senior, 60 a junior and 30 a sophomore.
But within the actual divisions, students receive random times based on their KUIDs.
"It's a University policy concerning enrollment — a computer system sets the appointment time," she said. "It's a random rotation, but it's based on the last three digits of a student's ID number. It rotates within groups."
Lauren Waterson, Manhattan freshman, said she understood the University of Kansas' policy of having seniors enroll before freshmen.
"Most upperclassman have decided on their majors, and they have certain classes they need to take in their last few years here," she said. "Whereas I'm still deciding, and I can take a broad range of classes. It actually helps me."
On a busy day, Selman said the center can handle about 1,000 students.

Tomorrow will be the first time Caleb Hensley, Pittsburg senior, has enrolled on the first day. He said he was sure he'd get all the classes he wanted.
"I'm stoked about getting the first pick of classes," Hensley said. Even though many graduate students and seniors think they will get all their top class choices, Selman urged all students to list at least two alternates on their permits to enroll.
"List alternates even if you have the first time on the first day," she said. "There are no guarantees."
Selman said those students who did not list alternates and were unable to enroll in 12 hours of classes would not receive extra help after the enrollment deadline.
"No alternates, no completion forms," she said. "There are benefits for having as many options as possible."
Students should include different courses at different times for their alternates, not just the same course number with a different time. Selman said.
To make the enrollment process easier for all, students should bring their completed permits to enroll and any other additional cards, such as a closed-class openers or special permission cards.
Also, students should try to avoid coming 20 or 30 minutes before their appointment times. Selman said most of the congestion was caused by early arrivers, not because of backups in the system.
"Students tend to come early and hang out," she said. "It's one of my pet peeves — it makes it appear that there is a long line when there isn't."
Students wanting to change their schedules can start with add/ drop on Nov. 18, and those who missed their enrollment dates can start on Dec. 1 when late enrollment begins.

Hundreds mourn loss of abducted KC girl
Community gathers to embrace family
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A mother sat sleeping yesterday as family and friends mourned the loss of her 10-year-old daughter — the victim of a kidnapping and killing that shocked the city.
Hundreds of people — many who did not know Pamela Butler or her family — filled the CrossRoads Church for the emotional funeral service
interrupted regular programming to carry the 75-minute service live.
Pamela was snatched from near her home Oct. 12 as she was skating. One of her sisters and others watched. They saw a man grab her and put her in a white truck.
Three local television stations
A suspect, Keith D. Nelson, 24, remained in federal custody on a kidnapping charge.
Pamela's mom, Cherri West, did not speak at the services, but sat in the front row at the church, dabbing at her eyes. Her stepfather, Danny West, had been released from prison to attend the funeral.
the girl the Sunday before she was kidnapped. She visited him in prison at Ellsworth. He said her last words to him were "be good so you can come home."
Pamela's friend, Holly Woods, said she remembered her smile and laugh.
"I remember how she always used to come to my house, she would borrow something from me. She would always try to take my nail polishes," she said.
"She was always someone there to make me laugh when I was feeling bad, and made me feel better when I was feeling good."
was read by Alvin Brooks, a well-known activist who heads a group that fights crime.
"People from all walks of life have embraced Pamela's family," said Sharon Smith, co-pastor with her husband of the church. "The outpouring of love makes me proud to call this community home."
A resolution from the Missouri State Senate condemning the slaying
Mourners clutched purple ribbons, the girl's favorite color, as her sister, Casey Eaton, wondered what her future may have held.
Thousands of dollars have been given to a fund for the family.
Pamela may have been a doctor, teacher, or mother of her own little girl, she said.
Despite programs, kids still left uninsured
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—The number of uninsured children remains at 11 million despite the strong economy and a new program that has been enrolling them for nearly two years, according to two reports.
The problem, advocates say, is that the children lost Medicaid coverage when their families left welfare, even though many of them still are eligible for the program.
That study found that overall, more children left Medicaid than joined the new program, which is aimed at kids who are not poor enough to qualify for Medicaid.
A new Children's Health Insurance Program, created to help reduce the number of uninsured children, has signed up more than a million kids, but its efforts are not enough to counter the falling Medicaid rolls.
"We're no further down the road toward protecting children than we were in 1976 or '97," said Ronald Pollack, president of Families USA, which released a study comparing 12 states' coverage of children in 1996 and 1999.
Among the states losing the most ground was Texas, and Vice President Al Gore's office wasted no time in blaming Texas Gov. George W. Bush, the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination.
"Today's report is further evidence that the governor's batting average, when comes to children,
is Bush league — last in environment, last in children's health care coverage and near last in the quality of life for our kids," Gore representative Chris Lehane said.
Texas Medicaid roles dropped by about 228,000 between 1996 and 1999, but just 34,553 children were added through the new program, meaning the number of kids covered by both programs fell 14.2 percent, the biggest percentage drop among the 12 states examined.
A representative for the Bush campaign had no immediate comment.
Five states say net declines in the number of kids enrolled. Besides Texas, they included Ohio, with a 7.3 percent drop; Arizona, 6.5 percent; California, 4.2 percent, and Pennsylvania, 3.9 percent.

Dole drops out of presidential race
GOP hopeful says Bush's bankroll too much to battle
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Elizabeth Dole abandoned her bid to be America's first woman president, giving up yesterday in the shadow of Republican front-runner George W. Bush's out-sized bankroll.
"The odds are overwhelming," she told tearful supporters. "It would be futtle to continue."
With a near-wistful nod to the historic implications, President Clinton called Dole's departure from the race a loss to the Republican Party and a loss to the country that she couldn't go for
ward because of finances.
The fifth GOP candidate to drop out months before the first primaries;
Dole leaves Bush, Arizona Sen. John McCain and conservative millionaire Steve Forbes in the top tier of the seven remaining Republican contenders.
Allies immediately buzzed about Dole's prospects for second place on any GOP ticket hoping to draw women voters. While Dole said

Dole: Says Bush's money is too much to overcome
emphatically she has not considered the vice presidency, she added, "I'm a long way from the twilight."
Dole's campaign attracted new voters — particularly young and professional women — to the Republican Party. She finished strong in an early political contest — Iowa's non-binding straw poll in August — and displayed a practiced polish on the campaign trail.
But she was unable to translate that into higher poll rankings or increased fund raising. Though second place in many national polls — she hovered around 10 percent — she trailed McCain in New Hampshire and lagged well behind Bush everywhere.
After weeks of rumors spread by rivals that she would quit, Dole turned the talk to truth in a speech tinged with bitterness for the fortunes held by Bush and Forbes.
Her schedule had her racing through 108 fund raisers this year, but still she came up with just $5 million to Bush's $56 million.
"It's money, money, money." she told to her finance committee.
She made up her mind alone on Sunday night, she said, during the five-hour flight home from a Seattle campaign stop.
insistent on meticulous preparation, Dole frustrated some supporters by putting off — then toning down — big policy addresses and neglecting to take advantage of her strong third-place showing in the Iowa straw poll.
Rather than stick it out and hope for a revival in upcoming GOP debates, Dole wanted to get out now, aides said, before spending herself into debt just to meet ballot-access deadlines in key states.
Beginning in 1996, Bush locked up GOP endorsements and big money raisers before Dole had even resigned her presidency of the nonpartisan American Red Cross, she said.
New Indonesian president welcomed with protests, riots
The Associated Press
JAKARTA, Indonesia — A revered but frail Islamic party leader won the first open presidential election in Indonesia's troubled history yesterday, defeating the popular daughter of the country's founding father and setting off a wave of violent protests by her disillusioned supporters.
Abdurrahman Wahid comes to power as Indonesia grapples with its worst economic crisis in 30 years and continuing communal and separatist violence across this ethnically diverse archipelago of 210 million people. His election gives Islam unprecedented influence in the world's largest Muslim nation.
In the wake of the vote, gunshots were heard throughout the capital. Jakarta.
drifted awav.
About 10,000 supporters of Wahil's rival, Megawati Sukarnoputri, tried to march on Parliament, throwing rocks and gasoline bombs at police who stopped them with tear gas and warning shots. The clashes continued into the night before protesters
Gangs also roamed some streets and tried to hijack cars. At least one man was killed when a car exploded, injuring 18. A separate homemade bomb, hidden in a flower pot, injured five people at the city's main traffic circle. A third bomb went off harmlessly in a street after Jakarta's huge convention center was set on fire.
inside the heavily guarded Parliament, Wahid — who has suffered two strokes, is nearly blind and can barely walk — was supported by two aides as he shuffled to a podium to make his inaugural speech calling for national unity.
Although Wahid, 59, heads Indonesia's largest Muslim organization, he has long supported cooperation among faiths and continuing the separation between religion and government. Wahid, better known by his nickname, Gus Dur, is regarded as a voice of tolerance and democratic reform.
"It will be a heavy task to create a peaceful and prosperous society in the future," Wahid said in his first speech as president.

ST. JOHN'S. Antigua Hurricane Jose ripped roofs from houses, tore down a newly built church and flung debris through deserted streets yesterday as it made a direct hit on Antigua and threatened a string of other Caribbean islands.
Storm-weary islanders in neighboring St. Kitts braced themselves as Jose bore down packing 100 mph winds and drenched rain.
"It's projected to move right across the Leeward Islands. All of them are within the direct line of the storm — Montserat, Antigua, Barbuda, Nevis, St. Kitts, St. Eustatius, St. Maarten, Anguilla," said meteorologist Bill Frederick of the U.S. Hurricane Center in Miami.
There is a strong chance the storm would not reach the U.S. East Coast, meteorologist Michael Formosa said.
But Jose was expected to hit the

Millennium's approach may result in terrorism extremism, FBI warns
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The FBI plans to warn state and local police to be alert for possible attacks at the turn of the millennium by hate or apocalyptic groups.
"There are no specific threats, but we often alert law enforcement agencies about impending dates with significance for potential terrorists," FBI representative Bill Carter said yesterday.
Each year, for instance, the FBI reminds state and local law enforcement of the April 19 anniversary of the 1995 bombing of an Oklahoma City federal building and the 1993 federal assault on the Branch Davidian sect outside Waco, Texas.
The bureau intends to distribute a 40-page research report, entitled Project Megiddo, named after an ancient battleground in Israel cited in the Bible's New Testament as the site of a millennial battle between forces of good and evil.
battle between forces. The FBI report analyzes the potential for extremist criminal activity in the United States by individuals or domestic groups who attach special significance to the year 2000, according to a bureau document. The significance is based primarily upon apocalyptic religious beliefs or political beliefs concerning the New World Order conspiracy theory.
"Our concern is with fringe, hate or apocalyptic groups or lone wolf members of them who may pose a threat," Carter said. "We're not focusing on militias."
In fact, ever since the Oklahoma City bombing, the FBI has asked its 56 field offices to meet with militia groups in their regions periodically to foster better communication and explain that the FBI is not targeting the majority of militia members engage in law abiding activities, a bureau statement said.
The FBI said some militias had taken positive steps toward ridding themselves of violent extremist elements.
"These extreme members will splinter from more established groups and engage in violence autonomously," the bureau said. "More mainstream militia groups have been helpful in identifying the more extremist elements of the militia who may resort to acts of violence."
FBI officials will distribute copies of the report and discuss it at a meeting of the International Association of Chiefs of Police later this month in Charlotte, N.C. Later, copies will be sent to state and local law enforcement agencies, Carter said. At some point, a version might be made public.

KC loses Big 12 basketball tournament
Site to alternate between cities starting in 2003
By Michael Riga and Matt Tait

Kansan sportswriters
The Kansas basketball team will be losing its home-court advantage.
The Big 12 Conference board of directors met yesterday to deter
mine where future conference championship battles would take place.
Kansas City's Kemper Arena, which attracts a Jayhawk crowd, no longer will be the lone site for the Big 12 basketball tournament beginning in 2003. The honor will be shared with Dallas' American Airlines Center, which will welcome the event for two years before it returns to Kemper Arena.
"It's probably not something I'd say I'm happy that it happened, but it's something I knew was going to happen." Kansas coach
Roy Williams said. "If the people in Dallas embrace the tournament and do a good job with it, then we'll look back on it and not have any complaints."
Although Kansas City lost one host site, it gained another. Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium will be the first outdoor venue for the Big 12 football championship in December of 2000. In 2001, the game will be played at Texas Stadium in Irving, Texas. The host site for 2002 remains undetermined.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway,
BIG 12 CONFERENCE XII
who serves as chairman of the board, said he was content with the decision.
The move will have a bigger effect on the host cities than on the teams or universities. For Dallas, the basketball tournament will increase revenue for one week in
"We are pleased with the response and the results of our search for future championship sites," Hemenway said.
March. Although Kansas City loses the basketball revenue, the football revenue provides the potential to more than compensate as Arrowhead Stadium holds 79,101 people — considerably more than Kemper Arena's 17,500.
For as long as the basketball tournament has been in Kansas City, critics have claimed that the Jayhawks' have an unfair advantage playing 40 minutes from Lawrence. Williams said that he

Saturday's game is more than just football

Kansan sportswriter
"Dan Devine is the coach at Missouri, and they are laying on KU pretty good. [Former Jayhawk coach] Pepper Rodgers says, 'My god, they are just killing us. I flashed the peace sign over to Devine on the other side of the field, and he gave half of it back to me.'"
- Former Kansas coach Don
Fambrough
But Saturday's game is much more than just football. It's about tradition and history — not to mention bragging rights.
In a fierce rivalry that started with William Quantrill's burning of Lawrence in 1863 and most recently continued last fall in Columbia, Mo., with a strange bottle-throwing incident, the annual Missouri-Kansas football game has transcended each school almost every fall since the late 1800s.
Most importantly, the rivalry has sustained changes in the two schools, changes in the game of football and changes in society.
The border war has sustained pure venomous hatred, as the rivalry reached levels of dangerous heat in the 1960s with a feud between Rodgers and Devine and has shown little signs of cooling off since, especially since the bottle-throwing incident.
Perhaps most notable is the series' longevity. The Kansas-Missouri rivalry represents the second-longest football series in the nation, and the two teams have played every season except for one — the 1918 game was canceled because a number of players had the flu
since 1891, with Missouri holding a slim 50-48-9 edge.
In the beginning...
B
The rivalry's roots started in the Civil War, when the state of Kansas became a battleground. Kansas had declared in 1857 that it was a free state, while Missouri adamantly remained a slave state. Missourians started to refer to the anti-slavery group in Kansas as "Jayhawkers," a name that later stuck with the University of Kansas.
In 1863, pro-slavery extremist — and Missouri resident — William Quantrill, along with his gang of 300 horsemen, ventured into Kansas and burned down the entire Lawrence business district and more than 200 homes,
while leaving more than 180 Lawrence residents wounded from gunshots.
"After Quantrill, a real anger and hate developed between the two states," said Rita Napier, professor of history. "All the Kansans thought the Missourians were these pro-slavery border ruffians, while the Missourians believed the Kansans were these liberal Jayhawkers."
Upon the conclusion of the Civil War and both schools liking the newly invented game of "foot-ball," administrators of the schools arranged for an annual football game to be played in Kansas City beginning in 1891.
Quantrill's act would become the battle cry for the Kansas community for many years to come. It was even mentioned this fall by Jayhawk coach Terry Allen at Kansas' annual traditions night, and it has laid the tracks for one of college football's most intense rivalries.
The two teams kicked off the series for the first time on Halloween weekend in 1891 in Kansas City, and Kansas started the rivalry on a winning note, defeating the black and gold 22-8. However, not everyone was
impressed by the Jayhawkers' victory. The Weekly University Courier, a former student newspaper of the University of Kansas, suggested that the team needed to improve before it played nearby Baker University the following week.
However, not everyone was
"Baker knows a little more about foot ball than MU," the report stated.

to first base about as accurately as someone playing darts after a few Schooners.
Point to the Dodgers and Orioles all you want, but it's obvious that to have a chance in Major League Baseball, you gotta spend the bucks. No team in this year's playoffs was lower than 12th in payroll.

Go ahead, watch these teams. But understand that rooting for teams like the Yankees is like rooting for the sun to come up.

What you need to do is watch the PayLess Playoffs, the best-kept secret in sports. Right now, while you're getting ready for the big-money teams to play their big-money games announced by big-money announcers, the PayLess participants are playing in a tall-grass field across the street from a meat-packing plant in Pittsburgh.
"I't hard to get used to at first," said Felipe Alou, whose Montreal Expos will take on the Minnesota Twins in Game One of the best-of-three series. "But let's keep it real, we really have no business being on the same field as those other guys. This is more fun anyway, not as much pressure. Let them play in front of 50,000 screaming drunks at Yankee Stadium. We know if we lose the only people who will see it will be our wives, and they'll still be with us. As long as we keep them away from those rich guys."
Because Bob Costas already was busy, the PayLess organizers convinced Ben Stein — you may know him from The Wonder Years and those Visine commercials — to do the play-by-play. Steve Balboni will handle the color commentary.
Fans won't have the cuisine choices available at Turner Field, but they can flag down the saltine vendor if hunger strikes. And it has that distinctive metallic taste, but there's a water fountain next to the two Port-A-Potties.
Think the guys in uniform have nothing to play for? Think again. The Wal-Mart Player of the Game gets a free oil change.
"That's worth, what, 20 bucks?" Minnesota's Doug Mientkiewicz said. "If I have a couple good games, I could get my wife's El Camino in good shape, too."
And so what if there's not enough champagne on ice to soak and intoxicate 40 grown men? A few cases of Natural Light can go a long way.
"Hey, at least it won't be skunky," Mientkiewicz said. "It's not skunky, is it?"
But there will be something in the PayLess Series as good as in the World Series. You don't think the umpiring could get much worse, do you?

Kansas, 13-7 overall and 4-5 in the Big 12 Conference, was missing its rhythm from the beginning of the match. The Jayhawks dropped the first game 15-4 and never managed to recover.
Kansas went on to lose the next two games, 15-6 and 15-5, while falling to 225 all-time against the Buffaloes.
"We didn't play at a very high level, but Colorado was very steady," Bechard said. "They did a good job of keeping us out of the things we wanted to do."

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 5.
Keep out of an argument if you can. It doesn't really concern you, and besides, you don't have enough facts to win. You can ask questions and listen, but don't say much. Don't tip your hand, especially if you're not sure what game is being played.
Taurus: Today is an 8.
Today do some planning and budgeting. You and your mate need to hassle this out. Your choices will make all the difference. Once you agree on what you want, everything else will fall into place.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
You're being pushed and prodded to become more sensitive. Listen to what isn't being said, and you'll learn a lot. It'll take a lot of practice, but that's OK. The longer you can keep your mouth shut, the more you'll learn. It's tough, but it'll be worth the effort.
Cancer: Today is an 8.
Your intuition is keen and right on target.
You're getting the message loud and clear.
Other people don't have a clue, but that's OK.
It's none of their business anyway, right?
Leo: Today is a 6.
Is there something you'd like to do with your home? Buy more nice things? How about a move to better digs? You're in the mood, but should you do it yet? Well, maybe a little more homework would be a good idea, first. Better safe than sorry.
Virgo: Today is an 8.
You've got a good partner, and you're learning quickly. You have a few worries, but that's OK. You should be used to that by now. You can improve your efficiency, and that'll make you feel better. Look for a way to streamline procedures.
Scorpio: Today is an 8.
Saaittarius: Today is a 6.
Libra: Today is a 6.
Your creativity could pay off for you. Let people know what you can do and find out what they want. Service is the key to your success.
Get your ego go out of the way. This may not be easy, but it's good for you — and them!
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
You should be able to get what you want regarding romance, and that's good. Somebody else leans on you regarding work, however, and that's annoying. You'd like to cuddle all day long, but that may not happen. Schedule in as much as possible.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
---
You're always interested in learning new skills, and that could pay off for you now. Something you hear about in a private setting can be put to use almost immediately. Don't be afraid to ask questions; that's giving you the edge.
Focus on family even if it means not playing with your friends. Something at home needs your attention. Maybe you just need a little more time to yourself. A quiet evening now could be preventive medicine, so just relax.
O
Pisces: Today is a 7.
You should be focused on getting money. Go for the promotion or the better job. The problem is you don't care about that. Hey, it's not really fithy cash; it's good to have. Save the philosophical conversation for later. Get the rent paid first.
You're getting pretty good advice from an expert. You may also be working with a partner. Gather as much information as you can before proceeding. Have another take the risk instead of you.

did not think that was the reason for the move.
"That thought probably is there." Williams said. "But what's giving us the advantage is that we've been pretty good."
Statistics show that Kemper Arena's proximity to Lawrence has little to do with Kansas' tournament success. In Williams' first eight sea
sons at Kansas, the Jayhawks won only one conference tournament, the 1992 Big 8 Tournament. Since the inception of the Big 12 in 1995, however, Kansas has won every conference tournament.
From a football standpoint, the board liked Kansas City's proximity to a number of Big 12 schools, as the city is within a half-day's drive for six of them.
"We have what we think is an outstanding group of venues, and I think we have struck a great balance between new and traditional sites and fan bases," Big 12 commissioner Kevin Weiberg said.
The baseball tournament will remain in its present location in Oklahoma City until 2001, when the tournament could be moved to an alternative site.

Pugh, hopefuls go home empty-handed
By Brent Briggeman
Kansan sportswriter
There will be no chants of "Puuugggh" in Allen Fieldhouse this year.
The brief Kansas basketball career of T.J. Pugh's younger brother Pat came to an end last night as assistant coach Ben Miller told 26 prospective walkons that there simply wasn't room for another player on this year's roster.
Deep down, Pat and the other hopefuls expected it all along. Still, there was that slight chance, that slim ray of hope.
That hope was enough to bring the students to the fieldhouse for three nights of gueling practices this week.
They ranged in height from 5-foot-7 to
The walk-ons were as diverse as the Kansas campus.
6-7. They ranged in age from 18 to 21.
There were junior college transfers,
Division II transfers and guys who
haven't played ball in three years.
They came from all around, including
from Omaha, Neb, St. Louis, Mo., and
from little Silver Lake.
The field included an architecture design major, a computer graphics major, a business major and a sports management major.
The girls' basketball manager was there. So was a guy who was a sixth man on his high school team.
Then they used Pat Pugh.
"I decided five days ago that I'd give it a shot," he said. "I just decided that I didn't want to leave college with any regrets. I just thought I'd see what I could do."
Pugh's gritty style of play closely
resembled that of his brother's. In three nights of scrimmaging, he dove for loose balls and took three charges. He even stepped out and hit a three-point shot. Unfortunately, at 5:11 (compared with T.J.'s 6-9 frame), that's where the similarities end.
"We knew it would take a standout to make it beyond tonight," Miller said. "We had a lot of good players, but no great players. But this was fun. These guys put out an outstanding effort."
Michael Habtemichael, Ottawa sophomore, did not let the fact he didn't make the team diminish his experience.
"I was just fortunate to have this opportunity," he said. "I would be kicking myself if I hadn't done it. I mean hev, I had nothing to lose."

Missouri game may boost sales
By Mike Miller sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Now that most of the road schedule is complete, Kansas can focus on playing at home一 and the University can focus on completing the stadium and preparing for the Missouri game Saturday.
Almost 33,000 tickets have been sold for the game, but the Athletics Department is anticipating another 7,000 tickets in walkup sales. The total attendance would be the largest crowd since last year's Kansas State game.
"Hopefully, with good weather it can be up around that 40,000 mark," said Rick Mullen, director of promotions for the department.
Season-ticket sales are about the same as last year — about 20,000 — but single-game sales have been below average. The estimated average attendance for the three home games this year has been a little more than 30,000, but the Jayhawk opponents have been California State Northridge, San Diego State and Southern Methodist — not exactly the kinds of teams that pack the house.
"You have to take the schedule for what it is." Mullen said.
The Missouri game and next week's game against Nebraska should boost ticket sales to more encouraging numbers — somewhere in the 35,000 average attendance range — but sales could be even better if more of the games were earlier in the school year when the weather is not as cold, said Doug Vance, assistant athletics director.
"You can't gauge what attendance is going to be, but warm weather would help." Vance said.
The stadium also will be nearing completion of the $12 million press box and scholarship suites renovation. The press box and suites have been ready since early September, but touch-up items have been worked on for the last month. Things such as electrical wiring need to be finished, which should be done this week or next.
Once everything is complete, the University will discuss with Walton Construction Co. how much of the $300,000 bonus payment will be paid to Walton.
Plans for the stadium, such as lowering the field and switching from artificial turf to grass, are in conceptual stages now. They could be presented to the Board of Regents as early as this summer.

Sooners face'Cats confident defense
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN, Kan. — With No. 7 Kansas State's defensive ability to stop the run, it's no surprise opponents have attempted an average of 34.3 passes against them.
But as the Wildcats head into Saturday's contest in Stillwater against Oklahoma State leading the nation in pass defense, opponents might want to consider changing their game plans.
"It's funny," Wildcat linebacker Ben Leber said. "We lead the nation in that category and teams
still try and air it out against us." Des pite being criticized after giving up sev.
C
eral critical passing touchdowns a year ago, including the game-winning touchdown in the 36-33 overtime loss to Texas A&M in the Big 12 Conference Championship game. the Wildcats returned four starters in their defensive backfield. The secondary has been a big part of two shutouts this year.
By intercepting three times in a 40-0 victory against Utah State last week, K-State hiked its season total to 10 interceptions. Four have been returned for touchdowns.
The Wildcats have picked off a pass in 14 consecutive ball games. K-State, second only to Oklahoma State in total defense in the Big 12, has kept its opponents to a 38.3 completion percentage and 901 passing yards, giving up just two passing touchdowns.
With the arrival of defensive coordinator Phil Bennett, sophomore cornerback Milton Proctor said the Wildcats have had greater opportunity for interceptions.
"With Phil Bennett's defense it puts everyone into a position to
get a sack or make an interception," he said. "Our defensive backs have had interceptions for touchdowns. We're getting better at rushing with a great defensive line and we're getting more interceptions than last year."
K-State's best performance against the pass came against Texas, which boasts the second-best passing offense in the Big 12. The Wildcats intercepted Major Applewhite, who had thrown for 2,091 yards and 14 touchdowns, three times. They forced six turnovers altogether en route to a 35-17 comeback victory.
The Wildcat defensive backs are led by preseason Jim Thorpe candidates senior free safety Lamar Chapman and junior strong safety Jarrod Cooper. Chapman has three interceptions and one touchdown, and Cooper has 39 tackles and eight pass deflections.
And with the emergence of Proctor, who returned an interception for a touchdown against Utah State, the Wildcats have gained depth in the defensive backfield. Seven players have seen extensive playing time there.
"From the first game to this game, we have improved times 10," Cooper said. "It gets better and better every week. It doesn't just happen though. We make goals every week to achieve."
This week, K-State will attempt to stop an Oklahoma State offense that is ranked 95th in the nation in pass offense. The Cowboys are led by quarterback B.J. Tiger, who has passed for five touchdowns and 565 yards.
Nevertheless, coach Bill Snyder said it will be a test for his defensive backfield.
"We would expect virtually anything from them," Snyder said. "They can get into every formation that there is to get in to. You'll line up a lot of different ways and you may not have the type of personnel that would be suited against their formation."
Quick improvement pleases Coach Allen
Smith settles into lead quarterback role
Bv Mike Miller
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
It's supposed to be partly cloudy and cool for the Missouri game Saturday — which suits Kansas quarterback Dylan Smith just fine.
"If it gets any colder I don't know what I'm going to do," Smith said.
Smith, who was born and raised in southern California and played for two years at Santa Monica Junior College, complained about how cold it was at practice Tuesday — it was about 50 degrees during practice — and hopes that is won't get much colder.
96
But as anyone who has been in Kansas for more than a year knows, 50 degrees can be downright pleasant during football season.
"I know." Smith said when someone told him it's going to get a lot colder. "I just got to prepare myself for it."
The nice weather this weekend should give Smith an opportunity to ignore the temperature and become even more comfortable in his role as the Javahaws' offensive leader.
When Smith came to Kansas in early August, it was straight from summer school. He missed spring practice because he spent the spring and summer taking classes to become eligible.
It was one of the drawbacks about Smith — no spring ball meant less time to learn the offense.
He played catch-up during the first few weeks of fall practice, split time with incumbent quarterback Zac Wegner for the first two games, took most of the snaps during the Colorado and San Diego State games, then was given the starting nod for the Southern Methodist game.

Those five games were a rough learning experience for Smith, who still was familiarizing himself with the offense, the players and the coaches.
"I really wanted to learn the plays a lot faster," Smith said. "I think I did a pretty good job with the time I had."
But the Kansas State game was the toughest for him — and the turning point.
Smith completed only seven of 27 passes and threw one interception. He was harassed by Wildcat linebackers the entire game and was largely on his own. Five of Kansas' main skill position players were out that game, and Smith spent most of the time scrambling for his life.
Yet, in front of 52,254 rabid K-State fans, Smith found himself relaxed for the first time this year.
"I had fun," Smith said after the game. "It wasn't too bad playing there."
It prepared Smith for Texas A&M and one of the largest crowds he will play in front of all year. It was also probably his best game yet.
He was 17-29 for 141 yards, including one touchdown. But it was his overall improvement, especially his leadership, that pleased Smith and Allen.
"In the huddle I'm starting to be more vocal and comfortable with the players." Smith said.
Allen praises Smith's physical skis but said most of the development a quarterback had
been mental.
"His knowledge of the offense has gotten better, along with making his reads and developing his confidence," Allen said. "Physically he does some things very well, mentally he does some things, but he makes some new guy mistakes."
Smith's improvement has been nothing but a pleasant surprise for Allen, who has embraced his combination of athleticism and throwing ability by incorporating some changes in the offense.
"I don't know if we've ever had the combination of athleticism and arm strength before," Allen said.
Kansas can run the option, quarterback
draws and rollouts, all of which give Smith an opportunity to run the ball when he has the chance — something he was hesitant to do early in the season.
"I like running the ball. I'm just not used to getting hit as much as I have last week," Smith said.
He'll have to get used to being the guy on offense — someone who has to make plays for a team to win — but has no problem with that role.
"I just want the guys to say, 'we don't have to worry about anything because we have Dylen in there,'" Smith said.

Top college teams take perfect records on the road
Time for a road trip for college football top-ranked teams.
Florida State, Penn State and Nebraska, 1-2-3 in The Associated Press' Top 25, hit the road Saturday, and all three can expect tough games as they try to remain undefeated.
The top-rated Seminoles (7-0, 3-0 ACC) are the feature attraction, with coach Bobby Bowden going for career win No. 300, and his son, Clemson coach Tommy, ready to stop him.
The playing status of Florida State's Peter Warrick, suspended the last two games because of legal problems, is expected to be resolved
"If they lose, they lose a national championship," Tommy said. "If we lose, we're 3-4."

Second-ranked Penn State (7-0, 3-0 Big Ten) travels to West Lafayette, Ind., where Drew Brees and No. 16 Purdue (5-2, 2-2) await. Coming off a 52-28 upset of previously unbeaten Michigan State, the Boilermakers hope to pull another surprise.
Nebraska (6-0, 3-0 Big 12) visits Texas (5-2, 2-1) in Austin for the first time since 1960.
Last year, Texas ended Nebraska's 47-game home winning streak with a 20-16 shocker as Major Applewhite threw for 269 yards and two touchdowns and Ricky Williams ran for 150 yards. And in '96, the Longhorns upset the Huskers 37-27 in the first Big 12 Conference title game in St. Louis, denying Nebraska at chance for a third straight national title.

According to the coaches' preseason poll released Tuesday, the Kansas Jayhawks are the favorites to win this year's Big 12 Conference basketball title.
The Jayhawks received 116 points, edging out the second place Texas Longhorns by 3. The 'Hawks also led Texas in first place votes, 6 to 5, with the other first-place vote going to third place Oklahoma State.
The rest of the teams, in order,
were: Oklahoma, Missouri, Iowa
State, Nebraska, Colorado, Texas
Tech, Kansas State, Texas A&M and
Baylor
Points were awarded in descending order with 11 points for first place, no points for last place.
Kansas coach Roy Williams said he was pleased that the Jayhawks were selected first, but he said that he was anxious for his team to prove it.
"I am pleased that people think we are going to be a good team." Williams said. "I think we're going to be a good team myself. I look forward to try to show people that we are a good team once the season starts.
"Honors like this come because you have good potential, and now we've got to turn that potential into success on the court."

One Jayhawk, junior center Eric Chenowith, was an all-league selection, and two other KU players received votes for the first team — junior swingman Luke Axell and sophomore point guard Jeff Boschee.
Joining Chenowith on the first team were Iowa State's Marcus Fizer, Oklahoma's Eduardo Najera, Oklahoma State's Desmond Mason and Texas' Chris Mihm. Mihm also was voted preseason player of the year.
Baylor's Terry Black was voted the top newcomer, and the Jayhawks' Nick Collison was tabbed as the top freshman.
The women's coaches also released their preseason poll Tuesday, and the Kansas women's basketball team found itself in the league's upper ranks too. The Jayhawks were selected second overall, 19 points behind first place Iowa State but 10 points ahead of third place Nebraska.
Kansas senior forward Lynn Pride was named to the All-Big 12 first team and was the only Jayhawk to receive a vote. She also received a vote for presure player of the year, but that honor went to Iowa State's Stacy Frese.
The media will release their preseason polls later this month. The Big 12 women's media day is Oct. 27, and the men's media day is Oct. 28. Both will be held in Dallas.

Four University of Kansas intramural teams claimed titles yester day in the intermural soccer championships.
The men's residence hall championship went to Stephenson Hall, after they knocked off the Spanish Inquisition 2-1. David Harold, Topeka sophomore, said the win meant a lot to his hall.
"We got better throughout the season," he said. "And come tournament time, we played really well."
Harold said he was pleased with his team's play because most of the members of his team hadn't played soccer before.
The winners of the men's open division, however, were no strangers to soccer. The Kuwait Hawks knocked off the Hot Shots with a 3-1 victory
"We've been playing for this moment. We worked hard to reach the final."

yesterday, and looked like they were pretty thrilled after the final whistle.
"We've been playing for this moment," said Mohammed Alhamer, Kuwait City, Kuwait, sophomore. "We worked hard to reach the final."
Alhamer said that all of his teammates had been playing soccer since they were young, and they often played together just for fun.
"KU is a big university, and we want to represent our country," he said. "Winning is good."
Two other soccer championship games were decided on Tuesday in the women's Greek and co-recreational divisions. Pi Beta Pi hauled Theta 7-0 to win the women's greek, while 2nd String edged 6E 2-1, taking the co-rec title.
The men's greek championship will be decided at 4:30 today, when Fiji #1 will play Sigma Nu #1.
Now that football, soccer and sand volleyball are completed, intramurals are now shifting to new action. Floor hockey and indoor volleyball started play Monday, Oct. 18, and entries still are available for the bowling tournament to be held Wednesday, Oct. 27. Also, a swim meet is planned for Wednesday, Nov. 3 at the pool in 115 Robinson. Anyone interested in participating can call the Recreation Services office at 864-3546, or stop by 208 Robinson.

Iowa State's Fizer warns about defense
The Associated Press
AMES, Iowa — Marcus Fizer issued a warning Tuesday. If opponents want to double- and triple-team him this season, they'll do so at their own risk.
IOWA STATE
CYCLORES
For the last two seasons, teams have been able to get away with double-teaming the burly Iowa State forward because the Cyclones' outside shooting has been woeful.
With the addition of five newcomers this season, both Fizer and Coach Larry Eustachy believe the shooting will improve, which in turn should give the 6-foot-8 Fizer more room to operate. But if defenses will want to collapse on
still want to collapse on him, Fizer said that's fine, too.
"I'd much rather people not triple and double-team me," Fizer said. "But they're going to be. But with the talent we have this year, it's going to be a big mistake. They're going to be totally embarrassed."
totally embarrassed by doing it."
Fizer fought through the double teams last season and the lead the Big 12 in scoring with an 18-point average. Now, he said, he can throw the ball back to the guards with the confidence that they'll make the shots.
"My assistant high school coach always told me an assist is better than a miss," Fizer said. "I'll just give my teammates more shots. Having more assists off them is better than我 forcing a shot."
Four of the newcomers are guards: junior college transfers Kantrail Horton, Jamaal Tinsley and Thomas Watkins and freshman Brandon Hawkins. The fifth, 6-5 junior college transfer Richard Evans, can play outside if needed.
Last season, Iowa State's guards shot just 35.6 percent. The only guard returning is senior Michael Nurse, who shot 38 percent while averaging 10.3 points a game.
"I think we've really improved our guard play," said Eustachy, who is starting his second season. "We've made more shots in three days (of practice) than we did all last year, so it's a positive. It's improved markedly. I think. It will really take the stress off our inside game."
Watkins, who averaged 17.2 points at Mesa, Ariz., Community College last season, is the best shooter of the bunch. Tinsley has impressed teammates with his ball handling.
"I've never see one man do so many things with a basketball that's not illegal." Fizer said.
Horton practiced with the team the second half of last season after transferring from Lassen, Calif., Junior College and is likely to be the starting point guard. The 6-1, 225-pounder last played in the 1997-98 season, when he averaged 16.5 points and 6.5 assists at Middle Georgia Junior College.
But Eustachy said the team has to stay healthy, and there already has been a backset. Martin Rancik, a 69 junior, broke the ring finger on his right hand on the first day of practice and will be out four to six weeks.
Losing Rancik is critical because he, Fizer and 6-9 junior Paul Shirley, back after a redshirt season, are the only post players.
Kansas aims to ace its competition at Regional Championships

The Kansas men's tennis team hopes to continue a strong tradition of success as it travels to Wichita this weekend to compete in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Regional Championships.
Teams earn spots in the tournament based on last season's national rankings, and the Jayhawks have earned the maximum eight spots.
The team has a tough reputation to uphold. Luis Uribe won the singles competition the doubles competition with partner
Ed Dus last season.
"This is a big tournament and, traditionally, we have done very well," coach Mark Riley said. "Since I have coached here, we have had two singles winners and two doubles championships and a doubles runner-up. We had the same results before I got here. Traditionally, we are very successful in this tournament."
In the main draw, Kansas sends five players, Alex Barragan, Pete Stroer, Quentin Blakeyen, Eleanar Magallan and Rodrigo Echagayar. The team also sends three in the qualifying round, Ed Dus, Bryan Maier and Sebastian Libertino.
Riley said because all of his players were
KANSAS TENNIS
of such high caliber, he had a hard time making the choice of who to send to the qualifying round.
"Having eight very good singles players makes my decision very hard." Riley said. "Dus, Libertino and Magallan could very easily do well in the main draw. If one of the three of them do very well, it makes my decisions even more difficult. Things aren't very clear cut as to where we are going to be in the spring and who is going to play."
Riley said he did expect to use this tournament to determine who his team leader would be this season.
"Last year, we weren't supposed to do anything or have any kind of standout guy, and then Luis won this tournament and proved to be that guy." Riley said. "I am looking to see who in this group is going to step up. We have eight good players, but I am going to find out who can contribute at the top for us. This tournament should tell me."
Riley's goal is to have eight player's in the tournament field of 64, and his players said they thought they had a chance.
"We have been working on our conditioning and practicing, so I think we are all
ready to play," Echagaray said. "We should do well. I think one of us will win the tournament."
Echagaray said that the team's traditional success at the tournament adds pressure, but that players expected to continue the success.
"We feel pressure because this is a very important tournament," Echagaray said. "Every year, Kansas should dominate this tournament, but very good players can lose on any given day. We should do well, and we expect to do well."

Sophomore gives soccer team heart sense of humor

By Chris Wristen
Allie Heyworth is led by her heart.
When Heyworth, a sophomore midfielder from Carmel, Ind., came to Kansas last fall, she knew she was in the right place.
"My heart just said that this is where I should be," Heyworth said. "On my visit) the team's what really did it."
frustrated.
Although Kansas felt like the right place, she had no idea of the uphill battle that lay ahead. Upon her arrival, she was informed by then-coach Dan Magner that she would redshirt her freshman season. Heyworth was given no say in the decision that left her feeling
"It kind of threw me off guard because I wasn't expecting to redshirt," Heyworth said. "I was looking to hopefully play. It was frustrating because it was a real long season, especially when you are practicing and trying to work hard to get better, and you don't get to play any games."
Heyworth decided that she could handle being a redshirt and used it as motivation to prepare for the next year.
Things changed though. Magner resigned in November after the team struggled to a 5-13-1 record, the worst in team history, December arrived with a new coach, Mark Francis. The program received a face-lift and players underwent a tryout period for Francis before playing the seven-game spring schedule for final tests. Heworth chose to give up her redshirt, costing herself a year of eligibility, to earn a place on the team.
"I figured with a new coach we start off even, and if I start off with
the rest of the team even then I've got as good a chance as anybody else does," Heyworth said. "I just wanted to go out there and prove to him that I can play (at this level)."
Francis took notice and Heyworth earned her place.
Heyworth has shown rapid improvement in her attitude.
"That was huge for her," Francis said. "It was her decision, and she wanted to do it to make the squad, and after the spring we told her she made the team. She did really well in the spring."
"I really got my act together these past couple weeks, and I've just gone hard," Heyworth said. "If I'm going to play then I'm going to play, so I might as well put it all on the line now."
Her attitude and heart also has helped Heyworth make her mark on the team. As one of the most uplifting players, she helps keep the team upbeat.
has something to contribute."
Heyworth credits her family with helping to mold her character.
"Ive always been a motivational person," Heywound said. "My parents are extremely motivational; my sister and my brother-in-law; they've motivated me most of my life."
In addition to being a motivator, she also adds a new branch of humor to the squad, which she attributes to teammates Melanie Schroeder, Melissa Downing and Katie Lents. She and Lents created Rally Caps, which are worn by all players on the bench. The players tie sweatshirts around their heads to pump up the team. These antics should come as no surprise since Heyworth cites Molly Shannon of Saturday Night Live as her role model.
"I have a lot of heart," Heyworth said. "I think I can bring a lot of heart to other players and bring it out of them. If we play with our hearts I think we can do anything."
Rowing team heads to Head of Charles Regatta in Boston

sports@kansan.com
The Kansas rowing team is heading to the Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston this weekend, which is the largest regatta in the world.
More than 5,500 rowers compete in it, and about 400,000 spectators pack bridges at the Charles River's banks to watch the two-day event.
To put that in perspective, about eight sellout crowds at Memorial Stadium would equal the Head of the Charles' attendance.
"It's like Mardi Gras meets the Super Bowl," senior Risa Petty said.
Coach Rob Catloth said the regatta resembled the Kentucky Derby because it was an event everyone came out to see, regardless of whether they were knowledgeable about rowing.
"It's the biggest tailgate party in the world, a carnival almost." Catloth said.
The Head of the Charles Regatta, which began in 1965, is one of the most difficult races in the world because of its numerous turns, including a 180-degree turn and a 90-degree turn. Buoys, floating objects that serve as boundaries for the race, along with bridges and other boats also make the course difficult.
The race starts near the Boston University Boathouse and goes upstream. Boats must navigate under seven bridges the Boston University,

Practicing before the regatta can be rough as well. Nearly 1,000 boats will be practicing on the river tomorrow.
"The Canadian Men's National Team almost killed us (last year)," senior Abby Rosdahl said.
Three events are run on Saturday, while 17 races are decided on Sunday. Divisions range from the Senior Veteran Singles division, which includes participants 70 years of age and older, to Youth 8 divisions consisting of high school rowers. The Jayhawks will be competing in the Championship Eights and Club Eights divisions.
Kansas has competed in the regatta the last two years. In 1997, the Jayhawks' first-varsity eight boat finished 39th out of 50 boats. Last year, Kansas' first-varsity eight did better, finishing 17th out of 50 boats.

Coxswain anchors Jayhawks rowing team
By Shawn Linenberger

Senior Nikia Rosenberger plays a major role in the first varsity boat on the Kansas rowing team, but she doesn't row.
UltraLite VESPOLI USA
Rosenberger is the coxwain,
(pronounced COX-sun) and she
does more than just go along
for the ride.
"People will ask me if I'm the person who sits in the back of the boat," Rosenberger said. "They don't realize everything I have to do."
Ultralite VESPOLI USA
Rosenberger basically is the quarterback of the rowing team. She steers the boat, which will be crucial Sunday when the team competes at the Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston, a race known for it's numerous turns and bridges that coxswains must navigate through and under. Other boats serve as obstacles as well.

"I've been in the race the last two years, so I know the course," Rosenberger said. "But you never know where other boats are going to be, especially under certain bridges where you can't pass. It's not like a highway where you have double-lines."
Assistant coach Jennifer Myers knows the boat is in good hands.
"Her steering is pretty impeccable," Myers said. "Sometimes you're worried about the coxswain, but with Nikia, you can focus on the rowing."
The coxswain sits surrounded by a rope called the cox, which controls the rudder underneath the boat. The quick turns on the Charles River require rowers on either side of the boat to modify their paces in a manner synchronized with both the turning of the rudder and the pace of the other rowers. This only further stresses the importance of a good coxswain.
Another of Rosenberger's duties is checking blade height as the oars come out of the water. They must be level to keep the boat balanced.
She also makes sure the rowers maintain good rowing form. Three things she said she emphasized were the catch, the drive and the recovery. The catch occurs when the blade hits the water, the drive is the motion through the water and the recovery is the final part of the cycle when the oars are above the water.
Rosenberger said she yells "catch" and "drive" quickly to emphasize a quick movement, while she yells "breathe" slowly to keep the rhythm slow for the recovery stage.
"It's all in the synchronization," Rosenberger said. "You can feel people pulling at the can
"Her steering is pretty impeccable. Sometimes you're worried about the coxswain, but with Nikia, you can focus on the rowing."

same time, like one full unit instead of eight people rowing a boat. It's one machine working."
In addition to watching the rowers for synchronization and steering, Rosenberger monitors various rates with the speed coach and cox box. The speed coach is a device that measures
the stroke rate, which is the number of strokes a team can do in a minute. It also measures the stroke rate across a certain distance.
The cox box tallies strokes with the stroke counter and contains an amplifier. The coxswain has a headset, and speakers are positioned near every third seat in the boat.
The headset dispels the stereotype of the coxswain, with megaphone in hand, yelling "stroke! stroke! stroke!" And there are no drums, either.
"People ask if I have a drum like in Ben Hur." Rosenberger said, referring to a scene from the movie in which a coxswain beats a drum to keep the crew rowing in rhythm.
Coach Rob Catloth said coaching a coxswain takes about the same amount of time as rowers, especially at Kansas where most rowers and coxswains, including Rosenberger, are new to the sport.
"You have to teach them how to handle the boat, how to steer straight," Catloth said. "It takes a couple of years.
Catloth also said a coxswain can't be meek and must have self-assuredness. The coxswain must push the rowers to be successful.
"There's a fine line between nagging and someone trying to help," Catloth said.
Rosenberger said there have been times when she's quarreled with the rowers, but she said the team trusts her.
Rosenberger attributes her leadership skills to her positions in high school sports teams. She was a setter in volleyball and a point guard in basketball.
"If a play went wrong on the court, I was the one the coaches yelled at." Rosenberger said. "That's why I'm able to do it now.
"When you win, the rowers did well. When you lose, you feel the cox lost."

Missouri-Kansas rivalry dates back to late 1800s
Continued from page 1B
alumni to "come home" to watch the two budding rivals play, and the first ever Homecoming Game was born. Staying true to the series' neck-and-neck history, the two teams battled to a 3-3 tie. Lawrence played host to its first homecoming in 1912, and The University Daily Kansan implored readers not to tear down the welcome signs made for the Tigers because, it said, "we want to treat the visitors like gentlemen and then defeat them."
The border war comes of age
Mission accomplished: Kansas 12,
Missouri 3.
The border war comes of age
The beginning of the 1930s marked a period of Kansas domination in the series as, in 1930, Kansas scored its largest victory against the Tigers, beating them 32-0. Also, Kansas rolled up its longest winning streak of the series to date, five games, all shutouts, from 1930 to 1934.
In 1960, Kansas scored one of its biggest upsets in school history when the Jayhawks knocked off the top-ranked Tigers 23-7 in Columbia. Despite the fact the win was later forfeited because of Kansas' use of an ineligible player, the loss forced the Tigers out of the national championship picture and into a No. 4 ranking at the season's end.
"Missouri is our most dreaded enemy," said John Hadl, who played halfback on the 1960 team. "It definitely was great to go down and get them knocked off in
In the late 1970s, the rivalry started to wane, which led to some special motivational techniques. Often Fambrough would speak of Quantrill's raid and then try to convince his team that Quantrill graduated from Missouri.
He started talking about Missouri, and that vein popped out in his neck," said former Kansas offensive lineman David Lawrence. "Don looked at us and said, 'I don't know when I started hating those bastards. I think it was when Quantrill came over and burned down Lawrence. You know he was an MU alumnus.' A lot of
guys believed him."
Tuxedo Tony and Jack Daniels A successful season and a possible bowl bid what was the Jayhawks were looking for in 1991, but key injuries and a run of bad luck had the Jayhawks standing at 5-6 entering the season finale against the Tigers on Senior Day at Memorial Stadium. One of the Jayhawk seniors honored that day was Tony Sands running back who earned the nickname "Tuxedo Tony," because he would wear a tuxedo to the stadium for every Kansas game.
Sands set an NCAA record for most carries in a game, 58, and total yards, 396, and was carried off the field by his teammates.
"It was special to see Tony break the record, but it was even more special to beat Missouri," said athletics director Bob Frederick. It would take eight years for a Tiger running back to return the favor. Last season, Missouri entered the game against the Jayhawks ranked No. 25 in the nation and armed with a dangerous option attack led by quarterback Corby Jones and running back Devin West. While Kansas was intent to contain the two, Jones and West both torched the Jayhawks. Jones finished with 139 total yards, while West set a record for most yards given up to a single back by the Jayhawks by rushing for 319 yards.
The game was scarred by an ugly
The game was scarred by an ugly incident during halftime of the
game when Missouri fans pelted the Kansas band with rocks, bottles of Jack Daniels and various other projectiles. Despite the rough atmosphere, Kansas nearly escaped Columbia with a victory, leading 23-20 late in the third quarter. The Jayhawks would fall victim to a pass-interference penalty early in the fourth quarter, and Kansas eventually faltered 41-23.
Upon the blowing of the final whistle, the Missouri faithful rushed the field to tear down the goal posts, an act considered odd by many Kansas fans, since the Jayhawks were picked by most preseason publications in 1998 to finish fifth in the Big 12 Conference's Northern division.
"Rivalry games are what college football is all about," Coach Terry Allen said. "It's a great thing for everybody involved. It makes college football the special game that it is.
"It's always an interesting situation, obviously, still going through that learning curve, if you will, as far as who is Kansas' biggest rival. Is it Missouri or is it Kansas State? I think that you might draw a line, an age line. The older people perceive it as Missouri, maybe the younger people perceive it as Kansas State. But I know one thing, the University of Kansas is Missouri's biggest rival." Quantrill couldn't have said it any

Traditional football prize to march to a new drum
By Michael Rigg sports@kanson.com
Kansas sportwriter
The old "Indian War Drum" has been replaced by this Kansas and Missouri Student Alumni Association drum. Protesters said the old drum was disrespectful to Native Americans led to the switch. The new drum will be given to the winner of Saturday's football game. University Archives
While the 109-year-old Kansas-Missouri football rivalry will continue on Saturday, this week's game also marks the end of a long-standing tradition between the schools.
After 62 years, the "Indian War Drum," annually given to the winner of the Missouri-Kansas football game, officially will be retired by the alumni associations of both the University of Kansas and the University of Missouri.
"The old drum was very stereotypical," Knittel said. "It portrayed Native Americans simply as warriors, while the Native Americans are so much more than just warriors."
Native-American groups have pushed to remove the drum from both universities' traditions. Members of both schools' alumni associations changed the tradition as a response to complaints about the drum's offensive nature to indigenous peoples.
Janna Knittel, a graduate assistant in the department of English, agrees with the change. Last month, Knittel wrote a letter to Chancellor Robert Hemenway protesting the Indian War Drum.
"The drum was a religious instrument, not a trophy," said Kirk Cerny, senior vice president for membership services for the University of Kansas Alumni Association. "We felt that using it as a trophy for a football game was inappropriate."
As an alternative, Saturday's winner will be presented with a traditional band drum with logos from both schools painted on the drum heads.
"In order to be a little more politically correct and to respond to complaints, we decided it was in the best interest of the tradition to carry it on in a different format," said Jennifer Mueller, director of student programs for the Alumni Association. "In my opinion, we've made it look a little classier."
However, not all students were in agreement with the change. David Leigh, Fort Scott sophomore, was sad to see the 62-year-old tradition come to an

"It's too bad to see a tradition like that stop, but we also need to respect other people's cultures." Leigh said.

Baseball
Braves and Yankees to battle in World Series
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — There it is, engraved right on the ring Atlanta Braves general manager John Schuerholz proudly wears; "Team of the '90s."
To him, the Braves already own that title.
No debate needed on the team of the decade,
not even if the New York Yankees take home this World Series trophy.
"To answer that question for the 1,442nd time, we don't need to do anything," Schuerholz said. "We've won more games
than any team, we've won 100 games three years in a row, we've won eight straight division titles."
"If you choose any criteria except one narrow criteria — World Series championships lead it."
Of course, that's not such a narrow category. Not to the Yankees.
"Aren't we the team of the century?" New York GM Brian Cashman said yesterday. "World championships, that's the goal."
Fittingly, the clubs that had the major's two worst records in 1990 get a final chance
to make their cases starting with Game 1 Saturday night at Turner Field.
For Atlanta, it's an opportunity to win that elusive second World Series title. The Braves beat Cleveland in 1995 — prompting them to put that boast on their rings — but have nothing else to show for eight straight trips to the NL Championship Series.
For the Yankees, it's a chance to win their record 25th title and third in four years. That recent run began when they beat Atlanta in six games in 1996.
"We've got another shot at them," Atlanta
third baseman Chipper Jones said.
The Braves earned their fifth trip to the World Series in the 1990s by beating the New York Mets 10-9 in 11 innings Tuesday night in Game 6 of the NLCS. The Yankees beat Boston in five games in the ALCS.
Atlanta took a day off yesterday while New York's practice at Yankee Stadium was rained out. That gave extra time for the Yankees to talk about — or turn down — debate about the top team in the last 10 years.
"Players don't worry about it," catcher Joe Girardi said. "There are a lot of different
players on both teams."
Overall, Atlanta is a major league-best 925-629 in regular-season games during the decade and the Yankees are next at 851-702. Oh, their interleague record against each other? Approximately, 5-5.
The Braves have won titles in the West and East in the 1990s and became the first NL franchise to reach five World Series since the Dodgers in the '50s. The Yankees have gone to the playoffs for five straight years, their best stretch since going to the World Series from 1980-1964.
Braves players different from earlier Series
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — The New York Yankees won't be hitting a crucial offermark Owls Wherins in this World Series. Mark Lemke won't be making the final out for the Atlanta Braves.
Marquis Grissom and Fred McGriff aren't going to be introduced prior to Game 1 at Turner Field. Ditto for Denny Neagle and Steve Avery.
While it's been only three years since the Braves last played in a World Series, a lot has changed since their 1996 loss to the Yankees. These days, it's guys such as John Rocker,
Brian Jordan, Kevin Millwood and Gerald Williams playing key roles for Atlanta.
Braves
The Braves have been a work in process throughout their decade of excellence. Only pitchers Tom Glavine and John Smoltz have been part of every team during an unprecedented run of eight straight postseason appearances since 1991.
"People don't realize how hard it is to get here year after year," general manager John Schuerholz said. "They have no clue."
Jordan is actually two cleanup hitters removed from McGriff, who handled the role in '96. Andres Galarraga, who had 44 homers and 121 RBI last season, missed the year while recovering from cancer in his back.
Neagle was the Braves' fourth starter in the last Series, a role now handled by Millwood. The 24-year-old right-hander became Atlanta's most consistent starter while the Cy Young triumvirate of Greg Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz went through assorted struggles.
Rocker is the Braves' third closer in three years. Wohlers, who surrendered that Series-turning homer to Jim Leyritz three years ago, suddenly forgot how to throw strikes.
"The character we have, the heart we have in this locker room," said Jordan, who's been bothered by a sore hand since being hit by a pitch in late June. "We've proved a lot of people wrong."
New York yearned for match with Mets
Instead team begins to prepare for Atlanta
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — They gathered around TV sets, southing their World Series opponent and wondering what mayhem a Subway Series would bring.
The New York Yankees knew what would have been in store: demands for tickets, screaming front-page headlines, dueling fans on talk radio.
The pressure would have been excruciating. This, after all, is a team whose owner can't stand losing exhibitions to the crosstown team.
"Iran the gamut of emotions during that game." David Cone said yesterday about Atlanta's 10-9, 11-inning win Tuesday night against the New York Mets.
setting up a rematch between the Braves and Yankees in the World Series.
"I was thinking what would a Subway Series be like. I don't think any of us could imagine what it would have been like. It would have been a once in a lifetime experience," said Cone, who played six seasons with the Mets.
Yankees
It has been 43 years since two New York teams played in the World Series. After the Dodgers and Giants left New York for California following the 1957 season, what once happened seven times in a 10-year period hadn't come close to occurring again until this season.
And after the Mets rallied from 5-0 and 7-3 deficits to take the lead twice in Game 6 against the Braves, the Yankees were prepared for it to happen again.
"When they pulled ahead I thought we were going to
have a Subway Series," said Yankees general manager Brian Cashman, who probably would have received the brunt of the criticism from owner George Steinbrenner if the Yankees actually lost to the Mets.
"There certainly would have been a lot more at stake that a world championship," Cashman said. "There would have been city bragging rights, which would have been a story within a story. Now it's just the World Series and that's how it should be. I can't fathom what it would have been like in the city."
Joe Girardi can. The phone wouldn't stop ringing with ticket requests. And the road would have offered no escape because there would be no road.
"It would have been a pain in the neck in a way," Girardi said.
But for some, especially former Met Allen Watson, it would have been a chance to settle a score. Watson, a New Yorker who signed with the Mets last winter, was traded to Seattle this year before finally ending up with the Yankees.
Former controversial Twins owner dies at 87

his daughter-in-law. She said he had a pacemaker put in three to four weeks ago and had been in a rehabilitation center in Florida.
Griffith moved the Washington Senators after the 1960 season and the team became the Minnesota Twins. He sold the club to Minneapolis banker Carl Pohlad in 1844, ending 65 years of franchise ownership by his family.
Griffith was intent on holding the line on escalating salaries. But for all the acrimony that stance created, his lowest moment came during a speech to a local Rotary club in 1978.
"Black people don't go to ball games, but they fill up a rassling ring and put up such a chant they'll scare you to death," he said. "We came (to Minnesota) because you've got good, hard-working white people here."
The Minneapolis Star wrote a frontpage editorial calling for Griffith to sell the team. Griffith said his words were taken out of context, but civil rights groups called for a boycott of Twins games. Rod Carew, whose contract was soon to expire, said he would no longer play on Griffith's plantation. Carew left Minnesota for the Angels in 1979.
Under Griffith, the Twins led the American League in attendance their first 10 seasons, featuring such stars as Harmon Killebrue, Tony Oliva, Zoilo Versalles. Bob Allison and Carew.
Griffith was a bat boy in 1924-25 for the Senators, the team for which his uncle and adopted father became a Hall of Fame pitcher. He worked in every capacity in the minors and majors before taking control of the Senators from Clark Griffith.
Rockies sign manager
Buddy Bell to emphasize defense, team chemistry
The Associated Press
DENVER — Describing himself as a player's manager who will emphasize defense and team chemistry, Buddy Bell was hired yesterday as the Colorado Rockies' new manager.
Bell, 48, who managed the Detroit Tigers from 1996-98, becomes the third manager in the Rockies' seven-

year history, succeeding Jim Leyland, who retired after this season.
Bell, who worked for the Cincinnati Reds for the past year, most recently as director of player development, signed a three-year contract thought to be worth about $2.25 million.
Dan O'Dowd, hired as general manager a month ago, said Bell was the perfect fit for this ball club.
"He knows the game. He knows how it should be played, and he will demand that from each and every one
of our players." O'Dowd said.
Bell finished runnerup in the 1997 AL Manager of the Year balloting after leading the Tigers to a 79-83 record, a 26-game improvement from the previous year. But the Tigers cut their payroll for 1998, and Bell was fired in his third season on Sept. 1, 1998, after a 52-65 mark.
"My run in Detroit was great as long as it lasted," Bell said during a news conference. "I think it taught me I could manage. It also taught me about getting along with people in the organization, how important scouting and player development are, the business side of things."
One of the best fielding third basemen of his generation, Bell played 18 seasons in the majors for Cleveland, Texas. Cincinnati and Houston.
Bell worked with O'Dowd when they were in the Cleveland organization.
"My initial appeal for this job, obviously, was because of Dan O'Dowd," Bell said. "I trust Dan's leadership, I enjoy his aggressiveness and I understand his plan."
Bell said getting adjusted to the high-altitude dangers of Coors Field will take some time.

Pro Football
Chiefs, Ravens prepare for slugfest
The Associated Press
BALTIMORE — The beauty of Gunther Cunningham's approach to football is the sheer simplicity of it.
Cunningham, the workaholic first-year coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, is conservative by nature. So is his game plan.
"Their whole mentality is to play good defense, not turn the ball over, run the ball and when you get tired of that, run the ball some more," said Baltimore Ravens coach Brian Billick. "It's a sound philosophy."
Billick used plenty of aerial weaponry last year as offensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings. But in an effort to make things easy for inexperienced quarterback Stoney Case, he has employed a low-risk attack that would make Cunningham proud.
Ravens running back Errict Rhett had three straight 100-yard games before the Tennessee Titans brought eight men up to the line of scrimmage in Baltimore's last game, an ugly 14-11 loss.
"Their defense made it very clear
that they were going to make it difficult for us to run," Billick said.
So when the Ravens (2-3) and Chiefs (3-2) play tonight, the sellout crowd at PSINet Stadium and a national television audience probably will witness a rugged game in which field position and field goals play a key role.
At least that's the way Billick sees it.
"I'm looking for a slugfest. Their games have been like our games, where it pushes to the edge and somebody makes a play to impact a 17-14, 20-17 game," he said.
While Rhett has received the majority of carries for Baltimore, the Chiefs have utilized several backs, including former Raven Bam Morris. Kansas City averages 135 yards rushing using an approach that is effective, yet far from scintillating.
"Somebody said this is a boring team and they run the same plays over and over again," Cunningham said. "The more they say that, the better I like it."
CHIEFS
Billick used a wide-open passing
scheme with Vikings, who scored an NFL record 556 points in 1998. But Billick doesn't have Randall Cunningham, Cris Carter or Randy Moss anymore.
Case had one career NFL start before this season, and his inexperience showed against the Titans. With Tennessee daring him to pass, Case completed only 15 of 37 throws and failed to produce a touchdown.
The Chiefs would be silly not to use the same strategy, and Billick knows it.
"They're very aggressive and confident on defense," he said. "I would imagine he will bring his safety up for most of the game.
"The only way to combat an eightman front is hurt them on the outside with it. That puts a premium on the receivers and Stoney being efficient out there."
The Ravens sure could use another wide receiver like Jermaine Lewis, who has a knack for finding a seam
in the defense and is elusive enough to turn a short pass into a touchdown.
Lewis has been limited to 10 catches this season and has yet to score, mainly because he is the team's lone big-play threat and therefore usually must fight double coverage.
"I'd love to have a big game," he said. "I don't think I have to prove anything, but I still see it as an opportunity for them to see what they let get away."
If only Baltimore still had Derrick Alexander, whose name is mentioned prominently under virtually every receiving category in the Ravens' record book. Alexander now plays for the Chiefs and would love to show the Ravens exactly what they're missing.
Alexander might get his chance, but he's hardly the main focus of the Baltimore defense.
"This is the type of game you don't have to even think about what they are going to do," said middle linebacker Ray Lewis. "You know they are going to run the ball. ... That is what they believe in, so it is going to be a very physical game."
Parcells denies that Williams is neglected
The Associated Press
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. — Bill Parcells insisted yesterday the New York jets have not abandoned Kevin Williams, the defensive back who is on a respirator with a mysterious throat and lung infection.
Parcello took exception to the portrayal of the team's conduct by Jerome Stanley, Williams' agent. Stanley contends the Jets have not
Williams, who is in intensive care at Lenox Hill Hospital.
Stanley said the team put Williams on the reserve, nofootball iniury list so it wouldn't
have to pay his client for the rest of the season.
JETS
"We've never had a grievance filed here in three years," Parcells said. "That's because we try to do what we think is in everyone's best interest all the time, and I would charge you to find many other teams that can make that statement.
Kevin had earned about 6/16th of his salary. We elected to pay him half of the remaining amount he
was due. But in doing so I made another move that was, in fact, vastly economically more beneficial to the plaver."
Williams will get approximately $175,000 from his $250,000 base salarv.
"We had the option of not paying anything," Parcels said. "But in electing not to put him on (nonfootball injury list) prior to the sixth game, I assured him a credited.

I thought that was in the player's best interest. Some people say that wasn't. Ask the people who are talking about these things if they'd prefer it "way."

The 24-year-old Williams is in his second season with the Jets. He is a backup safety and kick returner who appeared in four games this season.
Then he contracted the illness that originally was diagnosed as strep throat. He has had three surgical procedures to clear fluid from this throat and around his lungs. Parcells said doctors were cautiously optimistic.

Rams kick returner receives suspension
ST. LOUISE — Earlier this week, St. Louis Rams coach Dick Vermeil said Tony Horne's two scoring kickoff returns were due mostly to blocking.
The Associated Press
"The returns he's made are based on overall execution, which is not a negative in regard to him," Vermeil said Monday. "Most NFL returners could have returned them."
Vermail might have been dropping a broad hint that the team was about to lose the NFL's leading return man to a four-game substance abuse suspension. Horne decided not to appeal the suspension on Tuesday, the Rams received official notification in a two-sentence letter, and Horne and his 36-yard average were shut down until the San Francisco
game Nov. 21.
Horne can't participate in any team activities until Nov. 15. Another offense would mean a one-year suspension.
"It's a disappoint-
ing si fa te
It's a disappointment because he let himself down and he let his teammates down and he let his coaching staff and his city down." Vermilel said yesterday. "There's a price to pay for the mistakes you make and he's paying the price."
Teammates didn't seem particularly shocked by the news.
"He made a mistake, and we're just going to move on from it," linebacker Mike Jones said. "It's a long season so you're going to have some adversity."
The replacement for Horne, 23, is Ron Carpenter, a defensive back who led the NFL with a 27.2-yard kickoff return average in 1995. He had a best of 58 yards that year and also returned four kickoffs for touchdowns in the Arena League last season.
"I don't know if he's a Tony Horne; there aren't many of them around," Vermeil said. "But I expect him to do a real good job."
If Carpenter doesn't work out, Vermeil also could use Az-Zahir Hakim, who had an 84-yard punt return for a touchdown against Cincinnati on Oct. 3., or Torry Holt.

— period.
Carpenter was among the final
"I'm just itching to get out there." Carpenter said. "I'm looking forward to running down on kickoff coverage and hitting somebody. I haven't hit anybody in five weeks."
At 6-foot-1 and 203 pounds, Carpenter is four inches taller and 30 pounds heavier than Horne. He's also a step slower.
"I'll hit the hole right away instead of trying to use my speed to outflank some guys," he said. "And hopefully I'll break open, I can get down the field."

ing and Horne's suspension means he has failed at least two drug tests. Under most circumstances, a four game suspension means a player has failed three drug tests.
The first offense results in an evaluation; a second offense results in a fine; and a third offense brings a four-game suspension. Vermeil wouldn't divulge any details of the suspension, citing confidentiality.
Occasionally, a four-game suspension comes after a second failure of a drug test, particularly if he had substance abuse problems in college. Horne was arrested on a driving under the influence of alcohol charge at Clemson.
Horne was signed by the Rams in 1998 as an undrafted rookie and was the special teams player of the year after setting a team record with 1,306 yards on 56 returns. He returned a kickoff 102 yards for a touchdown that season against Atlanta.
Horne returned a kick 97 yards for a touchdown Oct. 10 against San Francisco and followed up with a 101 yard return at Atlanta on Sunday.
"What he gave us was the blind confidence in his ability to attack coverage," Vermell said. "He didn't care who was coming, he takes them on. It'll be tough to duplicate that."

Vaccine may help fight prostate cancer
The Associated Press
BALTIMORE — A team of Johns Hopkins Oncology Center researchers has developed a vaccine that helps strengthen the body's immune system against prostate cancer, according to a study published in the journal Cancer Research.
The study, released Tuesday, showed that a vaccine can trigger the immune system to fight cancer in the manner it fights infection, said physician Jonathan Simons, who led the study.
"For years, people have said there is no way to turn the immune system against prostate cancer," he said. "We were astounded to find that every part of the immune system was alerted and turned on."
Researchers injected 11 prostate cancer patients with a genetically engineered vaccine. The patients had their prostates removed prior to the clinical trials, but their cancer still was spreading.
Tumor shrinkage occurred in eight of the 11 patients, according to study.
"We re-educated the immune system to recognize prostate cancer cells as a potential infection and attack them," said Simons.
The experiment produced not only the release of T-cells as researchers had hoped, but also the production of antibodies against cancer, Simons said. Both are key weapons of the immune system.
Physician William J. Catalona, director of urologic surgery at Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis, said the results seem promising, but cancer patients shouldn't hang their
hopes on such vaccines in the near future.
In the Hopkins study, scientists removed tumors from each of the 11 patients, chopped up the tissue and grew them on laboratory culture dishes.
A gene called GMF-CSF, which produces a protein that alerts tissues to the presence of foreign substances, was inserted into the cancer cells.
The vaccine was then irradiated to prevent any further cancerous growth and injected into the patients' thighs, like a flu shot.
Clinton to meet with Palestinian, Israeli leaders
President hoping to minimize defeats
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Resuming Middle East diplomacy, President Clinton will meet next month in Norway with Prime Minister Ehud Barak of Israel and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat to spur talks on an overall settlement.
The aim is to conclude an agreement on the future of Jerusalem, Palestinian statehood aspirations and several other thorny issues by next September — four months before Clinton leaves office.
"There is no greater priority for this president." Sandy Berger, his
assistant for national security, said yesterday in announcing Clinton would meet separately and then together with Barak and Arafat on Nov. 2 in Oslo.

Still, Berger said this would be a serious meeting and the United States intends to play a central role in the process.
Speaking to the Israel Policy Forum, a private group that backs U.S. peacemaking efforts, Berger said a Middle East that is stable and at peace is critical to America's interests.
Computer hackers alter Bush campaign Web site
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The day after presidential candidate George W. Bush redesigned his campaign's Web site, hackers vandalized it by replacing his photo with a hammer and sickle and calling for a new October revolution.
Representative, Mindy Tucker,
said the campaign's more sensitive computer operations — such as its e-mail system and contribution records — were protected on other machines and weren't thought to have been compromised.
PETER HARRIS
Bush: his new campaign Web site was hacked into
The embarrassing security lapse Tuesday came the day after the Bush campaign launched its Internet site, www.georgebwush.com
"We have taken steps to make sure this particular problem is fixed, and we are looking at other ways to further secure the site," Tucker said.
The campaign was considering whether to formally notify the authorities.
A review of the Bush site by The Associated Press listed computer files plainly visible that experts including the Microsoft Corp.
recommend deleting for security reasons. One file includes instructions for users to edit Web pages on the site.
The Web site runs software from Microsoft, called Internet Information Server, that has suffered several serious security problems during the past year. Microsoft has distributed patches in each case but relies on local computer administrators to install them correctly.
Another security expert, Weld Pond, said there was no question that the Bush campaign neglected to remove remnants of sample computer code, which made the site vulnerable.
"That's probably how they got in," said Pond, a consultant with Lopht Heavy Industries of Boston. "The fact that there are these sample files on there is pretty problematic, meaning they didn't take much effort to secure it."
Tucker said the campaign's own investigation found that the altered Web page was accessible by the public for fewer than five minutes before a backup system kicked in and restored the vandalized text with a fresh copy.
"The (hammer and sickle) image wasn't subtle," said Jeremy Pinnix, a director at a Nashville, Tenn., design company. He noticed the change while looking at the site early Tuesday and captured a snapshot of the altered page.

Russian attacks in Chechnya near Grozny
Troops may or may not enter capital city
The Associated Press
GROZNY, Russia—Russia artillery pounded the outskirts of Chechnya's capital yesterday, making the earth tremble in parts of Grozny, while President Boris Yeltsin met with top officials near Moscow to discuss the next phase of the offensive.
Russia's strategy since sending ground troops into Chechnya to crush Islamic militants three weeks ago has been to slowly advance from three directions but to stop short of Grozny. Russian forces were devastated by street fighting with guerrillas in the capital during the 1994-96 war, which left the republic with de facto independence.
Russia has indicated that it does not plan to enter Grozny, but Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said yesterday that the
troops would not stop and that they would fulfill] their task to the end.
Yeltsin's representative Dmitry Yakushkin said the president's meeting with Chief of Staff Alexander Voloshin. Defense Minister Igor Sergeyev and Interior Minister Valdimir Rushato focused on the second phase of the operation, but he did not give specifics. The officials met at Yeltsin's country retreat, where he still is recovering from the flu.
Russia sent troops into the separatist republic Sept. 30, following weeks of airstrikes, to eliminate Islamic militants who invaded neighboring Dagestan twice this summer and who are blamed for a series of September apartment explosions in Russia that killed some 300 people.
Heavy shelling hit Pervomaiskaya and Tolstoy-Yurt. 10 miles from central Grozny. The roar of shelling echoed in the capital's streets and the ground shook in the northern suburbs.
Chechen fighters in northern positions in the capital could easily see Russian troops through their binoculars, conducting drills and doing morning exercises.
"The troops will not stop. They will fulfill their task to the end."
Vladimir Putin
Russian Prime Minister
The Chechen chief of staff for the southwestern front, Isa Astamirov, said Russian long-range artillery also pounded the large town of Bamut, a key base for rebels. In Urus-Martan, another sizable southern town, nine people died in shelling that began Tuesday and continued overnight, local administrator Khavazh扎 bashtayev said.
Chechen fighters reportedly launched sporadic raids in the north. But Russia appeared to have firm control of the northern third of the republic, where the terrain is open and less densely populated than the hills and mountains of the south.
Putin, whose popularity has soared since the offensive began, visited a Russian air force base, where he met pilots carrying out airstrikes and flew in an Su-25 warplane during a training flight.
The prime minister said the air campaign allowed the Russia to avoid exposing large numbers of ground troops to attack. He later stopped in the southern towns of Kraskarod and Mozdok, both to the west of Chechnya.
Putin also discussed the refugee crisis in southern Russia. More than 160,000 people have streamed out of Chechnya since the fighting started. Most of the refugees are camping in Ingushetia, which borders Chechnya to the west, and local authorities have pleaded for more assistance before winter.
"The position of the refugees is disastrous," Yuri Yezhov, of the Russian Red Cross, told ITAR-Tass. Yezhov accompanied a shipment of 3,500 winter jackets for the refugees but said the most critical shortage was tents.
Mandela endorses violence as a last resort in talks
Afterthought to speech on peace in Middle East excites Palestinian crowd
The Associated Press
SHATI REFUGEE CAMP, Gaza Strip — Violence becomes an option when peace talks break down, Nelson Mandela told the Palestinians yesterday, eliciting thunderous applause from a people drinking up the moral support of an icon for freedom.
That earned two minutes of applause.
The warning from the former South African president was an afterthought to a speech otherwise strongly supportive of the peace the Palestinians are pursuing with Israel.
"Then, if the only alternative is violence, we will use violence."
"Our men and women with vision choose peace rather than confrontation, except in cases where we cannot get, where we cannot proceed, where we cannot move forward," he told the Palestinian Legislative Assembly, addressing its members as brothers.
The Palestinians, eager to press Israel to accelerate the peace process, seized on the speech to reinforce demands for a full Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
"No doubt, Mandela's speech has great
meaning," said Kadoura Fares, a member of Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction. "This man has worked all his life for peace [but] this cannot be achieved if Israel does not implement agreements fully and honestly."
Mandela called for an Israeli withdrawal from all Arab lands and the establishment of an international commission to supervise the
PENGUIN CITY
peace process. Israel captured the West Bank and Gaza during the 1967 Middle East War.
Mandela: advocated violence if talks did not work
His affection for the Palestinians was clear, but Mandela also expressed sympathy for the Israeli view.
"I understand why they occupied territory during the [1967] war and after the war," he said, and urged all Arabs to grant Israel firm and unequivocal recognition of a right to exist within secure borders.
Arafat has recognized Israel, but some Palestinians want a final status agreement to include the right of Palestinians to return to all parts of the land, including Israel's pre-1967 borders.
Mandela led the African National Congress from a prison cell for 27 years before leading South Africa's transition from apartheid to democracy and becoming president. He retired in June.
Concluding his Mideast tour with a hero's welcome in Gaza, he repeatedly invoked the similarity between the struggle of Palestinians and nonwhites in South Africa.
"The histories of our two peoples, Palestinian and South African, correspond in such painful and poignant ways, that I intensely feel myself being at home amongst compatriots," he said.
Mandela recalled a time when both movements were treated as pariahs by the
international community - a period that saw the forging of close bonds between the Palestinians and the ANC.
"The long-standing fraternal bonds between our two liberation movements are now translating into the relations between two governments," Mandela said.
It was an admiration readily recipi-
cated when Mandela toured a refugee
camp that he said reminded him of con-
ditions at home.
Posters bearing Mandela's image dotted walls, and banners read "Our dreams will come true through your support."
The pupils at the Shati refugee girls' school waited in the sandlot that functions as their yard, hoisting Palestinian and South African flags.
When Mandela arrived, the girls burst into cheers and lined up to shake his hand, bewildering him with blessings in Arabic. Crammed two to a desk in a classroom, they sang in English, "Good morning, we are happy to see you."
Mandela, charmed, responded by asking,
"Can I sing you a song?" The class shouted
"Yes!" and listened attentively as he sang
"Twinkle. Twinkle, Little Star."
Appeals court reversal could prove deadly for big tobacco
The Associated Press
MIAMI—A state appeals court yesterday reversed course and revived the threat of a crippling multibillion-dollar punitive damage award against big tobacco.
The third District Court of Appeal ruled that the jury in a landmark class-action case involving 500,000 Florida smokers can award punitive damages in a single lump sum instead of deciding cases one smoker at a time.
Tobacco attorneys argued before a three-judge appeals court panel for damage decisions on a smoker-bysmoker basis. The companies could more easily defend against individual lawsuits than one large suit carrying a potentially huge verdict.
In July, jurors found the nation's five largest cigarette makers and industry groups had produced a defective and deadly product. The same jury is to determine damages in the second phase of the trial, to begin Nov. 1.
"The stakes have suddenly become humongous," said Northeastern University law professor Richard Daynard, head of an anti-tobacco clearinghouse. "The fate of the industry rests on this jury that has already found that the industry has behaved outrageously."
The appeals court had ruled Sept. 3 that damage claims in the landmark smoking case must be considered case by case, raising the prospect of more manageable multimillion-dollar individual awards.
The appeals court vacated its decision later that month and called for oral arguments.
Dan Webb, lead attorney for the tobacco companies, insisted today that a single award would cause an enormous amount of irreparable harm to the industry.
Presiding Judge David L. Levy asked Webb why tobacco lawyers didn't raise the punitive damage issue earlier, since the structure was set by another judge almost two years ago.

'Tapers' grab music via high-tech, covert recording gear

Dyanor for Pink 10k.
*Don't worry — 36-year-old Lawrence resident David Hale did. And, for a blank tape and a little conversation, he will share.*
Hale is a "taper," part of the music industry's subculture of recorders who record
shows for the love or for the money, ignoring artist restrictions or legal ramifications.
Hale's repertoire includes tapes of Pink Floyd, Willie Nelson, Emmy Lou Harris, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and his favorite, the Grateful Dead.
He started taping at his sixth Grateful Dead show in 1987. He taped every single Dead show he attended after that — more than 100.
Hale said the Dead had special sections set aside for tapers.
"You wrote taper on your ticket, they sent you a taper ticket," he said. "The Dead were going to let you do it, but you had to play by their rules."
Hale's interest in taping soon grew beyond the Grateful Dead. He began
his favorite genre, bluegrass. "I've got the Dixie Chicks before they ever released an album," he said.
they ever released an album, the cool Hale has invested thousands of dollars into his taping hobby. He uses state-of-the-art sneaker microphones and digital audio tapes.
While this equipment can be bulky, Hale said it usually wasn't a problem sneaking it in.
"Most of the time, I sneak everything in a funny pack and down my pants," he said.
He has employed more drastic measures, including wearing cowboy boots and massive wicker hats.
"When I had hair, it was a lot easier," he said, "I could just
tuck the mics in there.
The man tied up taping, he said, is to go unnoticed.
"You just sit there very patiently and not say a damn thing," he said.
Hale's extensive tape library has taken control of his living room. It fills three cabinets, several shelves and space under his furniture.
Matt Hoerman, Topeka junior, said he bought music bootlegs that were hard to find on the mainstream market. Hoerman, host of KJHK's "Bedlam-a-go-go," said he played bootlegs on the underground '60s rock show.
"It's great music, and it's impossible to find elsewhere." Hoerman said.
While Hale said he tapped because it was his passion, taping is a source of income for others.
Bootleg recordings can be found at a number of downtown record stores.
See MUSIC-HUNTERS on page 2A
The recording DAT and power source are small enough to fit into a fanny pack. Above and inset: Taper David Haie models his microphones. The sunglasses, which house two microphones for stereo recording, are inconspicuous enough to allow him to enter the city.

Former curator honored with plaque at museum
Carlyle S. Smith was honored Oct. 15 with a bronze plaque now permanently hanging at the Museum of Anthropology.
Smith was the curator at the museum and a professor of anthropology at the University of Kansas from 1947-81. He died in 1981
Smith researched different areas of the world throughout his life. His early research focused on the coast of New York State and Long Island, where he was born. He also researched the Great Plains, where he particularly studied South Dakota at the prehistoric site, "Talking Crow." This research is documented in his book Talking Crow.
Alfred E. Johnson, director of the anthropology museum, said he remembered Smith fondly.
"He was a kind, generous man who was dedicated to his profession and maintained high scientific standards," Johnson said. "He was also an individual who was outspoken and absolutely opposed any bigotry."
A Carlyle S. Smith fund will be awarded to professors and students for research.

KU student's car stolen, recovered next morning
A KU student's car was stolen Wednesday evening from a campus lot and was recovered by police early yesterday morning on Missouri Street.
Sgt. Randy Kern of the KU Public Safety Office said that the car, a 1990 Honda valued at $4,000, was stolen out of lot 102 behind Oliver Hall. It was spotted in the 2900 block of Missouri Street Wednesday night, but the residents living in the area did not report it until early yesterday morning.
Kern said that there were no damage estimates or suspects.
"The residents called the Lawrence Police Department who, after entering plates, realized the car was reported stolen," Kern said. "The LPD contacted our department, and we notified the owner that his vehicle had been recovered."

KLZR ignores petition despite 6,514 names
A petition with 6,514 signatures did not convince the Lazer's manager Wednesday to reinstitute the station's modern rock format.
Hank Booth, KLZR 105,9 general manager, informed a group of people who gave him a copy of the petition
that he respected their conviction, but that their work was done in vain.
Booth said a survey conducted by the station had revealed that modern rock was declining in listenership, a trend occurring across the country.
"The bottom line is the research we did in Douglas County showed there was not a large number of people who would listen to modern rock," Booth said. "It is a format that has eaten itself alive. As soon as we played an alternative song and it became popular, it went Top 40."
Booth said that Top 40 music brought in more listeners and that KLZR had a responsibility to clients and advertisers to play music that would expose them to the most people.
The petition was taken from a Web site on which dissenters could sign it in an attempt to coerce the radio station into abandoning its Top 40 format.
"I appreciate their effort and the fact that they're passionate about the radio station," Booth said.

Baptists to distribute anti-Hinduism booklets
NEW YORK—The Southern Baptist Convention — the nation's largest Protestant denomination — is urging its members to pray for the millions of Hindus "lost in the hopeless darkness of Hinduism."
Some 30,000 booklets to be issued Monday in time for Divali, the major Hindu festival of lights, calls for the conversion of those "who worship gods which are not God." The booklet says that Hindus have no concept of sin or personal responsibility.
"There is a clearer definition that Hinds are lost," he said, adding: "We're all lost without Jesus Christ."
The denomination previously published booklets soliciting prayers for Muslims and Jews, offending leaders of those faiths.
The language in this publication is harsher, said Louis Moore, the book's editor.
Divali is a major festival, dedicated to Laksmil, goddess of prosperity and goodness.
Umaa Mysorekar, president of the Hindu Temple of Flushing in New York and secretary-treasurer of the Council of Hindu Temples, said the timing of the publication was insulting.
Mysorekar said the thinking contained in the guide was not only absurd but also ignorant.
"I don't think Jesus himself would have said not to respect other religions," Mysekaran said.
Kansas City, Mo., schools to lose accreditation in May
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Loss of accreditation in Kansas City schools was met with anger toward an administration that parents say has failed the city's children and tied the hands of district teachers.
The state Board of Education voted yesterday to revoke Kansas City's accreditation in May 2000 because of the district's failure to meet any of the state standards for student performance. The district had been provisionally accredited since 1993.
The board did not strip accreditation from the St. Louis district.Instead, it voted unanimously to give St. Louis two years to improve its performance on academic standards.
In the last 30 years, the Kansas City has had 19 school superintendents, faced a longrunning desegregation lawsuit and had school board members accused of pursuing politics and personal agendas at the expense of the children.
School field trip ends when bus, truck collide
CENTRAL BRIDGE, N.Y. — A bus transporting elementary school pupils on a Halloween-time field trip collided with a dump truck this morning, injuring dozens of youngsters.
The students were first and second-graders at Albany school No. 118. They were being taken to visit a pumpkin patch in Schoharie County, about 30 miles west of Albany, when the crash happened shortly after 10:30 a.m., school representative David Albert said.
Two students were listed in critical condition after being airlifted to Albany Medical Center, and an adult with grave injuries also was being transported via helicopter for treatment, hospital officials said.
At least 41 other people were taken to hospitals in Albany and elsewhere, authorities said. Two were in stable condition, and two were listed as fair, said hospital officials. The conditions of the rest were not immediately known.
Music-hunting tapers go to concerts wired for sound
The Associated Press
Continued from page 1A
"Places will sell them for a lot of money," Hoerman said. "It's kind of unethical."
He said that the ethics of boot-legging were complex.
"Sometimes it's just for the love of the music," he said. "Sometimes you're ripping off the band."
Hale agreed, and said he knew about a lot of taping for money that went on in the Kansas City area but not as much in Lawrence.
CD burners and Internet trading posts have given bootlegging a technological boost. Not only can tapers copy large amounts of music onto the most popular medium, they now have a market to approach fans all across the world.
Nick Jekic, an employee at Microtech Computers, 2540 Iowa St., said CD burners just recently had become best-sellers.
A lot more people are interested in them," he said. "And the price is coming down, and that helps."
Jekie said a CD burner sold for about $250.
"A lot of people just want to make
their own CDs or back up their software," he said.
The trading post at www.bootlegs.com offers Nirvana's last show for $14, Pink Floyd concerts for $15 and counterfeit Beatles albums for $20. It also posts pleas from fans who "will pay dearly" for MXPX videos or Elvis recordings.
But Hale said he preferred to tape and trade the old-fashioned way, with cassettes and stamped envelopes. He said he would never make the transition to CDs.
"CDs are really transient," he said. "They aren't archival. I want something that's in it for the long haul. I don't want my recording dying by the wayside because of a low-quality medium."
Eric Mater, manager of 7th Heaven, 1000 Massachusetts St., said his store only sold live-recording CDs.
"That's what people buy," he said.
In March, Johnson County police confiscated 7,800 bootleg CDs from music stores, and charges eventually were filed.
After that episode, Mater said his store tried to liquidate its bootleg stock. He attributed the crackdown on bootlegs to the music industry.
Mater said he would only deal with more well-established dealers.
"Artists don't get royalties; the rich want to get richer." he said. "They complain to their labels, and the labels press law enforcement."
"Some of these guys would pull up in a truck or a car, and have us look through a bunch of stuff in their trunk," he said. "If I buy it from a catalog, I don't feel like I'll get in as much trouble."
In his 12 years taping, Hale has been caught only once — at a recent Natalie Merchant concert. A security guard took his tape and threw him out.
The episode didn't really faze him, though.
"If artists won't let you, who cares? Tape it anyway," he said. "It's so easy to get away with."

Speaker urges communication between gays, religious right
By Erinn R. Barcomb writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A member of the Lawrence religious community urged members of Queers and Allies last night to open communication lines between the Christian community and gays, lesbians, bisexuals and the transgendered.
Hensarling spoke about the issue in advance of a meeting tomorrow between the Rev. Mel White, a gay Christian minister, and the Rev. Jerry Falwell, a fundamentalist Christian minister known nationally for his anti-gay rhetoric. Tomorrow, 200 representatives from both the homosexual community and the fundamentalist Christian community will gather at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., for White and Falwell's meeting. Falwell is the university's chancellor.
The Rev. Heather Hensarling of United Methodist Campus Ministry spoke to an audience of about 20 last night at a Queers and Allies meeting at the Kansas Union.
Buck Rowland of KJHK 90.7 interviewed White, whose Web site is www.soulforce.org. Saturday on the station's "Queer Radio" program. He sent out CDs of the interview to radio distributors, and Saturday's show was broadcast across the nation when the interview was picked up by PlanetOut Radio this week.
The interview can be heard on the PlanetOut Radio Web site. www.planetout.com.
Rowland said he had received criticism after Saturday's interview from some individuals of the Lawrence homosexual community who did not agree with collaboration between gays and Christians.
In her speech, Hensarling said it was important for the gay community and its straight allies to enter into a dialogue with the religious community. She said that because of the lack of such a dialogue, the religious right was describing homosexuals in its own terms.
"The religious right is determining for the nation what homosexuality is, and they're using the wrong definition," Hensarling said. "We didn't start talking about homosexuality until our sons starting dying of AIDS."
She also stressed the importance of the gay community returning to church and the importance of non-Christian gays' involvement in the dialogue also.
Hensarling, an ordained United Methodist minister, said she was involved in a full inclusion movement in which gays were welcome to be ordained and to enter marriety. She said the United Methodist Church had a "don't ask, don't tell" policy regarding the ordination of homosexuals. She said she had to live under this policy.
Several people at the meeting last night said they had bad experiences with churches in the past.
Matthew Skinta, Queens and Allies president, said other groups also were under attack by the religious right, including atheists and pagans.

Provost fears more cuts to already-tight budget
It's not the effects of the recent $2 million budget cut that have Provost David Shulenburger concerned. It's the potential for more cuts.
By Nathan Willis writer@kanson.com Kanson staff write
The provost addressed University Council at its monthly meeting yesterday afternoon and focused on the budget crunch facing the University of Kansas.
Gov. Bill Graves asked the University to reduce its budget by 1 percent this year after the state fell $70 million short in revenue. To put a brake on spending, the administration immediately initiated an across-the-board hiring freeze. Shulenburger said he anticipated that one by one, all academic and administrative units would find enough money to cut in order to lift the freeze and enable hiring to resume.
However, because the coming legislative session immediately precedes an election year, hopes of taking steps to ensure that budget reductions don't continue — namely, raising taxes or giving money to the University at the expense of other state programs — are thin, he said.
"What concerns me most is our long-term prospects," Shulenburger said. "State revenues were so poor last year, and nothing structurally has changed to make that any different this year."
"Over the last four years, they've cut tax
receipts by a total of $4 billion." he said. "I don't think they understood the dollar volume of what these cuts would be."
As a result, the University is preparing three budgets for next year, he said. One assumes that the Board of Regents gets its fiscal requests, including budget increases for such things as faculty salaries. Another would provide the University just enough in increases to maintain its current level of services. The third would cut the total budget another 2 to 2.5 percent from this year's level, Shulenburger said.

renix Moos, professor of anthropology and University Council member, agreed that the budget already was so barren that it might not withstand further cuts. In his 38 years at the University, he has seen many budget cuts, he said, but none that could damage the University like this.
"It gradually has been whitted away," Moos said of the budget. "Now we're really down to the bare bones. I don't know what we've done to lose the support of the people of Kansas."
After Shulenburger finished speaking, Mary Hawkins, University Council president, agreed that the potential cuts were chilling.
"When you're already funded at 80 percent of the budget of peer institutions, 2 to 2.5 percent hurts," he said.
"That is certainly grim news," she said.

Students look to make a difference
Hands-on projects to help community
Another project involves relocating the Pelathe food pantry to
By Chris Borniger
writer @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A little elbow grease can do a lot of good. And with that in mind, more than 100 University of Kansas students will forego their Saturday morning sleep-in in ritual tomorrow as part of a Center for Community Outreach effort.
Tomorrow is Make a Difference Day, a nationwide community service event. KU volunteers will participate for the third consecutive year.
CCO won $2,000 last year for the food drive it sponsored for Make a Difference Day 1997. That year, 30 volunteers collected 6,200 cans of food at local grocery stores and a KU football game. CCO distributed the award money among five
COC is coordinating the project with Pelathe Community Resource Center, a charity for Native Americans. Instead of the typical canned food drive, students will be doing physical labor - helping to renovate decrepit houses, gardening and distributing health information.
a larger space. The food pantry which serves about 150 families monthly, is the largest in the city.
"We decided we wanted to do something more hands-on this time," said E.J. Reedy, CCO director and Teokyun pupil. "This provides a way for people to get out and actually do something."
Reedy said about 150 people had committed to participate, including volunteers from the Student Bar Association, KU Lead, Student Senate, All Scholarship Hall Council and Ellsworth Hall. A group of 25 Washburn University students also will help. Outstanding volunteer projects are eligible to win a portion of the $318,000 distributed nationwide by the Gannett Co. Inc. Foundation, Wal-Mart, USA Weekend magazine and actor Paul Newman.
Lawrence charities.
USA Weekend and the Points of Light Foundation started the annual event in 1992.
"It works out to a very good partnership that's developed," he said. "Our clients are very appreciative of the work they do."
Dave Cade, Pelathe executive director, said the help of CCO and its volunteers was invaluable.
Reedy said students would get a positive experience out of their service.

"Volunteering can really provide a balance to students' lives, so they're not just stuck on Mount Oread all the time," he said. "It's the only way change can take place."
Not all of the volunteers will be students. Working at their sides will be Charlie Jones, a Douglas County commissioner.
Jones said although the labor might not be glamorous, its function was noble.
"Those in the community need to lead by example," he said. "Volunteerism is what holds the community together."

Editorial
Rock Chalk Revue has lost its focus
High production costs could be put to better use
T the theme for the 51st Rock Chalk Revue is more than appropriate. "Out of Focus" clearly embraces what the annual variety show has become — a lavishly exquis
ite event disguised as a charity fund-raiser. No one would argue that participants have generous intentions. And the community involvement that the revue encourages is more than commendable. However, it is time to refocus.
The focus of the show should be raising money for charity, yet the participants spend thousands of dollars unnecessarily.
Each year, five living organizations, usually paired fraternities and sororites, are selected to take part in the spring revue, and ticket revenues are donated to United Way of Douglas County. Living organizations also raise additional money and donate community service hours in coordination with the revue.
The selection process, which starts Nov. 5 when groups submit their notebooks, is just the beginning of the expenses that groups involved will incur. High application and production costs limit fund-raising effectiveness and the true generosity that chari-
tv deserves.
In order to be considered for the show, groups submit a notebook that includes a plot summary, character sketches, costume designs, stage cues, musical lyrics and a musical tape. Although not required, groups usually submit a professionally recorded tape, costing at least $500. While about 12 groups apply each year, only five are accepted, wasting a minimum of $3,500 that could go directly to charity.
A 1997 Kansan article reported that groups were limited to $600 for tapes. A limiting provision doesn't appear in current regulations. The expense of applying for the revue alone discourages groups who are new to the revue or don't have a Rock Chalk budget from even attempting to get involved.
The root of the problem is that no spending limits exist for the show. In fact, the opposite is true. According to the bylaws of the Rock Chalk Revue Advisory Board, all groups submitting a notebook for consideration into the show must sign a contract promising to meet the financial obligations necessary for production. In a previous section, the bylaws set minimum group spending at $1,000.
A legitimate argument for maintaining the show's quality could be made for spending a couple of thousand dollars, but does spending stop at a couple thousand?

Kyle Ramsey / KANSAN
Angie Bezdek, revenue business manager, said a modest estimate for what each group spends once they're part of the show would be $5,000. Multiply $5,000 by 5 groups for a total of $25,000. To that total add $6,000, an estimated $500 per group multiplied by the 12 groups that apply. This brings the low-estimate total revenue expense to $31,000.
Last year the revue raised $40,000 for United Way. The goal for this year's show is $50,000. To exceed that goal, here's some simple advice. First, cut notebook submission costs to under $100 by requiring groups to audition live instead of making a professional recording. Next, limit groups to a $2,500 production budget. Finally, donate the saved $17,300 along with the $40,000 raised by the revenue for a total donation of $57,300.
UNITED WAY
With a little creativity, it's doubtful the revue's attendance would decrease or that anyone would notice if less money went toward sets, costumes and professional recordings. Limiting expenses also would encourage more to apply, such as scholarship and e halls that are rarely involved in. New groups in the revue would crowds and new donations.
As the revue enters the new millennium, it should steer away from the 2000 "Out of Focus" theme and refocus on what the event is about. If the revue continues to operate on limitless budgets, it should not be done under the cover of a charity fund-raiser.
The revue is a University of Kansas tradition, interwoven with tremendous student generosity and contributions to the community. The integrity of this tradition must and can be preserved by setting simple limits.

Opponents of test ban treaty worried about wrong terrorists
The slaughter of the nuclear test ban treaty in the Congress and the current attempts being made to roll back the anti-ballistic missile treaty have been surrounded in a discourse of fear, specifically a fear of rogue states and terrorists. There is reason for the world to be afraid of terrorists, and this true story of recent terrorists activities will show why.
About a year ago, some individuals blew up some property held by a terrorist group in a foreign country. Although it was never proven who planted the bombs, the terrorist group sought revenge by launching missiles at what it said was a chemical plant being used as a hideout for those who had planted the bombs. In reality, the chemical plant was a pharmaceuticals plant, and its destruction has limited severely the availability of basic medicines (such as penicillin) to the impoverished people living in the area.
This random act of violence — committed without any solid evidence or investigation — is not an isolated incident for this particular terrorist group. In fact, it has a long history of murdering civilian populations, supporting ruthless dictatorships and providing training and support for other terrorist organizations.
In the 1960s and '70s, this group was bombing peasant villages and farms in Southeast Asia, launching commando raids into a small island nation and forcefully overthrowing a popularly elected government in South America to make room for a ruthless dictator. It was also providing arms to an imperialist government when it was well known that those arms would be used to take over a neighboring state.
In the 1980s, this group killed thousands of civilians during a raid on Panama and was terrorizing Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala with para-military forces and death squads. By the 1990s, other than the above-mentioned incident, this group was bombing the coun

tries in the Middle East and in Eastern Europe.
Sounds pretty horrific, doesn't it? Well here's the kicker: Presently, the head of this terrorist group is Bill Clinton, although other notables such as George Bush, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter.
Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson have led it as well. It goes under the name United States Armed Forces but also includes such branch-organizations as the CIA and the NSA, as well as a network of profiteering corporate arms manufacturers. The worst part is that you and I finance it.
Indeed, people do need to be afraid of groups using deadly weapons on other countries, but just look around and ask yourself who people really should be afraid of. The killers of the test ban treaty and those who
want to roll back the anti-ballistic missile treaty have been doing a lot of work trying to bring those Cold War fears back into the American people. Everyone's out to kill us, they say, so let's spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a missile defense system (in the '80s, this was called the Star Wars system) and preserve our right to detonate nuclear devices.
But look at the historical record. Who's doing the killing? Who does the world have to worry about? Who is always using the threat of force to get its way? Who has a military budget larger than the budgets of several Western industrialized countries combined?
You and I should be afraid. We should be afraid for Southeast Asian peasants being killed by old landmines and unexploded cluster bombs left over from the attacks on Vietnam and Cambodia. We should be afraid for the East Timorese, being massacred with American-made weapons, and for the rest of the world as we begin to lay the groundwork for a new arms race.
We pay for these atrocities, and without our support they just may end. You have a say in how things are run, and it's time that we use our say to end this jingoistic propaganda, force our leaders to show some compassion for the victims of our political-economic interests, and maybe take a little bit of the fear out of the world.

Feedback
Regarding the Lazer format change, it is so much more than just a format change that we're fighting for. The city of Lawrence is nationally known for its live/local music scene. Lawrence has helped numerous bands rise to national stardom including the likes of 311, Pearl Jam, and, oh, so many more.
Lazer affects all of Lawrence
We, meaning those fighting to get back the "old" Lazer, are concerned that this format change will have significant and everlasting effects on the city of Lawrence. The music shops downtown will suffer because no one is hearing the latest local and modern rock music. The live music clubs such as the Granada and the Bottleneck will feel the effects also. Bands came to Lawrence because they had trust that the Lazer would advertise their shows and, eventually, play their songs.
Adam Naill
El Dorado senior
So, in conclusion, yes, I am angry that I don't have a favorite radio station anymore. But, I am more concerned about the future of Lawrence's tradition as a music-loving, liberal city.
Jeff Lewis Jewell freshman
To be honest, until I read Barlow's column, I hadn't really thought about religion for a long time. I can't say that it will become prominent in my everyday thoughts, but it does make you think about what comes after this life, if anything. I thought the column was great.
I read Jennifer Barlow's column on spiritual knowledge, and it is a relief to finally find that someone has shared the same experiences as I have. A small town can be so sheltered. Although I would have welcomed a town of 5,000, my town had just under 500, with most being too old to remember what they think about religion.
Barlow makes public think
Including me, there were only 10 students in my graduating class. The smaller the town, the worse things are. The way the people of the town expect you to believe as they do, or they treat you as an outsider. I didn't move to my town until I was a junior, so I guess the outsider thing should have been expected.
I had never heard of the word "agostic" before, but it's meaning is as though it was scripted for me. I really want to believe in God, and it's not that I don't. It's just that there is no proof of God's existence. At the same time, I shouldn't really say that trying to find a religion consumes my every moment. I think that it should just come with time.
Opinion editor shows bias
My concern, however, is not as much with the profile itself as with the author of the piece. Chad Bettes has written numerous opinion pieces for the Kansan that expose him as being decidedly conservative in both religious and political matters. Unfortunately, I think this bias came through in his profile of Holloway. Noticeably, only one quote offering criticism of Holloway was included.
I wanted to express my concern with your choice to run a profile of Linda Holloway, chairwoman of the Kansas Board of Education.
I respect Bettes' right to articulate his viewpoints in the Kansan. However, perhaps in the future, in the interest of good, unbiased journalism, Bettes should be confined to the opinion page since he is clearly not objective in news reporting on matters he feels strongly about.

Take care of your body art
Regarding Amber Steuer's October 14 article on body art, while going to a skilled artist who uses universal safety precautions is important, so is proper carefare. As I understand it, many
body art related infections are not caused by the artist or the environment in which the work is done. Instead, the infection often happens because the person getting the work done is not treating the body art properly as it heals. So it should be kept in mind that the important parts of getting body art do not end once a person walks out the artist's door.
A good source of information about body art is the rec.arts.bodyart newsgroup FAQ, which can be found at http://rabbithole.org/faqpage.html.

Blame people, not religion
As an international student, I have not found a big interest in an American paper especially if we consider the language difficulty. Anyhow, I took the initiative to read the KU paper. I found it very interesting, and it carries a lot of valuable subjects, so it has become my daily bread.
Recently, when I was enjoying my morning coffee and going through the pages of the Kansan, one of the articles in the opinion page stopped me and made me think deeply and inspired me to write this feedback. It was the one written by Jennifer Barlow, "True spiritual knowledge doesn't always come easy."
I think Jennifer in her article started a very serious imagination question by being spiritually unsatisfied with the religion she was born with, Christianity. She said the KU atmosphere makes her think of considering different beliefs.
I think she is not questioning Christianity as a religion, but as a practice. First of all we should check if today's Christians are practicing or applying real Christianity to their daily life.
Also, I would like to commend the author for her brave argument. I am sure she will bring a lot of different opinions by *Kansan* readers. This is really what we need as the *Kansan* readers: Is one who starts a strong argument disregarding if it is right or wrong, which will lead to good solutions through the input of the ones they care.
Mowafiq Al-Anazi Saudi Arabia freshmab
As a student coming from a Muslim community, I believe in God and maintain a strong relationship with God by practicing what is obviously right and avoiding what is wrong. The Muslim prophet Mohammed said, "Religion is the practice of dealing with others," which means in order to reach a spiritual knowledge, we need to manage our behaviors to reflect the religion instruction.
One of the misconceptions about religions occurs by tying our wrong acts to the religion or by misinterpreting the religion instructions. One example is associating terrorism with Islam, which doesn't represent the true value of Islam and Muslims. The same thing is the case for Christianity when Christians are associated with the hate crimes wave in the U.S with religious groups who have nothing to do with true Christianity.
As a conclusion, I think we need to blame ourselves and not to blame the religion, because if we watch our behaviors and try to act according to the right understanding of the religion, that will help us to achieve the spiritual satisfaction.
War on guns won't work
Erin Simpson's column repeats the fallacies of much liberal rhetoric on this issue. Who is going to do anything about the millions of illegal weapons out there? We hardly have a gestapo to round them up. I'm sure that you would see gun violence continue right on. It is only necessary to see how our national policy on drugs has worked. Drugs are everywhere, and the war on drugs is a joke.
There are brilliant legal scholars who believe that the Framers meant for citizens to have guns.

Professors to study Turkish quake
On-site research may benefit many
By Mindie Miller Special to the Kansan
Hardhats are not required for most research at the University of Kansas.
But two civil engineering professors will take extra safety precautions on their six-day journey to northern Turkey, where they will study buildings that survived the Aug. 17 earthquake that killed more than 15,000.
Steven McCabe, chairman of the civil engineering department, and JoAnn Browning, assistant professor of civil engineering, will leave tomorrow and spend several days observing
the damaged reinforced concrete buildings. The earthquake registered a 7.4 on the Richter scale.
"We'll have hardhats, and we'll be careful," McCabe said. "We're not risking life and limb."
The goal of this research is to minimize future earthquake-related fatalities. To that end, McCabe said that he and Brownning would examine buildings that were damaged only moderately so they could determine why those buildings withstood the earthquake while others collapsed.
"My expectation is that we will see problems in connections, where one element pulled loose from another. That's a recipe for real problems," he said.
McCabe said he and Browning
would document their observations with photographs and videos, which could then be shared with colleagues and students.
"A lot of this you can take back to the lab and look at and have students look at," McCabe said. "It's like a 'picture speaks a thousand words' kind of thing."
If these pictures tell engineers how to build safer buildings in earthquake regions, then thousands of people could benefit. The building technology generated could be used in tornado regions and other places where buildings also are exposed to a sudden force. McCabe said.
"The lessons you can learn from this are broadly applicable," McCabe said. "The loss of life in the Oklahoma City
bombing would have been significantly less if that building had been designed with earthquake provisions in mind."
The two received funds for the visit from their department and the Office of International Programs.
Browning said she was interested in mapping damage patterns in relation to the fault area to determine relationships between motion and damage.
In Turkey, McCabe she would pay special attention to how well the reinforcing steel anchored buildings.
"You can do simulations in the lab and computer based experiments," McCabe said. "But until you see the effects of an actual earthquake, you're always guessing."

Learning about gun violence
A child looks up at a woman holding an open picture book. The woman is reading to the child.
Destiny Cox, B, listens as Lexi Janssen, Lee's Summit, Mo., junior, reads a book called Guns to a group of children from the Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence. Janssen and other University of Kansas students from WAVE, Working Against Violence Everywhere, made the presentations as part of National Day of Concern Against Gun Violence. According to statistics WAVE members shared, 16 children are killed with guns each day in the United States. WAVE members also distributed pledges to the children that advocated gun safety and violence prevention. Photo by Roger Nomer/KANSAN

Adam Martz walks across campus wearing headphones with his head down. Sometimes he cracks a smile. Sometimes his shoulders shrug ever so slightly. Sometimes, if you get close enough while passing him, you can hear the pulse, pulse, pulse of his music.
The tape he plays depends on his mood. It might be DLG or llegales. Sometimes it's Alejandro Fernandez and other times it's Los Rodriguez.
"On my headphones, I sometimes listen to baladda, the slow, romantic songs, love songs, if you will." Martz said. "I listen to a lot of hous merengue and salsa and a little bit of rock, too."
But almost always, it's Latin.
Martz, Wichita junior, is not one of the 605 Hispanic students at the University of Kansas. He just likes Hispanic culture, so he listens to the music, speaks the language and hangs out with the Latinos.
"I've been interested in Hispanic culture ever since I've been taking Spanish classes — since seventh grade," Martz said. "But I got even more into it after two things. One, my first trip
"They've opened me up to another world besides just Spain and Spanish. There's a whole lot more in the Hispanic world than Spanish."
The so-called Latino invasion has reached every corner of the country. It's even found its place in Lawrence. Whether it's Son Venezuela at the Jazzhaus, 926/1 2/1 Massachusetts St., tomorrow night, the World Class Dance Party at Coco Loco, 943 Massachusetts St., every weekend or Brazilian Virginia Rodriguez at the Lied Center Sunday. Lawrence is a growing scene for Latino music and culture.
Kelfel Aqui, owner of Coco Loco and member of the band Son Venezuela, said he thought Latin music was no longer a passing trend but that it was here to stay.
"I don't need to be a demographer, but there is a reflection of demographic changes in the United States," Aqui said. "But let's not discount the energy, charisma and contagiousness of the music. This music is very happy, very fun to dance to. We're certainly going to receive the millennium with a Latin beat."
Mariana Hinojosa, Hutchinson junior and member of Latin American Solidarity, said that she preferred authentic Latin music to the remixed, mainstream version. She said the Lawrence band Son Venezuela was one of her local favorites.
"I'm kind of tired of everyone having to put 'loca' in every other sentence." Hinojosa said. "It's like 'c.mon'. It's not the only Spanish word we have."
While local music and dance is the most reliable Latino entertainment in Lawrence, national acts visit from time to time as well. Four weeks ago the orchestra, Los Van Van, performed at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts, and St. Cubanism visited last year.
Karen Christilles, director of publicity for the Lied Center, said Rodriguez's performance at the University exemplified the growing trend of Latino artists' popularity.
"With the demographics of the world, the many Latin art forms are influencing our culture," she said. "Not only because they're exciting and vital and intriguing art forms, but because the population is shifting throughout the world. Her music is beautiful. It's a pure sound that we don't have in our everyday life."
There is a dance to go with every Latin sound. From merengue to salia to calypso, once the band or the speakers play, the infectious beat catches on, and the dance floor fills.
"You could just be sitting there in the background," Hinojosa said. "Then the music starts, and you see people bouncing their shoulders and babbling their heads. You just can't sit still when the music's playing. It gets you off your feet."
Brazilian singer looking to build U.S. following

The celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month at the University will end Sunday with a concert by Virginia Rodriguez, a Brazilian vocalist. She will perform at 7 p.m. at the Lied Center.
Gloria Flores, adviser for the Hispanic American Leadership Organization, said the organization added her to its calendar for Hispanic Heritage Month at the last minute.

The event is co-sponsored by the center and Student Union Activities. Cameron Popon, president of SUA, said: "She's not Ricky Martin, all glitz and flash, but she's not purbased Latin music, either. She's a
He said her albums had been high-sellers in Brazil. Her new album Sol Negro, means "black sun."
Rodrigues is from Salvador de Bahia, a Brazilian city on the Atlantic Ocean where African and Portuguese influences mix.
Jacqueline Davis, executive director of the Lied Center, said Rodrigues would perform for about an hour and a half without an intermission.
Although she sings in Portuguese, the language of her native country, Davis said her message would be universal.
"It won't matter." Davis said. "If she's singing a song about sadness and love, you know she's singing about sadness and love."
was recognizable by its deep tones and that the percussion in her band was amazing.
"People are going to want to dance," Davis said.
Davis was able to bring Rodrigues to Lawrence by a chance meeting.
While in New York, Davis was talking to a manager who spoke of an amazing singer that the Brazilian government wanted to expose to the United States. She was scheduled to appear in Chicago, but that wasn't good enough for Davis.
Davis said that Rodrigues' voice
"I took a risk on bringing her because it's hard to build an audience quickly," Davis said.

Rockets hit Chechen capital; 118 dead and up to 400 hurt
The Associated Press
GROZNY, Russia — Massive explosions rocked the heart of Grozny yesterday after salvos of rockets slammed into an open-air market and other parts of the city. A Chechen official said 118 people were killed and up to 400 were wounded.
Chechen officials claimed the rockets were fired by Russian forces moving in on the city. The Russian Defense Ministry in Moscow, however, categorically denied its forces were responsible for the blast.
The city's central market was littered with bodies, severed body parts and pools of blood after six rockets exploded amid the stalls, which were crowded with shoppers. At least four other rockets slammed into other parts of the city, including one that hit
a maternity clinic.
Magomed Magomadov, a senior government official, said that 118 people had been killed and 300 to 400 others were wounded. Many of the injured were in critical condition, he said.
Hundreds of terrified people, many screaming and crying, ran for cover as the rockets exploded in the Grozny market. Surrounding streets were jammed with survivors and others trying to escape. Some onlookers tried to help wounded survivors who staggered away from the devastated area.
"It was dark, and then all of a sudden, the place was illuminated and something was sparkling in the air. Then we heard the explosions," said Umar Madayev, a survivor.
Grozny's already overcrowded and poorly equipped hospitals were
packed with injured survivors. A handful of doctors, working with almost no drugs, operated on some survivors under the glare of kerosene lamps because there was no electricity.
Badly wounded people lay in pools of blood in the dirty, dark corridors of the central hospital, where there were no beds for them.
russian troops, meanwhile, closed in on the Chechen capital, with advance tanks and armored personnel carriers reportedly less than eight miles outside Grozny. Chechens officials said some Russian soldiers had been spotted even closer.
Russia sent troops into Chechnya at the end of September, following weeks of airstrikes to eliminate Islamic militants who invaded neighboring Dagestan this summer.

Under Indonesia's constitution, written in part by Megawati's father, founding President Sukarno, the vice president assumes the presidency if the incumbent is incapacitated or dies in office.
Tens of thousands of Megawati's disillusioned supporters went on a rampage after she was defeated by new President Abdurrahman Wahid. Two people were killed and 65 were injured by a car bomb as troops fired tear gas and warning shots in Jakarta.

Megawati's election was delayed several hours for a flurry of backroom negotiations before the announcements were made. There was widespread speculation that both Wiranto and Akbar, who served in the Cabinets of Suharto and successor B.J. Habibie, would get similar posts under Wahid.
The vote of the People's Consultative Assembly came one day after Megawati lost the first free and contested presidential race in the country's 54-year history.
The armed forces still control 38 seats in the 700-member assembly but, under Wiranto, have pledged to withdraw from politics altogether within five or six years.
Although a consolation prize, the vice presidency could prove crucial. Wahid, 59, is almost blind and has severe health problems. After two strokes, he cannot walk unaided.
JAKARTA, Indonesia—Violent protests turned into celebrations yesterday when wildly popular opposition leader Megawati Sukarnoputri was named vice president, a move that bodies well for the future of Indonesia's fledgling democracy.

Opposition leader Megawati's election may stabilize country
The process marks a major political change in Indonesia, particularly Wiranto's withdrawal. For decades under Suharto — who quit under pressure in May 1988 — the military used its might to suppress freedom and exercised wide political power.
d yesterday when Indonesia's powerful military commander, Gen. Wiranto, dropped his candidacy and said he did so in the interest of the nation. Akbar Tanjung, leader of authoritarian ex-President Suharto's Golkar Party, cited the same reasons for pulling out.
The chaos eased only after Megawait took the oath of office in a ceremony broadcast on national television. In Jakarta, crowds returned to the streets to celebrate, waving flags, honking car horns, banging drums and setting off fireworks.
On the resort island of Bali, a Megawati stronghold, mobs torched and looted supermarkets, blocked roads and burned trees. There were no direct attacks on tourists, and the protesters emphasized their anger was directed at the assembly, not at tourists.

Holy angry Bats!
Vicious flying mammals annoy rather than scare in hackneyed horror flop
By Brendan Walsh
BETWEEN THE FINGER AND THE KNEE
Watching Bats, it doesn't take long to realize that the movie is far more annoying than it is scary.
If the mere appearance of Lou Diamond Phillips' name wasn't enough of a turnoff, be forewarned that he actually stars in the film. His strong, yet caring, character is joined by a strong, yet sexy, female counterpart, a mad scientist, an African-American sidekick who, stereotypically enough, frightens at the smallest noise, and a secretive U.S. military official intent on hiding secrets from everyone. The movie is one cliché after
Jimmy (Leon Robinson) doesn't like bats but lets them crawl on his arm anyway.
another.
The first scene sets the pace for the movie. Two smitten teenagers are parked on the outskirts of a small Texas town with a case of beer and burning desires. Everything seems normal at first, but mysterious rustlings begin to rattle the young couple. By the time it becomes apparent that the rustlings are a flock of angry bats, the car is soaked in the blood of its young occupants.
This causes quite a bit of consternation for Sheriff Emmett Kinsey (Phillips) and his cohorts. They call in renowned bat scientist Shelia Casper (Dina Meyer, who once guest starred on Beverly Hills 90210) and her sidekick
Left: Bat scientist Sheila (Dina Meyer) and Sheriff Emmett Kinsey (Lou Diamond Phillips) flee from clever killer bats.
Jimmy (Leon Robinson), who fears bats but works with them anyway. They are joined by a government scientist and a couple of other tag-alongs. The scientist explains, with a straight face, that he is been working on a top-secret military project concerning bats.
Film facts
The bats were trained to be smart, decisive and work well with other bats, but were apparently gone the day "playing nice with others" was taught. Wouldn't ya know it, these super bats escaped, found bat friends, taught their buddies how to be vicious and are now intent on seeing everyone it
Rating: R
Grade: Don eating everyone in town.

Running Time: 1 hour 39 minutes
The rest of the movie, as the beginning, is more predictable than the outcome of a KU football game. Everyone says exactly the lines they are expected to, the bats do what one would think angry bats do, and the U.S. government is as dumb-witted and hapless as always.
Lou Diamond Phillips, who somehow failed to become a big star despite his catchy name, does a good impression of his character in Young Guns. That is, he has a gun and uses it often. Dina Meyer has somewhat of a Sandra Bullock meets Linda Hamilton quality to her, in *Bats* she isn't given a fair shot to strut her stuff because of the terrible writing. No one else in the movie is worth even a mention.
The movie's special effects are late '80s at best. The bats themselves are pretty freaky looking, even if they don't really look like bats at all. The movie occasionally goes into bat-vision mode, which consists of a red filter being put over the lens of the camera. Wow.
For Halloween entertainment one would do better to rent The Blair Witch Project, which comes out on video Oct. 22. Not at all frightening in the way it was supposed to be, Bats disappoints on many levels.
Predictable Three to Tango takes a tumble
Perry and Campbell rehash the tired romantic comedy formula in Tango.
by Stephanie Sapienza Kansan Movie Critic
By the time I was five minutes into Three to Tango, starring Matthew Perry and Neve Campbell, I already was entering the eye-rolling mode. The film actually rolls the beginning credits over a silhouetted swing-dancing couple, amid colorful decor. Not only is this fad almost finished, but it is a fad that was sloppily reinvented. The opening shot is
the insanely cliched "cityscape flyin" This director's block does not end here.

McDermott) has given them a $90 million project to complete for his company.
However, it becomes clear that Newman is the type who will take away the deal if Novak and Steinberg do not kiss his rear. One of the ways for Novak to do this is to spy on the married Newman's girlfriend, artist Amy Post (Campbell). Of course, he falls in love with her. Of course, she responds
approvingly. And, of course, there is some foible that disables Novak from telling Amy he loves her. In this particular version of the movie formula, it is that everyone thinks that Novak is gay through some sitcom-style miscommunication.
This movie does not explore any new comedic areas except for the chance to see what being thought of as gay does to a heterosexual person. In an amusing turn of events, Novak is forced to "come
out" as straight at his acceptance speech for "Gay Professional of the Year."
Campbell's Amy squeals often, in an attempt to appear cute. She tops off this act by squinting her eyes and showing her teeth every time she smiles, which screams, "I am the cutest, most eligible
It seems that the ability to play any role but Chandler completely eludes Perry. Campbell and McDermott are equally disturbing as caricatures of popular comedy stereotypes.
girl on the planet." McDermott tries too hard to be the intense, debonair tycoon. He hums between syllables, apparently attempting to characterize the speech patterns of the ruthless businessman.
A feature-length Chandler will work at the box office, because many people love Perry's character. Still others are tired of the same comedic formulas. If you are curious about this storyline, check out The Truth About Cats and Dogs.

The work that Earl has done this summer has him convinced that his goal is a realistic one and in the process has convinced some others as well, including Kansas coach Roy Williams.
At the team's media day earlier this month, Williams spoke of the team's health in general and Lester Earl's health specifically.

Kansas linebacker Dion Rayford sacks Missouri quarterback Corby Jones in Columbia, Mo., last year. The Jayhaws face off
Memorial stadium showdown
By Mike Miller

Kansan sportswriter
Bring on the cliches and rowdy fans because Kansas plays Missouri tomorrow.
"Throw out the records when Kansas and Missouri play because oftentimes it's more than just a win, it's for a lot of pride," said Kansas coach Terry Allen.
During last year's game at Columbia, Mo., the band, the players and fans were pelted with trash, bottles and other projectiles, overshadowing a 41-23 Missouri win. Though the tension between the two schools might be the focus of the media and fans, tomorrow's game, which is at 1 p.m. at Memorial Stadium, is really a battle between two teams fighting for their lives — the loser sinks to last place in the Big 12 Conference.
When Kansas, 2-5 overall, 0-3 in conference play, plays Missouri, 3-overall, 0-3 in conference play, it will be a match between two teams who have similar defense problems.
"Nobody wants to be the doormat," said wide receiver Michael Chandler. "That's where we're at — the bottom of the league."
Kansas has tried to solve its big play deficiencies by switching things around in the defensive backfield.
Safety Carl Nesmith will replace Greg Erb as the starting strong safety, while Muhammad Abdul-Rahim will replace Quincy Roe at left cornerback.
"We'd like to take some of the pressure off the secondary," Allen said. "We've gave up three very big plays defensively and four individuals who were the culprits. It's not an individual thing; it's a team thing."
Nesmith, a converted wide receiver who split time with both Erb and strong safety Kareem High, is the type of player who creates plays in the secondary with his size and speed. He leads the team with three interceptions, is tied for second in passes broken up and is tied for third on the team in tackles.
But NeSmith was quick to point out that the change isn't necessarily because of Erb's play — he is second on the team in tackles — but because a change might do the defense some good.
Abdul-Rahim, who led the team in interceptions last season, has split time with both Roe and right cornerback Andrew Davison this year. Three inches taller and 5 pounds heavier, Abdul-Rahim should be able to play more physical pass defense. At least that's his defensive philosophy.
"Sometimes it's good to make a change," Nesmith said. "It's just like a rotation anyway. Everybody plays."
"If a player catches it, they should have to earn it," he said.
The changes on defense accompany

a renewed offense philosophy that centers around quarterback Dylan Smith. The Jayhawks take advantage of Smith's mobility by running the option, quarterback draws and rollouts, which give them more options than a dropback passing game.
Mitch Bowles will start for the second straight game at running back, but David Winbush has almost fully recovered from ankle and knee injuries. Henri Childs also will play in his first game in three weeks, giving the Jayhawks depth at running back for the first time since the Kansas State game.
But it's the rivalry that will take center stage tomorrow. Though a win against Missouri is always welcomed by Kansas students and alumni, Allen said he didn't feel any added pressure from fans.
"They can't hang us in effigy," he said.
For Chandler, it will be his fifth time playing Missouri. After last year's loss, he wants a win to go out above .500 — and to keep the Tigers from talking too much trash.
"That's one thing they excel at," he said.

Soccer team to take field today with season on the line

A win today and another again Texas A&M Sunday will put them in the Big 12 Conference tournament in San Antonio. If the Jayhawks lose, they will lose control of their own tournament destiny. If they lose both games, they're out.

The regular season will conclude at 1 p.m. Sunday at Super Target Field when Kansas plays No. 12 Texas A&M (12-4, 5-3) in its final conference game of the season. It also will be Senior Day, and seniors Betsy Pollard, Laura Rohde, Lindsey Loeffler, Melissa Downing and Dahle will make their final home appearances in Kansas jerseys.
"I'm looking forward to the opportunity to play in front of my friends for the last time and playing on Super Target Field for the last time," Dahle said. "I've had a lot of good friends who have been there every game for the last four years, so I'm definitely looking forward to playing in front of them one last time."

Warrick shows that athletes get 'benefits'
Peter Warrick is the dumbest man on the face of the earth.
Arguably the most talented player in college football this year, the Florida State wide receiver's future eligibility, as of yesterday, was still in question.
Before friend and teammate Laveranues Cole and Warrick took advantage of what must have been double coupon day at a Dillard's department store — they paid $21.40 for more than $400 worth of clothing with the help of a store clerk — the senior star was the obvious choice for this year's
He would have juked and streaked to another spectacular season, possibly won a National Championship and most likely been a top-three pick in the NFL draft.
1
He was less than a year from being a multimillionaire, and he stole clothes from Dillard's. Dumbest man alive.
Because this wasn't Cole's first run-in with authorities, he was dismissed from the
Matt James sports columnist sports@kansan.com
Florida State team. Like my grade school teachers used to say: "Don't hang out with the bad kids. They'll just get you into trouble."
Even if he is cleared to play, Florida State president Sandy D'Alemberte has the final word as to whether Warrick will return to the playing field this year.
Warrick's plea agreement delay will continue until his lawyer reaches a deal with the Florida state attorney's office. Until a deal is reached, Warrick will not play.
The most recent plea discussions have him pleading to felony theft, finishing the season on the team and serving a month in jail after this semester.
Rest assured, Warrick will play again this season, but now he is labeled. He was a guaranteed NFL superstar. Now he is a risk.
Luckily for him, Randy Moss and NBA guards Allen Iverson and Jason Williams have proven that problem-athletes can mature and have successful careers. The tug label can be shed. Warrick still will become a millionaire. But why would he even risk losing it?
Anyone who thinks "special benefits" like Warrick's are isolated to the Florida States and Michigan of the world is naive.
It happens all of the time — even here at the University of Kansas. I've seen several underage basketball and football players at various bars drinking since I've been at Kansas. You think they have really good fake IDs? Of course not.
A Kansas alumnus paid for JaRon Rush to attend the prem Pembroke Hill High School in Kansas City, Mo. Just another benefit of being an athlete.
Kansas basketball was put on probation in 1960 when the NCAA questioned a car Wilt Chamberlain had driven while at Kansas. Chamberlain later admitted to New York reporters that he received $4,000 from "two or three godfathers."
I applaud coaches Terry Allen and Roy Williams for maintaining clean programs, but they cannot control outside forces.
Athletes are treated differently in many ways. In the last year, Lester Earl and I were each cited for traffic violations in separate incidents and had to appear in Douglas County Court. His mugshot appeared on the front of newspapers. Mine didn't. He was questioned by reporters. I paid my fine and left.
When Earl comes back to Kansas decades from now for older timer games, dads will point and say, "Look son, that's the guy who took money at LSU."
No matter how much I screw up in life, I will still be Matt James. No more. No less. No one will label me for the mistakes I made. I wouldn't want the high-profile athlete life.
I'm not saying what Warrick did was right. He was stupid because he had so much to lose. But most athletes aren't Warrick, and aren't headed for millions of dollars.
I
I get sick of hearing how easy athletes have it and how spoiled they are. It's not an easy life.
I know athletes get perks, but I'm sure not to go lose any sleep because of it.

Baseball fans want Rose enshrined in Hall
ATLANTA — By a 2-1 margin, most people think Pete Rose should be reinstated to baseball, even though many belie he did gamble on his sport, according to an Associated Press poll.
Of those surveyed, 56 percent said Rose should be reinstated, while 29 percent said he should not.
BASEBALL
Seven out of 10 said baseball's career hits leader belonged in baseball's Hall of Fame, while almost two out of 10 said he didn't. Rose is not eligible for the Hall of Fame as long as his lifetime ban remains in effect.
By a 78 percent to 15 percent margin, people said commissioner Bud
Among those who think Rose should be allowed to appear at the series is Levaon Walker, a communications specialist in her 40s from Bainbridge, Ga. The decision to let Rose appear with the All-Century team at the World Series is a good one, she said.
Selig made the correct decision to invite Rose to the World Series ceremony Sunday honoring the sport's All-Century team. Rose was among the 25 players elected in fan balloting in the second half of the season.
Still, more people don't believe Rose's gambling denial than believe him. Forty percent don't believe Rose is telling the truth about betting on baseball, while 30 percent believe him.

"As I'm walking in, I'm looking in the window, and they had a nice display of Padre baseballs and 8x10s with other players," Gwynn said. "And I am looking, and I started looking at the signatures. I mean, every one in there — every single one — was a forgery."
The FBI then got Sosa and McGwire involved as well, the report said, and it has several tractor trailer loads of forgeries from across the country.
"There are so many unsuspecting people out there who are getting ripped off; they probably don't know if they're getting ripped off, Gwynn said. "They have got balls and pictures and bats sitting on shelves and in cabinets. It hasn't probably dawned on them that it might not be real."
HIGH SCHOOLS
South African senior questions eligibility
OTTAWA — A senior at Ottawa High School who is from South Africa is challenging state high school rules that prohibit foreign students from participating in interscholastic activities.
Moloto was eligible to participate in basketball and track last year at Ottawa as a junior because he was sponsored by the Rotary Club. But the high school association declared him ineligible this year because the Rotary is no longer sponsoring him.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit Wednesday in U.S. District Court against the Kansas State High School Activities Association on behalf of Errol Molote.
The association's rules require foreign students attending Kansas high schools to wait one year before becoming eligible to participate in intercolateral sports, music or academic competitions, unless the students are sponsored by a recognized foreign-exchange program.
American students are immediately eligible, or are eligible after 18 weeks if transferring into a Kansas school during the middle of their high school years.
Moloto is a member of the South African national junior basketball team. He finished fourth last year in the Class A4 400-meter dash at the Kansas State Track and Field Championships.

Earl would be the first to agree with Williams that his ability is not the same, but he would contend that he is getting close to returning to 100 percent.
"I wish I could have sat out a whole year—I wish I had a red-shirt year, but I'm a sucker for this game. I basically played last season on one leg," Earl said.
"But I'm getting there. My vertical is 36 (inches) now, and when I was healthy, it was 38-39."
The question now remains can Earl get back the two inches the injuries stole from his leaping ability?
"Most definitely," he said.
I could be paralyzed."
Most definitively, he said.
The knee injury last season cost Earl several games, and even in the games he played in, it cost him his effectiveness. But the rehabilitation began as soon as last season ended.
"It was tough," Earl said. "I'd go home sometimes and be in tears and say to myself, I'm never going to be the same. But I looked at it like this — it could be worse,
Earl worked intensely with Kansas strength coach Fred Roll to regain strength in his knee and with his family to regain strength in his mind.
After months of rehab and weeks of anticipation, Earl's first opportunity to test out his knees in a game-like situation came last Friday at Late Night with Roy Williams in front of more than 16.000 people.
During the team's annual midnight scrimmage, Earl did not necessarily shine. In fact, with
the exception of an un-Earl-like outside shot and a couple of fouls, he went un noticed. Earl's moment to shine, however, came just before the scrimmage when the team lined up to show the capacity around it.
I am a young African-American man.
Earl: Predicts he will live up to his abilities this year
slam-dunking skills.
Earl, easily at first and then more aggressively by the dunk, put on a display that might have not only quieted the nay-sayers, but also his own doubts.
With more power and more height, each one of Earl's dunks drew wild cheers from the crowd.
"It was tough. I'd go home sometimes and be in tears and say to myself, I'm never going to be the same. But I looked at it like this — it could be worse, I could be paralyzed."
Lester Earl Kansas basketball player
On one dunk, Earl started from the right base line, caught the ball, twirled, hung — seemingly for seconds — and slammed the ball with Shaq-like force. As he ran back to his spot in the rebounding line, he passed amazed teammates who bumped him and slapped him. Smiling from ear to ear, Earl high-stepped and pointed at his knees as if to say, "My knees are fine — look out."
"As far as living up to my abilities, I think this will be the year," Earl said.
He sounded confident.

Cyclones could be 'Hawks' remedy
By Shown Hutchinson sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
When the Kansas volleyball team takes on Iowa State at 7 p.m. tomorrow at the Horegis Family Athletics Center, it will be a perfect opportunity for the Jayhawks to snap their three-match losing streak.
Iowa State is in last place in the Big 12 Conference with an 0-9 record and has lost four straight against Kansas. The Cyclones also have lost 13 straight matches overall, have been swept five consecutive times and haven't won close. a Sept. 4 match against
Missouri
Kansas City.
Still, don't
talk to the
Jay hawks
about overlooking anybody.
VOLLEYBALL
"Granted
that they're 0-9, they're still a quality team," said Kansas junior outside hitter Amy Maity. "We're still going to have to play well and be competitive. We have a good chance to win as long as we do what we need to do."
The Jayhawks will have to contain Iowa State outside hitter Sheila Lopez, who has 149 kills and 108 digs on the year. The Cyclones also are led by setter Sara Stribe, who paces the Cyclones with 236 assists.
"There isn't a lot of significance in their season as far as their (record) goes," said Kansas coach Ray Beach迪. "They have some good moments, but they just haven't been able to put together
a complete match against a really,
really good team.
"When you look at the standings, a win over Iowa State is as significant as a win over Nebraska," he said.
A Kansas win would signal the end to its longest losing streak of the season, which has dropped its record to 13-7 overall and 4-5 in the Big 12. The streak started with a loss at then-No. 13 Kansas State, continued with a loss to No. 16 Texas A&M at Allen Fieldhouse, and expanded with a loss at No. 21 Colorado Wednesday night.
Tomorrow will mark the first time the Jayhawks have played in the center since an Oct. 9 victory against Baylor. The Jayhawks own a 5-3 record this season in their home facility and have drawn an average of 991 fans in the last two matches.
One key stat in those losses: All came when the Jayhawks were playing away from the Horejsi Center.
"We're definitely ready to come home to Horejsi," Myatt said. "When the crowd gets involved, it sort of builds you up." Volleyball note
Senior middle blocker Amanda Reves registered 13 kills on Wednesday night in the loss to Colorado, giving her 1,097 for her career and sole possession of third place on Kansas' all-time kills list.
The Jayhawks all-time killer leaders is Judy Desch, who belted 1,146 kills from 1984-87. Reves is averaging 13.4 kills per match this season, and at her current pace would give her first place during the Nov. 3 match against No. 13 Nebraska.

Rowers to be pitted against top teams in weekend regatta
By Shawn Linenberger sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
The Kansas rowing team, though, will jump in with the big fish right away.
Most college athletic teams start their seasons by scheduling teams of lesser caliber.
Kansas will be in Boston tomorrow and Sunday for the Head of the Charles Regatta, the largest regatta in the world. The field is loaded
Rowing
Brown, Virginia and California-Berkeley finished 1-2-3 at the NCAA Championships last year. The Danish Rowing Federation, Rowing Canada and U.S. Rowing are also in the regatta.
Earlier this fall, Kansas, which is ranked 22nd, competed at the Head of the Ohio Regatta near Pittsburgh with six of last year's NCAA Championship qualifiers, including Brown and Virginia. The Jayhawks finished ninth out of 21 boats in Pittsburgh. Last year, at the Head of the Charles, Kansas finished 17 out of 59 boats, a major improvement compared to 1997, when the Jayhawks came in 39 out of 50 boats.
Wisconsin, Michigan and Michigan State, Top-25 teams that were at the Head of the Ohio, will be in Boston this weekend, along with other Top-25 teams, including Stanford, Southern California and
Senior captain Keesha Cravens said that she thought the stiff competition early on would be good for the team.
"It's good that we don't have that slacking period," Cravens said. "We need someone to push us, to challenge us."
Kansas is positioned 14th at the start the race. Positions are determined by last year's finish. Teams that didn't race last year are positioned randomly after that.

Boston.
They've heard of the Jayhawks. There's also an amazing amount of alumni there, too."
Galvin also said people joked with the team about being from Kansas.
"They would ask, You have water in Kansas?" she said.
The Jayhawks are competing in the Club Eight Division on Saturday and the Championship Eight Division on Sunday.
The team will visit Harvard Square and Northeastern University's Boathouse in Boston. Northeastern is Galvin's alma mater. The team also will have dinner tomorrow evening at Galvin's parents' house in nearby Andover, Mass.
After the sightseeing,
the Javhawk will be all business.
"Our goal is to place in the top 10," Cravens said. "We just need to race our race."

Missouri struggles to find new producers
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com
Kansas writer/scripper
The 1999 Missouri football team has been struggling to replace its bread-and-butter producers from the past two seasons: quarterback Corby Jones and running back Devin West, both departed.
Behind Jones and West, Missouri went to two consecutive bowls and had similar lofty expectations coming into this season.
However, this season has been a struggle for the Tigers and coach Larry Smith. Missouri was quick out of the gate with a 2-0 start, but has since gone 1-3 with a victory against Memphis and losses to Nebraska, Colorado and Iowa State. The recent record sent the Tigers reeling back to .500 with a

Quit griping Mizzou fans: Just relish Kansas' success
There is so little to hate in life, but there are things out there that I do hate.
Hate is a strong word, but my feelings for rush-hour traffic, meat loaf and Oakland Raiders' owner Al Davis are just that — hate
But when you combine those together, it still doesn't even begin to explain how much I hate the University of Missouri.
The thing
hate most about
Missouri is the
students and
alumni who
constantly grieve
Brad Hallier
sports@kansan.com
that Jayhawk fans live in the past.
Tiger fans want us to forget our 1988 National Championship, our 10 Final Four appearances, our College World Series appearance of 1993, two bowl wins this decade and Tony Sands' NCAA record 396-yard rushing game against Missouri in 1991.
How's that for a claim to fame in college football? Rather pathetic isn't it?
But don't worry. We'll forget about all of the Jayhawks' success when you drop the 5th down against Colorado, the kicked ball against Nebraska, Tyus Edney and every win against the Jayhawks.
Kansan columnist
That is what is most pathetic about Missouri. Tiger fans can tell you virtually every detail of every win against Kansas. How sad is it when an athletics program bases its success around how well it does against its arch rival? If Missouri basketball went 2-32 but beat Kansas once, it would be a successful season. But if the Tigers go 31-3, lose twice to Kansas and again in the Elite Eight, it would be kind of a down year. I would have said a Final Four loss, but Missouri joins Nebraska as the only two schools of the old Big Eight Conference never to have made it to a Final Four.
That's Missouri's claim to fame in college basketball.
Oh sure, Kansas has its share of idiots and ignorant alumni and classless students. Every school has those. But Tiger fans take the cake.
A Missouri fan called The Kansas City Star last year after Kansas beat Missouri in Columbia and graped that Ryan Robertson lacked class by spitting on center court when the game ended.
Why was that lacking in class? When Missouri fans threw whiskey bottles and water bottles at our band last year, that gave the term a new meaning.
By the way, Robertson is not from Missouri. He grew up in Oklahoma but played high school
basketball in Missouri. Tiger fans booed him just because he wanted to play for a winner. Can you blame him?
And more ignorance came from a Missouri fan when Kansas won the inaugural Big 12 Conference basketball tournament in 1996.
by beating Missouri in the final. During that game.
final. During that game,
Jerod Haase and his personal rival, Jason Sutherland, got into a small scuffle. From then on, Jayhawk fans booed the Sutherland whenever he
had the ball. A disgruntled Tiger fan wrote The Star and whined that Sutherland's poor parents had to sit there and listen to their son being booed by the classless
Kansas fans. So booing Sutherland was wrong, but it was fine for Missouri to boo Robertson, right?
In closing, here's a final idea for Kansas students and fans. If the Missouri band comes tomorrow, do not boo it, do not cheer it, do not throw things at it
M
Just don't even acknowledge its existence. Few Missouri fans deserve that from us.
And by the way: It's pronounced Mi-zoor-EE, not Mi-zoor-AH. Kansas 17. Missouri 10.
Hallier is a Mission senior in journalism.
As all of you probably know, and no amount of time spent swilling beers at the Free State Brewery or The Bottleneck can change, Kansas recently outlawed evolution.
Chickenhawks play basketball; Tigers play 'real man's' sport
And that's perfectly under-
have no first-hand experience with evolution. It's only natural to disbelieve what you've seen
I also think that now is the time to mention that the only reason Kansas exists is because, hey, you have to get to Denver somehow.
I mean, God, the drive through Kansas on Interstate 70 is hell on earth. When you are in the city of Lecompont and there are no radio stations to be picked up — not even Tupac songs, you get, that very
moment, know exactly how Columbus felt in 1492.
Because you, like ol' Chris, have fallen off the face of the earth
Missouri columnist
Did you know that the only reason Wilt Chamberlain — God rest his, uh, soul — slept with more than 20,000 women is because, while attending Kansas, he got some leg up on the competition?
A couple of more things before we get this discussion started in earnest.
And since we're talking about Kansas, evolution is such a
great jumping-off point, don't you think?
You see, Missouri has evolved. Klar Larry Smith lost Devin West, Corby Jones and nearly his entire team. Admittedly, he
and his team are struggling this year.
A cursory glance at the statistics, however, will tell you that juniors and seniors have scored only three touchdowns
PETER KENNEDY
Wright Thompson
c089349 © showme mis-
souu.edu
Freshmen and sophomores howeys
er, have scored 19 times, or 66 percent of Missouri's touchdowns.
The Missouri media guide in two years is sure to have the big-play trio of Darius Outlaw, Eric Spencer and Travis Garvin on it.
Oh, and Justin Smith is a sophomore. Tailback Zain Gilmore is a sophomore. Three starting offensive linemen are sophomores. Garvin is a freshman. Spencer is a sophomore. Starting to get the point?
Kansas is 0-3 in the Big 12 Conference because the Chickenhawks suck. Missouri
is 0-3 because the Tigers are young.
No matter the outcome tomorrow — and I'm calling a Tiger win — remember the youth as you walk out of the stadium on the same campus where basketball (and not football) was invented.
After this season is finished, Mizzou fans will head to the ticket office in anticipation of the next two years of football. Kansas fans, however, will head straight to Allen Fieldhouse, secure in the knowledge that Kansas is a basketball school and that the Chickenhawks should leave a real man's game — football — to the men from the east.
A hated team — well, that's where K-State and Nebraska come in. Missouri fans hate those schools. Kansas is more of, well, a practice rivalry nowadays. It's fun to act all mad and pay lip service to hatred, at the same time knowing that all Kansas has to look forward to is basketball season and its annual split with the Tiger basketball team.
"Wait until basketball season.
Jayhawk fans always say after Missouri drops wood on the Chickenhawk gridironers.
Oh, and do you know what you call a Missourian who hasn't made it to Colorado?
You got it. A Kansan.

Goalposts swim in Jayhawk victory

Kansan sportswriter
After a 21-0 Kansas Jayhawk victory on Saturday against the Missouri Tigers, Kansas students celebrated on the field — and walked off with a $6,000 set of goalposts.
Jubilant students tore down the goalposts minutes after game ended. The goalposts tumbled into students' hands, where they were broken into pieces, paraded around the stadium and dispersed to nearby Potter Lake and various Lawrence locations.
Bob Frederick, athletics director, said he was excited about the victory and ensuing celebration, but he remained worried about injuries such a ritual could present.
"I'd rather that the goalposts didn't come down," Frederick said. "It's not the expense that worries me, it's the chance for injury."
Despite the opportunity for injuries when 30-foot goalposts tumble, the KU Public Safety Office said no injuries were reported in connection with Saturday's celebration. Still, the lack of injured injuries doesn't mean close calls didn't occur. Christy Ogle, Fredonia sophomore, said she tripped during the celebration and was worried about getting hurt.
"I thought I was going to be trampled," Oole said.
items worth more than $500 could be subject to a felony criminal charge.
No arrests were made for the goalposts' disappearance, even though anyone caught stealing
Frederick and the athletics department decided not to pursue charges against the jubilant
students, and the KU Public Safety Office will not arrest anyone who is in possession of goalobst segments.
"If the victim doesn't want to pursue it, then it's not an
issue," said Sgt. Mark Witt of the KU Public Safety Office.
"when I heard we won and the students tore down the goal-posts, I had an idea some pieces of it might be coming by," said
Instead of worrying about criminal charges, students carried the goalposts to various Lawrence locations including
Lewis Hall and the Wagon
Wheel Cafe, 507 W. 14th St.
Rob Farha. owner of The Wheel.
Roo Farah, owner of the place. Although a piece a student brought to The Wheel remained on the bar's patio for quite some time, eventually it was hauled away, Farha said.
Other pieces of the goalposts didn't make it to the bars.
Darin Brubaker, Topeka sophomore, dove into Potter Lake to retrieve the top portion of one of the goalposts' uprights. After retrieving the upright, Brubaker hauled the 10-foot section to Lewis, where he lives, but he was turned away by front desk personnel.
Brubaker disposed of the upright at an unnamed location, but remained proud of his find.
"It's the ultimate trophy," Brubaker said. "What's better to remember tearing down the goalposts than to take a piece of the goalpost home with you?"
Today, athletic department personnel will focus on ordering a new set of goalposts and having them shipped in time for Saturday's game against No. 8 Nebraska. Darren Cook, the department's director of facilities, will call companies today regarding new goalposts.
After the season, Frederick said he would look into ordering a reinforced goalposts similar to the set on Wagner Field at Kansas State. The goalposts at Kansas State are made of heavier metal and guaranteed not to be torn down.
"It's definitely something we'll look into," Frederick said.

For some, college is about classes; for others, it's about husbands
Story by Sarah Hale * Illustration by Kyle Ramsey
n 1955, when well-known politician Adlai Stevenson
politician Adalai Stevenson assured Smith College's graduating class that they would "love the humble role of housewife," no one questioned his advice. Women were encouraged to quickly add Mrs. to their names and to give up the B.S. or B.A. that they had just earned.
Today, nearly 45 years later, some of the old-fashioned values that motivated women in the 1960s live on. The term 'M.R.S. degree' is widely recognized at private colleges ranging from Baylor University to Texas Christian University to state schools such as Iowa State University or the University of Kansas.
talla, a student at Harvard,
said she knew what a M.R.S.
Linda Stanley, a 65-year-old woman who lives in San Francisco, was in the audience during Stevenson's commencement address at Smith College in Northampton, Mass. She said that she didn't oppose his message, because that's what women were supposed to do.
"I can give you 15 names right now of women from Harvard or Duke." she said.
degree was.
"There were 18 seniors in my residential house," she recalled. "Five got married right away, five more within a year and the rest shortly after that. It was the time period."
She said there was a picture in the Smith College yearbook of a woman showing her engagement ring. The caption below it
Even at the University, the number of weddings at Danforth Chapel on campus has remained consistent. On June 17, 1946, Commencement Day, there were seven weddings at the chapel. Fifty years later in 1996, there weren't any weddings scheduled for Commencement Day, but there were five on the day before, the maximum amount allowed per day. For the past two years combined, 392 couples have gotten married at Danforth.
Today that time period has passed, but not the concept, according to various wedding experts, marketers and research analysts across the nation.

Library research areas wanted
Many students occupy spaces in libraries, but don't use them
By Jim O'Malley
They look like the old cellblocks at the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, but they're in the stacks at Watson Library.
And people actually want to occupy them—not to be locked in, but to reserve a space of their own in the library for research.
Special to the Kansan
Of Watson's 46 research studies, 31 are small rooms on two quiet corridors on the fifth floor. But 15 are cell-like spaces with metal desks behind sliding steel mesh doors deep in the stacks on levels 1 center, 1 1/2 center and 2 center.
Faculty, graduate students and visiting and resident scholars are eligible to apply for Watson's research studies. There is so much demand that there is a three-year wait to get one, said Kent Miller, library facilities officer for Watson. He said there was a waiting list for both the fifth floor rooms and the studies in the stacks.
"The fact that people would compete for something like that is a sign of how scarcity space is on campus." Miller said.
Under a policy adopted by a faculty committee in the early 1970s, once studies in Watson are assigned, the holders can keep them as long as they remain faculty or are enrolled as students, he said.
Sarah Couch, head of access services for Watson, said there was no assurance that the library would be informed if a holder of a study was no longer enrolled.
"It's hard, almost impossible, to turn the studies over for people on the waiting list." she said
Applicants who do get studies end up not using them very much. Miller said.
The stacks are not the most pleasant place to sit and study, especially at night, said Kathy Gunter, circulation supervisor.
"I would need a flashlight and safety whistle," she said.
"I would need a flashlight and safety whistle," she said. Donna Mitchell oversees the stats at Watson. She said she occasionally saw people using the studies there, but more for storage of research materials than as a place to sit down and read.
"It's sort of a mystery when these people come and what they do there," Mitchell said. "The evidence of life isn't readily apparent."
The holder of study number 32 on level 2 center, for example, appears to be researching writer John Dos Passos.
But she said she knew people used them, because the books stored in them changed.
But other studies show few signs of use. Most are empty, except for trash in wastebaskets. Last week, number 33, 34 and 40 were completely empty except for form letters dated Aug. 14, 1997 from Watson's staff asking if the occupants

Anschutz Science Library and Spencer Research Library also have research studies available for use by faculty, graduate students and visiting and resident scholars for specific research projects.
still wanted the studies.
Anschutz has five individual locked studies on the north side of the second floor stacks. The studies are small rooms with wooden doors.
Judith Emde, science librarian at Anschutz, said each study was assigned to two people for a semester at a time, but that occupants could reapply.
"We haven't had much call for them, so there is no waiting list," Emde said. "We've been able to accommodate everybody."
Spencer has 45 research studies. Like the studies in Anschutz, they are small rooms assigned for a semester at a time for specific research projects, and can be renewed.

Merrill received a bachelor's degree with honors in humanities and English at the University of Kansas in 1975 and then attended KU Medical Center, earning his M.D. in 1978.
Columbine student's mother commits suicide
The speech will relate to a new class being offered through the humanities and western civilization department intended specifically for students going into medicine. The class will examine medical ethics through literature.
DENVER — The mother of a student wounded in the Columbine High School massacre walked into a suburban pawn shop Friday, asked to see a handgun, loaded it and killed herself with a shot to the head.
Cara Jung Hochalter's suicide occurred about six months after her 17-year-old daughter, Anne Marie, was critically wounded in the April 20 tragedy and left partially paralyzed.
Hochalter, 48, entered the Alpha Pawn Shop in Englewood Friday morning and asked to see a handgun.
When a clerk turned around to fill out paperwork, Hochhalter loaded the weapon with bullets that she brought, then fired one round that hit the wall and a second round into her head, Englewood police spokeswoman Leticia Castillo said.
The suicide was the latest shock for students and families in the Columbine area.
A student was arrested this week in allegedly threatening to finish the job begun by two student gunmen at Columbine.
In addition, CBS-TV was criticized for broadcasting a snippet of the security camera videotape that was taken in the school cafeteria as the massacre unfolded.
Falwell meets with gays for anti-violence forum
LYNCHBURG, Va. — The Rev. Jerry Failwell, who has denounced homosexuals for years, held an unprecedented meeting with gay Christians on Saturday in an attempt to reduce violent acts against raws and Christians.
Both sides said the gathering was productive.
Dozens of anti-homosexual protesters demonstrated outside, yelling at gay supporters as they entered the church parking lot. The Rev. Fred Phelps of Topeka, whose congregation also taunted gays at the funeral of slain gay college student Matthew Shepard, said Falwell was a hypocrite for meeting with the Rev. Mel White, a gay minister, and his followers.
Falwell, who has long believed that homosexuality is a sin, insists he will not change his views but has agreed to tone down his anti-gay language.
Four hundred delegates attended the forum Saturday afternoon.

Organizations want students to vote
SLAB sponsors drive to register KU voters
By Chris Borniger
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Even with national elections more than a year away, student organizations will work this week at getting out the college student vote.
Michael Henry, SLAB community affairs director, said he hoped the drive would interest more students in the political process.
Student Legislative Awareness Board is sponsoring this week's voter registration drive, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m today through Friday at the Kansas Union lobby.
eat more sodas, but "In the past, we simply had a table set out for registration," he said. "Now we're trying to go beyond that. The problem is, it's a non-election year, so we're trying to stir up excitement."
That interest in appealing to students led Henry to approach KU Young Democrats and
KU College Republicans. Representatives from the two groups will debate several national issues at 2 p.m. today at the Kansas Union lobby. The topics include each party's potential presidential nominees, the nuclear test ban treaty and gun control.
Jack Martin, Young Democrats president, said the debate aimed at raising students' awareness of the issues.
"People don't see politics as something that happens all the time," he said.
Martin said the debate would appeal to people from all areas of the political spectrum.
"If you're a hard-core Democrat or a hard-core Republican, you get to see each side beat up on the other," he said. "And if you're in the middle, you can find out a little more about where the parties stand."
More than 400 students registered during SLAB's drive last fall.
Henry said SLAB would sponsor another event in the spring during enrollment. That drive, he said, would be aimed at getting University of Kansas students to declare themselves residents of Douglas County, regardless of their home counties. That could earn the Lawrence area another seat in the
"That way, we can get a little more clout in Toneka," he said.
Legislature, Henry said.
Henry said it was particularly important for college students to get registered and to vote.
But because of students' hectic schedules and general voter apathy, Henry said it was important to bring the registration process to them.
"On the federal level, no other body is looked at as much, besides the elderly, as college students," he said. "In Kansas, the legislature hasn't looked at the University like it should. We're hoping to show college students do care and make a difference," he said.
"If you're taking 15 hours and working, like a lot of students, it's not the easiest thing in the world to do," he said. "We feel that whatever we can do to ease the process, we need to do."
Another activity slated for the week is a speech by Dick Bond, president of the Kansas Senate, at the Student Senate meeting at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in Naismith Hall.

Budget cuts worry Endowment Association
By Clay McCuistion writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
In the midst of two major fact-gathering campaigns, the Kansas University Endowment Association is grappling with a $2 million budget cut at the University of Kansas and the possibility of more funds being slashed in the future.
slashed in the lower With Gov. Bill Graves' September announcement of a 1 percent budget cut for all state agencies this fiscal year, the University faces a possible financial crisis. Provost David Shulenburger told the University Council Thursday that he was concerned about future state spending reductions.
Meanwhile, the Endowment Association is involved with two firms that are conducting research this semester. Chicagobased Grenzebac, Glier and Associates, Inc., which concentrates on campaigning and fund raising, is studying the feasibility of a capital campaign — a major fund-raising drive at the University. Clark, Martire & Bartolomeo, Inc., based in Englewood Cliffs, N.J., is studying the University's image among students, parents, faculty and community members.
"The Endowment should never be taken as an indication by the state to evade responsibility to the University. I think it's very important we don't have future cuts."
Robert Hemenway
Chancellor
Will the Endowment Association have to take up the slack left by state legislators? Jim Martin, president of the association, said it was unlikely.
Martin said the University had to be strongly supported by the state for the association's work to be successful.
"Donors do not make decisions to give because the state in any way reduces its support," he said. "We believe the state has a responsibility to provide good support for higher education."
"Strength builds on strength,' he said.
Last year, the Endowment Association contributed a record amount to University coffers — $54.1 million.
The possible capital campaign which will be decided on after the feasibility study is finished in late January or early February, should provide enhancements to the University, Martin said.
said.
"The capital campaign is meant to build on strengths, not to shore up weaknesses in the budget," he
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said the University's budget was the most important issue he faced. He agreed with Martin that it should not be the Endowment Association's job to replace state funds.
"The Endowment should never be taken as an indication by the state to evade its responsibility to the University," Hemenway said. "I think it's very important we don't have future cuts."
The chancellor questioned why the statewide cut was necessary.
"The real question to me is, why is this happening?" Hemenway said. "The state of Kansas cut taxes by $4 billion. What was wrong with 3/1/2?"
John Scarfe, communications director for the Endowment Association, said the University's image survey would be completed by the end of the school year.
"It's in progress," he said. "A great many interviews have been scheduled and completed."

"It's a great privilege to be able to work with somebody who is, as he is, committed to higher education." Hemenway said.
Graves said Kansas should expand higher education reform, work force training and the connection of educational institutions through the information highway. He also proposed the expansion of income tax credits and property taxes made on business equipment and machinery.
Ronald LeMay, president and chief executive officer of Sprint, said Kansas needed more technology-based businesses to bring skilled workers to the area.
"Sprint dominates Kansas City so much — and a handful of other companies — the diversity of high-tech companies simply doesn't exist there," he said. "We have built a leading innovative telecommunications company in that area, so it can be done."
Earlier in the day, John Yochelson, president of the National Council on Competitiveness, delivered the keynote address. He said the United States could lose its status as the world's pre-eminent innovator unless policies and investment trends changed. He also said that during the last ten years, U.S. economic and export growth was closely linked with technology innovation.
Doug Mahin, vice president of Raytheon Aircraft Co., said that Kansas was in the position to become a leader in technology innovation.
"Kansas has the opportunity for a better strategic technology plan and better state economic leadership vs. the other states," he said. James Barton, chief executive officer of Cyagra, which clones cattle, said his company would be advantageous to Kansas. He said Cyagra had two research laboratories at Kansas State University and would begin construction on a third in April.
"It if it grows the way we hope it will, Kansas is going to be the center of the industry." Barton said.
He said his company was looking toward Kansas' educational system to secure research technicians.
Graves said Kansas had many stigmas to overcome, ranging from the belief that the state is a flat and desolate wasteland to the controversy about evolution the Board of Education caused in August.

"I would suggest that on those kinds of controversial issues that there has to be better ways to resolve our differences than to air our laundry out in public for everyone to perhaps see and in some way criticize." Graves said.
He highlighted Kansas' location as one of its many positive attributes in attracting new businesses.
"Transportation costs have become such a significant part of doing business in this country that I happen to think location is a great asset for our state," Graves said.

Higher Education Act makes war on drugs into a war on students
The war on drugs has been waged in this country for years now, and regardless of its previous successes or failures, it now has overstepped its bounds. As part of the Higher Education Act of 1986, students now are ineligible for any type of federal financial aid if they are found guilty of possessing a controlled substance and must complete a rehabilitation program to regain eligibility. Although attempting to solve the drug problem in this country is a laudable goal, it is unclear how this measure does anything to accomplish this goal.
Financial aid penalty singles out drug offenders, punishing those who need higher ed
When attempting to analyze any policy, it is important to weigh the costs and benefits of that policy. The costs of this measure are obvious. Those students who have proven themselves worthy of receiving help with college tuition are punished because of past indiscretions. While this may seem logical, it is crucial
to note that no other felonies are subject to such intense scrutiny. This means that committing murder or rape is seen in a far more favorable light than the heinous crime of drug possession.
What, then, are the benefits of this law? It is hard to say there are any. First, it is doubtful that students consider the consequences of possessing drugs in regard to the future possibility of federal aid for college. Further, the law punishes those students who apparently have turned their lives around. Rather than opening the door to an education that will produce productive citizens, this law puts an obstacle in front of students who want to further their education. Education should not be used as a difficult-to-achieve privilege in the war on drugs, but rather as an obvious solution to the problem. Drug use in this country causes many problems, but are students seeking a college education among them?
In an attempt to remedy this unfair and ineffective statute, Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass, has introduced a bill in the U.S. House of Representatives that would strike this law from the books. Considering the relevance of this issue to college students, it is important that our voices be heard. Whether it is Student Senate passing legislation or students contacting their representatives in Congress, now is the time to speak up about the inequity present in the Higher Education Act of 1998.

U.S. Senate keeps nuclear threat alive
The U.S. Senate recently rejected a step to prevent the horrors of nuclear war from ever happening again. The world now will continue to live in the shadow of the nuclear threat and the realities of nuclear destruction from fear and nightmares to human death, suffering and disfigurement.
Two weeks ago, the Senate voted against ratifying a worldwide treaty, the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, to ban the testing of nuclear weapons.
In our current situation of dangerously unchecked nuclear proliferation, this would have been a crucial step in the right direction for the world. The prime minister of India, a new nuclear power, state that his

enough? We already can end nearly all life on earth several times over. We know definitively how much of which elements need to be imploded to send a hell-rain of fire and radiation down on a large area.
Unfortunately, the majority of Congress stated that the treaty was too much of a compromise of U.S. national defense. We vehemently disagree with this.
No one less than the U.S. joint chiefs of staff and the directors of all the major U.S. weapons labs support the treaty.
President Dwight Eisenhower summed up this situation best in 1961 when he said that not achieving a nuclear test ban treaty would have to be classed as the greatest disappointment of any administration — of any decade, of any time and of any party.

Perspective
Forget responsibility; insomnia is more fun
Some people would say that being unable to sleep at night is a bad thing. Some would say it's a detriment to a person's sanity. Others say it is physically depleting, causing them to endure headaches, backaches and numerous other physical ailments.
Still others would say that not sleeping decreases a person's productivity. A person who doesn't sleep at night instead will sleep all day, through classes, meetings and anything else that is a positive use of a person's time. They'd also say that someone who is sleep-deprived has his or her creativity completely sapped, an aftereffect of the emotional strain of not sleeping at usual times.

"negative" impacts, you also get to watch the finest cable television has to offer.
Back in the 1950s, insomniacs had it rough. When they were up at 4:30 in the morning, all they had to watch was static. Now, thanks to a more civilized system of television programming, those who can't sleep at night are treated to a bevy of quality sitcoms, news and infomercials..
For example, how else could average sports fans watch ESPN's *SportsCenter* three times in the course of three hours? They can't. They have to wait from 6 p.m. all the way until 10 p.m. for another installment. But late night cable provides back to back to back episodes of *SportsCenter*. Miss a section that you are interested in, wait an hour and you can see it again
The benefits don't stop there. Look at MTV. Everyone who foolishly sleeps at night has the same complaint about MTV: It was better when it showed videos. If these people would just wise up and stop sleeping, they'd be able to enjoy the
finest videos made. No of this Total Request Live nonsense. No Carson Daily with the Backstreet Boys. No screaming in Times Square with signs reading "N Sync 4ever." Instead you can see the videos for bands that people older than 15 enjoy.
Plus, you can enjoy all that Nick at Night has to offer. Admittedly on any given night you already will have seen the episode of *The Dick Van Dyke Show* it's showing about 300 times. But it's better to focus on the positive — you can recite along as Mary Tyler Moore cries, "Oh, Rob," and let's face it, at 4:30 in the morning, you should take any conversation you can.
Now some would say the underside of this quality entertainment is infomercials. But really, why suggest infomercials as anything but wonderful chances to see the stars of yesteryear attempting to get people who aren't fully conscious to buy stuff via 1-800 numbers? It wasn't during a normal waking hour that the question, "What ever happened to Judith Light of Who's the Boss fame?" was answered.
Infomercials also serve a purpose similar to the over-repeated sitcoms — they let you have someone to talk to at 4:30 in the morning. It's more dangerous with infomercials, though. I'm personally glad I don't watch TV near a phone as I begin reciting along: "No, I'm not totally satisfied with my life. Yes, I could use more personal power in everyday living. Yes, I do have a credit card..."
So my question to everyone else is: Why are you wasting your life sleeping at night? Come with me, eschew academic progress. Ignore the sense of mental stability found only by getting a good night's sleep. Become irritable and cranky with those you love. Sacrifice all at the altar of the late night cable TV god.
Only three easy installments of $24.95, ship ping and handling not included.

Pakistani general, GOP part of the same problem
Since the Cold War ended, we almost always don't know where the threats come from until they hit us. Now the world is being threatened once more.
The United States simply doesn't have a single enemy anymore. This fact alone is a serious threat. Americans don't have the Soviet Union and communism to blame for everything.
Times have changed significantly. Superman is no longer fighting Lex Luthor for world supremacy. He is fighting invisible enemies, and those are harder to defeat. Superman is fighting his internal
fears. Kryptonite is now everywhere. It isn't so easy. International politics definitely became a more complicated issue since the end of the Cold War in the late 1980s. The military coup in Pakistan is an example of an invisible threat. It has become common to see military leaders breaking national and international laws and treaties to gain power in their countries.

Many across the border, like Pakistan does. What's worse, the enemy across the border from Pakistan is on its way to becoming the most populous country in the world and also a nuclear power. I'm talking about India.
Pakistan depends heavily on foreign loans from the International Monetary Fund, and these loans ultimately are controlled by the United States. If Pakistan radically changes the status quo, it could
Pakistan has been under a military government since the coup earlier this month headed by General Pervez Musharraf. The new dictator spoke to his nation recently, and he was able to do something that's even worse than giving an end to democracy. He tried to justify why he did it.
He told his people that he was breaking the constitution to save the country. Musharraf said he would end corruption, restore the economy and "true democracy," and allow a free press. Finally, he said he would restore negotiations with India
What strikes me the most is that Musharraf claims that he is trying to save his country. What he forgot is that Pakistan spent 25 of its 52 years under military governments. Pakistan is in bad shape today because of its military.
lose millions of dollars in economic support.
Musharraf is doing this knowing he won't solve any of Pakistan's economic and social problems. He won't solve them because he is in desperate need of money and because he is not a skilled politician. He is doing it for power and because he wants to deal with India. Maybe he thinks Indians will be scared of a military head of state.
Leaders don't care anymore about their people. They care about power. That's happening around the world, and the United States is no exception.
Republicans in Congress also have become a threat to you and me. By not ratifying the nuclear test ban treaty, Congress may have caused other countries to continue developing nuclear capabilities. That's a ridiculous, party-biased and irrational decision.
Republicans don't want it ratified. Why?
Power. That's the word again. Republicans want to win the presidency next year. If this treaty helps the world to be a better place, Republican Gov. George W. Bush may lose his race, and Republicans will take their chances. A bid for the presidency became more important than the lives of billions.
What scares me the most is that one political figure has become indistinguishable from another. I don't see any difference between the Pakistani general and the Republican majority in Congress: Both are sending their countries to the trash can to gain power. The general ended democratic process, the only chance societies have to succeed and achieve common goals.
Musharraf also is playing with India, another huge world power. This eventually could start a widespread world conflict. Republicans are allowing the threats to national security to grow when they can stop them as of today. They are all, in different ways, playing with kryptonite. I hope that the kryptonite doesn't kill us all.

Death penalty not a crime deterrent
In a recent letter, Erik Roesh criticized Erin Simpson as ignorant, while he argued a profoundly ignorant stance on how to prevent handgun violence.

It's not a bed of roses
It's not a lot of twins and Stacy Small are 20-year-old twins who are juniors at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. After going from boyfriend to boyfriend, both women found themselves single when they began school almost two months ago — an idea that they were hesitant to admit scared them.
Her identical twin sister agreed.
"being alone doesn't scare me as much as it did before." Sallie Small said. "But it definitely worries me. Think about it, after I graduate, where am I suppose to meet him?"
Her teacher said, "I went to Vanderbilt because I wanted to meet a guy there," she said. "A lot of girls come to school with the expectations of getting a M.R.S. degree, that was in the back of my mind."
the sisters, who are from Greenville, S.C., said that going to Nashville, the big city, and finding a man from the South was important. Now, with two years to go, they have to think about the possibility that it might not happen. Both also are actively pursuing business degrees in human and organization development.
"I guess I always thought that the man of my dreams would sweep me off my feet." Stacy Small said. "Now, I don't know."
Instead, Stacy Small said she was focusing on school because she did want to be successful. She'll date, if the right guy comes along, but only if he has potential.
"I'm not going to waste my time on someone who I couldn't have a relationship with," she said. "What's the point?"
The sisters' attitudes may seem like a step back in time, but their emotions are more common than experts like to admit.
Shirley Harkess, professor of sociology at the University of Kansas, said that she thought more female students were not as focused on establishing a family early, but that she was sure there were students, women and men, who expected to meet their mates while in school.
She said looking at some of her students made her wonder if there was a change in their belief systems.

"I am surprised at the minority of students who I come into contact with who define themselves as partnered," Harkess said. "Not so much engaged, but in very meaningful relationships. I certainly see students who are managing undergrad requirements and significant relationships."

Kristy Doig, vice president of Youth Intelligence, a marketing firm in New York City, said that many college women today found themselves growing up alone because of divorce and other circumstances. Today, they're looking for some stability and think finding a
man to grow old with is one way to do this, she said.
"I have definitely started seeing more and more people getting married younger," she said. "There is a new set of values that doesn't work with the old stereotype of sowing your wild oats."
Today's college women believe in the concept of soul mates and want romance, she said. Waiting to get married isn't always the best option.
"The M.R.S. degree term sounds so old fashioned," she said. "And while people don't want to believe that women would have those intentions, some do."
Liz Nickles and Laurie Ashcraft, of Nickles and Ashcraft research firm in Chicago, agreed with Doig, despite their hesitations to admit it.
She said that they have found through surveys that young women today believed they could go to college and achieve it all — the husband, family and career. She said they wanted adulthood.
"I have noticed the trend in younger women looking for a family and a husband," Nickles said. "The notion of emotional extremism isn't true, they really want to embrace a family, but they have to get married first."
"We've heard that women are supposed to draw a line in the sand between staying home or going to the office," Nickles said. "This generation sees the possibility of crossing over
and handling both. It does n't necessarily mean they're negating their career. Maybe that's one reason the M.R.S. thing is back. They don't have to chose one or the other, and it's not a step back in time."
According to Nickles and Ashcraft's survey, the Gen Y2K Report. 79 percent of females between 20 and 24 years old said it was OK to take time from a career for responsibilities at home. In another one of the firm's surveys,

Nearly 7 percent of incoming college freshmen said they would get married before they graduated, according to the Higher Education Research Institute.
Lindsay Gilliland, a 21-year-old Hutchinson senior, recently became engaged to Tyler Clements, Overland Park senior, who she said took priority to her broadcast journalism career.
Going to the chapel
While she wasn't sure if she would meet her potential husband at the University, she always hoped she would. Despite her young age, she said that when she fell in love, she knew she couldn't wait long to get married. The two are getting married in June.
"I want to be a great wife
over an n an an an a
and a wonderful
mom." Gilliland
said. "My career
will come second."
Gilliland, who
was familiar
with the term
M.R.S. degree,
said that it
didn't apply
to her.
"The M.R.S. term is a bit degrading." she said. "I came to college to gain knowledge. It's just as useful to use that same knowledge in the home as it is in the corporation." She said that while she planned to pursue her career, it was not her priority. She said that she struggled with the idea of being a teacher
home mom vs. being a professional.
"If anything, I think there's pressure today to wait awhile before marriage and gain some life experience," she said. "That's silly for me, my life experience is with Tyler."
Laura Rupe, Wichita freshman, said that her mother and her grandmother both went to college for their M.R.S. degrees, and while she wouldn't mind if she met her future husband in school, she's not working for hers.
"Most likely, I will meet him here," she said.
Rupe said she went about three times a week and figured whatever happened would happen. She's looking for someone who is funny, intelligent, good looking, and it's important for him to have a degree and stable job.
"Ideally, in five years, I see myself with at least a serious boyfriend, if not engaged," Rupe said.
She said while she didn't want women to lose themselves in a man, she did want women to follow a set of rules for ultimate marriage happiness. Although there is a chapter in the book devoted to dating in college, Fein listed several additional ways to meet Mr. Right while in school.
Looking for Mr. Right
Ellen Fein, co-author of The Rules, a best-selling book that describes the basics of catching Mr. Right, said college women needed to be careful while dating.
"If you're at school looking for that perfect man, try to act like you're not. Go to class. If not, it's such a turnoff."
"Eat sensibly, wear make up, read fashion magazines," she said. "But also, pick a major and establish a career goal. Don't be a ditz."
The idea that women need to look perfect to attract a man, even while at college, is certainly on the rise according to industry reports.
Retail and cosmetics industry reports indicate that more and more women are purchasing items to make them look better each year. And shopping centers in America broke the $1 trillion sales mark in 1998 with a 5 percent increase compared to 1997 sales, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers. Additionally, 727 new shopping centers opened last year and 575 more were under construction.
There's a booming market.
VI
Angela Thompson, a TCU professor of sociology and self-claimed wedding expert, said that more women went to her classes dressed up than they did in the past. She said that it could be a regional characteristic, but she wasn't sure. She pointed out that she heard M.R.S. degree used more often in Texas than she did while teaching in Massachusetts.

Salvation Army considers offering year-round shelter
By Derek Prater
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Paul Bryant offered firsthand insights yesterday into the problems of homelessness sleep deprivation, malnourishment and social isolation.
"Brutal consequences for honest mistakes," said Bryant, a homeless Lawrence resident who ran for a city commission seat last spring.
Bryant spoke yesterday afternoon at the second of two public forums held by the Salvation Army, 946 New Hampshire St., to gather information in its plan to open a year-round homeless shelter in Lawrence.
Community members, representatives from a variety of social service organizations and homeless people attended the forums to give input to Salvation Army planners.
Katherine Dinsdale, a member of the shelter programming committee that developed the concept in conjunction with the Salvation Army Advisory Board, said a year-round shelter had been discussed for several years.
"Unfortunately, I think Lawrence has needed one for a while now," Dinsdale said.
The Salvation Army now operates a winter emergency shelter that provides homeless people with a place to sleep from October through early April.
Dinsdale said a year-round shelter with programs aimed at helping the homeless get permanent housing was needed.
"We're interested in making lasting changes in people's lives," she said. "When all you can give is a mat on the floor, you're not going to make lasting changes."
Chris Hess, Wichita senior, spoke at yesterday's forum and offered help on behalf of the University of Kansas Center for Community Outreach.
"Students really are concerned about homelessness in Lawrence." he said.
A number of speakers represented different social service organizations, such as the Community Drop-In Center, which wanted to offer input or help in the planning process.
Hess said he was encouraged by the coordination and open dialogue at the forum. Having homeless people involved with the planning and with the shelter is also important, he said.
"They are the experts on their own problems, and they are the experts on what they need to get out of their situations." Hess said.
Bryant said he would prefer a community-based volunteer shelter, but a Salvation Army shelter would be better than the situation now.
"Most of all you have to have stability." he said.
Bryant said that without that and a place to stay, homeless people were too involved with just staying alive to actually improve their situations.
Kelvin Heck, chairman of the Salvation Army Advisory Board, said the Salvation Army was the
SALVATION ARMY SERVICES
Emergency Winter Shelter: Opens tonight and operates through early April. Shelter doors open at 9 p.m. and those planning to stay must be in at 10:30 p.m. The emergency winter shelter provides a safe, warm place, to sleep. A warm meal is provided each night as well as breakfast in the morning for people who stay in the shelter.
Feeding Program: Provides hot meals to all comers at noon on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Social Services: Provides emergency and homeless prevention services. Services include food assistance, rent and utility assistance, transportation assistance and mail and telephone service.
most realistic candidate to build a new shelter.
"The Salvation Army is in the best position to get the most bang for the buck from a shelter," Heck said.
There are no definite plans on the size or location of the shelter, but Heck said the advisory board planned for it to serve roughly 50 people. Estimates for the cost of building the shelter range from $1 million to 5 million.
He said that he hoped to have a shelter up and running in 2001.
"But that's pretty much a shot in the dark right now," Heck said.
Physicist to address evolution
University is sponsor of free public lecture
By Jim O'Malley Special to the Kansan
The University of Kansas' commitment to science education is bringing the University into conflict with the State Board of Education.
Disagreement with the board's conception of science education has led the physics and astronomy department and the chancellor's office to sponsor a free lecture by Case Western Reserve University physicist Lawrence Kraus at 7:30 tonight at the auditorium in Central Junior High School, 1400 Massachusetts St. The title of the lecture is "Nonsense, Non-science and Science: From Aliens to Creationism."
krauss writes and lectures about science for the general public. The
title of one of his popular science books is *The Physics of Star Trek*.
Krauss said the board's decision prompted his trip to Lawrence.
"I think the board of education decision makes it clear that we, as scientists, have to do a much better job of explaining to the public, including journalists and legislators, just what science is all about," he said.
Hume Feldman, assistant professor of physics and astronomy, said the board's decision concerned his department because in addition to removing evolution from the standards, the board also removed basic physics such as the big-bang theory.
"it's going to affect everybody," he said. "If kids in Kansas are perceived by the nation not to be getting a good education, it's not going to help them in the marketplace or to get into good schools. It's not going to help getting people to come to Kansas. If I weren't
already here, I would think twice about coming."
Chancellor Robert Hemenway, said the chancellor's office was supporting the lecture by sponsoring the reception and refreshments scheduled to follow the lecture. She said this was one of the ways of carrying out the commitment the chancellor made in his Sept. 8 faculty convocation speech, which promised to use the state board's decision as an opportunity to promote scientific literacy in the general public.
Hemenway said the University's involvement in the issue wasn't political.
"The University is a marketplace of ideas and the exploration of any issue, even if it's one that's politically volatile, doesn't imply that the University is engaging in politics," he said. "The University's mission is education."
KC horrified by boys' deaths
Edited by Allan Davis
KANSAS CITY, Mo.— People just knew something was wrong in the two-story house on the corner at the top of a small rise in the quiet neighborhood.
The Associated Press
But no one suspected the horror of two 8-year-old boys — two-thirds of a set of triplies — being starved and burned with scalding water until they finally died.
The thought of one of the boys weighing less than 30 pounds when he was found unconscious by his mother Wednesday night has led to sleepless nights among the neighbors and shocked even a veteran homicide investigator.
was in court Friday to hear the ten charges of assault, abuse and neglect just hours after the second boy died.
A not guilty plea was entered for her as she trembled and mumbled to herself. Other charges could be filed when a coroner's report is received, Jackson County Prosecutor Robert Beaird said.
Bass called 911 Wednesday night after finding one of the boys, Larry, unconscious in the living room. He died in the house.
The mother of the boys, Mary Bass.
Gary was taken to the hospital in critical condition and died early Friday morning.
"It was just a skeletal structure; there was no muscle mass," Capt. Darryl Forte, commander of the homicide unit, said of Larry."It was
like something in a Third World country. It's just not something you want to see in this country."
Bass, who told police the boys were discipline problems, apparently locked them in an upstairs bedroom for days at time, feeding them bread and water and letting them out only to use the bathroom.
The three surviving children — a 12-year-old girl, a 10-year-old boy and the surviving triplet — were found to be in good shape when they were taken to the hospital. They were immediately placed in foster care. Forte said.
"They were OK," Forte said. "They weren't shocked." They weren't screaming or anything when we told them we were going to take them.

Large crowd opposes Klan
Only 16 members appear at NY rally without their masks
The Associated Press
NEW YORK—After days of legal maneuvering about their right to rally, only 16 Ku Klux Klan members Saturday stood silently inside a pen fashioned from police barricades and literally faced the jeers of thousands of protesters.
New York City succeeded in unmasking the Klan when a federal appeals court ruled Friday that the city could refuse to permit the event if participants insisted on wearing their traditional masks. The Klan continger wore their traditional pointed hats, minus the usual face cover.
Denied a city permit to use a sound system, the Klan stood
silently inside the pen, surrounded by police officers in riot helmets. The Klan members — including two women — were joined by two skinheads, one sporting a White Power patch.
"We can't get our message out," complained Jeffrey Berry, the National Imperial Wizard of the American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. "We are silenced."
The crowd of anti-Klan protesters, estimated at about 6,000, jeered and shouted angrily at the Klan. There also were about 2,000 onlookers, police said.
"We're fired up! No more talk! Klan crawl back under your rock!" they chanted.
Three police officers were injured trying to control the angry anti-Klan crowd, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said.
Among those demonstrating against the Klan were several people who had argued for their right
to rally — including Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., and civil rights lawyer Ron Kuby.
"We protect the right of free speech even if it is stupid and hate speech." Nadler said.
The rally ended after 75 minutes, with the Klan members flashing a Nazi salute to the crowd and shouting, "White pride!" Police escorted the Klan inside the courthouse as the demonstrators dispersed.
The rally followed a legal battle that eventually reached the U.S. Supreme Court on Saturday. Gluiani initially tried to deny the group a rally permit, but was overruled.
The city then argued that under an obscure 1845 law, the Klan could not gather if they wore hoods that covered their faces. On Friday, a federal appeals court upheld the city's position.
The Klan appealed Saturday to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to keep their masks, but Ginsburg turned down the request.
Colombians march in protest demand cease-fire, peace talks
The Associated Press
BOGOTA, Colombia—Millions of Colombians marched yesterday in the largest anti-war protest in nearly four decades of civil strife as long-awaited peace negotiations began in a rebel-held town.
began his life as a Claiming inspiration from such nonviolent crusaders as Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., marchers in 15 major cities and dozens of towns turned out to demand a cease-fire, swift progress in peace talks and an end to violence against civilians — the principal victims of a war that has claimed at least 30,000 lives.
Tacking peace ribbons to their lapels, painting their faces in the green-and-white colors of the budding peace movement and waving small paper flags bearing the simple slogan No Mas — no more — people filled main avenues in Bogota, Medellin and Cali.
"We have awakened from the
nightmare of apathy and fear," said Francisco Santos, a key organizer and newspaper editor from one of the country's most influential families, to a gathering in Bogota's Simon Bolivar park.
Santos claimed at least 5.2 million people marched nationwide in this country of 40 million. Police said two million protested in the capital.
Meanwhile, government and guerrilla negotiators convened in Uribe, a ranching town, to launch formal peace negotiations that have stumbled since their ceremonious January inauguration.
Armed rebels mingled through the hundreds of people who had gathered to witness the ceremony involving delegates of President Andres Pastrana's government and the leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, the hemisphere's most powerful rebel band.
After rebel negotiator Raul Reyes
read a speech railing against U.S.
military aid, a presidential peace envoy said the country faced two possible futures.
"Either we will destroy ourselves or we will rebuild ourselves," peace commissioner Victor G. Ricardo told the gathering.
While both sides boast that peace prospects are more promising than ever, they also are cautioning strongly against expectations of a quick resolution.
Many Colombians are hoping the anti-war movement — unprecedented in the South American nation where peace activists have been systematically killed by extremists — will light a fire under the negotiators' feet.
The civic protests come amid an escalation in violence that dampened much of the optimism generated by bold moves to forge peace that began with Pastranna's visit 14 months ago to the jungle hide-out of FARC chieftaine Manuel Marulanda.
Bluegrass' best event this year was festival held in Winfield
The Associated Press.
WINFIELD—Picking and fiddling are sweet music to Bob Redford's ears.
So is this: Winfield's annual Walnut Valley Festival has been named "Bluegrass Event of the Year" by the International Bluegrass Music Association. It edged out better-known festivals, including one established by bluegrass legend Bill Monroe.
The award was announced Thursday at the international association's convention in Louisville, Ky. Redford, producer of the Winfield festival, accented the trophy.
"He was really excited when he called about it," said Marilyn Alberding, a member of the Walnut Valley Festival's office staff. "He just couldn't believe he would get an award like this. Before he left, he said he wasn't going to get it, that he was just in the running, and he said he was still thinking that when you announced the award."
The other finalists were the Grass Valley Bluegrass Festival in Grass Valley, Calif., produced by the California Bluegrass Society, and the Bill Monroe Memorial Bluegrass Festival in Bean Blossom, Ind., which was founded by the late Father of Bluegrass himself.
"The winner is selected by a special awards committee, people with a special knowledge of bluegrass events," said Nancy Cardwell, IBMA special projects coordinator. "Iused to live in Missouri, and went to Winfield every year myself, so I know what a great event it is."
The Walnut Valley Festival doesn't always feature the top names in bluegrass, but up-and-coming players and late-night amateur jam sessions make it a popular draw. Those also were factors in the festival's selection for top honors, Cardwell said.

College offers students the opportunity to develop a new spirituality, despite their family beliefs
Lydia Taylor's rebellion started early. At the age of five, Taylor and her two brothers would sneak a cassette deck into the house and listen to contraband music under their covers at night.
"My first favorite band was Guns 'N Roses," said Taylor, Wichita junior and Kansan columnist. "My brother snuck it in several times and it was always discovered and destroyed."
Taylor's childhood was rooted in the faith of a Jehovah's Witness. When she came to the University of Kansas two years ago, she became atheist.
Taylor is not alone in questioning her beliefs, and the university atmosphere often provides a prime opportunity. Thad Holcombe, pastor of Ecumenical Christian Ministries, said any major change, such as studying overseas or going to college, engendered self-exploration.
"It raises questions of one's own religion," he said. "They're challenged to find the relationship between the meaning of all they see with the mystery of what is going on in their lives. Sometimes they change, deepen or drop out. But that's OK. That's the risk you take."
"It's best to ask questions and raise questions, particularly for students who have come from a traditional religion and now have a perspective that allows them to make decisions," he said.
Holcombe also said that from the ages of 17 to 35, most people search for their faith. While at college, they finally have permission to explore.
Taylor's doubts about her religion began when she was 10 years old. She said that in reading the novel 1984 by George Orwell, she could see similarities between the organization of the Jehovah's Witness and the society of Big Brother.
When Taylor came to college, she decided that she didn't believe the doctrines of the Jehovah's Witness and that she never would.
"Being at college gave me objectivity because I was away from the pressures of family and friends and having to go to meetings," she said. "I could consider all options. It helped to disconnect myself emotionally."
"The religion focuses on having to do good deeds to feel good about yourself," she said. "It's about the here and now — not the distant future."
"I really don't have an active role in my life right now," she said. "Mom retains hope that I will become one. I don't know if anything I could save would swai that."
Her break with Jehovah's Witness has strained her relationship with her parents.
Growing up, Taylor's books and music were censored by her parents. Her family didn't celebrate holidays, and it's hard for her to remember her brothers' ages because they didn't celebrate birthdays. She could not salute the flag and couldn't socialize with anyone outside of the faith.
Chacon grew up Catholic, but converted to Judaism in June. Her first introduction to the Jewish culture was during a trip to Israel with a friend three years ago. They started to discuss religion at historical sites, and Judaism struck Chacon as something that made sense.
While Taylor rebelled against a religion that was too strict, Andrea Batres-Chacon, Guatemala City, Guatemala, senior converted to Judaism because she wanted a personal connection with a higher power.
"I'll defend them but start out objectively and say 'They believe...' But when the discussion becomes heated, I revert to 'We believe...' which frustrates me to no end because I don't believe that way anymore."
When Chacon returned from the trip, she started to research other religions. She realized she didn't have to be Catholic simply because she was raised in that faith.
Although Taylor made her break with Jehovah's Witness a couple of years ago, she said she still had a tendency to react according to the beliefs in which she was raised.
"I did my research and shopped around," she said. "I think all religions are equally valid. I wanted a personal relationship with God, not through someone else, especially not another human." Growing up in Guatemala, Chacon went to church for weddings, baptisms and funerals.
"I didn't get a lot of spirituality from that," Chacon said. "We were very distant from the church. You can go through the motions, but if you don't feel it, it's not spiritual. If a religion doesn't invoke something emotional, why bother?"
Chacon gets mixed reactions when people hear of her conversion. Her mother was worried because she didn't understand Judaism. Chacon introduced her to the religion by buying her mystery books in which the detective was a rabbi.
Most of her friends are happy for her. Others feel threatened, she said.
Chacon's conversion took a year. For that year, she studied with a rabbi and was active in the Jewish community. She took a Judaism class for nine months, went to synagogue every Friday, lit candles and read. In June, Chacon wrote an essay and was interviewed by three people from the synagogue. Her final act was to submerge herself three times in a mikveh, a ritual ceremonial pool, and say a special blessing.
"It's the people who are negative who stick in your mind," she said. "The people closest to me at the time had the most negative reactions. One person told me 'Judaism is not a club. You can't just join it when you feel like it.'"
"A lot of times we're force-fed our religion from birth, and that makes it hard for us to find the good aspects of them," she said. "A lot are born into it, so they think they need to stay and don't realize they do have a choice of religion that is most comfortable with them. It's just the
"I'm more at peace with myself." Chacon said. "Before I really struggled with my religion. I know where I'm going. I don't feel so isolated anymore."
Chacon said that most college students lacked spirituality and pointed to a variety of reasons.
age we're in. We're already pretty confused."
Becoming spiritually independent and taking responsibility for his spiritual development were pillars on which Jim Para-Cremer, Destin, Fla., senior based his change from Catholicism to Baha'i.1
Cremer was born Catholic but only became involved in the faith at age 12 when he went through a whirlwind baptism and confirmation. However, as he grew older, Cremer wanted to be encouraged to question and look
deeper into the faith. He said he was tired of sitting in a pew and taking things passively.
"I've always been dissatisfied with what I call a wind-up Christian," he said. "They wouldn't live the life during the week but show up for the hour at church and then go out and get plastered."
Cremer met his wife in 1992, and they started sharing their beliefs.

She was Baha'1. He started attending Baha'i meetings and going to events; in 1996, two years later, he signed his Baha'i membership card.

"I was really into intellectual spiritual aspects," he said. "When I heard the Baha'i beliefs, I thought that they gave lip service to a lot of really great stuff — there has to be a drawback."
Baha'i beliefs include an independent
y
investigation for truth, gender and racial equality and the education of all people.
Cremer said he was much busier since he had become Baha'i. He educates himself constantly in preparation for life's experiences by reading, going to fire-sides, which are prayer meetings, and serving the community. He said that there were very few obligations in Baha'i.
"I can be my own person and celebrate others," Cremer said. "I was immediately shown that the only thing holding me back from being the best person I can be is i, and that really turned me on to the Baha i,"
His inner self also has changed.
"I'm more at ease because even when bad things happen, I see it as a test that I can rise and fight through it or wallow in my sorrow and fall," he said. "I'm much better armored against the crap in the world now that I have a stronger base of faith."

Forward Axtell fractures hand; likely will not miss any games

The much-anticipated debut of Kansas forward Luke Axtell may have received a minor setback Saturday.

mage on Saturday morning.
Axtell bumped hands with Kansas guard Marlon London and fractured a bone in his left hand,

Kansas coach
Roy Williams
Astell.-Scoored six points for the Crimson team at Lail Night
said that he probably will not miss any regular season games.
Kansas' exhibition season opens November 6 when it will play the California All-Stars in Allen Fieldhouse. The regular season will begin November 19 at home against Fairfield.
"I am very disappointed for Luke," Williams said. "He has worked extremely hard to get ready for this season. However, we expect him back before the regular season begins."
Axtell's injury occurred only one week into Kansas' official practices. At Kansas' first official practice, Oct. 15 at Late Night with Roy Williams, Axtell scored six points for the Crimson team on three-of-nine shooting in a losing effort. He also grabbed two rebounds and played 22 minutes in the scrimmage.
Axtell, 6-foot-10, transferred to Kansas two years ago after a tumultuous stay at the University of Texas, where he played as a freshman and was named to the All-Big 12 Freshman team.
After practicing with the Jayhawks last season and sitting out because of NCAA rules, Axtell was expected and expecting to be a big contributor on this year's team and Williams said that has not changed.
"He will continue to be a very important part of our team," Williams said.
Axtell will undergo further examinations this week and the exact amount of time he will miss should be determined shortly thereafter.

Jayhawks crush border rival Missouri in 21-0 shutout
By Mike Miller
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
It was a much-needed win against a much-hated opponent.
The 21-0 win against Missouri on Saturday not only ended Kansas' two game losing streak, but kept Kansas from dropping to the cellar of the Big 12 Conference's northern division.
The Jayhawks, 3-5 overall, 1-3 in the Big 12, were the beneficiary of things that had haunted all year — big plays and dominating defense.
Harrison Hill's 62-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter was the 'Hawks longest play from scrimmage this year, and his 44-yard reception in the third quarter was the third longest. Fullback Moran Norris had two long runs of 31 and 23 yards, and running back David Winbush broke off a 31-yard scamper late in the fourth quarter.
In all, those five plays accounted for almost two-thirds of the Jayhawks' offense.
But it didn't matter. The defense dominated the Tigers all day, producing Kansas' first conference shutout since 1993 - a 28-0 win against Missouri.
"We physically won the game. That's the bottom line," said coach Terry Allen. "The guys up front — Dion Johnson, Dion Rayford — defensively they were outstanding."
Kansas terrorized Missouri quarterback Jim Dougherty throughout the game, sacking him four times. He would end the game having completed 13 of 30 passes. He did not complete a pass for more than 20 yards, a testament to the improved play of Kansas' secondary.
The changes in the secondary, new starters Carl Nesmith and Muhammed Abdul-Rahim, also were a critical part of the pressure on Dougherty. Nesmith had a team-high eight tackles, including two for losses and a sack. And the safeties and linebackers zone blitzed more than in previous games, which disrupted the Tiger offense on more than one third down.
The Tigers did get some pressure on quarterback Dylan Smith, who was sacked five times. It limited Kansas' passing attack, instead focusing the team on ball control. It worked. The Jayhawks dominated the clock in the second half,
"We'd been doing it off and on this year, we just thought we could take advantage of it." Allen said.
holding a 13-minute edge in time of possession.
It was vindication for the Jayhawks, who thought the game should have gone their way last year.
"We should've beaten them last year and they knew it," wide receiver Harrison Hill said.
former Kansas players and football Hall-of-Famers John Hadl and Gale Sayers spoke to the team Friday night and again before the game, stressing how much a win against Missouri would mean to Kansas students and alumni.
"They just told us that this was not an ordinary game. We took that in and realized that it meant a lot," fullback Tyrus Fonteen said.
It obviously meant a lot to the Kansas fans among the 42,300 in attendance. Memorial Stadium was full through most of the fourth quarter, even when the game was no longer in question. When the students tore down the goalposts after the game, it emphasized how important it was to have beat Missouri.
"To see the students carry off the goalposts like that, it seems like we could hold basketball for a little while," Hill said.

Do Tigers players fans understand bands or class?
What is it with Missouri and bands?
For those of you who were out enjoying a beverage during halftime of Kansas' 21-0 victory against Missouri Saturday at Memorial Stadium, I'll fill you in on the details. A little incident occurred while the Marching Jayhawks were performing their halftime show.
As flautists, trumpeters and color-guard
members executed their patterns, a few Missouri players thought that they should touch up their skills as well. Mizzou players knocked into Kansas musicians and the color guard. Several flags, which are made of China silk, were damaged when Mizzou players stepped on them. Kansas thinks Missouri should foot the bill for the damage.

That's fine — as long as Missouri doesn't try
as Missouri does try to pay for the flags with whiskey.
As if practice would have helped the Tigers at halftime. The only reason the Tigers players were on the field was either because they were from the Ozarks and were not properly educated or because they learned how to act from their fans.
You might remember last year's debacle in Columbia, Mo., in which the Marching Jayhawks were pelted with liquor bottles by jans at Faurot Field. And, surprisingly, they were glass bottles, not plastic McCormick whiskey flasks.
The members of Kansas' band were not the only ones who have had problems with the Tigers warming up before the halftime show was done. The Missouri band, which was at Saturday's game and performed before the Marching Jayhawks, apologized to the Kansas band. Members said Tigers players have done the same thing to them.
Find another way to get under Kansas' skin. Mizzou. This isn't the way.
I've watched and attended several NFL contests in which high school and college marching bands have performed at halftime. But when the players warm up before the band has finished, they do it off the field and away from the performers.
The Marching Jayhawks know it too. While they were performing at a Kansas City Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium, members of the Buffalo Bills took the field a little early during halftime.
The difference: The Bills weren't in the band's face.
Saturday, band members saw the Tigers on the field and wondered how they would continue their show when the time came to march in the players' direction. After politely asking the Tigers to move, the band members resumed their business. The Tigers continued to use band members as moving targets.
Maybe the Tigers couldn't understand English. That might explain why Missouri players and fans couldn't understand the Kansas student body rushing the field and tearing down the goalposts after defeating a 0-4 conference team.
The Missouri players were still on the field.

Jayhawks end a three-game slide by pounding Cyclones
By Shawn Hutchinson
It only took the Kansas volleyball team a little more than an hour on Saturday night to get back to its winning ways.
Kansan sportswriter
"The this definitely was a good way to break our temporary downspell of losses," Kansas middle blocker Anne Kreimer said. "And it's good to be back in our home gym with our home fans who love to watch us play."
The Jayhawks dispatched Iowa State in just 62 minutes, sweeping the Cyclones 3-0 in front of 880 fans at the Horeis Family Athletics Center.
The Jayhawks, 14-7 overall and 5-5 in the Big 12 Conference, battered an out-of-sync Iowa State squad, which has lost 14 straight matches and
dropped to 0-10 in the Big 12.
Kansas used every player on its roster, with the exception of freshman settar Amy Billings. She hasn't played this season because of a broken patella in her right knee.
"We (wanted) to play everybody and still maintain a very high level of volleyball." Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "And I was very happy to do that."
ken patella in her right knee.
The Jayhawks were happy to get a win. Kansas had dropped three straight matches — two on the road and one in Allen Fieldhouse.
The Jayhawks welcomed themselves back to the Horejsi Center by cruising to an 11-6 lead in the first game behind two aces from outside hitter Nancy Bell and four kills from outside hitter Mary Beth Albrecht.
After the Cyclones scored a point when the duo of middle blocker Sheila Lopez and outside hitter Sarah Rollman blocked a Kansas attack, the Jayhawks retaliated and scored the
VOLLEYBALL
next four points, snatching a 15-7 first-game victory.
"It's kind of hard because when you play teams like this, it's easy to sink down to their level," Kreimer said.
"But I think we did a really
good job of maintaining our focus and playing up to our level for most of the match."
The Jayhawks maintained that focus for games two and three, walking away with 15-3 and 15-4 victories.
Kansas was led by Albrecht and middle blocker Amanda Reves, who both had 10 kills each, while outside hitters Amy Myatt and Danielle
"The main area of concern tonight was blocking," Bechard said after Kansas was outblocked 12-7 in the match. "But other than that I'm very pleased."
Geronomyon both chipped in eight kills apiece. Setter Molly LaMere had 32 assists and 11 digs.
The Jayhawks will get an opportunity to add to that total at 7 p.m. Wednesday, when they battle the Missouri Tigers at the Horejsi Center. Kansas already has beaten Missouri once this season in a 3-2 victory on Sept. 25 in Columbia, Mo.
Kansas has already matched its conference win total of last season, when it finished 5-15 in the Big 12. The Jayhawks also are only one win away from equaling last year's overall win total of 15.

Aquarius: Today is a 4.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
You're facing tough adversaries. If you're not making headway, perhaps you should wait for a better time. Why fight a battle you can't win? Stick up for the most important thing, but don't waste a lot of energy, or breath, on deaf ears.
Long-distance travel could get hectic. Short-distance travel is complicated, too, but not nearly as inconvenient. Stay close to home if you can. Traffic could be horrendous out there. Watch where you're going and where other people are going, too.

Jayhawks shut out Tigers with smothering defense
Kansan sportswriter
By Michael Rigg
sports@konsan.com
Kansas defensive lineman Dion Johnson entered Saturday's 21-0 victory against Missouri without a single sack this season.
On Saturday, both Johnson and Nesmith put together dominating individual performances that both solidified their spots in Kansas' defensive lineup and made Jayhawks coach Terry Allen a happy man.
Safety Carl Nesmith still was adjusting to a new position after being moved from wide receiver before the start of the season.
"It's a real credit to our defense," Allen said about the shutout. "The guys up front put pressure on the quarterback, and the linebacks and defensive backs played great coverage. Defensively, we had a great scheme, and, lo and behold, we shut them out."
Perhaps even more impressive
was that Nesmith came up with an assortment of big plays — including a key first-quarter sack of Missouri quarterback Jim Dougherty — in his first ever start for the Javhawks.
aynhawks
Nesmith still is trying to learn the safety position after switching from wide receiver before the season. Last season, Nesmith played wideout for Butler County Community College, where he also played quarterback. Allen said that Nesmith's learning curve has been steep, and he has been impressed with the development of his young defensive back.
"Carl has really progressed as a player for us," Allen said. "It's taken him a while, but now he's all over the football field making plays."
Nesmith agreed.
Nesmith said.
"I pick up the position more and more every game," Nesmith said.
"A lot of it was being patient, and I think I did a pretty good job today and made some plays."
and made some plays. In fact, the entire Jayhawk defense
was able to get pressure on Dougherty throughout the game, finishing with four sacks and forcing Dougherty into numerous hurries. Two sacks were by Johnson, who played seven games without collecting a single sack. It was simply a matter of changing his mental state, Johnson said.
"It was all emotion," he said. "We already lost against K-State, and with this rivalry, I just wanted to go out and leave it all on the field. I gave it all I got and came up big in the first half."
Allen, who is often befuddled with Johnson's lack of effort, also was clearly impressed with Johnson's performance.
"I think Dion just played hard and took advantage of some things," Allen said. "Dion was one of the recipients of a game ball, and you could see that his sacks in the first half were instrumental to our success."
Missouri takes field early, ruins color guard's flags

The band and color guard were performing at halftime when Missouri came back on the field and began stretching on the

The color guard's flags were sitting on the sideline and Missouri players ripped holes in the China silk flags when they stepped on them.
"I looked back when we were doing the show, and I saw them back there," color guard captain Becky Miller said. "We decided that when we went back there that the show must go on. It was surprising, really couldn't believe it."

"We tried to go around them, and we asked nicely for them to move," she said. "But they just kind of look at you funny, like they don't know why you're there."
Kansas' band is not the only band that the Tigers upset. Missouri's band apologized for their team's behavior.
"the MU band was yelling at their football team to get off the field." Decker
said. "They apologized profusely to us for them. They also told us that they do it to them at their pregame shows in Columbia."
"I talked to our coach and Dr. (Robert) Foster and they said that we will send the bill to them," Decker said. "For the most part, they're ruined."
The color guard will send Missouri the bill to get the flags replaced.
Miller said that she did not know how much it would cost to replace the flags.
"We tried to go around them, and we asked them nicely to move. But they just kind of look at you funny, like they don't know why you're there."

Game performances make Norris noticeable

Moran Norris could get used to all the attention.
Fullbacks usually don't get a lot of media attention, but there was Norris Saturday, answering questions, while his friends waited for him.
For the last three weeks, Norris had been staying longer and longer after games because his performances had been more noticeable, but his breakout performance during the 21-0 win against Missouri served notice that the junior from Houston is for real.
Against Southern Methodist he caught the first touchdown pass of his career. Against Kansas State he
nad a career-high 40 yards rushing, including a 28-yard scamper that was almost uncharacteristic for Norris, considering that he's 6-foot-2 and 245 pounds.
Now he's a featured back for the Jayhawks, in part because of injuries to running backs David Winbush and Henri Childs, and because he's made some equipment changes.
"Moran was the big blocking fullback with offensive lineman shoulder pads," coach Terry Allen said.
"He had trouble holding onto the ball, but we put him in some smaller pads. When you wear those big pads it's a little harder to hold onto the ball."
The added flexibility gave Norris an opportunity against the Tigers. His team-high 165 rushing yards on
"It was a typical war between these two teams, and Moran was the difference."
Terry Allen Kansas football coach
18 carries and two touchdowns were a large part of Kansas' win against Missouri. He showcased good speed and nifty moves on a 23-yard touchdown run during the second quarter, something for which Kansas' smaller backs usually are noted.
"I haven't seen those moves. Nobody has," wide receiver Byron Gasaway said.
But the performance came as no
surprise to Allen or to Norris' other teammates.
Dylen Norris gives the Jayhawks size and speed in the backfield. When matched with 5-foot-8, 230 pound fullback Tyrus Fontenot as a lead block, an intimidating backfield presence is something that might make other teams worry.
"I knew that he would do some good things for us," quarterback Dylan Smith said.
"When they see me and Tyrus in the backfield, I bet they do," Norris said.
At least for the Missouri game, Norris was someone the Tigers could have done without.
"It was a typical war between these two teams, and Moran was the difference," Allen said.

Aggies clobber Jayhawks
By Chris Wristen

Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas soccer team's postseason hopes were killed yesterday as the Jayhawks lost 4-1 to No. 12 Texas A&M at SuperTarget Field.
It was Kansas' last chance to qualify for the Big 12 Conference tournament and followed a twoovertime 0:0 tie to Texas on Friday.
"I think everyone went as hard as they could go," said Lindsey Loeffler, senior defender.
Kansas, 8-1 overall, 3-6-1 in the Big 12, came out firing in front of a record crowd of 633 fans as sophomore Melanie Schroeder uncorked a shot just 15 seconds into the game.
The Jayhawks' best opportunity to score came in the 30th minute, when sophomore Natalie Ho跃眶 collided with Texas A&M goalkeeper Melanie Wilson in midair. Junior Hilla Rantala came up with the ball but sent it sailing just over the crossbar.
"Both games came down to not putting our chances away," coach Mark Francis said. "We're creating chances, a lot of them, and some good ones, but we haven't been able to finish the last few games."
Texas A&M's Nicky Thrasher was able to finish, and she scored three goals in the game. Thrasher's first came in the 32nd minute, as she connected with a pass from Amber Childers and headed it just inside the near post.
The score remained 1-0 at the half.
"We really dominated the first part of the game," Loeffler said. "We came out with so much fire to win, but it just came down to who could put it in the back of the net."
But the Jayhawks wouldn't go down easy. Rantala scored off a pass from junior Meghann Haven with nine minutes remaining. Texas A&M (13-4, 7-3) scored again with just more than a minute remaining and sealed the game.
SOCCER
Francis was said he was proud of his team's effort
"I couldn't fault them on their effort today," Francis said. "To be honest, I don't think the result really reflects the game. They were definitely a good team, but I don't think they were 4 to 1 better."
The game marked the final home game for Jayhawk seniors Betsy Pollard, Laura Rohde, Cynthia Dahle, Melissa Downing and Loeffler. Pollard and Rohde spent time in goal, while Dahle and Loeffler started on defense. Downing, who is out with mononucleosis, let the crowd in cheers.

Francis said his team isn't done vet.
The team will conclude its season this weekend, when it travels to Mississippi for the Ole Miss
"We've still got a lot to play for next week," Francis said. "We set two goals for this year. One being to qualify for the tournament, which we can't do now, and the other, to finish with a winning record. And we've still got that opportunity next weekend."

Aggie forward gets soccer hat trick
By Brad Hallier
sports@kansan.com
Kansan associate sports editor
There may not be any question as to who will be named the Big 12 Conference's soccer player of the week.
Texas A&M's Nicky Thrasher scored five goals and notched an assist in two games last weekend. Three of those goals came yesterday in the Aggies' 4-1 win against Kansas at SuperTarget Field.
"I think she really hasn't really been at her best, but she's been working her way out of a mini-slump." Texas A&M coach G. Guerrieri said. "I'm really pleased for her this weekend. I'm biased, but I think we have the best forward in the conference."
Thrasher, who has scored 18 goals in the season, began the scoring against the Jayhawks in the 31st minute when she completed an Aggie counterattack by placing a powerful header into the lower left hand corner of the goal for the only goal of the first half.
The Jayhawks fell victim to another quick Texas A&M counterattack in the 53rd minute. After smothering a Melanie Schroeder shot from point-blank range, Aggie goalkeeper Melanie Wilson quickly punted the ball down the field to Thrasher. She beat the Kansas defense, found herself alone with Kansas goalkeeper Laura Rohde, and slipped a shot into the goal.
"We knew she was dangerous coming into the game," Kansas coach Mark Francis said. "I thought we did a fairly decent job on her. Just a couple of times we let her go, and you let those kind of players go once or twice a game, and they can bury you, which is what happened."
Thrasher completed her hat trick in 69th minute when she snuck in behind the Jayhawks' defense to touch in a cross from about three yards out.
Thrasher, who contributed two goals and an assist in the Aggies 5-2 win against Missouri on Friday, said that she was happy with her performance this weekend.
"I've been getting good balls, and luckily, I've been putting them in the back of the net," she said. "My job is to score goals, and when I get good passes, I need to finish them."
Thrasher, with 11 points this weekend (2 for each goal and 1 for an assist), is almost certain to be the new conference leader in points with 43. Prior to last weekend, she trailed Missouri's Nikki Thole by four points.
Thrasher said she was simply playing with more confidence this weekend than she had earlier this month, when the Aggies lost three out of four matches by identical 1-0 scores.
"When I get the ball, I need to play simple," she said. "When I play it simple, and when the team plays it simple, we are at our best. Before, I think I was trying to do a little to much."

Nebraska turnovers help Longhorns
Cornhuskers fall to Texas for third time in the 1990s
The Associated Press
AUSTIN, TN — The Texas hex continues for Nebraska.
"We knew it wouldn't do any good to do any talking before the game."
After hearing the Cornhuskers talk for a week about avenging a home loss to Texas a year ago, Major Applewhite threw for two second-half touchdowns Saturday and rallied the 18th-ranked Longhorns to a 24-20 victory.
"We knew it was important to do our talking on the field," Applewhite said.
Texas (6-2, 3-1 Big 12) has won three straight against No. 3 Nebraska (6-1, 3-1) since the merger of the Big Eight and Southwest conferences before
the 1996 season. Texas is the only team to beat Nebraska three times in the '90s.
The loss seriously damages Nebraska's bid for the national championship, and it dropped the Cornhuskers a game behind Kansas State in the North Division race for a berth in the Big 12 title game.
"You can say we're jinxed, have bad luck, but we just have to eliminate mistakes," said Dan Alexander, who led Nebraska in rushing with 136 vards on 21 carries.
Texas and Nebraska aren't scheduled to meet again in the regular season until 2002. The teams could play again in the Big 12 championship game in December.
"If we're good enough," Texas coach Mack Brown said. "There's a chance we'll see them again.
Nebraska led 2017 after quarterback Eric Crouch's 9-yard touchdown run with 7:52 left to play before Applewhite drove Texas 60 yards in four plays for the winning score.
with a 39-yard pass to the Nebraska 21, Applewhite found tight end Mike Jones in the flat. Jones broke three tackles, including one at the goal line, in completing a 17-yard scoring play.
His 13-yard strike to Kwame Cavil in the third quarter gave Texas a 17-13 lead.
After hitting wideout Ryan Nunez
Applewhite was 9-of-21 for 47 yards in the first half as Nebraska built a 13-13 lead. He was 8-of-9 in the second half for 166 yards.
"I played like I was in Pop Warner in the first half. It's just a matter of getting into a rhythm," Applewhite said.
Nebraska outgained Texas 429-275 but turned the ball over three times, including a fumble by running back Correll Buckhalter at the Texas 1 that
cost the Huskers a fourth-quarter touchdown.
Crouch passed for 204 yards, but was held to 35 yards rushing on 17 carries in the option.
Nebraska scored on three straight possessions in the second quarter on Josh Brown's two field goals of 22 and 32 yards and Buckhalter's five-yard run with 45 seconds left.
The turnovers were dramatic; very,very costly," Nebraska coach Frank Solich said.
With Texas forced to punt into a stiff wind, two of the Cornhuskers' scoring drives started at the Longhorns' 17 and 31.
Chris Robertson pulled Texas with in 13-10 four plays later on a one-yard run, his six touchdown this season on just 12 carries.
After Jones' touchdown, Nebraska drove to the Texas 38 on its final possession but turned the ball over on downs.
Texas was able to run out the final 2:15 because the Huskers had already used all their timeouts.
Cowboys crumble under Wildcats' pressure
The Associated Press
STILLWATER, Okla. — Kansas State had been here before, going nowhere and trailing by 21 points.
This time, the seventh-ranked Wildcats didn't need David Allen in coming back and beating Oklahoma State 44-21 on Saturday.
Kansas State did it with unflinching persistence on defense and big pass plays by quarterback Jonathon Beasley.
conference victory.
Oklahoma State (3-3, 1-2), inspired by the return of injured quarterback Tony Lindsay, built a 21-0 lead in the first 17 minutes.
"You have got to give them credit," defensive coordinator Phil Bennett said. "They had us on our heels. Our kids didn't lose faith in our ability to make adjustments. Once we made them, we could take the game under control. And we did."
Beasley threw for 311 yards, completing 13-of-25, as the Wildcats (7,0-4 Big 12) scored their 20th straight
But the Cowboys crumbled under the steady pressure of a Wildcats
C
defense that allowed only 60 yards in the second half and snagged four interceptions.
"I thought that we really started this game off executing our game plan." Oklahoma State coach Bob Simmons said. "We started out fast and we did hit a brick wall, and they got their momentum going."
back
It was an unflappable Beasley who led the steady second-quarter come-
His 56-yard pass to George Williams with 12:15 to go in the second quarter put the Wildcats in position, and Beasley capped the drive with a 1-yard run.
A fumble ended Oklahoma State's next possession, and the Wildcats took control at the Cowboys 17. Beasley found Quincy Morgan open in the left corner of the end zone for a 17-vard score.
And that was the turning point.
And that was the turning point.
Kansas State tied it just before half-time on Beasley's 35-yard pass to Aaron Lockett.
Beasley threw a 58-yard pass in a fourth-quarter drive that he topped with a 14-yard touchdown pass to Lockett. He added a 32-yard touchdown pass to Williams a few minutes later.
"I felt comfortable as the game went
on," Beasley said. "The line was blocking well, and the passes were falling in place."
The Wildcats rolled up 520 yards with the help of 192-pound Joe Hall, who rushed for 112 yards on 27 carries.
With 13:24 to go in the second quarter, Lindsay faked short and then threw a 24-yard pass to Ethan Howell for a touchdown.
Kansas State followed an interception by Dyshod Carter with a 30-yard field goal in the third quarter to move ahead 24-12. Beasley added a 19-yard touchdown run in the Wildcat's next drive.
The game moved out of range with 9:28 remaining on Beasley's 14-yard touchdown pass to Lockett.
The Wildcats had another interception seconds later, which Kansas State turned into its sixth touchdown.

THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS

He's got a ticket to write

Obscenities, gestures are part of the job for parking employee
By Michael Terry
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
As Zeke Cunningham drives a white Ford truck through campus, a female student leans out her car window and yells an obscenity while giving him the finger.
Cunningham, Topeka junior and crime and delinquency major, has not done anything wrong. He's only doing his job — he issues parking tickets for the University of Kansas Parking Department.
For Cunningham, the student's reaction is nothing new.
"There hasn't been a day that I've worked that a student, faculty or staff member hasn't had that exact same reaction," Cunningham said. "It just becomes second nature, and you learn to ignore it."
As the KU cops reporter for the Kansan, I rode around campus with Cunningham on Oct. 20 from 3 p.m. to midnight to learn what a KU ticketer's typical shift was like. Cunningham's official title is "safety security officer I," because he works full time. Students who ticket parttime are referred to as "student ticket writers."
As we leave the garage to begin our patrol, Cunningham talks about a common parking department misconception.
It is 3 p.m., and we stand on the first floor of the parking garage by the Burge Union. He tells me that tonight's shift will not be typical. Instead of three ticketers, Cunningham and I are the only ones patrolling campus tonight.
(USPS 650-640)
"Everyone seems to think we're out lurking in the bushes waiting for them to park so we can issue them a ticket, and that couldn't be farther from the truth," he said. "We're out
doing our job like everyone else, and if we see an infraction we're obligated to go and check it out."
We drive toward Allen Fieldhouse, and it doesn't take long to find the first violator of the evening. A silver Pontiac is parked next to a yellow curb at lot 70 by the fieldhouse, with a vacant meter a few feet away.
Cunningham reaches for his handheld ticket writer while I watch. He enters the license plate number and the device searches for the vehicle's ticket history.
He tells me this is the first year ticketers are able to do this, and that it
helps to access the violator's past ticket pattern. The new program, conversion and equipment, cost the parking department $62,000.
He continues to scan the lot and tells about when a classmate found out Cunningham worked for the parking department.
The information comes back, showing numerous unpaid tickets. Without hesitation, Cunningham presses the print button and issues a $20 ticket.
"One day in class a guy sat next to me, and we started to talk," he said.
"The guy asked me where I worked
and when he found out he got up and moved, and never talked to me again." Before he issues another ticket,
Before he issues another ticket,
Cunningham asks if I want to do it.
After a quick lesson in ticket writing 101, he sets me loose to issue my only ticket of the night.
I press the print button and think that it feels good to be on the other end.
At 5 p.m., Cunningham opens the iron gate at 14th Street and Jayhawk Boulevard. He says it is time to shift

Watkins warns women of the pill's recall
By Amber Stuever writer@kansan.com
By Amber Stuever
Kansan staff writer
Kate Treacy got a phone call from Watkins Memorial Health Center on Friday saying there was an emergency and that she must return the call immediately.
Treacy, Kenilworth, Ill., sophomore, who just had received a gynecological exam and been placed back on birth control pills, immediately thought the worst.
"He didn't say what was wrong at all," Treacy said. "I was scared. The way it was handled frightened me."
The problem was the sample packet of birth control pills Watkins gave her had been recalled by Ortho-McNeil, the New Jersey-based manufacturer of ortho tri-cyclen and ortho cyclen birth control pills.

Rock said women on the pill had no reason to panic. Those who had received potentially affected pills had been contacted by Watkins.

Telemarketers target audience: campus students
By Lori O'Toole
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Templin Hall resident and St. Joseph, Mo. junior said the calls, which occur every day of the week between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., irritated and disrupted him and his three roommates. One night last week, he received nine telemarketing calls in three hours.
Chrisy Heilkila, Great Bend freshman and Hashinger Hall resident, said she and her roommate also had a problem with tele-marketers.
She said she began receiving phone calls from credit card companies about a month ago.
Heikkila said the calls woke up her and her roommate in the morning. They usually came in pairs, she said, one for Heikkila, and another for her roommate about 30 minutes later.
Tiffany said he and his roommates wondered how the companies obtained their phone number and if the University of Kansas had anything to do with it.
Ken Stoner, director of the Department of Student Housing, said the department did not release student numbers this year or in past years.
"I have no idea how they're getting the numbers," he said, adding that companies could figure out which numbers reached the residence halls.
Linda Mullens, assistant vice chancellor, said it was against University policy to release or sell lists of names and phone numbers. She said there was also a state law that backed up its policy.
"There's a state regulation that prohibits taking names and addresses out of public records and using it for commercial use," she said. "Since we're a public institution, that applies here."
Stoner said that he was not aware of any student complaints to the department this year but that telemarketers had been a problem in the past.
"It goes in spells," he said. "We'll have a company go on a blitz campaign and call lots of students, but it's never been a very large problem."
Stoner said students should inform the department if they received repeat calls from telemarketers.
"There's probably not much we can do," he said. "If it is a problem or a nuisance, we can try to trace down the people and try to stop it."
Tiffany and his roommates have tried to slow the bombardment by asking to be removed from telemarketers lists.
Anna Hines, assistant director of Network and Telecommunications Services, said it was a strange coincidence that the telemarketing calls began after the student directory was published.
The KU Bookstores in the Kansas and Burge Unions sell student directories to KU ID holders for $2. However, those without a KU ID can purchase one for $4.
The residence hall phone numbers were easy to pick out of the student numbers since most begin with the new 312 prefix.
"The vendors try to find ways to the residence halls every year." Hines said. "You've got this group of students living in a condensed area so they have a big market, or at least they think they do."

Local rockers to raise money for human rights organizations
By Emily Hughey
Kansan staff writer
Tonight at the Granada, five bands will rock their way to defending human rights.
By Emily Hughey writer@kansan.com
Rights. The University of Kansas chapter of Amnesty International will host a benefit concert at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., to raise money for international human rights groups and for future Amnesty International events.
The Draft, 7 Days, Pillar, Hoistain and the Ray-Guns will perform beginning at 8 p.m. The cost is $4, doors open at 7 p.m.
Kyle Browning, Leawood junior and president of the KU chapter of Amnesty International, said the purpose of the concert was to raise both money and awareness for Amnesty International.
He said that the group would decide what to do with the money after the concert, but that Amnesty would probably give some of it to the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee, another international human rights group. Browning said the committee needed funds because November was National Leonard Peltier Freedom Month.
Amnesty, Browning said, was an independent worldwide human rights organization not affiliated with any political

ideology. He said the group was dedicated to missions such as defending victims of human rights violations and lobbying for the release of political prisoners.
"Of course I'd like to see the Granada full," he said. "But I'm keeping my expectations kind of low."
Erik Goodman, member of Amnesty International and Kansan editorial board member, said he was going to the concert both for the cause and for the bands.
"I'm especially interested in hearing the Ray-Guns," Goodman said. "They played at a concert with us last year. And as an Amnesty member it's potentially a good way to promote the group."
Kyle Marler, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore and member of The Draft, said he was looking forward to playing in the benefit concert.
"We're really trying to play different places and play to different people," Marler said. "This sounded like a good cause. Human rights are a really important issue."

KU professors selected as HOPE award finalists
Eight University of Kansas professors have been named finalists for the Honor to the Outstanding Progressive Educator award.
Each year the senior class nominates and selects outstanding educators who show concern for students. The winner of the award is selected by senior class officers and advisory board.
The eight finalists were determined
during a twoday campus election.
The eight finalists were determined during a two-day campus election. Jonathan Alt, Board of Class Officers president, said the award carried a different kind of honor than most awards.
"It's the award given to teaching professors by the people they're teaching," he said. "It's unlike anything else."
The HOPE award winner will be announced during pregame ceremonies of the Kansas-Nebraska football game at 6 p.m. Saturday at Memorial Stadium and will receive a $300 cash award and recognition on a permanent plaque in the Kansas Union.
The finalists are John Broholm, associate professor of journalism; Victor Contoski, professor of English; Dennis Dailey, professor of social welfare; Jerry Lewis, assistant professor of business; Sally Frost Mason, professor of molecular biology and dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; Tim Shaftel, professor of business; Greg Shepherd, associate professor of communication studies; Beverly Davenport Sypher, professor of communication studies and associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

E-mails tied to intruder Lawrence police say
Lawrence police seized two e-mail letters Saturday in connection with criminal trespassing at a female KU student's home at the 2500 block of West Sixth Street.
The victim reported that at approximately 8:30 p.m. Saturday, she and her boyfriend were sitting upstairs when she heard a door open down-stairs. The boyfriend went downstairs to investigate but found nothing.
The two left and returned around 9:30 p.m. She noticed the glass in a picture frame was missing. She found the glass broken in her closet upstairs.
The victim had received two strange e-mails on Oct. 14. Sgt. Rick Nickell said the sender had indicated an interest in the victim, and the letters were suggestive.
The letters were taken as evidence. No arrests have been made.
Mortar Board identifies outstanding educators
Five KU faculty members have been named 1999 Outstanding Educators by the University chapter of Mortar Board, a national senior honor society.
Winners are Chuck Berg, professor of theatre and film; Robert Carlson, professor of chemistry; Beverly Mack, associate professor of African and African-American studies; Judith Richards, instructor of Spanish and Portuguese; and Jan Roskam, Deane E. Ackers distinguished professor of aerospace engineering.
This is the second time Carlson has been honored by Mortar Board.
The faculty members will be honored by Mortar Board students next weekend; first in a halftime ceremony Saturday at the Kansas-Nebraska game, then at a reception at 1:30 p.m. Sunday at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union.
The recipients were nominated for their devotion to academics, teaching style, accessibility and subject knowledge. Mortar Board members then selected winners from the nominations.
CDC suggests getting meningitis vaccine shots
A federal advisory committee recommended last week that entering college freshmen be vaccinated for meningitis, a rare but potentially deadly infection that commonly is spread in residence halls and bars.
Watkins Memorial Health Center recommends the vaccine to incoming freshmen on its new student health history forms.
However, the vaccine now will include a recommendation from the Center for Disease Control's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.
Watkins has seen a rise in meningitis vaccines since the news show 20/20 reported on the disease on Sept. 17. According to 20/20, meningitis deaths can be prevented with increased awareness provided by a CDC recommendation.
The American College Health Association had been recommending the vaccine to incoming freshmen when the CDC's recommendation was released.
Last year only one or two immunization shots were administered at Watkins. Since the 20/20 report, approximately 100 shots have been given, said Randall Rock, Watkins chief of staff.
The vaccine costs about $60 at Watkins. Students can call Watkins at 864-9500 for questions about meningitis and the vaccine.

University loses to rival in blood-drive challenge
Kansas State University beat the University of Kansas for the second time this semester, only this time it was measured in pints of blood rather than touchdowns.
K-State won the traditional blood-drive competition, because Wildcats donated more than 800 pints of blood in their drive last week. The KU blood drive rendered 638 pints of blood.
The KU blood drive was sponsored by the Panhellenic Association and the Interfraternity Council.
C
Bill Guerry, IFC blood drive chair, said K-State traditionally had dominated the University in the competition.
although it lost by only 11 pints last spring. The last time the University beat K-State, he said, was Spring 1997.
this year's goal was 800 pints.
"I thought we had a pretty good flow of donors," Guerry said. "For some reason we didn't come up with the numbers that we needed."

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — A bell toled 13 times yesterday — once for each of the original colonies — as a crew with chain saws began cutting down the last of the Liberty Trees, where American patriots gathered to plot against the British.
Last Liberty Tree cut down
The 400-year-old tulip poplar fell victim to disease and decay. A final blow came from the winds of Hurricane Floyd.
Experts who examined the tree on the campus of St. John's College said it was in danger of collapsing and had to be cut down.
"The Liberty Tree has lived a long and valiant life and has been on life support for a century," college president Christopher Nelson said. For 200 years, the St. John's commencement has been held
Before the Revolutionary War, Liberty Trees were meeting places for local chapters of the Sons of Liberty throughout the colonies.
under the tree, and Nelson said cutting it down was a sad duty.
Historical records show that British forces destroyed trees in Boston and Charleston, S.C., Edward Papenfuse, Maryland state archivist said. He said the other trees were either cut down or died of disease and old age.
The end of Maryland's Liberty Tree was commemorated with a solemn ceremony on the campus of the nation's third-oldest college. Wreaths were laid at the base of the tree and of a 100-year-old offspring that stands about 100 yards away.
After the singing of the national anthem, written by St. John's graduate Francis Scott
Key, and the tolling of a bell, a worker riding in a cage was pulled about two-thirds of the way up the tree and began cutting the first branch.
If so, a clone will be planted at the site of the Liberty Tree and others will be presented to the 49 other states.
Among those watching was Gary Coleman, a university of Maryland scientist who is trying to clone samples of the tree's DNA taken about four months ago. He said it will be midwinter before he knows whether the effort will succeed.
Dennis Claude, a 70-year-old Annapolis resident who played under the tree's branches as a child, recorded the cutting down ceremony with his camera.
"It's a sad day. It really is," he said. "I thought it would be here as long as I was."
ON THE RECORD

Humanities valuable to physician
Class to instruct premed students on treating people
By Erinn R. Barcomb
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Next spring, premedical students will be offered a class that is less about body and more about soul, and Douglas Merrill wishes he could have taken it.
Merrill, a physician from Phoenix, Ariz., and University of Kansas alumnus, spoke at the Kansas Union yesterday about the value of a humanities education in a physician's practice. He received a bachelor's degree with honors in both humanities and English from KU in 1975. Nearly half of the audience of about 45 identified themselves as premed students.
The department of humanities and
western civilization will offer HWC 300 Studies in Medical-Ethical Issues in Literature.
Merrill said that if he would have had the opportunity to take such a class, it could have helped him deal with a situation he experienced in his practice: He witnessed a Hispanic family deciding whether to donate a loved one's organs. He said the Hispanic culture in Phoenix dictated that entire families make decisions together.
"I think what that class would have provided me is a different way to portray the situation to a different family," Merrill said.
Erin Fitz-Gerald, graduate teaching assistant in humanities and western civilization, will be teaching the class. It was her idea to combine studies in the humanities as part of a premedical student's education.
"Doctors aren't being trained to see their patients as persons," Fitz-Gerald said. "I think that medicine
can teach a doctor that the body is like a car that needs to be fixed. I think a humanities class will get them to think more about the whole person."
Fitz-Gerald said the philosophy behind the class would be narrative ethics, which is the use of abstract philosophy and English literature to examine ethics.
She used the abortion debate as an example of a topic usually discussed in philosophical abstraction. Narrative ethics also would examine the feelings of those involved in that situation.
Fitz-Gerald set the curriculum to include a book called How We Die by Sherwin B. Nuland.
Fitz-Gerald said the book addressed deaths due to complications of AIDS and cancer, and the process the body goes through when dying. The class will also examine medical ethics through films and art. Fitz-Gerald said.
Merrill, too, used films in his
speech to bring home his point that while biology classes trained doctors in technique, humanities classes trained doctors to deal with people.
He showed a clip from Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein, in which an frail elderly man is brought into a classroom and used by the instructor to demonstrate the body's nervous system.
While it is a humorous scene, it reveals the serious issue of how patients are treated by doctors and medical schools, Merrill said.
"The information brought to the students is at the expense of the health and dignity of the patient," Merrill said.
He encouraged premed students to relish their humanities classes and take away with them a greater understanding of human beings.
"There is not time to learn this in medical school," he said. "You are busy learning technique. You, the student, must bring your humanitarian skills with you to med school."

gears. We will now patrol the seven lots that are restricted until 7:30 p.m.
He says this is usually the time when he issues the most tickets, and it does not take long to see why.
We pull up to lot 3 behind Strong Hall, and almost every car is parked illegally.
He says he will give them a chance to move their vehicles by turning on his flashing lights to let them know he is outside. Two people come running out and move their vehicles.
Cunningham says the biggest problem with parking is that people are afraid to ask for help. If people see him and ask him where they can park, he says he always tells them the closest place.
Cunningham says he will let her go this time but tells her to tell her friend never to park in a fire lane again.
We head up to Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall for a quick check of lot 111. The first car we see is parked in a fire lane and as he is about to issue a ticket, a student comes out and asks that we not ticket her friend's car.
While leaving the lot he comments on the encounter. He says parking in the fire lane is a $65 ticket, three feet back is a yellow curb that is a $20 fine, and the meter tall a few more feet back is only a $5 fine.
We continue the patrol and ticket seven more vehicles behind Strong Hall before moving on.
owner of the truck comes back before he makes verbal contact with the tow truck driver he will let him off with a ticket, but the owner never comes and the tow truck driver takes it away.
It is 7:30 p.m. and all the lots on campus are open, but Cunningham says his job is far from being finished.
It is now 11 p.m., and after ticketing 63 vehicles, the shift is nearly finished. Cunningham says that usually more than 100 tickets are issued each night, but that the number is lower because we are the only patrol.
The last thing left for us to do is hammer some signs in the ground by the chancellor's house on Lilac Lane for an upcoming reception.
"If your going to park illegally, think first," Cunningham said. "The word for the day is economize."
It is now 10 p.m., and a parked truck is blocking traffic from leaving lot 3 behind Strong Hall. After Cunningham issues a ticket, he says that he has no choice but to tow the truck. He radios dispatch for a tow truck, and it arrives in 25 minutes. Cunningham says if the
LIBERTY
As we pound the stakes into the ground Cunningham talks about how relatively quiet the night has been.
We return to the garage, the shift finally over, and Cunningham says he has one last piece of advice.
"If you always read the whole sign before you park you will never get a ticket, and that's a guarantee," he said.

Students should wait their turns National Merit Scholars or not
The University of Kansas finally has proven that athletes in revenue sports aren't the only ones who get special treatment by the University at the expense of everyone else. Now National Merit Scholars do, too.
In a letter dated Oct. 13, all 101 of KU's freshman National Merit Scholars were informed that enrollment had just gotten much easier for them. The letter read, in part, "In the event you are not able to enroll in the classes you need, show this letter to the Enrollment Center supervisor. They will then give you a special National Merit completion form. Take this form to the Freshman/Sophomore Advising Center or the University Honors Program. Individuals in these offices will discuss your enrollment options."
Enrollment privileges given to Merit Scholars not fair
What this vaguely worded paragraph
gives to National Merit Scholars is permission to go to the head of the enrollment line without passing go. If a Merit Scholar wants to get into a closed class and no alternative exists, suddenly that class will have another slot.
This treatment is unfair to other hardworking students at the University, especially to graduating seniors in a spring semester. Interim Assistant Provost Diana Carlin, who wrote the letter to the Merit Scholars, told the Kansan that athletes were allowed to enroll early because of their schedules, and then wondered if it was even fair to
allow graduating seniors to enroll early. This statement ignores the fact that graduating seniors should get priority precisely because they need certain credits to graduate on time.
National Merit scholars should not be deprived of the college experience during their time at the University, much of which involves standing in interminally long enrollment lines during one's freshman and sophomore years. These students generally come from middle-to upper-class backgrounds, and they have enough money thrown at them just in the form of the scholarship. Perks that put at a disadvantage other students who may not have had the time or opportunity to become Merit Scholars is unfair and not needed.
Jennifer Roush for the editorial board
Economic sanctions should stop
Economic sanctions are one of the poorest foreign policy tools the United States uses. They are ineffective at advancing democracy, brutalize the poor and sick, and empower dictators. Currently, legislators including Pat Roberts are considering a bill that would reform foreign policy by removing sanctions on food and medical supplies. This would be a humanitarian move, good for the world and Kansas specifically.
Right now, one tenth of the world wheat market is cut off by economic sanctions. This hits farmers in Kansas harder than anywhere else in the nation. By lifting food sanctions, our farmers would have more access to the international market. This would have a rejuvenating effect on the Kansas wheat farmer.
Cutting off food and medical supplies only hurts innocents and empowers dictators
Food and medical sanctions have a devastating effect on the population of so called "rogue nations." In the case of Iraq, as long as water purification technology and medical supplies are denied, the citizens will continue to suffer while Saddam Hussein is glorified for his fight against the west. Malnutrition and water-borne diseases are some of the greatest threats to the Iraqis.
but they have a way to influence their governments to change policy. Nondemocratic nations, on which we impose most economic sanctions, do not provide the people with a voice in government affairs. Therefore, a dictator can allow the burden of an economic sanction to fall on his people while preserving the quality of life for the ruling elite.
When we impose sanctions for food and medical supplies on democratic nations, or nations such as South Africa in the early 1990s, the people may suffer
If we were to remove food and medical supplies from sanctions this problem could be treated, and humanitarian relief could be administered. Food and medical sanctions never affect the guilty parties, only innocent citizens who have no effect on the policies of their governments. To deny food and medicine to these nations is far worse than a military bombardment.

Broken ankle, codeine alter view of disability

So I can truly appreciate the rollings in the handicapped bathroom. In fact I
capped me see many facilities in a different light, gold and glistening from the heavens. For example, a typical office chair with wheels can be transformed into not only a transportation aid, but also a sponge bath perch. Every other day, because, hey, I wasn't that clean of a gal before the accident, I cover my roller chair in trash bags and towels, strip down to nothing and wash myself down with a cold, wet towel. Erotic, isn't it?
To wash my hair, I lean over the edge of the tub and let the shower spray hit the side of my head, mostly draining into my inner ear. As for body hair, I'm acquiring somewhat of a middle-aged Russian woman motif.
It sounds awful, I know, but not really in the Land of Codeine. Glassy eyes, slurred speech and full-body tingling make this Land a great place to visit, but no place for a home. The first three days after the fall, I was constantly loopy, but with no mobility to really enjoy it, just five
pillows elevating my foot and *Wings* three times a day. When I finally sobered up, I was in a deep depression about falling behind in my classes, letting my employer down and missing out on great Halloween parties — what could I be, FDR?
When I thought things couldn't get any worse, I had my first week on campus. After the first day, I had to take a day off to recuperate. I can't read my lecture notes from last Thursday because I had to take a pain pill after someone let the door close on my foot that day. I had to stop and rest every five feet on my way to Murphy Hall from Staffer-Flint. I hate wearing sweat pants. I think the codeine is giving me acne and my professors don't approve when I take a roller chair outside for a cigarette.
But don't cry for me, Argentina. This broken ankle could be a blessing in disguise. My own, personal fall 'break' if you will. Sure I have to gimp around campus for a while and I can't really feed myself, but I also don't have to walk up the bill or drive my friends to the bars. So yeah, Marc Summers, I'll take the physical challenge and I'll triumph and persevere because I have seen the worst and the best must be just a one-legged hop away.
So, do I understand what it is like to be permanently physically challenged? Hell no. My obstacles are circumstantial, the biggest being time. People with disabilities never have the cast removed, they overcome.
Pretty good lesson, huh? Yeah, well, it's just like in 'Soul Man' when C. Thomas Howell tells James Earl Jones that he never lived the life of a Black man because he had the option of not taking the overdose of tanning pills everyday. What an inspirational movie! Who says basic cable doesn't have some real gems?
Oh well, time to take my medicine.

Get more out of college than grades and diploma
I started college when I was 17, having already supported myself for six months. Working full time fell between classes and sleep.
When I walked onto the campus of my first of four colleges, I was holding life by the throat. I felt that I had to control everything in my life and that financial independence was paramount. That left very little room to enjoy what I was trying to accomplish. As a result, I missed out on a lot of things.

My days were filled with classes, my afternoons and evenings with work, and my late nights with homework. Somewhere in there I had a couple friends and a girlfriend. Last year, I found myself unable to relate to many people who

Instead, I filled my time with making friends and volunteering. I decided to live a simpler life. My summer was now going to be filled with

Just like you don't go to a football game just to hear the final score, I now believe that college isn't just about the diploma and the future. It is about the present. It is about memories and stories. It is about friends, learning, giving and experiencing.
I'm going to take that lesson from college into life. If an employer demands seventy or eighty hours a week from me, with a company cell phone and pager, I'll tell him or her where to stick it — because life is much more than just the bottom line. It is about the ink that you use above the line.
a reasonable amount of work and my school year budget was going to be determined by what I earned during the summer and my loan for the semester. No more." If I work a few more hours each week, I can get so-and-so." With the monetary stress gone, I was left to focus more on schoolwork and getting involved with the community.
I finally started to live instead of wandering through life like a zombie, wondering where last month went. While other students have stories of Cancun or Florida, the only spring break in which I didn't work full time since I was sixteen was last semester when I went to Denver to help build homes for families trying to make it on their own, without welfare.
I now have some "stupid things I've done while drunk" stories. I now have friends who will mean something special to me for the rest of my life. I now have debt. The college experience is mine, and it is priceless.

Feedback Preach freedom
My name is Mark Hulse. I'm one of the custodians at the Student Health Center. I'd like to express my opinion on the subject of freedom.
We as a people possess no greater, nor more valuable, gift than freedom. Freedom; to go where we wish wish, within reason, what we wish, express our individuality as we please, we cling to as our birthright.
All these things we claim as ours are unique as a whole in the history of nations.
Yet, sometimes gifts are not as appreciated as things earned. I hear a great many of you students expressing yourselves in the UDK and it sounds as if many of you would be willing to trade some of your freedom for peace of mind for however short a space of time. Let me assure you this is a poor trade. Any loss of freedom, even if it comes under the guise of being for the good of a few seemingly oppressed, must not be tolerated. I cannot understand why the young people of this institution, usually the ones desiring the most

We do not lack law; we lack patriotism. We do not lack perversion; we lack a positive sense of morality. We do not lack a "free" spirit; we lack accountability.
If you must err, err on the side of greater freedom. If you must preach, preach patriotism, liberty and morality. These are the soil that this great nation sprouted from and was watered with the blood of countless numbers of our brothers and sisters. Nurture liberty, and freedom will blossom in a new generation.
There is something truly atavistic about a front-page article in a college newspaper, in 1999, on students who come here for an "M.R.S. degree."
And there is also something

revolting about the author of this article referring liberally to "The Rules," one of the most awful books about relationships ever to come down the pike. There is no mention of the fact that this book advocates the worst kind of manipulative, dishonest behavior for women, all in the service of catching a man. Furthermore, the last time I looked, most women marry men. And I am presuming that these men are marrying of their own free will. When are we going to see an article about men coming to KU to find a mate?
If this article were only pure drivel, it would not merit the time it takes to write a response. But it's truly offensive as well, in its depiction of women as desperate, consumed by appearances, and not terribly deep. If you think this article is worthy of publication, maybe you should look into running Dr. Laura.

Secret History relives group's past
By Chris Eckert
Kansan music critic
There's always something suspicious about an unknown band releasing a greatest hits album. Usually it's a joke or parody of some sort, but in the case of The Divine Comedy's Secret History, it's an accurately titled album from a band only recently achieving fame in Europe and still waiting for a break in America.
The Divine Comedy is primarily Neil Hannon, who formed a fourpiece rock band in the early 1990s and promptly disowned it. He kept the name, and released a string of five albums in the United Kingdom, eventually finding his niche with collaborator and conductor Joby Talbot. The sound of the album is lush orchestral pop with a dry British bent to the lyrics, bordering on show tunes. After some success with Casanova and A Short Album About Love, counterpoints of contempt and adoration of romance, the Divine Comedy had its break with "National Express" off the album Fin de Siecle, a top ten hit in the United Kingdom.
The track listing of the album is confusing, in that it appears to follow in vague order the popularity of a given single, from greatest to least. This gives the album a disjointed feeling, mixing newer, more confident arrangements next to older, weaker tunes.
"National Express" opens the

Title: Secret History
Grade: A-
for the Weekend," a rolling tune about libido and noises from the woodshed, and "Everybody Knows (Except You)," an endearingly sappy ode to unrequited love.
While all three are deserving hits, Hannon sometimes displays his wry affection too prominently, such as
in the bombast and pomp of "The Certainty of Chance." Other times he revels in his bookish side in ways that the American pop market is never going to tolerate "Lucy" is a Wordsworth poem set to music, and "Becoming More Like Alife," though charming, is based on a Michael Caine movie from the 1960s.
At other points, though, the Divine Comedy shines. It is an unjust world in which songs like "In Pursuit of Happiness," "Tonight We Fly" and "Songs of Love" aren't staples of wedding DJs. But perhaps having swooning chorus lesues like, "You don't really love me / but I don't really mind / because I don't love anybody / that stuff is just a waste of time / your place or mine" ("Frog Princess") consigns a band away from blockbuster success and appearances on Slow Jams compilations. The Divine Comedy is often too sentimental and soft to appeal to rock fans, but too acidic to appeal to the pop demographic.
And with any greatest hits package, there is bonus material to snare hard core fans. Of the two new songs, "Too Young to Die" is at best average, while "Gin Saoke Boy" is a wonderfully catchy list song, starting with nonsensical metaphors ("I'm the shortness in the long / I'm the rightness in the wrong") and deteriorating from there, to beautiful effect. One song, "The Pop Singer's Fear of the Pollen Count," is rec ordered in a more assured, rounded arrangement, but falls short of the charm of the original. Another rarity is a Cole Porter cover, "I've Been to a Marvelous Party," a mix of cabaret piano and Eurandurance that somehow meshes.

Payne Stewart dies in Learjet crash
Golf champ killed with at least 4 others in South Dakota
The Associated Press
MINA, S.D. — A Learjet carrying champion golfer Payne Stewart and at least four other people flew a ghostly journey halfway across the country Monday, its windows iced over and its occupants apparently incapacitated, before noseliving into a grassy field. Everyone aboard was killed.
The flight plan said two crew members and three passengers were on the jet, but there were reports a sixth person boarded the plane just before it took off from Orlando. Fla.
The chartered, twin-engine Lear 35 may have suddenly lost cabin pressure soon after taking off for Dallas, government officials said. Air traffic controllers couldn't
raise anyone by radio.
Fighter jets were sent after the plane and followed it for much of its flight but were unable to help. The pilots drew close and noticed no structural damage but were unable to see into the Learjet because its windows were frosted over, indicating the temperature inside was well below freezing.
Set apparently on autopilot, the plane cruised at a stable 45,000 feet or so, flying 1,400 miles straight up the nation's midselection, across half a dozen states, before it presumably ran out of fuel some four hours after it took off.
"The plane had pretty much nosed straight into the ground," said Lesley Braun, who lives two miles from the South Dakota crash site.
Stewart, 42, was one of the most recognizable players in golf because he wore traditional knickers and a tam-o'-shanter hat. He won 18 tournaments, including three major championships. In June, he won his second U.S. Open, prevailing against Phil Mickelson with a 15-foot putt on the last hole.

"This is a tremendous loss for the entire golfing community and all of sports," PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem said.
Stewart was on his way to Texas, first for a meeting on a proposed golf course near Dallas, then on to the Tour Championship in Houston for the top 30 on the PGA Tour's money list.
Also killed were Stewart's agents, Robert Fraley and Van Ardan, and the two pilots, identified as Michael Kling, 43, and
Stephanie Bellegarrigue, 27. The jet was operated by Sunjet Aviation Inc.
Jack Nicklaus said Monday that he feared one of his golf course designers, Bruce Borland, 40. also died in the crash.
Authorities could not confirm that Borland was aboard and officials at the crash site said they could not tell exactly how many people had been killed.
Planes that fly above 12,000 feet are pressurized, because the air is too thin to breathe at that altitude. If a plane loses pressure, those aboard could slowly lose consciousness.
The last communication from Stewart's jet was over Gainesville, Fla., said Tony Molinaro, an FAA representative in Chicago.
Five fighter jets from Florida and Oklahoma went after the plane. Two F-16s had to make several passes to align with the plane, which was flying steady in the clear blue sky but was going slowly in comparison with the fighter jets.
Stewart and his wife, Tracey, had two children, Chelsea, 13, and Aaron, 10.
Lifelong Republican crosses party lines for 2000 election
The Associated Press
FALLS CHURCH, Va. — Rallying followers to a new patriotism, lifelong Republican Pat Buchanan abandoned the GOP yesterday to run for the Reform Party presidential nomination.
"Our vaunted two-party system has become a snare and a delusion, a fraud upon the nation," he said.
"Go, Pat, go," the crowd of at least 300 responded.
S. ROBERTS
"Neither (party) fights with conviction and courage to rescue God's country from the cultural and moral pit into which she has fallen," he said.
The repeat presidential contender lent a sense of last-ditch urgency to his transformed campaign. "If we don't 'Go now,' he said, twin.
Buchanan: spoke out against the two party system
Pat.'" he said, trying
to be heard despite cheers in a suburban Washington hotel, "every cause for which we have fought for seven years will die."
"This year, I believe, is our last chance to save our republic before she disappears into a godless world order," he said.
In the language of a scrappy revolutionary, Buchanan promised to shake up the 2000 race.
"Let me say to the money boys and the Beltway elite, who think that at long last they have pulled up the drawbridge and locked us out forever, you don't know this peasant army," Buchanan heckled. "We have not yet begun to fight!"
In a nod to the Reform Party's central issue, campaign finance reform, Buchanan sprinkled his speech with derisive references to money pulling the Democrats' and Republican's strings.
"Both write laws with corporate lobbyists looking over their shoulder," he said.
The conservative commentator's non-too-surprising announcement, which he'd hinted at for weeks and which was broadcast nationally on live television.
A potential rival, New York tycoon Donald Trump, also quit the Republican Party today and registered as a member of the Reform Party's New York affiliate, the Independence Party.
"The Republican Party has just moved too far to the extreme right," he said in a statement. "The Democrats are too far to the left. I believe the Reform Party can be the centrist party, which is in line with my beliefs."
Military exercises reminders of Cold War battles in Korea
the Associated Press
SEOUL, South Korea — It's the kind of thing that infuriates North Korean: images of U.S. and South Korean soldiers in training, crossing rivers and staring a mock amphibious assault.
The two allies plan to launch their biggest annual military exercise today, another reminder that the Cold War remains deeply entrenched on the divided Korean peninsula.
Still, tensions have eased since last month when the United States announced a partial lifting of economic sanctions against communist North Korea. The gesture was a reward for Pyongyang's agreement to forgo missile tests as long as talks continue with Washington.
But it's hard to tell from North Korea's public statements that the poor, reclusive country is in the mood for dialogue. The North's foreign news outlet, KCNA, bitterly referred to the 11-day "Foal Eagle" military exercise as "one more preliminary war."
About 500,000 South Korean soldiers and 30,000 U.S. troops, backed by tanks and helicopters, will train at sites south of Seoul, which is only 35 miles from the mine- and tank trap-laced border
with the North.
The USS Kitty Hawk, an aircraft carrier, is taking part, and the highlight will be a simulated amphibious assault at the southeast port of Pohang, the site of a major South Korean naval base.
Most North Koreans are denied access to television broadcasts from the South. But government officials can watch the usually extensive coverage of such exercises on South Korean television.
"Obviously, the North Koreans make a fuss about it, but they always do. It's the same kind of routine," said Narushige Michishita, a researcher at the state-run National Institute for Defense Studies in Tokyo.
Michishita monitors North Korea's missile program, which was the source of regional worry this summer when Pyongyang appeared on the verge of test-firing a long-range missile. Last year, North Korea rattled nerves by firing a less powerful missile over Japan and into the Pacific Ocean.
Fears over a missile launch have faded for now, but a host of other strains could jeopardize any significant easing of the Korean conflict, nearly half a century after the two sides fought the 1950-53 war that ended with only an armistice, not a permanent peace treaty.
Release of photo angers Missouri senate candidate
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Furious about accusations of racism leveled at Sen. John Ashcroft, Missouri Republics contend that a 39-year-old newspaper photograph of Gov. Mel Carnahan in blackface shows Carnahan is not the progressive Democrat he claims to be.
The 1960 photo unearthed by the state GOP shows Carnahan, who is challenging Ashcroft for his Senate seat in 2000, as part of a white quartet wearing black makeup in a minstrel show.
The race issue emerged after Ashcroft successfully led efforts in the Senate on Oct. 5 to reject the nomination of Ronnie White, the first black member of the Missouri Supreme Court, to a federal judgeship.
White's supporters said race was a factor, while Ashcroft maintains his concern was White's fitness for office, mainly his record in death penalty cases.
Research turned up the photo in the Rolla Daily News, the governor's hometown paper, Missouri GOP executive director John Hancock said in an interview Sunday.
A glossy print of the photograph and a copy of the clipping dated Oct. 12, 1960, were provided to The Associated Press by a Republican source on condition of anonymity. It shows Carranah, then 26; his brother, Bob; and two other men performing at a Kiwanis Club fundraiser.
Carnahan released a statement today, apologizing for what he called an insensitivity of 39 years ago.
The statement also said, "John Ashcroft has reached back almost four decades to try to find something to imply that I might harbor racist attitudes or would knowingly polarize our state.
"Senator Ashcroft's innuendo notwithstanding, I'm proud of my long public record of fighting racial injustice, a public record that began almost four decades ago and continues through today.
"Minstrely isn't lighthearted. It's one of the most degrading, derogatory mockeries of an entire race of people that has ever existed." Hancock said. "It bothers me when they inject race into politics, where it doesn't belong, when their own leader has this kind of sorry, sorry record."
Hancock denied having a hand in the distribution of the picture.

Tiger thrashing not without injuries

Kansas issued a beating in a 21-0 victory against Missouri Saturday at Memorial Stadium but was unable to escape uncathed.

Sophomore cornerback Andrew Davison was the only other Jayhawk hurt. He suffered a concussion during the third quarter and did not return but will play Saturday.

Rogers is smaller than Lomax, about two inches shorter and ten pounds lighter, but
"I had to learn both positions because Coach said I had to," Rogers said. "Either one is fine with me."
He played for an injured Lomax for much of the Texas A&M game and led the team in tackles with nine. Rogers had four tackles last week, including one for a loss.
"It's tough sitting behind him," Rogers said.
It was Rogers' game against Texas A&M that eased Allen's mind about playing him last weekend.
"Marcus played a majority of the game and did a good job," Allen said.
Rogers will team with LeClair to form a young middle linebacker group, one that will probably be the linebacker unit of the future.
For the Nebraska game, however, it's the linebacker unit of the present.

Men's club volleyball overlooked but fun
Story by Jason Walker • Photo by Chad Cummings
imagine a white ball about 10 inches in diameter whizzing toward your unprotected head at speeds up to 90 miles per hour. That's what it's like to play men's club volleyball.
While the men's club volleyball team at Kansas probably doesn't spike quite like professions such as Karch Kiraly, they do play intense volleyball. Even though they spike the ball with the speed of Roger Clemens' fastball, the players admit that in the world of volleyball, most of the attention goes to the women's teams.
"Most people don't know we exist," said Dennis Heier, Blue Springs, Mo., senior and setter on the Jayhawk team. "Especially at KU where the women have the varsity team. In general when most people think of volleyball, they think women."
heer said that he had watched athletes such as Kiraly and Sinjin Smith play on the professional beach tour and thought men's volleyball was one of the most exciting sports out there, but also one of the least known.
While the intense court action of the Jayhawk team is played by about 15 men. Nic Slayton, Derby senior and club president, said that he thought the reason interest in men's volleyball was lacking was because there aren't many men out there who have played before.
"I saw Karch break the all-time wins record," he said. "And I got his autograph. People will see my autograph and say, 'who's he?'"
Slayton got involved in volleyball because his father is a former high school and college coach. He said that he learned the game because of his dad's coaching career.
"I would just hang out at practice and watch
"Most guys probably didn't have a chance when they were younger," he said.
the girls," he said. "Then I started helping my dad coach."
Shayton said that when he came to Kansas, he got a job with the women's varsity team and learned about the men's club team through a friend.
"I knew I wanted to play, and my friend got me to come out," he said. "It's fun. There are a bunch of fun guys to play with."
The Jayhawk team is expecting to play about eight matches this fall and will take part in several tournaments this coming spring. Shayton said that two weeks ago the Jayhawks beat Kansas State in a match after the women's varsity game.
"We try to play after the women's games so we can get a crowd," he said. "We're pretty happy about the K-State game because they have a strong team. I think we're getting better."
Heier said that while about half of the men on the Kansas team hadn't played competitive volleyball before this season, the other half had played in high school or in a club. He said that the six-on-six indoor version of volleyball was different from the two-on-two beach volleyball people could have seen on TV.
"In beach it's all about experience, hustle and reading the hitters." he said. "Indoor takes a lot more athleticism. It's complex because there are lots of hitters. There's a lot more to the offense."
"We take the competition seriously, but at night we like to go out and have fun," he said. "I just love the sport. I think it's the best one out there."
Heier said he enjoyed the club because he loved volleyball and the team trip.
Slayton said he planned on playing volleyball as long as he could because it was a sport people could play for many years.

Jayhawks slap the stripes off Tigers in win
If I could have picked one game for the football team to win all year, this was it. A huge upset against in-state rival Kansas State would've been tough to turn down, but it was a distant second to a border-rival beatdown. No one from Manhattan ever came to Lawrence to kill him and pillow.
I have to admit that I was impressed with the piece in Friday's Kansan by Columbia Missourian columnist Wright Thompson. It was a particularly

But enough about Thompson.
nice job of riping off Rick Reilly. From the golly-gee-I'm-cute pose to the self-righteous, pseudo-cl clever self-indulgence, Thompson's column seemed as though it was ripped straight from the back page of Sports Illustrated.
He's just a symptom of a larger epidemic of bad taste and awful manners. If it's not its drunk, half-literate fans chucking bottles at our band, it's the scholarship athletes interrupting our halftime show. Missouri is a case study in what makes the whole state feel like the backwoods.
The color combination of yellow and black makes me nauseous, and there was plenty of it in Memorial Stadium on Saturday. Fortunately, a little Tiger tail-whipping proved to be a tough antacid. Watching a couple thousand Missouri fans forced to sit on their hands was nearly as fun as watching the 'Hawks finally break some big plays.
Harrison Hill's hands and Moran Norris' sledgehammer-style running highlighted what was an otherwise mediocre offensive attack.
the defense, on the other hand, was impressive all around. The line consistently stuffed the run and generated great pressure on Missouri quarterback Jim Dougherty. When Missouri did manage to breach the line of scrimmage, Carl Nesmith turned the gains into replay-highlight oohs and aaahs with bonecrushing and momentum-stopping hits.
As much fun as it was watching the Hawks shut out the Tigers, I don't know that it's necessarily a sign of things to come. It's evident that Missouri just stinks.
The game may not have been too pretty, but the immediate result was groin-grabbingly gratifying.
And as Grandpa Simpson says, "I'll be dead in my grave before I recognize Missour-ah."

Kansas takes first in doubles, first and second in singles

Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas men's tennis team went to the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Region V Championships expecting to finish high, and the players responded well to the pressure.
in the singles finals, two Jayhawks faced one another for the title.
Freshman Eleazar Magallan defeated sophomore Rodrigo Echagarray in three sets, 7-6 (7-3), 3-6, 6-1, for his first collegiate tournament win, improving his record to 16-4.
"I felt very nervous because Rodrigo is my teammate, and I had not expected to play
him." Magallan said. "I think we both played very well. He was ahead in the first set and beat me in the second set. I think the key in the third set that is I was more patient."
In the third round of singles Magallan defeated Rick Warren of Oklahoma 6-3, 6-0, and Echaguaray defeated Henry Choi of Indiana State 6-1, 6-1.
In the quarterfinals, Magallan defeated Jorge Abos Sanchez of Nebraska 6-4, 7-5, and in the semifinals, he beat Mirko Javanovic of Colorado.
Echagarray defeated Dusty Beard of Oklahoma 6-1, 6-4, in the quarterfinals and Gareth Keating of Indiana State 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 to reach the finals.
"The tournament was very good, and it really challenged our team," Magallan said. "I thought there were a lot of good teams, but I just kept playing
Coach Mark Riley said he expected to have a better idea who was going to step up after this tournament and lead the team this

"Magallan is an all-court player," Riley said. "He is a steady performer and now, he showed he's one of the best players on our team."

Kansas also won the championship in doubles as Echagarray and partner Ed Dusef defeated Beard and Jeremy Dunham of Oklahoma in straight sets 6-4, 7-6 (7-2).
"Ed served very well, and Rodrigo played well from the net," Magallan said. "Rodrigo also returned well on important points. They played very well as a team."
Dus and Echagarray earned their spot in the semifinals after defeating Mullins and Sewell of Wichita State 6-4, 7-5. In the semifinals, they beat David Cairns and Scott Byrd of Illinois State 6-4, 6-3.
"When two of our players reach the finals in singles,and our team wins the title in doubles, you can't ask for much more than that."

Taurus: Today is an 8.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
Make an agreement you'll be able to live with for a while with a partner. You need to take action quickly. How do you buy, sell and trade to get what you want? You're good at this. Make lists and get prepared. You'll have to know what to do when the time comes.
You'll be able to tell when the moon goes into your sign. You'll go from feeling rotten to feeling pretty good. Your worries will start to fade, and you'll get back into action. You don't have much time for romance, but don't worry. It'll wait.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
Push yourself early, that's when you're most productive. Later, you could get worried. You may think you've taken on too much. Well, maybe you have, but maybe not. Maybe you've grown. Maybe you're stronger now than you were before
but you're stronger now than you were before—and smarter, too.
Leo: Today is a 5.
You could get off to a slow start, but that's OK. At first you don't want to do anything, and everything you suggest gets turned down. Then, you get the support you need. All of a sudden, things go well again. So, hang in there.
Virgo: Today is an 8.
You start out interested in everything, and that's good. There will be a test soon. You'll need the facts at your fingertips. That's fine. You can prove that you know what you're talking about. Right? Well, you will by then, anyway.
Libra: Today is a 6.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
You're going to be in a grumpy mood for a while, but relax. You'll figure things out as you go along. Send out invoices to get the money that's owed to you. Get that done so you can drift into other pleasures later on tonight.
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
You and your mate need to figure out how to spend the money. That's the tricky part. You want one thing, and he or she wants another.
Compromise now; you won't have time later. Plan as quickly as possible so when the action starts, you'll be on the same wave length.
Don't be too critical of your performance this morning. As the day goes on, things should get easier. Later, discuss what worked and what didn't. Put in the correction, and you'll be even more successful next time. You're learning.
Sagittarius: Today is a 5.

Pisces: Todav is a 7.
The early part of the day should be the most interesting. Make decisions then. As the day progresses, it'll be more difficult for you to concentrate. Things won't go as planned, so don't plan too tightly. Have all the tough stuff done by then.
Everybody wants a piece of your hide today.

Prospect chooses Iowa wants playing time
Last weekend, one of Kansas' three recruiting prospects, Jared Reiner, chose to flock with birds of a different feather as he verbally committed to the University of Iowa and probably will become a Hawkeye next season.
Reiner, a 6-foot-11 center from Tripp, S.D., gave Iowa a verbal commitment late Sunday. Reiner was the third member of Kansas' big three this recruiting season but told Rob Matera of the recruiting Web site www.allstarreport.com that he favored Iowa because of coach Steve Alford's energetic personality and because Iowa offered him a chance to play right away as a freshman.
Kansas, however, has received a verbal commitment from 6-foot-5 guard DeShawn Stevenson, one of the nation's top prospects. The Jayhawks are also at the top of 6-foot-9 forward Travon Bryant's four-school list.
With three remaining scholarships, the Jayhawks will at least have one left after the November signing period — something that coach Roy Williams had said that he wanted at the beginning of the semester.

Rowing team fights wind, full field, misses top 15 goal
By Shawn Linenberger sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Strong head winds and a crowded field prevented the Kansas rowing team from attaining its top-15 goal in the Championship Eight division at the Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston Sunday.
The Jayhawks, who trailed the eventual champion, Rowing Canada, by 28 seconds after the first 120 meters, finished the 3.25 mile race with a time of 18:08.45. Kansas finished in 24th place out of 64. 1.37 minutes behind the national team from Canada.
Rowing into the wind and racing among numerous boats certainly didn't help the Jayhawks' performance. Only 12 seconds separated the Jayhawks from 14thplace Michigan State, Still, the
Southern California, with a time of 17:06.56, was the highest collegiate team, finishing fourth after Rowing Canada, USRowing and the Danish Rowing Federation. Kansas was 19th among collegiate boats compared to a 17th overall finish in last year's regatta.

"We hoped to finish in the top 15," Senior Tara Lynn said. "We were disappointed when we got out of the water. From now on, the only way we can go is up." Coach Rob Catloth also saw room for improvement.

The second-varsity boat competed in a strange race in the Club Eight division Saturday.
The Jayhawks had a strong race, crossing the finish line in eighth place, but a judge penalized them, resulting in a 38th-place finish. The team is petitioning the ruling because its boat never collided with another, which usually warrants the penalty. After the infraction, the second varsity boat finished with a time of 20:04.76.

Story By Katie Hollar Photos By Chad Cummings and Anne Roberts...

y mouth tastes like Vaseline. My scalp stings from having my hair teased. My swimsuit, glued to my butt, vanks my skin every time I take a step.
The stage lights are blazing, but I can make out the shadowy forms of at least 100 people in the Burlington High School auditorium, strangers watching, waiting for me to fail. I feel totally overwhelmed. And totally incompetent.
CARY CAYENN
How did I get here? And what was I thinking?
When I entered the Miss Flint Hills 2000 pageant, I told myself it was just for an article. I would go through the motions to get the details. I would remain cool, collected — and detached.
Armed with my reporter's notebook and a fresh tub of Vaseline, I had entered the scholarship pageant in Burlington. Despite the small-town

The pageant quickly became a source of amusement for my friends.

I found that the woman who, just weeks before, had been enraged with me for entering the pageant, the woman who had said she did not raise me to be "cute and decorative," the woman who had brought me into this world — had been transformed into a stage mom.

Chancellor criticizes evolution decision
Hemenway's article in education journal
By Jim O'Malley
Special to the Kansan
convocation speech.
Yesterday, the Chronicle of Higher Education published an article by Hemeway criticizing the board for its removal of evolution, the Big Bang and all references to the earth being billions of years old from the state's science education standards. The chancellor's office helped sponsor Monday's "Nonsense, Non-Science and Creationism" lecture by Lawrence Kraus, Case Western Reserve University physicist, at Central Junior High School in Lawrence. And the chancellor has appointed Assistant Provost Rich Givens to lead the scientific literacy task force promised in his Sept. 8 faculty
Chancellor Robert Hemenway's campaign to promote scientific literacy by opposing the Kansas Board of Education's new science standards is under way.
At Monday's lecture, Krauss told a crowd of about 200 that the press and popular culture did not distinguish between real scientific theories and nonsense theories that had been falsified by experiment and observation.
He said that science could not prove theories true, but that the predictions of evolutionary theory were in agreement with observations. Creation science has been falsified, and that was why he
EAGLE BANK
opposed giving it equal time with evolution in the classroom, Krauss said. He called the proposed alternatives to evolution garbage.
Kraus quoted former New York Times publisher Arthur Hays Sulzberger, who said, "I believe in an open mind, but not so open that your brains fall out."
In the Chronicle article, Hemenway said that by rejecting evolution, the board majority displayed a misunderstanding of
The evolution debate
scientific principles, rejected the central unifying concept in biology and humiliated the state.
of the board's decision was the suggestion that no one could believe in both God and evolution. The Pope, most Jewish theologians and the majority of mainline Protestant denominations reject that suggestion, he said. The board attacked the basic premise that public education should be pursued in a secular setting, Hemenway said.
Hemenway said the most disturbing part
The chancellor said that he thought the board majorly wished to destroy the idea that the public schools should be a source of truth and certainty.
"The majority of the board seems to believe that the only sources of truth or
certainty are the church and the family," he wrote.
Hemenway said that he thought the next elections would result in a new, moderate majority on the board but that scientists and the University should not be complacent. He noted that the evolution issue had been fought in 13 other states.
The chancellor said universities should produce scientists skilled in public discourse and able to take a public role, educate all students to be scientifically literate, and do what they could to educate the rest of the public to be scientifically literate.
Helen Alexander, associate professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, said the chancellor's article did an excellent job of summarizing the issues.
"It's especially important to emphasize that there is no conflict between science and religion," she said. "Science looks at the natural world. The supernatural is outside the realm of scientific inquiry but is not in conflict with it."

Housing keeps students in dark about room history
By Lori O'Toole writer@kanson.com Kanson staff writer
By Lori O'Toole
An Olathe sophomore keeps a female student trapped in his McCollium Hall room for more than 24 hours and sexually assaults her. An Arlington Heights freshman dies of asphyxiation in his Ellsworth Hall room. An Olathe freshman is charged with the rape of another student in another Ellsworth Hall room.
e
During the last five years at the University of Kansas, several tragedies have occurred within the walls of the residence hall rooms.
But the students who now live in those rooms probably have no idea what went on where they sleep.
Jon Burkett, Hannibal, Mo., junior and Ellsworth resident, lived on Ellsworth's 10th floor two years ago when one of his floo-mates died in her room.
He said after living through that experience, he would never want to live in a room immediately after an event like that occurred.
No university policy exists requiring the department to inform residents of a room's history.
Ken Stoner, department of student housing director, said in such instances, the department closed the rooms until authorities completed any necessary investigations. After that, the rooms were opened and rented to the next tenants.
However, he said it did not bother him to live on the 10th floor after it happened, and he does not feel uncomfortable around it now.
"I'd definitely choose to live somewhere else," he said. "It would feel too odd."

have a problem living in a room that had a traumatic event in its history.
"I'd be pretty much OK with it," he said. However, Booker said other sensitive students might become upset or uncomfortable living in a room with a creepy history.
"Student housing should tell people about it so they have a choice to move into a different room if they're bothered by it," he said.
Booker said students might otherwise learn of the room's history through rumors or uy students who lived on the floor in the past.
"It would be good information to know because some people have different superstitions," he said. "Then they might have to live in a room they feel uncomfortable in."

Student Senate may expand disciplinary hearing rights
By Chris Borniger
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
An administrative hurdle may stand in the way of some student rights crusaders in the Student Senate.
A bill going before the full Senate tonight would give students more rights in disciplinary hearings at the University of Kansas by guaranteeing them written notice of the charges, the right to have an open hearing and the right to present witnesses on one's own behalf.
The accused is allowed one person to help with his or her defense, but that assistant is not allowed to speak.
Presently, the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities restricts public access to the hearing and allows the accused student the right to confront only the witnesses presented by the University.
J. D. Jenkins, senior holdover senator, is the bill's sponsor. He said he decided to draft the bill at the suggestion of Eddie Lorenzo, an attorney for
STUDENT
THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
SENATE
the American Civil Liberties Union, during its defense of Jimmy Adra, a Wichita sophomore who scrawled two swastikas on a doodle board in McCollum Hall.
But whether Victoria Thomas, University general counsel, would approve of defense witnesses, Jenkins said, remained uncertain.
"Some red flags went up," Jenkins said. "The policy now is pretty good, but these improvements should be made."
"I think I got adequate protection only because of the ACLU," he said.
Jenkins, who is also the ACLU advocacy chairman, said the organization was concerned that administrators would try to expel Adra behind closed doors to avoid controversy.
Adra said defending himself in a closed environment with only the help of an adviser was trying.
"I think they're concerned that the accused person would bring in 20 people just as character witnesses," he said.
Thomas is out of town this week and could not be reached for comment.
Ted Frederickson, professor of journalism and a lawyer, said the accused student had the legal right to request an open hearing. Moreover, not allowing defense witnesses could constitute an infringement of rights.
"It seems to me that presenting witnesses on your own behalf is an elementary part of due process," he said.
Jennifer Wamelink, assistant director of student housing, said she thought hearings by the Department of Student Housing were conducted fairly.
In other business, Senate will consider:
A petition to give students until the fifth and sixth weeks of the semester to elect the credit/no credit grading option.
A resolution requesting the chancellor to decide on a free-standing recreation center rather than an addition to Robinson Center.
A bill to change the funding process for student organizations
A bill to initiate the Senate New Student Project program.
A petition requesting the University to offer more community service opportunities in its curricula.
Senators will also consider bills to allocate:
$275 to the Public Relations Student Society of America.
$287 to the KU Adopt-a-School program.

Presidential debate to be on-screen in Lewis
Lewis Hall's fifth-floor lobby will spotlight tonight's broadcast of the first debate between Democratic presidential candidates Bill Bradley and Al Gore
The University of Kansas Young Democrats organized the event
Democrats organized the event. Jack Martin, Young Democrats presidents, said bringing the debate and postdebate discussion to Lewis would allow more students in residence halls to learn about the candidate.
"We want to move events around so we can bring more people in, instead of just going to the Union," he said.
Martin said even those without partisan allegiances should be concerned about who would become the presidential nominee.
"I think it's important for Democrats and people in general to watch it," he said.
The broadcast begins at 7 tonight on CNN.

Physicians to highlight leadership symposium
Two physicians will speak tomorrow at the Kansas Union as part of the 14th annual Black Leadership Symposium. The topic of this year's symposium is "Health of Black People in the New Millennium."
Sharon Harris-Baugh, an obstetric-gynecology specialist from Kansas City, Mo., will speak at 10 a.m. at Woodruff Auditorium.
The event is expected to draw about 500 high school students from Kansas and Missouri to the University. The selected students must have a 3.5 grade point average and must be college-bound or have demonstrated leadership potential.
Charisse Sparks, who graduated from the University of Kansas Medical Center in May and now practices in Little Rock, Ark., will speak at noon at the ballroom in the Union.
Rod Bremby, Lawrence assistant city manager, will offer a special workshop designed for students who have attended the symposium in the past.
The symposium also will include workshops about rites of passage and preparing for leadership and post-secondary education.

Forum to support saving all outdoor sculptures
Betty Lu Duncan, a board member of the Kansas Historical Society, will lead today's University Forum at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries and will urge all participants to "S.O. S.:" Save Outdoor Sculpture.
The lecture is part of a national proect to preserve outdoor sculptures,
said Thad Holcombe, pastor at ECM.
"It should be very interesting," he said.
"The lecture will document the locations of outdoor sculptures in Kansas and will try to preserve them in their places."
Holombe said Kansas was one of the first states to have already coordinated a project to maintain its sculptures.
Lawrence contains many outdoor sculptures, some of which can be seen on Massachusetts Street.
The lecture, which is from noon to 1.
p.m., is free. ECM is at 1204 Oread Ave.

Cemetery, golf fees hiked by commission
The Lawrence City Commission approved fee adjustments last night for the city cemetery division and Eagle Bend Golf Course.
Fred DeVictor, director of the Parks and Recreation Department, said that the adjustments were projected when the department's budget was formulated in May.
Cemetery interment charges will increase between 13 percent for normal interments to 67 percent for disinterments.
The increased charges are necessitated by the rise in labor and equipment charges and an increase in week end funerals, which require overtime costs. DeVictor said.

Green fees at Eagle Bend Golf Course will increase by 50 cents for weekdays and $1 for weekends. The golf course
The golf course, which
has been open for 1.1/2 years, has not begun to pay for itself. DeVictor said that he was confident that Eagle Bend would make its revenue projections this year. The adjustments will go into effect Jan. 1.
In other City Commission news:
The commission deferred a decision on establishing no parking along the west side of Lawrence Avenue from 15th Street north a minimum of 150 feet.
The commission authorized the drafting of an ordinance to establish No Parking along the east side of Mississippi Street, south of 10th Street, along the west side of Indiana Street, north of 10th Street.

Semi-trailer crashes into Indiana school bus
SULLIAN, Ind.—A semi-trailer rig slammed into a school bus at a railroad crossing yesterday, shoving it into the bus in front of it and seriously injuring at least three people. Dozens
of others had bumps and bruises.
The accident happened about 8 a.m.,about 25 miles south of Terre Haute in the southern part of the state.
Two buses were carrying about 60 Vincentnes Lincoln High School students, most of them special education students in grades 9-12, said Tom Mandon, business manager for Vincentnes schools. There also were two teachers and as many as 10 chaperones on board, as well as the buses' drivers, he said.
The buses were stopped, one behind the other at a railroad crossing, when the truck struck the rear of the second bus, driving it into the first bus, Mandon said.
All of the people involved in the accident were taken to hospitals, Lt. Mark Hartman of the Indiana State police said. He said at least three of roughly 70 people were seriously hurt and the others on board suffered bumps and bruises.
The buses were carrying the students on an outing to the Children's Museum in Indianapolis.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—An explosive device blew up in the hand of a student dressed as the Grim Reaper in a lecture hall at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology yesterday, injuring him and two other people.
MIT student pulls prank; explosive ianites in hand
The explosion apparently was a prank gone awry, said MIT representative Bob Sales. The student was part of a group from the Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity who had been promoting a Halloween party.
As they walked through the aisle of the lecture hall during an engineering class, the device exploded in the 18-year-old student's hand. It was intended to have been simply a flash of light, school officials said.
The student, whose name was not released, was hospitalized in fair condition. Two others were treated at the MIT infirmary.
The building was evacuated and the police bomb squad called in.
MIT is well known for its pranks, or hacks, which date back at least to the 1920s.
Four years ago, hackers put a police car on top of the university's Great Dome. Another year, they dressed the dome in an enormous beanie topped with a propeller.
A 1982 prank was among the more memorable. Hackers dug a tunnel under the Harvard Stadium and launched an exploding black rubber balloon at the 50-yard line during the Harvard-Yale game.

Room histories not part of lease in KU housing

Stoner said a room might remain vacant after an incident if the demand for space in the residence halls was low. Roommates also could request to be transferred to a different room, he said.
There never has been an incident in which a student refused to live in a certain residence hall room because of a past event.
"I'm not sure that a new student would know of anything that happened in a room," he said. "They can't tell if it was on fire last year or not because it's been painted over. Typically, they don't ask for room history."
Cindy Lam, Arlington Heights, Ill., freshman and McCollum resident, said she didn't think the department should release room history information.
"It would just freak out the incoming freshmen,
and nobody would want to live there." she said.
"It's just where someone died," he said. "People die everywhere every day."
Ryan Miller, Overland Park freshman and Ellsworth resident, said it would not bother him to live in a room with any type of traumatic history, including one in which a student had died.
everywhere every day." Frank Basile, Overland Park freshman and Ellsworth resident, said he lived in McColum last year. While he was a resident there, he often heard people talk about the sexual assault that took place in the hall in 1996.
He said he would live in the room in which that incident occurred, or any other room with a similar past.
"It wouldn't bother me, but it would be really creepy," he said. "I'm sure I would think about it. It would be hard not to."

Overexercise linked with illness, eating disorders
Though exercising is necessary to maintain good health, overexercising can be detrimental, experts say. Overexercise can cause injuries such as tendinitis, stress fractures, muscle pains and joint irritations.

Kylie Colgan, Overland Park junior, works out six days a week for about two hours, incorporating a weight and cardiovascular workout. On less busy days, she often hits the gym twice a day, morning and night.
"I love it." Colgan said. "It's a great stress relief for me. And it feels good too, knowing I'm doing something good for my body."
Although Colgan said the workouts made her mind, body and soul feel better, health experts say exercise can be taken too far.
"Be reasonable, don't set too high of expectations, set a schedule you can maintain," said Larry Magee, coordinator of the sports medicine clinic at Watkins Memorial Health Center. "And listen to your body."
A person's body might send signals of overexercise including injuries such as tendinitis, stress fractures, muscle pains and joint irritations, Magee said.
Exercising very strenuously, often in the case of collegiate and endurance sport athletes, even can cause a susceptibility to illness.
"On the other hand, regular exercise can improve your immune system." Magee said. "It's only when you go to extremes that it can harm it."
When workouts are overdone, they also can impede the goals of the exerciser.
Dennis Jacobsen, Health Sport and Exercise Science instructor, said lifting weights too frequently could stop mus
cle growth. The general rule, he said, was to perform resistance exercises three days a week, or four days at the most. More than that does not leave adequate time for muscles to recover, and muscles will not grow.
Magee said people trying to lose weight would see better results if they exercised at a low level for long periods as opposed to short, strenuous exercises.
Overexercise also can be found in conjunction with eating disorders, experts said, although it does not cause them. Those who overexercise sometimes have an eating disorder such as bulimia, where a person purges and then overexercises to work off the calories.
Knowing how much exercise is too much varies from person to person, health experts say. However, Magee recommended exercisers increase their
workouts by no more than 10 percent a week.
Colgan said exercise could be addictive and that it was possible to take workouts too far.
"There probably is some psychological, if not truly physiological feeling for the need to do it on a regular basis," he said.
Magee said some people even got depressed if they didn't workout.
"I think once you start on a program and you're working out really hard and seeing results, it makes you want to do more," she said. "It can definitely be addictive."
Jacobsen stressed, however, that overexercising was not as common as not exercising at all.
"Overexercise is not a problem," he said. "Getting people to exercise is."
Group plans to save state's land

The Nature Conservancy will discuss plans to use at least $68 million in private funding to conserve significant habitats throughout the Great Plains at a conference tomorrow in Kansas City.
Alan Pollom, Kansas State Director of the national organization, said a conservation blueprint was created to research and identify ecoregions that species of plants and animals needed to survive during long periods of time. The organization defined an ecoregion as a relatively large area sharing characteristics such as geology, topography and climate and vegetation.
The Conservancy has compiled data about 64 ecoregions in the United States. The organization considers 13 states, including some of the Rocky Mountain states, to be a part of the Great Plains, which consists of 13 ecoregions.
Pollom said that research had been completed on two ecoregions in Kansas and Missouri. These are the "Central Tallgrass Prairie Ecoregion Plan", which includes parts of northern Missouri and eastern Kansas and the "Central Shortgrass Prairie Ecoregion Plan", which includes western Kansas.
"I think this project will do a lot to significantly protect important habitats in the regions. The Great Plains, as a whole, have been overlooked in the past because the landscape is not as magnificent as mountains or seascapes."
Kelly Kindscher Associate scientist for the Kansas Biological Survey
Kansas has four other ecoregions yet to be researched, including the Flint Hills, central mixed grass, southern tallgrass and the Ozarks, which include the southeastern corner of Kansas. The conservation project will continue for five years.
"We're trying something unprecedented in terms of conservation," Pollom said. "It will fail or succeed based on the private funding we can attract in to this effort."
Kenny Kindscher, associate scientist for the Kansas Biological Survey located on the
university of Kansas West campus, said that it brought needed attention to the area.
"I think this project will do a lot to significantly protect important habitats in the region," he said. "The Great Plains as a whole have been overlooked in the past because the landscape is not as magnificent as mountains or seascapes."
The Conservancy is the nation's largest private, non-profit conservation organization, and has offices in every state. It has 1 million members nationally, including 7,600 in Kansas. Pollom said it received 70 percent of its funds from private individuals and the rest from groups and corporations.
The Kansas chapter recently purchased 16,800 acres of land located on the Smoky Valley River in western Kansas, which will serve as the model for shortgrass prairie restoration.
Pollom said $3.5 million from national funds was used to purchase the land that contains some of the last remaining large areas of unplowed shortgrass prairie in Kansas. It is home to a vast array of wildlife including prairie dogs, golden eagles and pronghorn antelope.
"Our state's song talks about where the deer and the antelope play." Pollom said. "But pronghorn antelope don't play very widely in Kansas anymore."

When money talks, candidate walks
D
Last week, Elizabeth Dole announced her withdrawal from the Republican presidential primary, citing fund-raising difficulties as her main reason. Dole's fund-raising problems parallel an issue recently debated in Congress: campaign finance reform.
Because of Dole's action, campaign finance reform once again pushed itself into the limelight with a real application. Congress should take Dole's departure from the race as testimony as to why campaign spending should indeed be limited.
The fact that elections are still a year away should cause some alarm in Congress. Dole's excuse wasn't multifaceted or unclear; it was simply that, come primary time, she thought she just wouldn't have the necessary funding to compete. Nobody has voted yet, and a widely-respected candidate already has thrown in the towel — even though public opinion polls showed Dole in second place after Texas Gov. George W. Bush.
Congress should take Dole's departure as another signal to limit campaign spending
Campaign finance reform must focus on allowing a fair opportunity for all. Those that possess merit may encounter the unfortunate circumstance of being squeezed out of the race because of money. The merit of the candidate, which should be the obvious determinant, does not get fair play. Instead, candidates prove their worth through their pocketbooks, showing that money indeed can buy clout.
Losing Dole as a candidate has undermined the presidential race, especially its credibility. Her departure raises the question as to whether the best candidate actually will win. Even though Dole had a large base of support, her political agenda will not be heard by most of the public. Instead, she had to
bow out to Bush, decreasing competition in the Republican race.
Once again, money rears its ugly green head as an end-all. The race is determined by it, and as a consequence, the public misses out on the opportunity to vote for Elizabeth Dole.

'Bon appetit' isn't just for French cuisine
M y host brother José recently told me that food without fat wasn't worth eating. After living with his family for 2 1/2 months, I might have to agree.
Six nights a week, Jose holds true to his philosophy at his small restaurant, the Soda Santa

cheese, lettuce, ketchup, mustard, mayo and whatever else may be fresh. The width and height of these sandwiches can be a jaw-busting experience.
In the house, stove-up cooking is the norm — our oven rarely is used. Rice and beans are standard with almost every meal, as is fried steak, fish or pork. Anything Fried usually involves manteca, a solid vegetable oil that looks like lard. On the side is pasta salad, cooked veggies, potatoes, avocado slices and yuca, a starchy tuber similar to a potato. Standing guard over the dinner table in my house are 5 or 6 bottles of hot and Worcester sauces, as well as other spicy supplements.
Located around houses are useful food plants—coconut, papaya, orange, lemon, pineapple or plantain. Other common fruits for sale that you won't find in your supermarket include pejibaye, cas. guanabana and guajava.
A watchful eye in the jungle or on the beach has no trouble finding something to eat, especially where a human hand may have sown some seeds. On hikes, I've had lemons, oranges, mangos and pipas (fresh coconuts). A swift slice with a machete opens a hole from which you can drink the translucent coconut milk. These are also a
popular streetside treat, chilled, with a straw popped in. Coconuts rarely are kept for the flesh inside, but I have had a tasty no-bake cookie made from ground coconut, nutmeg and dulce, a brown sugar product that comes in solid cakes.
An interesting jungle treat is the fruit of the cacao tree, which is definitely a non-chocolate experience. The large pod splits easily, revealing 30-40 seeds surrounded by milky-white flesh. To get cocoa, the seeds are fermented, roasted and ground, but it takes little effort to clean a fresh seed of the sweet flesh for a succulent snack.
The cacao plant, Theobroma cacao, has a long history of use before European arrival in the new world. For the Aztec and Mayan people, cacao was used in a frothy, bitter drink consumed by the upper class. The seeds were used as coinage, a practice that continued through colonial times in much of Central America.
Besides the variety of fresh fruits here, I've also been spoiled with ocean-fresh fish. At least once a week, the fried eyeball of a small fish stares up at me from the plate. It was a bit disturbing at first, but the tender meat is excellent.
A fresh delicacy found only in bars is huevos tortugas, or turtle eggs. The intact yolk of an egg is mixed with tomato juice, hot sauce and other spices for a non-alcoholic, protein-filled shot. It goes down easier than you might think—the only thing that really hurts is the conscience. The harvest of sea-turtle eggs is legal in one place in Costa Rica. Begun as an experiment in sustainable development to discourage poachers and provide a nearby village with income, the program recently has been questioned for lack of monitoring and scientific data.
While Costa Rica may not be famous around the world for its cuisine, I have enjoyed sampling as much as possible. For the most part, the food is similar to the states, but little differences keep me coming back for more. And with the smell wafting from José's restaurant every night, it's hard to say no.
Maybe that's why I recently moved my belt out a notch.

Exchange student juggles life,the value of a dollar
Without my parents' economic support, I wouldn't be here today. Although I received a scholarship to complete my bachelor's degree at the University of Kansas, I still needed money for daily expenses, books, health insurance, food and other details that I had never thought of before. Throughout the two and a half years that I've been living here, my parents have made my life as easy as they could.
They didn't like the idea of me moving off campus, but they let me do it when I said I had a job that would help pay for some of the new expenses.
But because I am an international student, I cannot work off campus or for more than 20 hours per week. As much as I want to help my parents, it's almost impossible to be completely economically independent.
My economic relationship with my parents became strained after the Brazilian economic crisis in January because the value of the real dropped significantly compared to the U.S. dollar.
Since then, my parents send e-mails telling me to be

reasonable with my checks and credit card. "The real is $1.80," my mom wrote me last time about the poor currency exchange rate. Among the Brazilian community someone always tells the group how much the real is worth that day. We cannot escape this reality.
This nightmare reminded me of 1992, when, at 16 years old, I decided to be an exchange student in the United States. At that time, Brazil still had a high inflation rate. I knew the bills and coins that I had brought with me to the United States by mistake wouldn't be worth anything once I got back home a year later.
So, instead of buying farewell gifts to all my friends. I gave them $200 and $500 in Brazilian
bills. They really appreciated it and were really surprised that I was giving "that much" to them. I tried to explain that those bills weren't worth a lot anymore, but some of them did not quite understand the concept of how my money could devalue so fast.
I haven't heard any Brazilians saying that they need to go back home because of the crisis. Most of us found jobs and are trying to help our parents as much as possible. However, after 10 months of economic crisis, things are ugly in Brazil. I recently read an article that said that the country wouldn't be able to meet the requirements made by the International Monetary Fund.
I was pretty desperate in the beginning, but then I realized that this would be a good lesson for me. I've never had control of my finances, because all my credit card bills went directly to Brazil. This budget has forced me to learn how to better manage my accounts.
In response to this 10-month crisis, my parents decided to set a budget for me. To pay for school, I've used up all the money that I earned from my summer internship, and I'm currently working two jobs.
I'm thankful to my parents and all my friends who have supported me. And I am looking forward to going back home and using all the good things I have learned here to help improve the social conditions in my country.
But it is scary to know that journalists, in the beginning of their careers in Brazil, don't earn more than $500 per month. And it's scarier to know that with the high rate of unemployment, I may not even find a decent job through which to apply all the knowledge I have accumulated in my KU years. All these economic problems taught me not to take anything for granted, to learn as much as I can to be able to find a good job, and definitely it helped me to take a step forward to achieve my economic independence.

Confederate flag OK
I am writing to respond to the editorial concerning the Confederate battle flag flying over the state capital of South Carolina. The "southern cross" as it is affectionately referred to, only symbolizes a history of racial hate because ignorant fools like yourselves continue to see it this way.
Have you ever taken an unbiased history class? The war between the states came about because of proposed changes to what this country was founded upon, our rights. In particular, states rights, as the northern states, having congressional control, repeatedly tried to control tariffs and taxes that were
being implemented in the South. Thus most of the South felt that their rights were being compromised.
When South Carolina and the
Slavery was not the issue, no matter how many movies you've seen glorifying the abolitionist cause. I completely agree that the "peculiar institution" was a barbaric way of life, yet the vast majority of southerners owned no slaves. Slavery was one small part of a larger problem, yet the northern abolitionists created a society that only saw the southern states as something straight from hell. It was this attitude that caused the conflicts between our states to escalate, eventually turning 'brother against brother.'
I will be the first to admit, that the flag has been, and is currently used, by some elements of society that are seen as completely immoral if not damnable. Yet that is their right, as implied in our Constitution.
few other states that still fly the Confederate Battle Flag over their public buildings, it's a symbol, not of hate, but of heritage. It stands for states' rights, and it remembers those who died for those rights — very much like the American flag, as when it flies its honoring our dead.

'Smokey Joe's Cafe' comes to campus
By Warisa Chulindra Special to the Kansen
Special to the Kansan
"Jailhouse Rock," "Hound Dog" and "Stand by Me" are some of the well-known songs performed in the musical revue "Spoke Joe's Cafe."
The national tour of "Smokey Joe's Cafe" will perform at 8 tonight at the Lied Center.
The production marks the beginning of the 1999-2000 KU School of Fine Arts Lied Center Broadway and Beyond Series, which brings national and international programs to the Lied Center.
"Smokey Joe's Cafe" is set during the post-war 1950s in the United States. It features more than 40 songs from the 1950s and 1960s.
"We knew this was a wonderful show and would particularly appeal to not only our university audience, but our entire audience interested in Broadway," said Karen Lane Christilles, director of public relations for the Lied Center.
Songwriters Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller have received several awards for their music. The duo was inducted into the Songwriters' Hall of Fame in 1985 and the Rock
The Broadway production won the 1996 Grammy Award for Best Musical and was nominated for seven 1995 Tony awards.
"Smokey Joe's Cafe" is a part of the Lied Center's Cultural Countdown 1999-2000; African-American Influences Project. The project is a part of the Lied Center's three-year Millennium Project, which examines the influences of ethnic groups on the arts. This is the second year of the project.

Committee to evaluate University's goals
By Nathan Willis
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Ten years ago, the University of Kansas set 11 broad goals for itself in general education. The time has come to see if those goals have aged well.
A committee created by the provost's office is starting to examine the goals set in Fall 1989 regarding what students should get out of their basic University education. At issue is whether the goals are still the right ones for the University.
"After 10 years, it's time to look at our goals," said Diana Carlin, interim assistant provost. "Are they suitable for a technological society? Are they clear enough?"
Included in the options are to get rid of the current goals and form new ones, revise the current goals, delete specific goals, add new ones or do any combination of those options, Carlin said. They will turn in a final report on their suggestions for changes April 27.
However, Barbara Schowen, member of the General Education Goals committee, said although it was too early to predict specific changes, not all of the possibilities were equally likely.
She said in the their first meeting Oct. 7, few of the 16-member committee seemed supportive of killing the current standards and starting again. Instead, the committee is likely to make smaller revisions and additions, she said.
"I think we may think about some additions," said Schowan, who is also director of the honors program and a professor of chemistry. "The one addition I know that I had in mind and some others had in mind is about science. There's no mention of the word science in any of the goals right now."
Kori Green, Great Bend senior, said the point of the goals was to impact students' educations.
"Hopefully, you make it out of the University having achieved those goals," Green said. "That's the whole point of them."
KU'S GENERAL EDUCATION GOALS

- Increase knowledge of history, mores and languages of other cultures

Schowen said the goals gave the University a vision.
The committee will meet Monday. The provost's office also created a second committee. This committee will study the means by which the goals are evaluated and decide whether these means are adequate.

Left: Beth Polston performs a tap dance routine to an upbeat song for her talent portion of the contest.
In the morning, before I left, I found a note Ashly had left on the refrigerator: "Good luck tomorrow. And don't forget your sense of humor."
Right: Jamie Haughton displays her talent in a ballet routine that she choreographed.
By that afternoon, I was looking around the room at Burlington High School, sizing up the competition.
The high school girls, Jamie Haughton, Shenandoah Rain and Angela Busy, were definitely pretty, but they didn't seem ready for Miss America. Kristina Janzen had been in more than 75孕妇, but she was sick and

Barbara Baker was cookie-cutter cute.
And then there was Beth Polston.
Beth was now.
Beth was gorgeous, and she knew it. She
was confident — she had won this pageant two years ago. She'd been to Miss Kansas twice. She stood up, smiled a toothy smile and offered to
show all the newcomers the ropes. I knew it immediately — Beth was going to win.
I was famished by lunch time, having eaten only half a doughnut for breakfast. After we had rehearsed the entire program, Shenandoah told me we were getting a party sub from Subway for lunch. I was ecstatic. I fantasized a four-foot cold-cut combo. But I was sorely disappointed.
Shenandoah was wrong. Lunch was catered by an area grocery store. We each received one turkey sandwich about
two inches wide and four inches across. Minute sandwiches, carrot sticks and a Diet Coke. Hardly a hearty meal.
I managed to finagle some nacho cheese Doritos from a stagehand. The other contestants looked at me as If I were eating bugs.
ward and addressed the rest of the contestants:
"Not to be a pig, but can I have another sandwich?"
I wanted another one too, but I didn't ask. No one did. And this would be the most food we'd have all day: Dinner was breadsticks and one trip through the Pizza Hut salad bar. I began to wonder if starvation was a pageant thing.
my sympathy for the hungry Angelae ended abruptly when I asked her to help me carry in some stuff from my car. "I'm sorry," she cooed condescendingly. "I have to go get my hair
curled." It would have taken the two of us one trip. By myself, it took three. And we had two hours to get ready.
I shared a dressing room with Shenandoah, Jamie and Barbara. It was the novice room, the "practice" dressing room, kind of like the kids' table at Thanksgiving.

ended up sneaking into the teachers' lounge, where I tried to call my Burlington-bound contingent of friends. I couldn't figure out how to tap into long distance, so I decided to go back and watch.
Jamie was rustling through her makeup bag. "Do anyone have any lip liner?"
Barbara handed her four lip liners. "Don't worry about it," she said, "it's a pageant thing. We share."

At 1:30 p.m., the interviews began. Although
they accounted for 30 percent of our score, I wasn't nervous. I'm a reporter. I interview people every day. I've interviewed district attorneys, accused rapists and
the girlfriends of sex offenders. A panel of beauty pageant judges was no threat.
And while I was a little antsy about the swimsuit and talent cometi-
tions (I still didn't have that monologue down), talking to people is my forte. I may not have been the buffet or the best tap dancer, but I was pretty sure I was the brightest. Jamie's interview was right before
mine. When she came out, she was smiling. "Oh, you'll do fine," she said. "My hardest question was, 'If you had a day without rules, what would you do?' "
How easy.I thought I was set.
I went inside and stood on the podium in front of the five judges. The first few questions were simple. I had chosen to promote voting for my
platform issue because I had worked for a voter-education group for two summers. I had the good down.
The questions got harder, though: "What do you look for in a presidential candidate?"
"What changes would you implement in American foreign policy?"
what is the biggest problem at KU?"
"What do you think of the mower?
Are you think of the most WISH America controversy?"
"I think Miss America should be a role model." I said.
This one startled me. I knew what they wanted to hear, and I knew what I believed. I took a deep breath — and didn't sell out.
"But who are we to say that divorce or a prior pregnancy disqualifies someone from being a role model? Perhaps we need to re-evaluate our standards, or focus on accomplishments and intelligence."
My roommate Ashly would have been proud.
The next question was even more taxing: "Katie, what do you know for sure?"
The hippie-Zen question flabbergasted me. I babbled something about how human beings were awesome and complicated creatures — I don't even remember what I said.
that I had choked in the one arena where I held the upper hand. Most of all, I was jealous of the day without rules question. I could have shown that inane hypothetical no mercy.
Back in the dressing room, as I changed into my comfortable red sweater and jeans, I was alone with Jamie. She and I were the only rookies. Everyone else had at least some pageant experience.
"Katie, what do you think of all this?" she asked.
"I'm not really sure." I told her.
"I heard them talking about me," she said, gesturing to the wall that separated us from the other dressing room. "And it wasn't good."
Jamie is a senior at Burlington High School, a hometown girl.
I instantly wondered what was being said about me. If they disrespected cheerleader, balerina Jamie, I was scared to hear how they'd berate me.
"I've grown up watching this pageant," she said. "I've seen Beth and Kristina in it before. Kristina's been in this three times already."
"Do you want to know something?" She

lowered her voice and told me one of the contestants had liposuction.
So ... maybe the golden girls got a little help.
So... maybe the gibberish is good.
I sat in our dressing room, close to the wall we shared with the "professional" dressing room. I could hear conversations.
"Wow, we are going to be in my daddy's pageant?" I heard Beth ask.
Beth's father — the chairman of the Diamond Miss pageant circuit? It all made sense now. Beth had been bred to be a beauty queen.
I told Jamie about Beth's daddy. She showed me a Ford Explorer in the parking lot. On the side rear window, a logo had been imprinted: "Angelae's Academy of Performance Excellency
- Marilyn Busy, director." Angelae and her mother owned and operated a charm school.
Suddenly I was overwhelmed with all the professionalism. Beth's dad: the pageant lord, Angelaea's own charm school, Kristina and her 75 pageants. I felt intimidated, as if I was observing some secret society with its own hierarchy — its own nobility. It was a caste system. Beth and Angelaea had been part of this world since birth. I had been part of this world for six hours.
Iasked Jamie how she felt.
"I feel like an outsider," she said.
Back inside, Beth and Kristina said they had known each other since childhood. "You're in all these pageants, and you make all these good friends that you see all the time." Kristina said. "It's a pageant thing."

t was 6 p.m. One hour until the pageant. I re-set my hair and re-did my makeup. I had 54 minutes. I walked out into the lobby with the intent of learning the monologue. But I ran into my mom, and we sneaked off to talk.
She gave me a rose and a card: "To Katie, who personifies all that is good and true, lovely and beautiful." I cried with gratitude and relief. She wasn't psycho pageant mom after all. With this little confidence boost, I returned to the dressing room to perfect the monologue.
At 6:50 p.m., I was freaking out. I didn't know my monologue. My hair was ugly, I had a protruding pimple, and more than a dozen of my colleagues were going to see me in a bikini. With a spotlight.
But what was infinitely worse, the unthinkable had happened. All this had started to matter.
In our interview suits, the seven of us filed onstage for the introductions. I could not hear the loud, obnoxious cheering I had expected from my hooligan friends. They must be late, I figured. My ego

I turned around to see Barbara duct-taping her breasts, making a U-shaped tape shelf to create some formidable cleavage. Jamie was spraying adhesive to the rear

shoes so, too. "I'm aiming for the "full pageant experience," I glued, too. I refused to tape, however. It just looked too painful.
Walking across that stage in a bikini is probably the gutsiest, most difficult thing I have ever done. I walked fast, but I made eye contact, and — with the aid of Vaseline on my teeth — I kept a smile on my face.
I needed no greeting notecards. My friend said:

not a problem. When the master of ceremonies called me onstage for the talent competition, he had to pause until the cheering died down.
"Go team," he said, laughing at my tardy supporters. Finally. It was just the boost I needed. With a grin on my face, I launched into my "A Midsummer Night's Dream" monologue. I don't know how I acted it, but I didn't mess up one word.

This was the one area I thought I owned. At just 15 percent of the composite score, it couldn't win it for me. But at least I could show the audience and the judges. It was the smartest. And
I walked onstage to the hoots and whistles of my friends. I walked over to the master of ceremonies, an affable gym teacher from Burlington High.
"Katie," he said, "you are currently a reporter for the University Daily Kansas."
I cannot correct him, but I could hear snickers from the newsroom delegation. Possible questions ran through my head: Ask me why I wanted to be a reporter, maybe what the

What a random and impossible question. My jaw dropped. I blanked out — most newspapers have geographically based names. You don't just make them up.
"What's it about?" I blurted.

This befuddled the master of ceremonies, who had been just reading off note cards.
"Ibh." he stammered. "sports."
Duh. So much for being the smartest
OK, pick the one aspect of journalism of which I am completely ignorant. "Well ... I guess Sports Illustrated is already taken." I said, trying to stop my voice from shaking, "I would call it Sports News or Sports Gazette, something that would appeal to a large group of people."
I am so much for being the smartest. I rushed through my second question, an inquiry about voting stuff, and hurried off-stage. I had to admit defeat. More disturbing. I had to admit to giving a damn.
We all waited backstage for our cue to return onstage for the award announcements. I kept waiting for someone to yell "gull hug!" or compliment everyone or in some way institute some sense of camaraderie. It never happened.

We were seven strangers, who bonded over Pizza Hut salad for a day, sharing liner but little else. We filed onto stage for the coronation.

"So how did you do?" Ashly asked.
"Well, I didn't win," I said, "but I got a cool trophy." I held up the eight-inch trophy that every contestant received.
"Sweet," she said. "Let's put it on top of the TV." My trophy still stands atop our Sony. One great conversation piece and a bit of shameless self-promotion.

Fungus among us
Mushroom aficionados scour forests for trophies
By Jim O'Mally
Special to the Kansan
Some jack-o'-lanterns are carved by children and found on front porches. Others grow at the base of trees and stumps Lawrence.
John Thornburg, president of the Kaw Valley Mycological Society, said that fall was the best time to find natural jack o' laterns, a type of bioluminescent mushroom. Thornburg and the other members of the society spend much of their free time hunting for jack-o'lanters and other types of fungi.
The thrill of the hunt
Thornburg said he first became interested in mushrooms as a boy. He did a lot of hiking and camping, and had read about the elusive morel mushroom. He got hooked when, with a friend's help, he found some morels. He said he went 10 years after that without finding any. That's when he joined the society.
Identifying mushrooms is one of the main goals of the Kaw Valley Mycological Society's monthly mushroom-hunting forays, held from April through October. Sherry Kay, secretary of the society, said there were more than 1,000 varieties of macrofungi in Kansas and that only 800 of them have been named.
"People hunt mushrooms for the same reasons they go bird-watching," said Ron Meyers, who edits the society's newsletter. "But mushrooms behave better — they stay still. Birds have a tendency to fly away."
Thornburg said that every monthly foray added to the inventory of the identified species of mushrooms in Kansas.
"Over the years we have compiled the most substantial checklist of fungi in the state of Kansas — over 700 species," he said.
Hiddon dolicacie
Morels, the species that drew Thornburg into mushroom hunting.
are especially sought-after because they are delicious, distinctive and easy to identify, Thornbush said. He said that although they were hard to find, mushroom hunters often found many at a time.
Tom Eblen, general manager of the University Daily Kansan and an experienced forager, said that morels had a delicious flavor, so unique that any comparison to other foods misses the mark.
"They taste like the breast of roast suckling unicorn," Eblen said jokingly.
He said the more was the most elusive wild food to find.
"The window for finding them is about two weeks in the spring, usually the last two weeks of April. They need just the right combination of water and warmth." Eblen said.
mushroom fans tend to jealously guard their morels, newsletter editor Meyers said. He said he once took another society member out to a group of morels he had found, but only after telling her in jest that he'd have to blindfold her or shoot her afterwards.
Positive identification of mushrooms is important because some varieties are toxic, Thornburg said.
"There are a couple of deadly mushrooms hereabouts—a couple of species of the genus Amanita, called Destroying Angel," Thornburg said. "They are pure white and relatively easy to identify correctly. The first thing you want to learn is these varieties in order to avoid them."
Accuracy counts
Thornburg said that he didn't know of any cases of serious mushroom poisoning, but that a couple of people recently had become sick after eating Chlorophyllum molybdites, a common lawn mushroom in Lawrence.
"It is a strikingly large mushroom that is liable to be as large as a dinner plate. They look so delicious that people eat them," Thornburg said. "It isn't deadly, but will make you sick. The worst symptom you develop is
FUNGI FACTS
Some of the smallest fungi, microfungi, inhabit the guts of insects and arthropods in symbiotic relationships
■ The largest fungi, "humongous fungus," is one of the world's largest organisms. The growth of Armillaria bulbosa mushrooms weighs 100 tons and covers 30 acres in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Testing showed the growth was one big clone and therefore, one organism.
- Mushrooms are not complete organisms. They are the fruiting bodies of the fungus that grow when the organism is ready to reproduce by making spores.

regret."
Mushroom hunters call five common edible species that can be identified with a high degree of confidence the "foolproof five," Thornburg said.
The five species are morels, oyster mushrooms, puffballs, yellow, trumpet-shaped chanterelles and shaggy ggme.
A diverse society
Membership in the Kaw Valley Mycological Society includes retired KU ornithologist Richard Johnston, who studies birds, and Sherry Kay's husband, Richard Kay, a retired KU professor emeritus of medieval history and an expert on Dante.
Kay is also an expert on mushrooms. He has compiled A Checklist of Kansas Mushrooms and is coauthor of A Guide to Kansas Mushrooms with Bruce Horn and Dean Abel.
The society welcomes new members, regardless of their level of knowledge about mushrooms, Meyers said.
"Mushroom people are some of the friendliest people I've met anywhere," he said. "Mushroom people are fun."

Volleyball win would be a record
Bv Shawn Hutchinson
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas volleyball team will begin the second half of the Big 12 Conference season at 7 tonight against Missouri at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
Family Funny.
The Jayhawks are 14-7 overall and finished the first half of the Big 12 season 5-5. Tonight the Jayhawks hope to improve their record against a Missouri squad that they beat 3-2 on Sept. 25 in Columbia, Mo.
"We didn't play particularly well over there, and they had a chance to put us away and didn't," said Kansas coach Ray Bechard. "So they'd obviously like to return the favor over here.
"We've played the first half, and everybody wants to start the second half of the conference on a positive note," he said.
5 on a positive note. Kansas is coming off a 3-0 thrashing of Iowa State on Saturday night at the Horejsi Center, which snapped a three-match losing streak.
With a win tonight, the Jayhawks would set a team record for most Big 12 wins in school history. In the Big 12's inaugural season in 1996, Kansas went 4-16 in conference play, followed by a 2-18 1997 season and a 5-1 record last year.
"We've got goals to finish in the upper-middle half of the conference, and we know that it's going to take more than six [wins]." Bechard said. "But I guess if you make a comparison [to last year], that means progress."
In terms of progress, the Tigers are going in the wrong direction. Missouri is coming off three-tight losses, which has dropped its record to 8-13 overall and 2-8 in the Big 12.
The Tigers are led by sophomore outside hitter Naaron Branson, who has 218 kills on the year. Junior setter Heather Gerber has 741 assists at the season's midway point.
VOLLEYBALL
"We definitely expect"
"We definitely expect them to be competitive," said Kansas senior middle blocker Amanda Reves. "But we believe that we have stepped up our game and will be able to control the match on our side." Volleyball notes:
Sophomore setter Molly LaMere's 32 assists against Iowa State pushed her past
assists against Iowa State pushed her past the 1,000 career assist mark. LaMere now has 1,099 assists, seventh in Kansas history.
Reves, who belted 10 kills against Iowa State, now has 1,107 kills for her career, leaving her just 16 kills shy of passing former Jayhawk Cyndee Kanabel for second place. Kanabel played from 1990 to 1993. Judy Desch, who played for Kansas from 1984 to 1987, ranks first in school history with 1,146 kills.
Senior outside hitter Mary Beth Albrecht is following close behind Reves on the kills chart. Albrecht has 1,064 kills and needs 18 more for fourth place in the history books.

A wide-eyed camper at one of Marian Washington's summer basketball camps was lost.
It was June 1983, and she had just arrived with her
dad and already had
lost him in the crowd. Her excitement about learning basketball from Washington for a week quickly was interrupted by the fear of being in a strange place without a familiar face.
In substitution of a familiar one, she found a friendly face and asked for directions.
The tall, smiling woman talked with 8-year-old Amanda for a few minutes, calming her and showing her where the check-in line started.
By this time, Amanda's father spotted her, waited, and greeted his then-secure daughter.

"Honey, that was Lynette
"You know who that was?"
"No, but she said we need to go over there to get my room key," Amanda said.
The girl's heart started racing as she thought about all the times she had watched Woodard dominate Kansas games at Allen Fieldhouse from 1978-81, how she did things no woman had ever done on the basketball court, and to this day, still haven't done. She remembered the spin moves, the behind-the-back passes, the fancy dribbling.
Amanda turned to her dad and said, "She sure didn't act like Lynette Woodard."
Tell the story to Woodard and she plays it off with an "aw-shucks" grin.
"I like to help people," she said. "Probably she was just wandering around, looking lost and needed some help that day. It's a joy for me, helping people, especially like that at a camp. That could have been her first time away from Mom and Dad."
Woodard is who some consider the greatest female basketball player. Unassuming, approachable and down to earth, with a personality that contradicts her fame.
"That's the best thing about her," said Washington, who now sees

Transfer, volleyball player offered walk-on spots

Every season, the Kansas women's basketball team offers students an opportunity to try out for the team and experience life as a student-athlete.
Robin Shield, a two-year standout on the Haskell Indian Nations University basketball team, made Kansas' team Monday after trying out last week, and Amanda Reves, a starting middle blocker for the Kansas volleyball team, will consider playing basketball for the Jayhawks after volleyball season ends.

"From what I have seen, her shooting ability is her strength," Washington said. "I think she will gain a lot from our conditioning program, and she will have a chance to have an experience that is rare for most people in her situation. This will be a very positive experience for her, and, hopefully, give her some great memories."

Washington said she was excited about the prospect of working with Reves.

cleanly.
They dodged the beers because, well, sorry to inform you of this, but beers aren't good for you. If the bar we're in gets too smoky, we're going to have to cut out because the smoke will mess up their running. They won't order anything off the menu because, get this--no calories after 9 p.m.
Andy says he has his eating schedule down to the minute.
"So how many miles did you guys run today?" I ask while eating my french fries covered in cheese sauce. I feel just a little unhealthy hanging out with these two.
Andy looks at me and with a straight face answers, "Eight miles today. We're tapering down."

cranky. Andy says. I've known people who worry about their weight, but Andy puts them all to shame. Andy and Anthony need to maintain their running weight to stay competitive. After last season, Andy picked up 18 pounds in nine days. Of course, he lost 15 in a week — the week practice started back up.
On average, they run 50 to 60 miles a week. This season has been a lighter mileage workload, they tell me. Last year, their teammate Brian Jensen was running 120 miles a week.
Between the two of them, they can go through 20 gallons of water in a week. That equals four of those giant water containers.
Don't go to their place expecting for either to offer you a can of pop. Andy hasn't drank a carbonated beverage during the season since he was in the seventh grade.
"When you drink as much water as we do, it's well worth the money," says Anthony.
But cross country runners aren't all running and no play. They get in their fun during the two weeks in between cross country and track season. The two weeks festivities end with a runner's party where they all get drunk enough to go to Lawrence High School's track and race around wearing only their running shoes. They're not worried about getting in trouble.
What you will find is a water cooler at their apartment — like the one in the office that bubbles when you fill up your cone-shaped cup. These guys are on a first-nahe basis with the guy who delivers Lindyspring water in Lawrence. They drop $40 a month to have the water unit in their place.

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Todav is a 6.
You're still concerned about finances, but that's OK. You're coming up with some good ideas. Continue to gather input from those who have succeeded in what you're trying to accomplish. Admit when you don't know and ask for advice.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
Talking about money could cause tension, especially if you think the other person spent too much. The objective is not to get the other person upset; it's to put in a system that works. So, don't start off with an attack. Offer a solution, and maybe a reward, instead.
Gemini: Todav is a 5.
You'll have to pay attention to what you say for the next several weeks. That's important. Write it down. Get into the habit of asking questions instead of dispensing information. It's good to know how to do this. Also, practice lis tening.
Cancer: Today is a 6.
You're under a bit of pressure. You have to learn how to do something new, and that's uncomfortable. The deadline is coming up, so study. Once you find the answer, you'll be proud of yourself. Do the homework!
Leo: Today is a 4.
There's a bit of a problem today. You're trying to be in two places at once. You may have to put off the group activity until later. If it comes down to one or the other, a personal matter takes precedence. Besides, staying home will save you money.
Virgo: Today is a 6.
You could be in over your head. Did you say you'd do more than you can? Be slow to accept new assignments. If you make any new promises today, let the person know it might be a while before you can follow through on them. Your plate's too full already!
Libra: Today is a 6.
Getting your meaning across should be easy. Some topics should be kept confidential, however. People are interested, but you shouldn't discuss your money with anybody except the people who owe it to you. Mum's the word.
Sagittarius: Today is a 4.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Tend to practical matters. Buy, sell, shop and move your investments around. There could be an unexpected occurrence at home, possibly due to your own manipulations. You prefer to be the harbinger of all surprises, but take care. That may not be the case.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
You're busy; that's for sure. The problem is that your friends want you to play. The pull is strong, maybe almost irresistible. This is unusual for you. You may not be able to afford to take the whole day off, however. Get the most important stuff done.
Aquarius: Today is a 5.
You like to tell the truth even if it's to your disadvantage. Watch out for a tendency to do that now. Keeping your mouth shut is a better idea. Gather information but don't dispense it yet. See what develops next.
C
The earlier you play, the better. Most of the day, you'll be too busy. If you get a good offer early, take it! Don't even schedule a date for tonight. You'd just have to postpone it anyway.
Pisces: Today is a 5.
女
Things are getting stirred up, which makes you a bit uncomfortable. Your intuition may not be working well, either. Wait and ask questions. No need to make your move until the picture comes in more clearly.

Panel may give Tyson tough punishment
BOXING
RENO, Nev. — A member of the Nevada Athletic Commission wants the panel to take a tough stand and fine Mike Tyson for his punch after the bell Saturday night.
The former heavyweight champion and his advisers also should get a strong letter from the commission condemning Tyson's actions against Orlin Norris, commissioner Luther Mack said Monday.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Norris went down from the late blow after the first round, hurt his knee and couldn't continue. The fight was declared a no contest, and Tyson's $8.7 million purse is being withheld upon a commission hearing Friday.
School president Mark Yudof thinks the NCAA will impose more sanctions after it receives the university's final report on the investigation in mid-November.

Pain sidelines Axtell during practices
B Matt Tait
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Kansas forward Luke Axtell, who broke a bone in his nonshooting hand Saturday at practice, has had the injury reexamined and is on track with the originally diagnosed recovery time of two weeks.
Axtell, who injured the hand during a team drill, said that the injury was just one of those things and that he was not going to let it get him down.
"I'm doing all right." Axtell said with his hand slightly bandaged. "It was just a freak accident, there's nothing I can really do about it."
And do nothing he has. Axtell
said that the pain had been so severe that in practice all he
able to do was watch.
Despite not being able to run, shoot or play,
Axtell said that he had be e n watching intently while trying to pick up on what K ans s
P
Axell: is out for two weeks with a broken bone in his hand
coach Roy Williams was teaching.
Axtell's injury occurred when the team was practicing a play. The play is designed, so that two of the guards on the floor cross on the baseline and fade to each wing. As Axtell came across the middle, he and the other guard, Marlon London, got tangled up, and Axtell's hand got pinched between their chests.
"It's a lot harder to pick up when you're not out there doing it," he said.
"We were just running a play," Axtell said. "There wasn't even any defense out there. Sometimes it's just something that is painful for a while and then goes away, but when I got to the x-ray room, I knew it was broken."
Axtell immediately realized
"I thought to myself, what the heck," Axtell said. "First I had to sit out a year last year and now maybe more. I began wondering if I was ever going to play for this school."
the injury's potential.
Williams also said that Axell's practice capabilities had been limited to standing.
Williams said that the time would come for Axtell to play, but for now both were just waiting until the pain went away, and he could start to move his hand.
"Today, he shot some one-handed shots, but we just have to wait until he stops having pain," Williams said. "Of all the players on our team, he's the one who could least afford to
have this happen, because now he's got to do so much conditioning to catch up."
Axtell doesn't think he'll be too far behind.
Axtell will begin running again on Thursday. He said that the pain had gotten less and less severe each day. On Monday he could barely shake it, but yesterday he said he thought it was doing a lot better.
"I shouldn't be too far behind, he said. "There's no telling. You use your hands for so much in basketball — I just hope I don't reinjure it."
Axtell will play in Kansas' preseason games, but will be ready to play when the regular season opens at home against Fairfield on Nov. 19.

Three Big 12 rivals ranked
Wildcats, 'Huskers, Aggies shoot for bid at bowl games
by Michael Rigg
sports@kanson.com
Kansan sportswriter
According to the first Bowl Championship Series rankings of the season, three Big 12 Conference teams officially can be considered among the nation's elite.
Kansas State, Nebraska and Texas are all sitting among the top teams in the nation.
The poll, which was announced late Monday night, has the Wildcats at No. 5 in the rankings, the Cornhuskers checking in at No. 7., and Texas ranked No. 10. The rankings take such factors as overall record, where the respective teams stand in both the Associated Press and Coaches' poll, and strength of schedule to determine the nation's top teams by using a computer formula.
The top two teams in the rankings will play for the national championship in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans on Jan. 4.
If the winner of the Big 12 does not play in the Sugar Bowl, that team will travel to Tempe, Ariz., to play in the Fiesta Bowl.
Oklahoma
Oklahoma
Coming into last Saturday's game against then No. 10 Texas A&M, many Sooner fans wanted Oklahoma to put up a strong showing against the Aggies. Some even thought the unranked Sooners could pull off an upset.
But that's exactly what the Sooners did to Texas A&M in handing the Aggies their worst loss since 1901. Oklahoma completely dominated the Aggies 51-6, out-gaining them by 322 yards and turning the contest into an offensive shootout between Sooner quarterback Josh Heupel and Texas A&M gunslinger Randy McCown. Aggie coach R.C. Slocum, who stated in the week prior to the game that
his team could not match up with the offensive forces of the Sooners, was not happy following the loss. "It really wasn't a shootout
we got shot, said Slocum, who was denied his 100th career victory.
"With the circumstance of playing here, them having an extra week to prepare for us, I knew that we would have to play well and really play
Q
better than we've been playing to win this game and we obviously didn't do that."
Oklahoma, which plays Colorado on Saturday, moved into No. 24 in the AP poll. Texas A&M plummeted to No. 22.
Texas
If you ask Texas coach Mack Brown, Saturday's 24-20 win against Nebraska was the first game of the rest of the Longhorns' season.
"After seven weeks,
we asked our guys to start over." Brown said.
"We are now 10 in our new season,
and the worst thing
and the worst thing we can do is start looking down the road."
Still, Brown admits how tough it will be for his team not to look past Saturday's game against Iowa State and toward the rest of Texas' schedule.
"To be as inexperienced as we are and look ahead would be a critical error." Brown said. "It is easy to do after a big win, and our team has played much better after losses than after wins this year."
The Longhorns still have to battle in-state rivals Texas Tech and Texas A&M and — if the Longhorns' cards fall right — possibly Nebraska or Kansas State in the Big 12 Championship Game in San Antonio on Dec. 4.

Three athletes honored for giving a little back
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswitter
Three Kansas student-atletes have been recognized as community champions.
Seniors Cynthia Dahle of the soccer team, Amanda Reves of the volleyball team and Risa Petty of the rowing team have excelled in the classroom and have been named Jayhawk Scholars. That accomplishment, along with community volunteer work, have helped all three become Bank of America Community Champions. Each is now a finalist for the Big 12 Community Champion of the Year award.
All three are social welfare maiors.
"This program recognizes student-athletes for an effort that many times goes unnoticed, being a good student and giving back to the community," said Pat Michaelis, Bank of America senior vice president. "Community involvement is important to us at Bank of America and we are proud to recognize these athletes who are champions on the field and in their communities."
Dahle spent last March working with Americorps in Philadelphia, volunteering in elementary schools. She also has coached youth soccer teams and volunteered at the Hilltop Child Development Center in Lawrence. She said community involvement was very important to her.
Reves spent last March helping inner-city kids in Detroit. In addition, she has worked with Lawrence and Denver Boys and Girls Clubs and many
other local community service organizations.
"I like to give back because I've been so blessed in my life and I also enjoy doing it because I can see how I've made a difference in other people's lives," Dahle said.
pretty has been a playground supervisor in Lawrence for two summers and worked for the Meals on Wheels program. She also has volunteered at the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, Adopt-A-Family and she helped with a Catholic youth organization.
"It's definitely something I wanted to be recognized for." Petty said. "It's nice to get a specialized honor for things I do outside of rowing."
Each school in the Big 12 Conference had three nominees for the Champion of the Year award, and each school will receive $3000 from Bank of America towards the schools' scholarship funds.

Penalty at regatta bumps Jayhawks from eighth place
By Shawn Linenberger

Kansas sportswriter
Kansas' second varsity-boat finished the Club Eight Division at the Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston Saturday in a big way.
River Star boat dock. (A) But Kansas was given a one-minute penalty for colliding with or failing to yield to another boat. The two bridges mark the sharpest turns of the 3.25 mile race.
Of so inexperienced, the thawed页面 to the direction of coxswain Jennifer Page, finished their race in eight place with a time of 1904.76, 44 seconds behind the race champion, Riverside Boat Club (Mass.).
Members of the second-varsity boat said their boat never collided with any boats.
"Sometimes you can get penalized if you don't yield to someone else," said assistant coach Jennifer Adams, "But at Boston it's so congested that they usually don't penalize you unless there's a collision."
The ruling plummeted the "Hawks to 38th in a field of 73 boats. The team is appealing the infraction. The
Rewing
Jayhawks will not know the actual decision for two weeks because it wasn't considered priority since the team would not have received a medal.
It's a priority to the Jayhawks, though. Teams coming within 5 percentage points of the champion boat earns an automatic bid to next year's Head of the Charles. Percentage points behind the first-place team are determined by subtracting the first-place team's time from the lesser placed team's time. The difference is divided into first-place team's time to decide how many percentage points separate the two teams.
Without the penalty, Kansas was about 4.6 percentage points behind the leader, which would have given the Jahayhaw an automatic bid next year. The automatic bid would have allowed two more boats from Kansas to be entered in the random picking of remaining boats. Teams further than five percentage points behind this year's winner will be in the lottery for next year's remaining positions.
Page doesn't care whether the judge's decision will stand.
say.
"We know that we raced well and came in eighth and that's all that matters," she said.
The Jayhawks were excited about the second-varsity's initial finish, considering Page was coxing, or navigating, her first Head of the Charles Regatta, a race that's known as a "coxswain's race" because of the numerous turns and bridges the coxswain must navigate through and under.
Page attributed her success to first-varsity coxswain Nikia Rosenberger, who showed Page a navigation and safety video about the race.
**Vice versa about the Hate** Nikia showing us the video was the most beneficial thing." Page said. "Nikia showed me how to approach turns and bridges."
During practice last Friday in Boston, Page also said Rosenberger showed her what other coxswains were doing and what their points were. Points are focal spots coxswains constantly maintain downstream to stay on the best course for upcoming turns and bridges
Kansas' next action will be this Sunday at the Head of the Iowa Regatta in Iowa City, Iowa.

Inquiry into crash of Learjet continues
The Associated Press
MINA. S.D.—Investigators returned yesterday to the site where a jet carrying golf champion Payne Stewart nose-dived into a field, taking samples of victims' remains but cautioning there likely would be no quick explanation why the plane flew pilotless for 1,400 miles across the country.
Five others also were killed.
Five other assists were needed.
A six-member National Transportation Safety Board team walked through the crash site Monday evening, hours after the Learjet crashed, and returned to the task yesterday. At one point, members of the team thought they had found the cockpit voice recorder, but they were wrong. NTSB Voice Chairman Robert Francis said.
The wreckage is fairly contained, Francis said. "It looks [like] the aircraft was pretty much vertical when it hit the ground. The ground is soft, and it went in fairly deep. It's going to be a challenge with the wreckage and sorting out what's there."
The investigation will take some time, he said. "Our concern is making sure we do it properly than making sure that we do it fast." He said
Earlier, Francis stressed that a sudden decompression of the aircraft was still just one possible theory of the cause of the accident.
investigators first were taking time to figure out how the thousands of pieces of wreckage could be removed from the site without destroying evidence.
Stewart, 42, had won 18 tournaments during his career, including two U.S. Open titles. He also was part of the team that helped the United States stage a historic comeback to beat Europe last month for the Ryder Cup.
Investigators returned today to the site where a jet carrying golf champion Rayna Stewart nose-dived into a field. The plane was heading to Dallas but flew 1,400 miles off course and crashed in Mina S.D.
Stewart and his wife had two children. Chelsea, 13, and Aaron, 10.
Jason Williams/KANSAN
Also killed were Stewart's agents, Robert Fraley and Van Ardan, and the two pilots, Michael Kling, 43, and Stephane Bellegarrige, 27.
Francis said officials thought a sixth person also died. The family of Bruce Borland, 40, one of Jack Nicklaus' golf course designers, was sure he was on board, said Scott Tolley, a representative for Nicklaus' Golden Bear International Inc. Borland's wife, Kate, she contacted the private jet terminal Monday and spoke to an employee who confirmed her husband intended to get on the
plane.
Fighter jets sent after the Leariet followed it for much of its flight but were unable to help.
Stewart's Australian-born wife, Tracey, tried to reach her husband on his cellular phone while she followed the drama on television, her brother said.
one was trying to ring him on his mobile and couldn't raise him," her brother Mike Ferguson told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. "It's just really bad for my sister to be watching it on CNN, knowing that it was her husband on board."
Stewart, with his traditional
knickers and tam-o'-shanter hat, was one of the most recognizable players in golf. Among his tournament wins were three major championships. In June, he won his second U.S. Open, prevailing against Phil Mickelson with a 15-foot putt on the final hole.
"This is a tremendous loss for the entire golfing community and all of sports," said Tim Finchem, commissioner of the Professional Golf Association Tour. "He will always be remembered as a very special competitor and one who contributed enormously to the positive image of professional golf."
Slaying defendant using 'homosexual panic' defense
The Associated Press
LARAMIE, Wyo.—The accused ringleader in the beating death of college student Matthew Shepard has adopted a "gay panic" defense, a somewhat risky strategy that has had little success in recent years.
in opening statements on Monday, Aaron McKinney's lawyer argued that McKinney snapped after a sexual advance from Shepard triggered memories of a homosexual assault by a childhood bully.
The defense is hoping to save McKinney's life by convincing the jury that he is guilty of manslaughter instead of murder.
Last October, Shepard was lashed to a wooden fence in a remote area, robbed of $20 and pistol-whipped into a coma. He died five days later.
Prosecutors said McKinney led the charge. His co-defendant, Russell Henderson, pleaded guilty to murder and kidnapping in April and is serving two life sentences. Henderson is expected to testify.
During testimony yesterday, Coroner Patrick Allen said Shepard's skull was fractured a half-dozen times, and some of the blows might have been inflicted with the butt of a .357 revolver.
"Homosexual panic" is built on the theory that a person with latent homosexual tendencies will have an uncontrollable, violent reaction when propositioned by a homosexual.
Ralph Slovenko, professor of law and psychiatry at Michigan's Wayne State University, said challenging a person's sexuality could be more disruptive than religious or racial insults.
Levin said the strategy had been meeting with less success in recent years because Americans
had become more tolerant of homosexuals.
I reel we've turned a very big corner in that nearly everyone agrees that violence against them is completely wrong," he said. "I don't think you had the same type of atmosphere 20 or 30 years ago."
The defense has been used in several trials, with limited success.
In Alabama, Steven Eric Mullins, 24, used the defense but was convicted of capital murder in the Feb. 19 slaying of Billy Jack Gaither, who was beaten with an ax handle and his body burned atop kerosene-soaked tires.
In Pontiac, Mich., Jonathan Schmitz used the defense after he fatally shot a gay acquaintance who revealed a crush on him during a taping of The Jenny Jones Show. He was sentenced in September to 25 years to 50 years in prison.

Russian fighters storm Grozny; Chechen capital fearful, hopeless
The Associated Press
GROZNY, Russia— Exploding artillery shells rattled windows and spread fear in the Chechen capital yesterday as the heaviest fighting in weeks brought Russian tanks and soldiers near the city limits.
Chechen fighters battled the Russians within two miles of Grozny's northern edge, while more fighting raged to the east of the city. There were unconfirmed reports that elite Russian reconnaissance troops had entered Grozny.
Russian jets and artillery elsewhere bombed at least seven towns and settlements across Chechnya yesterday, officers on
both sides said.
As many as 200 Russian tanks and self-propelled artillery pieces led the fiercest assaults in the Terek Ridge area, the strategic heights northwest of Grozny's airport, said Gen. Mumadi Sayidayev, a top Chechen military official.
The Chechens claimed they knocked out several tanks and inflicted heavy losses on a Russian column advancing from the southeast, but no independent confirmation was available.
Residents of the battered Chechen capital were gripped with fear and hopelessness ahead of the region's harsh winter season.
"Many of those who have stayed in Grozny feel doomed," said resident Asya Lalayeva, complaining that officials in both the Russian and Chechen governments "see them as raw material."
Russian officials gave mixed signals about whether they planned to storm Grozny in their campaign to wipe out Islamic militants based in Chechnya. After early successes, the Russian military now appears to be trying to occupy all of the republic and end its de facto independence.
Casualties in the latest fighting are unknown. The Russians say they have lost about 200 soldiers and killed 2,000 militants overall, while the Chechens claim to have lost far fewer fighters and killed many Russians.
Indian troops clash with Pakistan
The Associated Press
SRINAGAR, India—India said yesterday it had repelled a border attack by Pakistani army troops, in the most serious clash since a military coup in Pakistan two weeks ago.
Four Pakistani soldiers were killed Monday when a squad tried to seize two posts in the mountainous Uri sector of the disputed Kashmir territory, according to an army statement from Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian Kashmir.
The statement did not mention Indian casualties. The attempt was preceded by heavy artillery and small arms exchanges, it said.
News agencies reported one civil
news killed and three injured
Monday. Daylong shelling reportedly caused damage in three villages.
Pakistani military representative Col. Salaf Raza refused to comment on the reports.
Although the incident was not unusual in an area where both sides claim ownership, it was the most serious fighting reported since Pakistan's army chief, Gen. Pervaiz Musharraf, ousted the elected government in a coup Oct. 12.
On Sunday, Pakistani artillery fire injured three people in the same sector. Indian military officials said.
Musharraf, in his only policy address since the takeover, said he was withdrawing troops from the border — but not from the cease-fire
line in Kashmir — as a gesture to India's newly elected government
At the same time, he said Pakistan would continue its diplomatic and moral support for Kashmiri militant groups fighting Indian authorities.
In Saudi Arabia today, Musharraf met with Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah, seeking political support and financial assistance for his military government.
Saudi Arabia, a traditional ally of Pakistan, was one of the first countries to recognize Musharraf's government.
Musharraf left the kingdom late yesterday for the United Arab Emirates, where he will hold talks with President Sheik Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan.

kansas millennium athletes
Woodard still at top of Kansas record books
continued from page 1B
Woodard every day. Washington hired Woodard as an assistant coach before this season.
"She is one of the most honest, most pure people you'll ever meet," Washington said. "Everyone who meets Lynette loves Lynette. She will lift your spirit anytime you're around her."
An ambassador is born
Wonder why Amanda got so excited upon realizing who she'd just met?
Consider some of Woodard's accomplishments:
A four-time consensus All-American.
The all-time leading scorer in women's basketball (3,649 points).
Big Eight Player of the Decade for the 1980s.
Lynette Woodard celebrates with the 1984 U.S. Olympic team. Woodward was captain of the gold medal-winning team. Contributed photo.
■ Inducted into the Kansas/GTE Academic Hall of Fame.
2
ETRO
Member of the 1980 U.S. Olympic team and recipient of 1984 and 1985 medals.
First female member of the Harlem Globetrotters.
Lynette Woodard presents a basketball to the Pope in the Vatican City. Woodard was the first woman to play for the Harlem Globetrotters. Contributed photo
"You had to see her to really appreciate her," Washington said. "She played so effortlessly, she just flowed, very graceful. She was way ahead of everybody."
That was obvious before Woodard ever arrived in Lawrence. Her graduating class at Witchia North High had fewer than 80 people, but Woodard's teams won two state championships and had a 59-3 record.
"They still talk about her here," said Dwayne Smith, Woodard's high school coach. "We've got her jersey retired, and there's a whole trophy case of her stuff."
Fieldhouse — the only woman to receive such an honor. Woodard is first all-time at Kansas in almost every significant category, including points, rebounds, field goals, free throws, steals, assists and games.
And that was a problem, that more people didn't have the opportunity to see her play. In an effort to get Woodard more exposure, Washington put together a rigorous schedule that included many top teams from across the country. The travel and competition was tough on the Jayhawks, who had as few as five women on scholarship during Woodard's playing days.
Her No. 31 jersey also is retired at Allen
"A pro coach came in to look at her one time," Washington said. "He had this grid, you know, where he'd mark down everything you did. Points, rebounds, assists, everything, to see how you influenced the action on the court. Well, after he was done watching her, he said he'd never seen a player score as high as she did."
"I mean, we played everybody." Washington said. "And those teams, the best we could find, would do everything they could to stop her. Double team, triple team, foul, anything."
Woodard's ability gave her a responsibility to promote women's basketball, something she took seriously. During the summer of 1981, she toured with nine other women players in Europe, an experience Woodard didn't enjoy.
When she was asked to return to Europe that winter, she accepted out of obligation.
"If Lynette hadn't returned, the people running the league said there was no hope," Washington said. "At that point, she had to go, it was bigger than herself. And that's what I mean when I say she was a pioneer, a true ambassador."
These days Woodard is coaching, but she still finds time for an occasional game.
Looking back
"We play all the time," said senior preseason All-American Lynn Pride. "It goes back and forth, she wins some, I win some."
Pride isn't the only one who wants a shot at Woodard.
"You should see the dads when she goes to recruit," Washington said. "They all want to play her, see if she's really that good. And believe me, she is. She can still play."
Washington worries that Woodard's accomplishments will be forgotten.
"And that's sad, because everything she's got, all these awards and honors and everything else, she's earned and then some," Washington said. "But we have to keep talking about it. If we don't, some of that will be lost."
People always will talk about Woodard. Legends are never forgotten. People talk about athletes like Woodard because of
their accomplishments. But the ones who know Woodard talk about her because of the way she did it.
"It's something that every coach dreams about." Washington said. "She was an incredible player and worked at everything she did. She knew more about the game than anybody I've ever coached and was the easiest to work with. She was a joy to coach then, and she's a joy to work with now."

Phone call investigation leads to New York
Suspect harassed people in other states, police say
(USPS 650-640)
By Michael Terry writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
An investigation into the 14 harassing and threatening phone calls placed on Oct. 4 have led the KU Public Safety Office to a man living in New York.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said that through the course of the department's three-week investigation,
it was able to identify a suspect with the cooperation of other state agencies.
"The suspect was identified and found to be calling long distance from New York," Bailey said. "The man did not appear to be affiliated with the University, and there were no other reported suspects at this time."
Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office said that the man's identity would not be released until either a notice to appear or a warrant for arrest was issued by the district attorney's office.
"Allegedly, the suspect has been making harassing calls to cities in Iowa, Kentucky
and South Dakota, just to name a few," Maileen said. "The FBI is conducting their own investigation at this time, and we are waiting to see what additional information they uncover."
The 14 female students who filed police reports were from seven different residence and scholarship halls.
The evidence collected in the case was turned over to the Douglas County District Attorney's Office for determination of charges yesterday morning.
The man who placed the calls between 12:15 and 3:30 a.m. Oct. 4 threatened to rape and kill women if they hung up on him.
"Because of the interstate connection with this case and the jurisdictional boundaries involved, the other states involved were conducting their own separate investigations at this time," Bailey said.
Bailey said the investigation into the other harassing phone calls placed to female students after Oct. 4 at the University still was ongoing. Two male KU students are suspects for eight harassing phone calls made on Oct. 14. Christine Tonkovich, Douglas County District Attorney, said she would make a decision about whether to charge the suspects by Monday.

Greeks who depledge say it's not always easy

Kansas staff writer
It was midway through fall semester last year when Leawood sophomore Nick Williams decided he no longer could balance fraternity life, school and his Kansas City lawn care business.
He had struggled long and hard with the decision to leave his University of Kansas fraternity chapter, which he did not want to identify, before he packed his bags.
"It doesn't feel like it's an option to leave," Williams said. "A lot of people think it's risky. A lot of people are scared to leave. Everything is the house."
He rented and moved into an apartment in a single day and only then told the fraternity members that he was leaving the chapter.
"I didn't warn people because I knew they'd try to give me any reason they could to stay," Williams said. "I knew they'd be angry."
Members of his fraternity, shocked that he depledged, wanted nothing to do with him once he left the house.
"A fraternity is like a really big family, and when you disown a kid, there's no contact," he said. "They don't go out of their way to make you feel bad, but there's no connection. A lot of people act like they don't see me."
Every year, dozens of University fraternity and sorority pledges quietly slip out of their houses and back into the non-greek world. It's a dark side of Greek life seldom mentioned.

Former student seeks $200,000 from University
Kansan staff writer
A former University of Kansas graduate student is seeking $200,000 from the University after an accident that he claims led to the deterioration of his health and the loss of his job.
In October 1989, Hugo Pelaez of Cali,
Colombia, fell into an open manhole near
Jayhawker Towers. Pelaez, who is blind,
said he injured his lower back in the
accident.
in the months following the accident, Pelaez said his health deteriorated. He was able to finish teaching that semester but did not teach during the spring semester.
"I'm blind," he said. "There's no way I could have done it on my own."
As a result, he lost his graduate teaching position in the French and Italian department—and thus, his paycheck and health insurance.
Pelaez said he contacted several University officials in an effort to get his job back but did not receive help. He said he was told to fill out forms but was not offered any assistance with them.
Pelaez said his health continued to worsen. In addition to his back problems, he said he developed an ulcer and a sinus infection. Moreover, he suffered from depression and was prescribed antidepressants. And he said although the Watkins Memorial Health Center staff was very helpful, he still had not received any help from the University.
"I wasn't asking for any money," he said. "I wanted peace of mind that they would be with me on this."
Pelaez said he decided to contact an attorney when he realized the University would not help him. On Friday, the University offered Pelaez a $25,000 settlement.
He refused the University's settlement, even when they doubled the offer, Pelaez said.
"It totally convinced me that they're just trying to see how much money I want," he said. "This is not money-related. I just want justice to be done."
University counsel did not return messages.
Pelaez said he was determined to take the issue to court. He said his case was an example of how the University discriminated against the disabled.
"I've made it my moral obligation to draw attention to this issue. It's not fair," he said. "I can leave the courtroom without a dollar in my pocket. It doesn't matter. I want this school to learn a lesson and to be ready to help people. If I don't say anything, they'd keep doing it."
Daryl Graves, Pelaez's attorney, said he would not comment as litigation was pending.
Pelaez has not filed a petition yet.

Former student seeks $200,000 from University
Bv Katie Hollar
Kansan staff writer
A former University of Kansas graduate student is seeking $200,000 from the University after an accident that he claims led to the deterioration of his health and the loss of his job.
In October 1998, Hugo Pelaez of Cali, Colombia, fell into an open manhole near Jayhawker Towers. Pelaez, who is blind, said he injured his lower back in the accident.
In the months following the accident, Pelaez said his health deteriorated. He was able to finish teaching that semester but did not teach during the spring semester.
As a result, he lost his graduate teaching position in the French and Italian department—and thus, his paycheck and health insurance.
Pelaez said he contacted several University officials in an effort to get his job back but did not receive help. He said he was told to fill out forms but was not offered any assistance with them.
"I'm blind," he said. "There's no way I could have done it on my own."
Pelaez said his health continued to worsen. In addition to his back problems, he said he developed an ulcer and a sinus infection. Moreover, he suffered from depression and was prescribed antidepressants. And he said although the Watkins Memorial Health Center staff was very helpful, he still had not received any help from the University.
"I wasn't asking for any money," he said. "I wanted peace of mind that they would be with me on this."
Pelaez said he decided to contact an attorney when he realized the University would not help him. On Friday, the University offered Pelaez a $25,000 settlement.
He refused the University's settlement, even when they doubled the offer, Pelaez said.
"It totally convinced me that they're just trying to see how much money I want," he said. "This is not money-related. I just want justice to be done."
University counsel did not return messages.
Pelaez said he was determined to take the issue to court. He said his case was an example of how the University discriminated against the disabled.
"I've made it my moral obligation to draw attention to this issue. It's not fair," he said. "I can leave the courtroom without a dollar in my pocket. It doesn't matter. I want this school to learn a lesson and to be ready to help people. If I don't say anything, they'd keep doing it."
Daryl Graves, Pelaez's attorney, said he would not comment as litigation was pending.
Pelaez has not filed a petition yet.

Auto break-ins at hall are related, police say
A series of automobile burglaries occurred between 3:30 p.m. Monday and 6 a.m. Tuesday in lot 111 next to Gertrude Sellars Pearson-Corin Hall.
Twelve students' cars were broken into, and their car stereos, CDs and other items were stolen. The items and damage to the 12 cars were estimated at $9,875.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said all incidents were thought to be connected. The method used in each of the break-ins was similar, he said.
There has been an increasing number of theft from vehicles this year, not only at the University, but also in the city of Lawrence, he said. The KU Public Safety Office is working in conjunction with the Lawrence Police Department to locate possible suspects.
Bailey said the investigation was ongoing and that his office did not have any suspects at the time.

Gideons give out Bibles hope to spread goodwill
Members of the Gideos International made their annual appearance on campus yesterday and distributed small, green Bibles to students walking to class.
"We want to make the New Testament available to those who would not normally get them," said Jim Taylor, Overland Park resident and member of the Gideons for 12 years.
Taylor, a member of the First Baptist Church, said the Gideons was a nondenominational organization and that members on campus yesterday were from all across Kansas.
The green Bible stated that the Gideons was an association of Christian men, both business and professional. The organization is made up of people in more than 170 countries. It has distributed more than 800 million Bibles and New Testaments to hotels, motels, hospitals, penal institutions, the military, students and those in the public nursing field.
Phil McWilliams, Lawrence stockbroker and volunteer at the Douglas County prison ministry, said they were hoping to distribute about 8,000 New Testaments yesterday.
McWilliams, who was dressed in a polo shirt, said he was part of the younger Gideons who didn't dress in the traditional suits of the older guard.
Clarence Todd, Effingham resident, said he received all kinds of reactions from students.
"You get a variety of responses, some quite encouraging," he said. "We hope to establish goodwill."

Clothing sales attempt to curb Nebraska red
To boost merchandise sales and school spirit, the Kansas and Burge unions' bookstores will offer 25 percent off any non-red clothing this week.
The sale will continue until tomorrow, and Cannon said she had seen more students looking at clothing with little red coloring in it.
Vicki Cannon, assistant manager of merchandise, said the idea came about because of Saturday's football game against Nebraska.
"Nebraska is totally red, and we want ed to counteract that with a little blue," she said. "It's a really big part of who they are, and it was obvious that we didn't want to wear red."
"It might bring more people in," she said, "it's just a fun promotional idea."
said. 'It's just a fun promotional idea. Cannon said there might be more color promotional ideas in the future, but nothing was definite because not that many other schools used red or blue.
"Kansas State is purple, and we definitely don't have any of that color here," she said. "We just want to promote more school spirit."

Semi-trailer crashes into Indiana school bus
SULLIVAN, Ind. — A semi-trailer rig slammed into a school bus at a railroad crossing yesterday, shoving it into the bus in front of it and seriously injuring at least three people. Dozens of others had bumps and bruises.
The accident happened about 8 a.m. about 25 miles south of Terre Haute in the southern part of the state.
Two buses were carrying about 60 Vincennes Lincoln High School students, most of them special education students in grades 9-12, said Tom Mandon, business manager for Vincennes schools. There also were two teachers and as many as 10 chaperones on board, as well as the buses' drivers, he said.
The buses were stopped, one behind the other at a railroad crossing, when the truck struck the rear of the second bus, driving it into the first bus, Mandon said.
The buses were carrying the students on an outing at the Children's Museum in Indianapolis.
MIT student pulls prank; explosive ignites in hand
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—An explosive device blew up in the hand of a student dressed as the Grim Reaper in a lecture hall at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology yesterday, injuring him and two other people.
The explosion apparently was a prank gone awry, said MIT representative Bob Sales. The student was part of a group from the Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity who had been promoting a Halloween party.
As they walked through the aisle of the lecture hall during an engineering class, the device exploded in the 18-year-old student's hand. It was intended to have been simply a flash of light, school officials said.
The student, whose name was not released, was hospitalized in fair condition. Two others were treated at the MIT infirmary. The building was evacuated.
MIT is well known for its pranks, or hacks, which date back at least to the 1920s.
A 1982 prank was among the more memorable. Hackers dug a tunnel under the Harvard Stadium and launched an exploding black rubber balloon at the 50-yard line during the Harvard-Yale game.
Four years ago, hackers put a police car on top of the university's Great Dome.

Architecture school accredited despite a shortage of space
By Amanda Kaschube
Early last month, the National Architecture Accreditation Board came to the University of Kansas campus to evaluate the status and stature of the School of Architecture.
Kansan staff writer
John Gaunt, dean of architecture, learned Tuesday that it had received the full five-year accreditation despite a few minor flaws.
"We are in good shape," he said. "They had strong positive comments and were very impressed on the whole."
Despite compliments on students' displayed works and international programs, the board found the school's shortage of space to be a major problem
"They were concerned that the school was spread around, and they were critical of our facilities." Gaunt said. "It's critical, but not to a degree that it would be limiting our accreditation."
The school's main home is located in Marvin Hall, but Lindley Annex also is used for several students' studios. Gaunt said he had talked to Chancellor Robert Hemenway about the space constraints, but he was unaware of any plans to expand the school.
"The administration is aware of the problem," he said. "As a dean, I make every effort to make them understand the need. But there are no resolutions of
the space shortage."
However, Warren Corman, University architect, said he had heard of several options for more architecture space.
"There are long-range plans to expand," he said.
"We just haven't found money to do it yet."
Corman said there were four options that would provide more space for the school. First, Corman said another floor could be added onto the bridge connecting Marvin Hall to the Art and Design Building. Second, the KANU radio station could be moved out of the Broadcasting Hall in the Art and Design Building, which would enable architecture students to utilize its space. Third, the computer science department could be moved out of Snow Hall and into Learned Hall, which would allow students to use the space for their studios. Last, Corman said that with the help of the Kansas University Endowment Association, an $8 million addition could be built onto the back of Marvin.
Despite these options, Corman said changes still needed to happen in order to maintain the school's accreditation.
"The danger does exist; if it's not resolved, it could be a serious problem," he said. "It can be corrected in new and different facilities or concrete plans of change."

Chancellor sets task force goals for leadership in science literacy
By Clay McCuistion
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Chancellor Robert Hemenway has appointed 16 University of Kansas faculty members to serve on a science education special task force.
Hemenway announced his intentions to form the group in his Sept. 8 faculty convocation speech. His aim was to help reverse the damage done by the state Board of Education's decision to de-emphasize evolutionary teaching in schools.
The group's first meeting will be Nov. 11 at Strong Hall.
"I would like to see KU become one of the leaders in the United States in higher education," Hemenway said last week. "The more scientifically literate our society is the better that society will be."
Hemenway's Oct. 22 memorandum naming members of the task force set goals for the University to be a national leader in preparing science students, educating students and the public to be scientifically literate, and seeking outside funding to accomplish the goals.
"We also want to be a leader in science as part of a student's general
education," Hemenway said. "We need to look at how we educate students at KU — science majors and non-majors, graduate and professional students."
The 16 task force members span a broad array of disciplines. Rich Givens, the chairman of the group, is an assistant provost and a chemistry professor. Also serving are Keith Russell, the dean of libraries, and Jim Woelfel, professor of western civilization.
The chancellor's memo requested that the task force make recommendations on achieving the goals by May 1, 2000.
"It is not a simple undertaking," said Mary Burg, executive assistant to the chancellor. "It could not be wrapped up quickly."
David Darwin, professor of civil engineering, said he agreed to serve on the task force because of the importance of science education in preparing students and citizens.
"I have an interest in motivating grade school and high school students in the sciences," he said. "We're not going to have a good source of students for the University unless we have good students on the grade school and high school levels."
Plus, Darwin said, he had to consider

Lack of Regents job search questioned
Board executive fills open position without searching
By Clay McCuistion
By Clay McCusition
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
When Mike Matson starts his work as external affairs director for the Board of Regents next Monday, he'll be taking a job that he never sought and that was never advertised.
Matson was hired for the position by Regents executive director Kim Wilcox without a search — he didn't even know about the job until it was offered to him. Matson, press secretary for Gov. Bill Graves, will be taking over some of the responsibilities of outgoing communications director Barbara Conant and handling governmental relations.
While Wilcox was not required by law to form a search committee or let possible applicants know about the position, direct hiring is not the usual practice at the
University of Kansas, said Maurice Bryan director of the campus Equal Opportunity Office.
"The first thing we do for most positions is look for search potential," he said. "Sometimes, in an emergency, we might do something without a search committee."
The law does require that there be equal opportunity for women and minorities in the job marketplace, and a search committee helps an organization make sure that discrimination doesn't creep into hiring practices.
Bryan said some jobs at the university level were so specific—in the sciences, for example — that collecting a wide array of applicants was impractical. He said a search committee also could be bypassed if a position needed to be filled immediately.
Bryan refused to speculate about the direct hiring of Matson.
"I don't have enough information to say it was the wrong or right decision," Bryan said.
Lynn George, employment manager in human relations at the University, hires classified staff—janitors, secretaries and
various service personnel. She said most of the time, a search was done for the positions she oversaw.
There are situations that may necessitate a direct hire, George said. If a person can be promoted internally or diversity goals can be met, a search may not be performed.
"There are criteria occasionally where it is deemed appropriate," she said.
Wilcox said the importance of the governmental relations to the reformulated Regents made a quick hire necessary. The Regents previously reported only to the legislature in Topeka and supervised the six state universities. Now, they coordinates all higher education in the state and work with individual community college and technical school governing boards.
"Previously, we had one major government agency to assist," Wilcox said. "We now have at least 31 agencies to deal with."
Matson refused to comment on the specifics of his hiring and said he knew nothing about the circumstances of Wilcox's offer. He had not been seeking another job.
"I was very flattered they approached me," Matson said. "It is a tremendous challenge professionally."
Let vote stand, Senate says
Referendum aims to build new center
By Chris Borniger writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A referendum may not build a building, but a majority of student senators think the chancellor should take last spring's student vote for a new recreation center seriously.
Last night, Student Senate voted 52-8 to pass a resolution urging Chancellor Robert Hemenway to follow closely the suggestions of the referendum, which asked students if they would approve of a $49 fee increase to pay for a freestanding campus center. Hemenway has said that he also was considering an option using the fee-generated funds to build an addition to Robinson Center.
Michael Henry, non-traditional senator and legislation sponsor, said the chancellor needed to heavily consider in his decision the overwhelming margin by which the referendum passed.

"This whole issue is about what students said," he said. "The referendum clearly stated free-standing. Students are willing to take this fee on themselves. This just asks the
SENATE NOTES
In other business, Senate voted to:
Acclamate a petition requesting more service-centered opportunities in class curriculum.
Pass a bill to create the New Student Project team, allowing freshmen, transfer, graduate and professional students to work on Senate projects.
A person to give students until the fifth and sixth weeks of the semester to elect the Credit/No Credit grading option.
Table a bill modifying how six student organizations receive Senate money.
Senate also approved bills to allocate:
- $275 to the Public Relations Student Society of America
- $287 to the Adopt-aSchool program
chancellor to keep that at the forefront of his mind."
Jessica Bankston, a co-sponsor of the bill and a member of the Senate recreation task force last year, said a Robinson addition was an unfair option.
"This is more about having ownership in something students voted for." she said.
Brett Stoppel, off-campus senator, voted against the bill. He said he did so because his constituents originally were opposed to a new recreation center. Maintaining a new center, he said, also could be costly.
"I think it would end up hurting students in the long run," he said. "There's no reason we can't feel like we have ownership to a Robinson addition. That's the best option."
Senate tabled a bill to allow
students more rights in disciplinary hearings by amending the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities.
Nicole Skalla, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, voted to table the bill. She said administrators should be able to peruse the potential changes to the code before Senate approved them.
J. D. Jenkins, the bill's sponsor, said he would have rather dealt with administrators when the bill already had Senate's support.
"I didn't want to forge out some legalistic document if students won't support it in the first place," he said. "Basically, it's just going to be a delay. It's not a huge blow to civil liberties."

Sale of models' eggs promotes false values, endorses materialism
The sale of fashion models' eggs to the highest bidder is an unethical practice and should not be supported. Unfortunately, the sale of beauty to those who can afford it has reached a new level of accessibility.
Fashion photographer Ron Harris has started a Web site where the eggs of models are available for $10,000 to $50,000, with an additional 20 percent service fee. Harris, who also breeds horses, seems to have confused humans with livestock in this disturbing offer of beauty for a price.
Harris' idea of buying beauty is flawed in many ways. First, just because someone buys a model's
Buying an egg for a chance to have a beautiful child is an unethical practice
egg doesn't guarantee that the offspring will be beautiful. The mother contributes only half of the child's genes. The model may have recessive genes that could appear in the child and that might not be deemed so beautiful by society.
The children produced from these models' eggs also will be negatively effected. Imagine what they will think when they learn that they were purchased in hopes that they would satisfy their parents' warped
vision of classical beauty. If they are beautiful, they are taught that this beauty is what should matter most in life. If they don't fulfill their parents' desire for beauty, then it is probable that they will perceive themselves as failures.
This sale of beauty also takes away the chances of other children, who weren't created solely for beauty, to be adopted. Children already in need of parents will be shunned in favor of these "golden eggs."
Harris' sale of beauty should be seen for what it is, a promotion of false values and ideals to be endorsed only by the most materialistic of society.

Student activism Web site to open
The creators of the Sapiens Project, a Web forum scheduled to open in mid-November, encompass student activism at its peak.
Three University of Kansas students have taken the initiative to launch a Web site dedicated to informing and encouraging involvement on a wide range of issues.
Coachers Peter Markatos, Wichita senior; Matt Gregg, Newton senior; and Aaron Major, Kansan columnist and Deerfield, N.H., senior, are paying for the project out of their own pockets and time banks.
Markatos said the Sapiens Project was about awareness. The goal is to encourage visitors to the Web site to learn, think and act.
Learning will occur through being well and diversely informed. The site plans to remain neutral and non-partisan, while presenting issues from more than one perspective. For example, an article from The New York Times will be paired with an article from an alternative news source such as The Nation.
Activist Web site encourages community to learn, think and act to make a difference.
Next comes thinking, and thinking comes through discussion. Although there are many discussion sites on the Web, the Sapiens Project plans to provide something different — a perspective combining global and local issues special to the University and Lawrence audience.
with names of lawmakers and opinion leaders they can contact and also will give suggestions for other ways to get involved with issues that raise concern.
Overall, the proposed site remains true to its title. The word "sapiens" is derived from the Latin root *supere*, which means to be wise. The Sapiens Project promotes intellectualism through its goals of learning, thinking and acting.
Finally, the project takes learning and thinking one step further by encouraging activism. The site will provide users
Students, faculty and the community should take advantage of this new Web forum as soon as it is launched and use it to inform themselves, express their views and then do something to make a difference.
The Sapiens Project creators are doing their part to make a difference by taking an active role to inform and involve others in the world around them.

Perspective
Allowing men in march takes focus off women
Almas
Sayeed
guest columnist
opinion@kasan.com
Think fall is a really beautiful time of year, especially when the leaves become an amazing combination of orange and yellow and everyone is wrapped in warm clothes, anticipating the arrival of Thanksgiving break. I think it is also a time to give thought to what it means to be safe, secure and comfortable.
NAMED BY
ALANE KUMAR
For millions of women throughout this country and the world, the beauty of the season and the comfort of personal security are overshadowed by violence within the home. It is staggering to think that in this country alone, a woman is beaten or killed in incidents of domestic violence every 15 seconds. Fifty percent of women in this country have been victim of domestic violence, which means that in any classroom on this campus you your neighbor
teacher or professor could be a domestic violence survivor. And this statistic does not even include rates of domestic violence within gay, lesbian and transgendered communities.
More importantly, women's mobility and freedom is often restricted because of fear of attack and lack of safety. Men marching against violence alongside women may give the illusion of unity and safety, but it does not reflect the social reality that women are at a much higher risk of attack than men. There was a time when men could march in Lawrence and the result was that their voices drowned out those of the women. They would often lead the march without women and would repeat chants such as "People Unite, Take Back the Night," instead of "Womyn Unite, Take Back the Night." It was overpowering and prevented women's participation. This is a large part of the reason men no longer march.
To increase awareness about the issue and recognize the stories of survivors, the country recognizes October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. There have been a number of events this month to recognize the issue, and today will be the culmination of the month's activities: the Womyn Take Back the Night march, rally and speak-out.
There are a number of reasons that women should march on their own. Firstly, I am compelled by the argument that this is Womyn Take Back the Night, not People Take Back the Night. Though men may be outspoken about their aversion toward domestic violence, this does not undermine the simple fact that women are the victims of attacks and domestic violence 95 percent of the time.
excludes men, that it squashes men's ability to speak out against domestic violence and that not all Womyn Take Back the Night marches in the country disallow men's participation. Though these arguments are understandable, I would argue against men's inclusion.
The march is a public protest against violence perpetrated against women and children. The spirit of the march is captured in the women's circle, intended to validate and recognize the experiences of women who are survivors or who have been affected by domestic violence. Afterward, women march down Massachusetts Street to voice their rage, disgust and dismay at the idea that there are so many women and children affected by domestic violence and that we live in a social structure that continues to tolerate it.
Yet there are many things men can do to participate in Womyn Take Back the Night. Pre-march activities include time for non-profit organizations in Lawrence to share and distribute information, a rally that will include a number of local artists and speakers and the very important men's circle, which will occur simultaneously to the women's circle. Men are encouraged to attend all these activities.
Since the beginning of my involvement with Lawrence's Womyn Take Back the Night, I have heard the argument that the march unjustly
The circle is a forum for men to discuss their own issues related to domestic violence, share their survivor stories and validate each other's experiences. It is an important time for men to discuss, share and critically evaluate what it means to be male in a society that often condones men's violence against women.
Sayeed is a Wichita junior in philosophy, international studies and women's studies. She is an organizer of Womyn Take Back the Night.
Men should be allowed in march against violence
T onight, a cross section of Lawrence citizens and University of Kansas students
Tonight, a cross section of Lawrence citizens and University of Kansas students will be taking a stand against violence. Womyn Take Back the Night is a national march to protest the violence that American society promotes and perpetrates, especially against women and children. But half of the people who ought to be there won't be participating in the march on Massachusetts Street.
Men are not allowed to march with women in Lawrence (although they are allowed to do so in other cities) and have not been since the march's
Irish Girl of the World
inception. Almas Sayeed, one of the Lawrence march's organizers, said that at age 18 boys are no longer permitted. Once they are past that age, they would not be permitted to march unless accompanied by their mothers. This begs the question: what if the hypothetical 19-year-old whose mother died as a result of domestic violence wanted to come? Would he still be forbidden to march?
Jennifer Roush guest columnist opinion@kansan.com
Males who wish to protest are relegated to a "men's circle” where they are encouraged to talk with one another about domestic violence and child abuse. Many of these men talk about the abuse they received at the hands of their parents. But they cannot talk publicly about this abuse. They cannot take to the streets with their wives and daughters and sisters.
Why?
Because they are men. They possess male genitalia, which makes them potential rapists and abusers of women and children. This is sexism in its purest form. Remember, the first definition of the word "sexism" is discrimination based on gender. It is not solely discrimination against women.
If men were to stage a march against violence and excluded women solely because of their gender, there would be indignant letters and editorials in newspapers across the nation calling for women's inclusion. Women, after all, are directly affected by child abuse and domestic violence
But so are men — men who come from violent families, men who struggle with anger and depression every day of their lives, men who love and marry women who have survived child abuse or domestic violence.
Why am I making such a big deal out of something so small? Because I speak as a survivor of child sexual abuse who is married to a survivor of child abuse and domestic violence. I would be allowed, even encouraged, to bring my three-year-old son with me if I chose to participate in the march, but my husband would not be permitted to show his support by joining us. This is wrong, and it sends the wrong message to men who may not understand the anger and desire for independence that lies behind the exclusion.
However, what many men hear is not the desire for independence. What they hear is the rejection. Men hear the women they know and love talking about a problem that, as men, they are forbidden to help solve. This is exquisitely unfair to the psychies of men. One does not give a problem to a man that one does not want solved in some way or another. It just isn't in most men's natures to listen without doing.
One does not change society by actively ignoring and excluding half of that society's members. I understand that the point of the march is for women to assert their right to walk the streets at night without being victimized. I sympathize completely. This cry for independence and rejection of the help of men is similar to my three-year-old's desire to do everything for himself.
As President Clinton has been so fond of saying, we haven't got a person to waste. Division of the sexes is no way to conquer domestic violence and child abuse. It is wasteful and mean-spirited to deny men the opportunity to speak — arm in arm with women — against violence.
Roush is a Lawrence senior in journalism and a member of the Kansan editorial board.
Feedback God can create life
Many people mistakenly believe that if you believe in creation, you don't accept many scientific findings or theories. This isn't accurate. Please remember that within the scientific community itself that many theories (not just evolution) are debated on a regular basis. If one researcher disagrees with another, they don't typically resort to name calling, or choose to completely ignore the other person's value in society.
I believe that the Chief Scientist (God) has the ability to create life, although I can't personally understand how something can be made from
nothing. If I refuse to believe that a Supreme Being can truly create any form of life, however simple, I may be missing out on some important revelations, and I'm not speaking of just the spiritual.
A challenge I would like offer many people is this; If God has any power at all, if He can create something as simple as a single-celled creature, or even a grain of sand, shouldn't we acknowledge that our current time-table of life, or the belief in evolution be completely off? Why? If God can create anything, once this element or object is material, it will appear to be an "aged" specimen, even though it just "appeared." This would be
true whether it is a tree (win numerous "time" rings in its center), or an animal. You don't have to accept it, but if we choose to only believe what we completely understand, the computer I'm using to write this letter does not exist, since I don't understand how such a small "chip" can hold so much information. It is unwise to refuse to believe in something just because you don't "understand" Evolution is popular, mainly because people can "understand" the explanations it offers. Just because you can fully "understand" and idea or theory, doesn't make it fact.

Theater to hold auditions
Local company prepares to open seventh show
By Becky Lake Special to the Kansan
Andy Stowers and Nathan Cadman had no money, no consistent rehearsal space and no sponsorship, but they always had wanted to start their own theater company.
After more than a year and six shows, their brainchild, EMU theater company, is one of the few independent theater companies in Lawrence. The group of more than 30 regular members is set to begin work on its seventh production.
EMU, which doesn't stand for anything, will hold auditions for seventh production at 7 p.m. today and tomorrow at Ecumenical Christian Ministries. Two 10-minute comedic skits, "The Butcher's Wife" and "Tea for Three" by Joel Reavis, will be cast. Actors do not need to bring prepared audition material.
"It kind of started by accident," said Cadman, a Lawrence resident.
EMU's show comes after a year of experiments, growth and success.
Cadman said that he and Stowers' boss at Java Break, 17 E. Seventh St., agreed to let the two use the coffee house as space for their first show. Stowers and Cadman made and posted filers requesting script submissions. From the 10 submitted, EMU's first production, a night featuring four short plays, opened Aug. 13, 1998.
"All the money we spent we put in out of our own pockets," Cadman said. "But we made back
what we spent, and we knew there was an audience in Lawrence."
EMU since has used its profits from one show to finance the next.
"We've been really fortunate that most of our shows have made money," Cadman said. "We just used money we already had and seemed to make more than we spent. We try not to spend much money at all."
Stowers, also a Lawrence resident, estimated that EMU had $1,000 but said that making money wasn't what EMU was about.
"The fact that I don't want to get involved in large-scale commercial theater shouldn't interfere with my opportunities for theatrical work," he said. "I know that with many core members of EMU, there's a very romantic and yet pragmatic side to doing 'poor theater.'"
"It's definitely art for art's sake," Stowers said. "The bottom line is not necessarily what's going to draw an audience. It's about keeping going as long as people want to do it."
Damon Klassen, Great Bend senior, said EMU's low budget and noncommercial style was more valuable to him as an actor and director.
Though EMU's budget can't and doesn't compete with those of University Theatre or Lawrence Community Theatre, some of EMU's participants think the company has some advantages when compared to more mainstream theater companies.
"One thing you get that you wouldn't get out of a university setting is interaction with the community," said Josh Meyer, Overland Park junior and actor for EMU. "Even though academic theater is supposed to be an environment for exploration and
learning, I feel like you can do more of that at EMU."
Melissa Shimkovitz, Glenview, Ill., senior, said that unlike University Theatre, EMU didn't have to worry about how its shows would register with audiences.
"We don't plan our shows based on the audience," she said. "We plan our shows based on what the artists want, and that finds an audience."
EMU advertises its script submissions and audition dates by filers and word of mouth. Though the deadline already has passed for the last round of script submissions, Stowers said EMU was accepting scripts all the time. Local playwrights can submit their works at Great Harvest Bread Co.. 807 Vermont St.
EMU has performed everywhere from Java Break to the ECM to the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., but Cadman said that EMU possibly could put on its next show at the Lawrence Arts Center. "The Butcher's Wife" and "Tea for Three" are scheduled tentatively to run Dec. 9-11.
Trevor Ruder, Lawrence resident, said he hoped to get two productions together by the end of this year and two or more in the spring semester.
Though many of the members of EMU will be graduating or moving away from Lawrence in the future, Stowers said he hoped EMU would continue long after he left town.
"I think the future's wide open," he said. "I hope we build a larger audience and do better and better work by local artists. As far as I'm concerned, EMU will be around as long as there are people around who want to do it. If you want the experience, and you have the desire, it will work for you."

Holiday draws house directors in full costume
By Lori O'Toole
writer @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Mittens Crow, Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house director, donned her black and silver flapper costume, black flats and curled her hair last night for the Housemoms' Howl, a costume dinner party put on each year by Alpha Delta Pi sorority.
Crow, who has worked at the fraternity house for seven years, has attended the party each year.
"I like to dress up," she said. "I think it lets you be yourself, but incognito. Everyone enjoins it."
About 30 house directors were picked up by Alpha Delta Pi's sorority members and escorted to the party. The members served the guests a chill dinner before announcing costume prizes.
Sarah Miller, Alpha Delta Pi member and Wichita junior, coordinated the event.
"It's so funny to see them dressed up and talking together." she said.
Miller said one of the funniest costumes in past years was last year, when one of the directors showed up as Cameron Diaz's
character in the movie There's Something About Mary, complete with spiked bangs.
Angie O'Brien, Alpha KappaLambda fraternity house director, made the Dorothy costume she wore last night. She used red glitter and glue to turn a pair of bridesmaid shoes into the magical ruby slippers.
"I started the shoes a couple of weeks ago," she said. "There was red glitter all over the house."
The Housemoms' Howl was not the only Halloween party on campus last night.
Residents of Ellsworth Hall carved pumpkins, while residents of neighboring Hashinger Hall participated in Hashween, a carnival-oriented party with a haunted house, games and a dance.

Museums to sponsor Halloween festivities
By Hilary Evans Special to the Kansan
In addition to Halloween spokes and treats, children have some educational Halloween alternatives tonight.
The Natural History Museum also will have a strange-pet exhibit, at which professors and others will bring their bizarre pets, such as tarantulas and pocket gophers. Children also will be able to see a live owl and the renovated bee exhibit.
Jama Kolosick, director of education for the Natural History Museum and coordinator of the event, has organized "Dark at the Top of the Hill." for six years. This year, "Museum After Dark" will give participants a chance to use the Kansas National Guard's vision goggles and to see all of the animals from the exhibit in the dark.
"Dark at the Top of the Hill" is a Halloween-fun night for children and parents from 7 to 9:15 p.m. at the Natural History Museum, the Museum of Anthropology and in the Kansas Union.
"It is a fun chance to get to play with something in the dark," Kolosick said.
Cella Daniels, public education coordinator for the Museum of Anthropology, coordinated another program called "Days of the Dead." It is a Mexican celebration that honors the dead with prayers and by using small skeleton figurines. Children will be able to see
an exhibit of these skeletons doing everyday things. Children can make wide-brimmed hats that Catrina, a popular skeleton image, wears.
Katrina S. Widholm Warren, marketing and promotions coordinator for the Kansas and Burge unions, also has planned activities. The Union will have a man making balloon animals and also will have mummy bowling. Baby Jav will be there to hand out candy.
A bingo game will teach visitors about some of the symbols and images in the exhibit. The museum also will sponsor a mariachi band that will play Mexican music in the Union. Graduate students in museum studies will oversee two other activities.
The Society of Physics Students also will be involved. It will put on a play written by Philip Baringer, professor of physics, at Wooldruff Auditorium in the Union. The play is about the making of a disaster movie, "Demise of the Dinosaur," on a budget of $2.50. The actors discover cheap ways to make spectacular effects while teaching physics to the children.
"Dark on the Top of the Hill" is inexpensive and something that brothers and sisters can go to," Kolosick said. "If people come, they should come in a costume."
Tickets for the event are $2 and are available at the museums or at the door. For more information call the Natural History Museum at (785) 864-4450.

Armenian officials murdered
Prime minister among seven killed during parliament
The Associated Press
YEREVAN, Armenia — Gunmen seized Armenia's parliament in a torrent of automatic weapons fire yesterday, killing the prime minister and at least six other people. The attackers were still holed up in the building early today with dozens of hostages.
With the bodies of Prime Minister Vazgen Sarkisian and Parliament Speaker Karen Demirchil still on the podium where they fell, the attackers demanded to see the president. The human released three
The gunmen released three
hostages about 10 hours after the Wednesday afternoon assault, but continued to demand talks with President Robert Kocharian, the country's leader.
In a televised statement early today, Kocharian promised to take "all measures to control the situation and free the hostages." But there no immediate signs of a resolution to the standoff.
The three freed hostages — two parliament deputies and Agriculture Minister Gagig Shakhbazian — apparently were released for medical concerns. All were taken to hospital after the release, reportedly suffering from heart attacks.
Police said up to five gunmen held dozens of hostages in the main chamber of the parliament building. The gunmen claimed they were
holding about 50 hostages.
"They said it was a coup and called on the journalists to inform people about it. They said they were going to punish the authorities for what they did to the nation," said one reporter who was in the chamber during the attack.
A man identified as the gunman's leader, Nairi Unanian, spoke in a telephone interview with a local television station.
"This is a patriotic action," he said. "This shake-up is needed for the nation to regain its senses."
He said the deaths were unintended except for Sarkisian, who he claimed had failed to serve the nation.
Armenian television broadcast footage of the attack, showing at least two men firing automatic weapons in the parliament chamber.

U.S. nets consecutive budget surpluses the first since Eisenhower presidency
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON— Declaring the "book on deficits is closed," President Clinton said yesterday that the federal government posted a budget surplus of $123 billion last fiscal year, recording the first back-to-back surpluses since Dwight Eisenhower was president.
The surplus for the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30 followed a $69.2 billion surplus in 1998, the first time the government had finished in the black since 1969. Almost all the surplus is from Social Security taxes. Clinton said the surplus was the largest in American history, and
credit it to his economic policies. "We have closed the book on deficits and opened the door on a new era of economic opportunity," he said. "If we seize this historic moment, we can now create a generation of prosperity."
Despite the surpluses, the government still has a $5 trillion debt.
Rep. Bill Archer, R-Texas and chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, called the surplus a victory for GOP fiscal strategies.
"This is what happens when Republicans take care of the government checkbook and hold the line against tax hikes and more spending," Archer said.
Joe Lockhart, White House representative, called the 1999 surplus the largest in U.S. history in total dollar terms. As a percentage of the total economy, it is the largest surplus since 1951. Lockhart said.
Lockhart said the president also would note that the national debt had been reduced by $138 billion, the largest debt reduction on record. He said Clinton would use the occasion to appeal for further fiscal discipline in order to eliminate the debt.
"We have done an enormous amount of work to turn this economy around,turn our fiscal picture around,"Lockhart said. "But there is still a lot of work to do."

Students fear brothers,sisters will become enemies
Continued from page 1A
Some pledges say they feel trapped, that leaving is a frightening option. Those who do leave say their "brothers and sisters" can, and do, turn on them, leaving them with 60 enemies where they once had 60 friends.
"It's kind of like getting away from the Mafia," one former pledge said.
Of course, not every depleding is traumatic, but Greek leaders say soridity and fraternity members are beginning to realize that the organizations must change to keep their members and, however slow, change is coming.
Williams lost a lot of friends after he left, and that used to bother him.
"I'm sure it would make a lot of individuals feel terrible." Williams said. "But once I left, I realized I didn't have anything in common with those guys except the fact that we were in the same fraternity."
Breaking away not easy decision
Like Williams, most students consider leaving Greek life worry what their fellow members will think of them, where they will live and how they will break a lifelong commitment to the chapter.
The process, known as depleding for non-initiated members and deactivating or resigning for initiated members, is defined vaguely among the University's chapters.
Bill Nelson, director of greek programs, said the University did not force students to quit the chapters formally, although many chapters require the students to fill out extensive paperwork before leaving.
This year alone, two of about 700 women who participated in formal sorority recruitment signed an official intention to deplege on the Panhellenic Association preference card. However, he said usually no more than five percent of the women who pledged in the fall depleted during the year without an official announcement to greek programs.
While women officially can deplede, there is no similar option for men through the Interfraternity Council.
Nelson said students often depled when they realized they were rushing for the wrong reasons, reasons such as pressure from friends or family or an inaccurate perception of the Greek social scene.
"A lot of students don't realize there's no drinking under 21 especially for the women," Nelson said.
Whatever its roots, a bad pledge experience. Nelson said, can lead some people to leave a sorority or fraternity. He usually encourages those thinking about quitting to discuss their reasons with chapter members. Nelson said his goal was not to discourage students from depleding.
"Our goal is to make sure they've had the good conversation with the house," he said. "Maybe there's been a bad experience, that, if you've told someone about it, they could do something to make sure it doesn't happen again."
Unfortunately, talking about problems with fraternity or sorority members is the last thing many disillusioned pledges want to do.
In September 1997, after living in a fraternity house for less than a month, one KU student realized that life in his fraternity was not for him. Other members were having him, he had little time to hire.
Mixed reactions to depledging
self and he had made few friends outside of the house.
One fraternity 'member warned him that if he ever told others what occurred within the house's walls, the fraternity brother would kill him.
In the face of such threats, he felt pressured to stay in the house. Pressure also came from his family members, several of whom had been alumni of the same chapter.
One night, fearing that other fraternity members would overhear his conversation, the pledge drove to the Burge Union parking lot and called his parents on his cellular phone to tell them he had to get out — immediately.
His parents left home and arrived in Lawrence at 11 p.m. to move him into the Holiday Inn.
to continue living in the house for the remainder of the semester. He instead opted to move into Ellsworth Hall.
"But once I left, I realized I didn't have anything in common with those guys except the fact that we were in the same fraternity."
Of course, many students may not have had as traumatic an experience as this student (who asked that his name not be printed because he still feels threatened by the fraternity).
"Everyone, including Kappa Sigma, just wanted me to be happy," he said. "I have a lot of respect for the house. They could have easily turned their back on me."
Sean Deverey, Milwaukee sophomore, depledged from Kappa Sigma fraternity last spring after living in the house for the majority of the semester.
Nick Williams leawood sophomore
Deverey said that he continued to maintain friendships with several of the fraternity members and that some of them invited him to a house party in September.
He said his experience leaving a chapter was much different than that of others, including friends in other houses who were physically threatened.
"There's definitely a lot of hostility," Deverey said. "They're generally not welcomed back. My experience was not the norm. I think most people who leave would have experienced the exact opposite."
Psychology of the process
Chris Crandall, associate professor of psychology, said members of any group felt threatened when people quit, especially when the person leaving was a strong, interesting individual.
"The group makes it hard to leave," he said. "You have to go through a dismembering process. A group wants to keep a group together. They make it hard to get in to make sure groups have good members, and they make it difficult to leave to maintain loyalty."
Shawnw Clark, Conway Springs sophomore, was initiated into Alpha Gamma Delta sorority last fall and deactivated in April.
Deactivating
She said some of the sorority members still saw her but ignored her on campus.
"Obviously, they didn't care about me very much or they would-
about me very much or i n't have treated me with so much disrespect when I was gone or even while I was there," she said.
Rusti Decker,
Wellington junior,
joined Alpha Delta Pi
sorority during her
freshman year and
lived in the house last
year.
Before the fall semester began, she announced that she was going to quit the chapter.
"I realized it's hard living with 90 women," she said.
She said many people were disappointed, including those she had agreed to be roommates with this year. However, she that said her friends understood and that she still spent a lot of time with them at the house.
Chris Jameson, Interfraternity Council judicial board chief justice and Dallas senior, said the fact that an individual left a chapter often was kept quiet in the Greek community.
"There been no one who's rejected me," she said. "In some ways, I feel like I'm still in the house. It been a positive experience. I have a philosophy in my life that I need to do what makes me happy."
He said this happened specifically when a pledge left.
"The problem, of course, is that it's difficult to maintain relationships because you symbolically have said the group has no value to you."
When a pledge quits a house, if often sets off warning lights to the national headquarters," Jameson
Chris Crandall
associate professor of psychology
said. "Sometimes they may assume that there was something going on, like hazing, when there wasn't."
He said chapters also tried to remain quiet when they removed actives.
"We don't want to embarrass them or cause questions for the fraternity," Jameson said.
Jennifer Rock, Gamma Phi Beta bedge trainer and Olathe junior, said she had worked with pledge members this year who were thinking about quitting.
"Some did, and some didn't." she said. "And that's fine. Sometimes you have to try something to figure out it's not for them. We would sit down and talk about their decision." Rock said the chapter had felt no animosity toward
those who depledled this year and in past years. She also said there was no animosity toward any member who was removed from the chapter, which she said had happened while she lived in the house.

Changes in the system
Nelson said many greek groups were beginning to have shorter pledge programs to eliminate the class divisions. Although many programs continue to last a semester, Zeta Beta Tau fraternity's program is only 72 hours. He said that, following Zeta Beta Tau's example, many fraternities were shortening their pledge programs.
Nelson said another problem was that students with demanding schedules and lifestyles were not able to remain active in the greek organizations.
For example, he said, some sororities and fraternities were beginning to be more lenient on students who worked and missed meetings and other time commitments.
He said other Greek organizations were expanding their boundaries on who could be a member. For example, married students often can remain active in chapters now when they couldn't only a couple of years ago.
"There's more flexibility out there," Nelson said. "It reflects regularly changing lifestyles and demographics. And it helps keep members."

The problem, of course, is that it's difficult to maintain relationships because you symbolically have said the group has no value to you," he said.

Jayhawks claim border war 3-0

Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas volleyball team was clicking on all cylinders last night.
The Jayhawks throttled the Missouri Tigers 3-0 at the Horesei Family Athletics Center, gaining their second-straight victory. Kansas improved to 15-7 overall and 6-5 in the Big 12 Conference while setting a school record for the most conference wins since the inception of the Big 12.
The win last night was the second this season against Missouri. Last month, the Jayhawks
escaped with a 3-2 win in Columbia, Mo., after overcoming a 2-1 game deficit.
"When we were down in Missouri, it took us about a game and a half before we really started playing," junior outside hitter Amy Myatt said. "We really wanted to come out tonight and take care of this right away."
the game. 15-5.
Kansas accomplished that task in game one. Down 4-1, the Jayhawks benefited from three Missouri attack errors that tied the game at 4-4.
The Jayhawks kept burning Missouri in game two, establishing an 11-0 lead and finishing the Tigers, 15-2. Reves contributed six kills, while Kansas had no errors and a .518 attack percentage.
"The most important thing from a technical standpoint is what we did in game two," Coach Ray Bechard said. "The most important thing from a standpoint of the team growing up and maturing is what happened in game three."
Senior middle blocker Amanda Reves had five kills, and Myatt added four. The Jayhawks scored 11 of the next 12 points and took
The Jayhawks were down 9-1 in the third game and eventually had their backs against the wall, trailing 13-6 with Missouri serving.
"We obviously weren't sharp coming out and that had to do a lot with our opponent," Bechard said. "They made adjustments, and they obviously wanted to prolong the match."
But the Tigers couldn't prolong the match for long. The Jayhawks forced a sideout. Then Reves and sophomore setter Molly LaMere combined for a block. Myatt delivered eight kills down the stretch as the Jayhawks scored nine straight and beat Missouri 15-13.
The Jayhawks will play the No. 9 Texas Longhorns on Saturday at Austin, Texas.

kansas millennium athletes jim ryun A four-minute span in 1964 broke a national record, and then created a legend
story by matt tait
Four minutes seemed like an awfully short time to accomplish anything of worth. And four years seemed like an even shorter time to create a legend. But in both cases, that is exactly what Jim Ryun did.
In 1964, Ryun became the first high school athlete to run a four-minute mile. At Kansas, from 1966-69, Ryun won five national titles, four of them at indoor events, and became the world-record holder in the 880-yard dash, the mile and the 1,500 meters.
"He was the Babe Ruth of track," said Kansas broadcaster Max Falkenstein.
Ryun was born on April 29,1947 in Wichita. As a kid, sports were not a priority to Ryun,but he enjoyed school and was a good student. Through grade school, Ryun only played recreational sports, and he was cut from teams in junior high school — including track.
But in 1962, Ryun would meet a man who became the driving force in his track and field career, former Kansas and Wichita East High School track coach Bob Timmons — a man whom Ryun later would call a "gift from God."
"I needed someone like Coach Timmons to come along and draw my talents out," Ryun said. "When
he first approached me about going after the four-minute mark, it was unfathomable. I had never made a school team, and now we were trying to go after world records."
A mile for the ages
As a sophomore at Wichita East, Ryun began to run the event that would become synonymous with his name — the mile.
Ryun's first high school race wasn't remarkable — he ran a 5-minute, 38-second mile and was defeated by the previous year's state champion.
But that would be Ryan's last defeat in high school. He continued his prep career by setting several Wichita East records — two of which still stand: the 1500 meters and the mile.
By the end of his sophomore year, Ryun had cut his mile time from 5:38:00 to 4:07:08. The decrease did not go unnoticed by Timmons or the rest of the track world.
"After his third race in high school, we told him we thought that he could become the first high school kid to run the four-minute mile," Timmons said. "But what we did think is that if he'd do it, he'd do it as a senior. Instead, he did it as a junior."

Raymant's return has Jayhawks hopes high
By Melinda Weaver

Kansan sportswriter

DALLAS — At the Big 12 Conference women's basketball media day yesterday, conversations buzzed about the same thing that the Big 12 finally has established itself as one of the toughest basketball conferences in the nation.
Every team, from first place Iowa State to last place Texas A&M, claims to have improved from last season.
Preseason No. 2 Kansas also claims to be better this season, and coach Marian Washington has statistics to back up her statement.
"To look back through the last 20 years of score charts, I see that we had the lowest scoring average last season in the last 20 years," Washington said. "I think that losing Suzi (Raymont) and Nikki (White)
Before her injury, Raymant had worked her way into the Kansas record book, ranking fourth in three-point field goals with 63 and third in three-point shooting percentage, making 36.9 percent of her attempts. As a junior, she shot 41.9 percent from three-point range, which ranked her third on the individual season charts.
was part of the problem. When you are averaging 63 points per game, and you have a player sitting on the sidelines who averages 15 points per game, you really miss her."
"I have been working out all summer, and I think I am at about 90 percent."
Last season, Raymant, a senior guard, was forced to take a medical redshirt after she tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee in November.
This season, Raymant said that she would like to return the outside shooting threat to Kansas.
Without an outside shooting threat to spread out the offense last season. Kansas struggled to score as its opposition was able to focus on shutting down Lynn Pride.
"Last season, we had to concentrate on our defense and keep the gap close." Washington said. "The most exciting thing about this season is that we will have more opportunities to score and keep the defense from concentrating on Lynn."
Raymant said. "I have been shooting every day, and I think I have my shot back. I plan to be 100 percent by the time we begin our Big 12 schedule."
White, a sophomore center, took a medical redshirt last season to rehabilitate her knee after off-season surgery.
This season, White will replace Nakia Sanford in the center position.
"Right now, I think she is at about 80-65 percent." Washington said. "She is strug
gling to retrain herself to run without favoring her one leg, but I think she will do well for us."
One factor that remains consistent among the Big 12 teams is that they are dominated by talented seniors such as Edwina Brown of Texas, Stacy Freese of Iowa State and Lynn Pride of Kansas.
Washington said that Kansas seniors Pride and Raymant had enough talent to be mentioned with the conference's top seniors.
"The seniors are very important to this team." Washington said. "We have a very strong class of seniors, but they are two different kinds of leaders. Suzi doesn't say much, but when she does, it is very meaningful. She leads through actions, whereas Lynn leads vocally."
Tables turning Baseball fans forgive Rose, forget crimes
Somehow it all got turned around<sup>a</sup>
So to Gray, he was just doing his job when he asked Rose why he wouldn't
When NBC reporter Jim Gray interviewed baseball hit/bet kit Pete Rose Sunday night before Game 2 of the World Series in Atlanta, he became the bad guy. Gray has a reputation for asking hard questions. He even won a Sports Emmy for his postgame interview of Mike Tyson after the Bite Fight against Evander Holyfield.

admit to betting on baseball and end get this banned-for-life thing. He asked the man who earlier that day had signed for money at a casino if he were "willing to show contition, admit you bet on baseball and make some sort of apology to that effect?"
Never mind that such a move is what most experts think Rose will have to do
Sam Mellinger sports columnist sport@kanan.com
to have his ban from baseball lifted,
thus making himself eligible for the Hall of Fame. Never mind that his acceptance of the lifetime ban made him an outcast 10 years ago. Never mind that after it became widely thought that Rose not only bet on baseball quite often but also bet on games he managed as many as 50 times. Rose was a joke. He was embarrassing and pathetic and had a problem that he wouldn't fess up to. Later, when he served time in jail for tax evasion, this thought was just intensified.
Now Rose is in the spotlight again.
He does radio shows, TV interview shows, autograph shows. He talks to people about how much he loves the game, how hard he played it, how much it means to him. He tells them how much it hurts to be banned, how unfair it is that he is singled out.
And we buy it, every bit of it. Eat it up like mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving. Amazing what time can heal. huh?
Fast forward to Sunday night. Rose is treated like a king during the introduction of Baseball's All-Century team, a cheesy made-for-MasterCard promotion. Rose even received a longer and louder ovation than Atlanta's own Hank Aaron, the home run king.
All seemed to have been forgiven until Gray had the nerve to put this night in perspective. After Rose's cold response to the first question, Gray didn't give up.
"With the overwhelming evidence in that report, why not make that step?"
in a report, why not make that step?" Rose: "No ... I don't know what evidence you're talking about. I mean, show it to me."
Are you kidding me? What evidence?
Show it to me? How about the 200-andsome page report complete with betting slips and bank records. Is that enough?
Ah, but that's missing the point. The point is that Rose's crime — which 10 years ago made him scum and unworthy ever to be involved in Major League Baseball — has been forgiven.
The image of Rose as "the dirty gambler" has been blurred. That footage doesn't run on television anymore. But the highlights of his head-first slides and his all-out style of play: Those still run.
Read a story about Rose, and you're probably numb to his gambling. But you'll remember the part where it calls him "baseball's all-time hit king."
Somehow, it got turned around. Gray's honest questions on Sunday to an ex-con were "too harsh." "Give the guy a break," people say.
Amazing what time can heal, huh.

Taurus: Todav is an 8.
Gemini: Today is a 5.
If you're wise, you'll spend the whole day cutting coupons and finding the best deals. If you plan you next buying trip carefully, you'll save a lot of money. Scope everything out now; shop tomorrow or the next day.
You're most effective early in the day. You'll be mentally quick then, too. The situation is changing rapidly, so get as much as you can done ahead of time. Curtail the conversation, too. You may get a chance to take on more work later, which could mean more money.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
You're getting stronger. Small details need your attention, however. They're a nuisance, but you'll be glad they are done. Travel and romance look good for later tonight and tomorrow.
Leo: Today is a 5.
Get together with your crew early in the day. Check your messages. You need the information you'll be gathering, and you won't have time to get it later. You'll have to make decisions quickly, and it'll help if you know what you're talking about.
Virao: Today is a 7.
A hassle will calm down to a steady roar pretty soon, so don't worry. Even if things seem to be falling apart, the result will be positive. No need for you to get too stressed. Don't let your nerves add to the problem; that's no fun!
Libra: Today is a 6.
Your day starts out fine, but the pressure increases. Make sure you're well prepared for whatever's likely to come up. This is not going to be a difficult test unless you're totally spaced out. So, don't let that happen!

Saagittarius: Today is a 5.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
So it will be easier to get your way, so think about what you want. You don't have trouble asking other people to do things for you, but sometimes they resist. Well, that's less likely to happen this evening. Plan accordingly.
Aquarius: Today is a 5.
The first part of the day looks interesting, although somewhat competitive. You'll have to prove that you know what you're talking about. The stakes get higher as the day goes on. The first part of the day looks like practice for the latter. Look sharp.
Pisces: Today is an 8.
A connection early in the day could be quite pleasant. If you get the opportunity, do not procrastinate. Don't make a date for tonight, however. You won't have either time or energy left by then.
Today you're so busy that you could almost stress out. Try not to let that happen. Get somebody to help, instead. It's not a crime to ask for help although sometimes you think it is. Even if you have to pay them, it could be worth the money. Why get sick over this?
You might be in the mood to change things around. That's not a bad idea. It could work out well for you. Do it soon, however. You'll be in the mood for love later on tonight. Set the stage so you can relax.

U.S. drug adviser favors agency separate from IOO
BRUSSELS, Belgium — The White House drug adviser yesterday derided as "cray" the IOC's plan for a drug agency. He said the proposal showed the organization had yet to change its autocratic ways.
Barry McCaffrey, head of the U.S. drug policy office, spoke at the European Union's headquarters in support of an independent agency to combat the use of performance-enhancing drugs in sports.
He said the IOC agency, which could start as early as Nov. 10, would undercut democratic decision-making and the input of governments.
"This is nuts," he said in an interview with The Associated Press. Twenty-six nations are to discuss
drugs and sports at meetings in Australia on Nov. 14-17. McCaffrey said that would be the ideal time to discuss a drug agency. He called the IOC's plans to pre-empt that meeting unacceptable.

"I would like to (play again) if it's appropriate," the San Francisco 49ers quarterback said at a news conference yesterday. "Yet it very well might not happen this season. If time runs out on the season, so be it."
Agent Leigh Steinberg said Tuesday he didn't think Young, still bothered by post-concussion symptoms, would play again this year. The team and Young's doctors appear to feel the same way.
Although the possibility was raised earlier that he would go on injured reserve yesterday, that didn't happen.
By going on injured reserve, though, he could get treatment while remaining with the team as a locker room and sideline presence and mentor to his replacement, Jeff Garcia.

Police arrested Coleman on drunk en-driving charges and took him to
the hospital, where he was treated for cuts on his nose and forehead and released. Information on his blood-alcohol level wasn't immediately available.
The 31-year-old Recasner had a partially collapsed lung and a badly bruised chest and shoulder. He will remain in the hospital for a few days, team representative Harold Kaufman said. The third passenger in the car, Ebony Kimbrough, 25, was in fair condition.

IRVING, Texas — The neck injury that has sidelined Michael Irvin is no longer his biggest hurdle in returning to the Dallas Cowbirds.
Tests for the herniated disc Iruv sustained earlier this month have uncovered a narrow spinal cord, a genetic condition that increases risk of serious injury if he takes another blow to the head or neck.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the threat posed by Irvin's condition would have more to do with whether the receiver plays football again than his current injury.
"I don't see this necessarily as totally being decided by whether the swelling goes down or not," Jones said. "Right now, I don't know if that's the issue."
The risk is the same the 33-year-old Irvin has faced throughout his 12-year career. What's different now is that he knows it exists. And, still fresh in his mind is the memory of being paralyzed for a few minutes following the Oct. 10 injury against Philadelphia.
"I think Michael definitely needs to do what's best for him and his family," running back Emmitt Smith said. "I think he understands the
risk. Now he just has to figure out whether he feels like he can get back and play to his capabilities without hindering himself."
It's a lot for Irvin to think about, but he doesn't need to decide anything immediately.
"The level of speculation as to 'Can he get back this year?' Can he get back in his career?' is exactly the same as it was the day after his injury. That has not changed," Jones said. "This thing could be so subjective that you're not going to have a definitive answer at any particular time."
Washington expects more scoring chances
Continued from page 1B
Pride said that she was taking this role seriously, especially when it came to Iowa State, the top-ranked team in the Big 12 preseason coaches' poll.
Last season, Iowa State beat Kansas three times, and Iowa State returned all five of its starters, making it one of the conference's hottest teams.
"I think they are getting the recognition they deserve, but I feel that we are able to compete with anyone on any given day," Pride said. "The conference is wide-open at this point. I
have to step up as a leader to show my team that we can compete with the top schools. I have to become more vocal on that level."
Pride's goals do not stop at defeating Iowa State and winning the Big 12. She said she hoped to lead the team much further than that.
"I am very excited to go out and start playing because I think a lot of people underestimate this team," Pride said. "I can't wait to go out and prove that we are for real. I want to make it to the Final Four. That is my goal."

Williams says play to decide starting lineup
Coach's picks will be based on performance
By Matt Tait sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
If you have an idea who the Jayhawks' starting five should be when the 1999-2000 Kansas basketball season opens Nov. 19 at home against Fairfield, you're one step ahead of men's coach Roy Williams.
As practices jump into full swing, Williams said that composing a starting lineup was the last thing on his mind.
"I haven't put together any combinations or anything like that yet, and I probably won't this week." Williams said. "I've changed the lineup every single day."
The reason Williams has this allowance is that this year's squad has a lot of depth. Despite having 14 players on the team who could start at many other schools, Williams said that he realized they could not be used all at once.
"You only play five at a time," Williams said. "If I could play 10 at a time, I'd be even more excited. Depth is something that really comes into play with injuries."
Depth became important recently as junior forward Luke Axtell broke a bone in his left hand and is expected to miss the next two weeks. Williams said that the injury depleted the depth for now, but that depth was still a strong point of the team.
"Not as much without Luke, for example, but I still think it's got to be a strength of this team," Williams said. "If I had
to pick two, I would say the depth is a strength for us and our size."
Size certainly is something the Jayhawks have an abundance of as they have seven players listed at 6-foot-8 or taller.
"I'm really, really pleased with how hard they've been working." Williams said. "They're not playing very intelligent right now. Our better teams have always been teams that played really hard and extremely smart. It remains to be seen if this group can do both."
As for the first couple of weeks of practice, Williams said that he was pleased with what he has seen, but that there were still some things that needed to be worked out.
Axtell, who has been limited to watching practice the last couple of days, said that practices were going well.
"I just try to pick up on what Coach Williams is teaching," Axtell said. "He hasn't added any new stuff yet — it's all been the same — but the new stuff is coming."
The new stuff he referred to came from Williams' desire to find a new style of offense this season. He said that with so many post players it had become his job to develop a way to get the ball to all of their big guys.
As for the lineup, Williams said that he hoped it was something that would be determined in practice by the players — not by him.
"Players determine who plays, not coaches," Williams said. "I want them to determine that."
The first chance to see Kansas' starting lineup will come Nov. 6 as the Jayhawks open preseason play at home against the California All-Stars.
Fambrough's heart on field with 'Hawks
Edited by Chris Hutchison
It was the best birthday present Don Fambrough could have received — even if it was four days late.
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
8v Mike Miller
Fambrough, a former Kansas football player and coach, relishes any Kansas victory against Missouri, and Saturday was no different. The 21-0 triumph left him in tears after the game, smiling and hugging Kansas coach Terry Allen and his players.
"Outside of my wife, nothing could be sweeter," he said.
It was a good day.
Though his disgust for the Tigers has its roots — a long story that began in 1946 — his devotion to Kansas football might be deeper. At 77, Fambrough has been retired for 12 years, yet he spends every day of the football season with the Jayhawks at practice, at games or watching them on television.
"I love football," he said. "Some people use their retirement to play golf. I go down to practice every day.
"A lot of people might just think I'm senile, but I can use my retirement any way I want to." Fambrough said. "That's the advantage of being old."
In the off season, he watches John Wayne movies — he always wins, Fambrough says with a grin — and waits for fall.
But he must have seen a little John Wayne in the Jayhawks last week, because he knew they were going to beat the Tigers.
"I went down there Tuesday, and Coach Allen was having them scrimmage," he said. "Well, they went at it, and I went home and told my wife that the fur was flying, and they were going to be ready for Saturday."
Coach Allen knew the importance of Saturday's game went beyond another Kansas win. He had college football Hall-of-Fame players Gale Sayers and John Hadl speak to the team before the game, and the 1968-69 Kansas team that played in the Orange
WHAT TO DO?
A player should be sweet against the team that most of the older Kansas fans and players despised — especially Fambrough.
Bowl was being honored at halftime.
"I don't know what Missouri did to him in the past, but it must've been pretty bad," fullback Tyrus Fontenot said. "He was really emotional about this game."
86
When Fambrough was enticed to come to Kansas in 1946 by Kansas legend Ray Evans — Fambrough is a Texan by birth but a Kansan by heart
— he said it was one of the best declisions he ever made. It also marked the beginning of his disgust for Missouri.

Because of World War II, the NCAA granted freshmen eligibility to play another year, which gave Fambrough an opportunity to play.
Kansas was 7-2 going into the final game of the season, but as Fambrough tells it, Missouri complained to the NCAA and the freshmen eligibility was stripped. The Kansas chancellor
at the time, Deane W. Malott, wanted Kansas to leave the Big Seven Conference rather than let Missouri win the game.
"Well, the five of us, we went to the chancellor and told him that we'd sit out the game." Fambrough said. "We didn't want Kansas to drop out of the conference."
From there, Fambrough has learned to despise the Tigers. It doesn't help that Missouri fans have felt Kansas players, fans and band members with bottles.
"They're real easy to dislike that way," he said. Fambrough played when football players played both offense and defense, and most of the players were about six foot, 200 pounds.
"Now you've got these huge 300-pounders," he said. "But I'm not sure they could go both ways."
Fambrough, a two-time All-Conference guard, also
played middle linebacker and kicked for Kansas.
"I had to practice extra points after practice when everybody left," he said. "My range was about ten yards, but that's because I was too tired to kick."
He later would coach at Kansas from 1971 to 1974 and from '79 to '82, guiding the Jayhawks to the 1973 Liberty Bowl and the 1981 Hall of Fame Bowl. He was named the Big 8 Conference coach of the year in $^{11}$
He said he hoped Allen would let him remain close to the teams because he enjoyed being around the players.
"That's something a lot of young coaches would resent." Fambrough said. "I'm very fortunate that he makes me feel like I'm part of the team."
Regardless of what coach is here, Fambrough's heart always will be the same place — on the football field with the Hawks.

Parker's return strengthens Chiefs offensive line
The Associated Press
And that's why tackle Glenn Parker's return is so important to a Kansas City Chiefs offensive line that has been shuffling its left side because of injuries.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Big and tough offensive citymen like their actions to speak louder than their words — especially on the field.

"It's very important," center Tim Grunhard said. "I've played with these guys a lot of years. "There are so many unspoken things you can do with these
Parker has missed two games at left tackle with an elbow injury. Left guard Dave Szott also has missed time.
Injuries to the line this year come after Szott went down for the entire season last year and other injuries forced the Chiefs to shuttle players in and out, and guard Will Shields.
Grunnhard and guard Will Shields have been the only real stability, having started 102 and 101 consecutive
"It's important to be together just in the way we can communicate and get things done," Parker said. "It helps our confidence. If everybody is not on the same page, running backs start getting smashed up, beat up, and they get upset."
The line comes together just in time to face one of the best run defenses in the league: San Diego. The Chargers are allowing just 2.9 yards per carry and have not given up a 100-yard game to a rusher in 25 games.
"We know if we're going to do something this year it starts with us." Chargers linebacker Junior Seau said. "We limit the average per carry. We'll allow you three yards, two yards and three yards, but it's still fourth down. We're not going to let you have big spurs and run through us. If you're going to run 40 times, you're going to get 100 yards, but it's yards per carry that are going to be down."
The Chargers won the first game between the two AFC West rivals in San Diego.

New York fans celebrate 1999 World Series sweep
By Jason Walker
by Jason Walker
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Even in Kansas, Yankee pintripes were the uniform last night.
The New York Yankees defeated the Atlanta Braves 4-1 last night and claimed the 1999 World Series title. It was their third in the last four years under manager Joe Torre and the 25th in team history, the most by any major league team.
Yankee fans in Lawrence watched the game at home or at local bars, hoping for a sweep in the series against the Braves, who had the best regular-season record in the majors.
Corey Hoover, Wichita junior,
watched the game at Sports Page
Brewery, 3512 Clinton Parkway. He said that the sweep by the Yankees was impressive because of the caliber team they faced in the Braves.
"It's incredible that they took them in four games straight," he said. "Especially in the World Series."
Hoover said that he considered the Yankees the team of the decade
"How could they not be?" he said.
"They're the all-American team."
Kevin Neimor, Milwaukee senior, watched the game at Duffy's, 2222 W. 6th St. He said that he had been a Yankees fan since he was 4 years old, and that he loved seeing them take another World Series title.
"Oh man, I've liked them forever," he said. "I was with them
through thick and thin, when they weren't so good in the '80s, to the '90s when they got better. Ever since I saw them play with guys like Don Mattingly and Ron Guidry, I was hooked."
Neimor said there was no question in his mind who was the best team in the 1990s.
"They're by far the team of the decade," he said. "They're the team of the decade, century and millennium."
Neimor said he didn't know what next season held in store for his beloved Yanks, but he hoped for the best.
"I'm making no predictions," he said. "Anything can happen. If they play with a lot of heart, they can do anything."

Clemens slays Series demons; Rivera gets MVP
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The Rocket can rest now. The ring is his.
Roger Clemens pitched the New York Yankees to their secondstraight World Series sweep, shutting down the Atlanta Braves 4-1 last night and ending his quest for the one and only prize that eluded him.
"This must be what it's like to be a Yankee." Clemens said.
With raucous fans waving yellow, plastic brooms all over the ballpark and Clemens bouncing around on the mound, the Yankees won their record 25th championship and third in four seasons.
Yankees take their 25th title
Game 4 marked New York's 12th Series victory in a row, matching the mark set by its Murders' Row
teams.
Clemens waited his entire career for this moment and, at last, commanded the October stage. Showing the form that earned him five Cy Young Awards and 247 wins in 16 seasons, Clemens shut out Atlanta into the eighth to outduel John Smoltz.
Brought to the Bronx this spring from Toronto in a trade for David Wells that many Yankees fans disliked, Clemens walked off the mound to rousing cheers, tipping his cap and holding both hands high to acknowledge the ovation.
Mariano Rivera, who had two saves and a win in the Series, was selected MVP.
"I wasn't thinking about it," he said.
"It just happens."
For Atlanta, the game's loss was its record-tying eighth straight in the Series, a string that began in 1996 against the Yankees. It surely was a bitter disappointment for the Braves and manager Bobby Cox.
"I think they think in their minds that they had a tremendous year
with all the ball club went through," Cox said. "They're disappointed just like I am."
After winning the title in 1996, they had "Team of the 90s" engraved on their rings. Instead, they joined the New York Giants of 1910-19 as the only teams ever to lose four World Series in a decade.
Clemens and the sellout crowd of 56,752 fans, meanwhile, basked in pintripped glory after taking an early 3-10 lead. At 37, he won his first championship — John Elway was the same age when he won his first Super Bowl.
Featuring a fastball in the mid-90s mph, Clemens struck out four and walked two in his first World Series victory — he got two no-decisions in 1986 when his Boston Red Sox blew it against the New York Mets.
The Yankees finished off a week in which they simply overwhelmed the club that had best record in the majors and accomplished a lot more along the way. They became baseball's first repeat champion since Toronto in 1992-93.

The feat was something that escaped Ryn's grasp of just how truly amazing it was. As a senior, Ryun set ran his fastest high school mile ever — 3:55.00.
"Coach Timmons coached me not only mentally and physically, but ultimately spiritually as well." Ryun said. "He knew it was an enormous challenge, and it would take everything to get there."
Despite the tremendous amount of attention Ryan's accomplishments received, Timmons said that Ryun kept a level head and took it all in stride.
In 1964 Ryun made the U.S. Olympic track team while still an 18-year-old high school student. Ryun competed in the 1500 meters at the Olympics in Tokyo but did not qualify.
In 1964, Ryun eclipsed the four minute mark for the first time in high school sports history - 3:59:00.

After the '64 Olympics, Ryun enrolled at Kansas and was reuilted with Timmons, who had been hired as the Jayhawks assistant track coach. At that time, freshmen still were ineligible to race with the varsity team, but Ryun did not let that stop him from running. He ran as an unaffiliated athlete and quickly drew notice of the University.

Ryun's name quickly became familiar at Kansas. While crowds at track meets and at the nationally known Kansas Relays came to watch a 19-year-old Ryun run, he still had yet to run competitively as a Jayhawk. Thousands of spectators attended Ryun's training sessions for the 1968 Olympics.

"He had tremendous pull and appeal to get the fans — something track and field was not used to," Falkenstein said.
"He was a very shy person, and he did not like dealing with the media," Falkenstein said. "That made life difficult for him — he received a tremendous amount of attention."
Falkenstein recalls a time when 32,000 people watched Ryun run in the U.S. Olympic Trials.
After qualifying for the Olympics in '68, Ryun overcame a bout with mononucleosis and battled Mexico
By 1969, at the mere age of 22, Ryun's face had been plastered on the cover of several sports magazines and track publications, but fame was something that Ryun did not relish.
"His picture was on Sports Illustrated four or five times, and he couldn't deal with that." Timmons said. "He was very humble and to this day his humility is still there."
Ryun qualified for the U.S. team, again at the 1,500 meters. This time, however, during the qualifying race Ryun was nudged and fell to the track — ending his medal hopes and his Olympic career.

In 1969, Ryun's last year at Kansas, he was plagued with injuries and illness. Ryun's years of racing at a high level had begun to catch up with him. He walked off the track at several events that year including the Drake Relays, the NCAA Outdoor Championships and the National AAU Meet. In the same year, Ryun decided to retire from racing.
"I couldn't have run a better race as far as I am concerned," he said after the race.
Fortunately for the track and field world, after all Ryun had been through, his love for running propelled him to make a comeback from his retirement and give the 1972 Olympics in Munich, Germany. a shot.

He posted a time of 3:37:07 and lost by almost three seconds, but Ryan said that was the best he could do.

Currently he lives in Lawrence, owns a farm south of town and is working with high school students in programs to help them become great runners. Also, in 1996, Ryun was elected on the Republican ticket to the U.S. House of Representatives in the Kansas' second district and was re-elected in 1998.
In 1973, Ryun continued his competitive desire during a stint in a professional league.
This past year Ryun, along with his son Drew, a senior at Kansas, his daughter, and his son all formed a team that ran in the annual Capitol Hill Challenge.
Since he has been in office, Ryun said that his running has been limited to the early morning hours and was mainly for fitness. However, Ryun's competitive fire that was lit by Timmons in the 1960s still burns.
Naturally, Ryun's team won the race. And, in a sense, he still was representing Kansas, a place he always will be proud of.
"Once you've been to the University and been through the experience, you'll always be a Jayhawk," Ryun said.

Women rally against abuse offering hope
By Erinn R. Barcomb

Kansan staff writer
Celia Shacklett put the feeling of last night's Womyn Take Back the Night into words. Accompanied by her acoustic guitar, she sang the lines, "Darkness doesn't always mean night."
The 12th annual rally brought together about 300 members of the community hoping to reclaim the night from violence against women and children.
Shacklett was one of three local artists who performed at the South Park gazebo at the start of the rally.
"The first year I was reluctant but this year I'm so pumped," she said.
Melineh Kurdian and Becky Farris performed original music in a reminiscent of the Indigo Girls.
"Even though I'm a senior at KU, this year is my first Womyn Take Back the Night, and it's beautiful." Kurdian said.
The duo performed *She Is Us*, a song written with the march in mind. During their last piece, Fill Me Up, several women in last year's purple Womyn Take Back the Night T-shirts and yellow arm bands danced around the gazebo. The women, with a raised fist in the middle, held up a large white sheet that had a spray-painted female symbol on it.
The event also included speeches. Kathy Rose-Mockry, director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said that while one in four college

Haunted house spreads messages of fear and Jesus

Blood, guts and Jesus.
Down the street from the flashing neon signs and huge lines at The Beast and The Edge of Hell haunted houses, Pastor Dave Muolo stands outside a modest establishment, Nightmare on 13th Street. Kansas City's newest haunted house has the traditional strobe lights, dark corridors and fake smoke, but it also has a message.
"We share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with everyone who walks through the backdoor," Muolo said. "For a Christian, it's bungee jump Christianity. It's not just 'Kumbaya.'"
Nightmare on 13th Street, a nonprofit haunted house, opened its doors for the first time last night. Problems obtaining parking and building permits forced the house to keep its gates to hell closed in past weeks. This weekend the house is up and running, and spreading the gospel to anyone older than 12 years old and willing to pay the $10 entry fee.
Last night's patrons were on the young side. The throng of junior high youth group members pushed and giggled their way to the front of the line. The giggling stopped momentarily as the tour began.
"You'll like this man," Muolo said before entering the house. "It starts off, 'Hello, this is not where you want to be.'"
The scene of drugs, decay and miscarriage that greeted Nightmare patrons certainly wasn't inviting. A bloody woman screamed, "My baby! My baby!" The girl next to her was slumped in a chair, catatonic, covered with rats. The walls were scrawled with words such as "sex." "heres" and "Limp Bizkit."
Muolo said that the haunted house and his church. Revival Generation, of
Blue Springs, Mo., targeted young people. He said that he believed America was one nation under God.
"It's almost anti-God in school," he said. "They don't get to hear anything in school even though we're a Christian country. We wanted to get it out where they'd come."
Whether they will come is yet to be seen, but Muolo said that when he visited The Nightmare in Tulsa, Okla., which was a model for the Kansas City house, 3,000 young people waited outside the doors.
The house deals with real-life horrors such as drugs, drinking, violence and suicide, acted out by volunteers from seven supporting churches.
Muolo said that he didn't think any of the scenes were inappropriate for youngsters. He said that 12-year-olds

probably had seen all of these things before and if they hadn't, they should. He said he didn't agree with those who thought a church shouldn't stage a haunted house.
"OK, I'll go sing 'Kumbaya' and 'Amazing Grace' to Generation X who couldn't give a rip about Jesus," he said. mockingly.
The second room was a standard driver's education cautionary movie scene. A bloody arm hung out of a car that had crashed into a house strewn with Christmas lights.
The next room was straight out of newspaper headlines. As patrons filed into a classroom setting, two young men toting semi-automatic guns stormed around

Lawrence police to auction found property, evidence
The Lawrence Police Department is holding its Annual Found Property and Evidence Auction at 11 a.m. Sunday
at Fifth and Mississippi streets
More than 60 bicycles will be up for bid as well as cameras, cell phones, electronics, stereo equipment, tools, jewelry, Nintendo games, golf clubs and an assortment of other items.
"It's kind of a potpourri of stuff," said Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence police.
All of the items have come to the police department as either found property or evidence. Wheeler said that the department held onto found property for six months and evidence for one year. After that, they auction off the items, and the proceeds go to the city.
Wheeler said the auction was a great chance to find deals on all types of merchandise.
"I've seen $300 to $400 bicycles go for $50," he said.
Bidders can inspect the merchandise starting at 10 a.m., and a complete listing of items is available on the third floor of City Hall.

Newspapers oppose sealed court records
MCPHERSON—Three Kansas newspapers and the Kansas Press Association have objected to a judge's order sealing court records in a high-profile case of a Lindsborg man accused of killing his three children.
A motion filed Wednesday in McPherson County District Court says the sealing of court records would hinder the newspapers' efforts to inform the public.
The three newspapers are the Hutchinson News, Salina Journal and The Wichita Eagle.
McPherson County District Court Judge Carl B. Anderson ordered lawyers in the case to file all motions directly with his office instead of the district court clerk's office and instructed attorneys not to release any court documents to the media. Anderson said he wanted to review all motions before releasing them
Christopher E. Jones is accused of killing his 2-, 5, and 7-year-old children Oct. 6 and attacking his wife.
Prosecutors from the Kansas Attorney General's office charged the 46-year-old with three counts of first-degree murder in the children's deaths and one count of aggravated battery for an alleged attack on his wife. Catherine Jones.
Investigators from the start referred all questions to the attorney general's office, which largely has remained quiet about the case. For example, information about how the children were killed still has not been released.
In the brief filed with the newspapers' motion, attorney Michael Merriam said Anderson's order should be lifted because it hasn't been shown that
media coverage would prejudice the defendant's right to a fair trial.
Two Blue Angel pilots killed in training crash
NATION
MOODY AIR FORCE BASE, Ga.—A jet from the Navy's Blue Angels precision flying team crashed yesterday while trying to land during a training flight, killing two team members.
Cmdr. Jack Papp, a Navy representative in Pensacola, Fla., where the Blue Angels are based, confirmed the deaths. No names were released pending notification of relatives.
Ken Bacon, Pentagon representative in Washington, said that the accident took place about 11:30 a.m. yesterday while the jets were practicing maneuvers and landing.
"The Navy does not yet have a clear picture of what happened," he said.
The stunt team has six F/A-18 jets and is based at the Pensacola Naval Air Station.
The crash happened near Moody Air Force Base, where the Blue Angels were scheduled to perform this weekend during the base's Community Appreciation Day.
The last crash involving the Navy's high-precision flying team occurred in 1990, and the last fatality occurred on July 13, 1985, in Niagara Falls, N.Y., when Lt. Cmdr. Michael Gershon died in a fiery crash after two planes collided during an air show.
Yesterday's fatalities brought the number of pilots killed in air shows or training to 23 since the group was formed in 1946.
Return of standard time to take place on Sunday
WASHINGTON— Just in time for the tiny goblins to go trick-or-treating, dark will come an hour earlier Sunday with the return of standard time.
Because of the early darkness, safety experts are urging extra caution for drivers and pedestrians.
For one night, the shift will give people an extra hour of sleep as clocks are set back one hour at 2 a.m.
Sunday, local time.
The change also moves an hour of darkness to the evening, meaning brighter early mornings.
It also means this is the weekend some people get stuck working an extra hour — factory workers on the overnight shift, all night convenience store clerks, bartenders, police and even some news reporters.
For most people, though, it simply means having to remember to set the clock back an hour — that's right, back — before retiring Saturday night.

"You think this is funny?" one gumman yelled. Minutes later, as students begged for their lives, a gumman shot a girl in the head. The youth group kids were silent.
"The classroom shooting showed that life can be over in just a second and that we do need to look at our lives and ask ourselves, if we have lived a life worth living, should we die tomorrow?" said Alec Miller, Des Moines, Iowa, junior, who toured the house.
While much of the house dealt with societal issues, the end was decidedly Christian. One room depicted hell, complete with prisoners in cages, random limbs, screaming and a devil narrating the scene.
"I seek out fools to devour," he said. "And we thought I only had one holiday."
At the end of hell, a circus announcer introduced the man of the evening. Jesus. A modern-day beating, crucifixion and resurrection wrapped up the house of horrors before patrons stepped outside and were greeted by church members asking about their personal relationship with Jesus.
At the end of the tour, Miller said he was torn.

KU kidney research to expand
Med Center awarded grant worth $5 million
By Todd Halstead
By Todd Halstead
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Researchers at the University of Kansas Medical Center were awarded $5 million this month in the form of a five-year grant by the National Institutes of Health to study the most common life-threatening genetic disease — polycystic kidney disease.
"It will really help," said Robin Maser, research assistant professor of biochemistry and molecular biology. "The money will enable researchers to collaborate together on research."
The disease, referred to as PKD, causes cysts to develop on both kidneys.
Cysts range in size from that of a pinhead to a large grapefruit. Research showed that more than 60 percent of PKD cases would lead to renal failure.
Maser said that between 12 and 15 million people were affected by PKD,
making the disorder more prevalent than cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, hemophilia, Down's syndrome and sickle cell anemia combined. She said that one in 500 people had the dominant gene that could result in PKD and that two genes — PKD1 and PKD2 — recently had been identified as possible culprits.
The grant was awarded by NIH's National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases in collaboration with the Polycystic Kidney Research Foundation. The Kansas City, Mo., foundation is geared entirely toward PKD research. The grant will subsidize research on five different areas and one pilot project. Each of the areas will investigate various details concerning the disease, from gene mutations in primitive organisms to the cause of cysts in mammals.
"Finding a cure for PKD will be long-term," Maser said. "We don't expect to find a cure in five years, but we hope that the research in the short-term will lead to better therapies."
She said that kidney dialysis and
transplantation were the only treatments now available for PKD.
Maser said that almost 10 percent of the money spent on kidney dialysis went to treat patients with PKD.
To study the hypothesis, a PKD1 gene mutation will be caused in mice, and at a later point a second mutation will be induced externally to determine if outside factors were needed to cause the disease.
Kenneth Peterson, principal investigator in the pilot project, said he was involved in researching a theory that the disease was caused by internal and external forces.
"We hope that by understanding the cause of the disease, we might be able to find points to intervene and treat it," Peterson said.
"I'm testing the two-hit hypothesis," said Peterson, associate professor of biochemistry and molecular biology. "It actually takes two mutations to cause the disease, one inherited and one external cause where both alleles are mutated."

women would be the target of sexual abuse, emerging programs could offer hope.
Sharon Levin, co-editor of The Liberty Press, spoke about a type of abuse rarely discussed.
"For three long years," she said, "I was beaten and abused repeatedly in my home by my girlfriend."
Levin said she didn't tell anyone because she wanted heterosexuals to see her relationship as a positive example.
The organization Foods Not Bombs served dinner before the performances and speeches, and booths from community organizations circled the park.
Lisa Miller, volunteer for the Douglas County AIDS Project, said the organization's booth offered a convenient way to get information without a lot of questions.

The project is a visual testament to violence against women and children. T-shirts were color-coded to designate types of abuse and offered messages such as, "Sweet 16: Her favorite uncle beat her, raped her, knifed her."

At 8 p.m., the women went to Watson Park, between Kentucky and Tennessee streets, to conduct the women's circle. In the circle, the women could tell their stories of abuse and even name their abuser.
In addition to the advocates trained to deal with abused women, substance- abuse advocates were on the site this year for the first time.
The men stayed behind at the gazebo for the men's circle, led by Robert Minor, professor of religious studies.
Minor said the men's circle was important because it allowed women to take back the night without men playing the rescuer.
Following the circles, the women marched back to South Park down Massachusetts Street. The event finished with women demanding an end to violence against women and children.

Art museum to exhibit photos from Cambodian killing fields
Erinn R. Barcomb
Special to the Kansan
Visitors to the Spencer Museum of Art will look death in the eye during a photography exhibit that begins tomorrow.
"Facing Death: Portraits from Cambodia's Killing Fields" features photographs of political prisoners minutes before their torture and execution.
"They are strange photographs to see in an art museum," said John Pultz, curator of photography for the art museum. "Museums have embraced all sorts of photographs. I had seen about 22 of them at the Museum of Modern Art in New York."
The collection of 100 prints, on loan from the Photographic Resource Center at Boston University, will be shown at the Kress Gallery until Dec. 19.
Two American photojournalists cleaned up nearly 6,000 black and white negatives in 1994. The negatives had been kept in S21, a Cambodian prison until 1979 when the Vietnamese army liberated the prison and made it a museum of genocide.
From 1975 to 1979, Cambodians suspected of betraying leader Pol Pot and his regime, the Khmer Rouge, were sent to S21. A 16-year-old boy took most of the photographs as part of a meticulous record the regime wanted to keep.
"It's a gruesome idea that you make them a kind of record of the people who went on to be executed." Pultz said.
In the photographs the prisoners wear identifying numbers and stare blankly from a plain background.
Some controversy surrounded the exhibit's proposal. Discussions ensued as to whether placing photographs of genocide in an art museum made them art.
"We're not saying they're art," he said. "We're not saying they're beautiful. We're saying they are powerful images that need to be looked at. To not show them is, in some ways, to be collaborating with the genocide."
Although only a few of the 6,000 negatives will be shown at the exhibit, a Web site with 5,000 photographs is available. Pultz stressed the importance of the site, especially for family members trying to locate those who had disappeared.
During the exhibit, a computer in the gallery will be logged on to the site, www.vale.edu/cgp/.
"It's not just about the pictures on the wall," Pulz said. "It's about the 5,000 pictures, and people trying to locate family members."
In addition to the photographs, the art museum will offer other programs relating to the exhibit, including KU Perspectives lectures and tours.
Mike Cuenca, assistant professor of visual communications, knew about the exhibit, but because of the strong content, did not want to use it for his photojournalism class.
"I don't have the guts to go see it myself," he said. "I don't want to go see it, but I’m glad it’s here."
Cuencia said important lessons could be learned by displaying photographs of genocide in an art museum.
"You could criticize the Holocaust Museum for the same thing, but it's incredibly important to learn these lessons," he said. "I don't think we should put them in a box somewhere."

Scratch roughly half the country from his populist cause.
"And every study shows blacks 15 IQ points below whites on average..." Buchanan wrote in a 1971 memo to President Nixon. "If there is no refutation, then it seems to me that a lot of what we are doing in terms of integration of blacks and whites — but even more so, poor and well-to-do, is less likely to result in accommodation than it is in perpetual friction — as the incapable are played consciously by government side by side with the capable."

"We are in the process of destroying the one working economy (in Africa) — because it doesn't adopt an idiotic 'One man, one vote' regimen." Whoops.

Of course, Buchanan doesn't really believe the death camps existed at all. Why? "Diesel engines do not emit enough carbon monoxide to kill anybody," he said in 1990, noting that since children stranded in an auto tunnel had escaped unharmed, Jews could not have been gassed to death.

Jerry Falwell's reconciliation a victory against blind hatred
When Jerry Falwell met with gay Christians last week in the hopes of finding some reconciliation between Falwell's vehement antihomosexual stance and the gay community, a victory was won for those who abhor violence of any kind. While people on both sides of the ideological struggle might find fault with what transpired, there can be no doubt that progress was made.
Meeting with gay Christians helps to reconcile some of Falwell's outlandish beliefs
Falwell has distinguished himself in the past as one of the foremost leaders in a movement that has sought to discredit homosexuals in this country. Through stances as outrageous as the one regarding Tinky Winky of the Teletubbies, Falwell has let it be known that he is a staunch opponent of gay and lesbian sexuality. Last week, Falwell ensured that his name could no longer be associated with those who carry out this anti-gay message to the extreme through acts of violence.
understood by those too ignorant to comprehend and too hateful to care. At the very least, Falwell has let it be known that he does not stand on the side of those whose hatred blinds a respect for humanity.
Too often, figures like Falwell are unaware, or uncaring, about the actions that might be inspired by the vocalization of hatred. While Falwell felt that his past statements had amounted only to a hatred of a behavior and not a hatred of people, this mincing of words could not be
Many feel that Falwell's statements and actions amount to nothing more than an equally disturbing viewpoint on homosexuality. This could not be further from the truth. By meeting with gay Christians, Falwell lessened the impact that his views had thus far carried. Granted it is a small victory, but it is one that must be applauded. In the war against intolerance, even the smallest battles are important.

Mammoth clone too useful to refuse
is it possible that the state Board of Education soon may have an answer to whether evolution really occurred? If some geneticists have their way, so we all may witness an important moment in science and human history.
Several months ago, paleontologists found the remains of a woolly mammoth in the Jarkov permafrost in Siberia. This normally would not be such a significant find, except that the mammoth was uncovered frozen — hair, skin and all. It is quite possibly the largest link to hominids' ancestral past ever discovered.
One of the possibilities (though difficult) stemming from the recovery mission is to clone DNA from the preserved body, creating a new mammoth. Sounds like a movie
Scientific value of cloning mammoth outweighs most people's ethical arguments
The question many people have is;. should we bring back a species that has been extinct for 20,000 years? The answer is difficult with so many unforeseen variables, but it is a solid yes.
Science and humanity would benefit greatly from the genetic research done by re-introducing the species. In the past year, we have seen the cloning of a sheep and human organs. While these had much more practical uses for humans, the mamoth research would allow scientists to perfect the nuclear-transfer
doesn't it?
More likely, however, DNA may be taken directly from the mammoth's sperm cells and combined with an Asian elephant. Long-term selective breeding with the half-species could yield a nearly pure-bred mammoth.
method of cloning from a new species.
It would seem logical that evolutionary biologists would benefit and more information could be provided about a possible ancient food source to our "de-emphasized" ancestors.
Paleobotanists also would benefit from the cloning by analyzing the flora the mammoth consumed in its prime. Microbiologists have a stake in the mammoth, too, as the DNA may yield clues to viral and disease research today.

I was in attendance Saturday at the KU - MU football game. I'm writing this to you today to make an apology for the actions of some of the MU football team during the half-time festivities. Some MU players were practicing punting and snapping while your band and flag team were performing. Unfortunately, these players were occupying part of the playing field. I don't understand why they were on the field, not the sidelines, at that time. I also can't understand why, when your flag team approached, they didn't move out of the way.
MU alumni apologizes
Feedback
I'm a Columbia, MO resident, longtime MU sports fan, and a former University of Missouri student. I've been attending MU football games since 1969. Ive never seen such a display of arrogance or disregard for others as these players put on.
Even the intensity of the MU · KU rivalry doesn't excuse this performance. It was disgusting, regardless of whether you wear black/gold or blue/red. I'm sure that no other MU fan would approve of this type of behavior, either.
A team can win or lose a game with or without class. I'm afraid that we lost this one without showing much (if any) class.
On behalf of the University of Missouri, MU fans everywhere, and the state of Missouri, I apologize for these actions by representatives of MU.
Mr. Foster; please accept this apology and pass this along to your flag team members who were disrupted by our players.
Mr. Frederick; thank you for taking time out of your schedule, to talk with me, and also please accept this apology to you and your institution.

I woke up hung over yesterday morning. (Oh, no, the reader thinks. It's another self-indulgent Kansan column discussing the author's personal life. These are never as interesting as the columnists seem to think they are.) I thought I had been hung over before, but this time was different. The hangover was much worse. (The intrigue continues.

It seems that I am aging. (Hmm, aging. Maybe this is going somewhere. At least that's a popular topic for essayists. Everyone ages. I can relate to that). I didn't think this would happen to me until I was at least in my mid-20s or so, but I just don't have the energy I did three years ago. (Has every one heard that there's a new Indian restaurant opening on 10th Street? I love Indian food, and I was just thinking that it was odd that Lawrence didn't have an Indian restaurant. I hope its menu is affordable). Even as I stay up cramming for a midterm or writing a long paper, I find that around 2 a.m., I am more likely to give up the night and finish it in the morning.

Stull to be guarded on Halloween
Sheriff's officers will turn away demon seekers
THE CHURCH OF THE MARY CATHEDRAL IN JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA.
By Katie Hollar
Kansan staff writer
The gateway to hell at Stull Cemetery might get you into the underworld.
And it definitely will get you a ticket on Halloween.
Stull Cemetery is rumored to be a portal to hell. This weekend, Sheriff's officers will be keeping an eye on the cemetery to prevent trespassing. Photo by Joseph Griffin/KANSAN
Douglas County Sheriff officials will camp out at the cemetery, located off U.S. Highway 40 about 15 minutes west of Lawrence, until 3 a.m. Saturday and Sunday, Capt. Bill Shepard said.
"Their job is just to sit there and keep the goblins away," he said. "Sometimes it's like a parade, turning the cars around all night."
If visitors step into the gated cemetery, Shepard said, they will be cited for criminal trespassing, which can carry a fine of up to $100.
Stull lore abounds on the Internet and in Lawrence legend. An abandoned church sits in the middle of the cemetery and is said to be a portal to hell — one of the few places where the devil appears on Earth.
Shepard said he was skeptical about the devil's campeon in Stuhl.
A Web site devoted to Stull claims the pope called eastern Kansas unholy and says that he would not fly above the area. It also is said that the gothic band The Cure would not perform in Lawrence because of its proximity to Stull.
"I've been going out there for 18 years, and I haven't seen him yet," he said.
Matt McMillan, Mulvane junior, hasn't seen him either. McMillan said he went to the cemetery this summer to see if it lived up to the hype.
"We didn't see anything," McMillan said. "The only spooky
thing we saw was a skunk."
Mewhan said the inside of the famed church was carpeted in broken glass and fragments of the old roof. He said he was not spotted by the Sheriff's patrol.
Karen Knox, Topea senior, said she would never go to the cemetery. And it isn't the sheriff that scares her.
"I'm just a big 'fraidy cat,' she said. "I don't believe all that stuff, but I have a great reverence for what I don't understand."

Rocky Horror still a scream in Lawrence
By Emily Hughey
By Emily Hughey writer @kansan.com
Kansan staff worker
It began in a London theater in 1973 and danced its way to the silver screen two years later. From there, the Rocky Horror Picture Show exploded into American cult hysteria and now, for the 23rd consecutive year, it's coming to the University of Kansas.
Student Union Activities is sponsoring a showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show tomorrow night at the Ballroom in the Kansas Union. The evening will begin at 11 p.m. with a costume contest, followed by a showing of the film at midnight and, from 1:30 to 3 a.m., D.J. Bills, often spins electronic music at the Granada, 1020
Massachusetts St., will play dance music for attendees, Admission is $5.
Darren Shabdach, SUA feature films coordinator, said he thought the Rocky Horror Picture Show, though almost 25 years old, still was a must-see for moviegoers.
“It's an event that needs to be experienced,” said Shabbach, Crystal Lake, Ill., senior. “There are people dressing up in freaky costumes, and the environment is different. People are throwing things at the screen and yelling. It’s not like anything else.”
Kim Fuchs, Merriam junior, said she and her friends used to attend the Rocky Horror Picture Show every weekend because it was unique.
"It was different from anything I'd ever done before," Fuchs said. "It was so unusual, so fun, so interesting. And it was a cultural experience in a strange way."
Marie Dispenza, SUA live music coordinator, booked D.J. Bills to play after the movie because she thought electronic music would be a good accompaniment to the picture show.
"He has the ability to sample bytes into music, so he'll have some from the Rocky Horror Picture Show." Dispenza, Lee's Summit, Mo., sophomore said. "Generally speaking, electronic music seems to be an outcast genre. It tries so hard to be popular, and I think Rocky Horror symbolizes so well that subculture, that idea that there are freaks that come out at night."
Shabdach said SUA spent close to $1,000 to bring the show to the Union, compared to the $800 his
committee spent showing Austin Powers: the Spy Who Shagged Me earlier this month. He said SUA would provide bags of traditional Rocky Horror props, including toast, water guns, surgical gloves and noise makers, to use during the movie. In addition to movie costs, Dispenza said her committee was paying D.J. Bills $200.
Shabdach and Dispenza joined efforts to plan the event. Dispenza said combining committees was a rarity in SUA event planning.
"It's the first time feature films and live music have ever worked together," Dispenza said. "Things work out so much better when there are two coordinators. It's so much better."

Students pose parking problem questions
For Morris Faiman, professor of pharmacology and toxicology, the parking problems that face the University of Kansas are nothing new. Faiman has taught at University for 35 years, and he said he was well aware of the concerns students, faculty and staff had about parking.
By Michael Terry writer @kansan.com Kansan staff writer
In addition to teaching at KU, Faiman has served on the parking board for the past 12 years. This year he is serving as chairman of the parking board, a position he has held numerous times.
In Monday's edition of the University Daily Kansan, an ad ran that asked students, faculty and staff to e-mail questions they had about KU parking. Here are the answers he gave to the most commonly asked questions:
Q: Why does the parking department oversell parking permits?
A: The University has an open sales policy when it comes to buying a parking permit, so anyone at the University can buy one. There are 5,276 yellow spaces at the University, and 6,623 permits were sold this year. That's only a 25.5 percent oversell, and since most students don't stay on campus all day, the best way to maximize parking is to oversell permits to make sure the lots are being utilized. There is a bigger problem with blue and red zone parking. There are 757 spaces in blue lots, but the department has sold 1073 permits, an oversell of 41.7 percent. There are 1392 red spaces, but 1824 permits have been sold, an oversell of 31 percent. The parking board is looking into how these parking ratios can be improved.
Q: How much money does the parking department make each year, and where does the money go?
A: The parking department has generated $2.6 million so far this year from permits, meters, fines and special-event parking. Only $59,800 has come from parking fines. The money generated goes to pay for things such as the bond on the parking garage, which is $450,000 annually until 2009; resurfacing and improvements of lots; and the salaries of the people who work for the department, just to name a few. An important thing to remember is that the parking department is self-supporting. The department does not get any money from the state for the improvement or unkeen of parking facilities.
Q: What is going to happen to the yellow zone parking behind Joseph R. Pearson Hall once the School of Education moves there?
A: The problem with the parking behind Joseph R. Pearson is that 157 new faculty and staff will be moving over there next year into an area that only has 29 red spaces available. There are 258 yellow spaces available over there right now, and some of those will have to be changed. I have appointed a special sub-committee made up of a faculty members from the School of Education, a staff member from Carruth O'Leary and three students. I felt since the students had the most to lose in this area, they deserved to have more representation. The committee will report back to us, and the board will then make the final decision on how the split should go.
Q: Is there someone who oversees the parking board and has the ability to veto its actions?
I am so proud of you.
A: Before any decision that the parking

board makes can go into effect, it must go through a series of checks before being implemented. After the parking board makes a decision, it goes before University Senate, then University Council and finally the Chancellor, who has the final say. During any of these steps, the proposal can be vetoed and returned to the parking board for a reevaluation.
Faiman said it was tough to find people who wanted to serve on the parking board.
"I think Don Kearns (parking director) and Donna Hultine (assistant parking director) do a good job," Faiman said. "We ask them for their experience when it comes to making a decision because they have dealt with these issues for years."
Faiman that anyone with additional questions about parking should call the department.

Officials searching for clues in Stewart's Learjet wreckage
The Associated Press
MINA, S.D.—Federal investigators said yesterday they expected to finish picking up the pieces of golfer Payne Stewart's shattered Learjet by the end of the day, and confirmed they were looking at three other crashes for similarities to this week's tragedy.
About two dozen people wearing plastic bi-hazard suits worked yesterday at the site where Stewart's jet went down Monday after its ghostly autopilot trip halfway across the country. The crater, in a soggy portion of a cow pasture, was a jumble of black dirt surrounded by grass and tall weeds.
All of the wreckage was expected to be removed from the crater yesterday afternoon, said Bob Benzon of the National Transportation Safety Board. Investigators then will spend several days sorting through the pieces in an airport hangar in Aberdeen, S.D., to find parts that may offer clues to what caused the tragedy.
Benzon said investigators particularly were looking for valves and parts of the doors, windows and hydraulic components that could have caused a rapid loss of pressure in the plane's cabin. Some of the parts are only an inch or two across, he said.
"We're looking for little, little parts, like valves," he said.
The cockpit voice recorder was found just before sundown Wednesday, and was expected to arrive at the NTSB's Washington office late yesterday. Benzon said he hoped to get a report this morning about the tape's contents.
"We're looking for unusual noises that may indicate some kind of breach of the hull of the airplane." he said.
The recorder also might contain sounds from the plane's two engines, possibly giving clues as to whether the jet had mechanical problems before the crash. Benzon said.
Government officials have said one possible explanation for the crash is that the jet lost cabin pressure soon after taking off from Florida, causing everyone aboard to die or lose consciousness. That's why investigators are particularly eager to find valves in the wreckage that regulate air pressure.
Benzon said the NTSB was looking into three other cases in the past two decades in which Learjets have been involved in crashes with similarities to Monday's crash.
Yesterday in Houston, Stewart's peers on the professional tour gathered on the first tee of the Champions Golf Club to remember one of the game's most admired fixtures.
In a chilling start to the Tour Championship, a lone bagpiper played Going Home as he marched through fog on the first fairway.
Israel plans to deport doomsday Christians
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM—Israel will deport 17 Americans, two Britons and an Australian suspected of membership in Christian doomsday sects.
A second Australian was released because she already had purchased a plane ticket.
Two Britons were put on a flight to London, and 11 of the Americans were scheduled to depart for New York City early yesterday, police spokesman Rafi Yaffe said. Seven other detainees will be deported in the coming days when space becomes available on flights, he said.
Israel has been on increased alert for doomsday Christians who are suspected of planning violence to set off a chain of events that they maintain would bring about the second coming of Christ.
Israeli police arrested 21 foreign Christians on Monday for allegedly preparing the ground for groups from abroad planning apocalyptic acts ahead of the year 2000. The raid, in a neighborhood on the Mount of Olives, was the third Israeli operation in recent months against such Christian groups.
In January, Israel deported 14 members of the Denver-based Concerned Christians group on suspicions they planned to commit mass suicide in Jerusalem. And earlier this month, it deported a group of Irish and Romanian pilgrims it suspected of extremist tendencies.

House of spirits
Ghostly legend hangs in rafters of Sigma Nu
For years now, a woman has been living among men at the Sigma Nu fraternity house. But this is not just any woman—she is a ghost. Or so the story goes.
When the capital of Kansas was Lawrence, the Sigma Nu house was home to the governor. A 1911 Lawrence Journal World article reported that after returning from a trip to Topeka one night, then-Governor Roscoe Stubbs, who served from 1908-1912, entered his mansion to find his 17-year-old assistant, who also was his adoptive daughter, Virginia Rockham-Stubbs, hanging dead by a rope from the rafters.
The story does not end there. Douglas County has no record of the burial of Rockham-Stubbs. It is rumored that her final resting place is in the fireplace of the house, which bears a plaque with an eerie resemblance to plaques found on tombstones. It reads, "The world of strife shut out, the world of love shut in."
"I don't know if she's really buried in there." said Ryan Sheahan, Fort Collins, Colo., senior. "I think it's just a myth that's been passed down in our house for years."
It never was determined if Rockham-Stubbs' death was the result of suicide, or a more gruesome possibility — murder. Some speculate
that Stubbs was having an affair with the young girl. The legend says that Stubbs' wife was the killer because she may have been upset at her-husband's infidelities. Shortly after the body of Rockham-Stubbs was found, the governor's wife was found on the balcony in a catatonic state.
Sigma Nu purchased the house in 1922, and according to many members, add things have been happening ever since. By 1982, there were more than 60 documented reports of strange activities dating back decades. Some Sigma Nu alumni have reported hearing the voices of two hysterical women arguing — presumably Stubbs' wife and Rockham-Stubbs. Others have reported hearing doors slamming and footsteps throughout the house.
However, Sigma Nu president Brian Wanamaker, Topeka junior, said there have not been any strange activities recently.
"I've never had anything happen to me," Wanamaker said. "I know that one time, this guy who had graduated two years ago came down the stairs and saw this girl sitting next to one of his brothers and he asked, 'How you guys doing?' The guy on the couch was like, What are you talking about? He looked back and the girl was gone."
Wanamaker also said that most of the strange happenings he has been witness to or has heard about involved the house's electricity.
"One time a guy had his stereo unplugged. He left the room, and when he came back, it was plugged in and the music was blasting," Wanamaker said.
On the evening of Oct. 12, Sigma Nu, in conjunction with Student Union Activities, sponsored a presentation given by two ghost hunters, Lorraine and Ed Warren. They investigated the Sigma Nu house for a paranormal presence and concluded that there definitely were spirits in the house. Sheahan said that more than 300 people attended. The Warrens, who have been ghost hunters for more than 50 years, reportedly detected the presence of a young woman in the room where Rockham-Stubbs died, according to an Oct. 13 article in the University Daily Kansan. This is something that had Sigma Nu members on edge, Sheahan said.
"It sure caught my attention, but we all have stories about how yeah, a door slammed, or a television came on when it was off, but in the four years that I have been here, nobody that I know has actually seen a ghost," Sheahan said.

Critics' favorites capture best of Hollywood horror
The Shining, Cemetary Man provide intelligent alternatives to blood and guts slasher flicks
RUPERT EVERETT
CEMETERY MAN
"Frightfully
funny."
Amy Dames
LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS

By Stephanie Sapienza
Kansan Movie Critic
Dellamorte (Everett) is the groudskeeper for Buffalora cemetery, a strange place where the dead just won't stay dead. This fact is not led up to by a series of hedonistic teens being eaten by Buffalora zombies. It is put forth plainly in the first scene, when Dellamorte casually shoots three newly risen zombies in the head while he simultaneously holds a phone conversation. This is apparently the only way to kill them for the second time. Dellamorte does not alert the authorities of the occurrences because, he says, it will arouse panic and create a mountain of paperwork. Did I mention this movie has a great sense of humor?
Cemetary Man isn't among the likes of Nightmare on Elm Street or Carrie in terms of American popularity, but far surpasses them in terms of originality and wit. This Italian film starring Rupert Everett and Anna Falchi is not for the light-hearted or close-minded. Beware, art filmphobes, the themes expressed in this film — alienation and impotence as linked with death and moral claustrophobia — are not for fans of Scream 2.
The film's director, Michele Soava, does a great job maintaining a level of humor while also portraying a web of complex emotional stagnancy in the film's lead. This flippancy towards the horrible chaos of Buffalora is shown to be a part of Dellamorte's apathy towards death, his loneliness and alienation. This all changes at the appearance of a mysterious woman with a love for all things dead, played by the stunning Falchil. She sends Dellamorte down a spiral of chaos, impotence, and finally rejection that ends at the film's shocking climax.
For anyone who craves something with a little more cerebral meat than the average Craven flick, try something foreign, such as Cemetary Man.
Forget that awful 1997 miniseries that appeared on television, the only version of The Shining worth seeing is the original 1980 movie. Starring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall and directed by the late Stanley Kubrick, The Shining is more of a complex psychological thriller than a routine horror movie. All-too-real issues like child abuse, insanity and alcoholism, weave with supernatural elements to make a movie both intelligent and scary.
While the movie shares the basic plot elements of Stephen King's book of the same title, Kubrick's version is a huge improvement on King's bloated novel of turgid prose. Nicholson plays Jack Torrance, a recovering alcoholic, who is the custodian of Colorado's Overlook Hotel, which has closed down for the winter. He lives in isolation with his wife and his son, Danny, who has clairvoyant capabilities that allow him to see into the future. This power is called the "shining."
By Brendan Walsh
Kansan movie critic
As the movie progresses it's clear that Jack is going insane, but it is never easy to tell what exactly causes this. Perhaps it's the ghost of Mr. Grady, the ex-custodian who killed his wife and two daughters and still haunts the house. But director Kubrick leaves open the possibility that something else may be going on here — perhaps a psychological breakdown instead of a genuinely supernatural experience.
Either way it's an amazing film, showeasing the talents of Kubrick and Nicholson, two of film's greatest treasures.

Kansas has lost last 30 in series by big margins
By Mike Miller sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
This Halloween weekend, the Kansas football team will face the curse of the Big Red. It's been 30 years since Pepper Rogers and 'his Jayhawks beat Nebraska 23-13 in Lincoln. Since then, it's been one massacre after another — with a few exceptions.
Nebraska eked out a 10-9 win in 1973. And 1993 was a scream for Jayhawk fans until Nebraska squeaked out a 21-20 victory.
Outside of those two games, the 'Huskers have had their way with the Jayhawks like Jason, of the Friday the 13th movies, had his way with those naughty camp counselors — they just kill the Jayhawks again and again. Nebraska has slaughtered the 'Hawks by an average of 38 points and hasn't allowed a point since Terry Allen's been at Kansas.
What makes the Cornhuskers scary is that they can intimidate teams before they step on the football field.
"Nebraska, man. The name speaks for itself," running back David Winbush said.

That's been part of the Jayhawks' problem this season. They've been outscored 60-26 in the first quarter this season, falling behind in all but three of their games.
"That's the most paramount thing for us to do," Allen said. "Stop Nebraska on their first drive. If Nebraska comes out and rolls down the field and scores the first couple of times, game over."
Allen said the early moments of the game would be a key for success against Nebraska. The Jayhawks will have to have the correct mindset before the game.
"They do a great job of not allowing people to believe that they can be beat," Allen said. "In order to beat them, you have to believe."
Believing is a start. What would help even more is stopping the Nebraska running game. The 'Huskers are No. 8 in the NCAA in rushing yards per game, and Kansas is ranked 76th in rushing defense. The Nebraska defense is even better ranked third overall.

'Hawks look to capitalize on Texas' sour mood
Kansan sportswriter
By Shawn Hutchinson
It's safe to say that the Jayhawks' next opponent won't be in the best of moods.
The Kansas volleyball team, 15-7 overall and 6-5 in the Big 12 Conference, will face the No. 9 Texas Longhorns tomorrow at 7 p.m. in Austin, Texas. The Longhorns still are simmering after a 3-1 loss on Wednesday at No. 16 Texas A&M, dropping Texas' record to 15-4 and 9-2.
"I'm sure they're going to be very focused," said Kansas coach Ray Bechard. "It's an opportunity for us to compete against a Top 10 team, and we could become a better team because of it."
Kansas snatched its second straight win on Wednesday against Missouri at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. The Jayhawks dominated every facet of the match, winning 15-5, 15-2 and 15-13.
"I definitely felt that everybody was on the same level, and everyone was working together," said Kansas junior outside hitter Amy Myatt. "It was just flowing."
The Jayhawks hope to keep the flow against the Longhorns, a team that Kansas faced on Sept. 22 at the Horejsi Center. In that match, Kansas jumped out to a 6-1 lead in the first game and held off a late Texas rally to win, 16-14.
The Longhorns then relied on their powerful duo of middle blocker Erin Aldrich and outside hitter Kathy Tilson, who combined for 34 kills in the match. Texas won the next three games, 15-9, 15-3 and 15-8.
"I think Aldrich is probably the premier player in the league right now because she is so athletic," Bechard said. "Tilson kind of had a breakout performance against us, and she's been very hot ever since."
Defensively, the Jayhawks have been hot themselves. During their two-match winning streak, the Jayhawks recorded 47 digs against Iowa State and 40 against Missouri.
■ Kansas needs one more Big 12 victory to set the record for most conference wins in a season. The current Jayhawks are tied with the 1991 sound, which went 6-7 in Bie 8 Conference play.
"We played really well, especially defensively," said Kansas sophomore setter Molly LaMere. "We've been working on it a lot in practice and it's starting to show."
Kansas senior middle blocker Amanda Reves is just three kills shy of taking sole possession of second place on Kansas' all-time kills chart, after picking up 13 against Missouri. Cyndee Kanabel (1990-93) owns second place with 1,122 kills.

Jayhawks steal media limelight from Big 12 foes

day.
While some coaches had praise for the Jayhawks, Nebraska coach Danny Nee thought otherwise. Nee was one of the coaches who spoke up about Kansas being the focal point of the Big 12 in the previous years.
DALLAS — Some things never change. And that adage held true yesterday at the Big 12 Conference men's media day as the Kansas Jayhawks were the hot topic of the day.
"I think (people in the media) judge the league by Kansas, and when Kansas is not in the Top 10, you tell us the Big 12 is down, and when they're in the Top 10 you say the league is up, and I think that's (unfair). Nee said. "I just feel that there are a lot of good coaches and a lot of good players in this league."
Kansas coach Roy Williams said that the reason teams talked about Kansas was because the Jayhawks had been the league's best in the past few seasons.
"Let's be honest about it, we've been the team that you want to beat, and I like that," Williams said. "I really do, because that

we're winning some of those games.
"I said when I was at North Carolina that I wish we'd have one game that we lost where the other fans would not storm the court, and that's what happens a lot of times when we lose, people storm the court. But I hope that goes on for the rest of my life."
Other coaches and players from around the league were more reserved than Nee when they talked about playing at Allen
Fieldhouse and Kansas' freshman class.
New Baylor coach Dave Bliss said that having to play at Allen Fieldhouse was one of the reasons he was not looking forward to joining the league.
Iowa State coach Larry Eustachy commented on two of Kansas' three freshmen, Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich, both of whom are from Iowa.
"Kirk Hinrich and Nick Collison are extremely good players, I'd say Top 20 in the nation, and I wish them both the best of luck," Eustachy said. "I think Iowa's a

Sorry 'Huskers: wins and losses lead to thrills
I lived in Nebraska for two years.
Don't give me that look. How was I supposed to know that Creighton University was in Nebraska? They don't put that in the brochure. My dad said it sounded like a good school. I said, 'Why not?' The next thing I knew was in the land of the Cornhuskers.
Office pools in Nebraska aren't won by picking more college football winners correctly than anyone else. You pick what you think will be the score of the Nebraska game at end of each quarter. They've never done it any other way.
It is difficult to understand the phenomenon that is the Nebraska football fan. Tomorrow, with as any 'Husker road game in any given city, they will pour into Lawrence by the thousands. For most fans, cheering for a team means three hours during the week to escape from reality. In Nebraska, Cornhusker football is reality. Other teams do not exist.
In 1996, when Nebraska lost to Arizona State — its first loss in three seasons — the entire city of Omaha came to a standstill. The next day, many stores didn't open. The streets

virtually were empty. Newspapers and television stations ran advertisements for domestic abuse hotlines because they were afraid of what depressed fanatics might do (no joke). The city was mourning the loss of a loved one.
When my roommates — Joe, Darrin, Jake, Derrick — and I arrived in Nebraska two years earlier with visions of medical school dancing in our heads, we weren't Big Red fans. After being bombarded by two years of 'Husker mania, we absolutely loathed everything about the school in Lincoln.
As the final seconds ticked away in the finals, and 200 Creighton students stormed the court, clinging to the players and jumping up and down like maniacs, one of my native-Nebraskan friends looked at me and screamed "This is the greatest feeling in the world."
Last year, I reunited with my Creighton buddies in St. Louis and watched our beloved Bluejays basketball team make a Cinderella run through the Missouri Valley Tournament and land in the midst of March Madness.
We used to joke that if Creighton exploded, killing everyone on the entire campus, we still would have to turn past the "Husker injury report and game-time weather update to read about it in the Omaha World Herald.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
After the Arizona State loss, we waited for our friends, who were Nebraska natives, to come by so we could shine like Sun Devil alumni. We had waited two long years for that day, and we had our moment to gloat. But we couldn't.
That event changed me. It changed the way I think about sports. I had always wanted my favorite sports teams to heap championship trophy upon championship trophy. But at that point, I realized that the most amazing feeling in sports is to experience an upset.
Our buddies were crushed. Absolutely and completely crushed. To this day they still don't talk about it.
Before kickoff tomorrow at Memorial Stadium, Kansas fans will look up at the scoreboard and it will read Jayhawks 0, Cornhuskers 0. And, if only for a brief second, they will dream about beating Nebraska.
No matter what happens tomorrow, as you are walking away from the stadium, and the Big Red fans yell at you, don't say anything. Just smile and know that at least you had the opportunity to experience something special and amazing. Something they probably never will.
What if we don't have any turnovers?
What if a couple of breaks go our way?

COLOR GUARD
Damage to silk flags totals more than $240
The damage bill is in for the eight Kansas color guard flags that were damaged at a halftime performance during Saturday's game at Memorial Stadium.
The flags were damaged when the Missouri football team took the field early.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Randy Timm, color guard coordinator, said that six of the eight damaged flags were ruined and that the flags cost $40 each.
"The flags are made of silk, and it's just an expensive fabric," he said. "You have to be very careful with them, and we are. It's just unfortunate that the Missouri team ran over them."
Bob Foster, Kansas band director, said that he had received many letters from Missouri fans that said how embarrassed they were of their team's actions.
Melvin Platt, Missouri's band director, also was unhappy with the actions of the Tigers and said that he would help the color guard pay for the flags.

Kansas also won the doubles championship when Echagaray and partner Ed Dus defeated Dusty Beard and Jeremy Dunham of Oklahoma 6-4, 7-6 (7-2).
The results of these tournaments will have a big effect on the season rankings, which will be announced before the spring season begins in January.

Ballots will be sent Nov. 5 to all 93 major league umpires, including the 22 let go last month, the National Labor Relations Board said yesterday.
Secret-ballot election to decide umpires' union
They will be given three choices; the current union, the new union formed by dissident umpires or neither, NLRB New York regional director Dan Silverman said.
Results of the secret-ballot election will be announced Nov. 30. If no choice gets a majority, a runoff will be held between the top two.
The dissidents want agent Ron Shapiro, who represents Cal Ripken, to negotiate their next labor contract.

basketball coach dies
His son, Forrest Anderson Jr., said Anderson died Monday in Oklahoma City from complications of pneumonia, the Lansing State Journal reported yesterday. Anderson was 80 years old.
EAST LANSING, Mich. — Former Michigan State basketball coach Forrest "Fordy" Anderson, who led the Spartans to the Final Four in 1957, has died.
Anderson coached from 1954-65. He had a 125-124 record that included a tie for the Big Ten title in 1956-57 and an outright championship in 1958-59. He was fired in 1965 after a 5-18 season and a lastplace finish in the conference.
Anderson also is survived by daughters Connie Swets, Barb Anderson and Tracey Bookout.
The O'Brien-Eggbeen-Gerst Chapel in Grand Rapids is in charge of arrangements.

Team needs positivity to beat 'Huskers
Kansas' offense will try to control the ball by mixing short passes and running Winbush and fullback Moran Norris. Winbush has missed two games because of ankle and knee injuries making Norris the featured back — an unexpected bonus because of his size and strength.

"It's been such a positive added
dimension for us," Allen said. "He doesn't change direction on a dime — more like a manhole cover."
Coming off the 21-0 victory against Missouri last weekend, the Jayhawks have been riding high. They were looking forward to playing Nebraska just moments after the game, and now, Allen has their buying into Nebraska's susceptibility.
"They put on their pads like we
put on our pads." Norris said. "We know that we'll be all right if we just go out there and play well."
The Jayhawks will need a few balls to bounce their way for them to have a chance — and Allen knows it.
"We'll have to get some breaks," he said. "You're going to have to create some turnovers and hope for some breaks."

great state. No one holds any grudges. The kids just did what they decided was best for them."
It may be true that some things never change, despite all of the talk, Williams said that he did not expect to take home the Big 12 championship without earning it.
"I think we've got a good basketball team," Williams said. "A few years ago, I said we should be considered the favorites, we're the best.
"I'm not that bold right now. I do think we have a chance to be a very good basketball team, and I think we're one of the teams that you should talk about in having a
chance to win the league, but I personally don't think we're the only team that should be talked about."
The All-Big 12 preseason team proves that talent exists outside of Kansas. Besides junior center Eric Chenowith, the team consists of Marcus Fizer of Iowa State; Chris Mihm of Texas; Eduardo Najera of Oklahoma; and Desmond Mason of Oklahoma State.
"There are a lot of good players on a lot of good teams." Nee said.
Although Mihm, who was voted by the coaches as the Big 12 preseason player of the year, and Chenowith, who is considered one of the nation's best centers, may battle for postseason player of the year, both players said that there
were more than a few talented players in the league.
"You can't concentrate on Chris and myself," Chenowith said. "I know they're going to be excited to play us this year, and it's going to be an all-out war."
Oklahoma coach Calvin Sampson said that he thought that there were some teams that could challenge Kansas.
"Kansas has been the flag-bearer for our league in basketball," Sampson said. "Some may not want to admit it, but it's true. But we do have some teams in the league who can get up there with them now and I think that's good for our league."

Coaches expecting Big 12 Conference to improve this year
By Matt Tait
sports@kansan.com

DALLAS — The Big 12 Conference may come to be known as the better 12 this season.
That was the consensus among the coaches and players who attended yesterday's Big 12 men's media day.
"I think the conference is
"I think going to be much better this year."

Snyder, a former assistant coach at Duke under Mike Kryzewski, joked that although he didn't even know all of the cities in the Big 12, he was *i-*
"I think the (Big 12) conference is going to be much better this year."
According to the Big 12 preseason coaches poll, the bottom six teams are Nebraska, Colorado, Texas Tech, Kansas State, Texas A & M and Baylor.
Sutton and other coaches said the teams would improve because of new coaches, and the number of older, more mature players in the Big 12.

awe of the conference's coaches.
"It's one of those things where I kind of pinch myself when I look at all of the great coaches in the league,"
Snvder said.
Bliss' track record also is impressive. He comes to Baylor after 10 years at New Mexico. Bliss also coached with Bobby Knight at Indiana and Army.
"The addition of Dave Bliss will add a lot to our conference," Sutton said. "He is an outstanding coach and an excellent person."

Soccer team shoots for winning record
Wins at tournament would complete goal
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansas.com
Kansas sportswriter
The Kansas soccer team will wrap up its season this weekend with two games in the Ole Miss Classic tournament in Oxford, Miss.
The Jayhawks will battle Mississippi at 7 tonight, and take on San Diego State at 3 p.m.
Saturday. The games will close what has been the most successful soccer season in Kansas history, and the Jayhawks, 8-1, would like to put an exclamation point on it by capturing two more wins.
"We just want to finish strong," coach Mark Francis said. "We've had a good season, the best in the history of the program, and we'd like to finish it with a couple of wins."
Winning both games won't come easy. Mississippi won the Southeast Conference western division title and will carry an 11-7 record into tonight's game. The Lady Rebels have lost their last four games though, and Kansas has won both previous meetings between the two schools, the last one was a 4-2 Jayhawk victory in 1997.
Diego State, and the Aztecs should prove to be a formidable opponent as well. The Aztecs are 12-5, have won their last three games and have spent several weeks in the Top 25.
Kansas isn't taking either team lightly.
"They're both very good teams," Francis said. "They'll be tough, so we'll have to play very well to win."
The team set two goals at the start of the season — qualifying for the Big 12 Conference tournament and finishing with a
winning record. The Jayhawks missed out on the tournament, but they still have a chance at a winning record.
Kansas has never played San
"It's extremely important," said Betsy Pollard, senior goalkeeper and team
captain. "With two wins this weekend, we can come home with a winning record, which KU hasn't done in the history of soccer."
A winning record is within reach, and the ball is on Kansas' half of the field. The Jayhawks have a plan.
"Our main prerogative is to go there and play our hardest, play our game and keep the ball moving." Pollard said. "If we go down there and play the way we know how, I think we can definitely come home with two wins under our belt."

Both the men's and women's teams hope to improve their finishes from last year. The men finished sixth and the women finished in last place.

mg congestion is a fine race," he said. "I've been real consistent all season, and I always tend to kick it up at the end."
Gary Schwartz, Kansas cross country coach, said his runners should do well.
"We're going down there with the expectation of putting together their best race of the season or for their careers," Schwartz said.
He said the race wouldn't be easy.
"The Big 12 is always one of the toughest cross country conferences, and this year won't be much different," Schwartz said. "There is going to be some real tough competition."
The men's team will try to defeat three-time defending Big 12 Conference champion Colorado. Colorado's men's and women's teams are both ranked fourth nationally. Besides Colorado, the women will have to keep their eye on Kansas State, which is ranked seventh.
enth. The women's race will have tight competition because six of the Big 12 Conference women's teams are ranked in the top 25.
Schwartz said he felt that the tough competition on Saturday would help his runners become stronger and better.
Last year, senior Brian Jensen placed fifth in the conference meet and then advanced to the NCAA Championships after placing second in the District V meet.
The men's team will look for Tate to be a leader at the meet. He has been the most consistent runner during the season. Tate won the Southern Illinois Invitational on Sept. 4.
Sophomore Keely Malone will lead the women's team. She has placed first for Kansas in the past two meets.
The women's 5,000 meter race will begin at 10 a.m. followed by the men's 8,000 meter race at 11 a.m.

Preparation for the Head of the Iowa has been slightly different this year because the team has been missing one important person — the coach.
'Hawks prepare for regatta without coach
Rowing
The Kansas rowing team will be looking for a repeat of last year's performance at the Head of the Iowa Regatta on Sunday in Iowa City, Iowa. The Jayhawks won two gold medals last year in Iowa City and placed as high as fourth with their novice four, or freshman, boat and eighth in the movie eight division.
"Practice has gone as it always has,"
"It's a little tougher when there are 73 athletes in action with only two coaches instead of three," Galvin said. "Particularly when the one gone is the head coach."
Cravens was referring to the Head of the Charles Regatta, where the Jayhawks' first varsity boat finished 24th, falling short of their goal of placing in the Top 15.
The Jayhawks will have numerous chances for improvement. This will be the first regatta of the season in

which Kansas will be entering novice boats and pairs. Pairs involve two rowers, with one acting as the coxwain, navigating the boat. Instead of facing toward the front of the boat like a coxswain, the rower navigating the pairs boat must do double duty, rowing and turning toward the front of the boat periodically to book where she needs to steer. The rower steers with her foot, which is connected to a mechanism that steers the rudder under the boat.

'Huskers look to recover from loss to Longhorns
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Game-week preparations for tomorrow's Kansas-Nebraska matchup have exposed the defining differences between the teams' situations.
Nebraska's 24-20 defeat against Texas last Saturday was only its 16th defeat this decade, and its first this season. Nebraska coach Frank Solich said Saturday's defeat made his team focus on the Jayhawks.
"I think our players have accepted the challenge," Solich said. "They were down. They were stung pretty good by the loss, but they've focused on getting back on track."
Getting the Cornhuskers back on track means getting back to winning. It's been nine years since Nebraska lost back-to-back games and 30 since the Cornhuskers have lost to Kansas.
Despite having history on Nebraska's side, Solich said the approach for tomorrow's game was the same as always.
"We'll just go back to the way we approach every ball game," Solich said. "We know that Kansas is a big game. If we don't get it done, it will be a Titanic of a game."
Getting it done against the Jayhawks in the past hasn't been a problem for the Cornhuskers. The two teams have played 105 times with Nebraska winning 81 of those games. Even worse, Kansas has been outscored 180-10 in the past four years.
Coach Terry Allen has seen his team fall to Nebraska 35-0 and 41-1 in two seasons.
A main reason for this dominance has been Nebraska's defense, which ranks third in the nation in total defense. The Cornhuskers allow only 237 yards per game.
"Other teams are going to have to realize that every year Nebraska is going to come and play hard and physical football," said Nebraska defensive back Mike Brown. "Just expect us to give 100 percent and play physical football."
Playing physical defense is exactly what the Cornhuskers have been doing, Solich said.
"Our defense has been so dominant in previous games," Solich said. "You always have confidence in that. But every game is a new game, and you have to step on the field and prove yourselves."
While Nebraska's defense has been overpowering this season, its offense has been equally efficient. The Cornhuskers feature standout junior running backs Dan Alexander and Correll Buckhalter, who team with quarterback Eric Crouch to form one of the nation's top rushing attacks.
Allen is among Crouch's admirers.
"Eric Crouch is really good." Allen said. "He's only a sophomore, so in two years, he'll be absolutely unbelievable."
